Princess Mansion.

backyard.

Hu Fei, who heard the noise, turned around and saw a figure shrouded in black robes appearing under the night sky. It was Xiao An.

"Did you find anything?"

Hu Fei looked at Xiao An, asked casually, walked slowly to the pond, and watched the fish in the water swimming under the moonlight.

"Han Jiang was summoned into the palace today, which may be related to your intention to establish a royal guard."

Han Jiang whispered.

Hearing Xiao An's words, Hu Fei's eyes lit up, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had already made a decision.

"You have been following me all this time, how did you know this news?"

"Are you not by my side all the time? In other words, you are not alone, but you have many subordinates working for you?"

Hu Fei smiled, turned to look at Xiao An, and asked lightly.

To be honest, until now, he doesn't know the specific origin of Xiao An.

"You will naturally know about this issue when the time comes, but not now."

"You just need to know that my loyalty to Prime Minister Hu is stronger than you ever thought."

Xiao An hesitated for a moment and answered seriously.

"But I need to make sure when you are here and when you are not. After all, I have offended Chunqiu Hall and may be killed at any time."

Hu Fei raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I will be there any time you need me."

"A mere Chunqiu Hall can't do anything to you."

Xiao An said without hesitation, as if in his eyes, Chunqiu Hall was not at all in his heart.

Hearing Xiao An's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but frown, because everyone was extremely afraid of Chunqiu Hall, but Xiao An sneered.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and Princess Anqing suddenly appeared and walked slowly towards the pond.

Hu Fei turned his head and took a look, unable to help but be stunned for a moment, but when he looked back again, he found that Xiao An had disappeared.

Come and go without a trace.

"What are you doing here alone? It's getting late, it's time to rest."

Princess Anqing slowly came to Hu Fei's side and said softly.

"good."

Hu Fei smiled, agreed gently, and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.

But in his heart, he was thinking about Xiao An, wondering what kind of person Xiao An was.

After stopping for a long time, Hu Fei turned around, left hand in hand with Princess Anqing, and disappeared into the night.

...

Early the next morning.

Hu Fei was woken up by Princess Anqing while he was still sleeping. Because someone came to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned him into the palace.

So Hu Fei got up immediately, washed briefly, and rushed to the palace.

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Jiu'an has arrived."

Pang Yuhai walked in quickly, saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, and said respectfully.

"Please!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said hurriedly.

Soon, Hu Fei, accompanied by Pang Yuhai, slowly walked into the main hall.

As soon as he walked in, he found that besides Zhu Yuanzhang, there was another person in the hall.

Han Jiang.

"My son, please see your father!"

Hu Fei remained calm, bowed respectfully, and said loudly.

"Get flat."

"Come quickly, come to me."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said with a smile, seemingly in a good mood.

After Hu Fei thanked him, he slowly stood up and came to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father seems to be in a good mood today."

Hu Fei smiled and said.

"Well, can you see it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and asked with a smile.

Hu Fei smiled and nodded without saying anything.

"Do you know why I summoned you to the palace today?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and continued to ask.

"My son, I don't know, so I ask my father to make it clear."

Hu Fei cupped his hands and said modestly.

"I have decided to agree to your proposal, abolish the inspection school, and establish the Jinyiwei!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, took a breath, and said loudly.

After hearing this, Hu Fei pretended to be very surprised and looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.

"Is what Father said true?"

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise and asked.

"How can it be fake?!"

"Hu Fei accepts the order!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, then puffed out his chest and said loudly.

When Hu Fei heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground respectfully.

"From today on, you are the commander of the Imperial Guard. From now on, you must do your best to serve the imperial court!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and said in a deep voice.

"My son, I obey!"

Hu Fei bowed his hands and said respectfully.

"Get up."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction and said slowly.

Hu Fei nodded and stood up.

He guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely agree in the end, but when it all happened, he was still a little excited in his heart.

"After careful consideration, I feel that you are right. The reputation of the school has never been very good. Perhaps it is time to abandon it."

"Moreover, since you are willing to serve the imperial court, I should give you a chance. Since you came up with the idea of ​​the Jinyiwei, from now on, the position of commander of the Jinyiwei must be yours!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and said approvingly.

"My father is wise, and I will definitely not betray my father's trust!"

Hu Fei raised his hands and said excitedly.

"So good!"

"However, although the inspection school is going to be abolished, the people in the inspection school cannot have nowhere to put them. Since Jinyiwei has just been built, it is better to merge the people in the inspection school into Jinyiwei."

"From now on, Han Jiang will serve as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards and assist you. What do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and asked slowly.

"I have seen you in this humble position, Lord Commander!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Han Jiang on the side bowed respectfully to Hu Fei.

"Since it is the arrangement of the father, the sons and ministers should abide by it. However, since the inspection school has been abolished for some reason, it should be purged. It is not impossible to merge into the Jinyi Guard, but it needs to be strictly screened. Those who are not qualified must be abolished and allowed to make a living on their own.
