Chapter 109

At the end of March, Zhao Yinshi became the general of Youyawei Wuwei.As soon as he took office, he ran into a difficult thing.

The emperor ordered to rectify the atmosphere in the palace, and demanded a thorough investigation of the cases of abuse of lynching by the Imperial Army and the Punishment Division over the years since Suihe. Because of the rewards for reporting, more than a thousand people were caught at once.

According to the law, these people will be dismissed from their official positions and expelled from the capital, and they will not return to the capital until they die.

However, Zhao Yin actually stated that there were those who reported maliciously due to personal grievances, and those who were innocent and implicated, which cannot be generalized.After the memorial was rejected by the furious emperor, he knelt outside the Wenxuan Hall for two hours, and after being scolded by the emperor, he begged the emperor for a three-day grace period to allow him to examine the school's facts. More than a thousand people were screened.

For a time, there was an endless stream of people who came to find Zhao Yinshi to intercede.

But all of them were rejected by him.

It's also reasonable.

This was his first errand after taking office in the imperial army, and he also issued a military order in front of the emperor, so he definitely did not dare to favoritism.

Zhao Yinshi did not sleep for two days and two nights. He pulled out the past files, read them one by one, and finally drew up a list of more than [-] people on the third night, and attached the files to prove that These people are innocent.

Ye Qinghuai randomly checked several people, and found that Zhao Yinshi's statement was true, so he followed Zhao Yinshi's petition, and finally only punished the remaining 700 people.

The 8000-strong Youyawei lost hundreds of people in the palace change a few days ago, and now 700 people have been demoted, and one of the seven has gone all at once, and all divisions are short of manpower.

Zhao Yinshi took advantage of the situation and proposed to reform the Youyawei and reorganize the personnel.

On the first day of April, the night was already deep, but there was no intention of resting in Jingshou Palace.

The door of Qinxian Palace is closed.

Inside the room, Ye Qinghuai and Zhao Yinshi sat across from each other. On the desk between them was a piece of paper that was as long as a book case. There were lines on it, and the establishment and names of the principals of the Youyawei divisions were written on it. As well as the affiliation between the various divisions, the neat lowercase letters are all written by Zhao Yinshi.

Ye Qinghuai was holding a pen to modify it.

She and Zhao Yinshi have been discussing this new Youyawei organization for several hours.

"I still think that the most important thing should be the divisions stationed at the palace gate. These positions must use the most reliable people, give them the highest official position and the most salary."

"The final general agrees with the first half of His Majesty's sentence, but the official position of the imperial army is determined according to the number of people under its jurisdiction, but the number of people under the jurisdiction of each sect is very small, which is incomparable with the front hall in charge of the guard of honor. Even the largest sect Chengtianmen There are no more than 200 guards under its jurisdiction, and only Weiwei can be assigned to the post."

"Then create a separate guard battalion out of this set of establishments, and Zhen Zhili will be in charge of all the sects, and have a specific establishment for this guard battalion."

"Although this is convenient for coordinating the divisions, it is equivalent to handing over the security of the entire inner palace to the commander of the guard battalion. The general thinks it is too risky."

The monarch and his subjects fell into silence.

At this time, there were two knocks on the palace door, and then Li Baoquan's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed."

Ye Qinghuai looked out the window, sighed lightly, and said, "It's already this time."

She stood up and pointed on the manuscript: "You should change these few places first, and we will discuss the matters of the various sects tomorrow. By the way, how is the Youyawei now? But there are still thorns of disobedience." head?"

Zhao Yinshi stood up, bowed to her, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, everything is stable now. Those who took the lead in provoking trouble have already been dismissed for this punishment."

Ye Qinghuai nodded.

The thorough investigation of the old case of Youyawei this time was originally a drama that she discussed with Zhao Yinshi to act in order to establish Zhao Yinshi's prestige, reorganize the organization of Youyawei by the way, and break up the collusion of interests in various divisions and offices. small group.

So far, it looks good.

This part is due to Ye Qinghuai's acting skills. The more vicious she is to Zhao Yinshi, the more rare it is for Zhao Yinshi to defy the power and insist on protecting his subordinates, and the more grateful he can be.

On the other hand, it is due to Zhao Yinshi's ability.

I have to say that he did this job impeccably.Even Ye Qinghuai sighed in his heart, if the Dajing court were all fair and capable ministers like him, what else could not be done?
"It's been hard for you these few days, and you haven't slept well, right? Let's rest earlier today." After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, he told Li Baoquan outside the hall, "Li Baoquan, the mountain that the governor of Yingzhou sent up at the beginning of the year Ginseng, take two big ones and bring them back to General Zhao."

"Your Majesty—" Yingzhou's wild ginseng is famous all over the world. The wild ginseng presented to the emperor by the governor of Yingzhou has always been used by the emperor himself or given to foreign guests as a state gift, and rarely rewarded to his courtiers.When Zhao Yinshi heard this, he immediately refused.

Ye Qinghuai raised her hand to interrupt him, and smiled at him: "General Zhao, the current situation is turbulent, and you are my only reliance in the capital army. You must take care of yourself."

Her earnest words made Zhao Yinshi's heart warm, and he knelt down to thank him and said: "Your Majesty Long En, the last general will never dare to bear it!"

Ye Qinghuai patted him on the shoulder lightly and said, "Go."

He bowed again before following Li Baoquan.

Not long after they left, Aunt Fanghua came in.

"Is Your Majesty going to wash up?" She couldn't wait for Ye Qinghuai in the bedroom, so she came to ask in person.

Ye Qinghuai was still studying the drawing of the Youyawei on the case, without raising his head, he said, "Wait a little longer. Eunuch Li probably has something to ask me for."

Li Baoquan never knocked on the door to disturb her when she was talking with people in Qinxian Hall, this time it was abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Sure enough, after Li Baoquan got the mountain ginseng for Zhao Yinshi, he came to look for Ye Qinghuai as soon as he returned to Jingshou Palace.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the pawnshop." Li Baoquan took out a bamboo tube and handed it to Ye Qinghuai.

Ever since meeting Tao Yuan, Ye Qinghuai has been asking Li Baoquanan to send someone to Huisheng's pawn every morning to get the report from Yingwei.

But this morning there was no report.

"In the morning, the pawnbroker told me to come back later because there might be some important news. The slave went there in person at night, and sure enough there was news," Li Baoquan explained.

Ye Qinghuai nodded and waved him back.

When Li Baoquan left, he closed the palace gate.

Ye Qinghuai was the only one left in the hall.Looking at the bamboo tube in front of her, her expression sank, and her intuition told her that there would be no good news in it.

Ye Qinghuai poured two drops of liquid medicine into the basin according to the method Tao Yuan said, and then took out a piece of blank white paper from the bamboo tube and immersed it in the water.

Handwriting gradually emerged on the white paper.

Ye Qinghuai fished out the paper and put it on the table.

She only glanced at it, and her expression suddenly became serious.
