Things happening in the court will affect the future of the Ming Empire.
Nanjing city was completely unaware of it under the imperial court.
Chen Zhi was appointed as a small banner officer of Jinyiwei, responsible for the area near Qinhuai.
Chen Zhi is still very satisfied with his position. Although he is only a minor official from the seventh rank, in the capital, the Jin Yiwei has great intimidation power.
Even the ministers of the DPRK will not be offended easily.
Moreover, for Chen Zhi's position, even if Mao Xiang, the former commander of the capital, was sentenced to death in the 23rd year of Hongwu, it had little to do with him as a small official.
Now that Jiang Wei is taking over, he also needs manpower, and his position is still secure.
Moreover, the capital official is one level higher. He, a small flag officer from the seventh rank, is equivalent to the general flag of the seventh rank when placed outside the capital.
"It's rare for Nanjing to be lively. I want to see what's going on."
While muttering to himself, he waved his hand, followed by several subordinates around him, and Chen Zhi swaggered towards Ping An Tea House.
"Who is it? Why are you so crowded? Don't you know how to queue up?"
As a small flag officer of Jinyiwei, how could he possibly queue up? As soon as I came here, I saw hundreds of people queuing up to buy breakfast.
This made Chen Zhi a little curious, so he jumped in line and stepped forward.
The front was too crowded, so Chen Zhi asked his subordinates to clear a path.
The people in line in front felt the push from behind and subconsciously yelled.
When he turned around and saw that it was Jin Yiwei, he was completely frightened.
Jin Yiwei's name was extremely resounding in the entire capital. This man shuddered and immediately gave up the truth.
When the people in front heard the commotion behind them, they turned around and gave way one after another.
Chen Zhi walked up directly.
When I got to the door of the teahouse, I saw the price list and couldn't help but shout: "Good guy, you are really fooling around. Isn't this disrupting the market?"
"You teahouses are not afraid of investigation and punishment by the Five Cities Military and Horse Department."
The Five Cities Military and Horse Division in Chen Zhi's mouth is a series of comprehensive functional departments such as urban management, fire protection, public security, and price bureaus in later generations.
The Wucheng Bingma Division is a collective name, that is, the Central, East, West, South, and North Cities Military and Horse Command Divisions, which are the five yamen.
When the smart boy saw this, he quickly smiled and said: "Sir, the ingredients used for our breakfast are much more expensive than those used in other teahouses, and the pricing is reasonable."
"Please see, sir, there are so many customers because the taste of our tea house is excellent, otherwise the business would not be so prosperous."
After the boy finished speaking, he immediately served several steamed buns and meat buns for Chen Zhi and his subordinates to taste.
As soon as Chen Zhi took it, the softness of the steamed bun reminded him of Cui'er from Wanhualou. As soon as he took one bite, he was shocked.
"I didn't expect a steamed bun to taste like this."
Thinking of this, Chen Zhi's eyes flashed, he took out a five-guan note and wanted to buy more than ten steamed buns and meat buns.
Soon the shopkeeper came out and immediately signaled that these steamed buns and meat buns were for free. He pushed them down half-heartedly, and Chen Zhi accepted them.
Of course he didn't plan to pay, but now that the capital is tight, he still has to make a good appearance, otherwise it will get a bad reputation.
"I think your teahouse is good, very good."
"Please take good care of me in the future."
"Okay, brothers, let's go, let's not delay other people's business here."
Chen Zhi left with the Jin Yiwei brothers. Before leaving, each Jin Yiwei got steamed buns and meat buns, so they were very happy.
After Chen Zhi ate a few, he felt the meat buns were still warm and quickly walked towards the Jinyiwei Yamen.
Due to its noble status, the Jinyiwei Yamen was not scattered in the lanes of the capital like other Yamen, but was located close to Chengtianmen, the main gate of the imperial city.
It is adjacent to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, across the street from the Six Ministries on the east side, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor.
Jinyiwei is mainly divided into South and North Town Fusi.
