With Li Mu's order issued, the entire Jinyi Guard Command made the Si Zheng Hall empty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In accordance with Li Mu's order, all the Jinyi Wei officials began to instruct their subordinates to notify the Jinyi Guards in all parts of the Ming Dynasty and order them to arrive in Beijing within two months.

As for how to send messages to farther places more quickly, Jinyiwei has its own unique messaging method.

Li Mu, who stood up from the main seat, strolled to the center of the hall, looking at the open door of the main hall, and the outside was full of Jinyi guards who were busy because of his orders.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian had already stood up after seeing Li Mu get up, and when he came close to listen to the orders.

"It's time for Gonggong Wei to go out next, and let the Jinyi Guard Eagle Guard, which was established in this seat, gradually take over all the guards of the imperial city, including the imperial palace." Li Mu didn't have any tone of discussion, and commanded Wei Zhongxian who was approaching in the form of an order.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyi Guard is only responsible for guarding one gate of the Imperial City, that is, the main gate of the Imperial City, the Noon Gate, and the remaining three gates are guarded by the other guards.

At the same time, the Jinyi guard is also responsible for the guards at the gates of Fengtianmen, as well as the guard of honor and whip during the court.

With these brocade guards in their hands alone, Li Mu could replace 1,500 to 2,000 brocade guards and eagle guards.

These are not enough, the Ming Imperial City still has a lot of defensive holes.

Li Mu needs the right to guard the other three gates, as well as some other guard duties, such as the final palace guard.

For this reason, Li Mu prepared 5,000 brocade-clothed eagle guards to replace all the guards who originally guarded the imperial city and the palace, and if it was not enough, he could also put another 3,000 eagle guards in.

Until every corner of the entire Ming Imperial City that needs to be guarded is replaced with brocade guards and eagle guards.

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing beside Li Mu and bowed slightly, looked frightened, and then said helplessly: "Sir, the old slave thinks that if you just replace the original Jinyi Guard Imperial City Guard with the Eagle Guard, it is better to say that it will be enough to transfer the Jinyi Guard internally." ”

After thinking for a while, Wei Zhongxian then shook his head and said, "It's just that if you want to replace the guard duties of the other three guards, it's too difficult, unless the emperor personally decrees it." ”

"This is not a problem of this seat, that is a problem that your father-in-law Wei has to consider, as long as the result of this seat is that in the next two to three months, the Eagle Guard must smoothly take over all the guard duties in the imperial city, including the imperial palace."

Li Mu ignored Wei Zhongxian's difficulties, and then said lightly: "You should know about Zhu Youxiao's condition, and this seat knows better than you know. ”

"Time is running out."

At this time, the sky seemed to become gloomy, and with Li Mu's mood, it pressed on Wei Zhongxian's body, making him breathless.

Now Wei Zhongxian was shocked in his heart, looking at Li Mu in disbelief, he knew the emperor's illness well, and it could be said that he had reached the point where he was powerless.

It's just that this news, Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family hid it very closely, but they never expected this to leak out.

"Don't be surprised, you and the Hakka hide it well, which is one of the reasons why you can still survive." Li Mu understood why Wei Zhongxian was surprised.

"Sir, Kamui." Wei Zhongxian said respectfully.

"This is just a small road, the reward I promised you, I will definitely do it." Li Mu patted the excited Wei Zhongxian, and the conversation changed.

"However, you and the Hakka family gave birth to a stillborn baby to the queen beauty of this seat, so that Zhu Youxiao did not inherit the heirs of the great unification, have you ever thought about a way out in the future?"

Li Mu told a part of the history, so frightened that Wei Zhongxian fell to his knees, prostrate and didn't dare to look up again, and his whole body trembled.

Wei Zhongxian finally understood that the loyal person in front of him was a celestial, and he even knew about the plot to poison the queen a few years ago.

Thinking of Li Mu's overnight stay in the Emperor's Queen's Bedroom and Jiaotai Hall last night, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly begged for mercy: "Lord, the old slave is guilty of death, the old slave is guilty of death, you should not poison the queen's phoenix body, and you have committed the crime of heavenly wrath." ”

"Okay, there is no need to mention this matter again, if you let the queen beauty know, this seat will have to kill you, get up." Li Mu glanced at Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you, Lord for not killing." Wei Zhongxian finally got up, stood respectfully to the side, lowered his body a point, and listened to Li Mu's words.

"Zhu Youxiao, who has no heirs, is bound to cede the throne, that is, the elder brother and the younger brother, and at that time, the new emperor will definitely clean up some old ministers, especially a eunuch like you who is involved in politics."

Li Mu continued: "At that time, this seat doesn't want to protect you useless waste, even if you are rewarded, your daughter will be affected, let alone think about the future." ”

"Lord, the old slave understands!" At this time, Wei Zhongxian's eyes revealed a gloomy gaze, and he said to Li Mu respectfully.

"What do you understand?" Li Mu asked.

"When the emperor is dying, the old slave will help the lord's eagle guard take over the entire imperial city guards, so that the imperial city is in the hands of the lord." Wei Zhongxian bowed and said.

"Wrong, this seat doesn't just want to control the imperial city." Li Mu looked at Wei Zhongxian, who finally understood, and nodded: "What I want is to control the future emperor, the emperor who may succeed to the throne." ”

"The old slave listens to the lord's jade order!" At this time, Wei Zhongxian had already regarded Li Mu as a celestial, and he did not dare to have half a sense of disobedience.

"After you go back, order Dongchang to take care of Zhu Youxiao's brother Xinwang Zhu Youzhen, and if necessary, you can send him to see the ancestors of the Zhu family."

Whether to kill Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, Li Mu is still hesitating, but it is still necessary to control it in advance, not only Chongzhen, but all those who can contaminate the throne are under control.

"At the same time, send spies from Dongchang to monitor all the Zhu royal families who have the ability to touch the throne."

"The old slave understands." Hearing the monitoring of the Zhu royal family, Wei Zhongxian's heart was hot for no reason, and the scene of his descendants seemed to appear in front of him.

"Well, there's nothing to do, so go down and do what this seat tells you." Li Mu instructed Wei Zhongxian.

"The old slave retired." Wei Zhongxian bowed.

"By the way, when you go back, let someone send some Jinyiwei's clothes, and this seat will use them." Seeing Wei Zhongxian, who was about to exit the main hall, Li Mu remembered that the Eagle Guard didn't have clothes yet.

After seeing Wei Zhongxian hear it, Li Mu waved his hand and asked him to hurry up.

After a while, looking at the main hall where there was no one, Li Mu also walked out, found a Jinyiwei captain, and asked where Jinyiwei usually trained.

Li Mu asked the captain to take him to the Jinyi Guard School Field, where Li Mu would form the Jinyi Guard Eagle Guard. (To be continued.) )
