Borrow the day to change the day

() Just as the soldier was about to call the police, because the sound was getting closer and closer, he could tell that the sound came from inside the capital city, so he let go of his heart and looked up in the direction of the sound. past.

His companion was also alarmed at this time, and walked over to look in the direction of the source of the sound with him.

After a while, I saw lights protruding from the roof of the house in the distance. Slowly, more and more, brighter and brighter. All reflected red.

Soon, the flame turned around the blocked house and appeared on the straight street.

At this moment, he could see clearly that the ones holding the torches were two rows of fellow robes, both of them belonged to the commanding department of soldiers and horses of the five cities, and his brothers could be separated even though they were far away.

Between the two rows of soldiers was a row of carts, which seemed to be carrying things.

The two guards were a little strange. Why did they dispatch so many people in this cold and dark weather?The two guessed the reason from each other, so they forgot to report to the leader.

When the team was about to reach the boundary of Wang Gongchang, a group of people at the front of the team urged their horses to leave the team first and came to the gate of the refugee camp.

Such a big commotion finally alarmed the leader of the guards. He ran out and saw that the three leaders were the right servant of the Ministry of War, the left servant of the household department, and a deputy commander of the command department.

Why did the big shot come here.The leader also felt very strange, but he didn't dare to neglect, and hurried up to greet him.

The right servant of the Ministry of War sat on the horse, as if he didn't see the leader coming up to salute, and ordered him directly: "Send soldiers quickly to divide the people into several large blocks, so as to prevent the people from rioting after a while."

Although this order was a little strange, but the level difference was too great, and I didn't dare to ask the reason, so the boss obediently arranged it.

The refugees in the house were fine, but the refugees in the open air began to pay attention when they saw the movement here.

Immediately after seeing the guards in full armor, they began to intersperse among them, dividing them into pieces, and they began to panic. What is this for?

I can't blame them for thinking this way. They haven't moved for several months, but now they are suddenly divided into pieces. People always have a sense of fear of the unknown.

The refugees are finally moving, no longer like statues.But he didn't dare to move too much, he just turned his neck to communicate with the people around him.

Soon, the soldiers separated the refugee camp into several large blocks.

The soldiers who came later lined up at the gate of the refugee camp, standing behind several important figures.The gathered torches were shining brightly and attracted everyone's attention.

The left servant of the household department urged the horse to take a few steps, raised his voice, and shouted to the refugee camp according to the instructions of the minister of the household department, Bi Ziyan: "The emperor heard the performance of Uncle Zhongxing and knew the danger of your situation. Shocked and disturbed, so according to the method played by Bo Zhongxing, saving you is equal to suffering. Now, give you extra meals to satiate you; add charcoal to you to warm up. There are still some measures in the future, please Wait for it."

The voice of Tobu Zuoshilang was particularly loud in this empty and quiet space.The ups and downs of the voice make it possible for people to hear the words clearly.

Before the refugees could hear clearly, they responded.Some soldiers with loud voices arranged by the deputy commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Command Division began to repeat in unison the words of the left minister of the household department just now.

The entire refugee camp was silent, and the refugees who were too far away before could not hear clearly were listening hard.And the refugees who were close and heard clearly before couldn't believe their ears, and they were also listening carefully, wanting to hear clearly again.

After all the refugees could hear clearly, the camp slowly began to boil. Some were crying loudly, some were laughing, some were muttering to themselves, and some were in a daze without making a sound.Of course, there are also those who, after hearing the good news, relax their minds, but are taken advantage of by the god of death and pass away with joy.

The voices in the camp gradually converged into one voice, a loud voice: "Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!..."

After a while, starting from one person in a corner, it spread to the surrounding people, and finally shouted out another blessing: "Uncle Zhongxing, live a long life!"

Uncle Zhongxing and Zhong Jinwei, of course, didn't know that he was also missed by the refugees.

