Tossing and turning for a long time and unable to sleep, hearing the sound of chickens crowing outside, Chang Yu asked: "When is this?" ”

Song Luoshu, who was on duty outside, coughed lightly: "Go back to the factory, it's about five shifts after the fourth watch."

That is, around three o'clock, Chang Yu thought silently in his heart, turned over and got up, Fang San, who was adjacent to the side room, heard the movement, and hurriedly came over to fetch water to wash and comb his hair: "Does the factory go to the palace or ...... early in the morning?" ”

"Today is a serious matter, where you need to go, go and call Chunxiang up" Chang Yu said casually.

"Gonggong Chun got up and left the yamen half an hour ago" Fang Sandao, Chang Yu was stunned and shook his head, this kid is full of spirits.

After washing, I walked out of the door and looked up at the cloudy sky without a trace of light, and occasionally the breeze was still cool, at this time Li Muxian and Chen Wangting came over: "The factory is going out, and the poor road will accompany you."

Chang Yu glanced at him and pouted: "Do you know that today's military parade ceremony, the emperor came to clean up so clean?" Li Muxian was slightly embarrassed: "I'm afraid of tarnishing the face of the factory."

Moreover, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "You have wasted your heart, you can't get close."

Ah, Li Muxian was slightly surprised: "The emperor is out of the city, can't we follow the East Factory, can't we still trust the East Factory?" ”

"It's not that I can't trust Dongchang, it's that I can't trust you," Chang Yu said and walked outside the yamen.

The emperor's security has always been the responsibility of the brocade guards, and when there are insufficient people when they go out, there are pro-guards on the periphery, Chang Yushen's favor can be left and right, but even if his subordinates are like clouds, they are not qualified to approach, the reason is very simple, don't worry!

The Jinyi Guards who can protect the emperor are all the second or even third generations of Jinyi Guards who are rooted in the red, and the requirements are absolute loyalty and reliability, not how high your martial arts skills are.

Although Chang Yu's subordinates have superb martial arts, what is the way to go, the Song brothers and sisters are born as killers in the rivers and lakes, Wuzhong is even more ruined, Chen Wangting is still a murder fugitive, Jiang Fa is a village husband, Li Muxian is a charlatan, you say these people, how can the emperor rest assured that they can be left and right.

But Jinyiwei is different, most of them are children of the noble family or hereditary, and the root Zhengmiaohong file is innocent and reliable.

That's why Chang Yu said this.

Li Muxian felt lost when he heard this, and thought that he could take the opportunity to meet the saint and get acquainted, but he couldn't get aside.

"So apart from you, there is nothing else in our yamen who can get close to the emperor?"

Chang Yu shook his head: "Wu Zhong can, he is a royal gift with a knife, more awesome than the government military guard, the flag bearer guard" (the Ming Dynasty did not have a sword guard)

"Isn't he also a ...... in Wuzhong?" Li Muxian shouted in a low voice, and Chang Yu interrupted him: "If you can defend the city with one knife and get dozens of stab wounds in your body, you can do the same."

Li Muxian couldn't help sighing: "It's not impossible, it's just not at the right time."

It is said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, to be precise, Wu Zhong was already waiting at the entrance of the yamen, and the emperor's red tasseled treasure knife was hung on his waist.

"Your injuries haven't healed, so don't go out," Chang Yu glanced at him and said.

Wu Zhong rubbed his nose: "Although it has not healed, it is okay to kill a few people, besides, the relatives and servants in the yamen are almost rested, and they don't go to their posts, do you expect Niu Bi and Lao Chen to take care of you?" said a sigh: "Lord Changgong, others cost money when they go out, and you pay for guards when you go out."

Li Muxian wanted to reply when he heard him call Niu Nose, but he couldn't help laughing after listening to the words behind him, but no, Chang Yu has returned to Beijing for a few days, Song Luoyu's old injury has not healed and a new injury has been added, Jiang Fa was also injured the day before yesterday, Song Luoshu was on duty last night, Qiao Sanxiu was on vacation, and Chen Wangting and Li Muxian were all left.

These words also made Chang Yu slightly embarrassed, and he touched his nose: "Don't abolish you today" Wu Zhong was excited: "Good day, say something auspicious."

"Okay, then I wish the killing success today."

Homicide? Isn't it a military parade, Chen Wangting frowned, he didn't know Chang Yu's murder plan, but he didn't dare to ask casually.

Out of the yamen, a few people turned over and got on their horses and slowly walked towards the mouth of the alley, and they saw that the lights were bright from afar, and Li Muxian whispered: "It seems that martial law is on."

Li Muxian expected that the emperor was going out of the city for a military parade today, and he had to be heavily guarded, and the guards would block the perimeter of the imperial city, and idlers should not enter.

Four rode to the mouth of the alley to look left and right, sure enough, ten steps and one post, all the intersections and streets around the imperial city were blocked, and it was strictly forbidden to approach idlely.

But to Chang Yu's surprise, at this time, when he had just arrived in Yin, the streets were crowded with many people, which was simply too exaggerated.

