Chapter 263 262 Oolong
Wei Guangde followed the captain into the carriage, Li San and Zhao Hu were ordered to go home and not to go out.

Regarding this, Wei Guangde just shook his head at them, implying that they should not take any action.

Getting on the carriage was like entering a closed space, Wei Guangde already felt a little weak in his hands and feet.

He couldn't figure out what he did wrong, and after repeated deliberations in his heart, the only thing that could be exposed, that might make Emperor Jiajing angry, might be the matter of getting Geng An to contact Liang Gaofu.

Perhaps, Geng An was never able to leave the capital at all, and was intercepted by Jin Yiwei's men on the way?

After Wei Guangde thought he was captured by Jin Yiwei, he naturally had to reflect, criticize and self-criticize, thinking about how to minimize the guilt by then.

Wei Guangde wasn't sure if these things he did counted as deceiving the emperor, he didn't think so, probably he didn't let Geng An make up nonsense.

People, after being arrested, often have such a mentality, reflecting on what problems existed in the past.

At this moment, Wei Guangde, who has been a man for two generations, has never been captured by the violent department, so he inevitably began to look for his possible illegal activities.

Although he also knew that the Great Ming Dynasty he was in now, in fact, the "Law of the Great Ming Dynasty" was like that, and everything was in the mind of Emperor Jiajing.

The curtain of the carriage was lowered, so Wei Guangde could not see the outside, but he could roughly tell whether the carriage was going straight or turning.

According to the location where he got into the car, the carriage should have been going north along Nanxunfang Avenue, and then turned two turns. Wei Guangde felt that his location should be near Andingmen Street at this time, and the front left is probably the Bell and Drum Tower. s position.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde suddenly felt ashamed, he was being sent to Beizhen Fusi.

Not far from Bei'an Gate of the Forbidden City is the Bell and Drum Tower, and there is a Mao'er Alley between them, where the legendary Longtan and Tiger's Den - Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi is located.

Wei Guangde was in awe of Jin Yiwei, so he naturally asked about Jin Yiwei's location.

There are three Jinyiwei government offices in the capital, namely Commander Si Yamen, located in the area closest to the city wall outside Fengtianmen, where there are many government offices, and it is located at the outermost edge of the government office.

The remaining two are the South and North Town Fusi. The South Town Fusi is located at Dengshikou, and it is an internal supervision department. Its functions are similar to those of the East Factory. The North Town Fusi is where he will go soon.

The imperial prison, Beizhen Fusi is the imperial prison.

The carriage drove into Mao'er Alley and stopped outside Fusi Gate of Beizhen.

Wei Guangde pretended to be calm and got out of the carriage, straightened his official robes, barely maintained his image, and followed the captain into the gate of Beizhen Fusi.

When you get here, don't even think about turning your head and running away, as long as you come, you will be safe.

At this time, Wei Guangde had already made up his mind to die, and looked at the Jinyi captains on both sides with contemptuous eyes, but what he was thinking in his heart was if the punishment was to be imposed, should he be recruited or recruited?

Forget it, let's be honest.

A man was born between heaven and earth, so he should have integrity, and admit his mistakes, there is no need to suffer from flesh and blood.

Not long after, the captain took Wei Guangde through the hall and went directly to the second hall, which scared Wei Guangde into thinking that he was going to be imprisoned directly, even skipping the court, how convincing the evidence is.

With trembling legs, he followed the man to the second hall, where he turned slightly and walked a few steps, stopping in a side room next to him.

The lieutenant turned around, showing a sinister smile in Wei Guangde's eyes, and said to him: "Master Wei, please come inside, the governor is waiting for you inside."

After speaking, the captain stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Glancing at the room, Wei Guangde wondered if Lu Bing was waiting for him when he heard the captain say that the governor was inside, but he still didn't understand how big a crime he had committed, and Jin Yiwei should be responsible for it. Son in-person trial.

Did the ancients also know about time travel?
But without time to think, Wei Guangde walked directly into the room. Although his legs were still trembling, he could not lose his integrity as a civil servant, and he was still majestic.

"sit."

Surprisingly, when Wei Guangde entered the room, what greeted him was not a tiger stool and pepper water, but an adult in a python suit directly asked Wei Guangde to sit aside.

Of course, if there really was pepper water in the room, perhaps Wei Guangde would not only not be afraid, but would even cheer.

When he came to the Ming Dynasty, Wei Guangde had never eaten chili, and he didn’t know when chili entered China. Anyway, Wei Guangde, who was originally from Bashu, felt extremely uncomfortable.

There was no question as expected, the commander of Jin Yiwei sitting behind the desk, and the left governor of the military governor's mansion, Lu Bing, asked Wei Guangde something casually, as if it was just a chat.

