Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I'm not very good at pretending to be a pig and eating tigers, but you are willing to underestimate me, so I have no objection."

The old man raised his eyebrows: "Playing as a pig and eating tigers? I'm afraid it's not pretending to be a tiger and eating pigs! How can the rats in the world pretend to be a tiger?"

Li Xuan didn't care, but Zhou Shuning was dissatisfied and said in his heart: "What a great master, he should treat his brother with courtesy. What kind of character are you? How dare you speak wildly?" So he said: " How can you recognize a hero with your naked eyes?”

Li Xuandu gently patted Zhou Shuning next time: "There is no one who boasts about himself."

Zhou Shuning snorted, "How can you be boastful? My senior sister said in the letter that my brother's identity is unusual now. The great master calls you a watchword, and the earth master calls you a friend. How many people in the world have such honor? ”

The tall old man laughed: "What a big tone. Even the old master of heaven and earth have come out. Is it true that the old sword immortal in the East China Sea treats you with courtesy? Dan Taiyun in the northwest wants to make a good relationship with you. ? ”

Li Xuan didn't say anything.

Zhou Shuning's face was strange and she wanted to laugh.

Li Xuan was in deep thought again. He still thought that he had encountered these people after the palace official left. It was too coincidental, so he didn't think it was a pure coincidence, but it was more like a situation set by someone else. I don’t want to join the game, and I don’t want to make trouble at these few times, so I said, “Forget it, I won’t bother with you today. As long as you sign up for the title, I can let this prince go.”

Li Xuandu has always believed in what kind of identity he said. Even if this tall old man is a real master of the Heavenly Realm, with Li Xuandu's current realm cultivation, he is qualified to say what he said to let go of the group. , it's just that there are too many smart people in the world. If Li Xuan was timid, maybe these people really thought they had met a person who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, but Li Xuan told them bluntly, but they didn't believe it. In their opinion, It seems like Li Xuan is trying to scare them off.

Seeing that everyone was looking at jokes, Li Xuan sighed: "Well, it's hard to persuade the damn ghost."

Li Xuan lifted his feet and fell down again, neither light nor heavy, nor even a footprint was left on the ground, but the entire inn seemed to shake, and a huge aura spread around with him as the center.

The tall old man's face changed and he showed a bit of solemnity: "Some skills, no wonder he has such a big tone."

Li Xuandu said, "I have already said that I can let you go after you report your name."

The tall old man smiled and said in a stern tone: "I can sign up for the title, but who lets go of whom? It's better to say that. It's great. My surname is Ma, and I work as a servant in the Imperial Horse Prison. This time I'm ordered to go. Beijing, there is a saint in my body."

Li Xuandu said, "Imperial Horse Supervisor, are you the Imperial Horse Supervisor in charge of the seal? The Si Li is now the first in the twelve prisons, and his chief and the chief minister are in the secret. Although the Imperial Horse Supervisor is the last one, the Imperial Stable Military talismans and other items are related to the Ministry of War. If the internal officials are engaged in military positions, they will change the rank of the imperial horse to be released, such as the governor and the Sima Zhongcheng. The Sili Supervisor approved the cabinet tickets on behalf of the emperor, and the secret of the cabinet's handling of the cabinet, which is actually 'Inner Prime Minister'. The Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Ministry of War and the Governor, held the military positions and directly commanded the Longxiang Guard and the Huxiang Guard, which was actually the "Shufu" of the inner court. In addition, the Imperial Horse Supervisor also had to manage the grassland and the imperial village , operate the imperial shop, manage part of the financial management, and serve as the steward of the inner court. When the Qingluanwei Governor's Office had not been established, the Qingyi Division was also under the Imperial Horse Supervisor's Admiral, and competed with the Yiluan Division, the Admiral of the Li Supervisor. Until Yingzong During the Emperor's reign, the Imperial Horses and Horses were involved in rebellion, and then they began to deprive the authority of the Imperial Horses and Horses, making the Imperial Horses and Horses and Horses no longer the momentum of the Imperial Horses and Horses, and now it is even more difficult to compare with the Imperial Court."

The tall old man's eyes were gloomy: "You know a lot about the affairs of the inner court. I am the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor."

From beginning to end, the old man did not use the word "our family", and his voice was even more sharp. Instead, he was thick and powerful, full of energy, and could not tell that he was a castrator at all.

Li Xuandu nodded: "I have heard that there are four masters in the inner court. The Sili Supervisor is in charge of printing Eunuch Yang, the Sili Supervisor is in charge of printing Eunuch Liu, the Imperial Horse Supervisor is in charge of printing Eunuch Horse, and a military battle is in charge of printing stones. My father-in-law, both are masters of the inner circle and will not leave the palace at any time. I didn’t expect to see Eunuch Ma of the four here today. It was really a bit...surprise."

