Back in Zhongcui Palace, Zhu Cihong was ready to make a big move on the Beijing camp in the past few days, he first asked people to transfer the files of the Beijing camp from the palace, and wanted to familiarize himself with the situation in the Beijing camp before he started.

As a result, Zhu Cihong found that a few years ago, Li Banghua, the secretary of the military department, had rectified the Beijing camp, and the situation was even worse than he expected.

The strength of the three battalions is more than 100,000 people, half of whom are old and weak, and only two or three hundred people are training every day. Some generals and eunuchs let their servants pretend to be strong men in the army and come to receive monthly salaries. All kinds of erosion, empty salary, unbelievable.

Under Li Banghua's vigorous rectification, 220,000 stone of grain was saved every year, and the atmosphere also improved.

However, because of Li Banghua's vigorous innovation, he also offended many people in Beijing, and those who lost held a grudge against Li Banghua and spread all kinds of rumors and slanders.

Li Banghua was finally excluded and framed and transferred, and it didn't take long for Jingying to become the same virtue as before.

"This Li Banghua is a capable person, it seems that he is the one who advocated the prince to go to Nanjing to supervise the country in history!" Zhu Cihong touched his chin, thoughtfully, and began to pay all attention to Li Banghua.

What Zhu Cihong didn't know was that at this time, Li Banghua had been ostracized and went back to his hometown to drink tea, he was dismissed from office before and after, and he had lived at home for 20 years, and his official road was really miserable.

"Xu Sheng, follow me to the Jingying campus to have a look."

Zhu Cihong greeted Xu Sheng and planned to leave the palace, but now that he has received the errand of the governor's capital camp, he can enter and leave the palace gate freely.

"Master, stay!" Wu Zhong trotted over in a panic, holding an edict in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Cihong said suspiciously, and took the edict from Wu Zhong's hand.

When he opened it and looked at the content of the edict, Zhu Cihong immediately became angry, what is the situation, Emperor Lao Tzu actually revoked the will of his governor Jingying! Changed to the Commander of the Yongwei Battalion.

It's only been two days, how can you say that it has changed? What about the good words of Chrysostom??

"Master, Han San secretly told me when he conveyed the edict that it was the emperor's decree that was rejected by the military department in the matter of Guang Shiheng, on the grounds that His Royal Highness is young and holds military power, which is too child's play and unreasonable." Wu Zhong whispered.

Zhu Cihong's gaze became colder and colder, and he scolded angrily: "In a seven-grade gift, even a dog in the Forbidden City is not as good as it, dare to use the right of refutation to reject the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Who else is against it?"

Wu Zhong looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with an angry face, and hurriedly said, "Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen ......"

"It turned out to be him, no wonder, he became the Duke of Chengguo and just became the governor of Jingying this year, but he was squeezed out of his position by me, I am afraid that I will smash his job and cut off his oil and water!" Zhu Cihong took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

These two white-eyed wolves are really embarrassed.

Chengguo Gong is in the lineage, since the first Chengguo Duke Zhu Nengjing was difficult to make meritorious contributions, was named Chengguo Gong, to Zhu Chunchen for 12 generations, the world received the emperor's favor, and Emperor Chongzhen also handed over the power of Jingying to him, which shows that he has a lot of trust in him.

As a result, in history, as soon as Li Zicheng entered the capital, he opened the door and surrendered, and also persuaded him to be loyal and let Li Zicheng be the emperor.

As for the military department to Zhongguang Shiheng, when Li Zicheng was about to hit the capital, Li Banghua and others persuaded Emperor Chongzhen to move south, and this grandson bit people in the court like a dog, and righteously opposed the southward move, and patted his chest and promised to live and die with the capital.

As a result, as soon as Li Zicheng came in, he immediately changed his face to welcome the new master, kneeling and licking in a 360-degree posture.

