Starting today's fifth update!
I thought there were no subscriptions to this book and no one reads it, so I updated it all to look at my mood. I didn’t expect that there were so many supportive readers and friends, and my conscience was discovered.
If you are lazy, you will castrate yourself by wielding your sword.
If the East Factory cannot be transferred, and the cousins from the Jinyiwei have conflicts, then there can only be Shuntian Mansion and Wucheng Military Command.
After all, these two yamen are also responsible for the public security of the capital.
Public security is a basket, and everything can be filled in.
Shuntian Mansion is easy to talk about. When the prefect heard what Wang Sheren meant, he immediately said that he would send a yamen runner to investigate and promise that the truth would be revealed, and he would find out all the conspiracy hidden in the capital, and give the capital a bright world!
At critical moments, civil servants are still reliable!
Wang Wenyan deeply wrote a series of prefects in Shuntian, saying that he would definitely report to the prince truthfully. This subtext of the sentence naturally tells the prefects of Shuntian, don’t worry and do it boldly, and you will definitely be good after the prince ascends the throne in the future.
"The Eastern Palace is the foundation of the country! Wei eunuchs are villains! The eunuchs in the ancestors are not allowed to interfere in politics, and the eunuchs are in power and force the court to force the people, intending to subvert the foundation of the country! This official is the right path and receives the emperor's kindness in the world. Please tell His Highness that the officials and eunuchs are swearing no to the same level as the eunuchs!"
Shuntian Mansion was upright, and then he began to arrange the staff of Shuntian Mansion to do things in front of Wang Wenyan. He paused repeatedly and asked Wang Wenyan what additions he had.
The latter was also a little flattered by the dignified third-rank prefecture governor Wang Wenyan, who was so polite and wise but not as sacrificial as a sacrificial person.
However, when Wang Sheren went to the Wucheng Military Affairs Office, the commander of the Shuntian Prefecture asked about the source of the rumors in the city, which was probably from the Office of the Inner Office and the Admiral Maritime Office in Zuo'anmen.
The master’s meaning: Since the prefect is preparing to conduct a thorough investigation and clearly support the Eastern Palace, should we send people directly to search the office?
In this way, the movement and stillness can be fully and comprehensively expressed to His Royal Highness the firm position of Shuntian Prefecture to His Royal Highness in a complete, all-round and unreserved manner.
"Yeah, uh"
What the master couldn't figure out was that after the empress, the envoy disappeared, which made him a little confused and he didn't dare to make a decision without authorization and asked someone to search the office.
In the Five Cities of the Military and Horses, Wang Wenyan felt a nobler courtesy than Shuntian Mansion.
To be precise, it is in the East City of Wucheng.
Because the Five Cities Military Affairs Office is not one yamen, but five yamen? It is affiliated to the Ministry of War.
The commanders of the military commanders of each city are all sixth ranks. The princess and fathers of the county have no officials. The princess and fathers are the commanders of the military commanders? The princess and fathers of the county have the deputy commanders.
But in fact, there are usually four deputy commanders of the military commanders of each city, all of whom are seventh ranks, and each is in charge of a bunch.
The commander of the Dongcheng Military Commander was Guo Jing (real name), the father of the former crown princess Guo.
Although the daughter has been dead for four or five years, as long as the crown prince has not been appointed for one day, Guo Jing will be the crown prince's father-in-law for one day. He enjoys all the treatment his daughter gives to her parents' family as the crown prince's concubine according to the system.
The commander of the Dongcheng Military Command is irresponsible, but he can't stand Guo Jing's son-in-law is the crown prince. Who dares not give the crown prince face? Therefore, Guo Jing has more real power than the other four commanders.
However, after all, the daughter is gone. The daughter has not left her children, so Guo Jing and the prince, the son-in-law, have not been too busy in recent years. In addition to the nominal relationship, the son-in-law also owed his father-in-law more than 200,000 taels of silver.
