Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

During the conversation between you and me in the courtyard, the door of the study was slowly pushed open, and the figure of the young man also appeared in Li Xiu's field of vision.

"What's the matter, why are you free to come here today?"

Looking at the swaying figure at the door, Li Xiu couldn't help joking.

"It's rare to be free today. My wife has something important to come and can't come, so I slipped out..."

After finishing speaking, the young man glanced at the book of war in Li Xiu's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you are studying the book of war with your hand every day, but you don't have a chance to practice and fight in Jinyiwei?"

"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. When the opportunity comes, it will be too late to prepare!"

Li Xiu put down the book of war casually, stretched his waist and said, "Besides, whoever said that the Jinyiwei had no chance to lead the army to fight, there are quite a few Jinyiwei who have led the army in battle and made great achievements in the country."

The young man replied without hesitation: "Those are the commanders of Jin Yiwei, the pillars trusted by His Majesty!"

"You're kidding me, aren't you?"

Li Xiu glanced at the boy, and cursed angrily.

"Hey, I'm not wrong."

"However, Brother Li, if you really want to lead troops to fight, I can find a way for you to move your position. What do you think, Brother Li?"

The young man's words caught his ears, and Li Xiu was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the serious looking young man, and couldn't help feeling an inexplicable warmth in his heart.

The young man claimed to himself that his name was Liu Xin, and that he was the son of a distinguished son. Although Li Xiu didn't deliberately investigate, he had a rough guess about the young man's identity based on the clues revealed between his words and speech skills.

The young man is ignorant of worldly affairs, but he is extremely familiar with the affairs of the court, and can even know many secrets that are unknown.

Every time the young man came, and every time he went back, it was always in the same direction. In that direction, there was no high-ranking family along the way, but the location of the imperial palace.

In addition, whenever the young man talked about Emperor Tianqi, even though he would involuntarily reveal a lot of intimacy...

Liu Xin Liu Xin...

His biological mother was Liu, and he was sealed as King Xin...

The identity of the boy has long been revealed.

The younger brother of Emperor Tianqi, the current Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, and the future Emperor Chongzhen!

Of course, no matter what the future holds, his current identity is just the younger brother of the emperor. With such an identity, no matter how close the relationship between brothers is, it is somewhat taboo when it involves the court, or even himself, the Jinyiwei.

In the face of this kind of taboo, dare to say such a thing, I have to say, the more sincere this kind is not mixed with any interests, the easier it is for people to accept and even talk to each other.

After all, in Zhu Youjian's place, I don't know his identity. Besides, even if I know, the status gap between Xinwang and Yijinyiwei Baihu is very different, there is no possibility of intersection, and there is no need To woo something.

After a moment of ecstasy, Li Xiu shook his head with a smile, and declined Zhu Youjian's proposal.

He already has a solid foundation in Jinyiwei, and he has also gained a lot of fame. As long as he makes more meritorious deeds, it will be enough to support him to go further.

But if it was changed to another place, it would be all over again. Moreover, there were too many robberies in the local guards. He transferred hundreds of households from one district to another, and the white ones could be dyed black. It was really unnecessary.

But if he waits until he becomes famous in Jinyiwei, and then embarks on military affairs with great momentum, then, Li Xiu is confident that he can forcibly pinch black into white.

After all, the levels are different, and what you need to face is completely different!

Chapter 75 Selection

"That's a pity. Staying in Jinyiwei really wastes all your abilities, Brother Li."

Seeing Li Xiu's refusal, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel a pity. The two had known each other for several months, so he naturally knew very well what a genius Li Xiu, who was not a few years older than himself, was in front of him.

Everything made his eyes shine, and even completely changed his persistence and views in many aspects.

He has no doubt that as long as he is given a platform to display his talents, he will definitely surprise everyone.

"Haha, you have confidence in me!"

Just to make a joke, Li Xiu seemed extremely calm. To put it bluntly, at his age, he already has a hundred households with real power, which is already quite good.

Seeing Li Xiu's attitude, Zhu Youjian couldn't force him to do so. He exchanged some pleasantries, but suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that the Shandong war is coming to an end, and the thief leader Xu Hongru and his family members were captured alive. Escorted to the capital for trial, is this news true or false?"

"of course it's true."

Li Xiu nodded in disbelief.

"That's good. The war has lasted for so long, and it's finally over."

Zhu Youjian nodded, feeling quite relieved.

Seeing Zhu Youjian's relieved look, Li Xiu couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

This is really a bad era.

A mere group of Bailian thieves exhausted the entire army in Shandong, and the capital sent troops several times. Even so, they still let the Bailian thieves threaten the water transport several times and turmoil the capital.

It took countless manpower, material and financial resources, and in the case of an absolute advantage, it has been fought for so long and so hard, it can even be said that it has corrupted the place and left endless troubles, so it can be settled.

