Chapter 75 A Hand Letter
The next morning, Li Weizheng received an order from the Jinyiwei Pacification Department, ordering him to go to the official office to report immediately. Commander Jiang wanted to see him. This was the first time Li Weizheng had been in the Jinyiwei 100 households since he was appointed as the Jinyiwei Pacification Office. The first boss he saw was Jiang Yun, the highest power leader in the Jinyiwei.
The Jinyiwei Office is located on Baihu Street in the front of the imperial city, surrounded by the highest military institutions of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Five Army Governor's Office opposite, etc. Currently, there are five guards under the Jinyiwei, with five thousand household officials. Currently, there are more than 5,000 ordinary Jinyiwei lieutenants, divided into two parts. One is the emperor's left and right ceremonial guards, each of which is tall and powerful, also known as the "General of the Han Dynasty", with a total of 1,500 people, and the other is the emperor's secret service agency, with four thousand household officials and more than 3,000 people. Li Weizheng joined the latter type, which is also the Jinyiwei in the usual sense.
The Jinyiwei divided into two northern and southern vassal departments. Among them, the Beizhenfushishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishi
The Nanzhen Fushi is responsible for the laws and military disciplines of the guards. It is the internal management structure of the Jinyiwei, and its jurisdiction also involves the "Han General" guards in the palace.
Li Wei was taken to the office by an official, but did not go to see Jiang Yan immediately, but changed his Qilin suit in the outer room and equipped it with an embroidered spring knife.
When it comes to the wear of the Jinyiwei, people will have an image of a man wearing a flying fish suit and embroidered spring sword on his waist. In fact, this is not completely correct. Embroidered spring swords can be worn by everyone, but clothing is a symbol of a person's status, so how can everyone be the same?
Only middle and senior officials of the Jinyiwei who are above the sixth rank can wear flying fish suits and Qilin suits. This is because the flying fish suits and Qilin suits themselves are the Ming Dynasty suits. Among them, the flying fish suits are second only to the bullfighting robe in the Ming Dynasty suits and belong to the second rank court uniforms. The Qilin suits are the court uniforms of fourth and fifth rank officials. Therefore, the Jinyiwei wears flying fish suits. The Qilin suits are a symbol of honor and status. They are not worn by all members. They can only be held by officials of more than a hundred households. Low officials of Jinyiwei and ordinary school lieutenants of Jinyiwei who are below a hundred households wear armor or armor, and their appearance is no different from ordinary military uniforms.
However, there is a special thing about the clothing of Jinyiwei, that is, the color is gold. Whether it is flying fish clothes, Qilin clothes, or armor, they are dazzling gold. They are completely different from ordinary officials, very bright and dazzling, and they can recognize the special identity of Jinyiwei at a glance.
Li Weizheng was wearing a golden kirin suit. He was tall and burly, and his embroidered spring sword was even more majestic. The officials who led him warned him a few more words and led him to the house where Jiang Yan was working.
The room consists of two rooms inside and outside. There are more than a dozen clerks sitting outside, responsible for sorting documents and writing reports. Now it is the busy time in the morning. Various reports sent by thousands of households in the Jinyiwei are piled up, and the clerks are so busy that they can't even raise their heads. They read and sort out various reports. They dare not read some marked important reports, and they are all delivered to a middle-aged scholar, and then reviewed them and submitted them to the commander.
The scholar was about forty years old. His name was Lu Siyuan. He was handsome and had a friendly smile. He was Jiang Yan's pen and a close aide. Many important notices of the Jinyiwei were taken by him, and some major action plans were planned by him. Although he had no specific positions, all officials from all over the Jinyiwei were afraid of him and privately called him the "Drug Xiushi".
When he saw Li Weizheng coming in, he smiled and nodded to him, pointing to the inner room, meaning that Lord Jiang is waiting for you! Although Li Weizheng didn't know who he was, the seat he sat in the room was completely different from his age and his calm demeanor, and he was obviously a special person. Li Weizheng also bowed respectfully to him, and Lu Siyuan's smile became even more touching, and he kept watching Li Weizheng enter the room.
Jiang Yan was smashed three teeth by Zhu Yuanzhang's inkstone last night. Half of his face was dyed dark by ink. It has not been completely washed yet, making a faint dark look on his face. He has been gloomy from this morning to now, without saying a word. His subordinates don't know what happened, and they are extremely afraid of him.
Early this morning, Jiang Yan received an oral order from the eunuch, and ordered Li Weizheng to go to the Jinyiwei Office to serve. This was actually Li Weizheng's official appointment. The Jinyiwei had a very special status and was directly under the emperor. The appointment and removal of middle and lower-level officials were all real powers of commanders. He did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered Li Weizheng to report. It seemed that this was a very normal thing for ordinary people, but only Jiang Yan, who had experienced the painful lesson last night, knew that today's appointment was extraordinary, which meant that Li Weizheng's households were personally recognized by the emperor.
A small hundred household was actually valued by the emperor. Jiang Yan would not take it lightly, and he was the prince's confidant, so he had to personally meet Li Weizheng, whether it was encouraging or tempting, in short, he had to express his opinion to the prince.
He had just received a copy of the emperor's handwriting sent from the palace. Just as he was about to take a closer look, a news came from outside the door, "My commander, Li Wei has already brought it."
