didn't wait too long, about three o'clock in Mochen, a magnificent carriage drove into Xinjiazhuang, and finally stopped in front of Xin's house.

An old eunuch stood at the door, and the old eunuch roared in a voice like a male duck: "The holy decree has arrived, and Xin Xi is welcome!" ”

In the courtyard, Xin Xi got up, walked out with Xin Ti, and stood to salute and receive the order.

The old eunuch didn't say much, it stands to reason that the first will of the new emperor to ascend the throne must be received on his knees, but the new emperor did not emphasize it, and the two people who received the decree, one is the former head of the Xin family, and the other will immediately become the patriarch of the Xin family.

He can't afford to provoke the weight of these two people, and there is no need to disgust people in this inconsequential link.

Clearing his throat, the old eunuch pulled his neck and roared: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, my father and the emperor collapsed, I am now newly established, everything is waiting to be prospered, the Xin family is handed over, Xin Eleven, and Xin tiller, quickly enter the palace and be ordered to hand over!" Chin this! ”

The content of the holy decree is very sloppy, and the rhetoric that was paid attention to in the past, this holy decree is only perfunctory, and it can be seen that Zhao Shu must be anxious now, and he has no heart to maintain the dignity of the heavenly family in the holy decree.

"The minister takes the order!" Xin tiller got up.

"The grass people take the order!" Xin Zhen followed suit.

Xin Ti took the holy decree and glanced at it hastily, and then handed the holy decree to Xin Xi.

Xin Xi also looked at it casually, then rolled up the holy decree and put it into the sleeve of the robe and tucked it away.

The old eunuch smiled flatteringly: "Then, Xin Zhuguo, Xin Shiyilang, let's enter the palace now?!" ”

Xin Yi chuckled, he hadn't been knighted yet, and the old eunuch shouted at Xin's station, although, as he used to be the head of the Xin family, it would not be a problem to finally be stationed in the country, but this was also a bit inconsistent with the etiquette after all.

But this was also a kind of kindness expressed by the old eunuch, so Xin Yi smiled and nodded, and got into the carriage.

Xin Xi fully did what a junior should do, and he didn't say a word during the whole process.

At this time, it is the handover of the old and the new, if he stands up again, I am afraid that he will accidentally let Xin Til touch the scene.

Even if it's because he's thinking too much, it's better to try to think about it a little more.

After getting into the carriage and galloping all the way, the majestic palace wall appeared in front of him, and as last time, after the old eunuch showed the token, the forbidden army on the palace collected the bow and arrows and opened the city gate.

Coming and going twice, Xin Xi couldn't help but feel that this palace was actually a bigger and more magnificent prison, in it, whether it was a eunuch, a palace maid, a concubine, or an emperor, they were all just prisoners, and they couldn't get out easily.

Therefore, the emperors who are in power in later generations will be so keen on private interviews with microservices, right? !

What kind of white Arowana suit, it's just that I want to go out to breathe, and then I encountered some bad things on the way to breathe, and I disposed of it by the way, so I became a white Arowana suit and experienced the suffering of the people......

Chengde Palace, at this time is deserted, the palace maids and concubines have already gone to the Zichen Hall to kneel and cry the first emperor, and the Daqing Hall has been sealed, and the palace will not be opened until the first seven days have passed.

The two of them, under the guidance of the old eunuch, approached the Chengde Palace.

Pushing open the door, I saw Zhao Shu wearing a yellow robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon sitting in the middle, I have to say that with Zhao Shu's figure and face, wearing this dragon robe, he turned out to be a little more imperial than Emperor Renzong.

Beside Zhao Shu, sitting are the current four phases - Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Gongliang, Wang Si, and the other two people sitting alone, the privy envoy Chen Shuo and the privy deputy envoy Fan Zheng. On the other side, there were three people sitting, three three envoys of salt and iron, Du Zhi, and three envoys of the household department.

Civilian, military, and financial leaders, the leaders of the three aspects have all gathered.

Xin Ti and Xin Xi walked quickly to the hall and saluted with the most solemn standards: "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shu smiled bitterly: "Where did you come from, long live, long live, even the first emperor is only fifty-three years old." ”

Han Qi's old face tugged, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, don't speak wantonly, long live long live is the courtier Li Min's wish to you!" ”

"Yes, yes, what Han Xiang said is reasonable!" Zhao Shu's face was full of helplessness, Han Qi was too serious, not like Ouyang Xiu, and he could still make jokes.

"Your Majesty, since Xin Shiyi is here, let's start!" Zeng Gongliang opened his mouth and said, he is a good man, he does not oppose anyone, nor does he agree with anyone, and later Wang Anshi changed the law, Zeng Gongliang also had such an attitude.

