I am the master of this world

Chapter 190
Shen Ning hosted a banquet in honor of Xiao Rui and Sima Zihao, until the curfew approached, and the three left the restaurant to go home.

The next day, Shen Ning continued to work at the Tiger Guards. He was very leisurely and had no official duties.

Princess Changle has also entered the palace. After meeting Emperor Sima Zhou, she told the story about Shen Ning's donation of Taoist golden elixir. Sima Zhou was shocked and overjoyed, and immediately sent an internal official to summon Shen Ning.

Shen Ning waited until he reached the imperial court and immediately followed him into the palace to meet the emperor.

Coming to the alchemy room in the harem again is like revisiting the old place.Sima Zhou sat at the head, his face was flushed, it seemed that he had taken too much medicine, which had a great impact on his body.According to Princess Changle, his health began to deteriorate, and he had to take pills every day, and he felt uncomfortable all over if he didn't take them.

On the other side, Zhao Qingxuan was sitting.

Now she is not a nobleman, but a concubine Xuan. With the help of Princess Changle and Princess Yiyang, her situation in the harem is not too bad.Seeing Shen Ning now, her calm heart was a little flustered, and she kept cursing Shen Ning in her heart.

Then came Xu Chongzhi and Huo Tianguang who served on both sides.

"Humble Shen Ning, pay homage to His Majesty!" Shen Ning cupped his hands in obeisance.

Sima Zhou hurriedly asked: "Shen Ning, I heard from Princess Changle that you have a Taoist golden pill in your hand?"

Shen Ning immediately took out a box from his bosom, offered it with both hands, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the late Southeast King once sent Jiang Xiao to Longhu Mountain to search for the Taoist golden elixir, but after Jiang Xiao found it, he did not send the Taoist golden elixir. The Golden Pill was handed over to the Southeast King, but he hid it privately with a dark heart. Later, the humble official was ordered to search and found the Taoist Golden Pill hidden by Jiang Xiao. He dedicated one to the Southeast King, and kept this one for preparation. To His Majesty."

"Now the situation in Xuzhou is clear, and the task His Majesty entrusted to you, I have almost completed it. Although I have come to the imperial capital, the nearly [-] Tiger Roaring Army that I once formed are now in charge of Zhang Liao and others, and I am wholeheartedly loyal to Your Majesty. As long as His Majesty gives an order, the Tiger Roaring Army is willing to defend Dajin with their lives."

"In addition, my humble uncle, Li Yuanxiao, is loyal and willing to serve the court until his death. Including the guard camp outside Pengcheng, whose master is my uncle's adjutant and a loyal general. It doesn't make much sense for me to stay in Xuzhou. I want to dedicate the Taoist Golden Elixir to His Majesty as soon as possible."

Shen Ning immediately informed the origin of the Taoist golden elixir to avoid Sima Zhou's suspicion, and added fuel to his purpose of coming to the imperial capital.

Although Xu Chongzhi would speak for Shen Ning, it was only on the surface. Now that Shen Ning explained, Sima Zhou was even more pleased.

He didn't expect that his random plan at the beginning to cultivate Shen Ning, a pawn, would reap such good results.

Among the eight kings, Sima Yue, the king of the southeast, was once the most powerful. Now the king of the southeast is dead, and his son Sima Haiyun is in power, but most of Xuzhou's troops have surrendered to the court.

Congratulations!
And Sima Zhou also understood that Shen Ning was only a sixth-rank Xiaoqi Lieutenant, and his official position restricted him. It is not easy to achieve such achievements, so he wants to come to the imperial capital to develop. When he is promoted and returns to Xuzhou, then Xuzhou is completely owned by the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Sima Zhou paid more attention to Shen Ning, and felt that Shen Ning must be cultivated and supported vigorously.

"Lieutenant Shen has worked hard, and I have seen all your credit!" Sima Zhou praised, and then quickly asked Xu Chong to go directly to the Taoist Golden Pill, and then let the alchemists in the palace study it carefully.

After a long time, the alchemist replied: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, this elixir is indeed a Taoist golden elixir. It is said that it is a healing god elixir, which can bring the dying back to life!"

At this time, Zhao Qingxuan said, "Since it has such an effect, why did the old Southeast King die?"

Sima Zhou was stunned and looked at Shen Ning.

Shen Ning said: "Your Majesty, the old prince died of poisoning, and the murderer has not been found yet. Although the Taoist golden pill has the means to change his life, it is not a holy pill to detoxify after all. The Empress Xuan's pill method is very good, and she understands this truth better than the humble official. "

Zhao Qingxuan nodded, but did not continue to say anything.She was angry with Shen Ning, so she deliberately made things difficult, but after all, the two are in a cooperative relationship, and after Zhao Qingxuan got angry, she couldn't mess around.

Shen Ning's explanation made Sima Zhou feel relieved, and then ordered him to keep the Taoist Golden Pill. Having this elixir is equivalent to having a second life.

As Shen Ning who contributed this treasure, he must be rewarded heavily.

"Shen Aiqing, you have served the imperial court loyally. Not only have you done a good job, but you have also presented precious treasures. If I don't reward you heavily, don't you mean that I am stingy? What reward do you want?" Sima Zhou asked.

Shen Ning bowed down and said: "This is what a humble official should do, and a humble official dare not ask for rewards. It is the honor of being a subject to make His Majesty happy."

"Hahaha, these words have touched my heart. If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had your thoughts, why would the Great Jin be unhappy?" After Sima Zhou admired him, he began to think about what to reward.

Gold, silver and jewels must be rewarded, but this is just a foil, so why promote him?
Three provinces and six departments?

