Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty: A Unique Reward
Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "In addition, what kind of military horse is this man mentioned? Your Majesty, now, I am afraid that I must count on the factory guards."
Emperor Aoki still felt a little scared.
After all, he was a little bit short of it.
At this time, he said: "These people are not eliminated for a day, and the palace is not peaceful for a day. There are tens of thousands of people in the Forbidden City, and so many people... They only need to buy one or two, and I will have no safety. Such things cannot happen again."
After saying that, he immediately turned his eyes on Wei Zhongxian and said, "Parent Wei..."
Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhang Jingyi gratefully.
In fact, if Zhang Jingyi had not found the prince and proved that the prince was still in the palace, I would have been afraid that Wei Zhongxian would be responsible for his crime.
After all, he had already set up defenses in the Forbidden City before, claiming that even a fly could not fly out. If the prince was really suspected of taking it out of the palace, would he have a good life?
What's more, if the prince cannot be found, Wei Zhongxian's good life will not last long.
Now His Majesty’s way of handling world affairs has become increasingly radical.
The reason for radicalism is that the world has long been corrupt and it is impossible to do so without taking strong medicine.
The implementer of these radical means is Wei Zhongxian.
Of course, as long as His Majesty is still there, he will not worry.
Your Highness Changsheng is His Majesty's parent-child. As long as you train well in the future and recognize his father, you don't have to worry about Wei Zhongxian's retreat. You can always live your life and get out of here when you get old.
But if the emperor's own son is not the emperor's own son in the future, it will obviously be different.
One day the emperor and another day the minister, let alone a factory minister like him who was once a high-ranking and powerful, would undoubtedly die.
Whether emotionally or in terms of interests, Wei Zhongxian was happy to find His Highness Changsheng to be successful.
He is in a good mood now and feels relieved all of a sudden. The haze in the past two days will be tense, and naturally it will be wiped out.
Emperor Tianqi called him.
Wei Zhongxian immediately said, "I am here."
Emperor Tianqi said: "We must send our confidants to guard the prince at any time, and we will not be able to lose anything."
"Don't worry, your majesty, it was my fault before. This time, I will definitely make up for the merits." Wei Zhongxian swears: "In the palace... I'm afraid I have to sort out all the mistakes in my daily life, or those who love to complain on the day, I will send them to guard the tombs of the ancestors. What do you think?"
"Yes." Emperor Aoki said: "Leave these to you."
Emperor Tianqi thought about it and said, "Now, isn't the clues broken? Liu Neng obviously answered what he should have answered, and the imperial doctor is dead... Now all the clues are gone..."
Zhang Jing shone with a gleam in his eyes and shook his head and said, "It's not broken yet. There is still a clue here."
Emperor Tianqi was stunned and stared at Zhang Jingyi: "There are still clues?"
"Yes." Zhang Jingyi said: "I will find out the whole story as soon as possible. I must bring the mastermind behind this scene to justice! A few days ago, I sent Huang Taiji to Liaodong. On the surface, it was to discuss peace with the Jiannu people, but in fact it was to test the reality of the Jiannu people, and it was also to take this opportunity to deliberately knock on the mountain and shock the tiger."
"Those merchants are afraid that they can't stay outside the pass. Even if the Jiannu and the Mongols are willing to let them continue, Your Majesty... think... they still dare to stay?"
Emperor Tianqi pondered and seemed to have begun to be inspired.
Wei Zhongxian immediately smiled and said, "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful! These merchants are the most cunning, and these cunning people are the most suspicious. As long as they know that Huang Taiji has gone to Liaodong, they may talk about peace talks and trade, they will be in a mess."
"This trick is specifically for smart people. If they are stupid people, of course they should eat and drink. But these people are all tricky people. They must be restless day and night. They always feel that both the Jiannu and the Mongols may betray them at any time. Not only that, they are even more worried that once the peace talks and trades are successful, the Jiannu and the Mongols feel that they have no value to use and directly attack them."
Wei Zhongxian continued with a smile: "After all, they, the Jiannu people, and the Mongols are just doing business. They are just using each other. At this time... I am afraid that they are all burning inside. Thinking that the tribesmen are following them outside the pass, they are extremely dangerous and have no relatives there. This is equivalent to handing over the lives of their own clans to those who are not at ease."
Wei Zhongxian shook his head and continued, "Instead of sitting there waiting for death, if it were us, we would rather enter the pass and fight to the death."
This is the truth, because Wei Zhongxian is also a smart person.
