Chapter 151 Gao Changsheng is crazy?
Yanjing City, the western area of the inner city center.
As the center of the Ming Dynasty Imperial City, this is of course the most prosperous and core area.
The building that can be located here is definitely not ordinary.
Like here.
A building covering a very large area actually directly occupies most of the area here.
The wide door was completely open, like a gaping bloody mouth, which made people tremble unconsciously.
As the central area, the road in front of this building is also one of the main roads.
But what was strange was that there was no one on the road.
It is in stark contrast to several other streets not far away.
However, anyone who is slightly familiar with the capital will not be surprised by this situation.
Because the people who work here can scare most people just by mentioning their names.
Jinyiwei.
Yes, this is the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty’s Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Although in recent years, with the rise of Cao Zhengchun and Dongchang.
The Jinyiwei's popularity has been gradually suppressed and they are no longer as prosperous as they once were.
But just mentioning the Feiyu costume and the Xiuchun sword can still make many people tremble with fear.
Especially the famous Zhaoyu, which was stained with blood.
So it is understandable that there are no pedestrians passing by on this street.
For many people in Beijing, this place is not much different from the legendary forbidden area.
Most people would rather take a longer detour than choose to pass through here.
Among all the departments in the entire capital, the headquarters of the Jinyiwei is the quietest and most deserted.
No one would like to deal with these ferocious butchers, let alone customers.
But today, this situation seems to have changed.
It seems that the famous Jinyiwei Command Headquarters has guests.
A terrifying aura swirled above the building.
The rolling wind and clouds rolled downwards like a whirlpool.
From a distance, it looked as if a giant stretched out his right hand and directly held down the entire Jinyiwei below.
"Om."
A faint sound suddenly exploded in the sky.
At the moment the sound appeared.
In the Ming Dynasty Palace, a young man wearing a dragon robe suddenly raised his head.
"This tall general is really rude."
A voice sounded from the side.
But Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a dragon robe, did not show any sign of anger. Instead, he laughed loudly and said, "Haha, good, this Gao Changsheng is really to my taste. What a pity, what a pity, it would be better if he was from the Ming Dynasty."
"By the way, Lu Bing, why are you here instead of staying in the Jinyiwei?" Zhu Houzhao turned around and asked the person next to him.
"His Majesty."
Hearing this, Lu Bing's face instantly showed a bitter look.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Why, you, Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, are you afraid?"
Lu Bing's mouth twitched. "Gao Changsheng has His Majesty's token. I dare not stop him. And judging from his attitude, Gao Changsheng is obviously not a timid person."
"To be honest, I really can't afford to offend you. I still want to remain useful to help your majesty, but I don't want to fall under Gao Changsheng's knife and become a tool for him to establish his authority."
"Hahaha."
Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly: "Forget it, forget it, you are the commander of the Jinyiwei after all, it is really inappropriate to ask you to obey orders like a soldier."
"There are several people like Qinglong in the Jinyiwei, I think they are enough for Gao Changsheng to use. One more person like you won't make much difference. For the next few days, you will just serve by my side."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao ignored it and turned to look to the other side.
"What do you think, Mr. Yangming?"
Hearing this, Lu Bing instantly became solemn, and stood behind Zhu Houzhao like a pine or cypress, without making another sound.
And next to Zhu Houzhao, there sat a man in Confucian clothes with a very unique temperament.
Wang Yangming.
In recent times, he has been a person that has attracted attention from many countries.
He is also a new generation of Confucian saint who has achieved immortality by accomplishing great deeds, doing good deeds and making great statements.
At this moment, most of the people gathered in the capital came for this Heart Saint.
According to everyone's information, Wang Yangming was being picked up by Cao Zhengchun of the Eastern Factory and a large group of people, and had not yet arrived in the capital.
No one thought that Mr. Yangming, who was the focus of everyone's attention, had already been in the palace without anyone noticing.
“Excellent indeed.”
