Chapter 421 Don’t be ashamed of being the best in the world
The sky was slightly dim, and all the civil and military officials were waiting in the court room to go to court.
The first- and second-rank officials were sitting in the court room, while the lower-ranking officials were in groups outside the court room, chatting. At the top of the mountain wall of the court room, stood an official alone, about fifty years old.
, with a clear face, a wat in his hand, and a serious expression.
Not far away, several officials who had good friendships were chatting and laughing. One of them suddenly saw the official standing in the corner. He immediately glanced at the others, whispered to the official standing in the corner, and said: "Hey,
Isn’t that Imperial Ambassador Jing?”
An official next to him turned his head and said, "Ah, yes, I heard yesterday that he was released by the emperor's mercy. Also released at the same time were Feng Wanshun, Shi Yunchang and a few others. However, those people were all reinstated.
Only this Imperial Envoy Jing got a promotion in disguise, and now he has been promoted by the Emperor to Deputy Imperial Envoy of the Capital. Apart from Chen Ying, he is the only one in the Metropolitan Inspectorate."
Another official said with envy: "I can't help it. Speaking of which, Jing Qing was also an old minister of the emperor when he was in residence in Peiping. When Jing Qing was the counselor of Peiping, he worked under the emperor. Of course the emperor valued him. Look at Wu Youdao, who led
The governors and envoys from the capital rushed to greet him and persuade him to come in, but now he is not as important as Jingqing. His clothes are not as good as new, and his people are not as good as old. This is because the emperor values friendship and misses his old friends."
Someone next to him sneered and said in a strange way: "Don't Jingqing always pride himself on his loyalty? I heard that the day before the city was broken, that was also the morning, in this court room, Jingqing made an appointment with Fang Xiaoru. Once the city was broken,
So they observed the festival of righteousness and death and refused to live in poverty. The result? Fang Xiaoru refused to die, and Jing Qing also refused to die. I don’t know what they were waiting for. It turned out that they were waiting for the emperor’s mercy. Hey! Words don’t care about deeds, they are greedy for life and afraid of death!”
Someone chuckled and said: "Jing Qing asked for pardon. The emperor valued him, so he pardoned him. But Fang Xizhi... Hehe! He was the one who initiated the reduction of vassal status; he was the one who designed Peiping; a estrangement letter almost came to an end.
The emperor and his son turned against each other, and the emperor hated him to the core. Even if he kowtowed 10,000 times, the emperor would not be able to pardon him."
An older official sighed and said, "Don't be so harsh in your words. Although we didn't agree with the reduction of vassals at the beginning, after all... we are all part of the Ming Dynasty, whether we are uncles or nephews. Let's do it
As a minister, as long as you do your duty well, serve the court at the top, benefit the people at the bottom, be worthy of what you have learned in your heart, and be worthy of the salary."
The other people were speechless after hearing this.
Jing Qing stood in the corner holding a scepter, and could clearly hear the words of these people. He only smiled lightly, neither surprised nor angry, neither ashamed nor annoyed, as if he was in an ancient well. But he never noticed, like a javelin.
The guards with swords standing there and the several young eunuchs who came in and out to serve tea and water were all secretly watching him, Feng Wanshun, Shi Yunchang and the others.
Ji Gang has a strong ability to do things. Xia Xun reminded him that although he didn't think so, the arrangement was still watertight. A large invisible net had been quietly covered, monitoring every move of Jing Qing and the others. They
All the words and deeds of these people will be reported and made known to the public at any time.
The Jingyang bell rang, hundreds of officials went to court, the officials left the court room and walked towards the Jinshui Bridge...
By the Jinshan Bridge, Ji Gang stood by the royal road, squinting his eyes slightly and looking at every courtier who passed by him. He had an unparalleled ability and could quickly remember the names and looks of many unfamiliar people.
, since he has joined the profession of Jinyiwei, he has put in a lot of effort and almost remembers the officials who come to court every day. He also keeps in mind the officials who have just been released by Xia Xun who reminded him.
.
Originally, it was not necessary for him to be present every day to observe the conduct of the officials. It was enough to send representatives from thousands of households. However, he came here early this morning and observed the conduct of the officials more seriously than anyone else. Chen Ying, the Imperial Envoy of the Imperial Guard, saw this without realizing it.
Some admiration.
As the chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chen Ying does not need to work so hard to personally enforce the rules. He can arrange shifts for his envoys and let them take turns to inspect. However, like Ji Gang, he is a very utilitarian person. Just now
In charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chen Ying wanted to achieve some political achievements in front of the emperor. The old and new ministers in the court were mixed, especially many officials from the Peking Department. They were originally very small officials. They were suddenly promoted to the imperial court and did not understand.
These rules on etiquette, attire, and attire would inevitably lead to various problems. He would not worry if he did not abide by them.
As for those meritorious officials, only he, who was also from the Peking faction, could take charge of them. The envoys who were originally Jianwen's old ministers now felt psychologically inferior to the officials of the Peking faction and might not dare to picket them. Therefore, Chen Ying spared no effort to
Standing on duty in person. This was Ji Gang's first time back. When Chen Ying saw him, she walked over, bowed her hands to him, and said with a smile: "Commander Ji is in charge of the Jinyi Guards. The affairs are so busy, and he has to personally go to the palace to inspect the conduct. It's really hard work."
Although Ji Gang was not acquainted with him, he knew that he, like himself, was an official from the Peiping faction, so he did not dare to neglect him. He quickly returned the courtesy and said with a wry smile: "To be honest with Chen Yuchen, there are indeed many people on Ji Gang's side.
Things are so busy, so busy, and this is a discipline. The biggest problem is that the hat is a little crooked and the robe belt is not fastened. To be honest, although Ji once had the reputation of being a scholar, he is a martial artist. This
I don’t take things to heart, but I have to come.”
