Li Baoquan really brought Chu Dingguo here.

His situation was much better than Ye Qianhuai imagined.

Except for the bandages on his right arm and leg, there was no major problem in other places.

After Li Baoquan led the people in, he took them to the door and left. Only Ye Tianhuai and Chu Dingguo were left in the Qinxian Palace.

Regarding the emperor's secret summons, Chu Dingguo did not seem surprised.

He half-knelt down and said, "The last general will see Your Majesty." ”

"Get up." Ye Tianhuai said to him with a pleasant face, "You are injured, don't stand, sit down." ”

Chu Dingguo stood up, saluted, and then sat down on the wooden chair on the side.

"General Chu, I heard Li Baoquan say that you have served in Shengjingzhong for more than ten years from the Gyeonggi Guard to the Forbidden Army, but I haven't heard that you have any family members, are you in other places?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general is a person from Zhongzhou, his ancestors make a living, I am the only one in the army in the family, and my uncles and brothers still go to the rivers and lakes, so there are not many contacts."

"General Chu is in his forties this year, right? Didn't you marry and have children? ”

"I had a wife who fell ill and died. He had no children under his knees, only two daughters, both of whom were married. ”

"Haven't you ever thought about continuing?"

Chu Dingguo lowered his head a little embarrassed, and said, "The last general has no long things, and he is old again, so it is not good to delay other girls." ”

Ye Tianhuai restrained his smile, paused, and said: "General Chu won the head of the martial arts school at the age of eighteen, and he became famous at a young age. Now that he has passed the age and is still condescending to the position of a school captain, is there no unwillingness in his heart? ”

Chu Dingguo was shocked when he heard this, and immediately got up and knelt down in front of Ye Tianhuai, and said loudly: "The last general is willing to serve His Majesty!" ”

Ye Tianhuai smiled lightly and said, "I haven't said I want to use you yet." ”

Chu Dingguo was stunned, a little embarrassed for a while, and he didn't kneel or kneel.

"I don't know anything." Ye Tianhuai looked at him and asked, "You have been in the right guard for five years, and you have never been in the wrong pool, why did you suddenly turn back yesterday in the East Gate?" ”

Chu Dingguo's expression darkened, and he said, "The last general thinks they are wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The forbidden army should be Your Majesty's forbidden army, and whatever Your Majesty wants to do, the forbidden army should be a sword in Your Majesty's hands. They say that His Majesty has been seduced by traitors, but the last general does not think so. Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked directly at Ye Qianhuai, and said, "No one in this world can bewitch an emperor who can even risk his life, Your Majesty knows very well what he wants." ”

His words were direct, although he was not respectful, but he was very useful to Ye Qianhuai.

She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled and asked, "What do you think I want?" ”

"Your Majesty wants to be the master of the people."

Ye Tianhuai laughed, she suddenly felt that Chu Dingguo was a little interesting. Then he asked him, "What can you do for me?" ”

"The last general is willing to be a knife in the hands of His Majesty."

"What if the knife in my hand is going to cut at your former comrades?"

Chu Dingguo paused and replied in a deep voice: "The last general believes in His Majesty's decision. ”

Ye Tianhuai restrained the smile on her face, leaned on the cushion on the back of the chair, and looked down at Chu Dingguo who was kneeling on the ground condescendingly, her expression was bottomless.

After a long time, she said in a calm and slow tone: "I want to make you the general of the right guard of the forbidden army, and order you to rectify the various divisions of the right guard, and anyone who does not obey the emperor's order and commits disrespect, regardless of the size of the official position, the nobility of the family background, and the merit of the meritorious, can be dismissed from the post and asked." Don't make mistakes, but don't kill them in vain. ”

Chu Dingguo listened to the emperor's words with a look of surprise on his face.

"If you do well, I will promote you to the commander of the forbidden army. If you don't do well, I will kill you. Ye Tianhuai paused, suddenly smiled, and said, "You can only do it, and you must do it." ”

Hearing Ye Qianhuai's words, Chu Dingguo's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists and bowed his head and said, "The last will swear with his life and never let His Majesty down!" ”

Ye Qianhuai looked at him, with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he had doubts, seemed to be worried, and seemed to be unbearable, but it was more of a desperate decision.

"Alright, get up. Tell me about the situation of the right guard that you know. ”

Chu Dingguo raised his head and stood up, what he saw was the emperor who was serious and a little gentle again.

---

The two chatted until noon.

Although Chu Dingguo is only a six-rank lieutenant, he still has a lot of understanding of the personnel and establishment of the right yawei, and most of the right yawei are children of the Jingzhong clan, if he does not know the stakes, it is easy to offend people.

He has been able to mingle in the right guard for so many years, and he is still the captain guarding the door, so he is naturally familiar with the relationship.

"The Du Zhengen that Your Majesty said should be from the Du family in Shengjing, and his uncle is the secretary of the Criminal Department."

Du Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"According to the regulations, if the guards commit a crime, they should be handed over to the Criminal Department for disposal." Chu Dingguo said again.

In other words, if Chu Dingguo wants to deal with Du Zhengen for the crime of killing Concubine Lan, he must transfer the relevant criminal evidence to the Criminal Department, and then the Criminal Department will decide the case.

"What is the relationship between Du Zhengen and his uncle?"

"This ...... The last general is not clear. ”

Seeing Ye Tianhuai frowning and pondering, Chu Dingguo said again: "The last general can also take him down directly and execute him secretly in the forbidden army." ”

Chu Dingguo had witnessed the emperor's affection for Concubine Lan, and knew that the emperor had a deep affection for her, and now the news that Concubine Lan was lynched to death by Du Zhengen spread all over the palace, Chu Dingguo thought that the emperor must have hated Du Zhengen, and he had to correct him no matter what.

Therefore, he proposed this, thinking that he could share the emperor's worries.

Clinker, Ye Tianhuai slowly raised his eyes, looked at him coldly and asked, "Slaughtered Du Zhengen quietly, and then what?" Have you ever wondered what would happen to you? ”

Chu Dingguo was stunned, he didn't expect Ye Tianhuai to ask him this question.

Ye Qianhuai continued: "You will be arrested by the Criminal Department on charges of abusing your power and pretending to be public and private, and then Du Jing will do everything possible to give you a good seat and sentence you to death." ”

Chu Dingguo said with a look of indignation: "If you can die for Your Majesty, the last general will not give up!" ”

His eyes sparkled with no fear.

Ye Qianhuai first looked at him with a complicated expression for a while, as if judging whether there was an element of drama in his words and deeds. Seeing that his expression was frank, it should be from the bottom of his heart, Ye Qianhuai relieved his heart.

Then, she frowned fiercely and said angrily, "What did I promote you to be General Wuwei for?" Is it for your life? You are playing with your own head like this, how can you live up to my entrustment! ”

Chu Dingguo never expected the emperor to be furious about this, he quickly knelt down, not daring to speak.

Ye Tianhuai got up and walked to his side to help him up, and said earnestly: "Dingguo, remember, you are not an insignificant captain now, you are the general of the forbidden army." I don't want your life, I want you to keep your life and run errands for me. The forbidden army is the guard of the imperial city, and what they hold in their hands is my net worth and life, and they must ensure that each of them has my heart towards me. ”
