Gao Pangshi had just come down from upstairs, and Gao Mo, who was waiting at the door, immediately greeted him.
"The eldest princess?"
"No, it's not the eldest princess, it's the people from Jin Yiwei who blocked the road from the school ground to Baiyu Tower, preventing Bu Ding from coming."
The original main body of Jianxinzhai was very small. After the expansion, it formed three major sections: one is a high-practical residential and office area with the White Jade Building as the main body. This area can also be regarded as the "brain area" of Jinghua to a certain extent;
The second is the school district, as well as the teaching and experimental areas of several departments of the Jinghua Craftsman School. In later generations, it can basically be regarded as a university town, scientific research institute, etc.;
The third area is the school field area, which is undoubtedly the main area for cavalry training and garrison in the capital. In addition to the large school field that can accommodate tens of thousands of people for training at the same time, there are also barracks, warehouses, and kitchens.
, shooting range and a series of complete facilities.
In order to ensure that the work of these three large areas will not affect each other, they are not completely connected and are separated by three streets formed by a three-way road.
There are some stores operated by Jinghua on the three streets, but most of them are shops opened by the "landless people" who originally bought the large land nearby. The stores were donated by Jinghua - oh, it's not actually a gift.
To be precise, it should be offset against the land purchase price.
In order to ensure the safety of Baiyu Tower, Gao Mo had previously ordered a large number of escorts to be mobilized, but this order was immediately revoked at Gao Jingshi's request, so that the "original plan" could only be followed.
The original plan was to temporarily mobilize a small number of escorts to guard Baiyu Tower after Princess Yongning was quickly transferred. The requirements for this operation were: the number of people should be small and the momentum should be large.
As for the purpose, it is to attract the attention of the Jin Yiwei - because temporarily mobilizing servants to guard the White Jade Tower will give the Jin Yiwei the illusion that important people are arriving in the White Jade Tower, or even important things are happening. In this way, they will put the important people in the White Jade Tower.
Focusing on the Baiyu Tower, they ignored Princess Yongning who had been transferred away, mistakenly thinking that she was still having a private meeting with Gao Pragmatic in the Baiyu Tower.
However, the Jin Yiwei, who originally thought they would be lying in wait for the last opportunity, appeared in advance and blocked the way of the servant guards. This was far beyond Gao Jingjing's expectation.
What do the Jin Yiwei want to do? Block the servant escort team, then lay siege to Baiyu Tower, and kill me directly?
How can it be!
Even if Liu Shouyou is crazy, it is impossible for the thousands of Jinyi Guards under him to be so stupid. They treat a third-rank minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Liaodong like this. Are they going to accompany him to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan?
Gao Pragmatic frowned, and he suddenly felt that his defense against Liu Shouyou was still a bit omitted - the omission was that he did not consider whether Liu Shouyou might act regardless of the rules.
Gao Pangshi asked in a deep voice: "Do they have driving tickets?"
I would like to add here that in later movies and TV dramas, the most concentrated expression of Jinyiwei's power, and the most criticized aspect, is its arrest and prison privileges.
For example, in the movie "Xiu Chun Dao 2", there is an object throughout the plot called the "Wuchang Book". A few inaccurate records on the "Wuchang Book" of the Imperial Guard Banner will send people to prison.
of terrible power.
Of course, Gao Pangshi has been in Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, and he knows that Jinyiwei does not have such documents, but this plot setting in the movie can be regarded as highlighting the "first accusation" of Tiqi, also known as "Xingxiaowei"
Privilege, it can be considered correct in direction.
In fact, in the "Records of the Ming Dynasty", there are many records about "Xing Xiaowei" reporting, informing and "pursuing and hearing".
To put it simply, Jin Yiwei's actions can indeed be said to have no procedures to a certain extent.
But "basically no procedures" does not mean that there are really no procedures at all. Especially when targeting special objects such as senior officials and nobles, how can it be possible that there are no procedures at all?
Here is the most important procedure, which is to show the "driving certificate".
"Driving post" refers to a special edict issued by the emperor to arrest or condemn subjects to death. It is a type of official document. The Jinyi Guards must show the driving post when making arrests, indicating that their privileges originate from the emperor himself. Showing the driving post is somewhat similar to that of the police in later generations.
When arresting someone, a warrant is also required.
The importance of this official document can be reflected in an anecdote in "Wanli Yehuobian".
In the early years of Wanli in the original history, Feng Miwei, the eunuch in charge of the rites, sent the Jinyi captain to Xinzheng, Henan. The captains threatened to order Gao Gong, the former chief minister who had retired at home, to commit suicide. When the whole family was crying, Gao Gong became calm and asked Zhu Zhu
School "Where is the driving post?"
Of course, the acting captain could not produce it, so Gao Gong's family was spared.
However, even if the emperor issues a driving notice, it actually only means that half of the process is completed. After the rise of the civil service group, the Jinyiwei still needs to get approval from the criminal department among the six subjects with the driving notice before they can really start to recruit people.
