He does not participate in the dirty work of arrests, arrests, interrogations, and assassinations. He is only responsible for supervising the military discipline and legal discipline within Jinyiwei, as well as some other trivial matters. In the notorious Jinyiwei Yamen, he is like a white lotus that emerges from the mud and remains unsullied.
The yamen. However, you may say that this yamen has great powers, but it does not participate in arrests, interrogations, and investigations. It does not seem to have any real power. But you may say that it has little power, but it controls the Jinyiwei with military discipline and law.
The behavior of people in the yamen and others.
The Jin Yiwei Tiqi and the school lieutenants were outside with their bright clothes and angry horses, and everyone looked at them with fear. But if Nanzhen Fusi caught the handle, the Jin Yiwei, no matter how arrogant, would be beaten back to his original form.
It can be said that Zhu Youtang took great pains in choosing this position.
How could Zhang Yanling not know Zhu Youtang's painstaking efforts? There is still a gap between this visit and the reward he hoped to get. Originally, Zhang Yanling fully thought that he could enter the Beijing camp to be the admiral and have the right to lead the army, but he never expected that there would be a relative
This restriction.
Now the next best thing is to work in Jinyiwei. It may be the most practical idea. Nanzhen Fusi seems to be a good place to go. Zhang Yanling really doesn't want to be dirty and hated by others.
"My Lord, thank you for Your Majesty's kindness. I will not disappoint Your Majesty. I will work conscientiously, be diligent and honest, and live up to Your Majesty's grace." Zhang Yanling knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "Okay, since you have no objection, then this matter will be done like this. You don't have to worry about it before the new year. I will take office after the new year. I also asked Mou Bin to make room for you. Then Nanzhen
Fu Si Wang Rui is not young at all. Not long ago he made a request to retire and become an official, and I approved his request. He will be allowed to retire in the next year."
Zhang Yanling kowtowed again and shouted long live to express his gratitude. Zhu Youtang ordered him to get back on his feet, chatted for a few more words, and allowed him to go to Kunning Palace to see the queen. Zhang Yanling then bowed and bowed out.
…
Time flies and the new year is coming.
Zhang Yanling lived a very quiet time in the past few years, and even refused gatherings with some dignitaries. He wanted to calm down and think about his future.
In the past half year or so, a lot of things have happened, and his mood has been very noisy. He needs to sort out his thoughts.
At present, his goal is being steadily advanced. Especially in terms of winning the recognition of the Honorable Group, it can be said that it has achieved initial results. Zhang Yanling finally understands that if he wants the Honorable Group to accept him, he must treat them
It must be useful. The nobles are actually more realistic than the civil servants of the outer court. Their desire for interests is unabashed. Unlike the civil servants of the outer court, they have complex ideas. They not only pursue power and interests, but also have other things besides this.
Unrealistic demands for emotional ideals.
Therefore, to a certain extent, it is not difficult to deal with nobles. As long as you can bring them benefits and maintain their status, the relationship will not be too bad. Grasp this, and you can be among the nobles.
Have a place in the group.
Judging from the current situation, after the relief, I have already gained their recognition. And I will become the son-in-law of Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Dingguo, which will greatly strengthen my status and voice in the Xungui Group. In the end,
One day, the entire Xungui Group will follow his own lead, which is exactly what Zhang Yanling wants to achieve. With the support of the Xungui Group, he will be more likely to touch the biggest pearl of power in the Ming Dynasty... military power.
That will be your guarantee to reverse your future destiny.
Of course, in addition to making great progress, regrets also arose. Especially in terms of personal emotions, Zhang Yanling felt a great sense of frustration. Regarding the issue of Tan Ruqing, Zhang Yanling has been unable to let go. Tan Ruqing left.
This is an unacceptable and unpredictable result for Zhang Yanling.
Empress Zhang is not to blame for this matter. Her starting point is actually understandable. Whether from the perspective of the Zhang family or the perspective of a sister who loves her younger brother, marrying the Duke of Dingguo is the best choice. Zhang Yanling herself
He also admitted this. However, in doing so, he hurt Tan Ruqing and made her leave him. This made Zhang Yanling extremely depressed and uncomfortable.
