The emperor's tone was slightly deep: "A few years ago, I watched that Wang Zhen rely on the emperor's brother's favor to him and cause trouble to the dynasty, and finally caused the great disaster of the civil fort, so that my Ming Dynasty was almost lost in their hands. Therefore, when I ascended the throne, I deliberately changed my original mistakes and deliberately alienated the factory guards, hoping to stabilize my Ming Dynasty and make virtuous ministers have a chance to come out.

"In the past few years, the imperial court has indeed been much better than before, and the trouble of factory guards has been reduced a lot. But at the same time, I also discovered that there was another drawback. Not only are those courtiers far less obedient to me than they are to the emperor's brother, but even in many local matters, there are always people who hide their ideas from me.

"Take this Nanjing incident as an example, if the factory guard power is still in its prime, as early as when the Xu family has a disobedient heart, there will be spies to submit the secret report to Beijing, why is there any danger in the future, and let Lu Qing take this risk? And not only in Nanjing, but also in the city of Beijing at the feet of this Son of Heaven, there are too many things that I can't control, such as who is in contact with Nangong, and when he sent someone to leave Beijing to contact the Xu family in Nanjing, all of which I have also been kept in the dark. You say, did I overdo it in the matter of factory health, which led to today's situation? ”

"This ......" Lu Zhen is really hard to say. In fact, the answer has been given by the emperor himself, and this is exactly the case, as the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are indeed indispensable to the Ming Dynasty. Not even just to spy on intelligence, just as a deterrent to the ministers, their effect on the emperor is quite large.

However, Lu Zhen is now a civil official after all, and he is naturally on the opposite side of such an institution as the factory guard, and from his standpoint, it is naturally difficult to support the emperor's idea.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "Actually, I don't want to reuse the factory guard There is another layer of concern, and now it is difficult for the people in these two yamen to make me feel at ease and satisfied." Among these people, they are either incapable or have hidden selfish intentions, so how can I entrust the heavy responsibility to them? So in the past few years, I haven't really used them.

"But this time the changes in Nanjing made me have to make some changes. Otherwise, if they continue to be wasted, I will not know that the world is in chaos. So what I mean is to find someone who can reassure people with talent, courage and loyalty. Lu Qing ......"

Lu Zhen had gradually understood what the emperor meant, which gave him a headache, and when the emperor called him, he was even more shocked, and responded in a low voice: "The minister is here." ”

"Why don't you be the commander of this brocade guard, and help me keep an eye on this government and the opposition officials and people, how about the world?" After the emperor threw this question, his eyes were momentary, and he looked at the courtier with anticipation.

And Lu Jin, at this time, was completely stunned. Even if he had vaguely guessed his ultimate purpose, when the emperor really said what he meant, the impact on him was still not small, and his heart was immediately full of entanglement and reluctance.

For the trust of the Son of Heaven in himself, Lu Zhen is still quite grateful in his heart. But the thought that he was going to be the commander of this brocade guard, he was reluctant for a while.

Don't look at the many Chinese presidents in later generations who hold the Jinyi guard very high, as if there is no one in this world who they dare not catch or kill, as long as they have this layer of identity, it is an existence like a person under ten thousand people, and the government and the opposition can go sideways. But in fact, it's all imagination.

The real Jinyi Wei is just a group of military attachés who have served the emperor, and unless they receive an order to do an errand, the power in their hands is pitiful. What's more important is that the reputation of the factory guards and the like in the officialdom is really bad. Often, once people mention Jinyiwei, they will associate people with words like eagle dogs.

He is now a dignified squire of the military department, a real noble and high-ranking official, and his colleagues in the DPRK and China also respect him. But once he really becomes the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he will immediately be regarded as an anomaly, his reputation will plummet, and he will even become the public enemy of the Manchu officials, and even the laughing stock in the eyes of the world.

It is impossible for any courtier to agree to this kind of thing, because the price to be paid is too great, and it may not end up with any benefits.

But the emperor said it to this point, and it was very bad for Lu Jinruo to refuse directly, so he fell into a tangle, and he couldn't speak for a long time, just bowed his head and said nothing.

The emperor also understood his thoughts, and sighed again: "Lu Qing, I know that it is indeed too wronged to let you be the commander of the Jinyi Guard. But I really don't have a suitable candidate right now, can't you just help me with all the difficulty? I promise you that as long as you can cultivate a few usable people during this time, I will definitely transfer you out of the brocade guard again. ”

How can this kind of identity be casually adjusted and treated as if it never happened? Lu Jin continued to be silent.

