Xue Po Yerong's appointment as the deputy chief guard of the Yulin Camp caused an uproar in Kyoto and shocked the court, but in the Prince Consort's Mansion, it seemed very ordinary.
The servants in the Prince Consort's Mansion don't seem to have much understanding of the position of Deputy Chief Guard, nor do they know the mystery behind this seat. Everyone is just curious about why Master Xue received the emperor's favor and was promoted in such a short period of time.
Entered the Yulin Camp, the most trusted place of the Emperor of Chu.
Perhaps most people in the Prince Consort's residence congratulated Xue Poye for assuming the post of deputy chief guard, but one person definitely didn't think so.
Xue Poye was recruited to the study by the consort within half an hour after receiving the order.
The study room is simple and elegant, there is no so-called sweaty room, and there are not many books stacked there. However, there are many paintings hanging on the walls, many of which are by Zhao Tianru, a famous Dachu artist.
The handsome Yi Chenyuan sat on the big sable wood chair behind the case, staring at Xue Poye, with a soft expression, and said calmly: "Master Xue, Yi'er's archery skills have improved greatly these days, it is really thanks to your guidance, I
Thank you here." He clapped his hands gently, and a strong domestic slave immediately came out from the side of the study, holding a tray covered with yellow silk. Judging from his appearance, it seemed a little difficult to hold it up.
Xue Poye frowned. Until now, his mind was still in chaos. Everything was like a fantasy dream. He just felt that the jade token was still in his arms, and everything was so real.
Yi Chenyuan stepped forward and opened the yellow silk. Xue Poye immediately felt the golden light dazzling his eyes. The originally dark study room was suddenly filled with golden light and was magnificent.
On the tray, there were actually gold bars.
Xue Poye frowned, then quickly said: "What does this mean, Prince Consort?"
Yi Chenyuan walked back to his seat slowly, pondered for a long time, then looked at Xue Poye and said slowly: "Master Xue should understand what I mean."
Xue Poye nodded and said calmly: "I probably understand a little bit."
"As long as you understand." Yi Chenyuan nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, you and I will avoid a lot of trouble."
Xue Poye stood up and stepped forward, bowed very respectfully, and said respectfully: "Thank you very much, Prince-in-law, for taking care of me these days. I am deeply grateful. Xue Shitou will definitely remember this kindness and virtue in his heart forever."
Yi Chenyuan sighed, waved his hand and said: "Go." After a pause, he said softly: "You should know that this is not only helping me, but also helping you. Only by breaking away from this line will you have a lot less trouble.
.”
Xue Poye said sternly: "I understand. I used to be a commoner, and my husband-in-law was very kind and righteous. He did not dislike me but took me in. Now I have become the deputy chief guard of Yulin Camp in a daze. If I continue to live in the prince-consort's mansion,
It will definitely cause too much trouble and even affect the eldest princess in the palace."
Yi Chenyuan showed a faint smile, cast his eyes on a landscape painting, and said softly: "Who doesn't love beautiful mountains and rivers?" He waved his hand: "Go, so you can cherish yourself!"
Xue Poye bowed formally, turned around and left the study without saying another word.
Walking on the flat bluestone path and looking at the elegant scenery in the courtyard, Xue Poye was filled with emotions and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
This is the mystery of politics. Maybe those who were honest friends yesterday may become life-and-death enemies today.
The Prince Consort has always tolerated himself calmly, of course because he was not politically powerful before today and would not cause any harm to the Prince Consort's House.
However, he was appointed as the deputy chief guard today and entered the political whirlpool in an instant. Of course, the prince-in-law also knew that many people in this position were watching. After Xue Poye took office, he must face heavy political pressure, and the prince-in-law Wan
I really don’t want this kind of pressure to be brought into the Prince Consort’s Mansion because of Xue Poye, and I don’t want it to affect the eldest princess in the palace.
Many people thought that Xue Poye was the eldest princess, and even the princes tried hard to win over Xue Poye for this purpose, but Xue Poye knew in his heart that the shrewd and beautiful woman in the palace would never allow himself to be a hindrance to her.
Due to factors, it is impossible for her to involve herself and Xue Poye together during this period.
