The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 54 Appointment
The Imperial City Division is the most secretive army in the Forbidden Army. It is independent of the Second Division and the Three Yamen, and directly obeys Emperor Yong's orders.

They are not only in charge of the prohibition of access to the palace, but also walk through the streets, network public sentiment, and supervise officials.

Ten years ago, the Spring River Huayue Tower entered the capital and developed into the largest commercial building in the capital year by year. Such an obvious symbol has become the key target of the Imperial City Division since the beginning of its development.

The owner behind Chunjiang Huayuelou is Yangzhou Caobang.

Since the opening of the canal in the previous dynasty to connect the north and south water systems, Yangzhou has a unique advantage and has gradually become the economic center of the south of the Yangtze River. After that, a group of commercial gangs that make a living by water transportation, called the Cao Gang, emerged.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu set up a governor of water transportation in Jiangnan to take charge of the water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River.Therefore, although Jiangnan is far away from the capital, every move is under the control of the emperor.

This year's Chunjiang Huayue Tower is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, and naturally it cannot be hidden from Emperor Yong's eyes.

Li Mingji lifted up his robe and knelt down in front of Emperor Yong:

"The owner of the Huayue Tower in Chunjiang is Beizhi's adoptive father. Eight years ago when the southern flood hit, Beizhi went to Yangzhou to find his relatives. He was rescued by his adoptive father. His foster father praised me for my talent and asked me to study with him."

"Three years ago, my father was promoted, and I went to Beijing with my father. After hearing about it, my adoptive father ordered me to take care of the Chunjiang Huayue Building. Since then, I have been in contact with Chunjiang Huayue Building."

As early as when Li Mingji was brought back to the palace by Shu Yao, the Secretary of the Imperial City had already found out Li Mingji's identity and background.The concubine son of Li Jin, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was raised in the field house of his hometown in Luzhou in his early years. He was taken back to Li's family at the age of 12, and then went to Beijing with Li Jin.

Eight years ago, Li Jin happened to work in Yangzhou and lived there for five years.If Li Mingji recognized his adoptive father during this period, someone taught him carefully, and possessed such a talent for martial arts, everything would make sense.

Looking at the handsome and elegant young man in front of him, Emperor Yong narrowed his eyes slightly.

Merchants pay more attention to profit than love, and Cao Gang is on the water all year round, acting tough, no wonder Li Mingji has developed such a ruthless character.

"I have something to give you."

Li Mingji said: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

"I ordered you to interrogate Zhang Sheng last night, and I gave you a token," Emperor Yong said in a deep voice, "with this token, you can mobilize the Tianwu and Longwei armies. I want you to take these two armies to Xie Mansion .”

Li Mingji lowered his eyes and held the token in his hand: "Observe the order."

If he approached the little princess as a commoner, it would make Emperor Yong suspicious.Therefore, he deliberately released the news, handed over his handle to Emperor Yong, and finally won the trust of Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong was by no means a weak and incompetent emperor. On the contrary, he kept a low profile and kept a low profile. He used checks and balances against the various forces in the court. So for so many years, although there were many forces in the court, he never had the intention of rebelling.

Now that the situation of checks and balances has been broken, it is natural to inject new blood to maintain this balance.

Just at this time, Li Mingji appeared.

……

From Mid-Autumn Festival to Chongyang Festival, menacing autumn rain quickly swept across the capital.

The aftertaste of summer has completely dissipated, and even the wind is chilling.

Several major events have occurred in Beijing and China recently.

First, it was Emperor Yong who mobilized the Imperial City Secretary, led the Tianwu and Longwei armies, broke into the famous pin and soul caves in the capital, and dragged out the king of Taiyuan County who was drunk in the beauty's gentle hometown.

The Secretary of the Imperial City released an indictment, exposing the crimes committed by the Prince of Taiyuan and several Xie family members in the capital in the past few years, and several lives were actually involved.

The Xie family has enjoyed prosperity and wealth for several generations, and they have always acted recklessly.After all, among the big families, who didn't have a few lives in their hands?They have always protected each other, who knew that Emperor Yong would take Xie's family at this time?
Emperor Yong was furious in the court hall, cut off the princes of Taiyuan County and several officials of Xie's family, and ordered Xie's family to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors during this time and not to go out.

The second is Zhang Sheng, the former commander of the former hall, who was once one of Emperor Yong's most trusted confidants.He also received a complaint from the Imperial City Division.Over the years, Zhang Sheng used his power for personal gain, and often accommodated his family. He was deprived of his position and imprisoned.Emperor Yong also ordered that in the future, there will be no commander-in-chief of the Dianqian Division and the Guard Division, but only a few deputy envoys, and the second division and the third office will all depend on the superior.

Two big trees of power were split by lightning, and one of them was even uprooted. The capital was turned upside down overnight.

In Longevity Palace, Shu Yao was accompanying the Queen Mother.

After giving a round of needles, Elder Shuyi took off the handkerchief from the hand of the palace man, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said respectfully: "This is the end of today's treatment. I will leave first."

The queen mother opened her cloudy eyes, half-closed her eyes, and looked at the person she almost married.

He should blame her.

It was she who kept silent, ruined their wedding, and forced him to become a monk impulsively.

After 40 years of ups and downs, they are all old, but the queen mother has no children, and the elder Shuyi has never married.

"Hard."

The queen mother hoarse voice.

Elder Shu Yi didn't raise his head, he bowed his body, and slowly left Yanshou Palace.

Shu Yao was not used to the kind-hearted Elder Shu Yi who was always smiling in his memory, but now he was silent like this.

She couldn't say that she already knew about the past between the Queen Mother and Elder Shu Yi, so she pulled the Queen Mother's sleeves and picked up a light topic: "Grandmother, next month is uncle's birthday, what do you think I should give you?"

The queen mother smiled: "Your Majesty's child, he followed your mother when he was a child, and he has seen a lot of human affection. Rather than sending those gorgeous ones, Yaoyao might as well do something for him with his own hands. He must be happy."

The little princess who has never touched the spring water since childhood fell into deep thought.

Last year, she made pastries for her uncle. It was really hard to explain in words, and it was hard for him to eat them with a smile. In order to avoid a repeat of the embarrassing experience, this year, she will definitely not be able to deliver food.

After having dinner with the Queen Mother, Shu Yao walked out of the Longevity Palace, saw Li Mingji standing beside her soft sedan chair, and raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Li Mingji!"

Recently, he not only has to help Emperor Yong with affairs, but also has to deal with military affairs, so he is too busy to keep his feet on the ground.Shu Yao has been staying with the Empress Dowager in the Longevity Palace recently, so she simply told him not to come to the Huaxi Palace, and to be her personal bodyguard after dealing with the matter at hand.

Uncle is also true, Li Mingji is not iron-clad, how can he entrust so many things to him?

Li Mingji, who could change into a black military uniform, had a completely different aura.The already handsome appearance is even more outstanding, especially the appearance of riding a horse with a long sword on his waist, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"The Princess has been waiting for a long time," Li Mingji said with a gentle smile, "This subordinate has finished handling the important matters at hand, so he returned to serve by the Princess."

Shu Yao's eyes were almost glued to his thin waist, but he kept his mouth unforgiving, "Go back to the princess? The princess has already had a candidate for the next bodyguard. If you like to do things for your uncle, you can find him." go."

　Li Mingji slowly drew his sword——
