Chapter 5 Heart-to-heart

The first wind and rain drifted away

In May, the palace is full of flowers and the scenery is pleasant, but for those who have been waiting for more than two hours, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is a kind of torment.

The main reason is that Wang Chengen is too sincere and loyal to Emperor Chongzhen, and he heard that the emperor wanted to see someone last night, so he asked the eunuchs in the palace to call people before dawn.

In his heart, everyone has to revolve around the emperor.

However, even so, when he heard the banquet in the Qianqing Palace, Luo Yangxing, who had been waiting for a long time, was so excited that tears almost flowed out, and he walked lightly, and he was bitter!

I've been on the cold bench for years, and now it seems like the time has come to make a comeback.

Speaking of which, Luo Yangxing felt that he was the most aggrieved commander of the Jinyi Guard in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and there was no one.

It has only been more than two years in power, and the emperor has cut Jinyiwei and Dongchang at the suggestion of the courtiers.

After that, he had to be a man with his tail between his legs, and he regarded the courtiers of any party he saw as his grandson, lest they participate in a book and a catastrophe would come.

At this moment, the salted fish turned over, perhaps it was the true mentality of Luo Yangxing.

Although he knew that if the emperor used Jinyiwei again, it would be to let them be scapegoats, offend the courtiers everywhere, and alleviate the current predicament of the court.

Because, Jinyiwei is used by the royal family to do dirty work, and he has understood this truth since he took the position of his father Luo Sigong as the commander of Jinyiwei.

Of course, the final notoriety is also borne by him, but he has always had to pay if he wants to get ahead.

Seeking wealth and danger, he has been aggrieved for too long, too long......

Compared with Luo's complex mind, Gong Yonggu, the horse who walked beside him, walked calmly and elegantly with a smile on his face, and his heart was unwavering.

As the concubine of the Ming Dynasty, with the emperor's relatives on his head, he can only hold some false positions and receive a salary, so he can't have any ideas in politics.

Because of this, when he and Luo Yangxing entered the palace and finished their salutes, they heard Emperor Chongzhen ask them, I was ready to reopen the Jinyi Guard, what did the two Aiqing think, Gong Yonggu could no longer remain calm and calm.

This made his heart surging and his infinite fantasy.

Swinging a thousand waves in the wind, composing the undefeated blood of the youth.

This is the idea of every aspiring teenager, and Gong Yonggu is naturally no exception.

But the problem is that he can't be independent in his life, and he was arranged by his Lao Tzu when he was a teenager and became the husband of Princess Zhu Huiyuan of Le'an, that is, the Daming concubine.

Therefore, he could only study literature, accompany Emperor Chongzhen to hunt, make friends with talented people, and visit the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if you are unwilling, you have no choice but to accept your fate.

Therefore, when Luo Yangxing, who had been mentally prepared beside him, was so excited that he knelt down to thank the emperor, he still asked the emperor's uncle in disbelief stupidly, "Is it okay?" ”

"I said yes, then yes!"

On the dragon chair, Emperor Chongzhen, who was originally half-closed, replied domineeringly like a sword with a cold light out of its sheath.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang, like his eyes and ears, are the magic weapons for the country to get rich, and at the same time responsible for reconnaissance and arrest of hundreds of officials, which can be described as a sharp weapon of the country.

Think about it, can a country be finished without an intelligence service and a surveillance system?

Moreover, the appointment of officials at all levels of Jinyiwei, just like the 24 yamen of the inner court, is a family affair of the emperor, and no one is allowed to intervene.

In other words, Jinyiwei is the emperor's private organization and is directly responsible to the emperor.

They can directly rush into anyone's home and arrest anyone, including imperial relatives and high-ranking officials, without going through cumbersome procedures for handling cases.

However, the scope of Jinyiwei's torture was only aimed at officials and doctors, and generally did not interrogate and arrest ordinary people, and the criminal and civil cases of ordinary people were only handled through normal justice.

In fact, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, isn't Jinyiwei the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection who is alive!

Only for the officials, not for the people!

Genius, Comrade Zhu Chongba, the founder of Jinyiwei, really sees far, thinks deeply, and can't accept it!

"Weichen is willing to go to the soup to listen to the emperor's dispatch!"

received such a positive reply from Emperor Chongzhen, Gong Yonggu was not a pedantic person, and immediately shouted out his mind excitedly.

He is the brother-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen, the two are about the same age, they are usually very close, they know that it is not easy for their eldest brother, and they have long had the heart to contribute to the country.

Originally, the identity of the colt was a limitation, but now that the eldest brother can make up his mind, what else does he have to hesitate about?

It's just that when did this eldest brother of mine become so bold and domineering?

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, held his shoulders and praised him.

It was his expedient measure to enable Luo Yangxing, and his father was the commander of Jinyiwei, and he was familiar with Jinyiwei's business since he was a child.

Moreover, Jinyiwei has been laid off for five or six years, and the personnel are basically gone, and he must be re-recruited, and he is still inseparable from him.

But this guy is not a good bird, in history, Shun came to Shun, Qing came to Qing, how did you make Emperor Chongzhen trust him?

And a powerful spy agency like Jinyiwei must be in the hands of absolutely loyal and reliable people, and Gong Yonggu is such a candidate.

Speaking of which, there were many horses in the Ming Dynasty, but he was the only one.

Not only loyal, but also talented.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, seeing that the capital was not guaranteed, Gong Yonggu put forward a completely feasible suggestion to Emperor Chongzhen:

"It's better to move the capital to Nanjing as soon as possible, with my strength, there should be no problem in recruiting tens of thousands of people.

