Chapter Nine Making Money for the Way of Heaven

Without waiting for a few days, the imperial edict was sent to Menxia Province on the morning of the next day.

Han Xueru, the commander of the right command in front of the palace, deducted food and salary, abused power and was tyrannical. He was demoted to the deputy envoy of Kangzhou Tuanlian and handed over to Zhu Yajun for resettlement. His son Han Pingxian was disrespectful and assassinated Salmon Island. He was not pardoned.

Knowing that the Privy Councilor Zeng Bu was not familiar with Han Xueru and that he was a friend of his enemy Zhang Dun, he signed off without saying a word.

When the imperial edict was presented to Zhang Dun, he was a little embarrassed.

Han Xueru was his, and he was very respectful to him, and he flattered him quite well. If he were a civil servant, Zhang Dun would not hesitate to fight with the officials to protect Han Xueru.

He is just a general.

Han Xueru's status in Zhang Dun's mind is not that important. Moreover, Han Xueru is also the commander of the front department of the palace, which is a very sensitive position.

If you try to get involved with the officials in order to protect him, you will leave an excuse for your opponent. You even have to control the imperial army in front of the palace, so what are your intentions?

Do you want to be Wang Mang and Cao Mengde?

Liu Kui came to visit late last night and briefly relayed what King Jian said. Although Zhang Dun still couldn't figure out why His Highness King Jian changed his temper and was willing to get involved in government affairs and was willing to help him.

But it would be a good thing to work together to drive Xing Shu out of the court, and he must push for this to be done.

Why was the official furious and demoting Han Xueru and his son? Zhang Dun sent someone to inquire about it, and soon got a reply.

Han Xueru's bastard son Han Pingxian offended King Jian Zhao Shisan, and then the emperor's younger brother went to the palace to complain overnight.

Hearing this, Zhang Dun gave up on Han Xueru without hesitation because he saw the weight of His Royal Highness King Jian in front of the officials.

Zhang Dun would never allow him to offend King Jian and the officials and delay the expulsion of Xing Shu just because he wanted to protect Han Xueru.

With a stroke of his pen, he countersigned the imperial edict. The edict took effect immediately, and Han Xueru and Han Pingxian and his son could be dealt with through normal procedures.

On this day, Zhao Si entered the palace again, and Liang Congzheng led the way.

"Your Highness, how will the money be divided?" Liang Congzheng asked in a low voice.

"Half for one person." Zhao Si said grandly.

Liang Congzheng's heart began to beat wildly, and he was trembling when he spoke, "Your Highness, it's a hundred thousand yuan, half of it for one person is 50,000 yuan. I dare not accept such a large amount of money."

"Don't dare accept it, the money will bite your hand?" Zhao said nonchalantly.

It really brings shame to the eunuch community.

Not to mention the eunuchs in the Han and Tang dynasties who dared to depose and establish emperors. Among the famous eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, none of them made the civil servants docile and obedient.

Let’s see how you behave as seniors!

"I'm afraid of those admonishing officials."

"What are you afraid of? Do you think those civil servants are clean under their butts? It's okay. If they dare to bite you, you spend hundreds of dollars to bribe a few civil servants who haven't gotten a good job yet, and bite them back." Zhao Si comforted Liang.

Enter politics.

"You have done a great job in this matter. Han Pingxian was transferred from Salmon Island to Qiongya Island after a narrow escape. Father and son are reunited, and the family is neat. What a good thing! I have helped you so much, isn't it worth 50,000 yuan?

cord?"

Liang Congzheng turned around and bowed deeply, "The young man thanked the king for the reward."

"What's the reward? It's the money we earn for doing justice for Heaven."

Zhao Si said with a smile while muttering in his heart.

Li Fang's relative, yes, Liu Yanqing, is really a talented person.

He quietly found Han Xueru and told him that there was a way to escape.

Han Xueru was dubious at first, and then Liang Congzheng came forward and showed a small face.

Of course Han Xueru knew the most useful eunuch around the official family, and thought that if he came forward, there would be no problem, so he hurriedly agreed.

One hundred thousand yuan almost bankrupted the Han family.

But the harder he tried, the more convinced Han Xueru became. He gritted his teeth and got close to him.

As long as he can stay in Kaifeng City, Han Xueru believes that there will always be a chance to turn around.

So one hundred thousand dollars fell into Zhao Si's hands.

Entering the Yanhe Hall, the official was leaning on the desk, flipping through documents.

"Brother Six."

"Sit down," the official raised his head and waved him over.

