Chapter 31 Chapter 136 Ji Gang Discussing Officials

In Jinshen Palace, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui just came out. They came to thank you, because the three princes have reached the age of 18, and they are ready to be feudal. Thank you for your kindness, and at the same time Zhu Gaosui also meant to say goodbye. Ji Gang was standing outside the hall, and when he saw the two princes coming out, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Chen Ji Gang, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Zhao!" The two princes nodded politely when they saw him. Today's Ji Gang is far from comparable to that of the past. Although he is a person who leans towards the First Prince, this matter has already been known by the Second Prince's faction, but some things about the Second Prince's faction, Ji Gang also knows, but some things will be revealed once they are revealed. Both sides are ashamed, with this level of taboo, the people on the side of the second prince did not dare to kill him, so they had to instruct Chen Ying to use their judicial and supervisory powers to secretly wrestle with each other. Avoid talking about all the bad things on the table.

On the side of the prince Zhu Gaochi, those who support the prince know that he is his own, and in the eyes of the emperor, he is his right-hand man to monitor the officials and control the government and the public, so Ji Gang can be said to be like a fish in water in the court. Prestige and power are becoming stronger day by day, besides Jin Yiwei, he also enlisted some officials in the court for his own use, just like a feudal lord, no one dares to underestimate him. Such an important person who can be seen at any time and who specializes in reporting undisclosed confidential information, even the princes have to be polite to him.When others stab you, you can instruct your own people to confront you. If Ji Gang slanders you, you won't even know it. Who wouldn't be afraid?In addition, the third prince Zhu Gaosui had just come of age, and he had the least hope in the battle for succession, and had little stake in both sides, so he was very polite when he met Ji Gang.

After the two princes left, Ji Gang walked towards the hall. Today in the Chunfeng Building, all civil and military officials helped Duke Yang Xu clean up the dust. Of course he knew it, but he didn't go. Of course he and Xia Xun had no conflict of interest, at least not yet.Right now, the two of them still have the potential to help each other. They already have a friendship and come from the same lineage. They are both prominent and influential figures in their respective fields. It is beneficial to help Fengwei.However, precisely because of this, Ji Gang didn't want to go. When he was with others, there were not many people in the court who dared to discuss seniority with him. Even if the position was higher than him, they would still be polite and respectful when they met him.But he is Xia Xun's old subordinate, no matter his prestige, status or not being as good as others now, when he sees Xia Xun, he will naturally be three points shorter.When he usually met Xie Jin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, he dared to straighten his back and speak. In front of Xia Xun, did he dare to lean up shyly and insist on sitting with the cabinet scholars and the six ministers?

If he goes to a banquet, he has to find a corner place, squeeze together with those third- and fourth-rank officials, turn around and hold a glass together, and go to Xia Xun's table, bowing his head and toasting. Are you short?Now, even in front of Xia Xun, he doesn't want to show his humility, let alone show his ugliness in front of so many officials? Therefore, Ji Gang didn't go, and met Xia Xun another day, and he found a reason to go around because of his busy work, and it was over.The fact that the secret flying dragon has been handed over from Xia Xun to others is not known to others, but he knows it very clearly. In his opinion, Xia Xun's prestige and status are extremely high, and he is also favored by the emperor, but after all, he is not there. Chaozhong Ren has a permanent job, and there will be no interaction with each other in the future, so there is no need to humiliate him in front of him.

In the palace, as soon as the two brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui went out, Zhu Di's face darkened, and he said with a cold snort: "Gao Xu is too disgraceful, he actually has resentment in his heart, and he excused his illness to see him and thank you!" The little eunuch who was in charge of passing the decree to the King of Han's mansion hurriedly bowed and said: If you go back to the emperor, His Highness the King of Han is indeed ill. Um? How could Zhu Di believe it? He gave him a cold look and said, "What good did you take from the King of Han to cover him up like this?"

The little eunuch was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to cry for injustice, kowtowed and said: Your Majesty, my servants dare not lie. The servants who passed on the emperor's oral instructions were brought to the residence of His Royal Highness the king of Han to deliver the decree. The smell of medicine in the room, His Royal Highness King of Han was covered with an extremely thick quilt, and was helped out of bed by a maidservant, kneeling to listen to the imperial edict.After hearing the decree, His Royal Highness King of Han was sweating profusely, and the servants and servants could see it with their own eyes, so they dared not lie.

The little eunuch had indeed received money from the King of Han's mansion, but he dared not fabricate it out of thin air. When he arrived at the King of Han's mansion, he did see Zhu Gaoxu lying in bed with serious illness, but he was sweating profusely after hearing the imperial decree. This is deliberate scaremongering, taking people's money and always speaking for others, as long as the lie cannot be exposed by others, it will be fine. Zhu Di was really moved when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he was still suspicious. This son has always been strong, so why did he get sick by such a coincidence?Could it be that losing the opportunity of the crown prince hit him so hard?Zhu Di himself had done a lot of pretending to be sick and crazy back then, but it was not so easy to get over it, so he immediately ordered: You go to the Tai Hospital to pass the decree, and the Tai Hospital is going to the Hanwang Mansion in person to diagnose the Hanwang!

