Putting down the palace fan in his hand, Lin Shangli stood up, walked to the washbasin stand behind the dragon bed, picked up a silk handkerchief, put it in the basin to wet it, and wring it out.
He walked back to the dragon bed, wiped Ming Chengzu's hands, and then wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
He put down the silk handkerchief and pulled down the blanket covering Ming Chengzu.
After doing this, I picked up the palace fan and continued to shake it.
"The weather is hot. Your Majesty, you are so impatient that you are breaking out in sweat. Gongchang Mansion will not just watch such a huge famine and ignore it."
"I am worried that the food stocks in Gongchang Mansion will not be able to sustain the needs of the victims for a long time. Coupled with the prevalence of diseases, if a large number of victims die unexpectedly, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. There is a drought in Gongchang. Several nearby prefectures and counties will definitely lend a helping hand in a timely manner. In addition, the court's relief food funds are already on the way, and the disaster will be alleviated soon." Lin Shangli slowly said.
said.
"The prefect of Gongchang is after Dingxihou. Dingxihou followed his ancestors and founded the Ming Dynasty. He should be concerned about the suffering of the people. I only hope that they will go all out to put an end to this famine.
of this concern.”
"Yes. Enjoying the glory and wealth bestowed by the imperial court, they will not ignore the people of the imperial court."
"I hope so." Ming Chengzu slowly closed his eyes again, "This case of Ma Yunshan, the Jinyiwei has been seriously injured. As the first forbidden army in the capital, I cannot just watch the decline of the Jinyiwei."
"Jinyiwei is not only responsible for most of the public security in the capital, but also responsible for the honor guard when you travel, Your Majesty. Of course, we cannot let it decline. However, the Ma Yunshan case was extremely implicated, and thousands or hundreds of Jinyiwei families were executed.
few."
Ming Chengzu pushed away the blanket on his body, placed his hands on the bed, and sat up.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to rest?" Lin Shangli stopped shaking the palace fan and hurriedly stood up.
"Put on my shoes and let's go to the imperial study."
"How about you take a nap and go to the study room when you wake up?"
"I have something on my mind, so how can I sleep?" As he said that, he was about to get off the ground with his bare feet.
Lin Shangli hurriedly threw away the palace fan and held Ming Chengzu's feet in his arms: "Although the weather is hot, the ground is full of earth energy. How can the emperor step on it with bare feet? I will put on shoes for you right now."
As he said that, he reached for the socks on the side and carefully put them on, then picked up the shoes and put them on his feet.
Ming Chengzu didn't say anything, strode towards the imperial study room with his hands behind his back.
Lin Shangli hurriedly followed behind.
Entering the imperial study, Ming Chengzu sat down on a chair.
He raised his hand and pointed to the large bookshelf filled with various memorials and books by the window: "Bring me the roster of military attachés with more than a thousand households in each guard post."
"Yes." Lin Shangli responded, walked to the bookshelf, and searched carefully.
After a while, he came over holding a blue booklet.
"Your Majesty, I found it."
"Yes." In response, Ming Chengzu reached out to take the booklet, opened it, and looked at it carefully.
Lin Shangli understood in his heart that this was the beginning of the emperor's search for candidates for Jin Yiwei.
He rubbed his neck and whispered: "Is the Emperor looking for candidates for Jin Yiwei?"
"Yes, my Jin Yiwei, not to mention deputy commanders, commanders, and commanders, there are not even a few decent Qianhu now. Let me take a good look at the roster of military attachés and select some suitable candidates.
."
Ming Chengzu said without raising his head.
Rolling his eyes and taking a look at Ming Chengzu's attentive look, Lin Shangli thought for a moment and said slowly: "The emperor wants to strengthen the royal guards, and I have a suitable candidate here."
"Oh?" Ming Chengzu raised his head, put the booklet on the desk, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile: "Tell me and listen."
"Jin Yi Wei Yuan Qian Hu, Liu Rufeng."
"Liu Rufeng?" Ming Chengzu frowned slightly, "Who is this person? Why don't I have any impression?"
"In terms of personal skills, Liu Rufeng is one of the best in Jinyiwei. Back then, the emperor presided over hunting activities in Huailaiwei, and this person was one of the thousand households sent by Jinyiwei to be responsible for your safety."
Speaking of the Qianhu of Jinyiwei, it was nothing, but when it came to Huailaiwei, Ming Chengzu couldn't help but frown.
