Chapter 803: Stopped halfway

Although the Military Selection Division claims to be the one who controls the entire military attache system, military positions such as governors often come from the top, and the commanders and commanders are often the sons of the nobles. The most important thing is the hereditary military posts of middle and low-level officers and even the evaluation and transfer of military attachés at the end of their term.

So, Zhang Yue pushed away the Wu Xuan Division, and the old Shangshu Zhang Ben couldn't help but feel that he was young but measured. Therefore, when Zhang Yue mentioned that he wanted to transfer Chen An of Langzhong, who had just returned from Jiaoluan, and Chen Yong, a foreign officer, from Nanjing to the Ministry of War, so as to fill the vacancies of the two departments and the arsenal department that had just been demoted, Zhang Ben agreed without saying a word.

Outsiders only think that Zhang Yue is humble, and only Zhang Yue knows that even without Yang Rong's reminder, he will definitely avoid suspicion of this Wu Xuan Division, and he can grasp the staff division in his hands, which is the greatest luck. Since he proposed that the spies in the north need to be rearranged, the line has been completely established after Cui Fanzhi and Wan Shijie have served as Langzhong. And because it was Hu Qi and a few of them who were in charge, all the people in it had passed the Ming Road, he was in the south before, and these were not very useful, but now when he returns to Beijing, the situation is very different.

Therefore, yesterday he sent Wan Shijie to Nu'er Gandu Division to take office, and today he summoned the staff of the staff department and a director, and on the grounds that the staff department is now understaffed, he directly ordered the spy division to report directly to him from now on. Because there is indeed a lack of Lang Zhonghe in charge, the people in the staff department have to check the map, and they have to be busy with the military newspaper abridgement, no one wants to take over this stall in the past, so naturally there will be no objections, so the set of keys and powers are all in the hands of Zhang Yue.

Within the three gates of the Yamen of the Ministry of War is the place where Shangshu and the two waiters govern things, Zhang Benju is in the north of the main house, Zhang Yue and Feng Shilang are an east wing room and a west wing, each has a scribe and two soap subordinates, and one attendant does things. However, now the assessment of officials is extremely strict, even if it is a newly selected jinshi, after a year of training, most of the important official affairs can be handled by themselves, not to mention the three officials of the military department, so the clerk and so on are at most the role of a scribe, and the soap is even more like a servant, just take care of the food and tea.

At the beginning of his tenure, Zhang Yue listened to Wanshijie's advice and selected three reliable people from a dry soap scribe, so it was much easier to meet people in the room and do things. On this day, under the pretext of inquiring about military affairs in the north, he specially summoned Hu Qi, the only spy in the capital. Seeing this, the two scribes all went out.

This is the first time the two have met since Zhang Yue left the Division. In a few years, Zhang Yue is already a heroic young man, while Hu Qi has a little more gray hair on his temples, and he has lost his fierce spirit and shows calmness.

At this moment, Hu Qi was wearing a new cyan Xiong Buzi Ayaluo official robe, a plain silver belt, and a black gauze hat on his head, looking like an ordinary military attache who came to report on his work, but only half of his body was sitting on a chair, his back was straight. Hearing Zhang Yue mention that the promise was finally fulfilled, he couldn't help but show a grateful look, and then solemnly got up and bowed down.

"When the old man said that there was no way, we thought that the adult agreed, but it was just to calm our hearts, but we didn't expect that it would really succeed in the end. Although the brocade official is majestic outside, it is not the right way, and the reputation is not good, although we are not allowed to publicize it now, we have all registered in the military department and obtained the official body. Zhao Hu and the others were also grateful, but they couldn't come back because of the urgency in the north, and they couldn't personally visit the adults to thank their kindness, so they gave them a few more kowtows to the adults. ”

Seeing that Hu Qi had already touched his head as he spoke, and his forehead touched the ground, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel that his arrangements over the years had not been in vain, and hurriedly ordered him to get up. When Hu Qi sat down again, he was still sitting upright, and he didn't say anything off-topic, and bluntly stated the purpose of today's summons.

"In the north, in the name of smuggling, a caravan was sent to trade with the three tribes of Arutai and Warat, you must firmly restrain the Fang family, and you can't let them use this to show off, after all, this is a secret matter of the imperial court, and ordinary officials don't know about it. In addition, you must make a complete account book for the profits, I know that it is human nature to pluck the feathers of geese, but a few of you must not touch yourself, your interests I will use other methods to make up, as for the lower people, be tightly restrained, let alone recruit excessive manpower, so as not to cause Jinyiwei and Dongchang to be jealous. In addition, in the past, only the north side was paid attention to, but now even the south side should be paid attention to, and the city offices in Guangzhou, Ningbo, and Quanzhou have been opened, and spies can be sent to the East and the West in the name of trade, and I will also ......give you this name."

