Chapter 354
On the surface, the pro-military captain's mansion was accompanied by imperial envoys for protection, and in secret, there were special people who recorded the conversations and behaviors of the imperial envoys and gentry from various places, including whether they invited people into the house late at night, and whether they suddenly delivered luggage and parcels home during the journey.

The spies all over the place are Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and ears, and the imperial envoys are just another kind of bait. How could the corrupt officials not take a bite and try to drag them into the water?

Of course, it is not impossible for the spies and inspectors of the pro-military captain's mansion to collude with them, not report what they know, and even judge corrupt officials and imperial envoys as good officials. This involves another eternal problem, who will supervise and supervise? Whether the person has committed a crime.

Even the officials of the Ming Dynasty had very low salaries, let alone those spies inspecting the school. Not everyone can resist the lavish money, and the imperial envoys cannot resist the same for those who are close to the army.

This is why Zhu Biao deliberately separated Quanxu's Jinyiwei from the pro-army Duwei's Mansion. The nature and purpose of these two organizations are the same, but the composition of personnel is indeed different. It is not to say that they are not loyal, but these people were originally rough soldiers who had not received any special training since they were young.

The most important thing about secret service agencies is the beliefs and ideas instilled in them since childhood. They can be weaker, but they must guarantee their loyalty. The advantage of the elite in the military is their high combat effectiveness. Most of them are veterans.

Not to mention the procuratorial spies under the pro-military captain's mansion, the mob of the three religions and nine streams are forced to serve by the power and interests of the pro-military captain's mansion. Once the benefits are enough for them to take risks, then their betrayal is It is logical, anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so there is no real money.

After all, the Pro-Army Captain's Mansion also came out of troubled times, and suddenly came to this peaceful and prosperous age, some habitual bad habits have not been changed, just like those founding heroes, always feel that they have worked hard but did not get what they deserve Prosperity and wealth.

And Quan Xu's Jin Yiwei is the orphan Zhu Biao recruited all the way. There is a fundamental difference between the two. The reason why Zhu Biao's East Palace is so poor is because all the resources are invested there.

The brocade guards who have been cultivated dare not say that they can maintain their original aspirations of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism throughout their lives, but at least they can maintain enough beliefs in the ten years before they get married and start a business.

Even if they leave Jinyiwei after getting married, Zhu Biao will assign them to other departments according to their merits in Jinyiwei, and serve as important officials of the court as the emperor's pro-military. After all, their loyalty is higher than that of most civilian officials. .

A department like Jinyiwei must not be a succession of fathers and sons, nor can any old people be allowed to form cliques for personal gain. They must always keep the organization clean and their thinking pure, so Quan Xu never stopped recruiting orphans, just to cultivate batch after batch. Batch of fresh blood…………

Just as Zhu Biao was thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already finished reading the small stack of memorials. Most of today’s tedious court affairs memorials were left in Zhongshu Province. Only memorials related to important military and state affairs would be sent by the little eunuch with trepidation. Go to Jinshen Hall.

Afterwards, the father and son rested on their chairs. The two of them were together on weekdays. They had nothing to communicate with each other. It was not easy to go out for a stroll or ask Zhongshu Sheng to send me a memorial. After all, Lao Zhu passed out only once in the morning.

The bright sunlight shone through the window into the Jinshen Hall, and the dust rose and fell in the light and shadow. Both of them squinted their eyes and fell asleep unconsciously. The surrounding area was quiet, only Liu Jin walked in lightly from time to time. Replace ice cream.

And Chang Luohua was taken back to Kunning Palace by Empress Ma to rest a long time ago, and the palace that was noisy two hours ago has returned to its former calm, perhaps only some concubines are still angrily serving in their palace Get angry with the maids and eunuchs.

The father and son stayed in the Jinshen Hall until the evening, and after the imperial physician came to take another pulse, the matter of the Holy Majesty's fainting passed smoothly. Zhu Yuanzhang went straight to the Kunning Palace to rest on the dragon board, and Zhu Biao took advantage of the situation to retreat East Palace rests.

After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Biao, who had been hungry for a long time, sent Yushan to pull Chang Luohua, who also just returned to the East Palace, to sit down with him: "Tomorrow I will leave Beijing with my father, and I am not sure when I will return. You stay in the palace." Let's take care of the baby with peace of mind, don't think about it."

Chang Luohua nodded and said: "I'm letting the empress guess. Before I returned to the palace, the empress said that the father might be going to Fengyang's hometown because of Yihuihou, but she didn't say that even His Highness would go."

Zhu Biao also didn't explain: "Don't worry about it, I will leave Liu Jin to serve, so that someone will help you handle things in the East Palace. If you are bored, you can go to the queen mother for a walk, or invite your mother-in-law to come into the palace to talk, Both my father and I have gone out, and it's okay for my mother-in-law to stay overnight."

Chang Luohua nodded obediently and then couldn't help reaching out to touch his lower abdomen. Seeing this, Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly softened a lot. It's been four months. I really didn't expect to be a father at my age. Although I don't know the gender yet, But after all, it is his own blood.

At this time, the meals were all set up. After Liu Jin prepared the dishes, Zhu Biao began to eat big mouthfuls. When he was hungry, everything tasted delicious. He only ate a few pieces of snacks this day, and he drank a lot of tea, but it was not enough after all. full.

His body was still in the stage of rapid development, he would feel hungry if he didn't eat a meal, and he digested it very quickly, he only breathed out comfortably after eating a bowl of rice, and then began to chew slowly again.

Chang Luohua ate half a bowl with him with crooked eyebrows, and her appetite was also increasing, but she ate six or seven meals a day, so naturally she wouldn't be too hungry.

Chang Luohua put down the spoon and said: "I just received a letter from my family saying that my father has arranged a marriage for my brother."

Zhu Biao laughed and said, "Chang Mao is not young anymore, it's time to make a decision. Which family does the woman belong to?"

Chang Luohua replied: "Three books and six appointments haven't left yet, but father seems to really like it. He personally wrote to urge mother to send someone to see her. I heard that she is the daughter of Yu Mingyuan, the magistrate of Baoding. This year is the daughter of Jiji. year."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao put down his chopsticks. The princess himself seemed dissatisfied. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yu Mingyuan was born as a Jinshi in the Yuan Dynasty. After all, it is the heir of Kaiping Palace, if you are dissatisfied, I will write to Yue Zhang."

Chang Luohua hurriedly said: "What did you say? How can I manage the affairs of my mother's family when I am married? It's just that I really don't know the foundation of the Yu family. I'm afraid it's because my father was drunk and promised it. marriage."
