Zhengyang 476 July 8, the eleventh year of the sunrise, summer

Liu Xin officially began to serve in Jinyiwei, and it was only 300 steps from the martial arts field behind the thousand households to Liu Xin's own hundred households, and the distance between the two was only one street.

Because the original Lao Liu Baihu has never been taken down by Liu Licheng, it is natural to stare at it under his nose.

It took only half a burnt incense to take three hundred steps, but when I entered the courtyard of the hundred households, the brocade guards inside were already neatly lined up. At the front of the line were four middle-aged people, with a hint of excitement on their faces, as well as depression. Repression is to suppress one's own excitement. These four people are the four general banners of the Hundred Households:

Guo Yong, Liu Fu, Ding Mingfu, Jiang Shixi.

Because Liuxin's 100 households are located in Wenxuanfang in the inner city, it is also called Wenxuanfang 100 households. Wenxuanfang is a good location, although it is not a place where the ministers of the extremely popular ministers live, but because most of the Wenxuanfang is a gathering of Qingliu Hanlin and the like, the culture is prosperous, for the inner city, this is second only to the location of Chengpingfang, where the princes and top ministers live.

In the Wenxuanfang 100 households, the four general flags are all cronies of Lao Liu Baihu, and everyone is an old brother on weekdays, and they are commensurate with brothers. However, this is different from Liu Licheng and the three hundred households who are just close for the sake of closeness, Lao Liu Baihu and these four people really grew up from childhood, and everyone's parents are also on duty together, and they are all old pro-soldiers.

Lao Liu Baihu's serious illness is naturally fake, so in the three days that Lao Liu Baihu was buried, Lao Liu Baihu sat up in the coffin, and then told Liu Xin about the situation in this brocade guard, especially the thousand households in the inner East City.

Liu Licheng is from outside, and the original thousand households in the Inner East City have now been transferred to other provinces and promoted to one level. Liu Licheng worked hard for two years to replace three of the four hundred households in the 1,000 households with his own people. And Liu Baihu has the support of the secret investigation team, and it has been holding on until now, and it is also for this reason that the people in these hundred households are grateful to Liu Baihu.

They were all originally abandoned, and Liu Licheng was not a good person, Jinyiwei's other thousands of households, servants, and Tongzhi, including Jinyiwei's commander, were all beings who ate people and did not spit out bones. Naturally, these little shrimps can't get into their eyes, and those who have a relationship with each other in the past two years have also walked cleanly, and the rest are all nowhere to go.

Therefore, once Liu Licheng takes over the 100 households of Wenxuanfang, the people in these 100 households will either submit to Liu Licheng and be used as chess pieces to fight with other forces in Jinyiwei, or they will be driven out of Jinyiwei, and without the pro-army business, the livelihood of the family will be problematic.

And Liu Xin's appearance didn't make them feel much at first, because Liu Xin was too tender, even if it was the replacement of the old and new Jinyi guards on weekdays, the old ones would support it, protect Ichigo, and let go when the new ones adapted. But Liu Xin didn't have this opportunity, Lao Liu Baihu was too sick and too anxious, and he might not even leave a few last words, let alone support.

So almost everyone thought that Liu Xin would be easily taken down by Liu Licheng, either surrendered or deposed.

But when everyone was not optimistic, Liu Xin was a blockbuster and showed his super strength.

In the past few decades, the two emperors of Kangyang and Xuyang have been experienced, and they are both emperors who attach great importance to personal force, so whether it is in the army or within the pro-army, it is an important indicator of personal martial bravery.

Like a hundred household officials, at least they can only be held by the cultivation of a small Chengjing martial artist, otherwise they will be incompetent and will be demoted or even deposed.

And in today's short and terrifying competition, Tian Ba's personal strength is clear in the Thousand Households, and he can fight with Xiao Cheng Warriors, and it is considered a talent to be a general banner, if there is a chance, it is appropriate to be promoted to a hundred households. And Liu Xin can easily take Tianba, which naturally proves that he is qualified to serve as a hundred households, and Liu Licheng can no longer easily deal with Liu Xin.