"oh?"
Chen Ying was a little moved and quickly asked: "Is it because the emperor attaches great importance to the conduct of all officials and specially asked Master Ji to inspect the conduct?"
Ji Gang waved his hand and said: "Hey, the emperor has just ascended the throne and has so many important national affairs to take care of. How can he have the time to think about such a thing?"
He looked left and right, came closer to Chen Ying, and whispered: "To be honest with Ambassador Chen, Ji came to the palace specifically to be on duty after being ordered by Duke Fu."
Chen Ying's face tightened, and his ears immediately perked up. Chen Yingqian's envoy, Ducha Yushi, really made the best of his job. He was not only shrewd, but also liked to inquire about gossip and gossip. He was very curious.
Ji Gang seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words. His shrewd little eyes blinked and he immediately became concerned.
Ji Gang said: "Yesterday, Duke Fu went to Jinyiwei to inform me that among the courtiers who surrendered to the Emperor, there might be some with ulterior motives who pretended to surrender and intended to do harm to the Emperor. It is a matter of safety for the Emperor. How could Ji dare to be careless? Your Majesty.
The guards around me have all been replaced by the most capable warriors. I am staying here just in case. If someone really has evil intentions, we can detect it in advance and prevent him from causing trouble in the Golden Palace and embarrassing the emperor."
Chen Ying was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly and said: "Assassin of the Golden Palace? The Duke of Fu is too suspicious, Commander Ji actually believed it. Haha, if it spreads like this, everyone is a soldier, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
Ji Gang's face heated up and he couldn't stand it any longer, so he said: "Chen Yushi didn't know something. When the emperor was in trouble, he used the best of Yanshan's three guards to form a secret flying dragon team to gather thousands of ships in Peixian County.
They had heard about the food and grass issue, and the lack of troops in the capital. They had also heard about the lack of troops in the capital. A few of them broke into the Zhongshan Palace to rescue Ding Guogong, and they were able to escape safely despite being heavily surrounded by Jin Yiwei. These secret spies had great magical powers.
Very impressive.
Now that the Duke of Fu is in a high position, he is no longer in charge, and the Flying Dragon secret agents have also been dispersed. Some of them have returned to the Jinyi Guards, and some have returned to the Three Guards. However, Duke Fu has been working hard for many years, how can he not leave a few eyes and ears? I guess
, The Duke must have heard something, otherwise, with his status, how could he go to the Jinyiwei Yamen and tell me some untrue things?"
Ji Gang was willing to speak frankly to Chen Ying. On the one hand, it was because both of them were from the Peking faction, and on the other hand, it was also because the two of them did similar jobs. One was specialized in finding faults with people, and the other was specialized in repairing faults.
Yeah, I really don’t have any other ideas.
Although Ji Gang was a rocket-promoted official, he had no intention of making friends with hundreds of officials. He knew very well who his power came from and who he relied on. He did not need to form a clique. As long as the emperor trusted him, he did not need to fear any official.
, even if he is the first rank of the dynasty. His duty is to be an enemy of the officials. If he gets too close to the officials, it may be counterproductive and lose the emperor's favor.
After listening to Ji Gang's words, Chen Ying did not dare to take the news lightly anymore. He stood by the Jinshui Bridge, twirling his beard, silently watching the officials walking towards the Golden Palace, full of doubts: "Among them, really
Could there be a hidden person intent on regicide?"
The morning light reflected Chen Ying's deep gaze, and there was a blood-like brilliance in his gaze...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
It has been three days, three days in a row. Every day, Jing Qing carefully observed everything in the Golden Palace. He had never paid such attention to everything around him when he went to court before, and he had never even noticed how many cockroaches there were in the Fengtian Palace.
Long Juzhu. But in the past three days, he has memorized all the furnishings in Fengtian Palace and the position of everyone.
He is ready to take action today!
A sharp short blade was tied to his thigh. When he entered the palace gate and reached the court room, he pretended to go to the toilet, took out the sharp blade and inserted it into his waist. Now he could quickly put his hand into his arms.
Pull it out.
He stood silently under the wall of the court room. It was the first time he had done such a thing, and the person he was about to kill was the emperor. He was very nervous, his heart was beating very fast, and his legs were a little weak, but he kept standing in the corner.
He remained silent and motionless, but no one noticed anything strange about him.
"Have you heard? When Qi Tai heard that the emperor had ascended the throne, he immediately left the place where he was recruiting troops. However, he was stupid enough to sneak back to his hometown, and ended up falling into a trap. Now he has been caught and is being escorted to the capital. His
My uncle Qi Yangyan, my younger brother Qi Jing and seven other close relatives were also captured together."
"Where could he go if he didn't go back to his hometown? Huang Zicheng didn't go home. As soon as he heard that the emperor had ascended the throne, he immediately disguised himself as a wife studying abroad and fled. As a result, when he went to stay in a hotel, wasn't he recognized? I heard that the Huang family
They were also confiscated, and more than sixty people, old and young, were arrested. Well, the whole family will now be reunited in the capital prison."
"I heard that Huang Zicheng's son, Huang Yanxiu, ran away from home?"
"Yes, the same is true for Fang Xiaoru's family. The eldest son and the second son had no time to escape and committed suicide. The third and fourth sons were taken away by their families. But one or two could escape. How could those who took care of Fang's family escape? Fang
There must be hundreds of people from my family’s clan who have all been imprisoned.”
Listening to everyone's discussion, Jing Qing's murderous intention became even more intense.
At this time, the Jingyang bell rang. He quietly squeezed the dagger in his arms, mustered up his courage, and walked towards the Jinshui Bridge...
