53 Spy Chief
Lu Bing, the commander of the Ming Jinyi Guard, the largest spy leader, concurrently serves as the crown prince and the prince, and enjoys the honor of the three orphans and the three dukes.
To say that Lu Bing is also a prominent family, he has been an official for generations, a hereditary brocade guard, and what is even better is that his mother is the nurse of the current emperor Emperor Jiajing, and they can be regarded as growing up eating a person's milk.
However, Lu Bing did not rely on his relationship to ascend to the position, but participated in the martial arts through his own efforts, obtained fame, and was crowned the deputy of Jinyi Wei.
Since entering the officialdom, Lu Bing has been like a hanger all the way, not only prosperous in official fortune, but also deeply trusted by Emperor Jiajing, and has made great contributions repeatedly, and directly walked to the peak of his life.
Lu Bing is extremely smart, and he is in charge of the state secret service, even if the cabinet chief assistant sees him, he has to be polite, it stands to reason that he has proud capital, but this person is naturally cautious, cautious, high-profile work, and has a very high reputation inside and outside the government and the opposition.
Such a perfect man has a shortcoming, that is, he is greedy for money, during his reign, he embezzled a lot of gold and silver, but he was cautious, never attacked the people, but punished unscrupulous merchants and corrupt criminals, and filled his own pockets on the way, so no one caught him for so many years.
It stands to reason that Lu Bing is already at the level of a bigwig in the imperial court, and there is no need to rely on Yan Song at all, but it is a pity that Xia Yan, the former head of the cabinet, is upright, can't rub sand in his eyes, and does not forgive Lu Bing's corruption, forcing Lu Bing to cooperate with Yan Song and get rid of Xia Yan, and the two have become the best allies of a team since then.
Yan Song is also greedy for money, and he is even more greedy than Lu Bing, if it weren't for a Heshen in later generations, Yan Song would be the first corrupt official in ancient times.
Lu Bing couldn't get used to Yan Song's greed, but Lu Bing was too cautious, so cautious that he didn't dare to offend Yan Song, because he was afraid that he would be the second Xia Yan.
Over the years, Lu Bing has escorted Yan Song, making the power of the first assistant of the cabinet swell to the limit.
Of course, there is a shadow of a person behind all this, that is Emperor Jiajing, this emperor is probably the smartest emperor since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, less than fifteen years old to succeed to the throne, less than a year before the government, forced the first assistant Yang Tinghe to go home to recuperate, Yang Tinghe's son was even sent to the frontier, he did not go to court for decades but controlled the ministers in the palm of his hand.
Yan Song's greed was all because of Emperor Jiajing's connivance.
But for the people, Emperor Jiajing is a rare good emperor, because he does not toss.
Emperor Jiajing cultivated all the year round, did not deal with government affairs, Yan Song was greedy for money and neglected government, the country was unmanaged but safe, and officials in various places did their own thing, and slowly developed the germ of capitalism. The people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no war at the border gates, and the country's national strength is thriving, which is also a miracle through the ages.
From the perspective of Wang Zhong's successors, this miracle is because the influence of the imperial court is getting weaker and weaker, the people's financial resources are getting thicker and thicker, and the central power is devolved to the localities, resulting in the people having money in their hands, no longer farming and paying taxes, but beginning to promote commercial development, but the imperial court is becoming more and more poor and weak, because the Ming Dynasty only has agricultural taxes, no commercial taxes.
If it weren't for the emergence of a famous minister Zhang Juzheng, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would have died long ago, and China would have jumped from the feudal era to the capital era.
One of the most important things for Wang Zhong to enter Beijing this time was to deal with Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Because he is responsible for supervising the rivers and lakes, and because his ability is too strong, if he does not die, it will be difficult for Zuo Lengchan and Dongfang to fight undefeated.
