When Li Hongyu returned to Li's house, Qin Yue and Rou'er were anxiously waiting in the living room in the front yard, and they were relieved to see him enter the courtyard door, and greeted him out of the living room with concern.

"Sister Yue'er, Sister Rou'er, I made a friend in Wenyuan Pavilion today." In the living room, Li Hongyu took a sip of hot tea from the teacup, and said to Qin Yue and Rou'er on the side with a smile, "In the future, you will walk around more with his family." ”

"Brother Yu, I heard that Wenyuan Pavilion is the place where the cabinet elders work, have you met the cabinet elders?" Qin Yue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked excitedly, in her eyes, the elders of the cabinet were all high-ranking existences, and they were out of reach.

"I'm just a small person, where can I qualify to get acquainted with those cabinet elders." Li Hongyu knew that Qin Yueli had misunderstood what he meant, so he explained with a smile, "That new friend of mine is Shu Jishi. ”

"Grigs?" Qin Yue was stunned when she heard this, it was the first time she had heard of such an official position, and she didn't know what Shu Jishi was doing, and Rou'er also showed a puzzled look on her face.

Seeing this, Li Hongyu smiled and explained to Qin Yue and Rou'er, and the two of them realized that Shu Jishi was a Jinshi with excellent grades and wanted to become the stepping stone of Hanlin Academy.

"Brother Yu, is Hanlin very powerful?" Therefore, Qin Yue became interested in Hanlin and couldn't help but ask with interest, otherwise there wouldn't be so many Jinshi who wanted to become the Hanlin of Hanlin Academy with Shu Jishi.

"Hanlin is the most knowledgeable group of people in the Ming Dynasty, and can be called the mainstay of the Ming scholar class." Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and said, "Don't look at Hanlin's official rank, but he is admired by the people of the world, even if he is a high-ranking official and dignitary, he must be polite and give three points." ”

"Brother Yu, then you must become Hanlin, so that you can better realize the ambition in your heart." Qin Yue's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she said to Li Hongyu with a smile, she believed that Li Hongyu would definitely become a Hanlin.

Rou'er's face also showed a look of expectation, although it was difficult to become the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, but she believed that Li Hongyu would definitely succeed.

"Hanlin!" Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart, if he can become Hanlin, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to him in the future, you must know that the signboard of Hanlin is still quite valuable.

"Young Master, someone is visiting." Just when Li Hongyu was talking and laughing with Qin Yue and Rou'er in the living room, a family member walked in quickly, holding a famous note in his hand.

"Jinyi Wei Baihu Zhang Hu!" Li Hongyu couldn't help but be slightly stunned after opening the name post, the content on the name post surprised him, and in his impression, it had nothing to do with Jinyiwei at all.

"Jin Yiwei?"

Hearing this, Qin Yue and Rou'er's faces suddenly changed, the two of them had heard the murderous name of Jinyiwei when they were in Baihe Town, and knew that it was a group of fierce and vicious existences, relying on the Dongchang behind them to run rampant, whether it was the emperor's relatives or civil and military officials, as long as they saw who was not pleasing to the eye, they would be arrested and tortured in the edict.

"Brother Yu, why are the people from Jinyiwei here?" Immediately, Qin Yue looked at Li Hongyu with a concerned expression, her face was full of worry, she didn't want to have anything to do with Jinyiwei's people.

"Probably for the three-masted galleon." Li Hongyu groaned for a moment when he heard this, and then comforted Qin Yue with a smile and said, "It's okay, although this Zhang Hu is a person from Jinyiwei, he is not subordinate to the Beizhen Fusi, and he has no power to arrest people." ”

It is worth mentioning that the function of the Jinyi Guard is the royal guard, responsible for the safety and honor of the emperor and the royal personnel.

As for those Jinyi guards who are arresting people everywhere, they come from an institution under Jinyiwei - Beizhen Fusi, and Beizhen Fusi has an edict prison, which can arrest imperial relatives and high-ranking officials and dignitaries for interrogation without trial.

The reason why Jin Yiwei is famous is because of the Beizhen Fusi, because the Beizhen Fusi has the power to arrest and torture people, so the civil and military officials are not afraid of its three points.

In fact, in addition to the North Town Fu Division, Jinyi Wei also has the South Town Fu Division, where the "south" and "north" do not refer to the geographical direction, but to distinguish the names of the two Zhen Fu Divisions.

Like the Beizhen Fusi, the Nanzhen Fusi is also in Beijing City, not in the rumored Nanjing City, located behind the Yamen of the Imperial City and the Five Military Governors' Mansion, the two are not far apart, otherwise the people of the Nanzhen Fusi would have to come all the way to Beijing City to perform their duties?

The responsibilities of the Southern and Northern Towns are different, and the South Towns and Ministers are in charge of criminal investigations, interrogations, judgments, intelligence, and the research and development of military weapons for military personnel in the capital, including Jinyiwei.

The Beizhen Fu Division was in charge of secret surveillance, anti-corruption and anti-corruption by local feudal kings and officials, independent interrogation, arrest, judgment, detention (edict) and counter-espionage matters.

At the beginning, Jinyiwei, like other pro-military guards, only had one Zhenfu Division, that is, the South Zhenfu Division.

After Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, he set up another Zhenfu Division under Jinyiwei, which was later known as the Beizhen Fusi.

In fact, for a long time after the establishment of the North Town Fu Division, there was no own seal, and it was always used together with the South Town Fu Division, until Emperor Chenghua ascended the throne This problem was solved, and the responsibilities of the South and North Town Fu Division were clarified, and the seal of the South and North Town Fu Division was cast.

In order to distinguish between the two Zhenfu Divisions, the seal letter is expressed as "south" and "north", which is the origin of "South Zhenfu Division" and "North Zhenfu Division".

Originally, both the South Town Fu Division and the North Town Fu Division were under the jurisdiction of the highest commander of the Jinyi Guard, the Du Commander.

However, since the Beizhen Fusi had its own seal letter and determined the responsibility of the edict and prison, its supreme governor Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu Envoy had the qualifications to face the saint, and gradually made the Beizhen Fusi directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, and even the Jinyi Wei commanded the envoy and had no right to interfere with the Beizhen Fusi's case.

After listening to Li Hongyu's explanation, Qin Yue and Rou'er were a little relieved, the two were not familiar with the affairs of officialdom, where did they know that there were so many doorways in Jinyiwei, as long as it was not someone from Beizhen Fusi who could arrest people.

Since Zhang Hu came to the door, Li Hongyu naturally wanted to see him, so Qin Yue and Rou'er got up to leave, and the two naturally avoided this occasion.

Soon, the subordinate invited Zhang Hu, who was dressed in casual clothes, into the living room, followed by two men in civilian clothes, who seemed to be Zhang Hu's followers.

"Zhang Baihu." Seeing this, Li Hongyu got up and greeted him, and said quietly, "I don't know why Zhang Baihu came this time?" ”

"Li Jieyuan, there is something to ask for this time, and I hope Li Jieyuan can agree." Hearing this, Zhang Hu smiled and bowed back to Li Hongyu.

"Oh!" Li Hongyu pretended to be surprised when he heard this, and then asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what Zhang Baihu said?" ”

"It's not a secret, I like the model of the Western sea ship made by Li Xie Yuan very much, I don't know if Li Xie Yuan can make a rare object of the Western Ocean for Xia again." Zhang Hu smiled slightly and said quietly.

"So you bought that model ship!" Li Hongyu pretended to be surprised, looked at Zhang Hu and asked, "Lord Baihu also likes those wooden objects?" ”

"I like it very much!" Zhang Baihu nodded affirmatively, he definitely couldn't reveal that the person who likes wooden utensils is Zhu Youxiao, in that case, he would be killing himself.

"You may be seated." Li Hongyu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, enthusiastically asked Zhang Baihu to sit down on the chair next to him, and asked the maid to bring a steaming tea, and after tasting it, he smiled and said to Zhang Baihu, "Lord Baihu can buy the model of the ship with a thousand gold, which is enough to prove that he is a fellow person in the same way. ”

"Go to the backyard and bring the new object in my room." As he spoke, Li Hongyu commanded the maid who was standing aside and waiting.

Hearing this, the maid bowed to Li Hongyu, walked out of the door, and went to the backyard to find Qin Yue and Rou'er.

"Li Jieyuan, this is not very good, how can this official take your belongings for nothing." Zhang Hu didn't expect Li Hongyu to be so generous, so he said with a smile, it is a pleasure to deal with such a refreshing person.

"The Lord of the Hundred Households is serious, the so-called Qianjin is easy to know that it is difficult to find, since the adults are the same people in the same way as the next, then giving them to the adults in the next is purely a discussion, and has nothing to do with money."

Li Hongyu smiled and waved his hand when he heard this, and explained, "I am going to enter Beijing to take the exam, and I don't expect this craft to support my family." ”

"That official is better than obeying his fate." Zhang Hu no longer shirked when he heard this, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile, of course it would be best if he could not spend money.

Li Hongyu and Zhang Hu chatted with great interest about woodware, he could work hard in order to deal with Zhu Youxiao, so he talked eloquently in front of Zhang Hu, and seemed to know a lot about the field of woodware, and Zhang Hu, who listened, nodded frequently.

While the two were talking, the maid who had left earlier returned, holding a tray with a model of an old-fashioned wooden single-winged ******, lifelike, delicate and beautiful.

"Li Jieyuan, what is this?" Zhang Hu naturally saw this model of a monoplane for the first time, and asked Li Hongyu suspiciously while looking at it.

"Lord Baihu, this is a wooden bird made in Xia, and I have read some Western books in Xia, as long as it is made with sufficient precision and exquisiteness, then this wooden bird can fly in the air." Li Hongyu smiled slightly and opened his mouth to explain to Zhang Hu.

"Can it fly?" A look of shock appeared on Zhang Hu's face, this was the first time he had heard of such a strange thing, could it be that the slender wings could fan up and down like a bird?

"Sure, it's gliding through the air." Li Hongyu smiled and nodded, and then said with longing, "If I have the opportunity, I want to make it and see if it can really soar in the air as those books say." ”

Zhang Hu smiled when he heard this, and secretly wondered about the one-winged ****** in his heart, wondering if it could really soar in the sky as Li Hongyu said.
