Collecting Ping An Silver, that is, protection fees, has become a practice of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei. The commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty was extremely low, and the salary of the Jinyiwei often could not be paid. Even if you get military salary as much as possible every month, in the high-consumption city of Beijing, this little money is not enough to spend, so the Jinyiwei still needs to go out and make money by itself.

Under the wise leadership of Luo Sigong, the cowardly commander of the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei has long been disgraced.

Although Emperor Wanli did not like civil servants, he was particularly annoyed by those censors who talked all day long, as the emperor's eyes, the Jinyiwei colluded with the civil servant group. Of course, all this was attributed to Luo Sigong, the unqualified Jinyiwei commander.

In the late Wanli period, under Luo Sigong's wise leadership, the prison was empty, corrupt officials became more and more prosperous, and the Jinyiwei became more and more cowardly. At this time, the Jinyiwei wanted to arrest an official who was in trouble and needed a cabinet's seal, otherwise the emperor's imperial edict would not be effective.

However, the Jinyiwei cannot raise his head in front of civil servants, which does not mean that they are good at being a good person among the people. The Jinyiwei, who was suppressed by the civil servant group, can only show off in front of the common people. The folks' impression of Jinyiwei is that they are domineering and harming the people, so the people are still very afraid of Jinyiwei.

However, it is obvious that these Jinyiwei were not here to collect Ping An Yin, but to find someone. Jinyiwei came to Huang Degong and Kong Youde's door and knocked politely.

"Those two guys must have committed the matter!"

"No way? It seems that they were going out with an Embroidered Uniform Guard a few days ago."

"I don't know this."

The residents found that the Jinyiwei was not targeting him, so they surrounded him and watched the fun again. The Chinese people had this characteristic. Wherever there was fun, they would gather around to watch it.

The Jinyiwei, who was wearing a red flying fish suit, knocked politely on the door, and Huang Degong inside opened the door.

"You?" Huang Degong asked.

"We are ordered to deliver things to the two brothers." The Baihu said. After saying that, he raised his hand.

The four Jinyiwei from the back walked into the room with trays in their hands.

Inside the tray is filled with blue soldiers' uniforms, red armor, pointed iron helmets, soldiers' black soft hats, embroidered spring swords, waist cards and documents. This is the equipment of the Jinyiwei lieutenant. Unless he is a lieutenant who has made great contributions, ordinary lieutenant is not qualified to wear the flying fish suit. Only the Jinyiwei officer above the general flag can wear the flying fish suit.

Even some movies that are carefully filmed have problems with clothing. Not everyone in the Jinyiwei is qualified to wear a flying fish suit, and a wingless black gauze hat. Only those above the general flag are qualified. The clothing of the Jinyiwei lieutenant is no different from that of the Ming army soldiers, but the color is a bit brighter. However, under the bright colors, many people wear armor that are shoddy and shoddy products.

Huang Degong and Kong Youde changed into the costumes of the Jinyiwei, and then Baihu introduced to the Jinyiwei behind him: "Dear brothers, these two brothers will be brothers of our Jinyiwei in the future!"

"I hope you all will take care of you in the future!" Huang Degong and Kong Youde quickly saluted.

The Baihu said, "Who are you two doing things in the future? It's not decided yet. Xu Qianhu will make arrangements in a few days. Two little brothers, you can have fun in the capital for a few days."

With the identity of the Jinyiwei, it would be much easier for them to enter the imperial city. They wanted to find Zhang Yong and Wei Zhongxian. As long as they entered the imperial city, came to the Forbidden City Gate, and asked the brothers who were guarding the gate to inform them.

"You?" The Jinyiwei who was guarding the door recognized them, and his eyes were almost falling to the ground. "Why are you wearing our Jinyiwei's clothes?"

"Isn't Eunuch Zhang helping?" Huang Degong said with a smile.

The strongman who was guarding the door at the door dared not be negligent, so he hurried in to report.

At this time, Zhang Yongzheng accompanied Huang Changsun to create a water truck model. As Zhu Youxiao's skillful hands flew up and down, a water truck about half a person's height gradually took shape.

