Chapter 1400 Smart Zhang Dejun
"Senior officer!" A young eunuch stood respectfully in front of the hall and called out, this is Zhang Dejun's personal servant.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Dejun was in a bad mood, and his tone was slightly bad.

The little eunuch felt it, and his posture became more humble, and he replied cautiously: "Chui Gong Palace is here, the official family has called you into the palace!"

"Where's the person here?" Zhang Dejun's face became calm quickly, and he asked.

"Waiting in the hall!"

"Bring tea, let him wait a moment, I'll pack up and leave immediately!" Zhang Dejun ordered.

"Yes!"

Under Wang Shouzhong's personal attention, Zhang Dejun changed into court clothes, solemnly straightened his hat, and said to his adopted son, "I'll go to the palace to see you! I'll give you two more days to deal with the matter clearly!"

"Father taught me a lesson, and my son will definitely remember it, and dare not repeat it!" Wang Shouzhong hurriedly said.

"Once again? If you do it again, you don't need to stay in Beijing!" Zhang Dejun said flatly.

A look of nervousness flashed across Wang Shouzhong's face, and he replied in a deep voice, "Yes!"

From entering the palace to face the saint, to returning to the imperial city's office, it took more than half an hour, and he didn't stay in the palace for long.However, when he went there, his complexion was serious, and when he returned to the government office, Zhang Dejun's footsteps were a little brisk, his expression was particularly relaxed, and there was a faint smile on his face.

It was still Wang Shouzhong who stayed in the yamen, respectfully welcomed his adoptive father into the hall, noticed the expression on Zhang Dejun's face, and asked curiously: "Is there any happy event for the official to summon my father?"

Hearing this, Zhang Dejun restrained himself immediately, and said leisurely: "It's not a happy event, but it's a good thing for the Imperial City Secretary!"

As he said that, he looked at Wang Shouzhong and noticed his difficult steps, Zhang Dejun said: "Please punish, you are active!"

Apparently, during Zhang Dejun's entry into the palace, he had already taken Zhang Dejun's instructions to the staff collar, and he seemed to be serious.Hearing Zhang Dejun's words, Wang Shouzhong immediately replied with shame on his face: "When my father taught me the lesson, my son's mind was shocked, he was repentant and vigilant, and even more frightened. Fortunately, no bigger omissions have been caused. Ten sticks are just a warning. To remember, dare not do it again!"

"I'm very pleased that you have such awareness!" Zhang Dejun's attitude was rarely gentler, and he said, "I have high hopes for you brothers. I took you in because I took a fancy to your talents. I hope you If you can work hard, you will shine brightly in the future.

Therefore, we must never be slack when we are on errands, especially in the subordinates of the Imperial City Division. We are all servants of the official family. The official family has a purpose, no matter how big or small, we must complete it without reservation! "

"Father has such high hopes, my son will definitely remember them!" Hearing Zhang Dejun's words, Wang Shouzhong was immediately awed.

"Let's treat the injury first!" Zhang Dejun waved his hand.

Wang Shouzhong said: "A few minor injuries are nothing serious. If father has something to do, please tell me!"

Obviously, Wang Shouzhong was still very curious about the situation of Zhang Dejun's entry into the palace. Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning was in his eyes.

As for Zhang Dejun, he glanced at him, took off his slightly cumbersome robe, sat down, and immediately ordered: "That's right, you will take my token to the archive room later, and bring me Li Chongju's records for nearly a year. I am useful! In addition, secretly send people to strengthen the monitoring of Li Chongju and his family, especially during the next period."

When Wang Shouzhong received the order, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that he looked at Zhang Dejun with a serious expression, and said, "Father, this is the envoy of Wude!"

"It's the envoy of Wude! Do you have any doubts?" Zhang Dejun was very calm.

Wang Shouzhong immediately said: "Before, you repeatedly taught Wu Desi to be careful, so as not to fall into the trap, why now?"

"Official decree! Is this reason sufficient?" Zhang Dejun said lightly.

Wang Shouzhong was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly he stopped talking, his expression even more puzzled.

Zhang Dejun took the tea from the waiter, drank a couple of sips, and then said calmly: "From now on, Li Chongju will not be an envoy of martial arts!"

After saying this, Wang Shouzhong came to his senses, let go of his expression, and said: "Congratulations, father! If Li Chongju resigns, you will go to the enemy!"

As Zhang Dejun's adopted son, Wang Shouzhong knew Zhang Dejun's knots all too well. After the past ten years, the Imperial City Division had indeed achieved great development, and it was even more powerful in Beijing, but in fact, it was always suppressed by Wu Dejun.

Within the capital, with the support of Emperor Liu, they can still resist one or two, but outside the capital, they are completely shrouded in the shadow of Wu Desi, and it is always difficult to break through.

The Wu De Division was established earlier, with a large number of people, rich money, and a wide range of influence. It has battalions, prison managers, and even has certain powers of arrest and interrogation.In comparison, Imperial City Secretary was far behind. Emperor Liu seemed to have set a bottom line for them, which was always difficult to cross.

