Jinyi champion

In court, Zhu Si spoke highly of Zang Feng.

Even the fact that Zang Feng falsely reported his military exploits when he served as the Governor of Xuanda was only mentioned as "no connection". Hu Zan, now that the Hu Zan people are approaching the capital, they can't beat Hu Zan back, right?

For the time being, Zang Feng did not need to take up the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment. The court did not have a suitable official vacancy for him, so Zhu Si said that he had another appointment.

After the court meeting ended.

Not surprisingly, many people are eager to know Yang Tinghe's opinion on this matter.

Originally, the Ministry of Punishment had already issued an official document to cooperate with the Jin Yiwei to thoroughly investigate Zang Feng's false military exploits, which meant that Zang Feng would be beaten from the prison. All kinds of things are not pursued.

Everyone would think that Yang Tinghe would not let it go.

But now only Lin Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, is qualified to talk to Yang Tinghe directly. He caught up with Yang Tinghe a few steps, fell behind half a step, and asked in a low voice.

"...What should be said, didn't His Majesty mention it at the court meeting?"

Yang Tinghe seemed very impatient when faced with Lin Jun's question.

It seems to be saying that the matter of Zang Feng has come to an end for the time being, and I don't want to mention this person again.

Lin Jun said anxiously: "Nowadays, the major flaws in the defense of the Northwest are all due to the muddle-headedness of women. Those who don't do things can be rewarded by His Majesty, but those who do do things have to bear the consequences. Just because he is the predecessor and His Majesty's person, it can be done." Don't let the past go?"

Yang Tinghe looked sideways at Lin Jun.

In any case, he never expected that Lin Jun would be so excited about this matter.

When Yang Tinghe reappointed Lin Jun as Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, he only thought that this person would become his right-hand man, but he never expected that Lin Jun would be so radical after returning to the court, and he would become the vanguard of his Yang Tinghe faction. the wearing kind.

I have no problem with you targeting Zang Feng.

But what do you mean by "there are women who can get by"?
Are you pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and scolding me, Yang, as well?Just because I don't want to go any further, you just talk like that?

Jiang Mian, who was standing on the other side of Yang Tinghe, saw that Lin Jun was too excited, and hurriedly reminded him: "Your Majesty, if you want to investigate the matter in the northwest, you have to wait until after the Northwest Jingsu? Now we can't send people to the northwest. The war is still going on." In progress, how can we find out?"

In Jiang Mian's view, this Lin Jun is a bit crazy.

Yang Tinghe recalled him to the imperial court to become Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and he reciprocated the favor, trying to get ahead in everything. Now that the war in the Northwest is still in a state of anxiety, you are in a hurry to investigate the falsified military exploits of the frontier defenders?Could you please wait until the war is over to check?Aren't you afraid of causing mutiny in the army?
Northwest affairs are already chaotic enough, and there are still people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. We can understand the sense of justice in your heart, but you must distinguish the time and occasion.

Yang Tinghe raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Mian's further words, then turned to Lin Jun and said, "If the Ministry of Punishment is going to investigate, can we find out in the shortest time under such circumstances?"

"Um!?"

Jiang Mian's throat seemed to be choked by something.

Yang Tinghe really wants to check his feelings?
Now we have to wait for Lin Jun to express his opinion.

If you think that the Ministry of Criminal Justice can thoroughly investigate the situation in Baiyangkou under the circumstances of frequent wars in the Northwest, list all the affairs, and use this to convict Zang Feng and others, then you can speak up, maybe I'll let you check it out.

Lin Jun also had a violent temper: "Why not? Send someone to the northwest!"

"Who?"

Jiang Mian asked for Yang Tinghe.

Lin Jundao: "Hu Boheng is about to arrive in the capital, let him turn to the Xuanfu and find out the situation."

Hearing this, Yang Tinghe almost rolled his eyes.

Zang Feng is the right servant of the Ministry of punishment and the governor of Xuanda. Now that Zang Feng has been withdrawn, the relationship between Xuanfu, Datong, Piantouguan, and Daomaguan is already messy enough. You actually want to send another right of the Ministry of punishment? The servant went to investigate the case?Isn't this chaos on top of chaos?
Check it out, we can understand your sense of justice, but please don't make trouble for us?
"Let's do this first. It is more important than anything else to stabilize the declared war."

Yang Tinghe finally stated, "Before this, no one should mention whether the border generals have falsely reported their military exploits. The stability of the army's morale is more important than anything else."

Even Yang Tinghe knew that the Northwest couldn't stand the trouble now, and if the trouble continued, there would be a bigger crisis at the Xuandong Conference.

There are only a few passes between Xuanda and the capital, such as Bauhinia Pass and Juyongguan. If something happens to Xuanda, the capital will be under martial law in the next step, and the flames of war may spread to the capital.

……

……

Qianqing Palace.

Sitting at the desk, Zhu Si looked at the letter Zhu Hao sent back from Nanjing.

After Zhu Hao arrived in Nanjing, he wrote to Zhu Si immediately, but it was in the name of Luo An. Even if the letter fell into the hands of others, he would not be able to detect it, because it used Zhu Hao to discuss with Zhu Si. In order to find out the true meaning of the "ciphertext" in the ciphertext, some words need to be compared and compared with the cipherbook.

For Zhu Si, doing this is both fun and safe, so he can communicate with Zhu Hao with confidence.

