Zhu Chenming was thinking about how to make money. Wang En walked forward and said to Zhu Chenming who was in deep thought, "Your Majesty, Qi Lingqiu, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, has arrived."
Zhu Chenming put down the documents in his hands, took a sip of tea and said:
"Invite Uncle Qi in quickly."
After digesting the memory of the original owner, Zhu Chenming knew very well who Qi Lingqiu was.
Not only was he deeply trusted by the late emperor as the commander of the Jinyi Guards for more than ten years, but Qi Lingqiu's eldest son Qi Maocai, who was the same age as Zhu Chenming, served as the prince's companion in the East Palace for more than ten years.
Because of this, the original owner had a very good relationship with Qi Lingqiu, and they were always called Uncle Qi.
Qi Lingqiu walked in slowly from outside the palace, saluted Zhu Chenming who was sitting at the table and said:
"Your Majesty Qi Lingqiu pays homage to the Emperor."
Zhu Chenming stood up directly and walked towards Qi Lingqiu. He held Qi Lingqiu up with both hands and said with a smile:
"Uncle Qi, get up quickly, why do you and I, my uncle and my nephew, have to be so different from each other?
I now give you permission not to worship the emperor when you see him in the future. "
Zhu Chenming was surprised while dragging Qi Lingqiu. He didn't expect that Qi Lingqiu was already 50 years old, but his arms were still so strong. Even through the thick winter clothes, he could feel the strong muscles.
Qi Lingqiu looked at Zhu Chenming and said seriously: "Your Majesty, there is a difference between monarch and minister. Your Majesty, who has just ascended the throne, must maintain royal majesty in front of ministers."
"Uncle Qi is joking. Of course I understand this, but my relationship with Uncle Qi is not comparable to others. I only allow Uncle Qi to see the emperor without worshiping him."
Upon hearing this, Qi Lingqiu's serious face showed a smile.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
Before Zhu Chenming could say anything else, Qi Lingqiu continued:
"Your Majesty, after the death of the late emperor, many people with ulterior motives in Yingtian City have been exposed. The Jinyiwei has already taken control of some of them, and the remaining Jinyiwei are still continuing to investigate. However, the situation has improved a lot since Your Majesty ascended the throne yesterday."
Zhu Chenming was interrupted from his train of thought and was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile when he heard what Qi Lingqiu said.
As expected of the person who has been in charge of Jinyiwei for more than 10 years, he simply controlled the situation in Yingtian City before Zhu Chenming ascended the throne.
Although there is no hint in [Don’t even think about running away if you are a genius], the talent of a person who has achieved this level is not too low.
People with talents over 85 are enough to become top talents in the corresponding industry. Now I have only met three ministers, and I am very satisfied with two of them exceeding 85.
But when he thought about this, Zhu Chenming remembered that he had not used Qi Lingqiu's skills yet. Then he looked at the system panel calmly:
[Show me your heart]:
[Name: Qi Lingqiu
Age: 50
Position: Commander of Jinyiwei
Loyalty: 90]
(I won’t add gender later, it feels a bit redundant)
He is worthy of being an old minister left behind by his cheap father. His ability and loyalty are very reliable.
Zhu Chenming pulled Qi Lingqiu back to the chair, cleared his throat and said:
"Uncle Qi sat down and spoke slowly. It seems that there are many informants from various forces in Yingtian City.
But with Uncle Qi here, I feel relieved. I must investigate more. When facing spies, I can't be too careful. "
Qi Lingqiu said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the late emperor has always valued Jinyiwei. Since I took office, the late emperor has allocated funds ten times to support the expansion of Jinyiwei. The size of Jinyiwei has expanded more than five times than ten years ago.
The investigation and punishment of the spies in Yingtian City have been done enough. After this matter is over, I will strengthen the control in Yingtian City to ensure the safety of the capital to the greatest extent. "
Zhu Chenming became interested as soon as he heard it. His cheap dad seemed to have something, and he could support the expansion of Jinyiwei for ten years.
"Oh? Then Uncle Qi, please tell me about the current situation of Jin Yiwei."
