The first ones to be replaced were the hundred guards guarding the main entrance of the imperial city and the Meridian Gate day and night.

Under Li Mu's order, some of the remaining [-] Jinyi Guards, Yingwei, were replaced with the Jinyi Guards who were responsible for guarding the Chaohui Fengtian Hall.

It wasn't until Li Mu replaced all the Jinyiwei who were in charge of guarding the imperial city and the palace with the Yingwei, who was directly under him, that Li Mu extended his tentacles to the other guards.

In two months, Li Mu, with the cooperation of Wei Zhongxian, gradually replaced the other guards of the guards.

A total of 5000 people went to Jinyiwei Yingwei.

The reason was that Wei Zhongxian asked the imperial guards to leave the imperial city and guard the gates of the capital instead.

Replace all the guarding duties of the imperial city with brocade guards to guard.

Of course, there were also doubts about it, but with Zhu Youxiao's holy decree, the other commanders of the guards did not dare to go to the emperor for confirmation.

He had no choice but to hand over the guarding duties of the imperial city and replace them with Jinyiwei, that is, Li Mu's Jinyiwei Yingwei.

Of course, Li Mu didn't control and deploy the entire imperial city all at once, but gradually eroded the authority of other guards over the course of two months.

In the past two months, Li Mu has completely gained control of the imperial city, and the employees of Jin Yiwei from all over the Ming Dynasty have also arrived in the capital.

Not many, more than 2000 people. After all, many Jinyiwei spies have missions and cannot reveal their identities to lead them to the Jinyiwei capital headquarters.

However, there were also some people who failed to arrive after the deadline, and they found many reasons when they arrived.

When Li Mu was in front of the Jinyiwei who came from all over the place, he beheaded the Jinyiwei who violated his orders for various reasons.

Let those Jinyiwei personnel who have never met Li Mu, imprint the commander-in-chief in their hearts, and firmly remember that his orders are not child's play.

Among the Jinyiwei personnel who were beheaded, there are many middle-level officials of the Jinyiwei who are deputy thousand and hundred households.

Among them was a Qianhu, who was not spared either.

Seeing that even Li Mu from thousands of households could be killed without fail, these Jinyiwei personnel who came to Beijing couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.

See the power to stand up.

Li Mu handed over the task of training the Jinyiwei to the Eagle Guard, who he personally supervised, to be responsible for the daily training of the Jinyiwei.

In addition, Li Mu also ordered Jinyiwei's intelligence system to start spreading spies to the first generation of Shanhaiguan and the Shanxi area to obtain the desired information for Li Mu.

To be on the safe side, Li Mu also asked Wei Zhongxian to order the fans from the East Factory to assist.

After all, in the past seven years, Jinyiwei has been repeatedly suppressed by the East Factory in charge of Wei Zhongxian, and the intelligence capabilities of its personnel have shrunk.

In terms of current capabilities, Dongchang is many times more powerful than Jinyiwei. After all, the Ming Dynasty had eunuchs controlling some important positions no matter in the army or in various places.

It is also much easier to obtain information.

All the arrangements are being carried out in an orderly manner, and Wei Zhongxian will go to the Commander of Jinyiwei to report to Li Mu about the activities of the Zhu family.

Especially the focus of attention, Zhu Youxiao's brother Xin Wang.

However, apart from being busy with Jin Yiwei's affairs, Li Mu would also put his feelings aside, and occasionally go back to the Jiaotai Hall of the Imperial Palace to enhance their mutual relationship with the beauty queen.

As the entire imperial city and palace were replaced by brocade guards and eagle guards, Li Mu no longer had to avoid suspicion when he entered the harem of the palace.

It's just that no matter how impenetrable the wall is, there will still be a few words flowing out of the palace, which will be circulated among the common people in the market. After a long time, the ministers will also hear some gossip.

Fortunately, the entire imperial court was under Wei Zhongxian's strict control, and the ministers didn't care about it at all. This is a romantic affair passed down from the harem.

Instead, they live in fear every day, some of them think about how to curry favor with Nine Thousand Years in order to obtain greater official positions, and those officials who consider themselves clean, think about how to fight against Wei Zhongxian in the court.

However, the leak of rumors also made Li Mu vigilant. For the sake of the beauty queen's reputation, he was about to clean up the eunuchs and maids in the palace.

But let people take the lead.

As a loyal dog, Wei Zhongxian has a heart to relieve the Lord's worries. After hearing the rumors about Li Mu and the queen, he killed those court ladies and eunuchs who couldn't control their tongues.

And in front of all the eunuchs and maids, he was shot to death with a stick.

After killing those eunuchs and maids with sticks, Wei Zhongxian warned the eunuchs and maids in the palace to keep their tongues under control and not talk nonsense.

Wei Zhongxian's method was very effective, and no one dared to chew on the roots of his ears again.

Over time, Li Mu, who often went in and out of the palace, seemed to be half the master of the harem.

Let these eunuchs and maids walking around the palace gradually become accustomed to it, and no longer have any thoughts of nonsense.

.....

Time always flies by quickly, since Li Mu took over as the commander of Jin Yiwei, more than three months have passed in such a hurry.

At this time, Li Mu was in command of Jinyiwei, checking the information sent from Shanhaiguan and Shanxi.

The more I look at Li Mu, the more frightened I am. During the period of Wei Zhongxian's dictatorship in Liaodong, although there was a lot of corruption in military affairs, there was still salvation.

However, the culprit located in the territory of Ming Dynasty has reached the point of dying, and it is necessary to use strong medicine to see the effect of the medicine.

Pause for a moment about the imminent collapse of Daming.

The reason why he used the word "suspension" is because Li Mu knew that natural disasters continued during the reign of Chongzhen, accompanied by plagues and man-made disasters.

It's hard to say, without the existence of Li Mu, whether the history of Daming would have been restored to heaven.

In particular, natural disasters are not terrible, but man-made disasters are the most terrible. For Li Mu, eunuch dictatorship has advantages and disadvantages, and the power of eunuchs comes from the emperor.

As for the eunuchs of Ming Dynasty, they can be said to be the most upright and ambitious group of eunuchs in all dynasties. Although there are some people who live in trouble among them, most of them are the most loyal guards of the royal family.

According to historical records, the last guardian of the Ming Dynasty was not a general, nor a scholar who shouted loyalty and patriotism all day long.

It was the group of spurned rootless eunuchs who accompanied the Ming emperor to do it. The emperor guarded the gate of the country, and the king died in the country.

This is a dynasty with backbones from kings to eunuchs, except that there are no scholars.

Judging from the information sent by Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty controlled by the Donglin Party are gradually encroaching on the entire country.

It won't take long for the entire Ming Dynasty to be riddled with thousands of holes like termites bursting a bank by the merchants behind the Donglin Party.

At that time, with just a slight push from outside force, the entire seemingly powerful and prosperous Daming would collapse in an instant.

Putting down the information in his hands, Li Mu couldn't help rubbing his temples. Saving Daming is simply a thankless task, and it's not as fun and chic as being a happy time-space smuggler in the narrow sense.

Why bother wading in this muddy water?

After much deliberation, Li Mu finally found a reason to convince himself that Daming was the last feudal dynasty of the Central Plains nation.

Thinking of the hundreds of years after the Jurchen entered the customs, the Central Plains nation will always be in a backward era.
