Seeing Sima Zhou laughing, Shen Ning knew that his task was completed.

Sima Zhou's gaze returned to Shen Ning again, and he felt that this son was obedient, and he would be a pillar of the imperial court in the future, and it would be just right to use him to control Xuzhou in the future. Since you want to use him, you naturally have to solicit him, and the best way is to reward him.

"Shen Ning, you did a good job, plus you saved Princess Changle, I will definitely be rewarded. You are now serving as the military master in Xuzhou Wei, and you are from the seventh rank, and I will give you the third rank of the officer, and the official will be the sixth rank of the Xiao cavalry captain. You are still on duty in Xuzhou Wei for the time being, and do you understand it? I will never treat you badly. By the way, you will secretly take the position of the Tiger Guard in secret for the time being, and I will leave this matter to you to arrange. Sima Zhou gave a reward.

Shen Ning hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, thank Your Majesty for the reward!" ”

Don't underestimate these three ranks, the sixth rank has entered the level of a middle-grade official, and in Xuzhou Weizhong, it corresponds to the master master, who can command 12,000 soldiers and horses.

Of course, although Shen Ning was promoted, when he returned to Xuzhou, Sima Yue, the king of the southeast, would not let him be the master, because the master was already his confidant and must be absolutely loyal, and Shen Ning did not have enough military exploits.

Shen Ning didn't expect to lead more troops when he returned to Xuzhou, but he had this official position, as long as he had military merits, it would be a matter of course.

As for working part-time in the Tiger Guard, it is an unexpected joy.

At this time, Sima Zhou was a little tired, and a sickly flush appeared on his face.

Shen Ning knew that this was caused by the poisonous minerals that infected the body after taking a large amount of erysipelas, and it was not easy for Sima Zhou to survive until now after eating so many pills.

"I'm tired, let's all stand down." Sima Zhou kept yawning, and drowsiness immediately hit.

Zhao Qingxuan on the side bent down to help Sima Zhou, who knew that the injury on her buttocks hurt so much that she bit her teeth and didn't dare to speak up.

At the same time, he secretly glanced at Shen Ning, this guy actually dared to peek at himself and winked at himself.

For a while, humiliation was intertwined in his heart, making Zhao Qingxuan so hateful that he really wanted to ask His Majesty to execute him. But she could only endure it, as if she didn't see it.

And Shen Ning followed Xu Chong straight out of the inner room.

Walking out of the alchemy room, Xu Chongzhi smiled and said: "Congratulations to Captain Shen, he is a six-rank Xiao riding captain at a young age, and there are not many in the whole world, and Captain Shen is unlimited in the future!" ”

"Everywhere, this is all the support of Father-in-law Xu, and the humble duty is unforgettable! In the future, I will work under my father-in-law, and I will ask my father-in-law for advice. Shen Ning said.

Xu Chong said straightly: "Your Majesty let our family temporarily occupy the Earth Tiger Guard, do you know the importance of the Earth Tiger Guard?" ”

Dihuwei is similar to the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty, directly obeying the emperor's orders, responsible for spying and reconnaissance, and has its own official office and prison. However, Dihuwei does not have the reputation of Jinyiwei, and it has not yet reached the point where officials talk about it, as for the reason, it is naturally that Xu Chongzhi is smart and does not want to offend people.

In fact, the reason why the Earth Tiger Guard was established was because of Sima Zhou's panic.

Why?

Because the Su Guard Army and the Yamen Army were ostensibly loyal to the emperor, but in fact they were controlled by the three provinces, that is, the control was in the hands of the family. They will listen to the emperor's orders, but it is not uncommon for yin to obey and yang to disobey, and it is not strange that they don't even listen to the chain when it is critical.

The three provinces have already set aside the emperor's rights, and can even dismiss the emperor's holy decree, which shows the degree of arrogance.

Therefore, Sima Zhou felt panic, and only the Tianlong Guard Forbidden Army guarding the palace in his hands was not enough, so he established the Earth Tiger Guard.

It has been fifteen years since the establishment of the Earth Tiger Guard, and the effect is average, directly under the orders of the emperor Sima Zhou, and Sima Zhou let Xu Chongzhi serve as the palm seal, and there is a commander under his command, who is responsible for all matters, and there are two deputy commanders under the command, Yang Jian is just one of them. Further down, there are twelve more parts, known as the twelve parts of the earthly branch.

Hearing Xu Chongzhi's inquiry, Shen Ning replied: "The humble official naturally knows that as long as the father-in-law wants to, the Dihu Guard can become the most powerful institution in the Great Jin Kingdom, which will make the corrupt officials talk about it and make it difficult to sleep and eat." ”

"Yes, yes, you're really smart, in a word." Xu Chongzhi nodded with a smile and continued: "Since you are a sixth-rank official, you can just get one in the Earth Tiger Guard. Although you are a part-time worker, and Your Majesty will have to return to Xuzhou after his birthday, you can still use the power of the Earth Tiger Guard. The Earth Tiger Guard is not under the jurisdiction of the local government, which is also a good umbrella. Take some time, you let the horse master take you to the Earth Tiger Guard, familiar with it. ”

Shen Ning hurriedly said: "I understand. ”

Subsequently, Shen Ning took his leave and followed an internal official to leave Sanqingguan.

When I came to Qiankun Gate, I saw Princess Changle.

She greeted her and hurriedly asked, "How did my father reward you?" ”

"The official is promoted to the third rank, and the sixth-rank Xiao cavalry captain." Shen Ning trailed.

