Tang Mao, as a great eunuch, was very favored by the emperor, and had a close relationship with Zu Donglai, and he had always been used to flying and domineering, but at this time, the three souls were scared away on the spot, because Li Guanqi is also the emperor of the day no matter how he says, whether it is to monitor the emperor or plot to assassinate the emperor, it is a crime of killing the head, in case this master is unhappy and rewards himself with a rod, it will be miserable.

At that moment, Tang Mao was busy kowtowing again and again: "The emperor spares his life." The slave would never dare to have that heart. "He is the eunuch of the Qinzheng Palace, and he knows which gold brick in the hall kowtows loudly. Now I'm really scared, I don't care about finding a place, so I slammed on the spot, and the sound was like beating a drum, and my forehead was blue on the spot.

After all, Li Guanqi has crossed over from modern times, and the concept of hierarchy is not so deep-rooted, seeing that his words made Tang Mao's head swell, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and said in a slightly slow tone: "What are you doing behind the curtain probing your brain?" ”

Tang Mao hurriedly replied: "The slave maid wants to come in and ask the emperor if he wants to deliver dinner, and there are He guards waiting outside the palace to be summoned." ”

Only then did Li Guanqi remember that he had told He Ziming that he would summon him alone, but he didn't want to let Tang Mao go, and continued to reprimand: "The most annoying thing for me is the person who is secretly making trouble, if you have something, you can come in generously, what does it look like to be sneaky?" ”

Tang Mao listened to Li Guanqi's words, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The emperor's lesson is that slaves and maids must pay attention in the future." ”

Li Guanqi slowed down a little and said, "You go and ask He Ziming to come in, and inform the imperial dining room to cook a few dishes casually, and bring them here, and I will eat them with He Ziming." It's over, go and call Yue'er in. ”

"Yue'er?" Tang Mao didn't know who Yue'er was, and when he heard it, he unconsciously muttered a sentence in his mouth.

"He was the one who served me in the morning and bathed." Li Guanqi said angrily, "Shangfusi's." I really don't know how you became this eunuch. ”

This sentence scared Tang Mao enough, and he kowtowed again and again in a hurry: "The slave is stupid, I hope the emperor will forgive the sin." ”

"." Li Guanqi waved his sleeves impatiently.

"Yes, yes. Then the slave and the maid went to give the decree. Tang Mao almost crawled out with a roll.

"Come back." Li Guanqi broke off again.

Tang Mao was already a frightened bird, and knelt down again on the spot with the words.

Li Guanqi was really a little angry and funny, stretched out his finger and pointed to the paperweight on the ground, and said, "Look at your little bit of energy!" Pick up the paperweight for me. ”

"Hey, yes." Tang Mao hurriedly picked up the paperweight and put it on the dragon book case, and then exited the door upside down.

After a while, I heard someone outside the hall report loudly: "The personal bodyguard He Ziming has come to see the emperor!" ”

Li Guanqi straightened up and said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

He Ziming flashed into the hall, this was his first official audience, and he knelt three times and bowed nine times according to the prescribed audience etiquette, and then raised his head.

Li Guanqi sat upright and accepted the salute, with a solemn and solemn expression. The successive events made him understand that life after crossing over is not as simple as he imagined, and he can do whatever he wants as he is written in some travel novels.

Even if you are now a Ninety-Five, it is difficult to predict what the consequences will be if you make a mistake. Now kneeling in front of him, this martial arts master is the first henchman he intends to recruit, but it is still unknown whether he is worth his sincerity. Hopefully, the decision I'm about to make is the right one.

Li Guanqi didn't speak, and He Ziming didn't say a word.

After a long while, Li Guanqi picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of paper, got up and paced in front of He Ziming after writing, and said word by word: "He Ziming, how do I treat you?" ”

He Ziming didn't expect the emperor's first sentence to ask this, so do you still need to say it? He kowtowed three times and replied: "The minister is a martial artist, and he has no merit, the emperor will not give up, and he will be promoted to a personal bodyguard, and the emperor will treat the ministers with the grace of heaven and earth, although the ministers are full of liver and brains, it is difficult to report in case!" ”

Li Guanqi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "If I have something to do with you, can you handle it?" ”

He Ziming suddenly straightened his upper body and replied categorically: "Those who are courtiers should be loyal in life and die in death." ”

Li Guanqi shook his head and said, "I don't want you to die, I want you to live well and do things for me." ”

He Ziming said solemnly: "The ministers will swear to protect the emperor to the death!" ”

Li Guanqi nodded and said, "It is your duty to protect my safety, but I have more important things to do with you. ”

He Ziming's face also became solemn, and he replied in a deep voice: "Please ask the emperor to order." ”

Li Guanqi waved his hand at the palace maid in the hall and said, "You all go down, without my will, no one is allowed to step into the Qinzheng Hall for half a step." He had to be cautious, the eunuchs and palace maids around the emperors of all dynasties were the best candidates for all forces to spy on the emperor's news. The palace maids in this palace are hard to ensure that they do not have the work of secret agents.

When there were only two people left in the hall, he and He Ziming, Li Guanqi turned around and took off the sword on the wall, handed it to He Ziming with both hands and said: "I will give you the Son of Heaven Sword now, and in the future, you will follow me around, enter and exit the palace, and the sword and armor will not be solved!" ”

"Huh?" He Ziming didn't expect the emperor to suddenly give him so much power, this was the second time he saw the emperor, and he didn't dare to take the sword for a while.

"What? You don't want to? Li Guanqi asked.

He Ziming raised his hands and took the sword, and replied in a choked voice: "Thank you!" Tears had already flowed down my cheeks, and I wanted to speak, but I felt that my chest was so hot that I couldn't say a word. Li Guanqi guessed right, people at this time have a strong sense of loyalty, a person like He Ziming who has no talents, once you are really good to him, he will willingly work for you.

Li Guanqi calmed down a little and said, "Now that you are my confidant, I have nothing to hide from you." Although I am a noble ninety-five, I don't have a single person of my own. You are my first person of my own. What I have commanded you below is a major matter that has given you my fortune and life, and I hope I have not trusted the wrong person. ”

He Ziming understood that it was superfluous to say anything now, but he also looked at Li Guanqi, his eyes full of loyalty and perseverance.

"Okay." Li Guanqi nodded, picked up the piece of paper that had just been written on the dragon book case, and said, "The first thing I want you to do is to secretly visit the Ouchi guards to find out who among them is loyal and who is traitorous, and select a group of chivalrous martyrs, which are under your personal command and are not subject to anyone's control." After that, the inner court was slowly and gradually changed. This is my own secret decree for you to do. ”
