Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters young and cunning
There is a huge flow of people and busy traffic; there are row upon row of flowers and blooming flowers.
The air is filled with the prosperous smell of the capital, the smell of rouge and gouache on women, the aroma of wine and tea in wine shops and teahouses ferment in the air, brewing the prosperity of this prosperous age.
Although it was not his first time to come to the capital, he was still shocked by the prosperity of the capital. Zhu Pingan entered the city gate and looked at the prosperous capital, and he felt a sense of pride. This is the largest and most prosperous city in the world.
1. Compared with it, any European city in this era is too rustic; as for the cities in America, which are still under the rule of Indians, they are even more backward and incomparable.
Zhu Ping'an led the horse into the capital, disappeared into the crowd, followed the streets where the shouts and bargains were heard, found a wine shop, and walked straight in.
Don't be in a hurry to go to the Ministry of Punishment to complain. Let's wait until you have filled your stomach and settled down.
When he arrived in the capital, Zhu Pingan was thinking about a question: should he go to dinner first or go to Linhuai Marquis Mansion first.
In addition, Zhu Ping'an is not going to stay overnight at the Linhuai Marquis Mansion this time. He stayed at the Linhuai Marquis Mansion last time during the imperial examination. That was a short period of time. This time he is serving in the capital. I don't know how long it will be.
It would be too embarrassing to just eat, drink, and live. On the other hand, the Marquis of Linhuai went to the coast to serve. Now, except for Fatty Zhou, the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion is full of female relatives. I feel a little uncomfortable staying in the Marquis's mansion anymore.
Too suitable.
However, I still have to go there first. After all, I am now the son-in-law of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. When I come to the capital, I always go to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion to say hello. Of course, I have to fill my stomach first before going.
This is a small restaurant, but the business is very good. Several waiters are carrying wine and food back and forth between the tables and chairs. From time to time, the sound of diners drinking and laughing can be heard in the restaurant. Zhu Pingan found an empty seat and sat down. When the waiter came to entertain him,
I ordered one fried tripe, one braised and roasted, and a bowl of mixed liver soup, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
This small shop at the foot of the Emperor of the Imperial City also has an air of atmosphere, the dishes are generous, both the presentation and the craftsmanship are exquisite, and the taste is very delicious.
After having a full meal, and having the last mouthful of soup in his stomach, Zhu Ping'an checked out the shop, led the horse and headed towards the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
When Zhu Pingan was on his way to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, the news that Zhu Pingan had arrived in the capital had been handed over to the desk of the Jinyiwei commander Lu Bing by the Jinyiwei. It seemed that Zhu Pingan had not entered the capital at the gate of the city.
By then, the news had already spread.
What is Jinyiwei?
This is Jin Yiwei! The most professional spy in this era, as long as they don't want to find out, there is nothing they can't find.
The common people in the Ming Dynasty changed their colors when they heard the Jinyi Guards. In fact, it should be the officials of the Ming Dynasty who changed their colors when they heard the Jinyi Guards. The Jinyiwei's supervision and reconnaissance of the Ming Dynasty officials were the top priority of their work. The original reason for the establishment of the Jinyiwei was the struggle between the imperial power and the civil servants.
If you need it, know your enemy and know yourself and you will be able to fight a hundred battles. The Imperial Guards are the emperor's eyes and ears, and they are also the emperor's tool to maintain imperial power.
The inventor, Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang, was trying to conquer the world. After becoming the emperor, he lacked a sense of security. He was afraid that his ministers would rebel against him, so he paid close attention to every move of his ministers. Not only did he monitor the words and deeds of his ministers at work,
That means you have to control every move you make after coming home from work.
During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the civil servant Qian Zai was ordered to compile the "Book of Mencius' Days". The work was quite hard and it was common to work overtime. One time when he returned home from the court, he felt sore and exhausted all over his body. He was moved by the scene and wrote a poem in the study: "Four drums, dong dong, rise."
It's too late to put on your clothes and go to court at the Meridian Gate. When will you be able to have fun in the countryside and sleep until the food in the world is ready?
The next day, Qian Zai was announced to the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang. Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Qian Zai with a smile and said, "I heard that Aiqing wrote a good poem last night, but I don't mind that Aiqing came to court late. Is it useful?"
Worry is better?"
"The humble minister is aware of his guilt, and the emperor is wise. The word 'worry' is much better than 'chi'." Qian Zai was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat on the spot. He was glad that he did not talk nonsense last night, otherwise today would have been much worse.
"Actually, my dear, you are much happier than me. But I have to wait much harder than you." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and shook his head, and then improvised a poem, "I got up before the ministers got up, and before I got up, the ministers have gone to bed."
Sleeping. Why is it that the rich man in the south of the Yangtze River is still wearing a quilt when the sun is three feet high?"
From this, it can be seen that Jinyiwei supervises all civil and military officials to such an extent that they do not even let go of private matters back home, let alone public matters.
Because Jinyiwei monitors all civil and military officials in the world so pervasively, it is not surprising that the news of Zhu Ping'an's visit to Beijing reached Lu Bing so quickly.
Lu Bing took the paper with the message in his hand, read it and put it back on the table, and then took out another letter. There was a word "李" in the signature of the letter, and the other two words were covered by Lu Bing's hand.
Blocked and cannot be seen.
Lu Bing read the letter twice, smiled slightly, and then threw the letter into the stove nearby and burned it.
"Sir, would you like to pass on the news of Zhu Zihou's arrival in the capital to Mr. Yan Ge?" A guard in Jinyi stood at Lu Bing's head with his hands raised and asked respectfully.
Lu Bing looked at his Jin Yiwei with a smile, then waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Old Yan Ge has been presiding over the fasting ceremony for the past two days, and I haven't slept for two days. I finally got the grace of the Holy One to go back to rest this morning. Today
Don’t spare Yange’s old dream for such a trivial matter.”
"Your Excellency, you are so considerate that my subordinate almost did something bad."
Jin Yiwei immediately apologized and felt like he was in a state of enlightenment. Yes, what could be more important than Master Yan’s rest? Master Yan is old and has been busy fasting and not sleeping for two days. If he disturbed Master Yan’s rest, let Master Yan
If something goes wrong with your body, you can't afford it.
As for Zhu Ping'an's memorial, it has been a long time coming, and there is no rush for it. Moreover, how can this matter be compared with Master Yan's body?
"It's okay, you young people can't hold their breath. You should think twice before doing anything in the future. It will be very beneficial to your future growth." Lu Bing's eyes fell on Jin Yiwei for two seconds, and he waved his hand.
"Thank you for your teaching, sir." Jin Yiwei knelt down and thanked him.
"Okay, from now on I will have a hard time running errands. I have to rely on you to secure my position as an official." Lu Bing waved his hand, signaling Jin Yiwei to resign.
After the Jin Yiwei retired, Lu Bing took another volume and started to read it. If Zhu Pingan were here, he would be surprised by the page that Lu Bing turned over. The content of this page is exactly what Zhu Pingan gave Zhang before leaving Beijing.
The article "Houheixue" written by Siwei and others.
"What a clever man. He sees things so clearly, but why did he get such a memorial in such a confused manner? He is still young and easily impulsive." After Lu Bing read it, he shook his head slightly and commented. (~^
