Chapter 213: Xu Hao's Jinyi Guard
On the Juxian Tower, Zhu Yueyi looked at the sedan chair that was gradually moving away in the distance, and already understood that Concubine Xiang, who was thinking about it at dusk, would never show mercy to herself, and she didn't even give her a chance to express her heart.
The two ladies in Chengdu who accompanied him had complicated expressions, seeing that their rivals in love fluttered away without hesitation, they hesitated for a while, whether Zhu Yuexi is a person worth entrusting for life? With such a valuable status, the county lord of the Mu family didn't care at all, maybe she knew something.
Suddenly, a eunuch came up from downstairs, walked over with an expressionless face, and said: "The king of Shu has an order, and he ordered the prince to rush to Fengyang, the central capital, to think about it behind closed doors, and not to delay for a moment, and set off immediately." β
Zhu Yueyi shouted in shock: "Why did you order this king to go to Fengyang?" My mother is a princess. β
The eunuch smiled coldly: "I'm sorry, come here, escort the prince to leave." β
The two ladies and the ladies who were all over the floor watched Zhu Yueyi being carried away by the palace guards, and kept scolding loudly, and everyone was so frightened that they didn't know what to do.
When the eunuch left, he said disdainfully: "You are all ladies with status in Chengdu Mansion, please respect your identity in the future, don't learn from the Qinglou prostitute-the girl is called to come and go." β
This sentence immediately made all the young ladies blush, and they were all ashamed. Soon there was news of this incident in Chengdu Mansion, Zhu Yuexi's private morality was corrupted, and he and some women secretly robbed men and women all day long under the pretense of opening a poetry club, and tried to covet the county lord of Mu Wangfu, which offended the county lord's fiancΓ© Xu Hao, who was a confidant of the Son of Heaven, and as a result, a letter made the king of Shu imprison his second son.
However, Mu Ningxue received another piece of news, it was someone who reported that Zhu Yueyi was ambitious and wanted to seize the throne of the prince, which made the king of Shu very dissatisfied, so he ordered his son to be sent to Fengyang.
Only Mu Hui, who was far away in Huizhou, knew everything about this matter, it turned out that he handled it single-handedly, looked at Xu Hao, who was busy with official business in front of him, and muttered: "This guy is too bad, don't say anything about framing the prince." even spread news to humiliate people. Don't you know that this matter will definitely offend my eldest brother? If you dare to push Ning Xue to the forefront, don't blame the eldest brother for not giving up. β
If you want to say what is the most worrying and nesting fire in ancient times, it is undoubtedly the backwardness of the way of contact, whether it is a flying pigeon or a fast horse to transmit a message, it takes a long time to come and go. If you want to contact various places at the same time, you don't have a lot of manpower and material resources to make things happen.
Fortunately, Jinyiwei has an unparalleled advantage in this aspect, and even the military department is inevitably inferior to it. Xu Hao passed the order and ordered all the knights to carry the imperial flag on their backs, hold bronze waist cards, and give priority to the food of fast horses at the official post stations along the way. Give convenience.
Xu Hao did not have the right to mobilize troops and horses from all over the country, and it was not possible to do anything urgent, all he could do was to pass the news directly to the vassal prince's mansion without going through the military department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and send the song to the capital as soon as possible, and directly explain the reason to Zhu Yuanzhang.
For more than 20 days, Xu Hao has played the role of a brocade guard to the extreme, and dispatched 3,000 brocade guards in the capital to leave Beijing as soon as possible to station in various health stations, and did not hesitate to reward them to enhance the morale and enthusiasm of the brocade guards. Those who slow to treat official duties will be severely punished.
All kinds of information were transmitted back and forth like snowflakes, which made Mu Hui and the other two hundred people miserable, and Xu Hao completely regarded them as the secretaries of the staff headquarters, responsible for summarizing and sorting out the news from all sides.
Xu Hao became more and more aware of the wonderful taste that power can bring. Not to mention that men dream of becoming generals who command thousands of troops, countless people work hard for an order.
If it weren't for the urgency of time, Xu Hao would even be confident that he would arrest all the White Lotus Sect members from all over the country. It's a pity that these rebellious experts are too deeply hidden, and they will never be able to solve the case in a short period of time.
Peasant uprisings often have one of the biggest flaws, that is, they are unable to hold their breath and blindly obey. After hearing the news of an incident, people from all over the country will respond one after another, and it is easy to make a momentum in the early stage, giving people the impression that they are overwhelming. Most of the peasant leaders will be inspired by the victory in front of them, and they will fight wherever they go with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, for the sake of food and food, and in order not to give the coerced people a chance to think, otherwise they will stop a little, and many people will run away in an instant.
In view of this characteristic, Xu Hao circled many prefectures and counties where riots might occur according to the information provided by the White Lotus bandits captured by Jinyiwei as much as possible, and the relevant information collected from various places, and then notified the princes and their staff to make preparations in advance, repeatedly reminded the palace to garrison troops on various transportation arteries in the territory to facilitate rescue at any time, and asked the princes to urge the local governments to arrest the White Lotus bandits with great fanfare, and to surprise the snakes to expose their identities.
Long pain is better than short pain, since he was caught up by Xu Hao, then he doesn't mind making things bigger, so he can sort out the next day, as for many people who will be innocently implicated, he can only say sorry, and it will be a success.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who is sitting in the Qianqing Palace like this, is as stable as Mount Tai, and the emperor can receive the folds sent by the Jinyi Guard every moment, which is undoubtedly the most satisfying to him. Among them, not only all the actions of the Jinyi Guard, but also the movements of the palace and the movements of the various guards and the reactions of the local officials are written on it, I am afraid that no one in the upper position will be dissatisfied, right?
