CHAPTER XXV
In the afternoon, it was raining in the sky. At night, the wind is even more raging, and the white sails and lanterns under the eaves are blowing in the air and crumbling.
In the Pingxi Palace, the atmosphere is also like this weather, weird and elusive.
The coffin made of golden silk nanmu was placed in the hall, and Wu Sangui had already been buried.
A white candle with the thickness of an arm hangs a drop of white wax oil. The firelight swayed in the wind, some of which flickered and flickered, illuminating the faces with different expressions.
Wu Sangui's subordinates and officials at all levels in Yunnan were basically there.
These people have different expressions, and from time to time they secretly interact with familiar people.
Some people are thinking about how to win Wu Yingxiong's trust and seek more benefits, while others are thinking about whether to take the opportunity to suppress their opponents.
As for Wu Sangui's death, they are not sad. What they are concerned about is, what will happen to this piece of land in Yunnan next? As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier. After Wu Yingxiong succeeds to the throne, how will he treat these old guys.
"The son of the world has arrived!"
A summons sounded. Wu Yingxiong arrived.
At this time, Wu Yingxiong had already changed into a filial piety suit. Under the gaze of everyone, he walked in expressionlessly.
Behind Wu Yingxiong, there was also a man and a woman. It was Ye Jun and Long Er.
The officials in Yunnan didn't care, and only thought that the two were Wu Yingxiong's entourage.
An old man stepped forward, holding a book in his hand, and said, "Your Royal Highness, this is the process arrangement for the funeral of the prince, please take a look!" ”
"Look at everything!" Wu Yingxiong waved his hand.
"Yes......" the old man stepped back.
Wu Yingxiong looked around and saw Ye Jun bowing his head to himself, so he said, "Feng Xifan, this thief has the audacity to assassinate my father. I have sent for all his henchmen to be captured and publicly beheaded tomorrow, what do you think? ”
"Feng Xifan's assassination of the prince, the crime is heinous, and the nine clans should be punished!"
"It should be killed, none of its henchmen can be spared!"
Instead of dissent, the crowd added fuel to the fire. Feng Xifan also has a lot of cronies in the army, and after these people were pulled out, a lot of positions were vacated, and it was just right that they could arrange their own people to be there.
Wu Yingxiong pretended to be sad and said: "My father has died, but Yungui cannot be left without an owner one day, and I, as the son of the world, should take over the great responsibility." Avenge my father's death, and fulfill my father's last wish. ”
"I'll swear allegiance to the Son!"
Seeing this, a group of officials have expressed their attitudes, how long will they wait if they don't show their loyalty at this time?
"I'm relieved to have your words. You are all my father's henchmen and right-hand men, and I will never forget your contributions! ”
After a pause, Wu Yingxiong changed his words and said: "However, the appearance of a chaotic party like Feng Xifan this time shows that not everyone is loyal to my Wu family. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, I decided to rebuild the Jinyiwei! ”
"What!"
A group of officials were shocked.
These people, basically all of whom were left behind by the former Ming Dynasty, how could they not know the notorious institution of the Ming Empire?
That's the existence of a murderous human head, which makes all officials change their complexion and see it with fear.
Jin Yiwei is a sword of the superior, which is extremely useful, but for subordinates, who wants to have such a sword hanging on their heads all the time?
Therefore, there was immediate opposition!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the brocade clothes are poisonous to the world, and the lessons of the former Ming Dynasty are still in front of me, please don't be confused!" An official stepped forward.
Next to him, someone sneered: "Lord Wang, do you mean that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is as unclear as Chongzhen's faint monarch, or do you mean that your buttocks are not clean, so you are afraid that Jinyi Wei will come to investigate?" ”
After this person finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Jun and Long Er, their eyes met, and they were affirmed, and their faces couldn't help showing a hint of joy.
Ye Jun nodded secretly, this person's name is Yan Xiong, he is a person from the Divine Dragon Sect, he has received orders from Ye Jun and Long Er before, and knows that Wu Yingxiong has been controlled, and the order issued is the order of Ye Jun and Long Er, Yan Xiong naturally spares no effort to support it at this time.
"Yan Xiong, don't spew blood. The old man has worked hard for more than ten years, is conscientious, and loyal to the prince, and the sun and the moon can be seen. Lord Wang said hurriedly.
"Since there are no ghosts in your heart, what are you afraid of?" Yan Xiong sneered, "Lao Tzu is not afraid, I am the first to agree with His Royal Highness the Prince of the World to establish the Jinyi Guard, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to establish the Jinyi Guard and be the first to check me!" ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces were different.
Everyone understands people, isn't being an official just to get rich? Who doesn't have shit under their ass? However, Yan Xiong was the first to jump out today, which was really surprising. It is said that Yan Xiong was not like such a person in the past. Is it because the prince is dead, and he is in a hurry to hug the thigh of the prince?
Surely, what other reason could there be?
Everyone thought they were connected, and they all despised it in their hearts, and they couldn't help but regret it a little, how could such a good opportunity to show their loyalty be robbed by Yan Xiong? After all, after the first expression of loyalty was recognized by His Royal Highness the Prince, he will definitely be a confidant in the future. Even if you establish a brocade guard, you will definitely not check him, otherwise, who would dare to help you?
On the contrary, if you come against His Royal Highness the Prince at this time, you will be the first to be unlucky in the future.
Thinking about all this, everyone expressed their approval for the establishment of Jinyiwei.
Wu Yingxiong nodded and said, "There is no doubt that your lords are loyal to my Wu family, and I also believe that there will never be a thief like Feng Xifan among your lords." Therefore, I promise that in the future, after the establishment of Jinyiwei, I will never set foot in the mansion of your lords. ”
Hearing this, a group of officials breathed a sigh of relief, and they all rushed to pat themselves on the back, for fear of falling behind others.
That's the power of power!
Wu Yingxiong deeply felt the difference. In the past, although everyone respected him, more people looked down on him in their bones, thinking that he was just a good fate. Now that they have the right to decide their life and death, the group of guys all shakes their heads and tails like pugs.
The vassal king is like this, how should the emperor be domineering? No wonder everyone in the world wants to be emperor.
It's a pity that all this was brought by others, and he is just a marionette.
Wu Yingxiong looked back and saw Ye Jun's expressionless face, his heart suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly followed Ye Jun's instructions before, and said, "I believe that your lords are loyal to me. However, the low-level officials and soldiers have not been educated, and they are easily used by the chaotic party. Someone must explain it to them and transmit the idea of loyalty. In case of a rebellious thief like Feng Xifan.
This matter was handed over to the Divine Dragon Sect to be responsible. In the army, 100 households are used as units, and each 100 households is assigned an instructor to teach teachings. Each thousand households will arrange a political commissar who is responsible for the transmission of military orders, the ideological work of the army, and the management of living materials!
