The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven and the most prosperous place in the Central Plains.

There are many dignitaries and dignitaries here, and a random inconspicuous old man on the street may be a certain senior member of the court, or the father of a certain senior official.

Those ordinary people who have neither backing nor grade in the capital are naturally much more careful than other places.

However, even so, the capital is still the most stable place in the Central Plains, not only is there no banditry here, but there is not even a gang, of course, except for the Yan family gang founded by Miss Yan.

The stability of the capital is all due to the Jinghuwei, a team that has been established since the beginning of the dynasty.

There were 10,000 people in the Jinghuwei, most of whom were composed of good men selected from the military ranks in various places, and although the number was large, they were not under the control of the military department, but were directly responsible for the emperor.

In addition to the common 100 households and 1,000 outdoors, there are also eight lieutenants in charge of different affairs.

For example, an infantry lieutenant has three thousand households under his command and is in charge of three thousand infantry; the cavalry captain, under his command are two thousand households, in charge of two thousand light cavalry; Captain Longbow is in charge of a thousand archers.

In addition, there are also Tunjia Lieutenants who are responsible for heavy cavalry, Shui Qu Lieutenants who are responsible for the Navy, and so on.

Due to the disparity in the number of soldiers and their duties, although the eight captains have the same title, their military positions are 108,000 miles apart.

Among them, the two hottest ones are naturally the infantry captain and the cavalry captain who are divided into 5,000 people, both of whom are from the rank of the fourth rank.

Although it is from the fourth grade, the officials in the capital have always been half a grade higher than the officials in other places, so these two are enough to act as a feudal official in any place.

As for the remaining few, except for a certain captain who is not on the stage, the rest of them are all military positions with a status comparable to that of a thousand households.

……

There are four gates in the capital, east, west, north and south, all of which are guarded by the captain of the Zhengliupin gatekeeper who cannot go on the stage.

A hundred officers and soldiers were allocated to each gate, and only 400 men were given to this captain in total, and this was still given more for the sake of his father's face.

The captain of the gate is named Wang San, although he has nothing to do with the royal family in charge of the dynasty, but he can be regarded as a prominent family.

Wang San's father's name is Wang Xishan, a soldier who is a soldier of the Eight Classics, and the official worships the three products, and there is a faint upward trend.

The eldest brother Wang Taoluo, as his name suggests, Wen Taowu is both wise and brave, and he is a thousand households of five products, stationed along the northern route.

The second sister Wang Yingsi, a talented girl who is famous in the capital, once won the queen's blue eyes because of a song "Pear Blossom Sigh", and was exceptionally promoted to a female official.

Even that brother-in-law was a tanhua of the last scientific expedition, and after marrying Wang Yingsi, the second sister of Wang San, he became the companion of the current prince under the recommendation of his father-in-law.

Although the companion reading looks inconspicuous, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the time of the saint is running out today, and once the saint dies, the crown prince, as the only bloodline of the emperor, is the candidate to succeed the emperor.

A person who has attained the Tao of the chicken dog ascends to heaven, as a companion to the Tanhualang, will naturally become the right-hand man of the new emperor, and his achievements will even surpass his squire and father-in-law......

Maybe it's because the name is a little more casual, even if he is full of talents, Wang San is still a dou who can't be supported.

He didn't like to read when he was young, he couldn't learn literature, his body was weak and he couldn't endure hardship, and he couldn't learn martial arts, plus he was the youngest son in the family, so he was loved more after all, and finally developed the habit of being lazy and lazy.

Wang Xishan has worked hard for this unsuccessful son.

First of all, he asked the relationship to find a clerical job in the palace, but he beat the government within a few days, although the government is only an official worship of the five products, but there is a sister who is a mother in the palace.

Even if Wang Xishan is a third-grade waiter, he still has to pull down his face to apologize to others, and in the end, he put a lot of silver inside and outside before the matter can be counted.

The civil service is not good, and the father transferred him to the military position, but after a few days, this loser was disgusted with no oil and water, patted his ass and left.

The soldier who was over fifty years old was so angry that he almost turned his back on him, and he wanted to beat this unscrupulous man to death, but the whip in his hand was raised for a long time, and he was reluctant to fight.

Wang Shilang had no choice but to cheekily enter the palace to ask for a job as a gatekeeper for his son, and the eldest son Wang Taoluo happened to go home to save his relatives.

I thought that this guy would be tired after working for a few days, but I didn't think that this work would be five years.

The officers and soldiers defending the city are bitter and tired, and they often stand for several hours at a time, and it stands to reason that a gentleman like Wang San is determined to be unable to stay, but he can't stand this live oil and water, and how many people can't do it if they want to.

The capital is prosperous in commerce, and goods have to pass through four city gates, and the capital has always been strict with the inventory of goods, as long as the soldiers guarding the gate feel that there is a problem, they will go forward and rummage through.

