October 26, the seventeenth year of Deqing's reign in Da Chu.

The weather in Kyoto has obviously cooled down. The carriages in various mansions have been wrapped with warm brocade, and stoves have begun to be installed in the carriages. As for the various mansions and courtyards, winter decorations have already begun.

The masters, wives, young masters and ladies all began to wear warm robes of fur and brocade, and the charcoal fire in the house was also lit.

The Prince Consort's Mansion naturally followed the rules of the nobility, and everyone in the mansion began to buy winter clothes. Xue Poye didn't have to worry about it at all. Princess Yi carefully bought a lot of fur clothes for Xue Poye and the others.

Although the weather is cold, Princess Yi has no time to rest. Xue Poye knows that this cold day is easier to train people's will, and it is also easier to practice archery standards that cannot be achieved on ordinary days, so he personally takes Princess Yi to the school grounds.

Archery practice, this activity is actually a lot warmer.

This was supposed to be a normal day, and Xue Poye was not prepared for anything big to happen.

At noon, when I was about to eat my meal, I saw a young boy rushing to the school grounds and shouted loudly: "Princess, Master Xue, hurry up and receive the order!"

Princess Yi seemed to be used to receiving orders, and didn't have any special expression. On the contrary, Xue Poye had always seen on TV the scene of the imperial ministers receiving orders, and she never expected to experience it in person today.

Of course, he knew in his heart that if the Prince Consort's Palace accepted the order, it had nothing to do with him.

According to the rules of Da Chu, when a decree is passed down from the palace, all the young and old men in the entire mansion must welcome him with great grandeur, and they must burn incense and set up an altar, which is no less grand than worshiping ancestors.

Fortunately, the Prince Consort's Mansion is a place where orders are often received, and preparations are made quickly. By the time Xue Poye and Princess Yi arrived at the compound, the ground was already dark and full of people kneeling. Next to the incense table at the front, there was a handsome and elegant man.

The prince-in-law was respectfully talking to the deacons and eunuchs in the palace, looking very happy and happy.

Xue Poye saw Green Lady and Xiao Shitou also mixed in the crowd, walked over quietly, and knelt down beside them. Princess Yi naturally walked quickly to the consort, and followed the consort in front to meet them.

purpose.

Fortunately, the courtyard is large, otherwise the servants, guards, maids, etc. of the Prince Consort's Mansion would total about two hundred people. Without such a big place, it would really be impossible to squeeze them in.

Xue Poye even suspected that those princes, nobles and wealthy families built large courtyards just to welcome the imperial edict.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

The deacon and eunuch screamed, and the prince consort led a large group of his servants to prostrate themselves on the ground and loudly said: "Your Majesty, Yi Chenyuan, leads everyone to meet the decree!"

Xue Poye heard it from behind and thought to himself: "It turns out that the consort is called Yi Chenyuan, and this name is quite weird." The first time he received an order, he blended in with the crowd and bowed down.

Frowning tightly, it was obvious that this young lady did not want to bow to the emperor in her heart. This was just helplessness.

The deacon eunuch cleared his throat, then slowly opened the golden imperial edict and said loudly: "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict says: The late emperor was brave and virtuous, and protected the foundation of our country. He established a feather forest and a palace wall to bless the world. Thank you for your kindness."

Lu Wanmin. Ding Yi, the former deputy general guard of Yulin, died for some reason. Yulin Wei is lacking. Now I have found the Xue family stone. He is brave, intelligent, and loyal. He is the pillar of the country and the blessing of the country. Special award.

Instruct Xue Shitou to supplement the post of Deputy Chief Guard of Yulin, and dedicate himself to serving the country. I appreciate this!"

The eunuch closed the imperial edict leisurely and said loudly: "Where is Xue Shitou? Why don't you come over to receive the edict?"

Xue Poye was lying on the ground looking at the plump butt of a maid with a big butt and plump figure in front of her. Her butt was tightly wrapped in her small colorful pants, and the piece of cloth seemed to be stretched open by her plump butt. The shape of her beautiful butt was beautiful.

, full of elasticity, and was visually checking whether the two buttocks were of the same size, but did not listen to the content of the imperial edict said by the deacon and eunuch. Suddenly, he heard "Xue Shitou" being called, and Xue Poye wondered in his heart: "This is not calling me.

