Chapter 13: Promotion

Fan Zeng knew that the emperor favored Wu Yang, but he didn't expect that he would be favored to such an extent.

At the age of less than the weak crown, he was promoted to the commander of the five fingers, and he held five hundred personal servants, which was the elite of the elite of the Great Song Forbidden Army. Now he is going to be promoted to be the Imperial City Division, and his status is second only to the Imperial City Division, which is one level greater than the Imperial City Division's "one-eyed" Xiaolong and "Crow" Dugumu.

The emperor's guards of the Great Song Dynasty were divided into five layers from pro to sparse, in order: one heavy for the pro-subordinate officials, one heavy for the military attache of the wide clothes, one heavy for the imperial dragon bow and arrow, one heavy for the imperial dragon bone and one heavy for the imperial dragon.

As the closest personal guard to the emperor, the pro-servant officer has the role of checking and balancing the front division of the palace, which shows how important and trusted the pro-servant officer is in command.

As the emperor's domestic slave and personal guard, the Imperial City Division held five commands of personal servants, a total of 2,500 people, known as the upper five fingers; There were six commands of the officers, a total of three thousand, and they were called the Lower Six Fingers; There were 200 people in the inner courtyard, 100 people in the fast line, and 3 people in the driver's house. This dynasty added 30 people to guard the inner courtyard and Cao Si.

The highest prefect of the Imperial City Division is called the Imperial City Division, usually filled by the prince or the prince, and the current Imperial City Division is one of the adopted sons of the Emperor Zhao Gou, Zhao Xuan, the king of Enping County, who is under the Imperial City Division, the "one-eyed" Xiaolong and the "crow" Dugumu, and the Imperial City Division between the promotion and the promotion has been vacant.

People who are familiar with the political affairs of this dynasty know that Zhao Xuan, the king of Enping County, is a decoration to promote the Imperial City Division, and the real power is in the hands of the emperor.

If that's all it is, the emperor still intends to hand over the secret spy department to Wu Yang. You must know that all the secret spy department has is information exchanges between countries, and the slightest carelessness may lead to a series of disasters and the destruction of the country.

Because of the importance involved, the secret spy department of the Great Song Dynasty has always been controlled by the inner court, that is, the eunuchs. The Great Song Dynasty has been in charge of the secret spy department for exactly two hundred years, and there has never been a precedent for a foreign minister to take charge of the secret spy department, could it be that this little Wu Lord wants to become the first person in charge of the secret spy department in the Great Song Dynasty as a foreign minister?

If he hadn't personally investigated Wu Yang's background, Fan Zeng couldn't help but suspect that Wu Yang was the emperor's own son at all!

Wu Yang didn't know what Fan Zeng was thinking, he used to hold Fan Zeng's arm affectionately: "Father-in-law Fan, Wu Yang is young, please ask father-in-law for more guidance in the future!" ”

Fan Zeng was a little flattered, not to mention that Wu Yang was now a big celebrity in front of the emperor, just because he was in Wu Luan and Wu Shaobao's family was enough to make people of humble status look up to them.

Fan had sat in the position of the palm seal of the secret spy department for many years, and naturally he had seen all kinds of people in the world, those people were afraid, or ridiculed, or disgusted, but they were not close and affectionate, and he suddenly understood why Wang Muen was willing to risk being suspicious of the emperor in the imperial study just now, and he repeatedly defended this little Wu Lord and asked the emperor for him.

"Mention the adult, but if you ask, the old slave knows everything!"

"The holy decree has not yet been issued, and it is time to impeach the boy for rebellion when the officials hear it!" Wu Yang waved his hand and said sadly, "Just now Your Majesty said that three things are one thing, what does your father-in-law think?" I'm young and inexperienced, and I don't know where to start to find that thread? ”

"Your Majesty has said it personally, the holy decree is also a matter of one night, and the old slave called Lord Tidian one night in advance, not an exaggeration, not an exaggeration!"

Fan Zeng laughed, and then said: "Lord Tidian used to rush and kill in the battle formation in the past, and he didn't know much about these sinister and treacherous things. The current Lin'an City looks like it is full of turmoil, but in fact, there are two things, clearing Yue Fei's grievances and establishing a reserve. The reason why Your Majesty said two things is one thing, because Your Majesty sees the general trend! Lord Wu, what is the general trend of my internal and external situation now? ”

Wu Yang's eyes lit up: "Song-Jin war? ”

"Lord Wu is right!" Fan Zeng was quite a little embarrassed, but thinking that Wu Yang was relieved that he was from Xingzhou Mansion, he continued, "The Secret Spy Department and the Imperial City Department both have their own intelligence systems, although the people targeted are different, but they are all the same inside, if a person wants to make trouble, there are always interests and demands behind him, and it is not difficult to find out the people who are doing things after figuring out the interests and demands." ”

"Now that the wind and waves in Lin'an City are urgent, Lord Wu needs to be stable, and if he is stable, maybe a fish will automatically float up!"

