Song Mingyue

Chapter 155 The Sword of the Son of Heaven
In front of Yanfu Palace, a group of servants came around a young official in a red robe.

The young man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and slender, with a jade tree facing the wind, all the palace people knew from a distance that it was Zhao Hao, the doctor of the Taizhong and General Xuanwei, who had come.

A Beijing official who can enter the palace is already young and promising in his first year, and there is no one like Zhao Hao who has not even reached the year of weak crown.

What's more, this guy is calm and relaxed, his demeanor is like entering his own backyard, even if her husband Cai Jing enters the palace, he is not so leisurely, who else but Zhao Hao.

Even if it is the servants around him, if other people face the saint, there is obviously a sense of surveillance by his side, but by Zhao Hao's side, they are more of guards and guides.

Entering the gate of the palace, passing through many palaces, crossing pavilions and waterside pavilions, and passing a small stone arch bridge, you will arrive at the Ninghe Hall where Zhao Ji is. Suddenly, from the corner of Zhao Hao's eyes, he saw Inside a pavilion, a young girl was lying on the white marble guardrail, looking at the water surface in the lotus pond in a daze, and turned her head to take a look.

Over there, the girl also just raised her head, and the two of them met each other's eyes and met each other.

The girl stared at him for a while, then suddenly shouted in surprise: "Brother Hao!"

It was Zhao Fujin!
Zhao Hao smiled slightly, and waved his hand over there. Zhao Fujin smiled like a flower, and waved his hand vigorously, leaving the guardrail, as if he was about to leave the pavilion and run over.

Zhao Hao pointed in the direction of the Ninghe Hall, Zhao Fujin understood, and returned to the guardrail, lying on the railing and waving at him.

When Zhao Hao approached the Ninghe Hall and looked back, he could only see that person still staring at him.

Inside the Ninghe Hall, Zhao Ji was flipping through a volume of books, his brows were tightly frowned, his face was covered with dark clouds, when he heard footsteps and saw Zhao Hao coming in, the expression on his face gradually relaxed.

Zhao Hao stepped forward and bowed down, "My humble minister pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ji showed some warmth in his eyes, and waved his hands: "Forget it, I won't need these vulgar etiquettes from now on."

Zhao Hao respectfully said: "I don't dare."

Seeing that this guy is not favored and arrogant at this time, Zhao Ji was very pleased, but he laughed and scolded: "Even dare to break my jasper whisk, and there are things you dare not, just sit down."

Only then did Zhao Hao sit down respectfully beside him... Before leaving the house, he had a premonition that today would be a good day, how could he not be more solemn?
Zhao Ji sighed slightly: "Gao Qiu, I have been following me since I was in Duan Wang's mansion, and it has been 20 years now, I can't think of the late festival will not be guaranteed..."

Zhao Hao didn't say anything, at this moment, saying anything would be counterproductive, and Zhao Ji was just expressing emotion, there must be a follow-up.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji changed the subject: "Fortunately, I got my nephew like a fish in water. If it wasn't for my nephew, I would have already... Then Mr. Yuan Miao said that my nephew is the reincarnation of my Dharma protector. I still doubt it, but now it seems that it is God bestows upon me my nephew..."

Zhao Hao said anxiously: "I really feel panic and uneasy, I just did my duty as a minister, how dare I be so ridiculously praised by an official, it's a shame for me!"

The look on Zhao Ji's face became softer, and he sighed softly: "That day you told me to lie to you in public in the palace, and I also said that you were young and arrogant, but now it seems that I misunderstood you. At that time You should just do it as a last resort, it is rare to be able to claim such a great achievement without arrogance."

Zhao Hao replied in a nonchalant manner: "My humble minister..."

Zhao Ji became impatient again, and said loudly: "Don't talk too much, you have made such a great contribution, if I don't give you a reward, the world will only say that I am stingy...Zhao Hao listens to the order!"

Zhao Hao's expression became serious, and he said respectfully: "My minister is here."

