Chapter Twelve Never Knowing the King's Face (6)

Later generations mostly had the impression of the Jinyiwei as a spy agency, especially the notorious imperial prison, which was like the abyss of hell in the real world. In fact, as the personal army of the emperor, the functions of the Jinyiwei were too large. It was divided into two north and south garrisons, from the capital security, the city appearance, the communication sewer, to the secret detection of evil spirits, the guards, and the guards, and the guards, all of which were under the jurisdiction of the Jinyiwei.

One of the most important functions of the Nanzhen Fushi Office is to select the Han generals.

These great Han generals must be loyal and loyal. They are tall and burly, look like King Kong, and their voices are loud. No matter who they see, they will sigh: Huang Ming is indeed a magnificent dynasty!

Their main task is to have complete armor and armor, hold the ceremonial guards and serve as a good background.

Zhu Cilang once had the idea of ​​editing these people as guards of the Eastern Palace, but soon found that he was really naive. Although these great generals were just standing guard and pretending to be good, they were all wealthy children with constant income, otherwise they would not have been the turn of their own.

These people are okay to act. If they really want to undergo military training, it will be more difficult than killing them. Not only will they complain, but some people will also pretend to be sick and flee. If Zhu Cilang really dared to attack these heroes, not only would the foreign court not be able to let him go, but even his parents would probably have to consider changing the prince.

At that time, Emperor Shenzong occasionally got drunk and blamed two eunuchs, cut off their hair, and was punished to go to Taimiao to kneel down. Empress Dowager Li even said that he wanted to depose the emperor and establish Lu Wang. Zhu Cixuan was not sure where his parents' bottom line was, and even if these people were suppressed, they really wanted to extend their military power, especially the military power under the ban, which was a bit creepy.

"You were just talking about His Highness the Crown Prince?" the strong man shouted in a muffled voice.

Li Mingrui and Li Banghua were indeed scared!

After all, Li Banghua was an old minister who had been admiring the Beijing camp. First of all, he realized that his daily qi cultivation skills made him take a leisurely teacup and take a sip, and asked slowly, "Who are you?"

"Embroidered Uniform Guard!" The strong man showed off the gold medal of the Embroidered Uniform Guard like a shell. After the two of them saw it clearly, they said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince summoned me, let's go here."

This strong man's domineering attitude greatly stimulated Li Mingrui, but the Jinyiwei was different from the ordinary military officer system. He was a superior personal guard and independent of a country. No matter how powerful the civil servants were, they could not bully the Jinyiwei.

Li Mingrui shook his sleeves and stood up, shouting, "Do you just think we are the fat sheep you can blackmail? You might as well tell you that this official is the Zuo Zhongyun of the Zhan Shi Mansion Li Mingrui! If you don't say that the prince cannot leave the palace, even if the prince is really here, you can't call me and say it, and then linger it!"

Li Mingrui and Li Banghua only thought they had met a soldier who came to blackmail the rich, but they didn't expect that this person was really on the order of the prince. The Jinyiwei, who was originally a little unfamiliar in the capital, relied on a bare-baring card to extort everywhere. Many old wealthy people in the countryside who had little knowledge had a middle-aged man, were even killed and killed.

There was no such thing as sound insulation in this era. The private rooms in the restaurant were separated by thin layers of wooden boards. It would be considered very luxurious when you come to a restaurant that was willing to build a wall and paint a layer of lime. Even so, it could not stop Li Mingrui's "bold words".

Zhu Cixuan knew that if he was not more proactive, the crazy life would not know what to say, and said, "Zhou Jing, go and tell him, I sincerely invite you."

As the guard of the Eastern Palace, Zhou Jing was with him while the prince was teaching and met Li Mingrui several times. Although he had never said hello, this face was still a familiar face after all. He bowed and took the order out.

There was a moment when the next door fell silent, and if there was no one, the sound of rushing footsteps came.

The moment Li Mingrui saw Zhou Jing, he knew that he had lost his words. No matter how brave the guards of the East Palace were, they would not dare to cheat outside under the banner of the prince. No matter how grievances they made outside, as long as they did not die, the prince would always have a chance to turn over in the future. However, if the prince was pulled into the mud, it would be a sin that would be unstoppable.

Zhu Cixuan couldn't help feeling funny when he watched the two ministers standing in front of him and trying hard to maintain calmness. However, the smile did not show any signs on his face. He still had a look of tight lips and a serious look.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Li Mingrui bowed and was about to speak, but Zhu Cilang reached out to stop him. He had just spoken bad words about the crown prince behind his back, and felt guilty and swallowed the words to ask the crown prince how to leave the palace.

