Chapter 241: Falling Water (2)
"Long live the lord, the small houses are ready as you ordered!"
Ling Han's figure disappeared, and Zhu Yunxiu was still standing at the window and looking away.
The turtle came in from outside, bowed and whispered at the door, "I don't know what sign to hang!"
In the row of small houses surrounding the outside of the Ganqing Palace, each room has a specific function, and there are small signs with names on the front of the door.
For Zhu Yunyu, these small houses will be his secretariat in the future, and even the most core decision-making place of the Ming Empire. Those who can work in these rooms are also the most outstanding officials of the Ming Empire.
"What name should I give?"
Zhu Yunxiu secretly pondered in his heart, "Cadrift, no, it's a bit too hasty from the beginning. Moreover, the ministers knew the role of the cabinet as soon as they heard it."
"Military Affairs Office?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi suddenly laughed, "No, it's inappropriate."
Looking out the window, the small houses were on the south side of the Ganqing Palace. Zhu Yunxiu felt aroused in his heart, "Call Nan Study Room!" and turned around and smiled, "Xie Jin has good calligraphy, let him write it!"
"I obey the order!"
At this moment, Zhu Yunxiu turned his head again, and several figures were coming from a distance towards the Ganqing Palace.
~~
"I will meet the emperor!"
The general of the Beijing camp, Ping'an, the son-in-law Mei Yin, Hu Guan, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, and the commander of the Jinyiwei, He Guangyi, entered the hall to kowtow.
"Flat!" Zhu Yunxiu said lightly, with no expression on his face.
After several people sat down, Zhu Yunxiu slowly spoke, "I'm asking you to talk about the big neighbour's guard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ping'an Meiyin could react, Li Jinglong and He Guangyi were moved.
"The emperor is dissatisfied with the imperial guards?" the two of them said in their hearts, and at the same time they felt a little panic.
The guards' personal army are a general term. The royal guards of the Ming Dynasty were not like the Qing Dynasty. The guards all selected their children from the Eight Banners and noble families. The guards' personal army of the Ming Dynasty were a very complex and huge urban system.
The guards' personal army also called the Twelve Guards, the Jinyi Guards, Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards, Huben Guards, etc., which were directly controlled by the emperor. In addition to the noble children, the guards were carefully selected from the army, which meant that the six counties in the Han Dynasty were good families.
At this time, there were 8,300 guards inside and outside the Forbidden City, led by the emperor's confidants, including Duke, Marquis, Boss and Princesses, and other positions of guards and commanders. Such an organizational structure not only ensures the safety of the imperial city, but also does not allow anyone to hold power.
But in Zhu Yunyu's opinion, such guards' personal troops were too bloated and had too mixed ingredients.
For example, the Jinyiwei, He Guangyi, the commander of the Jinyiwei, is the full name of the Jinyiwei Commander. He not only controls the fourteen hundred household departments in the north and south, but also has 1,500 Jinyiwei in the palace.
The strong guards outside the imperial city were mostly selected from the young army of the front army of the imperial guards. The so-called young army is the young army, all of whom are young men in their twenties. These people belong to the combat troops, which means they belong to the Beijing camp that Ping An is now in charge.
"In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the emperor's grandfather set up the twelve guards as the emperor's personal army, and the strong ones used it to protect the imperial city." Zhu Yunxiu looked at the few people and continued to speak, "The emperor's grandfather's intention is good, but so many years have passed, the imperial city guards have been in and out, and the number of people is bloated, so I intend to change it!"
For these ministers, there is no need to hide things like civil servants. Whatever you say is the most direct and effective way.
"I am the commander of the left commander of the 12 guards." The prince-in-law Mei Yin hurriedly stood up and said, "How to rectify it, please make clear what the emperor is doing!"
"Sit!" Zhu Yunxiu laid his hand and smiled, "I mean that from now on the twelve guards are united. Since it is my personal army, there is no need to divide each other. Is the number of people? It is temporarily set to 20,000 people." As he said that, he looked at the few people, "I call him Yulin Guard. I can trust my son-in-law, and you will still take charge of him."