"The kid has been taught, thank you Grandpa Fan."

Fan Zeng turned sideways slightly to avoid Wu Yang's salute, and continued: "Now Lord Wu only needs to take a good look at Lin'an City and not intensify the contradictions. Yue Fei's spy system has been around for a long time, and the contact has been cut off, our family must order someone to sort it out, but this is not good for correspondence, so our family will let Kui Zhong's kid be a messenger, and Lord Wu will come to the secret spy department to find me if he has any questions and needs. ”

"Thank you Father-in-law Fan, Wu said goodbye!"

Knowing that Kui Zhong's kid was safe and sound, and it happened to be at the fork in the road again, Wu Yang gave his leave, Fan Zeng turned back to the secret spy department located on the west side of the palace, and Wu Yang continued to go straight out of the palace.

Wu Yang returned to the official room, Bai Yu was already asleep, his two long legs were overlapped, his head was tilted on the Taishi chair, and there was a trace of fatigue on his handsome face.

Wu Yang kicked his long leg mercilessly, "Get out of the way, block the way!" ”

Bai Yu sat up straight, rubbed his worried eyes, and muttered, "Why did you come back?" I'm grumbling with hunger right now, no, I'm going to have my stomach full! ”

Bai Yu is the head of the family official who is responsible for serving as Chazi this season, although he is subordinate to the six fingers, but because the two have fought in the battle against bandits along the border, the friendship is unusual.

It's okay not to mention it, as soon as Bai Yu said, Wu Yang suddenly felt so hungry that he couldn't stand it, he was busy from the morning to now, and it was almost time to turn the lamp, except for eating some braised boiled and burritos at noon to fill his stomach, he was already hungry at the end of the day.

Wu Yang beckoned to Changji: "Go and call a table to come, and see who the brothers on duty today are, and then talk about it when they have filled their stomachs." ”

"Howler!"

Nagayoshi said yes and ran out in a hurry.

While waiting for dinner, Wu Yang said to Bai Yu, "What did you think about what I told you last time?" Would you like to come and help me? ”

Bai Yu is just a small team in the lower six fingers, no grade and no rank, and he is not even a serious "official".

There is no way, the lower six fingers of the Imperial City Division belong to the family officials, and all the soldiers are selected from the military team in Lin'an City, everyone is from the same background, they all come from military families, and the only difference is probably the position of their parents. Bai Yu's father was just a small Qianzong in the forbidden army, and he couldn't even afford a bubble in Lin'an City, which was full of schools.

Wu Yang's upper five fingers are called the pro-servant officers, from the commander to the ordinary soldiers are all selected from the pro-officer, not only brave, but also the height is 5 feet 9 inches and 1 minute, and now the height is about 185 cm, and the age must be under 35 years old, so as to ensure that every pro-servant officer is the elite of the elite.

As the emperor's closest guard, the treatment of the pro-servant official is naturally the best, dangling in front of the emperor all day long, making a little merit, and being promoted is naturally the fastest.

Bai Yu leaned on the chair and said in a hurry: "I wanted to come, but do you know that I don't deal with our four-fingered commander, and if he doesn't let go, how can I leave?" ”

"This is easy, as long as you are willing to come, I will take care of some trivial things!"

Bai Yu's eyes lit up: "Listen to your tone, this is a promotion?" What officials were promoted? Are all commanders? No, our Imperial City Division does not have this position! ”

Wu Yang said vaguely: "It is about a rise in the headquarters of the Imperial City Division, and now the holy decree has not come down, and when it comes down, I will go to your command to ask for someone!" ”

Although Bai Yu was curious, since Wu Yang didn't want to say it, he didn't ask anymore. It happened that the banquet that Changji called was also delivered, and Wu Yang invited the two relatives and brothers who escorted the prisoners and the brothers on duty today to join the table, but these people refused anything, and in the end, Bai Yu accompanied Wu Yang to a table, and Changji took those brothers to sit at another table.

They were all rough men in the army, and they couldn't drink alcohol during the banquet, and a few people ate the food cleanly, and then they returned to their duties.
