Chapter 115 The He Family's Background

Zhao Feng and Jinyiwei commander Li Chengfeng made a preliminary plan before leaving in a hurry.

Since you want to target the He family, you must clearly understand the forces behind them.

It is said that only when you know both yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Fortunately, this time he took the opportunity to ask for the right to expand the Jinyiwei, so that he could also ask for credit for Ye Ziyu.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng immediately took the official document and walked towards Ye Ziyu's house...

At the same time, Ye Ziyu was practicing sword at home.

"Zi Yu..."

Suddenly a familiar baritone sounded behind him.

"Master Xu."

The news that Zhao Feng was appointed as a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard by the emperor had already spread throughout the city, and Ye Ziyu naturally also learned the news.

"Why are you here so early?"

"Congratulations first..."

"Look at what this is."

Without waiting for Ye Ziyu to finish his words, Zhao Feng immediately handed the official letter to him.

"From now on, you are a captain of the Jinyiwei, and we will be colleagues."

Ye Ziyu looked at Zhao Feng with a little surprise.

The selection process for the Embroidered Uniform Guard was extremely strict, not to mention that he was promoted to a centurion right after joining.

"This is a reward for your last contribution."

"That?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Ziyu's eyes. She didn't expect that Zhao Feng still remembered the last time he had made a contribution and even recommended it for him.

"Go to the other five cities for promotions immediately. I hope you can continue to work hard in this town."

Zhao Feng patted Ye Ziyu's shoulder gently.

"Please rest assured, Master Xu, I will definitely not let you down."

After leaving Ye Ziyu's house, Zhao Feng went straight back to his residence.

"Sir, are you back?"

As soon as Zhao Feng entered the door, he was blocked by Honglian who came to meet him.

"Just now, the major families sent visiting cards, hoping to visit you."

Honglian handed a stack of bright red invitations to Zhao Feng. "I think these people are quite well-informed. The imperial court just issued an edict, and they're already trying to establish connections."

Zhao Feng took it, took a quick look at it, and fell into deep thought.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, knowing that the relationship between these major families and the court was complicated, and even many of them had their backers are high-ranking officials and wealthy families in the capital.

However, I didn't expect that the other party would be so well-informed. In this case, subsequent actions will have to be kept even more confidential.

Once the news leaks out, we will not be able to completely strike down these wealthy families, and they may even take advantage of us.

"Sir, why are the He family the first to take action?"

Honglian looked at Zhao Feng with confusion.

"The He family made their fortune through maritime transport. If we want to fight against the Japanese pirates, we must first cut off their supply and close the borders to the outside world."

Although this policy is indeed beneficial for combating Japanese pirates in the future, it will deal a greater blow to the He family.

Moreover, it would be difficult for the families in the capital that have vested interests with their family to directly gain any more benefits, and such an action would inevitably offend people.

However, an even more important reason that made Zhao Feng determined to take action against the He family was that for so many years, the He family had been secretly colluding with the Japanese pirates.

Although there was no direct evidence because the wealthy families in the capital were covering up for the He family, Zhao Feng believed that he would soon be able to obtain solid evidence after investigation.

"The secrets are all related to the He family, so I'll leave it to you. Remember to report to me immediately if there is any movement. Do not act on your own."

After all, the He family is not an ordinary family. Among the guards there are several martial artists. If you act rashly, you may not be the opponent's match.

"As ordered."

After receiving the order, Honglian hurriedly changed into a nightgown, and then quietly used her lightness skills to arrive at the He family's house.

At the same time, Zhao Feng also began to deploy without stopping.

He first arranged for his capable subordinates to post a notice about the expansion of the Jinyiwei. At the same time, he also announced the rules of the expansion, the selection method and the number of places.

"Sir, shouldn't we select the new recruits from among the children of high-ranking families?"

After all, the Jinyiwei were a backbone force of the imperial court, and the first generation of Jinyiwei seemed to be composed of the children of imperial officials.

Gradually, as dynasties continued, the conditions for selection into the Embroidered Uniform Guard also changed accordingly.

Although most of them were indeed children of court officials, there were also a small number of extremely outstanding people from the people.

"This expansion is different from the previous ones. The reason we are expanding the Jinyiwei this time is, on the one hand, to deal with the Japanese pirates, and on the other hand, to eliminate the evil sects in the martial arts world."

Zhao Feng paused, then continued earnestly, "Of course, we also know that these sects in the Jianghu have complicated relationships with some people in the court, so this time we tried our best to select people from the common people."

These people have relatively clean backgrounds and don't dare to take sides easily. This is what Zhao Feng values ​​most.

If we choose the children of officials, we may have to take the complex relationships among them into consideration.

"But if we make this arrangement, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among some people in the court. What should we do then?"

Ye Ziyu also has certain opinions on this.

"You will be selected according to this standard first. If anything happens in the future, I will take responsibility."

Zhao Feng secretly made up his mind to solve these two problems properly, so as not to let down the emperor's grace.

The announcement of the Jinyiwei expansion had already attracted many people to sign up, including some children of officials.

However, perhaps in order to make things go more smoothly, Zhao Feng decided to personally be responsible for the assessment of these children of officials.

……

At the same time, Jinyiwei Commander Li Chengfeng also received the assessment standards set by Zhao Feng.

Li Chengfeng frowned slightly after reading it.

Although the Jinyiwei was the backbone of the imperial court, it also needed the support of some high-ranking families in the court.

However, the enrollment expansion standards set by Zhao Feng completely disregarded the interests of these people, and this would probably offend quite a few people.

If this matter gets to the court, it might even cause dissatisfaction among many people, and even Zhan Wudi would not be able to resolve it.

That night, Jinyiwei Commander Li Chengfeng sent someone to call Zhao Feng to his home. After the two of them drank and chatted happily, they started talking after three rounds of drinks.

"Master Xu, what are your thoughts on the expansion of the Jinyiwei this time?"
