Zhu Youzhen's decision to let the eunuchs and brocade guards around him accompany the pedestrian division to the south to announce the edict soon caused a storm among the civil officials of the foreign courts.

On the sixth day of the ninth month, Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, played the money and grain seal and couldn't see it clearly with the blue seal, and asked to use the red seal alone, and Zhu Youzhen happily agreed.

Qian Yuanyu, the head of the military department, suddenly stood up and played, he said a lot of Chinese in a verbose manner, Zhu Youzhen only understood that he was advising himself not to send eunuchs and Jinyi guards out of Beijing, he said that once these people left the capital, they liked to show off their might, bully the good people, and make the local people miserable.

Zhu Youzhen was aroused by him all of a sudden, he just sent a few people out to inquire about the situation in the south, and these Donglin Party members began to jump out. Zhu Youzhen raised his eyebrows and was about to scold, when he suddenly found that several cabinet ministers in front of his seat were silent with their heads down.

This made him wake up suddenly, killing the eunuch party and letting the Donglin party dominate, of course, is looking for death. But in turn, if the Donglin Party has no place in the court, then the eunuch party is still another scourge.

"Well, I see, you step down, is there anything else? If not, let's disperse. Zhu Youzhen's originally tense body suddenly relaxed.

was ready to accept Qian Yuanyu, who was reprimanded by the emperor, but found that the other party's reaction was not at all like a young man, and he was not angered by his words.

This gave him the feeling of knocking down the cotton with one punch, and Zhu Youzhen's Gu left and right talked about him, which not only made him unable to continue to speak, but also disrupted the support steps of other speech officials. Qian Yuanyu's momentum was suffocated, so he had to retreat according to Zhu Youzhen's words.

Cui Chengxiu looked at this scene and couldn't help but move in his heart, "It seems that the new emperor is not exclusive to the factory guards, so maybe the fate of him and Wei Zhongxian is not as bad as imagined." ”

After accepting Zhu Youzhen's order on the same day, Lian Shanxiang received 50 taels of silver from Wang Chengen as a settlement fee.

Lian Shanxiang took a silver package from Lu Jiude's hand, he looked around, and after no one else was present, he took out an ingot from the package, then gritted his teeth and took out another ingot, a total of ten taels of silver, and handed it to Wang Chengen.

Then he said with a smile on his face: "The young general has always been taken care of by his father-in-law, and he has a little tea money, and he also asks his father-in-law to smile." ”

Wang Chengen took a step back, and then said angrily: "Lian Baihu, our family has always thought that you are still a character, but I didn't expect you to learn this kind of stealing chickens and dogs, I really misjudged you." ”

After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and turned to leave. Ignoring it completely, the two of them who were stimulated by his actions were like petrification.

After a long time, Lian Shanxiang reacted, and he unconsciously asked Lu Jiude, who was also in a daze, "What's wrong with the prince?" Irritated? Lu Jiude: "..."

When Wang Chengen turned to leave, he still thought about what Zhu Youzhen warned him when he let him out, "Of course money is a good thing, but a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way." Since you are the person next to me, you have to figure out what money should be collected and what money should not be collected. If you see the silver and forget what your last name is, why don't you bring it up to me as soon as possible, and I will arrange a good place for you, which is enough for you to live happily for the rest of your life. Don't let me cry because I took money I shouldn't have taken, you know? ”

Although Zhu Youzhen spoke in a very gentle tone, Wang Chengen felt a chill on his neck. He had been with King Xin for six or seven years, but for the first time, he felt that he couldn't understand Zhu Youzhen's mind at all, but he could feel that Zhu Youzhen was not intimidating him.

Wang Chengen used to be greedy for a little money, because he thought that he was going to accompany King Xin to the mansion in the future. There is no common practice in the palace of the foreign vassal king, and he can only live on the emperor's reward, and King Xin was an angry young man of the middle and second style at the beginning, and he couldn't take the initiative to ask for a reward. That's why he thought, save a little bit in case he needs it.

But today, since King Xin has ascended to heaven in one fell swoop, will he still be greedy for that little money? If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty seemed to attach great importance to this brocade-clothed hundred, Wang Chengen would have found a reason to send it away.

After Lian Shanxiang and Lu Jiude agreed on the time and place of tomorrow's meeting, they returned to the gatehouse where they were stationed with their packages.

Seeing that Lian Shanxiang came back, several familiar captains suddenly surrounded him and asked in a gossipy manner: "Lord Baihu, Your Majesty asked you to go, but do you want to reward you with something?" "Hey, you don't need to ask, didn't you see the package in the hands of Lord Baihu? Lord Baihe, does Your Majesty think of us? ”“…”

"That's enough, shut up. Your Majesty summoned me to give me an order to pick a few people to go to the south. ”

"South? Is it Suzhou, Nanjing, or Hangzhou? Lord Baihe, I have always followed you to do things, and such good things can't forget me. "Ah, are you the only one doing things? Hundred-sized adults have something, that time was not the first time I stood up, you always hide at the end..."

Lian Shanxiang said, and several subordinates quarreled even more. He looked at these subordinates with a little headache, except for some noble sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty who were named in, most of the soldiers in the middle and lower classes were replaced by father and son, and they were passed down from generation to generation.

The families of these soldiers all lived together, had a friendship of one or two hundred years, and were neighbors who knew each other well. So much so that even Shanxiang usually didn't dare to offend these subordinates too much, and you punished him here, and when he turned around, his parents came to the door and said that you were not close to people. Who hasn't eaten from their neighbors when they were young, and who has received help from their neighbors, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

The peaceful days of the Jinyi Guards in the capital have passed for too long, and they have long forgotten that they are still an army that only needs to go into battle. Moreover, as the emperor's pro-army, the treatment of Jinyiwei has always been higher than that of the Beijing camp, guarding the huge Sijiu City, and there is a lot of extra money on the street, so there is no need to farm like the hard soldiers in the Beijing camp.

Even if there are one or two Wei Zhongxian-style eunuchs in the court, it will not be difficult to get along with the low-level soldiers of Jinyiwei. And most of those who defect to eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian and want to get a chance to ascend to the sky are those ruffians and hooligans on the streets of the capital. They first took refuge in the eunuch, and then they could approve the skin of this brocade guard.

Those who were really born in the Jinyi Wei family rarely went to a powerful eunuch like Wei Zhongxian. One is that Jinyiwei is inherited from father to son, and there is nothing these people don't know about the secrets in Jinyiwei. As the eagle dog of His Majesty the Emperor, he has seen a lot of powerful ministers like the Ming Dynasty, but today, Jinyiwei is still there, and those powerful ministers don't even know their descendants. Therefore, the real Jinyi guards know who they should be loyal to.

The second is that after being kept in captivity in the capital for more than 100 years, the smell of blood on Jinyiwei's body has long been indifferent. It's okay to let them chase the gangsters on the streets, but if they let them take the lives of the whole family to make a fortune, then you still have to go as far as you can.
