Zhang Mingwei's suggestions on the military continued until dark before a rough constitution was established.
During their discussions in Wuying Hall, the entire capital had already caused a sensation.
Thinking about it, whether it is to search for the Duke's Mansion, the Yongwei Camp to take over the Beijing Camp, or the current emperor dismisses so many senior officials in the court, in the past, any of them was not a sensational event, let alone so many things were concentrated in one day.
As a result, Zhou Kui's whole family was killed by Zhu Chunchen, and even Zhou Kui himself was almost hanged, not many people discussed it. At most, when talking about the case of Jiulian Bodhisattva, he just said something casually.
Zhang Mingwei also expected this. When he went back, he called Lan Tianbao to check the summary of public opinion from all over the capital that day that he collected.
The capital was very surprised that the truth of the case of Jiulian Bodhisattva was revealed.
No one expected that this Jiulian Bodhisattva was actually fake, and behind it was just a trick of Duke Cheng's king to threaten the emperor for his own selfishness.
Most of them were relieved about this, saying that they had long expected that Zhang Qingtian was a good official. If there was a Bodhisattva, how could they think that Zhang Qingtian was a traitor in the country?
Among them, some people who originally did not believe in the rumors of Jiulian Bodhisattva; some people who believed in doubt or believed in the words of gods, and then became the kind of people who were hindsight.
Another focus of public opinion is that Emperor Chongzhen dismissed so many officials in one go, which was almost something that the Ming Dynasty had never seen before.
In terms of discussion on this matter, the capital was mainly focused on Emperor Chongzhen's protection of Zhang Mingwei. They all understood one thing: in this Chongzhen Dynasty, no one could shake Zhang Mingwei's position in the emperor's heart.
Otherwise, so many people would not accept the impeachment at most, and they would not have to dismissed so many officials. You should know that most of these officials were censors, as well as the main officials of various yamen, especially in the Ministry of Personnel. Even high-ranking officials such as the Minister of Personnel were beaten for this and could not escape the consequences of being dismissed from office.
After reading these public opinion focus, Zhang Mingwei put down the information, pondered for a moment, then looked up and said to Lan Tianbao, who was standing in front of him with his hands down, "In such a short time, I am quite satisfied with the information you collected and the processing of the information you collected is divided into categories."
"The villain just followed the master's instructions!" Lan Tianbao heard this and did not dare to take credit, so he quickly replied.
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he suddenly smiled.
After all, Lan Tianbao has studied and has rules for doing things, which is definitely easier to use than ordinary people. After all, even if it is something he ordered, if you want to do it well, you must be able to do it well.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei suddenly became serious and looked at Lan Tianbao and said, "I probably know your talents. I want you to take charge of the Northern Fufu Department and supervise all officials on weekdays. However, for now, you have no credit for taking action. If I appoint you directly, it would be unreasonable..."
Lan Tianbao heard it very surprised. You should know that the most important thing in the Jinyiwei Yamen is actually the Beizhen Fushi.
The Northern Punishment envoy, who was in charge, was considered the second largest figure in the Jinyiwei, rather than the commanding magistrates. Sometimes, they could even directly meet the emperor and report to the supervisors.
No matter how much Lan Tianbao thinks of such an important position, he never thought about it. Feeling Zhang Mingwei's importance to him, he immediately said excitedly: "The whole villain is grateful to the master for his life. He is satisfied that he can do his job for him. The villain does not need any official position, but as long as the master gives instructions, the villain will do his best!"
Zhang Mingwei laughed and did not say much to him in this regard. He just explained: "At present, the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty, besides Jianlu outside the pass, are the two largest thieves in the pass, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong..."
When Lan Tianbao heard about the incident, he immediately listened with all his attention.
"... Among them, Li Zicheng's troops will attack and open the lockdown again in May. This is the third time and will likely be defeated." Zhang Mingwei said with a serious expression when he said this, "The battle of Kaifeng is very important to the Ming Dynasty. I want you to surrender to Li Zicheng. With your talent and knowledge of scholars, you will definitely be valued on their side. You can lurk and wait until the decisive battle with Li Zicheng's troops in the future, and then play your role and help the court successfully quell the rebellion?"
Speaking of this, without waiting for Lan Tianbao to answer, he added first: "Of course, this matter is very dangerous. I don't want to force you to think clearly before answering me. If you succeed, with such credit, I can justify you to take charge of the Northern Town Fushi Department!"
