Chapter five hundred and ninety-two
Luo Yangxing! Li Xiao chewed on this name!
Very familiar, even Li Xiao had met Luo Yangxing. After the assassination of Emperor Chongzhen, he entered the Purple Mountain with five hundred guards to guard the mausoleum. Yang Sichang asked him to come out several times, but he never received a reply. This spirit of loyalty to the late emperor,
He was kept in peace by everyone in the Ming Dynasty. No one mentioned the dirty things Jin Yiwei did in the past.
The imperial court has held several meetings and wanted to transport Emperor Chongzhen's coffin back to the capital for burial. After all, all the late emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang, were buried in the suburbs of Beijing. It is still a big world now, and Zhu Youjian is a little lonely living outside.
No. A family needs to be together neatly to be called a family.
Compared with the war in the northwest, the railway construction in full swing, and the hydroelectric power station being explored, things like moving Zhu Youjian's grave are really not worth mentioning.
Although Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, mentioned it several times, he was always sent back with the word "discuss again".
The unanimous opinion from Li Xiao to Sun Chengzong is that Nanjing is a good place. There is no loess to bury people, and the Purple Mountain has beautiful mountains and clear waters. You can tell it is a good place at a glance. Where to build the mausoleum, there is no need to move it, it will waste people and money!
"Brother! Speaking of which, I have some thoughts! When Li Yongfang helped Hou Jin, Hou Jin was the main attacker and our Ming Dynasty was the main defender. If you want to bribe traitors and find out information about the enemy, Li Yongfang is definitely the best choice.
.But if you want to clean up the interior and build a strong fence, you have to rely on the imperial guards.
In the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, the roots of Jinyiwei have spread all over the world. Those people in the Southern Ming Dynasty want to replace Jinyiwei with Xiaolingwei. That is pure nonsense. To put it bluntly, Jinyiwei has many spies and spies.
Brother, you don’t even know.
Although Jinyiwei has been hiding in the Purple Mountain for these years, do you know that Luo Yangxing and the others are really idle?"
"What else can they do if they are not idle?" Li Xiao was instinctively wary of the Jin Yiwei and Luo Yangxing. The Jin Yiwei, founded by Zhu Yuanzhang and carried forward by Zhu Di, can be regarded as the most mysterious organization in the Ming Dynasty. If it is really better than
The ability to investigate cases can be ignored in the eight streets of Dongchang.
If these grandsons really want to cause trouble, they will definitely cause big things.
"Jinyi Tiqi is famous all over the world. Although it has been dormant these years, there are countless hidden stakes buried for more than two hundred years. Recently, they found out a huge case." Li Xiu spat out two flying dragon bones.
, wiped his greasy hands with a snow-white towel.
"A huge case?" Li Xiao raised his eyebrows. He wanted to hear what a huge case was.
"There is an eunuch named Xiao Dezi in the palace who often comes in and out of the palace."
"A eunuch can...!"
When Li Xiao heard that it was about the eunuch, he immediately lost interest. What kind of trouble could a eunuch cause? But as soon as he said a few words, Li Xiao stopped. An ominous premonition came to his heart!
"Of course eunuchs can't do anything important, but as long as this eunuch leaves the palace, he will go to the home of Liu Liangzuo, the head of the Department of Civil Affairs
Envoy." Li Xiu finally had time to pick up the wine glass and taste the ten-year-old Wuliangye.
"You mean...! This eunuch named Xiao Dezi often visited Liu Liangzuo's mansion and brought superstition into the palace?" Li Xiao's eyes narrowed into a thin line.
"This...! Brother, I'd better not say anything. You'd better go ask Luo Yangxing." Li Xiu saw Li Xiao's anxious look, smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, raised his neck and drank it all.
.
"There's no need to ask. Luo Yangxing must have followed you to the capital. Maybe... he's waiting outside now! Next time, just say what you want to say and fart when you want to. Don't...!"
"Porphyrin...!"
"Brother, do you believe it when I say this was an accidental coincidence?"
"Get out!" Li Xiao covered his nose with a towel. This kid's farts really stunk.
There was no way to eat this meal, so Li Xiao took Li Xiu to the wicker chair next to him. The servants brought a cup of tea, and the two brothers sat on the wicker chair. Li Xiao looked at Li Xiu with a dark face, and the tea smell seemed like
It can't cover up the smell of butt.
"See you, Marshal!" A guy wearing navy training uniform walked up to Li Xiao and stood at attention and saluted.
If he had not seen Luo Yangxing before, Li Xiao would not have believed that the guy in front of him was the famous commander of the Jinyi Guards. These days, the concept that the body is inherited from the parents and should not be easily damaged is still the mainstream.