"He practices both military and martial arts, and each of his skills are very solid. Even I can only get a rough idea of his strength. His specific strength and trump cards may only be known by him. Such a person can only be described as stunning."
A sound as soothing and peaceful as clear water slowly sounded.
"If Gao Changsheng knew Wang Sheng's evaluation, he would be surprised." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you are exaggerating. Shouren is just an ordinary scholar and is not worthy of your Majesty's title of saint." Wang Yangming bowed.
"Mr. Yangming is being modest."
Zhu Houzhao also slowly put away his teasing expression.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now that Mr. Yangming has arrived. I'll have to trouble you in the future." Zhu Houzhao bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, you cannot."
"Shouren is my minister and Your Majesty is my ruler. As long as Your Majesty can use me, I will not refuse."
"it is good."
Zhu Houzhao laughed and stood up:
"At that time, Taizu was accompanied by many famous generals such as the Prince of Kaiping and the Prince of Zhongshan, and was assisted by the Earl of Chengyi. Taizong was accompanied by Master Daoyan."
"Now that I have Shouren, haha, I am no less powerful than my ancestors."
Wang Shouren bowed repeatedly upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty, your words are too serious. Shouren cannot bear the responsibility."
"Shouren is just an ordinary scholar. How can he be compared with the famous ministers around Taizu and Taizong?"
"What's more, the Ming Dynasty has been passed down for so many years and has a profound foundation. Shouren can only do a small part at best."
"Humph!"
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but snort coldly.
"If those old guys could be commanded, how could the situation be like this today?"
"All they care about is the Ming Dynasty. As long as the emperor is still a Zhu, they won't make any moves."
"Why are those princes in the country and my uncles so restless and fearless? It's simply because they see this."
Wang Shouren did not say anything. It was not appropriate for him to interrupt matters involving royal secrets.
And Zhu Houzhao didn't care.
"Let them be. I would rather not have power that is not completely under my control."
"Civil officials, military generals, the court, the army, and even the martial arts world, facing the complex situation, I was indeed unable to cope with it."
"But now that Shouren has returned, I have the confidence to take action and overturn the table."
After saying this, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes and looked at Wang Yangming with burning eyes.
"I will do my best."
"Okay, you and I, the king and the minister, will work together to create a prosperous era and re-establish the power of Wu Ming."
And it was in the imperial palace that Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yangming, the emperor and his minister, were getting along.
An exchange was also taking place inside the Jinyiwei Command Post.
However, compared with the palace, this exchange was obviously not so harmonious.
in the hall.
A young man was sitting in the main seat with a majestic look.
There is no doubt that it was Gao Changsheng.
Below him, in the hall, four men were kneeling side by side on one knee.
All four of them were wearing special flying fish armor.
If there were people from the Ming Dynasty here, they would definitely be able to recognize the four people at first sight.
Green Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu.
These are the giants of the Jinyiwei who are second only to the commander Lu Bing, and they are also some of the most capable fighters in the Jinyiwei today.
To be honest, with the current power of the Eastern Depot, if it weren't for the support of these few people, the Jinyiwei would have probably fallen completely.
And now, the four famous Jinyiwei envoys were actually kneeling on one knee in front of Gao Changsheng.
This was definitely enough to shock everyone, especially Qinglong.
You have to know that among the Jinyiwei, even Lu Bing was only half a level higher than Qinglong, and when they met normally they would just bow slightly at most.
Apart from Zhu Houzhao in the palace, there was really no one else who could make these people perform such a great ceremony.
Of course, if someone takes a closer look, they will immediately notice that several people are kneeling on one knee.
But their faces all showed a look of gritting their teeth. The four envoys of the Imperial Guard were well-known throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Because they are the face of the Jinyiwei today and they also support the reputation of the Jinyiwei.
Especially the eldest brother Qinglong among the four, who is known to be tough.
Even when facing the increasingly arrogant Cao Zhengchun of the East Factory, and the highly respected and royal Zhu Wusi, he never bowed his head once.
