Everyone was answering each other, and there was a sudden commotion outside the hall, and then a group of sturdy men who were also wearing flying fish suits appeared at the door one by one, and after seeing Lu Jin, who was sitting on the top position, they were stunned at first, and then strode in, and after lining up, they clasped their fists at him and saluted: "I have seen Lord Lu in my humble position, but I have been delayed because of official business, so I am a little late, and I hope that my lord will forgive me." ”

Lu Zhen sat there upright, his eyes flickering over them, but he didn't see that Song Qianhu, who had been sent out by him before, was among them, and he understood after thinking about it. Obviously, these dozen or so people were not brought by Song Qianhu to shout, but came on their own.

But in this way, it is a little interesting, seeing them come hand in hand, it is obviously like an appointment, which is clearly a demonstration in front of themselves! Lu Jin, who understood this, frowned slightly, but instead of hitting them as before, he pointed to the empty chair behind him: "You guys sit down." ”

Originally, these people were still preparing to face Lord Lu's reprimand, and they even thought of some words to defend themselves, but they didn't expect this person to be so easy to speak, but he just had a calm face, and he didn't even say anything serious. This made them breathe a sigh of relief, but they also looked down on this civilian boss, and felt that he was nothing more than that, and they didn't have to care too much about him in the future.

Cui Heng and the others had a different face, why did Lord Lu look better at this time than just now? If they had known that this was the result, they should have come back later, but they could have saved a meal.

Just when everyone in the hall had their own thoughts and pondered, people outside arrived one after another. After each meeting with the new commander, they were also arranged to sit in the next place. Seeing that Lu Zhen didn't have any intention of letting everyone go, everyone's contempt for him was even stronger, and they kept communicating with each other, but because of his new official taking office and his gloomy face, he didn't dare to speak presumptuously.

After more than half an hour, seeing that it was about to be time, I saw Song Qianhu lead three or four more people into the hall together, and the former took the first step to bow his hand: "Lord Lu, I am fortunate to be dishonored, and I have recruited all my brothers in Beijing." ”

"Well, Song Qianhu has worked hard, everyone sit down and talk." Lu Zhen pressed his hand and motioned for the last few people to sit down, and then swept his eyes over their faces. Although he didn't say anything, his sharp gaze still made the hearts of these thousands of families who were late suddenly feel excited, and the contempt just now dissipated a lot.

After calming the people in front of him with his eyes, Lu Jincai said slowly: "Originally, there were some things that the official didn't want to say right away, and I plan to talk to you after everyone is familiar with it." But judging by your performance today, there are some things that cannot be ignored. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Do you still know what kind of yamen my Jinyi Wei is, and who are we? Everyone was stunned by this, and they didn't know how to answer. And Lu Zhen didn't expect them to answer, but quickly gave an answer: "The foundation of our Jinyi Guard is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, and it is the eyes, ears and sharp weapon of the Son of Heaven. When Emperor Taizu created Jinyiwei, in order to spy on the enemy's intelligence, until the world was pacified and my Ming court was established, the role of Jinyiwei became the supervision of hundreds of officials......"

Listening to him talk about the history of Jinyiwei endlessly, a few people seemed to have feelings because of this, feeling that the contrast between the past and the present was too strong, and they were ashamed, but more people showed disdain, these things they were already familiar with, and they still used him Lord Lu to do this cliché?

Lu Zhen said with a sigh that he had only recently understood the development history of Jinyiwei, and then suddenly mentioned his voice: "...... But why did Jinyiwei fall to such a point now? It's okay to be feared by the people and disliked by the officials, after all, what we do is to make them uneasy, but why doesn't even Your Majesty pay attention to Jinyiwei anymore? Even those six- and seven-grade officials in the DPRK and China no longer take Jinyiwei seriously? Haven't you thought about the reason for all this? ”

Suddenly, a series of questions were asked like a storm, and everyone was caught off guard, everyone looked at him in surprise, and a few clever people already vaguely felt that he was going to use the topic to play.

Sure enough, I saw Lu Zhen sneering and saying, "I know what you want to say, it is precisely because the Holy Family is no longer there that Jinyiwei has fallen to such a point." But have you ever wondered why your predecessors were able to gain the trust of the Holy Grace, but you can't? Is it His Majesty's fault? ”

Naturally, no one dared to admit this, how could the Son of Heaven be wrong? Everyone shook their heads busily: "My lord's words are serious......

