Forbidden city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhu Youxiao woke up from a deep sleep in the morning, and next to him was the queen Zhang Yan, who had worked hard last night, making her face look extremely ruddy. Carefully pulling out his arm, Zhu Youxiao began to wash and dress under the service of the palace maid.
While he was eating breakfast, Wei Zhongxian asked to see him.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Wei Zhongxian saluted respectfully.
"Get up." Zhu Youxiao drank millet porridge and asked casually, "Something?" "
"Wechen has some news here." Wei Zhongxian got up and replied that he did not belong to the eunuch series now, so he could call himself a minister.
"Say it." Zhu Youxiao didn't look up, he was more casual in front of these eunuchs.
Waiting for the approval, Wei Zhongxian whispered, and slowly explained in detail the situation after the recent auction of cement technology, which gave Zhu Youxiao a clearer understanding of the reaction of the people.
Several typical landlord reactions, the reactions of yeoman farmers, were listed by Wei Zhongxian. When talking about the homesteaders selling their land, saying that they were waiting for the land to be divided, Wei Zhongxian became cautious.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Youxiao asked strangely.
"Your Majesty is not angry?" Wei Zhongxian asked cautiously, in his mind, these peasants simply bullied the king, playing this kind of trick of empty gloves and white wolves. But unexpectedly, the emperor didn't care at all.
"Why be angry, it's good for farmers to get money in their hands." Zhu Youxiao said something he didn't understand.
"Is it okay for farmers to be rich?" Wei Zhongxian was puzzled, he didn't understand what was good about this, of course he didn't understand, just like the entire Ming Dynasty, few people understood why he invested 30 million taels of silver to build roads.
"You don't have to understand, just do a good job of the intelligence work of the East Factory, don't be like Jinyiwei." Zhu Youxiao said angrily.
"Wechen Province." Wei Zhongxian bowed his head and replied respectfully.
Subsequently, he continued to report back to all aspects of the country, so that Zhu Youxiao could understand clearly. Under the control of Wei Zhongxian, a rather enterprising eunuch, Dongchang is indeed thriving, and his intelligence ability and assassination ability have made great progress.
"Your Majesty, about the two ministers of the cabinet, Weichen has some information here." After finishing some tedious things, Wei Zhongxian added with some hesitation.
"Speak, I listen." Hearing that it was related to the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao suddenly became serious.
"At that time, Cui Jingrong and Huang Kezhang, two scholars, had some secret contacts with the Confucian family in Shandong, the Fuwang in Henan, and some other big landowners." After thinking about it, Wei Zhongxian slowly said what he had, although the others were not in the country, the organization that was established at the beginning was still collecting all kinds of secret information.
Hearing this expected information, Zhu Youxiao was in a trance, opened his mouth to say something, and finally fell silent.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, prepare some materials, and the Jinyi Guard will hand over to you at that time." After a long time, Zhu Youxiao spoke.
"Yes, the minister of the province, if there is nothing to do with the pen, the minister will retreat."
"Let's go down."
After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Youxiao sat alone in a chair in a daze, his eyes kept rolling, and the whole person fell into memories.
I don't know how long it took for him to come back to his senses.
"Liu Ruoyu, go to the Jinyiwei lobby." He spoke, his voice a little hoarse and low.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, the ornate four-wheeled carriage was ready, drawn by four white horses, which looked very imposing.
The horseshoe soon came to the Daming Gate Jinyi Guard.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
With the loud singing and shouting, Zhu Youxiao walked into this place that frightened countless people in a dragon robe.
This is the first time Zhu Youxiao has come here, and it is a little different from what he imagined, at this moment, the headquarters of Jinyiwei reveals a smell of depression inside and out, like old furniture, with no vitality.
"Old minister Luo Si respectfully welcomes Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Luo Sigong knelt down first, and behind him were rows of other Jinyi officials, and the shouts of mountains and tsunamis came out of their mouths.
As soon as Zhu Youxiao raised his head, he was immediately stunned, Luo Sigong's appearance at the moment was really worthy of the self-proclaimed title of Lao Chen, I saw that his hair was gray, the muscles on his face were loose, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were dense as if he could trap mosquitoes.
This look is completely different from before he set out on the expedition, and the spirit at that time was high, and all the hours were gone.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Youxiaoben came to his lips and reprimanded the words, which he couldn't say at all, and the endless words came to his lips and turned into a sigh, "Aiqing has worked hard." "
"The old minister is ashamed, he is ashamed of his heavy responsibility to His Majesty, Jinyiwei exists in name only, and he can't serve His Majesty." As he spoke, Luo Sigong burst into tears.
How can he not be sad, how can he not be in pain, many things that Jinyiwei should be aware of, there is no report, even the two pavilion elders of the Jingshi have noticed that there is a problem, not to mention the place.
"Wechen deserve to die, Wechen deserve to die." Luo Sigong kowtowed again and again, in great pain.
