The full name of the inner guard should be called the imperial guard.
The Imperial Guards are one of the regular establishments in the Forbidden Army. However, in addition to the formal task of guarding the emperor, the Imperial Guards also have a part of the Imperial Guards who take turns guarding the Emperor's palace. They are called the imperial guards in front of the palace and the internal guards. .
The number of people on the surface of the inner guard is not large, about one or two thousand, but as an armed force loyal only to the emperor, I am afraid only the emperor himself can tell how many people the inner guard has hidden in the dark.
To put it bluntly, the imperial court is a violent institution.
If you want to secure the throne and be the master of this violent organization, your subordinates must directly control the power of violence. The internal guards are the armed forces directly subordinate to the emperor and do not have to answer to any officials in the court. They are the guarantee for the emperor to secure the throne... one.
In addition to guarding the palace, the internal guards also had the right to travel around on behalf of the emperor according to the emperor's orders, and even had independent administrative powers to a certain extent.
This power of execution can be accomplished only within the Internal Guard without going through the Three Law Departments or any yamen of the imperial court.
However, this kind of independent judicial power only targets civilians without official status. If the target is an official, the internal guards must communicate with the court's law enforcement agencies and cannot act recklessly.
Because if the internal guards can deal with officials at will, it will cause collective dissatisfaction among the scholar-bureaucrats in the court, and even cause trouble in the court.
Juren Ducan also belonged to the class of scholar-bureaucrats.
Although he does not have an official position, he has a reputation and the internal guards cannot deal with him at will, but there is no problem in visiting him for questioning.
As a result, the unlucky Du Juren was sneaked into a guard room in Jiankang City by the internal guards in the early morning, and various interrogation methods were used on Du Shen, hoping to I asked whether the song "Qin Huai Speechless Talking about the Setting Sun" was written by this Du Juren.
But no matter how the guards asked, Du Shen would bite him to death. He heard this poem by the Qinhuai River.
If this result is reported to the emperor, His Majesty will definitely be unhappy, so the inner guard can only continue to ask, who wrote the poem that day, where he lives, and what he looks like.
This is very painful for Du Juren.
On the bank of the Qinhuai River that day, he heard Xu Fu read the last two sentences of this poem. He felt that it was very suitable to his heart, so he went up and asked about the first two sentences. As for where Xu Fu's family lived, he really had no idea at all. Xu Fu even called He didn't know what the name was.
Fortunately, Du Juren had a good memory and gave the inner guard a rough description of Xu Fu's appearance.
Thirteen or fourteen years old, somewhat thin, with sallow skin, wearing a thick cotton coat...
………………
Du Juren was returned to his home that afternoon and was ordered not to tell anyone what happened today.
At the same time, Du Shen's description of Xu Fu's appearance was also sent to the little emperor's head.
The great eunuch Gao Ming stood beside the emperor with his hands lowered. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this Du Shen has been talking about the Northern Expedition in private in the past few years. It can be seen that he has a strong temper. Since he read this poem at the Shangyuan Poetry Conference If it is really written by him, then he has no reason to deny it."
"If it was really written by him, he would not only recognize it, but also be proud of it."
The little emperor looked at the description of Xu Fu on the table and frowned slightly.
"The internal guards are becoming less and less interested in doing things. I asked you to check, then check clearly. If it turns out that it was not written by Du Shen, then go find the person who wrote the poem. Since he is in Jiankang City, Then there is no reason that cannot be found.”
Eunuch Gao looked at the emperor cautiously and asked, "Your Majesty, after you find this person, do you want to punish him?"
"No."
The little emperor slowly shook his head and whispered: "After I find him, I will give him a reward. I will tell the whole Jiankang, and even the whole world, that I have not forgotten that Da Chen's beauty is no longer beautiful, and I will not indulge in the Qinhuai night. Go and sing joyfully around the boat!"
Having said this, the Hongde Emperor, who had been on the throne for six years, slowly clenched his fists.
He did not continue speaking, but he secretly made up his mind.
He wants to look north and he wants to revive China!
After all, he is only sixteen years old.
In the heart of every young person, it is inevitable that there will be great ambitions, great ideals and great ambitions.
However, in the face of reality, it is unknown how many years these ideals and aspirations can last and how long they can exist.

Shen Yi, who lives in Prince Jin's Mansion, naturally doesn't know about the matters in the Deqing Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Of course, if he knew about it, he would probably marvel at the wonders of the world.
An incomplete poem he accidentally copied turned out to be a turning point in the Hongde Dynasty.
Shen Yi now lives quite comfortably in Prince Jin's Mansion.
When I first arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, I secretly moved into the guest room of Prince Jin's Mansion. Although I lived comfortably, I was a little bit nervous. I was afraid that someone from Prince Jin's Mansion would one day catch me, even if I didn't do anything to him. It would be somewhat embarrassing.
But after meeting Gu Changshi, this concern was dispelled.
Gu Changshi is already the highest-ranking court official in Prince Jin's Mansion. Although his rank is very different from Prince Jin's, he has worked in Prince Jin's Mansion for more than ten years and has more or less dignity. With him standing behind Shen Yi, Staying in a guest room for a few days is not a big deal.
Because the Xuezheng Yamen has not issued a specific time for the college examination, Shen Yi can only prepare for the examination while living in the Jin Palace. Now he is much more casual than before. When he is not studying, he will follow his father After Shen Zhang said hello, he would run to the city and hang out with Xu Fu in Jiankang City, which he called "inspecting the market."
After five or six days of "inspection", Shen Yi had a clearer understanding of Jiankang City.
In today's world, the Southern and Northern Dynasties are at odds. The imperial city of Yan in the north is the old capital of Dachen. Needless to say, Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Dynasties, has become a large city with a population of over one million after sixty years of development. city.

In Jiankang City, in addition to the "consumption center" of Qinhuai River, there are also large markets such as Dongxi Street Market. It stands to reason that as long as you have an idea, it is not difficult to make money here.
After staying in Jiankang for a few days with Xu Fu, Shen Yi spent money to rent a small courtyard two or three miles away from the Qinhuai River.
Compared with the rent of seven taels a year in Jiangdu, the rent in Jiankang is much more expensive. The rent for a courtyard not much bigger than the one in Jiangdu costs twenty-five taels a year.
However, Jiankang already has a more professional "intermediary agency" called Yahang. At least 10% of the twenty-five taels of silver was taken by Yahang.
But no matter what, Shen Yi and Xu Fu at least have a "stronghold" in Jiankang and no longer need to rely on others.
On the third day after the house was rented, the third child under Xu Fu also came to Jiankang with an escort agency in Jiangdu.
When the third child arrived in Jiankang, Shen Yi began to teach the two of them to sell some new food.
The reason why he continues to sell food in Jiankang is because Shen Yi is still too short of money.
Previously in Jiangdu, a few little guys sold pancakes for several months, and together with other income, they totaled one or two hundred taels of silver. This money was enough for Xu Fu and others, but For Shen Yi, there was nothing he could do.
So, he planned to make another sum of money in Jiankang.
This time, Shen Yi was not going to make hard-earned money, but was going to make quick money.
After training two people in a rented cabin for a few days, buying the necessary raw materials, and cooking the first pot of soup, Shen Yi called Xu Fu.
"Go to Yahang and find some free people. We'll need them when we open tomorrow."
Shen Qilang looked calm: "There will be about twenty or thirty people, and each person will be given fifty cents a day."
