Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun's participation in the mausoleum sacrifice did not attract too much attention from Ji Gang. In his opinion, it was just a matter of saving face. Since Xia Xun is still the Duke of the state, it is natural for him to participate in the mausoleum sacrifice, just like those princes in Beijing. Their only function is nothing more than a decoration at such a major ceremony, and other times they are just eating and waiting to die, and they have no influence in the political arena.

But afterward, rumors spread that Yang's son was awarded the title of General Wude, and his sense of speculation but relatively insensitive to politics finally played a role, and he began to feel uneasy.So, the emperor went to the Dabaoen Temple, and the news that Xia Xun was accompanied by the foreign minister was sent to his desk. Ji Gang finally became nervous: "Could it be that Duke Fu is going to be of great use again?"

The two of them have completely lost their face, because they disobeyed the prince's request last time, and now even Zhu Gaochi, who has always been very polite to him on the surface, is a bit honest with him. If Duke Fu comes out again at this time, For Ji Gang, it was a blow to the head.

What he is most worried about is that the rumors are correct. If the emperor really sends Fuguogong to conquer Annan, it means that Fuguogong Yang Xu will replace Chengguogong Zhu Neng and become No. 1 in the army. The army department was originally the second prince Zhu Gaoxu The biggest backer, if Yang Xu can rely on his military exploits and seniority to firmly sit on the throne of the first general in the Ming army, the crown prince will definitely rely more on him. At that time, it is not impossible to sacrifice himself to win back Yang Xu.

However, his apprehension only lasted for a day, and he was completely relieved.

First, someone came to report that when the emperor left the Dabaoen Temple, he looked very unhappy and seemed very unhappy. After leaving the Dabaoen Temple, he immediately returned to the palace and did not ask the Duke of Fu to accompany him.Logically speaking, this is not a gathering of friends, everyone eats and drinks well, and everyone goes their separate ways after leaving the shop. The emperor is the king, and Yang Xu is the minister. How can this minister not send the king back to the palace respectfully?

There is only one explanation: the emperor is unhappy, don't want him to send it!

Immediately afterwards, in the early morning of the next day, the emperor issued a decree that the British public Zhang Fu officially assumed the post of General Conquering Yi, took over the military affairs of conquering the South, and sent people to work in the army. Obviously, there were more detailed orders that should not be made public. he.And these days the rumors that Fuguo Gong Yang Xu will be the general who conquered the barbarians have been rumored to be self-defeating.

The second prince sent a ball and crown to celebrate each other, thinking that his own strategy had played a role, Chen Ying especially was a little smug, thinking that he had exhausted his strategy and had the talent of Zhuge.His only regret is that this result cannot be further improved. If the emperor becomes disgusted with the rumors, instead of using Yang Xu, he will use the Duke of Qi Qiu Fu, the power of the second prince will inevitably rise again. position, it can also compete with it.

Zhu Gaoxu also mentioned this regret, and Chen Ying stroked his beard and sighed: "Unfortunately, our strength in the cabinet and the six ministries is too weak. If there is someone who can speak up in this critical place, we can advise you at the right time." Your Majesty, you will be able to complete your merits and virtues."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was speechless.

Chen Ying's words are very clear: "It's not that my old Chen's strategy is not good, but that your second prince can win too few people among civil servants, and it is precisely these people who are doing things around the emperor!"

In any case, being able to stop Yang Xu from commanding the army is still a satisfactory thing. The Second Prince Party is still very satisfied with his victory.

Ji Gang was also satisfied. All the above made him believe that it was a fact that Yang Xu fell out of favor.As for the matter of Yang's paternal son being named General Wude, it is obvious that the empress empress gave her great help. If the emperor no longer regards Fu Guogong as an important minister, but only treats him as a royal relative, then Ji Gang will not be able to do it at all. There is no need to be afraid.Don't use civil relatives to understand the royal family. The weight of an imperial relative in the emperor's heart is far less than that of a capable minister.

After learning the details of the court meeting, Ji Gang returned home contentedly.

As soon as he got home, Ji Younan, the commander of Jinyi South Town, rushed over, holding a box in his hand. Ji Gang was in a good mood today, and smiled when he saw it: "Younan, what rare thing did you get?"

Ji Younan said with a smile: "My lord, the rare treasures in this mansion are already comparable to the Dragon King's Crystal Palace. How can there be treasures here in a lowly position that can catch your lord's eyes? What I sent to my lord today are two craftsmen. The high-quality pistol just made by the bureau, I immediately took it and gave it to the adults to play with."

"Oh?" Not to mention, Ji Gang is good at martial arts, and he really likes weapons, so he immediately led Ji Younan to his martial arts arena in the back house, wanting to try the gun.Ji Younan opened the box, but inside were two brand new and shiny pistols, which were very beautiful, and there were guns, gunpowder, mallet and other accessories inside.Ji Younan grinningly took out a gunpowder bag, tore it open and filled the gunpowder into the chamber, saying: "It is often difficult for soldiers to know the amount of gunpowder when they are used. If you put less, the lethality of the firecracker will be insufficient."

Ji Younan quickly poured the gunpowder, pounded it, filled it into the wooden horse, and then put in the lead to pound it, opened the fire door and set it on fire. The action was very quick, and at the same time he said: "This medicine bag is still given to the craftsman by Yang Xu. It was proposed by the Bureau of Craftsmanship, according to the most appropriate dosage, divided into packages, torn apart when used, the dosage is accurate, and easy to use. The Bureau of Craftsmanship is still thinking about a new ignition method according to his statement, but it is a pity Lah, he is standing aside now, when the research is done and reported to the emperor, it will be your credit, my lord, haha, we are the predecessors planting trees, and the descendants are enjoying the shade!"

