Hengguo's palace guards have always been a legendary existence, this system was established at the beginning of the founding of the country, Taizu was born and died several times, and finally rushed back to dinner on time, in addition to the fact that the chef's cooking was really delicious, but also because of the loyal secret guards who accompanied him.

There is a dark guard with him, in addition to increasing the force value, it also comes with a fright value, Taizu in the most dangerous time, the secret guard suddenly appeared, often has not yet shot, the other party was frightened for a moment, thinking that he saw a ghost, and it was much easier to take the head at that time.

At that time, Taizu's secret guard was his childhood best friend, so he also believed that the prince and the secret guard should establish a deep relationship with the secret guard at a young age, and that kind of relationship could not be easily destroyed or replaced by a contract.

Therefore, the prince's secret guard will be selected when the prince reaches the age of fourteen and needs to travel out of the palace.

Hearing that he was going to start picking the secret guard, Feng Ge strongly asked him to pick it himself, on the grounds that the person he used was of course pleasing to the eye.

Although the prince and the dark guard will not meet ninety-nine percent of the time.

Although the prince and the dark guard meet, it is basically a life-and-death situation where their fate hangs by a thread, and normal people will not care if the dark guard is pleasing to the eye.

Although the dark guard either died after the attack, or continued to hide in the shadows, it really didn't matter what he looked like.

However, what Feng Ge wanted, no one could stop it, not to mention, the ancestral family law did not stipulate that the prince could not choose his own secret guard, so the saint agreed.

After finishing the homework required by the Taifu and the queen all night, Feng Ge came to the martial arts arena in good spirits.

The early morning sun shone on the martial arts arena, cold and without a little temperature, Feng Ge had a silver stove in his sleeve, sat beside his father, and looked at the twenty people standing straight in the martial arts arena.

"These people were selected from all over the country and were finally promoted. Father said.

Before, Feng Ge only had to study in her heart, and she didn't have the strength to care about these things at all, so the idea of the audition promotion was also fresh, she blinked: "No, didn't you say that it should be selected from the big inner master?"

"Hehe, it's the opposite, after becoming a secret guard, they will be incorporated into the masters of the inner house, receive salaries according to their ranks, and have to evaluate their performance at the end of each year, and if they do well, they can be promoted and transferred, and if they don't do well, they will be reduced or dismissed. ”

With the sound of the three-way drum, the selection of the secret guard began, light skills, hidden weapons, and sword competitions, which are all routine items, as well as underwater breath-holding, jumping in the forest, and hiding in the room, these are also skills that need to be mastered as a secret guard.

The martial arts arena was busy, and Feng Ge quietly asked his father: "Is their family background reliable?"

"Unreliable. ”

Such an important job, even if it is not selected from the children of the family, at least after selecting these people, a background check should be conducted to ensure that they are not spies from enemy countries or perverts with bad intentions.

Feng Ge felt that the recruitment of the dark guards was too distracting: "What if there are bad people in it?

"If it's a spy, you will rebel against him, and if it is here to kill you, you will influence him!" The expression on my father's face was as if to say, "It's cold, then you should wear more clothes and drink more hot water." ”

Feng Ge rubbed her temples, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't want to refute, after all, Emperor Taizong had been assassinated more than a hundred times in his life, and he had really influenced a female killer, and he almost accepted her as a concubine. My father has always liked to take Emperor Taizong as an example and ask himself to follow suit.

"Alas, life is so difficult, my life is so hard. Feng Ge silently looked at the martial arts arena.

There are only three people standing on the field now, their strength is not superior, no one has made the first move, and it has been a stalemate for a long time.

There is no first, there is no second, if you don't accept the battle, victory represents all the rules, this is the way the warrior speaks.

But now there is not only second, but also third...... Feng Ge felt a little hungry, she didn't know how long they would have to stand, she wanted to sneak away, but was stopped by her father's eyes.

If the official finds out that the prince is watching a play, oh no, he is choosing a secret guard, and he runs away after watching half of it, and the reason for running away is not some southern barbarian invasion, and the northern border is in an emergency, but goes straight to the imperial dining room, and the father will receive a lot of letters complaining about the eldest princess's misbehavior.

At this moment, Feng Ge regretted extremely much why she took the initiative to come, wouldn't it be okay if she didn't come, her father looked at her with a very kind expression, and his voice was also very gentle: "It's really uncomfortable to let you sit for so long now, but it will be fine in the future." ”

Hey?

