Chapter 39: Men change their clothes
Military parade is a common way and method to display the prestige of the country and the army, and is one of the effective means to deter hostile forces at home and abroad, to deter hostile forces, it is necessary to show the strong combat capability of the armed forces of one's own country, and the first condition is to invite representatives of other countries to come and watch, and it is even more indispensable if it is a hostile country, and there are no representatives of other countries to participate in the viewing, who do you deter?
Therefore, the military parade mentioned by Zhu Youzhen does not have the elements that constitute a military parade, and can only be said to be an inspection of the combat readiness of the troops, or an inspection of the combat capability of the troops.
But Zhu Youzhen said that it was a military parade, that is, a military parade, and everyone understood what Zhu Youzhen meant.
Of course, Li Guozhen also knew what Zhu Youzhen meant, Zhu Youzhen wanted to inspect the troops, but he didn't dare to object, and the opposition aroused Zhu Youzhen's suspicions, "The ministers asked the emperor, what are the contents of the inspection?" ”
"What are you inspecting?" , Zhu Youzhen glanced at Li Guozhen.
Lao Tzu just wants to see what you have brought the third battalion of Gyeonggi into, is it that what Zhang Ping said are all old and weak soldiers who have no combat effectiveness at all? Lao Tzu also wants to know how much water you mixed in it, who has fooled Lao Tzu, this is an excuse, do you know? If you really bring the troops to Lao Tzu, I will arrest you on the spot, do you know?
"You discuss with Zhang Jinyan of the Ministry of War, and let Zhang Jinyan report it."
After saying this, Zhu Youzhen announced the end of the early dynasty.
Li Guozhen was a little dumbfounded.
Following Zhu Youzhen out of the back door of Jianji Palace, just entering the Qianqing Gate, Zhang Ping said to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, the minister went to see the Queen Mother, and there was something important to tell the Queen Mother." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhu Youzhen's reply, Zhang Ping ran through the Yuehua Gate.
Zhu Youzhen smiled and didn't say anything, he could see that this kid was not a person of this generation since he was a child, so he didn't develop the habit of abiding by the rules of this era, mother! Do you know if the palace is that place, without the consent of the male host, you can enter if you want, and the innocence of the royal blood is still guaranteed?
In the past, Zhu Youzhen was very particular, and rules were an important means to maintain the authority of the Heavenly Family, and now, he still thinks so, but he doesn't care if Zhang Ping is not disciplined.
In the case of Li Jiantai, Zhu Youzhen had already prepared, so he did not go all out in the court today as he did in the past.
At that time, he was extremely angry, but after retreating from the court, there was nothing, or Zhang Ping was right, you didn't pay for your life when you were angry, did you come over angry? Walking on the road and thinking carefully, he felt that this was an opportunity, and if Li Jiantai had been wandering outside, it would be difficult to have a reason to completely rectify the dynasty.
It's just that Zhu Youzhen is worried that if the military parade finds out that Li Guozhen is also unforgivable, and the civil and military forces are all opened, will the movement be too big? The situation we are facing now is not good.
But Zhu Youzhen is a strong person, and he immediately made up his mind to get it! One hammer will solve all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who do not do anything.
Before he walked to the Qianqing Palace, Wang Chengen came over, and he ran out of breath, "Your Majesty, the investigation is over, it's really eight big boxes, and they haven't been opened yet, what should I do?" ”
Zhu Youzhen knew what Wang Chengen meant, the inner library was hidden, and there was nothing left, "Just hand it over to the household department." ”
Zhu Youzhen suddenly had a new feeling, it's good to be rich.
Zhang Ping ran to Cining Palace, Zhang Yan was watering the flowers, and several palace maids were talking together, all smiling.
Zhang Yan hasn't done this kind of work for two years, and after breakfast today, the first thing that comes to mind is watering the flowers.
She didn't know why she wanted to play with flowers today.
Zhang Ping hurriedly ran over, Zhang Yan was a little surprised, "Boy, what's wrong?" ”
"Something is wrong! Today, my grandfather went to court, and it is estimated that he will enter the palace in a while. ”
Zhang Yan immediately understood, "Let's go!" Go into the study. ”
At the east end of the main hall of Cining Palace, there is a room that is transparent from north to south, and Zhang Ping roughly estimated that there are at least fifty square meters.