Qianhu of Jinyiwei assassinated King Zhao in Huailaiwei and was killed on the spot.
Dongchang's subsequent investigation, although there was no direct evidence, he roughly concluded that his prince was framed by others.
Later, because of the prince's accident, the investigation was put on hold.
Even now, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty is still worried about not clearing up Jin Yiwei's name.
"I remembered, was it because of the emergency that I issued an imperial edict to transfer the Qianhu to Dongchang to help protect the safety of the prison?"
"Exactly this person."
Ming Chengzu laughed: "Since he is from Dongchang, let him stay in Dongchang well. They are all my right-hand men. How can I do this kind of thing of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall."
"This person has good personal abilities and a strong personality. He is indeed a talent. But, but..." Lin Shangli's voice gradually became lower.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you are so hesitant, I feel impatient."
"This person is excellent in all aspects, but in Dongchang, there are many outstanding people, especially Xiao Chen, who is the best among the best. They say that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and this sentence has really been fulfilled in Dongchang.
Lin Shangli said softly.
Ming Chengzu chuckled, folded his hands and put them on his chest: "Why, the two of them are at odds?"
"It's not that they are at odds, it just feels like they don't have such a tacit understanding of cooperation on many things."
"Why is this?" Ming Chengzu seemed to be very interested.
"I feel ashamed to say it. Before Liu Rufeng was transferred to Dongchang, the two of them had some friction over trivial matters. I originally thought that it was just a small friction and they would just reconcile it. Who knew that after so long of reconciliation, the relationship between the two would become more than just a small matter.
Instead of being harmonious, they became more and more alienated. The other people in the Dongchang had a good relationship with Xiao Chen, so they looked indifferent to Liu Rufeng. This Liu Rufeng was not stupid, how could he not see that everyone
To exclude him? Just follow the arrangements of Dongchang and train the magic machine soldier all day long, and ignore other things."
"Two days in one day is nothing. Over time, Dongchang will inevitably become divided into factions. When Dongchang was established, it was to serve you, the emperor. If there is such disunity, its ability to do things will be greatly reduced. Therefore,
So slave..." Before Lin Shangli could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ming Chengzu.
"So, you want to return Liu Rufeng to Jin Yiwei?"
Lin Shangli smiled awkwardly: "Yes."
"You, you, what do you want me to say about you?" Raising his right hand, Ming Chengzu nodded at Lin Shangli, "Isn't it obvious to you that you want to kill the donkey? There is something going on in Dongchang, and I was so anxious that I issued an order to kill him.
They were transferred to Dongchang. Now that they are used up, they are told that this is not the case and they are not that, and they are trying every possible means to drive them back."
Ming Chengzu tilted his head and glared at Lin Shangli: "You said it nicely and recommended a person to me. You are dumping "junk" that Dongchang doesn't want on me."
"No, no, no," Lin Shangli waved his hand hurriedly, "This Liu Rufeng is definitely not trash. No matter from every aspect, he is a good talent. If he was not good, he would have been subdued by Xiao Chen long ago, and he would not
There are so many things. It is because he is almost the same as Xiao Chen. I don’t want to see Dongchang fall apart, so I have no choice but to recommend him to you, the emperor."
"Yeah." Ming Chengzu breathed out softly, "You said he is in Dongchang and is in charge of the Shenji Service?"
"yes."
"The Divine Machine Soldier is a firearms team chartered by me to Dongchang. Xiao Chen is willing to let him manage it, which shows that this person really has some skills. Okay, since you don't want it, then I will accept it for Jinyiwei."
"I thank you, Your Majesty." As if the knot in his heart had been lifted, Lin Shangli happily bowed to Ming Chengzu.
Looking at Lin Shangli's expression, Ming Chengzu couldn't help but glare: "However, let's talk about the ugly things first. If this person is not as good as you say, I will never end it with you."
Lin Shangli looked horrified and hurriedly bent down: "No matter how brave I am, I don't dare to deceive the emperor. The emperor can summon Liu Rufeng and have a look first. You can also summon Xu Kaiying, the commander of Jin Yiwei.
Enter the palace and ask Liu Rufeng how he behaved in Jin Yiwei before."
"Okay, you go now and call these two people."
"Calling them into the palace now?" Lin Shangli looked confused.
"Can't you? Go quickly."
"Yes." Lin Shangli looked anxious and walked out of the imperial study.
