Great Chu Deqing October 17, 26th year.

The weather in Kyoto has obviously cooled down. The carriages in each mansion have been wrapped in warm brocade, and stoves have been installed in the carriages. As for the mansions and courtyards, winter arrangements have already begun.

The masters, wives, young masters and ladies all began to wear fur brocade warm robes, and the charcoal fire in the house was also filled.

The son-in-law's mansion naturally followed the rules of the nobility, and everyone in the mansion began to buy winter clothes. Xue Poye didn't need to worry about it at all. Princess Yi carefully bought a lot of fur clothes for Xue Poye and the three of them.

Although the weather is cold, Princess Yi has no time to rest. Xue Poye knows that this cold day is easier to exercise people's will, and can also practice archery standards that cannot be reached on weekdays, so he personally took Princess Yi to the school grounds Practice archery, this activity, on the contrary, is much warmer.

This should have been an ordinary day, and Xue Poye was not prepared for any major incidents.

At noon, when I was about to eat, I saw a young servant rushing to the school grounds, and said loudly: "Princess, Master Xue, go and receive the order!"

Princess Yi seems to be used to receiving orders, and she doesn't have any special expression. On the contrary, Xue Poye always saw the scene of the imperial palace's ministers receiving orders on TV, but she didn't expect to experience it personally today.

Of course, he knew in his heart that it had nothing to do with him if the Prince Consort's Mansion accepted the order.

According to the rules of Da Chu, when the decree is handed down from the palace, all the young and old in the entire mansion will welcome it. It is extremely grand, and it is necessary to burn incense and set up an altar, which is no less pompous than worshiping ancestors.

Fortunately, the son-in-law's mansion is a place where orders are often received, and preparations should be made quickly. By the time Xue Poye and Princess Yi arrived at the compound, the ground was already crowded with kneeling people. Beside the incense table at the front, handsome and elegant The son-in-law was talking respectfully with the deacons and eunuchs in the palace, and he looked very happy and happy.

Xue Poye saw Lady Lv and Xiao Shitou also mixed in the crowd, walked over silently, and bowed down beside them, Princess Yi naturally walked quickly to the side of the son-in-law, and followed the son-in-law to meet him. Purpose.

Fortunately, the courtyard is big, otherwise there would be about two hundred servants, guards and maidservants in the son-in-law's mansion, and there would be no room for such a big place.

Xue Poye even suspected that those princes and nobles built large courtyards just to meet the imperial decree.

"The decree has arrived!"

The deacon and eunuch screamed, and the son-in-law led a large group of people to bow down on the ground, and said loudly: "Your servant, Yi Chenyuan, leads the crowd to welcome the order!"

Xue Poye heard it from behind, and thought to himself: "It turns out that the son-in-law's name is Yi Chenyuan, which is a very strange name." It was the first time that Xue Poye received an order and mixed in the crowd to worship, Xue Poye was really not used to it, seeing the green lady Liu Mei Frowning tightly, it is obvious that this little lady is unwilling to worship the emperor in her heart, it is just helpless.

The deacon and eunuch cleared his throat, then slowly opened the golden imperial decree, and said in a loud voice: "Following the heavens, the emperor's decree said: The first emperor was brave and virtuous, protected the foundation of our country, set up a feather forest, guarded the palace wall, and blessed the world. Lu Wanmin. The former vice president of Yubayashi, Wei Ding Yi, died for some reason. Yubayashi Weique, now checks Xue's stone, is brave, witty, and loyal. He is the pillar of the country and the blessing of the country. Instruct Xue Shishitou to fill the position of Deputy General Guard of Habayashi, dedicate himself to serve the community, and honor this!"

The eunuch closed the imperial edict leisurely, and said loudly, "Where is Xue Shishi? Are you still here to receive the edict?"

Xue Poye was lying on the ground looking at the plump buttocks of a plump buttocks girl in front of her. The little colored pants tightly wrapped her buttocks, and the cloth seemed to be stretched out by her fat buttocks. The beautiful buttocks were beautifully shaped , full of flexibility, was visually checking whether the two buttocks were the same size, but didn't listen to the content of the imperial decree said by the deacon eunuch, suddenly heard "Xue Shitou", Xue Poye wondered in his heart: "Isn't this calling me?" Is it?" He raised his head and looked towards the deacon eunuch, only to see that eunuch was looking around, looking for someone.

