Chapter Three Hundred: Your Majesty Arrives
Emperor Tianqi then sighed: "In this way, Zhang Qing seems to be not married yet. He is of a strong spirit and has not been married. No wonder he is so hungry..."
In fact, he began to sympathize with Zhang Jingyi.
Wei Zhongxian: “…”
Obviously, this is not what Wei Zhongxian wants to say.
However, Tian Ergeng said at this time: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the Marquis of Xinxian patted His Majesty the chest and promised that the result would be found from Huang Taiji. Your Majesty repeatedly said that Huang Taiji is a big deal and involves our Ming Dynasty strategy in Liaodong. If Huang Taiji can surrender and conquer Liaodong in the future, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"I have always been thinking about such an important thing, but the Xinxian Hou picked up Huang Taiji and left, but there was no news. I heard that the Xinxian Hou did not send anyone to interrogate him. He was idle all day long and had the idea of a brothel. The prostitutes in this brothel were suffering from him."
When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he sat up straight: "It turned out that it was for this matter. Zhang Jingyi and Huang Taiji ignored him?"
"Yes." Tian Ergeng said seriously: "It's not just that he doesn't care about it, but fortunately he serves Huang Taiji in the prison, and his life is very free."
Emperor Aoki couldn't help but frown: "So you see, how to deal with this matter?"
"I think that since the Marquis of Xinxian has already sworn and said that he would definitely let Huang Taiji surrender, Your Majesty should ask for advice. This is the responsibility of the factory guard. After all, the Marquis of Xinxian is the Jinyiwei, and he is responsible for such a relationship. How could he issue a military order without even asking about it?"
Tian Ergeng bit Zhang Jingyi to death and promised that it was a military order.
You should know that guarantee is one thing, and military orders are another. It is said that military orders are like mountains and cannot be discounted. Otherwise, military law will be dealt with.
In terms of organization, the Jinyiwei is indeed a kind of personal army.
Emperor Tianqi frowned and showed displeasure at Tian Ergeng. Then he looked at Wei Zhongxian: "What do you think of Wei's partner?"
Wei Zhongxian smiled and bowed his body and said, "Actually it's not that serious. Brother Zhang is young, he is just as old as a wolf, tiger, and hungry as a thirsty person. Sometimes... it's normal for me to make some small mistakes. I am far inferior to him at Brother Zhang's age. Commander Tian's words are too harsh."
Seeing that Emperor Tianqi's face was a little better, Wei Zhongxian said again: "But this matter is indeed extraordinary. I finally won Huang Taiji. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now the Jiannu people are rampant. If Huang Taiji cannot surrender and delay it, when the Jiannu people have a new leader and slowly gain a foothold, Huang Taiji will be of no use."
"Of course, this is not the fault of Brother Zhang. He is young and His Majesty has trusted him with great trust, so he has added many responsibilities to him, such as the magistrate of the New County and the Governor of the Fleet. Now he has been granted a vassal again. His job is also the Thousand Houses of the Jinyiwei. With so many responsibilities, he is unable to do anything."
After pausing, he looked at the expression of Emperor Tianqi and continued, "Your Majesty, if you are for Brother Zhang's sake, you shouldn't have given him such a heavy burden. You have to give him a slow breath. Otherwise, the Jinyiwei Qianhu..."
Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I trust him. Among the Jinyiwei, I must have someone who is particularly trustworthy."
Tian Ergeng had already spoken when he saw Wei Zhongxian, and was secretly happy. His godfather took action, which was indeed extraordinary!
If Zhang Jingyi was dismissed from the position of Qianhu, it would be great. Even if Zhang Jingyi became successful in the future, it had nothing to do with him, Tian Ergeng, as long as he was not Jinyiwei, he would be successful.
But Emperor Tianqi's words suddenly made Tian Ergeng fall to the bottom and his heart was cold.
Isn't trust enough as a commander? He is a thousand households...
Wei Zhongxian laughed dryly and said, "Yes, yes, your Majesty is very thoughtful, but I forgot this. But I thought that Huang Taiji has become a prisoner, but I still have resentment towards me, Daming. He does not take your Majesty seriously, so he is so tough. Such a person really never repents, but our Ming Dynasty still needs to waste people's wealth and paste, and offer this Huang Taiji with delicious food and drink. Every time I think about this, I will not be able to sleep or eat. If Your Majesty ignores him, I will be worried... Because of Brother Zhang's mistakes, Huang Taiji's conspiracy will succeed. He just wants to delay time, and I know this."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi thought about it. He needed to seriously consider this.
Capturing Huang Taiji is also considered a merit of Emperor Tianqi, and this is his divine stroke in his life.
Because of this, Emperor Tianqi naturally attaches great importance to it, and it also involves the strategy of pacifying Liao, so it is indeed not to be underestimated.
Emperor Tianqi thought for a while and said, "Summon Zhang Jingyi to ask?"
When Wei Zhongxian heard Zhang Jingyi summoning him to ask, he felt that it was inappropriate.