"Yes, you should be damned, as the commander of the dignified brocade guard, you can't even grasp the thousands of households below, let the place be corroded, what do I want you to do?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly broke out.
The stormy language poured out and smashed on Luo Sigong's body, making him embarrassed.
"The old minister deserves to die, the old minister deserves to die, please punish Your Majesty, please punish Your Majesty." Luo Sigong muttered over and over again, his expression was miserable, and he was a second-class official, crying bitterly, and it was sad to watch.
"Hand over the Great Seal of the Jinyi Guard." Zhu Youxiao said calmly, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, Luo Sigong was old, and judging from his performance during this time, he was no longer suitable to continue to be in charge of Jinyiwei.
Stopping the emperor's faint words, Luo Sigong, who was kowtowing non-stop, suddenly stiffened and paused. After being so stiff for a few seconds, he slowly knelt down and said in despair, "Old minister, obey the order." "
The bleak tone, the old movements, and the few younger brocade guards around him couldn't help crying. Soon, the seal ribbon of the brocade guard was held.
Zhu Youxiao looked around and looked at the faces below, although everyone bowed their heads and tried their best to hide it, he could still faintly see the deep longing.
The commander of the Jinyi Guard, the second grade, who doesn't want to. It's just a pity that Zhu Youxiao's heart has long been decided, and these people are destined to be disappointed.
"Xu Xianchun!" A name was spit out by Zhu Youxiao, which made the kneeling crowd sigh slightly, when the real person was proud, everyone was disappointed.
"The minister is here." Xu Xianchun's tone was a little trembling, and there was irrepressible surprise and surprise inside. How could he have imagined that this position would fall to him.
"From today onwards, you will be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, don't let me down, and put the Jinyi Guard in order." Zhu Youxiao stared at him and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely do his best to repay the king's kindness with death." Xu Xianchun got up and walked out of the crowd and knelt down side by side with Luo Sigong.
"Hmm." Zhu Youxiao bowed slightly, and then asked someone to send the big seal over.
After receiving the big seal, Xu Xianchun's whole body trembled, and his surprise was irrepressible. Behind him, there was a look of envy, jealousy and hatred on his face, which meant that he could take his place.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao noticed something unusual, in the expressions of envy or jealousy, Luo Sigong's expression was a little abnormal, he was too calm, and there was no trace of sadness on his face.
seemed to notice the emperor's gaze, his hands were blurred, and he immediately became sad But seeing what he looked like just now, Zhu Youxiao couldn't believe that it was his true emotion now.
Thinking about his son, who is only thirty years old, he is already a second-class police department scholar, Zhu Youxiao can't help but guess, "This old guy is not acting." "
Staring at that old face, Zhu Youxiao became more and more sure of his guess, after all, the contrast between Luo Sigong and before and after was too great, and after quelling the rebellion of Nan Zhili, he saw 300,000 people in an orderly manner, and it was impossible to do nothing this time.
This old guy is going to retreat bravely! Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but marvel at his political wisdom.
"You two get up." With a smile, he walked up to the two Jinyi Guard commanders, "Luo Aiqing, you must drink Xu Aiqing to do a good job of handing over the work, whether it is done well or not, you must hand over it clearly, don't delay the big thing." In the last few sentences, Zhu Youxiao also emphasized the tone.
After saying that, he didn't care about the reaction of the two of them, and walked straight away.
"Lord Luo, this?" Xu Xianchun's face was full of doubts, as an old agent, His Majesty had a deep meaning in what he said just now, how could he not hear it. Could it be that there is something else to this handover?
Luo Sigong was silent, dropped a word, turned around and walked inside, "Follow me." "
So, the two of them threw down and rushed up, and the subordinates who wanted to be happy walked inside, leaving behind a large group of Jinyi Wei officials with stiff expressions and unknown reasons.
Luo Sigong led the way in front, followed Xu Xianchun behind, and after coming to the exclusive office of the Jinyi Guard's commander, he pressed a vase, and then a bookshelf clicked and moved.
At the back, there is a mezzanine, in which there are no gold and silver treasures or anything like that, just a lot of files.
"This is the top-secret information that only the commanders of the Jinyi Guards of the past dynasties can know, including the shadows that have been buried since the founding of the country, these secrets are all over the Ming Dynasty, and even overseas, but if they are still useful, I don't know." Luo Sigong said leisurely.
Then, he picked up a dossier from it, "This is what His Majesty asked me to hand over just now, they are all lists of conspiracies for the land, there are local gentry officials, as well as Jinyi Guards, military attachés of the guards, etc., you can remove these tumors by touching the eyes of the vines." "
"Lord Luo, this ???" Xu Xianchun was stunned, why didn't he take it out and tell His Majesty that he had lost his official position because of this.
Luo Sigong looked at him puzzled, patted his shoulder, and said in a serious tone, "If you should let go, you have to let go, the old man has enough in this life, and the rest will be left to you young people." "
After speaking, he flew away, leaving only Xu Xianchun in shock and deep thought.