The servant obeys the order! The little eunuch went out quickly, and as soon as he went out, Ji Gang came in, so he quickly stepped aside, waited for Ji Gang to enter the hall, and then rushed out.The other ministers want to enter the palace, they have to have the emperor's order to see them, or wait for the order to see them, but Ji Gang is not the case. He is the commander of Jinyiwei and is responsible for the most confidential security tasks. The security guards in the palace are also his. Responsibility, freedom of entry and exit. Zhu Di sat down and was about to review the memorial, when he saw Ji Gang coming in, he put down the memorial at hand again.

At the beginning of his succession to the throne, he encountered fierce opposition from Jianwen's former ministers, forcing him to adopt some cruel methods. After the old minister's plot was exposed, he inevitably became alert again.It is impossible for him to abandon all of Jianwenchen's many ministers, and there are indeed many capable ministers among them. But because of this, if they have ulterior motives, the damage to the country and the country will be even more serious.How many people like this are there in the court?Zhu Di was already very suspicious, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but this matter must never be revealed, so he asked Ji Gang to investigate secretly, especially those who had a close relationship with Xu Huizu, Geng Bingwen, and Mei Yin. The ministers, including the letters seized from the three people's houses, also sent special personnel to check word by word in order to find clues.

Over the past year or so, Ji Gang has picked out many people one after another. Most of them are indeed from their faction, at least sympathetic to Emperor Jianwen. I no longer know. Ji Gang hurriedly bowed to Zhu Di and said: "I have seen Your Majesty, and I sent Yin Shenghui to various places to investigate Jianwen's rebellion. According to the clues found in Mei Yin's mansion, I traced it all the way to Yanjing Mansion, and found a person. Many doubts match When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately waved his hand, and the maids and servants in the palace quickly retreated. Yin Shenghui came back a long time ago, and he was released. Those ordinary Jinyi school captains are still locked up in the prison. Zhao Zijin, the governor of Zhuozhou, made it clear: Master Yin, this small temple of mine cannot accommodate a great god like you. The next official will let you out, success!But these school lieutenants, you have to let them stay here first, otherwise, the subordinate officials will also have no way of explaining to Xiao Yushi!Don't worry, with three meals a day, doctors and dressings, the officials here will be all right, so why don't you just let them stay here to recuperate?

Everyone said so, how could Yin Shenghui not agree?So he shot back to Jinling alone. As soon as Ji Gang heard Yin Shenghui's cry, he flew into a rage, and a killing intent suddenly appeared in his heart.But he is a man with a deep scheming mind, anger that cannot be vented is meaningless, he kept Yin Shenghui's matter a secret, and the men locked up in the Zhuozhou prison did not try to rescue him, he was waiting for the most appropriate opportunity to be his He will only say this when his fangs are about to bite on his opponent's neck. Luo Yi? Zhu Di couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this: I value him so much, and entrusted him with the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Affairs, in charge of Yanjing's government affairs. Ji Gang was expressionless, with his hands hanging down, he said calmly: When has His Majesty ever treated Mei Yin so poorly?No one can match Xu Huizu's kindness and generosity Zhu Di gritted his teeth, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Continue to investigate, I want ironclad evidence!" The emperor is relieved, the minister has asked Yin Shenghui to continue the investigation. Zhu Di nodded, and said bitterly: I confide in them, these wolf-hearted things!Once verified to be true, I will never spare them! He said bitterly, glanced at Ji Gang again, and praised: You are doing a good job. Xie Jin and the others deliberately asked for leave this afternoon to meet Yang Xu. You are Yang Xu's old department, why didn't you go? Ji Gang said respectfully and authentically: As a minister, he should put state affairs first, and After hearing his first sentence, Zhu Di's expression froze, but he hesitated when he heard that he still had more to say, so he couldn't help squinting at him and said: But what? Ji Gangdao: Your Majesty's insightful eyes see the world, so he naturally understands that today's name is to clean up the dust for the Duke of Fu, but it is actually a celebration banquet for all the ministers to support the eldest son of the emperor to become the heir. How can I drink this glass of wine if I don't have the chance to participate in it, and I don't get paid for nothing?Furthermore He rubbed his hands, and muttered embarrassingly: Besides, because of the emperor, Chao Wenwu treated Ji Gang with courtesy, but Fu Guogong is the old boss of the minister, and Ji Gang dare not put on airs in front of him. If you want to squeeze into a corner, together with some low-level officials, let's toast, let's toast, and let's sit down, relying on the power of the emperor, the minister is still a little majestic, but this time it is really majestic and embarrassing. Zhu Di laughed out loud when he heard this, and he was also asking for credit for an official, but he was as outspoken as Ji Gang, and he didn't hide anything in front of him. It was comfortable to listen to, Zhu Di thought for a while, and said with emotion: "Since I ascended the throne, , You have worked hard for me and made many meritorious deeds, but you have never received any awards.But, you can't be conferred without military exploits, and the commander can only be at the third rank, this position can't be separated from you Zhu Di took two steps, raised his brows, and said, "Well, I have specially decreed that you will be promoted to the second rank, so that you don't even feel embarrassed to go to drink, hahaha
