Chapter 43: Commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lu Fan!

Qianqing Palace, in that familiar hall, Zhu Youzhen and Lu Fan stood in front of each other.

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen's face was very gloomy, and he was even a little afraid.

Neither of them spoke, and it was not until half an hour later, when the Emperor's anger had subsided a little, that he spoke.

"This time, fortunately, Lu Fan, you informed Yu Zhen in time, otherwise Inspector Yuan would really be taken into prison, I'm afraid that if you don't die, you will have to shed your skin!"

Lu Fan didn't speak, he knew that next, Zhu Youzhen still had something to ask.

"What about Luo Yangxing, have you taken it?"

"It's already been sent to the Imperial Prison!" Lu Fan paused, and then continued: "After issuing an order to arrest Yuan Chonghuan to the Fusi of Beizhen, Luo Yangxing went straight to the Imperial Prison, probably wanting to torture Inspector Yuan and confirm his confession in advance! Fortunately, I stopped him halfway ahead of schedule!"

Zhu Youzhen's anger came up again, "Luo Yangxing, how dare he, why is he so bold?! Just because I reprimanded him, he did something to the minister who was heavy on my back foot, lawless, lawless!"

"This ......" Lu Fan sighed and said, "The reason why Luo Yangxing is eyeing Yuan Chonghuan is also because Inspector Yuan has weaknesses, and he is indeed deeply involved in the eunuch party. There is definite evidence that Inspector Yuan was one of the earlier people who established an ancestral hall for Wei Zhongxian, and he also wrote many times to praise Wei Zhongxian!"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand a little impatiently, and said helplessly: "At the beginning, the eunuch party was powerful, and Yuan Inspector Shixu and the Snake Committee Qu Qiuquan were also a last resort, before I ascended the throne, in the face of Wei Zhongxian, I had to be cautious and dare not offend in the slightest?"

In this regard, Lu Fan didn't say anything more.

I have to say that for Yuan Chonghuan, Zhu Youzhen really trusts him to the core, and even personally exonerates him. It's just a pity that Yuan Chonghuan is a talented person, and the so-called five-year Pingliao is just a joke!

"Lu Fan, the courtiers reacted very much to this matter, and I could come out by feeling, they were really afraid of Jinyiwei!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen turned to look at Lu Fan, and his voice subconsciously lowered a few points, "I have experienced the disaster of the factory guards during the eunuch period. I thought that after I ascended the throne, I could firmly grasp this power, but Luo's cultivation of nature reminded me that Jinyiwei, that is a group of wolves, if one is not handled well, it will even lead to fire!"

"Many ministers in the DPRK have gone up to the court and asked for the abolition of Jinyiwei, and I also feel that the existence of Jinyiwei has made it impossible for the courtiers and me to be unanimous, and has become an obstacle to the revival of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what do you think about this, Lu Fan?"

What do I think? I think you're a bad pen, okay?

He was full of slander in his heart, but Lu Fan looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since the establishment of Taizu, Jinyiwei has gone through more than two hundred years, and the personnel involved are extremely complicated, and many noble sons and daughters have hereditary positions in Jinyiwei, and if they are abolished rashly, I am afraid that it will cause greater cholera!"

Zhu Youzhen sighed, "I also know this, so I haven't expressed my position for a long time." ”

"In fact, my original plan was to move the Jinyiwei institution to Nanjing and stay in the Nanjing area for retirement, but several cabinet elders disagreed, fearing that it would cause cholera and provoke a civil uprising!"

"Therefore, this matter is deadlocked here! It cannot be abolished, and the courtiers who moved to Nanjing did not agree, this matter is very difficult to do!"

Lu Fan sneered in his heart, he remembered that in history, after Chongzhen came to power, he was also fooled and lame by the Donglin Party, and the factory guard was left idle and no longer used.

Unexpectedly, after some calculations by themselves, after experiencing the matter of Luo Yang's sexuality, this group of guys directly moved the idea of abolishing the factory guard.

"Your Majesty wants to move Jinyiwei, in fact, you don't necessarily have to move to Nanjing, if you change places, such as Shanxi, Liaodong and other border places, presumably the elders of the Central Cabinet will still raise their hands in agreement!"

For the Donglin Party, as long as Jinyiwei does not go to Jiangnan to harm their hometown, as for whether it is a party to the disaster elsewhere, they don't care!

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up, and then he fell into deep thought, thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the real elite of the Jinyi Guard, that is, the five thousand households of the North Town Fu Division, as for the South Town Fu Division and the remaining thousands of households, most of them are some noble children who have no ability to eat and wait for death, and if they stay in the capital, they will not cause any trouble. ”

"If Your Majesty is interested, Weichen can lead the Beizhen Fusi and a group of horsemen to the border area after the New Year, and establish a guard, so that you can support yourself in the tuntian, and you can also investigate and investigate the movements of Jiannu, it is better than staying in Beijing to block Your Majesty and the hundred officials!"

Saying this, Zhu Youzhen was immediately moved.

If you keep the brocade guard, the monarchs and ministers will be suspicious of each other, and they will not be able to serve the country wholeheartedly.

For him, who wants to become the master of Zhongxing, today's Jinyiwei, in his eyes, is a pity to throw away, but if he doesn't throw it, it will be troublesome.

And Lu Fan's suggestion at this moment is a good way.

Transferring out of the capital division and going to the border to collect intelligence, Jinyiwei can be useful, and the court officials can also be out of sight and out of mind, which is a good way.

"Lu Fan, the bitter cold land on the side is not as prosperous and comfortable as the Jingshi, if you take them out, you can be sure that they can be controlled, if they cause a mutiny, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei is one of the Daming Guards, but the authority is far greater than that of ordinary guards, foreign intelligence and reconnaissance are their functions, if they can't even endure a little hardship, what qualifications do they have to serve as Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, "It's good if you have confidence, I will discuss this matter with the courtiers." Don't worry, I won't treat you badly! Jinyiwei, after all, is not a serious way for military attachés to be promoted, and when you make contributions in the future, I will give you a splendid future. ”

"By the way, the matter of purging the remnants of the eunuch party will end here, don't implicate it again, the case should be closed, and it should be closed as soon as possible before the year!"

Lu Fan nodded and bowed.

He understands that the day when he will lead thousands of elites from Beizhen Fusi to leave Beijing is not far off!

........

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the shadow that permeated the entire capital finally stopped.

On the Jinyi side, all kinds of work on the elimination of the remnants of the eunuch party were completely completed, and there was no further expansion and spread to other people.

This makes the atmosphere of the whole city of Beijing relaxed, and it is finally possible to spend the New Year in peace.

And it was also on this day that Lu Fan was given the Flying Fish Suit, and he received the will to serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and became a military attache of the third grade!
