People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

No organization is immune to corruption from within.

An organization like Jinyiwei, which has the power of life and death, cannot escape this law.

The original Jinyiwei was born in the 15th year of Hongwu, but only five years later, in the 20th year of Hongwu, Jinyiwei was actually abolished.

If Zhu Di hadn't risen to power because of his rebellion, everyone would have picked him up again and given him more power.

This spy organization may not exist in Ming Dynasty for a long time.

Because of Zhang Yi's butterfly, Jin Yiwei was born more than ten years in advance. After all, this organization has lasted for four years.
If we look at the trajectory of history, these four years have been enough for Jin Yiwei to become corrupted.

In fact, the conflict between Ling Shuo and Zhou Tong also proves this point.

Zhang Yi had vaguely seen the end of Jin Yiwei.

"Go in and talk!"

Zhang Yi took Zhou Tong to his room and made him a pot of tea himself.

Zhou Tong began to pour out his bitterness and talk about the power struggle between Jin Yiwei.

Zhang Yi was thoughtful after hearing this. To put it bluntly, this power struggle revolves around the position of commander of the Jin Yiwei.

Ling said that because of his involvement in the assassination incident, the relatively junior Mao Xiang had the opportunity to compete with him for the position of commander of the Jin Yiwei.

The result was the same later. Mao Xiang finally got the position of commander of Jin Yiwei.

Ling said that this old man was naturally dissatisfied.

The overt and covert fight between the two of them is no longer enough for outsiders to understand.

And Zhou Tong, Mao Xiang's confidant who rose to power thanks to his achievements in the northern war, also became a thorn in Ling Shuo's side.

The current situation is that because Mao Xiang is the commander of the Jinyiwei, he has the right to speak out.

Ling said that as Mao Xiang's former boss and with the foundation of the previous school inspection, he also has a huge support rate among Jinyiwei.

This kind of situation where no one obeys the other can sometimes bring disaster to Zhou Tong.

After Zhou Tong finished speaking, his anger had not subsided:
"I remember this slap. I will definitely settle the score with him later..."

Zhang Yi was noncommittal, smiling but not smiling.

In his opinion, such a Jin Yiwei seemed to be close to death.

Historically, Mao Xiang, as the leader of the Jinyiwei, did not get a good death.

In fact, few of the successive Jinyiwei commanders died a happy death.

Zhou Tong was frightened by Zhang Yi's expression. He was the one who knew the young master best among the Jinyi Guards.

Zhang Yi's expression proved that he had something to say.

"Master, we are no longer outsiders. Please give me an idea!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi poured Zhou Tong a cup of tea and said:

"My advice to you is that you should stay away from me in the future...especially when we chat like this in private!"

Zhou Tong was confused, but he didn't understand what Zhang Yi meant.

“We have a good personal relationship and a life-long relationship, so I’m reminding you!

Pindao's identity is different from before. You used to have close contact with Pindao because you had a mission and being close to Pindao was part of the mission.

Now that Pindao and Your Majesty know each other, your approach to me is a personal emotion!

But what Jin Yiwei is most taboo about is personal emotions causing trouble!

The Jin Yiwei is the sword in His Majesty's hand. The sword cannot have thoughts or tendencies!

Including your personal relationship with anyone other than His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty does not allow it in his heart!
Your Majesty sees it and may not say anything, but if something happens, the tea we drank today will kill you! "

"Master, don't scare me!"

When Zhou Tong heard this, he trembled and couldn't hold the tea in his hand.

After monitoring Zhang Yi for such a long time, Zhou Tong understands that Zhang Yi rarely gives advice to someone, but if you don't listen to his advice, you will suffer.

"The Jin Yiwei is the sword in His Majesty's hand. Where the sword cuts is decided by the person holding the sword!
Only one and a half people in the entire court can master this sword, and that is His Majesty and the Prince!

You are His Majesty's eyes and ears, brothers and sisters...

If you disobey, the harm to His Majesty will be even greater!
So, you think Pindao is scaring you? "

Zhou Tong seemed to understand somewhat after hearing this.

"So, no matter what Ling said, or your commander Mao, what they do is actually dancing on the tip of a knife!

The Jin Yiwei themselves are the enemy of the whole world. Only with His Majesty's support behind you can you have the space to do whatever you want!
But why do you think that His Majesty will let you do whatever you want?

Didn't he give birth to you just to restrict the power of the officials? "

Zhou Tong really understood this time. He quickly stood up and gave Zhang Yi a big gift.

"Master Zhou, go!
Let's have a good time together, and I hope you have a good death! "

The smile on Zhou Tong's face disappeared and he turned around and left.

After he left, Yao Guangxiao came out from the other side.

