Suzaku Street in Beijing.

This is the most prosperous long street in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people who live in it are basically the high-ranking officials and important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the deepest part of Suzaku Street, there is a magnificent mansion, the vermilion door is red paint, and the plaque is the first emperor himself to mention the book "University Scholar's Mansion".

There was more than one bachelor in the Great Zhou court, but only one person's mansion could be called a university scholar's mansion.

This person is the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the crown prince Taibao Zhang Xiren.

When he was young, he scolded the emperor's grandfather on the spot in order to kill the traitorous ministers, and he was almost beheaded, and everyone was dragged to the guillotine before being rescued.

Later, he served as the three emperors, and he was called the elder of the three dynasties, and he was very famous in the temples and in the rivers and lakes.

This magnificent scholar's mansion was built during the period of the first emperor, but it is only magnificent in appearance, and most of the rooms inside are only made of papier-mâché windows, which is too different from the colorful glass in the homes of other officials.

Even these rooms are not fully equipped with furniture and benches.

Because most of Zhang Xiren's money was donated to those poor scholars, he himself was just coarse tea and light rice, and a quilt was enough.

At this time, in the slightly humble lobby, Zhang Xiren sat on a small bench, holding a fan to fan the wind.

Jiang Xuerou was standing beside him, talking to Zhang Xiren about the day's events.

It's not that she doesn't want to sit, it's that it's a little unsightly for a big girl to sit on a small bench in a skirt.

After Jiang Xuerou finished speaking, she looked angry: "Senior brother was seriously injured by the eagle dog of the Imperial Guard, and even the wind sword given by the master was cut off by the other party.

I'm afraid that my senior brother will leave some old wounds, so I will send him back to the Heavenly Sword Gate to heal first.

My lord, the Imperial Guard is so arrogant that he kills people on trumped-up charges in broad daylight, and we really can't do anything about it? ”

Although Jiang Xuerou remained rational during the day and did not continue to conflict with Yang Sheng and them, she still couldn't swallow this breath in her heart.

Zhang Xiren took a sip of the tea foam, shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Yunchang has been a little too much over the years.

He wants fame, and I can help him open Qinghu Academy in several states and counties throughout the Great Zhou.

If he wants an official position, I can also recommend him as an official, as long as he can start from the grassroots level.

As a result, he relied on his reputation to comment on the government and insult the ministers, especially before he forced Gongsun Ju, the general of the Northern Army, to death.

In my Great Zhou, the army was governed by civil ministers, in case the border generals evolved into warlords and led to rebellions.

Although the military is weak in this environment, it is not a soft persimmon to be slaughtered.

As soon as this incident came out, most of the civil servants on the court side did not help Brother Yunchang speak, and the military was even more down.

His Majesty even said only one sentence: Such villains, they should be killed!

Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, and his position on anything involving the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother is definitely on the side of the royal family.

The person who guarded the Imperial Division was too vicious, and a trumped-up charge not only crushed Brother Yunchang to death, but also crushed the reputation he had accumulated over the years.

Even the entire Qinghu Academy was destroyed in one fell swoop, and those disciples did not dare to admit that they were from the Qinghu Academy, lest they be liquidated in the future. ”

When he said this, Zhang Xiren's face was sad and pity.

It was he who invited Huang Yunchang to come to the capital to open Qinghu Academy, wanting to strengthen the literary style of the capital and let the scholarly atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River leave a seed in the capital.

I didn't expect that years of hard work would be dissipated today.

Zhang Xiren looked at Jiang Xuerou and said, "Bring a word to the head of your Heavenly Sword Sect for me and say sorry."

Yue Zhongli Shaoxia was working under me, but I failed to protect him, it was my Zhang Xiren who was incompetent. ”

Jiang Xuerou hurriedly said: "Don't say that, my lord, the head of the sect also said that the senior brother was too reckless, and he did it without finding out the other party's information to end up like this, but it was my Heavenly Sword Sect that dragged down the adult."

Don't worry, my lord, before my senior brother recovers from his injuries, my Heavenly Sword Sect will send a senior uncle to assist you. ”

The rivers and lakes and temples are two worlds, but they are also inseparable.

If these big factions want to have a place in the rivers and lakes, or take a piece of the pie in this troubled world, they naturally have to choose a powerful and stable person to cooperate.

It's as if Hongmen supported Sun Yat-sen at the beginning.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was a righteous sect, so it was naturally impossible for them to choose the anti-thief cooperation of the Thirty-six Giant Kou and the Holy Duke of Miaojiang.

Zhang Xiren, as an important minister of the dynasty, has a high official position and a great reputation, which is the perfect partner to work with.

Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Sect had contact with Zhang Xiren a few years ago, and at the beginning, it only sent people to protect Zhang Xiren, and later sent many disciples to act directly under Zhang Xiren's orders.

