Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Six Guards of the Son of Heaven

It is not easy for newcomers to write books, so they ask for collections.

In fact, there is no shortage of people who have good personal relations in the officialdom, and there are even various factions in secret. And those who form parties for personal gain, there are many people in every dynasty, and they are no exception in later generations.

But in Xiao Mo's memory, thousands of years of feudal dynasties, since the profession of eunuchs. Officials of each dynasty and generation will deliberately keep a distance from the eunuchs. Even if there is a private relationship, it will not be placed in front of everyone.

In the eyes of the emperor, after the Xiao Wall of the imperial city, not only the concubines of the inner palace, but also the eunuchs, and the eunuchs are sometimes more terrible than the concubines.

This is especially true for Emperor Wen Yang Jian. Yang Jian was able to sit on this throne, and he couldn't do without the help of the eunuchs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Now that it is Yang Jian himself, it is naturally impossible to let this kind of thing happen to him.

Moreover, Queen Dugu is a well-known virtuous queen and a well-known jealous. During the years when Queen Dugu was alive, Yang Jian only had one or two concubines, and occasionally wanted to be pampered, and he had to make a family report to Queen Dugu, which was a well-known strict wife in history.

Originally, there were not a few concubines in the inner palace, so it was naturally impossible to say that there was chaos in the harem. Therefore, Yang Jian supervised the personal relations between courtiers and eunuchs more strictly.

Quan Zhi'an is the head of the inner palace, and he is deeply believed in by Yang, and he is in charge of the internal guard of the Yulin Army, which is related to the safety of the royal family. Such a character is also a eunuch, so naturally in his interactions with the ministers of the court, he has to take the initiative to avoid suspicion.

Therefore, after Quan Zhian explained the matter, he did not mean to stay in Xiao Mo Restaurant for a moment, but went straight to the post station.

Xiao Mo went to see Xiaobai again at this time, and Xiaobai already had signs of hot prostration.

Huo Yi and Shan Yi had already changed into ordinary samurai clothes at this time, and followed behind Xiao Mo, only the strange saber was still at his waist.

Not everyone is as knowledgeable as Old Man Han and Han Baohu, and they will make a fuss when they see Xiaobai. Huoyi and Shanyi were simply expressionless and didn't squint. I don't think there's anything wrong with this pet at all.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but look at Xiaobai, and then at his back. Then there was a burst of emotion, now it's okay, I've really become an out-and-out young master.

Two pretty maids are still sisters, a pair of fierce personal guards, plus a pet. It is estimated that if Xiao Mo wants to go out like this, the people of Luodu will definitely hide far away when they see it.

After a while, Xiao Mo said behind him: "Zi Ling, go and fetch well water for the young master again, if it is cold, take a bath for Xiaobai."

Ziyi, what about you, immediately go to Erniu and ask him to go to the palace, just say I will invite Wang Zhiming to come over at night and invite him to watch the fireworks. And by the way, let him bring some ice cubes from the Wang family's ice warehouse. Remembering this ice cellar is the point! ”

The two girls responded with a crisp yes, and ran away, while Xiao Mo put Xiaobai on the stone table, and sat on the stone bench with his chin propped up, thinking about how to pit Wang Zhiming at night to have the opportunity to go to the Wang family's ice cellar.

After a while, Xiao Mo glanced at Huo Yishan Yiyi, and asked with some curiosity: "Why are the names of the two of you so weird, the surnames Huo and Shan seem to be very rare, right?" ”

As soon as Huo saw Xiao Mo asking, he replied: "Back to Young Master Xiao's words, Huo and Shan are not the surnames of the two of us, but the titles of the two guards in the Yulin Army. Huoichi and Shanichi are just one of the titles, not names. ”

Xiao Mo listened, and the secret path was really similar to his guess, and then he asked, "I don't know what's so important about this?" Can you tell us about it? I'm curious. ”

Shan Yi, who had a scar on his face, asked very strangely, "Young Master Xiao doesn't know the six guards of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Xiao Mo was at a loss when he heard this, he really didn't know what the six guards of the Son of Heaven were.

And at this time, Huo Yidian stabbed Shan Yi in the middle and made a face towards Shan Yi. Only then did Shan Yi understand that this young master Xiao in front of him, although he had the unfathomable ability of gods and ghosts, and he could even solve the matter of Qi Yu, but he was indeed a cowardly Xiao family in the past, and he didn't even go out often, where could he still hear about the six guards of the Son of Heaven.