Among them, Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for the internal laws and disciplines of Jinyiwei, military discipline, and internal supervision.
The more famous one is Beizhen Fusi, which has a prison and can arrest, interrogate, execute, and execute on its own without going through ordinary judicial institutions.
Chen Zhi is a small flag official in Fusi, Beizhen.
The current military system of the Ming Dynasty is Weihesuo. Each guard has about five thousand regular soldiers under its jurisdiction, and there are offices under it, which are divided into thousand households and hundreds of households.
The small banners, the main banner, and the trial hundred households do not have their own independent office space in Jinyiwei Yamen, only the hundred households have it.
After Chen Zhi entered the yamen, he went straight to where Baihu was.
"Boss, this is a newly opened teahouse by the Qinhuai River. I bought some breakfast there. You can try it."
"You're a little filial child."
Baihu didn't think much, he just picked up a steamed bun and was about to take a bite.
However, I felt the difference as soon as I started it, and I was even more shocked by the taste.
"What a boy, you can still find such a good thing."
Baihu, who was half-lying, straightened up immediately, finished the steamed buns in a few mouthfuls, and then looked at the remaining steamed buns and meat buns in Chen Zhi's hand.
Of course Chen Zhi showed his filial piety.
Baihu took it and was about to eat the second one, but before his hands touched it, he suddenly stopped.
"Staying here may be of benefit to you."
Hundreds of households carried steamed buns and meat buns and went straight out.
Looking at the situation, it was obvious that he took the remaining steamed buns and meat buns to honor thousands of households.
No matter what age you are, you must have understanding when you are an official.
After Qianhu tasted one, he took the rest and went straight to Beizhen Fushi.
Zhenfu envoy, from the fourth rank. But he is an official with real power. He has more power than the chief minister, Tongzhi, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the commander of Jinyiweidu.
The current official of Beizhen's envoy is Song Zhong.
Mao Xiang, the former commander of Jinyi Guards, was sentenced to death after the Hu Weiyong case, and is now held by Jiang Ying.
Jiang Yu was the former envoy of Beizhen.
In the history of the original Ming Dynasty, after the Lan Yu case, when Jiang Yu was sentenced to death, Song Zhong was in charge.
However, Song Zhong did not work for two years. In June of the 28th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the punishments of tattooing, stabbing, non-cutting, mutilation, and castration.
At the same time, the Jinyiwei system was abolished until Zhu Di was in trouble, and it was restored again.
Later, under Emperor Jianwen, Song Zhong served as the commander-in-chief of garrisoning troops in Kaiping. He was in close contact with Linqing where Xu Kai garrisoned troops and Shanhaiguan where Geng Gu garrisoned troops.
Finally, during the Jingnan War, the army was defeated at the Yellow River. More than a hundred of the generals and commanders were captured by the King of Yan, but they all refused to surrender and were executed.
"An ordinary steamed bun can be so delicious. It's amazing."
Song Zhong himself is considered a foodie and loves delicious food, so he was full of praise after tasting the delicious food.
After eating the meat buns, my mouth was full of oil and I felt more comfortable, and then I asked: "Where does this kind of delicious food come from?"
Qianhu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, so he had to say that he came from Baihu.
Hundreds of random households were summoned.
Baihu was also embarrassed and explained that this was the filial piety of a small banner official under his command.
Immediately, Chen Zhi, the flag officer of the Beizhen Service Department, was called to come.
Chen Zhi looked at Song Zhong, the envoy of Beizhen, who was wearing a bullfight uniform, with a trace of envy flashing deep in his eyes.
Then he reported: "There is a newly opened teahouse on the bank of the Qinhuai River. It was overcrowded when it opened today. I went to explore out of curiosity. When I tasted it, I was astonished. I bought it specially to show my filial piety."
"There are a lot of breakfast items, many of which I have never even heard of, so I bought this ordinary steamed bun and meat bun to taste first."
When Song Zhong heard this, he stood up with a look of surprise on his face and said, "That's it, then I'll go and see who can actually make such delicious food."