"Later?" Feng Ge raised his little face and looked at him, "Don't you have to sit for so long in the future?"

Father smiled and shook his head: "No, you will get used to it in the future." My record is that I sat from the beginning of the Fifth Dynasty to the time of Shen. ”

That time was a border emergency and the flooding of the Yellow River, and two major matters needed to be dealt with immediately at the same time, the main battle faction had to fight, the main peace faction had to talk, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu said that he wanted money to repair the river embankment, and the household department Shangshu said that he wanted money to distribute grain for disaster relief.

It is really internal and external troubles.

Fortunately, Feng Ge was just three years old at that time, and he didn't need to accompany him, and I heard that Qiangang, who had always been gentle and elegant, had a rare decision, and personally made a decision, and determined all the solutions, so that he could go back to the palace and eat a hot bite. Of course, after eating, I have to continue to read the book, and I have to summon many ministers, and I will not stop until the third watch, and I will continue to go to court on the fourth watch.

Feng Ge looked at his father's eyes, full of sympathy: "Father is so pitiful. ”

The eyes of the father looking back at her were full of expectation: "You will definitely be able to surpass your father in the future!"

Wait a minute...... Is this a father, why do you curse your daughter......

There was still no change in the martial arts arena, their shadows had originally stretched to the west, but now their shadows were already under their feet, and they were slightly starting to move east

"Do you remember how your father got to eat in the first place?"

Feng Ge stood up from the soft chair and strode forward: "Whoever of you goes to this step in front of the Lone King first is the secret guard of the Lone King." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three figures that froze in place and did not move, like three black lightning bolts, rushed towards her, and the three of them stumbled and pulled each other's hind legs.

A smaller one fell last, he raised his hand, and threw a rope with stones tied to both ends, and wrapped it around the legs of the person who ran first, and the man sensed the danger flying from behind, and quickly dodged to the side, and the stone fell to the ground, and the plot failed.

In just such an instant, the second place in kung fu had already rushed over, and the last one was behind him, grabbed his clothes, and the whole person jumped on his back.

Then he used his shoulders as a springboard and jumped forward, and he saw that he could secure the first place.

However...... It's just a little bit worse, and a lot of things can't be bad at all.

Just when the figure that flew over on someone else's shoulder was about to fall, there was already a hand clapped on the steps in front of Feng Ge.

The person who had been stopped by the rope dart, seeing that he was about to lose, threw himself forward, slapped his palm on the stone steps, and slightly stirred up a cloud of dust.

Feng Ge was also stunned, not knowing how to judge. At some point, the Emperor got up, stood beside her, and whispered, "Now you know how hard it is to make a rule." ”

"What now?" Feng Ge had never encountered such a situation.

Now both of them looked at her, waiting for her to make a final decision, and both faces were wearing white masks, covering their facial features tightly, which is said to be a rule made by Taizu in order to avoid judging people by their appearance.

Although due to the royal rules, the two big white faces can't stare at her, but it's still quite stressful.

"Who do you want?" asked the Emperor.

"I want to eat...... "Anyway, these three people are about the same, it's the same for whoever you pick, the matter is over quickly, so I can go to dinner, I heard that I will make crystal red date cake today."

Father nodded: "Then you have to find a reason to justify yourself, just pick one." ”

Feng Ge began to rub his temples again, Father, you are too casual.

She suppressed the tension in her heart and made the first choice in her life in the true sense of the word.

"All three of you are excellent. Feng Ge took a few steps forward and stood in front of them with an elegant smile on his face, "Although there can only be one secret guard today, I believe that with your skills, you will definitely be able to become the pillars of the country in the future, what is your name?"

slapped the ground with his palm: "Guan Linsen." ”

The one who jumped over on someone else's shoulder spoke, but it was a girl's crisp voice: "Jin Huang." ”

The voice that was stepped on was a little muffled: "Li Moyi." ”

Feng Ge nodded: "Guan Linsen is the first to arrive, and I chose him as my secret guard." ”

Jin Huang was unconvinced: "How can you count it when you only have one hand." ”

The peers in the palace will never refute her, this girl's unconvinced look makes Feng Ge feel quite fresh, she smiled: "The hand is also a part of the body, although the head is the head of the six yangs, but if you want to cut off a hand, no one will want to, right?"

