The time in Zongzheng Temple was not long, they only stayed for about half an hour, although it was only a routine procedure, but the registration of Zongzheng Temple meant that the identity of Wujin changed from then on.

From the moment he pressed the handprint, Wu Jin was no longer the son of the Donghai Huangfu clan, but the great-grandson of King Liang, the lord of Liangguo, who owned the Duke of Liangguo, which was undoubtedly a phoenix-like transformation, and it was a thunderous ecstasy for the vast majority of people.

But Wu Jin didn't feel happy at all, becoming the great-grandson of Liang Guogong means that he will embark on a road of no return from now on, and there is no possibility of turning back, which means that he and Weiming are no longer brothers, which means that his future destiny is either to go to hell or to heaven, and there is no third way.

He didn't have any joy in his heart, but there was an indescribable loss, Huangfu Jiang saw that Wujin was silent, understood his mood, so he patted him on the shoulder, smiled and comforted him: "Don't think about things too badly, you don't know a lot of things, it's definitely not as weak as you think, and I'll tell you step by step in the future." ”

Wu Jin smiled bitterly, since he has become the leader, he has not even seen his own subordinates, so everyone will just regard him as a spiritual leader!

The two walked down the steps of Zongzheng Temple and were about to get into the carriage, when a carriage rushed in, and a eunuch leaned out of the window of the carriage, and shouted from afar: "Old prince!" ”

Huangfu Jiang stopped, and the eunuch panted and rushed forward to ask, "Which one is Huangfu Wujin?" ”

Wu Jin was stunned, stepped forward and said, "I am!" ”

"Please enter the palace, the emperor summons you."

Huangfu Jiang smiled and said: "I almost missed it, since His Majesty summoned us, let's hurry into the palace!" ”

The eunuch's face was embarrassed, "Old prince, Your Majesty just summoned Wujin alone, you see ......"

This was out of Huangfujiang's expectations, he also knew that this was the emperor's discretion to be knighted, the title of the Duke of Guo was extremely high, even Uncle Shen was only named the Duke of Yongguo, Wu Jin got it at a young age, of course the emperor wanted to summon him, he smiled and said to Wu Jin: "His Majesty the new Duke of the Kingdom always has to summon, you just go to see Your Majesty alone, don't be nervous, pay attention to etiquette, I will go back to the house first, and you will go back to the house directly after you are finished!" ”

"Yes! The grandson got it. ”

Wujin followed the eunuch into the carriage, and hurriedly galloped towards the palace, Huangfu Jiang looked at the carriage away, his eyes showed a trace of worry, he told Yuan Qing not to be nervous, in fact, he was very nervous in his heart, obtaining the title is only the first step, their purpose is not the title, it is a high-ranking official power, because Wujin has no qualifications, so if you want to get a high-ranking official power, you can only rely on the title, for the royal family, the position is a match for the title, Yuanqing gets a high lord, then the position will not be low.

But whether to get a real job or an idle position, the key is to look at the emperor's impression of Wujin himself, Huangfujiang is worried about this, whether Yuanqing can take the most critical step today.

．．．．．．． The carriage drove all the way into the inner palace and stopped in front of the Taiye Palace, where several eunuchs were already waiting.

Taiye Hall is the emperor's inner study is located, here is the place where the emperor works in the inner palace and receives important ministers, according to the Daning system, more than seven grades can face the saint, and the military position is increased by one level. Wu Jin is a six-rank military position, just on the threshold of the face saint, although he has been awarded the Duke of Liangguo, but it must be engraved before it can officially take effect, so he is still a quasi-national duke.

"Is it General Huangfu Wujin?" A eunuch ran up and asked.

Wu Jin arched his hand, "It is Wu Jin under it." ”

He was also a little nervous in his heart, although Huangfu Jiang did not tell him the important surname of the emperor today, but Wu Jin knew that today would be a starting point for him, whether it was the recognition of his ancestors in Zongzheng Temple, or the upcoming meeting with the saint, it was a turning point in his fate.

