Xiao Chen has already thought of Wang Changlian's shame. However, Wang Changlian cannot really be blamed for this.
If a small sixth-grade official does not welcome the return of the prince, he will not even be qualified to go to court.
But it was such an opportunity that Ma Yunshan firmly grasped.
Perhaps, after Kuranari's death, the hatred in his heart has been suppressed, just waiting for one day to take revenge.
But maybe, Ming Chengzu was also waiting for such a person to appear in his heart. Even if he had his own Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, as long as he was willing to contain Dongchang, he could ignore everything else.
"If there is no Ma Yunshan, there will be Zhang Yunshan and Li Yunshan. The things that the emperor wants to arrange cannot be changed by the existence or absence of a certain person." After taking the file, Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Wang Changlian smiled with a little appreciation: "You see very clearly! However, there is one thing you must not have expected."
"Oh?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but raise his head.
"This Ma Yunshan is Cang Cheng's son-in-law." Wang Changlian said with a smile.
"Son-in-law?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but be startled. This kind of relationship was not an ordinary relationship. After Cang Cheng was killed by himself, he also paid attention to Cang Cheng's background, but he really didn't notice this situation.
"It was also after Ma Yunshan was suddenly transferred to Jinyiwei by the emperor that I summoned all the people from the Ministry of Rites to inquire about his situation. Afterwards, one person reported to me alone."
"Cangcheng only has one daughter, but he is not married to Ma Yunshan?"
"Cang Cheng was an aloof man and started a family late. Before his biological daughter was born, his wife had not had children for many years. He was worried, so he adopted a maiden in the market. It was called adoption, but he never took her home.
He grew up next to his biological parents. After Ma Yunshan arrived at the Ministry of Rites, his talent was appreciated by Cangcheng. In addition, Ma Yunshan was only thirty years old at the time and unmarried, so he acted as a matchmaker and married his adopted daughter to Ma Yunshan.
And this adopted daughter was also very unlucky. She had an adopted father who was a minister, but she had never entered the minister's house. She married a husband who was in charge, and within a month of getting married, she fell ill and died." Wang Changlian said slowly.
"Dead?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but frown.
Is this Cangcheng's adopted daughter destined not to get along with the officials of the imperial court?
"Ma Yunshan's current wife was married a year after the death of Cangcheng's adopted daughter. It has been so long that most people have forgotten that Ma Yunshan and Cangcheng were in a relationship. So, even if the emperor does not give his permission, this Ma Yunshan is also
I will have trouble with you." Wang Changlian laughed.
"I will study Ma Yunshan's files carefully when I get back. Since he rose to power with great fanfare, he should also step down with great fanfare." With that, Xiao Chen stood up and was about to say goodbye.
"Don't you want to see Xiao Yu?"
"I've been a little busy lately and I've been upset, so I disappeared. I'll come see him again after I finish the things at hand." Xiao Chen turned around and hurriedly walked out of the living room.
...
A few days later, in the government hall of Baoding, the prefect Li Huaigu was sitting at the table, with his left hand on the table, supporting his head, and thinking hard.
The Baoding City Guards, the only armed force under his command, was taken over by Dongchang.
Although the guards are not very obedient and sometimes even look down on themselves, and their reputation in the eyes of the people is not very good, in the final analysis, this is Baoding Prefecture's own armed force.
It's very convenient to use it for a while and do some personal things for yourself.
Nowadays, the functions of the guard army have been taken over by Daning Dusi. Not to mention doing things for themselves, even when they go in and out of the city gates, they need to get off the carriage and be interrogated just like the common people.
If this continues, what's the point of being the prefect of Baoding? With such a meager salary, how can I accomplish what I want to do?
The Baoding City Guards still have to be re-established to regain control of Baoding City from Daning Dusi.
"My lord, my lord." The official from the government office trotted in in a hurry.
"What are you so anxious about?"
"Jinyiwei, the people from Jinyiwei are here." Taking a few deep breaths, the government officials hurriedly reported the news.
"Jin Yiwei? The Dongchang just left, why are the Jin Yiwei here again? Where are they? Please come in quickly?" Li Huaigu stood up in a hurry and looked towards the gate of the government office.
"I haven't arrived at the government office yet, but it's at the gate of the city." The colleague took a long breath and said, "A distant relative of mine came to Baoding to stay for a few days. I sent him out of the city this morning. When he came back, he was in the city.
