Chapter 55

When he arrived in Jingshi, Wanli didn't dare to show his head like this, after all, there were too many people who had seen him, but he also had his own way, sticking two mustaches, and making his eyebrows a little blacker, and everything would be solved!! Surpass! Speed! Head! Fa Zhu Yidao was a little unrecognizable when he saw it, let alone those who had seen Wanli a little.

Of course, the master of ceremonies and supervisors of the East Factory still has to take precautions. But there is no big problem, Dongchang has been suppressed too hard over the years, and the scope of activities is limited to Jingshi, but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, in a place like Jingshi, as long as Dongchang wants to know something, it is relatively simple. But the brocade guards don't think so: this is clearly robbing our business! Therefore, the general East Factory does not dare to have any conflict with Jinyiwei, and everyone rarely maintains a balance between each other.

After entering the Beijing Division, Lao Zhu obviously felt that his eyes were not enough.

The hawkers who walk the streets, the merchants who live next to each other, the jugglers who work hard...... All made Zhu Yidao deeply feel the vitality of this capital of the Ming Dynasty! While walking, those brocade guards who often operate in Beijing introduced Lao Zhu to Lao Zhu, which is the most famous green building, and even the monks often sit here; It is the most famous noodle restaurant, and the taste is not ordinary; In front of it is the largest shop in Kyoshi, where you can buy anything......

Of course, the favorite place for those gentlemen to go is the restaurant. According to the Jinyi guards, almost every day, there are some children of wealthy families who drink and have fun there, so it is easy to have accidents. However, it is generally possible to "get it done" by yourself, and the most important thing is that the merchants dare not say anything. However, there are some merchants who have a more or less shallow relationship with those powerful ministers, and these gentlemen still dare not be too presumptuous.

A brocade guard interjected and said that there were many shops in it, which were opened by relatives of the ministers of the court. But now that the world is like this, Jinyiwei is also turning a blind eye, after all, Jinyiwei also has to eat. What's more, who likes to go to Beizhen Fusi for tea if they have nothing to do?

As he was talking, there was a shouting voice in front of the road, and then more than a dozen youngsters in fresh clothes rushed by like angry horses, and ran excitedly out of the city. Ignoring roadside businesses and pedestrians. These are the children of those official families, some of them are still royal children, they must not be provoked, and if they are provoked, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck, even if they sue Jingzhao Mansion, it is useless, and Fu Yin does not dare to care. A brocade guard quietly reminded Lao Zhu, and glanced at Wanli who was dozing off next to him.

Zhu Yidao smiled dumbly, this kind of thing has always been like this in all dynasties, just be careful. The last thing that is not afraid of a place like Jingshi is to be bigger than an official! Throwing a brick and killing eleven out of ten people are more or less related to the official family. He couldn't help but think of the encounter with Qin Xiao in Xinyang County, wasn't that the same? It's just that a place like Xinyang County can be compared with Jingshi!

When they arrived at a very ordinary house, a big man looked at everyone vigilantly, until Jiang Fei took out the amulet of Jinyiwei, took it over and examined it carefully, and then waved his hand to let everyone in. Lao Zhu is a little staggered, is this too strict? Jiang Fei turned around and explained, this is not called strictness, this is called rules; Since you have set the rules, you have to follow them.

"There are no rules." Lao Zhu nodded, Jinyiwei does have its own unique place in the development of now, as a force hidden in the darkness, its responsibilities require that everything must be rigorous, even meticulous to the point of harshness.

"Driving the guards directly, patrolling and arresting" is the duty of Jinyiwei, Xiang Jiangfei and them belong to patrol and arrest; The palace guards, who were in charge of the guards, the guards of honor, and the brocade guards who accompanied the emperor on his patrols, were basically no different from the traditional Praetorian Guards, so they were generally very unremarkable.

In fact, the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose in setting up the Jinyi Guard was only to guard the honor of the book, but as he cleaned up the founding heroes who had followed him for many years step by step and paved the way for his son, he found that the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were not very easy to use, and sometimes they went against themselves. So it simply improved the function of the Jinyi Guard, making it directly responsible to the emperor.