Many people have commented that if the Jinyiwei had lost Qinglong and several others, they would have probably become a subordinate organization of the Dongchang, or even a running dog.
And it was precisely because of this style that Qinglong was highly appreciated by Zhu Houzhao, who personally bestowed the Fourteen Postures of the Ming Dynasty, which were secretly stored in the imperial palace, to be used as weapons, which also became the symbol of the Qinglong of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
And now, this tough guy who supported the Jinyiwei, together with his three brothers, all knelt down in front of Gao Changsheng.
This picture is definitely enough to shock anyone.
If you see it for the first time, it is definitely a picture of harmony between master and servant.
The four envoys of the Imperial Guard bowed down directly to Gao Changsheng.
But if you think about it for a moment, you'll know that this is definitely not the case.
Even if Gao Changsheng really exudes the aura of a king.
But Qinglong and his companions are not ordinary characters, let’s not talk about their strength for now.
Every Jinyiwei has emerged from one brutal battle after another, especially those who have reached the position of Qinglong and others. It is no exaggeration to describe the roads they have walked on as mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Therefore, the mental fortitude of these people is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It is absolutely impossible to make them recognize you as your master or even bow down to you after just one meeting.
In fact, anyone who knows a little about martial arts can feel that at this moment in the hall, an indescribable amount of true energy is surrounding the heads of several people.
It was like a piece of sky, pressing directly down on Qinglong and others.
"Gao Changsheng, what do you want to do? Break into my Jinyiwei? And you dare to attack me directly. Do you want to be the enemy of my Ming Dynasty?" Zhuque, one of the four, roared to the sky.
Of course, Gao Changsheng actually didn't take any action from beginning to end. He just revealed his aura and suppressed several people directly.
But it was obviously impossible for Suzaku to state this fact directly.
Moreover, Gao Changsheng's approach is no different from taking direct action.
"General Gao, the Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army, representing His Majesty's face. Even if you are the Duke of Qi of the Great Sui Dynasty and a distinguished guest of the court, provoking him here is tantamount to declaring war."
"If there is any misunderstanding, please withdraw your true energy and explain it to me in detail. If you still refuse to change your mind, you will be the one who suffers in the end. The Ming Dynasty will never allow anyone to provoke you."
The Azure Dragon in the middle spoke. Although he was forced to his knees, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and his arguments were firm and logical.
While he was speaking, the Fourteen Postures of the Ming Dynasty, which were performed on his back, also made a buzzing sound.
Seeing this, Gao Changsheng also showed admiration.
Qinglong's strength is only at the Grandmaster level.
But the continuous sound of the Fourteen Forces of the Ming Dynasty at this time undoubtedly represented that the opponent still had the strength to resist desperately.
A master, facing the pressure from Gao Changsheng, still has such a performance, which is enough to prove his excellence.
No wonder, facing such a complicated situation in the Ming Dynasty, Qinglong and others were still able to support the Jinyiwei.
"hehe."
Gao Changsheng raised his eyes and chuckled.
"Gao Changsheng, what do you mean?"
Suzaku roared again.
As the face of the Jinyiwei, even the leaders of major forces like Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wusi would treat them with courtesy when they met them. They had never suffered such injustice.
The Fourteen Postures of the Ming Dynasty behind Qinglong were shaking more and more violently.
There was also murderous aura emerging from the white tiger.
It is obvious that the two people who are at the top in strength are ready to fight to the death.
Gao Changsheng smiled lightly.
Then he raised his right hand slightly, and a token slowly floated into the sky.
Gao Changsheng was not afraid of a fight between several people. Even if a few masters risked their lives, they could not hurt him at all.
But he didn't come here to kill people this time.
"The token of the Royal Guards' Mansion, impossible, Gao Changsheng, how dare you?" Zhuque roared.
The Imperial Guard Commandery was the predecessor of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which was later reorganized into the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
However, the token of the Imperial Guard Commandery has always been preserved and is in the hands of emperors of all dynasties. It is also a token of command for the entire Jinyiwei.
