Tiance

Every time Zhao Zhen went out of the palace in micro-clothes, he pretended to be his cousin Zhao Liuhe, the son of the Baxian King, so he didn't bring many guards. The guards were relieved to see Bai Jincheng, a master, escorting them. After all, they were on the way back to the palace. Go through the night market.

When it comes to the night market, Bai Jincheng really finds it very novel, because there was a night ban in Datang.Except for the three days of Shangyuan Festival every year, people are not allowed to go out at night for the rest of the day. Although the management was not so strict during the war, everyone was in no mood to entertain during the war.The Great Song Dynasty under the rule of Zhao Zhen was really a very comfortable place. The emperor was gentle and simple, and the lives of the people were relatively stable and prosperous. There were no major wars at the border.If the two dynasties are compared to human beings, then Datang is a chivalrous knight who flaunts wanton and happy enmity, while Song Dynasty is a gentle, elegant, quiet and peaceful scholar.

He has been in Dasong for half a year, and he didn't have any sense of belonging here at first, but now he gradually has friends, and after walking around and looking around, he gradually likes this place.Maybe he hasn't loved Datang so deeply, but he has become more and more used to life here.

When walking past the night market, he bought a rattle and a cloth tiger from a roadside stall, handed them to Zhao Zhen through the window of the carriage, and said with a smile, "Take it back and give it to your son to play with."

Zhao Zhen took it over with a smile, "He's not yet full moon, how can he play this?"

"It's good to put it on display, children like brightly colored things, you hang them by the side of the cradle," Bai Jincheng said with a very experienced look, "I used to see my friends coaxing children like this."

Zhao Zhen held up the bright red cloth tiger with both hands and looked at it, then nodded: "Well, it's pretty enough."

"By the way, have you named the child yet?" Bai Jincheng asked.

"The name needs to be discussed by the Ministry of Rites, but Uncle Bawang gave him a nickname of Changsheng, which I think is quite good," Zhao Zhen said to him, and saw him leaning over on a horse and talking to himself by the window , quickly pushed his head, "Look where you are!"

Captain Bai smiled triumphantly: "I still need to watch the road? Niu Niu will walk by herself. There is simply no horse in this world who is smarter and more caring than our Niu Niu!"

The guards on both sides of the carriage listened to the two chattering, tried to keep their faces paralyzed, and thought to themselves: How long will they have to talk about this family?

Then the two of them stopped at the gate of the palace...

When Zhao Zhenlin arrived, he also told Bai Jincheng: "Come tomorrow when Bao Qing goes to court, and then we will discuss the matter of planning."

So the next day, the two of them started daily routines in the imperial study.

"How about it, do you like that rattle drum and cloth tiger Changsheng?" Bai Jincheng asked Zhao Zhen as soon as he saw it.

Zhao Zhen just smiled: "I really like it! Hanging on the side of the cradle, he can't move his eyes, and I don't know if such a small person can see clearly."

Captain Bai was proud: "I'll just say it, I don't want to see who picks it!"

"Yes, yes, you are the best," Zhao Zhen boasted helplessly, "Then can we get down to business?"

Bai Jincheng then took out a stack of papers and handed it to him: "Look at the plan I wrote after I went back last night."

Zhao Zhen was surprised: "You still write this?"

"What are you talking about!" Bai Jincheng gave him a blank look, "I also studied for a few years when I was a child, okay? Don't you think I'm a reckless man who can only wield a gun?"

"No, no, you are Captain Bai with both civil and military skills!" Zhao Zhen said with dignity, "And soon you will become Commander Bai with both civil and military skills!"

After reading Bai Jincheng's plan, he said pleasantly: "You think the same as I do! I thought that if you were under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, you would not be able to do anything. It's better to be directly under the management of Kaifeng Mansion and Bao Qing, anyway. Bao Qing is also the prime minister now."