I saw the Jin Yiwei at the door. There were more than a dozen school captains, majestic. The officers and soldiers of the Daning Dusi who were guarding the city asked them to dismount and undergo inspection, but the Jin Yiwei did not want to do it, and the two became deadlocked. Thanks to me, I was in civilian clothes and came back in a hurry to report the news to you."
"We, the Baoding City Guards, stopped the people from Dongchang and detained two of their horses, which resulted in a fatal disaster. The people from Daning Dusi were at odds with the Jinyi Guards. Do they want to follow in the footsteps of the guards?" Li Huaigu said.
Face of surprise.
"This Jinyiwei is an ordinary person. Like Dongchang, it is an agency directly under the emperor. If Daning Dusi is not wise this time, I am afraid he will suffer a big loss."
Li Huaigu rolled his eyes and pulled the government official over to him: "Come on, let's go write materials and report to the court on the rebuilding of the Baoding City Guards. This is an opportunity."
At the gate of Baoding City, a group of fifteen Jinyi Guard captains, riding fat and strong Jinyi Guards horses, stood behind Jinyi Guard Qianhu Zhang Jin, staring eagerly at the young man in Baihu uniform in the center of the doorway.
Zhang Jin was sitting on horseback, dressed in a well-dressed Qianhufu, looking particularly energetic. The embroidered spring knife that everyone envied at his waist showed his "noble" status.
Holding the horse's reins with both hands and tilting his head, Zhang Jin looked at the thin figure of the other party: "Even in the capital, Jin Yiwei patrols on horseback. Do you really ask me to wait for me to dismount and enter the city?"
Looking at Zhang Jin, the hundreds of households showed no sign of timidity: "Your Majesty is a thousand households, so you should understand the importance of military orders. The villain was ordered to guard Baoding City. The order from the superiors is that everyone must be strict when entering and exiting the city gates."
During the interrogation, those on horseback must dismount and lead them into the city."
"I wonder why you want to dismount and enter the city?"
"This little man doesn't know, maybe because the city gate is narrow, he is afraid that the horses will be frightened and rush into the people who are going in and out." The hundred households said loudly.
Zhang Jin smiled faintly: "When I was patrolling in the capital, I was also riding a horse. I didn't hit pedestrians in the capital, but when I got to Baoding City, I would hit the people of Baoding City?"
"This little guy doesn't know. He's just following orders. Please don't make things difficult for me, Qianhu." The hundred households said loudly.
On both sides of the city gate, the people who had planned to go in and out saw the confrontation between the two parties and for a while they did not dare to go in or out. In a short time, many people had gathered around.
"Is this the famous Jin Yiwei in the capital? He is really majestic."
"Isn't it just that if you dismount, you will be inferior to others? What's the point of embarrassing the soldiers who are defending the city?"
"I heard that in the capital, as soon as the patrol team of Jinyiwei came over, the people had already stepped aside."
"If you don't get out of the way, are you waiting to be trampled to death by that army horse?"
"Animals like horses are not human after all. Once frightened, they don't care what is in front of them."
"Oh, just wait. If they don't leave, we won't be able to enter the city."
The people waiting on both sides were either carrying luggage or carrying farm tools. They were all busy people. After waiting for a long time, I couldn't help but become a little irritable and whispered to each other.
Although the voice was low, a few words floated into Zhang Jin's ears.
Listening to the people's discussions, Zhang Jin couldn't help but get furious.
If the hundreds of households in front of him had not stopped him, a dozen of him would have already entered Baoding City, and there would be no such comments from the people.
Regardless of whether they are officials from the government or the public, Jin Yiwei has never been afraid of them. However, if there are no special circumstances for such ordinary people, it is best not to provoke them.
In the fight between officials and the people, they may have taken advantage at the time, but once this information is left, it is hard to say to what extent it will be used in the future.
I came to Baoding City with the purpose of finding fault with Dongchang. If I didn't find the handle on Dongchang, I would end up in shit. It would be hard to explain when I got back. It was still unknown whether I could continue to wear the Qianhufu.
"Since the regulations of Baoding City are like this, we will do as the Romans do." Zhang Jin jumped off the horse and gave instructions to the captains behind him.
