Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 6: Expanding Jinyiweiqi School

Two emperors died successively in January. Even if there is a new king who succeeds the great rule, the influence and turmoil caused are by no means so easy to appease.

Especially in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the performance was even more obvious. I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the new king who succeeded the throne and the temple center of the new dynasty.

Compared with the fiasco at Saarhu in the 47th year of Wanli, how much passiveness and loss it caused to the dynasty, the groups living at the feet of the emperor are more concerned about whether the successive deaths of the emperor will affect them.

At that time, the trend of thinking about changing the face of captives had not yet spread in Daming.

For this trend of thought to really spread, we have to wait until Liaozuo, Liaonan, Western Liaoning and other places have fallen successively, and the Eight Banners of Jianlu launched wars again and again, pushing the Ming army to the ground and rubbing against each other until the hinterland of the capital was broken through by the Eight Banners for the first time. Only when the trend of thought is completely formed and spreads!
There is still time.

still have a chance.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair, thinking about the current situation, and came to a certain conclusion. As long as he can bring order out of the chaos, Daming will not collapse!

But this process of setting things right is bound to be arduous.

"Sir, Luo Sigong, commander of Jin Yiwei, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

A loud voice suddenly sounded outside Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao raised his head, looked at the closed palace door, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It came quite fast.

"come in."

The door of the palace was slowly opened, and a ray of sunlight shone into the Dongnuan Pavilion. Luo Sigong, who was wearing plain clothes, walked in with his head lowered. Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong.

"Chen... Luo Sigong, Commander of Jin Yiwei, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Luo Sigong walked up to the emperor, with a respectful attitude, bowing down to the new king.

Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, but quietly looked at Luo Sigong.

Time passed minute by minute.

The East Nuan Pavilion is very quiet.

Luo Sigong, who had been kneeling all this time, started to beat faster. He didn't know why the new king wanted to summon him, and he didn't know why the new king didn't speak up. Faced with unknown affairs, he would inevitably think too much.

"Luo Qing."

When Luo Sigong felt uneasy, Zhu Youxiao said indifferently.

"Chen is here!"

Luo Sigong's body trembled slightly and he hurriedly answered.

"What does Luo Qing think Jinyiwei is?"

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushions and looked at Luo Sigong to ask questions.

"???"

Facing the new king's question, Luo Sigong's heart beat faster, acting as the commander of the Jinyiwei to act as the guard, Luo Sigong knew better than anyone else what the Jinyiwei was!
Why Xinjun asks this is the key.

From the late Wanli Dynasty when he was in charge of the Jinyiwei, Luo Sigong always wanted to expand the Jinyiwei, but the complicated political environment of the Wanli Dynasty, and the fact that the Wanli Emperor no longer paid attention to the Jinyiwei, made Luo Sigong's various ideas, after all, a fantasy.

Until the new emperor Zhu Changluo became the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Luo Sigong was not reconciled, so he submitted a memorial to expand the Jinyiwei Banner School. Unfortunately, things are not as Luo Sigong thought.

The memorial full of expectations ended up in vain, like a mud cow falling into the sea, without any follow-up.

"Is it difficult to answer my question?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong and said with a half smile.

"The minister is guilty of death!"

Luo Sigong, who was startled, kowtowed his head to plead guilty, and then said: "Your Majesty! The Jinyiwei is the emperor's own army, and the Jinyiwei must obey the orders issued by the emperor!"

"Is the Son of Heaven close to the army?"

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, he could feel Luo Sigong's emotional changes, "Then if I want to kill someone, will the Jin Yiwei dare to kill him?"

Luo Sigong's Adam's apple wriggled, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

The emperor wants to kill?
Who to kill?
Numerous thoughts were born in Luo Sigong's heart for a while, but at the same time, Luo Sigong suddenly woke up, the opportunity he had been looking forward to all this time, didn't it come? !
"No one in the Imperial Guard dares to disobey His Majesty's decree!!"

Luo Sigong expressed his position loudly and began to breathe heavier.

well.

Zhu Youxiao smiled, very satisfied with Luo Sigong's statement.

Although Zhu Youxiao knew that Luo Sigong was a political opportunist, and even his son Luo Yangxing was the same, so what?

In the current situation, Zhu Youxiao urgently needs a knife, a knife that can kill people!

The only one who can do this is Jin Yiwei.

In order to clean up the inner court with a sharp knife, Zhu Youxiao thought about it carefully and found that no other force could take its place except the Jin Yiwei.

It is said that Jinyiwei is a spy organization, but who would have thought that Jinyiwei is an important tool to consolidate the imperial power and check and balance the court?
The Ming Emperor, who didn't know how to drive the factory guards, was like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out. It looked bluffing, but in reality it was restricted everywhere.

"Get up."

Zhu Youxiao said calmly.

"The minister obeys the order."

Luo Sigong held back his excitement and bowed to the new monarch.

"I want to expand the Jinyiwei Banner School..."

Zhu Youxiao's words made Luo Sigong, who had his head bowed and stood respectfully, change his face slightly, and an unconcealable joy emerged. But what he heard next made Luo Sigong feel pressure.

"However, we have to bypass the foreign affairs department. What Luo Qing said just now, I keep in mind. In five days, I want the Jinyiwei to increase the number of staff by 5000. Once it is done, I will be promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei. If it goes wrong, Luo Qing will commit suicide and apologize."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong with deep eyes.

"I...obey the order!!"

Luo Sigong, whose heartbeat was racing, immediately kowtowed.

Intuition told Luo Sigong that the new king might make a big move, but Luo Sigong didn't know exactly what it was.

But Luo Sigong is clear that if he can pass this test smoothly, there will be great achievements waiting for him! !

"Luo Qing's son, young and promising, has been awarded Jin Yiwei to hundreds of households, come to Yuqian."

Luo Sigong, who heard this, was determined in his mind, either advance or retreat, there is no third possibility.

"My servant, thank you Long En!"

Looking at Luo Sigong, who kowtowed to thank him, Zhu Youxiao showed a satisfied smile. Regardless of the current Jinyiwei, there are no more than a thousand people in the establishment, but it is not difficult for the Luo family to expand the flag school.

There are a group of hereditary families in the Jinyiwei. These groups seem inconspicuous, but within the Jinyiwei, they are like privileged groups. Whenever the Jinyiwei rises, their status will inevitably rise.

It is not too late to discuss the matter of reforming and balancing Jin Yiwei in the future. Right now, what Zhu Youxiao needs is a knife, a knife that only obeys his will.

"I have high hopes for Luo Qing. Jinyiwei is not something that just a cat or a dog can get in. I hope Luo Qing won't disappoint me."

"I understand!"

When Luo Sigong exited the East Nuan Pavilion, his expression was a little dazed, a breeze blew, and the chill that hit his back revived Luo Sigong's spirits. When he met Xinjun just now, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and he remembered what he had done with Xinjun. After saying all kinds of words, a sense of urgency was born in his heart, Luo Sigong looked serious, and walked quickly towards the direction of Qianqingmen, he must hurry up, this rare opportunity must be grasped!
