Chapter 4: Seeing Emperor Lihuang for the First Time
"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty summons."
An old eunuch with a full head of gorgeous hair walked out of the Shengtian Palace.
"Grandpa Lu!" Qin Wei looked at the old eunuch and bowed.
Gonggong Lu, Emperor Lihuang's most trusted eunuch, is said to have been by Emperor Lihuang's side since before Emperor Lihuang ascended the throne.
And now Gonggong Lu is the eunuch of the imperial dynasty, and at the same time he is the commander of the imperial city department.
The Imperial City Division is the eyes and ears of Emperor Li, responsible for finding out news and espionage for Emperor Lihuang. There are many secret agents in it, but the specific situation is only known to the Lu Gonggong in front of him, and outsiders don't know anything.
"His Royal Highness, please!" Father-in-law Lu smiled kindly, please.
Qin Wei then entered the Shengtian Hall first.
"Grandpa Lu's health is okay?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Lao County is worried, the old slave's body is quite tough." Lu Gong is fair.
"That's good."
With that, the two of them came to the imperial study.
"Minister Qin Wei greets Your Majesty!"
In the royal court, he was the grandson of the emperor, but in the court he was only a minister.
"Get up, you're not well, you don't need to be polite."
The old man's voice sounded, and Qin Wei stood up and looked at His Majesty Emperor Lihuang, who was sitting on the soft couch in front of him.
On the surface, this is an ordinary old man, but those vicissitudes of life exude a power that cannot be concealed, as if to remind everyone that he is the emperor of the Dali Dynasty.
"Are you feeling better?"
"It's much better."
"I've wronged you!" Emperor Li looked at Qin Wei with a complicated expression.
All along, he didn't value Qin Wei's grandson, if it weren't for Qin Wei's sixteen-year-old and about to receive the grace, he would even forget that he still had such a grandson.
Although he doesn't value it, it doesn't mean that he is willing to let his grandchildren suffer.
It's just that he must now let Qin Wei continue to sit in the position of the commander of the Zhenwu Division.
Because the matter has come to this, to change it is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
"The minister is not aggrieved!" Qin Wei bowed his head and said.
This is a little familiar, and it seems that Lin Zhan said the same to him just now.
Lihuang nodded and said, "Are you afraid?" ”
Qin Wei's heart froze, and he said, "Afraid!" ”
"But the minister won't back down."
This is his statement, and it is also his temptation.
At this time, he wanted to know what this imperial grandfather thought.
Emperor Lihuang looked at him in some surprise, and then burst out laughing.
"Hahaha~~ Yes, this is my good grandson!"
When Qin Wei heard this, the condensed emotions in his heart instantly relaxed.
"As long as the imperial grandfather needs it, the grandson is willing to be the imperial grandfather's pawn and will never back down." Qin Wei said.
Emperor Li's eyes became more and more satisfied when he looked at Qin Wei.
"Excellent! Very good! Very good! ”
He said three in a row very well.
"Go and get my sword."
When Gonggong Lu heard this, he hurriedly brought a gorgeous sword.
Boom!
Emperor Lihuang drew his sword.
This sword is three feet and two inches long, the sword body is cast and thin, with a faint cold light, and the hilt is a golden dragon carving, which looks extremely majestic and the blade is extremely sharp.
"This sword is called Qiushuang Sword, and it has followed the imperial grandfather for more than fifty years, although it has not been used for a long time, the imperial grandfather is still reluctant to throw it away."
He looked at the Autumn Frost Sword in his hand with nostalgia in his eyes.
"Grandpa Huang will give it to you today!"
"Grandson, thank you for the gift of Grandpa!" Qin Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he hurriedly took the Autumn Frost Sword.
It doesn't matter if this sword is good or not, the important thing is that this sword was rewarded by Emperor Li.
Holding the Imperial Sword of the Glass Emperor, coupled with the right of the Zhenwu Division to cut first and then play, it was enough to make Qin Wei run rampant in the Great Glass.
The Autumn Frost Sword was like a reassuring pill, so that Qin Wei no longer worried about whether Emperor Lihuang's attitude towards Zhenwusi would change.
"Go, Grandpa Huang is waiting for your good news."
"The grandson is leaving."
Qin Wei took the Autumn Frost Sword and slowly exited the imperial study.
Leaving the Sheng Tian Palace, Qin Wei was full of ease, and the most critical question had been determined.
Lihuang has no intention of backing down!
And after he left the Sheng Tian Palace, Emperor Li's face became gloomy.
"The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces are not as good as a child, it's ridiculous!"
He said calmly.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of the County is brave and resolute, and he is a rare young talent." Father-in-law Lu said softly.