Porcelain and satin, which are precious things like gold, are basically dirty and broken by them, so they don't want to sell them, and as for furs, they are simpler and more direct, and they will directly pull them away and "destroy" them on the grounds of carrying fleas.

As the saying goes, the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, and those businessmen who have no power, no power and no reliance can only break their wealth and avoid disasters, and "voluntarily" hand over filial piety money, which saves them from being checked.

In five years, Wang San went from a gatekeeper to a gatekeeper, although he was still looked down upon by several other captains, but only he knew the money in his pocket, even if he was given a first-class university scholar, he was unwilling to change it.

……

On this day, Wang San rarely came to the city gate once, and there was nothing else to do, just chatting and farting with his subordinates, and at that moment, he saw a man in a big blue satin in the distance riding a horse.

There were many dignitaries in the capital, even if the satin was luxurious, it couldn't attract Wang San's attention, so he just glanced at it, then turned his head and continued to discuss with his subordinates which kiln sister had a big ass.

The man dressed in blue satin knew the rule that horses were not allowed in Beijing, and when he reached the door, he dismounted.

When the man led the horse past Wang San, Wang San subconsciously glanced at it, and this glance made him stunned on the spot.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

It wasn't until the man was far away that Wang San was awakened by his subordinates, and he was stunned and said:

"The one just now is the second prince."

"What? Didn't the second prince go to Jiangnan to become a vassal? ”

This subordinate is obviously not a master who is ignorant of the world, the dynasty has an iron law, and without a holy decree, the vassal king is not allowed to leave the domain at will, let alone enter Beijing, otherwise he will be punished for rebellion.

What a pawn knows, Wang San naturally knows, he muttered to himself:

"I'm afraid the capital is going to change......"

……

He entered the city, headed east, and stopped when he passed a bakery.

"Boss, let's have two baked cakes."

"Okay!"

The owner of the baked cake stall was born five big and three thick, nearly seven feet tall, and looked a head taller than Wang Zhide, who was not low.

"The boss's baked cakes are so fragrant, I smell hungry."

"That is, as soon as our baked cakes are opened, the whole street can smell the fragrance."

The boss boasted about himself, and Wang Zhide smiled silently.

After the two baked cakes were wrapped, Wang Shande took the baked cakes with one hand and handed over four copper plates with the other.

The owner of the baked cake stall was obviously stunned when he saw the copper plate.

"What, not enough?"

"Enough is enough."

As he spoke, the five big and three thick men picked up the copper plate.

As he led his horse down the street, he opened the oiled paper bag, and then ate it without hesitation.

After a while, a hundred light horsemen rushed with dust, led by the captain of the Jinghu Guard Cavalry, and the group surrounded Wang Zhide, who was still shopping and enjoying the scenery.

The cavalry captain arched his hand, "Please follow me into the palace." ”

Wang Zhide looked at the dust-stained baked cake in his hand and frowned silently.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is invited."

Seeing that the other party did not answer, the cavalry captain spoke again.

"Got it." The king returned coldly.

The group soon marched to the gate of the palace, and the guards led by Zou Shun, the commander of the Ouchi, brought Wang Zhide to the imperial study.

Looking at the appearance of everyone waiting for battle, the corners of Wang Zhide's mouth hooked a smile of unknown meaning.

……

"Wang Zhide, you really want to rebel."

In the imperial study, the emperor looked at the prince kneeling at the foot of the stairs with an angry face.

"Brother Dare."

Wang Zhide lowered his head so that he couldn't lower it any longer, and his entire upper body was almost prostrate on the ground.

"And what else you don't dare?

Anton Wei, you and the bandits besieged the guard post and took the opportunity to rob the court's 200 firearms. Kaipingwei, you exchanged three concubines for a thousand households Li Jiazhuang who is good at using soldiers, and you took away a fortune teller.

You don't know all this, I don't know? ”

The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, he was already furious, and directly threw a teacup in front of the other party.

"I ask myself if I treat you well.

You forced my mother to death, I just let you go to the domain, and I didn't make it difficult for you, but you repeatedly challenged my bottom line.

You have just been to Yingtianfu for a year, and the military and government are so focused there that even the secret guards can't get involved in it, and I really don't know whether to praise or scold you.

Even so, I still turn a blind eye, but you are still not satisfied, recruiting talents everywhere, and now you have extended your tentacles to the capital.

You're so daring! ”

Wang Zhide still prostrate on the ground, not saying a word.

The Emperor pointed his trembling finger at the other party, and after a long time, continued:

"Wang Zhide, do you really think that I dare not kill you?"

"The younger brother is guilty."

This half-prince who is the emperor's tone is extremely sincere at this moment.

"Come on, put King Deshun in the prison, and after finding out his crime of rebellion, he will be beheaded on a certain day!"

No matter how good-tempered the emperor is, he can't stand such a provocation from the other party, and repeatedly tolerating it will only worsen it.