It can be arranged, but now there are people in every position, there is no vacancy, and Shen Ning is very interested in his own appetite. If he is really arranged to enter the six departments of the three provinces, when the time comes to be jointly launched by the aristocratic family, it is very likely that his talent will be buried. win over.

This is a good pawn to completely master Xuzhou!

After careful consideration, Sima Zhou suddenly looked at Huo Tianguang, and asked, "Tianguang, is the position of Deputy Chief of Tianlongwei unified, has it always been vacant?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes! There has been no suitable candidate." Huo Tianguang asked.

But Shen Ning was shocked and overjoyed.

He never expected that Sima Zhou would involve Tianlongwei.

Sima Zhou nodded, and asked again: "What do you think of Shen Ning? He has made great contributions this time, and I want him to enter Tianlongwei. But you are the commander of the Imperial Guard, and I still have to listen to your opinion. "

Huo Tianguang glanced at Shen Ning immediately, and then told: "Your majesty will follow your majesty's arrangement. However, when your majesty asks me for his opinion, I dare not say nothing. I think that Shen Ning is loyal and devoted to the court, and he will naturally be able to enter the Tianlongwei !"

When Shen Ning heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Huo Tianguang said a bad word, it might affect Sima Zhou's decision.Because Tianlongwei is too important, he guards the palace and protects the emperor's safety. If he wants to join Tianlongwei, he must be the emperor's confidant.

Shen Ning never thought that he could enter Tianlongwei, because he knew that he was not Sima Zhou's confidant.

Now it seems that Sima Zhou wants to cultivate himself into a confidant.

In addition, Huo Tianguang praised Shen Ning highly, and there was a reason for this.His younger brother Huo Tianxing has been with Shen Ning for more than half a year, and he has grown up through experience. Shen Ning also wants to win over Huo Tianguang through Huo Tianxing, so he takes great care of Huo Tianxing. Huo Tianguang probably knows about these things.

Shen Ning's guess was right, Huo Tianguang's good words were indeed because Shen Ning was very kind to his own brother.

After hearing Huo Tianguang's words, Emperor Sima Zhou nodded.

The two people he trusted the most were Xu Chongzhi and Huo Tianguang. Both of them felt that Shen Ning was loyal and worth cultivating, which would naturally affect his judgment.

"Okay! Let's draw up the decree. Shen Ning will be promoted to the first rank, and he will be General Ning Yuan, and he will serve as the deputy commander of Tianlongwei." Sima Zhou said.

Shen Ning immediately handed over his hands to thank His Majesty: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace, and I will do my best to repay Your Majesty."

Even though he was only deputy capital commander and the actual military power was in Huo Tianguang's hands, even this position was dispensable, but to Shen Ning, it was also a surprise.Being able to enter the palace on duty is more beneficial to Shen Ning's plan.

However, there is one thing Shen Ning still needs to confirm, that is, now that he is serving as the deputy commander of the Tianlongwei, can he still be in charge of the Earth Tiger Wei Zhen Department?
If not, it would affect Shen Ning's big plan.

It seems that Xu Chong has to ask His Majesty for instructions. If he can't continue to take charge, then Lu Xun must be put in charge and he will continue to take charge of the shock department, so as to ensure the follow-up plan.

Then Shen Ning withdrew.

Soon, the appointment document was issued.

And this official document was immediately circulated in the imperial city. From the looks of it, Shen Ning's name entered the eyes of all powerful officials for the first time.

Don't underestimate the vice-dutong of the Tianlongwei of the fifth rank. Although he is only equivalent to the rank of six doctors and Xiao Rui, he is on duty in the palace, and he must be the emperor's confidant. superior?

In this way, Shen Ning began to attract attention.

In addition, Shen Ning also asked the internal officer to bring a message to Xu Chongzhi, and Xu Chongzhi asked Sima Zhou.

According to convention, since he serves as the deputy commander of the Tianlong Guard, he cannot be in charge of the earthquake department of the Dihu Guard, but Sima Zhou thought of letting Shen Ning secretly supervise the officials.In addition, the deputy commander of the Tianlong Guard has no real power. He still has to listen to Huo Tianguang for all orders, which is similar to a false position.

Wouldn't it be a waste of his talent if Shen Ning was only allowed to take up a vacant position?

"It's a good thing for him to continue to manage the Ministry of Education, young man, to take on more burdens," Sima Zhou said casually.

When the news was sent back to Shen Ning, Shen Ning was also relieved.

If the Zhenbu is really lost, it will indeed be a loss for Shen Ning.After all, Dongchang died before he could make a name for himself, how distressed he is.

The next day, Shen Ning went to Dihuwei first, and then went to Tianlongwei official office.

Compared with the laxity of the Earth Tiger Guards, the Tianlong Guards have strict rules because they guard the palace and have heavy responsibilities.

The entire Tianlongwei has a total of 1 people, who are in charge of five school lieutenants, and the top is the deputy capital and the capital.

However, the five school lieutenants directly obeyed the orders of Yu Dutong Huo Tianguang, they were all Huo Tianguang's confidantes, and they could listen to Shen Ning's orders or not.

Shen Ning was self-aware, and never thought of arranging these people to do things in the past.

Tianlongwei guards the entire palace, which is divided into the imperial city and the palace city.The defense further outside belongs to the Suwei Army.

Among them, two school lieutenants are in charge of the imperial city, and three school lieutenants are in charge of the palace city. There are five steps, one post, and ten steps and one sentry. The level of alert makes it difficult for assassins to sneak into the palace city.
