The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 159 Lan Yu Breaks into the Jinyiwei Yamen (Happy New Year)
Sapphire has a huge influence on the current Ming army.

This is not only because of the Second Battle of Fishing Fishing Sea. In the final analysis, his influence originally came from his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun.

Lan Yu's older sister is Chang Yuchun's main wife. Although Chang Yuchun is cruel, bloodthirsty, and slaughters the city, she is very kind to the Lan family.

When Lan Yu first joined the army, Chang Yuchun brought Lan Yu with him as his confidant and personal guard.

At that time, the soldiers under Chang Yuchun's command were very familiar with Lan Yu.

With Chang Yuchun's personal care, Lan Yu can be said to be proud in the military camp. At this time, Chang Yuchun's son was still too young, so Lan Yu had a lot of contacts in the army early on.

After all, at that time, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun could be said to be His Majesty's right-hand men, and they were extremely trustworthy.

Sapphire also behaved boldly, relying on this relationship in the military camp, she rose rapidly.

He is brave and often fights first, and even helps his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun to formulate strategies to a certain extent.

Although Chang Yuchun was ferocious, he was a pure old man, and with the help of Lan Yu, his record was even more brilliant.

For his brother-in-law, Chang Yuchun not only paid more and more attention to him, but also kept recommending him to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Chang Yuchun's sudden death, Lan Yu quickly took over Chang Yuchun's subordinates with Zhu Yuanzhang's permission.

These soldiers are already very familiar with Sapphire, and there is no point of dissatisfaction.

Chang Yuchun has almost half of the influence in the Ming army, and the legacy left by this is extremely huge, directly promoting Lan Yu to the top general level.

It was not until after the Battle of Fishing Hai'er that he reached the pinnacle of achievement and was conferred the Duke of Liang.

Looking at it from another angle, the first half of Lan Yu's life can be regarded as smooth sailing.

Chang Yuchun's daughter married Prince Zhu Biao. After inheriting Chang Yuchun's influence, he once again became the leader of the Huaixi military general Xungui Group of the Ming Dynasty.

He is also a core member of the princeling party and a confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince.

In Sapphire's own words:
What's the matter with my arrogance, this is not domineering, it's not as good as Jinyi Night Walk.

What's wrong with me grabbing some of the people's land? If the censor wants me to pay it back, I don't even give him face, so I just take it away and count it.

As the earliest rising military general of the younger generation, let alone Lan Yu really has this arrogant capital.

Lan Yu, who has never been in adversity, almost obeys the words of the prince Zhu Biao. To Zhu Biao, Lan Yu is also wholeheartedly loyal.

Of course, if it wasn't for this, Zhu Yuanzhang would have killed him a long time ago.

After all, although Sapphire has many faults, her advantages are also very obvious.

Sapphire is very smart and can endure, otherwise she would not have reached such a level.

Taking advantage of entering the city at almost dusk, the Dudu Mansion of the Fifth Army is also off work at this point, and Lan Yu's first stop is the Chang Mansion.

To say that the most trusted person is of course his sister Lan.

The current leader of the Changfu is the Lan family, so don't underestimate the influence of the Lan family.

She is the wife of Chang Yuchun, king of Kaiping. Although Chang Yuchun has passed away, and the title of king is only posthumous, the Lan family is still alive, so she can fully enjoy this honor.

His daughter is the first wife of the prince Zhu Biao, the prince's concubine, and his younger brother is the Duke of the state.

Her status is so precious that even if Zhu Yuanzhang sees her, she will give her three points of face, let alone other people.

Regardless of the outbreak of the Lanyu case or Zhu Di's death later, the Lan family has never been persecuted, and there has never been a lack of prosperity and wealth.

Changfu is a large mansion with seven entrances, and it is still in the inner city area, it can be said that every inch of gold and every inch of land.

Of course, Chang Yuchun didn't buy this yard himself, but Zhu Yuanzhang gave it to him.

After Lan Yu entered the capital, she quickly arrived at Changfu.

He is very familiar with this place, because he has a very good relationship with his sister Lan, so he will come here often.

The servants in the mansion are also very familiar with Sapphire.

After Sapphire entered the door, she didn't even need to inform her, she asked where her servant's sister was, and went straight there.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here? Didn't you go out to suppress the rebellion?"

Lan Shi was very surprised by his younger brother's return. After all, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's direct order to call Lan Yu back to Beijing, and it did not go through the Ministry of War, so Lan Shi didn't know very well.

