The night is like ink, in the Tianjin Acropolis, which is used as the courtyard of the former Tianjin General Soldier Yamen, which is used as the generalissimo's mansion of the world's soldiers and horses, under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees are swaying.

On the bank of the Wei River in the west, the sound of trumpets and golden drums came from afar one after another. Let this quiet night be a little more solemn.

After the bloody battle on Ximen Street, Emperor Chongzhen once again retreated, and in the name of being frightened and sick and needing to recuperate, he lost the entire wandering court to Prince Fujun. The wandering court is also the court, and there are many affairs, and tens of thousands of rogues have come outside Tianjin, and the big war is imminent. So Zhu Cihong, who had been tired all day, had to stay awake all night.

Although Zhu Cihong is in power now, there are far fewer envoys around him than when he was the prince in Duanben Palace earlier. First, there are not many people who come out with them; The second is because Huang Dabao, who followed Zhu Cihong, is now Tengda, and one person is in charge of the three eunuchs of Si Li, Shang Bao, and Yin Shou! He was naturally too busy to be alone, so most of the attendants in the East Palace who escaped from Beijing City with Zhu Cihong ascended to heaven with the chicken dog, and became the key characters among the three eunuchs of Si Li, Shang Bao, and Yin Shou. In this way, there is nothing around Zhu Cihong. can only let Wu Sanmei, Ning, and Fei make a temporary cameo appearance to call the girl. These three girls should have been headed by the Ning family, although there was no formal etiquette, but she still had the status of an eldest woman. But when it comes to being close to Zhu Cihong and already having the ability to actually manage things, how can the Ning family compare to Wu Sanmei?

The third sister was raised as a general's wife, in addition to being good at martial arts and horseback riding, she also learned a lot of skills in managing housework. Liaodong is head pinned to the waistband of his trousers to fight for wealth, and the head of the family will be gone at any time. As a housewife, where can I manage my family? Therefore, Wu Sanmei can not only handle all kinds of housework by herself, but also manage her finances. Huang Dabao's mess, she actually took it over effortlessly. It is logical that she became the eldest sister among the three girls, and arranged errands for both Ning and Fei.

In addition to management ability, this Wu Sanmei is also quite good at winning people's hearts. I guess it's from genetics and the skills that warlord families have heard and witnessed, right? didn't spend much time with the two little girls, and they had already married Jin Lan.

And Wu Sanmei's age is actually the youngest of the three, the same year as Zhu Cihong, and they were all born in the second year of Chongzhen. Zhu Cihong was born in February, and Wu Sanmei was born on March 18. Both the Ning family and the Fei family were born in the first year of Chongzhen, among which Ning's birthday was in February, and she was the eldest of the three, so she became Sister Ning. Fei was born in May and is Fei's second sister. Wu Sanmei is the youngest and can only continue to be her third sister.

Of course, Ning and Fei have their own names. Ning's name is Xiangyu, as the name suggests, she also looks round and jade, her eyebrows are curved, her eyes are big, her nose is straight, her mouth is like a cherry, her skin is like jade, she is a rare beauty, and she is dignified and steady.

Fei's name is Zhen'e, and she has the lowest status among the three daughters, but she is just a palace person. But his appearance is the most outstanding of the three. The third sister grew up, and it was inevitable that she was a little rough, but she was covered by her white skin. Ning's mellowness is actually a bit chubby, so in the eyes of Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang, she is a physique that can be born and nourished, and she is dignified, so she became a concubine.

And Fei Zhen'e is charming and gorgeous, not tall or short, not fat or thin, where there should be meat, it is the same bulging, it should be slender, and there is no trace of spaciousness. The facial features are even more gorgeous and picturesque, although the skin is not as white as Wu Sanmei, but it is as delicate as milk. The shortcoming, or the finishing touch, is that there is more fox.

It was precisely because of this charm that she lost the opportunity to become the crown princess. However, she was unwilling to take a few gold coins back to her hometown, so when she resigned, she begged Queen Zhang, saying that her hometown was occupied by the rogues and had no place to return, so she only begged to stay in the palace and serve. Queen Zhang saw that she was pitiful and as beautiful as she was when she was young, so she was moved by compassion and kept her by her side. It's just to stay, Empress Zhang won't give such a fox goblin a chance to get close to the prince. You can't let Fei Xiaoxie bring a three-good prince to ruin.

