Hearing that the assassin was really coming, Li Guanqi was really a little scared, and hurriedly asked, "What about the assassin?" ”

"Don't be alarmed, the emperor has already killed that assassin." Fan Jian replied with a smile.

Li Guanqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that this emperor is really not so easy to be, he has only been on the throne for a few days, and he has encountered an assassin, and he doesn't know what the situation is in the future. Thinking about it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he frowned again and asked, "You said it was an assassin?" How can this assassin still argue? ”

Fan Jian hurriedly said: "Go back to the emperor." That's what happened. I don't know where a big python came out of nowhere, it looked extremely vicious, and it was the first time for the ministers to encounter this situation, so they disturbed the emperor in a panic. ”

"Python? How could there be such a thing in the palace? Li Guanqi was also interested, "Take me to take a look." As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked out, and when he saw that Jin Baobao also wanted to get up, he raised his legs and kicked again, and said, ", did you move?" Stay honest, I'll clean you up when I get back. ”

Outside the Qinzheng Hall was a small square, and at this time, the guards who had already stood in a circle saw the emperor come out, and they were busy kneeling down.

Li Guanqi didn't speak, walked over, and saw a black and red python corpse lying in the middle of the crowd, more than a zhang long, the thickness of the bowl, but it had been broken into two, and the ground was full of dirty blood.

"Who killed this python?" Li Guanqi asked.

"Back to the emperor, it was killed by the ministers." A young guard with a sword-eyed eyelid and a majestic face replied.

Li Guanqi saw that he was handsome, and he liked it a little in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay." Very good. Seeing that his body was also covered with blood, he asked, "Where is the wound?" Does it matter? ”

The guard smiled and said, "Emperor Xie cares." The minister was not injured, it was the blood that spilled from the beast's body when it was torn off by the minister. ”

Rip-off? Li Guanqi hurriedly turned back to look at the corpse of the python, only to find that the fracture of the snake corpse was uneven, obviously not injured by the sword. Li Guanqi is really interested in this young guard now, the hand splits the giant python, obediently, this is even more awesome than tearing the devil by hand.

"What's your name?" Li Guanqi suddenly fell in love with talent. Today is really the happiest day since I became emperor. first tasted the joy of being a man, and then discovered the talent of Lu Yunhai, and now that he has met such a fierce general, it is difficult to be unhappy.

"Back to the emperor, the minister's name is He Ziming. He is now a third-class guard. The guard kowtowed.

"You can give birth to a cracked python, and you're actually a third-class guard?" Li Guanqi asked suspiciously? At this time, he also learned the rank of the guards around him: they were divided into guards with swords, guards in front of the king, first-class guards, second-class guards and the lowest third-class guards.

"Minister......" He Ziming wanted to speak and stopped.

"Okay, you don't have to say it." Li Guanqi has already recalled, although he is not a person of this era, but when it is, the society is almost the same. Many errands like guards are from noble children, and the speed of promotion does not depend on the level of ability, but on the size of the family's power. This He Ziming is a simple man at first glance, not a high-ranking official, and he must be ostracized at ordinary times.

This kind of person is easy to win over, as long as you are really good to him. Li Guanqi is worried that there is no one who can trust him, and now is the opportunity to subdue He Ziming.

After thinking for a while, Li Guanqi said loudly: "Someone." Immediately, the eunuch of the Qinzheng Palace agreed and ran over.

"Write it down. He Ziming has a meritorious escort, and from now on, he is no longer a third-class guard, but my personal bodyguard. ”

"Personal bodyguard?" The eunuch who was about to record was dumbfounded, "What position is this?" ”

"The personal bodyguard is where I go, and he follows him." Li Guanqi said with a grin, "Rank above the guards with swords in front of the emperor." I am directly responsible to me, and I don't have to listen to what others say. That's it. ”

Although He Ziming had expected that the emperor would definitely reward him, he did not expect such a big reward. Why does the emperor trust himself so much? My mind was in a mess for a moment, and I stayed where I was.

"What? You still don't want to? Li Guanqi tilted his head and asked.

He Ziming came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly kowtowed again and again: "The emperor will not give up and regard him as a confidant." In the future, as long as there is still a breath, I will do my best to serve the emperor. Pledge allegiance in life and end in death! ”

"Alright. Needless to say, I listen to a lot of good things every day, and there is no shortage of you. Since I use you, I believe in your faithfulness and ability. Li Guanqi smiled and said, "I am going to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother now, you go and change your clothes first, and then I will talk to you alone." ”

"Your Majesty."

Li Guanqi was angry at Jin Baobao just now, of course, because he thought the slave was rude, but there was another reason that he didn't want to see the Queen Mother very much, his "mother" - the Queen Mother.

The title of Queen Mother sounds quite old, but Queen Mother You is actually just in her early thirties, although she is not particularly charming, but she is also charming, her eyes are vivid, she smiles, and looks forward to her life.

Such a beautiful woman is particularly lethal to men of Li Guanqi's age, but she is Li Guanqi's nominal mother, do you say that it is embarrassing when you meet? Therefore, during this time, Li Guanqi always tried to avoid meeting with the Empress Dowager You, but fortunately, during the mourning period of the first emperor, there was a legitimate reason not to pass.

Now that Empress Dowager You sent Jin Baobao Baba to ask her to go over to narrate, Li Guanqi couldn't make any more excuses, so he had to take advantage of the shoulder and go towards Cining Palace.

The emperor crossed one gate after another and walked through the imperial city without hurrying. Li Guanqi has been traveling for 27 days, and only then did he have the opportunity and mood to take a closer look at the imperial city of the Great Qian Dynasty. I saw a solemn and solemn majestic palace, magnificent atmosphere, which made people look forward to it and feel awe.

Unconsciously, he had come to the gate of Cining Palace. Before the emperor stopped, he heard the sound of warblers in the courtyard, Li Guanqi raised his eyes, and saw the palace ladies in the Cining Palace with their long skirts swaying to the ground, beaded buns and sideburns, looking at it from a distance, as if they were in the fairyland of Yaochi.

With the personal eunuch Xiao Ying shouting, "The emperor has arrived!" The shoulder slowly stopped. Gong E, who was inside and outside the gate of Cining Palace, hurriedly flashed on the side of the road, and Ying Ying bowed down. The palace clothes are colorful and gorgeous, as if flowers fill the road.

Li Guanqi, who had been fighting with Yue'er in the bathroom for a long time just now, couldn't help but sigh secretly in the face of spring in his eyes, no wonder emperors in history generally don't live long. In this imperial city, there are stunning beauties in the world, as long as the emperor is willing, he can sleep all day long, and spend candles in the cave room at night, but which of these beauties is not the master of a man's life? The result of singing night after night is often a short life. If you want to live longer, you still have to be a little more restrained in this regard.

But this thing seems to be difficult to control......
