Chapter Eleven: Ning Jin's Second Victory (1)

If assisting in the government is just angered Emperor Tianqi on the Wanbao Festival, he gave King Xin a free position without real power, and holding the Supreme Guard in the hands of the Supreme Guard in the hands of the Emperor, it is a naked hint. What does Emperor Tianqi mean to hand over the Supreme Guard in the hands of the Emperor to King Xin? The ability of these officials in the court to capture the wind and shadow is really unparalleled in the world. Now holding the Supreme Guard in the hands of the Supreme Guard in the hands of the Emperor, he may be in the control of the Eastern Palace next step.

Since Zhu Yinglong took over the Zhiwei, rumors that Emperor Tianqi wanted to establish King Xin as the king spread among the people. The eunuchs felt panic all day long and ran to Wei Zhongxian's mansion to find out the news. Although Wei Zhongxian gave them a lot of peace of mind, saying that Emperor Tianqi was not a queen, and there were already concubines in the palace who possessed dragon seeds, how could he make King Xin as the crown prince? But he knew better than anyone else that Emperor Tianqi didn't want his son to be the emperor in his heart, because he was a person who was unwilling to be the emperor. He didn't want his children to suffer the same kind of suffering as his own, so he wanted to pass on the pain to his younger brother. No one in this world knows the inner thoughts of Emperor Tianqi better than Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Yinglong originally intended to wait until the weather gets warmer and all the girls in Kaifeng come to the capital, but Kaifeng cannot be watched without anyone, so Zhou Yingning stayed with Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi and others to stay in Kaifeng, and Xiong Zhaolian led people to escort Tian Shuying, Xu Ruying and others to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, on the way to Beijing, Xu Ruying took a day off in a small town called Qingyun Town on the excuse of being unwell, but disappeared with the Taoist nun surnamed Li. Zhu Yinglong's personal daughter was named Xu Ying.

Xiong Zhaolian and his men searched the entire Qingyun Town, and even secretly asked for help from Shadows. In the end, the three people were not found. The two adults and a baby seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. In desperation, Xiong Zhaolian had no choice but to inform Zhu Yinglong of Beijing.

Zhu Yinglong was busy taking over Shangzhiwei, and Wei Zhongxian stumbling to him from time to time. In Shangzhiwei, he first sent him a eunuch Gu Dayong as the military supervisor, and then constantly cultivated private forces and those who planted him. The Shangzhiwei is now divided into two forces. One is the eunuch party power headed by Gu Dayong, with most of them senior generals under his command, and most of them are mediocre. The other is the head of Zhu Yinglong, the admiral of Shangzhiwei. The two sides are now fighting openly and secretly, and he is even more busy and anxious. When he suddenly heard this news, he was like a bolt from the blue and did not recover for a long time.

Xu Ruying left on purpose. She really couldn't stand how to choose with her husband and father. The only way was to leave Zhu Yinglong and take Xu Ying to live a peaceful life with her. So she left quietly with the help of the little nun Li. The letter she left to him told him not to look for her. If she figured it out one day, she would bring her daughter back to find him. The letter also reminded Zhu Yinglong not to forget that there was a sister Li Xiang in Nanjing, and it was time to take the person over.

As a father, he didn't even see his own daughter. Zhu Yinglong felt very disappointed and his will was depressed for many days. If it weren't for Xiong Hu, Shi Kefa and the others would hold on, and he wouldn't know what to do if there were so many things going on the Zhiwei?

As soon as Tian Shuying and Yanhong arrived in Beijing, they hugged Zhu Yinglong and cried bitterly, thinking that they did not take good care of Ruying's sister. When they saw everyone safely arrived in Beijing, Zhu Yinglong was in a better mood. Xiong Zhaolian took the blame to him, but Zhu Yinglong did not blame him too much. He knew Xu Ruying's ability. Xiong Zhaolian might not be able to watch her. Although Xiong Zhaolian was his own person, Zhu Yinglong could not favor himself. He first appointed him a small flag in the Shangzhiwei. This is the lowest military officer in the imperial court. It depends on his efforts. The general should start with a small soldier. Zhu Yinglong also wanted to do this, but his identity would be impossible in this life.

