Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Although Emperor Chongzhen was a mere commander, he still had several reliable confidants around him, such as the chief eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch Bingbi, and the shadow guards left to him by the late emperor.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had almost no memory of the Shadow Guard. Although Zhu Youjian integrated his memory, he did not know the existence of the Shadow Guard. Fortunately, Wang Chengen mentioned it and explained it, and he knew that such a powerful personal guard existed.

The Shadow Guards were created by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the country. He called together the most powerful martial arts masters in the world to form an internal guard to secretly protect the emperor. Because they have been hiding in the dark, almost no one knows their existence, hence the name Shadow Guards.

At its peak, there were as many as a hundred shadow guards, but each generation of the Zhu family was inferior to the previous generation, and the shadow guards also declined. By the time it was passed to Chongzhen's generation, the shadow guards had ceased to exist in name only, with only two and a half disabled old shadow guards left to look after the house.

It was also because they were old, had no children, and did not know what to do for a living, so they did not leave the palace, otherwise they would have run away long ago.

Zhu Shisan, male, fifty-seven years old, looks ordinary, has a disabled left hand, is good at close combat, and uses a half-foot-long dagger.

Zhu Shijiu, female, nearly fifty years old, has a pretty face. She must have been a shy beauty when she was young. Unfortunately, she is blind in one right eye, and the black eye patch makes her a bit more ferocious, which makes her look more ferocious. People are inexplicably afraid of him, he is a master level hidden weapon master.

All Shadow Guards were given national surnames. They had no names and were replaced by numbers. This was both a reward and a secret. Over time, the Shadow Guards also forgot their names.

In this way, two old shadow guards, one Wang Chengen in civilian clothes, and the fake emperor Zhu Youjian in civilian clothes quietly slipped out of the palace and went to West Street to find Tian Boguang.

Because of Tian Wujiu's extraordinary bravery, the Tian family is somewhat famous in the market around West Street. It's easy to inquire about them, and for just ten copper coins, someone will show you the way diligently.

Tian Boguang was leisurely closing his eyes and concentrating in the broken yard. When he saw the four uninvited guests who suddenly broke in, he was startled at first, and then his face changed drastically. He jumped up from the broken chair and bowed respectfully to Zhu Youjian. .

Ah... Your Majesty... Your Majesty...

Tian Boguang is an old Jin Yiwei, and has been the chief flag officer for several years. He often goes on missions. He has seen the faces of Chongzhen and Wang Chengen many times. He recognized them at a glance as the current emperor's sudden arrival, which suddenly woke everyone up.

Fortunately, he had experienced many storms and reacted very quickly. He changed his story in time and did not reveal the emperor's identity.

Let's talk in the room. Zhu Youjian waved his hand, indicating to him that it was a special occasion and there was no need to be polite.

Master, please. Tian Boguang hurriedly took a few steps back and respectfully invited the emperor to enter the room. He suddenly thought of something, and a flush of excitement appeared on his originally pale old face.

He has been retired for many years, but he has been paying attention to the news about Jin Yiwei. The emperor ordered the disbandment of Jin Yiwei. Until now, except for some rogue gangsters who bullied him and was beaten by his youngest son Wujiu, no one has bothered him. His life has been ordinary and poor.

Now the emperor suddenly arrived in casual clothes. If his guess is correct, the emperor must have the intention to restart the Jinyiwei. This means that the opportunity for the Tian family to rise again has come. Can he not be excited?

Although the Jinyiwei is notorious, he is the eagle dog of the Tian family, serving the emperor loyally. No matter what others say, the Tian family has a hereditary Jinyiwei family, and the treatment makes the neighbors jealous. The life after unemployment is miserable, and he still misses it very much. When you are an official, you are full of majesty, and you are envied by your neighbors.

The two daughters-in-law of the Tian family were very sensible. After bringing a bowl of water, they left and hurriedly went out to do errands.

Mr. Tian Qi, where is your master blameless? Zhu Youjian picked up the big bowl, took a sip of water, and then asked with a smile.

The ancients didn't have the habit of boiling water before drinking. They always drank raw water directly. Plus, he was pampered in the palace, so he wouldn't be able to drink it. However, in order to win people's hearts, he still had to pretend when he should.

Wait a moment, Your Majesty, the humble position has been found. Tian Botian hurriedly bowed and replied. He guessed that the Emperor had the idea of ​​​​restarting the Imperial Guard, but he was disabled and could not join the army again. The only hope was his youngest son Tian Wujiu. .

When the two daughters-in-law brought the water and left, he had already given instructions in a low voice, asking them to go and find Tian Wu Jiu immediately, saying that a distinguished guest at home was looking for him.

Who is looking for me?

Tian Wu Jiu's super strong force value made him the big gangster in the West Street area. Today he was teaching a group of gangsters nearby how to use guns and sticks. When his wife and sister-in-law came to find him, he hurriedly went home.

You bastard, you still don't kneel down to pay your respects to the emperor. Tian Boguang was startled and shouted loudly, reminding his son that if you dare to act nonsense in front of the emperor, I will break your legs.
