Besides, he suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "His grandmother's, what's going on, my son actually brought a soldier and became a military attaché?" ”

He is really resentful, he has always regarded himself as a literati, and he should live a leisurely life of a talented man, how could he have something to do with military warriors? Now his home has turned out to be a military camp, and he has also become the upper echelon of Jinyiwei. Even if he dreamed for twenty years, he would not dream of this day!

He has no prejudice against Jinyiwei, just as he has no prejudice against eunuchs, Yan Song is a literati leader, but he has caused no less harm to the country than Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, and the harm may be even greater.

There is no good or bad distinction between Jinyi Wei and the criminal department and the provincial yamen, and the good and bad are relative. In addition, the Jinyi guards are particularly capable, with a transcendent status and great privileges, which are indeed true, but in essence, the connotation of law enforcement is different. Jinyiwei can be said to be a combination of the Secret Service and the FBI, which not only protects the safety of the royal family, but also has law enforcement powers over everyone in the country, and the power seems to be full coverage and no dead ends.

Therefore, it is an honor to join Jinyiwei, as a national guard, Jinyiwei's social status is quite high, and later generations have a bad opinion of Jinyiwei, mainly influenced by the pen and ink of literati.

How many generations down, Jinyiwei is a little bloated, mainly because of the princes and nobles, as well as the disciples of the high-ranking officials and eunuchs in various periods, there are many officials and few soldiers, but most of the officials in the shadow attack are idle, there is no actual position, between Jilu and the actual position, many people occupy the establishment of Jinyiwei, but there is no real right and function.

Zhou Dingcheng said with a smile: "You should have led the troops, especially if you want to go overseas to open up a happy land, where will you come from without soldiers?" Isn't that a gift of money to pirates and pirates? Besides, those people overseas were originally yours, but unfortunately they listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, only to protect you, but refused to be loyal to you. ”

"How many people are overseas, and how powerful are they?" Besides, he asked.

"I don't know the specifics, I heard that the power is very large, you think, dare to fight hard with the coastal eight pirate families, if the power is small, it would have been swallowed up a long time ago. I heard that they have more than 20 ships, tens of thousands of horses, and occupy a lot of territory, if they are willing to be loyal to you, the personnel and territory are ready-made, and the Promised Land will soon become a home. "Zhou Ding became enlightened.

Besides, he shook his head and thought to himself: Why should people give up the foundation that they have worked hard for decades to give it to you? Just for a so-called righteous name?

What is righteousness? Besides, I don't know, and those people don't know it, and even if they do, they may not be willing to be loyal to this nihilistic righteousness. He still has to start from scratch and accumulate bit by bit.

"You said that the emperor transferred me to a real position, has he already figured out my details?" Besides, it's a quiet road.

"Of course, the internal office of the palace must find out the eight generations of ancestors, this is the rule. But you're different, you may not even know about your grandparents, and you can't even figure out your name in the last few generations, so you can't write this resume? How could the emperor give you a real commander? Zhou Dingcheng was also a little confused when he thought of this question.

In the resume to the Ministry of War, he just wrote the names of his father and grandfather, his profession is a doctor, and his hometown is Suzhou, which was written casually at that time, because he didn't know about the previous generations, and asked Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng said that it doesn't matter, just fill it in casually, and he will go to the Ministry of War to say it.

I thought that if my resume was not clear, he would definitely not pass the test, but he wished that it would be like this, in that case, he could return to Nanjing directly. Unexpectedly, it passed smoothly, and the emperor directly gave him the title of Jilu Commander, and now he has been transferred to a real position. Besides, I feel that I can't help but enter a cover, a glorious cover.

"Maybe there is an old master and Master Zhang to endorse you." Zhou Ding explained in a row.

Chen Musa has a deep friendship with Jiajing and Longqing father and son, and the letters have never been interrupted, and he is Chen Musa's heir, and the emperor can be trusted because of this, in addition, he is Zhang Juzheng's staff, of course Zhang Juzheng will endorse him.

"And Wei Guogong." Besides.

"Wei Guogong?" Zhou Dingcheng didn't expect this.

Moreover, he told Zhou Dingcheng that Wei Guogong had such a sentence in his recital to the emperor: Besides, he is as loyal as a child, and he has no dissent. He was still strange at the time, and now he thinks that this sentence of Wei Guogong should be a reply to the emperor's inquiry.

But it is also possible that the emperor is using these to paralyze his opponent. This is a secret thought.

Zhou Dingcheng pondered: "I think, the main thing is that you have the identity of the second son of the Marquis of Wucheng, and it is not strange for the Duke of Wei to guarantee a meritorious son." ”

"There is a reason for Lord Guogong's guarantee, and the relationship between the teacher and him is the key, mainly because the emperor has inquired about him."

