Chapter 25: Envy and Grace (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"My lord, my lord, my lord, I have to be a last resort, I have to ......" Wu Mengming was escorted away, Liu Hong gradually looked coldly at the few people who supported Wu Mengming, and several people were suddenly so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Let's press it down!" The so-called Tao is not the same, these people have been bought by Wu Mengming, even if they temporarily succumb to him, they are also false and wronged, and he Liu Hong gradually does not need unreliable people.
"Humble Jinyi Wei Qianhu Chang Yu knocks to see my lord!" Chang Yu, who had just detained Wu Mengming and returned, lifted up his robe and gradually knelt down to pay allegiance to Liu Hong.
"Get up! Sit, this official has just arrived, you can tell me about the situation of Jinyiwei! Liu Hong gradually sat down in the middle hall and motioned to the Jinyi Wei Qianhu in front of him to sit down as well.
"My lord, there are currently more than 35,000 people in Jinyiwei, except for the 20,000 people who have been scattered all over the country for a long time to investigate the news, and the number of people in Beijing is about 15,000! The north and south towns of the Fu Division each account for about half, the south town of the Fu Si Zhen Fu Liang Liang is very old, in recent days reported sick in the body, unable to be on duty, the North Town Fu Si Zhen Fu Zhao has just been taken, together with the command of the same knowledge Xue Dingyuan, the same (qian) Guo Xiang, Wu Guang! ”
Over the years, Liang Yang, the commander of Nanzhen Fusi, has been made difficult and suppressed by Wu Mengming and others because he refused to go along with Wu Mengming and others.
However, this has been waiting for several years, and now God has finally opened his eyes, and there is a new upstart who is said to have saved the Ming Dynasty from fire and water twice, Chang Yu is very much looking forward to it, looking forward to this new adult being able to reorganize the brocade clothes and restore the glory of the past.
Chang Yu finished reporting the important information of Jinyiwei to Liu Hongjian in one go, and waited for Liu Hongji's instructions.
"Oh? In this way, there are still 35,000 people in our Jinyi Guard's available strength now! Why didn't I see you when I was defending the city the other day? ”
As soon as he heard that there were tens of thousands of Jinyi guards, Liu Hongjian was still a little happy, after all, as a hot-blooded young man in the new century, he also had the dream of commanding thousands of armies, but when he thought of the isolated and helpless situation when Beijing City was besieged by Li Zicheng, he didn't see a Jinyi guard to help defend the city, Liu Hong asked angrily.
"My lord, what I just said is that there are 35,000 people registered! But the actual number of people ......," Chang Yu hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Could it be that there are cats here too? Liu Hong gradually seemed to realize something, eating empty salary?
"My lord, the actual number of Jinyi guards is less than 15,000! and most of them are distributed all over the country! Chang Yu whispered, and after speaking, he peeked at Liu Hongji.
Smack - Liu Hong gradually slapped on the table, damn it, there are so many people at the feet of the Son of Heaven who eat empty salaries and no one cares? What do the officials of the Criminal Department eat?
"Say, you know about it, why didn't you report it!" Liu Hong gradually reprimanded.
"Back to my lord, every year when the incumbents are counted, the lowly position will hand over the list of personnel, but every time it will be detained by Wu Mengming, the thousands of households to which the lowly post belongs, the actual incumbents are only more than 400 people, the lowly duty strictly follows the teachings of the calming envoy Liang, and only draws the salary of the incumbents every time, and the rest of the vacancies are mostly divided by Meng Xueming and his comrades, and Lord Liang has not run away from the criminal department in recent years, but it is always a stone to sink into the sea, it is really ......"
Chang Yu knelt down and narrated, remembering that in the past few years, he has not carried a lot of pots and worn a lot of small shoes, which is really a hot and cold world.
Judging from the arrogant style of Wu Mengming's faction, Liu Hong is more willing to believe in the person in front of him, if Wu Mengming is Wei Yan during the Three Kingdoms period, then Chang Yu in front of him is Ma Dai.
"I know, you're not guilty, get up quickly!" Now is the time to employ people, Liu Hong gradually got up and helped Chang Yu up.
"My lord, the top priority should be to send someone to Wu Mengming's mansion as soon as possible to search for evidence of his collusion with hundreds of officials in recent years, not to hide it, my lord, Wu Mengming is very insidious, he usually sends people to collect evidence of corruption and bribery of hundreds of officials, so as to blackmail hundreds of officials to accept bribes, according to the many investigations of his subordinates, all the account evidence is stored in his mansion."
Chang Yu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said.
"Well, that's a big deal!"