Hu Qi had followed Zhang Yue for many years, and he knew that although Zhang Yue looked gentle and elegant, his methods were extremely sophisticated, and he had an extraordinary ambition and momentum in his bones, so he listened carefully and nodded again and again. When Zhang Yue said that Jinyi Weidong Factory was only limited to private matters, and what he wanted was a news channel that could reach the Mongolian king's tent in the north and the Western palace in the south, he couldn't help but stand up and salute solemnly.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, you must do your best!"

"As long as you can be self-sufficient, you can always support spies through business, and you don't need the court to allocate money, you can snowball bigger and bigger. Now the officials in the court only think that the southern and northern expeditions have reached the limit, if this line can be fully completed, why worry that there is no place for the military generals? ”

Putting down these words, seeing that Hu Qi did not show any palpitations, Zhang Yue secretly thought that Yuan Fang sent these people to his side back then, although he failed to become a serious establishment from the alternate Jinyi Guard, but he left a good foundation for himself. Now, Yuan Fang's network in the north has gradually been incorporated into the spy sub-division of the Ministry of War, and he has the power to justify it.

After explaining the matter, and instructing him to send the file in every seven days in the future, Zhang Yue personally sent Hu Qi to the door of the house, and after he left, he summoned the scribe to come in and met with a few foreign military attachés who had come to Beijing today to report on their duties and transfer vacancies. Seeing that it was almost noon, he was about to let people go to see if there was a family to deliver food outside, but the soap who was waiting in his room hurried in.

"Oh no, my lord! Just now, the little one happened to go out to eat, and I heard a few soaps from the household department yamen and the officials department say that something big happened to the Fusi in Beizhen! Emperor...... After the early dynasty, the emperor personally went to Beizhen Fusi for interrogation, because of Dai Lun's defense, the emperor killed Dai Lun in a fit of rage, and ordered Dai Lun's uncle Taifu Siqing Dai Xiwen and Henan Governor Dai Xian! At this time, Jian Shangshu and Xia Shangshu had already rushed over, and there was also a cabinet scholar Du Daxue, I don't know what the situation was. ”

Zhu Zhanji actually went to Fusi in Beizhen in person and killed Dai Lun!

Although he knew that Zhu Zhanji was holding back the fire in his heart these days, Zhang Yue didn't expect that this so-called benevolent son of heaven would kill people in a fit of anger. Since the beginning of the Yongle period, Dali Temple can only deal with ordinary prisoners, but all high-ranking officials are under the brocade clothes to guard the prison, Zhu Di at that time sometimes did not go through the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department and killed people in anger, but Zhu Zhanji cherished the feathers of fame very much, how could he do this? Also, for such a big thing, why didn't he get any wind at all?

Zhang Yue took a few deep breaths, and then he barely calmed down his shocked mood. Seeing that the soap was still standing here, he asked in a deep voice, "Only one person from the cabinet is going?" ”

"It seems that there is only a ...... of Du University Scholar"

Hearing these words, Zhang Yue pondered for a moment, and immediately walked out of the house with an arrow. Standing in the sun, he beckoned a scribe to come over, and instructed him to inform Zhang Ben and Feng Shilang, he went out to have something important, and then walked out quickly. Along the way, there were officers of the military department who greeted him and saluted, but he didn't have time to pay attention to anyone, and when he got outside, he sharply ordered to prepare the horses.

As soon as the yellow horse was pulled out, Zhang Yue grabbed the reins and jumped up, and then the whip was raised and galloped out like a gust of wind. When he got out of the archway from the alley in front of the yamen of the military department and went to the street, he increased the speed of his horse, and when he turned an alley, a man and a horse came out next to him.

"Master Zhang!"

Therefore, it was not the time to disperse, and the entourage at home had not yet arrived at the yamen of the military department to pick it up, so Zhang Yue galloped alone and did not pay attention to the surrounding situation. At this moment, when he heard the sound, he was startled, and hurriedly reined in his horse, but this stop was already a few steps away, and when he looked back, he saw clearly that it was the man who rode out of the alley over there.

"Brother Wang?"