If the criminal branch refuses to approve it, theoretically speaking, the emperor has nothing to do. The purpose of this regulation is obviously to check and balance the power of different institutions. However, the balance that the system designers have worked hard to achieve will sometimes change with the influence of certain powers.
The rise of important officials, or the wishes of the emperor himself, could easily be defeated.
This is what this book has always said. When an emperor is determined to be shameless, his power is actually unlimited and he can do whatever he wants. Officials have only the last resort left to resist: to resign.
Of course, as long as the emperor still has a shred of sense in his mind, he will also be afraid that if all the officials really come to resign collectively, the center of the imperial court will be paralyzed.
Moreover, the emperor could not force officials to "not resign", because in the Ming Dynasty, people could always "hang up their official titles and retire into seclusion". For example, after their parents passed away, many officials submitted their resignations to the court without waiting for a reply from the court, and directly sent their black hats to the Yamen.
As soon as the office was released, Xiaoxiaosasa "ran home at night". The court could not care about this.
Not to mention Ding You, there are other reasons for "hanging up the title and returning to seclusion". For example, in history, Li Tingji resigned more than a hundred times but was not approved, so he "fired" himself as the chief minister and retired.
In my hometown, the emperor didn't pursue it.
History is sometimes more magical than fiction.
Looking back, the reason why the power of the Jinyiwei increased and decreased in the Ming Dynasty was due to this - it all depended on the emperor's will.
As for issues such as, in theory, when the Jinyi Guards are dispatched to search and arrest, they should also notify the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, etc. In comparison, these are just trivial matters and are actually not that important.
The important thing is this driving post.
Of course Gao Jingshi didn't think that Zhu Yijun would give Liu Shouyou permission to search the Baiyu Tower or even arrest him. But the question is, if Liu Shouyou didn't have this permission, how could he dare to act so boldly? It's really hard to fight.
My dear, why don't you do this with your head in your waistband?
Faced with Gao's pragmatic question, Gao Mo replied quickly: "Tiqi (the officer in charge) who led the team only said that he was acting under orders. The driving post was not in his hands, but in Liu Shou's hands."
Gao Pingshi sneered: "Liu Shou is so courageous, how could he get the driving post!"
As soon as he said this, several servants hurried over from the main entrance of the front courtyard, and they clasped their fists and saluted Gao Pingshi from afar: "Sir, there is a group of Juren masters at the south gate who said they want to visit you together. The leader seems to be a middle school student.
people."
Gao pragmatic narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Oh, it's just Yu Yinjun? Isn't Governor Liu here?"
Yinjun is neither a word nor a title, it is a common name. In the Ming Dynasty, the scholars were divided into those from the Zhongshu Keshe, those from the Zhongshu Keshe in the East Room of Zhiwenhua Palace, those from the Zhongshushe in the West Room of Zhiwuying Palace, and those from the Cabinet Imperial Palace.
There are five kinds of study people in the room under the cabinet system, all of which are from the seventh grade.
Among them, the Zhongshu Department is not called a department because it is connected with the six departments outside the Meridian Gate and the official office. People at that time used to call it a department. There are twenty people in this office, regardless of seniority, usually based on years.
The elder who prints his palm is called "Yinjun".
In fact, Yu Tingzhuo was not the eldest person in this department, but he could not stand the fact that his father was Yu Youding, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, so he became the "Prince of Seal".
The servant replied: "To tell you the truth, I didn't see Governor Liu. The leader is Yu Yinjun."
Gao Pingshi frowned and thought to himself: There is a ghost this time, and he was wrong again?
Then I thought: No, it's not that I made a mistake in my calculations, but that Liu Shouyou really didn't intend to follow the rules this time.
But if Liu Shouyou doesn't show his driving certificate according to the rules, then unless he pulls all the fourteen thousand households of Jinyiwei away, it will be impossible to suppress the servants of the Gao family who Jian Xinzhai. Since Liu Shouyou himself is "
"Intelligence person", it is impossible for him not to know this.
Now Liu Shou's men can stop the Gao family's infantry because Gao Jingshi has repeatedly issued orders over the years not to allow them to break the law. In other words, if Gao Jingshi revokes this order, or simply orders resistance, Liu Shou will
The people who can be brought here at this moment cannot possibly calm the situation.
At the very least, Gao Wuben and Wang Zhizhen’s subordinates will definitely not be able to transfer anyone this time.
Then Liu Shouyou's only way is... to forge driving certificates!
This is really a desperate situation.
Forging driving licenses and forging the seal of the Criminal Division. If this case is discovered, it's hard to say whether Liu Shouyou's head can be saved!
However, Gao Wushi can now understand Liu Shouyou's thoughts: as long as he is proven guilty of hooking up with the eldest princess, Gao Jingshi, or simply slanders him, saying that Gao Jingshi deceived the eldest princess, or even forced the eldest princess, then this person who forged the driving certificate will
The matter immediately became extenuating, and he even "acted decisively". Not only was he not guilty, but he also achieved great success - this is the Ming Dynasty, and there is no such thing as "procedural justice" and other later legal principles.