The court is divided into internal and external divisions. The external court has a cabinet, a governor's office of the Five Army, a nine minister, an inspection office, etc. The inner court has twelve supervisors, four departments, and eight bureaus, collectively known as the twenty-four yamen. According to the law, there are only these two. Only eunuchs in the 14th yamen can be called eunuchs, with left and right jails. In addition, several pens in the Sili Prison, as well as eunuchs guarding the Weaving Bureau, Maritime Bureau and local eunuchs can be called Eunuch.

The Sili Superintendent commanded the inner court and was equal to the outer court cabinet; the Imperial Horse Superintendent commanded the imperial guards, equal to the five armed commanders of the outer court. Nowadays, both the inner and outer courts are in a situation where civil and military are strong. As for the military battle, they are specifically responsible for various treasures, weapons, armor, etc., which almost cover the treasures of the Great Wei royal family for nearly two hundred years, so the military battle is in charge of the sealing power. The position is not high, but it is very important.

Of course, these are just four great masters on the surface. As for whether there are still masters hidden in other inner courts, only the Great Wei royal family itself knows. After all, it is the foundation of the Tian family and cannot be underestimated.

The tall old man's eyelids twitched slightly, and there was an invisible gully between the rivers and lakes and the temples, which made the two not connected. The statement "the four masters of the inner court" is not a secret, but not everyone can know it. At least it takes a while to practice in the public sect before you can hear it. Seeing this person wearing the official uniform of Qingluan Guard, could this person be a hidden master hidden in Qingluan Guard?

Eunuch Ma glanced at the young prince who was tied up tightly and slowly spoke, "This prince is the youngest son of His Highness, the prince. Since you are so familiar with the court, you should know what his prince is like. "" "

Li Xuandu's face looked a little solemn.

If we don’t talk about those princes who are like being kept in captivity, there are three princes who can really speak in the court, namely King Jin, King Tang, and King Yan. King Jin and King Tang are of the same generation, especially King Jin. The youngest. When Empress Dowager Xie Zhi took down the four ministers Gu Ming, he was only twenty-seven years old. The King of Jin who assisted Empress Dowager Xie Zhi was just thirty years old. It was the second year of Tianbao, and now it is the seventh year of Tianbao. From this calculation, the King of Jin is only thirty-five years old now. But King Yan is now in his seventies. Not only is he twice as old as King Jin, but his seniority is also one generation higher. However, these are not the reasons why Li Xuan pays attention to it. What Li Xuan cares about is the relationship between the King of Yan and the King of Qi.

The King of Qi is Mr. Xu, and he is also a local master Xu Wugui. When Xie Zhi entered the palace, there was a shadow of the King of Yan.

As for the youngest son of the King of Yan, Li Xuandu also heard that when he was in the imperial capital, the King of Yan was getting stronger, so he got a son when he was old, saying that he was a son. In terms of age, he was almost the same as his grandson, so he was inevitably arrogant, so he was so arrogant. His Highness is famous for being domineering in the imperial capital and has caused many major disasters, but they are all covered by the King of Yan one by one. However, Zhang Suqing was at the peak of his life back then. No matter how arrogant the prince of Yan was, he did not dare to offend Zhang Baigui and Zhang Baiyue's brother and sister, so Li Xuan had never seen him.

Li Xuandu thought to himself: "The imperial horse supervisor has been sealed from the capital, and he has an imperial edict. How could he bring such a playboy who is not enough to make trouble? Even if the court is extremely corrupt, Xie Zhi, King Jin and others will not be The state affairs are so funny. Unless this person represents the King of Yan, and the King of Yan has a close relationship with the King of Qi, is it possible that the Imperial Horse Supervisor and others will be related to the Earth Master this time? Or is it related to the Northwest? "

If this guess is true, then Li Xuan can conclude that this is a situation set by the palace officials, because the palace officials are sure that Li Xuan will be interested in the affairs of the temple, and it can also indirectly explain that the palace officials do not want Eunuch Ma and others to be able to The journey was successful and wanted to use Li Xuandu's hand to disrupt Xie Zhi's plan.

Although he knew it was the plan of the woman's palace official, Li Xuan still had to admit that he was indeed becoming more and more interested. A big eunuch, a prince of Yan, the one with a knife standing beside Eunuch Ma, was the one with a knife standing next to Eunuch Ma. I think people are not ordinary people. What do you mean by such a group of people passing by Ping'an County? The answer is not difficult to guess. Ping'an County is the junction of Luzhou and Jingzhou. After passing Ping'an County, it is naturally within Jingzhou. Could it be that he went to Jiangling Prefecture to meet Zhao Lianggeng?
