The establishment of the Dark Guard was silent. The brocade clothes traveled at night, which made Feng Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the secret guard, very unhappy, thinking that one day he would let this group of resolutely opposed ministers know that he knew how powerful he was.

The yamen of the secret guard is divided into two inside and outside, the inner yamen is located on the right side of the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace, it is a courtyard of the word "mouth" surrounded by more than ten houses, five main rooms are in front of the door, there are five side rooms on the left and right sides, and there are four huts for the guards on both sides of the gate. There are fruit trees planted on both sides of the corridor in the courtyard, the ground is paved with green bricks, there are stone tables on both sides of the corner, a few stone benches, and some flowers, grasses, melons and fruits are planted idly around it, which is very clean and quiet; The Outer Secret Guard Mansion is placed on the side of Anfu Gate, opposite to the north and south of Longwei Mansion on the side of Fanglin Gate, which means that people wonder.

In addition to the previous subordinates, with the permission of the Son of Heaven, fifty new eunuchs were selected to join the secret guard, and at the same time, two hundred good hands were selected among the palace guards to be guards and wrestlers.

Huang Xi is famous in the palace, and he is the hidden teacher of the second prince Shi Chongjie, who is deeply valued by Huang Niangniang, and the Son of Heaven often praises him. The eunuchs in the palace originally didn't read much, let alone those who read poetry and books, Feng Zhong chose Huang Xi as his helper and promised the position of secret guard and pacification.

The system of the dark guard is roughly the same as that of Long Wei, the capital is Feng Zhong, and the deputy capital is selected by the Son of Heaven, one is Jiang Anyi's wife Xinfei, and the other is Zou Tong, the general of Yifu Lang, this person is also over forty years old, and he is inconspicuous among the many generals of the Sixteen Guards.

Xin Fei was originally Long Wei's pacification, and she had made many meritorious deeds, if she hadn't married Jiang Anyi, she would probably be promoted to deputy capital, and there was nothing to check. Feng Zhong was taken aback after secretly investigating Zou Tong, it turned out that this duke was the record of the prince's left guard who led the government to join the army when the Son of Heaven was the crown prince, and there was no need to ask, this duke must be the same as Duan Cizong, he was the person in the bag of the Son of Heaven.

In addition to Huang Xi, there is also Feng Zhong's godson Feng Ning, and the suppression of the outer government is still directly arranged by the Son of Heaven, one is called Gu Jianping, and the other is called Song Yiyou, all of whom are officers in the Sixteen Guards.

The Son of Heaven of the Secret Guard is very vague, supervising the actions of the Dragon Guard and picking up the missing Dragon Guard. Feng Zhong, Feng Ning, and Huang Xi secretly discussed the intentions of the Son of Heaven together. Feng Ning wanted to be clever in front of his godfather, pressed Huang Xi's head, and said first: "This time Qingshan Water Village suppressed bandits, Long Wei made many mistakes, and even the worship was mixed in by the Yuantian Sect, long live the great disappointment of Long Wei, so I will let you form a secret guard." ”

Seeing Feng Zhong nodding, Feng Ning said more vigorously: "Monitor Long Wei's behavior, this shows that the Son of Heaven puts our secret guard above Long Wei and makes up for the missing of Long Wei, which means that we can also do what Long Wei can do, and we can also make up for the gaps if Long Wei can't do." Godfather, from now on, under your command, who dares not to bow his head. ”

Feng Zhong scolded with a smile: "As far as you kid is clever, this yamen has just gotten up, and he wants to shake his majesty, Xiao Ningzi, our family tells you that the Son of Heaven is very concerned about the secret guard, you can't break your godfather's face." ”

Feng Ning glanced at Huang Xi proudly and said with a smile: "Godfather, don't worry, my son knows it in his heart and will never make you embarrassed." ”

Feng Zhong turned to Huang Xi and said, "Huang Zhenfu, it is rumored in the palace that you are full of poetry and books, and you are resourceful, what do you think?" ”

