Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

This proverb describes Zhu Pingjin's current situation, which is just right.

Zhu Pingjin habitually sat at his desk, drank tea and ate breakfast, thoughtfully: since a common saying can be passed down for thousands of years, there is always a reason for him. Maybe that's fate.

The sudden outbreak of the plague disrupted Zhu Pingjin's recent methodical work plan, making him suddenly scramble; Some trivial things that happened inexplicably exposed some of the original deep-seated problems in the Shu Palace, which caught him off guard and had to adjust the plan again and advance the corresponding work arrangements.

In the morning he woke up before dawn, not spontaneously, but by the panicked shouts of the eunuchs. The eunuchs took the risk of being scolded and punished to wake up the sleeping prince because Yu Ruzhen, the acting commander of the left guard of the palace, made an urgent report:

The guards of the Tiren Gate at the East Gate of the Shu King's Mansion didn't know what was going on, and suddenly all of them disappeared!

When it disappeared, Yu Ruzhen, the conductor, does not know. When he made a routine inspection in the morning, he found that the gate of Tiren Gate was closed, but there was no sergeant on duty.

Rao is Zhu Pingjian's temper is good, and when he hears such strange things, he can't help but get angry. On the one hand, he ordered Yu Ruzhen to immediately check the dereliction of duty of the officers and soldiers, and on the other hand, he ordered Wei Chen to quickly send troops to take over the defense of the Tiren Gate, and notified Cao Sanbao to tell all kinds of people in the mansion to check whether there were any social personnel who had mixed in. If found, immediately arrest and send it to the trial division!

As soon as Zhu Pingjin's will was made, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became very tense, and it almost caused a tragedy.

Just after the hour, a little eunuch hurriedly ran to report to Cao Sanbao, saying that there was a strange biao-shaped man near Guangzhi Gate, the back door of the palace, who was trying to sneak into the imperial garden. Considering the strength of the Han Dynasty and the insignificant distance between the Imperial Garden and the Changchun Palace where the princess lived, Cao Sanbao immediately sent someone to ask the guard platoon for help. Deputy platoon commander Li Mingshi didn't think about it, and immediately ordered three soldiers with better skills to go and capture them. Last night, the more than 30 dolls who were crowded together with the guards on the bunk, heard that there was a good show to watch, and they also clamored to follow. Li Mingshi couldn't take this group of noisy middle two students, so he had to nod. Facts have proved that this decision is extremely wise, saving not only Zhu Pingjian, but also Li Mingshi himself. When Li Mingshi was about to lead the team to attack the big man, the dolls jumped out in time to stop in front of him, and bowed to the big man obediently:

Uncle Luo got up early! Where is Uncle Rowe going for a walk?

The fierce Doctor Luo was forcibly taken out of the plague blockade area by his daughter, who was even tougher than him, last night, and lived in the palace, where he was temporarily placed in a small courtyard near Guangzhimen. Leaving the Furen Hall, which was filled with the smell of medicine, and there were no patients waiting in line to see, Doctor Luo suddenly felt uncomfortable. Early in the morning, he walked out of the small courtyard and saw the willows on the wall of the garden next door, and the birds and flowers on the branches, so he temporarily decided to go in for a walk. But he walked along the fence for a long time, but he couldn't find an open courtyard gate. Seeing his son's classmates, Doctor Luo was of course overjoyed, and immediately ordered two pleasing ones. Of course I don't feel happy that I was ignored by adults. Those who clicked were dumbfounded on the spot, where did they know the way?

Fortunately, Li Mingshi followed Miss Luo and saw the true face of these troublemakers, and was full of vigilance against them, so he came out to relieve the siege at this time: the dolls are going to start military training after breakfast today, and the location is in the small arena in the northeast corner of the palace. Uncle Luo wants to visit the Imperial Garden, and it is best to be led by the eunuch in the palace. They knew each other well, and they still had keys to the palace gates hanging around their waists. Therefore, the eunuch who was the first to discover the stranger immediately changed his role and became the guide of Doctor Luo's wandering around.

