Chapter 110 Arresting civil servants

Chapter 110 Arresting civil servants

Zhai Rujing, a member of Jinyiwei, is also walking here with the imperial decree in person.

But at this moment, the eunuch Zhang Cheng, the supervisor of ceremonies, stopped Zhai Rujing and asked, "Where is Ti Shuai going with the order?"

The hall officials in charge of Jinyiwei are mostly called Da Jinwu, while other senior officials of Jinyiwei are often called Ti Shuai, which is a kind of politeness in official circles, so Zhang Cheng also called Zhai Rujing by this.

Zhai Rujing bowed his hands and said, "Your father-in-law can directly ask the father-in-law of the factory, please forgive my lowly position for not daring to tell!"

Zhang Cheng nodded and smiled instead of anger: "When Ti Shuai escorted Yuanfu back to Beijing, was he also so tight-lipped?"

After hearing this, Zhai Rujing became serious: "I don't know what the father-in-law means by asking such a question?"

Zhang Cheng chuckled: "It's nothing, I just hope Ti Shuai remembers who he is as a close minister! This trip to Huguang, Ti Shuai also received a lot of gifts, right?"

Zhai Rujing was startled when he heard this.

Then, Zhang Cheng whispered to Zhai Rujing: "No matter what he says, Zhang Jiangling is from the outside court, not from our own family. If Ti Shuai doesn't tell our family now, how can our family protect our own family?"

As he said that, Zhang Cheng said, "So many Jinyiwei are dispatched tonight, anyone can guess that something big must have happened!"

"Please forgive me for not being able to tell!"

"Grand Yu went to Guizhou because of inadvertence, how can he follow in his footsteps?"

"As for the matter of receiving gifts, please be merciful, father-in-law."

"However, if a lowly official reveals the secrets of the imperial decree, it is breaking the rules! It is disloyal to the emperor! What is more important, the lowly one can still be distinguished, so please forgive me again!"

After Zhai Rujing said that, he bowed to Zhang Cheng, and then walked away quickly.

Looking at Zhai Rujing's back, Zhang Cheng gradually lowered his face, and then he hurried over to the inspector of ceremonies, and asked Zhang Hong, "Old ancestor, why did a large number of Jinyi guards come out from Zhifang by the river tonight, do you know why?" ?”

Zhang Hong wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Eunuch Zhang should ask the factory supervisor."

Zhang Cheng came over, took a cattail leaf fan, and while fanning Zhang Hong, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said with a smile: "But you are the ancestor after all, so why didn't he ask Zhang Jing first?" May I ask you?"

Zhang Hongdao: "Mei Xiang is a servant of His Majesty, why did he ask our family in advance? Do you think he should ask our family?"

As Zhang Hong spoke, he asked Zhang Cheng again: "Don't Mr. Zhang know that this bird has to leave its nest when it is able to fly, and it has to leave its renunciation when it grows up? Although our family is in the hands of the Supervisor of Rituals, who can we control? "

Zhang Cheng smiled mockingly: "Don't say that, I still respect you."

"Eunuch Zhang, there are some things, you don't need to tell me, if you really feel uneasy, go and confess to the emperor."

Zhang Hongdao.

Zhang Cheng was taken aback when he heard this, and then smiled again: "It's nothing, just asking for nothing. However, those people in the Jinyiwei below are more and more unaware of their position. It becomes the Zhang family's personal!"

"You Ti Shuai offended you, you should also tell the factory supervisor, Eunuch Zhang, there is no need to tell our family."

Zhang Hong said again.

"It's just to escort Yuanfu Mr. Zhang back to the capital by order, so he has become a private person of the Zhang family."

"Isn't your father-in-law Zhang also close to the scholar-officials? Why can't I be handsome?"

"What's more, I went there according to the order, so who can guarantee that there will be no one or two words of conversation along the way?"

Zhang Jing came in at some point, took off his coat, washed his face after a handyman brought cold water, and said to Zhang Hong:

"It's just that there are a few corrupt officials from the foreign court, and they have a will to let them go."

