"Have you heard, today Your Majesty summoned a new guard, and talked with him for a while. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Although it has only been less than an hour or two, the news that Yang Zhen was summoned by the Son of Heaven and talked for a while has spread quickly among the guards.

And after hearing the news, some people's first reaction was disbelief. And after the reassurance of those who say this, jealousy inevitably arises in their hearts. It's no wonder, after all, if you are in the palace, if you can get the emperor's attention, your future will naturally be very good, who doesn't want this? And once you can't get it, but a new person can do it as soon as you come, you will naturally be jealous.

"Ahem......" Just as several guards were in one place and whispered about the matter, a low coughing sound came from not far away, causing their bodies to shake suddenly, and they quickly dispersed and stood up straight again.

The one who came was a middle-aged general with a dark face and a stern expression, and he was also the leader of this group of guards, named Xiao Ran. I saw that a cold glow suddenly shot out of his leopard eyes, and swept over everyone's faces, which made these guards, who were not shorter than him, tremble, and their heads lowered unconsciously.

This Xiao Ran's prestige among the guards is not inferior to that of the commander Xue Yan, so as long as he appears, the guards will be like a mouse seeing a cat, and they dare not relax in the slightest. After suppressing these people, Xiao Ran said coldly: "What kind of system is it that you are talking to each other here when you are on duty." After a while, he went to receive twenty military sticks as a punishment. If there is a recidivism, it will not be spared. ”

"Yes......" The guards agreed with grievances, this time it was really a disaster, and at the same time, they hated Yang Zhen even more in their hearts. If it weren't for his appearance that everyone forgot the situation for a while, how could he be punished like this?

After disposing of these unruly guards, Xiao Ran snorted slightly, and was about to go to other places to inspect. At this moment, a slightly feminine voice sounded from not far away: "Commander Xiao and go slowly!" When he heard this voice, the cold and rigid color on his face suddenly turned into a smile, he had been on an errand here for many years, so he could naturally hear the voice of the prince in front of His Majesty: "I don't know what the prince commands?" As he spoke, he turned around respectfully and saluted.

Wang Quan also arched his hand at him: "How dare our family order Commander Xiao?" We are here to tell you something at the behest of His Majesty. ”

As soon as he heard what the emperor meant, Xiao Ran's expression became more respectful, and he quickly bent his waist a little lower: "Listen to the holy will." ”

"That's right, a new guard has just been recruited in the palace. Your Majesty values him very much, so I hope that Commander Xiao can arrange him to be an errand in front of Your Majesty. Wang Quan was talking and observing the other party's expressions.

Sure enough, after Xiao Ran heard this, although he was patient, the twitching corners of his eyes still revealed the jealousy in his heart. And Wang Quan continued after hooking the corners of his mouth: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, so I also ask Commander Xiao to implement it as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, the minister will obey!" Xiao Ran agreed with a blank face.

"In this case, our family will go back." After nodding at him, the king turned and walked away. But I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, I only heard him muttering in a low voice: "I don't know what ability this person named Yang Zhen has to make His Majesty arrange it like this." In terms of ability and merit, which of them is not better than him? ”

These words fell into Xiao Ran's ears, making his face even more gloomy.

Just now, he punished those subordinates who were talking in private, and he also vented his dissatisfaction with Yang Zhen. And with Wang Quan's words, he became even more hostile to Yang Zhen. He has been on an errand in the palace for three or four years, and he has always done his best, but he has never received any appreciation from the Son of Heaven. He thought that this was the life of a guard, but he didn't want to be born such a Yang Zhen today, so that he understood that it was so simple for the Son of Heaven to attach importance to a person, how could he not be annoyed?

With some anger in his heart, Xiao Ran's feet were naturally a little faster. Today, half a quarter faster than ever, they turned back to a side hall that belonged to their station. At this time, as soon as the guards guarding there saw him arrive, they hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Commander, there is a new Yang Zhen waiting inside. ”

"Huh? Is it him again? As soon as he heard this name, Xiao Ran's brows couldn't help frowning. But since this was the emperor's intention, he didn't dare not do it, so he pushed the door and walked into the hall, and at the same time pondered in his heart how to give the other party a dismount, so as to vent his evil anger.

Yang Zhen, who was waiting in the hall, heard the sound, turned his head and saw a man with a serious face coming in, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Humble Yang Zhen has seen the general, is the general Commander Xiao?" ”

"Hmph, I can't afford the title of general, so you might as well call me the commander." Xiao Ran revealed his identity in such a way.