Gonggong Lu knew Emperor Li's temper best, and he also knew that Emperor Lihuang was very dissatisfied with the civil and military ministers in the court.
But he couldn't scold people with Emperor Li, he could only mention Qin Wei, hoping to make Emperor Lihuang's mood better.
When Emperor Lihuang heard this, his face really looked a lot better.
"Although it is a little reckless, it is a bit of a young talent."
"It's a pity he's too young."
He shook his head slightly.
"With His Majesty's support, the old slave believes that His Royal Highness the King of the County can establish the Zhenwu Division." Father-in-law Lu said with relief.
"Let's take a look first, it's really not good, I can only choose someone else."
Emperor Lihuang said with a tired expression.
After all, he was already old, and if it weren't for those folk martial arts forces doing too much, he wouldn't want to establish a Zhenwu Division at this time.
The establishment of the Zhenwu Division is not to suppress those warrior forces, but to deter, representing the attitude of the emperor and the court towards the warrior forces.
He wants to suppress the forces of the folk warriors, but he can't eliminate all of them, because in some ways, those warrior forces are also the foundation of Dali's powerful force.
"By the way, how is the prince's health?" Lihuang asked suddenly.
Father-in-law Lu lowered his head and said cautiously: "The prince's health has improved a lot in the past few days, and it is said that he can get out of bed." ”
"Hmm!" Emperor Lihuang bowed slightly, and did not say anything more.
……
After returning from the imperial city, Qin Wei fell into a busy situation.
When the Zhenwu Division was first established, everything had to start from scratch, first of all, the wrestlers at the bottom, a total of five hundred, Qin Wei went directly to the twelve regimental camps outside Kyoto City to select five hundred soldiers with cultivation to enrich the manpower of the Zhenwu Division.
The second is the scribe, at present, the town of the military division needs to shoulder the responsibility of fighting martial arts crimes in Kyoto City, investigation, handling, arrest, etc., these have to be connected with the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Shuntianfu and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, all kinds of cases and official documents need to be handled by scribes.
In order to ensure the daily operation of the Zhenwu Division, Qin Wei once again transformed a chess piece.
It's the chess piece that can be transformed with only ten wisps of momentum.
However, this chess piece brought a great surprise to Qin Wei.
Li Ru, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", is Dong Zhuo's chief strategist, is Dong Zhuo's confidant, and consults with him on matters large and small, which can be called a think tank. Dong Zhuo took advantage of the chaos to enter Beijing, said that Lu Bu was surrendered, the emperor was abolished, and the capital was moved to Chang'an, all of which were inseparable from Li Ru's staff skills.
Even later, after the abolition of Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty, Li Ru was ordered by Dong Zhuo to personally bring people into the palace and poison Liu Bian.
This is a character with unparalleled strategy and ruthless means.
When Qin Wei saw Li Ru, he felt that putting Li Ru in the Zhenwu Division was simply overkill.
But now that the Zhenwu Division needs a scribe to handle chores, Qin Wei can only grieve Li Ru to temporarily serve as a clerk in the Zhenwu Division.
Forty-fourth year of Wude, March 20, morning.
Qin Wei rode a carriage and came to Jingyang Street in front of the imperial city.
Most of the yamen of the court are in the area east of Jingyang Street, where there are almost no houses and shops, and they are all large and small yamen.
The newly built Zhenwu Division Yamen is also here.
The Yamen of the Zhenwu Division sits in the north and faces south, and there are two stone lions that are taller than people at the door, and the plaque of the Zhenwu Division is hung on the reddish-brown gate, which looks quite majestic.
Qin Wei stepped out of the carriage, and before he stepped into the Zhenwu Division, a group of officials in black suits came out to greet him.
"Meet the Commander!"
In just a few days, Zhenwusi has changed from an empty shelf to a decent yamen.
Qin Wei's gaze swept over everyone, bowed slightly, and said, "Everyone's excuse me!" ”
Immediately, a group of people entered the Yamen of the Zhenwu Division.
At the same time, many people from various yamen on Jingyang Street saw this scene, and everyone talked about it.
"This town has actually been built!"
"With His Majesty's support, it is not easy to build a town martial arts yamen."
"It's just that I didn't expect this Xin'an County King to dare to stay in Zhenwusi!"
"He's not afraid of those sect warriors?"
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"
"I don't know if it's stupid or stupid!"
"But I'm afraid Kyoto is going to be lively next, the town martial arts division is established, and the sects around the country don't know what will happen."
……
In just a few moments, the news of the establishment of the Zhenwu Division Yamen spread throughout Kyoto City, and with Kyoto City as the center, it spread rapidly to the thirteen states of Dali.
