A gathering of hundreds of thousands of people, especially in such a frenzy, is not easy to deal with.

"Boss, what should we do? Even if we mobilize all the Jinyiwei, it will be useless."

Song Zhong said to Jiang Li helplessly.

Behind them were hundreds of Jinyiwei.

However, this did not help.

Even if the people saw him and he wanted to hide, there was no place for him to hide.

On the street, the crowds were so dense that they had formed a human wall, and they couldn't just disperse.

"Have you already notified Uncle Zhang?"

Jiang Li asked in a deep voice, he also felt the situation was difficult.

Now the Jinyiwei has started the evacuation, but the effect is not good.

No common people were willing to go home obediently, especially the many women, which made it difficult for the Jinyiwei to take action.

Men and women should not touch each other, this is not a joke.

If you really do anything to a woman in broad daylight and in public, you might really be trampled to death by the rioting people.

If unrest were to occur in the capital, even Jiang Lin would not be able to bear the responsibility.

"Boss, a brother has climbed over the roof to make contact, but the situation at Uncle Zhang's place is even more serious. If we just say we won't recruit anymore, or stop recruiting, I'm afraid the people will be easily instigated by those with ulterior motives."

Song Zhong was already sweating profusely at this moment.

The people started queuing up in the early morning and it is now almost noon.

The scorching sunlight makes it easier for people to feel upset.

The Ming Dynasty had only been established for twenty-five years, and there were still many remnants of previous dynasties that were secretly wreaking havoc.

This time, it is obviously a good opportunity for them.

The Jinyiwei had secretly fought against these people many times.

Under normal circumstances, they were all rats in the gutter, afraid of the light. Under the constant attacks of the Jinyiwei, there had been no sound at all. However, this time...

"There's nothing we can do. An informant just sent a message saying that those rats are planning something big."

"But the slightly better thing is that even they didn't expect the situation to be so abrupt this time. Coupled with the gathering of people now, even they couldn't gather together."

"Now it's a matter of time. We can't delay any longer. We can only report to His Majesty and mobilize the army to maintain order to avoid chaos."

Jiang Li pondered for a long time, and then spoke slowly.

Mobilizing the capital's army is no small matter. The dispatch of the army means that the entire capital will be blocked today.

Only in this way can we suppress such an excited crowd.

However, doing so would not be a good thing for the Jinyiwei on Jiang Lin's side.

It is very likely that His Majesty will be left with the impression that you are useless, and at worst, there is a risk of being punished.

The source of the risk is mainly the imperial censors and civil servants.

These imperial censors and civil servants have been keeping an eye on the Imperial Guard for a long time, and they have been submitting impeachment memorials to the emperor on a regular basis. It is not like they are usually ignored by His Majesty.

But at this point, the situation is completely different.

Although this matter was ultimately caused by His Royal Highness Chang Sun, how could His Majesty possibly blame His Royal Highness Chang Sun?

The Embroidered Uniform Guards are the best scapegoats.

"Boss, is it really that serious? Isn't it a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Besides, if I report this to His Majesty, then..."

Song Zhong was halfway through his words when Jiang Li raised his hand to interrupt him.

"There is no point in talking any more. Let's just do this. I will report to His Majesty now. The situation is likely to get out of control. If there is a big chaos, do you think our Jinyiwei can escape?"

"The final consequences will certainly be more serious than they are now."

Jiang Li looked at the crowd solemnly and spoke in a deep voice.

Currently, hundreds of Jinyiwei in the crowd were shouting and yelling, demanding that the people leave and return home.

Then the cunning people were not scared at all.

Those who are close don't confront them and just slip away.

But then, it turned back.

As time went by, the figures of hundreds of Jinyiwei had become somewhat blurred.

Jiang Li did not hesitate any longer and went straight back to the palace.

In the Huagai Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson and talked about the millions of coins and notes.

I couldn't help feeling extremely proud.

The annual revenue of the Ming Dynasty has always been an eternal pain in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Although he has thought of many ways and even started reading books related to business, it seems that Lao Zhu's talent has no added value in this regard.

Many methods achieved the opposite effect. Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang realized it and decided to seize the Jiangnan region.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say a few words to his eldest grandson, Liu He came over and reported: "Your Majesty, Jiang Li wants to see you."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "What's going on? Didn't I just ask him to go deal with the gathering of the people in the capital? How come he came back so soon? Let him in."

"As you wish."

As soon as Jiang Li entered the room, he saw that His Majesty did not look very well. Before he could salute, he heard His Majesty ask, "Jiang Li, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in His Majesty's tone, Jiang Li dared not hesitate, and knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I went to check the situation just now and found that it is no longer something that the Jinyiwei can handle."

