Chapter 56: Cooking with gold and jade, working hard(1/3)

Outside Jingyun Gate, the school grounds.

The afternoon was originally the time to learn archery, but today I brought Hai Rui with me.

In a large open space, the disciples of Jingwei Martial Arts are performing hard, hoping to be like the few lucky ones before, who can enter the eyes of the Holy Spirit and reach the sky in one step.

Equestrian, boxing, drawing a full bow, and all kinds of self-expression, just to name a few.

Seeing the emperor coming, these disciples saluted one after another.

Zhu Yijun asked them to continue with a kind expression, while he and Hai Rui stood in front of Jingyun Gate.

He called a eunuch to come closer and ordered: "Go and call someone over."

While the eunuch went to call for help, Zhu Yijun explained to Hai Rui: "Before, I, Huang Kao, always regretted it when he thought about Xu Jie's incident."

"Then he taught me again and again, but if similar things happen, I should take warning."

"Your trip to Lianghuai to collect taxes this time will definitely be more intense than when Xu Jie returned to his fields a few years ago."

Having said this, Hai Rui immediately understood what the emperor was going to do.

He glanced at the school grounds and hesitated: "Your Majesty cares for your humble ministers, and I deeply appreciate them. But... isn't it too much?"

The emperor formed a three-law division for him alone.

He then went down the road and took over the most difficult-to-eat royal family members, as well as senior officials of fourth rank and above.

He was also afraid that he would be easily broken if he was too strong, so Dundun told him that he didn’t have to do all the work. If he had four successful results, it would be a huge achievement.

Having already reached this point, he still wants to assign personal guards to Hai Rui!?

King and father, king and father, the conscience of heaven and earth, Hai Rui felt his father's love for the first time!

Zhu Yijun shook his head unconsciously: "Although I have never been to the place myself, I understand what a 'revolt' is and what a 'reunion' is."

"Hai Qing, if something is not done once, it can be done two times or three times."

"If you were to die in Lianghuai, I would be heartbroken."

Hai Rui remained silent.

But his thoughts were already drifting away - this time, he really had no room to retreat.

The emperor said that he failed to do it the first time and could do it again and again. But Hai Rui asked himself, could he accept it?

He looked at the young emperor with emotion in his heart, and there was nothing he could do in return.

Some big shots from Huaihe and Huaihe, some senior officials from Southern Zhili, and some relatives from the emperor.

He, Hai Rui, has now received the mission to obtain scriptures. On his way westward, he is determined to kill gods if gods stand in his way, and Buddha if he stands in the way of Buddha!

The two stood quietly on the spot, each with their own thoughts.

Not long after, the eunuch brought in several people, and they all knelt down to salute.

When Hai Rui saw how many people were kneeling and saluting, he immediately knew that they were either nobles or generals - civil servants would not kneel down in public like this.

He began to look at the people in front of him without leaving any trace, secretly guessing their identities.

Fortunately, Zhu Yijun didn't show off. After letting a few people avoid the ceremony, he began to introduce himself to Hai Rui separately.

"This is Jiao Ze, the deputy general of Gu Huan, the governor of Beijing." Zhu Yijun pointed to a person.

Honorable military ministers are not so fussy about it, and there is no need to introduce their names, and they may not even have them.

Hai Rui looked at the sturdy man in front of him and couldn't help but secretly praise him.

"Next month, Jiao Ze will be transferred to the position of deputy commander-in-chief of water transportation, leading a battalion of 800 elite soldiers, and will accompany Haiqing to Lianghuai to take up his post."

These eight hundred people were composed of Gu Huan's personal soldiers and the best soldiers from the Beijing camp.

Although I have only practiced for more than a month, the basic look has finally come out.

Of course, the key point is that he went around fighting the autumn wind, and the good news was that he paid back the salary arrears of these eight hundred people, and also gave an extra two taels of reward money.

According to Gu Chengguang, he has never seen soldiers training so hard.

After Jiao Ze saluted again, Zhu Yijun pointed to another person and introduced to Hai Rui: "This is the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Gu Chengguang."

Hai Rui nodded again, feeling satisfied.

It was obvious at a glance that this tall and round-chested Jin Yiwei had experienced a killing field.

"Gu commanded the Qian affairs and led two hundred royal guards as Haiqing's personal bodyguards when he was patrolling the Huaihe River."

