Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 217
The instructions Feng Bao gave in Dongchang should be very confidential, but the fact is that less than half an hour later, Zhu Xixiao, the governor of Jinyiwei who personally sits in his brother's mansion, received a detailed report.

Don't get me wrong, Zhu Xixiao didn't intend to kill himself by sending Jin Yiwei's spies to monitor Dongchang, but... Someone from Dongchang naturally came to inform him.

One of Dongchang's duties is to monitor Jinyiwei. Why would an important person in Dongchang pass the news to the governor of Jinyiwei?

Because at this time, the factory guard has already broken the relationship between the bones and the tendons.

If you want to analyze this matter in detail, it would be a long story. Briefly speaking, there are both historical origins and reasons for the mutual flow of personnel.

At the beginning of the parallel factories and guards, Jinyiwei's power was more powerful in the East Factory. The development of the factory rights first started when Wang Zhizhi set up the West Factory, and then started when Liu Jinfu established the West Factory and established the Expert Factory.After Liu Jin's defeat, both the West Factory and the Expert Factory were shattered, while the East Factory was led by the eunuch Zhang Rui, who competed with Qian Ning, the commander of Jinyiwei, to arrest him. This became the key to the development of the factory guard system.The secret service system, like all systems, gradually matured in this way.

Later, although the factory guards were two different spy agencies, their key was inseparable.Because Dongchang, except for the eunuchs, is in charge of punishing thousands of households, managing hundreds of households, stalls, and fans, all of which are selected by Jin Yiwei.Therefore, it is said in the history books: "There is no one in the factory guard who does not get along with each other. The prison situation is serious and the factory can get it inside. As for those who have standards in the outer court, the guards will visit and arrest them from the east and west divisions, and the Beisi will torture them and exercise them. Within a week, it will be sent to the Judiciary. Even if it is acquired by Dongchang, it will also be transferred to the town for resignation, and then the Ministry of Punishment will have to formulate its crime."

But closeness is closeness, but it does not mean that the people of Dongchang "should" have such courage to sell the instructions of the factory owner so cleanly-so there are special reasons for this period.

As we all know, in the Ming Dynasty, Dongchang dominated Jinyiwei most of the time, but there were some periods when this was not the case. For example, when Lu Bing, the famous brother of Emperor Jiajing, was in charge of Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei's power was completely worthy of Dongchang.Many people know the deeds of Governor Lu, so there is no need to go into details, what I want to talk about is Lu Bing's style.

Lu Bing loves money, and he has a good way of collecting money. He once recruited fierce and evil officials as his minions, and found out that the wealthy people had minor faults. He immediately arrested and confiscated their family wealth. Zhuangtian spread all over the place.But the more important thing is that Lu Bing is also very good at "spreading money". It is said in history that he "gathers power, deals with good people, and is not stingy." This is his cleverness.

Lu Bing was well-versed in power and strategy. In addition to serving the emperor loyally, he also had a close relationship with the cabinet ministers at the time, especially Yan Song.However, although Lu Bing was never relentless when he harmed his political opponents, when Emperor Jiajing set up prisons several times and wanted to put many courtiers to death, he would do his best to preserve them, and he never "framed a single person", so although he was killed Many wealthy folks who have no power and power are well received by the court officials.

Precisely because he has both sides, he has been too successful in life, so his official career is also very prosperous.He was the only winner of the Three Dukes and Three Gus (Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao are collectively called Sangong, and Shaoshi, Shaofu, and Shaobao are collectively called Sangu) in the Ming Dynasty. Almost all the honors that ministers can get are concentrated in him all over.

There is another example of Emperor Jiajing's love for Lu Bing: According to the regulations of the year, Jin Yiwei was only qualified to stand on the west side of the main hall when he was in court.However, Emperor Jiajing made an exception for Lu Bing alone, "specially ordered to sit on the top, the end of the second rank of the class".

After Lu Bing, Jin Yiwei's power has declined, but because Zhu Xixiao is the younger brother of Cheng Guogong Zhu Xizhong, and Zhu Xizhong was the one who rescued Emperor Jiajing with Lu Bing, Jin Yiwei can still stand against Dongchang at this moment .And Zhu Xixiao also deliberately imitated Lu Bing in many aspects because of Lu Bing's success back then, and his elder brother Zhu Xizhong was also a leader of honorable ministers with deep ties to civil servants, so he was able to keep the authority of Jinyiwei.

In this way, including the original relationship between the factory guards, there will naturally be people in the East Factory who are willing to maintain an "extraordinary" relationship with him.

Zhu Xixiao's face is like a jujube, and he is tall. Of course, he is not wearing an ordinary flying fish suit, but a big red python robe - this is a privilege granted during the Jiajing period.At this moment, he was holding a piece of letter paper full of petite characters, looking at it with his usual expression.

After reading it, I didn't see any expression of surprise or anger from him, but he just raised his head slightly, showing a harmless smile, and said to the messenger: "Please tell your daddy, his kindness, Zhu Thank you so much."

He didn't say what he would do after receiving the news, and he didn't ask at all. He just bowed politely and affectionately: "The governor's words are serious, and my head said that the factory guards still have to work together for the emperor." That's the truth... Captain, I have to go back to my job as a humble officer, so I won't bother you any more."

Zhu Xixiao stood up: "I'll see you off."

"How dare you! The governor stays, stays!" What kind of identity is that guy, how dare he be Zhu Xixiao as a gift?Of course, he also knew that Zhu Xixiao was just putting on an attitude, but no matter what he said, he still felt very comfortable in his heart. Thinking about the one in Dongchang, and comparing it with the one in front of him, he really wished he could go back to the time of the first emperor...

After Fanzi left, the smile on Zhu Xixiao's face disappeared, and he walked towards the flower hall in the inner hall with a sullen face. Naturally, the servants in front of the flower hall did not dare to stop the second master, but Zhu Xixiao stopped by himself, and asked the leading steward: " The Duke and the others have been talking for so long, is it still not good?"

The steward waved away the rest of the servants around him, then came over and said in a low voice, "Second Master, you know that the shareholding is limited. The big guys first experienced the magic of soap carefully, and then they were deadlocked because of the share issue." No problem, fortunately, the master has great prestige, and after explaining it from left to right, it seems that there are some clues just now."

Zhu Xixiao nodded and said, "Then I'll wait."

But as soon as the words fell, the door of the flower hall was pushed open, and a group of dignitaries in python robes came out chatting and feasting inside.

Zhu Xixiao knew who they were without even looking: his elder brother, Zhu Xizhong, Duke of Cheng, Zhang Rong, Duke of England, Xu Wenbi, Duke of Ding, Li Yangong, son of Marquis of Linhuai, Gu Huan, Marquis of Zhenyuan, Xue Gan, Marquis of Yangwu, Li Ru, Marquis of Xiang, Chengbo Li Chenggong and Yingcheng uncle Sun Wendong—the description just now is a bit problematic: Li Yangong here is not wearing a python robe because he is not the Marquis of Linhuai himself, but because he has long been named in Jinyiwei, he also wears a flying fish suit, which is also true. It looks similar to the boa robe.

As a result, the inner courtyard is really crowded with pythons, and the hall is full of princes.
