Among the Great Zhou Wuxun, there are two intelligence systems.

One is the brocade guard established in imitation of the previous Ming dynasty, and the other is the dragon guard.

Among them, this dragon guard was established by the Emperor Taishang, and it was originally to balance the Jinyi Guard.

About five or six years ago, this dragon guard was handed over to Jinshang, who was still the prince at the time, so this dragon guard became the most important institution of Emperor Xiaode.

And this brocade guard has been controlled by Prince Zhongyi until Prince Zhongyi was imprisoned with Prince Yizhong, and then it was placed in the hands of the emperor.

It's just that this Prince Zhongyi has a lot of clear streams in his hands, so he has also got a lot of big words into Jinyiwei.

Now this Jinyi Wei is called Cui Qiushan, he is the son of Jinyi Wei Wuxun, his grandfather and father have been Jinyi Wei Qianhu, after Emperor Xiaode mastered Jinyi Wei, after removing the original capital commander from his post and investigating it, he had the intention to promote himself as the commander of the capital, but the Emperor Taishang intervened at this time.

After a battle, he, the meritorious son of the Jinyi Guard, got a bargain and became the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

This position is different from others, no matter who is in power above, it is always necessary to let people who are trustworthy come over, Cui Qiushan and no one are considerate, so in the eyes of those who have a heart, he is afraid that he will not be able to do this position for a long time.

Just when Lin Zhao and Daiyu were discussing poetry, the sun had already set, and the door of the mansion where Jinyi Wei commanded Cui Qiushan had been closed, and in the Cui family's study, Cui Qiushan walked around the room irritably, but there were several scribes sitting on the seats next to him.

You must know that Jinyi Wei is a military general, and the Great Zhou Dynasty and the previous dynasties have no Liaoyang, this literacy rate is very small, except for those big families, there are too few small families who are willing to send their babies to study.

Most of these brocade guards are children of poor families, and there are a few who can read and write, not to mention any study, the so-called study is just a relatively secret place of discussion.

Cui Qiushan walked a few steps, stopped and looked at a scribe sitting there, seeing the scribe's calm expression, Cui Qiushan sneered:

"It's a stroke of luck that I was able to sit in this position, if it wasn't me, it would be someone else. Your Majesty has now promoted that Lin Zhao to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, even if he wants to be the commander of the capital, it is also with an eye on the future, have you seen a few children under the age of twenty serving as high-ranking officials? Now that he has not yet faced the saint, you want to get him down, what kind of heart do you have? Do you know how much risk there is in this? In addition, you have hands and eyes to the sky, and you can still put your hand into the Rongguo Mansion and influence the mind of the wife of the family, it is really audacious!"

After Cui Qiushan finished speaking, several scribes exchanged glances, and the scribe in front of Cui Qiushan smiled and said:

"The proprietor is really a loyal person, and it's no wonder that he can do this position, don't worry, the housework in the deep house can't be pulled on the proprietor's body, that Rongguo Mansion is like a sieve, and no news can be hidden, the mind of the wife, you can guess the ** is not far from ten just by listening to it on the street, and no one can see it if you do some tricks and feet, the proprietor doesn't have to worry!?"

A person on the side said:

"You guys are too underestimate Lin Zhao, how big the scene of Yangzhou salt merchants is, how deep the power behind them, but what, Lin Zhao kneaded them like dough, did they do anything at all? Now seeing that Lin Zhao pushed his father to the position of governor of Shandong, he will definitely enter the cabinet in the future, if you know about this, what consequences can you and the people behind you have?

He has such a nature and skill, you think you can suppress him, and make such jokes, don't be too sure, when the time comes, everyone will not have a good time. ”

Cui Qiushan said a few words in his seat, slapped the table with his hand, and said hatefully:

"No, I'll play it tomorrow, saying that I'm not feeling well, and I'm going to resign from this commander, when I was happy, I thought luck had fallen on my head, but I didn't expect it to be roasted on the stove, don't do it, don't do it!!"

