The Imperial Guard is an organization used by the emperor to supervise officials, detect information, and maintain imperial power. It has been established since the founding of the People's Republic of China. After hundreds of years, it has formed a huge system. Although Emperor Xiaode's Dragon Guard is more favored, it is not as powerful as it is
After all, it is not as good as Jin Yiwei's century-old accumulation.
Because of such a powerful force, successive emperors, princes, powerful ministers, and even the entire civil service system have tried their best to get their hands into the Jinyiwei system with the intention of exerting influence.
Emperor Xiaode has been in power for four years and has already imprisoned Prince Yi Zhong and Prince Zhong Yi. Except for the Supreme Emperor who was raised in honor, he has no visible enemies in front of him.
But Emperor Xiaode clearly understood that no matter whether it was the Supreme Emperor or the two deposed kings, although the tree trunk fell down, the roots underneath were intricately intertwined, and the influence of one hair could affect the whole body.
Lin Ruhai was his closest confidant, and Lin Zhao also spent tens of millions of money to express his loyalty, and the letters he sent from time to time also expressed his clear judgment on the political situation. This was Emperor Xiaode's plan to use Lin Zhao to become the leader of Jinyiwei.
I hope he can control Jin Yiwei and make it an obedient knife in his hand.
Training new recruits, patrolling the streets for arrests, and enforcing military discipline may seem like offending tasks, but if they are left in the hands of capable and courageous people, within a few months, it is guaranteed that these uniformed guards will change their appearance.
Of course, the premise is that the person has the ability and courage.
"So, do you think you are capable and courageous?" Prince Zhongshun asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can issue a military order here. After the Jinyiwei is reorganized, even if the actor you raised dares to cause trouble in the capital, even a soldier from the Jinyiwei will dare to bring him to justice. He will not give you any face." Lin Zhao.
He said calmly.
"You... are bold!" Prince Zhongshun thought he was just joking, but he didn't expect that Lin Zhao would dare to shame him on the spot, and he said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I am a pure minister, not a powerful minister. If you say that I am bold, you are right. Otherwise, from the Ming Dynasty onwards, the Yangzhou salt merchants who are not as extravagant as the royal family and whose influence is not as influential as your elders would not let me rub him the wrong way."
Lin Zhao said calmly.
Prince Zhongshun, isn't he just a prince who pursues pure love in Jinjiang?
In addition to showing that you are the emperor's brother in terms of collecting money and taking sides, what other skills do you have?
I don't even care about the emperor, so will I care about you?
If it weren't for the purpose of experiencing the world, I wouldn't even give you the face of an emperor, let alone you?
These thoughts flashed through Lin Zhao's mind, but they didn't show up at all on his face.
"You..." Prince Zhongshun was so upset by a young man that he couldn't stand it. He stood up and pointed at Lin Zhao, wanting to scold him on the spot.
"Lao Qi." Emperor Xiaode said calmly.
Prince Zhongshun immediately lost his temper, slightly bowed his hands to the emperor, and immediately sat back on his seat, but his face twisted and he no longer looked at Lin Zhao, as if he was still angry.
Lin Zhao glanced at him and couldn't tell that Prince Zhongshun was acting.
you cat drop,
I just don't want to be your raft, but you have improved your acting skills along the way.
The royal people are indeed not simple.
He is a born Oscar-level actor.
"Lin Zhao, since you don't want to be that high-ranking official, you want to fundamentally reorganize the Jinyiwei and become the Emperor's personal army again. This idea of courage and courage is not bad. You are so young.
, I am also very pleased that I was not dazzled by this powerful person. You can do it with confidence, I will be your backing." Emperor Xiaode said in a calm tone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Zhao cupped his hands and thanked him.
"Then please step back." Emperor Xiaode said.
After Lin Zhao left, Emperor Xiaode said to Prince Zhongshun: "Old Qi, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, this boy looks young and is really a powerful character. He knows exactly what Your Majesty is going to do, and he is also prepared to offend others." Prince Zhongshun smacked his lips and sighed.
Naturally, a dignified prince would not get angry with a small Imperial Guard commander, not to mention that the other party was only twenty years old and was still a person valued by the emperor.
So he was just acting to test Lin Zhao's courage.
"Yes, I also understand the meaning of his words. Even he, a child with a yellow mouth, can see the harm done to the capital and the court by those traitors who have brought disaster to the country and the people. Naturally, I cannot let one of my ministers be the most beautiful!
