Chapter 5, with fame and fortune in hand, one is certainly willing to face any peril without hesitation
After finishing the imperial edict, Luo Sigong淡淡 said, "Arrest them."
He put on the hand crossbow and covered it with his long sleeves, then Li Yunze called Wei Zhongxian to come in
Sitting in a chair and sipping tea, Li Yunze softly sighed as he recalled the events of the previous night
This is the legacy left by generations of commanders of the Jinyiwei.
The Imperial Guards swiftly made their decision and all stood on the side of Luo Sigong
Li Yunze, who has been hungry for a long time, raised his hand and called out, "Come here, I will check your homework."
After drinking a cup of tea, Luo Sigong once again unfolded the imperial edict: "Wei Niwu is tyrannical... Xu Xianchun, Cui Chengxiu, Yang Huan, Sun Yunhe... all are to be imprisoned in the imperial jail."
After all, the title of Lord Cao from the Eastern Depot is indeed quite illustrious
Three beautiful young women dressed in palace attire entered in succession and paid their respects
The Emperor of the Apocalypse enjoyed carpentry, so Wei Zhongxian catered to his interests by specifically presenting related items.
The Luo family can be regarded as a century-old lineage within the Jinyiwei, with a very deep-rooted foundation
Li Yunze saw ambition in Luo Yangxing's eyes, desiring to reclaim the position of the Chief Commander of the Jinyiwei, which had been passed down in his family. Serving the emperor now presents the best opportunity.
Wei Zhongxian
In his view, the interactions between the Jinyiwei and the Emperor have gone back and forth several rounds of deliberation.
The young man Mu Ai, sending a beauty first is certainly not a mistake
Li Yunze is currently preparing to go to the modern world for a late-night snack. Before departing, he learns that Wei Zhongxian wishes to meet him tonight
Tian Ergeng, whose expression changed dramatically, could not accept it, saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! You are falsely proclaiming the imperial edict, seize him!"
"Tell Tian Ergeng to keep a close watch on the Luo family," Wei Zhongxian said, looking at the three beauties he had carefully selected, nodding in satisfaction. "Come with me to meet the Emperor."
Li Yunze resolved the issue with Wei Zhongxian, successfully consolidating the Jinyiwei, the Imperial Horse Monitoring Bureau, and the Eastern Factory without any problems, as all of these were directly subordinate to the emperor's household servants
Luo Sigong! As Tian Ergeng was contemplating what gift to present to the Nine Thousand Years, he saw Luo Sigong burst in with a large group of people and slammed the table forcefully, exclaiming, "Are you trying to rebel against https://mhetushu.com?"
Indeed. Wei Zhongxian responded while contemplating that the Emperor did not seem to be fond of beauty. It appears that he would need to find another approach next time
In the modern world, it is possible to find obedient young women, but the prerequisite is that one must have sufficient financial resources
Li Yunze revealed an angry smile, "The affairs of the Ming Dynasty are numerous and complex; how could I have the time to indulge in beauty..."
The numerous followers of the Nine Thousand Years are not to be mentioned from outside; although there are quite a few eunuchs in the court, Li Yunze fundamentally looks down upon these scholars
After Luo Yangxing left, Li Yunze took out a decree and handed it to Wang Cheng'en. "When the people waiting for Luo Yangxing arrive, take this and lead a group of Imperial Guards to the Imperial Horse Depot to assume the position of Chief Eunuch. Take command of the Brave Camp. Any who dare to resist will be dealt with on the spot"
Among the tens of thousands claimed, the number that can truly be mobilized is estimated to be only a few thousand at most
Oh———.
Now that the emperor has placed both fame and fortune before us, what is there left to hesitate about
The reason for being willing to believe in Luo Yangxing and his son is that from the information available in the modern world, it is known that these two are not part of Wei Zhongxian's faction
Li Yunze, who urgently needed to supplement his protein, was not in a hurry to meet Luo Yangxing, allowing him to continue waiting outside
Lifting the flying fish robe, he turned and sat down in the main seat, "Send him to the imperial prison!"
After finishing the meal, he then summoned Luo Yangxing to the study for an audience.
The combination of makeup techniques and photography skills truly creates a beauty that is as stunning as a celestial being
In the era without mobile phones, Wei Zhongxian was completely unaware of the earth-shattering changes occurring outside the Forbidden City
The next morning, a brief morning meeting was originally scheduled to take place
It is absolutely the first time that three such beautiful and completely natural young women have appeared before me
Lifting the teacup and scraping the tea leaves with a bowl lid, Li Yunze inquired, "Is it reliable? Are you willing to risk your life for this task?"