Bai Jincheng's plan is to first pull up a relatively small team, and put them directly in the Kaifeng Mansion, directly under the jurisdiction of Mr. Bao, firstly because he doesn't want to deal with other officials, and secondly because the Kaifeng Mansion is very well informed—— Mr. Bao is too "blue sky", but anyone who has a grievance likes to find him, if he is directly under Kaifeng Mansion, are you afraid that there will be no case?Another reason is that Kaifeng Mansion is a big place, and the small school field is enough for him to train.If it expands in the future, he will find another place, anyway, he believes that Zhao Zhen will not treat him badly.

"Huh? Why is the name undecided? Isn't it called Tiance Mansion?" Zhao Zhen thought of another question.

"You're stupid..." Bai Jincheng looked at him helplessly, "Tiance Mansion belongs to the Tang Dynasty. If it's called this name, what would your ministers say about you? Besides, the scale is so small, what's the name 'fu'?"

Zhao Zhen really didn't expect that he would consider this for himself, because the word "Tiance Mansion" should be very meaningful to him, and he couldn't help being moved, "It's okay, since it's not easy to call it 'Fu', Then call it Tiance Guard. Anyway, those ministers don’t know your origin, so they told them that you are the descendant of Tiance Mansion spear art in the Tang Dynasty, so you use this name, because you saved me and the emperor. Mother's credit, can't you ask for a name? You came here from Tang Dynasty without any relatives, so you have something to think about."

Bai Jincheng was stunned for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder emotionally: "Zhenzhen, you are such a worthwhile friend! Although you are poor, I don't dislike you at all!"

Zhao Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Let's not talk about dislike or dislike, what's the matter with 'Zhen Zhen'?"

"Oh, don't I think it's too disrespectful to call people by their first names? Cursors are called by their first names." Bai Jincheng said innocently, "We have such a good relationship, how can I use my first names? What do you call you by your surname? Who told you to have a one-letter name, if you have a two-letter name or a table character, of course I won’t call you Zhenzhen.”

The corner of Zhao Zhen's mouth twitched: "When did you see the emperor have a sign?"

"Isn't that enough? Xiao Zhan is still called 'Zhao Zhao'," Bai Jincheng said, "Okay, okay, don't worry about this appellation, hurry up and get down to business, what kind of official do you plan to make me?"

Being interrupted by him like this, Zhao Zhen forgot that he actually had a double name called "Zhao Yiyi". After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't you just be the same as Zhan Weiwei? Alright, I can't give you a military post, if you get a military post, you will be under the control of the Privy Council."

Originally, Bai Jincheng asked about the official position just to change the topic, he didn't care much about how old the official was, so he asked again: "Then where do you think the people under me should come from?"

"Let's start with the forbidden army. There are too many forbidden soldiers. It doesn't matter if you just pick a few people." Zhao Zhen began to analyze the military system of the Song Dynasty for him. The imperial palace is guarding the entire capital, and some are stationed in various places, so there are many people, you can choose from the best."

Bai Jincheng smiled: "Come on, the elites in your imperial army are not as good as an ordinary soldier in my Tiance Mansion, and our Tiance Mansion only has more than [-] soldiers, all of whom are the elites of the Tang Dynasty You can only join after three generations of Zhongliang, and if you pull out a small soldier, you will be a general for three generations. Those people in your imperial army will be picked out and I will have to train them hard before they can use them."

Zhao Zhen hurriedly told him to keep his voice down: "Don't let people outside hear it! Then what are you going to do?"

Bai Jincheng told him about the affairs of Ding Zhaohui and Ding Yuehua, "It's easier to handle Jianghu affairs with Jianghu people. I heard from the Ding brothers that there are many martial arts students participating in each martial arts exam, and there are many Jianghu people among them. Originally Da Ding also intends to let Xiao Ding participate in this year's martial arts, but I want him to be my deputy commander."

Zhao Zhen suddenly realized: "You're right! There aren't many people admitted in martial arts exams every year, and it would be good if those who fail the exams have a place to go. Just two months later, the martial arts exams will start, and we can make the framework first , When the time comes, the person will be selected and the training will start.”

