Chapter two hundred and forty-four: owe beating
Hao Fenglou read a few brief memorials.
The news inside was very ordinary, one was about Zhu Neng complaining about his illness, but Hao Fenglou felt something was strange inside. The war in Annan was actually basically over. The defeat of Annan's army is nothing more than a problem of recovering prefectures and counties. The Annan people had almost no effective resistance.
The most difficult period has passed, but Zhu Neng fell ill at this time, and in the memorial, he begged the deputy general Zhang Fu to replace the head coach. Obviously, this is quite suspicious of letting Zhang Fu pick this peach.
Seeing this, Hao Fenglou couldn't help but sigh that it was true that there was a good father in this world. With a good father, people would automatically send me credit. When they were working hard, they would put you in a safe position, but when they were talking about merit, they would push you out.
After all, for Zhu Neng, he has made too many contributions. It doesn’t matter whether he has made contributions to Annan or not. But for Zhang Fu, having this qualification, the meaning is completely different.
Zhu Di knew what was coming here, but he didn't want to point it out, so Hao Fenglou naturally wouldn't foolishly point out it out.
However, the following memorial was innovating. It was nothing more than that the army had taken over the Eastern Capital Shenglong. However, in another memorial, it was written by the Guangxi inspector. The imperial envoy set out with the army and submitted a memorial, which said that after Zhang Fu, the deputy general of the expedition, took down Shenglong, he led his troops to plunder, and then plundered women's jade and silk, accounting for grain storage, and separating officials to handle affairs, recruiting refugees. In order to live for a long time, he often castrated boys, collected copper coins from all over the place, and sent them to Jinling."
Hao Fenglou couldn't help frowning and said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, Annan wants long-term stability. I am afraid that the heavenly soldiers will do this."
Zhu Di said: "Are you talking about the memorial of Zhang Xiang, the inspector of Guangxi?"
Hao Fenglou nodded.
Zhu Di sighed and said, "Of course I know, but the soldiers have been patient for a long time, and sometimes they are helpless."
Hao Fenglou didn't say anything, and he understood it in his heart. In a sense, Zhu Di supported him behind his back. After all, this time he mobilized many troops and spent countless money. It was really unreasonable not to get back some spoils.
However, in Hao Fenglou's opinion, there are many ways to make money. Direct plundering is obviously the lowest level. Instead of plundering, it is better to flow smoothly. The Ming army can move south smoothly, in a sense, in the name of expelling tyranny. Since it claims to be a benevolent and righteous army. In addition, many people in Annan are dissatisfied with the Hu family, so the Ming army is almost progressing rapidly under the internal and external cooperation. However, the current looting of troops is equivalent to completely destroying its reputation.
However, Hao Fenglou was not inconvenient to say anything about this matter, but just smiled and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, I will protect Prince Chen back to Annan properly. I just don't know when I will leave?"
Zhu Di comforted the case and said lightly: "Next month, when King Zhao comes back, he will go to Lingnan. Let him go to Annan too this time. This is what he asked himself, saying that he wants to see the knowledge. Since he wants to see it, that's fine. Then let him go with you. You can take care of you together."
Hao Fenglou responded, but he had some expectations for King Zhao.
In fact, compared to the heartless person like King Zhao, Hao Fenglou felt it was easier to get along with. This guy hasn't seen him for a long time, and he doesn't know how he has changed his temperament.
Hao Fenglou came out of the palace and did not mention the Jinyiwei. Ji Gang hoped that he would get benefits for the Jinyiwei in front of Zhu Di, but Hao Fenglou didn't want to mention it at all.
The next morning, an appointment came and officially appointed Hao Fenglou as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei. When the appointment was issued, many people came to congratulate him.
Immediately afterwards, Zeng Jian directly appointed Qianhu, Neidongcheng Qianhu. Originally, his appointment was deputy Qianhu. This time, Ji Gang seemed to have the intention of winning over Hao Fenglou, and directly broke the rules.
So many people came to congratulate, especially the colleagues in Weizhong, who were lively in the Hao family.
However, after Hao Fenglou was appointed, he was not in a hurry to take office. He seemed to be not very concerned about Wei Zhong's affairs. Then Zhou Sili and Zeng Jian came to visit. Hao Fenglou met them in the small hall and the three of them sat down.
Zhou Sili glanced at Hao Fenglou and first congratulated him: "Congratulations, sir, you are already a person of great importance in the Wei Dynasty at a young age, and your future is limitless." His words were both polite and a little emotional.
The commander of Qianhuhe Du is indeed an insurmountable gap. It takes only ten or eight years for ordinary people to pass through. Even if someone works hard behind the scenes, it is impossible. However, Lord Hao only spent a year. Not to mention the speed of this kind of speed, it is at least rare.
