I just want to make money

Chapter 220 Accepting Lin Chong, Deputy Commander of the Temple
Song Huizong scolded Gao Qiu and pointed out various problems in the imperial army. Gao Qiu himself knew that his management was not good, so he knelt on the ground and trembled with fright.

Song Huizong finished cursing, and said to Gao Qiu: "When you go back, the first thing is to honestly investigate for me how many people are still in the Imperial Army, how many are empty-paid, how many are not eligible, how many are Combat power."

"I will arrange for Lin Yi to join the Forbidden Army in the future, and make adjustments to military discipline, training, promotion, logistics, and combat effectiveness. You must cooperate well."

Gao Qiu knew,

Now the emperor favors Lin Yi, this is the rhythm of making himself a mascot and letting Lin Yi take over the real power.

But how dare he say no.

"Chen, I must do a good job." Gao Qiu said tremblingly.

Song Huizong looked at Lin Yi beside him, and said, "Lin Qing, from today onwards, you will concurrently serve as the commander of the deputy capital in front of the palace."

The deputy commander of the Dianqian Division is a fourth-rank military position, which is equivalent to Gao Qiu, the deputy of the Dianqian Commander. According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, the deputy commander of the Dianqian Division is better than his Zhongshu Sheren and Longtuge's bachelor's degree is much lower, but it gives Lin Yi the right to directly intervene in the army.

And now Lin Yi is the emperor's biggest favorite, and the entire Bianjing officialdom knows that Gao Qiu has to stand aside now, and whoever has the final say in the Dianshuai's mansion will have the final say.

The reason why Gao Qiu was driven away without a single blow was mainly because Gao Qiu had been in business for so many years, and the influence he had cultivated was not small, and it took some time to sort out.

Gao Lian is still useful now.

Song Huizong asked Gao Qiu to swear.

Gao Qiu dared not refuse, and immediately swore a heavy oath, and when the oath was over, Lin Yi received a system reminder that "this obeisance" took effect, and from now on, if Gao Qiu was disobedient, he would be punished immediately.

"I'm tired, let's go down." Song Huizong waved his hand.

The eunuch immediately went over and helped Song Huizong to lie down.

Gao Qiu got up and said goodbye.

Lin Yi and Gao Qiu walked out of the palace gate together, the two walked forward for a while, Gao Qiu cupped his hands, and said with a very respectful attitude: "Lin Sheren, when will you go to the Palace Commander's Mansion, I will prepare documents for you, and get to know you as soon as possible." What's the situation in the Palace Commander's Mansion?"

Gao Qiu called Lin Sheren instead of Commander of the Deputy Capital, because Sheren had a higher status. If he called Lin Yi, Commander of the Deputy Capital, it was obvious that he wanted to use his status as Commander of the Capital to overwhelm him. To put it bluntly Just want to find something.

Now Gao Qiu really dare not ask about Lin Yi.

"Just tomorrow." Lin Yi said with a smile.

Gao Li used to be arrogant because he was favored by Song Huizong, but now he knows that this Lin Yi is much more favored than him, and he was born as the number one scholar, his background is incomparable with others, and he is naturally shorter .

The attitude dare not be disrespectful.

At this moment, Lin Yi spoke again, "Taiwei, Mr. Lin has something to ask."

"Lin Sheren is too polite, please tell me if you have anything to say."

"That's right. I once learned martial arts from Teacher Zhou Tong. I heard that in the capital, there are many students of Zhou Tong. There is one named Lin Chong who is also a student of the teacher. We should be regarded as brothers."

"A few days ago, I inquired about Lin Chong. I heard that he was sent to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. I also heard that this incident had something to do with you, Mr. Taiwei. So I want to ask you about it."

Gao Qiu understood Lin Yi's meaning as soon as he heard it.

Immediately smiled and said: "I have met Master Zhou Tong before. His martial arts are so powerful that they are invincible in the world. It turns out that Lin Sheren also practiced martial arts. He is really good at both civil and military skills."

"Lin Chong is Lin Sheren's senior brother. It's really his luck. There was some misunderstanding before. Tonight I will let Lin Chong go to your house to thank you."

Lin Yi smiled and cupped his hands.

"Thank you so much, Lieutenant."

"How can Lin Sheren thank you for such trivial matters, Lin Sheren, we are all close to His Majesty, we need to keep in touch in the future." Gao Qiu said with a smile.

There is a sense of closeness in the words.

"That's natural, you and I can work better for His Majesty if you and I are of the same mind, Taiwei, don't you think so?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Extremely so."

That evening,

Lin Yi was having dinner, and Cui Niannu and a few girls were waiting on him. The housekeeper, Lin Youcai, walked into the dining room to report, bowed and said, "Master, there is a man outside the door asking to see you, and he calls himself Lin Chong. He is here to thank you for saving his life." .”

