Later generations have most of the impression of Jinyiwei as a secret agency, especially the notorious edict, which is like the abyss of hell in real Shijie. In fact, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, Jinyiwei's functions are too large. It is divided into two town and fu divisions in the north and south, from the security of the Beijing Division, the appearance of the city, the communication sewers, to the secret investigation of evil spirits, the guard of heaven, and the guard of honor, all of which are under the control of Jinyi Guard.

Among them, one of the most important functions of the Nanzhen Fusi is to select Han generals.

These Han generals have to be loyal and good, burly, look like King Kong, and have a loud voice, no matter who they are, they must sigh when they see it: Huangming is really the Great Heavenly Empire!

Their main task is to be fully armored, hold a guard of honor, and serve as a good background.

Zhu Cihong had the idea of training these people as guards in the East Palace, but soon found that he was really naïve. Don't look at these Han generals just standing guard and putting on a show, but they are all rich and noble children with constant production, otherwise it would not be their turn to eat this bowl of rice.

It's okay for these people to put on a show, but if you really want them to undergo military training, it's more difficult than killing them. Not only did they complain about hardship, but they even pretended to be sick and evaded service. If Zhu Cihong really dared to attack these lords, not only would the court not be able to let him go, but even his parents would probably have to consider changing the crown prince.

At that time, Emperor Shenzong occasionally got drunk, scolded the two chamberlains, cut off their hair, and was punished to go to the Taimiao to kneel for incense, and the Empress Dowager Li even said that she wanted to abolish the emperor Lilu Wang. Zhu Cihong was not sure where his parents' bottom line was at that time, and even if these people were suppressed, it was a little creepy to think about it.

"You were talking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now?" The strong man shouted angrily.

Li Mingrui and Li Banghua were really frightened!

Li Banghua was the old minister who had supervised the Beijing camp in the end, and the first thing he reacted to was that his daily qi cultivation kung fu made him take a sip of the teacup, and asked slowly: "Who are you?" ”

"Jin Yiwei!" The strong man showed off the gold medal of the shell-like brocade guard, and when the two of them saw it clearly, he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned, the two of you will go over." ”

This strong man's commanding attitude stimulated Li Mingrui heavily, but Jinyiwei is different from the ordinary military attache system, it is a direct and pro-guard, independent country. No matter how big the civil official Shili is, it is impossible to bully the head of Jinyiwei.

Li Mingrui shook his sleeves and stood up, and said, "Do you just say that I am a fat sheep who is blackmailed by you!" I might as well tell you that this official is Li Mingrui, the left Zhongyun of Zhan Shifu! Not to mention that it is impossible for the prince to leave the palace, even if the prince is really here, he can't call the official and come and go! ”

Li Mingrui and Li Banghua only thought that they had encountered a ruffian who came to extort the rich, but they didn't expect that this person really came on the orders of the prince. Originally, there were some unfashionable Jinyi guards in Beijing, relying on a waist card to extort money everywhere. Many ill-informed rural wealthy, many of them are middle-class, and it is not uncommon for them to be killed and their families are ruined.

In this era, there was no such thing as sound insulation, and the private rooms in the restaurant were only separated by a thin layer of wooden planks. A restaurant like Hao Zai that is willing to build a wall bottom and paint a layer of lime is already very luxurious. Even so, it can't stop Li Mingrui's "bold words".

Zhu Cihong knew that if he didn't take the initiative again, the madman didn't know what to say, and said, "Zhou Jing, you go and tell him, I sincerely invite." ”

Zhou Jing, as a guard of the East Palace, accompanied the prince when he was lecturing, and met Li Mingrui a few times. Although he had never said hello or spoken, this face was still familiar after all. He bowed and saluted, and took the command.

After a while, there was silence in the next room, as if no one was there, and then there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

The moment Li Mingrui saw Zhou Jing, he knew that he had lost his words. No matter how bold the guards of the East Palace were, they didn't dare to swagger and deceive outside under the banner of the prince. No matter how much resentment they make outside, as long as they don't die, the prince will ascend to the pole in the future, and there will always be a chance to turn over. However, if the prince is dragged into the muddy concrete pool, it will really be self-inflicted.

Zhu Cihong watched the two ministers standing in front of him, struggling to maintain his composure, and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. However, this smile did not show the slightest expression on his face, he still had a look of pursed lips and serious eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Prince......" Li Mingrui saluted and was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Cihong stretching out his hand. He just said bad things about the prince behind his back, and his heart was empty, and he swallowed the words that asked the prince how to get out of the palace.

This Ming prince is not a good match, and when he saw Li Mingrui open his mouth, he knew that there were a lot of bitter words waiting for him behind him. He stopped Li Mingrui's words and asked coldly, "Is Mr. Li resting today?" ”

Li Mingrui's head twitched, and cold sweat suddenly dripped down, and a long "uh" sound came out of his throat.

"Since it's not a day off, Mr. should go back to the yamen quickly." Zhu Cihong waved his hand.