"when did you come?"

"I originally wanted to ask my teacher something, but I just heard..."

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhang Yi with a somewhat meaningful look.

Zhang Yi is only 13 years old, but he seems to see things more clearly than himself.

Regarding Jin Yiwei's situation, Yao Guangxiao actually had similar thoughts in his mind.

Zhang Yi's words were very in line with his thoughts.

"I heard it when I heard it. I guess you are also told what should I do?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded, and then asked:
"Master, I have a question for you?"

"ask!"

"Master has thought about Jin Yiwei's situation, but he has thought that your own position is actually similar to that of Jin Yiwei..."

Zhang Yi was stunned when he heard this and lowered his head in thought.

Immediately, he raised his head and said:

"What you said makes sense..."

……

a few days later.

Zhang Yi, Wu Baohe, Deng Zhongxiu and others were waiting outside the city.

A motorcade came slowly from a distance.

At the front of the convoy was a carriage.

Lao Zhang poked his head out of the carriage.

"father!"

Zhang Yi waved to Lao Zhang. When he saw his son, a smile appeared on Zhang Zhongping's face, which soon turned into anger.

He snorted coldly.

The carriage slowly stopped and Lao Zhang got out of the carriage.

"Master!"

"father!"

Several disciples and Zhang Yi all greeted Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang ignored Zhang Yi and only nodded to his disciples.

Zhang Yi made a face. He knew that Lao Zhang was angry with him for running away, and...

"Master, are you going to Chaotian Palace to stay, or are you going to Spring and Autumn Temple?"

Deng Zhongxiu suppressed his laughter and asked Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang glanced at him and said nothing.

Zhang Yixin understood and said:
"Go to Spring and Autumn to watch..."

Zhang Changcheng had no objection, and the group looked towards Chunqiu.

Get off the car and enter the Taoist temple.

Zhang looked around normally.

This Taoist temple was built by the emperor for Zhang Yi, so it is naturally not too bad.

Lao Zhang saw a bald Taoist priest walking towards him from a distance.

He saluted respectfully:
"Yao Guangxiao has met his master!"

Zhang Chenggang looked at Zhang Yi, his bald disciple, and was speechless for a long time.

He felt that if he spoke again, he might curse someone.Yao Guangxiao was a good person, but he saw Zhang Chenggang's dissatisfaction. He led Lao Zhang and his group to the reception area and disappeared voluntarily.

"Okay, I even have a disciple!
The next step for Mr. Zhang is to start his own business? "

Lao Zhang took up his father's arrogance and sneered at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was thick-skinned and didn't take him seriously at all.

He smiled:

"His Majesty didn't force me to keep this. How about I pass it on to dad?"

"The poor can't bear it!"

Lao Zhang kept a straight face and refused to show off.

Other lands want to laugh but dare not laugh. Everyone has seen too much of Zhang Yi and Lao Zhang's grudges and is used to it.

Not long after, Li and Meng Yao knew that Lao Zhang was coming and came to pay their respects.

When Zhang Chenggang saw them, he immediately beamed.

He was very good to Meng Yao.

Be polite to Mr. Li too.

"In-laws, Pindao has always said that he would come over to sort out the children's matters, but he never did. It was my negligence..."

Lao Zhang came here this time, naturally, for Zhang Yi's marriage.

The emperor grants marriage, that is the emperor's business.

As Zhang Yi's father and the head coach of Longhu Mountain, he always went to the Xu family and the Li family to go through the motions.

Strictly speaking, Meng Yao should have been Zhang Yi's wife, but because of the emperor's interference, she became a concubine.

After all this happened, Lao Zhang also felt a little sorry for Li and his daughter.

However, the Li family had already prepared for this matter, and when the emperor granted the marriage, he also mentioned Meng Yao!

It was a good compensation for her.

With Meng Yao in the middle to coordinate, Lao Zhang got off the slope and his expression gradually softened.

Zhang Yi knew that he wanted to save face, so he deliberately softened his words, and Zhang Changsheng was no longer angry.

When he came to the capital, he naturally went to the Xu Mansion to arrange the marriage. The other thing was to meet the emperor!

But it was already afternoon, and he asked someone to deliver a message to the palace to see if the emperor had seen him?
After doing this, the father and son finally had a chance to be alone.

Zhang Yi followed the instructions and told everything that happened in these days, except for the Chang Mao incident.

Lao Zhang was frightened when he heard this. This kid is getting bigger and bigger as he plays.

Involved in a war related to the fate of the country, and dominated the direction of the war.

He looked at Zhang Yi again with mixed feelings.

After all, the child's brilliance could not be concealed, but he recognized Zhu Yuanzhang, which at least relieved him of a layer of pressure.

