Chapter 163 – Zhang Anshi Captures the Rebel Party with Wisdom

The next day.

Zhang Anshi went towards the Imperial Prison and checked the dossier.

That the people of the Brocade Guards, on the contrary, did not dare to make things difficult for this Marquis of Annan, and even provided all the facilities.

After transcribing a dossier, Zhang Anshi then returned to Qixia.

The Jinyiwei are traditionally known for their fierce reputation.

And they’ve never been friendly to the Eastern Palace either.

On the one hand, it was the fact that the Jinyiwei was directly under the Royal Family, so perhaps there was a reason to avoid suspicion.

On the other hand, I am only afraid that Ji Gang is suspected of supporting Han Wang.

It’s just that with this kind of support, he’s only nodding his head and not getting too involved.

But it also shows how cunning Ji Gang is as a person.

Zhang Anshi did not believe that Ji Gang supported Zhu Gaoxu simply because he was on good terms with Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu such a big smart, in fact, like his brother-in-law, to some extent, are Xie Jin, Ji Gang such ambitious people are just a sacrifice.

Their so-called support is nothing more than an attempt to bet on a treasure, and when they have ascended to the throne, they will be transformed into ministers of merit from the dragon.

The direction of Ji Gang’s thinking is different from that of Xie Jin, who believes that the Prince is in the right name in terms of etiquette and law, and has the greatest chance of succeeding the great lineage, and that betting on him will have a very high chance of success.

While Ji Gang, such a jinyiwei, knew that on the one hand, the Crown Prince would not like people like him; on the other hand, he also thought that Zhu Gaoxu’s prestige in the army was high, while he was in control of the jinyiwei, which had three parts, one part was the Dahan generals who were in control of the palace forbidden guards, one part was the Northern Zhenfu Si which was responsible for the assassination, and one part was the Southern Zhenfu Si, which was responsible for the imperial prisons.

I am afraid that Ji Gang’s idea is that once Zhu Di’s body has a problem, then it can be and Zhu Gaoxu inside and outside, by virtue of Zhu Gaoxu’s prestige, control of the forbidden army, and the Dahan general control of the palace, the North Zhenfu Si is responsible for the assassination, and finally come to a change of seizing the door.

It could be said that in Zhang Anshi’s mind, Zhu Gaoxu didn’t count for much, but Ji Gang was the one who might actually pose a threat to that brother-in-law of his.

And this person has a very deep heart, always hidden behind the scenes, if it is not because of the history of Zhu Di lived for more than twenty years, and before his family s brother in law ascended to the throne, he cleared the obstacles for his brother in law, I am afraid that …… Ji Zang this person may still be bad.

The only thing Zhang Anshi wants to do in the face of such a person …… is to shake his trust in front of Zhu Di.

He had to find the so-called chaotic party before Ji Gang did.

Zhang Anshi read a few of the dossiers, and then confidently wrote down a few notes, and then he got Zhu Jin and handed him the notes, “Account for it, I’m going to check these things, and I’m going to hurry.”

Zhu Jin did not dare to be slow, and after getting the note, he hurriedly went to work.

With that, Zhang Anshi went to the East Palace, and when it was dark and Zhu Gaoqi beat his way back to the palace from the Ministry of Households, Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Brother-in-law, have you heard about the chaotic party?”

Zhu Gaoqi froze, then shook his head.

Zhang Anshi then said, “Brother-in-law is the crown prince, such an important matter, but did not know, hey, it seems that someone is hiding it from brother-in-law.”

Zhu Gaoqi sat down, sipped his tea with an unchanged expression, and said tersely, “This Palace is the Crown Prince, and may not need to know everything.”

Zhang Anshi thought for a moment and said, “That being said, I’m just worried that when the time comes to find out something, I’ll end up implicating my brother-in-law.”

Zhu Gaoqi said nonchalantly, “Who dares to do this?”

Zhang Anshi seriously said, “This is not easy to say, some people …… are not loved by their brother-in-law, if they know that they will not be liked by their brother-in-law in the future, it is inevitable that the dog will jump over the wall, but wherever there is an opportunity, it will pounce and take a bite.”

