Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Eight: The Kirin Clothes
Xu Chang is a small person. If it weren't for many coincidences, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to stand in this emperor's hall.
At first, he might still be a little unwilling to let go, but when he saw the emperor being kind and brave, he became stronger. When Emperor Jiajing asked about the scars on his face, he shook his head quickly and said in a very dull manner: "Your Majesty... This... This..."
The more he did this, the suspicious Emperor Jiajing's family would inevitably feel suspicious, and said in a deep voice: "What? What's going on? Why do you stop talking?"
Xu Chang then said: "In fact, this scar was caused by a momentary negligence when the imperial prisoner was arrested." He said sincerely: "Your Majesty calms down, be humble..."
Emperor Jiajing's face suddenly calmed down and he hurriedly said, "What am I doing when I am angry? You don't have to be scared. This is not your fault. It's very good. You are very loyal. Both of you and your father and son are very good."
Xu Chang let out a long sigh. He deliberately played a trick, but it seemed that the effect was pretty good. He felt happy and couldn't help but think: "It turns out that both the emperor and Master Huang are actually the same. They like to pick up good listening and also like others to show loyalty. Qiantang and the capital seem to be no different. It's just that the place is bigger."
This is how people are. At the beginning, they are inevitably guilty when they see big people, but gradually they find that big people are also humans. Naturally, this fear is gone. When people have confidence, they will feel at ease.
Seeing that Emperor Jiajing's face was good, Xu Chang took the opportunity to say, "Before he was humble, he thought that the emperor should have a fair wife. It turned out that the thieves here were more courageous and more rampant..."
Hearing this, Huang Jin couldn't help but feel cold sweat. He cursed Xu Chang in his heart, "No one else has a lot of trouble, but you are just troublesome." You said that thieves are rampant in the capital, isn't this a problem to find trouble?"
Emperor Jiajing had no expression on his face. He didn't know whether he was happy or angry after hearing Xu Qian's words. He just casually played with a jade pendant in his hand and did not say anything.
Xu Chang continued: "Later, after careful consideration, I found the problem. The capital is a large population and mixed with dragons and snakes. More importantly, the responsibilities of each government office are unclear. From Shuntian Prefecture to the factory guards or the Five Military Camps, they are not willing to meddle in other people's business, and they all shirk each other's responsibility. As a result, these thieves became more arrogant when they saw the opportunity, so they dared to commit crimes in broad daylight, and even when they saw the Jinyi Captain."
Emperor Jiajing frowned, he heard about the things outside, but he could not understand such minor things in the street market after all, and heard that someone dared to ignore the authority of his own army. Emperor Jiajing immediately understood that this must be a problem that it was better to have less than one thing in each yamen. However, he remained silent, but his eyes fell on Huang Jin like a knife. He said in a plain tone: "Yellow companion, is it?"
Huang Jin was complaining. At this time, he finally understood that no wonder Xu Qian and Xu Chang were father and son. Both of them were fucking fearing that the world would not be in chaos. They would go wherever they went. Now when the emperor asked, he did not dare to hesitate, nor did he dare to hide it. He hurriedly said: "It's true that the Dongchang side had been in charge, but it was not very effective, mainly because of insufficient manpower and he couldn't make any moves."
Huang Jin was able to serve a person like Jiajing for so many years, so he naturally had his strengths. He said that he was very skilled in this sentence. He first took responsibility and said that Dongchang really wanted to go over and manage it, but... But the lack of manpower means that Dongchang is not blamed. Dongchang has only so many staff members. There are too many people in the crowd, and they don’t care about these. Dongchang is really powerless. On the other hand, it also implies that if Your Majesty wants Dongchang to manage it, then he must increase his manpower. At this point, Huang Jin is unlucky. He is the eunuch of the Dongchang, and he hopes that Dongchang will increase his manpower by ten times or eight times. Originally, a bad thing was said from him, but it turned into a good thing. As long as Your Majesty thought, it was impossible to say that the eunuch who held the pen and the seal would inevitably stretch longer.
Emperor Jiajing hesitated for a moment, then looked up and looked at Xu Chang like a school exam and said, "Xu Qing thought, what should we do to solve these thieves?"
Xu Chang had already made a quiz and said, "Your Majesty, it's actually simple. First of all, we must solve the problem of shirking responsibility in each yamen. We must first divide the powers, who can manage, who cannot manage, who should be responsible, and who should not be responsible."
Jiajing nodded and said, "It makes sense. I did not read the wrong person, what else?"
Xu Chang's performance was indeed beyond Jiajing's expectations. Although Xu Chang had never read any books, this guy was very thoughtful.
