Madam Guo knew Zhu Tianjiang's personality very well. It was right for the eldest prince to go the Guo family route to find his mother-in-law, Concubine E, if it was not convenient for him to come forward directly. However, the eldest prince and Concubine E should not use such a coercive approach.
Mrs. Guo knew that Zhu Tianjiang would never accept such a 'deal'.
In the last three-yamen meeting, the eldest prince Xuan Ming lost a round. He was looking for an opportunity to deal with Zhu Tianliang once, but he didn't expect that she was pregnant in ten months. In the eyes of the eldest prince Xuan Ming and the second prince Xuan Can, Zhu Tianliang was pregnant.
This security envoy sent from heaven is definitely not good for them, but fortunately this guy handed over the whip. Without the whip, to the eldest prince, Zhu Tianjiang is just a toothless tiger, and he can do whatever he wants to deal with it.
tidy.
Early the next morning, Zhu Tianjiang led a group of people from the mansion to Shuntian Street. Yesterday he took a fancy to a mansion here, which was a guild hall set up in the capital by coastal merchants from other places. Zhu Tianjiang asked Zhu Er to find it
After defeating the owner of the guild hall, he took over the guild hall after discussion and intimidation. In this way, the Dafeng Chao Security Procuratorate officially had a foothold.
The guild hall was luxuriously decorated. Zhu Tianjiang simply tidied it up and immediately reported it to the Ministry of Household Affairs for review. A new yamen was established in the Dafeng Dynasty. The Ministry of Commerce had to pay the money and reported it to the Jiumen Admiral's Office to arrange the necessary yamen officials.
.Zhu Tianjiang acted vigorously and resolutely, and all the office facilities were organized in one morning.
When Zhu Tianjiang returned to the house, Guo Ying and Yu Gege were busy counting the gifts. The two women were sorting the items into the warehouse like housekeepers, and the servants in the house were all sweating profusely from exhaustion.
"Tianxiang, I promised you yesterday to wait for us at home, but you didn't keep your word." Guo Ying said dissatisfiedly when she saw Zhu Tianjiang coming back.
"Sister Ying'er, Brother Tianjiang is now an important minister in the court. He has a lot of things to do." Yu Gege said with an understanding smile.
Guo Ying pouted her mouth unconvinced, "Oh, what an important minister in the court, grandma said, this is an offending job, and the courtiers may jointly file a lawsuit in a few days."
Zhu Tianjiang smiled and did not argue with Guo Ying, but Guo Ying was right. Zhu Tianjiang opened the door to accept gifts yesterday, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of some ministers in the DPRK.
In the palace, the old lady Wang Bingkun was in the study room angrily scolding Zhu Tianjiang for his despicable behavior.
Emperor Chengwu listened with a wry smile. He felt that this old guy was more lenient than the emperor himself. But with Prince Jing no longer there, Emperor Chengwu really couldn't do anything to him.
"I say, old master, you were the one who recommended Zhu Tianjiang, and now you are the one who wants to take him down. What do you want me to do?" Emperor Chengwu spread his hands and asked.
"Your Majesty, you will get melons if you sow beans. What kind of seeds will bloom will lead to melons. Zhu Tianjiang is a naughty boy. He is best suited to train soldiers and horses in the army. Your Majesty must let this boy do honest work.
This is simply a wrong arrangement." Mrs. Wang said seriously.
"Old Master, you can't say that. Although Zhu Tianjiang is a bit naughty, he has the right temperament to act boldly. I think it is very suitable for him to do this job."
The old lady curled her lips and said, "Hmph, if you say this guy leads troops to fight, I applaud him with both hands. But if you say he has an upright character, I don't believe it. May I ask, Your Majesty, which minister in my Dafeng Dynasty has opened a brothel to make money? And
Which minister accepts bribes and openly asks for money? This guy is not honest himself, how can he supervise others?"
