The power structure of Jinyiwei has changed dramatically in the past six years.

Jiang Bin and Qian Ning are in charge of the Fusi of Beizhen and are responsible for supervising hundreds of officials.

Chang Feng and Wang Miaoxin are in charge of the South Town Fu Division, responsible for foreign military affairs.

Jinyiwei is a vicious dog raised by the emperor. The emperor wanted to adjust the power structure of Jinyiwei, and Chang Feng was powerless and could not stop it.

Heng and Zhi Changfeng are tired of all kinds of chickens, dogs, thieves, and frame-ups in the court. He just happened to push the boat out of the river and concentrate on the affairs of the Tatar army.

It is better to deal with foreign enemies than to make a living by planting false accusations, kidnapping tickets, and assassinations.

Chang Feng's old brothers, such as Basha and his Tujia robes, were all transferred to Nanzhen Fusi.

Although there is an east factory above Jinyiwei. However, Zhang Yong, the governor of Dongchang, was busy with the affairs of the 12th regiment and battalion, and he had no energy to manage Jinyiwei at all.

On this day, two officials dressed in eight-grade uniforms rode horses to Zhengyang Gate.

In front of Zhengyang Gate, there is a plainclothes lieutenant from Beizhen Fusi on duty. The plainclothes lieutenant immediately noticed the two men.

The gatekeeper of Zhengyangmen asked: "What are the official positions of the two?" Why Beijing? ”

The tall man arched his hand and said: "Yan Shun, the deputy envoy of the Ningwang Mansion in Xiajiangxi, this is Chen Xuan, the Dianbao of the Ningwang Mansion." Performers. There is something important. ”

The deputy envoy of Dianbao is in charge of printing letters in the palace, and Dianshan is a chef. Neither of them has a high status.

The gatekeeper asked: "Is there a order issued by the imperial court to enter Beijing?" ”

The vassal king's subordinate officials were not allowed to enter Beijing without an order. This is the rule set by Emperor Taizong back then.

Taizong was born in Jingnan (rebellion). When he was still the king of Yan, he sent a large number of officials of the Yan Wangfu into Beijing and walked around. or spy on intelligence, or win over courtiers

After becoming the emperor, he naturally tabooed this matter.

Yan Shun said: "We entered Beijing to go to Jinyi Wei to report a major event. Although there is no order to enter Beijing, please do not stop it. ”

The plainclothes lieutenant of Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward: "Oh? What are you going to Jinyi to report to you? ”

Yan Shun replied: "The stakes are very high, we can only tell the Changhou of Jinyiwei in person." ”

The plainclothes lieutenant said, "Cheng." Come with me, both of you. ”

Yan Shun and Chen Xuan followed the plainclothes lieutenant to the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town.

The plainclothes lieutenant immediately went to find the hundreds of households above, the hundreds of households gave thousands of households, and the thousands of households gave Jiang Bin and Qian Ning.

Yan Shun and Chen Xuanyuan are in Jiangxi. They still think that Jinyiwei is a world-famous meritorious minister, and Marquis Chang is in charge.

As everyone knows, Beizhen Fusi has already returned to Jiang and Qian. The affairs of the feudal domain were under the jurisdiction of these two men.

Not long after, Jiang Bin and Qian Ning met Yan Shun and Chen Xuan in the Fusi lobby of Beizhen.

Jiang Bin got straight to the point: "As a subordinate official of King Ning's Mansion, don't you stay in Nanchang well, what are you doing in the capital?" ”

Yan Shun arched his hand: "The lower officials came to report the rebellion!" ”

Jiang Bin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Rebellion? Who rebelled? ”

Yan Shun replied: "King Ning rebelled!" In the past few years, King Ning and Li Shishi, the imperial historian of Zhishi, who returned to Nanchang, Liu Yangzheng, the palace strategist, and Ge Jiang, the capital of Jiangxi, conspired against each other and secretly built warships. It also collected bandits, thieves, and homeless people in Northern Jiangxi. Forcing good people and rich families to death, and plundering property to finance military expenses."

"His evil intentions are clearly exposed!"

Jiang Bin and Qian Ning glanced at each other.

