Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters young and cunning
The crowds are like tides and the traffic is full of traffic; rows are lined up, and flowers are blooming.
The air is filled with the bustling smell of the capital, the smell of rouge and water powder on women, the aroma of wine and tea houses in the wine shops and tea houses ferment in the air, creating this prosperous era.
Although it was not the first time I came to the capital, I was still shocked by the prosperity of the capital. Zhu Ping'an entered the city gate and felt a sense of pride when he looked at the prosperous capital. This is the largest and most prosperous city in the world, no one. Any European city in this era is too rural compared to it; as for the cities of America, America, which is still under the rule of Indians, is even more backward and has no comparison.
Zhu Ping'an led his horse into the capital, sank into the crowd, followed the streets where the bargaining sounds were endless, and found a restaurant and walked straight in.
Don’t rush to go to the Ministry of Justice to confess your feelings. Let’s wait until you fill your stomach and settle down.
When he arrived in the capital, Zhu Ping'an was considering a question: Should he go to have a meal first or to go to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion first.
In addition, this time, Zhu Ping'an was not going to stay in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion again. During the last imperial examination, he stayed in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion for a short time. This time he worked in the capital. I don’t know how long it will take to eat, drink and live in the Housing Mansion. On the other hand, the Housing Marquis went to the coast to work. Now, except for Fatty Zhou, the Housing Mansion, all the female relatives of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion are women, and it feels a bit inappropriate for him to stay in the Housing Mansion.
However, I still have to go there first. After all, I am now the son-in-law of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. When I come to the capital, I always have to go to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion to ask for good things. Of course, I will fill my stomach first before going.
This is a small wine shop, but the business is very good. Several waiters were shuttled between the tables and chairs with wine and food. Diners were drinking and laughing in the wine shop from time to time. Zhu Ping'an found an empty seat to sit down. When the waiter came to entertain him, he ordered a portion of glutinous rice, a portion of braised rice, and a bowl of mixed liver soup, and started eating in big mouthfuls.
This small shop at the foot of the Emperor of Imperial City is also full of atmosphere and has a lot of dishes. It is exquisite in both the plate and the craftsmanship, and the taste is also very delicious.
After eating a full meal, he swept the last bite of soup into his stomach. Zhu Ping'an checked out of the shop and led the horse toward the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
When Zhu Ping'an was on the way to Linhuai Hou Mansion, the news that Zhu Ping'an had arrived in the capital had been handed over by the Jinyiwei to the desk of the Jinyiwei commander Lu Bing. It was probably when Zhu Ping'an was at the gate of the city, the news had already spread.
What is the Jinyiwei?
This is the Jinyiwei! The most professional spy in this era, as long as they don’t want to check it, there is nothing they can’t find.
The people of the Ming Dynasty were despised when they heard the Jinyiwei. In fact, it should be that the officials of the Ming Dynasty had changed their colors properly. The Jinyiwei supervised the Ming officials and reconnaissance was the top priority of their work. The initial reason for the establishment of the Jinyiwei was the need for the struggle between imperial power and civil officials. Knowing the enemy and his own will never be defeated. The Jinyiwei was the emperor's eyes and ears, and it was also a tool for the emperor to maintain imperial power.
Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang, the inventor, was conquering the world. After becoming the emperor, he lacked a sense of security, fearing that his ministers would rebel, so he did not let go of his every move. Not only did he monitor his ministers' words and deeds at work, but he had to master every move after returning home from get off work.
During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, civil servant Qian Zai was ordered to compile the "Mencius Festival Book". It was common for work to work hard. Once, when I returned home from court, I felt sore and exhausted all over. When I was in the scene, I wrote a poem in the study: The four drums were dongdong and the clothes were raised, and it was still too late to meet at the Meridian gate. When will I have the fun of the pastoral garden and sleep until the meal is ready?
The next day, Qian Zai was announced by Zhu Yuanzhang. Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Qian Zai with a smile and said, "I heard that my dear wrote a good poem last night, but I didn't think it was too late to go to court. Is it better to use 'worry'?"
"I know the crime, but the emperor is wise. The word "worry" is much worse than "slow". Qian Zai was scared and sweated coldly on the spot. Fortunately, he didn't talk nonsense last night, otherwise there would be more misfortunes today.
"Actually, I am much happier than me. I have worked much harder than me." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and shook his head, and then improvised a poem, "I got up before I got up, but I have already slept. I have not slept. Why is the rich man in Jiangnan who is still wearing a quilt with three feet high?"
From this we can see that the Jinyiwei has monitored all civil and military officials, and he has not even let go of the private matters of returning home, let alone the on-the-face.
Because the Jinyiwei's supervision of civil and military officials in the world was so omnipresent, it was no surprise that the news of Zhu Ping'an's entry into the capital was spread to Lu Bing so quickly.
Lu Bing took the paper loading the message in his hand, and after reading it, he put the paper back on the table, and then took another letter. There was a word "Li" at the signature of the letter, and the other two words were blocked by Lu Bing's hand and could not be seen.
Lu Bing looked at the letter twice, smiled slightly, and then threw the letter into the stove beside him to burn it all.
"Sir, have you passed the news that Zhu Zihou arrived in the capital to Ge Lao Yan?" An Jinyiwei stood by Lu Bingxia's head and asked respectfully.
Lu Bing smiled and looked at his Jinyiwei, then waved his hand and said indifferently, "There have been two days since the presidency of the fasting and worship service. I have not been able to close my eyes for two days. I finally got the grace of the emperor to go back to rest this morning. Don't spare Mr. Yan's dream of Yan's beauty with such a small matter today."
"Sir, I'm almost in trouble."
The Jinyiwei immediately apologized and felt enlightened. Yes, what is more important than Lord Yan's rest? Lord Yan is old and has been busy with fasting and worship for two days without closing his eyes. If he disturbs Lord Yan's rest, he will not be able to bear it.
As for Zhu Ping'an's memorial, it has been so long, and I am not in a hurry. Moreover, how can this matter be compared with Lord Yan's body?
"It's okay, you young people can't calm down. You must think twice before doing everything in the future, which will be of great benefit to your future growth." Lu Bing's eyes fell on the Jinyiwei for two seconds, and waved his hand.
"Thank you for your teachings, lord." The Jinyiwei knelt down and thanked.
"Okay, I'll be very busy in the future. If I want to take a firm position, I have to rely on you." Lu Bing waved his hand and signaled the Jinyiwei to leave.
After the Jinyiwei left, Lu Bing took another book and started reading it. If Zhu Ping'an was here, he would be surprised by the page that Lu Bing read. This page was exactly the article "The Thick Black Learning" written by Zhu Ping'an to Zhang Siwei and the others before leaving Beijing.
"What a weird talent. I can see things so clearly, but why did I submit such a memorial in a confused way? I am still young and prone to impulsiveness." After reading it, Lu Bing shook his head slightly and commented. (~^~)
