Chapter 15: Don't dare to play with muskets anymore

At this time, Zhu Youzhen was only 16 years old, thin and looked a little immature.

Since he left the palace of the king of letters, until now, he has hardly said a word.

"Imperial sister-in-law, I don't know much about the situation in the palace, it's up to you to decide!"

Zhang Yan hesitated for a long time, and said: "That Wang Ergou looks cynical, but he is quite scheming;

It's all up to him to lead Jinyiwei to the Treasure Money Division, and you can enter the palace smoothly! ”

Zhu Youzhen kept nodding, and Zhang Yan continued: "Except for him, I have no credible person!"

Since this is the case, please ask the imperial uncle to be wronged in the Qin'an Palace for a few days, and still have Wang Ergou as your escort, you should be able to rest assured! ”

"Everything, respectfully arranged by the imperial sister-in-law!"

"For now, that's all it can be!" Zhang Yan sighed helplessly, and remembered another thing:

"The palace maids and eunuchs who serve are better to use the people who believe in the palace! You write a list of your trust, and I'll ask Wang Ergou to pick people up!

Until then, you stay in Kunning Palace for the time being, and no one dares to touch you! ”

"Respectfully the arrangement of the imperial sister-in-law!"

In front of Zhang Yan, Zhu Youzhen is indeed respectful.

However, although he is young, he has a deep city government and scheming!

He knew that Wei Zhongxian and Ke Yinyue were the biggest threat to him!

He also knew that the top and bottom of the court, inside and outside the palace, and the surroundings of King Xin's mansion were all Wei Zhongxian's eyes and ears!

When he first entered the palace, Wei Zhongxian bowed his head to Wang Li, and he saw it all!

Wei Zhongxian personally sent Wang Li a "baby", and he also saw it with his own eyes!

All this, although I don't know why, Zhu Youzhen has an intuition: At this moment, only Wang Li is trustworthy!

……

In the past few years, Zhu Youxiao has been staying in Xinwangfu and almost never goes out.

The government and the opposition almost forgot the existence of this king of letters.

Even though the Jinyi guards are all over the capital, they ......

Zhu Youzhen's personality and preferences, Wei Zhongxian has no information!

If you don't make a move, King Xin's ascension to the throne is inevitable!

At that time, he is likely to reopen the old case!

Each one of them is enough to kill yourself!

If you want to pinch him as much as you want, Wei Zhongxian is really not sure!

Knowing that Wang Li had gone to the Xinwang Mansion again, Wei Zhongxian couldn't hold his breath anymore.

So, among the "Five Tigers", Tian Ji, Wu Chunfu, Li Kuilong, and Ni Wenhuan,

and Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Yunhe, Yang Huan and Cui Yingyuan of the "Five Biao", all of whom were recalled to the palace.

"Father-in-law! Now that King Xin has entered the palace, we can't wait for Wang Ergou any longer! That guy can't be trusted! ”

"Father-in-law! Don't do it, don't do it!

Once the Lord dies, let's block the news immediately!

Then, get rid of King Shin right away!

Create another holy decree and continue to exchange our tanuki for the prince! ”

"Alas, I didn't want to take this step, but I had to!

That's it! Since the queen is stubborn, let her not be left!

Whoever is obedient, our family will help her to be the queen mother! ”

……

The forbidden army of the Ming Dynasty during the period of Tianqi and Chongzhen was divided into the "Beijing Battalion" of the garrison of the Beijing Division, and the "Shangzhi Twenty-six Guards" of the garrison of the imperial city.

At the beginning, there were only 12 guards in the "Shangzhi Twenty-six Guards", including the left and right guards of Yanshan, the left and right guards of the government army, the Tiger Ben Guards and the Jinyi Guards, and so on.

After the Battle of Jingyan, the 12 guards were successively expanded to 26 guards, of which the "Yanshan Right Guard" was changed to the Jinwu Right Guard, which was responsible for garrisoning the west of the imperial city;

At that time, in addition to serving as a guard, the Jinyi guard also served as a guard of honor, arrest, and prison.

The East Investigation Factory, established in Yongle for 18 years, is equivalent to a privileged supervisory agency, a secret service and a secret police agency, and its power is above that of Jinyiwei.

