Slaying the enemy Mao Rong with his hands was accomplished so easily.

Mao Rong, Mao Wen and his son were the ones who separated him from Yuan Zhi, and he couldn't let them go.

In the past, he was an official of the imperial court, so he had to pay attention to his behavior.

But now, Ding You is at home, and he doesn't plan to continue to be an official in the future. This is an excellent opportunity for revenge.

Huaian was a little worried.

"Third Master, that's all for the mother of Cui Gong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, just buy the maids and nurses around the old lady, and it is easy to clean up, but Mao Rong is the general of Fengjiang after all, so we will easily provoke revenge. "

At that critical period when Yao Kui and Cui Gong competed for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, although Cui Gong won, but Cui Gong only took the position for three to five months, because of the death of his old mother, he had to worry about Ding.

The key position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials fell to Yao Kui, who was in the heart of the emperor.

Xu Chun played the role of the black hand behind the scenes in this competition.This is also the inspiration he found from the incident where Li Xian's father died suddenly and Ding You was taken away by the emperor.

The emperor, who was threatened by the relative party, grabbed Li Xian as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw. Whatever he said would make Li Xian lose his love.

But now the world has changed.In the matter of weeping and admonishing Wenhua Gate, Yao Kui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, played a great role in mobilizing civil and military officials and honorable officials to plead for the Empress Dowager Qian. In fact, he gave great support to the emperor and his relatives. .

The emperor became more determined. If he wanted to overthrow the relative party, the Jiangnan faction must be the main attack!Cui Gong, the northerner who was in the way, would naturally be sent home by the emperor to Ding You, and Yao Kui's appointment as Minister of the Ministry of Officials was reasonable and reasonable.

Xu Chun smiled lightly: "Don't worry. We were not the only ones who killed Mao Rong. According to my guess, there are at least three other forces who wanted to put him to death. We just pushed the boat along the way. Among them, a family from Guangxi finally succeeded. Chieftain forces."

Huai'an was puzzled: "Then Mao Rongbu has only been in Guangxi for two or three months, so he wouldn't have offended the chieftain of Guangxi so quickly, right?"

Xu Chun shook his head: "Mao Rong also served in Guangxi in the early years, but was later dismissed on the charge of colluding with the servants. Maybe he offended people during that period. However, this has little to do with us. It's a pity that Mao Wen's fate is big. , escaped a catastrophe. As long as Mao Rong dies, Yuanzhi will be avenged for the loss of his son, and our plan will not be in vain."

Xu Chun has now made up his mind to return to the darkness. Like his great uncle Xu Lin, he is strategizing to provide assistance and clear obstacles for the officials of the Jiangnan faction who are rushing forward.

It is very easy to use the power in your hands to seek some self-interest for yourself.

Huai'an felt sorry for Xu Chun: "Third Master, you were born as a Jinshi in two lists, and you have been an official of the sixth-rank military department in just two years after entering the official position. In the future, you may not be able to become a minister, minister, or even a cabinet. Give up your bright future and do these shady things?"

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Xu Chun said lightly: "Being an official is too unfree. It seems to be honor, but what you lose is also bound by a lot. In the wild, the power may not be small, and you can protect the people you want to protect. Why not?"

Fang Yuanzhi's heroic and unrestrained attitude flashed through Huai'an's mind, and then the dignity and generosity of Peng Yun, the wife of Xu's house in Suzhou, so he had to bow his head and stop talking.

All his servants know that Peng Yun is dignified and respectful, and is the best candidate for a wife, much better than Fang Yuanzhi who always disguises herself as a man. How about thinking about Fang Yuanzhi who has already fallen into the embrace of the emperor?

If it is said that what is not available is the best, but the third master has obtained Fang Yuanzhi more than once, why did he insist on hanging on her tree?
Huai'an didn't know about the imperial decree of marriage, and he only knew a part of Xu Chun and Fang Yuanzhi's entanglement and past.

The murder of the wet nurse's in-laws soon spread to the emperor's ears.

He issued an oral order to the two departments of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War: "There are too many soldiers and horses in the five cities who are incompetent. The Ministry of Officials will join the Ministry of War and the guards in Jinyi. If they are not qualified, they will be transferred to other posts. Don't choose someone who is talented to replace them."

The Wucheng Bingmasi has long been under the control of the relatives and nobles who have been immersed in the capital for many years. The thieves in the capital have been rampant and have been suppressed repeatedly, which has a lot to do with the inaction of the Wucheng Bingmasi.

So Shangshu Yao Kui, Bai Gui and others selected eight commanders, including Zhang Ning, who were suitable for the post, and Fu Run and other 22 members were not suitable for the post.

Yao Kui said impassionedly: "The soldiers and horses are set up to guard against traitors, stop arresting thieves, dredge ditches, and patrol wind and fire, and their responsibilities are quite heavy.

Recently, internal and external officials and various powers must not follow the old system, and everything, regardless of public or private, is justified, and thus insulted, and the disadvantages of the servants are not one end, begging to strictly prohibit the former disadvantages, a little more power, and still add a deputy commander The two members are responsible for their affairs, and those who are not in office will be dismissed. "

Zhu Jianshen adopted Yao Kui's opinion and promulgated a decree: From now on, the soldiers and horses follow the old rules, and internal and external officials are not allowed to dispatch without authorization. Some soldiers who serve as soldiers and horses in the five cities will be allowed to go directly to the court if they violate it.

Not long after, Zhu Jianshen issued another decree: There are thieves in and out of the capital, and Jin Yiwei, the soldier and horse commander, should be arrested by the government.

Commander Zhang Ning and others played: "Families of internal and external officials, warriors, craftsmen, etc., often rely on their power and refuse to sit in the shop. Soldiers, horses, fire armors are disturbed by miscellaneous tasks, such as the Ministry of Criminal Examination, Jin Yiwei allocating houses, and the city Cao's execution of prisoners." Nanhaizi inspects, Shenmu factory cherishes salary department, and Daciren Temple guards and inspects factories, cleaning everything.

In the meantime, as for the internal officials to release river lanterns and the like, they often chase soldiers and horses in a hurry, humiliate them in the market if they don't like it, and run around in a day.

Beg each city to add one official and [-] archers, so that all officials can look forward to the court, and specialize in patrolling the streets and nights. "

Zhu Jianshen did not expect that the Wucheng soldiers and horses in the capital had raised so many uncles from official families.

These officials and eunuchs refused to work in person, and hired someone to be on duty for them.When the hired person sees thieves and robbers, he closes the door and does not dare to come out. He just waits to go out the next morning to report that there are robbers, robbing property or hurting people or not.

Zhu Jianshen had no other options, so he could only decree: "Since the post of soldiers and horses is specialized, if you continue to neglect and make mistakes, you will be punished with serious crimes."

However, the matter of sitting in the shop caused a great negative impact in the capital.

Sitting on the shop is also on duty.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient manpower, the Wucheng Bingma Division selected households with a large number of families from among the residents of the capital to be on duty, changing every three months, and the cost of night watch was paid by this household.

However, it is a hard job to be on duty for each armor of the Wucheng Bingma Division. Even if someone is on duty, if there is not enough money for paper, pens, lamps and candles, he needs to take out his own money to fill it.As for honorable Bingyong from the Jinyiwei Banner School, the night watchman often asked the on-duty staff for food and drink, and beat them if they didn't give them.

Those poor families had to sell their houses to avoid being called on duty.

In the end, with regard to the reform of the Bingma Division, the more reforms, the more disadvantages have not been eliminated, but more. (end of this chapter)