"General Wujin, you are the first time to face the saint, you must kneel and worship, after the saint says that after the peace, you can face the saint again in the future, you don't need to kneel, you can bow and bow......"

While walking into the inner palace, a eunuch told Wujin about some of the most basic precautions, generally the first time he faced the saint, he had to learn the etiquette for half a day, but this time the emperor saw that Wujin was very anxious, and did not give him time to learn etiquette, so he could only tell him the most basic precautions.

"There is another important point to note, that is, you can't get close to the emperor three feet, if the emperor is close to you, you should also try to retreat in time, you are the first time to face the saint, this is especially important, close to three feet, you may be in danger."

After a while, Wu Jin followed the eunuch to the front of the inner study, and there were sixteen burly palace guards and eight eunuchs standing at the door. ”

A eunuch quickly walked into the room, and several guards strictly searched Wu Jin, and soon, the high-pitched shouts of the guards sounded in the Taiye Palace: "Your Majesty has a will, Xuan Huangfu has no Jin to see you!" ”

Wu Jin took a deep breath and walked quickly into the inner study.

In the inner study, the emperor of the Daning Dynasty, Huangfu Xuande, was sitting on the desk to review the folds, and he didn't seem to notice the entry of Wu Jin.

Wu Jin walked forward quickly, found the kneeling line that the eunuch pointed out to him, a short golden line, he knelt down and saluted, "Weichen Huangfu Wujin sees His Majesty the Emperor, I wish Your Majesty long live Long live Long live!" ”

Huangfu Xuande slowly put down his pen and glanced at Wujin who was kneeling on the ground, he nodded secretly, this child is good-looking, very charming, and has a good appearance, no wonder Huangfu Jiang wants to accept him to return to the sect, if he can be cultivated well, he can indeed do a career.

"No rudeness!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Jin stood up, took half a step back slightly, and stood outside another silver line, these two lines are drawn for the newcomers who first saw the emperor, generally the courtiers have experience, and will deliberately keep a certain distance, but the newcomers do not know the rules very well, if they are too close to the emperor and exceed the cordon, they will be killed by the personal guards hidden in the shadows, which is the precautions that the eunuch repeatedly told Wu Jin.

Huangfu Xuande couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw that Wujin was very careful about the gold and silver threads on the ground, "You don't have to pay too much attention to the gold and silver threads on the ground, my guards won't kill you." ”

Wu Jin's face flushed, "Your Majesty, the minister is facing the saint for the first time, and he doesn't know the etiquette, please forgive your Majesty!" ”

"I don't mind."

Huangfu Xuande waved his hand slightly and smiled: "Generally, newcomers have to go to the Ministry of Rites to practice etiquette when they see me, because you appeared very suddenly, last night the king of Lanling County told me that he has a grandson of you, you make me very interested, I can't wait to see you, do you know why?" ”

"Weichen doesn't know!"

"Don't you know, you are one of my few direct nephews, and I have always valued family affection, so I want to know, what does my nephew look like?"

Wu Jin stood aside with his hands down and replied, "Wei Chen has disappointed Your Majesty. ”

"Not disappointed, your first impression on me was not bad, have you read a book?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have studied for a few years, and the ministers were dull when they were young, and later they mainly studied martial arts."

"I've heard about it, I've heard that your crossbow arrows are shooting very well, and you can learn martial arts, that's your grandfather's expectation."

Speaking of this, Huangfu Xuande picked up the ginseng tea from the table and took a sip slowly, and he asked Wujin thoughtfully: "I want to ask you, if I plan to release you as an official, where do you want to go?" ”

This sentence is the real reason why Huangfu Xuande wants to see Wujin, and the appearance of Wujin has added variables to his Helong layout.

Although Huangfu Xuande did not support Uncle Shen Guo's use of the Tiger Fu case to bring down Zhang Chongjun, it did not mean that he was very relieved about Zhang Chongjun, not because of Zhang Chongjun himself, Huangfu Xuande attached great importance to Zhang Chongjun himself, but Zhang Chongjun was the son-in-law of the king of Lanling County after all, and he still belonged to the inheritance of the Liangwang faction.

