Chapter 282: The Three Thousand Elite Soldiers
"Su Zijin fell asleep yesterday, also because of this sleepy powder?"
Lin Hanzhang nodded, "This prescription is configured, I just want to try how it works." ”
“……”
Lin Hanzhang glanced in the direction of the door, "If I'm right, she's awake at this time." ”
"What are you going to do with this woman?" Shen Huaijin said.
"Tie it up and stay in the inn," Lin Hanzhang thought of his mistake last night, knowing that this woman's city was extremely deep, and her wrist was also extremely clever, "so as not to have many dreams at night." ”
Shen Huaijin nodded, "I will go to Yizhuang again today and ask about the handprint." The emperor is not in a good mood during this time, and I will go back privately tonight, by the way...... Go to the East Palace. ”
East Palace.
It used to be the warmest place for him, although he had never seen his mother, but he copied many paintings made by the emperor and hung them on the wall.
Although there are countless famous paintings in the East Palace, the most beautiful painting for him is the portrait of the queen mother.
I still remember when I was young, when I didn't know about the power struggle, he and the emperor and others always had a good time in the back garden, and the grandmother in the palace would always bring delicious pastries when they were tired of playing.
The time spent in Zhaoming Temple, Shen Huaijin will never forget it in his life.
At that time, he was slandered for colluding with ministers in the court, participating in corruption and bribery, and was even sued by the Zhao family to the emperor, saying that he was not old but had a bad heart, and used Prince Gong's identity to form a gang.
At that time, the Zhao family was still a poor girl, and the power of Prince Gong could not be compared at all, and during that time, he did get closer to several ministers and bought some famous works from several ministers.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that these paintings used by the ministers to please him were obtained by oppressing the people and taking bribes, so he consciously confessed his guilt and went to Zhaoming Temple to be punished.
At that time, his eldest brother was leading troops to fight at the border pass, and heard that he was involved in the formation of a party in the imperial court, and was placed under house arrest in Zhaoming Temple.
When Fang went to Zhaoming Temple, he was arrested by the queen's men and horses, and for the crime of violating military discipline, he used a military order on the spot to force him to kill himself, otherwise he would have to do something to Shen Huaijin, who was still young.
The Beida battalion was all soldiers, so naturally they couldn't clash with the imperial court's own soldiers, so they could only watch the eldest brother kill himself in front of everyone.
At that time, he was carried back to the palace, and he didn't know what was going on, until the group of iron-blooded men in the Beidaying appeared outside the East Palace and wept collectively, and he didn't understand what had happened.
Although Shen Huaijin woke up, it was no different from wandering on the edge of the Ghost Gate Pass, and from time to time he had a high fever, so frightened that the imperial doctors didn't even dare to go home, but they actually set up a few beds in the East Palace, checking his situation day and night.
Therefore, how the world is benevolent to Prince Gong in the world, how to be amazing, how to be amazing, and how to be amazing, seems to be a smooth sailing life, but in fact there are reefs everywhere.
This incident shocked the government and the opposition because the prince was forced to die, but a wave of unsettled waves rose again, and the three thousand elite soldiers of the Beida Battalion collectively lay outside the East Palace, which actually forced Emperor Jiayi to come to inquire about the reason in person.
The three thousand men knelt down together, only according to the instructions of the eldest brother, they would swear to follow Prince Gong to the death and never betray him.
At that time, Shen Huaijin couldn't afford to be sick, and thinking of a tough person like his eldest brother, he was also damaged, and he couldn't help but worry about Shen Huaijin's safety.
In addition, he also blamed Shen Huaijin for the corruption of his paintings, and finally acquiesced to the 3,000 elite soldiers to stay in the capital, and specially allocated an area for his training.
After Shen Huaijin woke up, he became the only person in Qingyue's history who had a private army.
But this also caused a great sensation in the imperial court.
At that time, not long after the bloodbath of the imperial court, the inner court was in a time of rejuvenation, and there should be no other disputes except for the official system, but the private army was tantamount to a drop of oil falling into boiling water, and the whole court was boiling, and the folds of the book condemning this matter were piled up on the table.
But Emperor Jiayi ignored it, overrode public opinion, and acquiesced to the existence of this private army.
The reason why he is so determined to defend Shen Huaijin is also related to the fact that the pro-guard army forced the eldest brother to death this time.
Therefore, when the three thousand elite soldiers of the Beida Battalion said that it was the order of the great prince to stay in the capital to protect Shen Huaijin, he would be silent. The father didn't protect him well, so he could only help him fulfill his last wish.
It was also fortunate that the Inner Dynasty was about to be established, and everyone saw that the emperor's attitude was very clear, so they also put the matter aside, pressed the table, and began to shift their attention to other issues, so Shen Huaijin naturally had his own army.
As for the army that has now developed into 30,000 people, it is still within the rules set by Emperor Jiayi for him.
Emperor Jiayi only imposed three restrictions on the Beidaying, one of which was that its army should not exceed 30,000 people; secondly, its army must be used as a reserve force of the Imperial Army when it is necessary in wartime; Third, before mobilizing this army, it must be submitted to Emperor Jiayi for approval.
After the three constraints were settled, Shen Huaijin began to run the Beida camp, and then Shen Huaijin consciously recruited troops and horses to expand his army.
On his birthday that year, Emperor Jiayi asked him what gift he wanted, and at that time, Shen Huaijin was still lying on the bed weakly, looking out of the window weakly, and replied for a long time, "I...... I want the emperor to burn down Zhaoming Temple. ”
After returning to the house, Shen Huaijin looked at the pastries on the table that had been bitten a few times, and glanced at Su Zijin, who was still asleep, knowing that she must have gone to sleep.
Standing by the window and recalling the past, Shen Huaijin felt a little inexplicably sad.
It was dawn, and the faint clear light fell into the room through the window paper, and his eyes seemed to have fallen into frost and snow, and the whole person looked at the number of depressions with ups and downs.
The branches were bare, and Shen Huaijin realized that late autumn was about to pass. In fact, for the people of Beijing, a major event in the division of autumn and winter is the autumn test.
In ancient times, there was a saying that "the incense array penetrates Chang'an", and the road is the grand scene of the autumn test, and now, the chrysanthemums planted around the Forbidden City for the people to enjoy have long been scattered into mud.
After Su Zijin woke up from returning to the cage, she heard Ah Jing invite her over, so she stopped packing her halfway and turned around and went into the next room.
Seeing that Nian Yi was lying on the table tracing the calligraphy, Su Zijin tilted his head to take a look, and quipped: "This handwriting is good, Brother Zhou taught it?" ”
Nian Yi's face flushed, and he almost blurted out the four words of Prince Gong's brother, and said, "It was taught by the prince." ”
