At the southern foot of the ancestral mountain, the Qianming Hall on the west side of the Wuzhong Palace was noisy, and countless male voices shouted "Where is Your Majesty", "Why hasn't Your Majesty come yet" and the like, and there was only one female voice, and there was anger in the low voice that was about to break the ice: "When Your Majesty will come, is it up to you and other courtiers to decide?"

The civil and military officials were obviously impatient, and some people had already shouted, "Is there something wrong with the empress, you are a Fusang woman who wants to usurp the throne...... Long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

The empress who was still dressed during the day turned out of the apse, and the old Wenchen, who was wearing a crane mending uniform and a long-winged gauze hat, knelt down and kowtowed, and the other officials hurriedly followed.

"Your Majesty! Yulin Wei Jinyi Wei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel is the holy judgment of His Majesty, but the important posts such as the Ministry of War and the Criminal Department and the Zhongjing Mansion must be agreed upon by the cabinet, and then submitted to His Majesty for selection, otherwise it will not be in accordance with the rules. ”

The old Wenchen shook his white beard, and his words were deep and true. "Regardless of this in advance, check the matter of the clan officials' residences, and ask Your Majesty to retract the order! As soon as this order is issued, Zhongjing will be in chaos!"

The Empress looked at the only bachelor who had volunteered allegiance to her, and her brow furrowed in dissatisfaction. "What other rules do you need? I have to ask for the consent of others to become an official, so who is the emperor?"

"What's wrong with the house? There are still demons of evil demons hidden in Zhongjing, and only you nobles can hide them. If you don't investigate, are you waiting for you to join her in the same stream, destroy the Ming Dynasty and even destroy the Aurora Continent?"

The scholar was so anxious that he was about to grit his teeth, "Your Majesty, the truth is so, but you have to pay attention to the rules and regulations in doing things, and score priorities! Your Majesty should also see that it is the time when people's hearts are unstable, and we must first stabilize people's hearts and separate relatives and relatives." ”

The Empress sat on a throne much simpler than the Throne of Sheji, her fingers tapping on the armrest, her eyes a little confused. "You mean kissing the ...... Uh, is the gentleman far away?"

The scholar nodded without hesitation, and the empress patted the armrest, her tone unquestionable. "It's a matter of intimacy, and this is the time to see if everyone is loyal to me. Whoever is loyal to me, I will kiss him...... Phew, who do you still need to teach me? Bachelor, let's start with your house. ”

The scholar stiffened, lowered his voice and said: "The old minister has never raised dark elves in his family, if this is true, the sky will thunder and split!" The old minister can also use the head of the senior to vouch for other scholars, and ask His Majesty to take back his life and leave some ...... for the important ministers of the society Decent. ”

"Your dignity is more important than the Ming Dynasty, the safety of Aurora, and the life and death of billions of people?" The empress was a little angry, she didn't understand why the old guy resisted so much, "If you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't you take the initiative to accept the investigation and prove your innocence?"

The scholar was speechless, his throat whining. The other officials were clumsy, eager to roll them into dried shrimp.

The next moment, the whites of the scholar's eyes rolled and fell to the ground, provoking a cry of exclamation.

When the guards helped the scholar up, there was a popping sound in the hall, and most of the people fell to the ground. There are not only unconscious, but also swinging and even vomiting.

"Uhh......h

The empress pinched her nose and said in disgust, "You people are really fragile, and you can't bear the slightest pressure. ”

The office was transferred to the apse, and there were only more than ten officials left, all of whom were the heads of powerful departments under the Yulinwei, Jinyiwei, the Military Department, the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple, and the Zhongjing Mansion.

"Investigate the families of the clan officials, search for the filth and filth hidden in Zhongjing, and be sure to find the dark elf demon," the empress said in a stern tone, which was not only related to Aurora's safety, but also related to her own situation. "For a limited time of half a month, it will be under the full control of the head of Tosaka, and I will give her the sword of Shang Fang, and whoever does not do it will kill anyone's head. ”

The officials were all colorless, angry and retreated like a group of zombies.