Emperor Chengwu's head hurt when he heard it, but everything Wang Taifu said was true, and it was hard for him to refute.
"Old Master, do you think who should do this job?"
Taifu Wang's chest puffed up, "I am willing to risk my life to regulate the court affairs for my Dafeng."
Emperor Chengwu smiled bitterly, saying that with Wang Bingkun's temperament and character, he was really suitable for this job. But what Emperor Chengwu needed now was silver, not to send all ministers to death row.
"Old Master, I know that you are upright and upright, and you are dedicated to our Dafeng Dynasty. But I have a certain purpose in letting Zhu Tianjiang serve as the security envoy. I ask you, if the old master also serves as the security envoy,
Can you raise 80 million taels of silver for me, Dafeng, within half a year?" Emperor Chengwu looked at Wang Bingkun and asked.
Only Prince Jing and Zhu Tianjiang knew about the matter itself, but Emperor Chengwu believed in Wang Bingkun's character and would not reveal the news.
Old Mrs. Wang was startled and shook his head, "Your Majesty, I want to uphold the rules of the court, and the matters of making money should be left to the household department, but I don't have the ability."
Emperor Chengwu smiled slightly and said, "Old Master, I asked Zhu Tianjiang to serve as the security envoy. Not only do I need to rectify the court discipline, but I also want him to get money for me. So I think the old master should just wait for a few more days with peace of mind.
Yue. If Zhu Tianjiang is really just out for his own selfish interests, I will never let him off lightly."
Taifu Wang looked at Emperor Chengwu with confusion. He suspected that Zhu Tianjiang did not have this ability at all.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Tianjiang is talented and intelligent, and veterans of his literary and military talents admire him very much. However, no matter how good his literary talent or military skills are, I don't believe that he can make money. Even if he plunders all the officials in the capital, there won't be much money."
Emperor Chengwu smiled and shook his head. This old master regarded the courtiers as too incorruptible. Not to mention the past private savings, even the treasury silver had to be peeled off layer by layer when distributed, so that it could not be used properly.
, not much at all. The entire Dafeng Dynasty is now in an inverted situation where the country is poor and the officials are rich. If you want to reverse this situation, it is not enough to just rely on a good heart, you must use some strategies.
"Old Master, let's wait and see whether Zhu Tianjiang can do this job well. However, if Old Master is worried about Zhu Tianjiang bending the law for personal gain, I can arrange an errand for you."
Taifu Wang was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, as long as I can help our Dafeng Dynasty, I will die without mercy."
"Okay! Then I have Mr. Taifu. Zhu Tianjiang said that he wants to invite a highly respected courtier to serve as the senior counselor of the Security Procuratorate. I think that Mr. Taifu is just suitable for this position. If Mr. Taifu is not afraid of hard work,
Then I will appoint the Grand Tutor to concurrently take on this idle position, specifically to keep an eye on Zhu Tianjiang for me." Cheng Wuhuang said seriously.
Wang Bingkun clasped his hands into fists and fell to his knees with a plop, "I obey the order!"
Emperor Chengwu showed a smile of relief and arranged for Wang Bingkun to keep an eye on Zhu Tianjiang, which was equivalent to killing two birds with one stone. The old guy in the province knew how to kneel down and remonstrate every day when he had nothing to do, and he could also help him contain Zhu Tianjiang's power. With the old master
They came forward and others set a trap for Zhu Tianshang. As long as he violated the rules for something as big as that, Taifu Wang would definitely make his head hurt.
Taifu Wang returned to the Imperial Academy to make arrangements and took office immediately. When Zhu Tianjiang saw the imperial edict in Wang Taifu's hand, he was so angry that he wanted to curse. Good guy, he didn't do anything, so the emperor sent him a "father"
.However, in front of Mrs. Wang, Zhu Tianjiang was too embarrassed to say anything else. He could only thank the old master profusely and praise the old master like a flower.
