With that said, the emperor personally handed a token to Li Mu. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test
Li Mu took it in his hand and squeezed it hard, but there was no loss at all. Looking carefully, he couldn't tell what material it was made of.
On the front of the token are engraved three large characters: Xuanjing Division, and several small characters, namely Li Mu, the deputy chief.
In the Xuanjing Division, it is true that the Heavenly Realm Division has the final say, but in an era when heavenly beings are not allowed to take action easily, the eight half-step Heavenly Realm Deputy Division Chiefs have the power, control everything, and become the real masters of the Xuanjing Division.
The great power is self-evident.
"Sure enough, I'm still here, and I've become the person I hate the most!" Li Mu sighed in his heart.
The Six Gates, Xuanjing Division, etc. are equivalent to the spy agencies of the previous life, the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty, the Military Command of the Republic of China, and the KGB of the former Soviet Union.
Li Mu still said: "I am a civil servant!"
"Haha!" The emperor laughed: "Without military merit, you cannot be granted the title of Marquis. You were canonized as Wushuang Marquis because of your half-step celestial cultivation and because you have to prepare to move into the Xuanjing Division!"
Li Mu still said: "I am a civil servant!"
The emperor said: "Wen is not as good as martial arts, this world is the world of warriors!"
Li Mu was speechless.
But that’s exactly what happened.
The deputy head of the department is from the third rank. If he relied on the path of civil servants, Li Mu might have reached this point in his forties or fifties; but now, he has done it, but he is less than thirty.
"I obey the decree!"
Li Mu said.
"The specific affairs have not been arranged yet, so you can go down and wait!" the emperor said.
Li Mu said: "I obey the order!"
Saying that, he slowly retreated.
…………
In this way, Li Mu was temporarily promoted to deputy director, but he didn't know the details yet.
Back in the mansion, Li Mu told him his official position, and the emperor spoke to him, and asked: "What should I do next?"
From the civil service system to the secret service system, Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable.
Hua Wuying was born in the Xuanjing Division and came from the Ying lineage. He was extremely familiar with all of this. He said: "The Great Zhou Taizu had a very low starting point. He was just a beggar and lived a very hard life. Later, during the war,
He joined the army, experienced many deadly battles, and later became prosperous!"
"After he became successful, he was recruited as his son-in-law by the leader of the rebel army at that time. Later, during the battle, the rebel army was defeated and the rebel leader was also killed. At that time, he fled with less than 2,000 remaining soldiers, but he also established an independent
The team later became stronger as they fought, their power continued to expand, their territory expanded, and finally they became emperor in one fell swoop!"
"But after he became emperor, he discovered that he was truly alone. He had no biological brothers, and he only had one fellow villager. There were very few relatives in the fifth server. He was truly alone. The situation was very unfavorable for him, so he established the Six
He opened the door to monitor the world; later, he established the Xuanjing Division to monitor the civil and military affairs of the court. Later, he also created four major cases and wiped out more than half of the hero's lineage!"
Hua Wuying is a true nobleman, familiar with some inside stories and deep secrets of the Zhou Dynasty, and he is talking about some unknown things at this moment.
Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a strange man. He was born as a beggar, but he aspired to be the emperor. His abilities were top-notch. However, he was born from a grassroots and his background was too low, which led to his extremely sensitive character, extreme self-esteem, and extreme low self-esteem.
The emperors of the past dynasties all had family backgrounds. Once a rebellion broke out, the clan members would go to the battlefield together, fight brothers, father and son soldiers, or have in-laws, or village party members, or junior high school students, etc. to participate. Once the dynasty was at its peak, those
Relatives will become the royal family, while fellow villagers will become royalists.
But after Taizu of Zhou Dynasty became emperor, he discovered a phenomenon awkwardly: he had no royal family and no royalists.
