Chapter 125 Soldiers crossing the river, gone and never returned
Wang Ziyan held his throat and stretched his legs on the ground, bouncing.
The Jin Yiwei, whose number far exceeded what Zhang Zhen and the others knew according to their intelligence, surrounded them with swords. The "own men" of the fourth rank and above from Guangdong and Guangxi were accompanied by their own soldiers, and the servants were nowhere to be seen.
The new imperial envoy, who was holding the "sword" given by the emperor in his hand, approached with blood on his face.
Zhang Zhen was heartbroken and said: "He is a third-grade imperial official! How dare you do this?"
"Third grade?" Zhang Fujing took off a handkerchief on the table and wiped the blood on his face carefully, "His Majesty's secret decree!"
Wang Zuo, who was strolling in outside the door, looked at the Tanhua Lang who killed someone with his own hands in admiration. He took out a bright yellow stick from his arms and said: "The officials in Guangdong and Guangxi obey the decree!"
Liang Chu looked up, Zhang Fujing put down his kerchief and smiled kindly at him.
His face had been wiped clean, and his smile was friendly, but Liang Chu felt uneasy.
On the side, Zhang Nian and others watched Zhang Fujing cleaning the knife and sheathing it. At this time, it was already a fish, and they could only kneel down when they heard the sound.
"The Emperor is bound by heaven, and the edict says: The emperor ordered the minister of household affairs in Guangdong to go to the royal study room, and Zhang Fujing, the aide of the Hanlin Academy, to patrol the two provinces and Guangdong for illegal activities. If there is solid evidence, those of the third rank and below in Guangdong and Guangxi can be executed with the sword given by me. The third rank
Above, I ask the imperial edict to go to Lingnan with the Jin Yiwei to collect the treasure seal and verify the order of the Ministry of War. After hearing the edict, the armies of Guangdong and Guangxi will obey the order and be questioned and judged. If there is evidence of violation of the law, they can be tried and judged on the spot. I admire this!"
Liang Chu's eyes were stunned.
Baoyin was with him at first, but he didn't know who Jin Yiwei was walking in Lingnan.
Isn't five hundred Jinyi captains enough? There are also transfer orders from the armies of Guangdong and Guangxi?
Under what circumstances did this secret decree pass the power? Did Yang Tinghe not stop it?
Zhang Fujing walked up to Zhang Nian and the others, raised his hands to Wang Zuo and said, "Imperial decree."
Spreading his palms towards Zhao Jun: "The Jinyi Guards are walking in Lingnan."
Zhang Boring Shibao came forward with the treasure seal and the transfer order in his hand. Zhang Fujing stepped aside and said, "The treasure seal is the transfer order from the Ministry of War."
He finally wiped and put away the sword and hung it on his waist: "The emperor gave me the sword."
"As for the actual evidence..." Zhang Fujing looked condescendingly at these second-rank, third-rank and fourth-rank local officials, "Wang Hong reported in a blood letter that his own soldiers turned into bandits and wanted to bloodbath Dongguan. Wu Yuan confessed, and what he said just now is evidenced by Liang Gong.
, I heard it with my own ears."
Zhang Nian stared at him, then looked at Liang Chu, and said sternly: "There are illegal things in Guangdong and Guangxi... The Liang family, the Zhang family have done a lot of illegal things in Guangdong and Guangxi over the years, will the imperial envoy investigate?"
Now the only thing to do is to shake the actual chips first, and there is no point in using rhetorical excuses.
The sword is out of its sheath, so they can only delay it for a while and try their best to seek change.
Liang Chu said nothing, and no servants of the Liang family came to protect him.
Zhang Zhen glared at Zhang Fuking: "The eunuch of the general town of Guangdong and Guangxi is far away in Wuzhou. He knows that the imperial envoy has performed extraordinary feats and relied on your majesty's special kindness to uncover a major case, causing chaos in the two areas. I will report it to you at starry night!"
Zhang Fujing said nothing.
Zhang Nian looked at Zhu Qi again: "The Marquis of Funing is of a high rank, does the imperial envoy also want to kill him with a sword?"
Zhu Qi was also speechless.
Zhang Nian's face was distorted. He stood up and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by two captains in brocade clothes who drew their swords.
"The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the General Military Officer of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Governor of Guangdong, the Chief Military Officer of Guangdong, the Fantai of Guangdong..." He counted them one by one, "What do you mean, the imperial envoy, to put all the fourth-rank officers and above in Guangdong and Guangxi in prison first? Do you want to question the guilt? Tengxia, Guangxi
Who will supervise theft? Who will supervise the autumn grain? Who will direct the troops during the Tuen Mun war? People are panicked and Lingnan is undergoing great changes. Can you afford it?"