"?" He raised his head and looked towards the deacon and eunuch, and saw that the eunuch was looking around, looking for someone.

The green lady heard the content of the imperial edict clearly, but she also felt that she had heard it wrong. The content of the edict was obviously to promote Xue Poye as the deputy chief guard of the Yulin camp. If this edict was true, then

This is obviously a fantasy.

Xue Poye only has the qualifications of a student, which can be said to be only one level higher than ordinary people. The position of Deputy Chief Guard of the Yulin Camp in Kyoto, although it is a low-level official position in Kyoto, is still a huge fat vacancy.

Even more powerful than those high-ranking official positions.

The Habayashi Camp is the Royal Guards, a first-class elite, with one chief guard and three deputy chief guards, which are three teams. They are responsible for the safety of the royal family. Its importance is self-evident.

Although the Deputy Chief Guard is lower than the Chief Guard, many people flock to him, and those ambitious nobles try their best to get their people to enter the Yulin Camp.

Everyone understands the mystery and the importance of Yulin Camp.

No one would have known that this good job would fall to Xue Shitou, who was thousands of miles away from the matter and couldn't be hit with a stick.

Although the prince-in-law Yi Chenyuan was also extremely shocked by this appointment, he was not an ordinary person after all. He kept calm and said loudly: "Xue Shitou, why don't you hurry up and come here to receive the order."

Only then did Xue Poye really realize that he was being called. He immediately stood up, put aside his fat butt, walked out quickly, ran to the deacon and eunuch and knelt down. According to the scene on TV, he raised his hands and said: "Caomin, take over."

purpose!"

The deacon and eunuch looked at Xue Poye, glanced at the prince-in-law, and saw the prince-in-law nodded slightly, then handed the imperial decree into Xue Poye's hands, and said with a smile: "Deputy General Guard Xue, we are here to give it to you

Congratulations! What a joy!"

Xue Poye's head was in a daze, and he was confused in surprise. He couldn't figure out what happened. How did he become the deputy chief guard of the Yulin camp in such a muddle-headed way?

Isn't this a dream?

The deacon and eunuch waved their hands, and several young eunuchs immediately came out from behind, each holding a large brown wooden plate with something on it.

"This is the golden shrine chainmail given by the Holy One, as well as the military talisman token of the deputy general guard of the Yulin Camp. Please accept it, Mr.

, I’ll ask you to go as an errand tomorrow.”

Xue Poye stood up, handed the imperial edict in his hand to the boy beside him, looked at the deacon and eunuch, and said with some confusion: "I...I am the deputy chief guard of Yulin Camp?"

The deacon and eunuch smiled and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Xue, congratulations to Mr. Xue. Your Majesty's grace is so great. Mr. Xue has a bright future."

Xue Poye looked behind the deacon and eunuch and saw that in the big brown wooden plate held by the young eunuch, there were golden armor, silver boots, silver gloves, and a golden helmet. There was actually a ram's horn type on the helmet.

Dingzi.

There was a eunuch in the middle. The thing in the wooden plate was very small. It was just a green token. It was crystal clear and green. Xue Poye went up to take a look and saw seven small characters engraved on it.

There are three characters "Yulin Ying" horizontally on the top, and four characters "Deputy Chief Guard Talisman" vertically below.

The Prince Consort stepped forward gracefully and said with a smile: "Master Xue... No, Master Xue, congratulations to you."

Xue Poye frowned, looked at the beautiful Prince Consort, shook his head, and said softly: "Consort, help me ask this father-in-law if he has made a mistake. This... this is impossible!"

Although the prince-in-law was surprised, he had long been accustomed to seeing the political situation in Kyoto. It was a real change, so wonderful that no one could see through it. Although this "Xue Shitou" was appointed as the deputy chief guard of the Yulin Camp, it was indeed

It's a bit unbelievable, but what exactly are those nobles doing behind the scenes? This is something that no one can guess or dare to guess. Maybe "Xue Shitou" serving as the deputy chief guard of Yulin Camp is just a part of the conspiracy of the people in the palace.

Of course, the Prince Consort would not get involved, and said with a smile: "Since the Holy One has passed down the message, there is always the Holy One's intention. The power of God is unpredictable. Just accept the decree, take care of it, and go to take office tomorrow.