Li Mingrui first said bad things about the prince behind his back, which is immoral. was caught by the prince going to work and going out to eat, which is a loss of work. Deneng lost two of the four assessments, and if you let the imperial history know, an impeachment is absolutely indispensable. At this time, I was worried, where could I still take care of the difference, and when I heard that the prince asked him to go, I had to bow and retreat. Sure enough, if it is called, it will come and it will be sworn.

Zhu Cihong let out a breath from his nostrils, and when Li Mingrui came out of the private room, he said to Li Banghua: "Xiantai, please take a seat." ”

"The minister is terrified." Li Banghua hurriedly excused himself.

"Xiantai is a meritorious minister, even in front of his father Bixia." Zhu Cihong knew that this was a procedure for the literati to express humility, not that he really did not want to sit. Li Banghua is nearly seventy years old, if he is asked to stand and ask the right question, he will not be able to say that a group of people will poke his backbone afterwards.

"Thank you." Li Banghua sat down on the chair opposite the prince, as if only half of his buttocks were touched.

"Sit widely." Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "I will visit in micro-service, and I can be a junior when I am a student." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince is said to be benevolent, and it is not a lie." Li Banghua was more comfortable at this time, and gave him a high hat casually.

"The benevolent one, I'm afraid it's a nickname for 'cowardice'." Zhu Cihong didn't care about this reputation, and said: "I'm in the East Palace, and I just obey all the gentlemen and teachers, I'm afraid they will misunderstand." ”

Li Banghua was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this would be understood by the prince, and he was about to argue, but he heard the prince say: "If I come out with some prestige, Li Mingrui will not dare to say that I am not doing anything behind my back." ”

"As a speech official, Li Mingrui should be impeached for the crime of being careless in his words and deeds!" Li Banghua immediately expressed his position, but he also protected Li Mingrui from being accused of "great disrespect".

"If he says this in front of others, and I hear it, I will have to sue the emperor! Even if I am unbearable, I am also the capital of the East Palace, and I will discuss the king with the ministers, and the following is not the top, is this the way of the outline? Zhu Cihong said casually, and swept away Li Banghua's cover at all.

"Your Royal Highness, Li Mingrui is a person, and the minister knows ......"

Zhu Cihong grabbed the conversation and continued: "But if he is with Xiantai, I will not punish him." The so-called things gather by like, and people are divided by groups, and I think he is still reliable in the big festival. ”

Li Banghua bowed and said, "Your Highness has a good reputation. "But my heart has been up and down, tired and exhausted.

- This is even harder than the face saint!

Li Banghua was secretly bitter in his heart.

"I have also heard a little about the matter of the Xiantai Governor Jingying, but at this point in the state affairs, although the Xiantai has the great power to turn the tide, it is difficult to support the generals of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Cihong sighed.

Admiral Jingying, prospering and eliminating disadvantages, this is an important milestone in Li Banghua's career, and it is also a proud event in his life. However, at this moment, Li Banghua exclaimed in his heart: Daming is not dead! Even the prince can't say this! He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, although it is now the autumn of rise and fall, there are still loyal ministers and people who are serving in front of you!" Your Highness must not feel sorry for himself and lose his fighting spirit. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled heartily.

If he had lost his fighting spirit, I am afraid that he would have committed suicide in the past fifteen years. Even if the will is a little weaker, it is inevitable that he will go insane step by step towards the abyss of destruction over the years. However, he still stood with his waist straight and stood in the capital division, and he still did not give up a glimmer of hope at the juncture of only nine months of Zuihou.

"That's what Xiantai said." Zhu Cihong casually echoed and said, "What was Xiantai discussing with Li Mingrui before?" ”

Li Banghua has been in the sea for a long time, and he is about to become a person, and he doesn't care about being accused of "privately forming a party". Seeing that this prince is not weak and ignorant, let alone "less and no more things", Li Banghua simply said bluntly: "Your Highness, the ministers are discussing the affairs of the south. ”

"South? How did you get involved with me? ”

"Li Mingrui intends to invite the saint to Nanxing." Li Banghua replied simply and clearly. This is exactly the habit cultivated by officialdom, often only one sentence, whether you can understand it depends on the listener's understanding. Therefore, the officials of the Ming Dynasty must have a high level of understanding, otherwise there is no future.

Zhu Cihong doesn't mind this kind of officialdom habit, which is no different from Vanity Fair four or five hundred years later.

"The establishment of the capital was originally to have a way out when the capital could not be defended." Zhu Cihong said: "The so-called advance and retreat are appropriate, the way of the art of war." It is really unwise to blindly trap the Beijing Division. ”

Li Banghua lowered his head slightly, as if he was listening to the instructions, but his heart was overturned, and he secretly regretted Li Mingrui: This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only not a little more important, but it can be said that he has made a wise decision. As an official of the East Palace, he is close to the water, and he has a lot of contacts, but he doesn't even have this little bit of water!