There are large chairs and coffee tables in the study, and there are no books, which is obviously the place where Zhang Yan receives people to talk casually.
"Xuan'er, what do you think?"
"Well, my experience, right? It's a bit appalling, and it's not appropriate for everyone to know, the Queen Mother, you said that I was an orphan who escaped when Kaifeng was flooded, and I fled to the capital and began to run errands for the emperor. ”
Zhang Yan thought for a moment, "That's the only way." ”
Then, Zhang Yan asked, "How about He Qinglian?" ”
Zhang Ping was a little embarrassed, "We lived together yesterday." ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan smiled when she heard it, "That's right, the mourning family told you, and the mourning family suddenly remembered another one and sent it to you today." ”
Zhang Ping was immediately stunned, my mother! Is the Queen Mother addicted, it's endless.
"Mom, Mom, listen to me, don't, you do it like this, what do you make Qinglian think?"
Zhang Yan grinned, "You fell in love with that girl in one night?" Not bad! Not bad! It seems that the mourning family did not choose the wrong one, I say to you, the other one you will also like, it is no worse than Qinglian. ”
"Don't!" , Zhang Ping is so depressed, what does this mother want to do? There are a lot of girls in the palace, can't you give them all to me? If that's the case, I'm not the same as Li Jiantai? I told the Queen Mother that it is nothing for a daughter-in-law to have more or less, the key is not to wear green.
"What else? You don't have to worry about this, how is today's early dynasty? ”
Seeing Zhang Yan ask, Zhang Ping told him in detail what happened in the early dynasty.
Zhang Yan nodded, "Hmm!" Not bad! This is an opportunity, if you don't get rid of the traitors, you won't be able to do anything in the future, and it seems that the emperor has changed and dared to do a big job. ”
Zhang Ping grinned, "Of course, you have money!" ”
Hearing Zhang Ping say this, Zhang Yan laughed, "You kid, you don't speak seriously, be careful to let the emperor hear it, don't say this in the future." ”
While the two were talking, Yang Mingqi knocked on the door and came in, "Taikang Hou is here, asking to see the Queen Mother." ”
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, "Please!" ”
When Yang Mingqi went out, Zhang Yan smiled and said: "You kid has a lot of eyes, thanks to our discussion, or there is really no way to explain to Hou Ye." ”
Zhang Yan had just walked to the main hall of the main hall, and Taikang waited for Zhang Guoji to come in, "Minister Taikang waited for Zhang Guoji to meet the Queen Mother." ”
Zhang Guoji is sixty years old this year, his beard is gray, and he is also a handsome old man at first glance.
Is that for sure? With a daughter like Zhang Yan, can my father's appearance be worse?
Seeing her father, Zhang Yan was really happy, and stretched out her hand to pull Zhang Guoji up, "There are no outsiders, so this set of gifts will be waived in the future." ”
Then Zhang Yan blessed Zhang Guoji, "My daughter has seen her father." ”
This is the rule of this era, Zhang Guoji must first salute Zhang Yan, and then Zhang Yan salute Zhang Guoji.
Zhang Ping kowtowed to Zhang Guoji, "Boy Zhu Cixuan visits grandpa!" ”
Zhang Guoji hurriedly pulled Zhang Ping up, "Child, no courtesy, no courtesy." ”
If this is on a formal occasion, Zhang Ping wants to say that the Governor of the Left Capital of the Chinese Army has seen the Marquis of Taikang.
Zhang Ping took the teapot in the hands of a palace maid and poured it for Zhang Yan and Zhang Guoji.
Zhang Yan smiled and spoke first, "Yesterday, our mother and wife also said that they would visit Taikang Hou and the old lady!" ”
Hearing Zhang Yan talk about the two of us, Zhang Guoji felt that the situation was not what Emperor Zhu Youzhen introduced in the court.