After speaking, Zhang Jing put down the cotton kerchief to wipe his face, looked at Zhang Cheng, and asked, "Should it have nothing to do with our inner court?"

Then, Zhang Jing said: "Anyway, as long as it is a proposal from the cabinet, whoever of us is on duty will be approved by the government."

"There's nothing to worry about!"

After speaking, Zhang Hong got up, put on the three mountain cap, and went out.

At this time, Zhang Jing said to Zhang Cheng: "The emperor ordered you to go to the Qianqing Palace to meet him, Eunuch Zhang!"

Zhang Cheng collapsed to the ground immediately after hearing this.

……

At this time, the Ministry of War was surrounded by Jin Yiwei.

Li Cai and other officials from the Wuxuan Division, accompanied by Fang Fengshi, Minister of the Ministry of War, and other officials, came out to meet Jin Yiwei Zhai Rujing.

Zhai Rujing held up the imperial decree and said: "If there is a decree, immediately take Li Cai, the Langzhong of the military selection department of the Ministry of war, and other officials of the military selection department to prison!"

Li Cai was surprised when he heard this.

Fang Fengshi also looked at Li Cai, and asked, "Li Bulang, what did your Wuxuan Division do?"

Li Cai, on the other hand, did not answer Fang Fengshi's question from Minister of the Ministry of War, but murmured: "How did it come to this point! Even if Yin Zhengmao sued me, it is impossible for the master to let such a decree appear, it is impossible, this Absolutely impossible!"

Seeing that Fang Fengshi directly called Li Cai Li Bulang, the captains of the two Jinyi guards knew that Li Cai was the doctor of Wuxuan Division, so they first detained Li Cai directly and dragged him outside.

After being dragged down, Li Cai struggled and shouted, "You can't take me! Do you know who my Enfu is?! I want to see my teacher! I want to see my teacher!"

After Li Cai was taken away, other officials of the Wu Xuan Department were also detained one after another.

At the same time, a team of brocade guards also came to the Sixth Division Lang Yamen.

And when the officials and subjects were involved, Qin Yao also lost his composure when he learned that Jin Yiwei was here to take him, and asked the Jinyiwei who was taking him: "Is this a dream? How could the master let you take me!"

Only after a sharp pain came from his shoulder did he wake up, and he couldn't help saying: "What's the situation, why did Zhang Jiangling let Jin Yiwei come and get me!"

As he said that, Qin Yao cursed: "Zhang Juzheng! I'm not of the generation of Liu Ziwei (Liu Tai) or Wu Zidao (Wu Zhongxing). How can you cross the river and tear down bridges! Dismantling mills and killing donkeys!"

After scolding, Qin Yao suddenly realized that it might be because Zhang Juzheng knew what he and others were doing behind the scenes, which led to his being arrested, so he fell silent again.

Li Cai and Qin Yao were taken away by Jin Yiwei, which indeed caused a lot of shock among the entire Beijing officials.

After all, those who are still in the capital are almost all members of Zhang Juzheng's party, and they all thought that everyone was their own.

Everyone thinks that they will finally be able to become an official in peace, and wait for the promotion as soon as the qualifications are reached. At most, it will be harder to pass the exam and implement the New Deal.

But it's nothing compared to being able to sit and wait for a promotion and making money with peace of mind.

But now, the officials of Zhang Juzheng's party did not expect that their benefactor or teacher would do something to their own people and clean up the house.

How can this not make people panic again?

Zhang Xueyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, Fang Fengshi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Li Youzi, the new Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who are regarded as Zhang Juzheng's confidantes, all rushed to the cabinet to ask about the situation.

Especially Fang Fengshi, who came to the cabinet first. After all, the entire military selection department of his Ministry of War has been taken over, so he is naturally the most anxious.

"Yuanfu, what is the situation? Why did you use such a thunderous method?"

After Fang Fengshi saw Zhang Juzheng, he asked anxiously.