Zhao Shu nodded: "If the throne is alternated, the head of the Xin family will definitely change, this is the ancestral family law, Xin Tier, I'm sorry!" ”

Xin Yi shook his head: "According to the ancestral family law, there is nothing to be sorry for, besides, the old man is also old, so he should let young talents like Shiyi Lang preside over the affairs of the Shadow Guard." ”

Zhao Shu nodded, and then said: "The first emperor has a will, he belongs to Xinxi, I also belong to Xinxi, and there is no opposition within your Xin family, Xin Tier, then let's start!" ”

Zhao Shu was a little irritable, the reason why he was irritable was because he was forced to make a mess from Renzong's hands, a mess with an empty treasury, but this treasury was already empty, he planned to simply handle the affairs of the first emperor, but Empress Cao, no, is now the Empress Dowager Cao.

Empress Dowager Cao insisted on doing a big deal, otherwise she would say that this matter was disrespectful to the former emperor, and said that because Zhao Shu was not the first emperor's own son, she even wanted to do it hastily.

Therefore, after finally discussing with the four ministers, he could only choose to compromise and make a special deal of the emperor's affairs.

Therefore, at the moment, he was so annoyed that he had no mind about the replacement of the controller of the Shadow Guard.

Anyway, the Shadow Guard Army has a total of 3,000 people, and compared to the millions of forbidden troops, it can't be turned over in any way, not to mention, the one who takes over as the commander of the Shadow Guard Army is likely to be his future son-in-law.

Xin Tiller nodded, and took out a jade pendant from his arms, the jade pendant is black all over, it is a rare Kunshan black jade, it is rumored that this Kunshan black jade was obtained when Chai Shizong Chai Rong conquered Western Xia.

Xin Yi raised the jade pendant above his head with a solemn face, turned his head, and looked at Xin Xi with burning eyes: "Kneel!" ”

Xin Zhen was also solemn and slowly knelt down.

Xin Ti handed out the jade pendant, Xin Ti lowered his head, raised his hands and took it, these etiquettes were all on the road, Xin Ti had already explained to him.

When Xin Xi took the jade pendant, Xin Xi turned his head to look at Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu got up and nodded: "Xin Shiyi, swear!" ”

The three envoys, the four ministers, the two privy envoys, and the top officials of the three divisions and two governments of the Northern Song Dynasty all stood up and looked at Xin Xi solemnly.

Xin Xi raised his head and said loudly: "Xin Zhen swears again that when he takes over the Kunshan Black Jade today, he will protect the Great Song Dynasty with the Shadow Guard Army for the rest of his life, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup for the Great Song Dynasty!" Respect the sky, Emperor Taizu, Taizu Xinyuan, witness! ”

The voice is sonorous and powerful.

Zhao Shu felt that something was wrong, because this oath was not loyal to the emperor, and he looked back at Xin Yi suspiciously: "The content of the oath, why is it not loyal to me?!" ”。

This is the first time Zhao Shu has used the self-title of me, which shows how confused he is at this time, and he may even be angry.

Xin Yi was slightly stunned, does the new emperor plan to take advantage of today's handover to revise his oath and make the Shadow Guard completely become a one-man dog?!

Thinking of this, Xin Tier was a little sad.

Han Qi quickly spoke: "This is also under the laws of the ancestors' family, and it was set by Taizu and Xin Yuan that day, in order to ensure the independence of the Shadow Guard Army, so that the Great Song Dynasty has such an institution that can restrain the imperial power and even reverse it when the emperor makes a mistake!" ”

Han Qi didn't say that the reason why Xin Yuan became an existence like the Hidden Emperor was because of this reason, that is, because Taizong was not in the right position, and Taizu's sons were all killed by Taizong, and then, Xin Yuan intervened strongly, creating the legend of the first generation of Hidden Emperor.

But in the same way, if it weren't for the independence of the Shadow Guard, Kou Zhun would not have been able to persuade Zhenzong to drive the expedition in person, and the history of that imperial expedition was the result of Kou Zhun's persuasion, but there was also pressure from the Xin family and the Shadow Guard, otherwise, how could the cowardly Zhenzong have the courage to go to the Imperial Expedition!

It was precisely because during the Zhenzong period that the Xin family kept the Great Song Dynasty that Han Qi skipped the matter of Xin Yuan becoming the Hidden Emperor, lest the emperor suspect that Xin Yuan would also become the Hidden Emperor!

This is the case in the Northern Song Dynasty, there are very few people who are really loyal to the emperor alone, except for the eunuchs, and every scholar and doctor has in his heart the entire Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty!

Han Qi is the leader and representative of these scholars, especially in two years, when the dispute between Zhao Shu and Empress Dowager Cao broke out and the two palaces were discordant, it was Han Qi's painstaking persuasion that stabilized the situation in the palace.

"Since this is the case, then according to the ancestral family law!" Zhao Shu nodded, no longer dwelling on this issue.

