Chapter 156: The Sword of the Son of Heaven
In front of Yanfu Palace, a group of chamberlains came with a young official in a red robe.
The young man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slender figure, and the jade tree was in the wind, and the palace people knew from a distance that it was Zhao Hao, a doctor from Taizhong and a general of Xuanwei, who was here.
The Beijing official who can enter the palace is already young and promising, and there is no one like Zhao Hao who has not even reached the age of a weak crown.
What's more, this guy is calm and relaxed, and his demeanor is like entering his own backyard, even if his husband Cai Jing enters the palace, he is not so leisurely, who else can there be except Zhao Hao.
Even if it is the inner servant beside him, if it is someone else, he obviously has a bit of surveillance beside him, but next to Zhao Hao, he is more just guarding and leading the way.
Entered the palace gate, crossed the palace, crossed the pavilions and water pavilions, passed a small stone arch bridge, and was about to arrive at the Ninghe Hall where Zhao Ji was, and suddenly Zhao Hao's eyes were in the afterglow, and he saw a pavilion not far away, a girl was lying on the white marble guardrail, looking at the water surface in the lotus pond, and unconsciously turned her head to take a look.
Over there, the girl also looked up, and the two of them met with each other.
The girl looked at him for a long time, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Brother Hao! ”
It's Zhao Fujin!
Zhao Hao smiled slightly, waved his hand over there, Zhao Fujin smiled like a flower, waved at him vigorously, left the guardrail, and seemed to be about to leave the pavilion and run over.
Zhao Hao pointed in the direction of Ninghe Palace, Zhao Fujin understood, returned to the guardrail, and waved at him while lying on the railing.
When Zhao Hao was about to arrive in front of the Ninghe Palace, when he looked back, he saw that the person was still staring at this side.
In the Ninghe Palace, Zhao Ji was holding a book and looking at something, his brows were frowning, the look on his face was cloudy, he could hear the sound of footsteps, and when he saw Zhao Hao coming in, the look on his face gradually relaxed.
Zhao Hao stepped forward and bowed: "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”
Zhao Ji showed a slightly warm look in his eyes, and waved his hand: "Excuse me, and I won't need these vain vulgar rituals in the future." ”
Zhao Hao said respectfully: "Weichen doesn't dare. ”
Seeing that this guy was not pampered and arrogant at this time, Zhao Ji was very useful, but he scolded with a smile: "Even my jasper dust dares to shatter, and there are things you don't dare, sit down." ”
Zhao Hao sat down respectfully next to him...... Before going out, I had a premonition that today was a good day, how could I not be solemn?
Zhao Ji sighed slightly: "Gao Yu, this guy, I have been following since I was in Duanwang's Mansion, and it has been twenty years now, and I can't imagine that the evening will not ......be guaranteed."
Zhao Hao didn't squeak, at this time, it was counterproductive to say anything, Zhao Ji was just sighing, there must be a following.
Sure enough, Zhao Ji's words changed: "God is fortunate to make me get my nephew, like a fish in water, if it weren't for my nephew, I would have ...... Mr. Miao's nephew is the reincarnation of my protector god, and I am still half-convinced, but now it seems that it is a gift from God to my nephew in me......"
Zhao Hao said hurriedly: "The minister is really panicked, the minister has just done his duty as a minister, how dare he be an official so falsely praised, and the minister is also tormented!" ”
The expression on Zhao Ji's face became softer and softer, and he sighed softly: "That day, you let me lie to you in public in the palace, and I also said that you were young and arrogant, but now it seems that I blamed you by mistake." At that time, you should have been forced to do it, but it was rare to be able to do this without being arrogant. ”
Zhao Haone's response: "Weichen ......"
Zhao Ji became impatient again, and said loudly: "Hugh has to say more, you have made such a great achievement, if I don't reward it, the world will only say that I am stingy and stingy...... Zhao Hao listened! ”
Zhao Hao's expression was solemn, and he said respectfully: "Weichen is here." ”
"Doctor Taizhong, Xuanwei General Zhao Hao, has meritorious service in saving the driver, and he is worshipping the doctor and the Zhongwu general, and he is the founder of the White Horse, with 700 households in the food district, and 200 households in the special purpose of adding food, which can be hereditary."