Even though he hasn't paid much attention to this war since he returned to Beijing, but with the identity of Jin Yiwei, he can't hide any news from him. A counter-insurgency is simply a feast of spoils.

Everyone made a lot of money, and the only ones who lost money were the Ming Dynasty and the people in the war zone.

But that's it, under the cover up and down, the anti-rebellion heroes are already a certainty.

At this time, Li Xiu didn't bother to dampen Zhu Youjian's interest. After all, the future is somewhat uncertain, and history will still be the original history. No one knows, so there is no need for him to think too much.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Erwa was asked to buy food and wine, and the guests had a good time, until it was getting dark, and Zhu Youjian left as usual.

One night passed, and the next day was another day without any waves.

Li Xiu was too lazy to waste his thoughts on patrolling the streets, so many things were distributed to the small flags, and he went back and forth between the mansion and the hundred households every day, still studying and practicing martial arts, and his life was quite comfortable.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and the capital city, which had been quiet for a period of time, was once again in waves.

The key leaders of the Donglin Party who were deposed as the people at the beginning, followed a decree and rode out everywhere, and all the key leaders of the Donglin Party who returned home not long ago were all captured and sent directly to prison, Yang Lian , Zuo Guangdou and the backbone of the Donglin leaders were all tortured to death by the factory guards.

All of a sudden, the entire capital city was plunged into turmoil. With Donglin's blood, he forged the increasingly terrifying reputation of Nine Thousand Years Old.

The entire court seemed to be ruled by the eunuchs, and with a reputation of nine thousand years, it could be said that no one in the world would dare not obey.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Li Xiu. No matter how the situation in the capital changes, he is just a hundred guards in Jinyi, patrolling the streets, dealing with trivial matters, studying and practicing martial arts, and Li Xiu lives well It's quite comfortable.

As for major events, it is not up to Jin Yiwei. In the capital, Dongchang is the real boss. Jinyiwei is already on the verge of becoming a vassal of Dongchang. Wipe your ass for the dirty work.

Li Xiu was powerless to change this situation, so he could only accept it.

The only episode in the middle was when Xu Hongru and a group of key family members of Bailian were escorted to Beijing. He led his team to serve as guards when parading the public, and then maintained order in the execution ground when he was executed. Apart from that, he still lived that life The days of doing nothing.

Of course, the so-called mediocrity is just Zhu Youjian's constant ridicule. For Li Xiu, this kind of life is quite fulfilling.

Taking advantage of the job of patrolling, occasionally killing a few small thieves, accumulating a little energy, studying and practicing martial arts with peace of mind every day, enriching myself bit by bit, the small life is quite comfortable.

Li Xiu originally thought that this kind of life would last for quite a long time. After all, although there are many trifles, there is no merit. Without merit, naturally there is no change.

Unexpectedly, a piece of news brought by Zhu Youjian made him a little restless.

"You mean, His Majesty wants to reorganize the Warriors' Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion?"

"Yes, if there are no accidents, it will start soon. At that time, the elimination and reorganization, and the transfer of soldiers and generals will all start slowly..."

"I heard His Majesty mentioned your name, Brother Li, and said that you have the talent to lead the army. This time, the reorganization of the Warrior Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion will probably transfer you there..."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian looked at Li Xiu, and couldn't help persuading him: "Brother Li, this is a good opportunity for you. Now that Wei Zhongxian is in power, the Dongchang's prestige is booming, and Jinyiwei is hardly of much use. Such a waste of time , finally bound you to learn..."

"Your Majesty mentioned my name?"

Li Xiu didn't care about Zhu Youjian's persuasion, but looked at Zhu Youjian rather strangely and asked a question.

"Uh……"

Seeing Li Xiu's weird eyes, Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment, and he hesitated for a while before explaining bluntly: "I heard from the elders at home..."

Hearing this, Li Xiu didn't know that it was definitely Zhu Youjian who used tricks in it, otherwise, no matter how much he was transferred, it would not be the turn of himself, a hundred households of Jinyiwei.

Moreover, he remembered that the reorganization of the Warrior Camp and the Four Guards Camp only started during the reign of Chongzhen, and it is only five years after the apocalypse. It would be a strange thing if there was no influence of Zhu Youjian.

The matter has come to this point, no matter what, Zhu Youjian said so, according to Li Xiu's understanding of him, it is estimated that it is a certainty.

Since it can't be changed, Li Xiu has to think about it seriously.

After all, what Zhu Youjian said was true, the current Jinyiwei is really not a good place.

In the past, Wei Zhongxian hadn't been admiral of Dongchang. After all, Jinyiwei had to rely on Jinyiwei for most things, but as Wei Zhongxian admiral of Dongchang, his power became stronger, and Jinyiwei's status became more and more embarrassing.

