Zhu Yuanzhang was too clear about the danger of the Jinyiwei to the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why he established the Embroidered Uniform Guards and gave the Embroidered Uniform Guards the privilege to bypass the three judicial departments was just for convenience.
Because he had too many people to deal with.
Among these people, there were traitors, corrupt officials, and people that he personally thought could pose a threat to the Great Ming Empire.
However, when the people who needed to be eliminated were all eliminated, the Jinyiwei would be the final threat.
He had already thought it through. After dealing with the last batch of proud soldiers and valiant generals, he would kill the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and offer him a sacrifice.
At the same time, he also took back the authority of the Jinyiwei and let them become the guards of honor who were in charge of the emperor's travels.
"Child!"
"How do you know all this?"
"I guessed it!"
"Guessed?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this answer, he wanted to slap this guy to death!
Why are you so good at guessing!
Why don't you guess when I'll die?
Zhu Yuanzhang's nagging in his heart 1.
"Child, these words will rot in your stomach in the future. Don't ever tell anyone else.”
"Yes, yes!"
"Grandfather, don't worry. I won't tell anyone.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Qin Mu's assurance, he felt slightly relieved and reminded him.
"After you go back, prepare for this military exercise.”
"You have to perform well in the military exercise. If you perform well enough, it will be of great benefit to you!”
Qin Mu asked with anticipation.
"Grandpa Huang, tell me, how big can this benefit be?”
"Can't you guess? Why don't you guess?”
Qin Mu lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Could it be that the emperor can make me a third-grade commander?”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed proudly.
"Guess again?"
"Could it be that because of the military reform I wrote before, I will be transferred to the Ministry of War as an assistant minister?”
"Try your best to guess!”
Qin Mu was in a dilemma when he heard this.
"How are we supposed to guess?"
"My guess is already exaggerated enough. Who can let a teenager become an assistant minister of the Ministry of War?”
"If I were to guess further, it could only be the Minister of War!”
"However, this is absolutely impossible!”
"Not to mention our Great Ming, even since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there has never been such a young Minister of War!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Qin Mu's conflicted expression, he couldn't help but feel gratified.
I didn't expect a little fox like you to have a time of defeat. Hahaha.
"Eldest Sun!"
"You're still too low!"
Qin Mu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in astonishment.
"Grandpa Huang!"
"I even dare to dream of becoming the Minister of War, and you still dare to say that I have a low status?”
"Could it be that Emperor Zhu is willing to pass the throne to me and let me be the emperor?”
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip of his herbal tea.
"Yes!"
"It's about time!"
"Almost?"
Qin Mu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang as if he was looking at something.
"Old Yellow!"
"Emperor Zhu values the Great Ming Empire more than anything else. How could he pass the throne to an outsider like me?”
"You don't have any confidence in your words!”
"To think that I was touched by you just now and sincerely called you grandfather!”
"Is this how you fool your eldest grandson?”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and did not explain.
If there were some misunderstandings, he would just let them be.
"It's getting late. Grandpa will send you out of the city!”
"When you go back, you have to train well. Don't neglect the military exercise in a few days!”
"Aiya!"
"Got it!"
"As long as I perform well, there will be great benefits!”
Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't annoyed when he saw Qin Mu being so perfunctory. He just looked at him with a kind expression until he sent him out of Black Tortoise Gate.
After Qin Mu left, a small door between the Eastern Palace and the imperial palace slowly opened.
A group of palace maids and eunuchs filed in through the small door.
Today, they had received a strange order. They had to leave the Imperial Palace immediately and hide in the Eastern Palace.
Moreover, you are not allowed to make any sound!
No one knew why. Even the Crown Princess Consort, Lady Lu, was confused.
"Master Huang!"
"Is there any deeper meaning behind Father's arrangement?”
Huang Zicheng looked thoughtful.
"Crown Princess, His Majesty is doing this because he wants to meet an extremely important person in the palace!”
"His goal is to not let anyone see him!”
"Someone very important?"
When the Crown Princess Consort heard these words, her face almost twitched like a chrysanthemum.
Ever since the Crown Prince died, was there anyone important in this world?
If there really was such an important person, then the position of the imperial grandson…
"Master Huang, will this matter affect Yun Wen?”
Corey was a very honest person and was not good at lying.
Hearing this, he shook his head unhappily.
"It's not clear yet. It's not easy to judge…"
"If the Crown Princess can bribe the Emperor's personal guards and inquire about His Majesty's whereabouts during this period of time, she might be able to analyze it.”
Crown Princess Consort Lu shook her head.
"Impossible!"
"The Xiao Hu beside His Majesty was an old man who followed His Majesty when he beat Chen Youliang. He can't be bribed by me!”
"If I forcefully rope her in, it might cause Imperial Father to be disgusted and it would harm Yun Wen instead.”
The Crown Princess, Lady Lu, was very self-aware and knew her limits.
She could rope in a few eunuchs to inquire about the emperor's diet and daily life.
After all, even if the Emperor heard about it, she could explain that it was her daughter-in-law who was worried about her father's health.
However, once he inquired about the emperor's whereabouts, it would be a taboo for the royal family.
Not to mention that she was only the Crown Princess, even if she was the Emperor's daughter, she would be severely punished!
Huang Zicheng frowned.
"Then we can only watch this military exercise!”
"Military exercise?"
"Yes!"
"This military exercise is unprecedented. Not only will the border troops, but the vassal kings from all over the world will also bring a battalion of soldiers to participate!”
"There are already quite a number of vassal kings who have entered the capital. The Imperial Court has arranged for them to be stationed in the nearest military camp.”
The Crown Princess asked worriedly.
"How's Yun Wen's preparation going?”
This was Huang Zicheng's sore spot. He had invited Lan Yu, but he hadn't been able to invite her. When he went to invite other generals, they were all ruined by Lan Yu.
As a result, the training of the soldiers in the Crown Prince's Residence was all maintained by a thousand households.
However, he couldn't say this to the Crown Princess Consort!
"Reporting to the Crown Princess, the guards of the Eastern Palace are one in a hundred warriors. With a little training, they can completely defeat the other vassal kings!”
"That's good!"
"Thank you for everything, Master Huang!”