Lin Yi nodded.

"Let him wait in the living room, and I'll go there after dinner."

"It's my lord."

Lin Chong was imprisoned in the Bianjing Prefecture Yamen prison for four months because of his involvement in the Gao Ya Nei incident. From the beginning of resentment and lamentation, to the final expression of numbness and resignation, finally he slowly figured out that life is like this, his The mind was tempered in this incident.

he knows,
Offended Gao Taiwei.

There will be no future in this life.

Even imprisonment is unavoidable, assassination and exile is only a matter of the Taiwei's words, he can only accept it.

His original eager heart was completely cold.

I just want to wait for this matter to end, and lead my wife to live a good life.

But today,
Suddenly someone came and let him go, and told him that someone asked him to go, Lin Chong hurriedly asked who it was.

After all, it is definitely not ordinary people who can ask someone from Gao Taiwei.

The man told him,
It is Mr. Lin Yilin, the number one scholar in the current department. Now Mr. Lin Yilin is the most popular person around the emperor. He has jumped ten levels in just three months. .

Now he has been appointed as the deputy envoy of Dianshuai.

Lin Chong didn't know why such a big man wanted to help him. The man said to him, "Lin Zhuangyuan once worshiped Mr. Zhou Tong as his teacher and said that you are his brother."

Lin Chong suddenly felt the urge to cry.

at last,

Finally, I have someone I can rely on.

He hurried home, Zhang Zhenniang was overjoyed to see Lin Chong's sudden return, the two exchanged some pleasantries, Lin Chong told his wife what had happened, hurriedly took a bath and changed clothes, asked his wife to comb his hair, and then came to Lin Yi's residence to thank him.

Lin Chong was sitting in the living room, only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, and kept his body upright, thinking about what Lin Sheren would say when he saw him.

At this moment, the door curtain was lifted, and a handsome and burly young man walked in. Lin Chong stood up immediately, but before he could speak, Lin Yi looked at Lin Chong with a smile, and said, "Come with me to the martial arts field in the backyard."

Lin's mansion is very large, and naturally there is a martial arts training ground, which is larger than Lin Yi's house in Qinghe County, and the training ground is even more complete.

Lin Chong didn't know why, but he still hurriedly followed obediently.

When the two came to the training ground, Lin Yi picked up a 32-jin tiger-head gun and said to Lin Chong, "Choose one from the weapon shelf."

Lin Chong is also a martial idiot. He took a deep breath, put aside other thoughts, and pulled out a big gun from the shelf, which was no less than Lin Yi's tiger-headed gun.

"Look at how much you have learned from the teacher and show your real skills. The more powerful you are, the more I like you." Lin Yi said.

Lin Chong looked serious, knowing that Lin Sheren intended to take the school exam.

"That lowly position is offended."

The two had a drink, and raised their guns to fight together. The fight was very lively for a while, the guns were wrapped in cotton cloth, so they were not afraid of stabbing people, the more they were like this, the less they had to keep their hands.

After fighting for a full quarter of an hour, both of them were a little out of breath. Lin Yi fought this battle very happily. I have to say that Lin Chong's martial arts are really good. No wonder he can become the gun instructor of the 80 Imperial Army.

In the entire Water Margin, Lin Chong's force should also rank among the top five.

of course,

If Lin Yi took out the 81-pound gun, Lin Chong would vomit blood in less than a few rounds.

The two put away their guns.

Lin Yi looked at Lin Chong and said, "The government appointed me as the deputy envoy of the palace commander. I need some manpower now. Are you willing to come and help me?"

Lin Chong was overjoyed.

Immediately knelt down on one knee, "Lin Chong pays homage to the deputy envoy, and is willing to follow him on the saddle, but he dare not refuse to follow the order."

Lin Yi nodded,

"Get up, and follow me to the Imperial Army to take office tomorrow."

"Yes." Lin Chong replied loudly.

Lin Yi didn't stay with Lin Chong for a drink to recite his brotherhood. It was already the greatest friendship and grace that he could accept him as his subordinate. Lin Chong is a smart person, so he naturally knows how to measure. As long as he works hard in the future, Lin Yi will definitely not treat him badly, after all I count myself as my own.

Back home,
Lin Chong hugged Zhang Zhenniang and rushed to kill him desperately.

Once the lovesickness is relieved,

The second is to celebrate having a good master.

Speaking of,
Lin Chong's personality is especially suitable for being a subordinate. He is not stupid, capable, self-motivated but not ambitious. If he is with a good leader, he will be a general who can do things. Of course, he will never be a handsome talent.

The next day.

Lin Yi put on a purple robe and went out in a sedan chair.

Lin Chong followed on horseback, followed by several guards.