Where did Dr. Luo end up? Who did you see again? Press not to list for the time being, here first talk about the prince Zhu Pingjin.

Before the time came, two groups of people passed through Zheng Anmin, the right chief of the palace, and reported to the prince: people have been found.

The first group was the Huayang County Ya, who reported that they had found the missing sick beggar. The beggar did not leave the city, and he slept in the pile of beggars at the gate of Daci Temple that night. There were at least more than 100 beggars who spent the night at the gate of Daci Temple last night, and these people all need to be quarantined and take a bath with soap, so the main purpose of their performance is not only to show their merits, but also to fight some autumn breeze.

The second group was the left guard yamen, and they reported that they had found the guards on duty at Tirenmen last night.

"What about Commander Yu? Why didn't he come in person? Zhu Pingjin's anger had not yet subsided, and he stood in his empty office and yelled at Zheng Anmin, who came to report.

"Commander Yu is interrogating the prisoner. He sent someone to say, and when he asked clearly, he came to ask the prince for his guilt! Zheng Anmin replied calmly. Shizi gives people the impression of being polite and kind, and he can't imagine that there are times when he gets angry out of control.

"Lord Zheng, please be seated. Qin descendants serve tea. ”

Zhu Pingjin gradually calmed down. He knew that he couldn't take his anger out on Yu Ruzhen. Since Yu Ruzhen was ordered to be in danger, his ability cannot be said to be strong, at least he is still conscientious in his work attitude. The problems accumulated by the Left Guard for three hundred years have piled up, and it is unfair to count them on someone's head.

Zhu Pingjin thought about it for a while, and then opened his mouth to Zheng Anmin:

"Lord Qin is sick, and Lord Zheng is the head of the palace adjutant. According to the rules of this dynasty, the palace guards are also within the scope of Lord Zheng's duties. Manage people and affairs, and pay attention to preventing microscopic problems. The dereliction of duty of the Tirenmen guards is not an isolated trivial matter, and the left guards have also had Liu Quanzhong to rebel before. From this point of view, the left guard is rotten, rotten from the roots! Such an army can't go into battle, can't win a war, and now it can't even look at the door, and it's a waste of money and food to keep it! Therefore, this prince is ready to disarm the existing left guard sergeants and return to the field, and recruit Ding to form again. The left guard is the army of the imperial court, and it has a great stake, and this prince wants to discuss it with Lord Zheng. ”

If the prince wants to reorganize the army and deal with the future crisis, then the rectification of the left guard is a proper problem, and it is only a matter of time before or later. The prince of the world drew loyal and brave warriors from the caravan to form a guard platoon, which was responsible for the personal guard, in fact, it was gradually replacing the main function of the left guard - the guard. The last time I watched firearms in front of the left guard's yamen, there was originally a topic of the left guard's reorganization of the army. As a result, Song Zhenzong interjected and said that the selection of people in the left guard was not smooth. At that time, Zheng Anmin noticed that Shizi frowned, and then quietly brought the topic over, and finally did not mention it. He already knew that the prince was already extremely dissatisfied with the left guard, and he didn't have a seizure at that time, so he must have felt that the time had not come.

That night in the garden of the prince's mansion, there was a long talk, and the prince came to the rescue of Zheng Anmin, prompting Zheng Anmin to completely take refuge in Zhu Pingjian. In fact, the institutional design of the Ming Dynasty's palace chief historian inevitably prompted the chief historian and other royal officials to merge with the palace and become vassals of the palace. Zheng Anmin has been in the Shu Mansion for a year, and he already knows a lot about the prince. This young nobleman is a deep-minded person, and he won't make a move when the time comes. Once it is shot, it is likely to be a thunderbolt. It's just that he still wants to report his personal opinion on the disbandment and reconstruction of the left guard:

The roots of the big tree are rotten, and there are still a few intact leaves. The shell of the left guard is still very valuable.

