Chapter 60: The Sixth Guard Opens
Liu Shouyou lay on his back on the Taishi chair, with his feet on the table, and listened to a small official report to him about everything he saw and heard there.
"Let me go? Okay, this kid has a kind. Uh-huh, not bad. When he heard it, he was furious and told him to get out, not angry but happy.
"Boy, although I don't think I'm optimistic about you, I think you can bring me a little surprise, it's up to you."
"He's working now? It's very good, there is a lot of energy, no wonder the emperor wants to use young people, although young people sometimes do things without thinking, but this kind of sharpness is rare, the ministers are old-fashioned, and the sharpness is gone. ”
He muttered to himself as thoughts swirled through his head.
"Send someone into the palace, and let them send those things to Lord Guo quickly. Also, I have found out what the kid is doing here, and he will come back to report to me. Liu Shouyou commanded.
"Shall we continue to investigate after the Lord returns home?" The little official asked.
"No, this is absolutely not good, as long as he takes a step out of the sixth guard, he is not allowed to continue to monitor and eavesdrop, remember, otherwise, I will let you go to the back to cool down."
When the little official heard this, he almost fell apart, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "No need, my lord, the villain is about to become a popsicle, so you don't need to be cool anymore." ”
"Get out of here." Liu Shouyou, who has always been elegant, also learned to scold.
The little official really rolled this time, and was so frightened by Liu Shouyou's words that he even rolled and crawled when he walked.
Besides, I polished the ink and wrote the words "recruitment" on a yellowish letterhead, and then I couldn't write it anymore.
The little girl approached, looked at his words, and said; "Well, you're a bit of an advantage, this character is really beautiful, write a few more words, and I'll keep it when I get back."
Besides, he said: "Sister, you help me train ten masters like you, and I will write as many as you want." ”
"Hmph, this transaction is too much of a loss, don't do it." The little girl snorted, walked back to sit beside the master, and took a sip of wine from a jade bowl.
Besides, he walked in front of Murong Yanran, bowed down and said, "Senior, can you trouble me and help me quickly become a batch of masters, even if it is ten or eight." ”
Murong Yanran shook her head: "Childe, it's not that you don't obey your orders, this really can't be done." I also have a rule that only one person is allowed to pass it on to one person in a generation, and it must not be passed on to outsiders. ”
Besides, he smiled bitterly: "This rule can't be changed?" ”
"No, even if you can, you can't. Although my style is not good, the requirements for choosing an apprentice are very high, and I need young children, and I also need young children with suitable innate endowments, which can be met but not sought. ”
Besides, sighing, of course it's good to start with a doll, but it won't be until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, and the world will have already changed.
originally thought that with Qi Jiguang's help, all problems were solved. The emperor is generous, he pays out of his own pocket, he reimburses him, there is no limit, and the funds are not a problem, but there are no capable personnel, there is no team that can win the battle, what is the use of just a pile of silver?
He is also a rich master, and if he takes out more than one million silver tickets, he can kill a bunch of rich people, but he does not help the task arranged by the emperor at all.
"Isn't there a lay disciple in Wudang? Can you ask for some to come over, even if they haven't learned authentic kung fu, at least they are better than ordinary people, right? "Besides, he became enlightened to Zhou Ding.
"That's okay, they have a foundation, and it's easier to train." Zhou Ding became enlightened.
"Well, this method works, there are lay disciples in all major temples, and they are innocent, and they have nothing to do with our Qinwang faction, and they are not afraid of the court investigating them. There are still a lot of them, but I don't know if people are willing to do it with you. Murong Yanran's expression was a hint of surprise.
"This is indeed a problem, Jinyiwei has a bad reputation outside, especially among the people, the reputation is too bad, and it is really difficult to ask people to join this organization." Zhou Dingcheng suddenly thought of this question.
"Then we need someone to come forward to do the work, they are not for the court, but for me, for me alone." Besides.
"You're going to set up a private army?" Zhou Dingcheng was surprised.
"Of course you can't say that, it's still the sixth guard in the brocade in name, but as long as they are willing to be loyal to me, this brocade guard is different from that brocade guard." Besides, hehe smiled.
The emperor forced him so much, nothing more than to ensure that the open sea ban is foolproof, to put it mildly, this is also for the country's great cause, personally, he has the compassion of a famous doctor, and the great feelings of the country and the nation.
He doesn't have the kind of heroic mentality that would rather me bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me, nor is he the kind of person who has nothing to do with me even if the flood is monstrous after I die.
"I'll go and contact someone right away, see what the top says, and if the north refuses to obey, transfer people from the south." Murong Yanran said.
"One thing to remember, people related to the Qinwang faction are resolutely not allowed to mix sand with me, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face." Besides, gritted his teeth.
He was very disappointed in the Qinwang faction, this huge and secret organization just wanted to protect him, but refused to obey, and plotted to rebel behind his back, where would this put him?
