Chapter Fifty-Six: The Governor of Heavenly Strategy, Zao Wou-Ki
How deep is the water in the imperial capital? In the words of a great monk, even if the immortal moved a Mount Tai and smashed it down, it would be clear without a trace.
Things are black and white, there is yin and yang in the sky, and the same is true for the imperial court.
If you follow the old man who followed the first emperor to fight the world, you will know that the first emperor never really trusted the current dark guard house, he relied on the inner guard in the secret guard the most, the inner guard can be called the secret guard in the secret guard, and there is the duty to picket the illegal affairs of the secret guard house internally, and the external act is more hidden, directly led by the four secret guards who directly belong to Emperor Xiao, and the four people do not show people with their real names and surnames, but are named after shadows, evil tigers, ghosts, and Prajna, which are passed down from generation to generation.
After the founding of the Great Qi Kingdom, the Inner Guard and the Dark Guard Mansion were separated and merged into the Tiance Mansion, and the four commanders of the Prajna restored the original surname Zhao, and was given the name Wuji by Emperor Xiao and became the Palm Seal Governor of the Tiance Mansion.
Zao Wou-ki's name is the same as Zhang Wuji's and Wei Wuji's, and the three of them are also known as the "Three Nos", serving in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the Dark Guard Mansion and the Tiance Mansion respectively, although Zao Wou-Ki is relatively less famous than the other two, and is not ranked among the four handsome, it does not mean that Zao Wou-Ki will be worse than the other two, and from the perspective of his years in charge of the Tiance Mansion, it is even slightly higher.
Compared with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Dark Guard Mansion, the scale of the Tiance Mansion is undoubtedly much smaller, ranking at the bottom of the three mansions, but only in terms of power, the three mansions do not have too many superior and inferior differences, it can only be said that they perform their own duties, among which the structure of the Tiance Mansion and the Dark Guard Mansion is roughly the same, both are headed by three governors, the only difference is that the Dark Guard Mansion has a Governor Tongzhi, and the Tiance Mansion has a post of long history.
The so-called long history is not necessarily high, but it has a certain weight, especially in the Tiance Mansion, the two successive long histories of the Tiance Mansion are Lan Yu and Zhao Qing, how is Lan Yu, there is no need to say much, Zhao Qing also held half of the military power of Dazheng back then, which can be seen.
Today's long history is Zhao Qing, but he has lost the spirit of the year, and no matter how high and powerful he is, he will always be under Xiao Yu, so he has no intention of power, and he still focuses more on his own realm cultivation, in order to be able to enter the Tao with martial arts in his lifetime, and climb to the eighteenth floor to enjoy the infinite scenery of the peak.
This time Han Xuan returned to the temple, and His Majesty now meant to select a person from the left and right governors of Tiance Mansion to protect Han Xuan, but in the end, it was Zhao Qing who took the initiative to ask for his life, which can be regarded as jumping out of the trap of Tiance Mansion and hiding outside for a few days.
After Zhao Qing left, some of the errands and authority that originally belonged to Changshi fell into the hands of Zao Wou-ki, the Governor of the Palm Seal, making this meritorious veteran more and more powerful.
Compared with the authority of Xuanhe of Tiance Mansion, the yamen where it is located is inevitably a little unmatched, and even cannot be on the stage, although it is located in the imperial city, not far from the cabinet, but it is a little more shabby than the inconspicuous cabinet, just a small black and white building hidden in the bamboo forest by a small lake, which is quite a bit of leisure and natural interest, making it difficult to associate it with the word Tiance.
Today's Tiance Mansion welcomed two guests, a woman in a city and an old man in a python robe.
There were already people waiting at the door of Tiance Mansion, welcoming the two into the mansion, and after a while, a gentle old man walked quickly, dressed in a dark clothes, and saluted the woman: "Weichen has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
The woman is Xiao Zhinan, and the old man in the python robe who accompanies her is the master of ceremonies and the palm seal Zhang Baisui, as for this old man in regular clothes, his identity is not lower than Zhang Baisui, it is the Governor of Tiance Mansion Zhao Wouji, and the two have worked together for many years, but because of the presence of Her Royal Highness Xiao Zhinan, the princess, there is no polite greeting, just a slight bow.
