The carriage drove onto the avenue.

Wu Xiang kicked the horse's belly, walked to the carriage and asked, "Your Highness, shall we go back to the palace directly?" ”

"Who said that you want to go back to the palace, go directly to the Jinyi Guard Yamen."

Wu Xiang was slightly stunned and asked the coachman to turn the head of the car.

Cao Huachun said angrily: "Your Highness's daughter's body was actually arranged in such a tattered place. According to the minions' wishes, just find someone to deal with the past. ”

Zhu Youzhen slapped him on the head again, "If you really do this, then the young master will not be fooled." ”

"Medium?"

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "The gate is in tatters, the road is muddy, and there is a foul smell everywhere. This is clearly to show the master, so that the master I am disgusted and will not go anymore. ”

Cao Huachun suddenly realized, and said angrily: "These Qiu Ba are really damned, they even calculated His Highness." ”

At this time, the carriage and horse suddenly stopped, Zhu Youzhen opened the curtain, and saw a child being stopped by Wu Xiang.

"What's the matter?"

Wu Xiang arched his hand and said, "My lord, this kid said he had something to say." ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that it was the child who had eaten dim sum before, and nodded, "Let him come." ”

The child looked at Wu Xiang with some fear, and slowly walked over and knelt on the ground.

"Stand up and speak."

Zhu Youzhen was a little helpless, he would never be able to get used to the ancient system with strict hierarchies.

The child said boldly: "My name is Lu Mingsheng, I came here to tell you that the old Captain Jia lied to you, we were forced to be a black household, and the stench of the Fang Road was also deliberately done by Wang Qianhu yesterday when the old Captain Jia." ”

"What do you mean?"

"There is a rule in the guard, we are born to be subordinates, said to be a black household, but in fact they are the servants of the old men of the guard, they can't work, and they can't leave the capital, so they can only rely on the old men of the guard to live."

"Do you mean to say that your household registration falls into the hands of the officials of the guard and is driven by them as slaves?"

The child nodded a little confusedly.

Wu Xiang explained beside him: "My lord, my subordinates have also heard of this rule. In the early days, the guards only drove the guards to work for themselves, but later they became slaves, and the people stayed to work for themselves, and the vacated soldiers would have money, food, and armor, and they would also take it for themselves. ”

"Isn't this just eating empty salaries and drinking soldiers' blood?" Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened.

Wu Xiang nodded a little embarrassedly, this is a well-known thing.

"Lu Mingsheng, what do you want when you tell me this?"

Zhu Youzhen thought he was trying to ask for a reward, but he didn't expect Lu Mingsheng to shake his head.

"Really, nothing?" Zhu Youzhen muttered.

Lu Mingsheng said firmly: "I ate your snacks, and I reminded you in order to repay you, this is a natural thing." ”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Zhu Youzhen looked at this young man in the second middle school, crying and laughing.

Wu Xiang explained: "After Wanli, bandits were rampant everywhere, but the wind of chivalry suddenly rose. In the market, there is a tendency to make friends with good men and squander money with righteousness. ”

Zhu Youzhen inexplicably thought of Shanghai Tang.

However, Lu Mingsheng's secondary school behavior still made Zhu Youzhen understand that the Jinyi Guards and their families in Ping'anfang were all dependent on the officials of the health center to live, and these officials of the health center deliberately wanted to prevent themselves from setting foot in Ping'an Fang.

The group came to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, Tian Ergeng was not there, only Xu Xianchun went out to greet him.

"Your Highness is in such a hurry to come, do you have any orders?"

Xu Xianchun pretended to be confused, and the matter of King Xin's visit to Ping'anfang had been reported by someone just now.

Zhu Youzhen said lightly: "I am the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and it is inconvenient for no one to do things under my subordinates, which is the Jinyiwei Qianhu in charge of the west of the city?" ”

It turned out that he had come to ask for someone.