At the beginning, the East Factory was personally commanded by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, and later by a trusted eunuch as the leader.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei merged with the East and West Factories to form the East Factory, collectively referred to as "Factory Guard";

During the Ming Qi period, when Wei Zhongxian was in charge of the East Factory, the core personnel of the "factory guard" had expanded to more than 10,000 people, all over the country.

At this time, Jinwu's right guard is still one of the imperial guards, and his strength is definitely not as good as the "factory guard".

Even so, Wei Zhongxian understands his identity!

From beginning to end, he just wanted to be a "house slave" and never wanted to covet the throne.

Therefore, Wang Li led Jin Wuwei to and from the palace, and Wei Zhongxian's "factory guards" could only avoid it from afar, and did not dare to look for trouble.

This time, Wang Li was still riding a tall horse.

But there is no novelty of "being a general" for the first time, and there is no detour.

On the way, he became interested in the muskets of the guards.

"Hey! Sample! Play with your bird! ”

"Don't look at it, just talk about you!"

The guards hesitated, but they didn't dare to disobey the order.

So, he respectfully sent the bird gun to Wang Li.

This bird gun is about more than a meter long, with a door at the back and a star at the front, which is basically like a rifle.

However, it is still ignited by a medicine rope, and the workmanship is very rough.

Wang Li was a little disappointed, but he still "fired a shot" to play.

"Brother, can this thing be fired?"

Wang Li asked "can it be launched", but the guard understood what he meant, and handed over a fire fold.

The guards are so generous, and Wang Li is not ambiguous.

After a little pondering, I immediately understood the use of the fire fold.

He blew on it with his mouth and slowly approached the medicine rope......

At this time, in front of the left side of the team, there were several eunuchs, leading a few brocade guards to "collect taxes"!

The targets of the tax were several strong men who were street performers.

"This official, we just paid the tax, why do we have to pay the tax again?"

"This street is Grandpa Cui's territory! No matter how much tax you pay, if you don't pay it to Grandpa Cui, you won't pay taxes! ”

"Official! We really paid our taxes! You see, the captain is still ahead......"

"Grandma's! Dare to refuse to pay Grandpa Cui's taxes, I don't think you want to live anymore! Call me! ”

Under the order, several brocade guards did not hesitate.

There was a wave of sticks, knives and guns, and several strong men were beaten to the point that their heads were bleeding.

Among them, a strong man clenched his teeth, glared angrily, and his fist was just clenched but released.

"Boom!"

Jin Yiwei flew up, and the man took a few steps back and sat on the ground.

"Hit! Fight to the death! Dare to refuse to pay Grandpa Cui's tax, this is the end! ”

After receiving the order, several brocade guards actually pulled out big swords!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man picked up a spear and was about to fight back, but he heard a muffled sound.

Then, the middle-aged eunuch who gave the order just now tilted his body and fell to the ground.

The chaos will stop right away.

Following the sound of gunshots, everyone turned their heads to look back, looking confused.

At this time, Wang Li, on horseback, was blowing the green smoke from the muzzle of the gun.

This action is very chic!

After the face, he was also confused.

"You ...... They...... It's all up to me, what's going on? ”

"Uh...... Princes and Princesses...... You...... It looks like someone was killed......"

"I'll go! I've been on the horse, how did I kill someone? ”

"Princess! Your musket...... You're really killing someone! ”

"Damn! Don't bluff me! I don't even dare to kill chickens, how dare I kill people?

Besides, my bird gun is shooting at the sky, how can it kill people? Could he fly? ”

As he spoke, one of the guards hurriedly stepped forward to check on him, and immediately returned.

"Princess! The man...... It's Grandpa Cui's nephew! It was indeed injured by a bird's gun, and the top of his head was covered in blood! It's dead! ”

"Grandpa Cui? Which Cui Gonggong? Can we afford to mess with it? ”

"Returning to the prince: Grandpa Cui is ...... Jinyiwei commanded Cui Yingyuan's father-in-law! The father-in-law you killed was his nephew! ”

Wang Li had never heard the name of "Cui Yingyuan", but he could guess the size of the official position of the "Jinyi Guard Commander", and he could also guess the relationship between this person and Wei Zhongxian!