Hao Fenglou smiled slightly and said, "This is strange. You all congratulate me on me, but you don't go to congratulate us Zeng Qianhu. What is the reason? Compared to Zeng Qianhu, this is shameful. People directly crossed from hundreds of households to the deputy thousand households. It took only a few minutes to become thousands of households. In contrast, this official is still a little worse than our Zeng Qianhu."
This sentence means to teasing. Zeng Jian quickly smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, don't make fun of me. Humiliation can't raise his head. I'm really ashamed to come and make fun of me again."
Hao Fenglou smiled, took a sip of tea before saying, "Okay, I have to let you go. Recently, I have some private matters, and I have not been interested in the affairs of the Weizhong. People say that the new official takes office for three reasons, but I am really sorry to the court. What, is there any news?"
Zhou Sili knew in his heart that although Hao Fenglou had seen the dragon head but not the tail in the past few days, it was definitely not because of some private matter. He must have smelled something unusual and hid in the Xiaoyao Gong. Thinking of the many big moves in the guards recently, Zhou Sili could naturally see some clues. He did not dare to be negligent and said truthfully: "There are indeed many things in the guards recently. Commander Ji arrested the rioters everywhere, and it was very involved. A few days ago, he was just some students, but now even some officials have been involved. Now not only the people in the court are panic, but in fact, they are panic in the guards."
Hao Fenglou said carelessly: "Why is this?"
Zhou Sili said: "Think about it, this guard is not a solid piece. Some people cannot help but have some connections with outsiders, and some thousands of households even have close relationships with some imperial officials. Who can guarantee that no one has any connection with outsiders? Many people are actually afraid that the fire will eventually burn on their heads."
Hao Fenglou smiled, and he couldn't help but think that Ji Gang was afraid that this was the effect. On the one hand, he took advantage of His Majesty's murderous intent to shock the court first, but on the other hand, he suppressed some internal dissatisfaction. Only when people are afraid, afraid, and have capital to make people panic can the power of the commander be stable.
However, Hao Fenglou has now withdrawn. In his opinion, he has become a passerby and will set off for Annan in a short time. No matter what Ji Gang does, it has nothing to do with him. He does not agree with Ji Gang, nor is he willing to fan the flames for him. When a person reveals his ugly side, his hideous face will always be engraved in Hao Fenglou's heart, and Hao Fenglou will always remember it.
At this time, Zhou Sili continued, "There is one more thing. Some adults in the guard seem to be a little dissatisfied with the adults?"
Hao Fenglou said lightly: "Where do you start with this?"
Zhou Sili smiled bitterly and said, "It's not the matter of Zeng Qianhu. Think about it, everyone was happy when he was promoted to the rank of the assistant. Some people were from the heart, while others were eager to ask for it. After all, the Dongcheng Qianhu Institute is a top-notch fat and many people want to get involved. Now that the adults are ranked at the center of the Jinyiwei, the position is empty, many people want to put their confidants in it, but the final result is that Zeng Qianhu is cheap. Will these people feel comfortable? All the good things in the world are occupied by adults. They are hard to say on the surface, and they are naturally unhappy in their hearts."
Hao Fenglou said coldly: "What do they think, they will naturally let them."
Zhou Sili said: "This is natural, but they dare not complain about the adults, but they may not be able to make any trouble to Zeng Qianhu. Therefore, these days, students have been warning Zeng Qianhu to be on thin ice and not to reveal their flaws and pull the adults back."
Zeng Jian hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir, you won't be embarrassed."
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "You should use your life."
As he was talking, Hao Wu came in with a look of earth and said in a daze: "Young Master, Young Master, it's not good. Someone led his troops to surround our family. Forty or fifty people came. One of them was so majestic, but it was said that the young master stole his chicken and wanted to settle the score with the young master..."
Hao Fenglou was furious when he heard this.
It's outrageous. It's fine if you say you steal a dog. After all, I like to eat dog meat, but what I dislike the most is eating chicken. It's outrageous that people are wrongly accused of being so irrelevant, which is simply outrageous.
Besides, he was also a commander-in-chief, holding a team of muskets. Although he was not a top-level powerful minister, in the eyes of others, he was at least a slander. It would be fine if a traitor would not go out to act as a mighty person. There was still someone who dared to come to the door.
Before Hao Fenglou was furious, Zeng Jian stood up with a scream and sneered: "Who dares to be so bold? Please don't take it too seriously, go out to deal with it in a humble way."
Hao Fenglou said, "Let's go, I will meet him in person."
The group arrived at the middle gate. There were indeed many officers and soldiers outside the middle gate, one by one, with a fierce back and a bear-bearing waist, and a murderous intent.