"

Xue Poye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When he saw the deacon and eunuch looking at him with a smile, he understood what was going on. He walked over and quietly put the banknote into the deacon and eunuch's hand, and the deacon and eunuch also skillfully guessed it.

He walked into his arms and said with a smile: "Master Xue, the decree has been received, and our family will return to the palace to resume their lives."

Xue Poye said hurriedly: "I'll see my father-in-law off!"

The deacon and eunuch bowed to the Prince Consort again before leading everyone out, and Xue Poye saw him off.

In addition to the door of the palace, the deacon and eunuch looked around, suddenly took Xue Poye's hand, walked to the side, and laughed in a low voice: "Master Xue, do you know who recommended you for this position?"

Xue Poye immediately held up his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, father-in-law!"

The deacon and eunuch whispered in his ear: "It's the fourth prince!"

Xue Poye was shocked. In his opinion, the person who could recommend him to take such an important position, from a raw soldier with no official status to become the deputy chief guard of the Yulin Camp, must be an extraordinary person.

The second prince Liu Ziyin was naturally the one to bear the brunt. He wanted to use himself as a tool to win over the eldest princess, and he wanted to use himself to do things for him. He would show his sincerity no matter what, and the official position of the deputy chief guard of the Yulin Camp was enough.

express his sincerity.

Or maybe it was Tan Ziqing. The old guy had vaguely revealed something to him that night. He also knew that he would receive an imperial edict in the near future. The reason was that Xue Poye didn't take it to heart. He suddenly received such an edict today. Could it be that the old man

This guy is recommending from behind? This is the most likely possibility. Tan Ziqing is the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and a confidant of His Majesty the Emperor. He wants to speak for himself, which is very influential.

Xue Poye even thought of the eldest princess. If the eldest princess wanted to become a member of the Yulin Camp, it would be very simple. I'm afraid it would only be a matter of one sentence.

There are even others, those guys hiding in the dark, such as the guy I met in Wazunuma...!

But no matter how hard he calculated, there was no way he could guess that it was the Fourth Prince Liu Zifu!

This is as ridiculous as Guan Gong fighting Qin Opera, and as incredible as the close relationship between Palestine and Israel.

But Xue Poye knew that this thing was not funny at all, nor was it unbelievable without any reason. Prince Fu must have a deep purpose for doing this.

Prince Fu is most likely using this to please Xue Poye and let Xue Poye belong to his lineage. In this way, even if the eldest princess will not support him, she will not support Prince Fu either.

Before this imperial edict was issued, there had naturally been debates in the court. No one would be willing to let a person with no background and no affiliation to any faction take such an important position.

The group of Prince Fu who proposed this idea naturally had nothing to say. Since the master has spoken, it is natural that the master has his intention.

But officials from other factions, big and small, would not allow such things to happen.

You are one of the three major royal families of the Chu Kingdom. When the other two major families have not expressed their opinions, Liu Guogong was the first to question the matter. Xue Shitou has neither great achievements nor resume.

After one battle, he was rashly promoted to the deputy chief guard of the Yulin Camp to avoid being too inappropriate.

The Yulin Camp is the Royal Guards, the emperor's personal bodyguard. Not only must they be smart and enforce orders and prohibitions, but they must also have a loyal and sincere heart. Can Xue Shitou achieve this?

Naturally, the princelings also greatly supported it.

For the princelings, the biggest regret is probably that the Yulin Camp, a super elite imperial guard in the imperial city, has never had the strength of the prince, and the prince has always focused on this, and has thought about it several times.

Arrange personnel in Yulin Camp, but Yulin Camp is impregnable and has the personal protection of His Majesty the Emperor. Unless His Majesty the Emperor waves his pen, it will be difficult to penetrate, and the courtiers all know that if they put in the effort, maybe it can really be done.

If one of his own people was mixed up in the Yulin Camp, but once the matter was exposed and His Majesty the Emperor knew about it, the consequences would be disastrous, so no one dared to take this risk and could only arrange for people to go in from the outside.

They have openly arranged for people to enter, and various factions have tried it, but His Majesty the Emperor has always maintained silence, so this extremely critical Yulin camp is as calm as clear water!

Even if Prince Fu's group came up with this idea, perhaps it was just a temptation.