"Come in!" Jiang Yan opened the drawer, put the handwriting in, and looked at his face from a mirror hidden in the drawer. The light was very dark and he couldn't see the ink marks on his face.
After a moment, the door was pushed open, and Li Weizheng walked in from outside. He was only a hundred households, and there were also deputy thousand households, Qian households, North and South Punishment envoy, Commander, Commander, and finally the commander. Although he was the prince's confidant, he had a low position after all. He stepped forward and knelt down on his left knee and said, "Li Weizheng met with Commander."
It was also the first time Jiang Yan saw Li Weizheng. The hundred households that caused him to be beaten yesterday. He looked up and down at Li Weizheng and said lightly: "Get up!"
Li Wei was just listening to his speech vaguely, as if he was leaking from his mouth. He stood up but didn't dare to say anything more.
"After entering the Jinyiwei, you must abide by the military discipline and military rules of the Jinyiwei, and pay attention to the etiquette of the superiors and subordinates. According to regulations, you should be just an ordinary strongman and a captain when you first enter the Jinyiwei, and then gradually improve by your ability and achievements, but you are promoted exceptionally. You should understand the reason in your heart."
After saying that, he looked at Li Weizheng coldly and waited for his answer.
Li Weizheng bowed and replied, "I understand that my subordinates will be humble and cautious in their actions and will not let the commander make it difficult for the generals."
Jiang Yan nodded. What he wanted was Li Weizheng's words. If Li Weizheng relied on the prince's backstage, he would not be able to control his subordinates in the future.
"Although you are a hundred households, you are new to you. According to regulations, you have to train for three months before you can perform official duties. No one has ever made this example. I don't want to take special care of you, do you understand?"
"The subordinates follow the arrangements of the adults."
Jiang Yan smiled and pulled the rope beside him. After a moment, a clerk walked in. Jiang Yan pointed at Li Wei and said to him: "Take Li Baihu to the Nanzhen Fushi and hand it over to Wang Zhenfushi."
"Yes!" The clerk bowed and said to Li Wei, "Please follow me with all households."
Li Wei was leaving, Jiang Qi took out the emperor's handwriting from the drawer again, looked it quickly, couldn't help but take a breath, and immediately pulled the rope. His aide Lu Siyuan walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Sir, are you calling me?"
Jiang Yan nodded and said to him: "Li Weizheng just now, I have sent him to training as you suggest, and I will not arrange my position for the time being."
In fact, it is a rule for a newcomer to train for three months, but it is not absolute. Li Wei is a hundred households and he does not need to participate in the training at all. However, Lu Siyuan believes that since Li Weizheng is the prince's person, his arrangements should be decided by the prince. Before the prince makes his statement, he cannot arrange his specific position. Therefore, he suggested practicing Tai Chi and let Li Weizheng go to the training for three months first and wait for the prince's opinion. Jiang Zi deeply agrees with this suggestion, and the emperor seems to be a little interested in this person, so he really cannot be careless.
After Jiang Yan talked about Li Weizheng's incident, he handed Zhu Yuanzhang's handwriting to Lu Siyuan and said worriedly: "What should you do about this matter?"
Lu Siyuan took the handwriting and read it, and he was also surprised. The handwriting actually asked Jiang Yan to deal with the sons of King Zhu Gang of Jin and Lan Yu. And just one sentence, what should be done specifically, but the handwriting did not make any clear statement.
Jiang Yan sighed and said, "This must be because the emperor was furious about the case of extortion of the letter, but he should at least tell me a bottom line. What should I do now?"
Lu Siyuan pondered for a long time, and Fang Xuxu said: "Sir, I think this seems to be the same thing, but it is actually two things, and it should be handled separately."
Jiang Yan was excited and asked quickly: "Tell me quickly, how can I deal with it separately."
"It's very simple. One is the general who is in his scruples, and the other is his biological son. Do you think you should treat everyone equally?"
Jiang Yan let out a long sigh. Lu Siyuan was right. The emperor did not let Lan Yu be the general of the Northern Expedition at the beginning of the year, but he was suspicious of him. This time he asked himself to deal with Lan Yu's son, but in fact he wanted to take advantage of the problem and beat Lan Yu, so he could not be lenient.
He pondered for a moment and asked again, "What solution do you have?"
"It's very simple!" Lu Siyuan smiled sinisterly and said, "I heard that Lan Yu's fake son was rampant in the countryside, insulting the girl in the field and doing evil. Lan Yu was fighting outside, so it can be said that he was unaware of it, but his son could not escape the blame. You can send Fengyang Jinyiwei to investigate the matter as soon as possible and give the emperor an excuse to deal with Lan Yu's son with righteousness."
"Okay!" Jiang Qi was extremely supportive of this method. At that time, Hu Weiyong, the respect for the country, had his son who was rampant and had committed suicide, and was killed by the emperor. Now Lan Yu's son can use the same trick again.
He suddenly frowned and asked again: "The son of Lan Yu can deal with it like this, so what should King Jin do?"
Lu Siyuan thought for a while and said, "I think that you must be careful when dealing with the King of Jin. You must not be too over-the-top, nor too light. You must be satisfied with the emperor."
"Of course I know this. I'm asking you about the specific plan." Jiang Yan said with some dissatisfaction.
Lu Siyuan did not answer. He was thinking about another thing. Could this achieve his wish? He thought for a long time and then said carefully: "It's better to let the King of Jin condemn himself."