Because he is the nephew of Lao Liu Baihu, Liu Xin is their hundred households, and the entire hundred households are naturally excited, and a hundred households who are young and strong are naturally the best situation for them.

Besides, for the four general banners, Liu Xin's matter was occasionally mentioned by the old Liu Baihu a few months ago, in short, this nephew is a capable person, and he was noncommittal before, but now it is confirmed.

In this era, personal force still occupies a large part of a person's judging criteria.

However, it does not mean that wisdom is useless and literati should die, but that the energy brought by force in this era is much stronger than literature, and the two are disconnected, so it has become inevitable to use force to control literature.

Of course, the literature still needs it, the way to govern the country, and the internal governance still needs literati, and no emperor will really reduce the civil servants to the dust, at most they will not be taken seriously.

However, compared with the Kangyang Dynasty, the current Emperor Xuyang still attaches a slightly higher importance to the literati, and the hilt of the sword is also firmly in the hands of the Emperor Xuyang, so although the generals below still have an advantage over the Wenchen, this advantage is not overwhelming.

In general, Liu Xin's arrival is a good and harmless thing for Wenxuanfang Baihu, so everyone is very active and strives to get a good impression in front of Liu Baihu.

As a result, four general flags, sixteen small flags, one hundred and sixty horsemen, that is, school captains, plus more than a dozen scribes, including Senior Brother Cheng, formed the entire Wenxuanfang Hundred Households.

Everyone lined up neatly, waiting for Liu Xin's arrival.

Liu Xin's age is considered young here, and the pro-army is hereditary, but in order to ensure the stability of combat strength, there are also requirements in terms of age, the minimum shall not be less than sixteen, and the maximum shall not be higher than fifty. Everyone in the 100 households of Wenxuanfang looks like they are all middle-aged, several of the general flags are already middle-aged, and most of the small flags behind are middle-aged, and there are not many young people. Although such a team is more sophisticated, it is somewhat twilight, and it can be used but may be overwhelmed, which is the first impression given to Liu Xin by the hundred households of Wenxuanfang.

"Liu Baihu, one hundred and eighty people from the one hundred households in Wenxuanfang have arrived, please show Liu Baihu!" Guo Yong, the chief banner, shouted, and the rest of the people echoed it.

Liu Xin was a little confused, but after being the senior brother of the Holy Sect for so many years, there was naturally no problem in receiving people and things, so he couldn't help but say some words about the scene of the new official taking office, which inspired the big guys, but as expected, although these people were excited, they didn't have much passion, which was a little unsatisfying Liu Xin who wanted to do 'big things'.

Several general flags and small flags here in the 100 households of Wenxuanfang also introduced themselves, and then Liu Xin called the four general flags and Senior Brother Cheng to the duty room together.

The value room of the hundred households is similar to that of the thousand households, and they are all a little old, which is also because this is the imperial capital, and the brocade guard is not too public. If Liu Xin has the opportunity to go to the Jinyi Wei duty room in other provinces, it can be called magnificent and diverse.

Liu Xin's duty room is still the same set of layout of the old Liu Baihu, but the pen wash, inkstone, pen holder, paperweight, etc. have all been replaced with new ones, Liu Xin naturally didn't care about these and sat down straight after entering the duty room, and then waved his hand to let the four general flags also sit down, and Senior Brother Cheng stood beside Liu Xin.

The four general banners also knew Senior Brother Cheng, knew that this was the housekeeper of Liufu, and he was also suspended in these hundred households, and he was regarded as the henchman of the old Liubaihu, but he didn't expect that he would still be a confidant when he came to Xinliu Baihu. This feeling made the four general banners feel a little comforted, and by analogy, their hearts were a lot more stable.