With the care of the girls around her, especially the most understanding sisters of Tian, ​​Zhu Yinglong felt much better, and in a blink of an eye, March passed.

In April, Zhu Yinglong did a lot of things. First, he sent someone to Nanjing to prepare to take Li Xiang to the capital, but the people who went there returned empty car. Meixianglou suffered a big fire before the New Year. The madam and his girls were gone. It is said that most of them were burned because of the contract of selling their bodies and stopped doing flesh-related business. The good-natured Continue to squat in the fire pit. As for the dozen or so girls adopted by the madam, no one knew where they were going. They might have been abducted and trafficked. Zhu Yinglong could only sigh when he received this news. Maybe it was because he came to this time and space. I am afraid that even the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" that were famous in the future would not appear again. No one received it. Zhu Yinglong was extremely melancholy and sighed in his heart that people were impermanent. In addition to ordering the shadow to continue to secretly investigate, this matter gradually disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, it was May. Xiong Zhaolian really lived up to Zhu Yinglong's expectations. Without his help, Huang Daozhou's secret activities have also gained a lot in the past few months. He contacted many middle and lower-level officials who were unsuccessful and honest and young, who were excluded by the eunuch party. They included Qian Jiayi, the chief of the Ministry of Works, Qian Yuanyi, the chief of the Ministry of Works, Mao Shilong, the chief of the Taipu Temple, Zheng Zongzhou, the chief of the Engineering Department, Huang Chengwu, the chief of the Housing Department, Liu Yiliang, the chief of the Criminal Department, Qian Qianyi, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, the lecturer of the imperial court, Zhou Shipu, the right assistant minister who manages salary in the Ministry of Revenue, and several censors. Although there were fewer people, they basically met Zhu Yinglong's requirements. But they didn't know that behind the scenes was King Xin. They just regarded Huang Daozhou as the convener. For safety reasons, Zhu Yinglong did not intend to tell them this secret for the time being.

Now among the six ministries, the Ministry of Justice is in control, and he also has the ability to protect himself. Zhu Yinglong does not intend to fight Wei Zhongxian hard at this time. Emperor Tianqi became worse and worse after the New Year, and had vomited blood several times. All of these were forcibly blocked by Wei Zhongxian. Zhu Yinglong knew clearly, because no matter how much Wei Zhongxian concealed it, he could not hide it from Empress Zhang. I don’t know why. Zhang Yan became much colder to Zhu Yinglong after the New Year, and basically rarely summoned him to the palace.

Although the Five City Military and Horses Office is only a small yamen in charge of the capital's arrest and smuggling streets and ditches, and is only a sixth-rank yamen, it is directly under the Ministry of War of the Capital, which is also an important department that can reach the sky, so the father-in-law still needs to win over. However, when he thinks of his relationship with Kebaba, Zhu Yinglong felt uncomfortable. If he hadn't been to the direct guard now, he would have really wanted to win over the commander of the army in the south of the city, Lord Shi Zhoukuizhou. Now he heard that he was fighting with Kebaba's son Hou Guoxing, and Zhu Yinglong was too lazy to take care of it. At least he wouldn't have any major problems now.

After the reorganization, the Shadow collects and transmits intelligence more efficiently and quickly than before. Although Zhu Yinglong didn't know the specific day of Ning Jin's battle again, the intelligence from Liaodong had been continuously transmitted. Huang Taiji mobilized troops frequently, and food, grass and military supplies were gathering together, especially plundering many benefits from North Korea. Huang Taiji stabilized his Khan position in one fell swoop. It seemed that he had only launched the attack on Ming for a few days. I wonder if Yuan Chonghuan could resist Huang Taiji's sharp aura with victory this time?