At this time, he was asking Emperor Chongzhen a very important question: "Your Majesty, the former minister suggested that Dongchang and Jinyiwei should be responsible for the organization and supervision. I wonder why Your Majesty did not agree?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhong Jinwei mention this question to him, he frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then said to Wang Chengen who had been serving him all the time: "Big companion, you go back to have dinner first, I am here to chat with Master Zhong, no need serve."

Wang Chengen knew that Emperor Chongzhen probably didn't want him to know, so he didn't dare to delay and bowed out.

Then Emperor Chongzhen asked all the maids in the palace to withdraw, leaving only Zhong Jinwei in the Wenhua Palace.

"Master Zhong, what do you think of the factory guard?"

Zhong Jinwei was very happy to see Emperor Chongzhen asking this question, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I also want to tell you about the factory guard."

"The reputation of Dongchang and Jinyiwei is not very good in the imperial court, and the reputation in later generations is not good. But I feel that no matter how bad Dongchang and Jinyiwei are, they are His Majesty's minions."

"For example, Your Majesty is a fierce tiger, the king of beasts. All the beasts dare not disobey because they are afraid of His Majesty's fangs and claws. But one day they said that His Majesty's claws are too sharp, and they will destroy the ground when walking." Oh, Your Majesty, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand this sentence. It’s fluent. It means one, that is, your Majesty’s minions are not good. I suggest you cut off the claws and grind the teeth. In this way, everyone will be happy and praise you. Your Majesty is wise."

"Master Zhong means that if I ground the factory guards, it is like a tiger without fangs and claws?"

"Exactly, I have some ideas, just want to tell His Majesty, there is no difference between factory guards."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded to see what Zhong Jinwei had to say.

"If the factory guards had been active outside before, His Majesty would not have been ignorant of the situation of the refugees. Perhaps some courtiers did not tell His Majesty for the sake of His Majesty. But whether the people of Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment will eventually be counted on His Majesty. .”

"If there were factory guards who were active outside before, the rape case on the city wall of the capital might not be discovered until the Jianlu bombardment, and His Majesty could have dealt with it earlier."

"Also, the actual military situation in Liaodong, the actual situation of the armies in various places, the people's livelihood, the officials, and the factory guards can all be reported. Your Majesty will have one more channel to get information, so that you won't be fooled by civil servants and generals."

"In other words, the factory guard is His Majesty's eyes and ears, a sword hanging over the heads of civil servants and military generals, so that they dare not act too blatantly, and the administration of officials will not be too corrupt."

Emperor Chongzhen sighed, looked at Zhong Jinwei sincerely, and said, "Master Zhong, I know that you are from later generations, and you want to help me manage this country well and build Ming Dynasty into an empire that never falls. In this regard, I follow your advice." You can see it with your eyes and feel it with your heart.”

Zhong Jinwei laughed when he heard the praise.

"I also know the benefits of factory guards, but you don't, I'm afraid!"

What's going on, Zhong Jinwei blinked and looked at Emperor Chongzhen curiously, trying to understand what Emperor Chongzhen meant by saying this.

Without waiting for Zhong Jinwei to ask, Emperor Chongzhen explained: "Master Zhong may not know how powerful the factory guard is. When I was still the king of Xin, there was a maid named Hongmei who served me wholeheartedly. She is a side concubine, but just because she said something bad about Wei Zhongxian, she disappeared in the palace the next day and never saw her again. It was only later that the factory guard overheard her words and gave her to It’s terrible. Master Zhong, you must know that I was the only one by her side at the time, so I was terrified for a long time.”

Emperor Chongzhen paused for a moment to ease his emotions, and then said: "This is not the real reason why I am grounded by the factory guard."

"What is that?" Zhong Jinwei was very curious.

"Do you know why I finally changed from King Xin to Emperor?"

"I know, because Emperor Tianqi has no heirs, and he likes His Majesty very much, so he made His Majesty the emperor."

"But do you know why the emperor has no heirs?" Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhong Jinwei with a trace of anger and fear.
