Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 433
Jinling is both Nanjing, and Nanjing is still a collective name at this time, that is, later Jiangsu.

As the accompanying capital of the Ming Dynasty, there is also a small imperial court here, but it cannot compare with the officials in the capital in terms of power or prestige.

But the person who can achieve the position of governor of Jinling is not an ordinary person. His power is greater than any minister in the small court. Also keep your eyebrows down and be honest.

If Ye Xun hadn't suddenly taken away the main hall of the Salt Gang and the prefect of Yangzhou, it would have been impossible for the governor to come to see Ye Xun.

There are too many eunuchs in the Nanjing Palace, and many of them were dispatched from the capital. What kind of person Governor Yao has not seen?
Although Eunuch Ye's name is not small, in Governor Yao's mind, he is also an inconspicuous creature, not to mention that he has the relationship with his old friend Han Kuang.

It's just that he can't come if he doesn't come now. Someone from the Yangzhou government office has already reported to him that Ye Xun has already obtained a lot of evidence of Jiangnan officials colluding with the salt gang, and even the arrested prefect Ju has recruited him.

In this way, how can Governor Yao sit still?Taking the initiative to ask to see Ye Xun is also a gesture, it depends on how Ye Xun accepts the move.

Governor Yao's arrival was so coincidental that even Ye Xun thought that the change in Huai'an was a way for Jiangnan officials to divert his attention.

Ye Xun didn't put on airs, and it wasn't the time to take him down yet, so Shen Changshan went to the back to rest first, and then came out to meet him.

"Governor Yao is too polite. I should be the one who visited you. Why did you come in person? Haha, please come inside."

Before reaching the door, Ye Xun clasped his fists and said with a smile.

Yao Yizhi's nose was almost out of breath, and he thought to himself that it's about time, why don't I come?It was widely rumored that this little eunuch had a thick skin, seeing him today, he really lived up to his reputation.

With a forced smile, he clasped his fists in return, and said: "Eunuch Ye is laughing at this. Your father-in-law is so powerful in Liaodong, and he exalts my Ming Dynasty's prestige outside the region. I should pay a visit to you."

"Hehe! It just so happens that I have something important to ask Governor Yao. This is not a place to talk, please come inside!"

"Please!"

While talking, the two humble guys walked in with mutual humility.

Under normal circumstances, Yao Yizhi, the governor of Jinling, could not have been unaware of such a major incident in Huai'an, but he didn't know how the news was sent to Ye Xun first.

The only explanation is that the person who reported the letter did not know that Yao Yizhi had arrived in Yangzhou, so he missed it, but this explanation is inevitably a bit far-fetched.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Ye Xun asked directly, "Is General Tong, Commander of Jinling, busy?"

Yao Yizhi was taken aback by Ye Xun's question, and thought to himself that you should ask him this!Why did you ask me?
Rolling his eyes, he replied casually: "I heard that General Tong and Xu Guogong are related by marriage, maybe they are busy with other things!"

Xu Guogong is the descendant of Xu Da, the hereditary Duke, and was ordered to stay in Jinling forever. Speaking of the background, Zhang Weixian is not as good as him.

What Yao Yizhi said was nothing more than telling Ye Xun that Commander Tong is from the Xu family and you can't afford to provoke him.

Ye Xun really didn't mean to offend the Xu family, he smiled and said, "Does Governor Yao know about the civil uprising in Huai'an?"

Just as Ye Xun thought, Yao Yizhi rushed over in a hurry, and indeed missed the reporter.

Hearing Ye Xun's words, he couldn't help standing up abruptly, and asked anxiously, "Is this true?"

Ye Xun looked Yao Yizhi up and down a few times, obviously wanting to see if this guy was lying, but judging by his appearance, it seemed that he really hadn't received any news.

"I have just received news that Huai'an is not far away. Governor Yao can issue orders here to arrange counter-insurgency matters."

Yao Yizhi frowned, and said: "Although rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire, the government of Yangzhou has already been taken over by Eunuch Ye, and Eunuch Ye is on a southern tour on behalf of His Majesty, so it is better for Eunuch to direct the suppression of the rebellion on the spot!"

With a good hand of Tai Chi, he picked himself out with a single sentence.

Ye Xun smiled lightly, picked up a written memorial from the table, and said: "This is a memorial that I just wrote and haven't had time to send out. Governor Yao might as well take a look first."

Yao Yi subconsciously took the memorial in his hand, opened it and looked at it twice, sweat dripped from his forehead.

I really came here for whatever I was afraid of. The memorial stated in detail the crimes of Jiangnan officials headed by Yao Yizhi, who committed corruption, perverted the law, deceived their superiors, and embezzled their own pockets.

It is conceivable that once this memorial appears in the court, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the court, not to mention that Yao Yizhi's governor's position will not be guaranteed, and it is hard to say whether he can keep his head.

"This, this. Eunuch Ye, there are many inaccuracies in this, please check it carefully."

Yao Yizhi said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Ye Xun looked at him quietly, and said after a while: "I have already ordered Commander Lu to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, but his strength may not be enough, please Governor Yao immediately order all the guards in Nanjing to send troops to cooperate with Commander Lu to fight against the rebellion. Things have started, what we need to do now is to control the rebellion to a minimum, Governor Yao can understand what I mean!"

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I'll arrange it right away."

It is not a problem to mobilize the troops of Nanjing's various guards if the imperial envoy Ye Xun is still here.

Seeing that Ye Xun just nodded, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, Yao Yizhi asked carefully again: "Eunuch, this memorial?"

"Jiangnan is a place where the imperial court pays a lot of taxes. What I want is stability. If Master Yao does a good job, I can naturally pretend that nothing happened. It depends on how Master Yao does it."

"Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan understands, if there is nothing wrong, Xiaguan will resign first"

Ye Xun nodded, but this time he didn't even lift his butt, just quietly watching Yao Yizhi flee in despair.

For these corrupt officials, Ye Xun never knew what trust was. As he said, Jiangnan should not be chaotic, and the guy who caught Ju Zhifu was too arrogant. Now is the time for people like Yao Yizhi to take reassurance.

After sending Yao Yi away, Ye Xun summoned a guard.

"Immediately send someone to notify Xiang Biao and ask him to investigate the civil uprising in Huai'an."

The timing of this incident was so coincidental that Ye Xun always felt that there was something wrong with it.

After the guards retreated, Ye Xun invited Shen Changshan out again.

"Brother Shen, please help me with the food matter, and I also want to meet the local salt masters."

The richest people in Yangzhou are salt merchants. Although the Shen family has dabbled in business, the main business of the Shen family is overseas trade, and Ye Xun still needs many places for the Shen family in the future, so this time he does not intend to let his family bleed.

Shen Changshan understood what Ye Xun wanted to do as soon as he heard it, nodded and said: "Eunuch, don't worry, I will make arrangements here, but Eunuch wants to go to Huai'an in person?"

Ye Xun shook his head and said, "Let's have a look first before we talk about it!"

There is not much information coming back now. If it is just a civil uprising in Huai'an, Ye Xun naturally does not need to go out in person. Besides, there are still many things waiting for him here! .