But who would have thought that the prince's "three good" was actually pretended, and his true face was actually cunning and ferocious, almost the same as Taizu and Chengzu...... So Empress Zhang didn't worry about anything, so she took Fei as a gift and gave it to Zhu Cihong to enjoy. For Fei Lan'er, it was an unexpected surprise to be able to serve by Zhu Cihong's side, so she cherished it extraordinarily. asked for the opportunity to serve Zhu Cihong from Wu Sanmei, and at this moment, he was waiting outside Zhu Cihong's study, and from time to time he looked at the situation in the study. The lights were like beans in it, but it was Zhu Cihong, Wu Xiang, Cao Youyi, and Li Ruolian discussing the battle and defense matters.

Now Zhu Cihong has gathered many senior military attaches around him. However, most of them are pretentious ministers, and they can't really command on the battlefield. That is, Wu Xiang's father and son and Cao Youyi are real generals. Wu Sanfu will lead troops to the city tomorrow morning to scare people, and now he will go to sleep. Therefore, Wu Xiang and Cao Youyi, two senior generals who really know how to fight, were left to discuss the battle situation with Zhu Cihong.

In addition, Zhu Chunjie is also by Zhu Cihong's side, he has just been promoted by Zhu Cihong to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is also the key player in the defense of Tianjin - the battle of Tianjin can't just stare outside the city and ignore the inside of the city! Therefore, it is also a top priority to rebuild Jinyiwei to pacify all parts of the city to prevent civil unrest.

“…… In the past, the brocade guards drove the guards directly and inspected and arrested. There are too many responsibilities, a huge establishment, and many subordinate officials, which have long exceeded the number of one guard. There are many people, and things are complicated, so it is difficult to specialize. As a result, many of the errands that need to be done are difficult to do. In addition, the imperial court used the official position of Jinyiwei to reward people, so that many Jinyiwei officials were not worthy of their names and had no ability to do things. And those who have the ability can't go up, so they don't have to do things. But this time is different from the past, the court is displaced, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and Jinyiwei, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, should also strive to rectify it and make it lean and worthy of great responsibility......

The minister's idea is to let Jinyiwei be in charge of full-time inspection and arrest, and at the same time streamline the establishment, eliminate redundant personnel, and set up two towns in the north and south under the capital division. Among them, the North Town Fu Division is responsible for the investigation, and the South Town Fu Division is responsible for the secret detective investigation. The former is used internally, and the latter is labored externally......"

Zhu Chunjie didn't know when he had written a piece of music to rectify the brocade guard, so he read it carefully under the lamp for Zhu Cihong. Zhu Cihong just watched with a smile on the side. Reform of Jinyiwei is indeed a top priority, and now that it is a world of great controversy, an efficient intelligence agency is of course indispensable.

In real history, Jinyiwei is not a professional intelligence agency, reconnaissance and arrest is just a side job, and direct driving guards is the main business. Under the huge Jinyi Guard, there is only one Beizhen Fusi who is in charge of reconnaissance and arrest (Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of the law and discipline of this guard), among which the school captain who really has the power of detective is also called Tiqi, and the number is generally not more than 600 people. There are 17 guards under Jinyiwei, one with 1,120 people, and the full number is 19,040 people. In other words, among the nearly 20,000 Jinyi guards, there are only 600 real intelligence officers.

These 600 spies are also in charge of investigation, arrest, and interrogation, and many of them are messing around, and they are often involved in struggles within the imperial court. How efficient it is, you can imagine it.

Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a thorough reform and turn it into a truly efficient secret service.

However, the plan to reform Jinyiwei is still in Zhu Cihong's heart, and it was not handed over to Zhu Chunjie as a task, but he will be aware of his intentions and has already come up with specific methods.

It seems that this person is also a capable minister, at least much more capable than his cowardly cousin Zhu Chunchen!

Zhu Cihong smiled approvingly and said, "Huaiyuan is really a capable minister, which is very in line with the meaning of this palace. However, the responsibility for the arrest and arrest of the Beizhen Fusi, in the eyes of this palace, should only be limited to rebellion, thieves, and captives. Ordinary misdeeds, outlaws, and theft and rape are free to be asked, and officials are corrupt and pervert the law, and there is no need for Jinyiwei to intervene.

But that's all for later, and the immediate priority is to decorate the façade. Starting tomorrow, the duty of pacification in the Tianjin Acropolis, can Jinyi Wei take on it? The main palace doesn't want to be attacked by thieves, and there are people in the city who cause chaos! ”
