Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 356 The wind rises in Sichuan
  Jin Yiwei.

Beizhen Fusi.

"Brother Tian, ​​I wonder if you noticed it?"

Xu Xianchun leaned on the official hat chair and looked at Tian Ergeng who was busy at his desk. He frowned and said, "This old boy Luo Sigong has been a little unusual recently. Many of his subordinates have left Beijing, saying that they are inspecting the Jinyiwei foreign stations. I urged everyone, but I always feel that something is wrong. Even if I want to inspect, there is no need to make such a fuss, Zhao Hai and the others have left the capital."

When he said this, Xu Xianchun looked outside the hall.

"How could I not find it?"

Tian Ergen's hand paused slightly, and he frowned and glanced at Xu Xianchun, "This old boy must have discovered something, so he tinkered with it like this."

"Then what does Brother Tian think it will be?"

Xu Xianchun lifted his robe and stood up, walking towards Tian Ergen, "According to my guess, this old boy must have obtained His Majesty's permission before doing these things. My people could have seen him enter the palace before."

"I don't know."

Tian Ergeng sighed softly and said: "Since we took charge of Beizhen Fusi, especially after Li Ruolian took charge of Flag School Town Fusi, this old boy has always been impeccable in his work in Jinyiwei. I want to find out something from him. What, it can be said to be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Yes."

Xu Xianchun nodded and responded.

With the passage of time, compared with when Zhu Youxiao Yuji came to the throne, the Jinyiwei was divided into several factions. Luo Sigong, Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, and Li Ruolian each controlled their own affairs. The division of powers of the Jinyiwei also changed. Under Zhu Youxiao's ingenious arrangement, they coexist in the current situation.

There is competition and calculation between each other, but there is no quarrel on the surface. This is exactly what Zhu Youxiao wants to see. First, let them check and balance each other and compete with each other. Under this situation, let Jin Yiwei gradually change.

If the factory security forces want to continue to develop, they must make corresponding changes. However, this change must not be impatient. They must slowly clarify each other's responsibilities, who is internal and who is external, what specifically needs to be done, and which powers must be taken back. , these must be coordinated at the highest level.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't do such a stupid thing as abolishing the factory guard forces.

If it is really going to be abolished, then the civil servants may not be happy about it.

The factory guard force is not only to protect the imperial power, but also to be the eyes and ears of the emperor. All matters outside the Forbidden City must be reported promptly and accurately.

"There is a saying, you are right."

Tian Ergen put down the file in his hand, with a bit of solemnity in his brows, "No matter what this old boy Luo Sigong wants to do behind our backs, one thing is for sure, this must have been approved by His Majesty, just like the previous Bei There was chaos in various parts of Zhili, and Duke Wei secretly left the capital for Liao Dynasty, which was also requested by His Majesty."

"Right now, Duke Wei has not returned from Liaodong. Brother Xu, does he know what this means? What Luo Sigong did must be a big deal!!"

When he was ordered to secretly leave Beijing and go to Xuanfu Town to investigate the smuggling case, the relationship between Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun had already been closely tied to Wei Zhongxian, and both Tian and Xu knew that they wanted to be in Jinyiwei. To gain a firm foothold, in addition to doing their best to increase the emperor's trust and reliance on them, they also had to establish a good relationship with Wei Zhongxian. After all, even if the Jin Yiwei were the emperor's own soldiers, they could not always stay with the emperor.

In this regard, people from the inner court have the greatest advantage.

What does the Luo Sigong family represent?
  They are the people who have worldly responsibilities.

Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun, their ancestors were once wealthy, but their family fortunes fell into decline, not to mention that their ancestors did not serve in Jinyiwei, so the people who gathered around them were mostly people with some background but not much, and they wanted to climb up. group.

As for Li Ruolian, he relied on the emperor's trust to take charge of the newly established flag school, Zhenfu Division. Therefore, some of the people gathered around him were mostly people with no background or connections, but these people also wanted to climb up. But few people know that Li Ruolian's hidden identity is the emperor's special Luan Guard Commander!

"Then what should we do next?" Xu Xianchun frowned and said, "You can't just watch it, right? When the Integrity Commission arrested people on a large scale, our Jinyiwei just listened to the orders and arrested a group of officials in Beijing, but after all, the credit is As for the Integrity Council, do we have to wait until Duke Wei returns to Beijing to discuss the rest?"

"Speaking of Duke Wei, I also remembered one thing. When we returned to Beijing from Shanxi, a group of people left the team and rushed to Sichuan, escorting a lot of gold and silver into Sichuan. Brother Tian felt..."

"This has nothing to do with us."

Tian Ergen waved his hands and said: "What we have to do now is to recharge our batteries. From the emperor's appointment in Beijing as a special garrison commander for the capital, to promote a group of generals to aid the Liao Dynasty, and to dispatch the three battalions to various places for defense. Brother Xu, haven't you already?" Do you see it? The emperor always makes strategic plans and wins thousands of miles away, so..."

"A case of extraoral smuggling!"

Xu Xianchun's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand and said to Tian Ergen.

"Be quiet."

Tian Ergen frowned and said: "Many people were arrested in this case before, but don't forget that some people who were hiding deeper did not dare to investigate further for various reasons. Moreover, Fan Yongdou, the leader of the thief, escaped. We were A lot of gold and silver were seized, but do you think the emperor will end this matter?"

"Certainly not!"

Xu Xianchun said with great certainty.

Not only Tian Ergen but also Xu Xianchun knew what the emperor's temper was like. Either he didn't do something, or he had to do it absolutely. Which of the turmoils that happened in the past was not like this?
  While Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng were discussing how to seize the opportunity and share the emperor's worries, Sichuan, which they inadvertently mentioned, was also brewing a storm, but Tian Ergen and the others were Not knowing.

……

Sichuan thousands of miles away.

stone pillars.

"General Qin, do you really need to report all the various situations of the vassals in Shu to the capital in detail?" A strong man wearing armor and carrying a sword frowned and looked at the silent Qin Liangyu.

"After all, these sects and vassals have all received the imperial edict from the capital and are rushing to the capital. But before that, His Majesty did not issue another edict to the stone pillar..."

"Continue to submit secretly!"

Before the strong man finished speaking, Qin Liangyu interrupted: "His Majesty issued a decree at the beginning, asking me to wait while Shizhu was training secretly to collect information about what the king of Shu, Huayang, Neijiang, Deyang and other vassals did in Shu. Because, before a new decree is promulgated, details of this matter must be sent to Beijing urgently every month."

"That's what it says."

He Huchen frowned and stepped forward: "But the current situation is different. All the vassals in Shu have left Sichuan for Beijing. If we submit these secret reports again, Your Majesty..."

Qin Liangyu replied: "It is true that the vassals in Shu left Sichuan and went to Beijing in response to the imperial edict, but their descendants did not leave Sichuan, and the vassal governments did not stop doing things in various places in Sichuan."

"I don't care about anything else. Since they did those dirty things, I have the responsibility to submit them to the capital. This is the decree given by His Majesty to me before. Just follow it. If anything happens, I will be responsible for it!"

"Here!"

He Huchen answered with cupped fists. Although he was a little worried in his heart and felt that this was somewhat bad, Qin Liangyu's attitude was so determined. As a general under his command, he could not say anything else.

Come to think of it, he, a general who was transferred to Sichuan under orders, could not stand the things done by the Shu vassals...
