Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 148 Imperial Commissioner

Chapter 148 Imperial Commissioner
The magistrate saw that the servants in the yamen did not listen to him, and the aide surnamed Zhao looked at him provocatively.

This made the magistrate feel an unprecedented insult. He picked up the gavel and threw it at Zhao's staff.

At this moment, the followers brought by the magistrate of Yan'an heard the movement and ran over. The magistrate saw his people coming, and gave another order:
"Take this madman down for me and beat him hard."

Those who follow the order will do it.The yamen servants in the yamen did not dare to stop him, after all, they were from the magistrate.

Staff Zhao looked at those followers with contempt, then took out his waist badge and shouted:
"Open your dog eyes to see clearly, dare to touch Jin Yiwei, do you want to rebel?"

The magistrate's followers heard that Jin Yiwei was too frightened to move.

Staff Zhao gave the magistrate a contemptuous glance, then turned and left, saying as he walked:
"The palace respects itself."

The annoyed magistrate of Yan'an pointed at the back of Zhao's staff:

"you you you!"

Wanting to scold his mother but afraid of ruining the literati's strength of character, he could only blow his beard and stare, watching Zhang Zongxian's cronies humiliate him like this, and then walked out of the yamen swaggeringly.

Not long after Zhao's staff left, Governor Hu's nephew came to the Yamen of the Jiazhou government again, found the prefect of Yan'an, and asked him why?The Taiping has not yet been taken down, and the tone is very rude.

The magistrate was still angry with Zhao's staff, and was questioned by this dude just now, and broke out on the spot, and unceremoniously beat up the nephew of the general and governor.

After beating the governor's nephew, the magistrate finally calmed down. When he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he shouldn't have made such a move.Zhang Zongxian has always been rumored to have a background in the palace. Although the new emperor ascends the throne, the inner court will definitely have to reshuffle.

But his backer may not lose power, and looking at the face of the staff, Zhang Zongxian is obviously confident.Cursing secretly that he was fascinated by wealth, he immediately returned to Yan'an with his entourage regardless of the clamor of the governor's nephew.

Mr. Hu, who was beaten up, saw that the magistrate of Yan'an had left, and no one in the Jiazhou yamen was ignoring him, so he could only hold his butt and go back to complain to Governor Hu.

By the time he returned to the governor's office, it was already September [-]th.

At the same time, Zhao's staff also came, Yansui governor's yamen.After withdrawing the prefect of Yan'an, Zhang Zongxian sent him to continue negotiating with the governor.

There is only one purpose, and that is to hold back the governor of Yansui and the general soldier, and prevent them from making drastic actions, even if they pretend to send the Taiping out.

After asking out Mr. Hu who had been beaten, he angrily said:
"Mr. Hu, your governor is so dishonest. You agreed to call Qingshuiying and Huangpu Chuanbao to our Taiping for business purposes. Why did you suddenly backtrack now?"

That Mr. Hu was not to be outdone, and said in a choked voice:
My uncle is the governor with the title of "Admiral of Military Affairs". All military affairs in Yansui Town are under the control of my uncle. What do you mean by giving your Taiping for business?

Zhao's staff thought that they would use bureaucratic accents. Is this still that dude?Then he lowered his posture and said:

My master naturally knows that the governor is in charge of the military and administration of Yanshou Town. It was all a misunderstanding before. My master said that if you have money, you can earn it together. The wool workshop can be given to the governor and the commander-in-chief.

Trouble Mr. Hu and tell the governor.Give me a few words of kindness.

After speaking, he took out 5000 taels of silver notes and handed them to Mr. Hu.

Mr. Hu got the bank note and went back to report.

When the governor saw that Zhang Zongxian was willing to give up the wool workshop, he thought he had caught Zhang Zongxian's deathbed, and thought of further forcing Zhang Zongxian to give up other properties until he was squeezed dry.

In addition, they had already received the edict of the new king's succession, and the inner court would inevitably undergo a major change, so they thought about taking advantage of this time to report Zhang Zongxian, presumably no one in the supervisory hall would speak for him.

Immediately, he asked his confidant to take the prepared playbook to the capital and hand it over to the boss behind him.

Let his nephew continue to talk, it is best to squeeze out his family property before the capital's order to arrest Zhang Zongxian comes.

In this way, Zhang Zongxian gave way every time, so that the governor would not force too much. Anyway, it was a verbal agreement plus some money. Now it depends on the game between the two sides in the capital.

Capital city, inside the palace.

Recover Hetao in three months and rebuild Dongshengwei?
Three months, three years is almost the same.If I really thought that I was Zhuge alive, even Zhuge Liang would go out of Qishan six times and return without success.

