Chapter 16: Climbing Dragon Scales with Phoenix Wings (2)
"Here it is. Arrange guards on the opposite side, and don't let people live inside. ”
The prince finally spat out, which made Tian Cunshan breathe a sigh of relief. He followed the prince's gaze and suddenly found that this dressing room was indeed very eye-catching, not only was it an eyesore, but it made people want to tear it down quickly! Not to mention whether the discussion here can be heard there, just thinking about someone looking at the prince condescendingly is enough to make people unhappy.
- In case there is a man with ill intentions who wields a powerful crossbow......
Tian Cunshan flashed an even more terrifying thought in his mind, and hurriedly shook his head secretly and threw it out.
Zhu Cihong did not delay, and said: "It's already past noon, even if my father is entangled again, it is time for the Ming Decree to come down." Tian Cunshan, you go and inquire, and then come back to report to me. The books I often read in the East Palace are also brought out. ”
Tian Cunshan hurriedly responded to the order, explained to the accompanying eunuchs to serve well, and trotted away from the prince's sight.
Zhu Cihong said to Zhou Jing again: "Zhou Jing, two things. ”
"Obey orders." Zhou Jing hurriedly stepped forward to answer.
"First, the guards of the dive mansion should be deployed as soon as possible." Zhu Cihong said: "This place is bigger than Duanben Palace, and the manpower must be sufficient." ”
"There are ministers here, please rest assured, Your Highness." Zhou Jing hurriedly expressed his position, letting the prince know that he had confidence, determination, and ability to protect the safety of the prince of a country.
Zhu Cihong is a person who has the courage to walk in the plague area, how can he worry about the safety of his mansion? He had something to say, but Zhou Jing didn't understand it. It's no wonder that if you change to a thirty-year-old prince, Zhou Jing will inevitably have to dig hard. But now the prince is only fifteen years old, isn't this the age of one thing to say?
"How many men do you think you need?" Zhu Cihong had to guide Zhou Jing to think on the right path.
"I don't think it will be used much." Zhou Jing really didn't understand the prince's true intentions: "Although this place is bigger than Duanben Palace and outside the palace, it is surrounded by palaces, and the fire shops are dense, and ordinary people have been driven away before they get close." Seeing that the iron outside was not damaged, the minister painted it......"
"Zhou Jing." The prince screamed earnestly.
"Your Highness?" Zhou Jing asked blankly.
"The vassal king is in the country, and according to the ancestral system, there are 9,000 guards." Zhu Cihong reminded.
"Your Highness," Zhou Jing said with a smile, "that's because if the vassal king wants to stay away from the Jingshi, someone must defend him." And since Hongxi and Xuande, there are not so many people in the vassal king's guards. ”
Zhu Cihong raised his head and didn't want to speak. Seeing that Zhou Jing was so stupid, he couldn't say the second thing.
Song Hongye has been following cautiously beside him, and he can't help but look at Zhou Jing like an idiot. He secretly said in his heart: I was better than a monkey when I made money from the powerful, and now this person is pretending to be stupid? The prince is already clearly saying that he wants to expand his personal guards!
- I'm just an unruly official, although it is a world of difference from this East Palace guard, but if I don't step on him at this opportunity in front of me, how can I show my loyalty? The prince warned himself before, but avoid laziness, greed, and mediocrity! If you don't speak at this time, wouldn't you have confirmed the word "yong"? But...... If this Zhou Ye retaliates, how can I stop it?
Unconsciously, Song Hongye's heart beat like a drum, and his forehead was full of sweat.
- That's it! Vote for it!
Song Hongye secretly gritted his teeth, rolled his Adam's apple, moved forward, looked down at the ground, bowed his hand, and said humbly: "Your Highness, I am in the Division of Soldiers and Horses, and I often hear that there are snitches in the Beijing Division, and they are specially used to break through the empty door of the new palace of the palace. Now that His Royal Highness has come out, the pomp is not shown, and he is afraid that a thief will break in blindly. ”
"The palace has been vacant for so long, what is there to break into?" Zhou Jing disagreed.