The name Xiaoyu made Lanyu a little embarrassed, after all he was almost fifty and still called Xiaoyu.

However, Lan Yu looked at her sister's half-grey sideburns, and felt a little embarrassed, and didn't say much about it, explaining: "Your Majesty summoned me back."

When Lan heard this, her expression was a little heavy, and she said directly: "Xiaoyu, Your Majesty has something else to say."

Sapphire shook her head and said: "Your Majesty came directly to order me to leave immediately, and I can only obey."

When Lan heard this, she frowned.

He took great care of his younger brother, even caring a lot more than his own son.

In the words of later generations, it can be called Fudi Demon.

It is also because from a young age, Sapphire was almost brought up by Lan's family.

Lan Yu is not the eldest son in the family, on top of Lan Yu and Lan's family, there is another elder brother named Lan Rong, who is currently the commander of the right guard of the government army.

It's not that the relationship between the three brothers and sisters is not good, it's just that the eldest brother Lan Rong gets the attention of his parents, while Lan Yu and Lan's are relatively despised a lot.

At that time, Lan Yu was almost brought up by the Lan family. It was a very normal phenomenon in Daming that the elder sister took care of the younger brother.

Therefore, there is a big difference between Lan Yu and his elder brother Lan Rong. The Lan family has paid more attention to his younger brother Lan Yu.

"During the time you were not in the capital, a big incident happened in the capital, which involved Xiaoling. I don't know why His Majesty let such things spread like this in the capital."

Lan said to his younger brother.

Lan Yu nodded when she heard the words, the news about Xiaoling is not only spread in the capital, but also widely spread outside the capital.

When he first heard it at the post station, he was very surprised, but found that everyone did not shy away from it, so he understood.

Next, Lan Yu chatted with her sister Lan Shi about the recent affairs of the capital.

But what disappointed Sapphire was that there were not many things that had a lot to do with him.

Although Zhu Ying's existence was known in the palace, including the prince's son, no one else knew about Zhu Ying's existence.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang showed abnormalities before the early court, ministers could not ask or even investigate matters related to His Majesty.

Not to mention military officers, military officers in the capital, it is just a routine to go to the morning court every day, basically no military officer will come out to give any opinions, and the difference is not much different from the decoration.

Therefore, the Lan family has no channel to obtain Zhu Ying's existence.

The Ping'an Tea House by the Qinhuai River became famous early on, but not everyone knows the owner behind it.

And after a little inquiring, he knew that Yan Wang Zhu Di was also involved, so he wouldn't provoke him even more.

"By the way, I heard from Maoer today that His Majesty has proposed a new method of separating the military from the government. It should be to reform the military power of the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that it is not because of this that you are called back at this time."

After Lan thought for a while, she said to her younger brother Lan Yu.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu asked, "What does it mean to separate the military from the government?"

Lan shook her head and said, "I don't understand either, Mao'er is in the mansion, I'll ask him to tell you."

Sapphire nodded, and Sister Lan immediately summoned her servants, saying that Chang Sheng had summoned them.

When Chang Sheng came over and saw Lan Yu, he was a little surprised at first, then seemed to think of something, and was extremely surprised: "Uncle, when did you come back, it's great that you came back."

"How could it be so unseemly." Lan reprimanded.

Of course, he was very clear about his own son, so reckless, as if something was hidden from him.

Hearing this, Chang Sheng gritted his teeth, knowing that this matter could no longer be kept a secret, and now that uncle Liang Guogong came back, it would definitely be done.

Thinking of this, Chang Sheng said directly: "Uncle, Chang Sen was arrested and sent to the prison of the Jinyiwei Yamen."

"What, when did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?" Lan Shi was shocked when she heard this. She didn't know that her youngest son was arrested in Jinyiwei.

"Didn't you say that Sen'er has something to do, why did he go out for a few days, and why did he enter Jinyiwei's prison again? What did he commit?" Lan asked again.

"Mother, I said this because I was afraid that you would be worried. I don't know what my brother did. I went to Jinyiwei to ask several times, but I was turned back."

Chang Sheng said helplessly.

"Couldn't you ask someone to ask about it? Fortunately, you are still the founder of the country. With this title, it's useless. You can't even take care of your own younger brother." Lan Shi was furious, and yelled at Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng was so reprimanded that he didn't dare to lift his head, feeling extremely wronged.

He is only Chang Yuchun's second son, and almost all the network resources left by his father are piled up on his elder brother Chang Mao.

