A voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Do you still know that tears have been shed, my five thousand Mongolian iron horsemen have been ruined by you like this, who should I go to cry?"

Lan Ling Xi replied tremblingly: "Holy Lord, Holy Lord, I, Lan Ling Xi have failed your expectations and committed a capital crime, and the crime is unforgivable, so let me die to apologize to the world." ”

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was standing beside him in civilian clothes, looking at him with a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, Lan Lingxi only felt that his scalp tightened for a while, and his body trembled.

Zhu Di walked back and forth beside him for a few steps, and it didn't take long, but Lan Lingxi felt that after a lifetime, his body was soaked with cold sweat. Zhu Di's face calmed down a little, and Zhu Di said: "Because of the incompetence of your Jinyiwei, Ou Lingtian rebelled and developed his own power and defeated the official army, this is the shame of the imperial court, the commander of Jinyiwei made Yan Yuze was captured by thieves, and the entire imperial court is talking about it, saying that I love you too much, so it will cause such a big mistake." I can't even explain it to the ministers. ”

"Arrow God" Lan Lingxi said: "The Holy One will execute me, I have no complaints." ”

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di shook his head: "Execute you, Yan Yuze is more auspicious in the hands of thieves, Jinyi Wei has no commander, and the dragons are bound to be in chaos without a leader." Lingxi, you get up and speak. ”

Lan Lingxi was about to stand up, but he frowned, his legs were numb from his knees, and he couldn't stand up at all. Zhu Di asked the eunuch to carry him into the council hall and sit down, Lan Lingxi's eyes turned red again, and said, "Thank you for the grace of God, Lan Lingxi really deserves death." ”

Zhu Di walked out without even looking at him, and disappeared into the night, Lan Lingxi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, which showed that the Holy Lord would not kill him, leaving a life, and the Holy Lord still needed him. But what Lan Lingxi didn't expect was that the news that the "Gun God" Yan Yuze was killed by thieves quickly reached Zhu Di's ears, and he sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face. Standing next to him was Liu Jing, the great eunuch of the East Factory.

When the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang reigned, the power of the East Factory was above the Jinyi Guard, and the Jin Yiwei was just a puppet of the East Factory, and the commander of the Jinyi Wei at that time saw the big eunuch of the East Factory to bow and ask for instructions, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di firmly controlled the Jin Yiwei in his own hands, and promoted the "Gun God" Yan Yuze and the "Arrow God" Lan Lingxi, the Jinyi Wei gradually became stronger, and did do a lot of things for Zhu Di.

It's good now. Yan Yuze has died, and Jinyiwei's reputation has plummeted, Liu Jing thinks that the opportunity has come, fully accepts Jinyiwei, and himself will be the commander, plus Zhu Di also has this idea, but there is no final decision.

"Gun God" Yan Yuze must be more than lucky if he falls into the hands of rebellion, Zhu Di understands, but he still has a glimmer of hope. For example, Ou Lingtian proposed to exchange Yan Yuze for their vested interests, Zhu Di was ready to agree, Yan Yuze had a very important position in his heart, and Yan Yuze had the talent of a general. Obedient, the strength of the Jinyi Guard has developed rapidly under his auspices, especially the five hundred Jinyi Guard heavy cavalry can fight well and clear the rebellion of the imperial court. The extermination of bandits and bandits has made a lot of achievements, and it is very easy to use.

Yan Yuze's death completely angered Zhu Di.

Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair and looked at Liu Jing with half-squinted eyes. Liu Jing, who is short in stature, stood straight, with a humble look, what did the big eunuch of Dongchang think in his heart Zhu Di knows best, he is weighing the pros and cons, using Lan Lingxi, no, Lan Lingxi fights a war, the arrows are not missing, and he is extremely brave, he once shot a swan flying in the air with a series of arrows in a hunt, and three arrows were shot down, all of which were arrows in the neck, which attracted the stormy applause of the whole army.

But let him be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to be competent, which is also the reason for Zhu Di's headache.

In contrast, Liu Jing was much more mature, he governed Dongchang in an orderly manner, and contributed a lot to Zhu Di's suppression of the opposition forces on the government, and Dongchang was only responsible to the emperor, and without the approval of the judicial organs, he could supervise the arrest of subjects at will, thus opening the end of the Ming Dynasty's eunuchs interfering in politics.

Liu Jing became the second "Governor of the Imperial Mission, the official eunuch of the Dongchang Official School", and the secret service agencies of the Dongchang were pervasive, and all the yamen of the imperial court had Dongchang personnel on duty to monitor the officials' every move. However, Zhu Di also knew that because Dongchang's suppression methods were extremely cruel, and because of his solicitation of credit or his personal interests, a large number of unjust, false and wrongful cases were created, so that Dongchang's reputation among the people was extremely poor.

This is also the factor that Zhu Di has been hesitant.