Jin Yiwei and Qiu Ba are different.

Jin Yiwei has no scruples about many things that Qiu Ba cannot do.

Gu Chengguang greeted Hai Rui.

"This is the leader of the Jingwei martial arts school this year. The special Jinwuwei, Luo Sigong, is the prince of Pingjiang Bo, Chen Yinzhao."

Zhu Yijun pointed at the two of them again and said to Hai Ruifen.

Hai Rui ignored the former and glanced at the latter.

He smiled and said, "I just met this prince a few days ago."

Zhu Yijun was startled.

He immediately realized that when he promised Li Wei shipping, the head of the country, Li Wei, approached his in-law Ping Jiangbo and said that they would do this business together.

Then they each sent people to inspect the ports, purchase dilapidated maritime merchant guilds, etc.

I'm afraid they met by chance when they returned to Beijing.

He waved his hand to ignore the matter and explained: "Luo Sigong's martial arts are extraordinary, so he can protect Haiqing well."

Then he looked at Luo Sigong: "Be sure to stay close."

Luo Sigong was only seventeen years old, but he was able to stand out from the Jingwei martial arts school. In addition to his martial arts skills, he was also smart.

He saluted and said: "I obey your order!"

Zhu Yijun said again: "Liang Jifan, the Marquis of Baoding, who was the commander-in-chief of water transport, was impeached and left idle. The current commander-in-chief of water transport is Ping Jiangbo and Chen Wangmo."

Liang Jifan was impeached because he instigated others to do it.

There is no other way. This Baoding Marquis is an in-law of the Empress Dowager Chen's family. If you want to do something now, you naturally need to be on guard and find a reliable one.

Hai Rui can get through it with just a few clicks.

Just now he was wondering how he could assign a prince with thin arms and legs as his bodyguard.

Daqing was used to manipulate Uncle Ping Jiang.

As a personal bodyguard, it is natural to stay close to him. Once someone plots evil, the personal bodyguard will bear the brunt, and Uncle Ping Jiang will definitely not be able to sit idly by.

Hai Rui was amazed again.

The young emperor took care of almost all possible problems.

Send them down as soon as possible.

There are a thousand soldiers and guards who can personally control them.

He also used the crown prince to recruit a water transport commander to honor the prince.

This Pingjiang Bo once went out to Guangdong and Guangxi to build armor, and then the bandit Zhang Lian rebelled. It was Chen Wangmo who personally went into battle and captured and killed more than 30,000 people before he was quelled.

These types of martial arts veterans who have been on the battlefield are more or less personal soldiers. Even if they cannot fully control the cavalry, they still have a good base.

In addition, the Holy Father also hinted to him that the governor Wang Zongmu would also fully support this matter - if he refused to accept the prevarication, he would go to Ding Anbo to suppress it.

Those who knew about this battle knew it was to investigate and deal with corruption, but those who didn't know thought it was some kind of war.

After Zhu Yijun introduced several people one by one, he also gave some instructions: to obey Haiqing's orders and not to be arrogant and domineering.

That's why I asked people to leave.

Hai Rui suddenly remembered something and asked curiously: "Does the cabinet know about His Majesty's arrangement?"

According to his understanding.

Jin Yiwei's affairs are easy to arrange.

But the rest should be difficult to deal with.

Jiao Ze was originally the deputy general of the Beijing camp. Now that he is transferred to the water transport commander, he must pass the Ministry of War.

Wang Xijue, the Minister of Justice of the South Zhili Province, cooperated with him. It seemed simple, but it also required the consent of the North Zhili Ministry of Justice to delegate power.

Not to mention, Chen Dong, a dignified Shaoqing of Dali Temple and a fourth-rank official, who was of the same rank as himself, was sent to accompany the two Huaihe Rivers, which was somewhat out of the ordinary.

He really didn't know how the emperor persuaded the cabinet and six ministries.

Zhu Yijun suddenly turned his head and looked at Hai Rui.

With a complicated look on his face, he said with a hint of distress and a bit of pride: "Hai Qing, do you think that the one million taels of silver that I have in my internal funds was collected for free by the six cabinet ministries?"

The incident in the Sixth Division actually led to a million dollars in internal funds. How can we not spit out some of the meat?

Naturally, this money is not just spent here, but it is normal to take the opportunity to reach the above political consensus.
