In the Imperial Palace, in the imperial study, there are two people who are talking about each other secretly
they are the emperor LiZong and the newly promoted Deputy eunuch.
"Any news?" Pretending to be emperor LiZong, he asked the Deputy eunuch standing beside him nervously.
The eunuch, deputy chief manager, looked happy and replied, "Congratulations!"
"What's the good news?" Asked the emperor in disguise.
The deputy chief eunuch came a little closer and replied in a low voice, "those people have done everything well."
"Although these people ask a high price, they are very reliable in handling affairs." Emperor LiZong pretended to be happy.
Deputy chief eunuch said: "a cent, a cent of goods, we spent a lot of money, of course, invited the capable people."
"What shall we do next?" She asked again.
The pretended emperor LiZong asked, "do you want to kill them?"
"It's always a disaster for these two people to stay in this world." The deputy chief eunuch replied.
After hearing this, the emperor li Zong pretended to be emperor li Zong said, "you are right, but these two people can't die yet."
"Aren't you afraid?" Asked the deputy chief eunuch.
The pretended emperor LiZong replied, "it's a joke. I first proposed this. Since the plan has already started, I won't regret it."
"A man who only knows how to kill can't make a big deal." He added.
The deputy chief eunuch said, "it's a hot potato to kill and not to let go
"What we have to do is how to use the cards in our hands." Pretending to be emperor LiZong.
With that, he whispered to the deputy chief eunuch.
After listening to him, the eunuch left the two imperial study in a hurry.
Not long after he left, a man dressed as a general dodged into the imperial study.
This man is a deputy general in the imperial forest.
"I have seen the Lord!" When he came in, he saw emperor LiZong in disguise. He bowed himself and said.
The disguised emperor LiZong is now familiar with the emperor. Seeing him salute himself, he said: "flat body!"
"My Lord, do you have anything to do with summoning the last general?" The deputy general asked after he got up.
When the emperor li Zong pretended to be a servant in the residence of prime minister Jia Sidao, he once heard that Prime Minister Jia Sidao mentioned it.
In the imperial forest army, Zheng Huchen, the current commander of the imperial forest army, has the longest service in the imperial forest army.
However, the relationship between him and Prime Minister Jia Sidao was not very good. Every time his official document was promoted to the prime minister Jia Sidao, it was detained.
For this reason, the deputy general has always been bitter about prime minister Jia Sidao. He thought that if Prime Minister Jia Sidao had not pressed him, he would have been the head of the imperial army.
Pretending to be emperor LiZong, he asked, "I'd like to promote you to the position of deputy commander of the imperial guards. I don't know if you'd like to?"
"Thank you, my Lord!" After hearing this, the deputy general was overjoyed.
He also asked: "it's just that Zheng Huchen, the commander of the current imperial army, is doing a good job. Why should he take his place?"
"Zheng Aiqing has really done a good job in the Imperial Army in the past few years. I also appreciate him, but I will immediately make an order to make him an imperial envoy to inspect the place instead of me." The emperor, pretending to be emperor LiZong, replied.
Of course, the pretended emperor LiZong didn't tell the truth. In fact, he did it for another purpose, but the time is not ripe, so he did not say it.
The deputy general said, "please rest assured, my Lord. I will try my best to do well in the affairs of the imperial army."
Hearing this, Emperor LiZong nodded with satisfaction.
He picked up an imperial edict from the table, handed it to the deputy general, and said, "go to Zheng Huchen now to pass the edict."
"Honor the decree!" The deputy general bowed to the emperor who was disguised as emperor LiZong, and then withdrew.
When Emperor LiZong pretended to do this, he was relieved.
In this palace, there is a man who has military power. He feels that his personal safety has been guaranteed.
When the newly appointed deputy commander of the Royal Army found Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Royal Army, to convey the imperial edict, it was really beyond his expectation.
You know, as the commander of the imperial guards, his important duty is to protect the safety of the imperial palace. There is nothing he has to do. Generally, he is not assigned to do other things.