Maybe one day, when the eldest princess needs to use Xue Poye, there will be some other hard or soft means, but those are things for the future. At present, the Prince Consort and the eldest princess are obviously not willing to get involved with them.
Together.
When Xue Poye returned to the small courtyard, he saw Mrs. Green packing her things.
"Are we leaving?" Xiao Shitou came over, took a look at the elegant scenery around him, and said with some reluctance, "Sister said today is the day we should leave."
Xue Poye glanced at the green lady who was busy with sex, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. After all, this beautiful and sexy woman had expected things that she hadn't realized yet, knowing that once she served as the deputy of the Yulin Camp,
Chief Guard, we can no longer live in this Prince Consort's Mansion.
They don't have many things. Xue Poye will naturally not take back the things that Princess Yi gave him before. Since he wants to leave, he must leave cleanly without taking away a piece of dust.
Xue Poye walked out of the Prince Consort's study, and Princess Yi barged in with her back legs.
She obviously got the news and knew that her father was going to expel Xue Poye from the house, so she seemed a little excited, even a little angry. She went straight to her father's study and saw her father standing in the corner, looking at a "Jiangshan"
"She Ji Tu" was stunned and immediately asked: "Why? Father, why do you do this?"
The prince-in-law did not look back, he put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Why?"
"Why did you drive away the master?" Princess Yi's usually gentle temperament changed drastically today, and she seemed very excited.
Xue Poye worked tirelessly, no matter it rained or blew, he would personally accompany Princess Yi to supervise and teach her to practice archery. Although there was no love between men and women, the extremely warm master-disciple relationship was unconsciously
heating up.
Before Princess Yi met Xue Poye, she was at the lowest point in her life, extremely depressed. If Xue Poye hadn't aroused her interest in practicing archery, she would have gained spiritual sustenance and even strengthened her already weak body.
, otherwise I'm afraid the current Princess Yi will be in a different situation, a very bad situation.
The prince-in-law calmly walked back to his seat, leaned on the back of the chair, stared sternly at his daughter with his charming eyes, and said in a calm voice: "For what? It's very simple, for your mother, for you."
"For mother?" Princess Yi frowned and asked doubtfully, "For me?"
The consort looked at his daughter, his eyes shining with love. When he saw Princess Yi wearing soft armor, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you still practicing archery?"
"Yes." Princess Yi stared at the consort's eyes and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "But if father dares to leave the master, then he will not have to practice archery in the future."
The Prince Consort's eyelids twitched, he frowned, and said slowly: "Do you know what kind of army the Yulin Camp is?"
Princess Yi pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Those are the Royal Guards, the elite troops who protect our royal family."
The prince-in-law smiled faintly. Of course, he was sure that no one could overhear his conversation in his study, so he said frankly: "To put it bluntly, those are His Majesty the Emperor's personal guards, and they are in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor."
The sharp blade, to be honest, is the army that controls the inner courtyard of the palace, they control the lifeblood of the palace."
Princess Yi didn't seem to have thought so far. When her father said this, she showed a hint of surprise and whispered: "What my father means is that the Yulin Camp is a sharp knife in the hands of the palace."
The prince-in-law nodded and said: "Yes, this sharp blade can protect yourself, but sometimes it can also hurt yourself."
"Then the master became a member of the Yulin Camp?" Princess Yi was a little confused. Xue Poye served as the deputy chief guard of the Yulin Camp. This was not only shocking to Xue Poye himself, but also to many people.
The prince-in-law was calm and composed. This matter seemed to be normal in his eyes. He said leisurely: "His Majesty the Emperor made him a member of the Yulin Camp, and he became a member of the Yulin Camp."
This sentence may seem like nonsense, but it has a profound meaning.
No matter how the power struggles and conflicts are fought, only His Majesty the Emperor is the real master of the Yulin Camp that is watched by countless people. Without His Majesty the Emperor's consent, no matter how much effort is spent, it will ultimately be in vain.
Of course Princess Yi could not understand such a complicated problem, so she cried and begged: "Father, can you keep them?"