Lady Lv heard the content of the imperial decree clearly, but she also felt that she had heard it wrong. The content of the imperial decree was obviously to promote Xue Poye as the deputy general guard of the Yulin Camp. If this decree was true, then Apparently it's a fantasy.

Xue Poye is only a student with the qualifications, which can be said to be only a grade higher than that of ordinary people, and the position of deputy general guard of the Kyoto Yulinying, although the official position in Kyoto is like a cow, it is still a huge vacancy. Even more powerful than those high-ranking officials.

Yubayashiying is the Royal Guards, a first-class elite, with a chief guard and three deputy chief guards, which are three teams, responsible for the safety of the royal family, and its importance is self-evident.

Although the deputy general guard is lower than the general guard, many people flock to him. Those nobles with ambitions even try their best to get their own people into the Habayashi camp.

Everyone understands the mystery and the weight of Habayashi Ying.

No matter who broke his head, it is impossible to know that this good job will fall on Xue Shitou, who is thousands of miles away from this matter and who is out of reach.

Although Yi Chenyuan, son-in-law, was also very shocked by this appointment, he was not an ordinary person after all, so he kept calm and said loudly: "Xue Shitou, hurry up and receive the order."

At this moment, Xue Poye really knew that he was calling him, so he got up immediately, let go of his big fat buttocks, walked out quickly, ran to the deacon and eunuch, knelt down, raised his hands according to the scene on TV, and said: "Cao Min welcomes you!" Purpose!"

The deacon and eunuch looked at Xue Poye for a while, glanced at the son-in-law, and saw that the son-in-law nodded slightly, then handed over the imperial decree to Xue Poye, and said with a smile: "Vice President Xue, our family is here to give you Congratulations, congratulations!"

Xue Poye's head was dizzy, and he was confused in surprise, because he didn't know what kind of thing it was, how he became the deputy general guard of Yubayashiying in a single jump?

Isn't this a dream?

The deacon eunuch waved his hand, and several young eunuchs came out immediately behind, each holding a large brown wooden plate with things on it.

"This is the golden niche chain mail given by the Holy Majesty, as well as the token token of the deputy general guard of the Habayashi Camp. Please check and accept it, Mr. Xue." The deacon and eunuch said with a smile on his face: "After receiving the imperial decree and reward, clean it up. , please go on an errand tomorrow."

Xue Poye stood up, handed the imperial decree to the servant beside him, looked at the deacon and eunuch, and said in a daze, "I...I am the deputy general guard of the Yulin Camp?"

The deacon and eunuch smiled and said: "Congratulations to Lord Xue, congratulations to Lord Xue, the greatness of the Holy Lord, Lord Xue has a bright future."

Xue Poye looked behind the deacon eunuch, and saw that in the big brown wooden plate held by the little eunuch, there were golden armor, silver boots, silver gloves, a golden helmet, and a ram's horn-shaped helmet on the helmet. Dingzi.

The eunuch in the middle, the thing in the wooden tray is very small, just a piece of emerald green token, crystal clear, green light, Xue Poye went up to have a look, and saw seven small characters engraved on it, The three characters "Habayashi Camp" are horizontally placed on the top, and the four characters "Deputy General Guard Talisman" are vertically placed below.

The son-in-law stepped forward gracefully, and said with a smile: "Master Xue... No, Master Xue, congratulations to you."

Xue Poye frowned, looked at the beautiful son-in-law, shook his head, and said softly: "My son-in-law, please help me ask this father-in-law if he made a mistake, this...it's impossible!"

Although the son-in-law is surprised, he has long been used to seeing the political situation in Kyoto. It is a real change, so wonderful that no one can see through it. It's a bit unbelievable, but no one can guess what the hell is going on behind those nobles, and no one dares to guess. Perhaps "Xue Shitou" serving as the deputy general guard of the Yulin Camp is just a part of the conspiracy of those people in the palace. Of course, the son-in-law will not get involved, and said with a smile: "Since the Holy Majesty passed down the message, it always has the meaning of the Holy Majesty. The power of the sky is unfathomable. You accept the order, clean up well, and go to work tomorrow. "

Xue Poye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, seeing the deacon eunuch looking at him with a smile, he knew what was going on in his heart, walked over, and quietly stuffed the bank note into the deacon eunuch's hand, and the deacon eunuch skillfully slipped it into his hand. Into his arms, he laughed and said: "Master Xue, the decree has been delivered, and our family will return to the palace to return to order."