Zhu Gaoqi is not think look, smiled and said: “You ah, is too much worry. Naturally, the Palace also knows that you are distressed Palace, just some things, if everything is worry, that can not. The Palace is also worried about you, so big, not married, Wei Guo Gong are anxious.”

Zhang Anshi said resentfully, “I will develop for two more years.”

Development ……

Zhu Gaoqi slightly stunned, roughly understand the meaning: “strange, you actually do not close to the female color …… This is also very good.”

Zhang Anshi was anxious: “Brother-in-law, you can’t say that, in our Zhang family, the maid that Sister chose for me was old and ugly, she could have been my mother. In a place like the Green House, I’m afraid of harming flowers and willows, so it’s not easy for me.”

Zhu Gaoqi smiled faintly, with a look of understanding, and whispered, “When you marry the Xu family’s girl and pass the door ……”

When the words came to him, he lowered his voice even more, “I’ll make the decision to grant you some good maidservants.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

That’s not much to hear, actually.

The point is that one’s brother-in-law talks to one’s self about this ……

Granted, that’s not much in this day and age.

But Zhang Anshi always felt strange, so he said, “Brother-in-law, my body is not good, don’t get close to women, okay?”

Zhu Gaoqi coughed, “Don’t be ridiculous!”

Zhang Anshi thought in his heart, I still do not know you ……

Zhang Anshi sighed and said, “Ai, it’s too difficult for me, I have to worry about the chaotic party on this side, and I have to worry about my brother-in-law on the other side, and I’m also worried about my own nephew.”

Zhu Gaoqi sipped his tea again, before saying, “This chaotic party thing is really not a small matter. Just father let this Ji Gang to dispose of, if you are overstepping your authority, I am afraid that he is dissatisfied in his heart, this person …… is not easy to deal with, you have to be careful.”

Zhang Anshi said, ”Just because this person is not easy to deal with, that’s why I’m worried. That’s why we must get ahead of him! Just wait, in less than ten days, I’ll have an eyebrow on my side, and I have a lot of capable people around me.”

Zhu Gaoqi just laughed bitterly and kept shaking his head, “Hey …… you really ……”

Zhang Anshi is a grand farewell to go back.

Along the way, thinking that Zhu Gaoqi was not alert to this, Zhang Anshi was a little worried in his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu’s early defeat, completely withdrew from the competition for the throne, then Ji Gang must now be uneasy, this time Ji Gang, is extremely dangerous.

For any powerful minister, especially Ji Gang such a person, since it has been confirmed that the crown prince will never trust himself, but also will certainly think of arranging a good back road for himself, this person is a poisonous snake, if you are not careful, you will be bitten.

…………

Within a few days.

The entire capital city was on edge.

The Jinyiwei’s hearty riders are out in all directions.

Immediately afterward, there was a mass descent of the edict.

These people have readers, merchants and businessmen, and one by one there are no surprises …… almost all of them have not come out.

Just between the people in disbelief, but a copy of the report, sent to Zhu Di’s desk.

Zhu Di looked at the report, could not help but burst into a rage: “So many people …… related to these chaotic parties?”

Yiluoha only stood hooked up, glancing at the sangha on the imperial case without uttering a word.

“This is something that I don’t know until I look into it, and this time, I realize that it’s not trivial.” Zhu Di’s face became more and more furious: “Take a look.”

“Yes.” Yiluoha cautiously stepped forward, took the zhengshi, and only glanced at it.

The vast majority of the so-called chaotic party …… here if you say guilty, but also really more or less a little, some of them have cursed the emperor in the back, but also to pursue the memory of the North Yuan.

There are even a lot of …… are writing books that implicate the Northern Yuan and have some praise.

Also lost Ha said, “Your Majesty …… these people …… slave servant thought ……”

“You say it.” Zhu said indifferently.

Yilungha said, “These people’s sins are either big or small, but to really talk about it, if they are said to be ill-intentioned chaotic parties, the slave girl thinks that it is a bit too much.”

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you mean …… Ji Gang planted stolen goods?”

