Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Looking at Yu Ping who looked down at the files, his subordinate official reported respectfully: "Dutang, Song Zhangxing and Ding Lixing are here. www"

According to the system in the early Ming Dynasty, the highest leader of the Jinyiwei was the commander of the third rank, usually a relative of the state and Xunchen, and there were assistant officials under him, including the commander Tongzhi of the third rank, the commander of the fourth rank and the suppressor of the fourth rank. Each two.However, from the mid-Ming Dynasty, the commander of the Jinyiwei usually added the title of commander of the capital or even the title of the commander of the five armies. His status has risen from an eagle dog to an important minister of the state. Therefore, for a long time, the Jinyiwei has usually honored the title of the commander. In order to be equivalent to the "dutang" of the left and right capital censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the governors and governors with the titles of deputy capital censors and Qiandu censors, of course the duties of the Jinyiwei to supervise all officials are the same as those of the capital inspectors in the three legal departments. It doesn't matter if the hospital is close.

"Let them come in." Yu Ping said without raising his head, and after a while, two generals from the military law department, who can be regarded as local officials, signed up for an interview outside the house. At this time, Yu Ping put down his pen and ordered. "Get out of here." With an order, Song Guoping, who was in his early 30s, and the dark-faced Ding Youyin walked in one after the other. Without saying a word, they first knelt down and saluted See you again. Seeing this, Yu Ping waved his hand Let the two get up: "There is no need to be polite, just say, there is something important."

In Jinyiwei, there were originally only Qianhu, Deputy Qianhu, Baihu, Shibaihu, General Banner, Xiaoqi and other official ranks similar to the Ming Army Guards, but the above official ranks conflicted with the current Zheng Jun's title level, so after exhausting After brainstorming, Yu Ping came up with the idea of ​​replacing thousands of households with palm punishment, hundreds of households with rational punishment, and general banner with palm squad.

Of course, judging from these official titles, it can be seen that Yu Ping must have borrowed the class division of the original Dongchang's one thousand households in charge of punishment and one hundred households in charge of punishment. In fact, it depends on the individual's specific title in the Military Law Experience Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"If you go back to the capital hall, the Nanjing branch discovered something strange a few days ago." Song Guoping reported immediately. It's been more than a year, even if he became a monk halfway, Song Guoping's business level is already quite good, so he can keenly find the problem from the trivial things. "Let Ding Lixing report the details."

Ding Youyin is not an old man of Zheng Fan. He was originally the arresting leader of the Qing Dynasty's Jiangsu Standard Office, and he is quite familiar with the third-rate and nine religions in Nanjing and the Jiangnan area. , but after Zheng Jun conquered Yingtian, the Military Law Department still saved this person and awarded him the official position of the sixth grade, thus making him serve the Military Law Department wholeheartedly.

"Dutang, I was ordered to monitor the mansions of the feudal princes who had recently entered Beijing. It turned out that although the mansions are not connected with each other, they all sent people to an antique shop in the west of the city to buy calligraphy and paintings. Because of this, I became suspicious and secretly sent people to investigate. I went to the bottom of this shop and found that it was only opened after the liberation.”

Ding Youyin narrated what happened, and it was true, even though the Zhu Da brothers had experience in activities behind the enemy lines and arranged for the governments to act carefully, how could they escape under Zheng Fan's careful observation with a magnifying glass.

"I found that in the past few days, the number of people coming and going from various prefectures has increased significantly, and they stayed for a long time." Ding Youyin continued to report. "What makes me even more alarmed is that a person with a Huguang accent did not come out after entering the store yesterday, and shortly after this person entered the store, the shop assistants delivered goods to various prefectures."

"You did a good job on this matter." After hearing Ding Youyin's report, Yu Ping praised him. "You step back first." The knowing Ding Youyin stepped back, and Yu Ping's eyes fell on Song Guoping's face. "Mincai, what do you think of this?"

"Teacher," Yu Ping was a teacher of the Boys' Camp, so Song Guoping could shorten the distance between the two by using this title. "Combined with the reports from the eyeliners buried in various mansions, we know that something big must happen recently." Song Guoping paused, as if he was under some unknown pressure, but finally said under Yu Ping's encouraging eyes come out. "The students were still wondering how the various governments could rely on to cause chaos, but now it seems that Dingrupp may have changed."

"That's right, but it's possible." Yu Ping slowly raised his head, looked directly at the carvings on the beams, and said with a heavy tone. "Nowadays, the king's army is marching northward, and the south of the Yangtze River is empty. In Nanjing, there are only a thousand soldiers patrolling the streets and yamen servants left in the district. If someone cooperates with others, a big change is in sight."

Hearing Yu Ping's exclamation, Song Guoping's tone became serious: "Dudang, the first phase of the Northern Expedition has come to victory, at this time we must not let the painstaking efforts of these kings and more than [-] soldiers be ruined once. "

"Of course I can save it, but this matter is related to the Ming Dynasty and involves the palace. If it cannot be handled properly, it may damage the reputation of the king, and it will also add countless disturbances and twists and turns to the establishment of the king on behalf of the Ming Dynasty." Yu Ping looked a little hesitant at the moment. . "If this is the case, I'm afraid we will not be able to redeem his sins even if we die."