"Taizhong doctor, general Xuanwei Zhao Hao, has done great service in saving him. He is a doctor and general Zhongwu. He is a white horse founding uncle. There are [-] households in the township. There are [-] households with special decree to add food. It can be hereditary. "

Zhengfeng Dafu is a Wen San official, the fourth rank, and the general Zhongwu is a Wu San official, the fourth rank. Although the rank has been raised from the fourth rank to the fourth rank, it has only been promoted by one level.The real focus is on the title of earl, and the founding uncle of the white horse is the title of the fourth rank. Moreover, two hundred households have been sealed by Jia Tezhi, which is almost the treatment of a marquis.

The title is different from the official title. The title is a kind of honor. It is generally awarded to meritorious officials, imperial relatives, and nobles of previous generations. Many prime ministers may not have titles.The titles before the Song Dynasty were all hereditary and irreplaceable, but after the Song Dynasty, most of the titles were lifelong and could not be hereditary, and Zhao Ji specially bestowed Zhao Hao with the title of Earl which could be hereditary and irreplaceable, which is an extraordinary honor.

Zhao Hao hurriedly bowed down and said, "I thank you for your mighty grace!"

Zhao Ji waved his hand, signaling for disobedience, and then his expression became solemn, his eyes became murderous, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone is rewarded heavily, so naturally someone should be severely punished, otherwise why maintain the norms? This rebellion, I I will leave it to you to find out!"

Zhao Hao was startled, and said anxiously: "I am a humble minister with little talent and learning, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the heavy trust..."

Fuck... Lao Tzu is the real mastermind behind the scenes, how do you ask me to check?
Zhao Ji ignored him, but continued: "I would like to ask you to promote the post of Imperial City Secretary, lead the Imperial City Secretary, and do your best to investigate this matter. There will be no mistakes...the deadline is one month!"

When Zhao Hao heard "Thank you for promoting the post of Imperial City Secretary and leading the Imperial City Secretary", he froze for an instant.

A feeling of ecstasy surged up from the bottom of my heart, extremely refreshing.

What kind of doctor, what kind of general, what kind of founding uncle are all nonsense. I want to become a man who is the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Not only an official, but also the official that Zhao Hao dreamed of.

The Imperial City Division, in terms of part of its responsibilities and functions, is the Jinyiwei of the Song Dynasty!
In Chinese history, no matter which dynasty or generation has its own unique organization, it is directly under the emperor's jurisdiction. Their main duty is to protect the emperor and monitor the officials. The most famous of them is the Ming Dynasty. Dongchang, Xichang, Jin Yiwei, in fact, there was also a secret service agency in the Song Dynasty. His name was Huangchengsi, but he didn't have the vicious name of the Ming Dynasty!

The Imperial City Division is a civil servant establishment, not under the management of the three yamen, but directly under the emperor's close ministers, and most of its leaders are eunuchs.His duties are mainly two, namely spying and guarding.

The predecessor of the Huangcheng Division was the Wu De Division established by Taizu. At that time, people were sent to spy everywhere, even as far as Sichuan.Song Taizong changed its name to Huangcheng Division, and later issued an order to prohibit the Imperial City Division from activities in the capital. Since then, there are generally no special orders, and Huangcheng Division generally only operates in Beijing.The personnel of the Imperial City Department are also divided into two parts, one part is called the kinship officer, who is in charge of the guards; information.The number of people has also grown from dozens of people at the beginning to more than [-] people at the most.

The scope of reconnaissance by marriage officers can be roughly divided into the following categories: monitoring the army, reconnaissance of folk discussions, reconnaissance of officials, and guarding against enemy spies.

Another role of the Imperial City Division is to guard. First of all, the Imperial City Division is responsible for guarding all the gates of the palace. The Imperial City Division is also responsible for issuing and managing the tokens and door numbers for entering and leaving the palace.

In addition to the above arrangements, there are also three guards (namely Xunwei, Yiwei, and Qinwei). These people are the children of the family members of officials, and most of them are responsible for etiquette tasks.

There is also a kind of official position, called "bringing imperial equipment", wearing a personal guard with a royal sword, which can be regarded as a real guard with a sword in front of the imperial court.There is a famous guard of this kind with a sword in front of the imperial court, nicknamed "Royal Cat" and named Zhan Zhao.

