Chapter 25 Stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix twenty-five

When Qin Tai came to the outside of the cabinet duty room, he was stopped by a group of soldiers. The cabinet duty room is located next to the palace and belongs to the palace's sphere of influence. The cabinet itself has no soldiers, and the officers and soldiers guarding the cabinet duty room are forbidden troops. For the safety of cabinet officials, successive emperors have lined up serious illnesses to protect the cabinet duty room. Generally speaking, people who are not cabinet officials are not allowed to enter and leave the cabinet duty room at will. Even the heads of the six ministries, who are not cabinet officials, cannot easily enter and leave the cabinet duty room.

The entire forbidden army consisted of a total of five armies and twenty-five teams, namely the left army, the right army, the front army, the rear army and the middle army, and each army was divided into one, two, three, four and five teams. The main task of the Forbidden Army was to guard the Imperial Palace, and the main place of work was inside and outside the Imperial Palace. The left army was responsible for guarding the west side of the palace, in addition to guarding the west gate of the palace and the corner gate entering and exiting the imperial garden, it was to check the entry and exit qualifications of the miscellaneous servants. The west gate is connected to the Imperial Dining Room and the Miscellaneous Servants' Room, and is a place where miscellaneous servants and supplies come in and out every day. Sending water into the palace in the morning, sending food into the palace, and leaving the palace at noon, all have to pass through here. Therefore, the law and order here is the most chaotic, and it is also the busiest place in the forbidden army. The Right Army was responsible for guarding the east gate of the palace, which was the place where the prince and the children of the knighthood entered and exited the official school. The emperor's children and the children and nephews of the emperor's relatives have to go in and out of this east gate every day to go to school. Every day, the sons and nephews of the emperor's relatives who live outside and the princes who live inside the palace have to go to the official school, and the teachers are all concurrently served by the Hanlin Academy or cabinet officials. The academic performance of the children studying here is not very good, but in order to be familiar with the rich and noble, everyone does not dare to be lazy. The former army was responsible for guarding the main entrance of the palace, protecting the entry and exit of officials from the upper and lower courts, and was also responsible for the security and guarding of the cabinet duty room. The rear army was responsible for guarding the north gate of the palace, and was also responsible for the daily training of the forbidden army. The Chinese army is responsible for patrolling the interior of the palace to prevent emergencies, and also plays a role in fire prevention and theft. Each army has five teams of soldiers, and the soldiers take turns to work, three teams take turns during the day, and two teams take turns at night, and the big rotation is done once a month. The forbidden army was the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty at that time, not only with excellent weapons and equipment, but also very comprehensive in training. However, Zhan Xiaoxiao told her husband Qin Tai that these forbidden soldiers had never seen blood, and they were actually vulnerable to the battlefield.

Of course, the forbidden army guarding the cabinet knew Zhang Juzheng's personal entourage, and they didn't dare to offend this red man's subordinates. But they didn't dare to let Qin Tai, an outsider, in, casually, if something happened, none of them could afford it. Zhang Juzheng's entourage didn't know Qin Tai's true identity, so he didn't dare to vouch for Qin Tai. The soldiers of the forbidden army were even more suspicious of Qin Tai, not only stopped Qin Tai, but also aimed their weapons at Qin Tai. Zhang Juzheng's entourage didn't dare to stay long, and immediately went in to report to Zhang Juzheng.

Of course, Qin Tai can't disclose his identity, nor can he expose himself too much to outsiders. It is difficult to ensure that some careful people can see the makeup on his face, so that Qin Tai's identity will be exposed. Qin Tai was not worried at all, because he had several different waist cards on him, so he didn't have to worry about the forbidden army embarrassing himself. The forbidden army is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor of the Houjun Governor's Office, but in fact, his direct boss is the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The general army in Qin Tai's hand can not work, but for the forbidden army guarding the palace, it definitely has an immeasurable effect.

Qin Tai didn't say much to the officers and soldiers, and coldly took out a jade waist card. Suddenly, all the officers and soldiers put down the weapons in their hands and knelt down and bowed their heads, not daring to look at Qin Tai. Qin Tai looked at the waist card in his hand, and immediately understood that he had taken the wrong waist card. Although this waist card is similar to the jade waist card in and out of the palace, the meaning is actually very different. The waist cards that enter and exit the palace are divided into five types: wooden, iron, silver, gold, and jade. The wooden waist plate is for miscellaneous servants or temporary entry and exit of the palace; The iron waist card is a proof of low-level buying eunuchs or palace maids entering and leaving the palace gate; The silver waist card is a waist card used by the chief eunuch or the palace maid of the upper grade. People of this level can enter and leave the palace gate at any time, but they cannot take people in and out of the palace; The gold waist card can only be owned by a great eunuch or a relative of the emperor. Not only can you enter and exit any palace gate anytime and anywhere, but also can enter and exit the palace gate on behalf of a small number of people; The jade waist card is the highest grade, and it can enter and exit any palace gate without inspection. The person who has this waist card is either a big man or a person with a special status. Feng Bao prepared this kind of waist card for Qin Tai in order to cover Qin Tai's identity, worried that someone would recognize Qin Tai. However, the waist card that Qin Tai took out by mistake is not only a proof of identity, but also a proof equivalent to a military talisman. It turned out that Feng Bao was not only the first eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, but also the eunuch in charge of the East Factory, and the young eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch. In the Ming Dynasty, the celebrant was like the cabinet of the previous dynasty, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch was like the first assistant of the cabinet, the first eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch was like the second assistant of the cabinet of the previous dynasty, and the imperial horse eunuch was the eunuch management organization with the troops. The Imperial Horse Warden was not only responsible for the security of the palace, but also for training and managing the forbidden army. Generally speaking, the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Eunuch are only one level smaller than the eunuchs of the Celebrant Palm Seal, and they are the second largest eunuchs in the palace. The eunuch of the imperial horse can enter the eunuch as a eunuch or not. There are no eunuchs in this year's eunuchs, so the status of the eunuchs is almost equal to that of Meng Chong, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the seal. The eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch was an honest and peaceful person, not only finally Emperor Longqing, but also loyal to Concubine Li Guifei for a long time. In order to let her confidant Feng Bao take over the eunuch in charge of the seal as soon as possible, Concubine Li asked Feng Bao to concurrently serve as the young eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch had already told his subordinates that he was just an ornament, and the real manager was the young eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch. Whoever can take out the token of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Young Eunuch is the supreme leader in charge of the overall management of the forbidden army. No wonder the forbidden army saw the waist card in Qin Tai's hand, and was as respectful and obedient as a grandson when he saw his own ancestor.

