In the emperor's imperial study, Lingyu was chatting with the emperor, and the emperor said: "Don't use it between you and me, just say something directly." Lingyu said: "Your Majesty, I told you before that Chang Yue'e is the princess of the Tart Jike Kingdom, a small country in the Western Regions. The emperor said: "Yes, you said that she is a princess who has lost the country, and I want you to help his father restore the country." Lingyu said: "That's exactly the case." The emperor said: "You are someone's son-in-law, you should ask for help if you have something, this matter is not used to report to me, do you want to borrow some soldiers." ”

Lingyu said: "Anyway, Weichen is still the concubine of the Ming Dynasty, of course you have to ask the emperor for such a big matter, if you kill some grass thieves, you don't need to ask the emperor, you don't need to borrow soldiers, and you can't use the army of the court because of my own private affairs." The emperor said: "I forgot, one horse is worth thousands of troops." Lingyu smiled: "That's also a brag, as the saying goes, it's hard to sing alone, no matter how much a person can be alone, even if you sing, you have to have a song to set up a stage." The emperor said: "What the horse said is reasonable, just like me, it also depends on the concerted efforts of many civil and military ministers to govern the country." ”

Lingyu said: "Weichen doesn't dare to compare with the emperor, you are a true dragon emperor, and Weichen is just a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes." The emperor said: "Don't come here, this is just an official statement, you and I know what is going on." Lingyu said: "Weichen came to ask the emperor for another purpose, that is, I want to tell the emperor that it may take a long time to go to the Western Regions this time, and if the court really needs Weichen, you can send someone to the Western Regions to find me." The emperor said: "Thank you for thinking about me, does the princess also want to go to the Western Regions with you?" Lingyu said: "The princess will not go." The emperor said: "Then how depressed she is in the house alone, just let her move to the palace." ”

Lingyu said: "Emperor Xie." That's not necessary. Hong Xia stayed with her. The emperor said: "Hong Xia is also a martial arts master. Why don't you bring it along and be a helper. Lingyu said: "Because she and the princess are pregnant, so they stayed, otherwise how could the princess stay obediently, she would have wanted to go to the rivers and lakes with me for a long time." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Congratulations on your concubine, you are going to have a noble son." Lingyu said with a smile: "Tongxi, the emperor is going to add a nephew." The emperor smiled and said, "What the concubine said is that it is too unsafe for you to leave two pregnant women at home, so it is better to ask them to move to the palace." There is a physician on hand at all times. Lingyu smiled: "It's good, but Hong Xia is from the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid I'm not used to living in the palace." The emperor said: "That's good, I sent two imperial doctors to the palace to wait." Lingyu said: "Your Majesty, this is too troublesome!" The emperor said: "What's the trouble here, is it more troublesome than you fighting the Mongols, so don't be polite to me." ”

Lingyu said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and thank the emperor for your majesty." The emperor smiled and said: "I am not all for you, but also for the royal sister Princess Jade." Lingyu said with a smile: "The emperor is all for the princess, and Weichen still wants to thank the emperor." The princess must be the wife and child of Weichen. The emperor smiled and said: "If you have a conscience, when are you going to set off." Lingyu said: "Weichen plans to leave in a few days." The emperor said: "Then you go back and prepare! When you go back, you will go to Jinyiwei to show me." Tell them not to make the mistakes of the past. Lingyu said: "Weichen obeys." With that, he left the imperial study.

Lingyu walked out of the imperial study, and the eunuch Xiao Songzi hurriedly greeted him and said, "The slave has seen the master of the horse." Lingyu said: "Excuse me! When the princess comes to me, you can tell her that I have gone to Jinyiwei." Xiao Songzi said: "The slave obeys." ”

Lingyu came to the Jinyi Guard's residence, and the guards at the door were busy greeting each other, and when they walked into the courtyard, they met a few Jinyi Guards, all of whom greeted Lingyu with a salute. Lingyu walked into the office of the Jinyi Guard's commander, saw Hongda and hurriedly stood up to greet him, and said, "Lord Zhang, you have returned to Beijing, when did you come back?" Lingyu also clenched his fists and saluted back: "I just came back yesterday." Jiang Hongda said: "Lord Zhang, please take a seat." Lingyu said: "Lord General, please sit down too." With that, they both sat down.