At least for the Embroidered Uniform Guards, meeting the order is like meeting the emperor.
And now, this token appeared in Gao Changsheng's hands.
It is normal for several people to have such reactions.
"General Gao, where did you get this token? Please explain in detail." Qinglong said in a deep voice.
After all, Qinglong is the eldest brother of several people. Although Lu Bing is the commander-in-chief, in fact, many things within the Jinyiwei are decided by him.
Naturally, he couldn't be as simple-minded as the others.
The Jinyiwei has always been known as the emperor's personal army, and this token has always been in the hands of emperors of all dynasties.
Although Gao Changsheng is famous and powerful, it is absolutely impossible for him to snatch the token from His Majesty in the palace single-handedly.
If it was stolen, how could Gao Changsheng take out the token so openly?
In other words, although this token has great symbolic significance, it may not mean much if it falls into the hands of other people.
Can any random person who gets the token command the Jinyiwei? That is definitely impossible. The top leaders of the Jinyiwei are not fools.
Excluding these possibilities, Qinglong actually already had a guess in his mind, but he just didn't dare to believe it.
When the other people heard Qinglong's voice, they vaguely understood something and looks of disbelief appeared on their faces.
"hehe."
Gao Changsheng slowly stood up and chuckled again.
"I don't care whether you believe it or not."
"You can go to verify or investigate, it's up to you."
Having said this, Gao Changsheng paused slightly.
The next second, the pressure in the air suddenly surged.
The Azure Dragon and White Tiger, which had been able to make some noises, suddenly fell into silence.
The murderous aura on White Tiger and the weapon box on Azure Dragon all disappeared.
The four people who were originally kneeling on one knee all shook their bodies, fell to their knees in unison, and lay on the ground.
"I have only one purpose for coming here this time."
"I don't care what happened in the past, but from now on, the world of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei has changed."
"hehe."
Having said that, Gao Changsheng chuckled again.
"Of course, I am not from the Ming Dynasty, nor am I your commander."
"I do not demand your allegiance."
"At other times, you can do whatever you want and kill whomever you want. I will not care."
"But there is one thing. When I am here, the entire Jinyiwei can only have one voice."
"As for things, I only look at the results, not the process."
"understand?"
As the voice fell, the already terrible pressure increased again.
At this time, even the strongest Qinglong could not bear it anymore. He fell to the ground, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"Qing...Qinglong understands. I will follow your orders."
At this point, how could Qinglong not understand the situation? He spoke immediately.
After hearing Qinglong's voice, the other three also spoke up:
"I will obey your orders, sir."
"very good."
Gao Changsheng smiled and nodded, and the next moment, the pressure in the hall suddenly dissipated.
And just when Gao Changsheng completely subdued the Jinyiwei.
Some forces that were paying attention to the Jinyiwei also received the news first.
"What? Gao Changsheng controls the Jinyiwei? How is that possible? Is Zhu Houzhao crazy? Or is Gao Changsheng crazy?"
In the Hulong Villa, Zhu Wusi roared in disbelief.
Not to mention him, no one else would believe such a thing.
The Jinyiwei were the emperor's personal army and an important force in Zhu Houzhao's hands. How could he hand them over easily?
Even if Zhu Houzhao was willing to hand him over, who was Gao Changsheng? He was a member of the Sui Dynasty.
"Gao Changsheng, is he so sure that the Emperor of Sui would not suspect him? Serving as the head of an intelligence organization in another country, this alone is enough to make him a traitor."
"Is Gao Changsheng so confident? Or..."
Zhu Wushi looked gloomy.
Compared to these, he cares more about what this matter represents.
The fact that Zhu Houzhao handed over the Jinyiwei meant that he must have had quite in-depth communication with Gao Changsheng, and might even have reached close cooperation.
And these are obviously extremely disadvantageous to him, Zhu Wusi.
ps. Damn, I drank too much and forgot to post it.