The Prince of Ming Dynasty was not a good match. Seeing Li Mingrui speak, he knew that there were a lot of bitter and unpleasant words waiting for him. He stopped Li Mingrui's words and asked coldly: "Will Mr. Li rest today?"

Li Mingrui's head twitched, and cold sweat suddenly dripped down, making a long "uh" sound from his throat.

"Since it's not a day off, sir, please go back to the yamen soon." Zhu Cixuan waved.

Li Mingrui first said bad things about the prince behind his back, which was a failure of morality. He was caught by the prince and went out to eat at work, which was a failure of duty. He lost two of the four items of morality, ability, and diligence. If the censor knew, impeachment would definitely be indispensable. At this time, he was nervous and had no time to tell the difference. When he heard the prince let him leave, he had to perform the manners and retreat. As expected, he would come and whisper.

Zhu Cixuan squirted out of his nostrils, and when Li Mingrui left the private room, he said to Li Banghua: "Please sit on the Xiantai."

"I am afraid." Li Banghua quickly refused.

"Xiantai is a meritorious official, and he is given a seat even before His father and Emperor." Zhu Cixuan knew that this was a procedure for literati to express humility, and it was not that he really didn't want to sit. Li Banghua was nearly 70 years old. If he asked him to stand and ask right, he would not say afterwards that a group of people would poke his backbone.

"Thank you." Li Banghua then sat down on the chair opposite the prince, and still had only half of his buttocks.

"Xiantai is sitting there." Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "I went out for a visit in a condom. Xiantai Quan can just think that I am a junior student."

"It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince is kind, it is indeed a false statement." Li Banghua then felt a little more comfortable and gave him a high hat.

"A kind person is probably the title of "cowardly". " Zhu Cixuan didn't care about this reputation and said, "I am in the Eastern Palace and I just obey all the teachers and teachers, and I'm afraid they misunderstood it."

Li Banghua was stunned. Unexpectedly, the prince would understand this way. Just as he was about to argue, he heard the prince say, "If I bring some majesty, Li Mingrui would not dare to say behind my back that I would be fine."

"As a censor, I should impeach Li Mingrui for being careless!" Li Banghua immediately made a statement, but it was also a crime of protecting Li Mingrui from being "great disrespectful".

"If he said this in front of others and heard it, I would have to sue him in front of the emperor! Even if I was unbearable, it was the foundation of the Eastern Palace. Is it not the best to discuss the emperor? Is this the way of precepts?" Zhu Cixuan said casually, and wiped out Li Banghua's cover without any of it.

"Your Highness, Li Mingrui is a man, I know it..."

Zhu Cilang snatched the conversation and continued, "But I won't punish him if he is with Xiantai. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups. I think he is still reliable in the festival."

Li Banghua bowed and said, "Your Highness is too good." But his heart was already full of ups and downs, and he was exhausted.

——This is harder than a face-saint!

Li Banghua felt a little sad.

"I have heard a little about Xiantai's admiral of the Beijing camp. However, at this point, even if Xiantai has great power to turn the tide, it is difficult to support the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Cixuan sighed.

Admiral Beijing Camp, promoting profits and eliminating disadvantages, is an important milestone in Li Banghua's career and a success in his life. However, at this moment, Li Banghua exclaimed in his heart: The Ming Dynasty has not yet perished yet! Even the prince cannot say this! He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, although it is the rise and fall of the rise and fall, there are still loyal ministers and patriots serving in front of you! Your Highness must not pity yourself and lose his fighting spirit."

Zhu Cilang smiled sincerely.

If he had lost his fighting spirit, he would have committed suicide in the past fifteen years. Even if his will was a little weaker, he would inevitably be mentally ill. However, he still stood in the capital with his back straight up. At the last moment of only nine months, he still did not give up a glimmer of hope.

"What Xiantai said," Zhu Cixuan echoed casually and said, "What was Xiantai discussing with Li Mingrui before?"

Li Banghua has been in the officialdom for a long time and is about to retire. He does not care about the crime of "private gangs". Seeing that the prince is not weak and ignorant, nor is it "young and not young", Li Banghua simply said bluntly: "Your Highness, the ministers and others are discussing the matters in the south."

"Southern? Why did you get me?"

"Li Mingrui intends to ask the emperor to go to Nan Xing." Li Banghua said simply and clearly. This is a habit that has been cultivated in the officialdom. He often only points out one question. Whether he can understand it depends on the listener's understanding. Therefore, officials in the Ming Dynasty must have high understanding, otherwise there will be no future.

Zhu Cilang didn't mind this habit of officialdom, which was no different from the fame and fortune four or five hundred years later.

"The establishment of the capital was originally intended to have a way out when the capital could not be defended." Zhu Cilang said: "As the saying goes, "It is appropriate to advance and retreat, and the method of military strategy. It is really unwise to blindly guard the capital."
