Chapter 274 The Emperor’s Temptation

Although the third-class guards are of the fifth rank, they are actually nothing in the palace, because there are 2,000 guards in the entire palace, including 60 first-class guards of the third rank, 150 second-class guards of the fourth rank, 270 third-class guards of the fifth rank, and 90 blue-feathered guards of the sixth rank. Among them, there are blue-feathered guards awarded by the emperor. Those who are awarded are temporary positions. There are less than half of the real blue-feathered guards in the palace. The other soldiers are soldiers of the guard camp. Although they are under the management of the minister of guards, they are not related to Zhao Yuanlang and his group of guards.

In addition to the sixty first-class guards who always followed the emperor to protect him, the second-class guards numbered 150 and the third-class guards numbered 70, except for some who accompanied the emperor everywhere, most of them were responsible for guarding the Qianqing Gate. As for the blue-feathered guards, they were pure guard backups, and they were basically temporary officials who did odd jobs. Those temporary officials were okay, but those blue-feathered guards who did odd jobs didn't have a good life. They always did the dirtiest and most tiring work in the guard department.

The Grand Secretary standing in front of Zhao Yuanlang began to tell Zhao Yuanlang some precautions, and then thought from time to time that Zhao Yuanlang was really lucky. A mere third-class guard was not worth mentioning, but this position of walking in front of the emperor made Zhao Yuanlang powerful all of a sudden. His status surpassed that of the second-class guards and was slightly lower than that of the first-class guards in front of the emperor.

The commander of the Imperial Guards, Lord Jin, is the descendant of the current emperor's first-class guards in Qianlong Land. He is extremely loyal to the current emperor and is also very good at guessing the emperor's intentions, so he can be the second-in-command of the Imperial Guards. He looked at Zhao Yuanlang for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Guard Jia, His Majesty values ​​you, but you are not familiar with your duties. How about this. You will follow Ma Zhen and be responsible for the guard work of the Yangxin Palace."

The first-class guard standing behind Lord Jin immediately stood up and said, "Yes!"

He was said to be responsible for the guarding of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but in fact he was just standing on the steps outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation and patrolling. To put it bluntly, he was looking after the emperor's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Zhao Yuanlang could be summoned by the emperor and handle some tasks assigned by the emperor.

Since Emperor Kangzheng ascended the throne, he would hold court in the Qianqing Palace every morning and would summon ministers to see him in the Yangxin Palace only if there was something important after the court session.

Because Zhao Yuanlang was hunchbacked, Ma Zhen arranged for Zhao Yuanlang to lead a team of soldiers with him to patrol the square of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The emperor happened to be returning from court at the Qianqing Palace and saw Zhao Yuanlang, who was hunched over.

The Emperor looked at Zhao Yuanlang, who was hunched over and had a left arm that was shaking weakly, and frowned as he asked, "Is he really as powerful as you say?"

Dai Quan hurriedly said cautiously, "Even if I have a hundred guts, I dare not deceive Your Majesty. Yesterday, the White Lotus bandits, Bloodthirsty Knife Hu Zhong, Zhen Sanshan Yang Yun, etc., fell to the ground before they could take his attack. They are the top ten masters in the martial arts world. Your Majesty, do you still remember the report on his massacre? He killed more than 500 people by himself, and that tribe only had about a thousand people."

The current emperor frowned and nodded, and said to Dai Quan beside him: "Arrange a few people to find out his faults in the evening and see how good he is."

"As ordered."

........

The day's work ended quickly and it was time to change shifts. Zhao Yuanlang followed Ma Zhen back to the Guard Office. The guards in the Guard Office looked at him strangely, especially many of the second-class guards.

When a guard bumped into Zhao Yuanlang casually, Zhao Yuanlang frowned and didn't intend to pay attention to him.

However, the dozen or so first-class guards in the room, including Ma Zhen, did not say anything and just watched the fun.