Wei Zhongxian has experienced Zhang Jingyi's ability!
I'm afraid that this move will definitely know that he is talking badly, let alone Zhang Jingyi's cleverness. When he came, he immediately made His Majesty happy, and instead made him Wei Zhongxian not human inside and outside.
Wei Zhongxian seemed to have a look at Tian Ergeng inadvertently.
Tian Ergeng seemed to have understood something and immediately said, "Your Majesty, this matter is not that simple. If you just ask routinely, I think it is very wrong, why not... why not go and see it yourself. Let's see how Huang Taiji... is going on?"
Wei Zhongxian also instigated: "It is mainly for the sake of seeing it. I am actually afraid that the fact that the storm is false, so I wrongly accuse Brother Zhang."
Emperor Tianqi thought it made sense, and he wanted to go and take a look, so he stood up and said, "Well, just take a look."
So Emperor Tianqi sneaked out of the palace in vain. Because he had no big fanfare, he only sat in a sedan chair and went out from the Meridian Gate.
But there were already a few people standing outside the Meridian Gate and stood there.
Emperor Tianqi saw them through the opened sedan window, and asked Wei Zhongxian who was walking to guard the side, "Who are those?"
"It's also from the Jinyiwei." Tian Ergeng, who was beside Wei Zhongxian, said: "One is Zhou Zhenggang, the commander-in-chief. This person is best at the prison of punishment, and he is a good player in the guards. This time, the minister went to the palace to report, and he also brought him, because he was afraid that His Majesty would care about the matter of the prison of punishment, so he asked him to wait here for an inquiry."
"Is he very powerful?" Emperor Aoki was suspicious.
Tian Ergeng immediately said: "This person is very capable. He can easily solve many major cases and criminals in his hands. When the criminals saw him, they could only cry and call him mother and be punished."
Wei Zhongxian also said on the side: "Your Majesty, I know a little about this person, and I am indeed a general."
"Then bring him with you."
As he said that, Emperor Aoki put down the curtain.
All the way to the new district.
Later, I didn't get enough time to appreciate the hustle and bustle of the new district, so I went straight to the new prison.
When he got outside the prison, he was stopped. Several Jinyiwei guards sternly said: "Who is it?"
Tian Ergeng had the emperor by his side and was full of confidence, so he shouted: "I am Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and now I will go in and interrogate the Qin criminals. You... lead the way."
He said, taking out the waist card from his waist, and was full of complacent intentions.
The two lieutenants in front of the door stood up straight with a solemn look on their faces, but immediately responded: "We are ordered to guard here. No one is allowed to enter and exit at will unless they get the quotation issued by Qianhu, Xinxian."
Tian Ergeng was furious. This was just a thousand-household office, and only two small lieutenants, so he didn't take him seriously, the commander?
So he said angrily: "Do you know..."
Before he could finish his words, one of the captains said, "We know nothing, we only recognize the guidance."
"Bold, you are arrogant, do you know that there are still people behind me..."
Tian Ergeng roared in anger. The people from the Jinyiwei were logically his subordinates. Not to mention the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, a senior official like the assistant minister, even if the Qianhu District of Xinxian County saw him, he should bow. The two small lieutenants in front of him... who gave them such courage?
But just as he roared.
As if the captain noticed the danger, he immediately pressed the handle of the knife around his waist, pulled out half of the knife with a swish, and the sharp blade was particularly dazzling.
Tian Ergeng's roar immediately stopped abruptly. He said nothing, and immediately trotted back to the side of the sedan chair and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have been in charge of the Jinyiwei for many years, but I have never seen anyone who is arrogant and domineering to this point..."
Emperor Tianqi said with a little dissatisfaction: "Domineering? You are the commander of the Jinyiwei. When you encounter such a thing, you should immediately pull out your sword and kill in. Whoever dares not follow you, kill you will be fine. Or you should abide by the rules and people will not let you in, so don't go in. What are you going to sue me?"
Tian Ergeng was extremely ashamed. He really wanted to kill in directly, but those two captains... were so strong that they were just a legitimate son.
Emperor Tianqi looked calm and said to the person: "Come here, go and invite Zhang Qing, let him put aside the brothel visits for a while, tell him that I am here, come quickly."
So the sedan chair fell outside the new prison, and Emperor Tianqi did not leave the sedan chair and just waited in the sedan chair.
To be honest, it is actually quite embarrassing. Fortunately, Emperor Aoki hid in the sedan chair, and as long as I didn't go out, it wasn't me who was embarrassed.
After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Jingyi led a group of people and came panting.
Wei Zhongxian whispered: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xinxian has come and brought a lot of people. It seems that they are accompanying him to visit the kiln... This is broad daylight..."
He was happy, and while talking, he looked up at Zhang Jingyi running towards him in a mess, and then... he saw a familiar figure!
This time... Wei Zhongxian was stunned, and then wiped his eyes, thinking that he had read it wrong.
When he saw it clearly... his mind was blank.
