Zhu Di asked calmly: "What do you want?"
This is the theme of today's father-son conversation.
Zhu Gaojie made military exploits in Jiaozhi, although in essence he had obtained what he wanted - military power in the southwest. But in fact, this is not Zhu Di's reward for him, so Zhu Gaojie is still qualified to ask Zhu Di for a reward that is not too excessive.
If it were anyone else, there would be no way he would have the guts to ask for a reward from the emperor. The emperor's favor would be the greatest reward, but Zhu Gaojie was never someone else. He was a person different from the rest of the world.
In his eyes, Zhu Di is now a magic lamp that can make wishes, but this magic lamp can only make one wish, and this wish cannot be too outrageous.
"Jinyiwei." Zhu Gaojie slowly said what he wanted.
Zhu Di frowned slightly: "I can't give you this, so I'll give you another one."
Jinyiwei is the eagle dog of the imperial court, and the emperor will never let go.
Zhu Di was well versed in the art of balance. He used the prince to check the king of Han and the king of Zhao. He also used the king of Han and the king of Zhao to balance the prince to prevent one party from becoming bigger. Now that the King of Han has no military power, only the prince's three guards are left, and they have begun to be suppressed by the princelings. The commander of the Jinyiwei, Ji Gang, is a party of the King of Han and can help the King of Han fight against the prince.
Giving the Jin Yiwei to Zhu Gaojie was equivalent to destroying the arm of the King of Han, and Zhu Di could not do this.
Even though he had begun to dislike King Han in his heart.
Zhu Gaojie shrugged: "Forget it, since the emperor is unwilling, I have nothing else to ask for."
Zhu Di's face darkened: "Don't use this trick, Jin Yiwei really can't give it to you."
"But..." the old man changed the topic, "The position of the Beizhen Fusi of Jinyiwei is now vacant. You can choose someone who can handle the matter and take over the Beizhen Fusi Yamen temporarily."
Jinyiwei is a huge organization, and it is not just the Zhenfu Division. At its peak, it had seventeen offices and two directly affiliated departments, namely the Experience Department and the Zhenfu Division.
The army of the Ming Dynasty implemented a guard system, which can be simply understood as soldiers from all over the country were organized into various guard posts. Generally, a post was set up in one government and guards were set up in several prefectures, and the Jinyi Guard was no exception.
One level below the guard is the director, and one level below the director is the director.
Judging from the level, Jinyiwei Zhenfusi is not as high as the seventeenth. Seventeen offices belong to the thousand-household level, and each office has ten divisions under its jurisdiction. The Zhenfu Division is between a hundred households and a thousand households, but this department is special and cannot be compared.
When Taizu Gao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang set up the Jinyi Guards, there was only one Zhenfu Division. Later, Zhu Di conquered the country and added the North Town Fusi. Jinyiwei's Town Fusi was divided into the North and South Town Fusi.
Among them, Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for military discipline and punishment, military craftsman file management, etc. within Jinyiwei, and manages his own people; while Beizhen Fusi is responsible for the supervision, arrest, and torture of hundreds of officials. Those who are unhappy are directly beheaded. Basically, they perform special tasks and manage people outside.
The infamous imperial edict is a specialty of Beizhen Fusi. Most of the people who could enter the Beisi Prison were well-known and important people before they came, but when they got there they had to be beaten into preserved eggs, entering vertically and exiting horizontally.
There are many kinds of packages in the imperial prison, such as skinning, breaking the spine, chopping fingers, stabbing the heart, piercing the brain... It is a torture gift package. The living people are interrogated into the dead, and the corpses are continued to be whipped after death. In short, Beizhen Fusi is a terrifying place that kills people without batting an eyelid, eats people without spitting out their bones, and squeezes their blood into juice for you.
As the emperor's needs increased, Beisi's tasks and status increased. Something dirty started to happen, and the emperor just wanted to let the Zhenfu Division know about it, and not even the commander of the Jinyi Guards had the right to interfere.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Zhu Gaojie was immediately overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to thank him.
