Chapter 452: The Storm Will Rise
Coming out of the emperor's place, Zhu Jinghong walked outside the palace, and on the way he was thinking about how to act more like him next.
As soon as he walked out of the Donghua Gate, he saw several officers gathering in the corner of the palace wall to chat, and there were many indignant words and sighs.
It can be seen from the attire of these people that they are the general banner of the small banner of the Imperial City Yiwei Division, and they belong to relatively low-level grassroots officers.
"What's going on?" Zhu Jinghong stepped forward and asked curiously.
Normally, the officers and soldiers of the Yiwei Division on lower duty will return to the station and will not stay within the palace walls to "obstruct the eyes".
Everyone turned around and found that it was Zhu Jinghong who came, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down to pay respects.
"See the prince!"
"Get up!"
After everyone got up, Zhu Jinghong asked again: "Listening to your anger and anger, what's the matter?" β
During the questioning, Zhu Jinghong's eyes looked at a burly man in the middle, and it could be seen from the clothing and ornaments that this person was the chief banner of the Yi Wei Division.
Such a mighty man, but at this time, there was a little grievance on his face, and Zhu Jinghong couldn't do it without noticing.
Hearing the questioning, everyone just looked at each other, but no one came out to explain.
"Lord Wang, it's all trivial!" The other flag officer replied cautiously.
But when he opened his mouth, he was even more cover-up, which made Zhu Jinghong even more curious.
"What the hell is a trifle?"
Although he didn't know the inside story, he could guess that this mighty man was in trouble.
is the same as Zhu Jingyuan's showing righteousness and squandering money to the outside world, Zhu Jinghong also has the intention of eliminating disasters and solving problems, in order to buy people's hearts, but he is mainly oriented to the army.
Especially for these junior officers, it is very beneficial to win their favor, at least in the case of neutrality.
Under Zhu Jinghong's questioning, the general banner who answered just now could only reply: "Back to the prince, it is Xu Zongqi's family that has encountered some trouble!" β
"When you encounter a problem, just say it and solve it, how can a big man just complain and be a child!" Zhu Jinghong looked at the general banner surnamed Xu.
"The prince's lesson is that this is a trivial matter in the family, and he doesn't dare to pollute the prince's ears!" Mr. Xu, surnamed Xu, opened his mouth to reply.
"Mother-in-law...... What the hell is going on? β
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong insisted on listening, this general flag surnamed Xu can only explain the situation.
It turned out that this was the eldest son of Xin'anwei Xu, and the one who married the Zhang family was his younger brother.
Cui Xiuqing came to Baochai for this matter, and after Baochai ordered it, the Li family stopped coercing, but in order to save face, he did not explicitly say that he would not marry, thinking that the matter would be dealt with coldly and then it would not be resolved.
However, the Zhang family asked people to find the Jia family, and then the Yun Tongzhi that the Jia family looked for tested the pressure on the Xu family to make them resign, and moved out of the Rongguo Mansion to intimidate the Xu family.
Rongguo Mansion is nothing here in Zhu Jinghong, but the Jia family has now produced a crown princess, which is undoubtedly a behemoth to the people below.
Under such oppression and coercion, the Xu family could only retire even if they were unwilling.
Then, as in the original book, the girl of the Zhang family thought that it was the Li family's troublemaker, and chose to commit suicide again for the sake of Ming Xinzhi.
Fortunately, the next person came in time to save the girl of the Zhang family who hanged herself.
However, the second son of the Xu family, who is also a very affectionate person, went to the Yun family to theorize after learning about it, and was directly seriously injured.
Today, the news reached the boss of the Xu family, and he was furious when he learned the situation, but he also knew that he couldn't do the Yun family, and he couldn't provoke the people standing behind the Yun family.
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong finally understood why these people were reluctant to say that the matter also involved the Jia family, and the Jia family had a close relationship with the prince.
"It's just a little thing, what's the big deal...... Since the Yun family has beaten someone, why don't they apologize! β
"And your brother's marriage, since both families are willing, and they have both paid the dowry, the marriage should be completed as soon as possible!"
Zhu Jinghong said these words naturally, which surprised everyone at the scene.
Zhu Jinghong is the younger brother of the crown prince, he does not favor the Yun family in this matter, and in the eyes of everyone, he is upright enough.
But now, this master is really impartial, and he has the intention of supporting the Xu family, how can everyone present not be surprised.
"New Anwei...... I remember that the new security commander's surname was Zhang, right? Zhu Jinghong looked at the boss of the Xu family.
At this time, a small flag officer next to him replied: "Exactly...... The eldest son of the current commander of the new security guard is Zhang Lin and Zhang Teamzheng, the dragon guard! β
When they spoke just now, they were not only complaining about the Xu family, but also thinking of a way for them.
One of them was that they wanted to go through the path of Commander Zhang, so they mentioned Zhang Lin.
"Go to someone, call Zhang Lin to me!"
"Yes!" The little flag officer who had just answered immediately responded.
Donghua Gate was not far from the Dragon Guard, and it happened that Zhang Lin was not on duty at this time, so he rushed over a few minutes later.
