Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

I don't know what kind of thinking comes from, Zhu Houzhao is quite enthusiastic about accepting his son. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) The official history records that during his reign of more than ten years, he actually accepted more than 100 sons. However, many of these righteous sons were just given a surname Zhu by Zhu Houzhao, but there were only two who were more favored, one was Qian Ning, and the other was Jiang Bin, who was far away in Xuanfu.

Qian Ning was originally the child of a poor family somewhere in Yunnan. When the eunuch Qian Neng was in Yunnan as a prisoner, Qian Ning was sold to him as a house slave, because he was smart and clever and loved by Qian Neng, so he followed Qian Neng's surname "Qian". After Qian Neng's death, he favored his family, and Qian Ning was able to become an official. Because Qian Neng had an old relationship with Liu Jin, Qian Ning and Liu Jin knew each other, and he deliberately befriended Liu Jin, so he was later recommended to Zhu Houzhao as a guard. Because Qian Ning has a stunt of "opening the left and right bows" archery, he is very popular with the martial Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao once took Qian Ning as a carryon for everything, and then accepted him as a righteous son and gave him the "surname Zhu".

A few times Zhu Houzhao was drunk at banquets, and he fell asleep directly on Qian Ning's belly. After the courtiers found out about this, they didn't know how to spread it, so there were often rumors in the Jingshi market for a period of time that Zhu Houzhao was a good man.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhu Houzhao deliberately alienated Qian Ning, so as not to cause misunderstanding among others. However, deliberate estrangement does not mean that the relationship is estranged, after all, Zhu Houzhao is still a person who misses his old love, and this deliberate estrangement still makes Zhu Houzhao occasionally think about it and feel a little sorry for Qian Ning.

Hearing Qian Ning shouting to lose at this moment, Zhu Houzhao picked up the wooden box containing the treasure money beside him and handed it to Qian Ning, he said with a smile: "Okay, let's stop here today, Ning Er lost the most, I will compensate you." ”

"Emperor Xie rewarded. Qian Ning happily accepted the treasure banknote, and he asked Zhu Houzhao with a smile: "Your Majesty, you haven't said why you are happy today." What is the matter, say it and make the child happy for you. ”

Zhu Hou glanced at Qian Ning and said with a smile: "I met a wonderful person not long ago, and this person and I became brothers with different surnames at first sight. Originally, I thought that he was just talented and good at fun, but I didn't expect this person to have far-reaching knowledge, and he solved several problems in a few words. The method is so wonderful that even I have to be amazed. Tomorrow I will hold a cabinet meeting and let them see how powerful my eldest brother really is. ”

"The emperor's eldest brother?" Qian Ning was stunned, he had followed Zhu Houzhao for a long time, and he had a deep understanding of Zhu Houzhao's arrogance. He never thought that Zhu Houzhao would recognize an unknown person as his brother one day, and he still had a proud and proud expression on his face when he mentioned this brother Zhu Houzhao.

Qian Ning's heart was a little sour, the emperor has been estranged from him a lot recently, he originally thought that he had made some mistakes, but it turned out that the emperor had "married a new love".

Where did Zhu Houzhao know Qian Ning's thoughts, and he stood up and said, "Well, it's not too early." Tomorrow we will convene a cabinet meeting of the cabinet members, so let's stop here today and rest our heads. ”

"Congratulations to the emperor," Zhang Yong, Liu Jin, and Qian Ning knelt down on one knee and saluted together.

Zhu Houzhao was just about to leave, when suddenly a leopard guard walked in. The leopard guard knelt down to Zhu Houzhao and saluted: "My subordinates see the emperor." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Zhu Houzhao. He knew that under normal circumstances, the leopard guard would not come in the entertainment room, and if he came in, there must be something to report.

Leopard Wei replied: "Back to the emperor, Dongchang sent someone to send news that Jiang Xia, the owner of Xiaoyao Mountain Villa, was attacked by assassins tonight."

"What?" Zhu Houzhao exclaimed.

Before the leopard guard finished speaking, he hurriedly asked, "How is the eldest brother now?"

In a hurry, Zhu Houzhao actually directly called out the word "big brother".

Leopard Wei was slightly stunned, and immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, the master of Jiang Zhuang is not injured. ”

"Huh" Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good if you don't get hurt, I'm scared to death." ”

Zhu Houzhao patted his chest, and after calming down, his face became gloomy, Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

"Liu Jin, I ask you, who has the highest martial arts in the Jinyi Guard?"

Liu Jin thought for a while and said: "Back to the emperor, the person with the highest martial arts is Zhong Bin, the deputy of the North Division. This man specializes in swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship is exquisite. However, he is cold and not good at talking, so even if he is the strength of Jiuzhongding, he is only a deputy thousand households. ”

"The strength of Jiuzhongding. Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, "Jiuzhongding's strength should be enough, from tomorrow onwards, you will send this person to Xiaoyao Mountain Villa as a guard, and let him protect Jiang Xia closely." ”

"Yes!" Liu Jin should come down.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houzhao said murderously: "Check for me, find out who sent the assassin this time." If there is evidence, whoever he is, I will make him pay!"

"Yes, slave and maid obey. Liu Jin responded.