The southerners have always been very affectionate and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and they can think about it in the long run, and then try to revive! ”

The horse is actually a powerless and powerless prince, and those nobles who have received the grace of the country cannot be compared at all, Gong Yong's inherent ability to recruit tens of thousands of people, this ability is not available to everyone.

But Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what to think, looked left and right, hesitated, and did not follow the suggestion to move the capital.

Instead, he planned to let Gong Yonggu, Liu Wenbing and others protect the prince to Nanjing, but they missed the opportunity and were besieged in the city.

After the city was broken, Gong Yonggu searched for the prince and disappeared, wrote down the eight characters of "Receiving the grace of the country, duty cannot be humiliated", and then returned to his home to set himself on fire, and the whole family was martyred.

To such people. If Emperor Chongzhen, who has just crossed over, doesn't use it, it's a stupid hat.

Therefore, letting him enter Jinyiwei for a period of time is not only to train him, but also to whip Luo's temperament.

After the banquet, Emperor Chongzhen let Luo Yangxing take the lead out of the palace and reorganize the Jinyi Guard in the fastest time, but left Gong Yonggu alone.

The winter warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace is divided into two rooms, the front and back of the north and the south, and is divided by a partition fan.

After is the bedroom of Emperor Chongzhen, in front of which is the place where he works, commonly known as the imperial study, which is the most heavily guarded place in the Ming Palace.

At this moment, there were only Emperor Chongzhen and Gong Yonggu Junchen in the room.

The two sides sat down, and Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows and said to Gong Yonggu: "I recruited you into the palace today and awarded the position of commander of the Jinyi Guard, what do you think?" ”

Gong Yonggu took a deep breath, he knew that this was the Son of Heaven's questioning of politics, and it was also a test of his ability and thinking.

Leaning over slightly to show his respect, he thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "Wei Chen's quality is higher than that of Commander Luo, but his position is his subordinate, which undoubtedly makes him very uncomfortable.

In this way, within Jinyiwei, he must have some scruples in his actions, and he can't let go of his hands and feet, in the final analysis, the emperor still doesn't trust him. ”

"Not bad." Emperor Chongzhen nodded approvingly, with a smile on his face, and sure enough, he didn't look away, he was a talent, but it was buried.

"Jinyiwei has been deserted for many years, and I don't know Luo's ability to cultivate sex, even if it is loyal, it is difficult to know, how can I rest easy?

Originally, you were the best candidate for the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Yu Gong you are the imperial prince, Yu Private you are my brother-in-law, and you share weal and woe with the Ming Dynasty, and I can really feel at ease by handing over the Jinyi Guard to you.

However, you have no experience, and the personnel are not familiar with it, and the matter of reopening the brocade guard is imminent, otherwise the country will not be safe, so I can only do this helpless move. ”

In front of Gong Yonggu, a loyal and cheap brother-in-law, Emperor Chongzhen did not have the slightest reservation and said his true intentions in his heart.

Gong Yonggu was moved, the emperor's uncle's words can be said to be heartfelt, not everyone has this honor.

"Weichen must keep an eye on Luo's temperament, and at the same time familiarize himself with Jinyiwei as soon as possible, and share worries for the emperor."

"That's later!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, and said with a confident look of being forced to do so:

"I have appointed Wang Chengen as the director of Dongchang, and he will keep an eye on Luo Yangxing.

In addition to being familiar with the whole process of Jinyiwei, you now have to form your own team.

Don't worry about the dirty work of the detectives, let Luo Yangxing do it.

Now that there are more disputes in the world, and the prisoners and thieves are constantly making trouble, Jinyiwei's eyes cannot be limited to the courtiers and officials.

And to spread the eyeliner in the world, at present, it is mainly built and rogues, and then it will be deployed overseas.

Therefore, I plan for you to form an espionage department and a traitor department.

The former is the spying, infiltration, and assassination of prisoners and thieves. The latter guards against and corrects the prisoners and thieves in the Ming Dynasty, especially in Beijing. ”

For Emperor Chongzhen, Luo Yangxing is like a rag in his hand, which can be thrown away or washed and used when it is dirty.

The key is to see his performance.

"Wechen thank the emperor, and I must obey the holy order and live up to the emperor's heart to protect Wechen."

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Gong Yonggu got up and knelt on the ground, choked up, and thanked the emperor for his grace.

To tell the truth, Gong Yonggu joined Jinyiwei, somewhat with the tragic idea of bearing thousands of infamy.

But the words of the emperor's eldest brother made him feel ashamed, and at the same time, he saw that Jinyiwei had a promising new world, which was not the same as his undefeated and enthusiastic ambition to wave a thousand waves in the wind and compose a young man's undefeated blood?

A crisp sound of "bang" sounded in the imperial study, and Emperor Chongzhen snapped his fingers, which was a habitual action in his extremely high mood.

It seems that this effect is very good, and in just a few words, the huge man is moved like a girl, which completely exceeds his expectations.

But seeing Gong Yonggu's stunned eyes, he reacted inappropriately, not only did people have tears in their eyes, but the key was that they were kneeling?

Frivolous and out of shape, he smiled awkwardly, motioned Gong Yonggu to get up, hurriedly changed the topic and said:

"What I said is just a summary, a specific strategy, and you have to go back and think about it in detail.

In a word, I give it to you, and you will take it up. ”

"Yes, Wechen must have done his best to die! Wechen retired. ”

Having said this, it means that the assessment and conversation have ended, and Gong Yonggu said goodbye to the palace.

It's just that before leaving, the corner of his eyes swept Emperor Chongzhen, and it seemed that his eldest brother had become a little different.
