"You go down first!"

The emperor turned his eyes and spoke calmly.

"Yes!" Although he was very curious about what was going on, Zhu Mou was very sensible and left with a calm face.

Liu Afu understood what the emperor meant and immediately whispered a few words, and the eunuch flew away.

The emperor retracted his thighs, stood up directly, and looked at the lake.

The surface of the lake is sparkling, and fish are jumping from time to time, as are the flowers and fruits hanging down by the lake.

Suddenly, a bird descended from the sky at great speed, with a wingspan of more than six feet. From a distance, the bird's beak was sharp and hooked, and its claws were so sharp that it seemed to be able to throw away a person's head.

"boom--"

When the bird touches the water, ripples appear on the lake instantly, water drops drip on its feathers, and it rises into the air. A fish weighing ten kilograms is jumping around in its two paws.

The guards were instantly frightened and stood ready.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the bird flew straight into the pavilion, and a big fat koi stopped three feet away from the emperor, jumping lively and splashing on the ground.

"good!"

Zhu Yixi looked at the one-meter-tall Haidongqing in front of her. Its white feathers had black spots, and it looked majestic.

He couldn't help but praise.

The eunuch on the side hurriedly handed over the shredded meat, and the emperor picked up a few finger-sized pieces with his hands and handed them to his mouth.

Hai Dongqing was not afraid of him. He took a few steps, picked up the meat and quickly swallowed it.

I chirped a few times and it was clear and loud. I was very satisfied with the food.

The eunuch on the side was very eye-catching. Although his legs couldn't stop swaying, he still brought the pot of shredded meat over and let the wither peck at it.

The emperor touched its feathers, but the latter was focused on eating and didn't care.

"Cook this fish, yes, braise it. Qing'er caught it himself. I want to taste it."

"Yes!" Liu Afu responded with a smile: "This bird is really filial and knows how to occupy His Majesty!"

"People's minds are complex, while birds and other animals have simple minds. They have no other pursuits except eating, drinking and reproducing."

At some point, Zhu Yixi had a small comb in his hand and was combing his feathers.

This Haidongqing was presented by the Heilongjiang general. It was originally a pair. At the beginning of the year, two more eggs were hatched, but in the end only one survived.

As for the pair of Haidongqing, according to ancient custom, the emperor directly released them and let them go to the Northeast to thrive.

Of course, sometimes, when Haidongqing falls in love with his master, the hunters will send him off again and again.

Soon, less than half a quarter of an hour after feeding, the commander of the Jinyiwei came in a hurry, with an incomprehensible look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Chu Yu, Commander of the Jinyi Guards (commanding Qianshi Luo Zuowu), comes to see Your Majesty——"

Chu Yu, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was a general of the Search Department as early as the Huguang period.

In Shandong, he encouraged the Yuyuan Army to sneak attack on the Qing Dynasty's logistics. Later, he persuaded Gao Jie's generals to surrender, and wiped out tens of thousands of Gao Jie in one fell swoop. For his outstanding achievements, he was awarded the title of Viscount.

After more than ten years of development, he has reached the top of the Jinyiwei and has become the much-anticipated commander of the Jinyiwei.

When he reaches middle age, he has gained a lot of weight, but his eyes are bright and his legs and feet are nimble, so he is very competent in his job.

Another Jinyiwei commander, Luo Zuowu, was in his thirties. He had a short beard, a square face, and sharp eyes. He was wearing a Jinyiwei Feiyu suit, which gave him a more shrewd and capable look.

Compared to Chu Yu, Luo Zuowu got a few more looks from the emperor.

Luo Zuowu was born in the Luo family of Jinyiwei.

His family was a military family who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, and inherited it from generation to generation. Later, Luo Sheng entered the Huguangxing Palace, and his son Luo An inherited his father's duties and followed Jiajing northward, serving as a fellow advisor, commander and envoy in the Jinyi Guard.

Although Lu Bing is the most powerful commander of the Jinyi Guards, the Luo family is a low-key and powerful faction.

Later, the Luo family took root in Jinyiwei. Luo An, Luo Chun, Luo Sigong, and Luo Yangxing served as commanders of Jinyiwei for three generations. It can be said that they are a Jinyi family.