Zhang Ping knew that Zhang Guoji and Zhang Yan would definitely talk about their own affairs, and it was inconvenient for him to be in front of him, so he gave Zhang Guoji a salute, "Grandpa, the emperor is waiting for me in the Qianqing Palace, you talk to the Queen Mother, I'm going to run an errand." ”
After speaking, Zhang Ping said to Zhang Yan again: "Mother, the child has gone to the Qianqing Palace." ”
Zhang Yan smiled: "Go!" Go ahead! ”
After Zhang Ping left, Zhang Guoji became serious, "Yan, what's the matter with this kid?" Is he from our Zhang family? Who's from? Why don't you recognize your father? ”
Zhang Guoji's hometown is in Zhangjiazhuang, Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and almost all the people in this Zhuangzi are surnamed Zhang, and it is said that he was originally an old ancestor.
At this time, Zhang Yan already had a new plan, Zhang Ping, this kid must be a member of his Zhang family, "Isn't that the grandson of Zhang Shun's family in the east of the village who is doing business in Kaifeng?" ”
"Zhang Shun's grandson?"
"Hmm!"
Zhang Guoji thought for a while, "Hey! It turns out that this is the case, this Zhang Shun's family is doing business in Kaifeng, and they don't often go back to the village, we have been away from our hometown for so many years, and I almost can't remember it for my father, so to speak, this child is really a member of our Zhang family, what happened to Zhang Shun? I heard that Kaifeng is submerged. ”
"Just run out of this kid alone."
Zhang Guoji sighed, "Zhang Shun has a future, this kid is also very competitive, he has already done things for the emperor when he heard what the emperor said, saved Zhou Yuji, and made a lot of great contributions, which is really amazing!" ”
"Isn't that right? Why else does the emperor like this child so much? The mourning family can be regarded as having a queen. ”
As soon as Zhang Yan said this, Zhang Guoji smiled, his daughter was the queen first, a generation of national mothers, and it was a pity that she had no children.
"I've been busy these days, and my daughter will take Xuan'er to visit the old lady in two days."
Zhang Guoji was overjoyed, "Good! Good! Send someone to notify you in advance, and our family will have a good day, hehe! Maybe your mother will come to the palace tomorrow. ”
Zhang Yan also smiled, "My daughter misses her mother too." ”
……
Coming out of Cining Palace, Zhang Ping went to Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Youzhen was having breakfast.
"Sit down and have breakfast with me."
"No, the emperor, the minister has already eaten."
"You just ran to the Queen Mother to eat, right?"
"No, the minister knew the rules of the early dynasty and didn't want to run back and forth, so he came to the court after breakfast."
"Oh, your head is smart, I thought you were hungry, so where did you go to the Queen Mother to eat?"
"How can you!"
Zhu Youzhen put down his chopsticks and waved his hand, and the eunuchs who were waiting immediately went out.
"Cixuan, what kind of people do you think can be dug up from Li Jiantai?"
Zhang Ping thought for a while, "I'm afraid there are a lot, I'm afraid there are countless officials involved, who gave Li Jiantai so much silver?" What did these people who gave Li Jiantai money seek? These people must be investigated clearly and dealt with seriously, but they must be weighed before making a decision, and the situation should not be too big. Since Li Jiantai collects money, naturally he will also give money to others, who is it for? I'm afraid I have to figure it out too. One thing is certain, the emperor can replace all the courtiers who should be replaced through this incident, so that the seats will be made for loyal courtiers, and the emperor will have fewer constraints to develop his ambitions in the future, and everything will be smooth. ”
Zhu Youzhen was happy, "That's right! What about the military parade? ”
"It's hard to say, what kind of character Li Guozhen is, the minister doesn't know much, if the minister is Li Guozhen, he would kneel in front of the emperor at this time and ask for guilt, but he didn't come."
"Wouldn't it be what you say?"
"It would be nice if it wasn't what the minister said, and the minister speculated that Li Guozhen was going to play some trick to fool the emperor."
"He dares!"
Zhang Ping smiled, "You will know after the parade, the emperor should not underestimate the courage of these." ”
Zhu You looked at the roof of the main hall, "I also hope that he has lived up to me." ”
Zhang Ping smiled and didn't speak, Zhu Youzhen, I'm afraid your wish will be disappointed.
"The minister has something to ask."
"You speak."
