Chapter 199: The Corridor Pavilion

The Great Zhou has two capitals, the east and the west, the west is Yongzhou Hojing, and Tokyo is the divine capital.

The capital of the gods is the residence of the Son of Heaven, which is not only built by relying on the shape of mountains and rivers, but also set up heavy guards. From the outside of the divine capital, to the palace, and then to the bedroom of the Son of Heaven, layers of protection.

Inside and outside the Shendu, there were two armies, the north and the south, which were led by the guard lieutenant and the lieutenant respectively. The southern army guarded the palace, the temple, and the royal garden, while the northern army was the central standing army of the empire with great responsibilities.

Not only that, but in the palace, there are two armies, Yulin and Qimen, which are responsible for guarding the safety of the Son of Heaven, and are led by Guangluxun.

Wei Wei, Lieutenant, and Guangluxun all belong to Jiuqing. The counselor is Guangluxun's subordinate, and he is also one of the few officials in the Great Zhou Empire who can go to the palace to face the monarch and participate in the court meeting with 600 stones.

At the height of the Great Zhou Empire, successive Zhou emperors were worried that the power of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors was too heavy and would threaten the authority of the Son of Heaven, so it took nearly two hundred years to divide and refine the power held by these official positions. Even for a long time, around the Shendu, there were no northern and southern armies, only many captains. And most of the three princes and nine secretaries have also become fictitious positions, and even honorary titles.

Since Huan Wu took charge of the Shendu, he changed the old practice, unified the military power, re-established the northern and southern armies, and restored the functions and powers of the guard, lieutenant and Guangluxun, and all of them were held by the Huan clan.

Huan Wu controlled all the forces inside and outside the Divine Capital, and even around the Son of Heaven's dormitory, they were his eyes and ears.

Among the many official positions held by the Huan clan, Guangluxun is the most important one. Guanglu Xun is under the jurisdiction of a huge institution, which controls all aspects of the specific affairs within the palace.

Huan Yi, who served as Guangluxun, is also Yang Xian's boss today, he is not too old, his generation is not small, he has two mustaches, and he looks handsome and elegant.

Among the Huan clan, Huan Yi is not considered to be a military achievement, nor is he highly respected, nor can he even be regarded as a hardcore pro-Liang faction. On the contrary, he had a very good relationship with the former ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and even the Xia clan, and even sympathized with the Son of Heaven, and was not as arrogant as the rest of the Huan clan.

It is precisely because of this that Huan Wu appointed him as Guangluxun, in order to reconcile the already dangerous relationship between the two sides.

Although Huan Wu is the most powerful person in the divine capital and even in the world, he is still a minister. As long as it is a minister, the cloth between him and the Son of Heaven that covers the rift will not be removed, nor can it be removed.

Twelve years ago, after Chen Shi's death, the cooperative relationship between Huan Wu and the Son of Heaven completely collapsed. At that time, most of the people in the Huan clan wanted Huan Wu to abolish the Son of Heaven and establish himself as the emperor. In this way, these Huan clan members have become the real blood of the Heavenly Family, the royal family.

At that time, within the Huan clan, only a few people, including Huan Yi, objected, and Huan Wu finally adopted Huan Yi's words.

In fact, it also proved that Huan Yi's strategy of opposing Huan Wu's claim to emperor was a correct decision.

In the Huan clan, Huan Yi is an outlier. He was not as eager for quick success as other clansmen within the Huan clan, and even once said that when today's son is a Dao Mingjun, he was just born at the wrong time.

In the past 12 years, Huan Yi has maintained the relationship between the two sides that is on the verge of collapse to a stable state.

In the palace, Huan Yi walked in front of Guangluxun's official office and took Yang Xian to a cubicle.

"That's the paperwork you're dealing with."

Although the palace is large, the land is also tight. The counselor was only a petty official of 600 stones, and all he could be assigned to was a small cubicle less than a foot before and after one side of the window was opened.

The counsellor is in charge of the discussion, and has the right to face the king. But if today's son is all imaginary, the world's major politics are presided over by Huan Wu, and the court meeting has become a faΓ§ade, not to mention this counselor.

Yang Xian nodded slightly, looked at the documents on the table, and the records on them were all trivial things.

Some say that the price of food in Shendu is too high, some say that the stray dogs on the street should be managed, and some say that fishermen fight to disturb the style of the imperial capital........

All in all, these things are not in the hands of Yang Xian, the counselor. The price of grain is too high, there is a pacification order, there is a government army to maintain law and order, and it is not his turn to worry about supervising the city's appearance.

This is a grocery store, looking at Yang Xian, Huan Yi is smiling.

"Counseling a doctor is an idle job, but there are a lot of things to do, and you slowly get used to it."

Just as Huan Yi was about to leave, there was a sound of footsteps outside the corridor.

Huan Ying walked over with a smile, patted Huan Yi's shoulder, and glanced at Yang Xian.

"Uncle Yi, I'm coming to see you!"

Huan Yi frowned, and his voice was a little stern.

"Nonsense! This is the residence of the Son of Heaven, the forbidden place of the palace, how did you get in? ”

Huan Ying's face was full of smiles. Her Uncle Yi is generally not angry, but it is quite scary to be angry.

"I said hello to Captain Li, who was guarding the door, and he let me in. Uncle Yi, can't you still trust me? ”

Huan Ying was coquettish, and Huan Yi was helpless when she saw it.

"These people, it's time to take care of them!"

Huan Ying pulled Yang Xian up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Huan Yi.

"Wang Ren still has a lot of official business waiting for Wang Ren to solve, where are you going to take him?"

"Isn't it just some paperwork, it's all some in the corners, what does it matter if you deal with it a day later? There is a lantern festival tonight, and I will take Wang Ren to leave first! ”

For this little niece, Huan Yi sometimes really has no choice. Seeing that Huan Ying took Yang Xian through the corridor, it attracted everyone's attention and heated discussions for a while. Huan Yi shook his head, a smirk on his face.

"This Wang Ren really has two hits."

Not long after Huan Ying left, an attendant walked through the corridor and came to Huan Yi.

As the slaves of the Son of Heaven, these servants used to have great rights. It was during the period when Guangluxun was ineffective that the eunuch group headed by Zhongchang Shi controlled most of the affairs in the palace.

It's just that now, the glory of the middle attendants has long passed, and these inner servants have also become the last guards of the Son of Heaven.

"Lord Guangluxun, summoned by the Son of Heaven."

Huan Yi's body, he didn't see the rest of the people facing the arrogance of this group of chamberlains, so he leaned over very slightly and asked, "I don't know what the Son of Heaven summoned me, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"I don't know this little one. It's just that the Son of Heaven also summoned the two adults Taifu and Shang Shuling at the same time. ”

"I see."

Huan Yi nodded, and there was an uncontrollable palpitation in his heart. For so many years, he had been careful to maintain the fragile balance between the Huan clan and the Son of Heaven.

But now it seems that this balance, with Yang Chun about to enter Beijing, can no longer be maintained.

Huan Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if possible, in his lifetime, he would not want to see the scene of the Huan clan usurping the throne. But there are some things that he can't master.
