Ten miles west of Beiping City, a brightly lit valley with lush trees above it, and a team of nearly 200 people was crawling in the dirt.

In March, the climate was still a little cold, and although those men were all strong men, they were still blue in the cold mud.

Except for a lame man on the shore, all the people in the pool were covered with mud, and the clothes on their bodies were no longer visible.

These people are the fresh blood who have only been in Jinyi Weidong's room for a few days.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and after a while, a handsome young man in a black suit arrived at the edge of the quagmire.

Jiang Wei, who was lame, walked over quickly, and immediately after the young man dismounted, his brows immediately furrowed: "Why did Xiaoqi train with them?" You don't stop it, he hasn't fully recovered yet. ”

Jiang Wei said with a bitter face: "I can't help it, Xiaoqi said that he wanted to mingle with his subordinates, and ordered me not to persuade much." ”

The people who were fighting in the mire had long since noticed the arrival of the young man, and all that sounded in their ears was the roar of robes.

Zhang Ru's face was covered with mud, grabbed the placket of a brocade guard and threw it out, wiped a handful of mud on his face, grinned, and showed a neat row of big white teeth: "Come on, come on, what's wrong with not eating, I'm down Lao Tzu, tonight Lao Tzu invites you to go to Chunguilou to eat." ”

These young people are all hot-blooded, and several of them can't beat Zhang Ru, who is younger than themselves, and their eyes are round, and they rush towards Zhang Ru with their fists.

I saw Zhang Ru walking on the ground in the quagmire, his body was as flexible as a loach, and often those brocade guards with deep mud feet were kicked by his big feet before they pulled out their feet, and then fell into the mud.

The black-clothed young man on the shore shook his head and smiled bitterly, and jumped into the quagmire without even taking off his clothes.

This person is none other than Mu Bin, who was sent by Zhang Ru to do errands. According to Zhang Ru's words, you will be my right-hand man in the future, and there is no need to participate in this kind of activity that sharpens people's minds.

But Mu Bin knows that the cohesion of these people is improving little by little, and everyone is getting used to Zhang Ru as the core. If you are free from the surroundings, then these people will never give themselves a good face in the future

A person suddenly jumped down on the shore, Zhang Ru hit without saying a word, and his slippery fist hit Mu Bin's jaw, saying that he was dizzy.

He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, he was immediately taken advantage of by the other two people and crushed in the mud.

Mu Bin, who had just come down and ate a mouthful of mud, got up and saw Zhang Ru having a lot of fun, and he also let go of his mind and joined the playful team.

After a fight, everyone lay exhausted in the mud, and before they could lie down for long, they were kicked up by Zhang Ru one by one and called to the shore to clean.

The steaming ginger soup and spirits had already been prepared, and the attentive Jiang Wei had also lit a fire to warm up a group of hungry and cold Jinyi Wei.

After recovering a little bit of vitality, the Jinyi guards, who had lost their strangeness to Zhang Ru after getting along for a few days, began to discuss, and finally recommended the bold Wang Zhou to come forward and ask.

Wang Zhou opened his mouth several times and didn't say anything, just stood quietly behind Zhang Ru, and Mu Bin saw it and asked, "What's wrong Wang Zhou?" ”

When Zhang Ru heard this, he turned around and saw Wang Zhou standing behind him, so he pulled him to the fire and sat down, patted him up and down to make sure he was not injured, and then asked, "But what do you have to say?" ”

Wang Zhou snorted: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just... It's just..."

Zhang Ru scolded with a smile: "If you have something to say, you can let it go, I am not the Beizhen Fusi here, nor are I other yamen, I hope that the brother has one to say and two to say." ”

Wang Zhou took a breath and said, "It's the brothers who asked me to ask, what is the purpose of the adults letting us crawl in the quagmire every day." Many brothers feel that it will not do us any good to do us this way. ”

"Isn't it good to have fun, and to have a lot of money every day?" Zhang Ru said lightly.

"Not good!" Wang Zhou said loudly: "If we were greedy for pleasure, we would not be invited to come to the East Division, if the adults just wanted to bring out a group of gentlemen, then those people in the Eastern Divisional Room were easier to lead than us before." ”

Zhang Ru smiled happily: "I'm very happy that you can think so." I asked you to do this, and naturally there is a reason for me to ask you to do this, but you have only been training for a few days now, and you can't see anything. After a while, if by that time you still feel like we're taking you every day just to play, you can leave at any time. ”

Wang Zhou nodded as if he didn't understand, and then immediately told the others.

For dinner, the meat is all game from the mountains, and the vegetarian food is also from the wild vegetables in the mountains. Of course, these were all done by those soldiers themselves, and Zhang Ru had already made it clear before coming here that everything depended on them when they arrived here.

After dinner, I rested for half an hour, and immediately continued to devote myself to intense training, but this time I did not crawl in the mud, but went up the mountain to pick a big tree and beat it hard.

Nearly 200 people hit trees on a mountain, and the sound was not small, but fortunately it was a barren mountain here, and there was no fear of people complaining about disturbing the people.

The soldiers still didn't know what kind of medicine Zhang Ru was selling in the gourd, but no matter what he did, Zhang Ru would take the lead, and these soldiers did not propose to leave except to express their dissatisfaction in private.

