Chapter 1398: Sacrifice

The second auxiliary of the Ming Dynasty and the chief censor Jin Jingnan were now wearing casual clothes, standing outside the gate of the Eagle's Nest, looking up at the lintel of the plaque hanging on the Supervision Office with interest.

The important government offices of the Ming Dynasty were basically concentrated in the area of ​​the palace, especially after Emperor Qin Feng set up a part of the huge palace rooms as the offices of various departments and the government offices became even more concentrated.

But among these important yamen, the Supervision Office is one of the exceptions.

The Supervisory Office known to the outside world is a spy probe agency that industry insiders are more accustomed to calling Eagle's Nest. In name, he is a subordinate department of the Supervisory Office, but in fact, he is directly responsible for more affairs to the emperor. After Jin Jingnan took office as the Censor, he spent all his efforts to chatter in front of the emperor and never gave up. He just put his hand into the domestic department of the Supervisory Office. Jin Jingnan relied on the power of the domestic department to achieve effective supervision of all officials in the Ming Dynasty.

Jin Jingnan was amazed by the efficiency of the Eagle Nest Domestic Office, which also made him more determined to truly grasp the Supervision Bureau. Since it is his subordinate department, he should control this department.

Of course, his efforts were wasted.

He was already a little discouraged. Without the support of the emperor, no matter how hard he worked, it would be useless. The senior officials of the Eagle Nest were not afraid of his power as the Censor and the Censor.

But when people sit at home, blessings come from the sky. Guo Jiuling, the commander of the Eagle Nest, actually invited him to inspect the Eagle Nest.

The so-called inspection is naturally just a reason for being famous. Although I don’t know what it is, I can imagine that it must be related to extremely important things or even extremely dangerous things. Otherwise, why did the Eagle Nest come to me? You should know that for a while, because I wanted to intervene in the Eagle Nest, the relationship between the two sides was once very tense.

The Eagle Nest has a great energy, but their yamen is quite low-key. Perhaps they are the shabby ones in Yuejing City.

However, no matter how shabby it is, there are only a handful of people who can truly enter this yamen. According to Jin Nannan, so far, it seems that only the emperor and the chief minister can enter as much as they want.

I am their nominal boss, but this is the first time I can really step into this door.

No matter what medicine Guo Jiuling sold in the gourd, Jin Jingnan decided to drink it without hesitation.

"Mr. Jin." Tian Zhen, the deputy commander of the Eagle Nest, bowed to the ground with his hands folded with spring breeze, "Great Master, please come in."

"I'm working on Deputy Commander Tian." Jin Jingnan also returned the favor with a smile. To be honest, he had a good impression of Tian Zhen. Tian Zhen's responsible domestic department made great contributions in his task of supervising all officials, and Tian Zhen was completely unexplained with cooperating with his work. Compared to the old man Guo Jiuling, this person is undoubtedly better to cooperate.

"Commander Guo and Deputy Commander Tian Kang are waiting for your visit!" Tian Zhen smiled and reached out and guided Jin Jingnan to walk outside Guo Jiuling's general. Seeing that Guo Jiuling and Tian Kang were already standing outside the door, he nodded to everyone and turned around and retreated.

Jin Jingnan was slightly surprised that even Tian Zhen, who was the deputy commander, needed to avoid suspicion, which was really a big deal that he imagined.

After taking a seat, having tea, making a fuss, and having a fixed etiquette, Jin Jingnan got straight to the point.

"General Guo, the wise man doesn't say secret words, and the drums don't need to be heavy hammered. We are all very busy, so there is no need to go around the circle. Just go straight to the point and say something!" Jin Jingnan put the teacup on the table aside and said.

"Mr. Jin is indeed a well-known and refreshing person." Guo Jiuling smiled slightly and said, "Then I said it straight. There is one thing that our Eagle Nest cannot decide, so I want to ask Master Jin to help us think about it."

Jin Jingnan smiled and said, "Aren't Commander Guo afraid of leading a wolf into the house?"

"It's all your ministers. I think whether it's Lord Jin or I, Guo Jiuling, no matter what I do, I have an original intention, that is, for Your Majesty and for the Ming Dynasty. I think that even if Lord Jin has any objections to me, Guo Jiuling, I will never doubt this!" Guo Jiuling said seriously.

Jin Jingnan curled his smile and nodded, "Jin never doubted this, but I will never let go if I should stick to it."

"The starting point is good, the goals are the same, and the difference is just different methods and processes for doing something." Guo Jiuling nodded and said, "Mr. Jin, when Ning Zhiwen left Jinghu, we found out that Min Ruoying was going to kill Ning Zhiwen, and it was Yang Qing who was in charge of this action, so we used the plan and planned a counter-killing. Overall, this was a perfect plan. Of course, something happened to Ning Zhiwen later, but that was another thing."

