My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 94
What did Xu Jingchang do wrong?
Just this one sentence made Ji Gang's soul fly away... He came to beg for help, and the fault was also his, how dare he blame Xu Jingchang?People are saying the opposite of the truth, questioning themselves.

After all, Ji Gang underestimated the extent of Xu Jingchang and treated him like a child.

This is also a common problem of playing too many low-end rounds. Although he knows that he is not simple, he just can't imagine how deep he is... At this point, Ji Gang hastily knelt down and kowtowed.

"The governor...Xia Yuanji and others conspired to instigate the censor to impeach the humble official, and they will file a letter tomorrow... But there is something in the palace today, and the humble official cannot enter the palace no matter what, so I can only ask the governor for help. The humble official is confused, I have never come here to pay my respects to the Governor, and I hope that the Governor will forgive me. I also ask the Governor to look at Jin Yiwei’s huge family property, and tell Your Majesty that I am grateful for my humble position, and Jin Yiwei will also be grateful to the Governor.”

After finishing speaking, seeing Xu Jingchang was indifferent, Ji Gang was really anxious, so he could only continue to kowtow, and after a while, blood appeared on his forehead.

Xu Jingchang still held the fishing rod in his hand, and sighed softly: "Ji Gang, it stands to reason that I shouldn't care about this matter, but since you're here, and I've seen you, I can't refuse you. Kowtow to me, bitter Pleading, I can't be indifferent. Forget it, let me ask you a few questions."

Ji Gang hurriedly raised his head, and said: "I beg the governor to inquire, the humble post knows everything without saying nothing."

Xu Jingchang said: "Did your Jin Yiwei take money from the ransacking?"

Ji Gang paused, and could only nod helplessly, "It is true that some people are greedy for ink, but the brothers have traveled hard from Yingtian to Hangzhou, and the humble job must give the big guys some benefits, otherwise there will be no one to work."

Xu Jingchang ignored his explanation, but continued: "How many are in your hands?"

Ji Gang hesitated a little, and could only helplessly say: "There are almost 10 taels... The humble official will go back immediately, and send the money to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion as a filial piety to the Metropolitan Governor, and the humble official would not dare to ask for a tael of silver."

Hearing this, Xu Jingchang put away the fishing rod in his hand, got up and left.

"Since Commander Ji Gang views this matter in this way, even if I want to help you, I can't help you, so do it yourself!"

Ji Gang turned pale with shock, and rushed over quickly, saving Xu Jingchang's thigh.

"Great Governor, although I have studied in my early years, I have a rough background, I don't understand the court situation, and I don't understand government affairs. If there is something wrong with what I say, it is an unintentional mistake. I don't dare to ask the Governor for help, I just want to Please give me some pointers, even if you die, you have to die clearly, you can't be a fool!"

Hearing what Ji Gang said, Xu Jingchang finally sighed.

"Get up, I'm too lazy to bow my head and talk to you."

Ji Gang got up tremblingly, but he didn't dare to raise his head, he could only bow his body like a primary school student, listening to the lesson.

"Ji Gang, you said that you don't understand the court affairs, and don't understand government affairs... Then I will solve the problem from the court affairs. Do you know the situation of Jin Yiwei at this time, why are you so passive?"

Ji Gang was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said: "It's Xia Yuanji and those people who are troublesome, and they intend to frame the humble official!"

"Wrong!" Xu Jingchang said bluntly: "The matter lies with Jin Yiwei himself... Let me ask you now, what is Jin Yiwei?"

"As the son of heaven is close to the army, the commander will report directly to His Majesty." Ji Gang said flatly.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "You can tell your Majesty secretly... But let me ask you, where does the Jinyiwei get its funding? You have so many soldiers, they go around to scout for information, and help you arrest people. Their salary comes from Where is it from?"

This question hit Ji Gang's vital point. As a commander, he couldn't answer it for a while.

Jin Yiwei was a monster from the very beginning, and the division of powers and responsibilities was very unclear.

Jinyiwei originally originated from the Gongwei Division and belonged to the pro-military establishment. From this reason, Jinyiwei should belong to the Dudufu of the Five Armies.

But then Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jin Yiwei to monitor all officials, arrest criminals, and report directly to the emperor.In this way, Jin Yiwei seems to belong to the inner court.

But the 24 yamen of the inner court are not the boss of Jin Yiwei.

Even though the East Factory was later established to surpass Jinyiwei, there was no clear affiliation relationship between the two, and it all relied on the personal prestige of the factory minister.

Most of the time, Jinyiwei has to obey the arrangements of the East Factory, but if they meet a powerful Jinyiwei governor like Lu Bing, they can also achieve anti-customer-oriented and surpass the East Factory.

All in all, Jin Yiwei is a freak that no one wants.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies cannot control it, the inner court cannot directly govern it, and the outer court has no way to intervene.

Xu Jingchang repeatedly asked about the source of Jin Yiwei's salary... a considerable part of it was military salary according to the military standard.

But Jin Yiwei is different from ordinary soldiers and horses, and they still have to rely on the inner court to allocate some money.

