Owe Dongfeng, what is Dongfeng?

In fact, compared to borrowing the wind, the real difficulty is probably to steer the wind.

The core of steering the wind is to make correct judgments, but how to make correct judgments?

This often requires intelligence support.

Zhu Guoqiang has always had his thoughts on this.

After all, as a modern person, the most impressive thing is probably the super agent in the movie and the organization to which the agent belongs.

Build an intelligence agency of your own.

Whether it is for self-protection or for the future, such an institution is needed, but who should be in charge of this institution?

In the past period of time, Zhu Guoqiang has been observing several candidates. Among them, there are eunuchs and civil servants in the palace, and of course, there are also people who monitor him.

In fact, if you continue to monitor your own people, they are also your own people.

"Why……"

Looking at the few more houses under the Heng City of the Wangfu, Shi Lei couldn't help but sigh as he walked towards the Prince's Mansion.

As the prince's bodyguard, he certainly knew that these houses had just been awarded to Chen Wudi, Wang Changgeng and the others by the prince.

They are all Qianhu, deputy Qianhu, but what about you?

He is also a hereditary deputy Qianhu, but he just thinks about that house. He will never have a share in it!

In fact, like Chen Wudi and Wang Changgeng, Shi Lei has had an extremely close relationship with De Fan since he was a child. Because his ancestors were the sons of Jin Yiwei who followed King De to Jinan to join the country. People like them have no future in the officialdom.

, even if they hold the position of royal guard, in fact, they have been attached to the palace for generations.

However, they are different from the secular officials of the Yiwei Department, and they are not trusted - the Jinyiwei are not only responsible for protecting the prince, but also responsible for monitoring the prince. Although they have been downplayed for more than a hundred years, these hereditary Jinyiwei of the feudal prince's palace

, have long since faded away from their original mission, but in the eyes of the palace, they will always be outsiders, but even if they are outsiders, according to the rules, the prince's bodyguards must still be them.

Jin Yiwei - is a reward given by the emperor to the vassal king. Whether you like it or not, you have to keep Jin Yiwei as your close companion. To put it bluntly, they are the spies placed by the court. It is not up to the vassal king whether he wants it or not.

"Your Majesty, please come out of Shibaihu!"

When he got off work today, Wang Xi, the personal advisor to the Crown Prince, came over to inform Shi Lei.

Shi Lei was naturally a little curious about the prince's summons. He even made a special trip to Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan was the chief prosecutor of the Changshi Division Inquisition Office, and the relationship between the two was quite close. As far as Shi Lei knew,

, because the last time the prince presented the city, all the officials, including Zhou Yuan, who shouted "The prince must die", without exception, were deeply trusted by the prince, and Zhou Yuan was naturally no exception.

"The Crown Prince invites you over. There must be something to arrange for you. Now is the time for the Crown Prince to employ people. With my brother's talents and abilities, he will definitely be put into great use by the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is an extraordinary person and worthy of your and our following."

After Shi Lei heard Zhou Yuan's words, he also fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, he said:

"I also understand these truths. It's just that Brother Zhou doesn't know my identity. To the palace, I am still an outsider. I'm worried that the prince will not trust me..."

This is the most painful thing for Jinyi guards like Shi Lei, and even the most painful thing for the civil servants of the palace. On the one hand, they have the responsibility to monitor the royal family and vassals. On the other hand, civil servants are a group of people who have been excluded from the officialdom. As long as they have a future, they

How could he be squeezed out of the officialdom?

As for a Jinyiwei like Shi Lei, apart from having a name in the Jinyiwei Yamen, what connection does he have with Jinyiwei? Does the Jinyiwei commander in the capital know who he is? Even he, deputy Qianhu, still has his father dead ten years ago.

Years later, when the prince saw that he was doing his best, he was given five hundred taels of silver. The Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division issued an official document to recognize him. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would still be his father's name registered there. It would cost more.

In a few years, he might become a gangster.

He was helpless. The reality was that for the royal guards, they, the royal guards of the palace, actually... did not exist.

When Shi Lei walked to the palace, he saw a young eunuch walking towards him and asked:

"May I ask if you are Shi Lei Shi Qianhu?"

Knowing that this young eunuch was close to the prince, Shi Lei quickly said humbly.

"Don't dare, it's Shi Lei."

The man said again:

"Then Shi Qianhu, just follow me, the prince is waiting for you."

Hearing that the prince was waiting, Shi Lei quickly followed the man into the palace.

Because the Prince's Palace was burned to the ground, the Prince always met guests in the library. After Shi Lei arrived at the library, he saw the Prince as soon as he entered the door. In fact, this was not the first time he saw the Prince. The last time he saw him

When he was there, he broke into the ancestral temple with a sword, and then, holding the tablet of Emperor Gao, stabbed to death the clan member who wanted to surrender.

From that moment on, Shi Lei believed that the prince was by no means as weak as he usually seemed.

Zhu Guoqiang, who was reading a book, looked at Shi Lei as soon as he came in.

The man in front of me is nearly forty years old, with a medium build. He looks a bit like a Confucian scholar, but he looks very strong.

As soon as he saw the prince, Shi Lei quickly bowed and bowed.

"Shi Lei, a humble official, has met the Crown Prince."

Zhu Guoqiang had always seen the actions of Ming Dynasty masters when meeting wise ministers in movies and TV dramas, so he got up and stepped forward to help Shi Lei up and said:

"Shi Qianhu comes from a royal family, why should he be so polite? Come on, let's sit down and talk first."

Although the prince didn't show off his airs, Shi Lei still didn't even dare to say so. Zhu Guoqiang was not polite and directly asked people to serve tea.

He said after the maid served tea.

"I heard Zhou Yuan mentioned that before the city of Jinan was destroyed, someone advised you to leave. You said that the Shi family has been a servant of the prince for generations. Even if their bodies were cut into pieces, they would have to die before the king. The loyalty of thousands of Shi family members

, it’s really admirable.”

Hearing the prince mention old things, Shi Lei was flattered and stood up quickly without even daring to say a word.

Zhu Guoqiang pressed his palms and asked him to sit down without being too restrained.

Shi Lei was indeed outstanding. He quickly regained his composure and began to sit down and chat with the Crown Prince.

As the conversation continued, Shi Lei discovered that the living son seemed to be interested in the Royal Guards. Naturally, he told everything he knew. The two of them were chatting happily. Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhu Guoqiang suddenly asked:

"Sishi, it's true that you are a Jinyiwei, but do you think you are from the palace or from there?"

"Of course he is from the palace!"

Hearing this, Shi Lei quickly bowed his head.

"Your Majesty, the Shi family came to Jinan with the king in the second year of Chenghua's reign. For more than 170 years, he has been a member of the royal family for a long time. His loyalty to the royal family can be shown by the sun and the moon..."

Seeing Shi Lei's great show of loyalty and knowing that these palace guards were in an extremely awkward position like the palace officials, they dared to speak with their Zhu Guoqiang sternness.

"Sishi, if I ask you to organize the royal guards in the palace and take charge of intelligence matters for me in the future, would you be willing?"

Shi Lei was stunned when he heard this, and then bowed his head without hesitation.