Zhengfeng Dafu is a civil and scattered official, and the loyal military general is a military officer, and is a fourth grade, although the rank has been upgraded from the fourth rank to the fourth grade, but it has been upgraded by one level. The real focus is on the position of the earl, and the founding earl of the White Horse is the title of the fourth grade, and the special purpose is to seal 200 households, which is almost the treatment of the marquis.
A knighthood is different from an official title, a knighthood is an honor, which is generally awarded to meritorious heroes, royal relatives, ancestors and nobles, etc., and many prime ministers may not have titles. Before the Song Dynasty, the titles could be hereditary, but after the Song Dynasty, most of the titles were only lifelong titles and could not be hereditary, and Zhao Ji's special title of earl to Zhao Hao could be hereditary, and its honor was extraordinary.
Zhao Hao hurriedly bent down and bowed: "Thank you, Holy Grace!" ”
Zhao Ji waved his hand, signaling for exemption, and then his expression became solemn, his eyes were murderous, and he said in a deep voice: "If someone is rewarded, naturally someone must punish him severely, otherwise how can he maintain the norm?" I will leave the matter of this rebellion to you to find out! ”
Zhao Hao was shocked, and said urgently: "Weichen is only a shallow learner, and I am afraid it will be difficult to bear the heavy trust......
Groove ...... Lao Tzu is the real messenger behind the scenes, how do you tell me to investigate?
Zhao Ji ignored him, but continued: "I thank you for promoting the position of the Imperial City Division, commanding the Imperial City Division, and making every effort to investigate this matter, there must be no mistakes...... Deadline for January!"
As soon as Zhao Hao heard "I worship you for the position of the Imperial City Division and lead the Imperial City Division", he was stunned for an instant.
A wave of ecstasy came up from the bottom of my heart, and it was extremely refreshing.
What doctor, what general, what founding uncle, it's all nonsense, Lao Tzu is a man who wants to become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he wants to use the false title, and this promotion of the Imperial City Division is the real official.
is not only an official, but also an official that Zhao Hao dreams of.
The Imperial City Division, in terms of some responsibilities and functions, is the brocade guard of the Great Song Dynasty!
No matter which dynasty or generation in Chinese history has its own unique, directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor of an institution, their main responsibility is to protect the emperor, monitor hundreds of officials, the most famous of which is the Ming Dynasty, the East Factory, the West Factory, Jinyi Guard, in fact, the Song Dynasty also had a secret agency, his name is the Imperial City Division, but there is no Ming Dynasty those fierce famous!
The Imperial City Division is a civil bureaucracy, not under the management of the three ya, but directly under the emperor's close ministers, and most of its heads are eunuchs. His duties were twofold, spy and escort.
The predecessor of the Imperial City Division was the Wude Division established by Taizu, and at that time he sent people to spy everywhere, even as far as Sichuan. Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty changed its name to the Imperial City Division, and later issued an edict prohibiting the Imperial City Division from going out of the capital to carry out activities. The personnel of the Imperial City Division are also divided into two parts, one part is called a personal subordinate officer and is in charge of the guards; The other part is called the family officials, also known as the chazi, these people are in charge of all parts of the capital, down to the flower street and willow lane, up to the government ministers, to listen to the big and small news. The number of people has also grown from a few dozen at the beginning to more than 7,000 at the maximum.
The scope of reconnaissance by family officials is roughly divided into the following types: monitoring the military, reconnoitring people's discussions, reconnoitring officials, and guarding against enemy spies.
Another role of the Imperial City Division is to guard, first of all, the gates of the Imperial Palace are guarded by the Imperial City Division, and the tokens and door numbers entering and exiting the Imperial Palace are also issued and managed by the Imperial City Division.
In addition to the above arrangements, there are also the three guards (i.e., Xun Wei, Yi Wei, and Qin Wei), all of whom are the children of the officials' families, and most of the tasks they undertake belong to the ceremonial task.
There is also an official position, called "with imperial equipment", wearing a personal guard with a sword, which can be regarded as a real guard with a sword in front of the emperor. This kind of guard with a knife in front of the emperor has a more famous one, nicknamed "Royal Cat", which is famous.