"Hey, you cripple, you're so arrogant. Don't you know how to apologize after you bumped into me?" The guard grabbed Zhao Yuanlang and said viciously.

"I'm sorry." Zhao Yuanlang frowned.

"Just saying sorry is all? My shoulder hurts, I think you need to give me some money for the medicine."

"Rich?"

The guard was a little confused. Is he so easy to talk to? But after thinking about the emperor's will, he grabbed Zhao Yuanlang and said, "It's not much. About 100 taels of silver will be enough!"

Zhao Yuanlang didn't care at all. He took out a silver note of one hundred taels from his pocket and handed it to him. The second-class guard didn't know what to say.

The guards who had been watching for a long time began to clamor, calling the Ningguo Mansion a weakling, a coward, and a coward as ugly as they could.

Zhao Yuanlang still didn't care: "Are you done? If you are, then we can go home."

The guard's face changed drastically. Looking at Dai Quan who was secretly giving him a look at the door, he gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, I just don't like you. How can a mere third-class guard like you be qualified to walk in front of the emperor? Don't think that you are fine just because you came from the Ningguo Mansion. We are all descendants of meritorious service. Strength speaks for itself. Since you are so rich, you have to give me one hundred taels every day. Do you hear me...ah!"

Before the second-class guard could finish his words, he flew out and lay miserably on the ground.

At the window at the corner of the guardhouse, His Majesty the Emperor frowned. It was happening so fast that he couldn't see clearly.

The second-class guards in the room were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled up the second-class guard on the ground.

"Why are you still standing there? Beat him up!"

In an instant, more than twenty second-class guards rushed forward and pounced on Zhao Yuanlang, and even seven or eight third-class guards joined them.

Zhao Yuanlang remained calm. Although his body was hunched, he moved very quickly. He kicked out with his feet in a series of kicks and smashed the guards' heads with whatever he could get his hands on in his right hand.

Soon, more than a dozen guards fell to the ground, and two of them even broke the window and hung on the corridor outside. Needless to say, they had fainted.

The remaining dozen or so guards did not dare to go forward. Instead, they surrounded Zhao Yuanlang, looking at him with a little fear, trying to find his weakness.

But Zhao Yuanlang did not give them a chance. He directly picked up the paperweight on the table and started beating the guards in the front. His speed was so fast that before they could react, these people fell to the ground with their heads in their hands and blood all over their heads.

"Enough, you are indeed a master. Ma Donglin, go ahead. If you continue to make trouble, there will be no one to protect me tomorrow." The emperor said with great satisfaction, and then walked away with his hands behind his back.

"What are you all doing?" Ma Donglin, the Grand Minister of the Imperial Guard, walked in with several first-class guards.

Zhao Yuanlang took back his own hundred-liang silver note calmly, and then took out nearly a hundred liang from several guards before saying, "Nothing, we are all descendants of meritorious service, so we are having a competition. We don't want to alarm the adults."

"It's better to do this. You better take the initiative to deal with the damage caused by this competition."

"We know that this is some compensation. Please forgive us, sir." Zhao Yuanlang handed over the nearly one hundred taels of silver he had looted to Ma Donglin.

"Very good, remember to show mercy next time. Look at all the bloody heads here. Let's go."

Zhao Yuanlang smiled at Ma Donglin who was leaving, then looked at the six or seven second-class guards still standing in the room, and smiled grimly: "Why don't you quickly help our good brothers up and send them to the Imperial Hospital for treatment."

The six or seven guards shuddered, and quickly supported and carried the group of guards away like their grandchildren.

At this time, more than a dozen first-class guards in the room came forward and boasted to Zhao Yuanlang. After all, Zhao Yuanlang's strength just now impressed them. Although they were first-class guards, their strength was only enough to beat a few ordinary people. Zhao Yuanlang's strength was indisputable. From then on, no one in the entire guard department dared to mess with Zhao Yuanlang.
