"Look at the meal today, and get the lottery!"

The little emperor was served by Xiao Lizi, took off his "big clothes", and said happily.

Today, Xiao Lizi has another "messenger", he did not go to Zhongcui Palace with the little emperor to see the food, he untied the buttons with his hands and feet, and said with a smile: "That slave wants to congratulate the Lord for Long Live!" I think it's long live the holy study of the Holy Spirit, and the Queen Mother greatly praised it? ”

The little emperor's face sank slightly, and he said, "'Sacred learning diligent'? Fart! Where is it so easy? ”

After a pause, he said: "Huang Eniang said, now there is more and more homework, so I don't have to go over every day to see the meal, well, just go every other day!" You say, from now on, aren't you at ease? ”

Xiao Lizi muttered in his heart: What is this called "color head"? Seeing food is the filial piety of being a son, reducing the number of times you see food, you are so excited, so that others can hear it, how do you think of you as an emperor?

At the same time, he was also a little strange: last time, the queen mother caught the little emperor "skipping school", Ciyan was angry, and the people around the little emperor were very taken aback, and he was slapped twenty times, and Guilian and Wang Erxi in Changchun Palace were originally irrelevant, and they were also punished for two months. This harsh remark made it clear that it was necessary to strengthen the discipline of the little emperor, why, within a few days, the number of times the little emperor visited the meal was reduced by half? Isn't that even more hands-free?

These "belly slanders" will naturally not be written on his face, but he does not dare to echo the words of the little emperor, otherwise, people will listen to them. He's a close attendant. It is to "instigate the emperor". More seriously, it is not unusual to wear a hat of "separating mother and son" - for eunuchs, it is a crime of killing the head!

He changed the topic and said in a deliberately low voice: "There is good news here for the minion, and the long-lived master of the custody has heard it, and he is even more awake!" ”

The little emperor's eyes lit up: "You say!" ”

Xiao Lizi looked out the window and pouted.

Under the window porch. There is a hidden figure.

The little emperor understood, stretched his tone, and said loudly: "The people outside have avoided it!" ”

The footsteps were chaotic, and the eunuchs and palace maids outside walked away one after another.

"Let's talk about it!"

"The slave found a familiar guard, and he said it, long live the matter of the palace of the lord, he ...... May it be the force of death. ”

The little emperor's eyes widened all at once, and his nostrils widened. I was so excited that I opened it suddenly.

"What? Good! What is the name of this guard? Where to be on an errand? ”

"His surname is Xu. is called Xu Baotian, who is on an errand in Shenwumen. ”

"Shenwu Gate?" The little emperor's eyes lit up, "Good, good!" ”

The pattern of the Forbidden City is bounded by the Qianqing Gate, the inner court in the north, and the outer court in the south. The four gates of the Forbidden City, the east is the Donghua Gate, the west is the Xihua Gate, the south is the Wumen Gate, and the north is the Shenwu Gate, which, strictly speaking, the Donghua Gate should be regarded as the "Southeast Gate", and the Xihua Gate should be regarded as the "Southwest Gate".

Needless to say, the noon gate is even more important.

Among the four gates of the Forbidden City, the Shenwu Gate is the closest to the inner court, as soon as the Shunzhen Gate of the north gate of the Imperial Garden, the Shenwu Gate is in sight, between the Shunzhen Gate and the Shenwu Gate, there is no shelter, only an open space paved with blue striped stones.

Eunuchs go out of the palace to do business, and under normal circumstances, they all go to the Shenwu Gate; The palace maids who can't leave the palace can meet their families in the open space between the Shenwu Gate and the Shunzhen Gate, but the weather is not good, and they can enter the east and west long rooms on the east and west sides of the Shenwu Gate. Therefore, the four gates of the Forbidden City, the complexity of entering and exiting the product flow, with the Shenwu Gate as the most.

If the little emperor wants to get out of the palace, among the four gates of the Forbidden City, needless to say, the Shenwu Gate is the easiest to get out.

In the other three gates, Xiao Lizi is a eunuch, and he is not subject to special orders, and he will never be able to go to the noon gate; There must be a very special reason for going to Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate, and since the reason is special, the inventory must be particularly strict.

Not to mention this layer, just to say that the east, west, and south gates are so far away from the inner court, how to safely walk through this large section of the road is an extremely headache.

Xiao Lizi smiled "hehe": "This surnamed Xu, if he hadn't been on an errand in Shenwumen, the slave wouldn't have gotten around him." ”

"Xu ...... Hoda? Listening to the name, it seems to be a ...... Han? ”

"Yes."