Xu Xianchun shirked and said: "This matter still needs to be discussed between His Highness and the commander. ”

Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened, "Tian Ergeng is the commander of Jinyiwei, and I am the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and he is not here, so naturally I am in charge." ”

Xu Xianchun said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't know the inside story of Jinyiwei, and your subordinates are afraid that the people below will be disobedient and will collide with Your Highness." Let's wait for the commander to come back. ”

"Disobedient? I would like to see if they are really disobedient or if they don't listen to me. ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness King Xin did not listen to persuasion, Xu Xianchun also had a headache.

"What are you still doing in a daze, don't go quickly."

Xu Xianchun had no choice, frowned and said, "Then the subordinate went to find someone." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the door, wanting to dry this king of letters, and wait until Tian Ergeng came back to make plans.

Walked to the squad room and asked his subordinates to go out to pass on the officials of the Thousand Households, but not to let them come back quickly, but not to come back without their own orders.

After the explanation, Xu Xianchun drank tea leisurely.

A kid who hasn't grown all his hair can deal with it with a little trick himself, so let him wait.

But after half an hour, I heard a report from my subordinates that the officials of the Thousand Households Office in the west of the city had returned.

Xu Xianchun was taken aback, and hurriedly ran to the side hall, only to see that he had indeed arrived.

"How did you guys get back? Didn't I receive my order? Xu Xianchun asked.

Wang Qianhu, who was the leader, said suspiciously: "Didn't you command the envoy to let us come back?" The warrant is here. ”

Xu Xianchun took it and took a look, it was indeed stamped with the mark of the commander.

"The commander is out of the city on business, how can this be his warrant?" Xu Xianchun said in surprise.

"Lord Xu, have you forgotten that Jinyi Wei now has two commanders?"

A faint voice came from behind him, and Xu Xianchun was so frightened that he dropped the warrant on the ground.

Zhu Youzhen stepped forward and picked up the warrant, stared at Xu Xianchun with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "You are so bold, this official asked you to pass on the officials of the Thousand Households in the west of the city to come back, and you dare to disobey the yang and the yin." ”

Xu Xianchun pretended to be calm and said: "My subordinates did send someone to pass the word, but I didn't expect His Highness to summon them back in advance." ”

"Until now, you still dare to be stubborn and bring it up."

Wu Xiang knelt on the ground with two brocade guards, they trembled and were very afraid.

Xu Xianchun saw that his subordinates were arrested, and he was also a little panicked for a while.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly, "If you don't obey the order, you will disobey the yang and yin, and offend the royal family, this king sees that you are too hard and wants this king to loosen your muscles and bones." ”

"Come, take him."

The surrounding Jinyi guards looked at Xu Xianchun, and then at Zhu Youzhen, but they didn't move their hands with their heads down.

Xu Xianchun looked proud.

When Zhu Youzhen saw his order, no one in the Jinyi Guard's yamen responded, and the smile on his face became even more smiling for a while.

"Okay, this king is the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, the Prince of Daming, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, you dare to turn a deaf ear to my orders, it seems that this Jinyiwei is not surnamed Zhu, but changed his surname to Xu. You are not the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, but the courtiers of Xu Xianchun. ”

These words were like thunder, which shocked everyone's hearts, and for a moment everyone felt a chill in their necks, and they knelt on the ground with a pop.

Xu Xianchun was even more frightened, and said urgently to the officials around him: "A bunch of waste, don't you want to believe in the king's orders, do you want to kill Lao Tzu?" ”

Wang Qianhu hurriedly got up and was about to step forward.

"It seems that this king's order is indeed not effective for Lord Xu."

Zhu Youzhen said quietly, everyone was stunned for a while, Wang Qianhu was not entering, nor was he retreating, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Xu Xianchun immediately kowtowed and pleaded: "The subordinates are blinded by lard and offended His Royal Highness King Xin, please punish His Royal Highness King Xin, don't be careful." ”

"Are you begging the king for punishment now?" Zhu Youzhen looked at him with a smile.

Xu Xianchun gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." ”

"In that case, pull it out and beat it with thirty sticks." Zhu Youzhen looked at all the officials, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other.
