Without this performance, Yang Zhen would have been gradually forgotten by the Son of Heaven because he was not in the crowd, and he would become the most ordinary palace guard. But after this incident, the situation was completely different, and within two days, a new holy will came out, and Yang Zhen was transferred to the imperial front to wait.

As a guard in the palace, there is not much difference in the eyes of outsiders, which is enough to glorify the ancestors, but in fact, the inside is also very different, divided into three, six, nine and so on. The lowest level is the guards guarding the gates and passages of the Forbidden City, they are not only powerless, they don't even have any freedom, and they will be on duty all night every few days, which can be said to be the most bitter, tiring, and the most difficult to get ahead.

Slightly better than them are the guards of the forbidden army who are generally stationed all over the palace. Compared with the previous category, they don't have to be on duty at night, and they have more opportunities to see big people, maybe one day they will be favored and soar to the sky, of course, this kind of opportunity is still very rare.

The next level is the escort guard that Yang Zhen served before. However, these guards are called the Imperial Front, in fact, there is still a lot of distance from the Son of Heaven, and it is good to be able to see the emperor in a few days - of course, it is not counted as a human flesh set in the last court. However, even if they are better than the first two categories, it is difficult for them to get the favor of the Son of Heaven after all, and if they want to improve, they must either rely on opportunities or stay up for years.

And the most enviable of the guards is the personal guards in front of the palace. They often stay by the side of the Son of Heaven, except for the emperor who goes to the harem, they usually see him, not only can they be familiar, but also easier to get the attention of the Son of Heaven. In addition, when an official needs to see the emperor, while giving a bribe to the eunuch who reported it, he often does not forget them, which can be said to be a fat difference.

Generally speaking, if someone can make the leap from another position to become a royal guard, it will always arouse a lot of envy and jealousy from others. But this time, Yang Zhen's comrades no longer dared to show any displeasure to him, but instead congratulated him on such a high ascension. The reason for this is that Yang Zhen suppressed these people with his own excellent kung fu.

Xiao Ran's final fate is already known to everyone, not to mention that his whole body is broken by several bones, and his spine is even broken, and this life is completely over. With such a lesson from the past, how could ordinary guards dare to have any contradictions with Yang Zhen? So when he received the appointment, all he got was the voice of congratulations.

In this regard, Yang Zhen himself did not show too much excitement. Because he really didn't like the routine life in front of him, it made him feel uncomfortable. And if he is transferred to the front of the emperor one step closer to the emperor, there will be more rules and constraints, and then he will be even more uncomfortable.

But as a guard of the forbidden army, it was impossible for him to disobey the assignment from above, so in the end, with a full complaint, he became the personal guard of the Son of Heaven with more than a dozen lucky people under the envious eyes of others.

In the days that followed, Yang Zhen still got up early and stayed by the side of the Son of Heaven as before, guarding his safety, but in fact, there was almost nothing that was really needed for them to be guarded. Because if the emperor sends anything down, the eunuchs and chamberlains who are closer to him will rob him of the work, after all, as the lord of the world and the biggest and only boss of the eunuchs, who doesn't want to behave before he buys you?

Especially when the princes and princes who were once very able to speak in front of Wanli, and obviously had Feng Bao as a backer and were not low in status, were driven away by Wanli because of a trivial matter, these eunuchs worked harder, and they were more able to act according to the vision of the Son of Heaven. The enlightenment of this incident to them is that as the emperor gets older a little bit, even a powerful figure like Gonggong Feng has to back down in some things.

In other words, don't look at the emperor is still young and his power is not enough, but soon, he will have a lot of real power, at least it is easy to deal with them eunuchs. This realization naturally made them fearful, but also longing, wanting to behave well in front of the Son of Heaven in order to win a chance to ascend.

Yang Zhen, who was watching coldly, felt funny in his heart, because he was the only one who knew Feng Bao, so he withdrew the royal power not because he was afraid that the power of the Son of Heaven would increase day by day, but because he felt that the chess piece of the royal power was useless. In the case that the emperor already knows his identity and is extremely disgusted with him, this chess piece naturally cannot be of any use, so what is it left for?

What's more, now Feng Bao thinks that he has found another better chess piece to stare at the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven, that is, he Yang Zhen. So it's better to be a favor and give the emperor this face.

Yang Zhen still remembered very clearly that on the evening of the day when Wang Quan was transferred, Feng Bao took the time to meet him. In this meeting, Gonggong Feng told Yang Zhen in cryptic words that as long as he was willing to work hard, his future would be very good, and the promotion of officials to the knighthood was only in the thoughts of his Gonggong Feng.

