Chapter 864: Jiangnan Knife Soldiers


Cao Wenzhao followed Sun Chengzong all the way to Sun Chengzong's mansion.

More than 600 soldiers of the patrol battalion surrounded the Sun Mansion, and the momentum was quite strict and cold.

In the lobby, there were only two people, Sun Chengzong and Cao Wenzhao, one in the upper seat and the other in the lower seat, silent and a little depressed.

There was no tea at all, and in the polite session, Sun Chengzong looked at Cao Wenzhao, and after a while, he said lightly: "The emperor's military reform strategy should have been discussed with you a long time ago, right?"

” Cao Wenzhao turned sideways quite respectfully, and said, "Yes, before leaving Beijing last year, the emperor hinted at it, but he didn't say anything in detail, and now the lower officials are not very clear." ” Sun Chengzong had no expression on his face, raised his head slightly, and said: "The emperor intends to set up a special yamen to control the army and unify the unification, this yamen has too much power, and the cabinet and the military department all think that it will threaten the stability of the society and cause terrible consequences, and it needs to be guarded against." ” Cao Wenzhao immediately said knowingly: "So, Lord Sun hopes that the lower officials can advise the emperor to be the first or second?"

” Sun Chengzong said directly: "No, I hope you will stay in Beijing in the future and plan this special yamen with me." ” Cao Wenzhao's heart was like a mirror, and he nodded without hesitation: "About my whereabouts......

The emperor didn't say it explicitly, but in Fu.

When it was built, the emperor once said that I would be given an official position above the general army, and I guess I would not be able to go to the military department. ” Cao Wenzhao has always been a military general, according to the current regulations, he can't enter the military department, that is the world of literati.

Sun Chengzong already had a draft in his heart, and he also expected this, and said lightly: "Since you want to form a new yamen, you don't need to go to the military department, and you will follow me in the future, just like in Liaodong." ” Cao Wenzhao immediately bowed down and said, "The lower officials all listen to your lordship." ” Sun Chengzong frowned slightly, Cao Wenzhao's answer was so direct and crisp, it was more like a perfunctory, or a clear refusal.

However, he didn't expect Cao Wenzhao to agree, as long as Cao Wenzhao could belong to him, instead of setting up another mountain, his goal would have been achieved.

Sun Chengzong still didn't have any expression, and said indifferently, "The plan drawn up by the Ministry of War is that the establishment of this yamen is divided into two parts, one part is responsible for command, and the other part is responsible for deployment, while the Ministry of War is only responsible for logistics, some daily affairs, what do you think?"

” Cao Wenzhao's expression did not move, but he grinned in his heart, isn't this a change of soup or a change of medicine?

The emperor will definitely not agree!

After a little hesitation, Cao Wen said, "The lower officials think it's very good, but it still needs to be submitted to the emperor for approval." ” Sun Chengzong glanced at him and said, "I'll do this, the emperor will summon you to the palace tomorrow at the latest, what to say, how to do, you have to know in your heart."

You are the emperor's courtier, but also my Ming courtier, you have to consider the long-term peace and stability of my Ming Dynasty, a trace of carelessness, selfishness can not be ......"

Cao Wenzhao bowed down to show respect, "Yes, the lower officials know." ” This Sun Ge Lao is completely different from when he was in Liaodong, giving people a sense of calmness, over-calmness, and even a little twilight.

But it was this kind of twilight that made Cao Wenzhao a little uneasy, and he always felt that this person was hiding something, waiting for when it would break out.

Sun Chengzong ignored Cao Wenzhao's thoughts, and said: "I will tell the emperor to postpone your commendation edict, and you can also think about it these days, if you have any thoughts on military reform, you can tell me directly." ” "Yes."

Cao Wenzhao responded without any hesitation.

Sun Chengzong had a hint of boredom on his face, and immediately said, "I'll send someone to send you back, Sun Ling." ” "Yes."

Sun Ling appeared from outside the door, dressed in brocade clothes and equipped with embroidered spring knives.

"Resignation."

Cao Wenzhao got up, and was courteous and respectful from beginning to end.

After Cao Wenzhao came out, he saw that more than 600 soldiers of the patrol battalion were still waiting, and Sun Ling was on a horse, ready to 'send' him back to his house in this way.

Cao Wenzhao's brows trembled a few times, and his expression remained unchanged on the horse next to Sun Ling.

Sun Ling and Cao Wenzhao walked side by side, and behind them were more than 600 elite soldiers of the patrol battalion, slowly and mightily passing through the street.

It was inevitable that it would cause some discussion again, but Cao Wenzhao was very helpless, Sun Ge Lao didn't give him a chance at all, and he couldn't resist.

Sun Chengzong sent Cao Wenzhao away, his eyes flickered for a while, he got up and left the house and walked towards the cabinet.

