Chapter Ninety-Three: The Empress's Internal Guard
Lotus ponds?
Pei Min was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the Zhan family brothers and sisters, his eyes became more and more fierce.
He has been living in this Liangzhou Governor's Mansion for several months, and he naturally knows everything in the mansion well.
There was indeed a lotus pond in the governor's palace, and he knew that the water of the pond led to the canal in the city, but he never regarded it as a hidden danger, because the lotus pond was at a certain distance from the canal in the city.
It is impossible for ordinary people to enter the mansion through the diversion road.
But it is clear that the siblings are not ordinary people.
"Who the hell are you?"
Gongsun You said that they were strange people, but did not reveal their identities and origins.
But he knows that this brother and sister are not ordinary charlatans.
The means and skills they possess are by no means the roosters and dogs on the rivers and lakes.
Compared with the thieves who broke into the house over the wall, the methods of the brothers and sisters of the Zhan family are more like the agents in later movies.
Feeling the momentum on Pei Min's body, Zhan Ru and Zhan Xue had a feeling of tightness in their chests.
Zhan Ru calmed down, stepped forward and said, "Have you heard of the internal guard?" ”
Pei Min's pupils shrank, and he responded: "Of course I heard it!" Back then, the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Inner Guard were terrifying existences. There is a saying that it is better to meet the Lord of Yama than to see the inner guard; After being summoned by the internal guards, the next step is almost to enter the Imperial Historical Observatory. Unfortunately, I have worked in the Imperial Historical Observatory, and I have also read some of the previous files of the Imperial Historical Observatory. admires the ability of the internal guard to go to heaven and earth. ”
The guard system is the crystallization of the government military system, and the Tang Dynasty also derived twelve guard generals according to the government military system.
Decades ago, Wu Zetian usurped Tang Jianzhou and modified the twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty, among which she privately established an internal guard organization. It is to investigate and punish the corrupt officials who violate the law and the law and those who do not conform to Wu Zetian's wishes. Many ministers and royalty were terrified. There are many members of the internal guard, and they act very secretly, which is the same as the nature of the brocade guards and agents in later generations.
The film and television dramas of the 21st century feel that the inner guard is not good, so they specially added the title of plum blossom and called it the plum blossom inner guard.
In fact, there is no plum blossom internal guard at all, and the internal guard is not set up for good sound.
That is a big weapon in Wu Zetian's hands that is as famous as the Yushitai, if the Yushitai is a bloody knife, then the internal guard is Wu Zetian's eyes and ears.
It's just that with the fall of Wu Zetian, the internal guard natural tree has fallen and scattered.
Zhan Ru smiled bitterly: "I'll really investigate it, it's the remnants of the internal guard!" Shenlong coup, Empress Wu returned to power Li Tang, Yushitai and Neiwei were purged successively. The internal guard is different from the Goshidai, which is in the open place, and no one is spared when it is purged. But we were mostly in the shadows, and most of us survived. Some of the huge internal guards were absorbed by Princess Taiping, and some were unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the court and the temple, so they lurked and became the people. ”
Pei Min suddenly remembered "Yan Ting" lurking in his mansion and asked, "Then which part do you belong to?" ”
Zhan Ru said: "In fact, this is a matter of the ancestors, as the younger generations, how can we have this choice." His father, Zhanpeng, is the head of the internal guard and is responsible for the training of the internal guard. When the inner guard was purged, he lurked. came to Chang'an and became a citizen. ”
"It's hidden in the city, this trick is clever!" Pei Min praised it, the headquarters of the internal guard is in Luoyang, and Zhanpeng chose to come to Chang'an to lurk, but it means that the lights are dark.
"My father has also lived a stable life all these years, and in addition to training our brothers and sisters, he is a comfortable people. Training our brother and sister is not to follow his old path, but he is worried that what should come will always come, and in case of an accident, our brother and sister will not be left without the strength to fight back. His father is the best commander of the internal guards, and eighty percent of the internal guards are trained by him. Our brother and sister have been trained by our father since childhood, and we are particularly good at stealing, listening to news, stealing intelligence, disguise, tracking, and counter-tracking, and we will definitely be able to become the assistants of the national prince. ”
Zhan Ru said, bowing to Pei Min.
Zhan Xue also followed.
Pei Min looked at the brother and sister, and was really moved.
With Pei Min's perception of martial arts, Zhan Ru and Zhan Xue found out when they were close to a window within five steps of him. The other was even more because his sister was injured and showed something unusual, which made him realize that the two brothers and sisters did show extraordinary strength in lurking.
Pei Min believes that if it weren't for him today, Zhan Ru and Zhan Xue would have a great chance of success in this operation.
How many Pei Min in this world can sabotage their brother and sister's actions?
Pei Min invited the two to his study.
Let them sit down by themselves, see that the words they had written before were missing on the case, smile slightly, and make a pot of tea for the brother and sister respectively.
After he sat down in his place, he said: "I won't tell you anything, I am indeed moved, and your ability will be of great use to me!" But you also know that your abilities are a double-edged sword, and you can hurt your enemies as well as yourself. Miss Yu is my unmarried wife, and I have no reasonable trust in her, but you, sorry, we have too little contact with you, and I don't know anything about you. Miss Yu understands your hardships and does not reveal your identity and background. But if you want to be trusted, you still have a little bit of a lack of strength just by showing it. After all, I am not in the rivers and lakes, but in the temple. Whether it is a confrontation between two armies or a confrontation between political enemies, it is a matter of life and death. Not only my own life and death, but also thousands of soldiers, parents, wives and children, are all closely related. ”
"Your identity is special, your ability is special, if I can't understand you, I don't worry about using it myself, even if you stay, you won't be happy to stay."
"I take the liberty of asking, why do you still want to go out of the mountain when you have already lived a normal life? With your status, it's not easy to quit. If you have returned, why should you come back? ”
Zhan Ru didn't expect Pei Min to ask, so he asked the key question, and secretly called the stakes, but also knew that he couldn't help answering, and said with a bitter face: "As Guogong said, my father's identity is special, and it is really not easy to quit." ”
Pei Min can understand this, no matter how powerful a soldier is, he is always a soldier, and Zhanpeng is a general who trains soldiers, just like Bole who is not common.
Zhan Ru continued: "During the years that my father was hiding in Chang'an, the people looking for him have not stopped, and Princess Taiping even gave him the position of Long Kang. After the internal guard was incorporated by Princess Taiping, it was named after the Qinglong Seven Residences, which were horns, kang, di, fang, heart, tail, and kei, and the dragon was the throat, which was a very high treatment. However, his father hid it very well, even Princess Taiping was powerful all over the world, and he could not find his father's whereabouts. It wasn't until Princess Taiping was removed by His Majesty today, and the Qinglong Qisu was disbanded with it, that his father relaxed. I really don't want Qinglong Qisu to be disbanded, because of carelessness, my father's identity was exposed, which caused the disaster of killing. It was the eldest mother who helped in times of crisis and saved my father, mother, and our brothers and sisters! ”