Xiao Zhinan looked at this small courtyard with some curiosity, and said: "It's good to be a academy here, but the yamen used to make Tiance Mansion is still a little worse, after all, Tiance Mansion is also on a par with the Dadu Governor's Mansion and the Dark Guard Mansion, and the yamen of those two families are very powerful." ”
Zhao Wouji, who was like a private school gentleman, said with a smile: "Your Highness's statement is interesting, but Your Highness should not underestimate this small courtyard, in the previous dynasty, this place was where the Tianji Pavilion placed the Heavenly Machine List, and the cardinal key of the entire Imperial City Great Array was also hidden here." ”
Yi most new/chapter = oz5
Xiao Zhinan was slightly stunned, glanced at Zhang Baisui with a calm face, and then nodded with a smile.
Since Zhang Baisui didn't say it, then it is impossible for Zao Wou-Ki to say that he leaked his mouth, and eighty percent of it was his father who intended to let her know these confidential news.
Zhao Wuji continued: "As long as the Imperial City Great Array is opened, even if it is a true person in charge of the sect above the eighteenth floor, it will not be able to set foot in it, and I, the Cardinal of the Heavenly Ce Mansion, are in charge of the Great Array, rather than hiding it, it is better to directly put the entire Heavenly Ce Mansion on top, whoever wants to have bad intentions, first of all, we must destroy all of our Heavenly Ce Mansion." ”
Xiao Zhinan snorted, "I see." ”
Zhao Wuji looked at Zhang Baisui, but asked in his mouth: "Dare to ask His Highness ...... here?"
Zhang Baisui, who had not spoken for a long time, finally said expressionlessly: "By Your Majesty's dictation, I order the Tiance Mansion to thoroughly investigate the attack on Princess Qiyang. ”
Zao Wou-Ki straightened his expression, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "No." ”
Xiao Zhinan is a woman, and it is not good to learn from his father and brother to personally reach out to help the meritorious veteran, but the posture that should be done is still to be done enough, so he helped him and said with a smile: "Then there is Lao Zhao Dudu." ”
After Zhao Wuji got up, he said softly: "Her Royal Highness the princess was actually plotted by Xiaoxiao, in the final analysis, it was our Tiance Mansion that was derelict in its duties, and now it is even more within our responsibility to investigate this matter, how dare we call it a labor." ”
Xiao Zhinan shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Zhao Changshi to make a move in person, how could the villain Xiao Lin retreat easily." ”
Zhao Wouji sighed, "Over the years, the Tiance Mansion and the Ghost King Palace have fought many times, winning and losing each other, and the thief leader Xiao Lin is even more unpredictable, and he has escaped the encirclement and pursuit of our Tiance Mansion several times, which is very tricky. ”
Xiao Zhinan frowned slightly and said, "There is someone else behind Xiao Lin?"
Zao Wou-Ki nodded and said, "Old opponent." ”
Xiao Zhinan's heart moved, and he asked, "Who is it?"
Zhao Wuji hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "The stakes are very high, Your Highness should personally ask Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Zhinan exhaled lightly, "I know." ”
Zhang Baisui coughed and said softly: "Your Majesty has a second will, let your Tiance Mansion send a person to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess, as for who to send, it is up to you, the Governor of the Palm Seal, to decide." ”
Zhao Wuji said with a little headache: "The Tiger Camp Commander Evil Tiger and the Inner Guard Commander Ghost can't move lightly, and I, the Palm Seal Governor, can't leave, Changshi Zhao Qing has already gone to Han Ge Lao's side, and there are only two left and right Governors, and the Left Governor is appointed by the Sect Lords and Noble Ministers according to the convention, which is also not suitable, so it can only be the shadow of the Right Governor." ”
As soon as the words fell, a graceful figure appeared behind Zao Wou-ki, dressed in a first-class official uniform, wearing a black gauze, a jade belt around his waist, and brocade boots on his feet.
Zhao Wuji sighed lightly: "I am the only one left of the four secret guards back then, and the other three colleagues are all ancient, she is the daughter of the previous shadow, and she has already set foot in the realm of the earth immortal as early as the fifteenth year of Chengping. ”
The shadow stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "The shadow has seen Her Royal Highness. ”