Zhang Yanling considers herself not the kind of person who tries to get into trouble, but if she tries to convince herself by saying that 'nine out of ten things in life will be unsatisfactory' and 'whatever you gain, you will lose something', Zhang Yanling is not willing to do so. He knows that Tan Ruqing is there.
The position in his heart. He was unwilling to lose her like this. Zhang Yanling always felt that his relationship with Tan Ruqing was not over, and maybe one day, Tan Ruqing would stand in front of him again.
Of course, this kind of thinking makes Zhang Yanling feel a little shameless. After all, he is a time traveler, and he still retains some inertia of thinking from later generations. In later generations, eating from a bowl and looking at the pot is the behavior of a scumbag, but now he actually does it
It's really shameless to think so openly. He already has Axiu and is going to marry Xu Wanyi. It's really inappropriate to expect Ruqing to come back to him. But this is the Ming Dynasty, here, this
This kind of thinking is completely normal.
The collision and contradiction between the two ways of thinking and values in later generations and today is actually the most difficult point for Zhang Yanling to adapt to. On the one hand, he blames himself for his shameless desires, but on the other hand, he feels that it is natural and justified. If it were not for his strong heart,
This conflict of contradictions may turn every time traveler into a schizophrenic.
Zhang Yanling actually secretly went to Baizhifang twice to talk about the family's mansion two years ago, but he only saw a few servants sitting in the yard chatting lazily in the sun, talking about the old lady, Ruqing, and even Xiaozhu was not seen.
After asking the neighbors in Baizhifang, they all said that Mrs. Tan and Miss Tan went to the south to spend the winter and were not in the capital. Only then did Zhang Yanling believe that Tan Ruqing was really not in the capital. Otherwise, Zhang Yanling had even decided to break into Tan's house.
, Tong Tan Ruqing made it clear face to face.
In addition to these things, Zhang Yanling also felt a greater sense of urgency. The New Year is approaching, and the seventeenth year of Hongzhi is coming. There is only more than a year left before the death of Emperor Hongzhi. Zhang Yanling does not know why Zhu Youtang
He passed away half a year after he was in his thirties, but if possible, he hoped to help Zhu Youtang avoid this disaster.
As long as Zhu Youtang lives, his life will be rich. This emperor's brother-in-law is really good to his family. He may not be a good emperor, but he is definitely a good brother-in-law. However, he may not be able to control Zhu Youtang's life and death, and he cannot
I don’t know where to start. The most important thing to do is to prepare for the future. This is why Zhang Yanling actively cultivates a good relationship with Zhu Houzhao and is even willing to work in Jinyiwei.
If Zhu Houzhao ascends the throne as emperor, the situation will be very different from today. Although no one can shake the Zhang family now, after the new emperor ascends the throne, the Zhang family will become a marginalized person like the current Zhou family. So before this
, we must respond and actively prepare. This includes accumulating more connections, gaining some power, and laying a solid foundation. This includes maintaining a good relationship with the future Emperor Zhengde, adapting to the changes after the new emperor takes the throne, and even making some necessary changes.
Compromise. Even to the point of maintaining a proper relationship with Liu Jin and others around Zhengde. Because by then, every detail may affect the fate of the Zhang family.
All these things are things that Zhang Yanling needs to consider and practice. Of course, Zhang Yanling also warned herself that these things are not something that can be accomplished overnight, and there is no need to worry too much about it. As long as you don’t forget your goals and plan the right way, you can definitely achieve it.
My own purpose. With my own knowledge beyond the times and a prophet of future trends, the fate of the Zhang family and myself will ultimately be under our control.
The New Year of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi finally arrived, and everyone in the Ming Dynasty was immersed in the festive atmosphere. No matter how hard and painful the past year was, it was all in the past. Whether it was poor people or rich people, they were all in the new year.
When the new year comes, forget everything, enjoy the joy of the festival, and look forward to the new year.
