"The wheat is ripe in Kongtong, and the king's army is far away. Please ask the general how to use the poverty and desolation." Sent to Secretary Gao No. 35
Chang'an Government Office is located near Luocheng Gate in the north of the city. There is a single gate in front of the gate, and a double-story gallery courtyard behind it. They are all wooden tenon structures hanging from mountains. They sit north to south and are very tall and spacious. It is also the government office of a county, Chang'an Government Office.
It is much more impressive than the county yamen in other places. But under the emperor's feet, not to mention those three government yamen, just compared with Sili Xiaowei, Jingzhao Yin and other yamen, they still look a bit petty.
Ever since Sima Fang moved to Jinwu, the emperor has not arranged for someone to take over the position of Jing Zhaoyin. At first, some people wrote letters to recommend him, but only after the emperor deliberately put it aside several times did everyone understand the emperor's thoughts. This depends on the king of Chang'an.
Ling is young and promising, so train him carefully!
At such a young age, he was able to manage Chang'an in an orderly manner, and he was also able to devote his energy to managing the affairs of Beijing and Zhao. He was worthy of being Wang Yun's nephew.
As a result, many rumors arose in the outside world. Some said that the emperor did not forget Wang Yun's kindness in killing Dong, and that Wang Ling was just being shielded. Others said that Wang Ling could still serve in the court and be reused. Maybe the Wang family of Taiyuan still had a chance to make a comeback.
All kinds of speculations were all hidden with evil intentions. Wang Ling was worried about the slander and ridicule, so he became more and more cautious in doing things. Although the emperor asked him to temporarily handle the affairs of Beijing, in order to avoid suspicion, he still chose to work in the government office of Chang'an Ling, and went to work every few days.
Shangshu asked the emperor to appoint Jing Zhaoyin as soon as possible.
Wang Ling deliberately tried to avoid the limelight and stay low-key to gain seniority, but he still couldn't stop trouble from getting in his way.
Two days ago, the chief of the pavilion at Yinmaqiao sent a document saying that a group of thieves had entered the country and robbed two old women. As a result, before the local pawn farmer Sima could do anything, he was killed by a family member of the old woman.
Ranger solved it.
These are all unbelievable things, and the evidence is conclusive, and any one of them, if it falls into the hands of someone who is interested, is enough to cause a big storm.
Wang Ling held the document, frowned, and suddenly shouted outside: "Yi Lu!"
Qin Yi, the northern captain of Chang'an who had been waiting at the door for a long time, hurried in and said, "What advice can the Ming government give me?"
Qin Yi was originally a subordinate of Lu Bu's army. When Lu Bu was defeated and fled, he asked to stay because he could not bear to leave his beloved wife at home, and reported the enemy's situation to the court. Wang Yun was unable to protect himself at the time and had no time to take care of him, but in order to express his feelings,
If you want to get close to him, let him be your subordinate.
The so-called imperial subordinates are actually minor officials such as recording affairs, which is similar to Qin Yi's previous job. Until Wang Yun was exempted from deportation, his nephew Wang Ling was worshiped as the Chang'an order, and he suffered from the lack of capable people to help him maintain his position.
The capital was in good order, so Wang Yun recommended Qin Yi, who knew a little about military strategy and had fought in battles, to Wang Ling.
In the Han Dynasty, due to the prosperous population in the capital, the difficulty of public security was greater than that of ordinary county captains, so it was divided into four divisions and set up four divisions. For example, Cao Cao served as the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang.
Although Beiwei Wei was only a minor official with a rank of 200 shi and a monthly salary of 30 dendrobium, he was in charge of the security and robbery of the entire North City of Chang'an. Qin Yi relied on his military leadership experience gained from following Lu Bu's campaigns and led several of his men.
He is the chief of the pavilion and is maintaining law and order here. He is even more at ease than he was in the army in the past, and he is as at home as a fish in water.
"What's the origin of this abalone? But with his own strength, he killed dozens of thieves in a row. Why haven't I heard of such martial arts before?" Wang Ling asked.