“The slave girl doesn’t dare to say.” Yiluoha vehemently denied, “It s just …… that these people alone. It is not enough to believe. If it is really like that Chen Ji account of the general. These chaotic parties must be extraordinary ……”

Zhu Di stood up, his eyes swept through the unfathomable, mouth said, “I understand what you mean, these people …… are not enough to become a big thing, there must be more important people behind.”

Yizhu laughed and said, “Yes, the slave girl thinks so.”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said, “Then urge Ji Gang so that he doesn’t take these small fishes and shrimps and fool me.”

After a pause, Zhu Di added: “These people …… check again, I see …… that there are not a few of them are really chaotic party. People write an article, the top said Kublai is a saint, said that this person has malicious intentions, he Ji Gang want to do? This perfunctory? Let him release the person, this kind of corrupt scholar is just stupid, such a stupid person, but also to treat him as a chaotic party to dispose of?”

Yiluoha nodded, “How about the Secretary’s side, all verified once?”

Zhu nodded, “Let’s do it.”

Yiluoha breathed a sigh of relief and rushed back to the Secretary’s office to summon all the other eunuchs to come.

He had only just begun to explain things when a eunuch hurriedly came and anxiously said, “Grand Eunuch, something must not be done. There is nothing to be done.”

Yizhuoha looked up, but it was Liu Yongcheng.

This Liu Yongcheng is not an ordinary person, although he is a eunuch, but he is skillful in bow and horse, and now he is the head eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Yishakha frowned, “What happened?”

Liu Yongcheng said, “Warrior Battalion Governor Eunuch Cui Yihong, got a driving license and was taken down by the Jinyiwei.”

Yizhuoha’s face changed when he heard this, and he looked at Liu Yongcheng with a sorrowful gaze, “Are you sure? They dare to take the palace?”

This Warrior Battalion is directly belongs to the Imperial Horse Supervisor’s men, has been controlled by the eunuchs, completely independent of the five military governor’s office.

Eunuchs who can supervise the warrior battalion have always been loyal and reliable, and now they are suddenly taken, which is obviously beyond the imagination of the big eunuchs in the palace like Yilungha and Liu Yongcheng.

Although this Cui Yihong’s little eunuch is nothing, saying that he is the governor of the Warrior Battalion, but in reality it is only equivalent to the supervisor, but his position is very important.

“In what name was the man taken?”

“With the name of the Chin case, but did not make it difficult for him, just under the driving sticker, let him go, go to the imperial prison to drink tea. Cui Yihong outside the palace, do not know what happened, thought it was the brocade guards acted by imperial decree, then honestly submit.”

Yiluoha’s gaze grew more and more morose as he heatedly smiled, “Good, very good. This Ji Gang is really good, we admire him.”

Liu Yongcheng is good at bow and horse, but the heart is far less than also lost Ha, at this time confused, so I do not understand, “What does the Grand Duke mean?”

Also lost ha faintly said, “Ji Gang this person …… from the past and the king of Han close, his majesty on this, know it like the back of your hand, just his majesty still need to rely on him just, he did so many years of detection, his majesty is not likely to be easy to cut and replace him.”

After a pause, also lost Ha continued: “So the palace, our side intends …… to promote His Majesty in the palace can also set up a control of the Yamen of the Brocade Guards, this matter …… we mentioned to His Majesty a few times, His Majesty also has this meaning , after all,…… His Majesty’s most trusted is ultimately still our people in the palace.”

Liu Yongcheng said, “We don’t even know about these things.”

He was a bit of an oddball.

Yiluoha consoled him, “This kind of thing is not your strong point, your strong point is marching, and you said, you do not mean anything, are we and Hou Xian a few discussed to do. But now we can be sure of two things.”

“Two things?”

Yiluoha calmly said, “One of the things about this is that Ji Gang has his eyes and ears in the palace, and probably, it’s someone beside us, or even beside His Majesty.”

After a pause, he went on to say, “This second: is that Ji Gang will not be willing …… to work hard to build up the jinyiwei, and the upper head is more than us to restrain. He finally took advantage of this Chin case, began to fight back.”

“Counterattack?” Liu Yongcheng said in surprise, “What did he counterattack?”