Zhang Xiren took a sip of the high crushed in the cup, and said with a long breath: "In troubled times, maybe there will be some demons."

Didn't the Holy Father's Zhang Liang still claim that he has seventy-two supernatural powers, which can move mountains and reclaim the sea and recreate heaven and earth.

Before, Han Jin's old eunuch was just doing things insidiously, but he was small-bellied and short-sighted, so he didn't have to worry about it.

But according to what you said, Yang Sheng, who just joined the Imperial Guard, is not an ordinary character, and he may be a big trouble for us in the future.

In short, be careful during this time. ”

"Yes, sir."

Jiang Xuerou retired, but she still couldn't forget Yang Sheng's ruthless methods in her mind.

They seem to be the first time they have seen the cruelty of reality, which is far from what they can compare to killing a few robbers and exterminating a gang of bandits when they are training.

At this time, after Yang Sheng got the warrant from Han Gonggong, he first went to set up a set with Zhang Meng, and asked the other party about some of the duties and powers of the Imperial Guard Division and what they needed to do on weekdays.

In fact, the duties and powers of the Imperial Commander are very broad.

Internally, the main purpose of the Imperial Guard Division is to protect the safety of the imperial city, and it belongs to the emperor's army.

Externally, the Imperial Guard Division can supervise hundreds of officials and arrest criminals.

For the enemy, the Imperial Guard Division can also play a role in probing military intelligence, undercover intelligence and so on.

But Father-in-law Han is too petty to do things, and he doesn't have a complete plan for the Imperial Guard Division at all, and he wants to meddle in everything, but he doesn't intervene in anything.

Of course, Gonggong Han also has an advantage, that is, he is very trusted by the emperor.

When the first emperor was there, Gonggong Han was the personal eunuch chief of His Majesty today, and he has always accompanied His Majesty to grow up, and later naturally became the head of the Ouchi and was in charge of the Imperial Guard.

The love affair more than 40 years ago has been divided, as long as Gonggong Han does not rebel, there will be almost no problems.

But in other words, it doesn't make any sense for him to rebel as a eunuch.

Finally, Zhang Meng patted Yang Sheng's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Brother Yang, you have a life-saving grace for me, so I have to tell you some things that shouldn't be said."

In the fight under Han Gonggong, the most important thing is to get things done well and don't go wrong.

That one is notoriously mean and unkind, don't look at him praising you now, if something really happens, I'm sure to be the first to throw you out. ”

Yang Sheng smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Zhang for the reminder." ”

Although this Zhang Meng is a person from the Imperial Guard, he is from the forbidden army, so he is more rude and righteous, and he even tells Yang Sheng about this kind of taboo.

In fact, this is also the experience that Zhang Meng has accumulated over the years in the Imperial Guard.

I don't know how much I have suffered.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Meng, Yang Sheng went straight back to the side hall of the Imperial Guard Division where he was.

The captain of the Imperial Guard Division has a five-rank official position, and he can already be regarded as a middle-level officer.

There are twenty-seven lieutenants in the entire Imperial Guard, who are responsible for the external armed forces.

There are also twelve envoys in charge, who are responsible for logistics and intelligence and other miscellaneous affairs, all of which are eunuchs.

Because there are dozens of people under the command of each captain of the Imperial Guard, and there are hundreds of people, each person has a separate side hall, and there are barracks, martial arts arenas and other places in the backyard.

After all, it is the emperor's pro-army, so this imperial guard is not bad for money, and he is very generous.

In the martial arts arena of the side hall, Chen Da was practicing a set of stick techniques, while Yin Wuxian was staring at a small stone hanging from his hair, and stabbed it with a sword when it swayed rapidly.

Only Ye Meiniang leaned on the chair, drinking a glass of juice made from messy and poisonous fruits that I don't know what to use, and looked at the two people in front of her boredly.

"Mei Niang, give me a few more hairs."

Ye Meiniang said angrily: "Practice all day long, practice your broken sword!" The old lady's hair is going to be wiped out by you! ”

At this time, seeing Yang Sheng walking in, Ye Meiniang simply tore off a few hairs and stuffed them to Yin Wuxie, twisted her slender waist and walked over, and stuffed the juice in her hand into Yang Sheng's hand.

"My lord, try it, my newly blended juice is an aphrodisiac."

Yang Sheng glanced at the slightly turbid liquid and didn't dare to drink it, but just waved his hand and said, "From now on, we will be regarded as the official Imperial Guard."

However, everyone should be careful in doing things in the future, and it is best not to act alone. ”

After instructing them to take some precautions, Yang Sheng suddenly asked, "By the way, how do you distinguish strength on the rivers and lakes?" Rely on the strength of internal forces? ”

Yang Sheng had just come to this world the day before yesterday, and his first thought was naturally how to open up the situation, and it was not until today that he wanted to take a closer look at the composition of the power system of this world.