"So, he's from a martial arts background."

"Yes, he's...... Uh, that's right, the top three of the Non Xue family. ”

The guards of the Forbidden City, commonly known as the "Great Inner Guards", were completely filled by the children of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners at the beginning of the country, and there was not a single Han person, and there were very few Han military flags. However, later, this rule was slowly loosened, not only with the Han military flag, but even Han people, but the number was limited and the proportion was very low, and it was clearly stipulated that they were all selected from the Wujin scholars.

"Nonxu Branch...... the little emperor muttered, "It was the first year of Tongzhi...... Well, what is this Xu Baotian's position now? ”

"Long live the Lord, Lan Ling guard."

"Oh? That is, it has been five years, and I haven't moved a single nest. ”

The rank of the guards is divided into four classes, first class guards, second class guards, third class guards, and blue feather guards. Wu Jinshi was born as a guard, and one of the first-class guards, that is, "Wu Zhuangyuan", was awarded a first-class guard; the second and third, namely "Wu Bangyan" and "Wu Tanhua", are awarded second-class guards; Those who are selected as guards from the second class will be awarded the third-class guards; Those who were born in the top three and chose to be guards were awarded the Blue Feather guards.

Xu Baotian was born in the top three, and when he entered the palace, he was naturally the last Lan Ling guard, and five years later, he was still a Lan Ling guard, but didn't he "never move a single nest"?

Xiao Lizi smiled "hehe" and said: "Shengming is just long live the master, this surname Xu is precisely because he is not satisfied, so he ...... Hey, hey, this, strive to be motivated. ”

The little emperor was slightly stunned, then understood what he meant, and scolded with a smile: "It's just you!" What benefits did you have for this Xu Baotian? ”

"How dare a slave call the shots? It was brought up by the man surnamed Xu, and he said......"

After a pause, Xiao Li Zi looked at the little emperor's face and said cautiously: "Please...... After the emperor took office, he rewarded him with a first-class guard. ”

"What?" The little emperor's eyes widened again, "First-class guards? ”

"Uh, yes."

"How is that possible? He, a martial artist, is only from a third-class background, and he is a Han man, how can he be a first-class guard? He doesn't know the rules? So confused, no wonder, after five years of mixing, he is still a Blue Feather guard, hum! ”

Xiao Li Zi was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "The slave only has a word, if you say it, you can't help but know the height of the sky, long live the lord......"

"Don't be verbose, you say!"

"Yes, minion...... It's presumptuous. ”

After a pause, Xiao Lizi said: "Leaving the palace, if you miss the stuffing, long live the lord...... Hehe, but he was scolded by the Queen Mother, the slave and this guy surnamed Xu, the guy on his neck, but he moved. The life of the slave is long live the master, there is nothing to say, this surname Xu, hehe, in his own words, 'To do this errand, is to pin his head to the waistband of his trousers', the benefits are not enough, people, hehe, how can you ...... Take your life out and sell it? ”

The little emperor rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything.

Xiao Lizi smiled again and said, "As for the rules...... Hehe, long live the words, isn't it the rule? Long live the government, who is happy to reward a first-class guard, is there anyone who dares to make noise? ”

"You don't understand," the little emperor shook his head, "this kind of thing, it's not that simple!" But ......"

"However" is a play.

"Long live the ......"

"Don't interrupt, let me think about it."

Xiao Lizi stopped talking.

The little emperor raised his head, pondered, and after a while, his face gradually showed joy.

"There it is! A Han man from the top three in martial arts can't be a first-class guard, but I can let him out! ”

"Let him out" means to be an official in a local area, and of course, to be a military attaché.

"The first-class guard is not the same as the first-class guard," the little emperor said with great interest, "The first-class guard from the Eight Banners can be a deputy general when released, if he is a Han Chinese, even if he is a 'martial champion', he is awarded a first-class guard, and if he is released, he can only be a general." ”

After a pause, he said: "You tell the surnamed Xu, I promised him that the mission will be done, and in the future, he will be replaced by a deputy general according to the first-class guard from the Eight Banners!" When the time comes, he will be majestic on all sides! Then, isn't it better to be a first-class guard in the capital, and when you see a prince Beizi, you have to beat Qian'er to ask An Qiang? Besides, the deputy general's salary is not comparable to a first-class guard! ”

Xiao Li Zi said with a dazzled smile: "Long live Lord Shengming!" Xu Baotian is brave and loyal, and it goes without saying that he is driving! ”