When the eel is hungry, it will eventually have abalone, and now there is no need to go out for late-night snacks
Wei Zhongxian rose to power too quickly, resembling the type of a nouveau riche
When he raised the imperial edict to summon his former subordinates and charged into the Northern Town Pacification Office, the underlying disparity immediately became apparent
Li Yunze has encountered many beautiful girls, and the screen displays a variety of attractive young women.
When the sun was high in the sky, Li Yunze, feeling empty in body, finally got up with a yawn to have his meal
At present, Wei Zhongxian truly does not understand Li Yunze's preferences, so he plans to start with the simplest aspects
Absolutely reliable, they are all seasoned veterans passed down through generations in the Jinyiwei. Moreover, serving the Emperor, they would certainly not hesitate to die a thousand deaths!
Luo Yangxing respectfully saluted, "The Luo family has been loyal to the Ming dynasty for generations, and our unwavering loyalty is evident to the heavens. For the sake of the eternal reign, our entire Luo family is willing to face fire and water without hesitation."
Emperor Tianqi valued his wet nurse, Ke Shi, and Wei Zhongxian shamelessly sacrificed his appearance to actively seek out Ke Shi for a meal together
Li Yunze smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good, what does your father say about it?"
I am to be a wise ruler, the one who saves the Ming Dynasty. I cannot indulge in pleasure.
At this moment, it is time to discuss the benefits. "Once the matter is accomplished, I will appoint you as the Deputy Commander of the Jinyiwei. After your father stabilizes the situation and retires honorably, you will take over the position of Commander."
During the meal, Wang Cheng'en, who was serving nearby, quietly reported, "Luo Yangxing has been waiting for quite some time."
Wei Zhongxian exerted a strong control over the imperial palace, and the matter of Li Yunze summoning Luo Yangxing quickly reported to him
If the Apocalypse Emperor were still alive, Wei Zhongxian would not hesitate to take severe measures against the Luo family
However, by now, it has also fallen into disrepair, just like other establishments in Beijing.
It is not that Li Yunze lacks intelligence; such an important matter should have been communicated directly to Luo Yangxing.
May I serve for ten thousand years!
Wei Zhongxian's old face blossomed into a smile, rubbing his hands as he stepped forward, "Your Majesty has been working tirelessly for our Ming dynasty day and night, so I have specially selected a few maidservants to relieve your fatigue."
Then he heard Li Yunze say, "... in light of your sincere filial piety, this will not be repeated."
Still in a state of idleness, Li Yunze motivated himself and resolved that he must go to eat late-night snacks at the bookstore tonight, and he could no longer engage in educational work
Cough cough
From the name, it is clear that the Imperial Horse Agency is responsible for horse breeding, possessing numerous horse farms in various locations to raise a wide variety of livestock
The Jinyiwei who could follow Luo Yangxing to this place could naturally not be a Qianhu or a town pacifier
Seeing the Jin Yi Wei with red eyes at the sight of silver, Li Yunze smiled and raised his hand to pat the silver ingots. "After the matter is accomplished, all of this will be your reward. In addition, each person will be promoted by two ranks. With both fame and fortune at hand, are you willing to work for me?"
Like other units of the Beijing garrison, this Fourth Guard Battalion also has a distinguished history of military achievements
It was merely thought that Li Yunze was preparing to consolidate the Jinyiwei.
This ton of silver amounts to a total of 26,800 taels
Although Wei Zhongxian was a eunuch, he worked very hard for his career
He does not wish to spend one or two years completely eliminating the Wei Zhongxian faction; by that time, Huang Taiji would have already breached the pass
Wei Daban, is there something you need at this late hour
Outside the Forbidden City, Luo Sigong, holding the imperial edict, has already begun his actions
This is for the Jinyiwei. Your father, Luo Sigong, has been reinstated as the Commander of the Jinyiwei, tasked with leading the Jinyiwei to capture the followers of Wei Zhongxian throughout the city, starting with eliminating Tian Ergeng to take over the Jinyiwei. As for you, bring your men and quietly enter the palace to lie in ambush beside me, preparing to take action.
Moreover, the current situation is quite clear; Wei Zhongxian, having lost the support of the emperor, is like a grasshopper in autumn, unable to jump for many more days
Therefore, it is imperative to act swiftly and resolve the power struggle involving Wei Zhongxian as soon as possible
With fair skin and beautiful features, her bright eyes and white teeth, every frown and smile captivates the heart
Wei Zhongxian was completely indifferent to this; it was, after all, a matter of course
If there is none, then it is the central intention, which reflects the will of the emperor himself
"Yes, I understand," Wei Zhongxian waved his hand towards the door and said, "Come in all of you."
The imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty must bear the seal of the cabinet to be considered the true decree that is valid throughout the realm
With a blank expression, Luo Sigong unfolded the imperial edict: "There is an imperial decree! Long live the decree, the position of the Chief Commander of the Jinyiwei is hereby revoked, and the individual is to be immediately imprisoned in the imperial prison for investigation. The position of Chief Commander of the Jinyiwei shall be assumed by Luo Sigong."