The money was borrowed by the Guo family from the East Palace, and it was impossible for the prince not to repay it in terms of reason, so the interest over the years was paid normally.
"Early those people wanted to buy the East Palace loan note from me? I felt that these people had a ghost at that time, but as expected, these people wanted to make things difficult for His Highness to borrow money shortages from the East Palace, to ruin His Highness's reputation? In order to achieve their unspeakable goal."
Guo Jing was also a hindsight. If he really knew that there was such a disaster today, he should have told his son-in-law at the beginning. But he didn't say it? And in order to alleviate the debt pressure, he also secretly transferred 50,000 taels of debt, but it would be inconvenient for him to say this to Wang Wenyan.
Everyone has difficulties.
Every family also has times to worry about money.
"There are rumors everywhere in the Dongcheng area, and I have long wanted to investigate thoroughly. If the servants don't come today, I am also going to discuss with the four of them to investigate this matter."
Guo Jing was really condescending and personally poured tea for Wang Wenyan, but the latter could not even speak.
"Sharing your highness's worries is the matter of the military commanders of the five cities. Please tell your Highness that I dare not say anything about other lands, but there will definitely be no accident in the East City."
Guo Jing patted his chest, and Wang Wenyan also believed that the prince's father-in-law would do his best. After that, he went to the other military and horse yamen offices, and the guarantees he received were almost the same, especially Meng Guozhong, the deputy commander of the Nancheng Military and Horse sect, who was actually in charge of the military and horse sect, was almost heartbroken to him to express his loyalty to His Highness the Prince.
"Mr. Meng doesn't have to do this. Your loyal Highness knows it. Otherwise, how dare Wang visit him?" Perhaps when he was with the Donglin Party members on weekdays, Wang Wenyan always consciously put himself on the "weak" side. He suddenly became extremely respected. He was really uncomfortable for a while.
"There are many people in Nancheng, and among the five cities, the area of Nancheng is the most chaotic, and the ignorant people are the most."
Meng Guozhong and Wang Wenyan said while walking, "I have issued a flag order. Within half an hour, the soldiers under the Nancheng Military and Horse Office will be able to gather together. Let's catch some people who spread rumors first."
Meng Guozhong had rude methods and did not check the source of the nursery rhymes first, but instead caught some disseminators first, killing chickens to show the monkeys, so that those ignorant people would know that the consequences would be given when talking nonsense.
Wang Wenyan thought about Meng Guozhong's actions, which seemed rough and could easily cause the people to rebound. But it could be surprisingly effective. The so-called heavy dictation in troubled times is impossible to figure out who the rumors are spreading in a short time, then block it first. The people dare not spread it, and it will not affect the hearts of the people in the city in a moment.
As for the future, it is not the issue we are considering now.
There is no need to consider it. As long as the prince ascends the throne successfully, what else is there?
The two were walking, but they saw more than a dozen people carrying red cloths into the yamen. Wang Wenyan asked Meng Guozhong curiously what these red cloths were used for.
Although the capital is now panic because the Wei eunuchs are at the city, it is also the period of the empress's mourning. According to the system, the people in the capital are all white and cannot use red.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of Lord Wang laughing. Our military officers don't have much investment on weekdays, so,"
Meng Guozhong felt embarrassed to continue talking. Wang Wenyan understood immediately. The cloths were made by the Nancheng Military and Ma Si, but he didn't know if they were blackmailed or swallowed by some reason.
This kind of thing is no longer surprising.
"Then I will be in command of Lao Meng, Wang will say goodbye first!"
Wang Wenyan raised his hand and bowed, and Meng Guozhong hurriedly sent him to the door again. After Wang Wenyan walked away, Commander Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and then trotted all the way back to the back hall of the yamen where dozens of women were embroidering their characters on flags made of red cloth.
"The hands and feet are getting faster. The Imperial Army will enter the city soon. These flags must be driven out as soon as possible."