"Thirteenth Master, what do you command?" Zhang Lin didn't know what to do.
Zhu Jinghong asked: "What happened to Xin'anwei recently, do you know?" β
"This ...... I haven't been back for a long time, so I don't know! Zhang Lin replied.
Although his father is the commander of the new security guard, he was sent to be the commander of the Beijing camp, and now he should be leading the troops to train.
"Tell him about the situation!" Zhu Jinghong looked at the boss of the Xu family.
This person repeated what he had just said, and also let Zhang Lin know what was going on.
"It's all in a health center, and you still have to value harmony, the Yun family is really too much, let me tell your father...... Let him take care of this matter! β
In fact, Zhang Lin didn't want to care about these idle things, but since it was Zhu Jinghong who told him, he could only reply: "Yes!" β
Zhu Jinghong continued: "If the Yun family is not convinced, or if someone moves out, you will say that this is what I mean, if they are not convinced, let them come to me!" β
These words can be described as the finishing touch, which highlights his personality height of Zhu Jinghong to the extreme.
"The minister understands!"
"This matter will be done as soon as possible, you can get busy if it's okay!" Zhu Jinghong waved his hand.
"The minister will send someone to bring a message to my father!" Zhang Lin gave a guarantee.
"Hmm!"
After Zhang Lin left, Zhu Jinghong looked at the boss of the Xu family on the side and said, "How...... That's not the end of it! β
"Thank you, Thirteenth Master!"
In a few words, the family's difficulties were solved, and the boss of the Xu family was grateful to Zhu Jinghong.
Next, Zhu Jinghong encouraged him a few more words, and then left with his hands behind his back.
This boss of the Xu family is quite straightforward, and he has the important task of guarding the Waidonghua Gate, so he may be able to use it in the future...... Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.
After he left, the discussion of everyone at the scene did not stop, and they praised Zhu Jinghong for his wisdom and uprightness.
In the past, they heard that he was like this, but now the legend is close to reality, which has a great impact on them.
And this matter, under their spread, will at least spread in the Imperial City Yiwei Division, giving Zhu Jinghong another wave of prestige.
Looking at the back of the benefactor leaving, the boss of the Xu family secretly swore in his heart that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely repay the kindness of the thirteenth master.
And Zhang Lin, who returned to the palace, immediately went to his father's residence to deliver a letter and conveyed Zhu Jinghong's meaning to him.
The official of the Zhang family is the commander of the new Anwei, but he can also serve as the commander of the real power of the Beijing camp, and there is basically no problem in suppressing the Yun family.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
A few days passed, and Zhu Jinghong went to the palace every day, annoying the queen and helpless, so he finally avoided it.
And every time he enters the palace, Zhu Jinghong's language and mental state have been adjusted and changed in stages.
To sum it up, he is becoming more and more lost and hopeless, which even the crown prince and King Rui can see.
Of course, Zhu Jinghong's personal changes basically have no impact on the DPRK situation.
At present, there are two biggest hot spots in the imperial court, one in the light and one in the dark.
In the shadows is the battle between the crown prince and King Rui, and the two sides have a private tandem secret meeting to discuss, and the court officials know a little about it.
The only thing that makes everyone anxious is that they don't know when this round of fighting between the two sides will break out, and at what point it will break out.
This kind of political struggle at the top will depose many officials in each round, and even if they are not involved in the matter, they may be affected and suffered.
The one that is explained is the large-scale personnel adjustment of the land of Jinling presided over by Zhao Yushan.
Although the plan has been passed, there are still problems in its implementation, and many of the appointed officials have been impeached in one way or another.
Some of them are guilty of wanting to add crimes, while others are conclusive evidence, which makes the high-ranking officials of Zhao Yushan's faction very embarrassed.
In Zhao's house, after discussing with several colleagues, everyone said goodbye and left, only his protΓ©gΓ© Mei Jingwen stayed.
"Sir, the student has something to say!" Mei Jingwen solemnly spoke.
Getting up and walking to the window, Zhao Yushan looked at the sunset outside, and said tiredly: "You don't want to go to Jinling?" β
Mei Jingwen was the first in the second year of orthodoxy, and was elected as the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy according to the rules, and stayed in the hospital for review after two years of disbandment.
Later, he successively served as a reviewer and editor of the Hanlin Academy, and now it is a six-product revision, and such a noble resume can be called a model for entering the cabinet.
Therefore, Mei Jingwen was reluctant to leave the Hanlin Academy and get involved in the mess in Jinling.
Zhao Yushan is very clear about his students' thoughts, so he asks this question.
"The students are not talented enough to learn, and they still need to study more in the Hanlin Academy, and they are really frightened to be entrusted with such an important task this time!" Mei Jingwen said solemnly.
Zhao Yushan smiled indifferently, then saw him turn around, and said slowly: "I let you go to Jinling, there are three main considerations!" β
"First, leaving for meritorious service is the fastest, if you do a good job in Jinling, you will naturally be indispensable, at least it will not be worse than staying in Hanlin Academy!"
