Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

In troubled times, you should use your code, and in troubled times, you should hold your power!

No one knows better than Zhu Youxiao what the Ming Dynasty is like now. No matter how much power is snatched back, if it is not given to the trusted pillars in time and allows them to shine where they should be, then this will happen The power is of no use at all!

The emperor is also a human being, not a saint.

If he were truly a saint, the emperor would not need civil and military officials to help him govern the world. This would also constitute a hierarchical governance system!

Under the rule of imperial autocratic power, the emperor is the supreme ruler, and below the highest level of governance, there are ruling classes at various levels. If a decision issued from the highest level of governance is broken at any level, then the decision will be lost. It cannot be implemented effectively.

This is also the reason why kings of all dynasties, as long as they are not confused, will choose to firmly hold the imperial power in their own hands!

Even if in order to firmly grasp the imperial power, it will cause ripples in the center or local areas, and even many people will be killed, this principle will not be abandoned.

The capital city was eerily quiet late at night.

The night breeze that comes from time to time makes people feel panicked.

In the streets and alleys that are crowded with people during the day, after being shrouded in darkness, in addition to the sound of wind from time to time, there is only the sound of the night watch after a long interval.

"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"

Two soldiers from the Dongcheng Army and Horse Division wearing leather armor were walking side by side on the dark streets. One of the younger soldiers was holding a lantern in his hand and followed the soldier beside him slightly nervously, squirming up and down. The Adam's apple shows the childishness of this soldier.

"Chen San, why are you so fucking nervous?"

The older soldier who was banging the gong and shouting at the same time couldn't help but sneered when he saw Chen San, who had just joined the Dongcheng Army and Horse Division, and said: "You have so much courage and dare to ask for a guard to watch the night watch. Don't be scared by ghosts." I'm so scared."

"Watching the night watch in the square, I can make five coins to make money every night."

Chen San tried to calm his mind and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Brother Li, you also know that after my father died, there are still a few mouths in the family. If we can make more money, the family will be full."

"Right."

The man named Li Wu shrugged nonchalantly, "I just think you are more pleasing to the eye, unlike those people who were selected from the law enforcement team under the Disaster Relief Office to join our Dongcheng Military and Horse Department. Otherwise, you took the initiative to apply for night patrol I won’t choose you to follow me during the night.”

"Thank you, Brother Li, for your support. From now on, I will..."

Chen San bared his teeth and smiled, but before he finished speaking, he was pushed away by Li Wu, and then, shouts rang out from the silent alleyway.

"Who's in there?!"

"come out!!"

Li Wu held the gong in one hand and put it on his waist with the other, staring into the depths of the alley with his cold eyes.

Since the Nine Gates Admiral's Office was specially set up in Beijing, it controlled all the gates inside and outside the capital in the shortest possible time, and took back all the responsibilities of garrison, patrol and arrest. The order of the capital has quietly changed, especially when night falls. , the curfew implemented in Beijing is more stringent than before.

Hey, yo~

There was a sound of horses hooting, and a person was seen walking out of the depths of the alley. With the faint light of the fire, Li Wu was completely shocked when he saw clearly what the person was wearing.

"Brother Li, do you want to send a signal?"

Chen San, who looked nervous, raised the lantern in his hand tremblingly, trying to see clearly who was walking out of the alley, but then, Li Wu knocked over the lantern.

This made Chen San look even more panicked.

"Jin Yiwei is on an errand, get out!!"

When Chen San was at a loss, the man holding the mount took out a token from his arms, looked at Li Wu and the others coldly and shouted in a deep voice.

Under the weak moonlight, the soldier's military uniform was looming.

"Come on!"

Li Wu didn't care about anything else. He grabbed Chen San who was at a loss and walked towards the alleyway behind him. Although the Jin Yiwei's arrest and inspection powers in Beijing were all taken over by the newly established Jiumen Admiral's Office, they still had the privilege of handling cases, but Compared with before, the procedures are more complicated.

"Brother Li, why are we running?"

Chen San, who was pulled to a place, looked at Li Wu slightly out of breath. Although he was very nervous, he still said in confusion: "Since the establishment of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, all arrest and inspection powers of the Jin Yiwei in Beijing have been removed. Damn it, they..."