If you want to be an imperial envoy and inspect the local areas, you can usually appoint a civil official of the first rank in the imperial court, but rarely send a military general.
Not to mention the emperor can not do without people.
Of course, Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, didn't know that the imperial edict sent to him was actually issued by the disguised emperor LiZong, not by the real emperor LiZong at all.He didn't know whether it was true or not. The imperial edict came. As a minister, Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, certainly did not dare to follow.
Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, handed over his work to the newly appointed deputy commander of the Imperial Army, and told his subordinates to cooperate with the newly appointed Deputy Commander when they were away.
He was a little unconvinced, but he didn't think about it.
This person is Li Hu.
Before the newly appointed deputy commander, Li Hu was the only deputy commander in the imperial army. Now he has appointed another deputy commander, and there are two deputy commanders in the imperial army at the same time. His status and power in the Imperial Army have declined relatively.
In the absence of Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, he should be the first appointed deputy commander of the imperial army.
Now he suddenly promoted a deputy general to be the commander of the Imperial Army, and temporarily presided over the work of the imperial army. Li Hu was quite embarrassed in the imperial army.
In addition, he was Jia Sidao's confidant, and the deputy general promoted from the deputy general was hated by the prime minister Jia Sidao. Li Hu jumped out and said: "now there is no one in our Imperial Army!"
"What do you mean, deputy commander Li?" After listening to him, Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, asked.
He added: "there are many talented people in our imperial army."
"Deputy commander, you're very clever!" Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, ignored Zheng Huchen, commander of the imperial army. Instead, he asked the newly appointed Deputy Commander Daodao.
Li Hu, the newly appointed deputy commander, will understand the meaning of this.
This is obviously to say that he was promoted to deputy commander not by his own real ability, but by behind the scenes operation, which is why he was appointed deputy commander.
The newly appointed Deputy Commander laughed and asked, "deputy commander Li, if you remember correctly, your father-in-law is Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, and you and your father-in-law have a good friendship with Jia Xiang, don't you?"
"What do you mean by that?" After Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, stopped, he was a little anxious and asked.
After hearing this, the newly appointed deputy commander of the Imperial Army replied, "I believe everyone here knows what it means."
"If you didn't have your father-in-law, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jia Xiangye, you, deputy commander Li, would not have the status you have today." He added.
When he said this, Li Hu was really angry. He pulled out his sword and said angrily, "since you doubt the ability of the deputy commander, let's fight in front of the big guy and see who is good."
"Li is always thinking about dueling. You don't know what you're saying when you're talking about it." The newly appointed deputy director.
He added: "if my deputy commander remembers correctly, it's in the imperial camp that you compete with Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace. As a result, someone else's house will clean up a few moves."
"You dare to laugh at the deputy commander. You don't want to live." Li Hudao, deputy commander of the imperial army.
With that, he stabbed the newly appointed deputy commander of the imperial army.
The newly appointed Deputy Commander took a step back and had to take out weapons to compete with deputy commander Li Hu.
At this time, I saw a long sword breaking out of the air and blocking back the sword of Li Hu, the deputy commander of the imperial army.
Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, saw that it was his immediate superior, Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, who stopped him.
"Why do you do that, Zheng Tongling?" Li Hu asked Zheng Huchen, commander of the imperial army.
"Don't be so impulsive," said deputy commander Li
When his boss spoke, Li Hu naturally had no choice. He snorted, took back his sword, turned around and left.
"Commander Zheng, you see, deputy commander Li is too impertinent." The newly appointed deputy commander of the imperial army.
He added: "you are his serious boss in the Royal Army."
As the highest official here, Li Hu will not easily express his inner thoughts.
"They are all brothers of their own family, serving for the Holy One. Don't care so much. " Zheng Huchen Road, commander of the imperial army.