Arriving at the Si Yamen in front of the hall, Gao Qiu had already been waiting here, and there were dozens of officials around him, including Bu Shuai, Ma Shuai, the Deputy Commander of the Ma Jun's Infantry, and Yu Hou of each army. Not eligible to welcome.

Speaking of,
Lin Yi is one level lower than Gao Lian, on the same level as Bu Shuai and Ma Shuai, but these people dare not trust him.

Don't worry, they are military officers, and Lin Yi's family is the number one scholar, a bachelor of Longtuge, and a member of Zhongshushe, so they are naturally several levels higher than them.

What's more, Lin Yi is still the emperor's favorite minister.

Yesterday Tong Guan and Gao Qiu were called over, Tong Guan's face was covered with blood, Gao Qiu trembled with fright, and the news that Lin Yi was directly appointed as the deputy envoy of the former secretary had already spread throughout Bianjing.

Why are you here?

Every fool knows,
This is for in-depth investigation to find the problem.

Can a future prime minister take a fancy to the position of a deputy envoy in front of the palace? It is obvious that Lin Yi is here to find fault. When the time comes to report, there will be a large number of people who will be unlucky, and these people dare not have half points in front of Lin Yi. disrespectful.

Lin Chong followed Lin Yi, feeling that these adults who are usually aloof, now bowed down and smiled in fright in front of Lin Yi, and suddenly felt very happy and happy.

Everyone exchanged greetings.

Go inside the Si Yamen in front of the hall.

Lin Yi looked up and saw the plaque of "Baihu Festival Hall", and felt very strange in his heart. The famous chapter of "leopard head mistakenly enters Baihu Hall" in the novel seems to be gone.

Glancing at Lin Chong, whose back was straight,

The leopard head is still there.

But Gao Qiu didn't dare to do anything to him.

In the White Tiger Hall, Lin Yi met and exchanged greetings with many chief officials. Lin Yi smiled and said, "Before I come this time, Your Majesty has a few things to order."

Everyone tensed up.

"The first is to check the empty pay, and check how many soldiers the imperial army has now. The past can be ignored, but this time it must be the real number. If there are mistakes and omissions in the report this time, they will be executed if they are found out. , and at worst ransack the family and exterminate the family.”

The hearts of all those present were tense.

The laws of the Song Dynasty were benevolent, if you could not kill people, you would not kill them, and there were even fewer cases of family raids and family exterminations. Now that Lin Yi came up and made this matter so serious, it really scared them.

"The second is to integrate the army. The number of forbidden troops is definitely not so large. After checking the empty pay, we must integrate. At that time, we must select the strong and strong to stay, and all unqualified ones will be expelled."

"The third is to assess the generals. Those who are capable will go up to those who are mediocre. Those who dare not accept will be beheaded without discussion. I will also send people to the various military brigades to investigate, and the supervising army will also take action."

"The fourth is that the frontier army also needs to make statistics, let all localities conduct self-inspection and self-inspection, and supervise the army to monitor, but there will be no major actions for the time being."

At the end of the meeting, many people were worried. It seems that Lin Yi came this time not only to investigate people, but also to use knives on the army.

Lin Yi is now an official of the Dianshuai's Mansion, and he also has his own government office, where he can have guards and personal followers.

Only Lin Yi and Gao Qiu were left in the hall. Lin Yi took a sip of tea and said to Gao Qiu in a very polite tone:
"Taiwei, I want to drop a group of suitable young generals for training. When there is something to do, I can send them out on official duties. This is a list. If the Taiwei thinks there is no problem, I plan to submit it to His Majesty jointly by the two of us. , let His Majesty personally approve it."

Gao Lian took the list, and there were as many as five or sixty names on it.

The first one is called Zong Ze, please be transferred to be the co-prefect of Dian Shuai's Mansion, the third in command of Dian Shuai's Mansion, the fifth rank, Zong Ze should be a judge in a certain state below.

There is also a series of military officers below.

Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Hao Siwen, Hu Yanzhuo, Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo, Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, Zhang Qing, etc.

Lin Yi wrote down all the generals he could think of, and he planned to recruit them and give them military training so that they could become available generals in the later stage.

After Gao Qiu saw it,

Many of them were found to be unknown.

He didn't know why Lin Yi wanted these people, but it was hard to refuse now.

"Okay, I agree."

The two of them marked on the document together, and Lin Yi handed it in for the emperor to review, but in fact he did not review it himself.

After the emperor's approval,

San Yaxia will notify them to recruit these people and rush into Lin Yi's door.

the rest,
Lin Yi handed it over to Gao Qiu to do it.

Eat the rice one bite at a time.

He was in no hurry.

It is not possible to reverse the corrupt atmosphere in the army all at once. Let Gao Lian lay the groundwork first, and then he will organize it carefully later.

As for Zong Ze, he is someone Lin Yi plans to focus on training, and he will directly replace Gao Qi when he grows up.