But if you think about it, it's not an exaggeration.

The military parade ceremony, an unprecedented event, who doesn't want to see a lively not to mention that the emperor is going to go out of the city to parade in person, so they all got up early in the morning, either waiting at the city gate to open the door and run to the parade ground to occupy a place, or run to the imperial city here, want to see if you can see the emperor's demeanor.

There are dozens of streets and alleys around the imperial city, and there are guards everywhere, but there is a mouth left in Dongchang Hutong, and the reason is self-evident.

Chang Yusi rode out of the alley to attract attention, and after riding a few close looks, he hurriedly dismounted and saluted: "Lin Xiaoshan, the lowly Yanshan Zuowei Baihu, has seen the factory master."

"You know our family?" Chang Yu thought slightly.

"I went south with the army to chase the Tartars, and I was fortunate to see the factory master." Lin Xiaoshan hurriedly said, Chang Yu sighed: "You are a pro-guard and you are on duty, you don't need to give a salute to our family" and asked casually: "Is Andingmen Street closed?" ”

Andingmen Street is a main street from Andingmen in the north city to the east wall of the imperial city, and it is also the only way for the emperor to go out of the city for military parades.

"The Jinyi guards have closed the road for investigation, ten steps and one sentry, and there are also lookout posts and archers set up in high places" Lin Xiaoshan said, Chang Yu sighed, and asked: "Do you know where the Jinyi Wei Wu commanded?" ”。

Lin Xiaoshan shook his head and pointed to a few brocade guards not far away: "They may know." Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Isn't the east of the city in charge of your Yan Shanwei, why did you send Jinyi Wei here?" ”。

"The factory doesn't know anything, Jinyiwei is fully responsible for today's escort matters, and Lord Wu has left manpower everywhere to supervise ......."

Wu Mengming, an old boy, although he is busy collecting money every day, he is also dedicated to his own work.

After asking the brocade guards, he didn't know where Wu Mengming was, so Chang Yu slowly went south along the root of the city wall, and when he arrived at Dong'an Gate, the imperial city gate had not yet opened, and he didn't plan to go in, so he continued to walk south.

The thousand-step corridor in the south of the imperial city was already brightly lit, and officials gathered at the gate of Chengtian one after another, preparing to enter the palace and the early dynasty.

Daming Gate is boiling people, the officials' sedan chairs are parked near here, the family members are waiting here and there are people watching the lively onlookers, Jinwu avant-garde is responsible for guarding here, and there are more than ten brocade guards patrolling from time to time to watch the people retreat.

"Today's military parade, hundreds of officials are coming, this is estimated to be two or three hundred." Li Muxian sighed in a low voice, and Chang Yu nodded slightly: "All departments, all divisions, civil and military from the sixth grade or above, to say the least, you have to get three hundred."

"Then plus the nobles in Beijing, how can there be thousands" Chen Wangting was surprised.

The imperial court is a huge machine, officials are all kinds of small parts, the Ming Dynasty is composed of these countless parts, even if there is a problem with one part, it will have an impact on the machine, if there are many parts that have problems, the machine ......

Just like the current Ming Dynasty.

Chang Yu and the four of them rode on horseback, which attracted people's attention, and from time to time there were pro-guards and brocade guards to check, but as soon as the waist card came out, there was no hindrance.

From the south of the city to the west of the city, there were fewer people here, and when the sky was a little brighter in the north of the city, they saw that there were many more people, perhaps they thought that the emperor must come out of the north of the imperial city when he left the city.

But they seem to have overlooked an important key, what is the emperor doing out so early.

But who cares about this, maybe their minds are like in the future, let's go to Tiananmen Square to see the flag-raising, go to see the scene of the 70-year military parade, and go early to grab the position.

Outside the Bei'an Gate of the Imperial City, in addition to the Jinwu guards on duty blocking the road, Chang Yu also found a familiar soldier and horse, black armor, with a tiger head painted on it, that's right, the battle chicken of the pro-guard army, Teng Xiang Siwei!

There are also a few familiar faces, whose command Lu Xing and others.

Teng Xiangwei's duty is to escort the guard, and it seems that the emperor is indeed going to set off from the north gate.

"Isn't this a bit of a small manpower" Chang Yu looked at it, and there were more than three hundred around the city gate. Lu Xing said: "The emperor has a decree, from the fine and simple, these three hundred people are the most elite brothers of my four guards" said and said: "We are only responsible for the escort, there are still two hundred of the government guards, two hundred of the flag guards, and thousands of other guards along the way."

Chang Yu nodded slightly when he heard this, and his heart really trusted the government guards and flag guards the most, the former had people with knives, and the latter belonged to Jinyiwei and belonged to the emperor's people, although he was favored, but obviously Emperor Chongzhen did not trust his subordinates, and did not open his mouth to mobilize people to accompany him.

chatted with Lu Xing and a few people, and learned that Wu Mengming had just left and went to Andingmen Street to inspect, so he said goodbye to a few people and went to find Wu Mengming.
