After Han Yi left, the apocalypse called Shoufu Ye Xianggao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Xiang Gao has become a ruler of the country, and Tianqi has always relied on him very much, and this time he summoned him to meet him, but also to ask him what he thinks about this whole thing.

Ye Xianggao's views were really different from Han Yi's, which was also the reason why Tianzhao didn't summon them together.

Ye Xianggao pointed out that the iron-blooded monitoring of the factory guards was terrifying, and most of the subordinates were trembling their legs to do things for the imperial court. From the fact that Zhang Yang alone can order the closure of the edict, it can be seen that the power of the factory guards is too great, and it has reached a level that is difficult to contain. Therefore, Ye Xianggao proposed that the factory guard must be resolutely banned, otherwise it will endanger the society of the country.

After hearing this, Tianqi smiled, and he said to Ye Xianggao: "Jinqing (Ye Xianggao character Jinqing), I know your proposal, let me think about it again." ”

Ye Xianggao sighed lightly and withdrew.

This sentence is so familiar, in the past few years, Ye Xianggao has heard it many times, but to this day, the factory guard is still standing.

Tianqi's dependence on the factory guards has reached the level of obsession, and on the other hand, it is actually because he does not trust the ministers enough, and there are factory guards in the court to balance the cabinet ministers and the ministers of the six ministries, so that he can rest assured that he can sit on the dragon chair.

Half a month later, Tianqi issued an edict: "Liu Qiao was demoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he was still in charge of the Jinyi Guard, and Jiang Wei, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, concurrently served as the envoy of Beizhen." ”

It's another edict that changes the soup but not the medicine.

As soon as the edict was issued, the ministers were in an uproar and petitioned the cabinet one after another, demanding that Liu Qiao be severely punished.

But Ye Xianggao knew that Tianqi's mind had been decided, and it was impossible to depose Liu Qiao, for the sake of the stability of the court, he could only fulfill his duty as a cabinet minister and persuade everyone to go back to perform their duties.

In this confrontation between the courtiers and the factory guards, the winner was Jin Yiwei and Han Yi, the second assistant in the cabinet.

They won because they were able to capture the subtle psychology of the apocalypse and go with the flow.

On the day after the edict was issued, Jinyiwei Liu Qiao secretly met with Han Yi.

As soon as Liu Qiao saw Han Yi, he bowed to the end and said respectfully: "Thank you Han Ge for saving your life." If it weren't for Han Ge Lao's words in front of the emperor, Liu would only be afraid that his life would be as cheap as an ant and let others trample on him. ”

Han Yi smiled loudly: "Lord Liu doesn't have to be polite, you are all colleagues, you are all loyal to the Lord, you are in trouble, how can I stand idly by, but although this time the admonition was successful, it also made other ministers in the DPRK and China criticize me for harboring Jinyiwei and hiding evil intentions." Therefore, we should try to meet as little as possible in the future, so as not to be caught by others. ”

Liu Qiao bowed down and said, "Liu Qiao understands that in addition to wanting to thank Han Ge Lao in person when I came this time, I actually wanted to ask the Lord what he had to say to us?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "The Lord only said four words. ”

"What four words?"

"It's good to do it yourself. ”

When Liu Qiao heard this, cold sweat suddenly flowed down.

He belonged to the same interest group as Han Yi, and above them, there was a leader, whom they called the Lord. The Lord must have been extremely disappointed with their recent behaviour when he said to them that they should behave for themselves. Thinking of the cruel methods of the lord to punish those who were derelict in their duties, even Liu Qiao, who had been through the storm for a long time, couldn't help but tremble.

Under the night, the lights and shadows flickered, and Liu Qiao and Han Yi talked secretly for a long time, until the dawn broke and the white belly of the fish appeared on the clouds, and he left.

......

Who is the Lord? What does he have to do with the changes in the court? Why are even the two powerful ministers of the Ming Dynasty obedient to him?

......

On September 25, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the war broke out in Liaodong. Sun Chengzong, a scholar of Dongge University, a scholar of the military department, and a supervisor of Jiliao, relied on the fortified city to hold on, and defeated the main force of Houjin several times in the Liaodong area, and recovered a lot of lost territory. At this time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry also began to emerge as a cavalry of the Ming Dynasty that could fight in the field with the Later Jin Army and win in battle.

