A full 50 taels, this is not as simple as a little heart.Jin Ying's face was stunned at first, and then he seemed to have figured something out, laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Xu is really an outstanding person. In this way, my father-in-law knows the matter well, and it happens that there is one missing in the Ministry of Punishment." Zuo Shilang, but whether you can take the position depends on your good fortune and the emperor's mood."

2 Chapter Sixty

"Yes, yes. You have to ask Eunuch Jin for help in everything, and Youzhen will remember it in your heart." Xu Youzhen looked flattered, but her heart was already full of joy.He knew that since Jin Ying could directly point to a certain position, it meant that at least [-]% of the matter had been settled.

Being a middleman, paying 50 taels of silver to get the position of the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, this was originally planned by Yang Chendong, and it was also part of the plan.Even this move has to be done.Even if you can't get the position, you still have to say what you want.Otherwise, why should a person meddle in such nosy business? If there is no benefit at all, his original intention will be suspected by others.

On the contrary, if there is something to ask for, then his motivation will be much simpler.At least it won't make people suspect that there is something tricky between Xu Youzhen and Yang Chendong.

In short, it is a sentence that expresses what you want.Of course it's best if it succeeds, and if it fails, you can also clear the suspicion. Isn't it the best of both worlds.But now it seems that things are going in the best direction.

After the two agreed, they quickly started to operate.First, Jin Ying appeared in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then Xu Youzhen went to visit the Hu Mansion.

Just after the attack on the third wife of Zhongdan Gong, the actions of the two were quickly noticed by interested people.After all, both the Yu family and the Hu family are actually closely related to what happened. At this moment, anyone who comes into contact with them can make other explanations and guesses.

But it's just a guess. As for what happened, no one knows.I just know that when Jin Ying left the office of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Yu Shiyue did not send him off in person; on the contrary, when Xu Youzhen left the Hu Mansion, it was Hu Changning who sent him all the way out.

After Hu Changning sent Xu Youzhen out of the house, he returned to his study, where his father, Hu Yan, was already seated and waiting.

"Father." As soon as he saw Hu Wei, Hu Changning immediately showed a very respectful expression, which was respectful and filial from the bottom of his heart.

"Sit down." Seeing the eldest son return to the study, Hu Wei nodded slightly.It wasn't until his son sat on the opposite chair that he said in a quizzical tone, "Come and analyze what's going on."

"Wonderful!" Hu Changning expressed his appreciation and admiration for Yang Chendong with a word of praise.

"What's the magic method?" Hu Wei's face remained motionless, but he still admired the eldest son's political awareness in his heart. Just from this sentence, it can be seen that the son seems to have seen the essence of the matter.

"Father. Chendong took advantage of the situation and adopted a roundabout strategy, which not only punished the daring Yu Xiong, but also attacked Yu Shiyue's authority. More importantly, he also planted an important nail in the Ministry of Punishment. This will kill three birds with one stone." Isn't it wonderful for someone else to take over after the work is done?" Hu Changning said in a somewhat excited tone.

In fact, there is still the matter of his own promotion, that is to kill four birds with one stone.But Hu Changning didn't like publicity, so he deliberately said less.

Xu Youzhen is Yang Chendong's affair, not many people know about it, but Hu Wei and Hu Changning do.He even knew that the recommendation after this person's previous impeachment was actually inspired by Yang Chendong.That's how this person got promoted like a rocket.

But although he is the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, he seems to have a high position and weight, but his role is very limited.Because whether it is Wang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, or He Wenyuan, the left servant, they all have a good impression of Yang Chendong.In this department, there is no real meaning in arranging manpower, and jumping out has become an inevitable thing.This time, the act of inserting stitches is really wonderful, from the right servant of the official department to the left servant of the punishment department, it means that Yang Chendong has an important nail in the punishment department. It's difficult.

"Very well, Ning'er has grown up. I am very pleased to see this. But I don't know if you have thought about it. What does he mean by doing this? It’s enough to be a low-key person, but now some of his actions are obviously beyond the scope of a courtier, what is he going to do?” Hu Wei agrees with Hu Changning’s analysis, but after living for so long, he has seen After so many things, he still saw the essence of the matter at a glance, that is, what Yang Chendong was going to do.

What?

Hu Changning was also stunned by this question.

That's right, if it's just for prosperity and wealth, he should have everything, so why do he have to think so hard?Was it just because Yu Xiong provoked him this time that he fought back?

If this is the case, then the evidence given to Xu Youzhen can be announced to the world, so that he can relieve his anger and take revenge.But he didn't do that, but took this opportunity to let both Hu Changning and Xu Youzhen take a step forward, which was a bit intriguing.

Not to mention what Hu Wei and Hu Changning and his son said behind closed doors.Simply put, on the morning of the second day after Jin Ying and Xu Youzhen acted, a complainant came to the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.He repeatedly sued Yu Xiong, saying that he had robbed his wife and forced him to leave his hometown. At the same time, he also submitted a confession statement, which was written in detail, and the witnesses and physical evidence that should be there are Everything is available, it is an iron case fact.

