Chapter 534: Heavenly Street

Zhang Han is very satisfied with this kind of deployment, many people may be surprised by the strength of Yusheng in Xuanda, but Zhang Han knows that what he really masters is Datong Town, Taiyuan Town is only some places in the north, and the south is cut off in Taiyuan, and several prefectures in the southwest of Shanshan, and Yusheng are just ordinary big businessmen, with a certain amount of force, and the real power map has not been established.

In Xuanfu, it is only commercial influence, and there are more allies among the middle and lower-level civil and military officials, and at the top-level governor and governor of Xuanfu, as well as Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer, it is more about gold and silver transactions, rather than real alliances such as Ma Chengen.

Du Wenhuan to Datong, will be under the jurisdiction of Zheng Guochang, will not change the existing pattern of Datong, and Ma Chengen to Yansui, and Yusheng can run all the way to the past, over there, was originally the world of Shaanxi merchants, the court of that year, the Shaanxi Party and the Jin Party have united and fought, decades down, the Jin Party is declining but the Jin Merchants are still there, but the Shaanxi Merchants are in decline like the Shaanxi Party, and Yusheng enters Shaanxi, almost will not meet decent opponents.

This is good news, when Zhang Han was happy, everyone in front of the store was in an uproar, and all the merchants and guys in the store who were looking at the goods suddenly got out of the way.

A eunuch riding a yellow fat horse was in front, and several small eunuchs were behind, the three-mountain hats on their heads and the leather boots on their feet clearly showed their identity, and everyone saw that these eunuchs were discolored on their faces, and quickly got out of the way.

"The emperor's command," the eunuch on horseback was in front of the store, and when he saw Zhang Han hurrying out to greet him, he said directly: "Tiancheng, the commander of the two guards of the town and the two guards will come to the Huiji Gate to see him immediately, and he will see him." ”

"Obey." Zhang Han immediately bowed down and bowed.

After the eunuch finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Lord Zhang, change your official clothes, and hurry up and prepare to enter the palace with me." ”

"Yes." Zhang Han responded, Li Guobin had already handed a sealed red envelope to all the eunuchs on the side, ranging from five taels to ten taels of silver.

The rest of the people are in a hurry to change Zhang Han's clothes, the official uniform is the official in Beijing in the morning and evening, or the attendant wears it, and the foreign civil and military officials wear it when he sees His Majesty in Beijing, the court will wear court clothes, there are sacrificial clothes, and the daily office wears regular clothes, not the officials have always worn a set of regular clothes as later generations imagined.

The official uniform hat is a handkerchief, the long legs are different from the short wings of the black gauze hat, and then change to a scarlet robe, wearing a belt with a golden lychee pattern, wearing official boots, and no branches and big flowers on the official robe.

was originally a tall figure, with outstanding appearance and temperament, and this official robe added a bit of temperament.

"As long as the state guest and Xiping follow me, others don't have to follow."

It is not far from Qianmen Street to enter the imperial city, just go straight all the way, and there are eunuchs to follow, there will be no blind people to assassinate at this time, and Wen Zhongfa and others will not follow on the surface, Wang Faxiang will also arrange people from the action group who have been active in Beijing to protect in secret.

A third-grade military attache with two long-term entourage, this is also normal, the leading eunuch is a six-grade Fengyu, took twenty taels of silver, and was very satisfied in his heart, smiling in front of the head to lead the way.

Everyone enters the city from the Zhengyang Gate, and then goes straight to the left gate of Chang'an, when passing by the Daming Gate, the main gate of the majestic imperial city is closed as usual, this city gate will only be opened on extremely important ceremonial occasions, starting from the central axis of the palace city, through the noon gate end gate Tian, An, the door, and then to the Daming Gate Zhengyang Gate, until the southern suburbs, more than ten miles long road straight in the middle, without the slightest skew, at this time, the Yongnian year requisitioned hundreds of thousands of migrant workers to build a magnificent building for 20 years, although he knows that he is a little abusive, Zhang Han still can't help but look in the direction of the Daming Gate, where in the later generations is the memorial hall, the plaque on the city gate has been changed to Dashun Gate, Daqing Gate, Zhonghua Gate, Zhang Han feels that if you have to change the plaque, the word "China" should be the best result to replace the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone went to the direction of the left gate of Chang'an, and then went to the gate of Huiji, after entering the left gate of Chang'an, the flow of people was scarce and much, here is the commonly known Tianjie, all sides of the street are officials, the officials who come and go, only a few civilians, not far from the east side of the noon gate is the place where the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites and other six departments are located, the west side is the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the street is spacious, the flow of people is sparse, people's sight is also very open, all around are yellow and green tall buildings, After entering here, it seems to come to another world, there are very few high-rise buildings in Daming, and the hue of the building is of course very little yellow, here it is almost a large area of yellow, and in the later generations look at a very ordinary building complex, but at this time there is a sense of majesty that makes people particularly awe-inspired.

