After going down to the court, Yongmen Zhen was planning to hurry to go to the palace of the king, but before he could go down the steps, he was stopped, Yongmen Zhen turned his head and saw that it was the eunuch beside the emperor.

"Lord Yongmen, the emperor has a decree to send you to the imperial study to see you. ”

After Yongmen Zhen heard it, he hurriedly smiled and said, "If you have work, the minister will go." ”

After following the eunuch to the imperial study, Yongmen Zhen found the emperor standing with his back to the door before he entered the door.

"Chen Yongmen Zhen, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live. ”

When the emperor heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Yongmen who was shocking, so he smiled and said, "Yongmen Aiqing, don't be polite, please get up." ”

After Yongmen Zhen stood up, the emperor gave him a seat and ordered someone to give tea.

"Yongmen Aiqing, I didn't look for anyone else today, just the two of us, I haven't talked to you for a long time, let's talk about it today, how about it?" said the emperor with a smile.

"It is a blessing for a minister to be taught by the emperor. Yongmen Zhen said.

"Yongmen Aiqing, you are an old minister of the two dynasties, when the emperor was alive, he always told me, saying that you are not only talented and rich, but also proficient in strategy and a talent for governing the country. ”

When the emperor praised him like this, Yongmen Zhen was not only a little happy, but also a little scared.

Generally speaking, if the emperor summons you and first praises you without a head, then it means that the next thing is to start questioning you, or arrange some drudgery for you.

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to claim merit, the first emperor is magnificent, and the ministers are ashamed!"

"Hey, why did you kneel, I said it, today we are not kings and ministers, or friends talking, no need for these courtesies. The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Yongmen Zhen to sit down.

"Aiqing, I won't go around in circles with you anymore, today in the court, then Zhao Weixian said that you have dealings with the people of Hanye Valley, but is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Yongmen Zhen knew that the key was coming.

"Back to the emperor, this is indeed the case, the minister knows the young valley master of the Cold Leaf Valley, Chi Zhongtian. Yongmen Zhen replied.

"Aiqing, are you on good terms with Jin Chi of Yanyuntang? ”

The emperor suddenly threw out such a sentence, even though his face was still smiling, but Yongmen Zhen still shuddered when he saw it in his eyes.

"This is back to the emperor, and the minister and Jin Chi of Yanyuntang are friends. ”

Now that the emperor already knows, it is better to admit it generously, anyway, this is not a fatal matter, and there are no longer a few ministers in the court who have a relationship with Jin Chi.

"Aiqing is refreshing, not like some people, swallowing and spitting, in fact, there is nothing wrong with people in the martial arts, as long as they don't harm the people, I have always been too lazy to care about them, and sometimes, I can still use them, but there are also small people in this martial arts. ”

When Yongmen Zhen heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to use Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee, whether it is Jin Chi or Chi Zhongtian, they are by no means young, but can be called heroes!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Aiqing doesn't need to say that, I just ask casually, in fact, when I went to court just now, I wanted to ask you face to face, but I was afraid of losing your face, so I asked you now." ”

"Thank you for your compassion to the old ministers. ”

"Aiqing, do you know any Cold Leaf Valley, or what Yanyuntang, I don't care, I don't ask, I believe Aiqing, but I just want to remind Aiqing, if they are really talents, Aiqing can introduce them and do things for the imperial court. ”

"Ahh

"Aiqing, during this time, it is an eventful time, and all the countries are ready to move, wanting to plot against my Celestial Empire, I thought, if these people in the martial arts can be gathered together to form an army, it will be invincible and invincible!"

After the emperor finished speaking, Yongmen Zhen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, haven't you always disliked the involvement of the imperial court and martial arts?"

"That was before, and now I want to open up, the people in the martial arts are also people, and they are also my people, and they also have the responsibility to guard the territory. ”

"Your Majesty, what are your plans?" asked Yongmen Zhen next.

The emperor smiled and said: "I will not embarrass them, aren't there many sects? Just like this, according to the size of the sect, for every fifty of the big sects, the small sects will send thirty, so that the imperial court will have a strong army, and will not let these sects hurt their bones, they are just a few dozen disciples less, as for what to do, or what to do, I have said, I don't care about martial arts, as long as it does not endanger the territory, let them go." ”

Hearing this, Yongmen Zhen thought for a moment, and then said: "The emperor is wise, this matter is indeed feasible!"

"Of course, I won't let them contribute in vain, and the court will give some compensation according to the number of heads. ”

I have to say that the emperor's idea is quite good.

On the side of the imperial court, there is indeed a need for a strong army, just imagine, if some people with strong martial arts form an army, the combat effectiveness can be imagined, far from being comparable to ordinary soldiers, and on the martial arts side, it is just a few dozen disciples less in the sect, and the imperial court will also compensate.

"Your Majesty, when are you going to make an order?" asked Yongmen Zhen.

"Don't worry, I still have to consider the choice of commander and the number of people, after all, these people's food, clothing, housing and transportation also need to be provided by the imperial court, and the ministers will be convened to discuss it at that time. ”

"Your Majesty, is there anything that needs to be done by the ministers. Yongmen Zhen knew that the emperor called him to come, first, to ring a warning bell for him, and secondly, to have something for him to do, it was absolutely impossible to just talk about his heart.

"Yongmen Aiqing is really thoughtful, I will say it directly, the Yanyun Hall in the capital is also the gate of the martial arts, they are there, you go and say, of course, my requirements for them are higher, let them give a hundred disciples, plus 200,000 taels of gold!"

"Ahem" Yongmen Zhen almost choked on saliva.

"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, these hundred disciples are okay, but 200,000 taels of gold is not too much. Yongmen Zhen said worriedly.

"Not much, Yanyuntang has opened dart games everywhere in the capital, and each dart bureau has a good business, and there is also business in other places, I heard that the station of their Yanyuntang is not smaller than my back garden, besides, the last time they Yanyuntang sold illicit salt, although it was found to be wronged, but I can tell you, I am still awkward in my heart. ”

Speaking of this, Yongmen Zhen understands that he dares to love this emperor, and he wants to knock Jin Chi's bamboo bar.