When Qi Lingqiu heard what Zhu Chenming said, he couldn't help but let go of his worries. Although he had no intention of competing for power, he still felt proud that Jinyiwei had grown to such a scale in his own hands with the support of the late emperor.
After Zhu Chenming came to the throne, Qi Lingqiu was worried that Zhu Chenming, like the previous emperors, did not value the Jinyiwei, causing the Jinyiwei to exist in name only.
He felt relieved when he heard Zhu Chenming take the initiative to ask about Jin Yiwei's situation.
Don't ask for the same attention as the late emperor, just don't rush to reduce the scale.
"Your Majesty, there are currently more than 12,000 Jinyiwei personnel, divided into the Zhenfu Division, the Ming Dynasty Division, the Asian Division, the European Division, the African Division and the American Division.
Among them, the Zhenfu Division is the specialized armed force of Jinyiwei, which is exclusively used by Jinyiwei. There are 2,000 people in total, all of whom are elites in the army.
There are more than 5,000 people in the Ming Dynasty Department and more than 3,000 people in the Asia Department. Due to race reasons, there are only more than 1,500 people in the European and American departments. Africa is too backward and does not pay much attention to it, with only 500 people. "
"Most of the Ming Dynasty Ministry is businessmen and farmers from various places. These groups mainly convey some real local conditions to the headquarters to prevent local officials from deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth.
The remaining part is to monitor the detailed work of each minister.
Most of the remaining ministries are ordinary traders distributed in various countries, as well as bribed officials from various countries, among whom the highest-ranking one is the Minister of Finance. "
Zhu Chenming couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect Jinyiwei to be so powerful and basically a mature intelligence agency.
However, thinking that the furry bears in the north were about to collapse, Zhu Chenming couldn't help but warn:
"Uncle Qi, I don't care about Jinyiwei's power in Mao Xiong now. I will allocate money to you from internal funds in a few days. You must use this money to expand your power in Mao Xiong to the greatest extent. The bigger the better.
According to my analysis, the political situation in Mao Xiong is unstable, and sooner or later the pill will be taken. Then it will be our opportunity. "
Qi Lingqiu is Zhu Chenming's confidant, so it is natural to say these things to him.
Zhu Chenming said it without intention, but Qi Lingqiu listened with intention.
He couldn't help but be shocked. He had always watched Zhu Chenming grow up, and in his impression, Zhu Chenming had never paid attention to the stuffed bears.
This is how to predict that the powerful Mao Xiong will be disbanded. It seems that His Majesty is not as simple as it seems.
But there was also a feeling of emotion in my heart. The spirit of the late emperor in heaven could rest in peace seeing that His Majesty was so concerned about state affairs.
"Your Majesty, I would like to object, although Mao Xiong's economy continues to decline, its military strength is still strong. How could it be easily disintegrated?" Qi Lingqiu replied,
Zhu Chenming showed an expression that he had everything under control and answered with a smile:
“That’s true on the surface, but those at the Bear Center have long since abandoned their ideals.
No matter how powerful the military is, it only serves politics. I guarantee you that within two years, Mao Xiong will be disintegrated! "
Zhu Chenming did not directly say that it would be disbanded within a year, but extended it a little longer. Predictions cannot be too absolute.
Qi Lingqiu thought carefully about what Zhu Chenming said.
As a pure military commander, although he was often involved in political storms, this sentence still had a great impact on him. However, Qi Lingqiu was not rude and said to Zhu Chenming:
"Your Majesty's words made me enlightened. Your Majesty, you can rest assured that I will live up to your Majesty's trust and expand the power of Jin Yiwei in Mao Xiong to the greatest extent without being discovered."
"Okay, I feel relieved because of your words, but I still want to emphasize that after the capital is dealt with, most of the Jin Yiwei's strength will be invested in Mao Xiong. This is the empire's biggest opportunity at the moment!"
"I understand!"
Qi Lingqiu said seriously. His Majesty repeatedly emphasized that he naturally understood the importance of this matter.
"Okay, then Uncle Qi, let's go back first."
"I excuse myself."
After saying this, Qi Lingqiu bowed and left the Chengzheng Hall.