"Smelly bastard who let you go back to your mother! Who is our predecessor? Yang Xu is called stealing a chicken, but making a wedding dress for someone else! Hahaha..."

Ji Gang laughed loudly, Ji Younan prepared the firecracker, held it to Ji Gang with both hands, and said with a smile: "My lord is right, the metaphor of a humble job is not appropriate!"

Ji Gang complacently took the firecracker, and shot "bang" at a wooden target not far in front of him for practicing guns and swords, and sawdust flew all over the place. Ji Gang was overjoyed and said, "Fire guns are really better than fists and kicks! Good things, really good things! Now you are in charge of craftsmanship, and in the future you will have new things, no matter if they are short or long. Get me some of them!"

When Ji Younan saw that this flattery was hitting Ji Gang's itchy spot, he was more elated than Ji Gang who received the gift, so he agreed in a hurry.

Ji Gang proudly said: "Yang Xu is nothing to worry about now. Before he finds a better opportunity, he can't move him anymore, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Let him be an idle father-in-law for a few days. This time, he lost the emperor. Chongxin, next time, he will be able to bring his family back to ruin!"

Speaking of this, Ji Gang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of Yang Xu's charming wives and concubines. If he ruined Fu Guogong, and then got his wives and concubines to play with them wantonly, how happy it would be!Thinking of this, Ji Gang became excited. What he coveted was not the beauty of Yang Xu's wives and concubines, but their identities. Authority, not what the female color itself can bring.

But when he thought that Yang Xu's official wife was the daughter of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion and the sister of the current empress, this evil thought disappeared instantly. Even if he could kill Yang Xu, he couldn't get Yang Xu's wife and concubine away. Secretary of Jiaofang, if he gets it in his own hands, even if he can find out a few unforgivable crimes and kill Yang Xu, with Xu Miaojin around, it is impossible for anyone to bully the Yang family arbitrarily.

Ji Gang turned the firecracker in his palm, put it back into the box, and suddenly asked in a ferocious voice: "What's going on with that old Wang Huiba of Chen Ying?"

Ji Gang handed over the matter of monitoring Chen Ying to his first confidant, Ji Younan. Now that Ji Younan is the governor of Jinyi South Town, he has not let go of this job. In fact, he is transforming the function of the South Town to be the same as that of the North Town, and vigorously develops it. Secret agents to make up for the shortcomings of Beizhen.

Ji Younan hurriedly said: "Chen Ying has been very restrained recently, this old boy always bites people everywhere, and now he doesn't even do much biting, he is very peaceful!"

Ji Gang sneered: "Will I let him go in this way? Those who stand in the way of the old man will be trampled to death! Those who trip the old man will be trampled to death! Yang Xu is nothing to worry about, now it's time to deal with Chen Ying Already!"

In the back garden of the Chen Mansion, there is a pavilion, a table, a group of three, some side dishes, and a pot of sake.

Chen Ying stroked her beard and asked, "What's happened to Ji Gang recently?"

"Yes! I found out that the imperial court sent troops to Annan, and the rich families of Annan and even Champa all sent envoys to Beijing with a lot of money to show their loyalty to me. Naturally, their intention was to invite pets to buy well, so as not to affect their own interests. At the same time, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity Get some benefits. However, except for the Champa envoys who hold credentials and can go to the emperor through the Ministry of Rites, those barbarian wealthy families are not qualified. Therefore, Ji Gang squeezed a lot of gold, pearls and jade from their hands on the grounds of helping them introduce precious."

After Yu Shiji finished speaking, Yin Zhongyue said: "The lowly position has also found out the news. Ji Gang used the pretext of investigating rebellion and returning to officials for corruption, to extort money, extort officials and people, and seized many officials and people's fields, real estate, and shops."

Chen Ying hurriedly said: "These news, do you have the witnesses and physical evidence? It must be more detailed. If you want to overthrow Ji Gang, you can't just rely on rumors!"

Yin Zhongyue and Yu Shiji nodded solemnly together: "My lord, don't worry, when you do things in a humble position, especially when dealing with people like Ji Gang, you will naturally be extra cautious."

Yu Shiji said: "However, this Ji Gang is considered careful. Those innocent officials and people who were blackmailed by him took money, and he naturally raised his hand to let them go. Tell him to catch the handle, always get him into the imperial prison first, ask for confessions, search for evidence, and then use the name of lenient to extort money from his family. Report the evidence of the crime to the emperor, and let those people lose their personal wealth!"

Chen Ying said with a deep smile, "Well, Ji Gang, you're not crazy enough!"

He stood up slowly, walked to the edge of the pavilion, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at a clump of flowers and trees in the courtyard, pondered for a moment, and said, "The emperor has ordered me to impeach the Minister of Beijing, Luo Yi, who behaves suspiciously." , There is a lot of evidence to prove that he is also a party member of Wei Guogong and Changxing Hou. This evidence was found out by Ji Gang. The cunning rabbit is not dead, how can the lackey cook it? You continue to investigate, the more evidence you collect, the better, but, Don't confront Ji Gang head-on now, we... have to continue to show weakness, show weakness even more, and tell him to go crazy without any scruples!"

Yu Shiji and Yin Zhongyue got up and said with admiration, "Yes! I will obey your lord's order!"