After Chongzhen's death, Luo Yangxing served as the governor of Tianjin. Later, although he was able to correct the situation in time during Shaowu's Northern Expedition, he was stained and had to live in seclusion.

Because he was from a Jinyi family, his nephew Luo Zuowu was only a small captain in the Jinyi Guards, but with his outstanding ancestral skills, he became the commander of the Jinyi Guards after more than ten years.

This is a fourth-rank official, second only to the commander, Tongzhi.

Network and ability are indispensable.

Luo Zuowu had both.

In this regard, the emperor acquiesced.

There is no way, although Luo Yangxing has shortcomings in virtue, the Luo family has served the old Zhu family for more than three hundred years from Taizu to the present, and everyone in the Luo family has been loyal ministers for more than ten generations.

His roots are so red.

Of course, if you don't have the ability, the emperor will completely look down on you.

"You guys can go down too!"

Seeing his expression, the emperor began to retreat.

At this time, there were only four people, Liu Afu, the emperor, Chu Yu, and Luo Zuowu in the corridor, while the other guards were waiting a hundred steps away.

There was no danger, of course, and the guards were eager for a chance to save him.

"Your Majesty, since the second year of Shaowu, I have been following the footsteps of the Ding thieves (referring to the three princes Zhu, referred to as the second prince Ding), from Shanhaiguan, Gyeonggi, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Qinghai, and even to the state of Kang.

I have never found any news."

"Later, I was afraid that I would be a slave, so I went to Liaodong, Jilin, Horqin tribes, and even Monan."

"In the past two years, I also sent people to the so-called Fengjing Mansion to inquire about information. Secondly, I could also prepare for future wars..."

"Don't go too far—"

The emperor lost his patience and said directly: "The one who picks the short end of the stick says."

"Recently, I finally found traces in Yongping Mansion and captured..."

Chu Yu smiled without embarrassment and then spoke excitedly.

What we did just now is just to trace the merits of the first two commanders. After all, there is no merit but hard work.

Although Jinyiwei is divided into factions internally, externally they are united.

It took him less than a year after becoming the commander of the Imperial Guards to achieve such extraordinary achievements.

Chu Yu took two steps closer and a low voice sounded:

"Zhu Da, Zhu Ding, and Zhu Zong, along with dozens of members of his family, have all been locked up and will arrive in the capital tonight..."

Hearing that Chongzhen's three sons were alive and well, Zhu Yixi looked confused and uncertain.

Naturally, the people on the side did not dare to disturb him and could only remain silent.

Liu Afu had huge envy hidden in his eyes. Good guy, what kind of incredible feat is this? He actually got it.

After a while, the emperor recovered and continued to feed Hai Dongqing: "He has been hiding for more than ten years, how did you catch him?"

"A few days ago, a villager reported to the Yongping Mansion Hundred Household Office that he was a thief who stole the imperial mausoleum..."

After listening for a while, the emperor suddenly understood.

It turned out that on the half day of July, after the three families pretended to worship their ancestors, they went to the mountains in the middle of the night to secretly worship an isolated grave.

When the hunter saw it, he felt guilty. Maybe it had something to do with it!

Then he couldn't stop being greedy and picked up the grave.

Now, you can see the jewelry in the coffin.

I took it to a pawn shop and saw that it belonged to a prince in the palace.

Good guy, Orion was so frightened that he didn't even dare to go to the Yamen and went directly to Jinyiwei to report it.

Who doesn’t know that Jinyiwei has great power? Directly to the emperor.

As long as you can have some connections with the emperor, you will surely achieve glory and wealth.

If you go to the Yamen, you will be eaten alive.

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Zuowu returned from Liaodong, he passed by Yongping Mansion and captured it directly.

Just like that, an earth-shattering incident occurred.

Chu Yu looked eagerly, while Luo Zuowu remained calm.

Although it didn't last long, it was very torturous.

"So, I have been in Yongping Mansion for nearly twenty years, and I just saw this?"

The emperor's tone was calm, but even a fool could see the blame in it.

The two of them knelt down helplessly.

It was dark under the lamp, and I searched all over the north before I realized that I had indeed neglected my duty.

But Jin Yiwei was indeed aggrieved.
