Chapter 23 Guards

Emperor Yong gave her an enigmatic look and said, "I have placed him in the palace."

Shu Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Uncle, you don't know how miserable he is. His brother beat him half to death. If I hadn't saved him, he wouldn't even know what he would be like now! I'll return tomorrow

You have to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at him... By the way, uncle, he is very good at painting, do you think you can give him a job?"

The little princess blinked her almond-shaped eyes slyly and acted coquettishly with a soft and sweet voice, which was really hard to resist. Emperor Yong knew her so well that he shaved the bridge of her nose and said calmly: "I will arrange this. It's not early, Yao Yao

Go back and rest."

Shu Yao suddenly felt bored, "Oh."

If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. Why are you so critical?

My uncle is also true.

After calling his maid to escort Shu Yao back to the palace, Emperor Yong went to a wing.

The handsome young man had already put on a black robe, with his dark hair tied high, and he saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Your Majesty."

It has been twenty years since Emperor Yong inherited the throne at the age of eighteen. He has a gentle temperament. Although he looks like a generous elder in front of Shu Yao, he is also an emperor who has been in a high position for a long time.

Li Mingji naturally knew what kind of revenge and ambition lay beneath such a gentle appearance.

After Yong Taizu founded the country, he greatly rewarded the founding achievements of the country. Most of them were nobles from the previous dynasty families and controlled the lifeline of the Yong Dynasty. The Xie family was a typical example. Since Emperor Yong came to the throne, he has always kept a low profile, but he always wanted to suppress the aristocratic families and change this.

A status quo.

Soon after, Emperor Yong would carry out drastic reforms that would shake the foundation of the family. The rebels took advantage of the civil strife in the Yong Dynasty to invade the capital.

In the previous life, when the capital fell, Emperor Yong was imprisoned in the palace by the rebels for three full years and suffered humiliation. The rebel leader Xiao Sui did not kill Emperor Yong, but asked him to look at his wives, concubines and children, and how his subjects and people were in dire straits. In this way

The humiliation is far worse than the physical torture.

Even so, Emperor Yong remained calm and collected troops in just three years. Taking advantage of the internal strife between him and Xiao Sui, he quickly sent out troops to surround the palace and regain power.

At that time, Shu Yao passed away, and Li Mingji had no nostalgia for the world. He killed Xiao Sui with his own hands, dismissed the soldiers, and hanged himself with Shu Yao's body. It is expected that after his death, the hidden dangers were eliminated, and Emperor Yong should have become a wise king.

.

When I opened my eyes again, I returned to Xing'an for eight years. This year Shu Yao was fifteen years old and I didn't know him. Everything had just begun.

The memory of his previous life briefly flashed through his mind. While Li Mingji was recalling it, Emperor Yong was also observing him.

Li Mingji, the concubine of Li Jin, the Minister of Rites, has a mediocre status and a very ordinary resume. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have been associated with the young man in front of him.

His eyes did not have the innocence of others of his age, but a calmness and composure that did not suit his age. Emperor Yong could not help but feel a little curious.

After all, not everyone has the courage to lead people into the villa where the emperor lives.

"You helped Yaoyao spread the word, and you should be rewarded. Yaoyao said that you have a difficult life, but you are good at painting, and you want me to arrange an official position for you in the palace." Emperor Yong smiled lightly and said, "Do you have a place you want to go to?"

?”

Li Mingji knelt on one knee, lowered his eyes and said, "Secretary of the Palace."

The Palace Front Division is the title of the Imperial Guards, and is the collective name for the emperor's personal guards. Zhang Sheng, the chamberlain around Emperor Yong, is not only Emperor Yong's confidant, but also the commander of the Palace Front Division, in charge of the Palace Imperial Guards.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shun, who was originally meek and with low eyes, raised his eyes and narrowed his eyes to examine the strange young man in front of him.

Emperor Yong was also very surprised. He put his hands on his hands and said with a smile, "Do you know where the front secretary of the palace is? How can you, a weak scholar, endure such hardship?"

"The Cao Min was raised in the mountains for the past twelve years, and he has hunted with the villagers since he was a child. After returning to the Li Mansion, he did not give up his hard training," Li Mingji said in a steady voice, "Because of this, the Cao Min is willing to become a guard in front of the palace and be loyal.

Your Majesty, the princess, please grant your permission."

Emperor Yong's voice was a little more teasing: "Loyalty to me is false, but loyalty to the princess is true, right?"

"Your Majesty and the princess are one family," Li Mingji raised her chin slightly, her tone unchanged, "When it comes to selfishness, the princess is the savior of the common people, and the common people are willing to go through fire and water for the princess and protect each other with their lives."

Time passed slowly, and Emperor Yong's steady gaze fell on Li Mingji, with penetrating power that could penetrate people's hearts.

After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "I will allow you to enter the front office of the palace. Ming Ji, get up. You can rest here for a while. Zhang Sheng will take him to the front office of the palace to report tomorrow."

Zhang Sheng whispered: "I obey the order."

Li Mingji cupped his hands and said, "Mingji thanks Your Majesty for your grace."

He squinted his eyes lightly without leaving any trace, and lightly glanced at Zhang Sheng.

In the previous life, it was this man who tied Jiao Jiao to the city wall. Although he personally beheaded the man, he was still a little curious.

Unlike now, when he deliberately created opportunities, he had met Jiao Jiao very late in his previous life, and he didn't know the palace past events of the Yong Dynasty. Zhang Sheng was a confidant cultivated by Emperor Yong, so why did he betray him?

However, since he has entered the palace, he will naturally not let the accident in his previous life happen again.

…

In the Qian Palace, the palace maids served Emperor Yong to undress him, and Zhang Sheng followed behind Emperor Yong. He hesitated to speak several times.

"It's rare for me to see you like this," Emperor Yong waved his hand to dismiss the palace maid, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, do you have something to say to me?"

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth, "With all due respect, did your Majesty treat Li Mingji too favorably?"

Emperor Yong said: "I have my own plan."

"minister……"

"I know your worries, don't worry, I won't arbitrarily place people with unknown futures around you," Emperor Yong smiled, "There is no need to persuade me anymore."

Zhang Sheng could only say good things.

How could he not guess what Emperor Yong wanted? The Palace Secretary was just a cover. The real reason was that Li Mingji had a beautiful body and was very popular with Princess Huaxi. For Princess Huaxi, no matter how dangerous it was,

Emperor Yong will also stay.

The young girl is in love and just likes a beautiful husband. Why does Your Majesty also accompany her to fool around? It is simply lawless!

For the sake of Princess Huaxi, Your Majesty has repeatedly ignored the ancestral etiquette. If this scourge is not eliminated, Dayong will surely be in turmoil!

Zhang Sheng left with complicated emotions, while Emperor Yong stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes reserved.

Letting Xie Yanzhou be the prince's companion was just a way to hide his identity from others. Since Emperor Yong did not let Xie Yanzhou be engaged to Shu Yao, he was not prepared to marry Shu Yao to him.

This young man named Li Mingji was like a gray wolf dormant in the dark, ambitious, but it was precisely because his purpose was straightforward and pure that Emperor Yong became interested in him.

Li Mingxuan's incident sounded the alarm for Emperor Yong. He was about to take a desperate risk, but he could not put Shu Yao in danger. Instead of placing Shu Yao in the Qinyang Hou Mansion where he could not protect her, it was better to cultivate a loyal and loyal person for her.

bodyguards to protect her.