Also lost Ha had to laugh bitterly, to be honest, eunuchs to do Liu Yongcheng such a point, and can still get His Majesty’s trust, entrusted him in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, is also considered this Liu Yongcheng’s ancestral grave smoke.

Yiluoha said, “What is the only excuse for us to have a new Yamen in the inner court to regulate the Jinyiwei?”

Liu Yongcheng said, “Naturally, it is because His Majesty trusts us, and when the time came to pacify the nation, we followed His Majesty’s work, and over the years, we have naturally been diligent and diligent, and all of us have been loyal.”

Yiluoha then said: “This is right, that Ji Gang, have a wife and concubine, have children have children, and can not always serve His Majesty in the palace, but we are different, we have nothing, the only thing we can rely on, is the emperor. To be more precise, the emperor is our king, but also our parents, in addition to His Majesty, what else can we rely on? If His Majesty wants to build a new government office, it must be because we are loyal and reliable.”

Yiluoha patiently to Liu Yongcheng continued to explain: “And Ji Gang this person, if you want to counterattack us, let our hopes are disappointed, but simple, as long as …… from us, to find a chaotic party, proved that even we His Majesty’s side of the people are unreliable, then build a new government offices, I’m afraid that the matter, can not be achieved. .”

Liu Yongcheng suddenly realized, immediately exasperatedly said: “I see, the warrior battalion that Cui Yihong really is not a chaotic party, is simply Ji Gang this animal wants to take the opportunity to bad our reputation. Outrageous, let’s go to see His Majesty, and ruthlessly sue Ji Gang.”

Yishakha shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Can’t go.”

Liu Yongcheng said in surprise, “Why?”

Also lost ha move: “now can not go, this brocade guards means, you know, since the selection of cui yihong, certainly this cui yihong also have some unruly places, find a fault, will be enough to be able to sit on the evidence of guilt. And if we go to sue at this time, but instead it becomes harboring.”

“Should we just let Kizuna act in such a wanton manner?”

Yiluoha looked extraordinarily calm, “The more this time comes, the less we should panic, if not, nothing can be accomplished.”

Said, he settled down, sipped his tea, and mused, “You think carefully, Cui Yihong this guy …… weekdays …… what are the problems?”

“This …… he …… he loves to drink and …… is a little greedy for money …… ”

Yizhuoha’s face turned cold and pointed at Liu Yongcheng, “You, you, such a person, how dare you put him in the Warrior Camp?”

“We …… we ……” Liu Yongcheng wanted to explain something, and finally hung his head and said, “He is our godson ah. ”

Also Lost Ha: “……”

…………

In the middle of an imperial prison.

Wail after wail.

Ji Gang, on the other hand, was holding a tea cup and smiling, looking at his masterpiece in front of him.

Whenever this naked eunuch howled, Ji Gang had an inexplicable exhilaration.

He had to keep drinking tea to extinguish the fire within.

A few Jinyiwei lieutenants, with small pincers, continued to rip the flesh off this eunuch’s body little by little.

This eunuch has long been drenched in blood, he screamed and seemed to have lost his mind, muttering under his breath, “It’s not me, it’s not me ……”

Just then, Ji Gang stood up and said, ”Not you, why did you hide so much gold and silver? You work as an officer in the palace, how much is your monthly salary? And your brother, outside of the public, on weekdays, and the Warrior Battalion’s military generals liaise so closely, and what’s going on?”

“Once, you drank with people, but you said …… to them that this warrior battalion is your last name Cui, and you teach them how to be, and they will be how to be. These …… are indeed true, right? In addition …… to your brother’s home, searched out the former Yuan’s palace objects, these objects, where did he come from?”

He spoke slowly and methodically, looking at the eunuch in front of him with a smile or not: ”Do you think …… that at this time, someone will come to save you? Heh …… don’t be delusional. Since I dared to invite you here, I can make sure that you go out horizontally! Oh, in addition to you, there are also your brothers, a few of your nephews I also heard that before you entered the palace, when you were still young, there was also a woman who was a good match, and now even though she is married to a woman, you treat her well ……”

Ji Gang looked at Cui Yihong morosely and said, “This woman …… You can rest assured that I will take care of her with the brothers up and down the guard.”

