I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 340 Kneel in public!

Chapter 340 Imperial Envoy, Imperial Guard

The guarding eunuch and the noble group are like two parts of the balance.

Support each other and pull each other.

Once the balance is lost, the impact will be beyond Li Tian's estimation.

This is also the reason why Li Tianming knew that Ma Dazhong had a problem before, but did not touch him.

However, Xu Jingnian's investigation and the evidence in hand are enough to completely break this balance.

It stands to reason that after Li Tian got the evidence of Ma Dazhong's corruption and embezzlement of military pay, he should immediately deal with it seriously.

But in this way, no one will be able to prevent the nobles from being the dominant family. If they secretly give and receive, conceal, and conceal the report, and investigate the affairs of the Tianxiawei, it will be even more difficult.

It's not that Li Tian doesn't plan to deal with them, but that he is waiting for a suitable opportunity, an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and attack Xungui, Ma Dazhong and others at the same time.

This timing was when the investigation team of Li Qing and others intervened in Nanjing.

Only then is the time for Li Tian to really clean them up.

But now that the time has not come, he can only wait.

To Li Tian, ​​it was nothing to do so, but to Xu Jingnian and others, it seemed a bit unfair.

One must know that they finally came to the capital after overcoming many difficulties and obstacles.

However, the result of waiting was a sentence, go home and wait for the news.

Who can stand this situation.

After Li Tian explained his plan to him, seeing that Xu Jingnian was still unwilling, he continued,

"Xu Jingnian, I also know that you are unwilling, but with the current situation in the court, even I have no better way.

At this time, Nanjing is already a hellish existence for you. I will give you two choices first.

One is to return to Nanjing with the secret mission I gave you, and continue to investigate their corruption, but in this way, I can't guarantee your own safety for you!

The second is to join the newly reorganized Metropolitan Procuratorate. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to rise to the top within a few years. "

After hearing the answer given by Li Tian, ​​Xu Jingnian hesitated and finally made a decision.

"Your Majesty, I want to go back to Nanjing to continue the investigation."

Li Tian was neither surprised nor surprised by his answer.

Surprisingly, he did not expect that Xu Jingnian would be such a hard-headed person, that he would give up the great opportunity to make his way to the top.

What didn't surprise him was that Xu Jingnian had a persistent personality. This kind of personality made him not pay attention to other things when he didn't fully understand one thing.

This kind of character is stubborn at best, but at worst it is actually adhering to the dead and digging into a dead end.

Whether it's a dead end or a confession, for an official, it is a fatal flaw that affects his official career.

But for those in power, this is a very precious quality.

So Li Tian immediately ordered,

"Xu Jingnian listens to the order!"

"Chen is here!"

"I'm first granting you the post of imperial envoy, responsible for investigating the corruption of the eunuch Ma Dazhong and others in Nanjing! I will give you the handle of the Emperor's Sword as a seal!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Wu and other Jin Yiwei, and continued talking.

"Jinyi School Lieutenant Jiang Wu Tingfeng... Today, I have licensed Er and others to be guards with swords in the first four ranks of the imperial court. With the waist card, you can directly enter the palace to face the saint... the full-time protection imperial envoy Xu Jingnian..."

One hell, one heaven.

Xu Jingnian didn't expect that something that was hopeless would suddenly turn around. He transformed into an imperial envoy holding Shang Fang's sword.

Although the rank has not changed, the imperial envoy was appointed by the emperor himself, which is equivalent to patrolling the hunting on behalf of the sky, which is a great favor.

He was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Compared to his excitement, Jiang Wu and the others were a little confused.

They were originally just a little Jinyi school lieutenant of Jinyiwei South Town Fusi.

This time, he was directly promoted to be an imperial guard, although the treatment did not change much.

But the change of status is one in the sky and one in the earth.

What are the imperial guards? They are the ones who can directly enter the imperial palace in a fair and aboveboard way. They are the ones who can meet the emperor every day.

This kind of treatment can't even be enjoyed by fourth-rank Beijing officials.

To put it bluntly, the imperial guards are just the emperor's personal bodyguards.

But the most expensive is the word "Yuqian".

It is possible to face the saint directly. In this era, not everyone can do it.

Previously, Xu Jingnian was only the supervisor of the censor, and they all had to address him as a lord. If he hadn't become an imperial envoy now, their identities might have been reversed.

Before a few people woke up from the surprise that fell from the sky, Li Tian continued.

"Although I have given you the titles of imperial envoy and imperial bodyguard, the situation in Nanjing City is strange at this time, and it is hard to guarantee that some people will do big rebellious things.

You will be in danger, so I think it's better for you to investigate secretly by hiding your identity. "

Several people clasped their hands at the same time,
"It's Your Majesty, the ministers will follow His Majesty's orders, and will never reveal their identities unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Haha, it's the best!"

After giving these instructions, Li Tian turned to Wang Fudao, who had recovered most of the time,
"It's too chaotic here today. You can arrange for their seal badges later, and distribute them as soon as possible, preferably within three days!"

Although Wang Fu didn't quite understand why Li Tian was in such a hurry to send them away, he still nodded and said,
"Old slave obeys!"

……

After this accident, it is estimated that Jingxin Temple will not be able to open in the future.

After Li Tian dealt with the most important matters, he still didn't wait for Zhuang Shaoyou's reply.

So he didn't intend to wait any longer, and walked towards the capital with everyone except the Dongchang garrison.

shortly after they left.

Once out of the remote mountain depression, a few figures gradually emerged.

They are Liu Gang and others who escaped from the underground tunnel.

Agura seems to be grieving and angry at the loss of a brother.

Dare to climb ashore from the water, he couldn't help rushing to Liu Gang and questioning,
"Liu Gang, you promised us with your own words. After the matter is completed, half of the treasure will be shared with us. How do you say it now.

The treasure is gone, and I also lost a brother, how are you going to compensate us! "

Facing the furious Agula, Liu Gang did not appear to be flustered.

He said calmly and calmly,
"Agula, you have seen it yourself. If Zhuang Shaoyou hadn't appeared suddenly, we would have easily captured the emperor. At that time, let alone a mere treasure, it would not be possible to seal the border."

"I don't want to listen to these excuses, I just want to know what you want to do next!"

With one hand hidden in the sleeve, Liu Gang gently stroked an object, and said with a sneer,
"The mechanism to open the treasure requires two things. One of them is in my hands. Without this thing, even Zhu Gaochi would not open the stone door to take out the treasure."

"As long as this thing is still there, as long as Zhang Yiliang is still in our hands, we will have the bargaining chip to negotiate with His Majesty today!"