So, Wang Li panicked!

But he pretended to be casual: "Why don't you kill a eunuch!" Give them a few copper plates, tell someone to dig a pit, and bury it! ”

More than a dozen brocade guards came around, as if they wanted to ask for an explanation.

However, in the face of the forbidden army, they did not dare to get too close,

At the same time, Jin Wuwei raised their guns and bows and arrows, and a long group of spearmen guarded Wang Li's side.

As a result, Wang Li had a little more confidence.

"Look! What to watch? Haven't seen Ben kill anyone? Who is not convinced, stand in front and try? ”

At the scene, no one dared to squeak.

Wang Li sneered and carried the fire gun on his shoulder.

With a wave of his hand, the team moved on.

And, speed it up.

Because, Wang Li is really a little worried!

Also a little speechless!

That Cui Yingyuan's nephew is too unbeaten!

I was able to shoot him to death?

He's so unlucky!

Nima!

Jinyiwei!

What a scary name!

Why did you offend Jinyiwei?

If Cui Yingyuan goes crazy and kills a team of Jinyi guards, will I still have my life!

Nima!

It's scary!

In the future, never play with muskets again!

……

"Bear with me! If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! ”

"But...... Father-in-law! That Wang Ergou killed my nephew! How can I bear it? ”

Cui Yingyuan was so anxious that he gritted his teeth, but Wei Zhongxian sat down unhurriedly.

"If I'm not mistaken, Wang Ergou is deliberately stirring up trouble!"

"Therefore...... Deliberately stirring up trouble? Since he did it on purpose, can he still be kept? ”

"Nope! This man can't move yet! ”

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and took a deep breath: "He is the person next to the queen, escorting King Xin's family into the palace, but he deliberately provoked on the road, isn't the purpose obvious?" ”

"But ......"

"Needless to say! Step aside! ”

Wei Zhongxian spoke, and although Cui Yingyuan was unwilling, he did not refute it and withdrew from the hall angrily.

In Wei Zhongxian's opinion, Wang Li is indeed deliberately provoking trouble!

Moreover, with the permission of the Empress!

If there is a slight change in the Jinyi Guard, the forbidden army from all walks of life will definitely swarm and set foot on this Xian'an Palace!

So, at this juncture, you can only endure!

……

Back at the palace, Wang Li didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly replied to Zhang Yan.

"Queen Mother! The little slave followed the instructions and escorted King Xin's family to the Qin Palace! Merely......

It's just that on the way, I accidentally killed a little eunuch...... Heard...... I heard that it was Choi Yingwon's nephew......"

"Jinyi Wei commander Cui Yingyuan? His nephew? Cui Guangping? ”

"Uh...... Little Slave ...... It was indeed accidentally killed!

Queen Mother! If it was an accident, would you believe it? ”

Zhang Yan didn't have time to care about these things, ignored Wang Li's words, raised her right hand lightly, and Lan Ruomei handed over a few small notes.

"Queen Mother, this is ......"

"Long live the ...... over there"

Zhang Yan paused, seemed to have some scruples, and immediately changed the topic:

"This is the address of the Duke of England and the Duke of Chengguo, you go there overnight, and ask them to enter the palace as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Wang Li took the order out, and Lan Ruomei immediately leaned over to Zhang Yan's side.

"Yan'er, you also saw it, this guy must be literate!"

"I asked Caifeng, when he signed the autograph that day, he was only a little hesitant, and he didn't say that he couldn't read!

I also asked Ruyan, he went out of the palace and bought several books!

So, he is certainly literate, but not by much.

In the current situation, it doesn't matter if he is literate or not!

The most important thing is whether he is faithful! ”

"The queen mother, the ministers of the court and the central government can't be trusted, only these two Zhenguo dukes!

If he takes the opportunity to get rid of it, we will never recover! ”

"No!" Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said confidently: "At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu asked the master to divinate the hexagram.

The national fortune of my Ming Dynasty is "starting from the southeast and ending in the northwest".

At least for now, I'm not enough!

Therefore, I believe that Wang Ergou will not mess around! ”
