Chapter 216.
It’s better if Jin Zhong doesn’t mention it.
At this mention, even Zhu Di was a bit confused.
It is not possible for a living person to have a posthumous title.
Isn’t this a joke?
As for accompanying the temple, it is reasonable to finalize it during his lifetime.
What about memorialization?
Zhu couldn’t help but have a big headache.
Then he angrily turned to Jin Zhong and said, “See what you’ve done?”
Kim Chung: “……”
So then, Zhu Di waved his hand and said, “In this matter, can there be a precedent in the previous dynasty?”
Jin Zhong honestly said, “Your Majesty, precedent …… is not unheard of, such as the time of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, General Li Ling was ordered to strike the Xiong Nu, and the whole army was destroyed and captured. Far away in Chang’an, Emperor Wu of Han thought that he Li Ling had died in battle, so he carried out a posthumous, but not long after, only to realize that Li Ling is actually still alive, so he was furious, and killed his whole family.”
Zhang Anshi: “……”
Chu: “……”
This is obviously not a good example, fortunately Jin Zhong quickly added: “Of course, this matter is different from the matter of Wu Ning Gong after all, the difference is that Li Ling is the general of the defeated army, while Wu Ning Gong has made great achievements. This matter …… is indeed tricky, and a court meeting should be held to discuss the matter.”
Zhu Di was also helpless about this matter, so he said, “I don’t understand the matter of etiquette and law, so you guys can see what you can do.”
Jin Zhong said, “I am the Secretary of the Ministry of War, but I actually don’t know much about it.”
He wasn’t willing to get into this mess.
Zhu then looked at Zhang Anshi, “What are the clues you speak of, again?”
Zhang Anshi said, ”These days, Ji Gang has been actively contacting people and transferring his gold and silver in large quantities. Your Majesty, this man is someone who has smuggled millions of pounds of private salt and has privately plundered countless wealthy households over the years. As far as I know, he has kept quite a few secret guards in addition to the Brocade Guards.”
Zhu Di was a bit surprised when he heard this, “Secret guards?”
Historically, Ji Gang, on the strength of his position as Commander of the Jinyiwei, had taken in a large number of outlaws.
It is also ridiculous to say that he, the commanding officer, bullies precisely honest people, but on the contrary, he harbors the poor and the vicious in a big way.
And the only reason why he harbors these outlaws is because with a wave of his hand, he can get them pardoned and grateful to him.
Not to mention that most of these people, most of them had committed capital offenses, and once they disobeyed Ji Gang’s orders, they were also dead.
Zhu Di’s face became even more furious.
Zhang Anshi then said: “These people are not small, spread in many places, with different identities, some of them are installed in the capital, some …… are installed in the area of Beiping. His many gold and silver, are through these people to transit …… Of course, he wants to cicada shell, counting on these people is still not enough, just a few days ago, he acted are airtight, only these two days, he realized that the minister has died, and his time is no more, so began to be a little messy, acting hastily, which only let me perceived a clue.”
“What clue?”
Zhang Anshi said, “There is a clerk …… who has been running for him on this matter, and then the people under my command discovered the abnormality of this clerk, so they checked his details, only to realize that this clerk actually has no details.”
“No bottom line?” Zhu frowned.
Zhang Anshi said: “How this person into the jinyiwei, even the experience of the Division has no record, as if suddenly popped out. On weekdays, is responsible for the North Zhenfu Division of some official documents to and from the affairs, so …… I will order people to secretly stalk him, but this person is very vigilant, I do not dare to let people stare too tight.”
Zhu asked, “Why don’t you take him down immediately?”
Zhang Anshi said, “The person he approached …… makes me feel very strange, there are too many doubts, not to mention that I am afraid that once I make a move to take him, I will hit the grass and startle the snake, and those outlaws responsible for the transit of the property and goods may abscond immediately. So then ordered Chen Li to arrange, continue to trace one or two.”
“Ji Gang has been taken down.” Zhu Di said thoughtfully, “Won’t these people fall from a sinking ship?”