Originally, Zhang Mingwei thought that after he emphasized this, Lan Tianbao would consider it before answering. Unexpectedly, Lan Tianbao replied immediately after almost after he finished speaking: "The villain must do his best to do what the master ordered and leave tomorrow?"
The reason why Zhang Mingwei proposed it was of course because he hoped that the other party could agree. When he saw Lan Tianbao agree without hesitation, he was of course satisfied, so he nodded and said, "Prepare it and accompany your parents, let's go the day after tomorrow!"
For later generations, countless history has proved the importance of intelligence wars. Zhang Mingwei likes history, so of course he knows this.
After traveling through time, when dealing with the matters in Fangshan, the intelligence-first way of doing things also benefited him. Naturally, since he knew what to expect next, he certainly had to prepare for the future and make some arrangements in advance.
Moreover, in his opinion, Lan Tianbao is also a suitable candidate. After reading books, being persecuted by the government, and fleeing to the capital, the family almost starved to death. It is natural, and there is no need to lie, and there is a possibility of winning the trust of the thieves.
The most important thing is that the lack of scholars among the thieves is scholars, especially those with competent scholars. If Li Zicheng met him, Zhang Mingwei believed that even a person like Song Xiance could become an important counselor and civil servant around Li Zicheng, and Lan Tianbao would not be much worse!
He is still confident in this regard through this period of investigation of Lantianbao.
Now that this matter has been confirmed, Zhang Mingwei communicated with Lan Tianbao based on his knowledge of lurking behind the enemy, and he talked for nearly an hour before it was over.
During their chat, Zhu Mai came back from the palace and listened quietly by the side. After their chat ended and Lan Tianbao left, she said to Zhang Mingwei in a little surprised: "Sir, this is OK?"
Obviously, due to his age and experience, Zhu Mei is naturally not as good as those of later generations. There are so many movies, TV series, and lurking enemy special dramas. There are still shortcomings in understanding this kind of work behind enemy lines.
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei nodded and did not continue the topic, but asked about Empress Zhou with concern.
When Zhu Mai heard this, she said a little gratefully: "My mother is very sad, but I can also feel that the mother's heart knot has been untied a lot."
Zhang Mingwei can only laugh at Zhou Kui’s experience, just like that. It’s a waste of saliva when talking too much.
So, with the help of Zhu Mai, he began to deal with the results of the daytime search for the Duke's Mansion, as well as those of Zhu Chunchen's party members, etc.
……………………
It was dark, but today's matter was too big. Although it seemed that it was just dealing with those people, in fact, more people were involved.
Look, in a deep courtyard, there was a man who was frowning and walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, which was obviously very troubled.
When an old servant next to him saw this, he spoke and suggested, "Master, why don't you get the money you sent back?"
After hearing this, the man turned his head to look at him, and said a little annoyed: "Do you think I care about the 80,000 taels of silver?"
When the old servant heard this, he was a little surprised. Eighty thousand taels of silver, plus antique calligraphy and paintings, the value of at least 100,000 yuan, the master said he didn't care?
Seeing him like this, the man came to his senses and added: "It's not that he doesn't care about the money. Compared with that money, what's more important is my son's future!"
"No way?" The old servant was surprised when he heard this and immediately said, "Young Master is General Ningyuan. Could it be that the court can do anything else? Didn't the emperor always value it?"
That's right, this is the Wu Mansion, and this master is Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang.
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiang asked back angrily: "How much do you value it? Does it matter more than that Duke Xingguo? My son and Jianlu fought to the death. Do you think there is a title? They will still be Duke in one breath!"
Hearing this, the old servant was silent and muttered in a low voice: "That's definitely incomparable!"
After muttering, he found Wu Xiang staring at him and immediately felt embarrassed. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Master, the young master will definitely not be in trouble. Although Chen Xinjia has been dismissed from office and no one has spoken for the young master. However, this time, it is not only the young master, but the six generals! The court must have scruples and dare not do anything randomly, right?"
When Wu Xiang heard this, he suddenly sighed: "If it were the past, I would definitely be sure. But look, since the Duke Xingguo suddenly appeared, wasn't that unexpected? Is there anything he dared not do anything random?"
As he spoke, he even counted his fingers.
"Look, I don't care about how many powerful people in the capital have taken the opportunity to buy slaves. With a notice, everyone asked to return the untouchables! Who else would do this except him?"
"Also, Wang Dehua, Wang Zhixin and others, who are not high-ranking and powerful, but he just opened his mouth and killed them all. When did he ever feel lenient? Luo Yangxing and Zhu Chunchen were also. A month ago, I told you that these people would die because of the appearance of one person. Do you believe it?"
