The palace is still the same palace, and the people guarding the palace are still noble children, but now they are not as energetic as before. When Gao Shaoyi passed by the palace in the past, he would always look at the imperial guards standing guard, and he could tell from their bodies
He felt murderous, but what Gao Shaoyi felt at this moment was just some ordinary smells.
With the decline of the imperial court, the imperial guards no longer have the energy to work as before. In the past, it was very easy for imperial guards to be promoted. They only need to stay here for more than ten years and they can become a first-class imperial guard in no time.
Guards, if they are foreign officials, must at least be of the third rank to start, so many noble disciples are willing to become imperial guards, which is a very good choice for them.
But now it is no longer of that much use. The land controlled by the imperial court is getting smaller and smaller. Even if you stand guard here conscientiously, you may not be able to get your favorite official position in the end. According to some information they have received, the imperial court is currently actually
The area under control is not even a quarter of the entire empire. Although other areas are still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, your orders can be obeyed if they are willing to listen. If they are not willing to listen, it will be a piece of waste paper, so after they are done with it,
Do you think there are still good jobs waiting for them?
"In the important place of Meridian Gate, all officials dismount."
When Gao Shaoyi's motorcade approached the Meridian Gate, the commander of the Imperial Guards had the courage to say a word. To be honest, if it was not his duty, he would definitely let the palace gate at the back open and let Gao Shaoyi go in in the car.
But now he is still the head of the imperial guards, and his family has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations. If he neglects his duties at this time, not to mention how the people will judge him, the saliva of his colleagues around him will be enough to kill him, even if you want to
If you want to curry favor with Prince Pingnan, there is no need to forget about the rules of the palace. Then I am afraid that the entire imperial guard system will collapse. Even the steward will not care about this. Why should we ask for it?
The surrounding imperial guards were also extremely nervous. According to their thoughts, it was impossible for Gao Shaoyi to get out of the car and walk in. It was very likely that he would directly order the car to be driven in. If this was the case, their imperial guards would lose all face.
No more. Fortunately, Sun Qiang got out of the car, then walked to Gao Shaoyi's side and opened the door for Gao Shaoyi.
Based on what the emperor has done during this period, including organizing coalition forces and contacting ministers from various countries, Gao Shaoyi really wants to order his men to drive in directly, and then step on the imperial power under his feet to let them know
What is his situation? But being impatient can mess up big plans. Gao Shaoyi still has very important things to do now.
At present, the Suppression Army has not occupied all parts of the country, so you have to be patient where you should be patient. In the future big storm in the world, Gao Shaoyi must integrate all the regions of the Daqian Empire into one entity. No one can make any noise on this land.
There are other voices, so the imperial court must be retained. Even if he has become a puppet now, this puppet must continue to exist. What Gao Shaoyi wants to do is to evolve peacefully and minimize the losses to the entire empire.
"I have met the prince."
Although there are more than a dozen princes coming in and out every day, the imperial guards will not show any color to them. According to the regulations of the court, as long as these people are on duty, they do not need to salute anyone, even when the emperor comes in and out.
This is normal, but when Gao Shaoyi walked under the city gate, these people all saluted.
"reward…"
Gao Shaoyi just said something softly, and someone would naturally hand over the silver reward to them later. If it had been in the past, Gao Shaoyi would have had to meet with one of them in private, and then ask inside the palace
Since you want to come over now, there is nothing else to say. If you took my money in broad daylight, then you will be my people from now on.
If Gao Shaoyi wants to tightly control the court, whether it is a palace guard or an eunuch, he must win over the people he wants to bribe. Gao Shaoyi once extended an olive branch to Eunuch Liang, who is beside the emperor, but was rejected by Eunuch Liang.
Well, if that's the case, then we won't give you any chance. What should be replaced this time must be replaced. What are the disobedient people doing?
"Greetings to the prince."
Eunuch Liang is currently the number one eunuch in the palace. It was because he once refused Gao Shaoyi's bribe, so the emperor put him in this position. When Gao Shaoyi saw this guy, he felt a little uncomfortable in his eyes.
, the people I bribed in the past were all kicked out by the emperor, and some even lost their lives. I didn’t expect that this guy came to power at such a young age, but he also came to power against our will.
"Eunuch Liang has made rapid progress in the past two years. It turns out that some of the old faces in the palace have disappeared. He is in a high position at such a young age, which really puts us all to shame."
When Gao Shaoyi said this, Eunuch Liang felt a chill on his back, but at this moment he was representing the emperor, and Eunuch Liang didn't say much else. He just told Gao Shaoyi that the emperor was busy now, and hoped that Gao Shaoyi could wait a little longer.
"My time has already been planned, not to mention that it will take more than ten minutes to walk from here to Qinzheng Hall. Father-in-law, why not go first?"
Although Gao Shaoyi didn't finish what he said, everyone understood what he meant. It doesn't matter who is there with the emperor, but it must be dealt with within these ten minutes. When I walk to Qinzheng Hall, I don't care what kind of people are inside.
, My matter is the most important. I must see the emperor as soon as possible. If you continue to confuse me with such nonsense, then let's see if you have that kind of ability.
Gao Shaoyi's words were extremely rebellious. If the emperor's order had not been needed in the past, Eunuch Liang would have shouted boldly at the top of his voice, but at this moment he did not have the courage.
"Slave, go right away."
Eunuch Liang suppressed the anger in his heart. The current situation is stronger than others. Even if you are a person close to the emperor, there are some things you cannot do. You can do whatever you are told, otherwise you will bring trouble to the emperor.
What surprised Eunuch Liang the most was that something like this happened just now. The imperial guards on both sides of the road almost laughed out loud. Isn’t it because the emperor is embarrassed and you are embarrassed? What do you mean by this now?