The border pass good news is frequent, the emperor of the apocalypse is overjoyed, he decreed to crown Sun Chengzong as the prince, reward 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of platinum, hold the sword of Shangfang, and patrol the nine sides on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Tianqi received good news from Sun Chengzong, and Yan Long also received good news from Zhao Zilong and Ma Chao.

Since leading the Thunder Dragon Iron Cavalry out of the pass, Zhao Yun and the three Ma brothers first concluded an alliance with Gegen, and then borrowed 1,000 troops from Gegen, and together with the Thunder Dragon Iron Cavalry, captured the empty eagle's nest, established a base, and then successively sent troops to sweep through the Great Gobi, eliminating all horse thieves and hostile forces. The general trend on the Gobi Desert was certain, and Zhao Yun waved his army north, united with Gegen, and successively captured the three tribes of the grassland, expanding the sphere of influence of Gegen at least tenfold.

According to the agreement with Gegen, the Thunder Dragon Iron Cavalry led by Zhao Yun obtained a large expanse of grassland on the edge of the Gobi Desert for raising horses and garrisoning troops. At the same time, the original Eagle's Nest Castle also continued to expand and reinforce, and the manpower and some scarce materials needed for the construction of the city were all transferred out of the customs in batches by Ma Chao.

At this time, the Eagle's Nest had 35,000 soldiers, 100,000 stone of food, countless weapons, firearms, and horses, and it was like an impregnable military fortress.

The Thunder Dragon Iron Cavalry expanded its army to 1,800 people, and its combat power increased by at least three times.

Seeing these good news, Yan Long laughed and said: "Hahaha, Ma Mengqi wants to move the rudder of Shitan Town and the team of Majiazhuang to the Eagle's Nest." ”

Jiang Weiyi, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Meng Qi and Zilong are really good generals, and they have opened up the situation in Mobei in such a short time. Sect Master, we now really have our own walled city and army!"

What Yan Long was thinking about at this time was the reward for the completion of the stage task in the system, when he had just been promoted to the level of Sect Craftsman in the Heavenly and Human Realm, he received the second stage task of the system - to return to the capital, take charge of the Jinyi Guard, and establish his own power in the court. The time limit is two years, and the reward for completing the quest is to summon the first-ranked Killing God as the host's helper.

At this time, it was not far from being completely in control of the Jinyi Guard, and Yan Long really wanted to know who this number one Killing God was.

"I hope to come out with a martial god-type to help kill the god, as a commander, help me lead this group of generals under me, then I don't have to be so tired. Yan Long thought to himself. Helping to kill gods is divided into martial arts-type killing gods who are good at force, strategic killing gods who are good at wit, and martial god-type killing gods that combine the two.

Yan Long smiled at Jiang Wei and said: "Boyo, you are also a good general, you are now in the position of the envoy of the Northern Town, and the authority of a Northern Town envoy is enough to withstand thousands of troops." ”

Jiang Wei said modestly: "It's all because of your strategizing, Sect Master, that I can sit in this position." Jiang Wei paused and asked Yan Long, "Sect Master, what are we going to do next?"

Yan Long shook his head and said: "Bringing down Liu Qiao is not the key to the next step, he is not a threat now, he can be put first." Our next step is to find a way to make the Emperor believe in us!"

Jiang Wei said: "Then we have to find a way to get close to the emperor." ”

Yan Long smiled: "It's not difficult, have you forgotten that I am still in charge of the Han General of the Jinyi Guard?"

The function of Jinyiwei is: "to drive the guards, patrol and arrest", and a stop in the middle basically divides Jinyiwei into two completely different departments.

Among them, the Jinyi Guard, who is responsible for the guards, the honor guards and the emperor's patrols, is basically no different from the traditional Praetorian Guard, and the more famous one is called "General Han"!

Although these people are called "generals", they are actually only responsible for standing in the palace, delivering the emperor's orders, and also doing security work, to put it bluntly, they are stakes in the main hall of the imperial palace. Of course, these "piles" are not idle people, they are generally tall and big, tigers and bears, and they are full of neutrality, loud voices, and they are quite majestic in appearance, and they have a certain deterrent effect on people who do not know the details of the Ming court.

The Han generals formed their own battalion in the Jinyi Guard, with about 1,500 people in the early days, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to the expansion of the bureaucracy, the Han generals also increased to more than 5,000 people for a time.

Yan Long is in charge of the Han generals' camps, which means that as long as the emperor travels, these guard battalions will also take on the guard work together with the guard battalion with knives.

Yan Long, as the commander in charge, approached the emperor, which can be said to be a matter of course!