The Imperial City Division is more like a pure surveillance agency, with a large number of spies and eyeliners, but the actual power is pitifully small, and more of its power comes from Emperor Liu.Such a situation is very depressing for Zhang Dejun who wants to overshadow Wu Desi.

The Wu De Division has a strict and orderly system, internal unity, and almost no major flaws. If you want to deal with it, you can't find a good place to start.More importantly, Li Chongju is the head of Wu Desi, and there is no need to go into details about who Li Chongju is, what kind of power and influence he has.

"You can't say that!" Seeing Wang Shouzhong's performance, Zhang Dejun stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "We are both working for the government, so there is no such thing as hostility!"

"It's a slip of the tongue!" Wang Shouzhong changed his words immediately, but he couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, but he still couldn't help asking: "But why did Li Chongju suddenly resign?"

"He is the one who entered the palace and resigned due to old age and illness!" Zhang Dejun said leisurely, "This person seems harmless to humans and animals, but he is also alert and knowledgeable about practical affairs.

With a calmer expression, Zhang Dejun said: "In the past year, I have also noticed that the officials are dissatisfied with Wu Desi, and Li Chongju is such a smart person, of course he will not be unaware.

Li Chongju has been in charge of the Wu De Department for nearly 20 years. For such a long time, how much power and influence he has cultivated in the Wu De Department, even if he is close to the official family, how much he is trusted, how can he be guessed by the official family? Can any idea?

And most importantly, Li Chongju has a very good relationship with the top and bottom in the court, and his reputation is not bad. Compared with us 'notorious' eagle dogs, he is more popular.This may not be what the officials want to see! "

"Father is wise and sees clearly!" Wang Shouzhong immediately complimented.

Zhang Dejun continued: "I have always had a premonition that Li Chongju will not be a martial arts envoy for a long time. I never thought that such a way would result!"

There seemed to be a kind of regret in the tone: "Li Chongju is worthy of admiration! A position like Wu De Envoy can be let go if you say it. If he is greedy for power and position and refuses to retire, maybe it is a pity."

"If that's the case, then Li Chongju is truly extraordinary!" Wang Shouzhong said.

"Even so, how can the officials really trust him? Are there no doubts in your heart?" The corners of Zhang Dejun's mouth twitched slightly.

"This is the origin of the official decree!" Wang Shouzhong suddenly realized, and immediately said: "If this is the case, then our company will no longer be as afraid of Li Chongju as before! Father, this may also be an opportunity for our Imperial City Secretary to continue to rise Ah, if there is something wrong with Li Chongju, it must also involve Wu Desi!"

Seeing his excitement, Zhang Dejun resolutely stopped, and said calmly: "No! Li Chongju's resignation, Wu Desi will inevitably have a lot of troubles, in the next period, there is no need to have too many hands and feet! Be cautious about Li Chongju some!"

"Why?" Wang Shouzhong was puzzled.

In Zhang Dejun's eyes, there was finally a little envy: "The friendship between the official family and Li Chongju has always been deep. Instead of honoring his official career, he is the Duke of Jinjun! Today, there are only so many princes in the big man who are still alive. This When the time comes, we can follow the orders of the officials and act rashly, if there is a mistake, we are afraid that we will burn ourselves!"

"Yes!" Regarding Zhang Dejun's decision, Wang Shouzhong still did not dare to go against it.

Zhang Dejun really knew Emperor Liu too well, so when he looked at things and made decisions, he tended to be more concerned about Emperor Liu's feelings and thoughts.

"I don't know who will succeed Li Chongju when he resigns?" Wang Shouzhong asked again.

"You mentioned before that everyone in Hexi knows Wang Yinwu!" Zhang Dejun said.

"It's him!" Wang Shouzhong was very surprised: "Can this person have this qualification?"

"This person is very lucky!" Zhang Dejun's eyes narrowed slightly, he turned his head and said to Wang Shouzhong: "Notice is due, as for this Wang Yinwu, please keep an eye on him!"

"Yes!" Wang Shouzhong replied knowingly.Previously, everyone in Hexi knew about it, maybe they didn't pay attention to it, but if they became Wude envoys, the situation would be completely different. More importantly, compared to Li Chongju, they would indeed be much less afraid.

Without waiting too long, Wang Shouzhong brought the private file set up by the Imperial City Division for Li Chongju, which also recorded some of Li Chongju's recent words and deeds.

However, Zhang Dejun was not in a hurry to report. In this case, it was not the time to show the high efficiency of the Imperial City Secretary. After waiting for two days to make up for Li Chongju's performance after resigning, Zhang Dejun went to the palace to report.

In this secret report, there are not many straightforward criticisms of Li Chongju, it seems to be just stating some trivial words and deeds of Li Chongju.But among the many situations, Emperor Liu still paid attention to one point, that is, Li Chongju seemed to deliberately delay the medicine, which made him seriously ill.