"Second, you are my student, whether you want to or not, we will both be prosperous and lossy, if the Jinling incident fails, if they push me down, you will not have a way out if you stay in the Hanlin Academy!"
"Third, the prince and the king of Rui, the fight will become more and more intense, and Qingliu officials like you will be affected, and then the fortune and misfortune will be unpredictable, and this trip to Jinling can just avoid these!"
Zhao Yushan's three considerations, each of which is to put himself in the shoes of the students, so Mei Jingwen was speechless at this time.
Coming to the student, Zhao Yushan patted him on the shoulder and said slowly: "If you insist on staying in the Hanlin Academy, I will not force you!" β
With that, Zhao Yushan returned to his position and sat quietly waiting for Mei Jingwen's decision.
After a few breaths, I saw Mei Jingwen turn to face the teacher and said slowly, "Sir, the student is willing to go to Jinling!" β
Nodding, Zhao Yushan said in a deep voice: "According to the imperial history of the capital, the duty is to supervise the civil and military officials of Jinling, you must take good care of the officials of the prefectures and counties, and let them honestly implement the national policy of the imperial court!" β
The Jinling Patrol is the post of the fifth grade, which is two grades higher than Mei Jingwen's sixth grade, and the promotion of the vast majority of officials beyond the level can be expected.
"Students understand!"
Zhao Yushan continued: "Zheng Xianlin, the governor of Jinling, according to the judges He Gujin and Jia Hua, you can trust and rely on them, but you also have to guard against them!" β
Next, Zhao Yushan talked a lot to Mei Jingwen, which was the last lesson for the students before leaving.
And just as Zhao Yushan expected, the prince and the king of Rui were already gearing up to fight, and sporadic impeachment recitals had already flown into the palace.
The battle between the two sons, Zhu Xianming was like watching the fire, and he did not take the initiative to intervene this time.
As long as it doesn't affect the balance of the court, he thinks that this kind of fight is not a bad thing, and he can let the two of them play politics through practical operations.
Of course, judging from the current situation, the prince is indeed very poor in this regard, and the sixth child can only be said to be slightly better.
In the past, Zhu Xianming had a high evaluation of the sixth child, but his speculative attitude towards the new policy of the imperial court, as well as his short-sightedness and self-pretentious cleverness in major matters, greatly lowered Zhu Xianming's evaluation of him.
Putting aside a stack of meaningless pieces, Zhu Xianming asked Cheng Ying beside him: "The old thirteen is still that decadent?" β
Cheng Ying replied cautiously: "Listening to the people from Dongchang, the thirteenth master is indeed ...... has been a lot negative, drank a lot of alcohol in the past two days, and repeatedly complained about self-defeat! β
Hearing this, Zhu Xianming couldn't help sighing, he was very worried about his little son.
But if you want to make this kid happy, you have to talk to the queen about it, and Zhu Xianming naturally won't look for it.
"Hmm...... When you go to Xiangwang's Mansion, you will say...... Never mind! β
The child has a temper, Zhu Xianming thought about it and didn't care about it, so as not to be entangled by the old thirteen again.
The emperor didn't want to care, the crown prince and King Rui didn't have time to care, and the wives of these two people were not idle.
The two invited Baochai as guests, but they were just enlightening and consoling, and it was impossible for them to really intervene in this matter.
And the relevant inside information was also transmitted to the inner house of Rongguo Mansion through Mrs. Wang, who was accompanying guests in the East Palace.
In Jia's mother's courtyard, after learning about the affairs of Xiangwang's mansion, Jia's mother said slowly: "His Royal Highness Xiangwang wants to go to the northwest, that place is now dangerous, and it is normal for the queen to not allow it!" β
"Exactly!" Mrs. Wang replied.
As the two of them continued to chat, Miaoyu, who was sitting on the sidelines, listened attentively while thinking about how to use it.
A few days ago, she entered Jia's Mansion, and in the process of lecturing, she won the favor of Mrs. Jia, and now she can enter and leave Rongguo's Mansion freely.
Today, after listening to the East Palace and Xiangwang Mansion, she felt that this trip was full of gains, and then she just had to wait for the opportunity to approach the East Palace.
But before "colluding" with the East Palace, she planned to go to the Xiangwang Mansion first to achieve the purpose of approaching the East Palace from another angle.
Although she was invited, Miaoyu would not take the initiative to go to Xiangwang's Mansion, but planned to go with the people of Rongguo Mansion.
Judging from the rumors she heard in the mansion, the wives and ladies of Rongguo Mansion will go to Xiangwang's Mansion to visit the princess in the past few days, and she will not be dazzling when she goes with her.
Miaoyu is fully sure that with her knowledge, she can conquer the princess Baochai.
Then through Princess Xiang, open up the road to the East Palace, which is a better choice for Miaoyu.
Yes, whether it is approaching the Jia family or the Xiangwang Mansion, it is Miaoyu's means to contact the East Palace, and her purpose has always been to get close to the East Palace.
This is the task that the general teacher taught her, and as for the task after approaching the East Palace, Miaoyu is not clear so far.
But no matter what kind of task it is, she will follow her master's will and risk her life to do it well.