After Yang Zhen heard this, he was stunned. Perhaps at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the hierarchy was extremely strict, and the title of general could not be used indiscriminately. But in the current Wanli period, these rigid rules have long been in vain. Even an ordinary businessman is called a certain master, and it is natural for a commander to be called a general. Xue Yan, whom he called him so before, was quite happy on the other side, why did he change his appearance when he came to Xiao Ran?

Yang Zhen didn't know that he was already the public enemy of many guards, but it was just that this Xiao Commander was too rigid and serious. So he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Yes, I know my mistake in my humble position." Humble Yang Zhen, I have seen Commander Xiao. Humble and ordered to enter the palace, just waiting for the commander to arrange. ”

It's good that he doesn't mention his will or anything, but when he mentions it, it makes Xiao Ran's heart even more difficult to balance. I saw Commander Xiao snort coldly: "This commander knows that you are a popular figure in the capital recently, but since you have entered the palace, you have to act according to the rules of the palace, if you dare to act recklessly like before, be careful that the commander is ruthless!" ”

I didn't expect this meeting to be such an attitude, and Yang Zhen naturally became angry in his heart. He was worried that he would not be able to adapt to the rules of the palace, but this is good, the other party is really using this to pressure himself. But now, he is already under the roof, Yang Zhen had to bow his head and say: "I understand that I understand that I will follow the teachings of the commander in the future." ”

Xiao Ran spoke like this, of course, he had the intention of giving Yang Zhen a bad breath, but at the same time, he also wanted to provoke the other party, maybe this guy who was very restless outside turned his face on the spot. In this way, it is logical that he can rectify Yang Zhen well. But now that the other party has such an attitude, he can't use the means when he is ready, so he can only hum: "It's naturally the best if you can do it." At the same time, I secretly thought to myself, it seems that this young man is not simple, not an impulsive person who can be provoked by a few words.

The two talked a lot, but Xiao Ran still didn't mention how to arrange Yang Zhen's errand, so Yang Zhen asked the previous question tentatively again when the other party was groaning.

Xiao Ran could only say helplessly at this time: "The commander of Shicai has obtained the above meaning, and you will be arranged to be a guard by His Majesty's side." As he spoke, he turned his face again, and a pair of eyes pierced Yang Zhen's eyes like two knives: "In front of the Son of Heaven, the responsibility is heavier than that of ordinary palace guards, you have to be careful!" If there is any mistake, even if Your Majesty does not punish you, this commander will never spare you. ”

Through the other party's demeanor and language, Yang Zhen finally saw the reason why he had such a bad attitude towards him, everything was only on the word emperor. This made Yang Zhen smile bitterly in his heart: "Wanli Wanli, you promoted me out of kindness, but you must not have expected that your kindness would make me set up a lot of enemies, right?" "But the mouth is only true.

After understanding the root cause of the matter, the only thing Yang Zhen can do now is to honestly face the other party's targeting, otherwise in this isolated palace, even if there is the trust of the Son of Heaven, his situation will definitely not be too good.

Since he couldn't find Yang Zhen's fault for a while, Xiao Ran didn't plan to continue to let this guy stand out in front of him, so he waved his hand and said, "You can go." From tomorrow onwards, you will be on duty before Your Majesty. Remember, every day on the fourth watch, you must report here, and then go to the early dynasty with His Majesty! ”

"Yes!" Yang Zhen replied very simply, but there was a wail in his heart, he had to report for duty on the fourth watch, and it was every day, which was tantamount to torture for him.

Regardless of his previous life or present life, Yang Zhen's days of getting up so early are numbered, even in order to establish his prestige in front of his subordinates, he only let these people report at dawn. But now, it's nearly two hours earlier than the hour, and this is not a joke.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen couldn't help but wonder if Xiao Ran deliberately arranged to rectify himself out of jealousy towards himself. But looking at Xiao Ran's serious face, Yang Zhen dispelled this idea, even Commander Xiao was afraid and didn't dare to play tricks on people with this kind of thing, and if this thing was fake, as long as it could be debunked once, he wouldn't be able to fall for the second time at all.

After a slight hesitation, Yang Zhen respectfully hugged his fist to Xiao Ran again, and then he left the side hall.

"Judging by his performance, this person is also a bit of a Taoist. It seems that it will not be easy to deal with him, and I will have to think carefully before making a decision. After sending people away, Xiao Ran also fell into deep thought. When the jealousy at the beginning slowly faded, he also calmed down, no matter how he said it, he was also a veteran who had been in the palace for several years, and he knew the complexity and horror of the power struggle in the palace.

At this moment, Yang Zhen had already put Xiao Ran's bad attitude aside, and all he was thinking about was how to be a good errand next, and how not to make mistakes. Now it seems that entering the palace is really not suitable for him!