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he left. Liu Jin stood up and looked at Zhu Houzhao's departing back, he was full of doubts in his heart, he arched his hand towards Zhang Yong and Qian Ning as a farewell, and then followed out of the entertainment room.

On the way out of the leopard room, Liu Jin had a few questions in his heart.

Jiang Xia was assassinated, and the emperor immediately sent a master to protect him, which proved that the emperor attached great importance to Jiang Xia, and listened to the emperor's last tone, obviously moved by real anger, it seems that Jiang Xia will have to pay attention to this person in the future, and cultivate a good life, maybe one day he may enter the court as an official and become a colleague with himself. Such a simple character in the emperor's heart, once he sets foot in the officialdom, what will he do?

But why did the emperor send people from the Jinyi Guard to protect Jiangxia? If we talk about the masters, the masters in my East Factory don't need to be the few in the Jinyi Guard? Could it be that the emperor doesn't believe me?

Find out the origin of the assassin who assassinated Jiang Xia, no matter who you are, you will have to pay the price. The only people who could be offended by Jiang Xia's identity were probably Cao Yuan, Li Dongyang and the like, what did the emperor mean by this? Could it be that he had finally made up his mind to do something to Li Dongyang's old horseman?

There were too many questions, Liu Jin couldn't figure it out for a while, he shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it, and when he looked up, he realized that he had arrived at the door of the leopard room.

The emperor's mental technique is indeed complicated and difficult to understand, but in fact, the reason why Zhu Houzhao directly ordered to select a master from the Jinyi guard to protect Jiang Xia is only one most important reason, that is, to keep his identity from being revealed.

There are many masters in the East Factory, but most of them are eunuchs, otherwise they are like Qian Ning, who has become feminine because he has been with the eunuch for too long. Such a person approaching Jiangxia will inevitably be disliked by Jiangxia. Zhu Houzhao didn't expect him to be so careful, but it made Liu Jin feel uneasy.

The relationship in the court is complicated, Dongchang and Jinyiwei can be regarded as subordinate from a certain point of view, and from a certain point of view, they seem to be unrelated to each other. To summarize the relationship between the two in a simple sentence, Jinyiwei is a secret agency, from the prince to the common people, they have the right to directly supervise, lock, torture and prison. And Dongchang is also a secret agency, they can also supervise hundreds of officials, and at the same time, they can also supervise Jinyiwei. Therefore, the two exist zĂ i a certain upper and lower subordination.

But it is natural that the two have their own systems, and the predecessor of Jinyiwei is one of the twenty-two guards of the pro-army guards, and it is the emperor's most personal guard. They are not only responsible for supervising the hundred officials, but also responsible for guarding the safety of the emperor and maintaining the safety of the forbidden palace. Although they are actually directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, they are nominally subordinates of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, so tracing back to the origin of Jinyiwei can be regarded as a military system.

The East Factory is controlled by the eunuchs, and the palm print or pen of the palace master concurrently serves as the factory supervisor, so the East Factory belongs to the eunuch system, and the Jinyi Wei and it are naturally their own systems.

In short, although Jinyiwei respects Dongchang on the surface, it is actually a mutually restraining relationship with Dongchang. So when Zhu Houzhao said that he would let the Jinyi Wei send a master to protect Jiang Xia, Liu Jin would have so many doubts and uneasiness in his heart.

Beisi, in fact, is the abbreviation of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi. Jinyiwei has two town and south divisions, generally the south town is responsible for managing the administrative affairs of Jinyiwei, while the north town is in charge of the edict and prison, and the power is great. As the saying goes, "Beizhen envoy, from the fourth grade, the second grade to be respectful." The meaning is that although the Beizhen Fu Envoy is only an official from the fourth grade, the officials of the second grade have to be respectful when they meet him, which shows the great power of the Beizhen Fu Division.

Zhong Bin is twenty-nine years old this year, he was an orphan, and when he was seven years old, he was adopted by Zhong Chaoyang, the chief flag of the Jinyi Wei Fourth Institute, and after Zhong Chaoyang's death, he entered the Jinyi Wei despite Zhong Chaoyang's shortcomings. Zhong Bin had an adventure when he was young, and since the age of eight, he has been learning martial arts with a master swordsman. After entering Jinyiwei, he was silent at first and was repeatedly excluded, and many dangerous cases would always be handed over to Zhong Bin to follow up.

But it was precisely in this way that Zhong Bin was able to make a name for himself in Jinyiwei, and his exquisite sword tip won more with less on several occasions, and he alone broke into the enemy camp to complete the task. With the passage of time, Zhong Bin has now become the recognized number one master of Jinyiwei, but his taciturn and cold personality has hindered his future. But until now, he is only a deputy thousand households of the four institutes, from the official rank of the fifth grade.

Maybe this official rank doesn't seem low, but there are thousands of households on top of the deputy thousand households, Zhong Bin has no real power, and he is still alone.

This time he received an order from above to come to Xiaoyao Villa to protect a person named Jiang Xia, although after receiving the task, he didn't say anything and left with the long sword, but Zhong Bin knew very well that this was another exclusion.

But Zhong Bin has finally become accustomed to it, and it can be said that he is not surprised by these.
