August 15 of the second year of the new year. Haidu City is three points more lively than usual. On this day, all workshops have a holiday. Ordinary people shuttle through the long street full of shops and start shopping for festive goods. Merchants are also seizing this opportunity. Do everything you can to promote your own products. Loud and bustling.

The thousands of households on duty in Beizhen Fusi were bored and hid in the wing room on the left side of the public hall to rest. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many of the yamen have taken a holiday. Bukjin Fusi was responsible for the Gyeonggi garrison. Instead, it got busy. Detectives from all walks of life have inquired about the news in the city. Every half hour. Then Ti rode into the ya, and reported that he was safe. At this time, the city was full of soldiers. Even the newly recruited army came in handy. Patrol the streets in teams of 10 people. This Qianhu didn't believe that there would be any rebellion at this time. But that being said. But that's where the function lies. Qianhu did not dare to slack off.

"Your Excellency. The east of the city is peaceful. The brethren were covered with stakes there. There was nothing out of the ordinary. A fanzi dressed as a merchant came straight in. Bow down and make a report.

"Mr. He has worked hard." Thousands of households blow tea foam. Comfortably crossed his legs. All four gates have been declared safe. There is nothing unusual in the east, west, and south of the city. As long as there is no problem in the north of the city. Then he will be relieved.

"Come on. Come. Sit down and take a sip of tea. From noon squatting to now. Look at your sweaty face. "Qianhu is in a good mood. Beckoned Mr. He to sit down.

"Master Xie." Most of the brocade guards are rough people. There is no such politeness as a literati. He Zongqi smiled and bowed. Chose a place and sat down. Immediately, Tiqi brought him tea. He Zongqi was obviously thirsty too. Rumble and drink dry. He wiped the tea residue on his mouth and said with a smile: "Thousands of adults are compassionate and despicable. I can't thank you enough. ”

"Your Excellency. How many days have you heard that the commander of Hu will transfer a team of brothers back to Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiangnan and other provinces? ”

Qianhu nodded and said, "There is such a thing. This is what the emperor meant. The emperor also praised our Beizhen Fusi for doing things. Therefore, he wanted to secretly infiltrate a group of brothers to spy on the military in the occupied area. It's just that the candidate has not yet been decided. Commander Hu means that the final accounts will be made after the selection. ”

Mr. He's eyes lit up. Said: "Then this salary is doubled." Is it true that you can be promoted after three years? ”

Qianhu grinned and said, "Lao He." What are you playing with the idea. Do you want to go to the Occupied Zone? ”

Mr. He was also very excited. He is now the general banner of Jinyiwei. A petty official who doesn't even count as a fart. There are only fifty men under his command. But this is indeed a hereditary office. In the future, when his children grow up, they will also be able to inherit them. Therefore. He has been trying to find a way to elevate this general flag to 100 or 1,000 households. The children and grandchildren leaned against his big tree to enjoy the shade. But it's so easy to get promoted. Usually, the sea capital is calm in the city. Nothing big is a big deal. Therefore. He thought about working in the occupied area for a few years. Although dangerous. There is no ambiguity in rising to office. He smiled and said, "I want to think about it." It's just that I don't know how to select this person who goes north. How to settle the credit is made. Don't say anything else. My Lao He is always loyal to the emperor. On weekdays, I am also cautious in running errands. Although it has not been done. But there is hard work. You always see this, right? I'm afraid that Commander Hu won't look down on my old bones. Ay. Who wouldn't want to be crowned a wife? My old man is also one in forty. A man whose whole body is to be buried in the earth. While you can still do it, move it. I am going to plan for my children and grandchildren in general. ”

Qianhu also listened and nodded again and again. inadvertently remembered his two unsuccessful sons. Said: "You have this mind. Ben Qianhu will definitely say a few kind words for you in front of the commander Hu. ”

The two of them chatted a little more about the recent changes in the city. It's all emotional. The thousand households are not on the shelf. Laughed with Mr. He. At this time, there was a sound of riding boots smacking outside the wing. Qianhu solemnly cocked his legs. Shut up. I only saw that the general flag of the patrol in the north of the city also returned.

"Mr. Li. What is the situation in the north of the city? Qianhu saw that Li Zongqi's face was not worried. Something happened to the project. So ask the question first.

Li Zongqi greeted thousands of households. He turned sideways and nodded to Mr. He. It's kind of a meeting between colleagues. Then he said: "There are rumors in the north of the city. Someone is going to stab you tonight. ”

Thousands of households and He Zongqi were all moved. He stood up and said in unison, "Who is it?" ”

Li Zongqi said: "I don't know if it's a lie." In short, it is a rumor from the north of the city. The brothers are looking around. The battalions also sent troops to search the north of the city. If you find something suspicious, you will be directly pulled to the criminal department for questioning. The situation today. Zhang Youde, the commander of the Shenyong Battalion, and Mu Jianming, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, personally mobilized troops to guard the various intersections in the north of the city. What they mean is that they would rather believe it. Not credible. It's better to catch a thousand by mistake. Nor should one be spared. ”

While talking. Qianhu and He Zongqi have stepped on the Jinchun knife. Qianhu Yang raised his hand and said, "What the two commanders said is right. We can't slack off in Beizhen. Li Zongqi, you quickly go to Commander Hu to report this matter. He Zongqi ordered the idle brothers in the division to go to the north of the city with this thousand households. ”

"Yes." The two flags clenched their fists together.