Qin Tai didn't say anything more to them, it wasn't any style, but he was afraid that someone would see something unusual. Because the young eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison is an internal institution of the eunuch organization, that is to say, it is also a eunuch. Whether it is Qin Tai himself or the person after makeup, he is an ordinary normal man, and he is definitely not a eunuch. So he couldn't stay with everyone longer, and he couldn't let people see the flaws, so he hurriedly walked into the cabinet duty room. His behavior was mistaken for arrogance and indifference by the soldiers of the forbidden army, and not only did everyone not have the heart to suspect Qin Tai, but also felt that this was the style and style that only big people should have.

Walking into the cabinet duty room, Qin Tai was just about to ask Zhang Juzheng which room he was in, when he saw Zhang Juzheng come out to pick up Qin Tai. Personally told Zhang Juzheng about the matter, and Zhang Juzheng immediately thought of Qin Tai and his wife. Only Qin Tai and his wife would be so alert, and his wife would be so trusting. Only Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao could see the problem of the cook in such a short period of time and suppress the matter. Zhang Juzheng immediately guessed the identities of these two people, and it must be Zhan Xiaoxiao Zhan Woman who hit people, and it must be Qin Tai and his friend who secretly commanded him. As Zhang Juzheng got older, his feelings for Qin Tai became more and more strange. He often treats Qin Tai as his younger brother or even his own son, and he can't treat Qin Tai as an ordinary friend. He couldn't help but protect Qin Tai's family, and he couldn't help but teach Qin Tai a lesson. Zhang Juzheng admired other skills and temperament, but opposed Qin Tai's way of doing things and his attitude towards people. Qin Tai is too upright and too shrewd, which always makes people feel that they dare not face it. It was also because Qin Tai was too fair and honest that people did not dare to get close to him, so Emperor Longqing and others wanted to use him, but they did not dare to get too close to Qin Tai. Even Concubine Li Guifei felt that Qin Tai was weird, as if she was out of place with everyone. In fact, Zhang Juzheng knows the truth, not because Qin Tai is weird, but because they have become too cunning because of too much politics. Qin Tai's straightforward personality made everyone feel weird. Zhang Ju just wanted to teach Qin Tai a lesson several times, but he couldn't help but say it, because he was worried that Qin Tai would reason with him. Although Zhang Juzheng thinks that he can speak well, he is really not Qin Tai's opponent. Because Qin Tai is not only upright but also the correct truth is on his side, some things can not be said clearly, and the truth that is said is not necessarily completely correct. Zhang Juzheng said the truth of ordinary people, and Qin Tai pursued the truth in the real sense. In the face of the great truth, Zhang Juzheng's truth is already pale and weak. Zhang Juzheng also wants to be a person like Qin Tai and do what Qin Tai thinks is right, but Zhang Juzheng can't do this, and he doesn't dare to do it. Because Zhang Juzheng is not an ordinary person, he wants to be the first assistant of the cabinet, and he must be a person who does not lower the truth. Because neither his opponents nor his own people around him are people who speak big truths. Telling them big things will only do bad things, and it will only make no one feel better. Zhang Juzheng has given up the idea of letting Qin Tai be as good as a stream, Qin Tai is too true and upright, he can't learn this kind of officialdom, and he won't do it. Zhang Juzheng couldn't convince Qin Tai, and Qin Tai couldn't change, so Zhang Juzheng had to be a pair of ideal friends with Qin Tai and a pair of pen pals who exchanged letters. Cohen was able Qin Tai also thought of this, so he had a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng and did not let Zhang Juzheng speak for himself. In the absence of a relationship of interest, the two of them can always be friends and will not hurt each other. Qin Tai wanted him more. The relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Tan Yan will last forever. This is also what Zhang Juzheng wants, and Tan Yan has also thought about it, but it is impossible for the time being. Due to the status of Zhang Juzheng and Tan Yan, the two of them cannot be together openly, and it is impossible for them to sit down and chat calmly. Qin Tai once thought that one of the two of them would take the initiative to quit and give up their hostile attitude in order to maintain their friendship. But who will budge? Zhang Juzheng is impossible, only Tan Tan takes the initiative to leave, but it is too cruel to Tan Tan to do so, will Tan Tan agree to it?
