Chapter 219
"Your Highness, I miss you so much for not seeing you for a long time."
On the banks of Xin'an River, Zhu Yihai was fishing under the shade of trees. Zhang Guojun, the commander of the Grand Master Jinyiwei, shouted and ran from afar. Zhu Yihai frowned, "Don't be shocked by the lonely fish, the newly-catched nest."
"Slaves deserve to die," Zhang Guojun quickly lowered his voice and smiled.
"Do you know the trash I learned from the Tartars? Don't you be a slave?"
"It's Weichen who is talking nonsense. Look at Weichen's stinky mouth," he immediately slapped himself a few times.
"Okay," Zhu Yihai called his brother-in-law, "Call you here today, do you know what you are doing?"
Zhang Guojun smiled a little reluctantly, and was uneasy. He thought that when King Lu went south and was placed in Taizhou, the Zhang family of Ningbo was the hometown clan of the late Prince of Lu, Zhang immediately welcomed and helped the placement. Not only did he give the Zhang garden transformed from the old Ziyang Palace in Taizhou to King Lu to live in, but he also married Zhang Guojun's sister to King Lu for a retouch.
It can be said that after King Lu arrived in Taizhou, the Zhang family did provide a lot of help, money, people, etc. were quite generous.
Zhu Yihai naturally did not forget these things. After he raised his army, he even borrowed tens of thousands of taels of silver from Zhang Guojun, and the IOU was still in the hands of Zhang Guojun. Afterwards, he was also the first to grant Zhang Guojun the title of commander of the Jinyiwei, but he actually didn't trust Zhang Guojun very much.
During the days when the Three Wushou Northern Expeditions, he also received some impeachment from many officials in the cabinet to Zhang Guojun, which can be said to be not wronged.
"Have your Highness heard someone talk nonsense?"
"Oh, it seems you know it in your mind, too?"
"Your Highness, you are all wronged. I am staying behind, and I am working diligently and dedicated to safeguarding Your Highness's foundation..."
"Didn't you use the banner of being alone to sign officials and make wishes everywhere, sell official positions and titles, or even take the opportunity to merge land and accept contributions? These are all the wronged people to accuse you?"
"Your Highness, you're unfair."
Zhu Yihai shook his head.
He knew exactly what Zhang Guojun did and would have to deal with it this time. He originally planned to handle the Yanzhou affairs and return to the business after the process, but he took the initiative to send his sister Zhang Concubine.
And when you first came to Yanzhou, you were not honest. "You are the commander of the Jinyiwei. This is the trust of the Guyiwei. The Jinyiwei is the court, but you used it to make money and accept bribes, and even use the power to bully others. This is why you didn't take Orphan seriously. Have you forgotten that the Guyiwei is not only the Jinyiwei, but also the Dongchang, and the Imperial Camp army?"
"What did you hide from others the ugly thing you did? It's the minions you think you are well-educated, but in fact they just secretly expose you with the money you rewarded."
Zhang Guojun suddenly sweated all over.
The old man, who was originally elegant in daily life, was also the Shilin Gong of Jiangnan who had joined Fushe. Although he was far less romantic and talented than the fourth young master, he had a wealthy family and was usually a good person to call friends.
After becoming the commander of the Jinyiwei, in the past three months, I have been enjoying the wind and rain.
This feeling of holding power is unparalleled.
Even the tens of thousands of taels of silver that I lent to the governor had already returned ten times.
"Your Highness, those people came to ask for mercy. I couldn't help but reluctantly accepted it. There was absolutely not much. It was all about human relationships and nothing could be done."
"Hmph, what a kind of relationship, can't tell the difference between relationship and corruption and bribery? I used to kill Xie Sanbin in Ningbo and confiscate his farm and shops. You greedy tens of thousands of taels of silver in it, and then swallow more than 10,000 acres of land to your name. Is this true?"
"I won't say anything far away. I just said that you just came to Yanzhou, but immediately went to a banquet for the gentry and powerful people in Yanzhou. I heard that those gentry invited you to drink, one thousand taels of silver for a glass of wine? How many cups did you drink last night?"