The new officials took office three times, especially young people like Liu Xin, who thought differently from these old people, and they didn't know what the relationship between the uncle and nephew of the Liu family was, so they were inevitably a little apprehensive about the future.

But soon, because of Senior Brother Cheng, the relationship between the housekeeper and the scribe, the hearts of the four people who had settled down a little, because of Liu Xin's words, were hung up again, and in the next few days, they were always panicked.

"A few of them are my uncles, so let's call them uncles and nephews in private. I am new to the city, and I am not very familiar with the situation here, so first of all, I would like to ask a few uncles to help me collect the personal information of all the people in my Wenxuanfang 100 households, mainly age, experience, and family situation. ”

"Ahh Liu Baihu... Oh no, no... Yoo Hyun's nephew... Hey, it's really a shame for the old man, when you're on duty, I'll call you Liu Baihu or Lord Liu, I don't know what you're asking for these materials for..."

Liu Xin knew that Guo Yong was the oldest and most capable of the four general banners, so he came forward, and the faces of the other people at this time were a little unnatural, and he could only come forward to ask. Liu Xin said slowly after a long time: "Uncle didn't tell me much when he was dying at the end, but he only said one thing!" ”

Hearing that it was Lao Liu Baihu's last dying words, the four general flags all pricked up their ears and listened seriously.

I only heard Liu Xin say slowly: "Uncle Jia is most worried about several uncles, and what he said at the last moment is the current situation of my Wenxuanfang Hundred Households. Whether we're being abandoned or surrounded by enemies, the situation won't be too good. Uncle Jia also said that all the people in our hundreds of households are loyal and loyal people, but loyalty alone has no effect on our current situation, so I want to find out if there is any way to get rid of the current situation, this first step is of course to understand yourself, the so-called knowing yourself and knowing the other side can not be defeated! ”

"It's... Be! What Liu Baihu said is, then I'll wait for this to go down and prepare. After Guo Yong listened to Liu Xin's words, it seemed that the amount of information was too large, and he didn't think it through for a while, so he responded first.

Liu Xin continued to add: "Several uncles are the right-hand men of the uncle, and the little nephew still needs the help of several uncles. ”

The four general flags waved their hands again and again, and said in their mouths: "Liu Baihu is serious, his words are serious!" ”

Then the four of them left like that.

Senior Brother Cheng was behind Liu Xin, and his face showed a puzzled expression: "You only took office today, why are you in a hurry to be open and honest?" ”

Liu Xin smiled and said, "It's not open, it's just that these Senior Brother Cheng don't say that they are reliable, so I don't want to waste time." ”

Senior Brother Cheng's face darkened: "When did I say that they were reliable, I only said that they were not people planted by some other forces." ”

"It's all the same, it's all the same!" Liu Xin waved his hand and said indifferently.

"What happened after you entered the Imperial City?" Senior Brother Cheng said curiously, after he sent Liu Xin to the imperial city, he went back to these hundred households, he was still very relieved about Liu Xin, and one of the several relatives of the Holy Sect was a pervert. This perversion is embodied in cultivation, talent, and IQ.

None of the Holy Sect Sect Sect Masters, who were known as the number one think tank in martial arts, were easy to get along with.

Thinking of this, Senior Brother Cheng seemed to think of a person who liked to wear red fox fur, and he couldn't help but feel excited, which made Liu Xin inexplicably abnormal.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xin asked with concern, if this Senior Brother Cheng has any hidden illness, it will be troublesome.

"It's okay, it's okay, I think of someone." Senior Brother Cheng waved his hand.

"Okay, if there's anything you have to say openly, just like me, be honest!" Liu Xinhu was suspicious, but it was not easy to ask, so he instructed in an aggravated tone.

Immediately, General Liu Xin told him about his experience in the imperial city, no matter how big or small, he also wanted to get some advice from the experienced Senior Brother Cheng.