"Are you stupid?!"

Li Wu glared and said: "The arrest and inspection powers of the Jin Yiwei in Beijing have all been abolished, but they still have the privilege of handling cases under their jurisdiction. Didn't you read the notice posted by the Dongcheng Military and Horse Department? The procedures for the Jin Yiwei are more cumbersome than before. , but at this time, the Jinyiwei Banner School is dispatched, do you think they dare to handle the case against the order? There must be a big case to be handled! "

As he said that, Li Wu, who was hiding somewhere, poked his head out nervously and cautiously.

Vaguely, Li Wu saw countless people pouring out from the depths of the alley, and among the crowd were carriages covered with black cloth.

Creak~

The sound of ruts pressing against the ground was endless.

Li Wu, who had served in the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department for a long time, immediately knew that these carriages were pulling very heavy things, which made Li Wu immediately twist around.

"You are a thief, this is another house raid." Li Wu said slightly nervously.

"Searching the house?"

Chen San was surprised and wanted to stick his head out to see, but was roughly pulled back by Li Wu.

"You are looking for death!"

Li Wu glared and said, "Don't look at things you know you shouldn't look at? I'm telling you, if you want to live longer in the Dongcheng Army and Horses Division, just keep it in your fucking mind."

"Then I'll have to patrol the night..."

Chen San said nervously.

"Wait until they leave before going."

Li Wu said angrily: "When I go back to Dian Mao, don't report anything except this matter. Just report everything else that needs to be reported."

"That……"

Chen San was a little worried.

"That, that, that, you want to die and get dragged into me!"

Li Wu scolded in a low voice: "You dare to go out to handle the case at this time. Do you think Jin Yiwei dares to act without authorization?"

Now Chen San thought of something.

It’s just that Li Wu, who has a lot of experience, was blinded this time. The team he encountered was indeed patrolling at the front of the Jinyiwei Banner School, but this team had more than just the Jinyiwei Banner School. , as well as the Xunwei, the eunuchs of the Nei Shutang, the Royal Imperial Guards and other groups.

The person responsible for leading this team is Zhang Shize, the legitimate son of the British prince! !

Among this team, Zhang Shize, who was wearing armor and carrying a sword, rode forward slowly on horseback. After traveling for a while, he vaguely saw the Chaoyang Gate Tower!

On the tower of Chaoyang Gate, countless warriors on duty were stationed everywhere. They all looked around vigilantly. However, because the team led by Zhang Shize slowly moved forward from the darkness and made some noise, this made the guards Some of the warriors at the city gate immediately became alert.

Under such a situation, a man slowly rode out of the team. He was wearing the specially selected armor of the Royal Guards Palace, holding a token high and walked towards the city gate.

"Leave the city as ordered!!"

A low voice sounded here, and the team led by Zhang Shize slowly stopped. At this moment, the eunuch of the inner study hall who was following Zhang Shize took out a kit from his arms, opened it, took out the note inside, and borrowed Under the weak firelight, I could see clearly what was written on it, and immediately stuffed the note into my mouth, chewed it and swallowed it!

Under Zhang Shize's gaze, the eunuch leaned forward and whispered to Zhang Shize: "Young Master, I am leaving Beijing to go to Denglai in a hurry. I need to stay in bed day and night, and I must not disturb any places along the way. "When I leave Beijing, I need to change my career."

"understood."

Zhang Shize nodded.

Although there were many doubts in Zhang Shize's heart, at this moment he had no other choice but to do as he was told. Although Zhang Shize wanted to accompany him on the border patrol, Zhang Shize, who served in Xunwei, also knew that in such a tense situation, the emperor called He led his team to leave the capital with an order, escorting 200 million taels of money out of the capital. He also sent many groups to escort him. He didn't know where he was going until he arrived at Chaoyang Gate. Zhang Shize knew that things were not simple.

Denlay?

Zhang Shize, who was riding on the horse, frowned slightly, but he had some doubts in his heart. Why did the emperor allocate so much internal money to Denglai?

In fact, at this moment, there were many people like Zhang Shize. They were located in various areas inside and outside the capital. They were escorting internal money, but the quantities were different and they were going to different places. And among them, No one knew that at this moment, there would be other teams that were ordered to leave the capital like them...