There are also forbidden troops patrolling everywhere, and there are soldiers and horses stationed in each yamen, and from time to time there is a team of forbidden troops with bright guns and bright armor passing by, looking burly and majestic, and the leaders are all military attaches of the 26th guard, these military attaches are wearing bright iron armor with armor leaves, coats and cloaks, but Zhang Han knows that the 26 guards are all like goods, and the entire imperial city and the palace city are protected by the forbidden army of more than 8,000 people, all from the flag bearer guard and the brocade guard, as well as the avant-garde of the government army, these three guards will not go out to fight, and are responsible for protecting the imperial city, The commanders are all military attaches from the governor to the level of commander and envoy, and the only person who is really responsible can only be Hou Boxun, who is retired with the country.

"Look like ......" Zhang Hanren is very kind, but he still can't help but evaluate these soldiers in front of him, they are the representatives of the highest armed forces of the Ming Dynasty, but from the appearance and posture of walking, the state of holding weapons, and the military discipline of looking left and right, whispering and laughing, I am afraid that these forbidden soldiers are far from Yusheng's recruits.

In addition to the more than 8,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city, there are also the warriors of the four guard battalions of the imperial horse supervisor, which should be the only army with combat effectiveness in the Beijing camp, but the training is also very poor, and the military discipline is very bad.

There are more than 100,000 people in the forbidden army of the three major battalions, but in fact, there are at most 20,000 or 30,000 people, and more places are occupied by the princes and eunuchs, and the civil and military attaches can also occupy the service, and it is allowed by the imperial court.

It was the first time for Zhang Han to enter this kind of central area of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't help but compare everything in front of him with what he was running.

"Something seems to be ahead." Xia Xiping rode behind Zhang Han's right hand side, and suddenly said loudly.

His expression was a little nervous, Xia Xiping also went through a month of short-term military training, most of these young people in the Heyusheng system have experienced, after arriving at Tianjie, Wang Faxiang's manpower could not enter, Li Guobin is not a soldier, Xia Xiping is the only person who can act as a guard, he is a little nervous, his right hand can't help but press on his waist, where there is a short knife.

"Looks like something's going on." Li Guobin said: "It seems that Jinyi Wei is taking people." ”

There are indeed a lot of brocade guards in front, there are more than a dozen Jinyi guard military attachΓ©s wearing flying fish suits, dozens of brocade guards, and some people dressed as Dongchang soldiers, a total of more than 100 people, these people gathered outside the lobby of the Ministry of Industry, and the people around the audience are also gathering more and more, and some officials wearing official robes and black gauze hats are also gathered in a pile to watch.

The eunuch led by him did not stop, Zhang Han and others also followed all the way, and when they arrived in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, they saw a fat eunuch standing in the middle of the crowd, and said with a full spirit: "This is the will, do you understand the will?" ”

An official of the Ministry of Works, looking at the clothes as if he was a squire, frowned and said to the eunuch: "The father-in-law must take out the will, otherwise the words will not be clear......"

"To say is to be the will is to be the will!" The fat eunuch is Gao Qiqian, his face was flat, and he said loudly: "Wanjing slandered the emperor and Father-in-law Wei, and the emperor was very angry after reading his performance, and immediately ordered our family to bring someone out to scold this surnamed Wan, if you don't believe it, you can go to the palace now to ask to see the emperor, otherwise you can see Grandpa Wei." ”

raised his latent anger, and even his voice became much rougher, like a man full of neutrality.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry around him were shocked by him, the status of the Ministry of Industry was the lowest among the six ministries, and the ordinary court meetings rarely spoke out, how could they be qualified to say that they would go to see the emperor if they went to see him? Besides, now that Wei Zhongxian is powerful, which official really ran to Wei Zhongxian to die?

Someone whispered, "What did Wanjing write?" ”

There is a person next to him: "I have read the manuscript of the fold, and there are a few words in the fold that are particularly vigilant, and they are also the cause of its disaster, and I will recite it to you: the loyal and virtuous steal the power, and take life and death, and they are in their hands." To the inner court and the outer court, I don't know that there are loyal and virtuous, but I don't know that there is Your Majesty. How can you stay for a day? ”

"Alas," sighed the man who asked first, "this is indeed the cause of death." ”

Although there are many people around, and even many people are angry, there are also many officials of the three parties in the old days who feel happy in their hearts, in the past few years, it is the Donglin Party that covers the sky with one hand, the cabinet is Donglin, the Ministry of Officials is Donglin, the Procuratorate is also Donglin, and the imperial history and the matter are still Donglin!

Wei Zhongxian began to show signs of breaking with Donglin because of Wang Xinyi's matter, before that, the eunuch party was just a small organization of three parties to join the powerful eunuchs and huddle together for warmth, and at this time, if Wei Zhongxian can really withstand the pressure of Donglin, the eunuch party will officially become a political force that can compete with Donglin.