Wei Guangde answered cautiously, when he got here, he didn't know when he wanted to see him, and the swordsman outside the door rushed into the house.

When Wei Guangde entered the yard, Lu Bing never left Wei Guangde's eyes, and kept watching his every move.

After he entered the room, he observed him even more closely.

Wei Guangde's appearance can only be considered average, his facial features are correct, and his appearance is dignified. He looks like an official, but he is a little tender and not powerful enough.

Just after entering the room, Lu Bing noticed that Wei Guangde's appearance was still a bit different from ordinary people, that is, the boy's appearance seemed to bring together many advantages of being an official.

The auxiliary rhinoceros on the forehead near the brow bone and extending to the hairline is still obvious, slightly raised, the nose is also very plump, the eyebrows are thick and thick, and the eyes are very energetic.

Lu Bing is not proficient in face-to-face, but he also practiced some Taoist things with Emperor Jiajing before, including face-to-face.

He had seen Wei Guangde from afar before, but he didn't look carefully.

Emperor Jiajing first promoted Wei Guangde to be a member of the Jinke Biography, and as a confidant of Emperor Jiajing, he and several eunuchs close to him knew that it was a reward for Wei Guangde's military exploits.

So at the beginning, he didn't pay much attention to Wei Guangde, and thought that his official position was humble, and he didn't arrange anyone to approach Wei Guangde to monitor him nearby.

After the first battle in Baoanzhou, Lu Bing began to pay attention to it, but soon he found that most of Wei Guangde's family members came from Jiujiang Prefecture, and it was a bit impenetrable.

After observing closely now, relying on half-baked physiognomy, Lu Bing has a little guess about Emperor Jiajing's favor for Wei Guangde.

Lu Bing knew that he was half-baked, but Emperor Jiajing's methods in this area were far superior to his, not to mention that the emperor had many experts in this area around him.

And Wei Guangde, who was sitting on the chair, was getting more and more inexplicable when asked by Lu Bing. They were all unreliable questions, as if he knew him very well.

Although Wei Guangde's tense mood gradually eased after some conversation, the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger.

During the interval between Lu Bing's questioning, Wei Guangde finally asked out the doubts in his heart, of course he would not ask directly.

"May I ask Dudu Lu, Jin Yiwei took me to Beizhen Fusi today, is there a driving sticker from the palace, approved by the Sixth Division?"

In fact, when the Ming Dynasty was established, everything had rules and regulations. Even in the initial stage, after various problems occurred, the court would quickly adjust the regulations according to the actual situation.

Although Jinyiwei was created by Zhu Yuanzhang, it was also restricted by Zhu Yuanzhang. It is not as lawless and reckless as later film and television works.

Let’s talk about Jinyiwei’s privilege of “inspecting and arresting”, because Jinyiwei was restructured from the Gongwei Division, so the original duty has been retained, that is, directly driving the guards, the emperor’s personal person.

Naturally, when the emperor wanted to issue orders, the most direct way to use armed force was to let Jin Yiwei take action.

As for driving stickers, the earliest clear records were in the Yongle Dynasty.

"Wuzi in May of the tenth year of Yongle, 120 people, including Juren and Jiansheng Liang Hong, learned to translate Yi characters.

It is said that in the 15th year of Yongle, the officials of the Ministry of Rites selected Liang Hong and more than 120 people as translators based on the "driving post" as evidence. This naturally deprived these people of the opportunity to further their careers, so Liang Hong was very dissatisfied Rejecting this call, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had no choice but to tell the emperor Zhu Di, who exiled Liang Hong to Jiaozhi to guard the border in a rage.

From this record, we can see that the "drive post" was supposed to be used as a proof of the emperor's order at that time, and it was similar to an imperial decree.

And in the record of "Set Dengwen Drum Outside the Meridian Gate" in "Huangming Tongji Fa Zhuan Lu" written by Chen Jian: "The Dengwen Drum is set outside the Meridian Gate. The history is supervised by one person. If there is a grievance, secrets and affection, Xu beats the drum. The censor immediately leads the music.

It is not allowed if there is no such and more appeals.Later, it was moved outside the gate of Chang'an, and the six divisions were ordered to give each a member of the Shizhong and Jinyi guards, who took turns to beat the drums, and received the certificates to advance.As soon as the decree came out, the direct school lieutenant was sent to lead the driving post, prepare the decree for approval, and escort the plaintiff to the yamen for questioning.

There are soldiers and civilians who intimidate the recipients, and listen to Jin Yiwei's direct drum officer to send them to investigate.Those who instigate and instigate are punished.It is not possible to file a case for what has been played. "

Because there is no clear time for this record, it can only be said that there may have been driving stickers in use during the Hongwu period.

