Over the years, Lu Zhen has also served as a feudal official, and he has also been a high-ranking official in the DPRK and China, and the lives in his hands are even more unknown. Therefore, even if he is only a short time old, his bearing is no less than that of those middle-aged officials who have been in the officialdom for a long time and are forty or fifty years old.

suddenly appeared at this moment, didn't need to say anything, just swept his eyes in, and gave a strong oppressive force to the subordinates who were still laughing and laughing in the hall, so that they quickly shut up, and then a few people stood up from their seats with some uneasiness, and respectfully clasped their fists and saluted: "I have seen Lord Lu ...... my humble position."

Although this is the first time Lu Zhen has come to Zhenfu Si Yamen, and it is also the first time he has officially met with these people, but he is famous and a trusted minister, these brocade guards naturally recognize him. Then, some other people also came back to their senses, got up one after another, and looked outside a little strangely before saluting Lu Zhen awkwardly.

Don't look at what they said presumptuously behind their backs just now, it seems that they don't take Lu Jin, the new commander, seriously, but when they really come to people, they still feel a little trembling, and they don't dare to really lack courtesy.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen only nodded slightly, then walked straight to the top chair with a calm face, sat down without concession, and quickly swept everyone in front of him, before pressing his hand and saying: "Everyone is their own person, and sit down and talk, don't be restrained." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone realized their nervousness, and many people's faces turned red. Just now, he said that he didn't take this commander seriously, but now that he really saw him, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe. At the same time, some people have already understood that this new Lord Lu is definitely much more powerful than they thought.

"You all glanced out twice when you saw this official just now, but didn't those captains outside the monster come in time to report?" Lu Zhen opened his mouth but was not busy getting acquainted with them, but threw out such a question. Without waiting for everyone to reply, he continued: "Actually, this is what the official told them not to pass on, otherwise I wouldn't know that you still have such a big opinion about the official." ”

"No...... Don't dare, the lower officials and others just complained, and hoped that the adults would forgive their sins. A man who looked a little capable in front of him hurriedly got up and pleaded guilty to Lu Zhen on behalf of the others: "Your Excellency should also know who are the people in my Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, you were suddenly sent as a civil official, and the brothers have some opinions." The others didn't dare to say anything, but they all nodded in agreement.

Lu Zhen glanced him up and down: "What is your current position in the Zhenfu Division, and what is your name?" ”

"Xiaguan calms Cui Heng." This person hurriedly clenched his fists and reported his official name and name, and bowed as he spoke.

"Cui Zhenfu, please sit down and talk." Lu Zhen smiled: "As for the matter of letting me introduce a civil official to Jinyi Wei to lead you, even this official is still a little confused in his heart, and it is normal for you to have such thoughts." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief again, it seems that he is planning to expose the matter like this? Come to think of it, he is a newcomer to the outside, can he really rectify them just because everyone is gossiping behind their backs? After relaxing, many people also showed a few disapproving smiles on their faces.

But their smiles were only for a moment, and they quickly froze on their faces. I saw Lu Jin's words suddenly turn: "However, the official position of this official as the commander of the Jinyi Guard was ordered by His Majesty personally, and it is just that you don't approve of it in your hearts, and now you dare to talk about it behind your back, what kind of sin is this, I think you should know better than me, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, they could frighten everyone a lot, and a few people who were not bold enough turned white in a flash. This kind of dissatisfaction with the edict of the Son of Heaven is disrespectful at best, and it is a crime of deceitful king. It was only then that they knew how big a handle they had fallen into Lu Jin's hands.

Even that Cui Zhenfu's face turned a little pale at this time, and he hesitated: "Big ...... Adults forgive sins, we are all coarse people, sometimes it is really just a brain to speak, and I hope that you will spare everyone this experience because of your adulthood. ”

"I hope your lord will forgive me...... everyone also understood at this time, and hurriedly got up again, clenched their fists and bowed to him deeply to beg for mercy, and almost knelt on the ground.

As the people of the Jinyi Guard, they know too well how lethal it is to raise the banner of the emperor, and if one is not good, everyone here will not be able to eat and walk around.

