Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

The night wind blew, the bonfire swayed, and in the hidden places around the camp, several Jinyi guards could be faintly seen talking in low voices. It was really boring to stick to it all through the long night.

To the northwest of the camp, under the big tree, Li Xiu had already been sound asleep. At some point, a strong wind suddenly blew by, blowing the door of the carriage, and there was a slight knocking sound.

Under the tree, Li Xiu also woke up suddenly, and subconsciously grasped the big knife beside him. He looked around with terrifying bloodthirsty eyes, and after confirming that the surroundings were calm, the terrifying bloodthirsty intention slowly faded away.

"call……"

He let out a long breath and leaned against the bottom of the tree again. Li Xiu's eyes were blank, looking at the bright stars in the night sky. Maybe it was the dead of night, but the memory that seemed to be long ago also surfaced in his heart.

"Ah……"

As if remembering something, Li Xiu couldn't help showing a self-deprecating look on his face.

After a while, lost in thought, he casually touched in his bosom, and the booklet appeared in his hand.

Brilliant!

The three simple and simple fonts are strong and powerful, and the paper cover has turned yellow and rolled up at the corners. It is obvious that his previous owner has read it a lot.

Randomly flipping through the cover, on the pages of the book, there are lines of small characters and patterns coexisting, and in the blank space of the pages, there are lines of notes that were added later.

With just a quick glance, Li Xiu's casual expression suddenly became serious.

The book was flipped page by page, and the words and patterns recorded in the book slowly took shape in his mind. After about half an hour passed, after reading it several times, Li Xiu finally put the book down.

Man Niu Jin sounds like an extremely rough name, but the content is far beyond Xu Tianya's expectations.

Li Xiu originally thought that it was just a superficial martial art, but he didn't expect that it was an extremely exquisite method of energy movement!

The so-called movement strength refers to how to use the strength of the human body.

If an ordinary person who doesn't understand martial arts has a lot of physical strength and can use three or four points, he can be regarded as a natural talent.

If you practice martial arts, you understand the mysteries of qi and blood, and with the ingenuity of martial arts, your body strength is very strong, and you can completely burst out.

And this brute force, according to the records in the book, when one cultivates the brute force to the deepest level, it can even burst out with strength several times that of the body...

Chapter 25 Bullish

Judging from the notes on the booklet, this practitioner should have reached a profound level, and can completely explode with twice the strength of his body!

It's just that the records in the book are quite clear. This kind of outbreak can only be used as a trump card. If it explodes for a long time, the damage to the body will be great, and in severe cases, it may even lead to sudden death!

Naturally, it is extremely difficult to practice such a miraculous method of energy movement.

It not only involves the muscles and bones of the human body, but also involves many methods of blood circulation. If Li Xiu hadn't practiced medical skills and had a good understanding of the human body and the circulation of Qi and blood, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to understand it!

"It seems that it is destined to go on the fierce road of opening and closing!"

After the book was closed, Li Xiu couldn't help shaking his head.

The Polu sword technique is originally a strong and fierce sword technique, taking the path of opening and closing, and finally overwhelming people with force.

And this volume of Brilliant Strength, the biggest use is to increase the strength.

Between the two, it fits quite well!

As his thoughts flowed, Li Xiu stood up and slowly pulled out the Yangyuan pile, his mind was clear, and it was very easy to feel the flow of Qi and blood.

In my mind, the practice of Man Niu Jin also emerged.

He carefully followed the practice method recorded by Man Niu Jin, feeling the strength and blood.

In just a quarter of an hour, Li Xiu had to admit that this brute strength method looked complicated, but it was actually even more complicated!

The coordination between muscles and bones, plus the method of blood circulation that is different for each movement.

The most important thing is that when fighting, fighting is often a matter of an instant.

It is not easy to get started with it, but it is even more difficult to achieve proficiency in it, and even achieve it in an instant in actual combat!

However, no matter how difficult it is, the reward after successful cultivation is worth it.

After several months of tempering and fighting, Li Xiu naturally knows how effective this bullshit is!

Even if it can only erupt in a short period of time, the battle of life and death is often decided in a short period of time. If the entanglement is endless, it only takes one move to erupt.

Life and death are only between one move!

As his thoughts flowed, Li Xiu glanced around the entire camp, his thoughts were silent, and he started the practice of Brilliant Strength again.

After more than an hour, Li Xiu finished his practice of bull strength and fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, there was a sound in the camp. Li Xiu had already woken up. After checking the injuries of the seriously injured, the camp was also packed up and set off again.

His body was injured, and Li Xiu couldn't ride a horse, so he had to sit on the frame of the carriage, and followed the convoy, wandering towards the capital.