Zhang Fujing smiled: "The envoy of Jinyiwei North Town has two commanding officials, one for each thousand households, and five hundred flag schools. Liang Gongge is old and has become an official. Although he is not talented, he was appointed by His Majesty. Wang Hong knew the army and heard that Zhengde was nine years old.
In Huiyuan, Huo Weixian, who ranked first in the second class, was studying in Xiqiao Mountain, Foshan. But it was the Marquis of Funing..."
He then stopped smiling and looked at Zhu Qi: "How prestigious the Duke of Baoguo was in the past, but the Marquis of Funing has only been in charge of Guangdong and Guangxi for one year. Is he really going to get stuck in the mud?"
Zhu Qi is always struggling.
He had been demoted from Duke Baoguo to the Marquis of Funing, and now that he was involved in this matter, it was very likely that he would be removed from the title directly.
But can we really make a comeback now?
It cannot be said that there is no chance. After all, he is the chief military officer of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Unless Zhang Fujing dares to kill him directly here.
Can a dignified marquis be killed directly without the emperor's order?
However, Zhu Qi did not dare to bet on whether there was a third secret edict specifically targeting members of the two majorities with his special status.
Zhang Jian had never seen anyone doing errands like this. He laughed a little maniacally: "In a small place, with feudal and barbarian thieves, how can a trivial matter be worth such a big battle? If someone wants to use Guangdong and Guangxi to establish prestige, why is it you, a mere new scholar?
To get this honor? All the princes in the court, those of third rank and above, will avoid you, right?"
Zhang Fujing looked at him with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but think: No wonder the emperor's ministers have always been more prominent than others, no matter what official position they hold or what grade they hold. How do they, who have lived in this place for a long time, know clearly what the current court looks like?
?Even if there are fragments of letters coming, they are probably news from many days ago.
The last batch of news is that after the incident in the lobby of the Emperor's Criminal Department, a national policy meeting was set up to rely on Wang Qiong, Guo Xun, Chen Jin and others to counter Yang Tinghe, right?
But times are changing very quickly.
Zhang Zhen put on a more earnest expression: "Guangdong and Guangxi are full of capable ministers and officials, Wu Dinghou, Wang Datianguan, Chen Zongxian can stand up in the court, and many rely on Guangdong and Guangxi! Your Majesty, you are appointed by His Majesty, you must not fall into the trap of a traitor.
What a plan!"
Zhang Fujing looked at Zhu Qi: "Marquis Funing, I'm waiting for your reply. All armies in Guangdong and Guangxi are obeying my orders. Do you obey or not?"
Zhang Zhen's expression froze, he turned around and shouted loudly: "Zhu Qi!"
Liang Chan looked at Zhang Fuking worriedly: It's okay to capture the thief first and capture the king first, and it's okay to seize the enemy first and attack him by surprise, but this worry is the most difficult part after all.
In this big net of interests, those of fourth rank and above are just the chief villains. How many soldiers, low-ranking officials, and old officials are there under it?
If Funinghou, the chief military officer of Guangdong and Guangxi, does not obey the order, it will be quite troublesome.
Five hundred royal guards, plus these people and Liang Chu and Huo Tao, are really not enough.
Zhang Fuking's eyes became more and more cruel, and he was about to draw his sword again: Soldiers crossing the river will never come back.
"Master... Master... there is a guest at the village. He is the son of Marquis Funing. He said that there is an urgent message from Beijing and must be presented to Marquis Funing."
Zhu Qi's expression changed when he heard the extremely frightened report from the housekeeper of Liang Mansion.
Liang Chu looked at Zhang Fuking solemnly.
Holding the knife in his hand, Zhang Fujing was thinking.
Zhang Zhen's lips were white and trembling slightly. The letter from the capital was from Marquis Wu Ding? He had just arrived at this time. What would Zhang Fujing choose, who dared to personally kill the feudal official?
He now feels that Zhang Fujing is a lunatic, and he might even dare to kill Zhu Qi on the spot.
New Lord… New Jin… Xingchen…
There are some words that Zhang Zhen just doesn't dare to scold.
"Please come to the son of Marquis Fu Ning." Zhang Fujing suddenly relaxed and spoke with a smile.
A moment later, Zhu Qi's son Zhu Yue arrived. When he entered the door and saw Wang Ziyan lying in a pool of blood, he immediately looked at the tense people in horror.
"Marquis Funing, please."
Zhang Fujing turned around and gave way without caring at all. Zhu Yue clasped his fists in salute, then hurriedly walked to Zhu Qi's side and took out the letter.
Zhu Qi hurriedly opened the letter and scanned it. Zhang Zhen and others wanted to take a look at the content, but they were already surrounded by men in brocade clothes and embroidered spring knives.