Apart from the Liao army, only the military academy cadets shaved their hair short. Luo Yangxing in front of him simply shaved his head. And it was an obviously shaved head. If there were a few scars on this head, it would be no problem to become a monk directly.
No. Everyone in the Liao army shaved their heads, firstly because of Li Xiao's suggestion, and secondly because they felt really good after shaving their heads. Most importantly, everyone in the Liao army shaved their heads to express their loyalty to the Li family.
I don’t know what it means when Luo Yangxing shaves his head.
"Commander Luo! Sit down!" Li Xiao pointed to the seat opposite. Although the Jinyiwei no longer exists in name only, the imperial court still has the Jinyiwei establishment, so Luo Yangxing is still the Jinyiwei commander. It's just that the Jinyiwei who have lost their power now are no longer what they used to be.
The Imperial Guards with Tiqi everywhere are different.
"Thank you, Marshal!" Luo Yangxing sat opposite Li Xiao, leaning his butt against the edge of the chair in a horse-riding crotch pose. He seemed ready to stand up and reply at any time.
"Commander Luo, we are old friends. Don't be nervous. We are still the same as we were before. You may call me handsome, but in terms of age, you can be our uncle.
Haha!" Li Xiao waved his hand, and Shunzi brought a cup of tea and gently placed it in front of Luo Yangxing.
"The Marshal is joking. Although the Marshal and the Second Master are young, they are the mainstay of our Ming Dynasty! If the Marshal hadn't turned the tide, the Ming Dynasty would have been torn apart. I don't know how many people have become kings and orphans. In this capital, it is impossible to say that it will be a failure.
If it falls into the hands of the Tatars, millions of Ming people will also become slaves of the Jurchens.
Common people have become slaves, farmland has become pasture. Babies starve to death in the wild, and old people die trapped in the road. Ancestral temples have become a place where sheep are slaughtered, and palaces have become a playground for butchers. Hundreds of years of civilization have been destroyed in one day, and I am sweating.
The little luck that civilization has accumulated over the years will also disappear.
Fortunately, there is a general! Fortunately, there are hundreds of battles with the Liao army! I, the Ming Dynasty, can escape this catastrophe." Luo Yangxing stood up and sounded like a bell.
Li Xiao quickly motioned for Luo Yangxing to sit down. His voice was probably not suitable for being the leader of Jinyiwei. What secrets are there? Why haven't they all been shouted out?
"Commander Luo exaggerated. The current situation in the world is not due to Li Xiao alone. Without further ado, the second brother just told me about Xiao Dezi. I want to hear more details.
!" Li Xiao took out a cigarette and handed it to Luo Yangxing. When Luo Yangxing refused, he held it in his mouth and lit it and took a puff.
In the light blue smoke, Luo Yangxing sat upright.
"Commander! The thing is like this. Xiao Dezi often goes out of the palace to Liu Liangzuo's home. Liu Liangzuo is the head of the Qing Official Literary Selection Department. Although his official position is not high, he has considerable authority.
Liu Liangzuo used his identity to continuously collect the words and deeds of hundreds of officials, as well as the illegal activities of hundreds of officials. He used these handles to run the six ministries like chess pieces, and commanded officials like cattle and horses. And...! He also contacted Donglin Party members extensively, privately
There's something going on down there." At this point, Luo Yangxing raised his head and glanced at Li Xiao, then paused briefly.
"Ready to make a move? What are they going to do?" Li Xiao asked while smoking a cigarette.
"They...! They...! They want to push Wanzai to take charge." Seemingly taking courage, Luo Yangxing took a deep breath and expressed Li Xiao's guess.
Finally Ana couldn't stand it anymore! The little bastard Zhu Yihai finally showed his fox tail. This brother is only fifteen years old this year, one year younger than Li Hao. He actually couldn't sit still in the palace and wanted to
Restore the Zhu family's empire.
Li Xiao felt a little lonely. Zhang brought her son to herself on Changxing Island, but her other son wanted to kill Li Xiao and become the real master of the Ming Dynasty.
Killing Li Xiao means taking control of the Ming Dynasty. Li Xiao does not believe this. Politics is so complicated. Even if Li Xiao is now the most powerful person in the world, he dare not say that he can completely control the Ming Dynasty. There are still some unclear things in the court.
Thing. How can a fifteen-year-old kid control such a big stall?
The most likely possibility is that the government has fallen into the hands of another powerful minister. The emperor is still the same emperor, just a puppet! Until the imperial power controls the real power, the emperor can get rid of the identity of the tablet.