Xue Poye hurriedly said, "I'll send it off to Eunuch!"

The deacon and eunuch saluted the son-in-law again, and then led the crowd out, and Xue Poye would naturally see them off.

Except for the mansion gate, the deacon eunuch looked around, suddenly took Xue Poye's hand, walked aside, and said with a low laugh: "Master Xue, do you know who recommended you for this position?"

Xue Poye immediately clasped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice from my father-in-law!"

The deacon and eunuch whispered, "It's the fourth prince!"

Xue Poye was startled. In his opinion, the person who recommended him for such an important position, from an unofficial student to the deputy general guard of the Yubayashi Camp, must be an extraordinary person.

The second prince Liu Ziyin is naturally the one who bears the brunt. He wants to use himself as a tool to win over the eldest princess, and also uses himself to do things for him. He will show his sincerity no matter what, and the official position of the deputy general guard of Yubayashiying is enough. express his sincerity.

Or Tan Ziqing, the old guy had already vaguely revealed something to himself that night, and he also knew that he would receive an imperial edict in the near future, but Xue Poye didn't take it to heart, and suddenly received such an imperial edict today, could it be the old man The guy recommends in the back?This possibility is the greatest. Tan Ziqing, as the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is the confidant of His Majesty the Emperor. If he wants to speak for himself, it will be very influential.

Xue Poye even thought it was the eldest princess. If the eldest princess wants to become a member of Yulinying, it is really very simple, probably only a matter of one sentence.

There are even other people, those guys hiding in the dark, such as the guy I met in Hexinuma...!

But with all his calculations, it is impossible for him to be the Fourth Prince Liu Zifu!

This is as ridiculous as Guan Gong's battle with Qin Opera, and as unimaginable as the intimacy between Palestine and Israel.

But Xue Poye knew that this matter was not funny at all, and it was not unbelievable without any reason. Prince Fu must have a deep purpose for doing this.

Prince Fu is likely to use this to please Xue Poye and let Xue Poye belong to his family. In this way, even if the eldest princess will not support him, she will not support Prince Fu.

Before this imperial decree was issued, there had naturally been some debate in the imperial court. No one would be willing to let a person with no background and no faction take such an important position.

Prince Fu's faction who proposed this idea naturally had nothing to say. Since the master said something, it naturally had the master's intentions.

But the big and small officials of other factions will not allow such things to happen.

You are one of the three major royal families of the Great Chu Kingdom. Before the other two major families had expressed their views, Duke Liu was the first to question this matter. It would be too inappropriate to rashly promote him as the deputy general guard of the Habayashi Battalion once in a battle.

The Yulinying is the imperial guards, the emperor's personal guards, not only must they be clever, order and prohibit, but also have a loyal heart, can Xue Shitou achieve this?

Naturally, the princelings also agreed.

For the princelings, the biggest regret is probably the Habayashi Camp. This super elite guard army in the imperial city has never had the power of the prince, and the prince has always focused on this, thinking about it several times. Putting people in the Yulin camp, but the Yulin camp is solid, with the personal protection of His Majesty the Emperor, unless His Majesty the Emperor wields the ink pen, otherwise it will be difficult to infiltrate, and the courtiers also know that if you put in the effort, maybe you can really Mixing his own people into the Yulin Camp, but once the matter is exposed and His Majesty the Emperor knows, the consequences must be disastrous, so no one dares to take this risk, and can only arrange people to go in from the front.

Arranging people to go in openly, all factions and factions have tried it, but His Majesty the Emperor has always kept this silent, so this extremely critical Habayashi Camp is as calm as clear water!

Even the faction of Prince Fu who put forward this idea may be just a temptation in itself.

If Prince Fu really wanted to arrange for people to enter the Yulin Camp, he would definitely arrange for his confidants, but he also knew that if he directly submitted the paper and arranged for his confidants to enter the Yulin Camp, not only would His Majesty not be able to pass this test, the most important thing would be Yes, it will definitely attract criticism from the courtiers. Those factions that were originally opposed to swords and guns are very likely to unite because Prince Fu recommended his confidants, and all of them are directed at Prince Fu.

So he cleverly recommended that irrelevant person, but the person who has the background of the eldest princess, and more importantly, that is the person the second prince is trying to win over now.

