Chapter 54: The Test
After visiting the inner study hall, Yang Gai changed his route again, preparing to go to Sun Chengzong to see the new army and exercise. However, the Inner Book Hall is outside the northeast corner of the Imperial City, and the New Army is outside the southwest corner of the Imperial City.
Yang Reform is now insisting on exercising, so he has abandoned his steps and used to walk every day.
Walk in this golden "Palace Museum". Yang Reform is not a taste in his heart. There are so many fucking eunuchs, it's enough for a legion of eunuchs! If these eunuchs were equipped with AK47s and trained a little, wouldn't they be able to sweep the earth? Yang Gengai thought wildly.
Wang Chengen followed behind Yang Reform, looking at the emperor's gloomy face, and his expression didn't seem to be very happy. From time to time, he giggled and gritted his teeth. Wang Chengen followed the emperor's side and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, why are you so unhappy?" ”
"Alas, my great companion, after reading the inner study hall, I felt that there were too many eunuchs in this palace, more than 100,000 eunuchs......"
"Your Majesty,...... Alas, your Majesty has mercy on those little children? In fact, in the countryside, I don't know how many people have been castrated by themselves, and they can't even remember their names, let alone enter the palace as an errand boy...... In order to survive, there are not a few poor people who castrate themselves. It's just a mouthful of food, and ...... can live," Wang Chengen said and burst into tears, he must have said that he was sad. Say it, don't say it, what you say, it's really, you shouldn't say it!
Yang Reform was speechless for a while, a eunuch corps is not enough, there are reserves, reserves? Doesn't that mean that even if your eunuch army is lost, you can replenish it with an order? Well, it's good, sweep the earth with the eunuch legion, organize reserve eunuchs to replenish, steel eunuch company, eunuch dragoon brigade, the first eunuch fleet of the Ming Imperial Navy [It seems to be talking about Zheng He, hehe]...... Yang Reform thought aimlessly and evilly......
It seems that someone said that the word feudalism is the word "cannibalism", that's right! Yang Reform now has a deep experience, when I used to read "nine-year compulsory education", I didn't feel anything, but now it seems that someone is telling the truth.
……
Yang Gai suddenly said: "Go back to the palace, it's not too early today, don't go to Master Sun's place, you can send someone to inform Master Sun." By the way, say hello to me. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and maid wrote it down. Wang Chengen replied.
……
"In addition, summon Cao Huachun over, and I will leave something to him to do." Yang Gai decided to start from the eunuchs around him, start the education reform, and cultivate his own talent team. Although he is a eunuch, in addition to trusting the eunuch, can he still trust that group of pig-like teammates?
……
Qianqing Palace, warm pavilion.
Yang reformed back and forth, so that his thinking could run more efficiently.
"Slave Cao Huachun see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." Cao Huachun kowtowed.
"Get up, how did you do with the errand I gave you a few days ago? What's the eyebrows? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, since the slave maid took over the errand given by His Majesty, she has been thinking about doing a good job for Your Majesty every night, and has found a lot of people in Jinyiwei to enrich the 'Military Intelligence Bureau'. It doesn't take much to collect information about the Eastern Captives and Mongolia for Your Majesty. "Cao Huachun still has some ability, only a few days? It's all right.
"Well, it's very good, it's still a little capable, like this, I learned a news, I have some people, eating inside and out, and are in the East and Mongolia, for them to fornicate supplies, food, arms, news and intelligence, I am ready to investigate this matter, but once this matter is launched, it must be a thunderbolt, and it must be done perfectly, not let one escape, and take them all down before they even realize it...... Do you understand this? ”
Yang Reform said a lot, in fact, it is said that Shanxi businessmen have fornicated with foreign countries, eating inside and out, Yang Reform is ready to do it, but he doesn't know who is a good person and who is an innocent person, if the blow is too big, it is not a good thing. For those who really fornicated with wild boar skins, Yang Reform didn't mind taking their family property for himself. But they can't let them know the rumors, hide their family property privately, or flee to the Mongolian Houjin, which will be their own loss, so this matter must be done without leaking the news and seamlessly.
Cao Huachun was shocked! The word "inside and outside" has been used, which shows that the emperor's news is basically true, how much the emperor hates this group of people, and it can also be seen that the emperor is not only a "secret" department here, but also other sources. It seems that the pressure of my own competition is still very great! You have to work hard, or the emperor will ignore me. Cao Huachun secretly made up his mind that he must let the emperor look at it more, take a high look, and do a good job for the emperor.
Litong Dongyu, Mongolia, fornication materials, food, arms, news and intelligence, this Dongdong, the lethality is too great, how can this kill be worthy of his crime? Cao Huachun was also considered to have been in battle, and he was also taken aback. Secretly wondering who it is, Mao Wenlong? These are all close to him, and they are rumored to have noses and eyes, is the emperor ready to move Mao Wenlong? It's not like that! The emperor was going to pay Mao Wenlong a while ago. It is possible to say that he fornicated with gold, but he and Mongolia do not have a border, which is probably not about him. If it is really said that he is going to the sea of the Dongjiang River to deal with Mao Wenlong, this is not a joke. I didn't have the courage to go.