He never thought of taking over Kinyiwei from the beginning. With Yuno Tsuna, the executioner, lying on top of him, it was unrealistic to just pack Kinyiwei away.
This is actually a means of business negotiation. It originated from the negotiation tactics of vegetable sellers in the vegetable market. They first demand a high price and then slowly bargain.
If Zhu Gaojiu wanted the Fusi of Beizhen from the very beginning, Zhu Di might only give him the experience department or the Qianhu Office, but Zhu Gaojiu asked for the position of Jinyiwei commander by name as soon as he came up. Zhen Fusi seems not to be too much.
"Look at your virtue." Zhu Di smiled and said, "Who are you planning to appoint as the envoy of Fusi Town in Beizhen? Is there anyone who can choose one? Do you want me to pick one for you?"
"Come on, let you pick one for me? Isn't this just a matter of putting nails around me!" Zhu Gaojie complained in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
He said sternly: "My minister has already chosen someone."
"Oh, do you have a candidate?" Zhu Di asked with interest, "Who is it?"
Zhu Gaojie said without thinking: "The commander of the vanguard camp of the Southern Expedition Army, Lu Chaoyang."
"Lu Chaoyang?" Zhu Di thought for a while and asked, "Is he the son of Lu Shouzhong, the former commander of the Guangxi Dusi Dusi?"
The hairs on Zhu Gaojie's body stood up: "Do you know Lu Chaoyang?"
This is a bit outrageous, old man.
Lu Chaoyang, a low-ranking official of the sixth rank, could remember everything clearly, and could he even explain his family background clearly?
Zhu Di smiled and said: "The Jiang family in Guangxi is a family of generals. Their old man Jiang was the former commander-in-chief of the Guangxi Dusi. Later, the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Shuzi, inherited his father's legacy and became the current commander-in-chief of the Guangxi Dusi. My son Jiang Yi holds the important position of deputy commander-in-chief in the Southern Expeditionary Army. I won’t pay attention to a small person like Lu Chaoyang, but I do remember the Lu family’s affairs. Because Lu Chaoyang offended the Jiang family, his father Lu Shouzhong was dismissed from office."
Zhu Gaojie's brain turned rapidly, and he quickly understood the meaning of Zhu Di's move.
The Jiang family, together with two generations of Guangxi Dusi Commanders, controlled the military power of Guangxi Province. What happened to the Lu family back then was a stain on the Jiang family. Some dirty tricks were used to bring down Lu Shouzhong, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi Dusi. Zhu Di knew about this, but he always pretended that he didn't know. He could use this stain at any time to destroy the Jiang family!
What the hell... the old man is so dirty!
No wonder a little person like Lu Chaoyang can still survive under the influence of the Jiang family. Zhu Di is behind the secret manipulation of the relationship!
He wants to keep Lu Chaoyang's life, and when he becomes unhappy one day and sees that the Jiang family is displeased, he will directly throw Lu Chaoyang out as a tainted witness, which will justifiably destroy the Jiang family!
Lu Chaoyang probably didn't even know that a little guy like him was lucky enough to be treated as a spy by the emperor.
I don’t know how many secrets like Lu Chaoyang the old man has in his hands...
The thieves are scary!
Zhu Di said leisurely: "The matter of Beizhen Fusi has been settled."
"I thank the emperor!" Zhu Gaojie stood up and saluted, "If nothing happens, I will leave first."
"Wait a minute!" Zhu Di suddenly stopped him.
"Is there anything else that the emperor has not yet explained?" Zhu Gaojie was a little confused.
"You are so rude to me when you just leave after taking the benefits." Zhu Di said with complicated eyes, "Before you get married to the girl from the British royal family, you and the girl should go to... the Great Baoen Temple."
After hearing "Da Baoen Temple", Zhu Gaojie fell silent.
