Chapter 8 Let me see your strength

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"Since none of you are willing to go back," Liu Chan suddenly said, "It seems that you think you are elites?"

"That's fine!"

"Then you just prove it to me."

"Let me see your strength!"

Liu Chan said while looking at the neatly lined up guards.

The soldiers who were seen by Liu Chan couldn't help but feel a little hairy. They didn't understand what kind of monster this emperor wanted to catch.

In their eyes, the emperor has been on the throne for two years and has spent most of his time in the harem.

What does he want to do now?

"Among you, I only want a hundred of you," Liu Chan said seriously: "What I want are elite soldiers and strong generals, not wine sacks and rice sacks."

"You!" Liu Chan suddenly stretched out his hand and asked the soldiers present: "Do you dare to accept my selection?"

After hearing this, the soldiers finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the stones hanging in their hearts also fell.

It took me a long time.

So the emperor wanted to choose personal soldiers?

This is a good thing.

It would feel pretty good if I could become his personal soldier.

At least the salary and rewards in the future will definitely be more generous than when they were in the Imperial Guard Camp.

After guessing what the emperor meant, the soldiers suddenly felt very good and almost replied in unison: "Your Majesty, we dare, we dare."

"Okay!" Liu Chan was very satisfied.

This is something he has been thinking about for a long time. He wants to select personal soldiers, a team that only takes orders from Liu Chan.

This team doesn’t need too many people.

One hundred people are enough.

"You will live here for the time being," Liu Chan then said: "In three days, your assessment will officially begin. The 100 people who pass the assessment will become my personal guards, and their salary will be the same as when you were in the imperial guard camp.

will be distributed three times."

Long live Your Majesty.

Long live Your Majesty.

The soldiers immediately became excited. This was more generous than they expected.

Triple salary.

Got rich.

After Liu Chan finished speaking, he left a young eunuch to arrange the soldiers, while he took another young eunuch and walked towards the palace.

As we approach the entrance to the harem.

"Fu'an!" Liu Chan said to the young eunuch Fu'an who was following him: "You leave the palace now and ask Zhuge Qiao to come into the palace to see me immediately."

"No!"

After the young eunuch Fu'an agreed, he went outside the palace to summon Zhuge Qiao, while Liu Chan walked towards the harem in a good mood.

In the harem——

Zhang Yuan saw Liu Chan coming in and seemed to be in a good mood, so he smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, what makes you so happy? Can you tell Zi Tong so that Zi Tong can be happy too?"

"Zitong, you are overthinking it!" Liu Chan said with a smile, "I am very happy just because I see you."

Nonsense.

Zhang Yuan knew that Liu Chan was trying to coax her, so he pouted and said, "Your Majesty sees Zi Tong every day. In the past, Zi Tong never saw His Majesty so happy."

"Really?" Liu Chan pretended to be confused and said, "Every time I see Zi Tong, I am very happy."

Liu Chan was trying to be mysterious, so Zhang Yuan stopped asking questions. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about it.

Liu Chan was like this when he was busy with rice cultivation. He did a very good job keeping the secret at the beginning, and Zhang Yuan didn't even see any flaws.

I just knew that the emperor and her younger brother Zhang Shao would sneak out of the palace every day.

As for what to do.

She doesn’t know.

Now that Liu Chan was like this, Zhang Yuan changed the subject, and the two chatted happily for a while.

Eunuch Fu'an came in from outside in a hurry.

Zhuge Qiao is here.

Liu Chan said goodbye to Zhang Yuan and met Zhuge Qiao in the imperial study.

In addition to being the adopted son of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Qiao actually has another identity: he is a good friend of Emperor Liu Chan.

At least in Liu Chan's heart.

He always regarded Zhuge Qiao as his friend.

"Bosong!" Liu Chan whispered: "I have an important matter that I want to leave to you."

Zhuge Qiao agreed without thinking: "I accept the order!"

There were many people in the Shu Han court who could handle this matter for Liu Chan, such as Huangmen Shilang Fei Yi.

But——

Relatively speaking, Zhuge Qiao is more leisurely.

Other court officials had to deal with government affairs, and Liu Chan didn't want to disturb them.

Compared with government affairs, these things about him are not that important.

Zhuge Qiao is different.

Although he is the Prince Consort, he is actually a sinecure, and he is very leisurely at ordinary times. Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has not arranged any special work for him for the time being.

If you want to talk about work.

That is to say, let him communicate more with the emperor. In Zhuge Liang's words: You are all still young now. You should study more and learn more skills, so that you will be able to contribute to the revival of the Han Dynasty in the future.

Liu Chan whispered a few words to Zhuge Qiao, and Zhuge Qiao was stunned for a while.

He even suspected that his ears were not good and he misheard the emperor's words.

"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Qiao asked: "Are you really going to do this?"

"Yes!" Liu Chan affirmed: "You just do what I want, and I will be responsible for anything that happens."

Although Zhuge Qiao felt that Liu Chan's tone was a bit excessive, the emperor's purpose was also to revive the Han Dynasty.

"No!" Zhuge Qiao bowed and said, "I will make arrangements now."

Zhuge Qiao is gone.

Liu Chan read in the imperial study for a while, and then went back to the harem.

The next morning.

Inside a house in Dongcheng, Chengdu.

"Say!"

"Then what did the little emperor ask you to do?"

A man in black robes sternly scolded the young man whose hands and feet were tied in front of him.

This young man is in his twenties.

He was a little confused by this sudden question. He didn't know who the man in black robe in front of him was.

Because he is wearing a black robe and even his face is wearing a strange mask, which makes him look a little oozing.

And his voice was a little deep, as if he spoke when his throat was broken.

"Who are you?"

"Why arrest me?"

The young man did not answer the man in black robe, but asked him about it, because he still didn't understand what was going on.

Yesterday afternoon they followed Emperor Liu Chan to a broken house behind the palace. In the evening, several eunuchs brought them food and wine. After they had eaten and drank enough, they stayed in the broken house.

I don’t know what happened, but when he woke up, he was tied here.

The food and wine given by the eunuchs last night?

Is it poisonous?

Wrong!

The young man quickly ruled out this possibility. First of all, there was no need for the emperor to poison them.

The emperor wants a person's life, which is a matter of just one sentence, so why go to such trouble.

And he still remembers.

After eating and drinking last night, everyone chatted for more than an hour.

If the food and wine were poisonous, they would have noticed it a long time ago. Until the end, they went back to their houses to rest and did not notice any physical discomfort.

But now.

How did I get here?

And he was tied up by these people.

Who are they?

The young man stared at the man in black robe in front of him and roared: "Who are you?"

"Why were you arrested?"

The man in black robe suddenly snapped, and the whip in his hand hit the young man.

The young man suddenly grimaced in pain.

"That's a lot of nonsense." The man in black robe sternly scolded: "If you don't want to die, just tell me that the little emperor asked you to go and what does he want you to do?"