In fact, Jiajing completely underestimated a person who was a traitor. Because he lived at the bottom for a long time, he had to wander among the big people. If he did not have enough wisdom and ability, how could Xu Chang become the leader of Qiantang County? On the other hand, although those eunuchs had enough wits, most of them were locked up in a cave, and they could not see the world or come into contact with the various religions and ranks of religions. Naturally, their thoughts had their limits. And many officials who were born as scholars actually had great wisdom, but they were above the top. They only thought of governing the country and pacifying the world. Obviously, they were not interested in caring about Chen Zhimao.
Xu Chang was encouraged and continued: "The second thing is to arrange personnel. A group of people must be organized to supervise this matter. Only by knowing the roots and bottom lines can we achieve great things."
Jiajing smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I think it's not enough to rely on this alone."
Xu Chang hurriedly said: "I am just talking nonsense, so I naturally cannot be meticulous. Your Majesty is wise, but I don't know what else can I add?"
Jiajing said slowly: "Some thieves often use foxes to pretend to be powerful. If there is no one behind them, how dare they commit crimes in broad daylight? Since they dare to commit crimes, this means that they have support and are not afraid of things. Therefore, to target these people, not only do they need full-time and exclusive authority, but also a talisman, otherwise this matter will not be done."
If Xu Chang didn't understand the rules here, it would be a pig. In Qiantang County, it doesn't matter which person dares to walk horizontally on the land in the county government? The same is true for the capital. Without anyone to support him, naturally no one dares to be so arrogant and domineering, but his identity naturally dares not tell the truth, otherwise he would offend a large number of people. So he deliberately missed this point and waited for the emperor to tell it out in person.
Xu Chang's face suddenly became wonderful. He was stunned at first, then stunned, and then showed joy again. He couldn't help but applaud and sighed: "Your Majesty is actually well aware of these inside stories. He is humble and really convinced!"
"Haha..." Jiajing, who claimed to be smart, couldn't help but smile. He could naturally see through the tricks of Xu Chang. However, Jiajing was a human being after all. Although he had seen through this trick, he still couldn't help laughing and his mood became particularly comfortable. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, to be peaceful in the local area, you must have enough staff. Secondly, you must have enough status. According to my opinion, the personal army of the Jinyiwei can take on this relationship, but the personal army cannot take full-time care of such trivial matters on the street..." His eyes fell on Xu Chang and said, "The Xu Qing family is worse than this. A special Tingwei Department in the Jinyiwei Department is specially set up in the Jinyiwei Department to arrest thieves from the Jinyiwei Department, and the commander of the Jinyiwei Department will directly manage it. I will hand it over to you the one hundred households of the Tingwei Department. You can choose 300 healthy schools from the personal army to be responsible for this matter. How about?"
Xu Chang was overjoyed, but said in a slight manner: "What kind of virtue can you do if you are humble..."
Jiajing said coldly: "What's your virtue and what's wrong with you? The most important thing is that I say that you have achieved success, and this matter is decided."
It was too tempting. Xu Chang fell to the ground without saying a word and said loudly: "Huixia was just a small slutty servant. Thanks to His Majesty's favor, he allowed to enter the personal army. Now he has entrusted important tasks, how can the heavenly grace be strong..."
Jiajing was very satisfied with Xu Chang's performance, so that he actually felt a little favor with Xu Chang. Xu Chang often spoke very explicitly, whether it was flattery or loyal, but he heard that kind of too tactful flattery for a lot of people, but instead he felt that Xu Chang was more original. Jiajing had already given Xu Chang a position in his heart. The person in front of him had a true temperament. He smiled and said, "Get up, go back first. I will send someone to pass the imperial edict to the Jinyiwei at that time. If you use your life well, I will not treat you badly."
Xu Chang hurriedly said, "I dare not do my best to do my best."
Huang Jin, who was beside him, looked red as if bleeding was about to flow out of blood. He couldn't help but think in his heart: "I underestimate this guy, look at his methods... Alas..." He was thinking about it all, but he heard Jiajing say, "Yellow companion..."
Huang Jin quickly came back to his senses and bowed and said, "I am here."
Jiajing said unquestionably: "Go and get a set of Qilin suits and give them to Xu Qing's family."
Huang Jin was stunned for a moment, and even Xu Chang was a little excited.
This time, Xu Chang really made a big profit. Although the position of a hundred households was still intact, his power was much greater. Originally, his hundred households were governed by the top thousand households, but now he has become a hundred households directly under the jurisdiction. Except for being responsible to the highest-ranking officials of the Jinyiwei, the rest of them can ignore it.
More importantly, he also had the relationship with the emperor. Even if the emperor ignored him in the future, everyone knew that his family members of the court guard were granted by His Majesty. Who dared to touch him easily in the Jinyiwei Guard? Who can guarantee that when will this Uncle Xu be remembered by the emperor again, or suddenly asked about it?
