Chapter Seventy-Five: Chameleon
The training of the Praetorian Guard is finally on the right track, although there are only more than 10,000 people, but for Zhu Youxiao, this means that he has begun to really have a descendant army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
These young and strong officers and men who have sweated on the school field and accepted the baptism of their great and righteous thinking will be the most powerful guarantee for their own reform and opening up the territory.
At the same time, it was also the first time that Zhu Youxiao verified his military thinking and put it into practice.
He didn't know if his army would be an unprecedented army in terms of combat methods and combat effectiveness.
But what he can be sure of is that this young strong officer and soldier will definitely not be like the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp in history when he faces the thieves in the future.
However, as an emperor, let alone an emperor with hundreds of millions of people, it is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to spend all his energy on the training of the Praetorian Guard.
As soon as he left the Praetorian Guard training ground, he immediately changed his clothes, wearing a light blue straight jacket, a corrugated hat, and moire boots, and came to the streets of the capital in micro-clothes.
Because Wang Chengen, who is in charge of the East Factory, is also in charge of the East Factory, and his affairs are busy, although in order not to lose his holy favor, Wang Chengen is willing to serve by Zhu Youxiao's side even if he is busy to death, but Zhu Youxiao still did not let him drive with him anymore.
These days, the focus is on the training of the Praetorian Guards, and Liu Ruyu, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, is in charge of the life and ideological work of the Praetorian Guards.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao let him drive with him, of course, to get rid of Liu Ruyu, Zhu Youxiao is still often accompanied by a reliable Jinyi guard, although these Jinyi guards who are responsible for Zhu Youxiao's safety and the Jinyi guards of Beizhen Fusi belong to Zhu Youxiao's pro-army, but these Jinyi guards are more responsible for the safety of His Majesty, and do not participate in special operations, and now they are also allocated by Zhu Youxiao to Liu Ruyu's direct jurisdiction, and there is a vague tendency to support Liu Ruyu and Wang Chengen to form a confrontation.
Now is the month of the examination, so there are many more people in the capital, especially young talents in their prime.
It just so happens that Zhu Youxiao can also take this opportunity to see what these future characters of the Ming Dynasty are looking like now.
Although it is the end of the dynasty, the capital has no signs of decay, the market is still prosperous, and the flow of people is still endless.
"Sell jujube flower cakes, delicious jujube flower cakes."
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss it when you pass by, the contemptible people have returned from the Western Regions to find a miracle medicine."
……
No matter how deceitful and treacherous the changes in the political situation of the imperial court were, even if countless officials were beheaded by Zhu Youzhen, there were countless officials who held important positions overnight.
It doesn't matter how powerful the outside construction is, how critical the people in the northwest are, and how rapid the development of the West is.
Even, who is the emperor who rules them, whether it is good or bad.
In the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, these have nothing to do with them, they have been running for a living, and they are carefully calculating for a few taels of silver, maybe they have been calm like this, which is their biggest political demand.
And the scholars led by Eguanbo are much more arrogant than these low-level people, although these are weak one by one, but they walk up and look at the sky, as if the world has been dominated by him at this moment.
Sometimes they sighed for a long time, and sometimes they sang a few poems that no one could understand but had no words.
There are always a few other attendants who will say hello and sing a few songs.
But the common people threw a look of disdain, waving the towels in their hands with all their might, for fear that these sour smells would affect their business.
Zhu Youxiao walked aimlessly on the street like this, seeing these classes that were opposed to each other as if they were two worlds, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little worried while laughing.
Generally speaking, when a ruling class becomes more and more indifferent to the ruled, the dynasty is not far from demise without radical change.
"Brother!"
At this moment, Zhu Youxiao saw a scholar dressed in an indigo straight shirt walking towards him.
However, this scholar did not greet him, but greeted a very thin scholar in a white robe behind him.
These two scholars didn't know that Zhu Youxiao was His Majesty today, because they saw that he was richly dressed, and there were several burly servants behind him, so they thought that he was also a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam.
The scholar who greeted him first bowed his hand to the brother called Xian, and then he bowed his hand to Zhu Youxiao and asked, "Who is this benevolent brother?" ”
"Zhu Ning", Zhu Youxiao had made corresponding preparations before leaving the palace, so when this scholar asked in time, he could also answer at any time.
After hearing this, this scholar meditated for a while, before entering Beijing, he had ordered someone to inquire about the situation of the provincial examination this time, and he really couldn't remember whether there was a powerful person named Zhu Ning in the scientific examination in Beijing, so he thought that Zhu Youxiao was just an ordinary person, not a strong competition for the provincial Xie Yuan or a first-class jinshi.
Therefore, this scholar did not talk to Zhu Youxiao anymore, but directly talked to the scholar he called "Brother Yanruo".
"Like a brother, I know that Mr. Fu has invited Li Zhongyun to have a small gathering in Qiongfanglou today, and now take this opportunity, why don't you and I also go to Qiongfanglou to visit this Li Zhongyun, after all, Li Zhongyun is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he has a good word, and when the time comes, it will reach the ears of His Majesty, but it is better than the ears of these singers, if he is lucky enough to enter the palace test, he will also have a chance to come out on top."
After the scholar smiled and said, he squinted at Zhu Youxiao, and said: "Li Zhongyun has always been good at Song Ci, especially Da Su, and it just so happens that the contemptible people have also prepared a few proud works here, and if you are a brother, you Dongpo monks are all Shu people, and they have always had deep insights with the words, maybe they can also enter Li Zhongyun's eyes when the time comes, but it is not known." ”
And Zhu Youxiao smiled when he heard these things about Mr. Fu and Li Zhongyun, according to the information provided by Dongchang, he already knew that this Mr. Fu was the leader of the scholars who entered Beijing to take the examination for the resumption of the society, and the leader of the second year of the Apocalypse.
And that Li Zhongyun is naturally Zuo Zhongyun and Li Mingrui, who were summoned into the Xinuan Pavilion by impeaching Wei Zhongxian at the beginning.
Hearing that these two were going to Li Mingrui to brush up their sense of existence, Zhu Youxiao was also a little interested for a while, he wanted to see how Li Mingrui got mixed up with the people of the Restoration Society.
"The two benevolent brothers are invited, I don't know where the two benevolent brothers are talking about Qiongfanglou, but the younger brother also wants to see Li Zhongyun's demeanor, and he has become two benevolent brothers."
Zhu Youxiao bowed his hand to the two of them in a dignified manner, and his words were deliberately respectful and polite.
"Another one who wants to climb the high branches, but he doesn't look at the ink in his belly", the gentleman's words were a little mean, and after saying a few words, he pulled the one called Brother Yanruo and walked forward.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyu couldn't help clenching his fists, and couldn't help scolding: "These scholars are really tails up to the sky, where is the brocade guard!" ”
"The subordinates are here!"
Seeing that His Majesty was ignored and ridiculed, several brocade guards in disguise also felt a little humiliated by the death of their ministers, and they gathered together in a low voice.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said coldly: "There is no need to be like this, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, go and inquire clearly, where is this Qiongfang Building, I must at least know who these two scholars are!" ”