After Zhu Qiyu hesitated, he made another concession: "Otherwise, you still have the official position of the squire of the military department, but you will also take over the command of the Jinyi Guard." How is it? ”

The emperor has already made such a big concession, and his tone is so sincere, Lu Jin, as a courtier, will really be a little too much to say if he doesn't reply. So after sighing, he said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister refuses to share your worries, but the minister is a civil official after all, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard is a military position, even if the minister is not afraid of causing criticism, he is also afraid of lack of ability, and he has failed to convince those Jinyi Guards and spoil His Majesty's major affairs." So, please think twice, Your Majesty......"

"I've thought very clearly, this is the right position for you. You were able to enter Beijing by dealing with the Tartars in the Northland, and you should not be under anyone else when it comes to armaments. Moreover, you have also had a lot of contacts and cooperation with the people of Jinyiwei over the years, and your friendship with them is also very good, how can you make them dissatisfied with this commander? Now that the border is peaceful, you, the squire of the military department, don't have any burdens on you, can't you just help me solve the problem in front of me? Lu Qing, I really couldn't find a suitable candidate than you so I had to choose you, so don't shirk! As he spoke, the emperor took the initiative to walk up to Lu Jin, and arched his hand at him.

Now, Lu Zhen is really hard to refuse, otherwise he would be too ignorant of promotion. He could only smile bitterly and arch his hand: "Since the minister is in the imperial court, he should share his worries for His Majesty." Although the minister still felt that there was something wrong with this matter, since His Majesty had decided that it was necessary for the minister, the minister had no choice but to reluctantly try. ”

"Good!" When the emperor saw that he finally agreed, he was immediately overjoyed: "I know that Lu Qing is the most loyal and capable. I believe that with you going to Jinyiwei, the original difficulties will be solved! ”

"Your Majesty has a good reputation, and the ministers are terrified." Lu Zhen felt bitter in his heart, knowing that this time he had to become the focus of the officials and people in Beijing again.

The emperor's interest was very high, and then he said with some eagerness: "By the way, since you have become the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the relevant decree must be issued immediately, as well as your official uniform, waist card and other things......"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, at least let the minister go back to the military department and hand over the errand in hand with Yu Butang before he can go to the Jinyi Guard to perform his duties." Lu Zhen couldn't help but speak, of course he meant that he wanted to drag it out for a while.

The emperor was not too dissatisfied with this, and immediately nodded approvingly: "Yes, Lu Qing is thoughtful, just according to your wishes, hand over the errand in hand first, and then go to the Zhenfu Division." However, I hope that you can make some achievements as soon as possible after you take office, so that you can clean up the atmosphere in the capital. ”

"Commandment." Lu Zhen had no choice but to agree, knowing that he was going to show a big face again this time.

After returning to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Lu Zhen ignored the envious glances of other colleagues and knocked on the side about the situation of the Son of Heaven leaving him in the palace, so he went directly to see Yu Qian.

Yu Qian, who was dealing with official business in front of the case, smiled when he saw him coming: "Shansi, this is just coming back from the palace, right?" Why, but what did Your Majesty tell you to convey on your behalf? ”

"Lord Yu...... The lower official was indeed appointed by His Majesty, but this matter is really difficult to do. Lu Jin had nothing to hide in front of Yu Qian, and after a slight hesitation, he told the emperor that he was going to appoint himself as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Yu Qian was also stunned for a while. If it weren't for Lu Jin's serious expression when he said this, and it would be impossible to joke about it, he would have thought that Lu Zhen was joking with himself.

After a while, he looked at Lu Jin, and said, "What you said is true?" The Son of Heaven really made such a ...... Ridiculous will? "This thing is really ridiculous in his opinion, how can he let a soldier be the commander of the brocade guard that everyone avoids? Is this the official job that a civilian official should do?

Lu Zhen nodded a little weakly: "Your Majesty's mind has been decided early, although the lower officials have shirked it several times, but Your Majesty still insists on his own opinion." After these two days, the lower officials have to hand over the official affairs in hand to others, and then go to the Zhenfu Division to perform their duties. ”

Yu Qian immediately frowned, shook his head and said, "No, you must not agree to this matter." In this case, if you do not speak well, I will speak to Your Majesty. If it doesn't work out, we can also ask other colleagues to play together, and we can always get His Majesty to take back his fate. As he spoke, he wanted to get up.

When Lu Jin saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Lord Yu is slow." Your feelings for the maintenance of the lower officials are within five of the officials, but this matter is not only the honor and disgrace of the lower officials, but also has a lot to do with the stability of the court and the world. In fact, this brocade guard is just a yamen, and there is no difference between good and bad, as long as the law is used properly, it may not be able to do good things for the court and the people! ”

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lu Jin: "What do you mean...... Are you really planning to obey the order to be the commander of this brocade guard? ”

"Now that the court needs the brocade guards to cleanse the atmosphere, the honor and disgrace of my own is actually nothing." Lu Zhen suddenly said with a straight face. These words made Yu Qian's eyes flash, and his original insistence couldn't help but waver......