Zhu Youxiao, who got Zhang Zongxian's playbook, thought that Zhang Zongxian was bragging, but thought that what he said had come true, and Zhu Youxiao had to believe it, and Zhu Youxiao didn't dare to gamble with Daming's country.

It is really going to be frozen for thousands of miles, and the ancestors will not let him go down there.

It's not a bad idea to try it in three months. Since he has issued a military order, if he can't get the certificate at that time, he will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Immediately, Zhu Youxiao decided to appoint Zhang Zongxian as the imperial envoy, and stated that he would only have a three-month term of office. The decree said.

Instead, Zhang Zongxian was bestowed with a Shangfang sword, which was used to restrain the generals in Yanshou Town. Anyone below the general can be killed first and then played, so that he can act cheaply.

After all, no matter whether the Tumote Department was sincere or not, it was entrusted by the Ming Dynasty. If it sent troops in the name of the court, it would inevitably be opposed by the officials. Didn't Zhang Zongxian say that he would not spend every ration of the court?

That being the case, it depends on whether he is really as powerful as in the playbook.

This is the power of a typical ruler. If he does well, he will lead well. If he does not do well, he will be incompetent and deserve what he deserves.

Then Wei Zhongxian was asked to choose a person from the inner court to lead the team to Jiazhou to announce the decree, while monitoring Zhang Zongxian's every move.

At this time, Fang Congzhe was still the head servant of the cabinet. He had just experienced the case of moving the palace, and he was thinking of retiring from his old age and returning to his hometown. Facing the first imperial edict from Tianqi, Fang Congzhe naturally followed suit and transferred it directly to the six ministries for review.

The Six Departments did not want to disrespect the new king and leave a good impression on the new king. It was just a temporary appointment anyway, although it was a bit against the rules to ask a prefect to inspect the governor.

But as long as the emperor is happy, how can he find out the problem after three months? Over there, there are a lot of arrogant soldiers and powerful generals. What can he find out by a magistrate?I'm afraid that even if the imperial envoy dies suddenly, there will be no problem to be found.

The big bosses behind the governor, fellow countrymen, classmates, etc., after learning that the emperor ordered the investigation, did not dare to show up to Governor Hu. After all, the new king took office, and he still left a good impression, and the evidence was irrefutable.

We can only let people rush to inform Governor Hu to get ready and quickly eliminate the evidence.

In this way, from the edict issued by Tianqi to the drafting of the imperial edict by the cabinet, it is then submitted to Tianqi for review. After Tianqi’s review and approval, it is then submitted to the cabinet for approval. .

This set of procedures was completed in less than three days, which is an unprecedented administrative efficiency in Daming.

Wei Zhongxian has also chosen someone, his godson, Eunuch Li who is called brother and brother with Zhang Zongxian.As soon as Tianqi's father came to the throne, he recruited all the tax inspectors sent by Wanli, and this Eunuch Li returned to the capital.

It happened that he was also familiar with Zhang Zongxian, and he was Wei Zhongxian's godson, both of whom were of his own.Sending them to Jiazhou to proclaim the decree couldn't be more appropriate.

It was already September [-]th by the time Eunuch Li left Beijing with the imperial decree.This is the result of Master Ma trying his best to manage up and down.

In order for Eunuch Li and the others to rush to Jiazhou as soon as possible, they arranged for Li Ergou to bring the silver and the best horses for Eunuch Li and the others. The water for washing their feet had already been heated up before they arrived at the station, and everyone in the team was served Get comfortable.

So they hired someone to carry them away.Finally on September 25, we arrived at the newly built Yellow River Bridge.

Zhang Zongxian, who had already been notified, immediately took the Jiazhou Yamen up and down, greeted him on the bridge, received the angel who declared the edict to the Jiazhou Yamen, and set up the incense table. .Hand over the decree to him.

After receiving the imperial decree, Zhang Zongxian pretended to be very excited, and even fainted for a long time. Eunuch Li hurriedly asked what was going on?It's not that you want to copy his house, why are you so excited?
At this time Zhao's staff ran out and explained to Eunuch Li:
"Elder-in-law, you don't know! My master was assassinated a few days ago, and almost died. It was because of the revenge he brought against the governor!"

When Eunuch Li left the palace, Wei Zhongxian told him that he must listen to Zhang Zongxian and protect his own people.

"How dare you assassinate the imperial court official? Are they planning to rebel?"

Only then did Zhang Zongxian pretend to wake up, and took Eunuch Li's hand and said:
"Brother Wei finally sent you here. If you don't come again, you can only offer incense to Brother Wei."

