Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Returning to his own Manlu Palace, Min Huang heard about the commander of the Xiuyi Guards.

The late emperor not only left Min Huang thousands of miles of land, but also gave him the two most secret powers in his hands.

One of them is the Xiuyiwei, an institution founded by the late emperor during his reign.

At first, it was to understand the situation in various parts of the country, but later it became a purpose to collect intelligence and monitor officials.

Xiuyiwei directly obeyed the emperor's orders and could directly arrest, interrogate and sentence "criminals" without bypassing the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and other departments.

For a period of time, the late emperor used embroidered clothes and guards extensively, which made everyone in the court feel in danger and panic.

Especially in the later years of the late emperor's life, he felt the weakness of his body and the passage of life, and he wanted to control everything more and more.

The embroidered guards were pervasive and concocted many unjust, false and wrong cases in order to attract favors.

After a bloody storm, the late emperor luckily passed away. If he had continued his troubles, he would probably have caused a coup in the palace!

After this very painful experience, the courtiers hated Xiu Yiwei deeply.

After Min Huang ascended the throne, in order to carry out benevolent government and win over the courtiers, he took the initiative to say that he would never use the embroidered guards easily!
Xiuyiwei was suppressed and no longer behaved as arrogantly and domineering as a few years ago.

However, the moment he heard the secret in Yongshou Palace, Min Huang suddenly realized——

Embroidered clothing is still very necessary!
He is an emperor, but he is like a deaf and blind man.

Not to mention the secrets of "back then", even the secrets of the Queen Mother and A-Xian should not be considered top secrets in the harem.

Otherwise, Zhou Shouyuan wouldn't say anything about "it looks like a flower on the surface, but it's actually a mess."

Even old eunuchs like Zhou Shouyuan had heard about it, but Min Huang, the real owner of the palace, knew nothing about it.

The more Min Huang thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Therefore, even if it was not specifically to investigate what happened "back then", Min Huang would still restart the Embroidery Guard!

"Your Majesty, Lu Yuan, pays homage to your Majesty!"

The leader of the Xiuyi Guards is a middle-aged man in his thirties.

His name is Lu Yuan, and he was promoted by the late emperor.

Lu Yuan was originally a descendant of the Hou family, and he was the eldest son of Yongchang Hou.

It's a pity that the biological mother passed away early, and Yongchang Hou married his step-in-law, who was also a powerful step-in-law.

Just a year after marrying, the stepmother gave birth to a pair of twins to Marquis Yongchang.

This is so auspicious that even the late emperor and the queen mother gave him a reward.

Relying on these two children, the step-brother has completely established a foothold in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

As the eldest son of his original wife, Lu Yuan naturally became a thorn in the step-brother's side.

Within a few years, the step-in-law planned to turn Yongchang Hou and his son against each other, and Lu Yuan was kicked out of the house.

Lu Yuan is also a ruthless person.

The young man who was once well-off and well-off, once fell into despair, did not seek refuge with his mother-in-law or other relatives and friends. He went directly to join the army.

He did not rely on his status to become a meritorious officer, but started as a top soldier.

He is quite ruthless at heart, and by fighting desperately, he has managed to gain some fame in the Sixteenth Guards.

One time, the late emperor went hunting and "accidentally" encountered a crazy black bear. At the critical moment, it was Lu Yuanhan who stood in front of the late emperor without fear of death.

The late emperor escaped, and afterwards he rewarded him for his merits and called Lu Yuan to him.

After asking carefully, he found out that he was a descendant of an honorable noble, or a young gentleman whom he had met several times before. The late emperor became even more delighted.

A person with a good background, drive, and loyalty will naturally be reused.

The late emperor took Lu Yuan with him and promoted him all the way. Eventually, Lu Yuan became one of the late emperor's most trusted confidants and commanded the Xiu Yi Guard.

It's a pity that Lu Yuan had just become the commander of the Xiuyi Guards, and within two years of his success, the late emperor passed away.

Min Huang, who succeeded to the throne, did not reuse Xiuyiwei due to various considerations.

Lu Yuan, the once famous and glorious commander of the Imperial Guard, seemed to have become a rat crossing the street.People or family members who had been arrested by Lu Yuan all came to "revenge themselves."

In the past three years, Lu Yuan's life has been really difficult.

However, Lu Yuan is a person who has experienced troughs before, and he will not give up easily.

Not talking about the chicken soup literature of "It's impossible to survive in peace", Lu Yuan firmly believes that based on the facts alone -

The emperor will not keep Xiuyiwei silent forever.

Those in power still prefer the feeling of being in control of everything.

And the embroidered guards are the eyes, ears, and minions of the emperor!
Sure enough, Lu Yuan waited for the opportunity to "recover".

He was summoned by the emperor and entered the Manna Palace again.

Lu Yuan knelt down and saluted respectfully, his cold and sinister face full of awe for the emperor.

Min Huang did not scream in a hurry.

He was condescending, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, as if he could see through Lu Yuan's entire being.

Lu Yuan lowered his head and clasped his hands on the floor——

[Although His Majesty is young, he already possesses royal power. 】

[Your Majesty is worthy of being the successor chosen by the late emperor. Although his aura is weaker than that of the late emperor, it is still extremely powerful. 】

Min Huang's eyes flashed.

Well, although this guy still thinks about his father, he doesn't despise me.

Unlike those old ministers in the court who smiled and laughed on the surface, but felt all kinds of disgust and complaints in their hearts.

Min Huang "heard" him without any respect.

As for Lu Yuan, although he doesn't have much respect, at least he doesn't rely on his old age.

Besides, this was the first time Lu Yuan saw Min Huang after the death of the late emperor. If he respected Min Huang from the bottom of his heart, that would be abnormal.

Lu Yuan is not a pure minister who abides by etiquette and law. He is a ruthless Xiu Yiwei of the same age who has killed countless people.

He will be loyal to the emperor, but it will take time and effort to fundamentally and completely conquer him.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuan's knees were numb from his knees, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Min Huang finally spoke: "Commander Lu, can I trust you?"

Lu Yuan's heart shook slightly.

He knew this was his only chance.

Whether Xiuyiwei will continue to be sealed away or whether it can regain its former glory depends on today.

[Your Majesty probably wants to use the Xiuyi Guards, but he is worried that we are all veterans of the late emperor and cannot be loyal to your Majesty! 】

[Actually, Your Majesty is overly worried. The Xiuyi Guards are always loyal to the Emperor! 】

The late emperor was an emperor, and he is also an emperor today!
Xiuyiwei can be loyal to the late emperor, and naturally he can also be loyal to the present.

The Xiuyi Guards themselves depended on the emperor's attention. Once the emperor no longer valued them, no matter how prominent they were, they would only become homeless dogs.

[Three years of being a street rat, not only me, but also the brothers no longer want to live like that. 】

Whether it was out of responsibility or for his own wealth, Lu Yuan had no reason not to be loyal to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to do your best for Your Majesty!"

Min Huang:......

Well, although it's not that satisfying, it's not too bad either.

Lu Yuan's loyalty is definitely not pure enough, but it is still within the range that Min Huang is willing to accept!