After hearing this, the newly appointed Deputy Commander flattered him and said, "Zheng Tongling, you really deserve to be the model of our brothers in the imperial forest army. Your mind is different from ordinary people."
Such words, Zheng Huchen is not the first time to hear, he a faint smile, said: "deputy commander, you are too polite."
"Now that everything has been explained, the commander will go back." Zheng Huchen Road, commander of the imperial army.
"It's a lot of trouble here," he added
Then he left.
After Li Hu left, he did not return to his residence, but went to the residence of Jia Sidao, the prime minister.
At this time, Jia Sidao, the prime minister he wanted to see, had been put into prison by the beautiful general Chunqiu. Of course, he couldn't see him.He came here just to ask why the newly appointed deputy commander of the imperial army was a person that Prime Minister Jia Shidao hated. This time, with the appointment, Prime Minister Jia Shidao did not act.
Fortunately, he was familiar with the housekeeper of the prime minister's residence. He didn't see his master, the prime minister. The housekeeper of the prime minister's residence, Jia Zhong, met him.
After hearing about the intention of Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, Jia Zhong, the official of the prime minister's residence, said that all kinds of official documents sent to the prime minister's residence by the imperial court had to go through his hands, but he never saw this official document.
"Housekeeper Jia, this appointment is the decree of the Emperor himself." Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, told him.
Jia Zhong, the housekeeper, said, "no wonder."
"He is only a deputy general. Although he is a little well-known in the Imperial Army, how could the emperor personally issue an edict to appoint him as the deputy commander of the imperial army?" He asked again.
Deputy commander Li Hu replied: "not long ago, I said in front of the newly appointed deputy commander that he must have used some means."
"It should be like this, otherwise the emperor will not issue such an edict." The official Jia Zhongdao.
The deputy commander of the Imperial Army asked, "housekeeper Jia, when will Jia Xiang come back?"
It's a top secret that the prime minister Jia Sidao and the hell gate master disguised as mysterious swordsman leave Lin'an City. When he left, he once told the official Jia Zhong not to tell anyone.
"I'm just a slave. When the prime minister comes back, he won't tell me." Housekeeper Jia Zhong replied.
After hearing this, Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, looked disappointed.
The Chamberlain of the prime minister's house comforted him and said that as long as the prime minister Jia Sidao came back, he would immediately report the matter to the prime minister Jia Sidao.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, immediately took out a 500 Liang silver note from his pocket and handed it to housekeeper Jia Zhong.
"Isn't that appropriate?" Jia Zhong took the silver and asked.
He also said, "you should know that you will not receive salary for no work."
"Steward Jia, with the friendship between you and me, the silver of our deputy commander is your silver. You are welcome." The deputy commander of the Imperial Army led the way.
Housekeeper Jia Zhong asked: "deputy commander Li, if you say so, I will take it?"
"I'll take it, of course." The deputy commander of the Imperial Army pushed the hand of housekeeper Jia Zhong and replied.
He added: "in the future, if you are short of money, you can say that the deputy commander will satisfy you."
"Deputy commander Li, you are so kind to me." Jia Zhong, an official, said after listening to him.
He added: "to tell you the truth, except for Mr. Jia Xiang in our mansion, the person I admire most is deputy commander Li."
"It's a great honor for my deputy commander to be appreciated by housekeeper Jia in the prime minister's mansion." Li Hudao, deputy commander of the imperial army.
Jia Zhongyi, the housekeeper in the prime minister's mansion, patted his chest and said, "deputy commander Li, from now on, as long as it's related to our prime minister's mansion, you can come to me."
"It's not my boast. My prime minister will listen to my opinions nine times out of ten." He added.
Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, said: "yes, that is to say, the prime minister can't live without people like you. If not, I'm afraid that housekeeper Jia would have been a senior official in the imperial court for a long time."
"I'm flattered." After hearing this, the official Jia Zhongdao.
He added: "I still have self-knowledge. I can do a good job in serving prime minister by his side, but I can't do it if I am a top official of the imperial court."