Whether Zhang Jingyi’s so-called peace talks and trading can succeed was actually not expected from the beginning. But what would you think if you were those businessmen?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, the wind is heard and the plants are full of soldiers, and the merchants dare not take the risk to continue to stay. They are even more worried and hand over the lives of their entire tribe to the Jiannu and Mongolians.
Besides, most of their wealth is still within the pass, and can they never return to the pass?
They will come back sooner or later, and they are afraid that their homesickness will have already occurred.
Wei Zhongxian was shocked: "If they want to be anxious, they should be careful. After all, many people are their accomplices and they have given many benefits to them on weekdays. Although they are all in the face of disaster, they are afraid that things will be exposed, so they will try their best to cover them."
"But where will they enter the pass? What status will they pretend to be after entering the pass, and where will they settle down in the end? Your Majesty, I will find a way to keep my ears and eyes wide at the passes everywhere, and maybe there may be some clues."
Emperor Tianqi also nodded and excitedly said, "It's so great. If you can take them down and get their wealth, I'm afraid that you will never spend all your money in this life."
When the silver was mentioned, Emperor Aoki immediately became furious.
It seems that I forgot for a moment that my son just got lost.
The whole person's spirit is completely different.
Zhang Jing thought to himself: I can’t spend all my money in my life? Your Majesty, there is nothing I can spend all my money. You will know when you really have more money.
At this time, Emperor Tianqi said, "Zhang Qing, have you not planned to come your charter yet?"
Oh, yes, the charter...
After being reminded by Emperor Tianqi, Zhang Jing quickly took out a charter on the expansion of the Donglin Military Academy and sent it to Emperor Tianqi.
Emperor Tianqi immediately took it, looked at it quickly, and said, "I am too lazy to see it every year, so tell me directly."
Zhang Jingyi said: "Because it is free to recruit people to school, provide food, and even provide some living expenses every month, plus other expenses, I am afraid that it will take 1.2 million taels of silver to be tattooed over a year, and that's not including some special expenses, so I think it's a must-have about 1.8 million taels of silver to be tattooed."
"So many!" Emperor Aoki was startled and asked immediately: "How many people need to be expanded?"
"There are four thousand now, and three teaching teams are all organized into a scale of thousands of people. Adding a civil engineering teaching team, there are also thousands of people. Of course, these expenses are not all expenses, and they involve some special expenses, such as... the purchase of some new weapons and new weapons is often much higher. And..."
This one million and two hundred thousand taels of silver can almost raise half of the Liaodong military horses.
Although he was a little surprised, Emperor Aoki said indifferently: "Okay, it's accurate."
So he directly returned the charter to Zhang Jingyi, and then said, "Remember, I want talents and a lot of talents. Although I am still a little short of money now, no matter how poor I am... go and tell them that even if all my officials starve to death, I will definitely spend a penny on my students."
Zhang Jingyi didn't expect that Emperor Aoqi promised so well. When he drafted the charter, he was afraid that he would scare Emperor Aoqi and wanted to reduce the organization and expenses several times.
Emperor Tianqi's generousness made Zhang Jingyi breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "I know, I will tell them when I go back."
Emperor Tianqi exclaimed and said, "Donglin Military Academy has already been related to the new policy in the future and to the country. You must be careful, you must be careful."
Zhang Jingyi responded carefully and then said, "It's getting late, so I'll say goodbye. If you find clues in the past few days, come and report it."
Wei Zhongxian said at this time: "Your Majesty, I will send you a gift to Brother Zhang."
Emperor Aoki nodded, not thinking that there was anything wrong with reason.
So Zhang Jingyi and Wei Zhongxian walked out of the Da Nei. After leaving the Da Nei, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "This time, I really solved the urgent problem. Sometimes I really envy Brother Zhang. There are so many elite soldiers and generals under my command."
Zhang Jingyi also smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wei, don't say that. You have ten dogs and ten leopards under your command. I wonder how many capable people are."
Wei Zhongxian shook his head: "This is different. Your people are cultivated all the way. They share weal and woe with you. We are a eunuch, a eunuch... who can we cultivate? It's just that we embrace all the rivers, bringing together a group of people who are competing for power, or wanting to use it to support us, so that we can teach ourselves to show our ambitions. These people... all look like they have the ability to be very capable, but we don't know where this ability is used."
Wei Zhongxian smiled again and said, "If we look at our personal abilities, all of us are talented people. Those below you are definitely not able to compare. But if you really want to do things... Alas... For example, Tian Ergeng... He is getting more and more disappointing to us."
After hearing this, Zhang Jing immediately understood something.
Wei Zhongxian was discussing with him about Tian Ergeng.
The question is, why did Wei Zhongxian mention this person to him?
Could it be...