Just as Liu Hong was gradually thinking about how to deal with this matter, there was a sound of footsteps in the bustling Yamen compound, and it turned out that the middle- and low-level officials of the various households and hundreds of households who had received orders from the new commander had arrived one after another.
The new official took office with three fires, of course these veterans knew it, so they didn't dare to slack off, except for an old brother who was beaten by the public cane for twenty at night, even Lord Liang, the envoy of Nanzhen who pretended to be sick at home all the year round, also came.
Most people know that the new official's commander burned the Jinyi Guard with the first fire, and they were all discussing with each other the purpose of gathering everyone this time.
"Be quiet! Listen to the commanding envoy's lecture! Chang Yu followed Liu Hong and gradually came out, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Seeing that Chang Yu of Jinyi Wei Qianhu was following behind a young man, everyone knew that this young man was the legendary new commander Liu, so they all quieted down and waited for the new leader's instructions to speak.
Liu Hong gradually became expressionless, and glanced left and right at the so-called elite of his Jinyiwei, because Jinyiwei was idle all the year round, and everyone who had nothing to do seemed lazy.
It is not only the Jingying that suffers from the emptiness of the treasury, but also the Jinyiwei who has not received the silver for a long time, and he is tight all the days, his eyes are dull, and he has a sense of salted fish.
There was silence for a full minute, and just when the atmosphere was about to freeze, Liu Hong gradually spoke.
"Jin Yiwei commanded Wu Mengming, who is extremely in the same party, corrupted the law and deducted money, and has been taken down by this official, everyone knows it!" Liu Hong gradually cleared his throat, looked around at everyone again, and said in a deep voice.
Everyone below looked left and right, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the commander, and some people are nervous, afraid of being involved in Wu Mengming's affairs, after all, who has not done a few unsightly things in Jinyiwei.
"I know that some of you must have done illegal deeds, and now this official has an important thing for you to do, if you do a good job of this official in the past, most of the positions of Jinyiwei are vacant now, do you understand what I mean?" The corners of Liu Hong's mouth lifted slightly, and he spilled the bait.
Everyone looked at each other, and then they were overjoyed, the former commander Wu Mengming's team was wiped out, and the meaning of the new commander couldn't be simpler, how could the people below not understand.
"But if you do something illegal and undisciplined in the future, don't blame the ruthlessness of the official's subordinates!" Before everyone could show their loyalty, Liu Hong gradually continued.
"The subordinates will be loyal and wise, and share the worries of the adults."
"Humble and sworn allegiance to your lordship......"
……
Except for Liang Yang, the Fusi of Nanzhen, the rest of the people knelt down to be loyal, but as for whether it was sincere, even Liu Hongjian didn't know, but now is the time to employ people, Liu Hongjian has no other way but to use grace and power, and stabilize everyone first.
"Jinyi Wei Qianhu Changyu, acting decisively, doing things effectively, even won the hearts of the officials, and was promoted to the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, and the Japanese officials of Ming met with the saint to explain the matter!"
"Thank you, Lord for love!" Chang Yu's face was excited and grateful.
"The emperor can't bear to abolish the Jinyiwei, and specially ordered the official to reactivate the Jinyiwei, everyone, think about it, how glorious my Jinyiwei was decades ago, and now the opportunity has come, work with me to serve the court and revitalize the Jinyiwei!" Liu Hong's voice was high-pitched.
"Serve the imperial court and revitalize the Jinyi Guard! Serve the court and revitalize the Jinyi Guard! "Everyone below is also very excited, a few decades ago, Jinyiwei had made hundreds of officials frightened, life in the world, who doesn't want to be majestic, which is like the half-dead mess now.
"The first task given to you now is to quickly send people to surround the residence of Wu Mengming's henchmen, and without my order, not a single mouse will run out, do you understand?" Liu Hong gradually said loudly.
"Got it!"
"Let's go!"
Everyone had to order them to hurry up and gather their subordinates to seize the door, Liu Hong gradually turned around and saw that Liang Yang, the envoy of Nanzhen Fusi, was still standing in place and did not move.
"Lord Liang, I heard that the boss has been in obscurity for many years, I wonder if I can participate in a big event with this official?"
Liu Hong's face was solemn, Liang Yang could be safe and sound under the suppression of Wu Mengming and others, there must be two brushes, plus the officialdom has been mixed for many years, as a rookie in officialdom, Liu Hongjian hopes very much to get the help of the old man in front of him.
"The old man can't ask for it! This old bone may not have been tossed for a long time! The old man obeys the arrangement of the adults! Liang Yang narrowed his eyes and arched his hand towards Liu Hong.
"Lord Liang, Chang Yu, then ask the two adults to go with me to Wu Mengming's mansion, I hope those accounts are still there!"