Hearing him say this, the scribe who called him the proprietor was stunned, and did not speak, but leaned directly back in his chair, while the other scribe sneered, and said:

"Cui Dutang, do you really think that this commander can be appointed by luck? The student thinks, you want to resign, but I am afraid that the one will not agree, if the time comes, if the official is impeached, the thousand households who said that Jungger will be transferred back and give you 50,000 taels of silver, and the girl who was born in Yehenara, who is in your house, is afraid that she will also become a spy sent over there, and then you will be full of mouths, and you can't tell clearly!

Cui Qiushan slammed the table, stood up and shouted angrily:

"Bastard, you want to blackmail this official!!"

"It's not to coerce, it's just a reminder, Cui Dutang, how did you come up, you know it in your heart, don't think it's really a fisherman's profit. In addition, how many senior officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Taifu Temple, Guanglu Temple, and the Ministry of War are the ones who are single-handed, how can they just go down? Besides, Your Majesty didn't say that you would let the Metropolitan Hall go to work, why are you so uncontrollable!!"

These words were almost reprimanding, and Cui Qiushan immediately glared at him viciously.

If he said this to him, he would not have to listen to him, but he would have to kowtow.

But what is the person in front of you?

Really annoyed him, thinking he couldn't handle you as a scribe?

Xu felt too stiff, and the man said with a smile earlier: "Cui Dutang, for the children of our Jinyi Wei pro-army who have been passed down for generations, no one wants a guy from Suzhou to be born in Suzhou to achieve the position of the capital hall, he is not familiar with any rules, and he is blind all the time, even if his father is a feudal official, but he himself has done the history of the canon and cannot participate in the imperial examination." Besides, although Your Majesty is sage, but he reuses such a minister, how can it be a long-term plan for the country, this is a major matter related to the society of the country, we can't sit idly by as courtiers!!"

Cui Qiushan stood there and looked left and right, some people laughed, some people were angry, and he also understood in his heart that the people here said that they were his staff members, and they were all those bigwigs behind them, and they couldn't use the one in the palace to press themselves, and they were helpless.

Standing there silent for a while, Cui Qiushan let out a long breath and said tiredly:

"Since you have all said so, the official is helpless, the official is tired, you all step down. ”

The scribes all stood up and politely said goodbye and went out, these people went out, Cui Qiushan listened to their footsteps in the distance, and suddenly a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The next morning, Lin Zhao got up early in the morning and finished washing, and was about to send someone to the palace to deliver the sign, when a eunuch suddenly came to the palace and said to Lin Zhao very politely: "Long live Lord Lin Zhao to enter the palace!"

What the?

Shouldn't the morning be the time for the emperor and his ministers to discuss state affairs? How could he, a small brocade guard, command the same acquaintance and loyal and filial baron, meet at this time?

Is it still right to enter the court?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao only smiled slightly, gently bowed his hand to the eunuch, gave a red envelope, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Lao is leading the way." ”

Hearing that his brother was going to see the emperor, Daiyu also came from behind, personally helped Lin Zhao pack his clothes, and said worriedly: "Brother, come back early." ”

Lin Zhao smiled and comforted: "It's okay, your brother is blessed, this time there must be a big reward for Long Live Lord." ”

For the ministers outside the palace, Lin Zhao is just an ordinary teenager, and there are many bigwigs in Beijing, after all, not everyone has interests related to Yangzhou salt merchants, but for the people in the palace, Lin Zhao is a great figure. Because of him, the use of kilometers is much more abundant, and many people know the merits of Lin Zhao, the "good wealth boy" of Long Live Lord.

Of course, with the advice of His Majesty's confidant eunuch Dai Quan, this Lin Zhao is also a figure that most eunuchs cannot afford to offend.

However, Lin Zhao didn't know this, and even if he knew, he didn't care.

Of course, if tens of millions of taels of silver can't be exchanged for the smiling faces of this group of eunuchs, Lin Zhao doesn't mind having a thought.

In this way, Lin Zhao followed the eunuch to the Wenhua Palace.