What surprised Zhu Yuanzhang the most was that such a messy and huge amount of news was actually expressed in the form of numbers and charts, and there were detailed annotations after classification, and it was easy to find out what he wanted to see, although there were many mistakes, but it was enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang feel eye-opening.
Arabic numerals and punctuation marks were born, and with just nine bizarre words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized how much pen and ink and time could be saved! The appearance of punctuation marks makes the guys who are rough and well-versed in writing and ink no longer have to worry about the use of words, and the vernacular occupies the entire length of the article in a grand manner, separated by punctuation, and the author's meaning is clear at a glance, and it is rare for the reader to feel ambiguous.
Not to mention the mess of other circles, forks, tables and lines, in short, all of this made Zhu Yuanzhang unbelievable, and at the same time, he fully realized Xu Hao's good intentions, that is, to save time and manpower and material resources as much as possible, so that the emperor could control everything in time.
"Good talent, good talent." Comrade Lao Zhu sighed more than once and was very satisfied with his vision of employing people.
I am afraid of comparison in everything, compared with Xu Hao's work efficiency, the military department seems very mediocre, and it is completely waiting for the news feedback from all over the country. It's always more than a beat slower.
This is the case at this moment, when Zhu Yunwen sharply questioned Jinyiwei, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made a bamboo in his chest, and asked rhetorically: "Why does Yunwen not hold the military department and the Governor's Mansion accountable, what does this military matter have to do with Jinyiwei?" β
Zhu Yunwen was speechless for a moment, and it took a long time before he said: "This matter was discovered by Xu Hao first, could it be that Jin Yiwei didn't care about it afterwards?" β
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "That's not it, the Jinyi Guard and the Ministry of War are not subordinate to each other, no matter what Xu Hao does, as long as he explains it to me clearly, it is enough." You will do the same in the future. You can't blindly rely on the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, you need to have your own eyes and ears, so that you can not be deceived. β
Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said: "The child remembers." But he didn't think so, Zhu Yunwen was exactly the same as the civil officials around him, and they all hated Jinyiwei and others, thinking that it was not the right way, and a gentleman should act openly and honestly.
Zhu Yuanzhang said meaningfully: "In the future, you should rely on Xu Hao, and at the same time, you must prevent him from being authoritarian and lawless." There are some places where this son does have amazing talents, but he is too bold and unscrupulous, but fortunately, he is currently dedicated to the public, and his nature is cautious and cares most about his life. If you use it well in the future, it will be a great help to you, otherwise it will be the second blue jade, which is arrogant and rude. β
Zhu Yunwen was shocked and said, "You actually compared him to Lan Yu? β
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered: "My analogy is a little wrong, what is this son's talent?" Well. He acted as a man and was proficient in miscellaneous sciences, etc., more like the deceased sincerity Bo Liu Ji. Of course, it is far inferior to my ovary, but after all, people are still young. β
Zhu Yunwen shook his head with a complicated expression, he had rarely seen the emperor's grandfather give such a high evaluation to a noble son. In my impression, Mu Ying's son Mu Chun and Mu Sheng brothers were the first to be highly evaluated, thinking that both of them were no less talented in civil and military affairs than their fathers. In addition, it is Xu Da's eldest son Xu Huizu, but the evaluation is less flexible and flexible than his father, too stubborn, but he is also a rare general, and then Li Jinglong, the son of Li Wenzhong, is a rare talent.
As for the younger generation of noble children, Xu Hao is completely the first, fortunately, Zhu Yunwen, as a prince, is in a different position, except for envying Xu Hao's luck, he doesn't have any other feelings.
After talking for a long time, Zhu Yunwen said strangely: "Why don't you care about local affairs?" β
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Don't be anxious! Is Lord Qi here? β
Gonggong Li hurriedly walked out and said in a loud voice: "Lord Qi Tai has arrived." β
Zhu Yunwen looked over in surprise, and saw Qi Tai walking in with a happy face, and after meeting the emperor, he remembered the fold in his hand.
It turned out that the White Lotus rebellion occurred in Luoyang County and Liangdang County in Shaanxi Province one after another, of which Liangdang County was captured, burned down the county government and killed four officials, the county officials escaped with the officials, and Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, who arrived in time, led his troops to recover the county seat, and dozens of White Lotus rebels were killed on the spot.
After the local government verified that due to the timely arrival of reinforcements, the losses in the two counties were not large, and the people had almost no casualties.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at the emperor's grandfather without a trace, and had already determined that the emperor's grandfather had received the exact news one step in advance, and he knew that it was sent by Xu Hao secretly without asking, and sure enough, Xu Hao did not leave it alone, but commanded the existence of Jinyiwei as the emperor's eyes and ears.
Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a long sigh of relief, after all, he couldn't unilaterally trust Jinyiwei, and now that the two are compared, Xu Hao's news is 100% accurate.
There is no need to hide it at this pass, the Ministry of War must have known the role of the Jinyi Guard, so Zhu Yuanzhang said to Qi Tai, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Fortunately, Xu Hao mobilized the Jinyi Guard to find out the truth of the White Lotus Sect in time, otherwise there is no defense in the place, can you imagine what will happen?" β
"Bixia Shengming, Xu Hao really has real talent and real learning."
Qi Tai also had to admit Xu Hao's shrewdness, ability and foresight in this matter, seeing that the imperial court ordered the kings to command the troops and horses, he immediately turned to dispatch the Jinyi guards from all over the country to lead the officials to follow the map, and quickly arrested the White Lotus Sect members from all over the country who were confided in by the same party, and even ordered the Jinyi Guards to interrogate the location of the White Lotus Sect's premeditated incident at any cost, and then notify the Qin Wangfu as soon as possible to make preparations, this courage and decisiveness are definitely beyond the reach of people.