Senior Brother Cheng thought for a moment and said, "You did a good job, there is nothing wrong with it." But your current status is just a poor boy in the countryside, and it's like suddenly inheriting a large inheritance from a relative in the city, and a large part of Liu Licheng's reason for targeting you is the same. Have you figured out how to break the game? ”

Liu Xin said: "I have studied my own identity, according to the information arranged for me by the secret investigation team, I am my uncle's poor relative in the countryside, because my uncle has no heirs, so he has always taken care of me and kept sending me silver. Because I haven't caused trouble in the country, I've been in the limelight, and I've been relatively low-key in the past, so I actually have a lot of room to play. Many things can be said with empty words, and there is no evidence to prove that what I am saying is true or false. ”

"Now that you've figured out how to do it, I'm relieved."

Liu Xin asked curiously, "Senior Brother Cheng doesn't have anything to mention?" ”

Senior Brother Cheng looked at him strangely: "You did a good job, why should I mention you." Remind you that the main body of the task is you, and you have to think about solving many things by yourself, otherwise we can still help you now, but when you are in a high position, we will not be able to help you anymore! ”

Liu Xin understands this truth, when he makes a big move, any details of his actions will be stared at by countless people, and if he still relies on the secret investigation team, it will be too easy to be exposed!

There was basically nothing to do for a day, and in the afternoon, a captain came to the Thousand Households Office in the Inner East City, saying that Liu Baihu was newly appointed here, and there was no need to participate in the action at night, and the Hundred Households Office of Wenxuanfang could also rest, and some people could be left to patrol within the scope of the authority of the Inner East City.

The work of this inspection was originally under the responsibility of the 100 households of Wenxuanfang, and Liu Licheng was unable to subdue the 100 households of Lao Liu, so the authority given to the 100 households of Wenxuanfang was the most basic and the least necessary work.

The imperial capital is divided into the imperial city from the inside to the outside, the inner city is divided into 28 squares, and the outer city is divided into 8 squares, a total of 36 squares. The two thousand households of Jinyiwei Inner East City and Inner West City respectively govern half of the inner city.

Within the jurisdiction of the Thousand Households in the East City, the headquarters of the Thousand Households is in Wenxuan Fang, and the other three hundred households are in Taihefang, Liuhefang, and Junyifang, and each hundred households are also named after each Fang, which is subordinate to Gong Kexin, Wu Hao, and Cheng Guotao.

In addition to the other three 100 households, the Wenxuan Fang 100 households need to be responsible for the inspection tasks of the remaining 11 households, which basically hollows out the manpower of the 100 households.

After receiving this notice, Liu Xin didn't care very much, he estimated that Liu Licheng and the three hundred households were now probably also thinking about how to deal with themselves. However, the means and methods used to deal with a person who is incompetent are completely different from those who have sufficient or even more than they are expected to do.

The despicable little tricks they had wanted to use before now seemed to be no longer to deal with, just waiting to see what they could brew.

After notifying Liu Licheng's instructions, Liu Xin obviously felt that the top and bottom of the hundred households were happy, and it was naturally best not to stay up late on duty.

There was nothing to do, Senior Brother Cheng came to remind Liu Xin that he could be on duty, Liu Xin looked at the hour, there was still an hour before the specified time for duty.

"Let's go, let's just say that you go to inspect the neighborhood and get familiar with the environment, no one dares to say anything no." Senior Brother Cheng urged.

Liu Xin thought about it, and there was really nothing to do, a few general flags were still sorting out the information there, and it was estimated that they would have to change those things, otherwise how could it be so troublesome, Jinyiwei was still very formal, and the information he wanted was relatively basic, and he could take it out after a little tidying up.

Liu Xin also expressed his understanding of the practice of several general flags, so he gave them enough time, followed Senior Brother Cheng into the carriage, and began to rush home.

However, the closer he got to Liu's house, Liu Xin was a little apprehensive, and it was much more difficult to deal with his aunt than to deal with those brocade guards!