Cui Yihong screamed, “Ji Gang, you shall not die.”

Ji Gang ignored his shouting and cursed, but said word by word: “Ai, that little nephew of yours, he’s only four years old, it’s such a pity at such a young age. Can you bear to let him suffer like you? There are some things that you can no longer explain clearly, if you don’t give an explanation, how can I take orders from my side to His Majesty? Say it, say it, and you can at least leave a whole body.”

Cui Yihong whimpered and howled, then gritted her teeth and said, “My godfather will never let you go.”

Ji Gang did not have the slightest expression on his face, “Your godfather is too stupid, in this palace, the only capable …… eunuch is not your godfather either. My patience, has reached its limit, I ask you again ……”

Cui Yihong gritted his teeth and said, “You kill us, kill us.”

Gee said nothing more, but paced hurriedly out.

Out of the torture chamber.

Ji Gang grimaced, Jin Yiwei Commanding Commander Commander Liu Xiang hurriedly came, whispered, “Take this Cui Yihong, the head of the palace those who have no eggs will not …… be.”

“We are working on the Chin case, what are we afraid of?” Ji Gang’s face still didn’t have too much emotion, just said in a leisurely tone, “Anyone involved in the Chin case won’t want to walk out. In the end, this is just a palace slave girl, it’s nothing.”

After a pause, Ji Gang deeply looked at this Liu Xiang a glance, this again: “When His Majesty rebuilt the Brocade Guards, it is a few of our brothers, single-handedly pull this Brocade Guards up, those who have no balls, but in front of His Majesty to make trips, wanting to lie on the top of you and me, to do the Supreme Emperor!”

“Hey …… they are thinking well, but it is a pity …… that I Ji Gang is not a vegetarian! This up and down, are our own brothers, we eat meat together, drink together, live a good life together, if those eunuchs come, have you good?”

Liu Xiang heard, nodded fiercely: “I know, into the motherfucker, do not straighten out these castrate dogs, we these years, is not in vain.”

Ji Gang then did not say more, but said: “within today, I want to confession, confession to be detailed, not only this Cui Yihong to confess, and his brother, and other military officials involved! His Majesty is not a confused person, general confession, perfunctory but.”

Liu Xiang perked up, “Don’t worry big brother, we’ve been around for so many years, what hasn’t been done properly.”

Kizuna nodded, and then he took a step in faith.

At this time, the Jin Yi Wei was different from the Jin Yi Wei in other periods of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di after entering the capital in order to suppress the remaining Jianwen, authorized Ji Gang and others to rebuild the Brocade Guards, it can be said that this Brocade Guards is almost a single-handedly built up by Ji Gang. Up and down all the people, are his hand to promote, these people and he is the relationship of solidarity, the whole Jin Yiwei internal, almost iron bucket piece.

Sure enough, by the next day.

Kikyo enters the palace.

Traveled to the outside of the martial arts building.

Yishooha saw Kizuna and smiled faintly.

Ji Gang also smiled and stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, “Grand Duke, how is His Majesty …… in a good mood today?”

“It’s okay.” Yiluoha said intimately, “Commander Ji, you’ve really worked hard these past few days.”

“Hard work?”

Yilungha said, “We see that you look tired, I’m afraid that you’re anxious about the Chin case.”

“Thank you for your concern, Grand Duke.” Ji Gang said, “Duty calls for it, and sometimes it does take a bit of effort, but there’s nothing that can be done about it.”

Yiluoha patted his shoulder, “None of it is easy, none of it is easy! Go see His Majesty quickly, His Majesty misses you.”

The two of them smiled at each other, like old friends of many years, and joined hands to enter the martial arts building.

Zhu Di high seat, but the face to see Ji Gang: “How is it?”

Ji Gang salute, then said, “Your Majesty …… I know wrong, a few days ago to catch people, although there is a suspicion, but after all, …… many are innocent, I have put people away seven or eight, the remaining several, really can not wash the suspect The …… humble worry about letting the tiger return to the mountain …… boldly …… stayed down.”

Zhu Di nodded lightly, “Any new eyebrows?”