Huo Yi arched his hand again at this time: "Young Master Xiao, in fact, the Six Guards of the Son of Heaven is not a secret, the entire Great Sui, and even Nan Chen and the Turks know about it. ”

As soon as Huo said this, he found that what he said seemed to be a little inappropriate, doesn't this mean that you are the only young master Xiao who doesn't know.

However, Xiao Mo didn't care about this, but nodded seriously and said, "Tell me about it, I don't know much, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Huo Yixin said that this Young Master Xiao's temper was really gentle, so he continued: "This Tianzi Liuwei is the general name of the internal guard of the Yulin Army. Let's take it for example, they are the four guards of the Wind Forest Volcano, each guard is two hundred people, and these two hundred soldiers are carefully selected soldiers.

Don't say that one against a hundred, but to say that one against ten can still be guaranteed.

His Majesty has a rule that a silver dragon must be engraved on the saber of the four guards of the wind forest and volcano to demonstrate solemnity. Above the saber of ordinary internal guards is a three-clawed silver jiao, and a title like me and Shanyi is a four-clawed silver jiao. ”

Xiao Mo listened thoughtfully, such a strict hierarchy was a bit similar to the military ranks of later generations, but there was a big difference.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but ask again: "What do you say about this title?" And by what measure? ”

Huo Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "The internal guard stipulates that this matter must not be disclosed to the outside world, but the head of the power has been instructed, and everything that Young Master Xiao asks must be known."

In fact, the title of the wind forest volcano is also simple, and when the basic standards are met, the rest is measured by force.

In the four guards of the wind forest and volcano, there is no fixed position, and it will be reconsidered every three months, in the consideration, the people in the top thirteen of each guard will be named one to thirteen, with the title of each guard as the surname, and the first person is naturally the leader of each guard. ”

Xiao Mo was slightly surprised when he heard this: "So, the competition is very fierce, well, how can it be a bit of the taste of the Thirteenth Taibao."

But didn't you say that the Son of Heaven was the Six Guards? Why is there only a wind forest volcano? Could it be that there is still some heaven and earth Xuanhuang? ”

Huo Yi replied simply: "In addition to the four guards of the wind forest and volcano, there are also two guards in the palace.

This Qiankun Liangwei is not a soldier, and there is no title to say, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he was renamed Qiankun, and it turned out to be His Majesty's general.

The two guards of Qiankun are only loyal to His Majesty, and they only protect the royal family, and each person's saber is engraved with a five-grasp silver Jiao.

These people have been descendants of the family since childhood, and they swear allegiance to His Majesty with blood. Since childhood, he has been accompanied by secret methods, and everyone is very mysterious.

These things are not a secret, the people in the Yulin Army are very clear, and as for other things, then I don't know about them. ”

Xiao Mo nodded when he heard this, and it was not surprising that it was not uncommon for Hakka to be in ancient times. And the generals who swore blood are definitely the most loyal people, and one of the measures of the strength of a wealthy family is the family general.

Becoming a family leader means that future children and grandchildren will share the glory and disgrace with this family, regardless of each other, and the destruction of the main family also means that they will also die.

And not every family has a general, the family will not be able to be bought with money, and no one will be willing to casually hand over the lives of their descendants to others.

As for the secret cultivation since childhood, it is even more strange, in any era, it is strange that a monarch mainly does not have some secret special forces.

Just as Xiao Mo was pondering, Shan Yi said to Xiao Mo with some mystery: "Young Master Xiao, in fact, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang you said also has some truth, but the rumored people are not called this.

It is rumored that His Majesty also has two of the most mysterious and powerful guards, but no one has seen them with their own eyes.

It is said that one of these two guards is the heavenly guard and the other is the shadow guard. There are only a dozen of them, and they are the most proficient in the art of assassination, and they are said to be able to kill people invisibly. And the number of Tianwei is even smaller, and it is rumored that the people of Tianwei are good at the legendary tricks, and it is easy to defeat one hundred in times of crisis. But these are all rumors, and no one knows whether they are true or not. ”

Xiao Mo thought for a moment after hearing this, these rumors may not all be true, let alone false.

Just like in later generations, there are conventional weapons, and there are some strategic weapons to deter one side, but there will always be rumors that there are some secret weapons.

At this time, such a law is still applicable, and it is not easy for a famous emperor like Yang Jian to play with these things.

It's just that as a former archaeology student, Xiao Mo is also quite curious about the legendary mechanism techniques of the Spring and Autumn Period.