"I have also heard that some evildoers hiding in the dark are planning to use this incident to cause a major riot in the capital."

"I dare not delay, so I can only ask Your Majesty to mobilize the army immediately to maintain order in the capital."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the capital's army was going to be mobilized, he picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it at Jiang Lin, cursing, "What use do we have of you, you bastard? At this critical moment, you can't even do something as trivial as calming the people."

"You want us to mobilize a large army? Do you know how much panic the invasion of the army will bring to the people of the capital?"

"You, the Jinyiwei, plus the Wucheng Bingmasi, have about 20,000 people, but you can't even handle this. Jiang Li, Jiang Li, I see that you have become more and more lazy recently."

The teacup did not hit Jiang Li, although he did not dodge.

But the body kneeling on the ground was already a little panicked.

As His Majesty's personal bodyguard, such words were a huge blow to him.

Zhu Ying is different.

At this moment, looking at the broken teacup, he felt a little sad.

This is the imperial teacup. If it were placed in later times, it would probably be worth a fortune.

Even now, the cups that the old man uses to drink tea are all fine products used by the royal court. Any one of them has a noble origin.

"Grandson, what do you think?"

Zhu Ying was still distracted when he was awakened by the old man's voice.

How do I see it?

I'm just standing and watching.

At this moment, Zhu Ying was complaining in his heart.

After some time of contact with the old man, Zhu Ying already had enough understanding of the old man's temper.

It seemed that the old man was furious with Jiang Li, but in fact it was just a lot of noise but little action.

If he really gets angry, with the old man's personality, why would he break a teacup? He would either drag him out and chop him into pieces, or drag him out and give him fifty lashes of the board until he is half dead.

Therefore, Zhu Ying did not react much to the old man's scolding of Jiang Li just now.

But now that the old man has asked me, I can't avoid it.

After a brief pause, Zhu Ying said, "Grandpa, in my opinion, Commander Jiang's handling method is more or less decisive."

"Commander Jiang has been running the Jinyiwei for many years, and he has a rough idea of ​​the control over the entire capital. Commander Jiang knew that if he came to report like this, he would inevitably be punished by grandpa, but he still came anyway."

"This means that this matter has not happened yet, but once it happens, it will definitely be extremely serious."

"So my grandson thinks it's better to cut the Gordian knot and suppress this matter quickly. If time is dragged out, the hidden dangers will be buried deeper."

At this point, Zhu Ying suddenly had an idea and said, "Grandpa, now is a good opportunity. I was planning to conduct an advance drill for the guards participating in the military parade tomorrow. Now is the chance."

"In this regard, it would be better to conduct the military parade rehearsal in actual action, which would be much more effective."

Why was Zhu Yuanzhang so disgusted with the large army entering the city? In history, it was almost impossible for a large army to enter the city except in the event of war.

The main reason is that the military discipline of the soldiers is too poor.

Once some things are out of control, they are not here to quell the unrest, but instead they become the instigators of the riots.

The reason why Zhu Ying proposed to invite the soldiers who participated in the military parade was because he still had confidence in them.

Especially in terms of military discipline, after continuous training and basic ideological education, the current Thirty-Six Guards are basically very close to professional soldiers.

When Jiang Li heard His Royal Highness Changsun speaking for him, he was moved as he lowered his head.

His loyalty to His Royal Highness Chang Sun also became more firm.

After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang's attention was no longer on Jiang Li.

Just as Zhu Ying thought, Zhu Yuanzhang did not really intend to punish Jiang Li, and the scolding was mostly for show.

Zhu Yuanzhang was more in favor of his eldest grandson's proposal.

He nodded and said, "Okay, this time let's see how the soldiers trained by our eldest grandson will perform."

"Jiang Li."

"I am here."

"This time, your grandson is speaking for you, so let's leave it alone. If this happens again in the future, you will be punished for multiple crimes. This time, you Jinyiwei will assist your grandson and complete the task of the army entering the city."

"I obey your order."

The stone in Jiang Li's heart finally fell.

Anyone facing an angry Majesty can only be terrified. If the Majesty is in a bad mood and is really executed, it would be embarrassing.

Zhu Ying looked at Jiang Li and added, "The Jinyiwei will temporarily take charge of the inspection and supervision of the army entering the city this time."

"We need a detailed record of the army's actions after entering the city. I believe that the Jinyiwei can handle this."

Jiang Li kowtowed quickly and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my best!"