"I think...... I'm afraid it won't work. ”

There were only two monarchs and ministers left in the apse, and they were silent for a long time, and Xiao Ai spoke with some hesitation. "No matter how complicated and difficult things are, I can arrange them properly, provided that the manpower is as reassuring as Xingtian, or at least the alternate Xingtian. These people ...... I was blinded, and I didn't know if I could use it. ”

The empress rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I also know that it can't be done, but the matter of the devil is so urgent, and there are few absolutely loyal people who stand up to share my worries?"

"By the way, what about him?" Xiao Ai asked about the Empress's whereabouts before, "He should be absolutely loyal to you, right?"

The empress's mood suddenly improved, she raised her eyebrows, and said very quickly that if Gao De was here, she would definitely beat her chest. "Of course, he knows very well that being loyal to me is being loyal to Daming, and he also understands my current situation and wants to do something for me. However, he is self-aware, he knows that his ability is low, and he only wants to operate in the dark and do things that are not suitable for the public. ”

Xiao Ai nodded while listening, "It's okay, it's not in vain for you......"

She was annoyed and guilty again, "At that time, I was at the gate of the ancestral mountain, how good it was for me to chase that black-skinned bean sprout, and it wouldn't make you ......."

"Didn't you say I'm sorry again?" the empress reproached, "The evil demon is very tricky, I've gone wrong, wouldn't it be worse to replace you?"

Speaking of this empress, I had palpitations, "God bless me when I met him, and I almost didn't hold back when I recognized him." ”

"Yes, what a coincidence," Xiao Ai teased the empress with a squeezing eye. "The evil demon likes to do that kind of thing, but in your Ice Sage form, it hasn't reached that level, has it?

"You're embarrassed to say it, although I don't feel at a loss, but it's not something to be happy about!" the empress knocked on the table with a tuk to knock on the table, "It's not that you sent me several urgent messages in a row saying that something happened to the Heavenly Temple, how could I choose the most embarrassing way? Of course, if it weren't for him, there would be no such option." ”

"That guy is really lucky," Xiao Ai smacked her lips and shook her head, "If it were me, I would definitely fry it first and then sprinkle it." ”

The empress puffed out her cheeks and pretended to be angry, and Xiao Ai turned back into a serious face. "Then recruit him to his side and take care of the entire Jinyi Guard. ”

"I ......," the Empress hesitated, and did not speak for a while.

After a long time, she slowly shook her head, "He is mortal after all, and the danger we face is not something he can afford, so ......"

Xiao Ai gradually smiled, "Take him as a souvenir and keep it safe?"

"Zhu Moli has to live for Da Ming in this life," the empress sighed, exhaling a thick exhaustion, "Li should be free, he is Li's." ”

"Anyway, it's just hiding," Xiao Ai nodded: "I will do the same if I do, I'll see if there is any idle yamen in the brocade guard that can allow him to retire." ”

She took out a booklet and flipped through it like ten pages at a glance.

The page stopped, and she sent the booklet to the empress: "This department is the most idle, how is it?"

"It's good, I didn't expect there to be such a department in the Jinyi Guard, which has nothing to do with dangerous things," the empress was very satisfied, "but I don't need him to do anything, just let him retire there in peace." ”

She never hesitated to praise the Fusang girl who has followed her since she was a child: "It's still a little love, and it's solved in a blink of an eye." ”

"I'll write a decree for you, and let that guy take office in the morning," Xiao Ai's expression was gloomy, "Originally, I was very confident in my own ability, thinking that it would be enough to share your worries, but now it seems that it is too much." The affairs of these departments are okay, but those ministers ......"

Speaking of this, the empress also became distressed, "Yes, it is much easier to fight demons, why can't these guys respond to any of them like playing chess, and wait for my orders?"

She looked at Xiao Ai and said very seriously: "But I won't back down, I won't admit defeat, Xiao Ai, just like we killed demons in the Holy Mountain, continue to help me." ”

The Fuso girl pressed her chest and bowed her head deeply: "Ai Tosaka will always follow you and serve you until death." ”

The Empress lifted her up and said with relief, "I'm glad that at least I still have you." ”

patting the pile of documents and files on the bookcase, the empress said again: "We have to stay up all night, we have to find out how much money this Daming still has, and how much trouble there is." ”

The lights in the apse of the Qianming Hall were not extinguished all night, and in the small courtyard in the north of the West City, Gao De also couldn't sleep.