He smiled and sat down and replied, "The prince is still annoyed by those angry people of the left guard? They have actually been disarmed and returned to the field, but it's no wonder they! ”

"What does Master Zheng mean?"

"The left guard was originally an elite warrior personally selected by Taizu to offer the king to the Shu land, and the armor was the most sophisticated among the six guards in Chengdu. As the prince's own soldiers, they followed the king into Sichuan for more than 200 years. For more than 200 years, they were born and grew up in Si, and have been the guards of the palace for generations. If they are faithful, they still have it. Last time, Liu Quanzhong conspired against the master, except for Liu's private soldiers, how many of them really went with him? The minister has heard that the few people who followed Liu Qianzhong to make noise were stunned when they learned that Liu Qianzhong's rebellion failed! Many people immediately wept bitterly and said that they were just blinded by Liu Quanzhong's official wish and the silver of the white flowers, and they had no intention of rebelling! ”

Zuo Guard is the oldest Wang owned enterprise and can be called the eldest son of the Shu Kingdom. The current sergeants of the left guard are all retired and hereditary veteran employees of the royal enterprise who have been retired for more than ten generations. It seems that Wang has a long way to go in enterprise reform. Zhu Pingjin listened and thought about it, and realized the arduousness and complexity of rectification and reform.

"Since the establishment of the domain, whenever there is a war, the government is always afraid that the relatives and vassals will be lost, so in the name of protecting the palace, they are trapped within the palace walls of the palace, and they have never been in battle. In this way, the elite warriors have become weak soldiers who can't even beat the street hooligans! Chengdu Mansion, a prosperous place in a province, is full of businessmen and extravagant and exquisite. The officers and men of the left guard were not well fed, and there were many people who were engaged in their own industries, and they would inevitably get caught in the air of a market well when they went in and out of it day and night. In addition, in recent years, the anti-thief Liu Quanzhong has taken flattery as his ability and neglected to practice, so it is not surprising that the discipline of the left guard army is not strict and the camp is not in order. ”

Wang Qi is like a pampered greenhouse flower, as soon as it sees the ups and downs of the market economy, it reveals the original shape of the strong outside and the dry in the middle. Zhu Pingjin thought of this and completely calmed down. He didn't want to go through hundreds of years, and in the end he still had to receive petitioning workers.

"Lord Zheng's meaning, this son of the world understands. The left guard, while reliable, is difficult to use. The three major battalions of the Beijing Division, are they sympathetic to my left guard? "What does Zhu Pingjin mean is that provincial enterprises and central enterprises are not the same thing?

"Shizi Mingjian!" Zheng Anmin laughed, "Jingying, the skin is bare, and there is a bag of grass in it!" Everyone in officialdom knows it. The Liao army, the Qin army, the Chu army, the Yu army, who wants to be with the Beijing camp in the battle array? ”

"Now that the situation in Shu is grim and the bandits are rampant, the caravan will soon be dispatched to the north to participate in the war. We are running out of time, and this is another plague, delaying a lot of things! Zhu Pingjin looked at Zheng Anmin and revealed his core secret to him, "Lord Zheng is the heart of this prince, and he has been in the palace for more than a year, and he knows the chronic diseases of the left guard well. The left guard guards the palace forbidden, stationed in the provincial capital, the responsibility is heavy, but the battle array can not be on, the palace can not be guarded, the annual salary is 100,000 taels, so decadent, this world can not sleep at night! ”

Not only exposed the military plane, but also known as the heart, Zheng Anmin is such a smart person, and immediately understood what Zhu Pingjin meant.

He smiled and arched his hand: "If the minister can get out of trouble this time, it will be the grace of the prince." The left guard is ill, and the minister is duty-bound, and he is willing to explain it to the prince! ”