"Hehe, master, you are a rich and noble person, how do you know that no matter how inconspicuous things are in this palace, moving out is enough for the small people to eat for ten days and a half?" Song Hongye said humbly, and raised Zhou Jing with his hand, which did not make this uncle feel harsh, but also had a faint sense of superiority.
"Zhou Qing must not let these thieves succeed." Zhu Cihong said coldly.
No matter how sluggish Zhou Jing was, he finally heard the prince's unkind tone, and he cried out in his heart: How did I offend you, my Chitose master!
"Your Royal Highness," Song Hongye said, "These thieves have all been trained since childhood, flying eaves and walls, drilling holes and diving, and there are so many tricks that I can't count them." As the saying goes, there is only one day to catch a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? The humble dare to ask His Royal Highness to build a wide range of guards, and set up banners all over the place to deter the small. When they knew that the prince was staying in the hidden mansion, they naturally didn't dare to have any crooked thoughts. ”
Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, as if carefully considering Song Hongye's suggestion, and said after a long time: "This is a method." ”
After Zhou Jing was beaten by the prince, he didn't dare to object, anyway, it was not him who paid for the additional manpower.
"Zhou Qing, what do you think?"
"Outside the palace is indeed not as good as inside the palace, what Song Hongye said is indeed not to be ignored." Zhou Jing said: "The minister must send additional guards to ensure that His Highness is safe." Zhou Jing still didn't understand.
Zhu Cihong has lost patience.
"This is still Shiwangfu Street, what about the outer city?" The prince said coldly: "Lone was ordered to help the epidemic in Beijing, and it is impossible to abandon the people of Guanxiang and suburban counties only within the nine gates. Moreover, whenever there is a catastrophe or a pandemic, and there are many chaotic reunions, as the chief of the East Palace guard, do you have any cases? ”
Zhou Jing was forced to ask by Zhu Cihong like this, and a stirring spirit was in his mind, and he finally realized that the prince mentioned the matter of the vassal king's guard before, not casually, but by nodding himself! Although the vassal king has three teams to escort 9,000 people, after Renxuan, there is only the beloved son of Emperor Wanli - King Fu sent 10,000 soldiers and horses when he became a vassal, and sent them to the place, and the team of men and horses came back, how dare anyone stay permanently?
Take 10,000 steps back and say, can a fifteen-year-old prince take it for granted that he will give it if he wants it?
Is it one of my own relatives who can put a beak?
"Your Royal Highness," Zhou Jing said stiffly, "The minister thinks that the son of a daughter can't sit down, and in those places, it's better for the minister to go down for His Highness." ”
"What is the purpose of being alone in the palace? Just make you run two steps less! Zhu Cihong's tone became more and more stern.
The prince always spoke in a suppressed voice, for fear that he would be in a period of voice change, and once he shouted loudly, he would break the sound. Now this suppressed voice fell on the ears of Zhou Jing and Song Hongye, which was tantamount to a thunderbolt. Zhou Jing was worried that he would lose the favor of the prince, but Song Hongye had read too many miscellaneous songs, especially "Three Kingdoms" and "Speaking of Tang", and Zhu Cihong's sincerity was made up in his mind: The prince is going to be in charge of the army!
- It's hard to be surrounded by a bunch of idiots.
Zhu Cihong couldn't wait to shout out loud, and after turning around in his mouth a few times, he finally endured it and said calmly: "In ancient times, loyal ministers had a saying: If the country lives and dies for profit, it is not because of misfortune and fortune to avoid it. What's more, Lone is a child of the heavenly family, if he can't take the lead, why watch his children be born and die in the wind and snow? Zhou Jing, you are the emperor, and it is inconvenient to talk about you in many things, but when it comes to being loyal to the country and doing your best for the world, you really have great things to improve. ”
Zhou Jing was in a cold sweat when he heard this. Although the prince said it politely, he said that he was incompetent and disloyal. How much criticism does this have to be for a courtier? The Zhou family made a fortune purely by the queen, and before the Zhou Hou was crowned, the Zhou family was a really lowly family, and Zhou Kui even had to live by telling fortunes on the street. Now that he is accused by the queen's sister-in-law, Zhou Jing is even more indescribably bitter in his heart.
