Chapter 42
Zhu Di asked calmly, "What do you want?"

This is the topic of today's father-son conversation.

Zhu Gaoxuan made military exploits in Jiaozhi, although in essence he has already got what he wanted-the military power in the Southwest.But in fact, this is not Zhu Di's reward for him, so Zhu Gaoxuan is still qualified to ask Zhu Di for a reward that is not too excessive.

If it were someone else, who would have the guts to ask the emperor for a reward, the emperor's grace is the greatest reward, but Zhu Gaoyi has never been someone else, he is a different person from 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 can't be too outrageous.

"Jinyiwei." Zhu Gaoyi slowly said what he wanted.

Zhu Di frowned slightly: "I can't give you this one, so get another one."

Jin Yiwei is the eagle dog of the imperial court, and the emperor will not let go.

Zhu Di is well versed in the way of balance. He uses the crown prince to check and balance the King of Han and King Zhao, and he also uses the King of Han and King Zhao to balance the prince, so as to prevent one side from becoming bigger.Now the king of Han has no military power, only the prince and three guards are left, and they have begun to be suppressed by the princelings. The commander of Jin Yiwei, Ji Gang, is a member of the Hanwang party and can help the king of Han against the prince.

Giving Jin Yiwei to Zhu Gaoxuan is tantamount to abolishing the arm of the King of Han, Zhu Di couldn't do that.

Even though, he has already begun to dislike the King of Han in his heart.

Zhu Gaoyi shrugged his shoulders: "Forget it, since the emperor is not willing, there is nothing else I can ask for."

Zhu Di's face darkened: "Don't use this trick, Jin Yiwei really can't give it to you."

"However..." the old man changed the subject, "The position of Fusi of Beizhen in Jinyiwei is empty now, you can choose someone who can handle the affairs, and temporarily lead the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen."

Jinyiwei is a huge organization, not just the Zhenfu Division. In its heyday, it had seventeen institutes and two directly subordinate divisions, namely the Experience Division and the Zhenfu Division.

The Ming army implemented the guard system, which can be simply understood as soldiers from all over the country were organized into various guards. Generally, one prefecture set up a post, and several prefectures set up guards, and Jinyiwei was no exception.

The level below the guard is the so, and the level below the so is the division.

In terms of rank, Fusi of Jinyiwei Town is not as high as Seventeen.Seventeen of them belong to the level of thousand households, and each of them has ten divisions under its jurisdiction.The Zhenfu Division is between a hundred households and a thousand households, but this department is rather special and cannot be compared.

When Taizu Gao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang set up Jinyiwei, there was only one Zhen Fusi.Later, Zhu Di conquered the country and added the North Town Fusi, and Jin Yiwei's Zhenfu Division was divided into the North and South Town Fusi.

Among them, Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for military discipline and punishment within Jinyiwei, military craftsman file management, etc., and is in charge of his own people; while Beizhen Fusi is responsible for the supervision, arrest, and torture of hundreds of officials. Anyone who is unhappy is directly beheaded. Basically, they perform special tasks, and they are in charge of outsiders.

The notorious prison is a specialty of Beizhen Fusi.Most of the people who could enter Beisi Zhao Prison were big men with a reputation inside and out, but when they got inside, 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 spines, chopping fingers, stabbing hearts, piercing brains... a set of torture package, the living will be interrogated as dead, and the corpses will be flogged after death.In short, Beizhen Fusi is a terrifying place where people kill people without blinking an eye, cannibalize people without spitting out their bones, and even squeeze blood into juice for you.

As the emperor's demands increased, the tasks and status of Beisi rose.Some dirty things started to happen, the emperor just wanted to let the Zhen Fusi know, even the commander of Jin Yiwei had no right to interfere.

"Thank you, Majesty Long En!" Zhu Gaoxuan was overjoyed immediately, and quickly kowtowed his head to thank him.

From the very beginning, he never thought that he could take over Jin Yiwei. With Ji Gang, the executioner, standing on top of him, it was unrealistic to want to take Jin Yiwei away.

This is actually a means of commercial negotiation, which originated from the negotiation tactics of the vegetable market aunt, first asking for a high price, and then bargaining slowly.

If Zhu Gaoxuan came up to ask for the Beizhen Fusi, Zhu Di might only give him the experience department or the Qianhu Office, but Zhu Gaoxuan asked for the position of Jinyiwei Commander by name as soon as he came up, compared to giving him a Beizhen Zhenfusi did not seem too much.

"Look at your virtue." Zhu Di smiled, "Who do you plan to let take the position of the governor of Beizhen? Is there anyone who can choose? Do you want me to choose one for you?"

"Come on, let you pick one for me? Isn't this just putting nails around me!" Zhu Gaoxuan complained in his heart, but he didn't say it out.

He said sternly, "My minister has already chosen someone."

"Oh, do you have a candidate?" Zhu Di asked with interest, "Who is it?"

Zhu Gaoxuan said without hesitation: "The commander of the Vanguard Battalion of the Southern Expedition Army, Lu Chaoyang."

"Lu Chaoyang?" Zhu Di thought for a while and asked, "Is it the son of Lu Shouzhong, the former commander of the capital of Guangxi?"

The hairs on Zhu Gaoxuan's body stood up: "Do you know Lu Chaoyang?"

This old man is a bit outrageous.

For Lu Chaoyang, a small official of the sixth rank, he can remember it clearly, and even explain his family background?

Zhu Di smiled and said: "The Jiang family in Guangxi is a family of generals. The old man Jiang in their family was the former commander of the Guangxi capital. Later, the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Shuzi, inherited his father's business and became the current commander of the Guangxi capital. His son, Jiang Yi, holds the important position of deputy commander in the Southern Expedition Army. I will not pay attention to such a small person as Lu Chaoyang, but I do remember things about the Lu family. Because Lu Chaoyang offended the Jiang family, his father, Lu Shouzhong, was dismissed from office."

Zhu Gaoxuan's brain turned quickly, and he quickly figured out the deep meaning of Zhu Di's move.

The Jiang family has been the commander of the Guangxi capital for two generations, and has controlled the military power in the province of Guangxi. What happened to the Lu family back then was a stain on the Jiang family.Using some dirty means, Lu Shouzhong, the commander of the Guangxi capital, was pulled down.Zhu Di knew about this, but he always acted as if he didn't know about it. He could use this stain at any time to wipe out the Jiang family!

This is so... the old man is really dirty!
No wonder Lu Chaoyang, a little guy, can survive under the influence of the Jiang family. Zhu Di is secretly manipulating the feelings behind this!

He wants to save Lu Chaoyang's life, and when he is unhappy and sees that the Jiang family is not pleasing to the eye, he will directly throw Lu Chaoyang out as a tainted witness, and justifiably let the Jiang family collapse!
It is estimated that Lu Chaoyang himself did not know that he, a little man, was lucky enough to be regarded as a dark son by the emperor.

I don't know how many dark sons like Lu Chaoyang have in the hands of the old man...

Thieves are scary!
Zhu Di said leisurely: "The matter of Fusi in Beizhen is settled like this."

"I have thanked the emperor!" Zhu Gaoxuan stood up and saluted, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Wait!" Zhu Di suddenly stopped him.

"Is there anything else the emperor hasn't explained?" Zhu Gaoxuan was a little puzzled.

"Leave after taking advantage, you really are not polite to me." Zhu Di said with complicated eyes, "Before you marry the girl from the British government, go to the Great Baoen Temple with that girl..."

After hearing "Great Baoen Temple", Zhu Gaoxuan was silent.