"No!" the consort said immediately, without any room for maneuver. He stared at Princess Yi and said seriously: "I said, only in this way can we protect your mother, you, and even your master."
"Protect Master?"
"You don't need to know too much." The Prince Consort sighed: "I just want to tell you that if Xue Shitou lives in the Prince Consort's Mansion, there will be many people who think they can win over your mother through him. This is the last thing your mother wants.
It’s a situation you want to see. And because of this, your master will also get too much attention from people, which is not a good thing."
Princess Yi has determined that the matter is irreversible and knows that the mystery behind it is profound. Maybe what her father said is true. The master will be safer if he leaves the Prince Consort's Mansion.
She stamped her feet, turned around and left the study room.
The prince-in-law shook his head, walked slowly to the "Landscape and State Map", put his hands behind his back, and whispered to himself: "My good uncle, you dragged a person like Xue Shitou with no background into the crucial Yulin camp.
, what exactly do you want to do?”
The heart of an emperor is unfathomable!
Xue Poye and the other three left very neatly, taking nothing from the Prince Consort's house except what they deserved.
Except for the noble and majestic Prince Consort's Mansion, Xue Poye instantly felt that he was as unfamiliar with Kyoto, as if he had just arrived. This feeling reminded him of the first time he traveled to Hangzhou.
Lonely, helpless, and confused.
Fortunately, there was Green Lady and Little Stone beside him. Although he felt a little cold, he was not lonely.
The golden shrine chainmail gifted by the Holy Emperor was packed in a bag and carried on his back. Xue Poye walked out of the Prince Consort's Mansion with the green lady and the little stone in a cool manner.
It was approaching dusk, and Kyoto's unique dark atmosphere became even stronger. There was a chill in the breeze, giving people a chill.
"Master!" Princess Yi's voice came from behind.
Xue Poye turned around and saw Princess Yi standing in front of the mansion with a sad face and looking at Xue Poye guiltily.
Xue Poye put down his golden chain mail, walked over, took out a booklet from his arms, handed it to Princess Yi and said: "Princess, I have written down the precautions and tips for practicing archery in detail.
It was written on it, and it also had illustrations. I wanted to wait until you have achieved some success before handing it over to you, but now it seems that I can only hand it over to you today." After a pause, he said seriously: "Practice archery is not required.
Quick, it’s just a fluke that I can succeed. If you want to achieve something, don’t rush every day, let alone be greedy for haste. The only way is to take it step by step. Practice diligently. Once you let go of this thing, it will be difficult to keep it.
It’s up to standard.”
Xue Poye's instructions made Princess Yi feel even more ashamed. She took the booklet and said with a tearful voice: "Master, I...I...!"
Xue Poye laughed and said: "Silly girl, why are you crying? I'm not leaving forever. I just won't live here for the time being. I won't leave Kyoto. I will come over to guide you at any time."
Princess Yi hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.
Xue Poye pondered for a moment and said softly: "What the consort does is a kind of protection for everyone. Don't blame him wrongly."
Princess Yi nodded and whispered: "Master, you must come." After thinking about it, she added: "In this way, I will find a place for you, so that's it...!"
Xue Poye immediately stretched out his hand to stop him: "No." He sighed and said softly: "Silly girl, master didn't even bring the things you gave me, how could he let you help me find a house? All this is just for
I'm just protecting everyone. The master knows your intentions. When I find a place to live, I will naturally send someone to inform you. You don't have to worry."
Princess Yi's eyes were red as she watched Xue Poye and Lady Green gradually go away. A gust of wind came and she couldn't help but shiver.
The cold weather in Kyoto comes really early.
Xue Poye took Green Lady and Xiao Shitou and walked straight along the bluestone avenue.
If you are single, you can go to Xiao Sugun and Gattuso to join forces. The two of them have found a very remote house and even a quiet back yard, which is perfect for conducting explosive experiments.
Of course, Xue Poye provided a lot of funds. Due to the small dosage configuration proposed by Xue Poye, materials were greatly saved. Of course, today's experiments will not waste materials as much as Xiaosu Guan and others once did.
Xue Poye planned to find an inn to stay first. He went to Yulin Camp tomorrow and asked about whether there were any benefits, such as sharing a house, so that he could accommodate Green Lady and Xiao Shitou. But that was not possible, so he had to pay for it himself.