"Fortunately, His Majesty Father fought for it and gave me the Yongwei Battalion, otherwise I would be really chilled." Zhu Cihong let out a long sigh, and forgot about these foreign ministers.

Although the Yongwei battalion only has 5,000 people, it is better than nothing, and the most important thing is that Zhu Cihong can leave the palace at any time under the pretext of inspecting the military camp.

Zhu Cihong secretly said in his heart: "You have to install your own people in the outer court, otherwise it will not be easy to clean up these two thieves." Also, I have to find an opportunity to engage in the intelligence system, and I am simply blind in the palace.

If he hadn't spent ten taels of silver before, how could Han San's little eunuch secretly pass on a message to him? I don't know who got it! ”

In terms of intelligence, of course, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the best at it, but after Chongzhen took office, under the flickering of the Donglin Party, most of the functions of the factory guard were abolished, including the intelligence system.

The current Jinyiwei also carried a sedan chair for Chongzhen, and Qingqingdao was no longer the Jinyiwei who was coaxed back then.

Zhu Cihong suddenly asked Xu Sheng beside him: "Xu Sheng, how long have you been in Jinyiwei?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, after my humble father died in the battle in Shandong, it has been four years since I was awarded the title of Jinyi and Hundred Households by the emperor." Xu Sheng said respectfully.

Xu Sheng, twenty-five years old, Chongzhen five years, his father Xu Congzhi as the governor of Shandong, died in the Denglai Change, the imperial court issued an edict posthumously presented Xu Congzhi as the military department of the book, given a memorial to the burial, sealed the shade of brocade clothes hundred households, and built the "Martyrs' Shrine".

After Xu Sheng became a brocade guard for hundreds of households, he wanted to avenge his father, and later learned that the enemies Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming crossed the sea to the north and surrendered to Huang Taiji, and became traitors, so they went to Liaodong to join the border army to fight Jiannu, and the cumulative military merits rose to 1,000 households.

Later, he was transferred back to the capital, and because of his tall and mighty figure, he was compiled as a general of the Han Dynasty, guarding the court, and was selected by Zhu Cihong as a personal guard.

Zhu Cihong continued: "Then do you know some people in Jinyiwei, such as those who are engaged in intelligence?" ”

Xu Sheng thought seriously for a while before he said, "Yes!" ”

Zhu Cihong asked unhurriedly: "What is your official position and what is your character?" ”

Xu Sheng replied: "Back to His Royal Highness, his name is Li Tingbiao, he is the former Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si's pacification envoy, specifically responsible for intelligence, because he was persecuted because he did not vote for Wei Gelding, and was imprisoned in the edict, although he was rehabilitated by Cao Governor after the fall of the eunuch party, he was also released three years ago, but he has not been reinstated to his original position. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, during the Apocalypse, there were really not many people who dared to divide the boundary with Wei Zhongxian in the Jinyi Guard, this Li Tingbiao was a character.

However, after being tossed in the edict prison for so many years, who in the Jinyi Guard would dare to let him return to his original position, and he was not afraid of his revenge? There must have been a lot of people stumbling on him.

"How did you meet him?" Zhu Cihong didn't understand, Xu Sheng was Chongzhen's five-year Jinyi guard, and these two people should not be able to beat them.

Xu Sheng was a little embarrassed, and said: "When he first joined Jinyiwei, he didn't have any good errands, so he was on an errand in the Imperial Prison. ”

"Oh, you went to him recently, saying that the palace wants to see him, let's go out in micro-service, so don't let the entourage follow." Zhu Cihong decided to meet this Li Tingbiao.

"Yes!" Xu Sheng bowed and said.

According to the ancestral system, the prince needs to set up a guard of honor when he leaves the palace, and he is not only accompanied by a group of guards, but also some palace people who serve desserts, drinking water and toilets, and the battle is not small.

Zhu Cihong wants to engage in intelligence, but naturally he doesn't want to be known, and only by making a private interview with Weifu can he hide his whereabouts.