"Yang Qing's death was a great benefit for our Ming Dynasty to subvert the rule of the Min clan of Chu!" Jin Jingnan nodded and said, "This is a very good thing. As for Ning Zhiwen's affairs, that's another matter."

"As the commander of the inner guard, Yang Qing's death caused the Chu national guard to fall into civil strife. Lord Jin and Guo also came from the inner guard. During the time of An Ruhai as the commander, I, Yang Yi, and of course Yang Qing were all considered powerful figures. Later, when I arrived in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yi did not have a good end, so Yang Qing was able to take office. However, after Yang Qing, the Chu national guards had no more ability to suppress everyone. Now, the three deputy commanders of the Chu national guards are competing for this position." Guo Jiuling said.

Jin Jingnan narrowed his eyes and stared at Guo Jiuling and said, "Are you going to interfere?"

"These three deputy commanders are Zhang Yi, Lei Wei, and Tong Qiang. The three are in equal power, regardless of the top and bottom. Now they are fighting for Mars. Min Ruoying is angry because of the deaths of Luo Liang, Luo Hu, Luo Bao and Yang Qing, and she loses her mind. Even the chief assistant Ma Xiangnan is repelled. This makes the Chu State extremely chaotic now. No one pays attention to the dispute between the three, so I think this is a good opportunity for us to intervene. Lord Jin, if the inner guard is in our hands, will it be smooth sailing for anything in the future?"

"The problem is, how do you interfere?" Jin Jingnan looked at Guo Jiuling in shock, "This is not an easy thing. Could it be that you have sent one of these three people?"

"If a person has no future plan, he will have immediate worries!" Guo Jiuling smiled and said, "It's not a question of rebellion. Among these three people, one of them was my early subordinate, but he didn't know. It was just a pawn that I had been preventing problems before he could not do so. Of course, these years have passed, and I don't know whether he still recognizes me, my old boss, but I think it's worth a try."

"Are you sure?" Jin Jingnan asked.

"I'm not sure, because he is the weakest among these three people." Guo Jiuling said.

"Since it is the weakest one, isn't the possibility of success even smaller?" Jin Jingnan frowned.

"After I left, this person had no background. It was not a little worse than the other two. However, he climbed to the position of deputy commander step by step in more than ten years. His personal ability is undoubtedly extremely strong."

"I believe this, after all, I can win the favor of you back then, and I have no shortage of ability." Jin Jingnan thought for a while, "How to instigate you?"

"I will go back to Beijing in person." Guo Jiuling said.

"Even if you go there yourself, you may not succeed!"

"I'm going to let him make a great contribution." Guo Jiuling said: "If he still recognizes me as an old boss and can be persuaded by me to become our person, then I will make him make a great contribution and become the only candidate for the unscrupulous inner guard commander."

"What kind of credit do you want to give him?" Jin Jingnan sat up straight and his face became serious.

Guo Jiuling paused and then said, "Our Ming Dynasty has half of the manpower in Shangjing City. There are a total of 373 spy detectives, some are ordinary, some are important in location, and some are extremely buried."

The room became cold in an instant, as if extreme cold had swept through it, as if even the air had condensed suddenly.

"These are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty and the most loyal people in the Ming Dynasty. Are you going to betray them?" Jin Jingnan's words seemed to pop out word by word from his throat. Tian Kang could read out a tremendous anger from his eyes.

"Yes, once they betray them, they will have one way to die, especially in the current situation of Min Ruoying's anger." Guo Jiuling said affirmatively, but his expression did not change even a little, "But I think it is worth it. Three hundred and seventy-three spy detectives were exchanged for the loyalty of the Chu domestic guard commander. I think this is a deal that can make us profitably."

Jin Jingnan stood up and walked back and forth in the house. At this moment, he seemed to have no demeanor as the third minister of the Ming Dynasty. He actually reached out and lifted the hem of his robe and tucked it around his waist. He was like a miner back and forth, gasping in the house, like a trapped beast.

"You haven't returned to your Majesty for this matter yet?" he suddenly stopped and asked.

"This matter cannot be returned to Your Majesty." Guo Jiuling shook his head and said, "This is just our own decision. Your Majesty will not know this from beginning to end. I don't know it now and I won't know it in the future."

"I understand!" Jin Jingnan looked up at the roof and took a deep breath: "No wonder you wanted to pull me in. It turns out that you think your shoulders can't bear the death of these 373 people."

"It's not that I can't bear it!" Guo Jiuling shook his head and said, "This time, I returned to the capital with a dying heart. I was not sure to convince him, so before leaving, I, the commander, will step down and Tian Kang will take over. If it succeeds, I will retire and return to the field. If it fails, there is no need to say."

"Isn't it more valuable than those 373 people when you appear in front of that man?" Jin Jingnan.

"Of course I have a way to do this. That person can't use me to threaten the Eagle's Nest." Guo Jiuling smiled slightly. "As for how to do it, Lord Jin will not ask the bottom line!"
