Chapter 30: Bringing weapons before the emperor

The Jin Yiwei are not only responsible for guarding the Northern and Southern Fusi, but also responsible for monitoring the world. They are also responsible for guarding the inner circle, which is the general of the Han Dynasty.

This part of the army is called the Imperial Guard and is also part of the Jinyiwei. Of course, generally speaking, it is separate from the Jinyiwei.

Whenever the emperor attended any occasion, the generals of the Han Dynasty were there to lead the way.

As the emperor, Zhu Qizhen naturally had guards around him.

However, now that the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Ma Shun, is Wang Zhen's people, there is no need to expect to be in the Qing Palace.

The Empress Dowager not only approved Zhu Qizhen and listed Shi Jing as a guard of the Qianqing Dynasty, but also specially approved a group of guards based on the Song Dynasty system. They were called imperial guards.

Some people may not be familiar with this official name. But Zhan Zhao wears this official name. He is also the so-called Ouchi master.

The Empress Dowager ordered Zhang Fu to select each of his noble families to enter the palace to protect His Majesty.

In this way, not only did Zhu Qizhen find a group of people whom Wang Zhennai could not do anything about, but it also brought the relationship between the nobles and the emperor closer.

Kill two birds with one stone.

No matter what the Ming Dynasty will look like in the future, at least in the Ming Dynasty today, honorable nobles are a force that cannot be ignored.

No one can deny this.

But as a result, British Duke Zhang Fu became very busy.

Although these so-called imperial weapons are just a bodyguard. However, this bodyguard is to protect His Majesty. The second son, or concubine, who cannot inherit the title of the family, will become a familiar face next to the emperor.

Maybe there will be a good future in the future.

But the number of guards in Qianqing Palace will not be too many.

At most, there are more than a hundred people. After all, we don't expect them to do anything, they are just the emperor's personal bodyguards.

There are more than a hundred people, which seems to be a lot, but the founders of the Ming Dynasty, the Jingnan nobles, and the relatives of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many families there are.

Who doesn't want to take a walk.

These people have all found Zhang Fu.

As the leader of the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Fu was actually a very conscientious person. Otherwise, he would not be what he is today, and he was not very close to all parties.

Now everyone came to him, making him tired of socializing.

After finally getting rid of everyone, I returned to the back tiredly.

Mrs. Li came over and sent away all the maids who were waiting around her, saying, "Master, can't we just see these people?"

Zhang Fu closed his eyes and said: "No one can be offended, and at least a few real masters should be arranged around His Majesty. Others don't know what the children of these families are like, don't I know? Send them over, Are you asking them to protect His Majesty, but asking Your Majesty to protect them?"

"It's okay if you don't have good skills. Your Majesty really can't use force anyway, but you won't be able to do it without brains. Being an errand by your Majesty's side is certainly a great opportunity, but if you don't do anything wrong, it will be a catastrophe that will destroy your family."

"Can I not worry about it?"

Mrs. Li said: "Okay, sir, go to bed early. We have an early morning meeting tomorrow."

Zhang Fun made a sound, was silent for a while, and said: "You also ask Zhong'er to get ready, I will sign up for him."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li slowed down her movements and said, "Master, how can Zhong'er endure this kind of job?"

Zhang Fu sighed softly and said: "I have no choice. I, Zhang Fu, am the head of the noble family. If I don't send any of my children to carry out such an errand, what will the Empress Dowager think?"

"In my British lineage, there must be someone."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she burst into tears and said, "I am in poor health. The Zhang family is tired and has few heirs. Only the loyal son is the only one. My mother brought the disease in her womb. I -----"

Zhang Fu sighed and said: "Three generations of generals are taboo for military strategists. My ancestor was a general of the Yuan Dynasty, who went from Longbei Expedition, and my father was Taizong's right-hand man. He was not involved in the battle. In my generation, it has been three generations. The killings are serious.

It's your problem, but it's my Zhang Fu's life."

Every family has its cupboard.

Don't worry about the British Duke being the first among the nobles.

Seeing that Zhang Fu was getting old, he only had one son, Zhang Zhong, who was very sick. He didn't know if he would survive. If not, he would adopt another son as his heir.

