The emperor's pursuit of immortality is quite normal and understandable in Gu Cheng's opinion.
Among the human emperors, with their overwhelming power, who would be willing to turn into a cup of loess?
However, immortality is a false proposition. An immortal pig may be able to cultivate to the holy realm, let alone an emperor who has gathered all the power in the world.
Therefore, once any emperor has any idea of immortality, it will definitely arouse the opposition of the entire world.
Not only are the Jianghu forces opposed, but also within the imperial court and the royal family.
If the emperor wants to live forever, what will happen to the princes and princes below? I am already immortal, so what else do I need for the princes and princes?
Li Yuangong waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Check! Check carefully for me to find out who is secretly spreading these messages and harming me!
And in the capital, please ask Jingyesi’s people to pay attention to the Jianghu people coming and going in the capital, regardless of their sect or status, this is the capital, where I am the capital of Daqian, and they cannot be allowed to be presumptuous!"
Fang Henshui said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, a strict investigation is possible. The number of people in the capital suddenly increased by 50%. The number of people in the Jingyesi Division in the capital is probably not enough. The commanders of the four regions may not have enough time and Take care of these things."
Things in the Jianghu are the most difficult. He, Jingyesi, was not responsible for the current chaos in the capital, and the Governor was not here, so Fang Henshui subconsciously wanted to push this matter out.
But Li Yuangong thought for a while and said: "How can there be no one if I have so many talented people? Since Jingyesi's four regions don't have enough manpower, let's add more manpower.
During the recent period, the military was ordered to select a person and recruit the best from the Imperial Guard and Divine Guards.
Jingyesi also selected one person, the best from the four regions of the capital.
These people have joined together to set up an inspection department. They do not need to be responsible for other things. They are here to supervise the Jianghu people who have come to Beijing recently. I want to see if any of them dares to cause trouble on my birthday!"
Li Yuangong was also very angry when he saw his appearance.
He doesn't know how long he can sit on the throne. It's his birthday, but someone comes to trouble him. How can he not be angry?
"Yuan Xing, your military should choose someone."
Li Yuanxing thought for a while and said: "The newly appointed General of the Imperial Guard, Hong Dingshan, is fine.
He has the experience of leading troops in Western Xinjiang, and he was a general of the Shaowu Army before. He is calm and decisive in his work, and is a bit more energetic than those of us who have been stationed in the capital all year round.
Moreover, he has only been in the capital for less than a year, and he does not have so many intricate connections in the capital, so he is quite qualified for this position."
Li Yuanxing was from the Shenwu Guard, but he recommended people from the Imperial Guard.
It's not that he has any conflicts with other Shenwuwei generals, it's just that this position is a bit unpleasant.
You may be rewarded for your contribution, but looking at Li Yuangong's current attitude, there will be no good results if he fails.
Also, the Shenwu Guards mainly protect the royal family, so these generals have some relationship with the royal family.
The connections in the capital were intricate. It was normal for the royal family to have relations with Jianghu people. Li Yuanxing could not guarantee what situation he would encounter, so it was better to let people from the Imperial Guard come, especially people like Hong Dingshan. I have only been in Beijing for a short time and don’t have many connections.
Li Yuangong nodded and turned his gaze to Fang Henshui.
But before Fang Henshui could make a recommendation, Li Yuangong said: "Jingyesi can be left to Gu Cheng. I heard that when you were in Jiangnan, you single-handedly took care of all the major sects in Jiangnan.
You are obedient, now I am in the capital, I hope you will not disappoint me."
Gu Cheng quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."
After saying these things, Li Yuangong's face showed a hint of fatigue, and he waved his hands to let everyone disperse.
After leaving the imperial city, Fang Henshui suddenly sighed.
Gu Cheng was surprised and said: "Sir, is there something wrong with this matter?"
Fang Henshui shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, there are good and bad.
Your Majesty has a deep impression on you and will think of you whenever something happens. This is a good thing.
However, the current situation in the capital is a bit complicated, and the capital is not comparable to that in Jiangnan. If you fail to handle things well, not only will your majesty punish you, but there will also be countless people waiting to laugh at you.
Anyway, as long as you have an idea of what's going on, remember to be more calm when doing things.
I will send a message to the commanders of the four regions later and ask them to gather together for you to choose some people. You can just take care of it yourself."
After Fang Henshui left, Gu Cheng touched his chin, with a look of thought in his eyes.
The water in the capital is getting muddier and muddier, but it's good if it's muddy. How can we fish if it's not muddy?
It's not that Gu Cheng is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but that the world is already in such chaos, and all Gu Cheng has to do is win in the chaos.
Just like now, he was struggling with where Chen Danggui and others should go, but now he has an idea.
In a side hall of the Jingyesi headquarters in the capital, the commanders of the four regions in the southeast and northwest were present, and their twelve night watchmen were also standing behind the four of them.