Lu Bing is indeed preparing to make a fuss on August 15, the Battle of Huashan, and has been living in seclusion for the past few days, and has been busy with official business, in order to prepare for the decisive battle to solve the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Songshan Sect in one fell swoop.
During this time, the Songshan faction was too high-profile, and it was okay to run the sect, but recently it also started to engage in the dart business and meddle in the shopping mall.
The Jianghu sect has money, the first thing is to recruit disciples, there are many disciples in the sect, and the strength will inevitably swell, this is not what the imperial court wants to see, in recent years, because of Emperor Jiajing's lazy government, Jinyiwei's supervision of the rivers and lakes has become weaker and weaker, and Lu Bing is ready to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to govern the rivers and lakes well.
As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the most powerful handful of people in Beijing, Lu Bing himself likes to enjoy it very much, and it can be said that he eats the best food, drinks the best tea, wears the best silk, and sleeps with the most beautiful woman.
In the past few days, he has been busy with official business, and he finally handled things properly, so he naturally wanted to enjoy it, and there were only so many kinds of men's enjoyment, so Lu Bing went to the first Qinglou in the capital and found the first prostitute in the capital "Rushuang".
Rushuang Girl's courtyard is called "Water Yunju", and there is usually only one maid to serve, but there are four brocade guards stationed outside "Shuiyunju" all year round, one is to protect "Rushuang", and the other is to monitor her.
Lu Bing has a spiritual cleanliness habit, he can't move the women that others have touched, and on the contrary, his women can't be touched by others.
But Lu Bing did not redeem himself for "Rushuang", what he wanted was to let everyone know that Rushuang was his woman, and anyone who dared to touch her would have to die.
Today, when Lu Bing came to the "Water Rhyme Residence", he heard a melodious piano sound, which was from the hand of Rushuang.
Rushuang never strokes the piano for others, and her piano sound only belongs to one person.
Lu Bing's face turned gloomy when he heard the sound of the qin, because he heard the fear in the sound of the qin.
It stands to reason that Rushuang should not be afraid, in the capital, except for the emperor, no one can make her afraid.
Lu Bing glanced at his subordinates, and the brocade guards in the secret surrounded the "Water Yunju", and Lu Bing walked upstairs in a dignified manner.
When Lu Bing pushed open the door, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
After entering the room, Lu Bing first saw Rushuang sitting in front of the piano, and then saw a man lying on his bed, his eyes half-closed, as if enjoying the sound of the piano.
"Lord Lu will really enjoy it, the frost girl is really the best in the world, and the piano skills are rare in the world. ”
"Your Excellency is so bold, knowing that Rushuang is my man, he still dares to come here. Lu Bing didn't look at Rushuang, but was interested in the person on the bed.
"Everyone has a love for beauty, like a frost girl, the world is stunning, I Tian Boguang naturally want to take a look. ”
"Are you Tian Boguang?" Lu Bing was a little puzzled.
"Lord Lu actually knows Tian?" Tian Boguang on the bed also said curiously.
"Tian Boguang, who travels alone for thousands of miles, rapes ** women sixty-eight people, wanders in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all the year round, why did you come to the capital?"
As the biggest spy leader of the Ming Dynasty and responsible for supervising the rivers and lakes, Lu Bing naturally heard of Tian Boguang's name. It was because he knew that Lu Bing was puzzled.
Although Tian Boguang is hateful, he is also timid, and most of the adulterous women are rich and ordinary people, and he does not provoke the female relatives of those Jianghu people, as well as the wives and daughters of court officials. How dare he provoke the commander of the Jinyi Guard today.
"You are by no means Tian Boguang. Lu Bing asserted.
"No, I'm Tian Boguang. The man on the bed sat up suddenly, the silver light flashed on his waist, and a short knife had already attacked Lu Bing.
"You really aren't Tian Boguang. Lu Bing smiled lightly, and the person flew out of the door like a big bird, and four brocade guards rushed up and blocked Tian Boguang's short knife.