He understands that if his recommendation fails, he will not lose anything, but if he succeeds, the benefits he will reap will be huge.

Not to mention ingratiating the eldest princess, not to mention getting closer to Xue Poye, the most important thing is that once you succeed, your prestige and influence in the court will be greatly increased, because if His Majesty the Emperor agrees to "Xue Shishi" as The deputy general guard of the Yulin Camp, no matter what the reason for His Majesty the Emperor, there will be an impression in the hearts of the officials. Everyone will feel that His Majesty the Emperor agreed to the recommendation of Prince Fu, so what is Prince Fu in the heart of the Emperor? What kind of location?

The point is that at this time, when the prince is under house arrest, if such influence can be formed, then some ministers who take a wait-and-see attitude may presumptuously think that they have figured out His Majesty's intentions, thinking that His Majesty's move is to show everyone It means something, so it is very likely that he will devote himself to Prince Fu's sect.

As the two most powerful institutions in the Imperial City of Kyoto, the Kyoto Prefecture and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have maintained absolute consistency this time, and they are silent and watching the changes.

Regarding Prince Fu's trick this time, the one who was most angry was of course Prince Yin.

He really didn't expect that Prince Fu would come up with such a move, he almost blamed himself for being so late, that he didn't think of such a method of killing birds with one stone.

From the bottom of his heart, if Xue Poye really favored him, he certainly hoped that Xue Poye could enter the Yulin Camp. In this way, his power would correspondingly infiltrate into this place where the prince's power is extremely difficult to penetrate.

However, Shang Zhezi proposed this plan, but it was his deadly rival, Prince Fu, which made him a little conflicted. If he really agreed with Xue Poye as the deputy general guard of the Yulin Camp in the court, then the final benefit would definitely be Prince Fu's profit. In the past, Prince Fu would get many unexpected and huge benefits through this matter, but he has already fallen behind.Once Xue Poye really becomes the deputy general guard of the Yulin Camp, it is really a big question which faction this seemingly unscheming and even upright kid will vote for. The favor of the prince's promotion has turned to his mortal enemy. Once this happens, the consequences will be very unfortunate, because Xue Poye's bias is likely to affect the eldest princess' attitude through Princess Yi.

But if he wants to object, Prince Yin has to weigh it in his heart.

Judging from the current situation, Xue Poye seems to have an ambiguous attitude towards his own side, and if Xue Poye is really one of his own after serving as the deputy general guard of Yulinying, then he will get huge benefits unintentionally , There will never be too many such opportunities. If you miss this time, if you want to develop power in the Yubayashi camp in the future, it may be something you can have but not ask for.

Under the ulterior motives of each faction, this seemingly ordinary appointment has become a major issue related to the interests of each faction. Supporters and opponents have their own opinions. They run on each other and even abuse each other, doing their best for the interests of their respective factions.

Emperor Deqing watched all this with cold eyes. This man at the pinnacle of power always had thoughts in his heart that no one else could touch.

"The draft decree, according to Liu Zifu's performance, ordered Xue Shitou to serve as the deputy general guard of the Yulin camp." Emperor Deqing passed down the imperial decree in his low voice: "There is no need for courtiers to discuss!"

Therefore, in a strange competition for political interests, Xue Poye unbelievably became the ultimate beneficiary.

Prince Fu is naturally complacent, this is the result he wants most.

His trick is obviously very effective. At the critical moment when the prince is under house arrest, the position in the Habayashi camp, which His Majesty never agreed to in the past, was successfully accepted by His Majesty after he submitted the paperwork. This undoubtedly made many "smart people" "I muttered in my heart: "Could it be that the sage intends to cultivate Prince Fu? The prince is banned, and at this time to support Prince Fu, then...!"

Some thoughts that dare not express publicly have been overflowing in the hearts of many ministers.

There will always be some unimaginable and puzzling things happening in the power struggle, but many ministers seem to have overlooked one thing.

Could it be that their emperor really wanted to support Prince Fu?What is the plan of His Majesty the emperor, with a heart as deep as the sea and as unfathomable as the sky? ——

Let me explain, because the protagonist is selected as a scholar, according to common sense, he should not claim to be a grassroots citizen. This is a mistake by the author, and he is not thoughtful. I would like to explain it and will revise it in the near future.