So Zhu Yuanzhang personally founded the North and South Zhenfu Division. Beizhen Fusi is only responsible for the emperor's interrogation of the case, that is, the edict. In the first year of Chenghua, the Beisi Yinxin was added, which means that all prisons are responsible for themselves. Not only does it have its own prison, but it can also arrest, torture, and execute on its own, without having to go through the general judiciary. This feature is actually the most terrifying.

Moreover, the biggest difference between Beizhen Fusi and other institutions is that its officials and members do not need to go through the imperial examination, and are directly excavated and selected by the people. Therefore, many people who have committed serious crimes are willing to spend money to find a way to enter Jinyiwei, and its official position can even be hereditary!

Therefore, Jinyiwei in a broad sense is actually Beizhen Fusi, and its power is unimaginable. Lao Zhu listened to the story, and couldn't help but fight a cold war, wouldn't such a completely unrestrained force have a backlash against the royal family?

Jiang Fei was silent for a long time after hearing this question before he said, "How can there be no restraints?" Isn't the emperor a constraint on Beizhen Fusi? ”

"What if the Emperor loses enough understanding and control over the Beizhen Fusi? Isn't the Tang Dynasty an example? "Zhu Yidao still knows a little bit about the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty, they kill the emperor and control the royal family, it is simply outrageous.

"Impossible! Jin Yiwei and the supreme commander of the Beizhen Fusi must have my consent before they can be appointed! And that person has to pass my assessment! Since I have made him this commander, I can let him down! Wanli heard Lao Zhu's worry next to him, and said confidently.

"But Your Majesty, in this way, the people do not believe in the officials, and the officials do not believe in the emperor; It's easy to lose everyone's trust! Lao Zhu still didn't understand.

Wanli smiled: "When did the people believe in officials? When did the officials fully trust me again? In fact, this is also a means to prevent officials from doing things that really endanger the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for Jinyiwei, have you ever imagined what it would be like? ”

Lao Zhu suddenly felt a little frightened, and it was a bit perverse to ask Wanli this question. However, Wanli didn't care much, he inspected the vigilant brocade guards, and said slowly: "If it weren't for them, maybe I would have died tomorrow." ”

Jiang Feicheng knelt down in fear. The emperor can say such a thing, which is the greatest affirmation of Jinyiwei!

Zhu Yidao finally understood that Jinyiwei is actually a double-edged sword, and while hurting the enemy, he is actually hurting himself, and Da Ming wants to kill the enemy to the greatest extent while hurting himself! Wanli and the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand, but there was no better choice. To make the decision to set up Jinyiwei and improve its functions, how much courage does Zhu Yuanzhang need?!

"Let's quietly enter the palace in a while, go directly to the dormitory, and don't go anywhere else. Zhu Baihu, don't run around! Jiang Fei kindly reminded.

Lao Zhu nodded busily, according to his rank and qualifications, how could he be qualified to enter the palace?

"He's right, in Jingshi, the most unsafe place is actually the palace." Looking at the layered roofs of the palace in the distance, Wanli seemed to fall into some kind of thinking again.

Lao Zhu looked at everyone and thought about himself again, and his heart, which had already settled down, was a little excited: he was finally going to enter the palace! I've never seen what the palace looks like!

"But you don't have to worry too much, I said that as long as you can survive until you come back after quelling the rebellion, I will give you a promotion; But now it looks like you're doing a good job! Not only put down the rebellion of Bobai, but also made a great contribution to defending the city! Not bad! I will reward you well! Wanli turned his head and looked at Lao Zhu with a smile.

"You don't need to reward anything, as long as Your Majesty can let me see how Shen Hui is doing, and then be with her, the minister will be very grateful! What's more, this time it all depends on the hard work of Jiang Qianhu and all the brothers, how much effect can I play in a small hundred households that can't lift my hands and shoulders and can't resist? Lao Zhu is telling the truth, he really doesn't feel that he has any credit, and he really doesn't want to get any reward. The more rewards you get, the more you owe Wanli; The more love you owe Wanli, the harder it is to leave. Nowadays, there is nothing to owe money, and you must not owe favors, especially favors owed to the emperor!

Wanli shook his head mysteriously: "You are wrong, it should be yours, it is all yours after all; It's not yours, and it's useless for you to grab it. ”