I always felt that there was something wrong with this theory, but Jin Huang couldn't think of anything to say for a while, so he just lowered his head sullenly.

Feng Ge was very glad that she was just a little girl, unlike those treacherous and cunning old men in the court, who didn't have a word to send them away.

She felt the envious eyes cast by her father behind her.

Then, she heard a sentence: "Jin Huang, don't care about temporary gains and losses, in a few years, you can also be like the ministers who are now standing above the court." ”

When others heard this, they thought that His Majesty was comforting the losing little girl, and in Feng Ge's ears, it was: "Hey, if she can't win against you now, she may not be able to win in a few years." ”

Feng Ge sighed again in his heart: "Alas, is this my father?

After determining the candidate for the secret guard, Guan Linsen followed the official department to take charge, and the others went back to their respective homes, and Feng Ge could finally go back to the palace for dinner.

The biggest advantage of living in the palace is that no matter how late it is, there will be no shortage of food, a piece of crystal red date cake under the stomach, finally let the stomach be satisfied, Feng Ge remembered today's events, and couldn't help but ask his father: "Shouldn't the secret guard be like a soldier, the more the better?" I think those three are pretty good, why can I only keep one." ”

Father shook his head: "It's different. ”

"When marching and fighting, the backbone is the person in command, the so-called one general is incompetent, tired to death of the three armies, the soldiers are all referring to where to fight, of course, the more people, the better. The secret guard is that everything needs to be judged by themselves, make decisions, and when doing one thing, one person can come up with an idea, and two people, that is going to happen. ”

"But it's pitiful to be alone who has to watch over me twelve hours a day, and doesn't even have a shift to rest. Feng Ge said, "Besides, he's still a man! When I want to bathe and change clothes, if he keeps watching, it will be disrespectful, if he doesn't look, what if there is an assassin." ”

Father looked at her and said with a smile, "You can only have one secret guard." ”

"Yes. ”

"But you can have a lot of friends. ”

"Huh?"

Feng Ge suddenly understood: "Father is saying that I should turn everyone in the world into my friend, so that no one will want to assassinate me, right? ”

With that, she ran out happily, ready to tell her mother about the interesting events that happened in today's selection of the dark guard.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to her distant back: "You...... You're getting it wrong......"

Since the founding of the country, there has been only one establishment of secret guards, so no one has expanded this establishment later, so as not to be said by the officials to break the rules of the ancestors, waste the people and money, and waste the state funds......

However, if you ask a few more people to protect your money, you can go through other channels for reimbursement, such as Ouchi entertainment expenses. So he just mentioned his friend or something...... Is this implication too unobvious?

But the living note was standing beside him, and he didn't dare to say it too bluntly, lest he be known by the counselor again, and he would receive a lot of admonitions.

Alas, daughter, you ask for more blessings, the emperor shook his head, silently took another chopsticks crispy duck, and the waiter on the side immediately shouted: "Withdraw the dishes." ”

A palace man stepped forward to take the crispy duck away, and the emperor remembered that the previous Taichang Temple Cheng learned the rules of the hell from somewhere, and each dish should not be eaten more than three bites, lest others know the emperor's preferences and poison this dish.

The emperor sighed, put down his chopsticks, and silently muttered in his heart: "My life is so bitter......"

Feng Ge talked and laughed in the middle palace for a long time, talking about today's events, like an ordinary child, waiting for the queen mother to praise her for being smart and capable, but she didn't expect the queen to just say lightly: "Now you know how difficult it is to set a rule as a superior, right?"

Hey, this is exactly the same as the father, and it's right, the queen mother is in charge of the six palaces, and although the entire harem affairs are not as thrilling as the major events of the government and the opposition, every time a decision is made, it is a move to the whole body, and I don't know which one is not decided to offend the daughter of a certain important minister.

The queen also said: "The art of sophistry can be used once to save an emergency, but after all, it is not the right way, have you ever seen the 'empty city plan' used ten times or eight times? You will be the emperor in the future, and you will always follow the right path when you govern the world." ”

"Yes, yes," Feng Ge stuck out his tongue with a smile, and the queen said angrily: "It's weird, you still think you're a three-year-old child, if you show it to the counselor, you have to say that you are misbehaving." ”