“As long as the large sums of money and grain are still there, and the Ji family is still there, these people …… have lost the shelter of Ji Gang, and will surely fall their hopes on the person who has approached them, and since Ji Gang has placed all the hopes of survival on that person, these outlaws, how can they give up? Without Ji Gang, they are nothing, and once the old case is overturned, they are also dead.”
“Not to mention, they all these years, relying on Ji Gang’s power, arrogant and accustomed to, killing people, doing nothing, such a person …… how willing to easily give up everything in front of them? So I concluded that this collusion and contact with Ji Gang’s people …… is the key to the problem, at this time Ji Gang is dead or not, but not important.”
Zhu Di grimaced and said angrily, “Never would I have imagined that Ji Gang would go behind my back and do so many things.”
Zhu’s anger was justified.
Ji Gang is his eyes and ears, Zhu Di either cares about the military, or else is the world’s state capitals to wear out all the energy, originally thought that this pair of eyes and ears is their own, even if he is in the palace, can still through the Ji Gang to monitor the world.
But where do I know, Ji Gang directly take this ear, to do his Ji Gang own things, and even all kinds of things, are shocking.
Zhang Anshi added at this time, “Your Majesty, so I thought that the Jin Yiwei …… should be changed.”
“Change?” Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: “I intend to order you to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, how is it?”
Zhu Di’s thinking was that since Ji Gang was unreliable, he would let the more reliable Zhang Anshi come in. In that case, the problem might be solved.
To Zhu Di unexpected, Zhang Anshi is a bitter smile and shook his head, “Your Majesty, I thought …… this is greatly inappropriate.”
So Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with a strange look.
Zhang Anshi said, “Jin Yiwei has been rotten, Ji Gang was promoted in the beginning of the people, none of them are speculative curiosity generation, count on these people …… can have what use? I thought that it should be pushed down and rebuilt.”
Zhang Anshi’s words caused Zhu Di’s expression to become more and more serious as he took his seat and said, “How so?”
Zhang Anshi since has long been prepared, then said: “Jin Yi Wei troops, all standby, let the internal thousand households to go to its conduct a trial, involving corruption and law-breaking things, the take on the take, the lieutenant and绶归獞, temporarily stay, still pay salaries, let them stay. And then, in the lieutenant, recruit a number of people, within the thousand households for training, and then, then fill the vacancies from the former North and South Zhenfu Si, those after the trial, there is no problem with the military ministers, not only can be retained, but also to allow them to increase the level.”
Zhang Anshi paused and added, “Not only that, but with the Brocade Guards alone, I thought it was not proper. In the palace, there should also be a Yamen that specializes in restraining and supervising the Brocade Guards, in order to guard against the appearance of people like Ji Gang.”
Hearing this, Zhu couldn’t help but look at Yiluoha.
Yiluoha shivered in his heart, he actually originally coveted Ji Gang’s power. So many eunuchs in the palace were secretly badmouthing Ji Gang.
In order to let the eunuchs also installed to the brocade guards, for this reason, also lost ha and Ji Gang can be said to be the same fire.
However, since the Zhang Anshi, but also lost Ha will feel that this is not very likely, once Zhang Anshi hand in hand, and then inserted eunuchs into the jinyiwei, it is a direct conflict with Zhang Anshi.
Yizhuoha was counting on a future where he could live out his old age in peace!
Isn’t it adding to one’s risk factor to compete for power with the current Crown Prince’s wife and brother, as well as the royal grandson’s own uncle?
Originally, this heart has long been cold, who expected, Zhang Anshi actually mentioned himself.
Zhu Di gazed at Zhang Anshi at this moment and said, “You continue.”
Zhang Anshi then said: ”Above this Ministry of Justice, there is not a Da Lisi? Jin Yi Wei if the Ministry of Justice, then it must be on top of it, there is a Da Lisi staring, responsible for reviewing the Chin case! The reason why this Ji Gang can be domineering, is because he said one is one, said two is two, no one can restrain. Not to mention the jinyiwei is the son of heaven’s own army, their every move, are the holy will, in the view of the subjects, own imperial power acquiescence.”
After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued, “So I thought that the palace set up an inner court, and then draw some elite jinyi lieutenants for its control. In addition to this, and then the South Zhenfu Division …… will be stripped out.”