Song Guoping's face changed, obviously realizing the seriousness of the problem, but he quickly said again: "Dutang, in fact, the civil strife in each prefecture is not to be feared, there are only a few thousand mobs in the area, although the garrison in Nanjing city is not There are many, but gathering the left-behind department and the Wangfu Yiwei will definitely make a big difference, and it will be able to lead the snake out of the hole, but in case Liu Bu goes eastward along the river"

Yu Ping was shocked: "Come here, has the report from the Wuchang branch been delivered?"

Soon, a school lieutenant brought the file, and Yu Ping threw it aside after seeing it: "Is there any file from the last few days?"

The answer was no, Yu Ping suddenly stood up and walked a few steps indoors: "Something is wrong. The report from Wuchang should be reported every two days. Even if there are some twists and turns on the road, it shouldn't be only what was left ten days ago."

Yu Ping's eyes fell on Song Guoping's face, and Song Guoping swallowed hard: "Dutang, isn't it?"

"Come on, hurry up and contact the Jiujiang branch, let them pay close attention to the movement on the river." After finishing speaking, Yu Ping continued to order. "Song Zhang Xing," Song Guoping responded. "You go to Wuhu immediately and monitor the river." Song Guoping responded, but didn't take a step. Yu Ping looked at him impatiently. "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Dudang, I have heard that part of the Eastern Fleet has entered Zhenjiang, and the garrison regiment of Songchong Governor's Mansion will also sail to Changzhou." Although Zheng Kezang's order was hidden, Song Guoping was a local snake after all. I found clues from the subtleties early in the morning, so I suggested. "Should I immediately ask for an order to mobilize the two departments to station in Nanjing?"

"Is this something you can worry about?" Song Guoping was so scared that he didn't dare to say any more, so he stepped back and looked at Song Guoping's back. After a few steps, it seemed that something had finally been decided. Finally, he sat down and picked up a pen and became anxious. When the memorial was completed overnight, he rushed to the door to drink. "Come here." He followed him in. "This is an urgent item. Send it to the front of the army immediately. In addition, I ordered people to prepare chariots and horses. I will go to the palace to meet my wife."

Before Yu Ping got up, someone outside reported loudly: "Dutang, King Shucheng and his eldest grandson are asking to see you."

King Shucheng?Immediately, a figure like a bamboo pole appeared in Yu Ping's mind: Shucheng King Zhu Cixin, the third generation Yiwang Zhu Houxuan, the fifth generation heir to the throne from the same line as the third son, can be said to be the current Yiwang Zhu Yihao's descendant Grandfather.But this person, what is the purpose of coming to see me at this time?

Thinking of this, Yu Ping immediately ordered: "Please meet King Shucheng in the side room."

Zhu Cixin, who was in his 70s, and Zhu Yiming, who was in his forties, were ushered into a side room tremblingly. Ping knelt down: "Please help Dutang!"

The second monk Yu Pingzhang was puzzled, but he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly ordered someone to help them up. After the weeping old county king sat down in the room, Yu Ping understood everything from his muddy voice. It turned out that Zhu Ci Xen has been in poor health since he arrived in Fujing. He didn't know that his grandson Zhu Yiming had joined the conspiracy of the kings. It was only because of today's turmoil that he realized the seriousness of the problem. When he asked about it, he turned pale with shock. , Immediately dragged his grandson to make the first complaint.

"Yu Dutang, three generations of King Xia's ancestors and grandchildren have protected my Zhu family. Now King Xia has made great contributions to the country by expelling the Tartars and restoring half of the country. I hate that some people in the clan think that this country belongs to the Zhu family. In 800 years, the Zhou family still has a day to fall, so how can I, the Zhu family, be an exception?"

"You don't need to be excited, old man. It's very good that you have such an idea. I think the grandchildren in the future will be young and vigorous, and they will be encouraged by others." Of course, Yu Ping wanted to repay this old man who knows current affairs, so he cut Zhu Yiming's crimes as soon as he opened his mouth. It's spotless. "It's never too late to make up for it."

Zhu Cizhen let out a long sigh of relief. He had experienced the scene of the collapse of the earth during the replacement of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and naturally he would not want to experience that scene again, so he, who only wanted to end his life, saw Yu Ping let go, and immediately urged him to kneel down The grandson of the land confessed the truth: "Nie Zhan, you haven't explained the truth clearly!"

Facing his old and strong grandfather, Zhu Yiming was still a little resentful, but he had already arrived at Jinyiwei, so he naturally accepted his fate. He immediately confessed everything, and finally said in a shocking sentence: "Yesterday, the envoy of Liu Zhen arrived in Beijing. It is stated that the forward has already passed Chizhou, counting the days, today must pass Caishiji, so the governments have agreed to do it tonight."

Yu Ping couldn't listen to the following words anymore, he hurriedly left a sentence, take good care of King Shu's grandparents, and rushed out the door, but he was still somewhat sober, knowing that riding a horse in a busy city would surely leak the news, so he tightened his grip Wai Song ordered Ti Qi to set off, and he boarded the car again, and slowly headed for the Xia Palace