At this time, Zhao Shu looked back at Xin Til and said, "Xin Til is the commander of the Shadow Guard Army, he has made outstanding achievements, is sincere and diligent, and he is hereby sealed as a pillar country!" ”

It is no accident that when the patriarchs of the Xin family retired, they were all sealed in this way, and the patriarch Xin Cong, who was boiled to death by Renzong, also posthumously sealed the Shangzhu Kingdom.

Xin tiller indifferently saluted and thanked him.

Zhao Shu looked at Xin Xi again and said, "The Xin family has a son, Xin Shiyi, smart and clever. has made many achievements, and is hereby named the commander of the Shadow Guard Army, and the founding county man, and the addition of Dr. Ying Guanglu! ”

The commander of the Shadow Guard Army is the position, the founding county baron is the baron, and the Guanglu doctor is the honor, that is to say, Xin Xi actually still has no official position.

After all, the official positions of the Northern Song Dynasty all came from the imperial examination!

Xin Xi stepped forward and thanked him: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen!" ”

"Excuse me!" Zhao Shu said indifferently, and then said: "Sit down, now that the emperor has died, all the affairs are pressed on me, Zhao Shu has come to this position, everything is still not clear, you will help me!" ”

"Don't dare! Assisting His Majesty is a minister's duty!! The crowd hurriedly saluted.

Next, there are things inside and outside the palace, Xin Xi doesn't know much about the Shadow Guard Army at all, just listening to the side, most of the questions raised by Zhao Shu are still answered by Xin Tier.

An hour later, after the major events in the four aspects of civil, military, financial and film were reported and resolved, Zhao Shu let everyone disperse, at this time, he still had to kneel and cry the emperor, and he had to cry for seven days!

When they came, they were greeted by carriages, but there would be no carriages to send them off at this time, the imperial city was very busy, and there was no one to send them off, but fortunately, Xin Til was familiar with the palace, otherwise the two of them might really get lost in the palace.

Out of the palace, Xin til said: "Eleven Lang, now you are the head of the Xin family, and you are the commander of the Shadow Guard, you know everything you should know." ”

"Yes!" Xin Xi spoke very respectfully.

"Follow me!" Xin Ti naturally beckoned, and a carriage suddenly turned around the corner of the street, a very simple carriage, without the slightest special place.

The driver was dressed in a black robe, and a black mask covered his face, revealing only a pair of eyes.

This coachman is the Xin Yi who once had a relationship!

Xin Yi got out of the car cleanly, bent down and saluted: "Commander!" ”

Xin Yi smiled and said: "From today onwards, I am not the patriarch, Eleven Lang is, and the commander is also him!" ”

Xin Yi's face was indifferent, he had already known this result since he sent Xin Tiller into the palace overnight last night.

Xin Yi turned around, saluted Xin Xi, and said, "I've seen the patriarch!" ”

Xin Yi smiled, seeing Xin Yi shouting the commander, and seeing that he only called the patriarch, this proves that Xin Yi didn't take himself seriously, and still thinks that Xin Tiller is the commander of the Shadow Guard?!

smiled faintly, Xin Xi didn't care, people's mentality is to change slowly, suddenly changing the boss, it must be a little unacceptable, just like when he was in high school, he suddenly changed a class teacher, he couldn't accept it himself, until half a year later, after experiencing the good of the new class teacher, he accepted it.

It's just that he doesn't plan to spend half a year so long for these shadow guards to accept him, he wants to directly subdue these guys by thunder means!

Thirty-six's Bajiquan is quite hot, and if you fight with this Xin again, I don't know if it's a win or a defeat!

Moreover, even if Thirty-six can't beat Xin Yi, Xin Yi still has a way to clean up these unruly guys.

The carriage began to drive, all the way to the road of Xinjiazhuang, and then, turning around, turned into the patriarch's carved and jade-built and magnificent small courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, Xin Yi sighed with emotion: "I have lived in this courtyard for more than 20 years, and I am really reluctant to ...... it."

Xin Yi sneered: "If you are reluctant, you will continue to live, and no one will dare to drive you away from the command!" ”

What a meaning! Xin Zhen reached out and touched his chin.

At this time, Xin Yi spoke: "Eleven Lang, UU read the book .et Don't blame Xin Yi, Xin Yi was picked up by me, just like my daughter, it's normal to be reluctant." ”

Like your daughter?!

Is this Xin Yi really a woman?!

Xin Zhen's mouth opened wide, and his face was speechless.

Xin Yi snorted coldly, didn't say much, but continued to lead the way.

After passing through the four courtyards, I came to the annex, and inside the annex was the three-story attic.

Xin Yu pointed to the attic and said: "This small building is the general office of the Shadow Guard, the first floor is the office, the second floor gathers all the information collected by the Shadow Guard, and the third floor is the information of each Shadow Guard and those who are more heavy. ”

All sorts of materials?!

Is the Shadow Guard actually a CIA-like department?!

Xin Zhen's face was speechless, what he wanted was special forces, not the intelligence bureau!!