I’m going to buy one first. Although I may not be able to buy a big house with the money I have, but I still have a good place to stay temporarily.
"Are you really prepared to be the deputy chief guard?" The green lady came closer and asked in a low voice.
Xue Poye smiled faintly and asked, "Then do you think I should do it?"
The green lady shook her head and sighed faintly: "I don't know, there are always pros and cons to this matter. If you can really enter the Yulin Camp, it will naturally be helpful to our great cause, but... alas
…!”
Xue Poye chuckled and said, "Sister, are you afraid that I will be stumbling over my glory and wealth?"
The green lady glanced at him, bit her lip, and did not answer. This meant that she was obviously a little worried.
Xue Poye approached the Green Lady, smelled her daughter's body fragrance in the cold wind at dusk, smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "Sister, tell me, is the position of Deputy Chief Guard of the Yulin Camp very important?
"
"The Yulin camp is a fake...!" The "false emperor" in the green lady's mouth was about to blurt out, but when she saw the small stone not far behind her, she sighed and whispered: "They are the emperor's elite guards, protecting
It is of course very important to be in the imperial palace. Although the deputy chief guard is not a full-time position, it is still a great official position in the Yulin camp. I heard that with such a position, even those high-ranking officials would not dare to offend easily."
Xue Poye nodded and asked again: "So, in Kyoto, am I just a worthless person?"
The green lady was silent for a long time, and finally admitted: "Maybe."
"Then, sister, have you ever thought that I, a mere mediocre person, want to serve as the deputy chief guard of Yulin Camp, which is watched by everyone? How big is the conspiracy behind this, and how powerful is the person who set up this trap? Do you think
Never thought about it?" Xue Poye said helplessly: "Can I evade such a situation?"
The green lady pondered for a moment, knowing that what he said was right. Since Xue Poye could be appointed as the deputy chief guard, the muddy water behind it was obviously very deep. With Xue Poye's current strength, there was really no way to resist.
"Then...then aren't you in danger?" The green lady asked worriedly.
Xue Poye laughed and walked forward with his armor on his back, leisurely saying: "My luck has always been very good, although it may be an own incident that put me in this position, but this is a piece of fat after all, I
Think I'll be good at something."
Seeing his confident look, the green lady felt a little relieved.
In her heart, a man like Xue Poye can face any difficulties.
Xue Poye said this, but he was already 80% moved by Mrs. Kuanlu's heart. Although he hadn't penetrated deeply into the gloom of Kyoto, he already felt a chill. He really didn't know that he was in such a position this time.
It's a blessing or a curse.
"How on earth did I get to this position?" Xue Poye murmured in his heart, thinking about it. Thinking that he would enter the Yulin camp tomorrow, and his subordinates would be all the first-class elites of Da Chu. He just wanted to
I feel like my hormones are rising and my waist is sore.
Just when the three of them were about to reach the street corner, they saw a broad carriage covered with warm brocade coming towards them.
Seeing that the carriage was going very fast, Xue Poye hurriedly pulled the green lady and Xiao Shitou and stood by the roadside, waiting for the carriage to pass. Looking at the arrogant appearance of the carriage, he didn't know which family it belonged to.
Who knew that the car stopped when it was close, right in front of Xue Poye?
Xue Poye frowned. The coachman was very ordinary and didn't look like any special character. Could it be that he was hiding something deeply? He was thinking about it when he heard a deep voice in the car say: "Xue Shitou, with the
Get your people in the car."
The sound passed into Xue Poye's ears, and he felt that it sounded familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was. He turned to the green lady to warn her, but he laughed and said: "Who is this friend? This is Xue Shitou!"
The side curtain of the carriage opened, revealing a face, staring at Xue Poye, and said calmly: "Come up!" and then quickly lowered the curtain.
Xue Poye and Lady Lu both saw that face, and they almost screamed. They could see very clearly that not only was this person familiar, but he had experienced life and death before, and he was even his good brother.
In the carriage, suddenly it was Duan Kezhang, the chrysanthemum boy!dd