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi, puzzled, “Strip it out?”
Zhang Anshi said: “Jin Yi Wei has North and South Zhenfu Division, North Zhenfu Division is responsible for绶归獞浜嬪姟, South Zhenfu Division is responsible for the family law and imperial prisons, these two, both by the Jin Yi Wei Commanding Officer to control, but the Commanding Officer if you have a second thought, then the family law to punish the object, became those who refused to be loyal to the Commanding Officer. Instead of this, it would be better to set up a government office in the Southern Zhenfu Division.”
Zhu Di thought about it and raised his eyebrows, “In that case, wouldn’t it overlap with the inner court in the palace?”
Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: ”It doesn’t overlap, the Nei Ya is responsible for carrying out his majesty’s will and avoiding Ji Gang’s false transmission of the imperial decree, as well as delivering news. The Southern Zhenfu Division, on the other hand, specializes in overseeing the unlawfulness of school lieutenants and the绶归獞, or the thousand households and hundred households. If there are commanders, co-commanders, commanders, commanders, zhenfu, experience, etc. involved in unlawfulness, the South Zhenfu Division can also be responsible for searching for evidence, and reporting the facts.”
Zhu Di heard, he obviously understood Zhang Anshi’s meaning, the power of the Jin Yiwei, divided into three, the palace a share, in addition to this, and then give a share of the South Zhenfu Si, to form a check and balance situation.
In fact …… such a practice, in the history of Ji Gang conspiracy after the incident, Zhu Di began to do. He set up the east factory on top of the jinyiwei, and then after that, it seems to think that the east factory is still not safe, so he added a west factory.
By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, an inner factory was added on top of the East and West factories.
The root cause, in fact, is still the problem of the Jinyiwei having too much power.
Zhang Anshi is merely bringing these forward.
Zhu Di said, “This is an idea you’ve been thinking of for a long time, isn’t it?”
Zhang Anshi smiled awkwardly, before saying: “These days, the more I check this Ji Gang, I feel more alarmed, this person is bold and arrogant to such a point, because of the Jinyiwei power. So I was thinking, who sat on this Ji Gang’s position, time is long, I am afraid to be rampant. If we don’t get to the root of this problem, even if there isn’t a Ji Gang, I’m afraid there will still be Jin Gangs and the like.”
Kim Chung: “……”
But Jin Zhong obviously happy with this, he has long been looking at Ji Gang is not good, but now think, Ji Gang was only Zhu Di’s soldiers, how cautious, careful, but in just a few years, has become such a man of God’s indignation.
On second thought, isn’t it exactly because of what Zhang Anshi said like this?
Zhu Di obviously recognized Zhang Anshi’s point of view, and even comfortably said, “What Secretary Zhang said is very much in my heart.”
Zhang Anshi said, “However, I thought, although the South Township Division is divested, but if it is only responsible for the supervision of the matter, I am afraid that it may not be able to restrain the North Township Division.”
Zhu Di said, “What’s your idea again?”
“How about, letting the Southern Zhenfu Division take charge of the Jinyiwei Official School Academy?”
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.
Zhang Anshi said: “Many Jin Yi Wei, most of the recruitment is not after the Lord minister, or ordinary idle people, the pro army is so powerful, so there are people desperate to camp, into the pro army, so that they can show off their power.”
Zhang Anshi paused, then said, “But the recruitment of lieutenants, traditionally there is no standard, which gives many thousand households, hundred households, and even commanders and Tongzhi, Commander of the operation of the space, they will be a large number of family members and relatives stuffed into the guards, so that these people, not only the ability to be deficient, and also fly camping, collusion with each other.”
“Today’s Jin Yiwei situation, are because of this personnel confusion, so …… set up the reason for the official school academy, is to eliminate such shortcomings. Jin Yiwei want to recruit people, will be responsible for recruiting this side of the South Zhenfu Division, measured its basic literacy, as well as physical strength, and so qualified, only after enrollment, after learning for one year, and then by the South Zhenfu Division assigned to the various thousands of households appointed.”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was instantly energized, this is indeed time-consuming and a bit laborious, but how could Zhu Di not know that once this happens, it means that it will be very difficult for these people who have been admitted to the Jin Yi Wei by their own ability to truly become the house slaves of a certain military official.
