Chapter 8 Fatal Risks
It has been more than two months since the new emperor ascended the throne, and he is still idle and bored, he has almost nothing to do, but his heart is tense all the time, and any wind and grass will make him feel shocked.
He is not scaring himself, but the environment he is in is almost a place of death, even if he sees death as home, he can't help but face up to this fatal risk that may come at any time.
"You don't have to be so nervous, you are now the commander of the Jinyi Guard, you can be regarded as a member of the imperial court, whoever wants to kill you has to think about the consequences. It's not a trivial matter to move a court official, where does the emperor's face go? Zhou Dingcheng comforted.
"What if something is wrong with the emperor? What is given to you can be taken back at any time, what is a commander? Besides.
"Of course, it's hard to say if the emperor has any thoughts about you, but the emperor really wants to have malicious intentions towards you, don't wait until today, when we first entered the capital, we just took care of us, why bother, first make you a commander, and then kill you? Take off your pants and fart the thing, the emperor will not do it. ”
Besides, thinking about it is the same reason, but what he didn't expect the most was the emperor's thoughts.
It is said that Gao Gong and Zhang Ju are the emperor's henchmen and think tanks, but both of them are also unfathomable to the emperor's thoughts.
As the emperor's personal guard, the Jinyi Guard is independent of other armies, but the Ministry of War still has a certain jurisdiction, and the appointment of a commander should greet the cabinet in advance, although the cabinet and the Ministry of War cannot restrain it. But this matter is one of the few things that the emperor does arbitrarily.
It is said that at the beginning, Gao Gong had a very big opinion on this matter, and he thought that Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng had colluded in private to install his own eyes and ears around the emperor.
No matter from which point of view, besides, they should be regarded as people in the circle of Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng, and they are Lian Daning's protégés, and Lian Daning is Xu Jie's protégé. Moreover, he is a disciple of Chen Musa, the relationship between Chen Musa and Zhang Juzheng is known to almost everyone in the court, and no one is surprised that Zhang Juzheng planned to recruit him as a staff member two years ago.
Later, Gao Gong knew through the relationship between the ceremonial supervisor in the palace that this matter had nothing to do with Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng, it was completely the emperor's arbitrary decision, and it was handled by the celebrant supervisor, and the emperor did not intend to leave a favor for Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng.
"The emperor wants a person who is truly his own? Or does it mean something else? ”
Gao Gong's hair turned white several times when he thought about this question, but he didn't understand it, he didn't dare to think too deeply, otherwise wouldn't it mean that the emperor didn't trust himself and Zhang Juzheng at all, and wanted to form another private team? This is of course impossible. For many years, the emperor has been obedient to himself, and has never refuted his advice once. The emperor will never offend the ministers for a hairy young man.
Therefore, Gao Gong has always been very polite to the situation, and there is obvious respect, but this politeness and respect also carries obvious precautions. Besides, I also felt it, but I didn't care, there was a huge disparity in rank between the two, and it would be too abnormal if they were as close as wine and meat friends.
"You're afraid of a ball, aren't you here with your brother?"
Now besides, the only regular customer in the house, Xiao Jun, said.
"You have a fart, are you a roundworm in the emperor's stomach?" Besides, there is no good airway.
"I can't control the fart, but if you are really in danger, my brother can guarantee that you can leave the capital safely at any time, what do you think I am doing here, I am secretly creating a safe passage for you."
Xiao Jun drank the wine that this commander could receive every month, and said on his legs.
Besides, he turned his head and ignored him, this thing is the "secret passage" that he boasted about every day, so he said it when he was in Nanjing. However, at that time, he and Zhou Dingcheng may have really made a passage to the outside of Nanjing, and now, God knows how much water this statement is.
"I said that if you really want to know the emperor's thoughts on you, it's not difficult, brother will teach you a trick." Jun smiled weirdly.
"What's the trick?" Besides, in a hurry, I didn't notice it for a while, and I really took the bait.
Not to mention him, even Zhou Dingcheng was very curious, and leaned his head over to listen.
"You can find two famous Yanei in the capital on the street, a green-skinned ruffian or something, open a killing ring, and then see how the emperor disposes of you, whether it protects you or not, you can see the emperor's mind clearly with one move." Jun laughed.
"Get out! How far to roll how far. He scolded angrily.
But it's not Xiaojun who is out, but besides, he really can't stand to continue to be in the same room with this guy.
Don't say what's more, even Zhou Dingcheng, who has always worn a pair of pants with Xiaojun and is embarrassed, couldn't stand it, and gave Xiaojun a Wudang whirlwind leg under the table, almost kicking Xiaojun out.
This guy is too bad, he knows that he will never kill until the moment of life and death, where will he be idle and have nothing to do to kill and play, isn't this obviously molesting people.
"What are you doing, you belong to a rabbit, and you still play rabbit and eagle?" Xiaojun is a master who never suffers, and immediately hit Zhou Dingcheng on the right rib with an empty hand.
"Sample, are you an eagle, say I'm a rabbit, let's find a few people to evaluate and see who is like a rabbit." Zhou Dingcheng knew that he couldn't beat Xiaojun, mainly because he couldn't prevent his empty hand without a trace, only that he was inexplicably the nemesis of the stunt of the empty door.