In just seven years, the general banner that has never entered the stream has suddenly jumped to the four-rank commander Tongzhi, Wang Yu can be said to be unique. Because of the gradual prosperity of life, his originally pointed chin is a little rounded, and he is fatter than before, and he looks a little small in a big red cross-collared right-sided official uniform. hurriedly came up and stopped Zhang Yue, and he asked bluntly: "Are you going to the Jinyi Guard Yamen?" I just came out there, and the emperor angrily reprimanded Jian Shangshu and Xia Shangshu, and was furious at Scholar Du, it's useless for you to go now! This is not the place to speak, can you borrow a step? ”

Zhang Yue, who was anxious in his heart, immediately forced himself to calm down as soon as he ate this. Seeing that there were few people on the street here, Wang Yu's face was full of sincerity, so he followed Wang Yu to retreat to the empty alley on the side. With these few steps, he had some vague ideas in his heart, and when he got to the ground, he asked, "Are you driving today?" ”

"I am the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, because I confessed to the emperor that I don't understand detectives and prison guards, so the emperor ordered me to take the Han general and the accompanying entourage, and just now I followed out with the king's commander. I know that Master Zhang must have heard about what happened over there, but please don't rush over here. I can't say that Lord Dai is not, but he speaks...... He spoke too much, don't say that the emperor can't stand it, even if I hear it, I am not angry! ”

Wang Yu didn't care whether Zhang Yue was impatient to listen to these things, and originally told what Dai Lun said at that time. It turned out that after being taken to the court by several brocade guards, Zhu Zhanji asked Dai Lun if he was guilty, Dai Lun not only stiffened his neck and said that he didn't know, but also counted Zhu Zhanji's many times since he ascended the throne. Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Zhu Zhanji immediately flew into a rage, and immediately ordered people to be dragged down left and right to be killed, and he wanted to sin and his family.

"Master Zhang, after Jian Shangshu and Xia Shangshu and Scholar Du arrived, I and a few Jinyi guards withdrew. Commander Wang excused himself to avoid leaving, and I talked to Master Fang for a few words. Because he asked me about my relationship with you, I knew that he was in charge of Beizhen Fusi, so he did not hide it, and as a result, he immediately mentioned to me that the two scholars and Du scholars had received his letter. On Jinyiwei's side, the bigwigs actually have inside lines, and he deliberately leaked the news. Therefore, all the scholars in the cabinet should know. ”

It seems that Fang Ling deliberately did not tell him Zhang Yue - indeed, he Zhang Yue is not a person who fights for the sake of righteousness, and he will not stand up for irrelevant people. However, everyone in the cabinet knows, why is Du Zhen the only one who comes?

At this moment, Zhang Yue only felt that his heart was churning all of a sudden.

"Since you are subordinate to the emperor, why did you come out like this alone?"

"The emperor also ordered Lin Changmao and Yu Qian to be brought out of the edict, and then ordered me to summon the imperial history Gu Zuogu. I came out of the back door of Beizhen Fusi, not wanting to bump into Master Zhang. ”

As soon as he heard that Zhu Zhanji was going to interrogate Lin Changmao and Yu Qian again at this time, and then summoned Gu Zuo, Zhang Yue suddenly gasped. Thinking that Wang Yu still had important tasks to do, he didn't dare to delay too much time, and immediately asked: "Let me ask Brother Wang one more thing, when you came out, how about the two old Shangshu and my father-in-law?" ”

"Although I am not in front of the emperor, but listening to the movement, after the emperor was furious, I didn't hear any movement after that."

At this moment, Zhang Yue is really grateful to Wang Yu for Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed halfway, and even more glad that Wang Yu learned some hidden information from Fang Ling before he came out. As soon as his mind turned, he arched his hand to Wang Yu and said, "Today is thanks to Brother Wang." Da En is not grateful, rest assured, I will not rush to Beizhen Fusi. ”

"That's good, I'm glad I met you, but if you rush and run into a wall, it will be bad."

"Even so, I won't delay you, you hurry up to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to pass the decree, and I will come to the door again to thank you in the future!"

Seeing Zhang Yue beating his horse and leaving in the opposite direction, Wang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that he stopped Zhang Yue from explaining things so clearly, and he also wanted to delay some time. It must be known that at this time, the emperor just mentioned Yu Qianlin Changmao, and he may have been angered again, if Gu Zuo rushed over so early, he would definitely not be able to get any benefits. And with such a delay, there may be a turning point.

Even if his behavior of stopping people halfway today is discovered, it doesn't matter, he is just a brocade guard officer who doesn't care about detectives. Even if he loses his official position for this, presumably his wife Jin Shu will not blame him. If it weren't for Zhang Yue, how would he have thought that one day he would be able to reach the fourth grade?