The two discussed some details and finally settled the matter.The next day when Zhao Zhen went to court, he discussed with the ministers again, and then issued an order to seal Bai Jincheng as the fourth-rank imperial guard with swords, and let him form Tiance Guards to handle Jianghu affairs.Tiance Guard is directly under the Kaifeng Mansion, and only obeys the orders of Zhao Zhen and Lord Bao.

As soon as the news came out, a person came to Kaifeng Mansion, pestering Bai Jincheng to join Tiance Guard, even if he was a small soldier.Captain Bai disagreed with all his life - he is a fourth-rank official, how can he be the boss of a royal family?

That's right, the one who came was Zhao Liuhe, the son of the eight sage kings whose identity was borrowed by Zhao Zhen every time.Bai Jincheng had heard Zhao Zhen mention him all the time before, but he had never met him before. Now that he saw him, he finally understood why Zhao Zhen always pretended to be him, because he looked quite similar to Zhao Zhen.

"Commander Bai, Guard Bai, just promise me, my father and king have promised," Zhao Liuhe followed from the small school all the way to the stables, "I have wanted to be a knight since I was a child, but it is definitely inappropriate for me to enter the rivers and lakes with my status. , Now that I finally have the opportunity of Tiancewei, how difficult it is for me!"

Bai Jincheng sighed: "My son, have you ever killed someone? Do you dare to kill someone?"

Zhao Liuhe was taken aback: "Of course not! How could I do such a bloody thing!"

Now even Niuniu can't help but despise him—you still want to be a strategist if you haven't killed anyone?Even our well-mannered military division Zhu has been on the battlefield!

Bai Jincheng was helpless, and pointed at Niu Niu: "My lord, look, isn't Niu Niu cute?"

Zhao Liuhe looked at Niuniu's watery eyes and nodded.

"Even a cute little girl like Niuniu did the bloody thing you said, you..." Captain Bai patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Stop making trouble, go back and be your eldest son."

Mr. Shizi struggled for a while, and said: "Then I heard from my brother, that you have already reserved a deputy commander, but you still lack a master book?"

Bai Jincheng was on the verge of collapse: "My lord, stop teasing me, please! I am a fourth-rank official, and the deputy commander is only the son of the general soldier. Now I am still working as a fisherman in Songjiang Mansion. How dare we be your boss! Do The words in my master book are not graded!"

Zhao Liuhe tried his best to introduce himself: "Look, I'm just a prince, and I don't have any real job. I usually help my father manage the family's property, or study, practice martial arts, etc. Let me exercise. Don't worry, I can really help you manage paperwork and other affairs!"

Bai Jincheng was so entangled by him that he couldn't help it, and Siyu looked at him: "Does your brother agree?"

Lord Shizi nodded desperately.

"Then can you promise to fully obey the order?" Bai Jincheng had no choice but to compromise.

"Yes!" Zhao Liuhe jumped up happily, "Master Commander, you can give me orders now!"

Commander waved his hand weakly: "Then you go and discuss with Mr. Gongsun where in the mansion our camp should be arranged in the future."

Zhao Liuhe went happily.

Bai Jincheng was about to enter the palace to denounce Zhao Zhen - who made Zhao Zhen throw such a bastard to him - but ran into Master Bao head-on.

"Hanzhang, quickly change the red dress!" Master Bao sighed, "The empress has died!"

The author has something to say: The character Zhao Liuhe was only mentioned once or twice in the original book, and the Baxian King was actually dead at that time, so he was titled "Liuhe King" instead of Liuhe, but I couldn't find it. His name should just be Zhao Liuhe...

PS: Mr. Bao has never been a prime minister, but it is written like this in the original book, so I will follow the original book.According to the original book, Mr. Bao is equivalent to today’s Prime Minister, Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, Mayor of Beijing, Secretary of the Beijing Political and Legal Committee, President of the Beijing Higher People’s Court, etc.—don’t pay attention to the positions of these positions. Can it overlap now—Zhan Miao is the director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau... so what is Bai Xiaowei?The boss of the Beijing Special Police Corps?