"Eunuch Zhang, there are two Jinyiwei outside who want to see you and say they are your good friends." A young eunuch came in to report.

"My master, I am going out for a trip, and a friend is here." Zhang Yong hurriedly asked Zhu Youxiao for leave.

Zhu Youxiao was working hard without raising his head, and said, "Since it is Zhang Xiaoban's friend and Jinyiwei, why just let them enter the palace? Zhang Xiaoban, you are here to accompany me and get the waterwheel ready."

The little eunuch responded, turned around and ran out.

"Two brothers, I'm going to let you two go in and find Eunuch Zhang." The eunuch arrived at the door and shouted at Huang Degong and the others.

The Jinyiwei, who was guarding the door, looked at the two young brothers who had become Jinyiwei with envious and jealous eyes. When Huang Degong and his friends disappeared from the door, a Jinyiwei said, "These two are not simple. When I came to the palace for the second time, I actually let them in."

"Isn't it because of Eunuch Zhang? Now Eunuch Zhang is favored by me?" said another Jinyiwei.

"I will sooner or later be our Great Ming Emperor. In the future, Eunuch Zhang will definitely be our immediate boss. Last time we offended Eunuch Zhang's brother, will we not have good results in the future?"

"Don't worry, Eunuch Zhang has so many things to do, how could he remember this little thing?"

This is right. Zhang Yong could not revenge on the two little strong men for this little thing. That was not what he wanted to do, and these two strong men did not do anything wrong at that time. What Zhang Yong wanted to deal with was a huge civil servant group, and the brothers of the Jinyiwei were all his own people.

The little eunuch brought Huang Degong and Kong Youde to the gate of Chenghua Palace. The little eunuch asked the two to wait at the door and report it himself. After all, taking outsiders into the harem, only one emperor's Changsun did not count, but Xi Li's consent was counted. After all, Zhu Youxiao is not the emperor, but the emperor's eldest grandson, and Xi Li is his adoptive mother. Since the death of the Crown Princess Guo, Zhu Changluo favored Xi Li, and Xi Li has regarded himself as the legitimate mother of the emperor's eldest grandson in his mind.

Since Zhang Yong came to Chenghua Palace to accompany Huang Changsun, he has been observing Xi Li secretly. He found that Xi Li was actually not very smart. In the words of later generations, words such as long hair and short knowledge, and big and brainless breasts are very suitable for this woman.

Xi Li dared to be domineering in the Eastern Palace entirely because of Zhu Changluo's favor and currying favor with Concubine Zheng. Without Concubine Zheng's support, she was nothing.

The ridiculously civil officials of the Ming Dynasty compared Xi Li to Wu Zetian. If Wu Zetian had the same IQ as Xi Li, let alone fighting with Concubine Xiao Shu, the Queen Wang, who had a low IQ, could kill her.

After a while, the little eunuch came out and said, "You two, please come in with our family."

When the two walked into the yard, they saw a rich woman wearing a fan in her hand looking at them with a smile, making them feel uncomfortable.

The little eunuch said, "Why don't you salute Empress Li!"

Huang Degong and Kong Youde knelt down quickly: "I will meet the Empress!"

"Get up, Emperor Changsun is inside, just go in and find them." Xi Li said expressionlessly.

The two walked into the yard and saw Zhang Yong accompanying a half-grown child in a red python robe doing carpentry work. Zhang Yong stood by and pointed at him. The child was sweating profusely. If it weren't for the clothes on the two, he would have really reversed the identity of the master and servant.

The nine thousand-year-old Eunuch Wei was holding a fan in his hand, desperately shaking the fan to the sweaty half-aged child.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao threw away the tool in his hand: "The mission is done!"

Kong Youde glanced at the water truck and found that it was completely different from the ones he had seen before. There were also water trucks in their Tieling mining area, but the water truck was purely used for irrigation, with cylinders on it. However, this water truck had only blades outside the shaft, and there were no extra things. Looking at the shaft of the water truck, the shaft was very long and there was a gear at the end. He couldn't understand what the purpose of this water truck was.