Perhaps because of the attack, Jin Yiwei was obviously extremely vigilant along the way. Several teams of rangers were always cruising around the convoy. When they encountered danger, they would send Jin Yiwei to check. After confirming that there was no danger, the convoy would pass quickly.

Feeling the tense atmosphere, Li Xiu couldn't help becoming vigilant. Li Xiu didn't dare to forget the previous ambush attack. If Li Ruolian hadn't brought someone to appear in time, he might have been buried there directly.

Looking around, he couldn't help looking at the carriage in the middle of the motorcade, where the censor named Zhou Zongjian was imprisoned.

It is very obvious that the previous bandit ambush must be because of this person, otherwise, with the status of Jin Yiwei's emperor's pro-army, how could a mere bandit dare to offend.

This arrest is also very obvious, and it must have involved some kind of game above the court in the capital.

"The Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party?"

Subconsciously, this idea popped up in my mind.

If he remembers correctly, it should be the second year of Tianqi, when Wei Zhongxian is expanding his power, and above the Ming Dynasty, the Eunuch Party and the so-called Donglin Party are fighting fiercely.

Although he still doesn't know the specific situation of the court, but only relying on his understanding of history, Li Xiu naturally understands that Wei Zhongxian, who seems majestic and mighty and known as nine thousand years old, is just a loyal dog of the emperor.

The battle in the court can be regarded as a power struggle between the emperor's dog and the Donglin Party who occupy the court.

This is also a feudal dynasty, after the civil and military imbalance, the inevitable situation.

Without the mutual checks and balances between the civil and military, the civil servants of the imperial court are dominant. It would be fine if there were battles among the civil officials, but the frightening thing is that the Donglin Party has completely gained the absolute upper hand from the struggle between the civil officials.

A single large and highly unified civil service organization has undoubtedly had a huge impact on the imperial power. The only thing the emperor can do is to use the eunuch, a family dog ​​that is completely attached to the imperial power, to push him into the court. Gloves, fighting for power with civil servants.

But this era is an era in which literati are supreme and scholars completely occupy all the right to speak.

Even if the eunuch, or the imperial power, has the upper hand for a while, it is only for a while...

And for this momentary advantage, but also bear the eternal infamy!

After all, the pen and ink of a scholar has been written for thousands of years...

Thinking up to this point, Li Xiu suddenly thought of himself.

When he joined Jinyiwei, he was born to stand on the opposite side of scholars. If he achieves something in the future, his infamy through the ages will probably be indispensable in the history books!

"hey-hey……"

He suddenly smiled and wiped the blade lightly, the bloodthirsty feeling suddenly became strong.

How can a person care about other people's opinions when he lives for a lifetime, just follow his heart!

"What are you thinking, here, I'll give you a new knife, Master Qianhu will reward you!"

Just as Li Xiu was thinking wildly, a brand new long knife was also thrown over.

He caught it subconsciously, and saw Xu Tao driving the horse and the carriage side by side.

"There should be no accidents on the road, so don't worry!"

"Are you thinking, as Jinyiwei, the Son of Heaven is in charge of the army, why do bandits dare to attack us?"

Hearing this, Li Xiu was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at the carriage where Zhou Zongjian was being imprisoned.

"Yes, it's because of this dog officer."

Xu Tao nodded, looked around at the mountains on both sides, and sighed: "You have to be mentally prepared, the current Jinyiwei is not as majestic as you imagined."

"Most of the bandits and bandits outside the capital are vicious dogs secretly supported by powerful families in the capital. They have violated their interests. They don't care who you are..."

"We Jinyiwei, most of the time, can only be a man with our tails between our legs. It's better now. Nine thousand years old is in power, and we can occasionally show awe. Like before, we just go out and hang around, and there are officials who criticize us. Life is suffocating. Quite..."

"Also, don't think that Jinyiwei is just as powerful. These brothers are cultivated one by one by the adults of Qianhu. thing……"

"You came to the capital this time, and it happened to be with you to see and understand... Also, Qianhu has decided that this time he will return to the capital, so he will let you enter the Jinyiwei in advance and give you the position of Xiaoqi. When the time comes, your team will I'll leave it all to you..."

Chapter 26 Jinyiwei!

Several hours passed, and the outline of the capital had already appeared indistinctly in everyone's field of vision.

This is the first time that Li Xiu has really seen a large city in this era. Before living in the wilderness, the top-level city he saw was just a dilapidated county town.

This was the first time he had seen a towering city like the capital.

The city is majestic and solemn. Although the city wall is a little old, it still gives people a sense of indestructibility at a glance.