Accompanied by the complainant, there were quite a few ordinary people from the capital, and there were many onlookers. The incident was full of uproar for a while, even if the Ministry of Punishment wanted to suppress it, it couldn't do it.

With the new case, the treatment of Yu Xiong, who is still domineering and good fortune in prison, will change immediately.Moved from a single room to an ordinary cell, where there are not only many prisoners, but also the smell is very bad.Facing such an environment, Yu Xiong was of course puzzled, and shouted for his own sake, "My grandfather is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, how dare you treat me like this?"

It's okay not to say this, but when he said this, the prisoners in the same room looked at him with a bit more vicious look.Some of these people were wronged, they just couldn't find a vent, Yu Xiong's shout was like giving them a chance to vent, so why would they let it go, let's start with a fat beating.

But just three days later, Yu Xiong's case was settled.What Yang Chendong didn't even think of was that when Yu Xiong was facing torture from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he actually brought up many unknown things. Among them, there were three women who died in his hands. Because of the concealment, In addition, the body was thrown into the river afterwards, and it was not known to others when it sank to the bottom of the river.Now, the soft-boned Yu Xiong sees that no one is protecting him, and he can't stand the punishment, so he speaks out all at once.

Originally, he still thought that the responsibility for the crime was not serious, and he was afraid that Yu Xiong would not be able to cure Yu Xiong to death, and Leng Feng would need to take action secretly.Fortunately, with these three lives, Xu Youzhen, the newly appointed Left Servant of the Ministry of Punishments, immediately sentenced him to death.

As soon as this incident happened, the people in the capital clapped their hands and applauded. While rejoicing that the life of a bully ended, they also lamented the stern and selfless attitude of Shangshu Yu Shiyue and Master Xu Youzhen's punishment of evil and promotion of good.

Yu Xiong died, on the execution ground.But at this time, Yang Chendong had already put this matter behind him. In his eyes, Yu Xiong was just an ant, and killing him would not be enough to arouse any sense of pride.On the contrary, once this person dies, other people must think twice if they want to hurt their own minds. They have to think about how hard their neck is, and whether they can escape death after making a move.

What happened to Yu Xiong was just a small episode, and he belonged to the kind of person who seeks his own death.Yang Chendong's current focus is on the Yang Family Academy and the building of Daming's new army.

After receiving 200 million taels of silver, Shi Heng and Jin Ying embezzled 30 taels each, and officials at all levels asked Sona to ask for it, and when they were finally used for army building, they only had 100 million taels.But even 100 million taels allowed them to form a standing army of 15 people, three firearms battalions of 5000 people, and an artillery battalion of 2000 people.

One million taels of silver can do these things, thanks to the military household system of the Ming Dynasty.The so-called one person entering the military household is a military household for generations. That is to say, once you are recognized as a military member, the boys you give birth to in the future can only be soldiers, and the girls you give birth to can only marry soldiers.It was also this measure that ensured that the number of the Ming army remained at a very high level.According to an article, during the Ming Dynasty, the number of standing soldiers in the country was always more than 100 million. Among them, the military household system played an absolutely important role.

Looking at the materials sent by the Security Bureau, Yang Chendong knew that the road to success was still full of thorns.Among other things, this huge army is not easy to deal with. They are both Han people and have the same ancestors. Can he have the heart to wipe out these people?Not to mention that he doesn't have such ability yet.

What Yang Chendong wants is to make Daming the center of the world, and the civilization of Daming to become the originator of human civilization.In the future, no matter where any Han Chinese go, they will be respected and looked up to.And this requires countless people as support, and it is absolutely impossible to allow major incidents of cannibalism to happen.

It's just that some things are not based on one's own volition.When a person hates you and wants to kill you, it can only be solved by doing some favors.

"In this way, let my cousin arrange to find a businessman to find Yang Guang. No matter what, he will take down the post of general of the artillery battalion. Don't be stingy with money. This is very important for our safety." After thinking for a while, Yang Chendong gave a secret order to Humang, whom he trusted the most.

Before a person wants to achieve great things, help others, and lead everyone to rise, he must meet one condition, that is, his own absolute safety.Looking at Daming's new army, no matter whether it is ordinary soldiers or elite firearms battalions, they cannot be placed in Yang Chendong's eyes. With the big warehouse that can be entered at any time, he is impatient, so he casually takes out some new weapons and settles them down. No one is a problem.But it's the Artillery Battalion that's annoying.

Chapter 261 Preliminary Layout

After all, Yang Chendong is a mortal body, and Yangjiazhuang is not an impregnable wall. If it is really missed by the artillery battalion, once the cannon barrel is aimed at him, what kind of serious consequences will happen, it is impossible to predict. The most upsetting thing.

Yang Guang, Yang Chendong has been in contact with this person several times, and found that this person is taciturn, but he is loyal and values ​​loyalty very much. If he can spend money to befriend this person, although it cannot be said that he will defy the superior or even the Daizong at a critical time The emperor's order, but at least a warning in advance can be done.In this way, I have more time to adapt, which is an extra layer of life protection.