The news spread in the capital, and Zhu Xu in the palace knew it for the first time.

"Your Majesty, what is Mr.

Cao going to do?"

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu sitting behind the desk with a puzzled expression.

Zhu Xu flipped through the notebook, shook his head with a smile and said, "Originally, I was going to show myself something, but now he has messed up." ” Cao Wenzhao had learned a lot from Zhu Xu before, but unfortunately, in this ever-changing capital, he couldn't turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain.

Cao Huachun didn't understand the matter thoroughly, and still said: "Your Majesty, is there any compensation or aftermath?"

” Zhu Xu casually criticized the notebook and said, "No, it's those adults who have a headache now, let's just wait." ” Cao Huachun nodded with understanding, and at the same time found that the emperor's mentality had changed subtly, and he didn't rush out of everything, and he was more calm and calm.

The wind and clouds on this side of the capital are changing, and the dark clouds over Yingtianfu slowly condense, gradually casting shadows on the clear sky.

At the same time, Jiang.

Su Governor Yamen.

Fang Kongzhi, Xu Jie and other high-ranking officials of the governor's yamen were all seated, and Gong Dingyu, Zhang Rong and others were standing below.

Gong Dingyu took over all the original East Factory institutions in the south, staff, and a Nanzhen Fusi.

This person doesn't have much ability, and he hasn't moved much in the south, so it can be said that he has no merit.

Zhang Rong, Chu Fuyao and others were previously in Shaanxi.

Xi plotted to assassinate Zhu Xu and avenge his brother Zhang Pu, and now he is subdued by Gong Dingyu as a subordinate.

The Evil Division is still a very low-key, almost transparent institution in the entire Ming Dynasty, and few people know about it.

Fang Kongzhi glanced at Xu Jie and the others, looked at Gong Dingxiao and said, "I have seen the will of the imperial court, what do you want to do?"

” Gong Dingyu's expression was gloomy, and his face was still a little pale with excessive wine, he raised his hand and said: "Governor Fang, the emperor's will is very simple, there is a shortage of people on the islands in the South China Sea, these people are just right, and we are not good to come forward, so we need to use the manpower of the Governor's Yuan, the Criminal Prison Department, and the Dali Temple to be fair and low-key as much as possible." ” Although Fang Kongzhi had expected such a situation a long time ago, he still sighed silently in his heart, Qian Qianyi caused a lot of trouble, and the entire Nanzhili didn't know that many people were going to be implicated.

Zhang Rong was dressed in brocade clothes, and he was out of the ranks, opening a document similar to an account book in his hand, looking at Fang Kongzhi and others, and said, "In addition to Qian Qianyi, who wants to be arrested in public, there are 38 officials from the government and the opposition who are married by Nanzhili during the ban of the imperial court, and they are involved in various illegal matters, including slandering the emperor and the imperial court, obstructing the 'new deal', spreading rumors, resisting tax violations, etc., a total of 726 people, with joint and several liability, 1,200 people......"

The corners of Fang Kongji's eyes jumped fiercely, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and looked at Gong Dingxiao and frowned: "Are there really so many people?"

” Gong Dingxiao smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "These lists have been approved by the Governor's Yuan, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Prison Department, the imperial court, and the emperor. ” Fang Kongzhi didn't like Gong Dingyu's attitude, and said indifferently: "This official can give you a warrant, but the movement must be small, if it causes chaos, this official will not only withdraw all the manpower, but also play an impeachment of you!"

” Gong Dingxiao smiled more and said, "Don't worry, except for Qian Qianyi, we will try to keep a low profile for everyone else."

By the way, today should be Qian Qianyi's wedding day, right?

Didn't Lord Fang receive the invitation?

If there is a surplus, the lower officials also need one. ” Fang Kongzhi did receive it, not only him, but also people with heads and faces in Nan Zhili received it.

Naturally, he wouldn't go, looked at Gong Dingyu coldly, and said, "Lord Xu, the following things are arranged by you, don't affect the overall situation of Nan Zhili's 'New Deal'." ” Xu is in the cabinet, and it is most suitable for him to lead this matter.

Xu Jie hurriedly stood up and said, "The lower official obeys the order!"

” Gong Dingxiao's eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked at Xu Jie and said, "There is Lord Lao Xu." ” Xu Jie didn't like this Gong Dingyu either, not to mention the excessive wine on his face, his expression was always so annoying, but Gong Dingyu took the holy decree, and he had to say: "I will mobilize the people of Dali Temple, the Governor's Yuan, and the Criminal Prison Division, you will send people to lead, and the detainees will also be locked up in the prison of the Criminal Prison Division, you can't use torture, let alone kill people......

"Everything is up to adults."

Gong Dingxiao's eyes flashed with blood-colored light, and his face became more and more excited.
