After the meeting at Fengtian Palace, Zhu Jianshen saw the recommendation form given to him by Zhu Ji.
I would like to recommend Menda as the commander of Jinyiwei.
Menda.
When Zhu Jianshen saw the name Menda, he was slightly stunned.
Menda had a very bad reputation in history, and cruelty was synonymous with him. During the Tianshun reign, he had handled many major cases. , so that without cross-examination, there is nothing to refute." This is history's evaluation of him. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
After Zhu Jianshen saw it, he did not reject it directly. Instead, he took a closer look at Menda's resume.
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Jianshen decided to summon him to have a look first.
A word in the history book is a person's life, but Zhu Jianshen knew in his heart that by the side of the emperor, he fought openly and secretly, won a good death and left a good name, but lost his life after losing, and was used to notoriety. Few people would be like history. Yu Qian was also truly rehabilitated.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jianshen met Menda.
A man who is not tall, but has a cold aura all over his body.
Even though Menda Zhu Jianshen looked very docile with his head lowered and his waist bent, many things could not be hidden.
"I, your Majesty, are dressed in royal robes, and are responsible for the punishment of thousands of families. I wish you long live your Majesty." With that, Menda knelt down.
"Commander Zhu recommends you as a fellow commander." Zhu Jianshen did not let Menda stand up, but asked him to kneel down and reply.
"I am terrified."
"Your grandfather was a member of Jinyiwei, and your father was a member of Jinyiwei Baihu. When you were less than thirty years old, you became the Qianhu of Jinyiwei. At the age of thirty-six, you were also in charge of suppressing and punishing. Since Commander Zhu recommended you, you must have the qualifications Is North Korea willing to go where it excels?"
After hearing this, Menda hurriedly responded: "I am willing to go to North Korea to assist the former Liu Tongzhi in forming a imperial guard."
Zhu Jianshen nodded after listening. It seemed that Zhu Ji had also told Menda these things.
The former commander of Jin Yiwei was sent to Pyongyang by Zhu Jianshen due to the Xiangyang Incident. Half a month later, Zhu Jianshen thought that although the Korean War was continuing, the Ming Dynasty's annexation of North Korea could be completed in these two years.
By then, a large part of the officials who will be in charge of North Korea will definitely be members of the original North Korean gentry, and the spy network on North Korea must be started as soon as possible.
Liu Tong had this experience, and Zhu Jianshen gave him a decree, asking Liu Tong to form an organization under Jinyiwei, Chaopingwei, referred to as Chaowei. It has the same setup as Jinyiwei, with one commander, fourth grade, and one commander. From the fourth rank, one person will be in command of the fifth rank, and two people from a thousand households will be from the sixth rank, and there will be more than 2,000 people.
Although he was officially under the Jin Yiwei, he was directly responsible to the emperor. Because he only managed the secret intelligence work in North Korea, he was one level lower than the Jin Yiwei's official position from the commander to the Qianhu.
Now Zhu Jianshen asked Menda to go to North Korea to serve as the commanding officer of the fourth rank first. After he and Liu Tong completed the arrangement of the intelligence network, he could return to the capital and serve as the commanding commander of the third rank Jinyiwei. This was also an experience.
Zhu Jianshen briefly chatted with Menda for some more time, and then asked Menda to retreat.
After Menda left, Zhang Bao whispered: "Your Majesty, this sword is very sharp."
Before Zhu Jianshen summoned Menda, Zhang Bao reviewed all the cases and methods that Menda had handled since he entered Jinyiwei in the 11th year of Zhengtong. It is not difficult to see from his methods of handling cases that this person is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. , so there is such a saying.
Zhu Jianshen smiled when he heard this: "A sharp knife is easy to use. If one day the knife becomes uneasy, it will be destroyed directly."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Jianshen picked up the memorial and started reading it.
Zhang Bao, who was standing beside him, had hesitation on his face. After a long pause, he finally said: "Your Majesty, two months ago, Uncle Liao Ping sent a group of female relatives from North Korea to the palace. Many of them are girls from Pyongyang. , Your Majesty, would you like to take a look?"
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he glanced at Zhang Bao and chuckled: "What, do you think I am a lecher? You want me to choose first."
It has been almost half a year since Zhu Jianshen's wedding. Except for the queen and the particularly beautiful attendant, Zhu Jianshen has not favored anyone else. As for the two concubines, they have not met Enze yet, so they go to choose the ones sent from North Korea. Women, no matter what you say, it is inappropriate.
"I dare not..." Zhang Bao said quickly.
"You also reminded me that you should personally select a few women and send them to your father." Zhu Jianshen said softly, and then began to read the memorial again.
After looking at it twice, he found that Zhang Bao didn't respond and didn't go down: "Big companion, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Why are you hiding it in front of me?"
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Zhang Bao shook his teeth and continued: "Your Majesty, among these female relatives, there is the princess of Pyongyang. It's strange that this princess is still a virgin and she is very beautiful. I don't know if your majesty wants it." Summon him and interrogate him."
After hearing Zhang Bao's words, Zhu Jianshen gave a bitter smile. He was about to refuse, but when he saw Zhang Bao's sincere eyes, he immediately gave up his mind. Is this princess really that beautiful?
"Okay, you can bring this princess to me, but I don't have any other ideas. I just want to ask about the customs and customs of Pyongyang, North Korea."
"Yes, Your Majesty..." After Zhang Bao listened, he turned around and left, but Zhu Jianshen shouted again: "The women prepared for my father must be carefully selected, and they must be able to speak the language of the Ming Dynasty. The bitter cold land of Tumubao , it can also relieve my father’s boredom and give him some fun.”
After Zhang Bao heard this, he was secretly moved in his heart. His Majesty is really the most filial son in the world. Good things happen to the Supreme Emperor first, and then to himself.
After Shi Biao occupied Pyongyang, he selected a group of female relatives from the royal city under the age of sixteen and sent them to the capital. There were more than 300 people, and the only one over the age of sixteen was
He never said that he would dedicate them to His Majesty, but these women were carefully selected. When they arrived in the capital, the people in the palace would naturally understand.
After these women entered the palace, they all became palace maids. They were trained in etiquette by the old palace ladies, and then stayed to work in the palace.
After these women arrived in the palace city, they were placed in an inconspicuous courtyard in the East Sixth Palace, and the princess Han Zhen also lived there, no different from other palace ladies.
Han Zhen followed the female relatives all the way into Beijing, and after entering the palace, she knew her fate.
If she was left in Pyongyang, it would mean that the Ming army was only intervening in the battle between Pyongyang and Seoul, and had no ambition to destroy North Korea. However, she was not left in Pyongyang, but was sent to the power center of the Ming Dynasty as a trophy by the Ming army. This proves that Ming Dynasty wants to destroy North Korea this time, and neither Pyongyang nor Seoul will be spared.
Originally, Han Zhen thought that her identity should be the highest-status trophy obtained by the Ming army in North Korea, and that she should be able to receive other treatment. However, after two months, she had the same fate as the woman next to her. She worked in the morning and spent the afternoon. After working, in the evening, I started to learn some Ming Palace etiquette.
Just when she was about to accept her fate and prepare to work for the rest of her life, she saw the old eunuch again.
According to the palace maids, this old eunuch is the highest-ranking servant in the palace and someone close to His Majesty the Emperor.
The old eunuch took her for a bath and inspection, and four or five palace maids served her to change her clothes. Under his leadership, she walked into a majestic palace.
Han Zhen has been in the palace for two months, and she also knows that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty lives in this palace...