Gao pragmatic couldn't help but sneered: "I really underestimated Governor Liu. If he had been born in the Yongle Dynasty, I'm afraid he would be no less majestic than Ji Gang."
Gao Mo also figured out the reason and was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead: "Master, what should we do now?"
"Why are you anxious?" Gao Pingshi didn't panic, and said calmly: "Since the eldest princess has returned to the palace, the more fierce Liu Shouyou makes in my place, the more miserable his death will be afterwards."
Gao Mo coughed lightly and reminded in a low voice: "But Master, there is a lot of information in the 'Black Top'... Moreover, there are not only a large number of firearms in the warehouse of the university field, but also artillery. How will you explain this then?"
Damn, this is bad...
Gao Pragmatic was also shocked. The training in Jian Xinzhai was all live ammunition training. In addition, because he was always afraid of death, Jian Xinzhai also stored a large amount of weapons and ammunition, even the latest artillery, to avoid
There is no resistance at all after an accident occurs.
Originally, this was all a last resort, because he always believed that his identity was here, and the Admiral of Dongchang was one of his own, so no one could come to investigate him - Liu Shouyou was also supervised by Dongchang.
So now it's troublesome. In order to cooperate with Zhu Yijun's attempt to lure the snake out of the hole, and because he didn't expect Liu Shouyou to be so willing to do so, he is now in danger of getting himself involved.
But after being anxious for only a few breaths, Gao Qingshi suddenly calmed down, relaxed his brows, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, this matter is not a big trouble... You quickly send someone to inform Cheng Guogong and the others, just say that I am here."
The weapons and equipment sold to Jingying are already in place. Since Jingying has paid the money, why haven't the relevant documents been sent yet? Let them quickly reissue it. Today... no, it will be done soon. The things can be handed over to them at any time.
——Remember to be quick.”
Gao Mo heard the song and knew the meaning, and immediately understood that his master was going to lose money to eliminate the disaster, but the money was not small. He coughed lightly and reminded again: "But master, if you add up the excess parts in the warehouse,
It must be worth at least more than 200,000 taels. If we calculate it based on the price we sold it to Jingying, I am afraid it will be close to 400,000 taels."
"How much have you saved?" Gao Pragmatic was also stunned, but immediately waved his hand: "Forget it, 400,000 taels, just 400,000 taels. This time the situation is urgent, and these bastards can take advantage."
Gao Mo had no choice but to look like he had a toothache and walked away sadly.
Gao Pangshi said to the head servant who came to report the news before: "Okay, we don't have to worry about things over there. If Governor Liu wants to play tricks, I will play with him. But for Yu Yinjun and his group, I really have to go.
Let’s meet... let’s go and welcome all the gentlemen, and let them see me at the same time, so as not to say that I was too busy proclaiming my love in the White Jade Tower during the day and couldn’t welcome you right away.”
The servants below actually don't know the whole thing, but the master said this, so of course they can only agree.
Soon Gao Pragmatic arrived at the gate and ordered the middle gate to be opened wide - well, in fact, the courtyard gate of Baiyu Tower is a Western style, it can't be called a "middle gate", anyway, it just opened the whole gate.
Gao Pangshi personally greeted them, and sure enough, there was a row of carriages parked opposite. There were at least twenty "students" headed by Yu Tingyao and Wang Shiqi, and the momentum was really quite big.
"Brother Yu, Brother Wang, all my dear friends, I'm glad to hear that you all went on a spring outing to such a humble place. It's so radiant that I couldn't help but be overjoyed..." Gao Jingshi threw out the polite words as if they were free of charge, and even
He went to talk to the students who came here one by one and exchange calligraphy names with the utmost politeness - of course he did not recognize many of these people, so he had to exchange calligraphy names to show courtesy.
Although Yu Tingyao and Wang Shiqi were surprised that Gao Pingshi came out so quickly and looked as normal, they still greeted him with smiles.
When Gao Pingshi went to talk nonsense with other scholars one by one, Wang Shiqi whispered to Yu Tingyao: "Brother Yu, something seems wrong with this situation. Let's..."
Yu Tingzhu said calmly: "Don't worry, I see his place is very big, maybe he just thinks he can hide people well... Let's wait for Governor Liu's action first, and then adapt accordingly."
"But he came out so quickly, what should I say?" Wang Shiqi was obviously still worried.
Yu Tingzhu shook his head and said disdainfully: "I don't know, maybe he just... does things quickly?"
Wang Shiqi couldn't help but snickered, and lowered his voice and said: "Brother Yu is still knowledgeable. He is richest in the world at a young age. I heard that the golden room in this white jade building hides beauties, and there are so many beauties, even compared to those in the imperial palace.
Duo Rang, maybe his body has been weak for a long time..."
"Hehehe... Brother Yu also holds the same intention."

PS: Actually, there was originally a chapter about that, but after thinking about it, I didn’t dare to write it. As you all know, you can’t describe the lower part of the neck now. When I thought about it, I just skipped it. As for the details of the period I missed,
What happened can be deduced from the description after Gao Mo found Gao Pragmatic.
