Chapter 31: Hands and feet are sharp

"Feng Jun!"

Empress Zhang's lips opened slightly, and she shouted, and the eunuch in Tsing Yi, who reported to her in Kunning Palace in the morning about the new emperor's entry into the palace, appeared behind her.

"This person's name is Feng Jun, he is the head of the hidden guard in the palace, before the emperor's great trip, he personally handed over the hidden guard to me, and said that when His Majesty ascended the throne, this hidden guard will be returned to the emperor!"

Empress Zhang pointed at the eunuch and said, "Even before, I didn't know that there was such a force guarding the emperor in the palace. ”

"What is a hidden guard?"

Zhu Youzhen looked at the other party with some curiosity, for him, this was an unexpected good thing.

"After the martyrdom of Chengzu, the capital was moved to the capital, in order to clear the court, at that time from Nanjing brought a group of loyal and available people from the inner court, guarding the palace, because it was not exposed in broad daylight, so that many rebels with a heart of unsubjugation could not be prevented, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and then formed a regular routine, every time from the selection of young children who first entered the palace, gathered famous teachers, practiced congenital children's martial arts, and when they became adults, they were entrusted with idle duties in the palace, hidden in the palace, and were hidden guards!"

The leader of the hidden guard replied respectfully: "If the emperor is here, defend the emperor, if the emperor is dead, protect the emperor and queen!" ”

Zhu Youzhen's heart moved: "How many people are there in this hidden guard?" ”

"Seventy-six available, thirty-four on standby!"

There are only about a hundred people, Zhu Youzhen was slightly disappointed, but he immediately thought about it in his heart, and became happy again, this is the most valuable wealth left by the first emperor, although there are few people, but loyal, and it sounds like martial arts are still very good.

"One last question!"

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and raised a finger: "Does Wei Zhongxian know about your existence?" ”

Feng Jun glanced at Empress Zhang and did not answer, but the meaning was quite obvious.

Even if he was as expensive as the queen, the first emperor was not about to die, and he didn't tell the queen about such things, and Wei Zhongxian was just a house slave, how could he tell him.

"The hidden guard without its secrecy is worthless!"

As if he was afraid that Zhu Youzhen would be displeased, Feng Jun explained: "The hidden guard is the last barrier around the emperor, and the purpose of survival is to protect the emperor's safety. ”

He looked at Gao Han and the others not far away in order not to hear the emperor and the queen mother talking: "If it is not necessary, the ministers hope that His Majesty's close attendants will not know!" ”

"Minister?"

Zhu Youzhen raised his eyebrows.

"For generations, ministers have not been slaves, but retainers!"

Feng Jun stood up straight and made a great salute to Zhu Youzhen: "Since becoming an ancestor, all those who have been selected for the hidden guard have been freed from slavery, grown up in the palace, and died in the palace!" ”

This is the greatest courtesy that the emperor gives to these hidden guards who are already disabled, and Zhu Youzhen understands in his heart that with this, it is worth these people to entrust everything they have to the emperor's family.

"The Queen Mother is here, you have to send more people to take care of it, beware of traitors from harming you!"

Zhu Youzhen nodded, and directly ordered the other party in the master's tone: "Over there in the Qianqing Palace, it is the time to employ people, if it is inconvenient to show up, you must arrange people to wait around!" ”

"It has been arranged, Your Majesty is at ease!"

"Your existence, and my guard commander want to say, there are too few people available at the moment, if you hurt your own people because of a misunderstanding, it is not worth it!"

Zhu Youzhen pointed to Gao Han: "How to transfer personnel, which ones are available, one of you is in the light, the other is in the dark, communicate with each other, and each is responsible for it!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Gao Han looked at Zhu Youzhen inexplicably and pointed at him, and said something to the eunuch beside the Queen Mother, the eunuch looked at him, and saluted Zhu Youzhen, he didn't know what was going on, but seeing the corner of Zhu Youzhen's mouth involuntarily showing a smile, he knew that this was not a bad thing.

"Let's use it for dinner in Kunning Palace, at least, Your Majesty doesn't have to eat the food and drink water brought in from outside the palace!"

Empress Zhang saw that she was done with business, and said with a smile, a dignified emperor, eating dry food in the palace, it is too miserable to say it, and on the first day of entering the palace, how can you let the emperor eat hot food in the palace.

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Youzhen smiled awkwardly and glanced at Feng Jun, needless to say, this must be the credit of the hidden guard, otherwise, how could the queen know such a secret thing.

"Of the six young eunuchs transferred by His Majesty from Shangshan Supervisor, one of them has been selected as a hidden guard and is being trained!"

Feng Jun knew the meaning of this glance, and immediately explained: "Before Your Majesty came to Kunning Palace, the hidden guard followed the will of the first emperor and guarded the emperor, so naturally he had to report to the emperor and queen in every detail!" ”

This means that since the command of this hidden guard has been handed over, it is natural that the hidden guard will serve the new master in the future, but you can't blame us for what happened before this.

"Gao Han!"

Zhu Youzhen touched his nose a little embarrassed, he didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, anyway, the matter of the hidden guard, let Feng Jun and Gao Han say that they should know, Gao Han will definitely let him know.

Although this hidden guard is the power left by the first emperor, but, in his heart, he does not doubt their loyalty, but he still believes more in the few people he brought into the palace.

"The minister is here!"

"Tell the superintendent of Shang Shan to pass on the meal! I had dinner with the Queen Mother at Kunning Palace today. ”

Gao Han nodded, walked out, and commanded a few little eunuchs who were waiting outside: "Your Majesty has passed the meal!" ”

"Pass the meal!"

"Pass the meal!"

When the voice of the meal was heard by the Shang Shan supervisor, Chen Zheng had just put a plate of sweet and sour fish in his hand into the plate, and when he heard this cry, he trembled in his hand: "So fast!" ”

I can't think about why the emperor passed the meal so early, anyway, when Gao Han left, he remembered what he said very clearly.

"How much have we done, how much can we do now!"

"We have made thirteen of the sixteen hot dishes, and two are simmering, and the sixteen cold dishes have all been prepared, four plates of dried fruits, and four small plates, ready to serve at any time!"

"First, first, a few of you have a little bit in your hands, there will be a while to try the food, you will have time!"

With his order, this small partition in the Shangshan prison was very busy, outside the partition, the large and small imperial chefs, one by one, were free, but they were staring at each other with big eyes, and they didn't understand what their own prison head was crazy about today, and they were so busy that they didn't even need to go up to help.

The food boxes were loaded one by one and sent out, and the aging was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and it was not until he was busy with the last dish that he threw away the spoon in his hand, and his whole body was paralyzed.

I don't know when, outside his small imperial kitchen partition, there were four more heavily armed guards, and Chen Jiu looked at each other and barely squeezed out a smile.

Nima, that Gao Han is really not joking, he directly sent someone to stare at it, if he is really not satisfied with the food over there, this is going to cut off his own head! Chen Ke looked at the fat man in front of him expressionlessly, Gao Han's order was very clear, the four of them came to Shangshan Prison, stared at the prepared meal box, and then handed it over to the eunuch who came to get the food box, from the box to the delivery to Kunning Palace, the food box was not allowed to leave their sight.

After it is over, the two of them will be left in the Shang Shan Prison, and once there is a problem with the food box, the eunuch of the Shang Shan Prison will be killed on the spot.