Speaking of this, I paused and looked at the few people, "But since it is my personal army, it cannot be a good person. I must be a decisive needle inside, and I must be good at fighting outside. Therefore, in addition to my husband Mei Yin, Ping An is the commander-in-chief of the Yulin Guard!"
"I obey the order!" Ping An stood up, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Mei Yin and Ping'an are in charge of the emperor's personal army. One is the adopted son of the old man and the other is the old man's son-in-law. It is impossible for these two people to be connected in their identities!" Li Jinglong said in his heart, "We can restrain each other, and both of them are loyal!"
Thinking of it, he suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart, "The emperor suddenly reformed the guard system. Should he promote his confidant people to take charge of the guards in the imperial city?"
"You are the one who leads the army. I am hoping that you can bring out a tiger and wolf army. Don't let me down!" Zhu Yunxi continued.
"Don't worry, since the twelve guards have merged into one army, we will naturally have to remove the dross and form an army with the essence." Ping'an said, "If you can't fight, I will come and see you!"
"Let me talk about the imperial city guards!" Zhu Yunxi's eyes turned slightly, "He Guangyi!"
"I'm here!"
"The Jinyiwei in the harem will be stripped from your Jinyiwei in the future and will no longer be your subordinate!"
He Guangyi hurriedly stood up and kowtowed, "I obey the order."
For some reason, the emperor clearly didn't say anything, but his heart was beating wildly and his heart was palpitations.
"Sit there and talk!" Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand, "The guards in the palace are formed in a single army, and there is no need to be more than three or five thousand. I want to be named... I will call the guards' personal army, it's simple and clear!"
"The emperor is wise!" several people said in unison.
There were not many people in the number of people, but everyone knew that these three or five thousand must be the essence of the essence, and the army was one or ten. This personal army was directly responsible for the safety of the Forbidden City, and the leader was even the emperor's confidant.
"As for the commander of the guards' personal army..." Zhu Yunhuang's eyes swept past the ministers.
Ping An didn't respond, he knew that the errand would not fall on him.
Mei Yin stared at his toes, unable to see clearly.
Hu Guan wanted to hide behind others and just pretended that he did not exist.
Only Li Jinglong's eyes met Zhu Yunsheng.
"Choose me, choose me!" Li Jinglong screamed in his heart.
"I want to be divided into four commanders in my own army!" Zhu Yunxiu withdrew his gaze and tapped the table with his fingers.
"Hu Guan!"
"I'm here!"
"You are already in charge of Guanglu Temple and often enter the palace on weekdays. I ordered you to be the Minister of the Inner to walk in front of the Imperial Palace and command the guards' personal army!"
Hu Guan's scalp was numb and he stood up respectfully, "I obey the order!"
"Minister, what kind of official is this?" Li Jinglong became more and more confused, but then he thought about it and said with some scent in his heart, "When will he want to see the emperor? He can work in the Forbidden City on weekdays? What kind of virtue can he be?"
Hu Guan is Zhu Yunyu's heart. The future Qingyan successor will naturally be around him every day.
"Deng Ping!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly shouted to the outside world.
The guard Deng Ping was wearing a python robe and knelt at the door, "I'm here!"
"You are the guards around me, one of the commanders of the personal army!" Zhu Yunxiong continued.
Suddenly, joy came from the sky. Deng Ping was so stunned that he almost slapped his whole body, and he was speechless. "I thank you, thank you for your kindness!"
"This kid..." Li Jinglong felt even more jealous, "He...has he just entered the palace for a few years, and he has become the commander of the personal army?"
"As for the other two, after the Duke of Chu, Liao Yong, the former guard guard in the palace, was my old minister of the Eastern Palace, and was transferred back to the capital to serve as the guards' personal army!"
This candidate is not surprising. The two brothers of the Liao family were the guards and confidants that Zhu Yunyu would take every time he left the palace.
"The last assistant leader!" Zhu Yunxiu paused, "Transfer the order to the Yunnan Metropolitan Police, and the general Zhang Fu returned to Beijing to take office!"
