Xuanyuan thought for a moment, bowed to Huang Guozhong and said, "Please give the prime minister advice." ”

When the time was finally ripe, Huang Guozhong naturally refused to let go, so he got up and helped Xuanyuan to decide, and said: "If the prince doesn't dislike it, then take this prime minister's mansion as his home." ”

Xuanyuan was immediately moved, and saluted again: "Thank you Prime Minister for taking me in, and the ministers will follow the work of dogs and horses!"

Huang Guozhong smiled happily, and immediately ordered his subordinates to hold a banquet, clearly saying that it was for Xuanyuan to take over the wind and wash the dust, but secretly he was celebrating that Xuanyuan was officially accepted by him.

…………

East Palace.

The eunuch Xiong Jin hurriedly came to the prince and said happily: "Your Highness, a good thing, a good thing!"

The prince was unmoved, and slowly blew the tea leaves in the bowl, and asked, "What's the matter, so flustered?"

Xiong Jin smiled: "The slave just got the news, and Huang Guozhong really tried to win over Xuanyuan. ”

"Oh?" the prince put down the tea bowl and looked at Xiong Jin, "What is the result?"

Xiong Jin said: "Your Highness really expected things like a god, Huang Guozhong tried Xuanyuan at the beginning, Xuanyuan Duel's play was very good, and he was soon regarded by Huang Guozhong as a fool who had never seen the world." Then, Huang Guozhong began a showdown, and Xuanyuan immediately agreed. At this moment, presumably Huang Guozhong's old boy is secretly proud!"

The crown prince nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Very good! In this way, the palace can monitor Huang Guozhong's every move in more detail." ”

"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Xiong Jin's face turned into a flower.

The prince glanced at Xiong Jin, and suddenly smiled: "Actually, your play is also very good, otherwise, Huang Guozhong's eyeliner will not be easily believed." ”

Xiong Jin smiled: "It's all the result of His Highness's cultivation." ”

The crown prince suddenly put away his smile, sighed and said, "With you and Xuanyuan here, this palace can really make up for the vacancy that the second brother left." ”

Xiong Jin also put away his smile with a lot of eyes, and said with a little sadness: "It turns out that His Royal Highness is missing His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

The prince shook his head and sighed, "The second brother left early, and it was also fate." ”

…………

After the morning of the next day, several pieces of news spread quickly.

The first news is that it is said that the emperor in the court today has a pale face, deep-set eye sockets, a sad face, and seems to be seriously ill, and even when he retired from the court, he was supported by several eunuchs to leave the main hall.

From this point of view, the current emperor is still destroyed by time after all, no one can live forever, and no one will not age, even if it is a high emperor, there will be this day after all.

The second news is that the emperor probably also has self-knowledge, so he announced in the court that from now on, the crown prince will be responsible for supervising the country and overseeing all the government affairs, and the emperor himself will be relieved to be an emperor.

This means that although the crown prince is not yet official, he has actually taken control of the empire.

The prince was naturally pleasantly surprised, and after thanking him excitedly, he received the dragon robe handed over by Wei Zhong.

Huang Guozhong, on the other hand, was furious and tried to stop it several times, but in the end he still did not have the determination to stop the emperor.

So much so that after the end of the early dynasty, Huang Guozhong looked even more haggard than the emperor, because it meant that the previous three-legged situation was completely over, and the next time was for the prince to vigorously exterminate the hostile forces, and the so-called hostile forces were naturally Xiao Zhang and him Huang Guozhong.

The catastrophe is coming, and Huang Guozhong is ready to resist to the death.

The third piece of news was that the emperor decreed that the long-vacant title of commander of the Praetorian Guard was given to Xiao Zhang, and that Xiao Zhang was given the right to walk around the palace at will, including the harem. This means that the emperor handed over the safety of the entire Soul Capital and his net worth to Xiao Zhang.

Even, from a certain point of view, the emperor's trust in Xiao Zhang has exceeded his trust in the crown prince. So much so that after the prince heard this will, he immediately expressed strong opposition, but helplessly, the emperor had made up his mind, and no one could shake it.

The purpose of the emperor's move was obvious, and the purpose of letting Xiao Zhang lead the Praetorian Guard was to supervise and restrain the crown prince and prevent the prince from acting excessively or despicably, in short, it was like putting a dog leash around the prince's neck.

After hearing this will, Huang Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that the crown prince would definitely focus a lot of energy on how to deal with Xiao Zhang first, and he should not have time to take care of him for the time being. Moreover, he can also stir up the situation and continue to maintain the three-legged situation until the time is ripe for him.

After the end of the early dynasty, Xiao Zhang came to the Praetorian Guard Commander's Office with great interest to handle the handover matters.

Ma Han, who is also the commander of the Praetorian Guard, warmly received Xiao Zhang, Ma Han's command of the secret guard is already a very stressful errand, plus the Praetorian Guard, he is really a little unbearable, Xiao Zhang's arrival can finally let Ma Han unload some heavy burdens and concentrate on leading the secret guard.

After handling the handover matters, Xiao Zhang was considered to have taken office, and he was not idle, and immediately began to "walk" in the palace, observing the deployment of the palace and the prohibition settings.

However, what surprised him was that the center of the dignified imperial power, the imposing deep courtyard of the imperial palace, did not set up any prohibitions, except for a small number of Praetorian Guards, there was no defense.

Of course, the reason why the emperor is so "careless" is because there are still secret guards in the palace. Although the Dark Guards are nowhere to be seen all day long, they are actually everywhere, and their characteristics are very similar to those of the Black Scorpion Society, and they are even stronger than the Black Scorpion Society.

And because the emperor is recognized as the strongest person in the world, he has the absolute ability to protect himself, and anyone who wants to break into the palace to assassinate must first weigh his own weight, and then there will be only one result, and he will be discouraged.

In the imagination of people outside the palace, the palace must be heavily guarded, and flies cannot enter and exit at will, but the fact is the opposite, in Xiao Zhang's words, the palace is like a garden attraction that you can visit casually after buying a ticket.

However, Xiao Zhang did not relax because of the "freedom" in front of him, he believes that this place is also within the palace, and it is very likely that there will be unexpected organs, so it is better to be careful.

After walking around, feeling uninterested, Xiao Zhang returned to the Praetorian Guard Commander's Office, but saw that there were two more people in the room.

After inquiry, it turned out that these two were the two deputy commanders of the Praetorian Guard, the left deputy commander was named Gong Dian, and the right deputy commander was named Yan Jia.

For these two future assistants, Xiao Zhang will not easily believe it, so it is natural that he wants to make a trial.