Gu Cheng has also sat in the position of leader of the four domains. Those who can sit in this position must have strength, ability, or connections. Anyway, you must have something outstanding. If you want to get to this position through qualifications
It's basically impossible.
The current leaders of these four domains are:
Dong Xinjue, the commander of the Eastern Territory, although he is a master, he is too old, already in his forties.
Huangfu Hua, the leader of the Southern Territory, is in his early thirties and is half a master.
Wu Siqi, the commander of the Western Regions, is also in his forties, but he has been in the realm of a master for three or four years. He has a profound background and is waiting for the position of governor.
Chu Youran, the commander of the Northern Territory, is the youngest. He has reached the late sixth grade at the age of just over 20 years old. Among the younger generation of Jingyesi, he is an outstanding figure on the same level as Gu Cheng. He is also the only one who has no experience in serving outside the country and has directly worked in the field.
It is conceivable that the commander who has risen to such a position within the Jingyesi headquarters also has a very profound background.
They had also received Fang Henshui's order, so they all gathered here and waited for Gu Cheng to come and select people.
This kind of thing cannot be said to be good or bad.
The bad thing is that none of them want their subordinates to be picked off by others.
But the good thing is that they all feel that something is wrong in Beijing during this period. They can still control it for now, but they may not know what it will be like in the future.
Now that the imperial court has established an inspection department, any disturbance caused by these gangsters will be under the control of the inspection department, and they will not be held responsible for anything that happens.
At this time, Chu Youran's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled at Dong Xinjue and said: "Old Dong, speaking of this, Master Chu has a 'very close relationship' with you. Now he has become one of the leaders of the Supervision Department.
One, do you also want to think about it?"
The capital is such a big place, so how can there be anything new?
As soon as Gu Cheng returned to Beijing, the news that Dong Xinjue walked away on his own territory had spread throughout the entire Jingyesi. He was the one who was being talked about in disgrace.
The reason why Chu Youran teased the other party about this matter today was because the Eastern Region and the Northern Region were close to each other, and this guy had done things that crossed the border many times.
When Gu Cheng said that Dong Xinjue was a rat carrying a gun, he was really not trying to hurt him intentionally, but that this guy had done this kind of thing not just once or twice.
Externally he was tolerant when facing the princes and nobles of Daqian, but internally he was very rude to other colleagues in Jingyesi.
Dong Xinjue's face looked a little ugly. Who would have thought that Gu Cheng would become the head of the Laoshizi Supervision Department in a blink of an eye. The higher-ups were just messing around and adding a department without any reason.
"Hmph! Don't be complacent! When Gu Cheng comes and recruits your subordinates, are you willing to give them to him?"
Chu Youran said calmly: "Why am I reluctant? The Inspectorate is responsible for taking the blame for all of us. It's up to them to take the blame for good and bad. We can't just let people take office empty-handed, right?"
Dong Xinjue snorted coldly: "So what? Anyway, everything is in accordance with the rules!"
At this moment, Gu Cheng stepped into the side hall and said calmly: "Master Dong is right. Let's follow the rules today."
Seeing Gu Cheng walking in, not only Dong Xinjue's face looked a little ugly, but even Chu Youran and others also looked serious and dignified.
In fact, they don't have much favorable impressions of Gu Cheng. To be precise, they have mixed feelings.
Gu Cheng didn't have much dealings with them when he was the commander of the Eastern Territory, but Gu Cheng was too high-profile. Regardless of his strength, he was the first to get things done.
You, Gu Cheng, are so high-profile, but it makes them seem a little incompetent.
It can be said that Gu Cheng broke the way the leaders of the four regions have always acted, and it is not surprising that they all have some opinions.
After looking around, Gu Cheng sat on the main seat and looked at everyone with a smile: "Everyone, your Majesty has newly established the Supervision Department and needs to mobilize elites in the four regions. You should all know it, right?"
Wu Siqi, the commander of the Western Regions, said in a deep voice: "Commander Fang has already told me to wait, but Mr. Gu, we should cooperate with the orders above, but please be kind and don't beat too many people."
Chu Youran spread his hands and said pitifully: "Yes, Mr. Gu, it is not easy for our four regions to save some wealth. You took away all the people under our command, and it is the same for us to become the polished commander." You can’t do anything, right?”
The remaining Huangfu Hua also said: "We will definitely cooperate with the orders from above, but please be considerate of me, sir."
The three of them were a little resistant, but their attitude was still polite. They just hoped that Gu Cheng wouldn't go too far.
Of course Dong Xinjue would not give in to Gu Cheng like them. He just snorted heavily, while his eyes were filled with horror.
We haven't seen him for a few days. When did he, Gu Cheng, step into the realm of a master?
At this time, Gu Cheng also looked at Dong Xinjue, and the look in his eyes made him feel hairy all over.
ps: Chu Youran was the alliance leader’s last ink... as a sidekick.