It can be seen that among the Imperial City Division, it can be regarded as a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, and it not only has the functions of the Imperial City Division, but also does not have the suppression of the East Factory and the West Factory. real power department.

The head of the Imperial City Department is usually an eunuch, Zhao Ji actually entrusted the management of the Imperial City Department to himself, which shows his trust and Zhao Ji's determination to find out the truth of the rebellion.

However, what he didn't know was that it was absolutely impossible for Zhao Hao to find out the truth...

Realizing this is really lacking, although Zhao Hao was ecstatic in his heart, he still had a bitter look on his face: "The humble minister is stupid, I'm afraid I will disappoint His Majesty's high expectations... Please also ask Your Majesty to find another wise man."

Zhao Ji snorted coldly, turned around and took an antique long sword from behind, drew it out.

There was only the sound of a dragon chant, and a long sword came out of its sheath, with a cold light and a menacing edge!

Zhao Ji reached out his hand to touch the gleaming sword, and said in a cold voice: "This sword is called Longquan, and it cuts iron like mud. I love it very much... You take my sword and go to handle the case. If anyone obstructs the investigation, except Except for the prince, emperor concubine and prince, all others can be killed first and then played, and there will be no pardon!"

Zhao Hao felt a chill in his heart, this guy was going crazy in order to find out who wanted to put him to death...

At this moment, Zhao Hao could no longer evade it, so he had to bend forward to catch it, and said respectfully: "I obey the order, and I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Zhao Ji looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said jokingly: "If you lose the sword of the emperor again this time, you can raise your head and come to see me."

It seems that Zhao Ji couldn't let go of the damage to the jasper whisk after all, so he came to beat it again.

Zhao Hao hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I should regard the sword of the emperor as my life, the sword is with the people, and the sword is dead and the sword is dead!"

After hearing the last eight words, Zhao Ji had an interesting look in his eyes, and nodded in satisfaction, but his voice became deeper and deeper: "Remember, to investigate the case, you must first investigate the motive, and then investigate the clues... For example, nephew, you, Like my concubine, Liang Shoudao (Liang Shicheng), you all rely on me to be favored, so you have no motive, so I should trust you. If I unfortunately die in this rebellion, who will benefit from it?"

Zhao Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then revealed a terrified look, and said in a broken voice: "Could it be that your majesty suspects...His Royal Highness?"

Zhao Ji snorted coldly: "If I die, the crown prince will be the crown prince, and the crown prince will be the most suspected... But not necessarily, if King Yun intends to harm the prince, this is also the best opportunity. Li... As for King Su, it may not be without motives, if the crown prince and King Yun suspect and quarrel with each other, King Su is also a fisherman... and so on, you need to investigate carefully and obtain evidence for the specific truth!"

At this moment, Zhao Hao really felt chills down his spine... This Zhao Ji is actually a real ruthless person, even his own son can be so suspicious...

After Zhao Ji gave some instructions, Zhao Hao bid farewell, equipped with a Longquan sword, and was about to leave. Seeing that he had turned around, Zhao Ji stopped him and threw over two books, one of which was the one he was reading when he came in just now. Book.

"This book was handed down by the ancestors, and you also have a share... Among the clan, you are the most brave, so let me pass it on to you."

One volume is "Song Taizu's 32 Positive Changquan", and the other volume is "Taizu Panlong Cudgel".

It was only then that Zhao Hao remembered that our old Zhao family also had ancestral martial arts cheats... authentic martial arts cheats!
Finally, Zhao Hao, who had returned with a full load, slowly left Ninghe Hall with excitement and complacency, but also with a bit of worry.

However, what he didn't know was that he hadn't left Yanfu Palace yet, and the news from the palace had already spread to the inner palace with lightning speed.

A storm is about to set off in Bianliang, and he will be one of the most important protagonists in the storm.

PS: The author has been involved in a storm in the real workplace, so I can’t change it for two days. If I can get out of it, I’ll let it go, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll really have to write books as a full-time job... Then it’s natural Don't worry about updates.