Where is Jinning? If you want to say that they did this, it is possible that these two sides are next to each other, but isn't Yuan Chonghuan still in Beijing? I heard that the emperor wants to put Yuan Chonghuan in charge of Liaodong, if there is such a thing, will he still need the "Military Intelligence Bureau"? A little eunuch can take Yuan Chonghuan's life with the holy decree. It's not like that!
That's the Great Wall? The poor soldiers? It's not like ah, they have access to Mongolia at most, Houjin? It is too difficult for them to let those soldiers cross the Mongolian border to go to the east.
……
Cao Huachun thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand who the emperor was talking about.
"The slave and maid dare to ask Your Majesty, who is this so rebellious, fornicating with the slave, the slave and the maid must find it out, but the slave and maid are stupid, I really don't know who Your Majesty is referring to......" Cao Huachun was also depressed, he ran an errand for the emperor for the first time, and he didn't know who the emperor was referring to. How can this be mixed, and I am anxious at the moment.
Who knew that the emperor said even more outrageous.
"I know the ins and outs of this matter, and I won't tell you who did it for the time being. Anyway, it's a big deal, I don't feel very comfortable with you and your 'MIA' in doing this, and I'm going to test your ability to do it, and if you can pass this test, I will tell you about it, and let you do it, and if you pass this test, I'll give you a great credit......"
The emperor's words made Cao Huachun feel that it was really nonsensical, don't guess the emperor's thoughts, guessing is also a blind guess. A big thing, you let me do it, and don't tell me who it is, but also test my ability, it seems that this is really a big thing, I must be cautious, and earnestly complete the task given to me by the emperor.
"What is the task of the slave and maid, please show your majesty? The slave and maid will do their best to complete the task for His Majesty. Live up to your majesty's trust. Cao Huachun immediately said seriously.
"This matter, is to find a person, this person's surname is Xu, in my Ming Dynasty, is a person who wanders the mountains and rivers, living in no fixed place all the year round, this will be probably in the south, where is the specific, I know, who is the specific person, I also know, but in order to test your ability, I can tell you, there is only so much, you help me find this person, see if you can find the right person, if you can find the right person, I can rest assured that you will do the next big thing, otherwise, it is a performance of inability, it is impossible for you to do such a big thing... …”
Cao Huachun was dumbfounded. Find someone, since you know who the emperor is, and you know what he does, and you know where he is, why don't you tell the slave and maid directly, and ask the slave and maid to find it themselves, this, it is really torturing the slave and maid to death, don't guess the emperor's thoughts, guess in vain.
……
Cao Huachun is not an idiot, he understands that this is the emperor to test his ability, it seems that the latter thing is the right thing, a big thing, and the front one is really just a trivial matter, insignificant, purely to test his ability, then go find it yourself. Cao Huachun was determined.
"Cao Huachun, do you remember what I said?" Yang Reform said again.
"Your Majesty...... This, the slave and maid remember,...... Your Majesty is referring to 'the MIA forever walking in the dark'? Cao Huachun is not a stupid person, and soon remembered the words that made him feel painful: walk in the darkness forever.
"Well, very good, you still remember, it means that you have listened carefully to my words, you don't forget what I asked you to do, everything you do in the military intelligence bureau can only be done in the dark, if it is exposed, it will be considered a failure, if everyone in the world knows that I am looking for such a person, what do you want you to do?"
Cao Huachun was completely speechless. Do you want to get it secretly? Most of the resources of this court are unusable, which is really a test of people's ability. I also admire His Majesty the Emperor's ability to play people.
“…… The slave and maid understand that the slave and maid will not forget His Majesty's teachings, and everything will walk in the dark...... "Cao Huachun is on this road now, and he can't do it if he wants to." Bite the bullet and agree to come down. In my heart, I thought about recalling the emperor's words and the characteristics of that person.
"Well, very good, then go ahead and do it, complete this as soon as possible, it's done, I will hand you that great merit to you, and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed."
"Yes, the slave and maid have retired...... Cao Huachun left the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace with mixed feelings.
The person Yang Reform is looking for is actually Xu Xiake, a big celebrity in later generations. Yang Gaiai found that he was in the same era as himself, and he was still his "people". Yang Reform wants to reform education, how can this geography be missing, so how can such a geography cow let go? Therefore, there is also a matter of letting Cao Huachun find someone, and it is also to test Cao Huachun's ability, if he passes, let him go to the group of businessmen in Shanxi and handle their family property, Yang Reform has thought about it, if it is done well, how can he earn 1.8 million yuan. That's worth a year's income! This group of people who eat things inside and outside the grill, and it is not a matter of a day or two to have a leg with Mongolia. Perennial contact Mongolia to the south to fight herbivorous. I don't know how many border soldiers have been harmed, but those bitter masters know about it, but they don't know how to eat their flesh and drink their blood. Those Jin merchants, later saw that the Ming Dynasty was gradually failing, and began to contact Houjin again, providing arms, materials, and intelligence for Houjin. A group of high-ranking minions. It's really hateful.;