"Don't dare", Huang Xi owes himself and says, "I think what Xiao Feng's father-in-law said is very reasonable. ”

Feng Zhong saw that Huang Xi was about to speak and stopped, and said with a smile on his face: "Huang Zhenfu, you and I don't have much friendship, but our family has heard of your reputation, don't worry about it, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, our family is not a stingy person." ”

Huang Xi thought secretly in his heart, who in the palace doesn't know that among the four eunuchs, Gonggong Liu is the most kind, Gonggong Tang loves money the most, and Gonggong Lu is the most low-key, this Gonggong Feng is the most powerful, as for the amount of energy, it is really hard to say. However, Huang Xi planned to share his opinions and plant an indispensable impression in Feng Zhong's heart.

"Duke, Gonggong Xiao Feng is right, long live we need the secret guard to see the dragon guard, but in the current situation, we must grasp the degree, otherwise it will backfire." Huang Xi said congratulously.

Feng Zhong leaned back quietly and said, "Let's talk about it in detail." Feng Ning pursed his lips, looking unhappy.

"Duke, the secret guard is just beginning, and it goes without saying that Banzai has high hopes, and my father-in-law must want to do a few big things to impress Banzai."

Feng Zhong nodded secretly, he was thinking exactly that.

"But has the governor ever thought that Long Wei's factory father is King Ning Chitose, if we take Long Wei Liwei, we will sweep King Ning's face." Huang Xi paused, and did not continue.

Feng Zhong frowned, he was full of joy to take up the position of the Secret Guard Capital, he really didn't think about it in detail, when it came to intimacy with the Son of Heaven, how dare Feng Zhong compare with King Ning, it would only be himself who would suffer if he offended King Ning in the end. On the side, Feng Ning shouted anxiously: "Then what should I do?" Maybe King Ning hates us now. ”

Huang Xi smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Ning has a lot, I know that the secret guard is ordered by the Son of Heaven, and I can't blame us, but our posture must be correct, when the Governor sees King Ning, he might as well lower his posture and explain, I think King Ning will definitely understand the Governor's painstaking efforts." ”

Feng Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, King Ning will enter the palace on the fifteenth day of every month, and our family will find an opportunity to explain to him." However, in this way, the secret guard will not do nothing, and Banzai will surely be angry. ”

"Duke, long live let the dark guard supervise the dragon guard and make up for the missing dragon guard, it is nothing more than because the dragon guard is not doing well. The biggest thing that Long Wei did was to pursue and suppress the Yuantian Sect bandits, his father-in-law was in charge of internal and external secrets, and the news was more well-informed than Long Wei, as long as we caught a few more Yuantian Sect bandits, long live the joy, and King Ning had nothing to say. If it is not peaceful today, if our secret guards can listen to more information about the Northern Desert and the Western Regions, it is also a matter of urgency, and then there is the matter of passing through the Qingshan Water Village, Banzai in various places attaches great importance to it, and if we can exterminate a few powerful bandits, Banzai will be happy. In this way, in contrast, the superiority of the dark guard and the dragon guard is naturally distinguished. ”

Feng Zhong nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Huang Zhenfu is worthy of being a genius, what he said is thought of with our family, let's discuss, what to do first?" ”

It has been discussed until the beginning of the unitary period, Huang Xi only came out of the secret guard and hurried to Shuning Palace, and in the evening, the second prince Shi Chongjie still had to listen to him talk about the affairs of the sages. Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs he met stopped and saluted him, and Huang Xi walked by expressionlessly, but his heart seemed to be burning with a fire.

Power, the ambition in his heart is burning like a fire, since he was a child, he made a will, to see the palace to be a famous minister in history, his father Zhang Hongchong spent many years of hard work to compile the "Calendar of Fortune Collection", originally thought that the middle move and the first easy as a hand, but unexpectedly met Jiang Anyi.

