The three of them sat down, and the guards brought tea. Zhang Yanling began to ask about the specific situation of Fusi in Nanzhen.
Shen Liang knew everything and introduced it to Zhang Yanling in detail. Jinyiweinan Town Fusi was originally the department responsible for military discipline and law within Jinyiwei. Here are the files of all personnel under Jinyiwei Yamen, of course the part that is public As for some non-staff personnel, they are not among them. Therefore, the scope of internal audit only includes those whose identities are disclosed.
Every year, all Jinyiwei officials and ordinary school lieutenants will be evaluated and checked to assess their faults. Of course, some cases of violations of duties and powers that occurred in the process of law enforcement by Jinyiwei will also be supervised. Normally, maintenance According to imperial laws and regulations, inspecting Jin Yiwei's behavior that violates court laws and whether they violate Jin Yiwei's internal disciplines is the standard to measure whether a Jin Yiwei is qualified or not.
In other words, there are only two standards for auditing, one is the general regulations of the imperial court, and the other is the internal disciplinary provisions. Needless to say, the first one must be observed and restrained by everyone in the Ming Dynasty. What is interesting is that within the Jinyiwei Discipline is as strict as military discipline. It is a clause that directly restricts the behavior of Jin Yiwei.
In addition to this authority, Nanzhen Fusi also has some other responsibilities. For example, the collection and classification of intelligence, and the guarantee of logistics affairs. These were not originally the responsibilities of Nanzhen Fusi, but in recent years, they have also been included in Nanzhen. Among the duties of Fusi. Of course, it is only part of the responsibility, the summary and classification of general information. The general office has its own dedicated manpower for the summary and classification analysis of all important information, and Beizhen Fusi also has corresponding manpower to do it. There is no need for Nanzhen Fusi to intervene. After all, that is the core function of Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei is a veritable secret service agency.
To put it bluntly, Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for the tedious and unimportant information gathering and document arrangement, which is equivalent to using Nanzhen Fusi as a coolie.
The topic gradually deepened, and when it came to the exercise of power of Nanzhen Fusi, Shen Liang felt that he needed to give some reminders. So he said: "Sir, I have to report some things clearly to you first, lest you don't understand the situation. I have offended someone. Although we, Nanzhen Fusi, have the power to audit the military discipline and law of the Jinyiwei Yamen brothers, in fact we will not embarrass our own brothers. Unless they violate the court laws and are stabbed, and things get messed up. It’s too big, otherwise we would just turn a blind eye.”
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Shen Qianhu, this is confusing. Why don't you have the right to use it? Isn't the Nanzhen Fusi established to supervise the military discipline and law of the entire yamen?"
Shen Liang said: "Sir, that's what I say, but it must be based on the actual situation. Think about it, the brothers in other yamen are working hard outside, why should we hold them back? Besides, if we say that we must strictly follow the internal military discipline If we conduct inspections and audits, we won’t even have time to eat and sleep. How can we do things in Jinyiwei Yamen completely according to regulations? After all, we are Jinyiwei Yamen, and everyone knows what we do. So generally speaking, it is Just go through the motions and don’t dig into it unless it’s too much.”
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "There is something in what you said. We all know what things are called? Is it possible that we are fully aware of some violations of laws and disciplines, but we just don't fulfill our responsibilities?"
Shen Liang noticed that Zhang Yanling seemed to be trying to trick him, he sat up straight and said with a smile: "Master Zhenfu, I am actually a kind person in humble duty. Master Zhenfu is new here, and I have the responsibility to tell Master Zhenfu about some things, so as not to avoid unnecessary trouble." Lord Zhenfu can’t figure out the situation. Some things don’t need to be explained so clearly. How can you not understand? If Lord Zhenfu really wants to find out clearly, you might as well ask Commander Mou, who will definitely give the town a clear answer. Mr. Fu gave a satisfactory answer."
Zhang Yanling touched his chin and nodded slightly. This Shen Liang was a smooth character, and he seemed to have some strength in this yamen. At present, he couldn't tell what kind of person he was, so there was no need to offend them.
"Forget it, let's talk about this later. I heard that our Nanzhen Fusi has three thousand-household offices under its jurisdiction. Why are there only two of you? Shouldn't there be another thousand-household office?" Zhang Yanling said.
"My lord, I don't know. Our South Town Fusi originally had three Thousand Household Offices under its jurisdiction. However, in the twelfth lunar month, Mr. Mou made adjustments. The original 3,000 Household Offices were all placed under the jurisdiction of North Town Fusi Xiao Town Fu. ." Shen Liang replied.
"Off? What happened in the twelfth lunar month last year?" Zhang Yanling frowned.
If it happened in the twelfth lunar month of last year, wouldn't it be the time when the emperor had determined that he would come to Nanzhen Fusi to take office? The emperor said he wanted to say hello to Mou Bin, so Mou Bin knew that he was about to take office, but before he took office What does it mean to place a thousand-household community in Fusi, Nan Town, under the jurisdiction of Fusi, North Town? Is it intentional?
"Oh, that's it. In fact, Xiao Zhenfu of Beizhen Fusi has long asked Mr. Mou to allocate manpower to Beizhen Fusi. Beizhen Fusi is busy with affairs, and the three thousand household offices under its jurisdiction are indeed short of manpower. Before that, A lot of our people have been seconded to help. Hehe, who said that we have a lot of people but are very idle? At the end of the year, Mr. Mou simply allocated a thousand-household residence to the jurisdiction of Beizhen Fusi. This was also early Just something planned." Shen Liang smiled.
Although it was an answer, to Zhang Yanling's ears, it seemed like he was trying to explain this behavior.
"That's it." Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
"Oh, by the way, although one Qianhu Station was taken away, some people were left behind, led by Chen Baihu. Chen Baihu is not a subordinate of Zhang Qianhu, but a personal guard of the governor. The horses will be dispatched directly by Master Fu." Shen Liang added.
"Where are my personal guards stationed? Why didn't I see them?" Zhang Yanling said.
"Oh, they are stationed here. Your Excellency may not have noticed. Behind the public house is their station. Your Excellency will be able to see them immediately. But you can't see Chen Baihu. Something happened in his family and he asked for leave to deal with it. We have gone. Now the two commander-in-chiefs are in charge of the manpower. Lord Zhenfu, would you like to meet them?" Shen Liang said with a smile.
Zhang Yanling stood up and said: "Let's go and meet them. After all, they are my personal guards. Naturally, I want to meet them. We will get along with them day and night from now on."
An intriguing smile appeared on Shen Liang's face, he stood up and said, "I'm here to show you the way."
After leaving the public house, there was indeed a row of houses, a row of houses built against the courtyard wall. When Zhang Yanling came in just now, there was a public house blocking it, and he didn't see what was behind the public house, so he didn't notice it.
In the open space at the door of the house, more than a dozen Jinyiwei soldiers were sitting under the roots of a tree and basking in the sun. Their hats and swords were thrown aside, looking very lazy. Several Jinyiwei captains saw Shen Liang and others approaching. , said a few words in a low voice, and the others quickly stood up and turned around to look.
"How behaved are you? Look at you, you look as dirty as beggars on the street." Shen Liang scolded.
The guards in gilded uniforms hurriedly began to dust themselves off and tidy up their clothes and hats. Smoke and dust were flying around them. Zhang Yanling frowned.