He didn't know what he was thinking, and it wasn't until dawn that drowsiness gradually lowered his eyelids.

As soon as I closed my eyes, there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door and saw the person coming, Gao De knelt down on one knee and shouted with his hands: "Your Excellency!"

The person who came was a middle-aged fat man dressed in a big red flying fish suit, with a fat belly and a jade belt to his chest, surrounded by a group of brocade guards who were at least the general banner. Gao De recognized it at a glance, it was actually Ma Yishi, who was in charge of personnel in Jinyiwei.

"Ouch Brother Gao, don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" The big man who appeared in the Xicheng branch of the city patrol station and did not smile with his hands and stomachs was smiling like a waitress in a tavern at this time, "It's all the emperor...... Her Majesty's pro-army around her, who are the adults and villains, get up quickly!"

Helping Gao De with his own hands, the fat man's face was straight: "Gao De, the captain of Jinyi, takes the order!"

Nima is playing with me, am I not going to kneel again?

Gao De had no choice but to kneel down again, this time on both knees. I wasn't really angry, but I was very happy.

Don't look at Xiaoli as a folk person, this efficiency is comparable to blowing the pillow wind for the empress! And let the empress personally give the order, no wonder Ma Yishi personally ran over, what a big row!

Hundreds of households!

is still in charge of the elephant training institute of the real 100 households!

Gao De's brain was a little dizzy, counting the two levels of deputy hundred households and trying one hundred households, it was five levels in a row!

and so on......

Pulling out the information of various departments of Jinyiwei in his mind, Gao Deshan wanted to shout long live Xiaoli when he shouted long live.

When the Ming Jinyi Guard was not a marginal role in the three guards of the pro-army before, he was always in charge of the honor guard of the emperor Luan. When the emperor went out on patrol, there were giant elephants, lions and tigers, unicorns, pixiu and other fierce beasts to open the way, and these beasts were raised by elephants in the brocade guard.

With the change of the times, the emperor traveled directly by car, train or even airplane, and these beasts were no longer useful. But no one knows if the emperor will have a whim, and hold a retro-style ceremony to have fun with the people, and the elephant training institute has not been abolished.

This is really a quiet pension department, and the row is not small. "Elephant Taming Institute" sounds bad, what about replacing it with "Daming Royal Zoo"?

It's a loss that he wasn't carried away by that little golden ticket, Gao De admired himself very much, and gave up 20,000 gold dragons in exchange for this position, this transaction should not be too profitable!

went back and greeted Gao Miao, asking her to stay at home honestly, Gao De was hugged by Ma Yanshi on the shoulders of the gold-rimmed, shiny and gorgeous steam car.

A team of steam wagons burst away, a small yellow-haired head poking out of the gate, and a tear-stained face full of worry and chagrin.

"Brother......

Gao Miao snorted and muttered, "You need to come back early." ”

The convoy drove all the way with the whistle, ignoring the traffic lights, and went straight to the zoo in the south of the city in half an hour. Yes, there is a zoo open to the general public, and Gao De visited it with his father a few times as a child.

I didn't expect that animal park to be Jinyiwei's industry......

While dealing with overly enthusiastic affairs, Gao De calculated his salary and even his pension. When the convoy turned into the dirt and gravel road two or three miles away from the zoo, and the buttocks began to pile up again, Ma Yishi frequently said things like "young and promising" and "heavy responsibilities on his shoulders", Gao De's heart also followed the buttocks, and he couldn't stop beating.

The convoy pulled into a compound surrounded by high walls and stopped in front of a bunker-like three-story stone building.

Dozens of people stood in line under the main building, and Gao De smelled a certain familiar smell in the car, and his heart beat out an angry curve.

got out of the car and followed behind Ma Yishi, and walked to the group of brocade guards who were kneeling on the ground.

"This is the newly appointed Lord Baihu!" "Commander Ma shouted in a sharp voice, "Lord Baihu appointed by Her Majesty the Empress!"

Everyone bowed their heads and shouted in unison, and Gao De stood in front of them in a daze.

When the leader raised his head, the two looked at each other.

"Wori!"

Gaude's neck hurt again, it was the same beard that almost broke his neck to his knees!

"I'm grass!"

The beard and mouth are open, and the number of cavities can be counted.
