The warbler flies and the grass grows, the leaves fall and yellow, and in the blink of an eye, Jinyiwei, one of the top violent institutions of the Ming Dynasty, has been in charge by Zhou Chen for more than a few months.

During this period of time, Jinyiwei was completely cleared and picketed several times by Xu Yan's Nanzhen Fusi.

The entire Jinyiwei is not to say that it was operated as a subway barrel, but most of the secret agents of the various forces have also been pulled out.

As for the deeper hidden stakes, this is not something that can be reasonably explained in a day and a half.

At least now Zhou Chen has been able to control the entire Jinyi Guard, on the surface, no one will dare to question the decision, Xu Yan, the commander of the Nanzhen Fusi, can be regarded as living up to Zhou Chen's high expectations.

It is now the end of July, and it will be a hundred days before the Hongzhi Emperor Long Yu Bintian, and the period for the country's funeral is about to end.

After the great sorrow, it has always been necessary to rush with great joy, and the current Emperor Shengshang Zhengde has not yet established a concubine, so there is naturally nothing else except the emperor's wedding on the great joy of the Ming Dynasty.

There is a way that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the harem is also not without a master for a day, and Emperor Zhengde has not yet felt how, and the ministers in the court began to get anxious.

Even if the national funeral period has not completely passed, there are ministers in the court who have repeatedly written to Emperor Zhengde to draft a girl.

In this regard, Emperor Zhengde did not have any other doubts, even if there were countless eunuchs in the inner court, they went to all parts of the country to select a girl from a good family between the ages of thirteen and sixteen to enter Beijing.

In order to avoid the dictatorship of foreign relatives, there is a point about draft girls, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also once set a group training: all the princes and princesses and concubines in the palace, carefully choose the daughters of good families for them, and those who enter will be accepted!

Therefore, almost the vast majority of the personnel of this show girl are women from good families among the people, and very few of the show girls are from the official family in the court.

Of course, in order to ensure the purity and excellence of the bloodline of the royal Zhu family, the process of this draft girl is also extremely rigorous and demanding.

It's just that not all the concubines and concubines are from the people, in addition to the daughters of the Ming Dynasty, there are also some women from the surrounding vassal countries who paid tribute.

For example, the reason why Emperor Zhengde summoned Zhou Chen into the palace now is because of a princess from a small country.

In the Forbidden City's Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Zhengde sat on the dragon chair, and Cao Zhengchun, the great eunuch, served by his side.

Zhou Chen sat quietly at the bottom, carefully looking at a lifelike picture of a lady.

There were not only the three of them in the Heart Cultivation Palace, but there was also a middle-aged man with a dignified face sitting opposite Zhou Chen, who was the current emperor's uncle, the Iron Courage God Hou Zhu ignored.

In Zhu Ignorance's hand, he was also holding a scroll of ladies' pictures, and the women in the paintings were exactly the same as the people depicted in the ladies' pictures in Zhou Chen's hand.

At present, the leaders of the three major intelligence agencies of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Hulong Villa, have all been handed over to this palace by Emperor Zhengde, and the fundamental reason is all because of the people painted on the picture of this lady.

His gaze swept over Zhou Chen, Cao Zhengchun, and Zhu Wuzhi one by one, and Emperor Zhengde said in a solemn voice: "The person depicted on this picture is Princess Toshihide of Izumo Province, escorted by his minister Karasuma to pay tribute to me.

According to the letter sent by Izumo Province in advance, the king of Izumo Province knew that I was going to draft a draft girl in the near future, so he very much hoped that this Rishu would be included in my harem as a concubine.

Izumo Province began to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty from the time Emperor Father ascended the throne, and the relationship between the two countries has always been harmonious for decades.

It is reasonable for me to give the king of Yunguo this little face, and accept this princess Lixiu as a concubine.

However, I have never known much about the princess of Izumo Province, so I specially invited the three of them to discuss and see how this princess Lixiu is. ”

Hearing the voice of Emperor Zhengde in his ears, Zhu Wuzhi, whose status was second only to Emperor Zhengde in the field, took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, the woman in this painting can be called the beauty of the country.

However, the look in the eyes of the minister is a little wrong, and the minister is worried that there will be different intentions! ”

Listening to Zhu Wuzhi's words, Zhou Chen glanced at him without a trace.

If Zhou Chen's expectations are good, this is the princess of Izumo Kingdom, which is a trick directed and acted by the iron god Hou Zhu in disregard, in order to compete with Cao Zhengchun for power and profit.

It's just that now that Zhou Chen and Jinyiwei have been involved, I don't know if the purpose of this iron courage god Hou Zhu is still just Cao Zhengchun.

Just as Zhou Chen was secretly thinking in his heart, Emperor Zhengde's gaze couldn't help but flow to Zhou Chen's body, and he asked out loud: "Zhou Chen, what do you think about this?!" ”

Zhou Chen came back to his senses when he heard this, he first got up from his seat and bowed to Emperor Zhengde, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know anything about face observation, so the minister naturally can't see anything from this scroll of ladies.

But if the emperor wants to know the news of this princess Lixiu, then the minister will immediately send the Jinyi guard to investigate, and ensure that the information will be transmitted to the emperor in the shortest possible time. ”

At the moment when Zhou Chen's voice just fell, the Iron Courage God Hou Zhu ignored it and said in a loud voice: "Regarding the situation of Princess Rishu and Karasuma of Izumo Country, Ben Hou knows a little. ”

"Oh? Uncle Huang actually knew about the situation of the two of them. ”

Emperor Zhengde snorted lightly, and hurriedly asked, "Then please ask Uncle Huang to talk about it in detail." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhu ignored and got up and arched his hand towards the emperor above, and then explained in a loud voice: "This Princess Lixiu is the most beloved youngest daughter of King Izumo's knees, and she is in her twenty-eighth year, so she just meets the standards of the emperor's draft girl.

As for Karasuma, the minister of Izumo Province, this Hou heard that he was the first military commander of Izumo Province, and his martial arts were extremely high, and he didn't know where to hide with a quick sword.

With a flash of the sword, the enemy's head immediately fell to the ground.

Izumo Province sent such a powerful figure to send off relatives, we really can't be unprepared! ”

As soon as Zhu ignored what he had just finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun, who was waiting beside Emperor Zhengde, said faintly: "This Dragon Guardian Villa under the command of the Divine Marquis is worthy of being the first-class intelligence agency in the world.

Even characters in a small place like Izumo Province can be in charge, which is really amazing! ”

Cao Zhengchun, the position of the overseer of Dongchang, was originally promoted by Emperor Hongzhi during his lifetime in order to balance the Iron Courage Shenhou and the Dragon Guardian Villa.

Consciously driven by Emperor Hongzhi during his lifetime, Cao Zhengchun and Zhu ignored the fact that they had already formed incompatible political enemies.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun seized the opportunity to give Zhu Wuzhi eye medicine, and vaguely hinted to Emperor Zhengde that the intelligence news of the Dragon Protector Villa was terrible.