"What did the elder brother say? The emperor has appointed you as an imperial envoy to investigate the case of stealing and selling military supplies in Yansui Town. He also gave Shang Fang a sword. When I left the palace, my godfather also told me to listen to my elder brother."

Well, it is enough to have the words of my brother.The governor of Yansui colluded with the general army and even dared to assassinate the official of the court. Now that the imperial decree has arrived, we should go to Yulin without delay and put the two of them in prison, lest his son rebel after learning about it.

"Everything is under the arrangement of the elder brother. The supervising army in Yansui Town has also received the order of the inner court, and they will never be allowed to mobilize a single soldier."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother, I will set off for Yulin now."

Without waiting for Eunuch Li to answer, Zhang Zongxian took the imperial decree, Shangfang sword, and a cavalry company stationed in the college, and directly charged towards Yulin.

He ate and drank on horseback along the way, and arrived at Yulin Town after a day and night of forced marching. Eunuch Li had originally rushed all the way here, but now he was forced to march all day and night and was tossed past.

The Jinyiwei who followed him were also tossed miserably. Fortunately, Zhang Zongxian had already confessed to Zhao's staff, and issued 500 taels of bills to each Jinyiwei as the hard work of this trip.

After arriving in Yulin, they were immediately surrounded by the cavalry regiment, the governor's yamen and the general soldier's mansion. At this time, the two had not received any news.

From the capital to Yansui Town, the post station along the way is the key monitoring object of the investigation department. It has already arranged for its own people, and the messenger who delivered the message to the governor of Yansui was intercepted and killed halfway.

After besieging the governor's office and the general soldier's mansion, Zhang Zongxian first came to the general soldier's mansion with the imperial decree and the Shangfang sword. After all, it was written in the imperial decree that he could use the Shangfang sword to kill the general soldier, so he had to find a soft persimmon first.

After Wang Zongbing knew that it was Zhang Zongxian who surrounded the Zongbing Mansion, he wanted to break out of the encirclement and call his own troops back, but was shot back by the platoon of the cavalry regiment.

After Zhang Zongxian arrived at the general's mansion, seeing that the general dared to resist, he directly ordered an attack, and Eunuch Li had no time to stop it.

The other generals in Yansui Town also came to the general's mansion with their family members. Originally, they came to help the general, but when they saw that the eunuch of the supervising army was also in Zhang Zongxian's team, they all retreated.

Zhang Zongxian first asked the supervising army to restrain these generals, and then he walked over with the imperial decree.Facing these hereditary generals of Yansui Town, he said:

"I was appointed by the emperor to investigate and deal with the Yansui commander-in-chief and the governor of Yansui. They colluded with each other to steal and sell military food. Are you leading the troops here to join forces with them? Or do you want to try Shang Fang, who was bestowed by the emperor on this official?" Is the sword sharp?"

Hearing that they are imperial envoys and Shang Fang's sword, these hereditary generals, they don't understand that Wang Zongbing is over!Quickly draw a clear line with it, and they all expressed that the imperial envoys are the only ones to follow.

After the cavalry regiment captured the Zongbing Mansion soon, they arrested the Zongbing's family, young and old. In order to prevent them from talking nonsense, they all shut their mouths when they were arrested.

Then he handed over the job of ransacking the house to Jin Yiwei.It is to show goodwill to Jin Yiwei, let them make a good fortune, and stop talking nonsense after returning to Beijing.

The commander-in-chief looked disconvinced, but he couldn't speak, otherwise he would have scolded him long ago.Zhang Zongxian looked at Wang Zongbing proudly, thinking that he wanted you to send someone to assassinate me. If you dare to provoke me, I will kill your whole family.

Both Eunuch Li and the supervising army felt that Zhang Zongxian had done something wrong. How could he break through the general soldier's mansion and tie up the general soldier's family in a town without investigation and interrogation.

When the two were about to go forward to dissuade Zhang Zongxian, Jin Yiwei, who ransacked the house, came out and reported to Eunuch Li in a low voice with excitement. A glance at the supervisor.

He followed Jin Yiwei and ran into the General Military Mansion.Originally, Zhang Zongxian had already prepared his speech and wanted to deal with the matter, but when he saw that the cheap brother suddenly changed his face and ran to the General Military Mansion, he thought they had discovered about the Taiping being in the grassland.

Hurry up and follow in, thinking in my heart that it is really impossible, I can only kill people to silence them, and then plant Yansui Town to rebel, and organize civilian outfits to wipe them out.

After being stared at inexplicably, the supervising soldier also felt that something was wrong, and followed him into the General Military Mansion.

When these people arrived at the backyard of the General Military Mansion, they saw Jin Yiwei's men smashing the wall and digging the ground, as if they were looking for something?