In this regard, Yang Zhen was naturally grateful to Dai De on the surface, and sincerely promised that he would not disappoint Feng Bao. But in his heart, he couldn't stop sneering, I'm afraid Feng Bao had also promised this when he put the royal power next to the emperor as his eyes and ears, but what was the result? I'm afraid that the prince's future life can only end with cleaning a corner of the palace.

Feng Bao didn't know Yang Zhen's true thoughts, he was already accustomed to the meticulous execution of his orders by others, how could he have thought that the young guard in front of him had already regarded him as an opponent? So after another encouragement, he walked away gracefully.

Looking at this great eunuch who deliberately learned to walk and didn't even look like a eunuch, Yang Zhen seemed to have found the reason why he was finally eliminated by Wanli. Because Feng Bao no longer regarded himself as a servant of the emperor, and he himself was still just a minion, the result of such a person, unless he could really replace the Son of Heaven, what awaited him would inevitably be perdition.

In addition to this abrupt episode, Yang Zhen is still very bored on weekdays. Naturally, there is no danger in the palace that requires them to come forward to save them, and their most common function is still to serve as a human background, standing from morning to night, and then either resting at the palace station, or going out of the palace to go home - after Xiao Ran was severely injured, Yang Zhen finally had the vacation he deserved.

In this kind of boring duty, autumn has finally passed completely, and the season has entered a somewhat cold winter.

And with the arrival of the cold winter, Zhang Juzheng also obviously took into account the objective reason that the Son of Heaven was still young, so the time of the early dynasty was shortened a lot, which gave Wanli more time to allocate by himself.

On this day, when Yang Zhen was still standing upright like a wooden stake as he had been a few days ago, and at the same time relying on Tuna to practice the Qingfeng Technique to spend the time in front of him, Wanli suddenly stood up from his seat and said to Yang Zhen: "Yang Qing, you can accompany me to go outside." ”

Hearing the emperor's command, Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and hurriedly dispersed the exercises that had been transported away from his body, and then said yes.

Seeing that the emperor intended to go out of the palace, a eunuch brought a thick mink fur and put it on him, and then followed him step by step, as if he was afraid that he would be blown away by the north wind outside, which was not too strong. In fact, compared with Wanli's fat body and the obviously thin body bones of the eunuchs, if they really want to blow it away, it can only be them.

After walking out of the palace gate and walking a little more than two steps in the somewhat empty palace, Wanli rushed behind him and followed carefully, and the eunuchs who did not dare to get too close or too far away waved their hands and said: "You all stay away from me, Yang Qing, come and talk to me." ”

"Yes." When Yang Zhen heard this, he rushed over from behind, and those eunuchs watched with some envy as Yang Zhen followed only half a distance from the emperor, which was the treatment only available to cabinet ministers.

After pacing slowly for a while, and pulling away from the eunuchs behind him, Wanli took a breath of heat and said in a tone that was extremely incompatible with his current age: "I saw a note today that talked about what is the way of the Ming Monarch, which is really touching. ”

"Huh?" Yang Zhen felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't understand why the emperor wanted to say this to him, and he didn't understand how a minister could talk about such a thing.

In fact, this is because he doesn't understand the Ming Dynasty's speech and official system. The imperial court has raised dozens or hundreds of officials and envoys, in order to let them find faults, whether it is the fault of the minister or the fault of the emperor. And in order to keep them from slacking off, and even have monthly assessments, each official must be impeached or exhorted several times in a month to be considered qualified, otherwise he will be fined.

In this way, the officials can only focus on others to find mistakes. And what if you're unlucky and don't find anything wrong? There is also a way, that is, to pick the emperor, even if you can't find the emperor's mistakes, you can also ask the emperor how to be, don't be, anyway, the official will not be asked if he says anything, no matter if you are wrong. If there is, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged.

In Yang Zhen's stunned, Wanli continued: "He said in the song that he should be diligent in government and love the people, and take the world as his own responsibility. Don't take evil as small, even some rules should not be broken at will...... Because once a small rule is broken, other rules may also be broken. ”

Speaking of which, Yang Zhen had vaguely guessed something. Sure enough, I saw that the emperor suddenly paused, and half turned his head to look at Yang Zhen: "Yang Qing, do you think I am a Ming Jun?" What do you think about the fact that I left the palace without permission before? I don't want to hear you talk nonsense, I want you to tell the truth! ”