Qin Yi inquired about Bao Chu's resume in advance and said in detail: "This man is a famous ranger in Sanfu. He likes to make friends with righteous men and his whereabouts are unpredictable. Although he is a swordsman, he usually abides by the king's laws and is very kind to his mother.
Filial piety, if the thief hadn’t captured his mother this time, this person might not have killed so many people."
Wang Ling pointed to a pile of slips on the table in front of him: "Since their family is a village and no one has ever served as a soldier, why were they assigned to a military camp?"
Qin Yi looked carefully at the side and interjected: "I don't know much about this."
In fact, he knew it very well, but there were too many involved, and others were quiet and didn't dare to talk about it.
Wang Ling did not want to discuss this topic in depth. He waved his hand and said, "This was an act of filial piety and he killed a thief. Not only did he have no fault, he actually had merit."
After saying that, Wang Ling sighed again.
Jingzhao gave birth to such a filial son who sacrificed his life to save his mother. According to the past practice, Bao can be recommended as Xiaolian. This is something that puts the whole Jingzhao and even Chang'an on the map. Qin Yi doesn't understand why.
Wang Ling still looked bored: "With such a filial son in Jingzhao, why should Hejun be honored? What does the Ming Dynasty mean by this?"
Wang Ling raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Yi, and said leisurely: "I was wondering where this group of thieves came from."
Qin Yi reacted slowly and replied smoothly: "These thieves are either deserters on the battlefield or bandits in the countryside."
He suddenly remembered the general notice published by the official at the Yushitai a few days ago. The general notice that was copied to Tingxiang, the county below, clearly stated: Huben Zhonglang will Gaishun and Yulin Zhonglang
General Xu Rong spent more than a month fighting dozens of battles, large and small, and finally wiped out all the bandits in Guanzhong.
If Gaishun and the others had really wiped out all these bandits, why would there still be dozens of thieves robbing families in Chang'an, right under the emperor's nose, and even hijacking military and military families?
After all, Qin Yi had been on the battlefield for several years and was familiar with the twists and turns here. He lowered his voice and quietly said to Wang Ling: "If this group of thieves hadn't been negligent during the battle,
The only reason for the leakage of creation is that someone falsely claimed his military exploits."
False reporting of military exploits is a big deal, but it's just a small matter because of Gaishun's favor in front of the emperor. Even if it is said out, it is not a big deal.
But the key point is that in order to support Gaishun's position in the army as much as possible, the emperor asked the minister to issue an edict to reward Gaishun and other soldiers. Not long after, this happened immediately. Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Why don't we suppress this matter?" Qin Yi said cautiously: "Or maybe we can modify it and say that these are just one or two thieves, and the rumors about dozens of thieves are all lies.
"
"This matter is not as simple as you think." Wang Ling looked solemn, stood up slowly, looked at Qin Yi, and said: "This is not a matter of falsely claiming military exploits, it also involves farmers and civilian households. On a larger scale,
, this will set off a big case!"
Wang Ling was pacing in place, intending to ignore the matter as Qin Yi said, pretending as if nothing had happened. But by doing so, how was he any different from those mediocre officials?
Thinking back to Wang Yun's earnest instructions to him before leaving that day, if the government has lost its political power, he should speak out and defend himself. How can he be alone?
But now he and Gaishun are both valued and valued ministers of the emperor, and are regarded as a party in front of outsiders. If he brings this matter to the forefront, wouldn't it mean that others will fight among themselves?
After much deliberation, I decided to go to Sikong Huang Wan first. As the existing leader of the Guandong scholars, Huang Wan also had close friendship with the Hongnong Yang family and the Zhao brothers. He was obviously the other side of the powerful force in the court.
Although they are not as big as Ma Rixi and others, they should not be underestimated.
Before Wang Yun left, he asked Wang Ling to ask for advice sometimes. Huang Wan respected Wang Ling as an elder and loved Wang Ling's talents, so he often gave careful advice. Otherwise, Wang Ling's still immature skills and qualifications could not be used at any time.
How could he manage the entire Jingzhao affairs so smoothly if he knew how to make mistakes.
