"This comrade, are you a thousand households under the command of which town guard of our embroidered guard? How come I have never met you? Not long after Zhang Shou swore an oath, Zhuge Ming, who looked puzzled, took the initiative to come to the door and interrogate the legendary embroidered guard boss.

The embroidered guards of the Dacheng Dynasty are slightly different from the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty in history, the brocade guards are only the intelligence agencies under the emperor, the emperor investigates what he is interested in, and its core is near the capital, and each province only has a slight manpower arrangement, and it is directly under the control of the capital, so the brocade guard has always been very lacking in intelligence capabilities in real military wars.

But the embroidered guards of the Dacheng Dynasty are really a net that completely covers the entire Dacheng Dynasty, and each state capital has fixed personnel and offices for the embroidered guards. These departments even openly work in the city, but the people who appear inside are all civilian personnel, and the members of the embroidered clothes and guards who really do things are not allowed to be exposed.

Then there is the structure of the embroidered guard, the biggest official of the embroidered guard is the commander of the embroidered guard, the third rank, plus the rank of general, is the military attaché.

Under the command is the town guard, as the name suggests, the meaning of the town guard, each town guard is generally responsible for the work of several provinces of embroidery guards, the power is in hand, and the smell of color changes.

Under the pacification is a thousand households, thousands of households are generally in charge of a government's territory, and under a thousand households is a hundred households, responsible for the affairs of a state, and then there are general flags, small flags, school captains, and the lowest level of embroidered clothes, which together build the entire network of embroidered clothes.

In Zhuge Ming's opinion, if you want to be called a big man in the embroidery guard, you must at least have the level of a thousand households.

Originally, Zhuge Ming thought that only when he reached the level of the pacification envoy could he be qualified to be called a big man, but all the current pacification envoys Zhuge Ming of the embroidered clothes guard had seen it, and there was absolutely no guy called Zhang Shou in front of him, so Zhang Shou was at most the level of a thousand households, the same as Zhuge Ming's current level.

Therefore, Zhuge Ming's attitude towards Zhang Shou was neither respectful nor arrogant, but asked with a fairly equal attitude.

It was Zhang Shou's will to send someone to protect Zhang Ruofei's safety, so Zhang Shou was not puzzled by Zhuge Ming's existence, but said the lines that had been prepared a long time ago, "There are thousands of households in the capital, can Zhuge thousands of households still recognize it?" ”

"Sure enough, it's the noble ...... in the capital" Zhuge Ming muttered, in the beginning, the embroidered clothes guard was a tool used by Taizu to supervise hundreds of officials, and later his authority was expanded to the intelligence of the whole country, and the most important thing is to monitor those martial arts people, beware of these guys with unique skills from rebelling.

Therefore, at first, all the inside of the embroidered guard were elite soldiers, and the one who created the embroidered guard was the top peerless master.

However, with the seizure of power by civil officials, as well as the rotten behavior of some emperors in the later period, and the nowhere to go after the nobles were driven out of the officialdom, the embroidered clothes guard gradually became a garbage dump for those nobles.

But the nobles couldn't find a job, and the emperor couldn't help but keep it, so he could only send the embroidered guard, which was controlled by His Majesty the emperor, and the civil officials could never seize power to occupy a high position, and the salary went to the office, and the capable people could not be reused, but were led by some wine bags and rice bags, which led to the morale of the embroidered guard, which was dealt a fatal blow, and the internal strength fell again and again, and at the worst time, there were only one or two congenital-level masters, and even a larger martial arts sect was not as good.

However, with the ascension of Emperor Jiqing, Mao Yi was recruited at the same time, and then directly promoted to the commander of the embroidered guard, the embroidered guard began to recruit the masters on the rivers and lakes, and at the same time drove those wine bags and rice bags from their positions, which made the embroidered guards gradually recover their combat effectiveness and become a powerful existence with more than a dozen innate masters.

However, Mao Yi didn't dare to offend all the nobles, in the end, these nobles were still staying in the embroidered clothes, receiving the titles and salaries of thousands of households, but they no longer had any real power, and they only operated in the capital.

So there is also a saying that there are thousands of households in the capital, which is used to describe the number of thousands of embroidered households in the capital.

In Zhuge Ming's opinion, this Zhang Shou is obviously also a noble and noble household, and he is very shameless and comes to pick up girls.

So he didn't speak so politely, "Brother Zhang, you and I are both thousands of households, and these words shouldn't have been said by me." But I took the order and tried my best to protect Zhang Ruofei's safety, then I would definitely not be able to take care of Miss Dou E's affairs, and I wouldn't be able to help you at a critical time, once something went wrong, it would all be up to you, brother! ”

"No problem!" When Zhang Shou heard this, he immediately patted his chest and assured, "Miss Dou'e's safety is protected by me, as long as I live, Miss Dou'e will not lose a single hair!" ”

"Okay!" Zhuge Ming nodded and allowed to leave, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Shou grabbed him instead, and then asked curiously, "Brother Zhuge , in fact, I also admire Brother Zhang very much." What kind of person do you think he is these days? ”

"Zhang Ruofei?" Zhuge Ming was really stopped by this question, scratched his head and said, "Probably a lucky reckless man!" ”

Lucky, reckless, and chivalrous, these three words completely constructed Zhuge Ming's impression of Zhang Ruofei, and Zhang Shou nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What does he think of the imperial court?" This is important and has to be figured out! ”

"This ......" Zhuge Ming hesitated for a while, and then said, "His attitude towards the court is very casual, he never seems to take the orders of the court to heart, and likes to act according to his own will!" ”

"Oh......" Zhang Shou's expression changed slightly, and then he heard Zhuge Ming say again, "But he is very loyal to His Majesty!" ”

"How?" Zhang Shou's expression changed again: "How do you know that he is loyal to His Majesty!" ”

"This ......" Zhuge Ming hesitated for a moment, and then said close to Zhang Shou's ear, "In addition to protecting him, I also monitor him every day, and when he was alone, I happened to hear him talking to himself."

"This true virtue was extremely bad at one time, the only one worthy of praise is only an emperor and a saint, but unfortunately the emperor is destined to die early, and the natural saint is destined to be down, and the true virtue is really a tragedy! As long as I am alive in this life, I will keep the emperor, carry out reforms, give hope to the world, and not give wild boar skin any chance" Zhuge Ming said in a low voice, this is a sentence summed up by Zhuge Ming, Zhang Ruofei himself naturally said these things in a rambling manner!

"Doomed to an early death?" Zhang Shou's fist clenched suddenly, and after a long time, he slowly put it down, and then said with a smile, "Did he say how the emperor died?" ”

"Ahem, brother, it's not easy to say, if anyone knows that we are discussing these things, it will kill the head!"

"Just the two of us chatting, God knows you know and I know, can this still reach Your Majesty's ears?" Zhang Shou said disapprehantly.

Zhuge Ming licked his lips, but still said, "He seems to say that His Majesty the Emperor drowned!" ”

"Drowning? Jokes, I ...... His Majesty Zhende can swim at the age of three, how can he drown......" Halfway through his words, Zhang Shou's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

If an emperor who knows how to water ends up drowning, and he drowns under the protection of all the embroidered guards around him, then how did this emperor die, then it is worth discussing and thinking about it.

"Hey......" Zhang Shou sighed slightly, stopped talking to Zhuge Ming, and left on his own.

"It's great to come from the capital!" Zhuge Ming took a sip in his heart, and then returned to Zhang Ruofei's side very dissatisfied.