He mused, “And what about the original lieutenants?”
“Very simple.” Zhang Anshi said, “Set an iron law, all the lieutenants, want to be promoted, unless they have made great achievements, if they do not go through the official school academy, they will almost not be promoted, the original ones, who are willing to receive salaries and stay in the pro-army, naturally, they will be allowed to do so. Of course, they can also enroll in the official school academy, and because they are from the guards, they can be given a proper relaxation in the standard, which is also regarded as His Majesty’s grace and honor to them.”
Zhu Di nodded and added, “What is studied in the official school academy?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Literacy, arithmetic, combat, horsemanship, firearms, scouting, etc.”
Zhu Di looked at Jin Zhong, “What does Secretary Jin think?”
“If this is the case, then those who enter the pro-army will all be truly virtuous, and I think this policy is very proper.”
Zhang Anshi said: “and then, after all the official school, into the pro military to the lieutenant, the other list of pro military registration, all the list of pro military registration of the people, the north township division shall not be arbitrarily abolished, but all to be abolished, need to be by the internal Yamen as well as the south of the township division of the joint verification, and then reported to his majesty, by his majesty hook decision, can be approved.”
“This can greatly protect their status, even if they are in the guard, for the superior officer is not allowed, but also in the guard can still serve. Commanding officer in the guards, co-commander and other officials, lost the power to abolish, even if they want to do unlawful things, I’m afraid that the lieutenants who are included in the pro-military register may not be willing to take the risk with them, and would rather not be tolerated by their superiors, or else the benefits won’t be obtained, and they may also bring their own hidden dangers.”
Zhu Di fixed his mind, then said: “Both so, according to do it. Just this official school academy, I’m afraid the cost is quite a lot.”
“This expense is one thing, and the second is that I thought that the Jinyiwei’s own troops, it’s time to raise some pay, at least to make their lives decent.”
Zhu Di smiled, actually very generous, said: “This, the internal money to come out is, I do not lack this silver, this South Zhenfu Division …… ”
Zhu Di paused, then said: “then hand you to dispose of it, Edict you for the jinyiwei commanding envoy co-conspirator, section of the South Zhenfu Division, there is that within a thousand households Chen Li …… make him commanding envoy commander, auxiliary to the South Zhenfu Division of the matter. South Zhenfu Division under the Imperial Prison, the official school academy, within the thousand households, set up three thousand households, respectively, management. As for the jinyiwei commanding officer candidate, I originally wanted to let Zhang Qing to take over, but now think, but in addition need to consider. Inside the Yamen this side ……”
Speaking of this on the top, Zhu Di will look to the also lost ha: “You proposed a candidate, this Yamen will be called ……”
Zhang Anshi boldly interjected, “Why don’t we call it the Eastern Seizure Factory?”
Zhu smiled and looked to Yiluoha, “Do you hear me?”
The heart of Yilungha had long been happy.
This is simply a result that everyone is happy with.
Jin Zhong did as he wished and curbed the northern townships.
Don’t look at Zhang Anshi only got a South Township Division, but in fact …… brocade guards which specialize in doing dirty work, Zhang Anshi is too lazy to jump in it. But the South Township Division, obviously not the same, relying on the school, can be divided away from the jinyiwei part of the personnel rights, within the thousand households and get the right to supervise, the imperial prison and get the right to review the criminal prison.
Equivalent to the authority of the Jin Yiwei, divided into two, do the dirty work, Zhang Anshi does not dip, but the benefits are not a drop.
As for the co-conspirator, it is also considered to be the number two person in the Jinyiwei. Of course, there are two co-conspirators in the Jinyiwei, both of them are commanding officers, but the weight of Zhang Anshi, the co-conspirator, is not comparable to other people, plus another Chen Li as the Commander of the Commanding Officer to assist, and then set up three thousand households under the head.
When the average person comes across such a good thing, it’s simply impossible to say that they don’t invite someone to a banquet.
As for the Yishakha, the eunuchs of the Great Household, they also followed and got a share of the spoils.