Li Yunze, who has taken on the educational responsibilities of several beautiful young women, clearly lacks the energy and spirit to attend court.
The Luo family holds significant power within the Jinyiwei, far surpassing someone like Tian Ergeng, who is merely a latecomer in this field
Wang Cheng'en led a team of Imperial Guards to the Imperial Horse Monitoring Office to consolidate military power
Yet even if it is neglected, it still represents an army of twenty to thirty thousand on paper. If it were to be incited by Wei Zhongxian, it would undoubtedly lead to a military disaster
He believed that having found the key to controlling Li Yunze, everything that followed would be simple
Emperors can also be bought, which means catering to their preferences
Luo Yangxing stepped in quickly, and after bowing, expressed his sincere feelings directly, "Your Majesty, I have selected a group of colleagues from the Jinyiwei who are willing to die for Your Majesty."
Luo Yangxing was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth, forcefully knocking his head on the golden brick, "Thank you for your eternal grace!"
Li Yunze took out a decree from the wide sleeves of his robe, stood up, and personally placed it into Luo Yangxing's hands
As for the renowned Eastern Depot, that is reserved for Cao Huachun
Matters entrusted in the name of the Emperor are handled quite swiftly
The remaining Jinyiwei lay in ambush with the new sharp steel knives bestowed upon them by Li Yunze, waiting for Wei Zhongxian's arrival
Luo Sigong strode forward, seized Tian Ergeng by the shoulders, and directly threw him to the ground.
After Luo Yangxing handed over the imperial edict to his father, he quickly returned to the Forbidden City with a carefully selected group of Jinyiwei.
This statement is very straightforward, and he understood it immediately.
The voice is loud and full of vigor
A blow from the scabbard struck down, and Tian Er-geng, who was desperately struggling and howling, immediately fell silent, being swiftly dragged away like a dead dog to the imperial prison
"The servant takes her leave." Wei Zhongxian, with keen perception, exited the inner chamber and conveniently closed the door behind him
The true threat lies with the Imperial Horse Monitoring Agency
Fortunately, like the Jinyiwei, the soldiers of the Imperial Horse Monitoring Bureau are directly under the Emperor, and a single imperial decree can generally resolve matters.
More importantly, all three beautiful girls and the *illustrations* appear to be perfectly obedient, as if they are saying that they will do everything you ask.
Moreover, unlike those monotonous figures on the screen, the three young women each have their own strengths, like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums
Wei Zhongxian, who was very satisfied with this, went on to preside over the affairs of the court with great pride
Li Yunze, hailing from the modern world, sees clearly that everything spoken is illusory; only fame and fortune are tangible.
As long as the Luo family father and son are not lacking in judgment, they will certainly stand on the side of the emperor who has granted them immense benefits
But for now, just pay more attention; the main focus should still be on winning over the new emperor
It is often said that one should not strike a smiling face; however, in this case, Li Yunze is not merely striking, but is preparing to make use of Wei Zhongxian's head.
He received a summons from the emperor and was hurrying to the imperial study.
At this moment, all the Jinyiwei understood that the Emperor was taking action against the Nine Thousand Years!
Of course, the Jinyiwei also believe that Luo Sigong is not insane; falsely proclaiming an imperial edict could lead to the death of one's entire family, or even the annihilation of nine generations, who would all have to sing "Thank You".
Under the command of the Imperial Horse Monitoring Bureau, there are four guards and one battalion, namely the Left and Right Guards of Tengxiang, the Left and Right Guards of Wuxiang, and the Brave Soldiers Battalion
He is not foolish; he understands the saying, "If the ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers are not discreet, they will lose their lives; if matters are not kept confidential, they will lead to harm"
However, he never considered that the seemingly frail emperor was actually prepared to use executioners against him
Li Yunze, who originally planned to go for a late-night snack, felt even hungrier
It must be said that Wei Zhongxian is indeed capable, having quickly identified Li Yunze's weakness
The prestige of the Ming Emperor, which has been inherited for over 200 years, still endures. The Imperial Guards, without any hesitation, mobilized in large numbers, dispatching officers throughout the city to capture the followers of Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian truly possesses filial piety, making me feel somewhat reluctant to eliminate him
Li Yunze entered the room with this group of Jinyiwei, unveiling a large piece of silk, revealing a full ton of 925 silver
They are all those who aspire to rise but are merely the totality of small figures, such as the little flags, who are struggling without opportunities
The numerous Imperial Guards surrounding them all exchanged glances, yet no one made a move
I want to see the Nine Thousand Years! Let me goーーー