But what is certain is that Jinyiwei Naren needs to hold a driving sticker, which means that it must be approved by the emperor before it can be implemented.

Lu Bing asked him many questions, and Wei Guangde felt very boring, but when he arrived at Jinyiwei, since he didn't ask him what crime he had committed, he naturally had to find out what was going on, and he couldn't make a trip in vain.

"Driving stickers, what kind of stickers are you asking?"

When Lu Bing heard Wei Guangde ask about the driving stickers, he said something indifferent at first, but then he seemed to understand what?
Lu Bing blinked at this moment, the old man's arrogance that he was carrying before dissipated, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Did they arrest you?"

"Ok?"

Wei Guangde was puzzled and didn't know how to answer.

"Hehe, I asked them to invite someone, so I invited you here, haha."

Lu Bing smiled cheerfully at this moment, "No wonder your legs were still trembling when you entered the door, so that's the reason."

"Didn't you Jinyiwei take people and send someone to 'invite' with a driver's sticker?"

After listening to Lu Bing's previous words, Wei Guangde understood a little bit, Nima, it seems that he has an oolong.

If I had known this before, I would have asked that person for a driving sticker in the alley, and everything would have been understood.

"It seems that you also have something shameful, otherwise you wouldn't be scared and your legs would tremble."

But what Lu Bing said next made Wei Guangde startled again, "Should I recruit or not?"

A seemingly unintentional sentence, but said by Lu Bing, who has been in charge of Jinyi guards for decades, has a strong deterrent effect, at least Wei Guangde can't stand it.

Fortunately, when Wei Guangde saw that Lu Bing’s smile did not change, he knew it was just a joke, but he was even more curious in his heart. Governor Lu was making a fuss. Your surname is not Wei, nor is the labor and management’s surname Lu, and neither is my wife. Surnamed Xu.

Before coming in, Wei Guangde guessed whether his hookup with Xu Bangrui had been revealed, but he didn't know what taboo there was.

But at this time, Wei Guangde naturally didn't know how to recruit anything, and said helplessly, "I'm still wondering what the Jin Yiwei will do with me, but I don't know what advice the governor Lu Da has to give me when he sees me?"

"It's nothing, I just want to meet you. After all, it was entrusted by an old friend. You have been in the capital for almost a year, and I have never met you alone, and you have never come to me to give gifts."

Lu Bing replied casually.

"Old man? Who?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously, he heard that someone had entrusted Lu Bing to take care of him, but he didn't know which friend knew Lu Bing, so naturally he didn't know about such a thing.

In fact, even if he knew, he would try to avoid it as much as possible. Jinyiwei is not a good yamen.

"You are very courageous. You were just a juren back then, so you should have shot him."

Lu Bing still smiled and did not change his course.

Hearing this, Wei Guangde immediately thought of a person, that is Yu Dayou who he met after the Japanese pirates were wiped out, as if he heard his father mention that Yu Dayou had friends in the capital who would take care of him.

"Is it Yu Dayou, Lord Yu?"

Wei Guangde was not sure, his father didn't say that he knew Lu Bing, if he couldn't tell from Lu Bing's mouth, Wei Guangde wouldn't believe it if he killed him.

Seeing Wei Guangde's disbelieving expression, Lu Bing smiled, "I met him more than ten years ago. At that time, he volunteered to go to Datong, Shanxi to fight against the Tartars. I went to Shanxi on business, and we met by accident."

"Oh."

Although Wei Guangde didn't know the truth of what he heard, he probably wouldn't make it up because it wasn't necessary.

I didn't expect that big black man to have a friend like Lu Bing, that's not the rhythm of wanting to be successful, no wonder my uncle seemed to envy him very much at the beginning.

Yu Dayou is really a talent, a wonderful guard, capable of both literature and martial arts.

"Hehe, so that's the case. Uncle Yu didn't tell me about this before, he just said that there are friends in Beijing who will take care of him, hehe"

Although Wei Guangde only met Yu Dayou once, he still chose to climb up the ladder at this moment.

Yu Dayou actually wanted to win Wu Zhankui and Wei Meng to help him fight in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Wei Guangde still knew about it, but his father and the others did not agree.

But it is really interesting, you have to remember, and you will find a chance to pay back in the future.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde still asked curiously: "Then why did Uncle Lu call me here this time? It can't be because my nephew didn't come to see me."

"Tell me about your family arranging your marriage. When did you make the marriage?"

Lu Bing didn't have anything difficult to ask. He asked the person concerned first, and the people below would also send news from Nanjing, and the authenticity could be confirmed by the two-phase photo.

Although Wei Guangde was surprised, he still told what he knew.