Jiang Bin said: "The charges against you are not small! Is there any evidence? ”

Yan Shun said: "The two of us are human witnesses. In the entire Nanchang City, everyone knows that King Ning has a heart of disobedience. Jinyiwei only needs to send someone to check, and you will know it after checking. ”

Jiang Bin closed his eyes and was silent.

Qian Ning slapped the case: "Bold thief! ”

Yan Shun thought that Qian Ning scolded King Ning as a "thief". He said: "King Ning is indeed a chaotic minister and thief. He also asked Commander Qian and Governor Jiang to immediately report the matter to the Marquis Chang. ”

That's right, Jiang Bin's delivery room has good news - it has risen. He is now the governor of the Left Army, the highest-ranking military general of the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Ning was furious: "You dare to slander the prince of Daming? You're a rebel! ”

Yan Shun was dumbfounded.

For the magnates in the capital, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, is a figure like a fortune boy.

Every year, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, Ning Wangfu will always send people to Beijing to scatter coins. Jiang Bin and Qian Ning, as the favored ministers of Emperor Zhengde, are naturally the key gift-giving objects of King Ning's mansion.

These two people have taken hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from King Ning's Mansion over the years.

Jiang Bin spoke: "As a subordinate official of Ning Wangfu, you didn't do a good job for your master, but ran into Beijing without permission and falsely accused your master. Commander Qian said well, you two are real rebels and thieves! ”

Qian Ning said angrily: "Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness King Ning is loyal to the emperor!" He is a famous virtuous king in Jiangnan! But you say he will rebel? That's nonsense! ”

Qian Ning not only received the gift silver and ice charcoal silver from Ning Wangfu, but also received three Nanchang beauties sent by Ning Wangfu. One of them was officially accepted by him as a concubine.

Jiang Bin is even more out of line. King Ning monopolized the salt industry in Nanchang City. Forty percent of the cadres are Jiang Bin's.

Although Wang Shouren, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, had heard of King Ning's lawlessness for a long time. However, Nanchang is in Northern Jiangxi and does not belong to the jurisdiction of Wang Shouren. He can't reach it.

Yan Shun instantly understood. The two in front of him have already been bought by King Ning.

Yan Shun shouted: "I want to see Lord Chang!" ”

Jiang Bin said angrily: "Hou Ye has a lot of opportunities. Is it your little eight-pin sesame official who can see it if you want to? How can he listen to you make up lies and frame the vassal king! ”

Yan Shun shouted: "The rebellion of the vassal king is related to the safety of the society. Chang Hou Ye is in charge of the brocade guard, should."

Qian Ning slapped the case: "Shut up!" What to shout? Hou Ye no longer cares about the affairs of the domain. The affairs of the feudal domain are under the jurisdiction of the two of us! ”

Jiang Bin said: "Come on, put these two rebellious bastards in prison!" They are to be held in solitary confinement, and no one is allowed to talk to them, lest they bewitch the crowd! ”

Yan Shun and Chen Xuan shouted "wronged".

Jiang Bin and Qian Ning's subordinates did not give in vain. Directly use the scabbard of the embroidered spring knife to slam the mouths of the two. The two of them were so bloodied that they couldn't speak.

After Yan Shun and Chen Xuan were escorted away, Jiang Bin discussed with Qian Ning: "You say, will King Ning rebel?" ”

Qian Ning smiled: "Rebellion? Unless King Ning has dung in his head! This is not the Jianwen year! How many soldiers did the vassal king have? Let's just say that the Naning Palace, but there are only 30,000 people in the two guards. ”

"Generals at all levels of the Protector Army must eat at least half of the vacancy! He had fifteen thousand soldiers in his hands. If you get rid of the old and weak who occupy the pit and don't, I'm afraid there are only a few thousand soldiers available. ”

"There are 60,000 guards in Guangjiang West Province! Not to mention that Nanjiang also has a Wang Shouren who holds the banner of the king's order, can adjust the garrisons of Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong, and is famous for being able to fight. ”

"As long as King Ning is not a stupid pig, he will not rebel!"

Jiang Bin thought for a long time and said, "What Brother Qian said is extremely true! King Ning will definitely not be opposed! Unless he's crazy! ”

Although Qian Ning and Jiang Bin received a lot of gifts from King Ning, they had never seen King Ning himself.

They didn't know that King Ning's brain was not normal. In the words of later generations, it is "clear thinking". You can't speculate on King Ning's thoughts in the way of ordinary people's thinking.

