When soon after, the gradually growing embroidered guards were the first to strike and began to set off monstrous waves on the entire Han world, everyone really realized how terrible the power it contained.

At the same time, there are many people who can't understand Changle Hou Yuanzhao's support for embroidery and clothing in the initial stage. Among them, there are many of his friends. Among them is the crown prince Liu Ju.

"Brother Yuan, I heard from the subordinates of the East Palace that the rapid growth of the embroidered clothes guard is probably not a good thing...... What's more, that Jiang Chong is not easy to match. When he saw him several times by his father's side, although his attitude was respectful, the flickering in his eyes showed that this person was scheming and not a good person...... Brother Yuan, why do you want to associate with such a character? ”

"Prince, if you want to be a benevolent emperor in the future, go in that direction. Appoint virtuous people and take over good ones...... As for the rest of these scheming changes, I'll take care of it for you...... Hehe! ”

The crown prince Liu Ju was very grateful in his heart, and left with absolute trust in Yuan Zhao, and never asked about such a thing again. And when on another occasion, several people who were both important allies in the court and very close to them in private also asked this question, Yuan Zhao's answer was a little different.

"Your Majesty first set up an inner court and personally handled the military affairs of the world, causing the three princes and nine secretaries to be like a fictitious one, greatly concentrating the power in their hands. Now the royal guards such as embroidered clothes guards are set up, and their intentions are self-evident...... I'm afraid I don't have to wait too long, the position of the emperor has really become the only one in the world! Is this a blessing or a curse for the subjects under his rule? Didn't Yuanhou seriously think about it? ”

When Dongfang Shuo asked such words, there was a very little light in his eyes. To be able to speak to such an extent is extremely rare for him. If it weren't for the person who could entrust his life, he would never have said it. Because once it leaks out, this is a rebellious crime of raiding the house and destroying the door!

Yuan Zhao, Sima Xiangru, the final army, are here. They are certainly good friends and like-minded people you can absolutely trust. Yuan Zhao will not hide his true intentions in front of them.

"The Han army cut off the captives and subdued the neighbors. And within the territory, the prestige of Weiyang Palace has reached its peak. Under the situation at that time, what did the emperor want to do, could he be stopped as a courtier? He wants to form an embroidered guard to replace Xifengwei, but he just wants to hone a knife that is more capable of use. In this case, this knife is in the stage of sharpening its edge, why can't we use it......? Hehe! ”

Even if he had vaguely known some of the ambitions in Yuan Zhao's heart, he had long been aware of them. But the conversation that night still shocked and touched everyone present.

As for what exactly was discussed, no one leaked half a sentence to the outside world. But from that time on, although there was no formal formation of any forces, a loose alliance centered on Yuan Zhao working towards a common goal basically took shape.

In the years to come, they will work hand in hand, fearless of hardships and dangers, indomitable and unrelenting. This matter has nothing to do with glory and wealth, personal honor and disgrace, and no ambition...... What is done is just the well-being of the common people, the peace of the world, and that's it!

“…… Isn't it a matter of counting in one fell swoop to use this knife to cut off some of the slanted branches attached to the towering trees? We are all important ministers in the court, and some things that are inconvenient to do, oh, leave it to the commander of the embroidered clothes guard to do it, it is very suitable! ”

This is the real purpose of Yuan Zhao!

As for whether the embroidered clothes guard will become a place to be feared in the future, Yuan Zhao is not too worried. Could it be that with the huge influence he has accumulated in all aspects over the years, he still can't subdue this little evil dragon?!

Of course, all these things happened after the kings were in Chang'an. At that time, Yuan Zhao was not thinking about this. In the Embroidered Clothes Guard, this young marquis, who had nothing to do, guessed the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor who was summoning the kings of the Western Regions at the Hanyuan Palace, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. And falling into the eyes of a group of carefully serving embroidered guards, it became even more mysterious.

Yuan Zhao's guess was not wrong at all. Emperor Liu Che, who sat high on the throne of the Nine Dragons Imperial Rank, looked down on the dozens of foreign kings he had met, and completed the whole process with a majestic and generous attitude.

The grand reception banquet held in Weiyang Palace was naturally very rich. All civil and military officials participated, and His Majesty the Emperor was personally present from beginning to end, which can be described as very grand.

The Han Emperor's kind words and such a warm reception made the kings from the Western Regions finally feel at ease. While enjoying a variety of delicious dishes, someone finally asked a question that had been held in his heart for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, dare to ask why you haven't seen Changle Hou Yuanzhao since you entered Chang'an?"

There was a moment of silence in the lively scene. Although some of the civil and military officials present were not aware of what happened in the royal Shanglin Yuan of Zhongnan Mountain, some of the close ministers who accompanied them at that time knew. Hearing such a question, I couldn't help but stop the ongoing feast at the same time. When someone secretly looked at the emperor's face, they saw that he looked indifferent and didn't seem to care.

