Chapter 9: The Secret Room

"Yes, Your Highness." Wan'er flew away and quickly took back a cup of warm tea. At the same time, she cast a glimmer of light at Zhu Youzhen, warm but suspicious, as if she was worried and encouraged.

Zhu Youzhen didn't bother to pay attention to Wan'er's mood now, he took a sip of tea and cleared his throat:

"Arrogant in the face of thousands of waves, hot blood like the red sun, courage like iron and bones such as steel, mind hundreds of thousands of miles long, I work hard, be a good man, be a good man every day to self-improvement, hot-blooded men are more light than the sun, let the sea and sky gather energy for me, to open the world for my ideals to break through, look at the blue waves high, and see the blue sky is vast and majestic, I am a man when self-improvement, strong steps to be a pillar, do a good man, use my hundred points of heat to shine a thousand points of light, be a good man, hot blood and hot intestines, more light than the sun!"

At the end of the song, everyone was shocked, and the aftermath lingered, and the birds were silent.

Wan'er was moved to tears, her eyelashes blinked, as if crying and laughing. What's wrong with this, Lord Wang? I've never seen him write lyrics and compose music, how can he compose such an imposing and impactful tune? She is Zhu Youzhen's personal palace maid, that is, the folk call the girl in the room, she has no choice, fate is destined for her life, can only be pinned on Zhu Youzhen's body, and now Zhu Youzhen's table xiàn comes out fresh and masculine, which makes her fascinated and dreamy...... Zhu Youxiao finally woke up from the silence, "It's a good sentence to open up the world and break through for my ideals." "The Ming Emperor was weak and died young, except for Taizu Chengzu, he never had the ambition to open up the territory. The passionate melody, lofty ideals, and soaring fighting spirit, even the emperor, who has always only liked wooden zuò, was infected; Zhang Yan was even more surprised and couldn't close her mouth, completely forgetting the queen's etiquette, "The courage is like iron and bones are like steel." "Living in the palace, facing either palace maids or eunuchs all day long, nature worships power and beauty, she really doesn't understand, how can Zhu Youzhen, who has always been weak and timid, write such strong long and short sentences? Did you misread him? Or did Zhu Youzhen grow up? Although the lyrics of the song are a bit empty, like shouting slogans, this is exactly in line with Zhu Youzhen's identity as a minor.

"Brother Huang, what are you going to do when you grow up? You're not going to sing on the streets, are you? The agitated heart gradually calmed down, and the heartbeat returned to a normal level, Zhang Yan no longer dared to underestimate Zhu Youzhen, just like a mother, she was proud and satisfied when she saw her child's brilliance, but Zhu Youzhen was not her own child after all, and she didn't forget to tease.

"Barracks. Imperial sister-in-law, if 10,000 people sang in unison, how shocking would it be? Zhu Youzhen naturally couldn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the barracks.

"Barracks? What did the fifth brother do in the barracks? "Zhu Youxiao has never had the ambition to open up the territory, and Zhu Youzhen's singing just now only brought him a short period of excitement, and he still likes to study wood in the palace.

"Brother Huang, the courtier's body is weak, and he almost fell off his horse...... Therefore, the younger brother wanted to go to the barracks, train with the soldiers, and train his body well. Zhu Youzhen was nervous, and he didn't know if his reasons could move Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, since the fifth brother is willing, let him go!" Zhang Yan spoke in the interval between Zhu Youxiao's thoughts. With Zhu Youzhen's current mentality, she doesn't believe that Zhu Youzhen is purely for exercise. If Zhu Youzhen can control a certain army in the future and form a force, maybe it can be used against Wei Zhongxian. She was tired of dealing with the Kewei party alone. There was no shortage of people in the court who wanted to deal with Wei Zhongxian, but she was the empress and could not get in touch with them and form an alliance. Zhu Youzhen is the prince, if he loses to Wei Zhongxian, there is no loss, it's a big deal to pat his ass and go to the fiefdom, if Wei Zhongxian loses, he will never be able to turn over without a foundation.

"Haha, the queen has spoken for you, if I don't agree, I will be even more stingy than the queen." Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhu Youzhen, "However, don't be bitter when the fifth brother is in the barracks, if you can't do it, you will come back." I'll let Zhongxian arrange it when I go back. ”

There are three major military camps in the Beijing Division: the Fifth Military Battalion, the 3,000 Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion.