"...Your Majesty, all have been translated, please take a look." Zhang Zuo was in charge of checking the code book, translated the letter, and presented it to Zhu Si.

Zhu Si took a look at it, and said with a smile, "Zhu Hao is still far-sighted. He is thousands of miles away, but he knows what is going on in the capital."

Zhang Zuo was very curious. When compiling the content earlier, he was thinking, Zhu Hao didn't seem to say anything, so His Majesty thinks that Zhu Hao is strategizing?
Zhu Sidao: "Look, the most important thing that Zhu Hao mentioned is to protect Zang Feng, because I have a mild attitude today, and even the surname Yang didn't question or object, so that Zang Feng can avoid falling into crisis , when he is used in the future, he will definitely be grateful to Dade, this is equivalent to accepting a general for me.”

Zhang Zuo laughed and cried.

Everyone has been dismissed, so what about the general?
Even if Zang Feng is legally innocent now, he can continue to serve as a minister-level Beijing official, but what position should he be placed in?Guaranteed that after he returns to the court, Yang Tinghe will not completely cut off his official career?
Besides, the matter of false and concealed military exploits in the Northwest has not yet been settled, and the civil service faction will definitely continue to entangle.

Zhang Zuo said: "Your Majesty, do you think it is time to transfer Mr. Zhu back as soon as possible?"

"Not urgent."

Zhu Sidao: "Zhu Hao said that he wants to be in Nanjing and help me stabilize the situation. I gave him an imperial decree so that he can act cheaply."

"what?"

Zhang Zuo turned pale with shock.

Zhang Zuo was completely unaware of this matter.

It stands to reason that if the emperor wants to issue an imperial edict, it must be drafted by the Imperial Academy, and then it can only be implemented after the cabinet and civil officials deliberate and confirm that there is no problem.

But now the emperor skipped the civil service system and directly issued a secret edict to Zhu Hao...

From a legal point of view, this secret edict is legal but unreasonable. If the place where the secret edict is executed is in the capital, Yang Tinghe must break the leg of the executor...

But if this secret edict is placed in Nanjing...

Nanjing was originally a place where the emperor was far away. The emperor's will was above the local government system, and perhaps it could really achieve miraculous results.

Zhang Zuo asked: "Your Majesty, you let Mr. Zhu..."

Zhu Si smiled and said, "I asked Zhu Hao to meet Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, who is defending Nanjing. I just wanted to ask him, if the government order is issued, and my attitude is not the same as that of the surname Yang, who will he listen to?"

"This……"

Zhang Zuo wanted to say, but is there any need to ask?

In front of the emperor's envoys, Xu Pengju would definitely say that he listened to the emperor, or he would say that he listened to the court...wait...

Zhang Zuo realized immediately.

If this secret edict is in the hands of ordinary people, it will have the same effect, but if it is in Zhu Hao's hands...

Based on Zhang Zuo's understanding of Zhu Hao, both

However, Zhu Hao instigated the emperor to issue such a secret edict, and he personally took it to the south of the Yangtze River, the effect it could play may not be imagined by ordinary people.

Maybe it will cause an uproar in Nanjing.

"Besides, Zhu Hao said that although the Bohai Shipyard has not yet built large ships, ordinary ships are enough to fight against pirates in the south. Even weapons have begun to be cast, and they are shipped to the south in large quantities through the Nanjing Ministry of Households. Now the only What is lacking is soldiers and horses." Zhu Si said.

Zhang Zuo was startled.

There are ships, weapons, food and supplies, but no soldiers?

Isn't that the same as nothing?

Zhang Zuo asked tentatively, "So Your Majesty sent Mr. Zhu to the south to solve the problem of soldiers?"

"Recruitment." Zhu Si said.

Only then did Zhang Zuo know that Zhu Hao didn't simply go out of Beijing to avoid suspicion. Was Yang Tinghe's suspicion really that important to Zhu Hao?Zhu Hao has gone to the south to turn the world upside down!

If Zhu Hao had the right to recruit troops, wouldn't Zhu Hao visit with such a troop?Does this still follow the rules of the Ming court?
The consequences of being known by civil servants should not be underestimated.

Zhu Sidao: "I know what you are worried about. If Zhu Hao is allowed to do it himself, it will definitely not work. It needs to be done by the Nanjing garrison, or...Zhu Hao will weigh the situation and make the recruiting secret and reasonable. Form the army After the horses, this army will be responsible for maintaining the stability of the sea area. This army belongs directly to me and does not take orders from anyone... It is up to him to decide the details. Let Zhu Hao go, I can rest assured."

Zhang Zuoxin said, don't worry, Zhu Hao alone is worth an army.

I gave him the imperial decree to let him go to a place far away from the emperor, it was really high and let the birds fly, I was afraid that Zhu Hao's heart would not be able to hold back.

"I want to write a reply letter to him, so that he can get things done as soon as possible... Go, get the code book." Zhu Si motioned to Zhang Zuo to help get the things, "What I'm worried about now is not Southeast Coast Defense, but Xuanda , Actually Zhu Hao is not in the capital, so I am worried."

Zhang Zuo felt like crying.

I said earlier that there is no need to call people back in a hurry, but I turned my head...

So Your Majesty, you are also in a hurry?

Xuanda is connected to the capital, if something really happened in the capital, Zhu Hao is in the south of the Yangtze River... Do you want to open another court for you?