"The kings have come from afar, and it has been very hard. Don't ask too much about some small things...... Come, I will give you another cup to express my gratitude to the kings and the sincerity of the great Han. ”

He is the emperor, and naturally no one dares to refute what he said. Although the kings of the Western Regions were a little puzzled in their hearts, it was inconvenient to ask more. Only raise a glass and drink together, thank the kindness of Emperor Dahan's hospitality.

The feast and hospitality in Weiyang Palace was only the beginning of this grand event. In the next few days, there will be many events, military events, business cooperation, and all kinds of exchanges...... In particular, the countries of the Western Regions expressed their sincerity in expressing obedience to the Han Dynasty, which is an important ingredient in it. The relevant ministers of the court and their own divisions are busy here.

After the banquet, Emperor Liu Che, who was a little thoughtful in his heart, did not go back to Shuyu Palace to comfort Li Wanyu, nor did he go to any of the favored concubines and beauties. Under the escort of a few close ministers and a large number of Yulin troops, the place he went to was still the west terrace of Ganquan Palace.

The wide robe slowly brought the dashing Luan Immortal Master, respectfully welcoming the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor. The ashram is still the ashram, and the people are still the same people. It's just that this time is a little different from the previous ones.

Luan Xinyu quietly glanced at the commander of the embroidered guard who came in. Last time, this young man was just a retinue of the favored minister Dong Yan, but this time he actually followed the emperor a few steps away. After coming in, he stood left and right with Han Yan and stood at the door.

Needless to say, no need to ask, the shrewd person has already seen Jiang Chong's rising position in the emperor's mind. This is really a veritable step to the sky, and the clouds are soaring!

After congratulating the emperor, Luan Xinyu personally held the white jade plate in his hand, presenting one of the second batch of elixirs that had just been refined. The color of this one is different from the first one. The color is yellowish, with a faint bitter fragrance.

Emperor Liu Che was now very convinced of him, and after hearing about the method of taking it and the skill of spitting and guiding after entering the stomach, he drank it on the spot with greater expectations.

"Your Majesty can calm down for half an hour later, so that it is easier to absorb the essence of this elixir, and the effect will be better."

In such a major event of seeking immortality, the emperor is naturally sloppy. Eliminate all distractions and concentrate on closing your eyes and recuperating your mind. Half an hour later, when he opened his eyes and took a deep breath, he felt as if a light breath had risen from his chest and abdomen, and his limbs and body were very comfortable.

"Well, if I can be like this all the time, I will have to take advantage of it...... It's just a pity that there have been a lot of things lately, ah! But I'm a little impatient! ”

"Your Majesty has any worries, you might as well tell me about it. Maybe it will be of some use."

The quiet room was peaceful, and no one interjected. Everyone was standing around, only Luan Immortal Master and the emperor were sitting opposite each other, and their expressions were peaceful. This kind of treatment can be said to be unparalleled in the world!

The emperor shook his head slightly, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although he trusts the few people around him now, he can sort it out. There are some things that are only suitable for being in the heart and adjudicating alone!

At the banquet in Weiyang Palace, although he did not answer the questions of the kings of the Western Regions, it did not mean that he would not think of anything in his heart.

Yuan Zhao's influence seems to be a little too great! Even the King of the Western Regions would ask about his whereabouts in such a tone and demeanor, which showed that his prestige in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions had reached an extremely high level. It's time for him to rein in his edge.

Thinking of several incidents in which Yuan Zhao had the audacity to kill people wantonly, the emperor finally made up his mind at this moment.

"Jiang Chong, after you go back, tell Yuan Zhao that in the recent period, let him stay in the embroidered clothes guard. No one can let him go without my orders! Did you hear me clearly? ”

The commander of the embroidered guard shocked his heart, but his face did not show any abnormality. Hurriedly bowed down to answer the order. But then he asked softly in a tentative tone.

"Your Majesty, ...... eldest princess?"

"Leave her alone. Since she was willing to take care of him over there, she would be fine. ”

"Yes. Your Majesty, I understand the humble position. There is another matter for the embroidered guards recently, please ask Your Majesty for approval. ”

"Oh, let's hear it."

The Emperor was feeling refreshed and in a good mood. He looked at the young man he had just discovered and promoted, and wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Your Majesty, the humble duty has been greatly blessed by the grace of God, and I feel that I have no way to repay it...... Now that the four realms are mighty and bow down in the sea, there is not much use for the embroidered clothes guard, and I am deeply ashamed...... Jiang Chong is willing to receive the order, and personally lead the embroidered guards to sweep the rivers and lakes, get rid of the crumbs, and do his part for His Majesty! ”

As soon as Jiang Chong said this, the commander of Xifengwei, who had arranged a guard outside the door, clenched the handle of his sword, and his eyes were full of light.

After tomorrow, the storm will rise, and the dragon will fight. The rivers and lakes in the territory of the Han Dynasty are inevitably bloody and bloody for tens of millions of people.