"Here is the list of generals rewarded for their meritorious service in the Sixth Route of Shaanxi Province. Could you please help me decide which ones to send to Beijing?"

The official said, pointing to the document on the table.

Zhao Si has been considering candidates for the Western Army generals to be transferred to Beijing these days, and he already has a suitable list in mind.

"Among the masters, Yao Xiong, Liu Fa, Yang Weizhong, Zhao Long and Gao Yongnian."

Zhao Si wrote down the names of six people with a brush, and after thinking for a while, he added two more names, "Zhe Yanzhi, Yang Zongmin."

The official looked at the eight names that were still ink on the paper, raised his head and asked, "Brother Thirteen, what do you think?"

"Sixth Brother, Thirteenth heard that the Western Army has a clan. Generals such as Yao and Liu have made military exploits for decades and are the pillars of the imperial court. Among the clan masters, Yao Xiong and Liu Fa are representatives of three of them, and they are summoned.

Beijing wants to show its favor. Yang Weizhong, Zhao Long, and Gao Yongnian are the newly rising generals in the Western Army, and they are worthy of wining over."

The official smiled and continued to ask, "What about Zhe Yanzhi and Yang Zongmin?"

"Sixth brother, the Zhe family of Fuzhou and the Yang family of Linzhou occupy Hexi in the west and Khitan in the north. It is very important. Zhe Yanzhi, Yang Zongmin heard that he is the leader of the new generation of the Zhe and Yang families. This time he was called to Beijing.

, and provide them with preferential treatment and win over them."

"Brother Thirteen, tell me, why don't you call Zhong Jianzhong 1, Yao Si and Liu Zhongwu to Beijing?"

"Sixth brother, Zhong Jianzhong, Yao Si, and Liu Zhongwu are not only the heads of the Zhong, Yao, and Liu families, but also the generals of all the roads in Shaanxi. Although the Hexi family negotiated peace with our court, they are just ambitious and untrustworthy people. We must prevent them from going back on their word. There are

These generals are stationed on all roads, and the western frontier is as solid as gold."

The key is that these officers are all at the pinnacle of military generals and have experienced ups and downs, so they are not easy to fool.

We young people still have a common language.

The official nodded happily, "Brother Thirteen is indeed attentive. In this case, I will immediately issue an edict to summon these eight people to Beijing."

"Zhong Shizhong is the deputy commander of the front division of the palace. Yao Xiong and Liu Fa are the bodyguards of the Ma Bu Army.

Yang Zongmin joined Ban Zhi and served as the commander of the various squads in front of the palace. The post of Han Xueru was directly taken over by Xu Zhi."

Zhao Si said with a shy face: "Sixth brother, why don't you give me a military position, so that I can learn something from these guys."

The official asked meaningfully, "Brother Thirteen, can't you change your hobby of wielding swords and guns?"

"I can't change it, I really can't."

"Okay, I will make you General Zuo Yiwei as you wish."

"Thank you, Sixth Brother!" Zhao Si said happily.

After Zhao Si left, Liang Congzheng knelt down in front of the officials with a bang.

"Excuse me, the official. I made a big mistake."

The official was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Tell me, what's the big mistake?"

"Young man, I cheated the Han family of 50,000 yuan."

"Han family? Which Han family?"

"It's Han Xueru who was demoted."

The official's eyes were like daggers, and he asked sternly: "Why are you so greedy and ignorant?"

"Going back to the official family!" Liang Congzheng told the whole story in detail, and then kowtowed repeatedly and said: "The official family forgives me, I really didn't know that His Highness King Jian dug a hole for the Han family, so he followed him and became a gang in a daze.

..helper"

After hearing this, the official's eyebrows relaxed, but his tone was still solemn, "This imperial army really needs to be rectified. Han Xueru has only been the palace commander for a long time, and he was able to amass a family fortune of one hundred thousand yuan. You can imagine how dirty it is."

Liang Congzheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the official's tone, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. But when he raised his head, he was still frightened.

"Guanjia, this money?"

"If Brother Thirteen rewards you, then accept it. He is right, who is afraid of the money earned from doing justice for heaven? If you think it is too much, just take 20,000 coins and give Brother Thirteen thirty thousand coins back."

. He is courageous and not afraid of those admonishing officials."

"According to the order!" Liang Congzheng responded immediately, then lowered his head and carefully considered the meaning of the official's words.

1. Zhong Jianzhong, that is, Zhong Shi Dao, was originally named Zhong Jianzhong. Because he avoided the Jianzhong Jingguo reign name of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, it was renamed Zhong Shi Ji, and was later given the name Zhong Shi Dao by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