Qian Ning said: "Since we have calculated that King Ning will not rebel. Then the next step is to think about how to deal with Yan Shun and Chen Xuan. ”

Jiang Bin said: "Naturally, you can't hand them over to Master Hou." If the Hou Ye saw them, he would definitely send someone to Chaning Palace. ”

"Although King Ning has no intention of rebelling. But he gives gifts to the officials of the capital every year! This also includes our brothers. ”

"The emperor's close ministers accept the heavy gifts of the vassal king, don't care whether the vassal king has the intention of rebellion. If it is found, the close ministers will be punished. ”

Qian Ning nodded: "Brother Jiang is reasonable. This matter can't be known to Hou Ye. Hou Ye is good in every way, but the only drawback is that he loves to be more serious. ”

"I think we'll give Yan Shun and Chen Xuan," Qian Ning made a throat-slitting gesture.

Jiang Bin waved his hand: "It's not proper!" When it comes to killing, try not to do it yourself. Killing people with a knife is the best policy. ”

"I don't think so. Let's condemn Yan Shun and Chen Xuan to the crime of 'betraying righteousness and running away'. Each of them was given fifty canes and sent to Xiaolingwei to grow vegetables. ”

"Be a favor again and send a letter to King Ning. King Ning will be halfway through and will shut them up forever. ”

Qian Ning stretched out his thumb: "High, really high!" In this way, our brothers did not have blood on their hands, but also gave King Ning a favor. ”

"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming. He can't give us another generous gift for us to spend? ”

Jiang Bin smiled: "Haha, King Ning can be a man." We helped him, and he would say something. ”

Qian Ning said again: "King Ning should have done a lot of things like forcibly occupying people's land and kidnapping people's daughters over the years. There are many vassal kings everywhere who do such dirty things. ”

"But if you want to say that King Ning will rebel, I don't believe it. Yan and Chen slandered their masters. If you are killed by your master, you will be to blame. ”

In this way, a case of rebellion against the vassal king was suppressed by Jiang Bin and Qian Ningsheng. Big things turn into small things, and small things turn into nothing. This also laid the groundwork for the rebellion two years later.

Let's talk about the Southern Jiangxi Governor's Office, Ganzhou.

Wang Shouren was reviewing official documents in his study.

His student and aide He Tingren walked over: "Mr. Wang." The secret agents of the governor's yamen got a piece of news. ”

Wang Shouren asked, "Oh? What's the news? ”

He Tingren replied: "There are 300 remnants of the Jiulian Mountains who have fled to Northern Jiangxi. ”

Wang Shouren nodded: "Send the Jiangxi Governor Yamen to the inspection documents." ”

He Tingren said: "If this investigation document is issued, I am afraid it will be useless. The spy heard that these three hundred remnants of bandits were surrounded by King Ning. became a guest of King Ning's Mansion. ”

Wang Shouren frowned: "King Ning is involved again?" ”

The word "again" shows that King Ning has not done much in the past to snaring bandits.

He Tingren suggested: "The student thinks that Mr. should go to the court. Inform the emperor of King Ning's wolf ambitions. ”

Wang Shouren shook his head: "There is no evidence, so I heard about it, saying that a prince has the intention of rebellion?" Those people that King Ning bought in the capital will drown me with his impeachment. ”

"Then I will be dismissed. My dismissal is small, and the hard-won peace situation in Southern Jiangxi is big. ”

"To do something, you must first determine the purpose. My purpose as governor of Southern Jiangxi is to ensure the safety of the Southern Jiangxi side. As for King Ning. If he does rebel one day, I will not stand idly by. ”

Wang Shouren has already enlightened. When you understand the Tao, you will be able to perceive all the problems of the world. He was not only a philosopher, but also a doer.

He Tingren arched his hand: "Students are taught." ”

Wang Shouren said again: "Although I can't play the impeachment of King Ning. But you can write a letter to remind Changfeng in the capital. ”

Let's talk about the capital.

Chang Feng was discussing with Wang Miaoxin and the rest of Nanzhen Fu Si Paoze.