It's really hard for Li Xiu to imagine, if there are soldiers in this city who are willing to defend it to the death, how much life would have to be sacrificed to break through the city.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, outside the capital, Jin Yiwei naturally changed his previous cautious appearance, and passed through the city gate mightily.

Not to mention the common people business travelers at the city gate, they were as fearful as tigers, all of them lowered their eyebrows and obeyed their promises, and dared not say anything more.

Li Xiu sat on the carriage, although he could not be said to be an angry horse in fresh clothes, but thanks to the blood stained on his body, he was also full of murderous aura.

Looking around, even if there is a mutual gaze, it will flash at the touch of a touch. This kind of scene can't help but make Li Xiu feel a strong sense of strangeness in his heart.

Drunk on the knees of a beauty, wake up and take control of the world!

If you are lucky enough to be in this era, if you don't live a vigorous life, wouldn't it be a waste of this opportunity to travel.

It doesn't matter if you have a good name in the history, or you can get a bad name through the ages!

For this era, he has too many longings!

A blazing flame burns in my heart, and there is nothing like this!

When the convoy passes through the city gate, there is a straight and wide street. The street is full of traffic, people coming and going, and it is very noisy.

At this moment, when they saw the Jinyiwei convoy approaching, they also consciously backed away.

Although Jinyiwei has been in decline for a long time, the status of the emperor's pro-military has always been maintained. Due to its noble status, Jinyiwei's yamen are not scattered in the lanes of the capital like other pro-military yamen.

It is close to Chengtianmen, the main entrance of the imperial city, on the west side of the Thousand Steps Corridor, adjacent to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, across the street from the Six Departments on the east side, and is located in the seat of the core authority of the imperial court.

Of course, Li Xiu didn't know about this, but he couldn't help the man in Jin Yiwei who was driving next to him.

Of course, this may also be due to seeing Li Ruolian's attention, followed by his fawning behavior.

Li Xiu sees this very clearly.

Through this Jinyiwei man named Zhang Wu, Li Xiu also had a clear idea of ​​Jinyiwei for the first time. The movie images about Jinyiwei in his mind gradually dissipated, and instead formed the real Jinyiwei of this era. .

Jinyiwei belongs to one of the twelve guards of the Shangzhi Imperial City, but because of its special duties, its status is also extremely special.

As the emperor's pro-army, Jin Yiwei almost took over most of the guarding matters related to the emperor.

For example, guarding the gate of the palace, guarding the outside of the palace during the court, or the emperor traveling to sacrifice, are all in charge of Jin Yiwei...

Of course, if it was just these things, it would be difficult for Jin Yiwei to have the reputation of making children cry like they do now.

The real special feature of Jin Yiwei is that it is independent of the rules and acts as the direct will of the emperor.

After all, under normal circumstances, if the emperor wants to dispose of a person, he must at least pass the deliberation of the court, and then the court will arrest the person, and the court's disposal is within this system of rules.

But Jin Yiwei has these functions, arresting people, imprisoning them, judging them, and disposing of them!Even diplomacy and military affairs!

It has completely formed a closed loop, completely breaking away from any rules other than the Son of Heaven.

This kind of existence that is not restricted by the rules, in the eyes of the gentlemen in the court, is a scourge. After all, no one wants to be watched by others all the time. how did you die...

The organization of Jinyiwei is also very simple. The third-rank Jinyiwei commander is the largest, and below are the two commanders who are the deputy commanders. The grade is four grades.

These few are the core leadership of Jinyiwei.

Further down, there is Fusi, Nanbei Town, the fourteen thousand households.

Nanbei Zhen Fusi, this is naturally prestigious.

Nanzhen Fusi is mainly responsible for the internal supervision of Jinyiwei, while Beizhen Fusi, Jinyiwei's evil name, at least 90.00%, is the credit of Beizhen Fusi, the famous prison is under the jurisdiction of the town Fusi .

And down there are [-] households. Of course, there are only [-] households at present. Among them, the banner-bearer thousand households were changed to banner-bearers during the Yongle period.

And the other thousand households constitute all the responsibilities of Jinyiwei, including those in charge of the emperor's ceremonial guards, some in charge of the guards of the palace, some in charge of arrests and battles, and some in charge of internal supervision and punishment...

All in all, Jin Yiwei's role in Daming is almost like a small imperial court, there is nothing that Jin Yiwei can't do!

Of course, most of the time, in addition to their own responsibilities, other things, the current Jin Yiwei can only help one or two from the sidelines, for fear that if they go too far, they will be impeached and sent to prison.

Moreover, according to what Zhang Wu said, Jin Yiwei's authority is not as clear as it used to be.