Huang Xi's eyes showed hatred and anger, the scene of his father's tragic death in prison often appeared in his dreams, in order to survive he entered the palace in humiliation, thinking that this life would die like mud, fortunately met Huang Shufei, met the second prince Shi Chongjie.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Xi hid his hatred in his heart again, to take revenge, the only way to take revenge is to hold the power in his hands, Gonggong Feng chose him as the secret guard to pacify, igniting the ambition hidden in his heart, and revenge became possible. Huang Xi knew that the time had not yet come, and only by trying his best to gain Feng Zhong's trust could he finally replace Feng Zhong and become the commander of the secret guard, and it was possible to stretch out his fangs of revenge to Jiang Anyi, and he would slowly tear Jiang Anyi to pieces, along with his family, friends, everything.

The Secret Guard's plan of action was quickly drawn up and handed over to the Outer Office for implementation. As the deputy commander, Xin Fei personally led people to Leizhou to clean up the mountain bandits, and of course, these mountain bandits were also branded as the Yuan Tianjiao. After Leizhou exterminated the mountain bandits, he went to Weizhou to arrest Shi Yunqiang, the head of the Yuantian Sect, and Xin Fei ran around without stopping.

At the end of October, I returned to the house bought by Jiang Anyi in the capital, and I was finally able to rest for a few days. There are more than ten letters on the table in the study, all of which were written by Jiang Anyi, Siyu looked at the way her senior sister read the letter diligently, and her heart was both envious and sad, I don't know how long it will take for my senior sister and Jiang Anyi to meet again.

Suddenly remembered Jiang Anyong, this kid doesn't know what he's doing now, why don't you write a letter to me, no one has written to me since I was a child, this Jiang barbarian is not like his brother at all. Siyu really wronged Jiang Anyong, Jiang Anyong lived in Anlong Temple to learn art with Master Hongxin, and always remembered Siyu when he was free, but he didn't know a few big characters, it was really difficult for him to pick up a pen and write for him, if he knew what Siyu was thinking, I don't know if Jiang Anyong would find Mr. Zhou to read and write seriously.

In the evening, Fan Shiben came to visit with his wife and children, and mentioned that he would go out of Beijing as an observer next year, and he would not be in Beijing for a year, and Tuo Xinfei would take care of his wife and children. Xin Fei naturally agreed, with her power, I am afraid that no one would dare to come to the door to tease the tiger's beard.

The secret guard captured four bandit leaders of the Yuantian Sect one after another, and exterminated three bandits, which was a remarkable achievement, Shi Fangzhen specially called Feng Zhong to the imperial study, praised him a few words, and asked him to make persistent efforts and give him a reward of two thousand taels. Feng Zhong naturally gathered his subordinates and encouraged him, but the silver had always been only in and out of his pocket, and Feng Zhong drew some cakes for everyone to be crowned with officials, and everyone was happy to hear it.

For Huang Xi, Feng Zhong looked at it differently, and it should be said that the current achievements of the secret guard are related to Huang Xi's planning. Huang Xi was very humble, attributed the credit to the Governor, and by the way, he offered some clever sycophants, which made Gonggong Feng like Huang Xi more and more, and when something happened, the first thing that came to mind was Huang Xi.

There is an undercurrent surging in the capital, and the selection of officials for next year's academic administration is being selected, and the news that this group of academic officials will be released has been confirmed. Some people are not in a hurry, but some people want to find a reason to stay, and the vacancies left by these people are targeted, for a time the officials of the Ministry of Officials are full of people, Pan Shangshu is as big as a fight, and the people who intercede with him come one after another, and when they can't see him, they launch Mrs. diplomacy, and even his wife is not at peace.

Compared with the chaos in the capital, Jiang Anyi's days in Fuluo County were idle, and the approval of the government hall to allow the trial implementation of "tax into one" has arrived, and Jiang Anyi is preparing to hold a gathering of villagers, village elders, and squires in Fuluo County on November 6, the day before the beginning of winter, and the location will be selected at the county school.