In the first few days, everyone was a little uncomfortable, and in order to know what Zhang Ru's intentions were, they endured it.

After the training lasted for a while, everyone had become accustomed to this kind of life, and the voices of dissatisfaction disappeared a lot, but there were still some people who were puzzled.

Several inquiries were pushed away by Zhang Ru's Tai Chi Kung Fu, and these young people simply stopped asking.

Every morning there will be a spectacle in Beiping City, that is, two hundred men carrying huge trees and wearing tattered clothes will run around the city wall on time.

Those people came and went like the wind, a roar coming from deep in their throats after every breath. They don't stop, they keep running at a pace until they are exhausted.

The wood on their shoulders grew larger and heavier, and the burden on their bodies grew heavier and heavier, but the speed of those people remained maintained.

The thick bowl-mouthed trees in the West Mountain have been broken a lot, and the Dongsi Fang Jinyi Guard, who trained in the canyon, has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

At least, the current Jinyiwei is not as scattered as before, they have learned to hold together and support each other. This is what Zhang Ru has been instilling in them for a month.

The wild beasts of the South and West Mountains have all been killed, from tigers to rabbits, and they have all become the food on the plate of these barbarians, and as long as they are cooked, they can enter their stomachs.

The woodcutters were able to collect firewood on the road every day without difficulty, and they were full of praise for these people, but the merchants who came and went hated them, because wherever they passed, they would always kick up dust and make the merchants in fancy clothes disgraced.

All the changes that happened in the East Division's room had documents on Zhu Jianshen's desk every day, so Zhu Jianshen didn't pay attention to all this.

On this day, the sun was shining, and Zhu Jianshen was in a rare good mood, so he asked Li Zi Province about alchemy, but Li Zi Province said that there was no silver money in the inner treasury now, and he couldn't do alchemy.

Zhu Jianshen said angrily: "I have earned millions of taels in the Ming Dynasty, and the inner treasury has accumulated for many years, why is there no money!" ”

This was not said to Li Zixing, but to Wei Xing, who was standing on the side.

The inner library has always been managed by Liang Fang, the eunuch of the palm seal, but Liang Fang is not only the supervisor of the Dongchang factory, but also the eunuch of the palm seal, and there are too many things, so the specific affairs of the inner library have always been managed by the eunuch Wei Xing.

Wei Xing was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and his eyes for help were thrown towards Liang Fang, there was no money in the inner treasury, and Zhu Jianshen often spent money on alchemy, and the other part was because he and Liang Fang were greedy for ink.

Liang Fang's heart was not good, if he didn't stand up for Wei Xing at this time, he was afraid that Wei Xing would not be so easy to control in the future, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter..."

Zhu Jianshen glanced at him: "You don't have to speak, let him speak." ”

Wei Xing knelt on the ground with a puff: "Your Majesty spares your life, the slave maid is blinded by black oil, and she is greedy for the silver money in the inner treasury, begging Your Majesty to spare your life." ”

Seeing him admit it, Zhu Jianshen's anger subsided slightly: "Who gave you the courage to dare to be greedy for ink even the silver money of my inner treasury." ”

Wei Xing raised his eyelids and looked at Liang Fang, then lowered his head and thought about it.

Suddenly, the most suitable person appeared in his mind, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this matter is... It was made by the prince and the slave. ”

Zhu Jianshen's brows were twisted into a knot: "Prince? If he wants money, he can tell me, why do you want to borrow your hand to be greedy for money in the inner treasury, is he going to rebel? ”

The throne was not easy to come by, and Emperor Chenghua, who had suffered from wind and frost since he was a child, was very dark in his heart. Born in the royal family, he saw a lot of scenes of brothers killing each other, father and son killing each other.

So when Wei Xing said that he was instructed by the crown prince Zhu Youjiao, he instinctively thought that the prince might want to seek to usurp the throne.

Poor Zhu Youzhu didn't even know what was going on, so he was labeled as a rebel by his father.

Zhu Jianshen didn't say anything, and glanced at Liang Fang: "It's really up to you and you to hide it, I don't blame it, and future generations will definitely be held accountable." Someone comes, pull Wei Xing down, and the weight is twenty rods. ”

Wei Xing didn't dare to beg for mercy, and quietly let the two palace guards pull him away.

But this incident made Liang Fang have a heart, and after Wei Xing's execution, he immediately went to ask what Wei Xing meant.

Wei Xing said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and will not hold us accountable, but what about the prince?" Once the crown prince succeeds to the throne, you and I are in danger! ”

"But do you really dare to offend Zhang Ru's evil star?" Liang Fang still has hidden concerns.

Wei Xing said coldly: "Without the protection of the prince, what kind of wind and waves can he toss." Liang Gong is majestic, and he shouldn't want to end up with a miserable night! ”

Liang Fang said: "Your Majesty may not offend the prince because of your words, as long as Your Majesty asks, the flaws will be revealed immediately." ”

Wei Xing said lightly: "I don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own plan." ”

The sensitive Liang Fang immediately realized that there was something wrong with Wei Xing's speech today, and he completely lost his respect for himself in the past, it seems that this Wei Xing has found a good backer.

He nodded quietly: "Okay! Hopefully we can succeed. ”