"Okay, I'll get the word on." Murong Yanran hurried away with her apprentice.
"In the Tang Dynasty, there were Shaolin stick monks to help Tang Taizong, and you are going to set up a joint army of monks and Taoists of the Ming Dynasty." Zhou Ding became enlightened.
"It's just a lay disciple, don't have anything to do with the monks." Then he sat down and took another sip of wine.
Liu Shouyou is right, this ghost place is really too yin, and it's not that you can't resist it if you don't drink, but it's always a little uncomfortable.
"Is there no problem with the Wudang Sect?" Besides, he asked.
Zhou Dingcheng didn't say anything, pointing outside.
Besides, only then did I understand that Murong Yanran was gone, and the isolation measures she set up naturally disappeared, and the partition wall had ears.
He called the little official: "Write me a list, give me this house to be completely soundproofed, do it within three days, and I will accept it when the time comes, if you set off a cannon in the house, you can hear a little sound outside, you will give me to Lord Liu to experience life." ”
"Yes, sir." This time, the little official went straight down.
After the little official went out, Zhou Dingcheng walked to the side and whispered: "He is Liu Shouyou's person, and he went there to report just now." ”
Besides, he understood: "It doesn't matter, now you have to see these people as someone else's eyeliner, whether it is Liu Shouyou or the emperor." ”
"Do you want to blow him away?"
"No, that's worse, it's better to calculate." Besides.
The morning passed leisurely, Zhou Dingcheng sat and drank, but he was thinking about where to buy fine wine, he had many ways to buy the best aging wine, anyway, the silver was out, he was not distressed at all.
Besides, he just wrote on paper, and he didn't write anything important, just transcribed Tang poems and Song lyrics.
He found that when he wrote, his mind was not only clear, but his brain also rotated faster, this state of mind was very good, and Wang Yangming should have been in this state of mind when he was surrounded by enemies. However, his current situation is worse than Wang Yangming, after all, Wang Yangming can still dispatch some people, but he is the commander of the light pole.
At this time, the guards were already on guard around the house, and even the clerks had to check the entry and exit, and they only had the commander and the safety of the adults in their eyes, and they didn't care about anything else.
At noon, besides, he and Zhou Dingcheng went to a nearby restaurant with their guards to eat, and happened to meet Liu Shouyou, who was also dining.
"Well, my lord, it's good to start working so soon." Liu Shouyou took a sip of the wine in the cup, and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his mouth from time to time.
"No way, brother, I'm a hard-working person, I'm not more blessed than Lord Liu."
"Blessed am I? If you sit in my position for a few days, you'll understand. Liu Shouyou seemed to have a stomach full of bitter water to pour out.
Besides, I don't want to talk to him more, this guy looks amiable, but the means of hitting people are too superb, and besides, he has been beaten all morning, and I really don't want to learn anymore.
"This is your grandfather, congratulations."
"Congratulations, my lord, you are the one who received the money, do you have a treat?"
The tables upstairs were all Liu Shouyou's subordinates, all of whom were of high rank, and when they saw it, they all came to congratulate him and slaughter him again.
"Okay, no problem, no matter how much this meal is, I'll settle the bill, everyone can order it at will, Lord Liu, when will my money be in place?" Besides, he asked.
"Well, you have to make a budget first, and then report it to the celebrant for approval, and the emperor can only receive the silver after signing it." Liu Shou has a way.
"Looks like I'll have to pay out of my own pocket." Besides, I was not happy.
"My lord, you are content, you can let the emperor pay for your own pocket." Liu Shouyou's deputy smiled.
"Since this lord is so optimistic about me, why don't we change it?" Besides.
The man's hurried head shook a rattle: "If you don't change it, I won't change it even if my brain is broken, I really can't do your business." ”
The other person smiled and said, "I would like to exchange with Lord Guo, but unfortunately the emperor will not agree." You are a young talent, you have a sharp spirit, this is what the emperor appreciated, heroes are teenagers, I saw it today. ”
Everyone looked at it, and they all felt a little incredible, it is not uncommon for young people to be officials, but they are all idle official positions, for example, there is a generation of Yan Shenggong, that is, the descendants of Confucius, who attacked the knighthood at the age of nine, and followed the court every day, but the threshold could not be crossed, and every time Yang Yiqing held him over the threshold.
Emperor Yingzong was very fond of this Yan Shenggong, and often held him on his knees and coaxed him to play.
But Yan Sheng Gong is just a title, he doesn't have any position, and he doesn't have to do anything, as long as he honestly enjoys the glory and wealth.
Besides, it's different, he has to do practical things, and it's the hardest thing in the world.
When everyone thought of this, they also felt the same situation from their hearts, and they were in the same situation, poor boy, how did they offend the emperor and suffer such torture.
Thinking about it further, everyone sweated for him, and felt that the eighteen kinds of torture in the edict seemed to be beckoning to him.