It's just that these two things are not the entire income source of Jin Yiwei... In fact, Jin Yiwei holds great power, and he will definitely not treat himself badly, extort, pervert the law, and even commit crimes.

It is said that Lu Bing, the most famous governor of Jinyiwei, likes to do this.

In addition, when handling a case, ransacking the house and confiscating it is even more commonplace.

Jin Yiwei is definitely not short of money, but it is really difficult to tell where the money comes from.

"Great governor, we Jinyiwei do dirty work for His Majesty. Sometimes, we need to buy eyeliner, which costs a lot. Even if the money put in the hands of a humble official is not from a humble official, it must be spent to serve His Majesty."

"Then can you tell me where the money is going?" Xu Jingchang asked lightly.

Ji Gangyao cried, "Governor, this matter cannot be explained at all!"

"So what's the problem if people take this opportunity and say that you are filling your own pockets and embezzling the silver that should have been sent to the treasury? You still want me to speak for you and let me rush into the palace. If I follow your wishes, I will be sued." Down Xia Shangshu, so what? Frame important officials of the court, your Commander Ji Gang can be desperate, but I can't, I have a hereditary title, with such a big family, I will accompany you crazy? You also You underestimated me too much!"

These few words were so sharp that they tore apart Ji Gang's thoughts, and let them hang out in the sun for a clear view.

He just bullied Xu Jingchang when he was young, thinking that he could be manipulated easily, and once he said that Jin Yiwei was being bullied, the governor would desperately speak for Jin Yiwei.

Relying on Xu Jingchang's status and connections to overthrow an important court official... As for the consequences, Ji Gang never thought about it.

It's a pity, he doesn't want to, Xu Jingchang can't.

"Ji Gang, to be honest, I really don't want to see you, and I'm too lazy to speak for you. The commander of Jinyiwei is no more valuable than the green turtles in the Qinhuai River. Anyone who wants to do it, grab a lot!"

Ji Gang was sweating profusely and trembling all over.

Xu Jingchang laughed again, "I shouldn't utter bad words, but I can't help it! When you just came in, you cried and kowtowed. It looks very obedient, but in fact, you don't treat me like a child and think you Your performance can be useful!"

Xu Jingchang hehe said: "It doesn't matter, these things won't work... You have to think clearly, Jinyiwei's accounts will continue to be chaotic, and without Xia Yuanji, there will be other courtiers. And I also tell you clearly, change to Jinyiwei Commander , It’s much easier than changing to a household secretary or a financial expert.”

Ji Gang took another breath, his face pale.

"Great Governor, I really deserve to die, I wish I could kill myself right now... I am confused, and now I am in chaos, everything is at the discretion of the Governor, what to do, I still hope for advice, even if I want the head of the humble officer, I deserve it. "

Xu Jingchang waved his hand, blocking Ji Gang's words.

"Don't talk nonsense, you have to understand that the imperial court is not Liangshanpo, it is a place with rules. Since Jinyiwei belongs to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, the annual expenses must go to the accounts of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to the Ministry of War Appropriation request, understand?"

"Understood!" Ji Gang nodded, but he wondered: "Governor, if this is the case, the Jin Yiwei will not be able to do anything with the money given by the Ministry of War. They can only act as a facade and guard the palace."

"That's why we need a special budget!" Xu Jingchang said: "The Commander of Jinyiwei can't just obey His Majesty on the surface. The special budget every year has to go to the Supervisor of Rites and report it to the emperor, and it will be counted as inner court expenses. It can be allocated from internal funds. In any case, it can’t be like this, you raise your own funds, right? What is that? A country within a country?”

Xu Jingchang's words can be said to be eloquent, pointing directly at the disadvantages of Jin Yiwei.

This famous yamen has not even clarified the most basic establishment and budget.

In this way, it is not easy to be caught by others.

Ji Gang thought about it again and again, and felt that it made sense.

"Xiaozhi understands... It's just that someone is impeaching Xiaozhi right now, and Xiaozhi should..." Ji Gang raised his head and stared at Xu Jingchang.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "So what about impeachment? They can impeach you at will, and His Majesty can't just punish you without asking indiscriminately. The key is who will handle this case, as long as the person handling the case has a public heart, that's it." .”

Speaking of this, Ji Gang, even a fool, understands that the problem is not Xia Yuanji's impeachment, but that the case should be handed over to Xu Jingchang!
"Governor Governor, it's really an eye-opener. It's an eye-opener. I have learned more today than in the past few decades. It's a waste of time." Ji Gang leaned over and said, "Then tomorrow, the Governor will Personally request a thorough investigation of Jin Yiwei?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "There is no reason to check yourself. You go to prepare the roster of Jinyiwei now. If there are any messy things, you will also present them to me. I will take these things and go to Xia Shangshu. The court is not to fight Fighting and killing, bullying others is a matter of sophistication and fair trade. Jin Yiwei is not fooling around, and they will naturally let you go. You have to think clearly about what to do in the future."

Ji Gang was horrified, and hurriedly said: "The humble job is to obey, and everything is under the command of the governor."

Xu Jingchang nodded slightly, waved him back, and then picked up the fishing rod again.

After a while, a fat black fish took the bait... It's time for extra meals tonight!