So he didn't move his hands and feet next, but was ready to have a war of words, in fact, he and Xiaojun had to bow down to Xiaojun in this regard, but the gap was smaller than martial arts.
"It looks like a fart, whoever says I'm a rabbit master, just let his women try it." Jun said triumphantly.
Besides, he fled to the next door, and listened to the two of them talk more and more, and quickly fled into the inner house, and his ears were quiet.
"What's wrong with you, there's a wolf dog chasing you?" Xiao Nier asked with a smile when she saw his embarrassed appearance.
"It would be nice if it were a wolfdog, this thing is much more ferocious than a wolfdog." Besides, he smiled bitterly.
After Xiao Nier knew what Xiaojun said, she understood why she covered her ears and ran away.
Besides, since I was a child, I have accepted the canon that I can only save the dead and help the wounded, hang the pot to help the world, and not open the killing ring, not to mention the killing ring, but I am allergic to it when I listen to it, and I will have a sense of guilt in my heart.
"Xiaojun, let's just talk about it, their empty Dao Gate is no less light on the killing ring than you." Xiao Nier said.
Besides, he nodded, but he knew in his heart that Xiao Jun had already opened the killing ring, but his killing methods were ingenious, and no one knew about it, and those who died in his hands would be judged by the government to die of natural causes.
Moreover, in the past few months in Beijing, he has almost cut off contact with the outside world, in addition to Zhang Juzheng's staff members and Zhang Juzheng's two sons, these are inevitable for him as Zhang Juzheng's staff.
He is not unaccompanied in the capital, in fact, there are quite a few, Wucheng Hou's father-in-law's family is in the capital, it is said that the relationship with him is very close, after he arrived in the capital, Wucheng Hou's father-in-law sent someone to send an invitation, he refused, and sent his son is Wucheng Hou's brother-in-law to visit him, he also refused.
He did this because he was afraid that if something happened to him one day, it would affect Wucheng Hou's father-in-law's family.
He came to the capital alone, in the final analysis, he was ready to survive in death, but he also knew in his heart that the face of life was too small. He has prepared for the worst, that is, "death is a disaster" in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, hoping to use his death to avoid the involvement of his family and relatives and even teachers and friends, of course, if he can survive this hurdle, he can break the curse hanging over the heads of the ancestors of the Kuang family, no longer have to live a life of fugitive, no longer have to live in the shadow of being hunted down and hunted down.
This is his life and death, and it is also the life and death of breaking the curse, and it is related to the fate of the descendants of the Kuang family, that is, his children and grandchildren, so he is ready to fight to the death.
Nanjing's Zhou Wenbin's family and Fengyang's Zuo's family both bought and sold in the capital, and they sent a letter to tell the steward here not to contact him until the situation was clear, so as not to harm the pond fish.
Zhou Dingcheng and Xiao Nier both laughed at him for worrying about the sky, and the sense of distress was too strong, in Zhou Dingcheng's opinion, since they arrived in the capital, the danger index has been greatly reduced, not to mention that the emperor also gave him an official hat of the commander of the brocade guard, this is the umbrella, but they insist on putting themselves on thin ice, silent like a cicada, they can't help it.
He didn't refuse Xiao Jun to come because no one knew Xiao Jun's identity, and even if there were countless people watching outside, Xiao Jun could come and go freely without knowing it, which was incomparable to anyone.
Now whether there is anyone outside to monitor him, he doesn't know, even Zhou Dingcheng and Xiaojun haven't found out, but besides, he believes that there is, this is not persecution phobia, but he knows that there are countless masters around the emperor, and there are many strange people with various special functions, and every generation of the emperor will gather such a group of people, which has nothing to do with Ming Jun Yongjun, these people have their own wrists that can impress the supreme, and they enjoy the days of being enshrined by the emperor's side.
These days, Xiao Nier is the happiest, because besides, I will take her shopping every day and walk around the capital, which has never happened.
In fact, this is still a sense of crisis at work, he wants to understand the various areas and streets of the capital, prepare for the crisis that will come at an unknown time, and he also wants to choose a good place and prepare to make a big deal.
What he wants is to do the pharmaceutical industry first, which is very simple, that is, to copy the set of Zuo Ling in Nanjing, the Zuo family's business in the capital is very small, because the capital is mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is impossible for ordinary people to make the business bigger, but now that he has an official identity, I believe that there are not many people who dare to suppress him, which has the conditions to do the business.
He also wanted to make an auction house, since he didn't want to mix in officialdom, it was better to make more money.
There may or may not be a crisis, bad luck may or may not come at all, he doesn't think about it now, no matter what, the silver still has to be earned.
He now has a lot of silver, but he still feels that it is not enough, not that he is too greedy, but that he has a dream in his heart, that is, to rebuild the fleet that Zheng He went to the West back then, which is not something that one or two million taels of silver can do.
But he made up his mind that as long as he didn't die, he must do it, and he must reproduce the peerless style of Zheng He's trip to the West.