Faced with such a situation, even if Zhang Fu was a hero, he would be powerless.

What could Mrs. Li do? She could only sigh.

Zhang Fu said: "Don't worry, I just want Zhong'er to meet the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty. I think the Empress Dowager will not force anyone to do anything. She only needs to have a name in the palace."

"I still have this little bit of face."

Li said: "I hope so."

The next day, after Zhang Fu went to court, Li came to Zhang Zhong's room.

As the son of Zhang Fu, Zhang Zhong was not ugly when he was growing up, and it seems that because he was sick since childhood, he almost never stopped taking medicine all year round. He has a feeling of frailty in his body shape. His face is as white as a woman, but he is not tired all year round.

Why can't I see the sun?

It's just that although Zhang Zhong's face is fair, there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and there is no sign of weakness in a woman. Everyone who sees it feels pity for Young Master Zhang's body.

It was as if his body could not bind his soul.

Zhang Zhong and Li were sitting opposite each other. When the wind blew gently, their whole bodies seemed to fly.

Li felt distressed and said, "My son and mother, there is nothing we can do about this. Fortunately, we only need to go there a few times."

Zhang Zhong said: "Mom, don't be sad. As a child of the Zhang family, the child will always make some contributions to the family. The child naturally knows how to do this. Please rest assured, mother. Although the child is weak, he will not have to be supported when going out.

All you need to do is show your face in front of His Majesty. The kid can still do it."

"There's just one thing that requires my mother to think more about. It's time to take a concubine for my father."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li said: "Don't mention this matter again, your father will not agree to it."

Zhang Fu and his wife have a very good relationship, but this does not mean that Zhang Fu does not have concubines. It is not that Li is not jealous, but in this era, such a mistress cannot stop her.

But Li knew that the concubine Zhang Zhong mentioned was not just one or two, but a wide range of wives and concubines, seeking children.

As Li is getting older, it is already difficult to conceive. Moreover, Zhang Fu seems to have some physical problems. It cannot be said that she cannot have children, but the chance is not high.

Otherwise, over the years, Zhang Zhong has been the only one.

It’s really Zhang Fu who doesn’t want children.

Zhang Zhong had long proposed to let Zhang Fu have more concubines, but Zhang Fu rejected it.

Zhang Fu grew up from a young age. After his father Zhang Yu died in the war, he supported the Zhang family and promoted it. It cannot be said that he was not good at lust, but at least he did not put much effort into beauty, and he had a good relationship with his wife.

I am determined not to ruin my reputation as I get older.

Zhang Zhong said: "Mother, I know my child's body and bones. If I am lucky enough to live a few more years, it is because of God's mercy. I will definitely go before my parents in the future. It doesn't matter if I die, but the empty space under my parents' knees is mine.

It's extremely unfilial. I'm more worried about you than my father. My father was wise all his life. Even if he adopted one from his second uncle and his third uncle, he wouldn't dare to make any mistakes when my father was alive. But once he passes away,

Mother, what should you do?"

"It would be better for me to let my father take concubines and give birth to a boy and a girl. No matter what, you are my legitimate mother. You raised me from a young age, which is enough to make my mother stable for the rest of her life, and the child can die in peace."

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Li said, "If you are no longer here, my mother will no longer be alive."

Zhang Zhong said: "Okay, since mother doesn't want to, I will immediately find some maids from the house to show my face."

"You don't want your life." Mrs. Li said, "The imperial doctor has long said that you have a disease that makes you unattractive to women. Okay, I agree."

Zhang Zhong was relieved.

Zhang Zhong had arranged this matter, and his heart was half relieved. With the family affairs in order, Zhang Zhong's mind was on another matter.

That is fame.

It's not that Zhang Zhong longs for glory and wealth. As the legitimate son of a British prince, he has never enjoyed any kind of wealth. What he longs for is to be able to do something in his career.

It is because he can feel the approach of death with every breath that he is so eager to make a difference in the world. He had no chance before, but now as a close minister of His Majesty, he may be able to make some achievements.