Wang Miaoxin said: "Master Hou." The rumor you spread in the sixth year of Zhengde is huge! The secret stake on the grassland side sent back the news. The little prince still thinks that the imperial court has obtained tens of thousands of taels of military salaries by confiscating the stolen property of the eunuchs. ”

"The leader of the Asut tribe is ready to lead his men south into the Kou. was sternly reprimanded by the little prince. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "The little prince is acquainted." ”

But Basha said, "But. . . The subordinates felt that the most desired thing for the emperor now was for the Tatars to go south and enter the Kou. Then he would be able to justify the royal expedition. ”

Chang Feng said: "We can't let the emperor take risks. Although the current emperor is not the Emperor Ying, the Ming Dynasty can't withstand the second Tumubao change! ”

That's it. Chang Feng smiled: "Oh yes, in a month, my family Qingyun will marry the second lady of the Dingguo family." All of you have come to my house to drink the wine, and no one is missing. ”

Basha was surprised: "So fast? Isn't it just Nacai? The grandson of the marquis marries the duke's daughter, and he picks up, asks for names, najib, advocates, invites and welcomes in person. Every ceremony should be grand and grand. It's going to take at least half a year. ”

Chang Feng smiled bitterly: "Qingyun's little wild donkey, it was easy to agree to my family yesterday. I'm afraid that he will change his hexagram, so it's better to hurry up. The six rites can be simplified and simplified. It also saves the civil officials from saying that I am ostentatious. ”

Wang Miaoxin smiled: "That's done." When the time comes, the old brothers will all go and ask for a cup of wine. ”

Chang Feng said: "I will make it clear in advance. It's okay to drink wedding wine, don't send congratulatory gifts to my family. Save me from learning the Nanyang of the Eastern Han Dynasty on my wedding day, and hang dead fish on the beams of the house. ”

Chang Feng left Jinyiwei and returned home. As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I happened to meet Chang Ponu getting down from the official sedan chair.

Chang Ponu is already in his thirties. After more than ten years of ups and downs in the sea, he is already an old-fashioned and capable minister.

Chang Feng said: "Don't you live in the household department tonight?" ”

Chang Ponu nodded: "Hmm." Stay at home tonight. ”

The father and son talked as they walked into the house.

Chang Ponu smiled bitterly: "Alas, I am the chief steward of military pay for the emperor, which can be regarded as offending the officials of the various offices in the capital." ”

"The day before yesterday, the emperor issued an edict and ordered the Ministry of Engineering to rush to produce 100 Hongwu iron cannons within 15 days. Let me make money. ”

"But the household department has been tight recently. The emperor said that he would suffer the Beijing officials first. The two months of the Beijing official were suspended, and the silver was handed over to the Ministry of Industry. ”

Naturally, the officials did not dare to make irresponsible remarks about the emperor's will. All scolded me. ”

"They also nicknamed me 'Abusive Servants.'" There is also a smooth mouth, 'Chang Shilang, he works really hard, forcing the officials to go hungry'. ”

Chang Feng comforted him: "Follow what the officials say about you." As long as the upper is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, the lower can satisfy the emperor. ”

"By the way, you said that the emperor issued an edict to make a hundred Hongwu iron cannons within fifteen days? Why is it in such a hurry? There were no large-scale wars in the Ming Dynasty. There was no sign of the Tatars moving south. ”

Chang Ponu said: "I'm also strange." Your Majesty, I think of a play, a play. ”

At this moment, You Jingwu shouted behind Chang Feng: "Father-in-law." ”

Chang Feng turned his head and smiled: "Heh, the sun really came out of the bed, and it is rare for our father and son to get together." ”

You Jingwu is now in charge of one-sixth of the strength of the 12th Regiment Battalion. He often lived in a military camp on the outskirts of Beijing for a month without a home.

You Jingwu said: "Father-in-law, I am here to say goodbye to you." The emperor has just issued an order and ordered me to lead the two battalions of Fenwu and Xianwu to go to Xuanfu for autumn exercises tomorrow. ”

Chang Feng was puzzled: "A few years ago, the emperor transferred the regimental battalion to the border for autumn exercises, all in September. It's only April, why did you get out of it? ”

You Jingwu said: "I don't know. ”

Emperor Zhengde asked people to rush to control the Hongwu iron cannon, and he transferred the regiment and battalion to Xuanfu. Chang Feng keenly sensed the abnormality.

There are quirks!