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Prince Zhongshun naturally understood who Emperor Xiaode was talking about. They were nothing more than the group of enemies hiding in the dark, whose leaders were the noble old ministers headed by the four princes and eight princes, as well as some civil servants who did not care about the integrity of the monarch and his ministers.
He thought for a while and advised: "In any case, this group of people has been in business for hundreds of years and is intertwined with each other. It is not appropriate to act rashly. I think this matter should be done slowly rather than urgently. I am afraid that I have to appease them now, so it is best to give them some relief."
Arranging some errands that are just for vanity, waste money and resources, and are beneficial to us but costless."
Emperor Xiaode laughed and said: "I have already known about this matter." After saying that, he called Dai Quan in and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, you go to the Queen's Palace to convey my decree: the female historian Jia Yuanchun Jin Feng Feng Zao
Palace Minister, she was granted the title of Virtuous Concubine; Zhaorong Liu Rumei supplemented the history of Fengzao Palace Maid, and was granted the title of Yi concubine; Zhaorong Shui Wanyi was granted the title..."
In one breath, he consecrated several concubines, all of whom were girls from the families of four princes and eight princes.
After Dai Quan wrote them down one by one, he continued: "Spread the news for me again, and say that starting from the spring of next year, as long as there is a separate courtyard in the home that complies with the royal regulations and can accommodate the imperial concubines to stay temporarily, they will be allowed to do so.
Go home to visit relatives and enjoy family happiness and family love!"
When Dai Quan took the order and left, Prince Zhongshun clapped his hands repeatedly and praised: "Your Majesty, what a good trick! Those noble children did not inherit the ability of their ancestors to overcome obstacles, but they are the best at showing off their wealth and comparing. With the limelight of this marriage, they are not all fighting for it."
Building a garden will cost you your life?!"
Emperor Xiaode grinned slightly, his eyes full of wisdom, and said with a smile: "I originally thought that it would take two or three years to implement this matter. With the gold and silver sent by Lin's father and son, I can make arrangements calmly.
Until now..."
…
When Sister Feng and Jia Lian came to apologize with a lot of gifts, they happened to catch up with Lin Zhao coming back from the palace.
Seeing that Lin Zhao was so favored, he was received on the second day after arriving in Beijing, and was even assigned to the powerful department of Jin Yiwei. Seeing that he was about to spread his wings and fly high, the two of them were shocked. They were surprised by the kindness Lin Zhao had received.
Chong had a new understanding. This pair was both useless and could not afford to be too late. They looked at each other and understood, and immediately decided to use their best efforts to coax the Lin brothers and sisters.
Lin Zhao received Jia Lian in the front hall, and Daiyu received Sister Feng in the flower hall in the backyard.
In the front hall, Jia Lian talked about how innocent his family was, how hateful his servants were, how much Jia Mu missed the Lin brothers and sisters, and how many good things she had prepared. His mouth went dry, but Lin Zhao remained steady.
Holding the tea cup steadily, he smiled and didn't answer.
Sister Feng in the backyard was laughing so hard that her branches were trembling, her tongue was shining like a lotus flower, and she was praising and praising her. All kinds of good words and sentences came out one after another, almost saying that Daiyu was a fairy from heaven. Daiyu's face turned red with embarrassment.
He only chimed in occasionally and then stopped talking.
When Jia Lian and Sister Feng walked out of the Lin Mansion, the couple sat in the car and sighed at the same time.
The Lin family is not easy to chew. The second wife wants to get some money from their family, but she may make a mistake.
After Jia Lian and Sister Feng left, Lin Zhao and Daiyu returned to the room, sneered, and then said: "Our eldest cousin in the palace is probably going to be promoted to the throne, and now the Jia family will all get up."
.”
"Ah." Daiyu was happy at first, but when she looked at her brother's expression, she suddenly felt a little strange.
But she was also Bingxue smart. Just relying on Lin Zhao's eyes, she almost guessed: "Brother, what you mean is that the emperor wants the flames of my grandmother's house to be cooked?"
"Not bad." Lin Zhao nodded, appreciating Daiyu's ability to make such a judgment, but also felt that it should be done.
"Everyone in the Jia family is blindly pursuing luxury. I'm afraid that no one can see through the current situation and will not listen to any advice. Let's go to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow. I'm afraid that if time passes, news from the palace will spread. We
The next step is to go up the pole."
"Okay." Daiyu nodded, knowing in her heart that her brother was telling her to see through it without telling her, and she should try to stay away from the Jia family in the future.