It can be seen that among the Imperial City Division, it can be regarded as a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and it not only has the function of the Imperial City Division, but also has no suppression of the East Factory and the West Factory, but only restricts each other with the Front Division of the Palace, but it is a department with great real power.
The head of the Imperial City Division is generally a eunuch, and Zhao Ji actually handed over the Imperial City Division to his own management, which shows the trust and Zhao Ji's determination to find out the truth of this rebellion.
It's just that what he doesn't know is that it is impossible to get the truth by letting Zhao Hao find out the truth......
Although Zhao Hao was ecstatic in his heart, he still had a bitter look on his face: "Weichen is foolish, I'm afraid he will live up to His Majesty's high expectations...... Please also ask Your Majesty to ask for another wisdom. ”
Zhao Ji snorted coldly, turned around and took an antique long sword from behind him, and drew his sword.
I only heard a choking dragon groan, and a long sword came out of its sheath, cold and cold, and the edge was compelling!
Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and touched the cold and shining sword body, and said coldly: "This sword is called Longquan, sharpening iron like clay, I love it very much...... If you hold the sword of mine and go to handle the case, if there are anyone who obstructs the investigation of the case, except for the prince, the emperor and the prince, the rest can be cut down first and then played, and there will be no forgiveness! ”
Zhao Hao felt a chill in his heart, in order to find out who wanted to put himself to death, this guy was going crazy......
At this moment, Zhao Hao could no longer shirk it, so he had to bend down and catch it, and said respectfully: "Weichen obeys the order and will not disgrace his mission!" ”
Zhao Ji looked at him with a smile and said jokingly: "If you lose the sword of the Son of Heaven again this time, you will raise your head to see me." ”
It seems that Zhao Ji can't let go of the damage to the jasper dust after all, so he will beat it again.
Zhao Hao hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen should regard the sword of the Son of Heaven as his life, the sword is in the people, and the sword is dead!" ”
Zhao Ji heard the last eight words, with an interesting look in his eyes, and nodded with satisfaction, but his voice became deeper and deeper: "Remember, to investigate the case, you must first check the motive, and then check the clues...... For example, you nephew, such as my emperor, such as Liang Shoudao (Liang Shicheng), you all rely on me to be favored, and you have no motive, and I should trust them. If I unfortunately die in this rebellion, who will benefit? ”
Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then he showed a frightened look, and said in a lost voice: "Could it be that Your Majesty doubts it...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
Zhao Ji snorted coldly: "If I die, I will be the successor of the crown prince, and the prince will be the most suspicious...... But it may not be, if King Yun wants to harm the prince, this is also the best opportunity, killing two birds with one stone, and reaping the benefits of the fisherman...... As for King Su, it may not be without motives, if the crown prince and King Yun suspect and dispute each other, King Su is also a fisherman...... In this way, what is the specific truth, you still need to carefully investigate and obtain evidence! ”
At this moment, Zhao Hao really had a chill down his spine...... This Zhao Ji is actually a real ruthless person, and his own son can be so suspicious......
Zhao Ji admonished, Zhao Hao said goodbye, and was about to leave with the Longquan sword, seeing that he had turned around, he was stopped by Zhao Ji again, and threw over two volumes, one of which was the one he was reading when he came in just now.
"This book was handed down by our ancestors, and you have a share of it...... Among the clans, only you are the most brave, and it will be passed on to you. ”
A volume of "Song Taizu's Thirty-two Potential Long Fists", and a volume of "Taizu Panlong Stick".
Only then did Zhao Hao remember that our old Zhao family also had ancestral martial arts secrets...... Authentic martial arts cheats!
Finally, Zhao Hao, who returned with a full load, with full excitement and complacency, and with a little worry, slowly left the Ninghe Palace.
However, what he didn't know was that he hadn't left Yanfu Palace yet, and the news in the palace had spread out of the deep palace at lightning speed.
A storm is about to set off in Bianliang, and he will be one of the most important protagonists in the storm.
PS: The author has been involved in a storm in the real workplace, so he can't change it for two days, if he can get out of the whole body, then he will do it, otherwise I am afraid that I will really have to write books as a full-time job...... At that time, of course, there is no need to worry about the update.