“Yes.” Kizuna stepped forward and took out a confession, which he then forwarded to Yiluoha.

Yiluoha took the confession and carefully sent it to Zhu Di’s imperial case.

Zhu Di took it, opened it, looked down, and his face moved slightly, “The eunuch Cui Yihong of the Imperial Horse Supervisor?”

Ji Gang said, “Ironclad evidence is like a mountain, I …… dare not fail to observe, if your majesty thinks that I have any mistakes ……”

Zhu waved his hand and looked over carefully.

This confession of ten thousand words, there is Cui Yihong’s confession, and his brother Cui Sanxi’s confession.

On top of that, there were several military officers from the Warrior Battalion, and there was even a search of Cui Sanxi’s home.

Zhu looked at each of the pledges and the confessions.

There seemed to be some disbelief, so after making another comparison, he put the confession down, looked up at Ji Gang, and said, “The eunuchs in the palace, why do they have a relationship with Northern Yuan?”

“Your Majesty, it was someone who pulled him into the water, his brother Cui Sanxi ……”

Zhu Di frowned up: “I have read the report, I mean …… only this pair of brothers, is there no one else?”

This seems to be right in Ji Gang’s mind, “I am still investigating thoroughly, only these people act, very treacherous, my humble investigation to Cui Yihong, has already taken a lot of effort.”

Zhu Di coldly grunted, “Warrior battalion …… hum, this is a warrior battalion ah, warrior battalion are like this, that is not good!”

Ji Gang is busy is to worship fall to the ground, sincere fear said:” humble ten thousand deaths, as a jinyiwei commanding officer, even can not be detected in advance, so that the thieves appeared in the eyes of his majesty, humble …… ten thousand deaths.”

Yizhuoha coldly looked at everything in front of him, and at this …… time he had to admire Ji Gang.

The fear that Ji Gang showed in front of Zhu Di was precisely the source of His Majesty’s trust in Ji Gang.

His Majesty, this person …… has always been confident, he is confident that Ji Gang such a person …… in front of himself, but it is only a mole cricket, as long as a little wrinkle a frown, will be able to Ji Gang scared to the liver and gall bladder, but also because of this kind of self-confidence, Zhu Di feels that Ji Gang absolutely does not dare to deceive himself.

Ji Gang was extremely clever in seizing His Majesty’s mentality to serve as a cover, and could be said to have penetrated His Majesty’s mind.

Zhu Di faintly said, “Investigate thoroughly!”

“Here.”

………………

A cannon went off in Sutera.

Soon, the five satoshi of the capital assembled.

Of course, there’s another Gen in Annan who can’t make it.

Zhang Anshi at this time complacent, joyful, said: “All brothers, today the big brother …… painstakingly, finally captured a chaotic party, all bring guys …… with the big brother to go, listen to the orders of the big brother, and be sure to protect the Big brother …… no, must not let that chaotic party run away.”

Zhu Yong: “……”

Zhang Yoking: “……”

Chuson did a double take and patted his belly proudly.

Half an hour later.

Ministry of War ……

Chen Wenjun, the head of the Ministry of War, was off duty, and at this time he was just about to get into a sedan chair.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me cry out, “Hold him.”

With a command, two figures were seen encircling from the left and right.

Immediately after that, it was time to start punching and kicking Chen Wenjun.

It was just after duty, and many ministers of the Ministry of War came out from the ministry hall.

Then they saw an unbelievable scene.

Chen Wenjun, a fellow officer wearing a winged hat and official robes, was pressed to the ground and pounded for a while, letting out a pig-killing howl.

Someone was furious: “What kind of curmudgeon dares to commit murder here.”

Zhang Anshi with ten or eight to protect him came out in a hurry, resentful: “Catch the chaotic party, catch the chaotic party, sorry very much, alarmed you all, do not see the blame, next time must be informed in advance, so as not to alarm you all, next time must …… be.”

“……”

In the midst of everyone’s dismay.

Zhang Anshi has rushed up and grabbed Chen Wenjun who was beaten on the ground, exclaiming, “Into your mother, you dog thief, finally found you, I Zhang Anshi are law-abiding, you motherfucker even dare to plot against the law!”