Of course, the reason why Zhang Anshi is willing to take it out and share it, because anyway, this Jin Yiwei is not his family, the group to eat, I Zhang Anshi does not hurt.
What’s more, the participation of eunuchs in the pro-army was actually just a matter of time, even if Zhang Anshi didn’t bring it up today, ten or twenty years later, there would definitely be an East Chamber.
Zhang Anshi at this time is also just to speed up this historical process, at the same time to also lose a favor to sell, in addition to …… actually also borrowed the South Township Division, divided away from the East Chamber of Commerce a lot of power.
Three birds with one stone, perfect!
Zhu Di of course more satisfied, Zhang Anshi thought of it very thoughtful, and according to this conception, even if a newly appointed commander of the Jin Yiwei, under letting it carry out the palace’s will, it can be used with confidence.
So Zhu Di with a good mood: “those three thousand household candidates, you reported to me here, I this side to give you the decree, the official school do not be afraid to break the bank, the recruitment of things, but also to draw up a statute to send me here.”
He commanded.
Zhang Anshi hastily answered, seeing that it was getting late, and he was worried about his crown prince brother-in-law, so he hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, I …… have to take my leave, I have to go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and A Sister.”
Zhu Di waved his hand and said, “Go on, go on, all of you retire.”
Zhang Anshi and Jin Zhong then went out of the hall together.
Just after walking out, Jin Zhong kept taking long breaths.
Jin Zhong’s sigh was so obvious that Zhang Anshi was embarrassed even if he wanted to pretend he didn’t know, so he said, “Why is Lord Jin sighing?”
Jin Zhong glared at him fiercely and said angrily, “You have the nerve to come and ask Lao Fu?”
Zhang Anshi laughed dryly, “This …… this ……”
Jin Zhong coldly grunted, “Why are you dragging old man down?”
Zhang Anshi said seriously, “This is because ……”
Said here, Zhang Anshi scratched his head, only then said: “It is not because Jin Gong is upright, always to things not to people, even if someone offends you, Jin Gong will not hostage private revenge, I admire Jin Gong …… and at that time the matter of the urgent well, had to… …had to ……”
Kim Chung: “……”
You’re more honest ……
This was Zhang Anshi’s reply.
This made Jin Zhong a bit skeptical of life, was this guy Zhang Anshi praising him or scolding him?
“Heh ………” Jin Zhong sneered, “You are on good terms with that bald ass, yet you have come to harm me.”
Zhang Anshi said: ”Lord Jin, I am innocent, I have a clean relationship with Master Yao, in my mind, Lord Jin is the most worthy person to befriend. In my mind, Mr. Jin is the most worthy person to befriend. Moreover, that Master Yao is vindictive, how dare I mess with him? If I provoke him, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well at night!”
All Jin Zhong had left to do was blow his beard and eyes out.
But he was angry for a while, then murmured, “You this kid is not bad, take credit but not proud, have a clear understanding, brocade guards this matter …… you do it right.”
He paused and added, “Everyone fears Ji Gang, but …… everyone wants to be Ji Gang. And once you become a commanding officer like Ji Gang, in the end, everyone may become Ji Gang. Only you, always still count on the heart of reason, of course, the existence of reason is not enough, but also have the rules and regulations, refused to Ji Gang’s temptation is not difficult, difficult to difficult to take advantage of the opportunity to put forward a complete set of statutes out. You this kid …… children can teach.”
Although the heart is resentful, but Zhang Anshi really said the right thing, Jin Zhong this person, not to things, although harboring hatred, but have to say, in the matter of the Jin Yiwei, Zhang Anshi is full of praise.
Zhang Anshi said, “I am different from Ji Gang, what Ji Gang seeks is power and position, but I am a relative of the state, and what I seek is long-lasting peace and stability, and a long life for the state, so whatever is good for the world, I am willing to do it with all my heart.”
“To have this kind of insight is already rare.” Jin Zhong kept nodding his head, very pleased, “There are many people in the world, in fact, just like you, aren’t they also imperial relatives? But they are short-sighted, as usual, there is no difference with Ji Gang. You this kid, not like this age should have the appearance, well, you and I this goodbye ……”
As he was talking, he saw a eunuch panicking and running wildly towards the hall where Zhu Di was.