Seeing that these people were really afraid, Lu Jin's face softened slightly: "This official also knows that you are all unintentional, so he did not immediately investigate your responsibility." But I don't want a next time. Even if this official has indeed never led soldiers and horses, since he is an official of the imperial court and the commander of the Jinyi Guard sealed by His Majesty, it is not something you can discuss at will! ”

Everyone had to say yes, just begging him to reveal the matter as soon as possible. Lu Zhen didn't disappoint them too much, and only waved his hand: "That's it, you all sit down." ”

After they sat down a little apprehensively, Lu Zhen looked thoughtfully at the twenty or so people in front of him, and asked Cui Heng beside him: "Cui Zhenfu, if this official is not mistaken, there should be no less than 100 people in more than 100 households in Beijing now, right?" Even if you remove some people who can't come to the body, how can there be more than 50 people waiting here, why are there only a few of you today? ”

"This ......" Cui Heng suddenly looked embarrassed, and hesitated for a while before saying: "My lord, forgive me, in fact, our Zhenfu Division has always been officially opened around the time of Chen, and they have not come over at this time. ”

"Then why are you waiting here so early in the morning? But I remember very well that a few days ago I had sent you a message that I was going to come here today. ”

"Xu yes...... Maybe they were busy with official business for a while and forgot about it. A few officials remembered. Cui Heng was embarrassed that his forehead was already sweating, and he hesitated for a while before coming up with such a reason that was not a reason.

Lu Zhen sneered: "Really? I didn't expect that there were so many errands in the Jinyi Guard now, but the official blamed them. ”

Listening to the sarcastic words in his mouth, several people's faces looked even more embarrassed. Then Lu Zhen snorted again: "But even so, there is no errand that can compare to Ying Mao and welcoming me as a commander!" When they do this, they break the rules! Song Qianhu ......"

This greeting immediately shocked one of the men, and he immediately stood up: "Humble duty." ”

"It's up to you to take people to these people's homes and call them to the Suppression Division, and the official is waiting for them here, otherwise only a few of you are present, and some things are not easy to say." Lu Zhen stared at him and ordered.

was stared at by his somewhat cold gaze, Rao is Song Qianhu is a ruthless character on weekdays, and he actually felt a chill at this time. He knew that it was obviously the words he said just now that fell into the ears of Lord Lu, which made him dissatisfied in his heart, so he handed over such an errand to himself.

But now, he couldn't refuse, so he had to clench his fists and respond, and then hurried out.

The other people present also understood Lu Jin's intention of such an arrangement, and their hearts were even more terrified, this Lord Lu is really not a good person, and he will have to be more careful in the future. At the same time, everyone was a little lucky, fortunately they were still honest, and they arrived early today as instructed, otherwise they would have to eat and hang.

Lu Zhen saw that it was still early, so he simply asked Cui Heng about the specific situation of the Zhenfu Division: "Cui Zhenfu, how many brothers do I have in the Beizhen Fusi now?" ”

"If you look at the overall number, there are more than 2,000 people, but these brothers are scattered throughout the Gyeonggi area, and there are only two or three hundred people who really work here on weekdays."

"And what do they do?"

"It's hard to say this, some were ordered to take people on errands, some were sent to other provinces to perform official duties, and the rest stayed in the town and Fu Division."

"Do they have any practice on weekdays?" Lu Zhen asked again.

Cui Heng was obviously stunned for a moment: "Some brothers often practice martial arts in the school field in front of them, but others have no time to do these because they have their own positions." ”

"Really?" Lu Zhen nodded thoughtfully. Then, he remembered a little more and said: "What is the reputation of my Jinyiwei in the capital now?" What is the attitude of the officials towards us? ”

"This ......" Cui Heng suddenly looked embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to tell the truth.

It is said that since today's son ascended the throne, the status of the factory guard has really plummeted, not only in the officialdom there is no one to see, but also in the people, the prestige is not as good as at the beginning. And what makes them even more unacceptable is that in this case, Jinyiwei's reputation is even worse, making them quite uncomfortable every time they go out on errands.

He couldn't say it, but someone couldn't help but open his mouth: "My lord, our Jinyiwei has been worse than a day in the past few years, and His Majesty has less trust in us, and this time he also removed all the brothers in Nanjing, and sent some old people in our Zhenfu Division to Nanjing, which makes us almost unable to raise our heads in front of people." I hope you can help us talk in front of Your Majesty......"

Lu Jin smiled noncommittally: "Is that so?" The officer got it. Although he knew early on that the situation of the Jinyi Guards was not very good, he didn't expect that they had fallen to such a point, is this still the terrible Jinyi Guards that make people frightened and can stop the children in the capital from crying at night?

It seems that his previous plan was correct, he had to reorganize this brocade guard team, at least he had to train their spirits, otherwise how could he rely on them to deal with the accident a year later?
