Chapter 234: Commander of the Jinyi Guard
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and finally made a decision, "Since it is the method you proposed, let you deal with the affairs of the Kong family, right?" ”
He Qiu was taken aback, this matter fell on his head like this?
I knew that I wouldn't mention this to Zhu Yuanzhang, He Qiu said with a bitter face.
"This ...... Yuying is about to come to the capital with her children, you can't let us live separately again, right? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, "National affairs should be put in front, why are you still thinking about that little thing about children's affection!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused, and then said.
"When she comes, I'll explain it to him personally!"
He Qiu is very depressed, it seems that he has to go, Zhu Yuanzhang put down his words and personally appeased his granddaughter, what else can He Qiu be dissatisfied with?
However, He Qiu also thought of a key, he didn't have any clear position in the imperial court, and it was not so easy to go to Shandong to check Confucius's house alone this time.
"Then can Your Majesty match me with some manpower, you can't let me go to the Kong family alone, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a warm smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I plan to promote you to the commander of Jinyiwei, this time I will go to Shandong, you just bring Jinyiwei's people."
He Qiu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly excused himself, how dare he be contaminated by the commander of Jinyiwei, how dare he be contaminated, if he does a good job or a bad job, he will die in the end.
"Your Majesty, this brocade guard has a lot to do, and the minister is only a small talent, so it is really difficult to take on this great responsibility!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table angrily.
"If I tell you to do it, you can do it, where is so much nonsense!"
He Qiu was taken aback, and immediately listened honestly to Zhu Yuanzhang's lecture.
"Alas, not long ago, the entire Jinyi Guard system was cleaned up by me, and in desperation, I also promoted a group of eunuchs to be eyes and ears, but what these people reported was always trivial and trivial, and it was really difficult to take on a big job!"
"As my grandson-in-law, you are talented, I handed over the Jinyi Guard to you, and you took care of it for me, keeping an eye on the officials below, understand?"
He Qiu heard that Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was a little weak and tired, after all, he was an old man, even if he was the powerful Hongwu Emperor, time would not be merciful because of this.
He Qiu plopped down on his knees and said.
"Your Majesty is not despicable to the minister, so cultivated, the minister will go all out, supervise the Quartet, escort the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations, do your best, and die!"
Listening to He Qiu's nondescript words of thanks, Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and pulled He Qiu up from the ground with a relieved smile on his face.
"I also know that it's a bit embarrassing to hand over such things to you, Jinyiwei's work has always been easy to offend people, and I still have to work hard for you."
Although He Qiu was apprehensive in his heart, he couldn't show his cowardice in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and gritted his teeth and said.
"The minister will do his best!"
Zhu Yuanzhang patted He Qiu's shoulder and said.
"Do a good job, I am waiting for your good news in the capital!"
"Yes!"
He Qiu strode out of the palace gate, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his back, and Zhu Yuanzhang had a sneer on his face.
"Don't think that when I'm old, I dare to come out and blow up the thorns, I'm not without help!"
Zhu Yuanzhang is certainly a shrewd and capable emperor, but now that he is old, power will find a suitable core again, it would have been Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao is also suitable.
But now, the prince died violently, Zhu Yunwen couldn't afford the responsibility of the power center of the Ming Dynasty, and part of the power in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands inevitably flowed out to the hands of the courtiers.
This was originally a compromise in desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang was already doing his best to cultivate Zhu Yunwen, but the result still made him feel a little disappointed.
At the same time, in just a few months, these ministers have some different thoughts, and He Qiu naturally doesn't know about this ruin in the court.
But Zhu Yuanzhang has keenly felt that these officials under him are beginning to be a little disobedient, if it was in the past, how could anyone dare to sue the grandson's uncle so directly.
Not to mention that it is reforming, special affairs, not to mention that the person who denounced Lu Ping is dedicated to the country, there must be some interests behind this.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang can't see clearly now, after cleaning the brocade guard, Zhu Yuanzhang can't even see some things in the capital gradually can't see clearly, which is too different from when Zhu Yuanzhang was in charge of all the big and small matters!
Zhu Yuanzhang also understands that this is not only because of the decline in his energy and the abolition of his ears and eyes, but more importantly, because people are moved, and many people are unwilling to let Zhu Yuanzhang know so much.
If it had been changed before, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely kill another batch, but now Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a little tired of it.
So many people are waiting for him to die, ushering in the era of Taisun Zhu Yunwen, or the era of Wenchen, which is not something that Zhu Yuanzhang can easily stop.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not good at being tough with such a trend, he can still do it by picking someone to help him get through this difficult time and steadily transfer power to Zhu Yunwen.
He Qiu has an innocent background, and he basically has no involvement with all the ministers in the court, and the previous Shuntian Mansion Yin Chenmo is still serving as a foreign official.
Moreover, he was quite talented, and he proposed to reform at the beginning, determined the policy of reform, and then dealt with the arrangement of the Mongol surrender, which can also be said to be the best means.
Although he is Zhu Di's son-in-law, Zhu Yuanzhang is confident that he will not have any negative effect on Zhu Yunwen's succession, you must know that He Qiu is still Zhu Yunwen's teacher.
He Qiu walked out of the palace gate, and his face fell, although in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was very confident, but saying and doing are two different things, not to mention that it was Jinyiwei who commanded this fire pit.
Back at Yanwang Mansion, He Qiu looked at the three Zhu Gaochi brothers in front of him and said casually.
"Ahem...... Today I have been appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”
Zhu Gaoxu, who was grabbing snacks with Zhu Gaosui on the side, didn't pay attention and responded casually.
"Brother-in-law, you've been made official, it's good, Jinyi Wei ......"
Zhu Gaoxu could be regarded as reacting, stood up abruptly and looked at He Qiu, and asked with wide eyes.
"How could this be the commander of the Jinyi Guard? You shouldn't be named a member of the household department, then you should also be a principal, how did you become a brocade guard? ”
Zhu Gaochi was also surprised, in the eyes of their brothers, He Qiu and Jinyiwei had nothing to do with each other, why did he let him be the commander of Jinyiwei?
Although Zhu Gaosui was young, he also knew the official system of the court, and asked curiously.
"Brother-in-law, hurry up and tell us what's going on. Why did the emperor's grandfather choose you to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard? ”
He Qiu told the three brothers the details of the previous conversation with Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm afraid this is also the drawbacks of Your Majesty after seeing the Great Purge of Jinyiwei, the Son of Heaven has been blinded, with His Majesty's temperament, he can bear to be fooled like this by the people below, and he will naturally pick someone he trusts to be the commander of Jinyiwei."
Zhu Gaoxu circled around He Qiu, kept shaking his head, and finally said.
"But it won't be your turn, will it? How did you get the trust of the imperial grandfather? ”