But the current change of things is too sudden, Yan Yuze died, Jinyiwei was leaderless, Zhu Di was most unwilling to see the collapse of his carefully established spy agency, Lan Lingxi couldn't, but it was still okay to be a deputy commander, Jinyiwei listened to him. As for Liu Jing, let him take over Jinyiwei for the time being, be a civilian, and the power of the army must be controlled in his own hands, Liu Jing has a very poor reputation in the imperial court, and there is such a sentence among the ministers, being targeted by Liu Jing, which means that your head is about to move.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di coughed lightly, Liu Jing immediately got up, Zhu Di coughed, indicating that he had figured it out, Zhu Di looked at Liu Jing and said: "Liu Aiqing, you also know what happened to Jinyiwei, Yan Yuze sacrificed his life for the country, Jinyiwei was demoralized, and the Mongolian cavalry also suffered a severe blow. This time the thieves used divine weapons, and I didn't believe in ghosts and gods at first, but it turns out that ghosts and gods do exist, you are good at this, you first take over Jinyiwei as the commander, and Lan Lingxi continues to serve as the deputy commander and control the army, what do you think?"

Liu Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister's decree." ”

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di said in a very cold tone: "Liu Jing, Jinyiwei and Dongchang were originally on an equal footing, you served as the commander of Jinyiwei, should Jinyiwei be surnamed Liu from now on?"

Liu Jing was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "The minister does not dare to claim to be big, the Jinyi guard is under the direct command of the saint, and the minister is just temporarily taking over for the saint, and he will be cautious, self-denying, and dare not mess around." ”

Zhu Di sneered: "It's good to know, I don't dare to overdo it, go ahead, regroup for me, I want to avenge Yan Yuze and break Ou Lingtian's body into pieces." You should know how to do it. ”

When Liu Jing came to the headquarters of Jinyiwei, Lan Lingxi had already received the holy decree, and he was grief-stricken by Yan Yuze's death, Yan Yuze treated him well, promoted him step by step, and became the deputy commander of Jinyiwei. "Big Sword General" Zhu Cheng is now the secretary of the military department, Zheng Erpin, Yan Yuze and Lan Lingxi have always been in awe of him. Now that Yan Yuze is dead, the only thing Lan Lingxi can rely on is Zhu Cheng.

When Liu Jing came to the headquarters of Jinyiwei proudly, Lan Lingxi was fidgeting in the living room of Zhu Cheng, the "big sword general", visiting Zhu Cheng was something he had to do, Zhu Cheng was a relative of the emperor, with excellent martial arts, and Zhu Di launched the "Battle of Jingyan" by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cheng was brave and good at fighting, and captured Zhang and Xie Gui who were stationed in Beiping, captured the nine gates, and swore that he had his share in the army. Zhu Cheng was loyal, and he made great contributions to the three-year-long "Battle of Jingyan", and Zhu Di trusted him very much.

The position of the military department is very important, commanding the whole army, and the Jinyi guard must also obey his command in times of crisis. Zhu Cheng also has a characteristic, he doesn't like eunuchs to interfere in politics, and he doesn't look down on eunuchs like Liu Jing, Liu Jing understands, and he doesn't dare to offend him, the two just tacitly know each other.

Zhu Cheng didn't invite Lan Lingxi, Lan Lingxi was an uninvited guest, Zhu Cheng put him in the living room and snubbed him for an hour before coming out to see him, the first sentence was: "General Yan Yuze sacrificed his life for the country, but you came back unharmed, I don't understand whether General Lan escaped from the battle." ”

Lan Lingxi hurriedly explained the situation at that time, Zhu Cheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said: "Ou Lingtian is a pivotal figure in the rivers and lakes, and Shen Yunhe's 'Shen Yidao' is the best friend, Shen Yunhe died in front of me, and returned to heaven with his wife, although it is a rebellion of the imperial court, I still admire their courage." Ou Lingtian absconded, you have been tracking him, but you have not made achievements, but you have watched him grow and develop. Several times defeated the officers and soldiers, first Du Yuelong, the general soldier of the Xining Guard, and then your Jinyi Guard, and even Yan Yuze died. If you don't bring back the remaining 4,000 Mongolian cavalry this time, Lan Lingxi, will you still be alive today. ”

Lan Lingxi broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhu Cheng continued: "Do you know why the Holy Lord asked Liu Jing to serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guard?"

Lan Lingxi shook his head.

"Lingxi, you are more than brave, but your strategy is insufficient, and it is difficult to take on a heavy responsibility. It is also the most worrying thing about the saint, he has no choice but to take this step in chess, Liu Jing has a nickname called 'Sai Zhuge ', this person is ruthless and vicious, unscrupulous, and kills countless people. The saint knows it, but the role of Dongchang to the emperor is greater than the bad things that Liu Jing did, and the saint doesn't want to move, and he doesn't dare to move, do you understand?"

Lan Lingxi was in a cold sweat again.

Zhu Cheng obviously hasn't said enough: "Yan Yuze's feud with Liu Jing is an open secret, Liu Jing is not worried about Jinyiwei for a day or two, and now that he has finally succeeded, you are not his opponent, and the future will not be easy." ”

Lan Lingxi's scalp tingled when he listened.

"What should I do?" Lan Lingxi finally couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Cheng looked at him and said: "Forbearance, ninja is the best, although Liu Jing is vicious, there are people who are more vicious than him, you know who they are." Liu Jing's control of Jinyiwei is only temporary, he is ambitious, something will happen sooner or later, as long as you follow the saint and do things according to his will, you Lan Lingxi will have a new day sooner or later. It's just General Lan, you have to use your brains more, judge the situation, and distinguish the good and bad people in order to get through the crisis, do you understand?"

Lan Lingxi was moved, and said with red eyes: "Thank you Lord Zhu for the reminder, Lingxi I will remember it in my heart." (To be continued......)