Changle frowned and snorted: "It's so low, no, I have to go to my father!" Yang Jian's waste is a five-grade official position. ”

Shen Ning hurriedly stopped and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are already very satisfied with your humble position, don't bother Your Majesty." ”

Seeing him squeezing his eyebrows, Princess Changle nodded reluctantly.

After the two left the palace together, when Shen Ning escorted Princess Changle back, he felt that he had to beat Zhao Qingxuan, since ancient times, the pillow wind was the most terrifying, this woman hated herself to death, and she would inevitably wait for an opportunity to retaliate. The imprint on her ass can only serve a temporary effect, it cannot threaten her for a lifetime, and she must be let know her means and abilities, so that she does not dare to act rashly.

Thinking of this, Shen Ning thought about it and decided to use Princess Changle again.

"Hey..."Shen Ning sighed lightly, his brows furrowed.

Although Princess Changle was sitting in the carriage, her eyes did not leave Shen Ning outside, and it could be said that her heart was hanging on Shen Ning. Seeing what he seemed to be worried about, he hurriedly opened the bead curtain and asked softly, "Shen Ning, do you have something to worry about?" Can I help you? ”

Shen Ning squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

Princess Changle said aggrievedly: "You don't believe me? Or are you afraid that I will cause trouble for you? ”

"Princess, don't be angry, I bother you with everything, I feel sorry for it, and it's a trivial matter." Shen Ning explained.

"Your business is my business, I am willing to help you, what is it? I don't want to see you upset. Princess Changle said solemnly.

Sure enough, the women who fell in love were all stupid women, and there was a cliff in front of them, and they all dared to jump forward.

Shen Ning sighed and explained, "When I first met Your Majesty, I met Noble Xuan. Does the princess recognize this girl? ”

"I've heard of it, but I've only seen it twice. Do you know her? Princess Changle asked.

Shen Ning told Zhao Qingxuan's identity, after all, this is not a secret, and at the same time told the grievances between the two, but Shen Ning did not mention the death of Xuanjizi.

After hearing this, Princess Changle said angrily: "This noble Xuan, I really don't know what to do!" Without finding out the facts, you wronged her brother for killing her, which is really unusual. Are you afraid that she will blow her ears in front of my father? ”

Shen Ning nodded, "That's right! Once Your Majesty believes her words and makes a gap with me, will I not fail the princess's kindness to me? ”

"She dares! If she dares to come nonsense, I will never let her go! Princess Changle said angrily.

Shen Ning hurriedly persuaded: "Princess, don't be angry, Your Majesty is caught in the middle, you must not do anything out of the ordinary to Xuan Guiren." If you anger Your Majesty for me, then what face will I have to see the princess and Your Majesty in the future? ”

Princess Changle knew that Shen Ning felt sorry for herself, so she comforted: "I understand your worries, don't worry, I won't mess around, I'll just knock and knock her!" The four favorite concubines all have to give me face, the nobleman she has just risen to, if she doesn't know the height of the sky, she will suffer in the palace. ”

"If the princess doesn't mess around, then I'll be relieved." Shen Ning said with a smile.

Princess Changle beat Zhao Qingxuan, and she also had to cast a mouse trap.

sent Princess Changle back to the princess's mansion, but he didn't expect to meet Yang Jian in front of the mansion.

The eldest son of the dignified Yang family gate valve, waiting for the princess in front of the princess's mansion, is really pitiful, but Yang Jian is so sweet, it is really cool to lick the dog for a while, and it is cool to lick every day.

And verified the sentence: The goddess you kneel and lick, I don't know who to lick again.

"Brother Shen is also there? Where did you and the princess come from? Yang Jian was surprised.

Shen Ning said with a smile: "Your Majesty summoned me, and when I left the palace, I happened to meet the princess, so I escorted the princess back to avoid an assassin attack." ”

Yang Jian was grateful: "Thank you, Brother Shen, when I am away, I am relieved to have you to help me protect the princess." ”

"Yes, you can rest assured that the care is intimate!" Shen Ning said with a smile.

It's a pity that Yang Jian can't understand the meaning of the words.

However, Princess Changle in the carriage heard the unique taste, and at the same time sweetness in her heart, there was some excitement.

After calming down, Princess Changle stepped out of the carriage and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”

Yang Jian said: "Back to the princess, the Black Tiger Gang that assassinated the princess has been uprooted by me, and no one is left." ”

"Who is behind the Black Tiger Gang?" Princess Changle asked again.

Yang Jian hesitated for a moment.

Princess Changle frowned and asked, "Can't you say it?" ”

Yang Jian hurriedly said: "I can say that the person behind the scenes traced is a side of my Yang family, but please rest assured that the princess is not the assassin they instructed, they also collect money to kill, as for who the murderer is, it has not been found yet!" ”

"What? The criminal Black Tiger Gang is actually a branch of your Yang family, your Yang family is known as a scholarly family, and everyone is a clan, and they still do this kind of thing in secret, which really impresses the palace! As for whether the murderer is a disciple of your Yang family, you should explain it to Your Majesty! ”

Princess Changle was so angry that she threw her sleeves away.

Not to mention, Princess Changle's acting skills are okay, but they are not rigorous. She shouldn't have asked who was behind the Black Tiger Gang, was this a flaw?

But it doesn't matter, with Yang Jian's stupidity, he can't hear the problem at all.

This guy is too solid-eyed, he actually told the truth, if he were a normal person, he wouldn't admit it, and he couldn't get dirty water on his body.

If you don't admit it, the emperor and Princess Changle are helpless.

If the Yang family knew that Yang Jian had said everything, they didn't know how they felt, it was really a cheat.