"Sir, this senior counselor doesn't have anything specific to do. You are old now, so you can come when you want. If you don't want to, just stay in the house. If something happens, the students will go to your house in person to ask for advice." Zhu Tianjiang said politely.
.
"No, since the emperor has appointed me as a senior counselor, as a minister, I must be strict with myself. Mr. Zhu, since I have taken up this position, I will move here to handle errands tomorrow." Taifu Wang said meticulously.
Zhu Tianjiang was so depressed that he wanted to go to the emperor. This old guy was a little too serious. Didn't this make things difficult for him?
"Sir, if you say this, you will kill the students. You are a veteran of the previous dynasty, and students do not dare to trouble you."
"The emperor's order cannot be violated. As long as you are on duty for one day, you must devote one day to my Dafeng." Taifu Wang said stubbornly.
Zhu Tianjiang was helpless. Since the old guy had to stay here, he should get a big house and raise a man of leisure.
In less than three days, the plaque of the Dafeng Dynasty Security Procuratorate was hung on the gate. Lord Chu Yun, the nine-door admiral, personally sent 200 officials, and these people became Zhu Tianjiang's subordinates from then on.
Chu Yun invited Zhu Tianjiang to a banquet that day but he didn't go. Seeing Chu Yun's arrival, Zhu Tianjiang quickly explained. In fact, Chu Yun did not want to find a way to connect with Zhu Tianjiang.
Tuo. Because the queen had a conflict with Zhu Tianjiang that day, after returning to the harem, the queen immediately received the news that Zhu Tianjiang was awarded the security envoy. The queen did not expect that this security envoy had great power, which could be said to exceed the six important ministers.
The queen was worried that Zhu Tianliang would take advantage of the opportunity and be detrimental to the faction to which the second prince belonged, so she asked Lord Chu Yun to come forward and be a peacemaker.
After hearing this, Zhu Tianjiang didn't say anything. He didn't dare to promise Chu Yun anything. There were many factions of officials in the court, but they still had to follow the four princes. Without taking action on the eldest prince and the second prince, he couldn't do it first.
Let’s arrest the third and fourth boys.
With the office location and facilities and personnel ready, Zhu Tianjiang began to appoint officials with a stroke of his pen. Zhu Yi was appointed as the inspector of the Security Procuratorate, Zhu Er, Xia Qing and Chang Wu were appointed as general judges. Even Daniel became
The list was submitted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the officials did not dare to make the decision, so they submitted it to the emperor. Emperor Chengwu approved it all without saying a word.
Officials of the Dafeng Dynasty were all waiting to see how Zhu Tianjiang planned to light these three fires, but for five consecutive days, there was no movement from the Security Procuratorate. Many officials felt relieved. It seemed that after Zhu Tianjiang received the gift,
I'm really embarrassed to find fault.
Zhu Daguan did not find fault with Zhu Tianjiang, but Wang Taifu found fault with Zhu Tianjiang every day. Zhu Tianjiang did not have to go to court, and did not get up until three o'clock in the morning every day. Every time he arrived at the Security Procuratorate, the old lady slapped the table.
He shouted loudly and angrily scolded him for his "late arrival and early departure" behavior, which made Zhu Tianjiang feel dizzy as soon as he saw Taifu Wang.
On the tenth day after the establishment of the Security Procuratorate, the first decree was finally issued. This decree was not only aimed at the officials in the capital, but also faced the entire Dafeng Dynasty.
The Security Procuratorate announced that all officials below the second rank of the Dafeng Dynasty, regardless of whether they have merit or merit, have or have no titles. Officials within the capital and within 200 kilometers of the surrounding areas who commit corruption must hand over all corrupt property within three days.
Officials can be handed over in the form of secret reports, and the Security Procuratorate will let the past pass. If they are not handed over after three days and are found to be corrupt, they will be killed without mercy!
When Zhu Tianjiang took office as a new official, the first fire was so poisonous that he only gave the other party three days!