Besides, with a wry smile, he has always been puzzled, why did the emperor pull him, a literati and a royal doctor, into the Jinyi Guard? I'm afraid this is related to his identity as the second son of the Marquis of Wucheng, and the sons of meritorious heroes lead troops in every dynasty.

"Don't think about these questions, my brain is already a mush bucket." Zhou Dingcheng sighed.

Besides, he nodded. He played chess with the emperor, and there were various sources of formal and informal information over there, but he had nothing here, and the information was seriously asymmetrical.

This game is too difficult to play.

The emperor has government yamen all over the country, there are eunuchs in various places, and there are some other informal clerks, such as Jiangnan weaving, imperial merchants from all over the country, etc., which he can't compare, and his most important source of information now is only Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng's information is completely open to him without any reservations, but the amount of information there is not large, and the most important part should be in Gao Gong's hands.

Should I go to Gao Gong Xu Jie to visit the door and take the opportunity to get more information from all over the world? He thought so.

Jin Yiwei also has a set of his own information network, since he has become a commander, he should be able to contact some, but Jin Yiwei's information network is mainly for the capital and the jurisdiction of Zhili, and the information of other provinces is minimal.

He was thinking about this, and Murong Yanran came back.

"The seniors are back." Besides, he and Zhou Dingcheng stepped forward to greet him. Although Murong Yanran has always respected him very much, he never dared to call himself a son, in that case, Murong Yanran was unhappy, and it was estimated that he would not be far from losing his head.

"Well, the words from above, the emperor's mind is still unpredictable, and we have to plan for the worst." Murong Yanran's expression was rather heavy.

"Who are the people above, are they at the level of the Heavenly Master Sect Master?" Besides, he asked.

Murong Yanran smiled bitterly and said, "Childe, don't talk nonsense, I really don't know." Last time I was called to a meeting, I saw a few people above, but I only saw their shadows, I don't know who they are? ”

"Shadows?" Moreover, he and Zhou Dingcheng were shocked.

With Murong Yanran's skills, even across the street, he can clearly perceive a person's appearance, and he can't see the faces of those people clearly in a meeting in a room, is there really a shadow in the world.

"They can't be special creatures, shadow people, right?" Besides, he asked.

Murong Yanran smiled and said, "Childe's imagination is too rich, where is there a shadow person in this world." ”

Besides, he doesn't think so, since the old man can invade his mind with images and sounds, he believes in any strange thing that happens in this world.

"What was discussed at that meeting?" Besides, he asked.

"It's a very important thing, but now I can only keep it a secret from my son, and it's not time to say it." Murong Yanran said apologetically.

"Why? Is it because I'm too low-level, or am I not trustworthy? "And I feel slighted. It is more accurate to call a fool when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth.

"No, the major matters studied at the meeting are all for your safety, Childe, and not to tell you the truth, but also to protect you."

"Protect me? Nothing to let me know just to protect me? Is there such a protection law? Really, if I'm a three-year-old? Now the emperor may know more about my situation than I do, but I am in the dark, this is what you call protection? "And it broke out.

He has been restrained and endured all this, and today he really can't bear it. It's too much of a deception.

Zhou Dingcheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, just lowered his head and played with his fingers.

"Please believe me, I won't tell you because I don't have this power." Murong Yanran was also helpless.

"Then whoever has the right to arrange a meeting between me and him." Besides.

"I can report it, I don't know if I can see it, I guess that person won't meet you, and the time is not ripe." Murong Yanran explained.

"Why? When is the time ripe? After the emperor punishes me? Besides, he asked with wide eyes.

"I do everything I am told, I never ask why, I can only do what is within my power. For me, all the whys add up to one reason, and that's to do what I'm told. Murong Yanran sighed.

She also has resentment in her heart, since she arrived in the north, she feels excluded and oppressed, far less comfortable than in the south, and even feels that these people in the north treat her as an outsider.

Her resentment has been accumulated in her heart, and there is nowhere to dissipate, if it weren't for the mission, not for the protection, and there have been some emotional factors in the past few years, she would have raised her legs and returned to Jiangnan.

Besides, he sighed, it was all in vain, as long as he couldn't meet the people at the top, he would never know the root of the matter, and he would not be able to reveal the mystery of his background.

Keep guessing, keep waiting, people will get old, do you really have to wait the year before last?

"But there is also speculation about your appointment this time." Murong Yanran said suddenly.

"What is it?" Besides, he asked.

"Drive, tiger, swallow, wolf." Murong Yanran said these four words word by word.