Zhang Guojun didn't expect that all of his affairs would be known to the ruling country, and he immediately begged for mercy.
"Guo Jun, Gu also knows that there are many unspoken rules and customs in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. It has become a trend for asking for gifts. But everything must be done. Not everything can be taken, not everything can be said casually. You dare to pat your chest and tell the gentry and powerful people in Yanzhou that as long as you speak, they don't have to fill in the deficits, make up for the debts, and don't have to clear the fields?"
"I even dared to give them advice and use barren and deserted land to occupy the number of military settlements in the military? I even used small acres as large acres. This is really resourceful!"
Zhang Guojun was panicked now.
He was indeed arrogant before. He was a great uncle and the commander of the Jinyiwei. He always felt that he was amazing. He even often told people that the governor had received a lot of help from the Zhang family when he went south to Taizhou. After the rebellion, he even provided people, money and food.
But he forgot that the regent is not a vegetarian.
He forgot how Xie Sanbin, Fang Guoan and others died.
Drinking wine and collecting money, indulging in enjoyment.
Power is the best poison, and it can completely corrupt a person. There is no problem with this. Zhang Guojun is just a young man from Jiangnan, but when he became the uncle and the commander of the Jinyiwei, he was so wandering around in just a few months that he had no idea of the southeast, west and north.
Seeing that Zhu Yihai's face became increasingly ugly.
Zhang Guojun picked up Zhu Yihai's leg and said, "Your Highness, I am your highness's person. Although I have received some silver and gifts, these ministers actually took them for you. They raised an army to attack the enemy and restored the Zhongxing. All these are all required. Your Highness is not convenient for you to come forward. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, it is also my duty to come forward for you."
"Isn't the Jinyiwei just doing these dirty work?"
Zhu Yihai smiled.
This guy would say it.
The Jinyiwei was once highly expected by Zhu Yihai, but now he is more accustomed to using the Imperial Camp Procedure and Editing Office. In addition to the intelligence of the editorial and Editing Office, Zhu Yihai has newly established a servant room with the General Affairs Office, Military Affairs Office, Internal Affairs Office and Guard Department. Under the Internal Affairs Office, there is a statistics office, and there is a detective office under the General Affairs Office. There is an investigation office under the General Affairs Office and an intelligence office under the Military Affairs Office.
These institutions are all intelligence agencies, but they focus on different aspects.
However, these intelligence collections and summary can greatly enhance Zhu Yihai's intelligence information.
With so many intelligence departments, no one can deceive Zhu Yihai.
Just like Zhang Guojun is the uncle and commander of the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang did not participate in the Northern Expedition and remained in eastern Zhejiang. Although they have developed rapidly in eastern Zhejiang in recent months, they have missed the opportunity to become a confidant department of the state supervisor.
Yulin Town is equivalent to a military police force, while Qianniu Town is a security force. They all share the duties of many important guards and detectives of the Jinyiwei.
"Guojun, although you said this, there is a prerequisite, that is, this dirty work must be sent to you to do, rather than taking on the job by yourself. Originally, the things you did were enough to beheaded. But, after all, you are the princess and brothers. The Zhang family and you did have helped me a lot before, and I also borrowed a lot of money from you. So I have to pay back this love, so that you can't die. You will vomit out all the benefits of gold, silver and other things you have taken over the past few months.
The commander of the Jinyiwei ordered you not to do it anymore. If you are not suitable for it, you cannot control it. If you continue, it will harm you.
I will repay you with the money I borrowed before, with the capital and the interests, and now I will reward you with another 10,000 taels of silver and give you the title of the Earl of Ningbo. You can go back and be a rich man. You have no official position and enjoy your life."
Zhang Guojun is unwilling to accept it.
But Zhu Yihai's eyes rolled, "Don't force me to draw my sword, you know the consequences."
Zhang Guojun was shocked and dared not speak a word anymore.
"Go down!"
"Remember to retreat cleanly, don't act like a flower head, you are clear about your affairs."
