What did Xu Jingchang do wrong?

Just this sentence made Ji Gang's soul fly...... He is here to beg for help, and his fault is also his, how dare he blame Xu Jingchang? People are talking the opposite, asking themselves for their sins.

In the final analysis, it was Ji Gang who underestimated Xu Jingchang and treated him like a child.

This is also a common problem of playing too much in the low-end game, although I know that people are not simple, but I just can't imagine the depth of others...... At this point, Ji Gang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"The Metropolitan Governor...... Xia Yuanji and others conspired and prepared to instigate the impeachment of the imperial history, and they will be written tomorrow...... It's just that there is something in the palace today, and the lowly position can't enter the palace no matter what, so he can only beg the governor for help. He was humble and confused, and he never came to see the Metropolitan Governor early, and hoped that the Metropolitan Governor would forgive his sins. Please also ask the Metropolitan Governor to look at the huge family business of Jinyiwei, face Your Majesty, and be grateful for his humble duties, and Jinyiwei will also be grateful to the Metropolitan Governor. ”

After finishing speaking, seeing that Xu Jingchang was indifferent, Ji Gang was really anxious, so he could only continue to kowtow, and after a while, blood appeared on his forehead.

Xu Jingchang was still holding a fishing rod in his hand, and sighed lightly: "Ji Gang, it stands to reason that I shouldn't care about this matter, but since you are here and I have seen you, I can't turn it away." You kowtow to me and beg bitterly, and I can't be indifferent. Well, let me ask you a few questions. ”

Ji Gang hurriedly raised his head and said, "Ask the Metropolitan Governor to ask, and I know everything from humble positions." ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Is your Jinyi Wei greedy for the money of the family?" ”

Ji Gang paused, and could only nod helplessly, "There are indeed people who are greedy for ink, but the brothers have worked hard from Yingtian to Hangzhou, and they can't help but give the big guy a little benefit, otherwise no one will work." ”

Xu Jingchang ignored his explanation, but continued: "How many are in your hands? ”

Ji Gang hesitated a little, and could only say helplessly: "There are almost 100,000 taels...... The lowly post immediately went back, and sent the money to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and gave filial piety to the Dadu Governor, and the lowly post did not dare to ask for a tael of silver. ”

Hearing this, Xu Jingchang put away the fishing rod in his hand, got up and left.

"Since Commander Ji Gang looks at this matter like this, even if I want to help you, I can't help you, you can do it yourself!"

Ji Gang was shocked, and hurriedly pounced over to save Xu Jingchang's thigh.

"The Metropolitan Governor, although he studied in his early years, he was born in a reckless manner, did not understand the court situation, and did not understand government affairs. If there is anything wrong with what the humble man said, it is also an unintentional mistake. I didn't dare to ask the Metropolitan Governor for help, I just wanted to ask the Metropolitan Governor for advice, even if it was death, I had to die clearly, and I couldn't be a fool! ”

Hearing Ji Gang say this, Xu Jingchang finally sighed.

"Get up, I'm too lazy to bow my head and talk to you."

Ji Gang trembled and got up, but where did he dare to raise his head, he could only bow his body, like a primary school student, listening to the lesson.

"Ji Gang, you said that you don't understand the court bureau and don't understand government affairs...... Then I'll solve the problem from the court bureau, do you know the situation of Jinyiwei at this time, why is it so passive? ”

Ji Gang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "It's Xia Yuanji's troubled people, they deliberately frame the lowly position!" ”

"Wrong!" Xu Jingchang said politely: "The matter is in Jinyiwei himself...... I'm asking you now, what is Jinyiwei? ”

"Count the Son of Heaven as a pro-army, and command the envoy to perform directly to His Majesty." Ji Gang said simply.

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "You can secretly play to Your Majesty...... But I ask you, where does the funding for Jinyiwei come from? You have so many soldiers, they are everywhere to listen to the news, help you arrest people and take people, where do their money come from? ”

This question poked at the key point of Ji Gang, and as a commander, he couldn't answer it for a while.

From the very beginning, this thing was a monster, and the division of rights and responsibilities was very unclear.

Jinyiwei originally originated from the Gongwei Division and belonged to the pro-army establishment, from this reason, Jinyiwei should belong to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

But then Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jinyiwei to supervise hundreds of officials, arrest the lawless, and report directly to the Son of Heaven. In this way, it seems that Jinyiwei should belong to the inner court.

But the twenty-four yamen of the inner court is not the boss of Jinyiwei.

Even if the East Factory was later set up to surpass Jinyiwei, there was no clear subordinate relationship between the two, and it all relied on the personal prestige of the factory ministers.

Most of the time, Jinyiwei has to obey the arrangement of the East Factory, but if he encounters a strong Jinyi Governor like Lu Bing, he can also achieve anti-customer dominance and override the East Factory.

All in all, Jin Yiwei is a freak that no one wants.

The governor's office of the five armies cannot be controlled, the inner court cannot directly govern it, and the outer court cannot interfere.

Xu Jingchang repeatedly asked about the source of Jinyiwei's income...... A considerable part of this is paid according to the standards of the military.

But Jinyiwei is different from ordinary soldiers and horses, and he has to rely on the inner court to allocate some money.