"Of course I'm serious! Its root is not in His Majesty, but in Jinyiwei itself! Lu Zhen waved his hand and quickly interrupted their words: "It's because you slack off and give up on yourself that you ended up with such a result." Don't be unconvinced, think about today's events, do you need to say more?

"As early as a few days ago, this official has sent an order to wait in the yamen of the Zhenfu Division at the end of the day. But as a result, it was almost time to get to this point, and you people were late. Is this what a lieutenant soldier should look like? Such people who don't obey orders are still holding important positions in thousands of households in my brocade guard, but what do you rely on to convince your subordinates and set an example for them to do what they prohibit?

In the official's opinion, this is the key to the collapse of Jinyiwei's status and power today. It is precisely because you yourself are not motivated at all that others no longer take you seriously. There is an old saying that people must insult themselves first and others will insult them later, and this is what you are talking about! ”

Listening to his scolding and beheading, he degraded everyone to worthless, which made these brocade guards angry for a while. However, when they tried to speak, they did not know what to say. Because in fact, they themselves know these truths in their hearts, but they have not admitted it in the past, or they are knowingly committing it.

At this time, someone behind suddenly whispered: "Isn't it just that Ying Mao is late?" Adults, this is too much fuss......"

Although this voice was small, everyone in the hall had not spoken at this time, so it naturally immediately fell into Lu Jin's ears, making him suddenly raise his eyes and look at the speaker: "Who are you, if you have something to say, stand up and speak it openly, don't learn to be a woman with a long tongue, you will only mumble behind your back." ”

The colleagues around subconsciously avoided the side, and many people stared at this person with surprised eyes, saying that you didn't hit the muzzle of the gun? At this time, my lord, he was on the fire, and he was worried that he couldn't find anyone to open the knife!

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, he had to stand up hard, hugged Lu Zhen and said: "Tan Zixia, the deputy of the lowly Jinyi Guard, has seen the adult, and his father is the ...... of Chong'an, who was named the Marquis of Chong'an when he was the first emperor."

Lu Zhen immediately interrupted his words: "In my Zhenfu Division, you only have your own official position, as for what your background is, there is no need to go into details." He naturally understood why the other party said this, obviously because he was weak in his heart, and he was worried that he would be severely punished, so he used his family background as a shield.

Seeing him say this, Tan Zixia's face stiffened, and his heart sank, knowing that the situation was very bad. Sure enough, I heard Lu Zhen say: "This official knows that most of you are the descendants of the heroes of the founding of the country and the martyrdom, and their identity and family background are far away from my commander. However, Jinyiwei is no better than other places, since you are all here on an errand, you are my subordinates, don't think that you can be different from others because of your own identity! ”

"Don't dare to ......," everyone hurriedly said. In fact, most of these people's so-called family backgrounds are also bluffing, if they really have a high status, they will hang a false title in the brocade guard, and they will never appear here. Those like them who are really bad are either hereditary Jinyiwei, or they are the children of the family who cannot be reused, and it is impossible to suppress the dignified Jinyiwei commander with their identity.

Lu Zhen didn't dwell on this issue, but just nodded: "It's best if you don't dare." Just now you said that you were just late, what kind of fault did you count? Then the official will tell you what kind of fault this is!

"In my Ming army, if you are late, one drum is thirty, two drums are eighty, and you wear a flail for three days. And today, you people are not only late for the three drums, right? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone felt a sudden chill in their hearts. If he had been convicted as he had said, most of the people here would have fallen to the ground.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to compare like this, isn't it?" At this time, the only one who could persuade was Cui Heng, who was not late: "We are not ...... in the army after all."

I didn't want Lu Zhen to shake his head: "Who said that my Jinyiwei is not an army?" I have just made it clear that my Jinyi Guard is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, and when it comes to it, it will only be stricter than that of ordinary guards! But what about you? Have you really considered yourself a soldier all these years? But is there still a little bit of what a soldier should look like? No, I don't think you have any understanding of this, that's why you have fallen to the point where you are feared by the people, disliked by the officials, and abandoned by Your Majesty today! ”

These words were heavier than just now, but this time, everyone had different reactions, and many people lowered their heads in shame, obviously poked in the heart by Lu Jin's words, and they didn't dare to refute it at all. Even that Tan Zixia was shocked and ashamed......