The five military camps are ordinary military camps, with both horses and infantry troops, especially known for their formations; The cavalry composed of 3,000 battalions of mainly Mongolian and other frontier peoples and their descendants is equivalent to mercenaries with limited loyalty, mainly patrols; The Shenji battalion is a firearms battalion, but the firearms of the Ming army are not powerful enough, mainly the auxiliary soldiers of the Mabu army, fighting the front station, and deterring the backward nationalities with their voices.

Zhu Youzhen naturally chose the five military camps.

The current five military battalions, although they retain the title of the Hongwu period, have undergone great changes, especially after the "Tumubao Change" and the heavy losses of the Beijing army, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, carried out rectification and organized it into 12 battalions, also known as "12 regiment battalions".

The whole army has left and right governors, who are in charge of the training of soldiers in peacetime, and the secretary of the military department is the governor in name and is the nominal commander-in-chief, and the minister is the supervisor of the army, which is the actual commander-in-chief. There are 12 battalions: Fen, Yao, Lian, and Xian; Dare, fruitful, effective, and drum four brave battalions; Stand, stretch, raise and vibrate the four power camps. Each battalion consisted of 9,600 men.

…………

In the secret room of the Wei Mansion, Wei Zhongxian was summoning Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"Ergeng, which commander of the five military camps is our man?"

"Back to 9,000 years old, his subordinates are incompetent, and the five military battalions have no command envoy to be our people." The eunuch party has an overwhelming advantage in the cabinet and the six ministries, but the army, the eunuch party can not control it, whether it is the Jingshi army or the border army of the nine-border town, there are no senior generals of the eunuch party, although Tian Ergeng has been wooed, but there is no effect, at most some generals are on the sidelines, and no one has really thrown themselves into the arms of the eunuch party.

Wei Zhongxian was also a little frustrated, "King Xin wants to enter the military camp, where do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Tian Ergeng thought for a while, "Nine thousand years old, Qin Yongnian, the commander of the Fenwu Battalion, has a strange temper and has always refused to serve the powerful. If King Xin entered the Fenwu camp, with his delicate status, he would definitely not get along with Qin Yongnian, and at that time, he would have to leave the barracks. ”

"Well, let's fight for it." Although Wei Zhongxian hated Zhu Youzhen to death, this was Zhu Youxiao's order, and he didn't dare to disobey it. Not only did he not dare to disobey, but he also pretended to die after doing his best.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen did not offend Wei Zhongxian, but Zhu Youxiao liked this young brother very much, which made Wei Zhongxian very jealous, he was Zhu Youxiao's most trusted person, and he could not tolerate Zhu Youxiao's trust in others. Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, and a person without roots has no foundation, and all his power comes from Zhu Youxiao's trust. Coupled with his old rival Zhang Yan, who is now Zhu Youzhen's de facto guardian, makes him hate Zhu Youzhen even more.

"Nine thousand years old, do you want to implement the second plan?" Tian Ergeng excitedly waited for Wei Zhongxian's response, the last time the horse hit Zhu Youzhen, it was all made up by the eunuchs, if it succeeded, he Tian Ergeng did not have any credit, if the second set of plans was implemented, it was all his credit.

"Honestly, Ergeng, how sure are you?" Wei Zhongxian didn't look at Tian Ergeng, but at the white wall. He really didn't want Tian Ergeng to say anything that would disappoint him again.

"Ninety percent. Nine thousand years old, according to the humble position, King Xin never went out with a guard, and the humble position planned to send Tang Cheng, one of the five masters of the Jinyi Guard, to make a move. Although Tang Cheng's martial arts are not the highest, he is cautious, experienced and steady, and we are in the dark, so we are sure that nothing goes wrong. "Tian Ergeng's level is higher than Wei Zhongxian, the commander of Jinyiwei is the third grade, and Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang Admiral is only from the fourth grade. But Wei Zhongxian is the first celebrity in front of the emperor and the uncrowned king of the Ming court, besides, the position of Tian Ergeng's commander of Jinyiwei is still helped by Wei Zhongxian, and he and Jinyiwei's commander Xu Xianchun have long been thrown into Wei Zhongxian's door and are Wei Zhongxian's right-hand man.

Wei Zhongxian turned around, glanced at Tian Ergeng, and found that he didn't look like he was lying: "Then so be it!" However, don't do it in the barracks, where there are a lot of people. In addition, if it is done cleanly, our family can hide in front of the emperor. ”

"Yes, nine thousand years old. Humble duty will not disappoint the nine thousand years old. Tian Ergeng no longer has to hide his pride, if this matter is successful, his position in front of Wei Zhongxian will be even more consolidated, and Xu Xianchun will no longer have to spy on his position as a commander.