After the guards took Wang Zhide away from the imperial study, the emperor's gloomy face eased a little, and after a long time, he spoke in a deep voice:

"Snake, who did Wang Zhide see after entering the city?"

"Back to the saint, the second prince passed by a baked cake stall, bought two baked cakes, and chatted with the boss for a few words."

"Baked cake stand? Where is the boss now? ”

"Your Majesty, since I met the second prince, I have disappeared."

"Can't even you find out?" The Emperor frowned.

"The villain is incompetent."

……

"Father, I heard that you are looking for a son?"

At this time, the door of the imperial study was pushed open, and the prince in a big red python robe walked in.

With the appearance of the crown prince, the secret guard whose real name is Yu Mu also disappeared with interest.

The crown prince Wang Qianwen was only canonized last year.

Wang Qianwen followed his father, was courteous and courteous, put benevolence and righteousness first in everything, although he was only fourteen years old, but after studying with the emperor for a year, he already had his own understanding of the way of governing the country.

A few months ago, I wrote an article called "Governing Officials", in which the views were concise and concise, pointing directly to the shortcomings of the current officials, and put forward twelve strategies for rectification.

Although these twelve strategies are a little young, there is still a lack of thinking, but it is not easy to have such a vision at a young age.

The article "Governing Officials" made many officials in the court admire it, and some people even issued a sigh that "the dynasty has three generations of monarchs, but there are four generations of Ming monarchs".

Although there is no shortage of suspicions of sloppy slapping horses, it does prove the talent of this prince.

……

"Wen'er, come here."

Wang Zhixian instructed his son, who obediently stepped forward.

Looking at his son's hands hidden behind his back, the emperor shook his head, and after reaching out to wipe the dirt from the other party's cheeks, he said softly:

"Wen'er, you are already the crown prince, one day your father is gone, you will be the king of a country, don't be greedy anymore."

Wang Qianwen nodded, and took out his hands holding the clay sculpture from behind his back, "Father, this is pinched according to your appearance, does it look like it?" ”

Wang Zhixian smiled and nodded, not too dirty, and directly reached out to take the clay sculpture.

The son in front of him is indeed playful, but his brain is clever and he learns things quickly, which saves Wang Zhixian, who is a father, a lot of heart.

……

"Wen'er, if someone wants to rebel, what should I do?"

Wang Quanquan suddenly had a serious face and looked at the crown prince opposite.

"Those who conspire against it will be killed." Wang Qianwen's answer was very crisp.

"What if this man is your uncle?" The Emperor continued.

"This ......"

The prince was in trouble for a while.

Seeing this, the emperor frowned and said solemnly:

"No matter who it is, as long as they have the idea of rebellion, they will be killed!"

"The sons and daughters obey the teachings of their father."

……

After the crown prince left, the emperor, who was less than forty, sighed deeply, as if he had suddenly aged a lot.

"This kid is too kind, and it may not be a good thing to go on like this."

Emperor Xian'en muttered to himself, and then he seemed to remember something again, revealing a wry smile, "If it were him, what would he do?" ”

……

"Die, you have to kill me!"

Wang Quanquan pointed to a big mosquito between Park Wen's fingers and said.

Although I have long heard that there are many poisonous insects in the southwest, I only know what it means to be terrible when I really encounter it.

The slap-sized mosquito sucks the king's face with a single bite.

Just now he was taking a nap, and he felt something fall on his face, he thought it was a leaf or something, so he didn't take it seriously.

But then he felt a tingling pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a large mosquito floating in front of him.

Wang Quanquan, who realized that something was wrong, wanted to catch it, but the mosquito was surprisingly agile, and he didn't catch it for a long time, but Park Wen on the side was quick and pinched the mosquito's wings at once.

Wang Quanquan looked at the mosquito's wings with black spots, and only felt a tingling on his scalp, no need to think about it, this thing must be poisonous.

"Quick, kill it."

The king said busily.

Jiang Xiucheng on the side gloated at this time:

"It's your blood flowing through it, you really can't bear it?"

"Don't talk about the wind and cold, it's not you who gets bitten."

Wang Quanquan touched his already bulging cheeks and said, this mosquito lacking morality, neither side of his face fell.

Thinking of this, Wang Quanquan became even more angry, and directly took the big mosquito and threw it on the ground and stepped on it.

With a "chirp", blood splattered, and his face became even more ugly.

Ah Cha on the side handed over a porcelain vase and said:

"This ointment can detoxify insects, you can rub some, or it will be itchy and painful, and it will be swollen like steamed buns at night."

Wang Quanquan hurriedly took it when he heard this, and applied it to his face while thanking him, not to mention, rubbing it was cool and cool, although it did not reduce the swelling, but he felt a lot more at ease.

"There is less than a day left, let's pack up and get ready to go, and then have a good rest when we get to our destination."

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, the king gave an order, and after saying that, he went into the woods alone.

Wang Quanquan whistled while finishing the water, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw an old man staring straight at him, and he suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

This old man can't be a pervert, right?