Lingyu said: "Lord General, how is the Jinyi Guard?" Jiang Hongda said: "Back to Lord Zhang, now Jinyiwei is running normally, and local officials everywhere are also much more restrained, Lord Zhang is in Xingyang, Luoyang, the case handled by Jinyiwei has been delivered to the capital in time, and the emperor is very happy." Lingyu said: "Lord General, you are doing a good job." Jiang Hongda said: "It's all taught by Master Zhang." Lingyu said: "Lord General, don't be polite to me, you inform the Jinyi guard on duty to go to the hall, and I will say a few words to everyone." The general said, "Yes, Lord Zhang." After speaking, he said, "Someone!"

Immediately came from next door and said, "General, what do you command?" In a blink of an eye, he saw Lingyu and hurriedly said, "My subordinates have seen Master Zhang." Lingyu waved his hand and said, "Let's get busy!" The brocade guard said: "Yes, the subordinates retired." After saying that, he turned around and left. Lingyu also said goodbye and walked out of the command envoy's office and walked to Hong Feng, who was now promoted to a pacification envoy and was busy sorting out the materials.

Lingyu said: "Lord Hong, are you very busy?" Hong Feng looked up when he heard the sound and saw that it was Lingyu, and hurriedly put down the materials and smiled: "Lord Zhang, when did you come back?" Lingyu smiled: "I just came back yesterday." Hong Feng said: "Is there anything wrong with me?" Lingyu said: "It's not a big deal, it's just to ring the alarm bell for them, and by the way, tell you to get together at my house at night." Hong Feng said: "Okay, I must go." Lingyu said: "Go to the hall immediately, I want to say a few words to everyone." Hong Feng said: "Okay, I'll clean this up and pass." Lingyu left first.

Lingyu came to the Jinyi Guard Hall, and saw that some people had come, and everyone saw Lingyu walk in, and they were all busy saluting and greeting. Lingyu also hugged his fists in return, and then walked to the desk and sat down, the officials and officials on duty in Jinyiwei, the captain, and the wrestlers all came to the hall one after another, and everyone who came in stepped forward to greet Lingyu.

Hongda walked to the side of Lingyu and said: "Lord Zhang, everyone on duty has arrived." Lingyu said: "Okay, you will also sit down." When Lingyu saw the general sitting down, he looked at everyone and said, "Although I am not the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the emperor asked me to supervise the Jinyi Guard, why? Because the Jinyi Guard is the eyes and ears of the emperor, to gain insight into the behavior of officials and supervise whether they abide by the law, how important it is; It can be that what did the former Jinyiwei and Dongchang do, they actually colluded with officials, acted in embarrassment, bent the law for bribes, disrupted the court, and caused the people to complain, and the loyal and upright officials did not dare to speak, because if they didn't do it well, they would be framed by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and lose their lives. I'm here today to remind you not to make the mistakes of the past, and I'm not trying to settle old scores with you. Everyone should know what I do, but I also want to reiterate that I will never treat good people badly, and I will never be soft on bad people. I heard from the general that you are doing a good job now, and I will reward you, and I hope you will continue to work hard and do better. ”

Lingyu paused and said, "Lord General, you can also say a few words." Jiang Hongda said: "Okay." Then he said to everyone: " Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Zhang said very clearly just now, not to settle old accounts, just to remind everyone not to make previous mistakes, of course, the responsibility for the previous mistakes can not be completely blamed on us, I am also an old Jinyiwei, I know your difficulties, but now it is different, there is an upright boss like Mr. Zhang to support you, you can also supervise each other, including me, but you can't engage in framing and framing, then you will suffer the consequences, we have to convey the spirit of Mr. Zhang's speech to every member of Jinyiwei, in short, we all have to work together to do our part well, do you have confidence。 Everyone said, "Have faith." Jiang Hongda said: "Lord Zhang, look at ......." Lingyu said: "If you have any opinions, you can put forward." Most of them were silent, and a few people said no, Lingyu said: "Since everyone has nothing to say, let's disperse!"

Everyone bowed one after another, and then the gatekeeper came in and reported: "Lord Zhang, the princess is coming to you and asking Lord Zhang when he can go back." Lingyu said: "You go and tell her to wait a while, and I will go back immediately." The doorkeeper was gone. (To be continued.) )