"Father, you are not loyal enough. In fact, I have had many opportunities to discover that there are problems with the emperor and his son over the years. It was only because of your endorsement that I suppressed the suspicion in my heart!
You still have the nerve to say that I..."

Mentioning this matter, Zhang Yi also expressed his dissatisfaction, and Lao Zhang smiled bitterly:

"How many hints did I give you back then, but you didn't see them?
Later, the emperor asked me not to tell you. How dare I risk the lives of hundreds of people in Longhu Mountain to reveal it to you?

Speaking of which, it’s not just you talking nonsense on the mountain that led to..."

The father and son began to blame each other, and finally the blame was turned back to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi looked depressed. There was no mention in the history books that Lao Zhu would inspect the school at Longhu Mountain!

Anyway, this matter can be regarded as a headless case, and it is unclear.

The two of them stopped talking, and Lao Zhang took the opportunity to ask:

"Then what should you do in the future? You yourself said that the emperor is not easy to get along with..."

"That's true, but what can I do?

Since I promised you to take back the title of Heavenly Master, Pindao will not break his promise. After all, you begged me in the first place! "

"Do you have to say [please]?"

Zhang Zhongping's old face turned red. He was indeed sick and sought medical treatment in a hurry back then, but how could he tell such embarrassing things to his face.

"In fact, you don't have to do it. Pindao rejected the emperor back then, so he might not be willing..."

"It's okay. I'm just going to be the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty. I'll work hard and it should be fine!"

Zhang Changsong showed a hint of emotion, but said nothing more. The father and son were speechless, and another night passed.

The next day, Lao Zhang went to see the emperor alone. The emperor didn't say much, just gave him many rewards and left the palace.

After returning, he and Zhang Yi cleaned up, found a matchmaker, and went to the Xu Mansion to propose marriage.

There is a matter of marriage in the first place, and the proposal of marriage is just a formality.

However, Zhang Yi personally made a huge glass mirror, which made Xu Mansion feel embarrassed.

When Lao Zhang and Zhang Yi came to visit, they found that Xu Da had returned to Beijing.

Since the in-laws are also here, the men on both sides are naturally indispensable for the drinking party.

Zhang Yi could not speak at this gathering and could only stay at the last table.

When men drink, they inevitably call each other brothers.

When Xu Da and Zhang Changzhang were mingling, the Xu family girl pulled Zhang Yi's sleeves and asked him to go out together.

"Chang Mao's disappearance has something to do with you!"

As soon as the two of them reached a quiet place, the Xu family girl gave Zhang Yi a critical blow.

It’s not a question, it’s a yes!

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, knowing that it would be difficult for him to cover up this matter in front of the Xu family girl.

"Don't ask, we can handle it!"

Zhang Yi saw her worried look and touched her head.

Chang Mao's death was such a big deal that he didn't dare to talk about it casually.

The Xu family girl nodded when she heard this, and then pulled Zhang Yi's sleeve.

She didn't speak, but Zhang Yineng clearly knew how much she cared about him.

"Don't worry, it's just a fall out with Chang Mansion!"

"This is not only the Chang Mansion, but also the Prince's Mansion..."

The Xu family girl was anxious:

"Behind that dandy are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's in-laws, Uncle Chang, Sister Chang, Lan Yu...

Their family has too many ties with the imperial court!
Where did you get the confidence to escape unscathed? "

The Xu family girl's face was full of anxiety, and she hated Zhang Yi's negative attitude.

The more nervous she became, the more funny Zhang Yi became.

But he also understands a truth.

If this matter is really exposed one day, his friendship with Chang Yuchun and the Chang family will also come to an end.

And he also has to face a multiple-choice question, which is who is more important between the Chang family and him?

If the weight in the emperor's heart is biased towards others, he is likely to become a victim.

Zhang Yi actually knew very well that Chang Mao's death was his leverage in the emperor's hands, and it was also the emperor's leverage in his hands.

There is no point in thinking about things that are upsetting.

He just joked with interest:
"Then are you still married?"

The Xu family girl glared at Zhang Yi and bit him hard on the arm.

Zhang Yi was in pain and almost screamed.

"Forget it, tell me something to make you feel at ease!"

Zhang Yi knew what she was thinking, so he smiled gently and asked the Xu family girl to attach her head to her.

Xu Yatou's face turned red with embarrassment, but she still obeyed and stretched her head over.

"I killed Chang Mao, but His Majesty buried the body..."

The Xu family girl's pupils shrank violently, and she stayed there for a long time without moving.

She raised her head in shock and looked at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was seen smiling and nodding. (End of chapter)