"When the minister came, he brought twenty personal guards, and the emperor wanted to parade the army, and the minister wanted to take them to escort him. In addition, the intelligence bureau is about to operate, and what foreign clothes to wear must also be approved by the emperor. ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Ping, "What is your opinion?" ”
"The minister's idea is that in the future, the officers of the intelligence bureau can wear civilian clothes as much as possible, but sometimes they still have to wear uniforms, and the minister feels that out of secrecy, the uniforms of the intelligence bureau should not be too conspicuous, so the minister suggested that the people of the intelligence bureau wear the same clothes as Jinyiwei, and whether it is appropriate to not show the mountains and water, please ask the emperor to decide."
Zhu Youzhen asked: "In your original era, what clothes did the people from the Intelligence Bureau wear?" ”
Zhang Ping thought to himself, your mother! Zhu Youzhen, Lao Tzu is a graduate student of the Department of History, how can he know so much, "At that time, the Intelligence Bureau belonged to the army series, and they all wore military uniforms. ”
"Then let the Intelligence Agency wear a Flying Fish suit."
"Obey! Now, the people brought by the ministers are still wearing a variety of costumes, and they will escort the emperor for a while, which is too ugly. ”
"Do you want to give them a change of clothes right away?"
"Yes!"
"What are you still grinding around here? Hurry up and find Jinyiwei. ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Ping was so happy that he left the Qianqing Palace and came to the noon gate, gathered twenty brothers, and rode directly to the headquarters of Jinyiwei.
The full name of Jinyi Wei is called Jinyi Pro-Army Command Envoy, located in the west of the Right Army Governor's Office, and enters the West Symbiosis Gate to the south and west of the road.
Just now, why did Zhang Ping ask Zhu Youjian what clothes the people of the Intelligence Bureau would wear in the future, the reason is that wearing ordinary military uniforms does not show the importance of the Intelligence Bureau, and the quality of the clothes is too low. Therefore, Zhang Ping wanted all the people in the Intelligence Bureau to wear the same flying fish suits as Jinyiwei.
There are three major advantages of this, one is that the clothing is high-grade, the clothes are energetic, and the brothers are motivated, the second is that what is lacking is directly from Jinyiwei, and the province has to run a garment factory, and the third is that they wear the same clothes as Jinyiwei to cover their identities, and no one knows that they are from the Intelligence Bureau.
At this time, Luo Yangxing was sent by Zhu Youzhen to Tianjin to supervise military affairs, and the daily affairs of Jinyiwei were just promoted to Wu Mengming.
Wu Mengming's superiors have two people, one is Luo Yangxing, and the other is Wang Guoxing, the commander of Xincheng Houdu.
When Wu Mengming participated in the early dynasty, he already knew who Zhang Ping was, so he hurried out to greet him, and his attentive energy was a bit of a ditch walk.
Just now, Wu Mengming was holding a meeting to study the deployment of the emperor Zhu Youzhen to review the escort of the troops.
Zhang Ping didn't like to deal with Wu Mengming, and directly said that he came to order clothes for his subordinates on the order of the emperor.
Who is Zhang Ping? The son of the Queen Mother, Wu Mengming didn't dare to ask who would lead the army, and immediately ordered to open the military clothing storehouse.
This guy understands that he can't afford to offend Zhang Ping.
Li Xiaoshan and others changed their clothes directly in the Jinyiwei compound, and Zhang Ping said that it was not suitable to just change.
Buddha relies on gold clothes, people rely on clothes, the appearance of Li Xiaoshan and others who changed into flying fish clothes immediately changed, if they didn't speak, no one knew that they were from the ravine of Shanxi.
Subsequently, Zhang Ping also asked Wu Mengming to distribute embroidered spring knives to everyone. This embroidered spring knife is light and sharp, but it is much stronger than Li Xiaoshan's original various weapons, and Li Xiaoshan and the others are simply happy.
Zhang Ping went to participate in the early dynasty, Li Xiaoshan and others also fought with the Jinyi guard who guarded the door, and began to take advantage, and later suffered a loss, the Jinyi guard had backup, when the officers of the Jinyi guard had to let go after Li Xiaoshan and others were tried, because Li Xiaoshan and others were indeed Zhang Ping's personal guards, and they had no other intentions to break into the palace, but they just followed the governor of the capital and wanted to enter the palace to see.
But the Jinyi guard officer wondered, why did the queen mother's righteous son find a bunch of such things as guards? But people are indeed Zhang Ping's followers, and they can't believe it.