A few moments later, Zhang Anshi just walked to the Jinshui Bridge, and then saw Zhu Di’s footsteps hurriedly leading the people traveling, and the back of the carriage whistled and trailed behind Zhu Di.
Zhang Anshi turned back and said busily, “Your Majesty ……”
Zhu Di, however, grabbed Zhang Anshi’s wrist and said with a sullen face, “The Crown Prince is not going to make it.”
At these words, Zhang Anshi immediately wanted to be like a soul.
Zhu Di couldn’t care less about Zhang Anshi’s reaction at this time, and angrily turned back to the eunuchs behind him and said, “Don’t bring this carriage here, fetch the horse, fetch the horse for me immediately.”
Said, no longer care about the people behind, anxious to bring Zhang Anshi to the noon gate.
Finally, a eunuch hastily prepared a few horses.
Zhu said nothing and grimly rolled over onto his back.
And then, leading Zhang Anshi towards the East Palace, he sped off.
Once into the East Palace, but see this left and right Spring Square is very cold, apparently, the East Palace of the Zuojun, have gone to the inner palace.
Sure enough, when he entered the inner palace, Zhu Di saw King Zhao Zhu Gao Suo talking to someone in a low voice outside the bedchamber.
As soon as Zhu Gao Suo saw Zhu Di coming, he immediately stepped forward quickly and said, “Father ……”
Zhu Di said angrily, “Where is the Crown Prince?”
Zhu Gao Suire then cried, “Imperial brother …… imperial brother vomited blood a bucket, afraid that it is not, fortunately, the children’s minister …… invited Zhou Shenxian …… which barely hangs on to A breath.”
Zhang Anshi’s brain buzzed when he heard the spitting of blood a bucket.
Shouldn’t a man be dead by now if he vomits a bucket of blood?
Zhu Di winced as he looked at Zhu Gao Suo incredulously.
Zhu Gao Suo then howled, “Father, father, quickly go and meet imperial brother, imperial brother he …… he ……”
Said the man, tears falling like rain, pounding his chest.
Zhu Di didn’t say anything more and went straight into the hall.
In this hall, only to see Zhu Gaoqi is lying on top of the bed couch, the side of the bed couch there is an old man in cloth, at this time prepared a bowl of things, was about to feed Zhu Gaoqi.
Crown Princess Zhang was on the sidelines and had already been crying.
Zhu Zhanji, on the other hand, sat on his knees in a corner, at this time no one cares about him, but also stagnant so that he did not say a word, and his eyes have lost their former glamor.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Anshi was most agitated, first rushing forward with an arrow, pushing the old man away and exclaiming, “What is this thing.”
Surprised, the old man stumbled and a bowl of talismanic water splashed out.
Seeing Zhang Anshi come, from the couch, a hand softly grasped Zhang Anshi’s wrist, “Anshi, you’re finally still alive ……cough……cough… …Just now, I heard that you are unhurt……cough……”
Zhang Anshi lowered his head and saw a pale-faced Zhu Gaoqi.
At this moment, Zhang Anshi winced as he clenched his teeth and hurriedly held Zhu Gaoqi with his backhand.
Zhu Di, on the other hand, approached the couch step by step, he looked incredulously at Zhu Gaoqi on the couch, took a deep breath, but was speechless for a moment.
“Greetings, Your Majesty. ……”
Everyone around them fell to the ground and bowed.
Out of fear of Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoqi also tried to barely hold on.
It s a pity …… that he seems to have used a lot of energy, and his body is still motionless.
Zhu Di, on the other hand, turned back, coldly looked at the imperial physician in this hall, and said in a deep voice, “How did it become like this?”
The one who came was Imperial Doctor Xu, who hurriedly bowed down and said, “Your Majesty, what the Crown Prince is suffering from is an acute illness, which is difficult for me …… to recognize for a while, but the doctor that His Highness, the King of Zhao, has invited, however, said that there is a way to save him …… ”
As soon as those words came out, everyone’s eyes, once again, landed on that dry and thin old man who had been pushed away by Zhang Anshi.