"You clean up here, I'll summon the officials of the East Palace after I get up from a nap." Zhu Cihong finally let him go.
Zhou Jing obeyed the order, his lips squirmed slightly, and he mustered up the courage to ask, "Your Highness just said two things......
"That's it, you can't do it, I'll find someone else." Zhu Cihong walked with his hands in his hands and beckoned Song Hongye and said, "You come with me." ”
Song Hongye thought that the prince was going to take a nap, but when he saw the prince calling him, he was overjoyed: His Royal Highness the prince said that the rewards and punishments must be believed, and it is really resolute, is this going to give me benefits? As soon as I thought of this, the anxiety just now suddenly disappeared.
Zhu Cihong took Song Hongye out of the big garden and walked along the small road in the house, which was right to eat. Zhou Jing did not dare to disobey the prince's order, personally supervised the arrangement, and sent his henchmen to follow the prince's guards. The prince did not say much, nor did he go to the palace, but went into another garden.
There is no pond in this garden, but there is a rockery made of Taihu Lake stone, which is exquisitely clear, and the stone path that winds back and forth runs through it. With the stone steps climbing on it, there is also an octagonal pointed pavilion that stands in the air on the rockery. There is no positive ridge in the small pavilion, only the vertical ridge, as if the five fingers are together to make a bird peck, and the top is in the middle is the round ball of copper gilt, which is dazzling.
Zhu Cihong left the guards, took Song Hongye up the rockery, entered the pavilion, stopped and watched, took a long breath, and said, "How is this garden?" ”
As a scribe, Song Hongye has read some miscellaneous books. Although he can't blurt out like those talents, he can also drag a few words, and immediately touted: "The hidden mansion has the exquisiteness of the South Garden, and it does not lose the majesty of the North Garden. ”
"Even in the south, this garden is not a shame." Zhu Cihong had visited those famous gardens in his previous life, and compared the two, he also felt that Song Hongye was pertinent and objective. He stretched out his hand and patted the pillar, stirring up a thin layer of ash, and he didn't mind, just rubbed his hands and said to Song Hongye: "It's a pity that this garden has not lived for long." ”
- What does the prince mean?
Song Hongye was shocked: he wanted military power again, and said that he couldn't live in the palace for a long time, did he have the heart to win the championship! But this is too urgent, it's only fifteen years old......
"I see that you are a man of understanding and faithful, so let me speak to you directly." Zhu Cihong looked at the garden, but he didn't even look at Song Hongye, and he didn't know that the little scribe was already frightened. He said: "The mediocre people in the court are like carps crossing the river, and now someone has impeached the Qin Governor Sun Chuanting, but they don't know that this is self-destruction of the city!" Once Sun Chuanting does not exist, the fall of Beijing will be just around the corner. ”
Compared to plotting to seize the throne, making a pessimistic prediction is not a matter at all. Song Hongye gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. He said: "Your Highness doesn't need to be pessimistic, I think there are also discerning people among the courtiers, and they will not let those mediocre ministers succeed." ”
Zhu Cihong shook his head: "Even if there are clear-eyed people in the court, it is no longer useful. Now that the country has rotted from the top to the roots, capable ministers like Li Banghua have also lost their sharpness. Among the border ministers, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and the like are all handsome ministers, but the death of the dead, the rebellion of the rebellion, and no one can take charge of the minister. Famous generals such as Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Man Gui, He Kegang, Zhao Shujiao...... They are all gone. Hmph, look at the generals now, who really takes the emperor in their eyes. ”
Only the emperor and the crown prince can say these words, and anyone else will inevitably be beaten with a stick.
Song Hongye bowed behind and didn't dare to speak.