Zhang Fujing also wanted to know the content of this letter, but he was no longer in a hurry.
For better or worse, he already has a strategy.
Although it might be a little more troublesome.
Now, he looked at Zhu Qi and saw that Zhu Qi's eyes were full of disbelief, and his expression changed again and again.
The letter was not long, but he rubbed his eyes and read it twice.
After he finished reading it twice, he raised his head and folded the paper. Everyone in the room, except the ordinary captain in brocade clothes, looked at him.
Zhu Qi's scalp was numb, and he fell to his knees: "The guilty general Zhu Qi will obey the order! If the imperial envoy has any questions, he will tell you everything he knows!"
For the first time, Zhang Jian envied the status of Xun Chen, but he completely shattered his hope and shouted: "The two vast territories are in chaos! The two vast territories are in chaos! Zhang Fujing, you can't afford it! You can't survive! Ruin the situation and make the situation worse."
Your Majesty is in trouble, you are an abandoned son! Do you understand that you are an abandoned son? Wang Zhenfu, His Majesty ordered you to go south with him, and you will have to bear the emperor's orders, right? Take him! Take him!"
He still couldn't understand why he would directly kill all the important officials of Guangdong and Guangxi?
Looking through the history books, I have never heard of it!
How could it be so easy to take over the two Guangdong and Guangdong provinces?
Zhang Fujing did not need to worry about it, and solemnly ordered: "I am here to order you to be temporarily assigned to the Guangdong and Guangxi General Military Affairs Bureau, and the seal of defense will be handed over to Wang Zuo, the envoy of Beizhen, for safekeeping. You will be inseparable for a moment."
"The general will obey your orders!"
"Come on! Keep all the fourth-rank and above people in Guangdong and Guangxi here under custody first! Commander Zhang, you can speed up the flag school with one hundred people to take over the Yamen of Zhensi, Haiphong Road, Yanfa Road, Fucheng Military and Horse Department, and the surrounding inspection halls.
The officer is temporarily detained when he enters the Yamen! Commander Shi, please speed up one hundred people from the flag school to follow Wang Zhenfu and lead Funing Marquis to transfer officers from various guards and battalions in Guangdong to Nantou Village to discuss the matter of attacking Tuenmen again. Zhao Qianhu, please speed up
The Fifty Banners School returned to Wuzhou with two hundred households from Guangxi, holding His Majesty's seal to oversee the Guangxi suppression campaign as if it were yesterday!"
Zhang Fujing quickly dispersed half of the people. The strategy was very clear: on the Guangxi side, just hold on; on the Guangdong side, all the troops in the Guangdong side should be controlled first.
Zhang Nian murmured to himself: "You are crazy... You are crazy... Just because Liang Shuhou, who has not returned home for a long time, just because you are a new scholar, and just because of the fearful Huiyuan who hid back in Xiqiao Mountain to study, you want to do this
Safely take over Guangdong and Guangxi...Zhu Qi! What did Guo Xun write in his letter? Fulun didn't come, but Fulun has the power to make a difference!"
"...Eunuch Fu... committed suicide." Zhu Qi's son suddenly spoke.
Zhang Zhen suddenly felt as if something was choking in his throat.
"Please Wang Zhen, please hurry up!" Zhu Qi, however, obediently and respectfully asked Wang Zuo to take him to do the work.
Wang Zuo looked at Zhang Fujing and saw him nodding solemnly.
So Wang Zuo walked to Wang Ziyan's body, and after groping for a while, he stood up and looked at a school lieutenant next to him with a look of disdain: "The ten and eleven have all gone to the Si Yamen and Wang's residence, right?"
"yes!"
"Trouble, I really didn't bring the seal with me, so I have to make another trip." He muttered and took Zhu Qi away from here.
Zhu Yue didn't dare to follow and stayed here at a loss.
"When did Eunuch Fu commit suicide?" Zhang Fujing asked him with a smile.
"...I don't know. Eunuch Fu's godson is also here... He said that if my father is safe and sound, please let me tell the imperial envoy. The ancestors in the palace sent four volumes of booklets, saying that your majesty ordered Eunuch Fu to convey them.
Submit to the Imperial Envoy."
Zhang Fujing was stunned, remembering what Wang Zuo said: Shangguan has his own rules.
Is it okay to really go on a rampage?
Doesn't this mean opening his mouth and stuffing the credit inside?
I told you all night about the evidence and clues I used to conjure up the crime. Your Majesty, why don't you just send someone to deliver four volumes?
I am the sword holder, really! Just now I thought I was quite capable!
Zhang Fujing suddenly felt that this success was empty.