Because his parents have died long ago, and he has no older brothers or younger brothers. There are no even distant relatives. As for his fellow villagers, there are only one or two, a few sons who have not grown up, and a dozen adopted sons. This is considered
The royal family line is weak. But the ministers are powerful and connected with each other.
The ministerial power is too strong and the imperial power is too weak.
Therefore, there were six gates and the Xuanjing Division to control the ministers.
As for why there are two departments with overlapping powers, it is mainly to restrict each other, fight within each other, and monitor each other.
If the Six Gates rebel, the Xuanjing Division will suppress it; if the Xuanjing Division rebels, the Six Gates will suppress it. Even if the Six Gates rebel collectively, the Xuanjing Division may have a third intelligence structure take action.
Of course, there is overlap in institutions and there are many problems, but if it is not like this, how can we sleep peacefully at night?
"Then what should I do?" Li Mu asked, "What about my authority?"
Hua Wuying said: "You can care about everything, or you can care about nothing, whether it's a heavenly being or a half-step heavenly being, the main thing is to intimidate, rarely take action, unless it's a big thing, don't take action!"
Li Mu asked about some important things again, and Hua Wuying also asked about the specific settings of the Xuanjing Division.
The Xuanjing Division is mainly responsible for guard of honor, intelligence exploration, monitoring civil and military officials, arrests and interrogations, etc. In some special operations, it can bypass local civil and military affairs and directly conduct arrests, interrogations, etc., with the power to kill first and report later.
Each county and state has a certain number of troops, ranging from 3,000 to 3,000 in each county, and 20,000 to 30,000 in some states.
In terms of quantity, it may not be as good as the local army, but its strength cannot be ignored.
Xuanjing Division has a huge intelligence structure and a huge number of informants in various sects, forces, families, and the homes of some princes and nobles.
There are also independent properties, independent small treasury, etc., which have formed a huge force.
…………
The next day, under the leadership of Hua Wuying, Li Mu entered the Xuanjing Division headquarters in the capital.
When I got here, I didn't encounter anything difficult, and no one was trying to fawn over me. Everything was as normal as eating and drinking.
Entering the Xuanjing Division, some permissions are open to him.
Li Mu can enter the library and look through some secret books. Many techniques that are rarely seen in the outside world can be found here.
"Sure enough, everyone is like a dragon, but there are also tricks. Most of the martial arts spread outside have high entry barriers, such as the Immortality Technique; there are also some low entry barriers, but the power is relatively low, such as Huashan Sword Technique and Hunyuan Gong;
There are also some exercises that are self-created by seniors. They have shortcomings and are spread out for testing!"
"There are also exercises here, including matching elixirs and secret techniques, so the difficulty of practice is also decreasing!"
After flipping through the library and comparing the Bandits Library and the Ningbo Library, Li Mu immediately saw the difference.
I turned to a book called The Secret of Immortality.
This exercise book is the first one that Li Mu practiced. In the Bandit Library and Ningbo Library, the version of the Secret of Immortality only has a thousand words.
But this version of the Secret of Immortality has several thousand words.
There is a thousand words of the original text, as well as some comments by seniors who practice the Immortality Technique, describing entry-level techniques, practice misunderstandings, how to avoid them, etc., which is about more than five thousand words.
Finally, there are three prescriptions to assist in practicing the Secret of Immortality.
The first prescription is to take the Xiantian Qi Sensing Pill before practicing. You can be keenly aware of the changes in your body. After practicing the Immortality Art, the success rate of getting started can be increased by one level.
The second prescription is to take the Innate Nirvana Pill before practicing, which can create a trace of Innate True Qi in the body, which can increase the success rate by two levels.
The third prescription is to take the Daqian Good Fortune Pill before practicing, and the body will undergo transformation, and the success rate of entry can be increased by as much as three levels.
Looking at the luxurious version of the Secret of Immortality and then the simple version, Li Mu understood what the gap between commoners and nobles was.
ps: This is the third update, there will be another update later. I will post it together today.