The eldest brother committed a crime, and it was his turn to get the title.

Hongwu was canonized in 21 years, and it has only been four years. He himself has no credit, although he is three thousand stones, but that's it.

There are even many things that need to be handled by mother Lan.

"Sister, don't blame Sheng'er, Sheng'er must have thought of many ways to come, but Jin Yiwei didn't even mention the crime?" Lan Yu comforted her sister, and then asked.

Chang Sheng heard his uncle Lan Yu speak for him, so he raised his head and replied: "I asked the people in Jinyiwei through my relationship, and the tone there was very strict, but some news came over."

"It was my younger brother who seemed to have offended the nobleman, so he was taken to Jinyiwei's prison, but it's not a serious crime. Maybe he just wants to teach him a lesson."

"It's the same, that's why I didn't tell my mother, it shouldn't take long before it will be released."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lan scolded loudly: "You rebellious son, I am so angry, what is the Jinyiwei Prison, and you still say it so lightly, you are an older brother, have you seen your younger brother, and want him It's a lot of torture."

Chang Sheng suddenly didn't dare to speak.

After listening to Lan Yu, she said: "Sister, don't worry, I will go to the Jinyiwei Yamen with Sheng'er later, and just pick him up."

When Lan heard this, she calmed down her anger a little, and said, "You rebellious son, hurry up and tell your uncle what is going on with the separation of military and government that His Majesty mentioned this morning."

Chang Sheng hurriedly described the situation in the morning.

After Lan Yu finished listening, her brows relaxed and her expression relaxed a lot, she said to her elder sister Lan Shi: "I think His Majesty called me back because of this incident."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lan also nodded, thinking that this should be the case.

If His Majesty wanted to reform the military power, he would naturally have to avoid Lan Yu. After all, Lan Yu is currently the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army Commander's Mansion, and can almost directly affect nearly one-third of the soldiers and horses in the world.

So from this point of view, Lan Yu's return to Beijing is also a matter of course.

Separation of military and government, seen in Lan Yu, will definitely affect his own power, but this is a good thing, as long as he does not directly give himself military power, Lan Yu thinks it is not a big problem.

Even if Zhu Yunxuan was made grandson, Lan Yu never thought that His Majesty would kill him. In Lan Yu's mind, he has such a great contribution, at most he would lose his military power, and it is impossible to hurt his life.

"Since that's the case, then there's no need to delay. Sheng'er will set off with me, and go to Jinyiwei Yamen to bring him back directly."

Sapphire got up and said.

"Okay, go and come back quickly, I will let the cooks prepare the meal, and come to my place for dinner later." Lan said with a nod.

With my younger brother around, it's just a trivial matter to come and go to the Jinyiwei Yamen to mention someone.

Chang Sheng also hurriedly got up to follow.

Outside the mansion, Lan Yu got on her horse directly, took more than a dozen bodyguard Tiqi, and Chang Sheng, and went directly to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

Zhu Ying took Ye Yueqing and Zhao Xiangxi back to the house by the Qinhuai River.

When he left the Tianjie Temple, he didn't ride the dragon, but rode back directly with the two girls.

It wasn't that Zhu Ying didn't live in the palace on purpose, but he knew in his heart that in terms of the current situation, it was far more advantageous for him to live in the mansion by the Qinhuai River than in the palace.

First of all, it is the integration of the forces under his command. There are many secrets buried in the frontier of the Ming Dynasty, which can be further strengthened, and his Qunying Chamber of Commerce can now be called the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, living in the imperial palace means standing on the cusp of the storm. Currently, Zhu Ying has no contact with Daming's military power.

Only after controlling a certain amount of military power and having her own right to speak, can it be considered reasonable for Zhu Ying to move into the palace.

"According to the time, Sapphire should be back soon."

Zhu Ying sat in the study of the house, silently calculating the time in her heart.

Beside him was Ye Yueqing in casual clothes, no longer Zhang Bo.

And the one guarding outside the door is Zhao Xiangxi.

In the study room, there is always a faint fragrance. Compared with Zhang Bolai before, it is obvious that Ye Yueqing's arrival has also changed a lot.

Among other things, the girl's mind is delicate, and the study is more tidy.

At this time, Zhao Xiangxi asked outside: "Master, Jin Yiwei is here."

"Come in."

A Jin Yiwei quickly came in and reported: "Your Highness, Lord Liang Lanyu has returned to the capital, and is currently at the Jin Yiwei Yamen."