Jin Yiwei commanded Hu Yan to rest this morning. I have enough energy to cope with the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After knowing the news, the sleepiness suddenly disappeared. He yelled at Mr. Li, who reported the news: "What are you still doing?" Immediately notify all the Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Baihu, Zongqi, Xiaoqi, and Tiqi who were on vacation in the morning to go to the cities to investigate. All the suspects were taken to the criminal department for questioning. ”

Li Zongqi responded. Fly away. Hu Yan didn't care about the crown wearing court clothes. hurriedly led a fast horse to the palace. This fact is too big. Nor can he call the shots. Everything is still returned, and the emperor is consulted before making a decision.

To be introduced to the Winter Pavilion by the eunuch. Three university fellows. Officials from various ministries have long gathered here. Hu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and shouted Long live my emperor. After that, he apologized and said: "Weichen is also the commander of the Beizhen Fu Division. I didn't know about it until now. Damn it. Please punish the emperor. ”

These courtiers knew the news earlier than Hu Yan. They all hurried to meet the driver. The two sides are arguing over the issue. The faction led by Mu Tianbo and Yang Side thought that there was danger. A gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall. Therefore, the emperor is advised to cancel tonight's activities. The faction led by Zhou Mubai is not. They think the will has been given. No jokes. If you cancel without permission, it will make people laugh. It has a great influence on the prestige of the emperor. Each side is a quote from the scriptures. Eloquent. Zhu Jun was dizzy from their fight. At this time, Hu Yan came. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. He calmly took a moment: "Hu Aiqing, let's be flat." You've come just in time. What's going on out there? ”

Hu Yan said: "All battalions of soldiers and horses have been dispatched. Blockade of the four cities. Barriers have also been set up at various street intersections. The Jinyi guards have all canceled their vacations, and they all rushed to various places in the city to investigate. It's just that there is still no trace of those murderers. I don't know if this rumor is true or not. ”

Zhu Jun frowned and said, "What's the use of blocking the city gate and the street entrance." Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Wouldn't it disrupt the joy of the festival by stirring up the crowd in this way? The murderer is in the dark. What's the use of your aggressive searches? Make a quick decision. Let all the soldiers return to the camp. ”

"Your Majesty. It is not right to disturb the people. But it was not appropriate to let the soldiers go back to the camp. In the opinion of the micro-minister. The emperor still has to participate in this night's festival. Otherwise, it is a show of weakness to those bandits. It's just that this protection must be done sufficiently. Why don't you transfer all the soldiers in the city except for the soldiers guarding the four gates to the palace ban. With so many soldiers guarding. Those bandits had the audacity to assassinate them. can't hurt the emperor in the slightest. Zhou Mubai supported Zhu Jun to continue to participate in the festival. After all, there are many military horses in the city. It was impossible to assassinate him. If it's just because of a rumor, the court won't come out. I am afraid of laughing at the world.

Hu Yan couldn't help but think when he heard Zhou Mubai's opinion. frowned and thought about it. Then. Yang Side had already stood up and said, "Lord Zhou." The emperor's dragon body is heavy. Even if the chances of being stabbed are only minimal. And don't take any chances. You ask the emperor to continue to participate in the celebration. Is there some intention? ”

This sentence immediately triggered a strong backlash from officials of Zhou Mubai's faction. Someone stood up and said, "Lord Yang said so. But do you want to slander Lord Zhou for collusion with the bandits? If so. Xia Guan also supported the emperor's participation in the celebration. Lord Yang even impeached the lower officials. ”

Someone else stood up and said: "If you support the emperor to participate in the celebration, there is collusion with the bandits." Then Lord Yang hopes that the emperor will persuade him to retreat into the imperial city after hearing the news of chasing the wind and shadows. Isn't he going to trap the emperor in a state of unbelief and injustice? The scheming is so deep. The lower official dared to ask. Does Lord Yang have any conspiracy? ”

I want to support the enthronement of Emperor Yongli back then, and there are ministers from all parties. Officials such as the Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Wall Grass have everything. When the country is in crisis, we can still work together. Now the imperial court has gained a firm foothold in Nanyang. In addition, the three cabinets of the DPRK and China are not in harmony. For a while, I took advantage of this opportunity to make a group attack.

The officials of the Mu and Yang factions insulted Yang Side when they saw the Zhou Party. Yang Side was already angry. Immediately, someone stood up and refuted: "Lord Yang is loyal to the country. In order to exterminate the pirates, he ventured into the pirates. As for Lord Zhou. Hey. I think it was really good when I was a Han general under His Royal Highness the King of Burma. Not only is it disrespectful to the saints. And they have also intensified their extortion. Such unkind, unrighteous, unfaithful, and unbelievers. Even if he colluded with the bandits, it was not entirely a matter of chasing after the wind. ”

Mu Tianbo is already the leader of Mu Yang's party. But he is also the head of the cabinet. Now the two parties have torn their faces in front of the emperor. It actually involved a personal attack. He was afraid that the emperor would blame him. Hurriedly said: "Lord Yang is loyal to the country. Lord Zhou is also the pillar of my Ming Dynasty. Colleagues don't have to fight. Everything is up to the emperor. ”

Only then did the crowd shut up. I didn't notice the anger in Zhu Jun's eyes and the silent Hu Yan who stood by the side and groaned.
