Emperor Jing was strolling in the Imperial Garden, with Guo Tianyang following closely behind him.
Although he was busy with official duties, the emperor would occasionally come out to change his mood.
Halfway through the journey, Emperor Jing suddenly said, "I think the time is about right. The Jinyiwei have been making a lot of noise in the capital today, so it's time to test them. I'll send some people to help them practice after a while."
Guo Tianyang raised his head, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes: "How does your majesty decide to test you?"
Emperor Jing said: "Attack the garrison at night, select only 100 households, keep a low profile and do not disturb the people."
"The Imperial Guard is very popular. I didn't expect Fang Qing to discover so many talented people among the people, including a saint. Haha, after the test, I will also find an opportunity to meet this person."
Recalling the reports that have been received recently, due to the good style of the Jinyiwei and their good deeds, the common people are often grateful to the court and always think that the emperor cares about the people.
Emperor Jing felt unexpectedly happy when he was suddenly supported by the people!
But when he saw the timid Guo Tianyang, his brows frowned again. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
"Why haven't we heard of any talented people emerging from the East Factory in all these years?"
Oh no, I’m going to get scolded!
Guo Tianyang's hair stood on end and he thought something was wrong!
He pulled the corner of his mouth and said stiffly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Lord Fang is trying to build momentum."
What the hell, more than a hundred wise men suddenly appeared, and they all came from humble backgrounds. If there is no problem with this, it would be the biggest absurdity in the world!
Emperor Jing snorted coldly, "Humph! Build momentum? You haven't built any momentum in so many years, how come Fang Zhengyi can build it in such a short time?"
"Now that the Jinyiwei are dispatched among the people to crack down on lawlessness, the people are becoming more and more supportive of the court. Even the court officials have greatly changed their impression of Fang Qing. Why didn't the East Factory think of doing the same? Instead, it has a bad reputation among the people!"
"I think you are just incompetent! What excuses are you making?"
Guo Tianyang had a bitter face and fell to his knees: "I...I have failed your majesty's grace! But...but the East Factory is still capable of doing things, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Jing glanced at him and said, "Get up. I don't blame you. It's normal to be inferior to others in some matters. Fang Qing is indeed good at some things, but Jinyiwei is related to military affairs, and it is not something that can be trained overnight. We will know the quality of the new Jinyiwei candidates this time. In the final analysis, it still depends on discipline and military strength. No matter how good the reputation is, it is empty after all. What I want is an army that can win battles."
Guo Tianyang quickly got up and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will test you thoroughly this time and will not show any mercy!"
"There's no need to be so strict. Fang Qing is a civil servant after all."
Guo Tianyang's mouth flattened, and his heart was instantly filled with grievances.
Damn it! He has only been here for a few years, and I have been working here for many years, why are you treating me differently?
This time we must do it well, make him obey, and do it thoroughly!
"Your Majesty, the East Factory has always been short of staff, each with their own duties. If we take out a few dozen people to temporarily test the Hundred Households, it may affect the operation. So, I wonder if I can borrow some people?" Guo Tianyang asked cautiously.
Emperor Jing thought about it and nodded, saying, "Okay, take my order and select some candidates from the Beijing camp to fill the vacancies."
"Oh, by the way, there is a popular thing called Jinyi Satellite Card among the people. Has the East Factory paid attention to it?"
What is this? I seem to have heard of it, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.
At my age, who would be interested in the popular gadgets on the market? It’s not an important thing.
Guo Tianyang began to hum: "This old slave knows... it's the popular cards among the people..."
Seeing that he didn't understand, Emperor Jing snorted and said impatiently: "Alright, go down, you don't know anything!"
"Remember this when you are testing me. Keep a low profile and don't disturb the people."
.....
Guo Tianyang returned to Dongchang in shame.
I'm so angry!
I thought I had found an opportunity to let the East Factory show its face, but in the end I got scolded before I even showed my face!
This raid drill must not go wrong at all.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Guo Tianyang said to the eunuch beside him: "Your Majesty is preparing to conduct a surprise test of the Jinyiwei. The East Factory is short of manpower. You should go to the Fenwu Camp to borrow some elite troops."
The young eunuch was startled and asked hurriedly: "Godfather, how much do you want?"
"About three hundred people will be enough!" Guo Tianyang narrowed his eyes, looking a little melancholy.
Upon hearing so many people, the young eunuch was immediately shocked: "Godfather, are we going to use the Qianhu Division for the drill?"
"No, it's a centurion's office. And we're going to the centurion's office where Meng Weimin is! What a crap hero Meng, people praise him to the sky, almost saying he's the reincarnation of a saint! I don't believe it, I think he's just a straw bag who's been praised up!" Guo Tianyang said indignantly.
"But... three hundred elite soldiers attacking a centurion's office, and it's a surprise attack. This is a bit... Your Majesty will not blame us if he knows about it, right?" The young eunuch said cautiously.
Guo Tianyang sighed and shook his head: "We'll see when the time comes."
"This virtuous brother of ours is no ordinary man. How many people have fallen at his hands? King Wu, Zhang Shi, Yan Guoan...all of them are powerful and influential, so we must never underestimate the enemy! And you haven't seen his men, each of them is fat and strong, and they are shameless in fighting. The thighs of our men are not even as thick as their arms!" Guo Tianyang frowned, "Three hundred elite soldiers sneak attack his centurion, I don't believe anything will go wrong!"
"Your Majesty will be blamed, but our family must not lose! Your father is almost losing face... If we lose again this time, I don't think there is any point in keeping the East Factory."