It's just that these two things are not all the sources of income for Jinyiwei...... In fact, Jinyiwei holds great power, and he will definitely not treat himself badly, extort money, bend the law and commit fraud, and even some Jinyiwei will kidnap rich people and force them to hand over the ransom.

It is said that Lu Bing, the most famous governor of the Jinyi Guard, likes to do this.

In addition, when handling cases, it is even more common to confiscate and confiscate homes.

Jin Yiwei is definitely not short of money, but it is really difficult to tell where the money comes from.

"Metropolitan Governor, our Jinyi Wei is to do dirty work for His Majesty, and sometimes, we need to buy eyeliner, which costs a lot. Even if the money is put in the hands of the lowly position, it is not lowly and has to be spent to serve His Majesty. ”

"Can you tell you where the money is going?" Xu Jingchang asked lightly.

Ji Gang cried, "Governor, I can't explain this matter at all!" ”

"So what's the problem with people grabbing this trick and saying that you are enriching your own pockets and embezzling the silver taels that should have been sent to the treasury? You still want me to speak for you, let me rush into the palace, if I follow your wishes, even if I sue Xia Shangshu, what can I do? Framing important ministers of the court, you can be desperate for the commander of Ji Gang, but I can't, I have a hereditary title, and I have such a big family, I will accompany you to go crazy? You're underestimating me, aren't you? ”

These few words are really sharp, tearing apart Ji Gang's mind and drying it under the sun, at a glance.

He just bullied Xu Jingchang young, thinking that he could be easily manipulated, as soon as he said that Jinyiwei was bullied, this metropolitan governor would be desperate to help Jinyiwei speak.

relied on Xu Jingchang's status and relationship to bring down an important minister of the imperial court...... As for what the consequences would be, Ji Gang didn't think about it at all.

It's a pity, he doesn't want to, Xu Jingchang can't help it.

"Ji Gang, to be honest, I really don't want to see you, and I don't bother to speak for you. The commander of the Jinyi Guard is no more valuable than the green-haired turtle of the Qinhuai River, and those who want to do it will grab a handful! ”

Ji Gang was sweating and trembling all over.

Xu Jingchang laughed again, "I shouldn't have spoken badly, but I can't help it!" As soon as you came in, you were crying and kowtowing. It looks deferential, but it's not like treating me like a child and thinking your performance can be useful! ”

Xu Jingchang said: "It doesn't work, these can't do it...... You have to think clearly, Jinyiwei's accounts continue to be messy, and without Xia Yuanji, there will be other courtiers who will follow suit. And I also know to tell you that it is much easier to change the commander of the Jinyi Guard than to change the household secretary and financial management master. ”

Ji Gang took another breath of cold air, and his face turned pale and pale.

"Governor, I really deserve to be damned, I want to kill myself now...... The lowly position is confused, and now it is a big mess, everything is up to the governor, what to do, and I hope to give advice, even if I want to be humble, I deserve it. ”

Xu Jingchang waved his hand and stopped Ji Gang's words.

"Don't talk nonsense, you have to understand that the imperial court is not Liangshanbo, it is a place with rules. Since Jinyiwei belongs to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the annual expenses must go through the accounts of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies will request appropriations from the Ministry of War, understand? ”

"Understood!" Ji Gang nodded, but he was embarrassed: "Governor Dadu, if this is the case, relying on the money given by the Ministry of War, Jinyiwei will not be able to do anything, and he can really only act as a façade and guard the palace." ”

"So you need a special budget!" Xu Jingchang said: "The commander of the Jinyi Guard can't just obey His Majesty on the surface. The annual special budget must be reported to the Son of Heaven and counted as the expenses of the inner court. It can be allocated from within. In any case, you can't raise your own funds like you are now, right? What's that? A country within a state? ”

Xu Jingchang's words can be called a pearl of words, pointing directly to the shortcomings of Jinyiwei.

This famous yamen has not even clarified the most basic preparation and budget.

In this way, it is not too easy to be caught.

Ji Gang thought about it again and again, and he also felt reasonable.

"Ignorance understood...... It's just that someone is impeaching the lowly position, and the lowly position should be ......" Ji Gang raised his head and stared at Xu Jingchang.

Xu Jingchang smiled: "What about impeachment? They can be impeached at will, and Your Majesty can't punish you without asking questions. The key is who will handle this case, as long as the person who handles the case upholds a public heart, that is. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Gang understands even if he is a fool, the problem is not Xia Yuanji's impeachment, but to hand over this case to Xu Jingchang to handle!

"The Metropolitan Governor, the humble post is really a mouth-opener, an eye-opener, the humble post has learned more today than in the past few decades, and the humble post is really a waste of time." Ji Gang leaned over and said, "Then tomorrow in the court, the Metropolitan Governor will personally request a thorough investigation of Jinyiwei?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "How can there be a reason to check yourself." You go and prepare the roster of Jinyiwei now, and if you have any messy things, you will also present them to me. I will take these things and go to see Xia Shangshu. The court is not about fighting and killing, bullying people, it is about human feelings and fair trade. If Jinyiwei doesn't come nonsense, people will naturally let you go, what to do in the future, but you have to think clearly. ”

Ji Gang was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Despicable and obedient, all obey the governor." ”

Xu Jingchang nodded slightly, waved his hand to let him retreat, and then picked up the fishing rod again.

Moments later, a fat black fish took the bait...... It's time for a snack tonight!
