A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Shenjing Lin Mansion, study room.

"Xiao Yao, a single move in the land of Shenjing can affect the whole body. You weren't originally planning to take action on the Ministry of Household Affairs, but now you are the commander of the five-city army in East City?"

Jia Min was a little confused and asked softly.

In a place like Shenjing where a brick could hit a high-ranking official, not to mention the Commander-in-Chief of the East City of the Five-City Army and Horses Division, even the Commander-in-Chief of the Five-City Army and Horses Division was a urinal.

The Five-City Military and Horse Division is divided into East City, West City, South City, North City, and Middle City. The commander of the East City is a sixth-grade official.

The Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities is responsible for many things, including patrolling thieves, combing the streets, cleaning ditches, detaining prisoners, banning fires, and monitoring the market...

There are five hundred people under the banner, with bronze waist badges, and there are a lot of helpers under these formal establishments.

Of course, these helpers do not receive salaries, but with rights, they can make money in many ways.

Otherwise, why would so many people join in? Isn't it just because of the free money?

The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division specializes in doing dirty work, being flattering to those above and ruthless to those below.

As a result, his image in the eyes of the people is that of a high-ranking official, and the officials do not like him, but feel that he is not worthy of being a dog.

This is the status of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.

Why Jia Min raised this topic was all because of the decree coming from the palace not long ago.

The general meaning is: Lin Ruhai worked hard in the south of the Yangtze River and made great achievements. The Lin family is a family of heroes who share weal and woe with the country. His adopted son should share the worries of the country.

He used this as a reason to let Lin Yao serve as the commander of the five-city army in East City, and the other people who disliked Lin Ruhai did not object.

However, Jia Min understood that this was definitely not the intention of Emperor Qian Qing, but the will of the young man not far away.

At this time, Lin Yao was curiously reading the stories about talented men and beauties written by Dai Yu. When he heard Jia Min's inquiry, he casually replied:

"The arrangements are not enough now, and I am idle anyway. Based on this position, it is meaningful to clean up the shameful activities of some noble families in Shenjing."

Seeing Lin Yao's casual look, Jia Min felt a little helpless. Daiyu, who was eavesdropping at the side, seemed to have thought of something and quickly patted Lin Yao's shoulder and said with some confusion.

"Brother Lin Yao, this official seems to be unable to do anything, and he is often scolded by others.

The woman who went out to buy groceries a few days ago was still cursing when she came back, saying that the Wucheng Bingma Division were all evil-hearted villains.

When the time comes, brother Lin Yao, will you be secretly scolded by the people of Shenjing? "

Lin Yao twitched the corner of his mouth and saw Daiyu beside him, who seemed to be sharing his worries, but in fact she was laughing at him quietly.

"If you let me be naughty, I will promote you to be the deputy commander of the Dongcheng Military and Horse Department, so that you can go out and be tyrannical."

So Lin Yao raised his hand and knocked Daiyu's head angrily, and heard her cry out in pain.

"Oh, brother Lin Yao."

Seeing Dai Yu's glaring eyes, Lin Yao ignored her objections and then rubbed her little head with his palms, which made him feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

Then he looked at Jia Min and explained:

"This official title seems to be very small, but in fact, all previous chief officials did not dare to offend others and deceived others.

But it’s different if it’s me. No one can stop me from doing anything, and I will be able to accomplish great things. Moreover, this official is inconspicuous and can give a "big surprise" to those powerful families who look down upon him and still act recklessly.

At the same time, only in this way can we start from the details and truly understand the life at the bottom..."

As he was talking, Lin Yao found that his hand was torn off by Daiyu's two small hands and was pinching it hard.

But after pinching, Dai Yu was afraid of hurting Lin Yao, so she pinched gently again, as if she was massaging the hand that was messing up her hair.

Jia Min looked at the playful behavior between the two, a chuckle appeared on her lips, and she shook her head helplessly.

Listening to Lin Yao's analysis, Jia Min looked thoughtful. After a moment, she nodded and said:

"The same is true. Even the emperor cannot act arbitrarily. You are still young and have not yet been crowned. As a humble and powerful commander of the five-city army in East City, there is almost no objection.

This is also all due to your previous commanders. They did not seek merit, but sought innocence. They were accustomed to being indifferent. The people of the Five Cities Army and Horses Department nodded and bowed when they met the servants of the powerful and wealthy families. How could they still do good things?

If you are allowed to be an official with real power, unless the Emperor Qiangang is arbitrary and ignores the opposition of everyone in the court, the price is too expensive and too unreasonable. "

"I think so too. Now that I'm cooperating with my father, I shouldn't be too unscrupulous."

Lin Yao nodded and said.

Seeing how measured Lin Yao was in doing things, Jia Min smiled and said:

"You kid, you know that you have to be more cautious when the critical moment comes. It's a good thing that you find an official position with a bad reputation but some real power.

After all, you have been in a high position for too long and do not understand the real needs of the bottom. I know that you have big goals, but you need determination and ability to implement them.

A slight difference can lead to a loss of a thousand miles. If something goes wrong, even if the intention is good, things will go wrong, which may not be a blessing. "

Hearing this, Lin Yao chuckled and said: "Actually, I didn't think so much. I just know that in the world, no matter how powerful a person is, if he does not have the prestige to overwhelm the world, he has to consider a lot of things.

What's more, most of the residences of officials in the DPRK are in Dongcheng, and there are also some dishonest clans who rely on the remaining power of the Supreme Emperor to act uncleanly. "

Because the Supreme Emperor is here, and at the same time, this Supreme Emperor is not the Tang Ming Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he still holds some military power.

As a result, the power in Emperor Qianqing's hands was always incomplete, and he was forced to endure it for many years. Now he fell into Lin Yao's tricks, but it also meant that he no longer had to endure it...

"The clan? A commander of the Military and Horse Division, I'm afraid the people under him are not of much use, right?"

Jia Min was a little confused.

A smile appeared on Lin Yao's lips, and he said: "As long as there is a name, when the time comes, the secret guards will be inserted into it to integrate the underground forces in Shenjing.

In this way, unless we use a large army, more than 30,000 people under the nine admirals, or the guards and soldiers in the imperial city, our Daiyu has the final say in Shenjing. "

When Daiyu heard the mention of herself, her interested face showed a trace of confusion, but for a moment she thought that her brother was making fun of her, blushed with embarrassment, and said:

"Obviously you like to be domineering, but you blame me all the time. Be careful when you go out and get thrown rotten eggs."

Jia Min chuckled, looked at the lovely Daiyu and said: "Throwing rotten eggs is not a problem. The Wucheng Military and Horse Division has 2,500 soldiers and horses. If it is really frightened, it will be in Shenjing City." A force to be reckoned with.”

Lin Yao nodded with a smile and said: "That's true. I'll go take a look tomorrow to get a better understanding of what Daqi really looks like under its prosperity.

Seeing him like this, Jia Min nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go and rest early."

"clear."