In the past half a year, Li Xiu has a deep understanding.

Basically, Dongchang is the leader, and Jin Yiwei is the dog!

Wei Zhongxian's glorious days are still long, if he has been a dog, no matter how comfortable his life is, he will inevitably feel aggrieved.

Zhu Youjian cut it first and then played it. It may be a good thing for him...

Chapter 76 Transfer order

"Brother Xiu, our income for two and a half years is here, a total of 530 taels of silver, our daily consumption plus the purchase of medicinal materials, etc., we have 950 taels of silver left, and some copper coins... ..."

In the study room, Erwazi was sitting opposite Li Xiu, holding an account book and comparing the silver taels in the wooden box.

After being in power for more than half a year, Li Xiu seldom took charge of affairs and never took the initiative to ask for bribes, but in this era, as a hundred households, what should belong to him, naturally no one dares to be greedy.

Being in such a big dye vat, Li Xiu didn't have to let himself get out of the mud without being stained. After all, under the big environment, if you are too independent, you are looking for death!

It's just that Li Xiu didn't bother to take care of these things, and always handed them over to Er Wazi.

"Brother Xiu, why do you want so much money all of a sudden?"

After counting, Erwazi finally couldn't help asking.

"In the next month or two, I will probably be transferred from Jinyiwei. The Warrior Camp and the Four Guards Camp are preparing to reorganize. I should go there."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiu ignored the dumbfounded Erwazi, and said slowly: "When the time comes, you will continue to stay in Jinyiwei. We will be each other's horns, and we can count on each other's support."

"As for the money, during this period of time, I'm going to find some good businesses to invest in, which can be regarded as leaving us a way out."

When Li Xiu finished speaking, Erwazi jumped up immediately and asked impatiently, "Brother Xiu, you are doing well, why did you suddenly want to be transferred?"

"You're transferred, I'm alone in Jinyiwei, what's going on..."

"Don't be surprised."

Glancing at Erwazi who kept shouting, Li Xiu pondered for a moment before explaining: "You stay in Jinyiwei for the time being, don't think so much, be at ease."

"I'll talk about everything after I get a firm foothold there..."

After talking about the pros and cons in detail for a long time, Erwazi gradually calmed down, and Li Xiu didn't give any more comfort. He said that the two of them separated this time and escaped from their own protection. For him, it was probably a good thing.

……

Imperial Palace, Xiyuan.

The sparkling Taiye Pool reflects the layers of mountains, towers and pavilions. The pool is shaded by trees and the sun is shining. It is really a good place for leisure.

The genius is bright, under the arrangement of Wei Zhongxian, the Taiye Pond is already ready, just waiting for Emperor Tianqi to come and play. Wei Zhongxian has a lot of experience in this regard.

As usual, after playing for a while and resting for a while, Wei Zhongxian honestly brought the important memorial to Emperor Tianqi.

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to be careless about this point. The master he served seemed harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, he was more ruthless than anyone else. In the hands, the scheming ability is really terrifying.

Of course, after serving Emperor Tianqi for so long, Wei Zhongxian naturally has some experience, knowing what Tianqi cares about and what can be postponed.

"How is the situation in the brave guard camp?"

Sure enough, before reading the playbook, Emperor Tianqi's slightly lazy voice pointed directly at the things he cared about the most.

"According to your Majesty's will, a group of generals and schools have been selected, all of whom are talented in commanding the army and who know how to fight..."

Regarding Wei Zhongxian's answer, Emperor Tianqi obviously couldn't deny it. He didn't say a word, and picked up the top memorial. List, and resume.

Wei Zhongxian had obviously figured out Emperor Tianqi's mind. He went through the list without sorting it in the slightest, and he didn't deliberately favor anyone. It seemed that everything was impartial.

Looking at this list of generals and schools, Emperor Tianqi's expression was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest thought at all. After a while, he slowly said: "This Li Xiuzhen has heard that it is good, and I ordered him to be a thousand households, and he will be in charge of one. Army!"

As soon as this remark came out, Wei Zhongxian was not surprised at all, he was in charge of the factory guard, and he was naturally aware of the friendship between King Xin and Li Xiu.

With His Majesty's love for King Xin, a mere thousand households is really nothing.

In contrast, Wei Zhongxian will naturally not have the slightest objection, as long as he is not stupid, he will not offend people on such trivial matters.

"For the specific situation, you can just look at the arrangement. I will give you half a year. After half a year, I will visit the Yongwei Camp in person. I hope you can give me a satisfactory result."

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's heart shuddered. He didn't know that the emperor asked him to issue a military order!

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this old slave will never let His Majesty down!"

……

"Without saying a word, you boy made another big move!"