"How do you prove what you said?" Li Xiao puffed out a puff of smoke and looked into Luo Yangxing's eyes.
"I have here an autographed letter from Liu Liangzuo, which is for...Long Live Today." Luo Yangxing took out a letter from his arms and put his hands on the table. "The commander-in-chief only needs to ask someone to check Liu Liangzuo's handwriting.
I know this letter is from his handwriting."
Li Xiao put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and reached for the letter on the table. He opened the letter and glanced at it for a few times. There was no title, no signature, and nothing. He just talked about some recent events in the officialdom.
Several people were also highlighted.
One of the guys named Chen Jisheng caught Li Xiao's attention. This guy was recommended by Mao Wenlong. He is about to take up the post of principal of the Army Sergeant School!
Mao Wenlong's Army Officer School is responsible for training army officers. The Army Non-commissioned Officer School focuses on cultivating a large number of qualified non-commissioned officers to enrich the grassroots companies. The school is located in the west mountain of the capital, where the mountains are rolling and suitable for training.
Excellent soldiers drawn from all units of the army will come here for tactical training so that they can better adapt to modern warfare. The first batch of trainees has reached two thousand. Li Xiao's requirement is that five students should be trained every year after five years.
Thousands of outstanding non-commissioned officers.
In other words, five thousand elite soldiers will be stationed in Xishan. They... will obey the orders of the principal Chen Jisheng!
Five thousand elite soldiers...! The total garrison in Tongzhou New City is only this number. The garrison in the capital is only more than 20,000. Among them, the real Liao army only has two regiments.
Once Chen Jisheng wants to do something...! And the Donglin Party is secretly helping, the situation will be...!
"Chen Jisheng!" Li Xiao slowly said this worrying name.
"Oh! This person has never been an official before, and has always served as a staff member in Mao Wenlong's shogunate. Moreover, this person is very low-key and rarely interferes in the affairs of the Army Officer School. He rarely even attends banquets, and there is little information about him.
Poor." Luo Yangxing stood up and reported, but this time he didn't shout at the top of his lungs.
It seems that Luo Yangxing has already investigated. Jin Yiwei is indeed a Jin Yiwei with more than 200 years of experience. Although he has been dormant in Zijin Mountain during this period, he is still alive. Even the Army Officer Academy in Shanhaiguan cannot escape him.
vision.
"Is Mao Wenlong involved in this matter?" Li Xiao leaned on the back of his chair and asked softly.
"There is currently no evidence that Principal Mao was involved in this matter. However, Chen Jisheng had a close relationship with Mao. At the Army Officer Academy, Mao often met Chen in the study room. As for what he said, no one except the two of them knows."
"Okay, you did a good job on this matter. Since you want to do something, then come back to Beijing. The Jinyiwei Yamen is still there, and you can move back to do business. It's just that you Jinyiwei will not have the same rights as before. Zhang Huangyan will explain the specific matters to you.
Do it." Li Xiao nodded, allowing Luo Yangxing to return.
"Thank you, Marshal! I resign from my humble position!" Luo Yangxing saluted with a military salute, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
"Second brother! What do you think?" Li Xiao took out another cigarette, lit it and pondered.
"Brother, you used to say that the water in politics is very deep, and it's the things under the water that really eat people. Now I see, that's really the case. My brain seems to be incapable of playing with this thing. But Luo Yangxing is a person
, I see that the city is deeper.
He has been hiding deep in the Purple Mountain for so many years and has not come out. As soon as he comes out of the mountain, he is ready to make a big deal. Let alone the one in the palace, Mao Wenlong is the old man who has been following you since Pi Island. He is already sixty-two years old this year. According to his usual life
He is cautious and doesn't go out even if it rains. I don't believe that he is ambitious.
How you use this person is your business, but I advise you, it is always good to have an extra pair of eyes. Now it seems that Li Yongfang's hand is not long enough. After all, Jinyiwei has been a Jinyiwei for more than 200 years.
The roots are so deep!”
"Yes! The tree is big and has deep roots, but why does this tree appear at this time? I have to guard against open fire all day long, and now I have to guard against hidden arrows. I don't dare to believe what others say, but I don't dare not to believe it. Just...
It breaks my mind to think about which sentence is true and which sentence is false." Li Xiao took a long puff of cigarette and blew it out in a long breath.
"But...! Brother, the one in the palace is indeed a problem. Even if he is inactive in private, he will be sixteen next year and should get married according to the etiquette. According to the laws of our Ming Dynasty, the emperor must personally rule after the wedding.