This made him feel uncomfortable all the time, for decades, the 200,000 army of Helong has always been the sphere of influence of King Liang, after nearly 60 years of operation by the three generations of King Liang, King Lanling County and Zhang Chongjun, King Liang's power has been deeply rooted in the Helong area, and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene in it.

Ten years ago, Huangfu Xuande appointed Wu Luotu, the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, as the deputy envoy of Helong Jiedu, in an attempt to let him break the monopoly of the Liangwang faction on the Helong army, but in less than a year, Wu Luotu was killed by the Shatuo people in the battle to suppress the rebellion against the Shatuo people.

Subsequently, he appointed Dong Sheng, the general of the Yulin Army, to replace Wu Luotu, but Dong Sheng fell ill a few months later and died after returning to Beijing for treatment.

The bizarre death of the two deputy envoys of Jiedu finally made Huangfu Xuande finally understand that the Helong Army would not allow anyone to interfere, and Zhang Chongjun's wrist was extremely high, and he firmly grasped the Helong Army in his hands.

After all these years of observation, Huangfu Xuande discovered that there was a fatal weakness within the Liangwang faction, that is, there was a contradiction within them, which was the contradiction between Huangfu Zhuo and Zhang Chongjun, the sons of the king of Lanling County.

It stands to reason that Huangfu Zhuo should inherit his father's career and become the envoy of the Helong Festival, and the first emperor also promised that the Emperor Zhuo would succeed the envoy of the Helong Festival, and there was no obstacle, but in the end, Huangfu Jiang unexpectedly recommended his son-in-law, but did not recommend his son to take over.

This result also confused Huangfu Xuande, but now he is not confused, and admires Huangfu Jiang's foresight.

Huangfu Zhuo is far inferior to Zhang Chongjun in terms of ability and prestige in the army, if it is Huangfu Zhuo as the envoy of Helong, then the situation of the Liang Dynasty's control of Helong will be broken sooner or later, and Huangfu Jiang saw this, so he asked his son-in-law Zhang Chongjun to replace him.

However, because of this, the relationship between Huangfu Zhuo and Zhang Chongjun has not been very good, and the two even turned against each other at the beginning of the year because Huang Fuzhuo's son was not promoted to lieutenant.

Huangfu Xuande once considered transferring Zhang Chongjun and making Huangfu Zhuo the envoy of Helong, but that still could not break the control of the Liang Dynasty over Helong, and he was very worried that Zhang Chongjun would use other means to resist his will, such as a mutiny in Helong or a large-scale Qiang riot.

Just like when the old Liang King entered Beijing and was placed under house arrest, a serious mutiny immediately broke out in the Helong area, forcing the first emperor to appoint Huangfu Jiang as the envoy of the new festival, and the mutiny was immediately quelled.

He doesn't want to take this risk now, the last way is to break it from the inside, Huangfu Xuande has already seen the cracks within Helong, he has decided to use Huangfu Zhuo to break down the unity within the Liangwang line, so that they can have infighting, Huangfu Zhuo's son Huangfu Wuzhi is the best chess piece.

And at this time, another grandson of Huangfu Jiang appeared, and he changed from an illegitimate son to the heir of the Liang royal line.

Huangfu Xuande understands Huangfu Jiang's hard work, it is obvious that he wants to use Huangfu Wujin to replace Zhang Chongjun, Zhang Chongjun may be willing, what about Huangfu Zhuo? Would he like to?

Now that he has seen through Huangfu Jiang's intentions, Huangfu Xuande naturally wants to let the Helong change situation develop in his favor.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Xuande smiled slightly: "Gao Jue should correspond to a high position, this is a consistent rule in the imperial court, since you are from Donghai County, you must know their situation very well, I decided to let you inherit your father's position back then." ”