Humang nodded after receiving the order, "don't worry, young master. I'll go to the Security Bureau to find a smart person and ask him to pretend to be a wealthy businessman to support Vice President Yang. It's just that young master, our people found that the chief guard in Chishang was I heard that a lot of money was spent on the large-scale activities in the capital, and our people learned from them that some people have already rushed to the seaside. It looks like they want to go back to Japan to bring some reinforcements. Do you want us? Intercept and kill them halfway, or directly inform the commander of Kaohsiung, let him solve the problem at sea?"

"No, let him go, and inform Kaohsiung, don't embarrass those who report back. If necessary, you can say some words of support realistically, but don't take any actual actions." When talking about this issue, Yang Chendong's face He returned to his calm smile.

Because of Junko, Ikegami missed the kill, and the head of the envoy, Aoki Yuki, was held accountable and imprisoned in the Ministry of Rites.Although it is said that the imperial edict has not been issued to inquire about the crime, everyone can see that it is just a different place to be detained.

Things got like this, naturally due to Yang Chendong's intervention.When he went to see the father-in-law and the old man during the Chinese New Year, he publicly stated in the Hu Mansion that he must give Aoki Yuki a serious look and let him know that Daming is not Japan, and he can do whatever he wants .

It was Yang Chendong who expressed his opinion that Aoki Yutaka was kept under guard by law enforcement officials from the Ministry of Rites.And because Yang Chendong spent a lot of money, neither the Ministry of Justice nor the Jin Yiwei intervened, so even though Chi Shang, the head of the guard, made a lot of efforts, the situation has not been alleviated, let alone resolved.

When the matter could not be resolved, Chi Shang made a muddled decision, which was to report the matter back to the country, and the country would come forward to put pressure on Daming.Perhaps it was because he had been in Japan for a long time, coupled with his national character, and his background as a samurai, it was difficult for him to look down on other countries. In short, this is his decision.

And this is exactly what Yang Chendong expected to see.This is what he wanted.As one of the non-conquest countries set by Ming Dynasty, Japan always needs an excuse to deal with them.Princess Junko is the fuse. Keeping this person by her side is destined to be tolerated by those in power in Japan. They will worry about whether Daming supports the Japanese royal family. In order to solve this doubt, Junko must die.If he wanted to kill this person, he had to come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to make troubles. At that time, it was time for Yang Chendong to expand the situation.Once things got to a certain level and under pressure, Daizong might not be able to do it if he didn't want to conquer Japan, so he would have an upright reason.

After all, this is Yang Chendong's plan.But it is also a helpless move.Japan is an island country, and the length of the coastline makes the Yang Navy unable to carry out a comprehensive blockade, so it is better not to block it, let it take the initiative to cause trouble, and then counterattack openly.

Yang Chendong's words made Humang a little confused.But out of his absolute trust in the young master, he still nodded cheerfully, "Okay, young master, I will give orders to the head of Kaohsiung in your name."

After the new year in the capital, the ice and snow began to melt not long after. After the spring breeze of the spring girl, the earth began to recover and everything was green again.

The weather became warmer and warmer, and the people in the capital also began to take off their winter clothes, replaced their bloated cotton robes and came to the streets. The constant flow of people heralded the prosperity and prosperity of Ming Dynasty.

As the mercenaries established border trade with Oirat, all kinds of novelty things appeared, which opened the eyes of the Oirats, and while enjoying life, they also put down their sharp knives and guns, which seemed to be a harmonious scene.

The border is stable, and the situation in the capital is naturally stable.The merchants are busy making money, and the farmers are busy with the new year's spring plowing, especially the appearance of hydraulic wells, which makes them see the hope of a bumper harvest.The courtiers are also busy with their own government affairs. Those who want to be promoted think of the law, and those who want to make money think of the law to make money. Even Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty is also busy training the army and state affairs. The ministers who are close to him have been promoted, and some officials with stubborn ideas are either left idle or degraded, and the power is slowly being concentrated in his hands.

For all these changes, Yang Chendong observed completely as an outsider.In addition to reading the information sent by the Security Bureau every day, most of the time is spent on teaching the students of the Yang Family Academy.

After nearly two months of the original [-] people, more than [-] people were eliminated, leaving only two-fifths.

Among the people who left, some of them couldn't keep up with their thinking. Originally, they wanted to use the names of Zhongdangong and Dongshuai to fish in troubled waters, and wanted to get a name. After that, they had the title of student of this person. It is conceivable that it should be much easier to mess up in the officialdom.

There is also the idea that this person is really doing learning.After all, a person who can write such majestic poems as Yangjiazhuang Xue must be very powerful.But only after I really learned it did I realize that people teach more mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science together.However, in the environment where Confucianism is the only one, these are nothing more than heresies, which are difficult to be recognized by orthodoxy.

Since it can't be recognized, they simply don't learn it.And the people who leave in the third part are those who have insufficient IQ or can't bear hardships.Because the Yang Family Academy requires running every day and standing in a military posture. Under this kind of semi-military management, some young people who only know how to study hard can't bear it. It's all deducted, so I have to go.
