Wang Ji'en respectfully retreated from the palace gate, walked down the steps to wipe off his sweat, straightened his chest and abdomen, and showed a majestic and cold manner, like a lion patrolling the territory. When the imperial guards guarding the palace gate saw him, they were solemn. When they were all marching, the ordinary eunuchs greeted him warmly. Wang Ji'en's nostrils were facing the sky, and no matter who approached him, he was cold or hot, and walked back to the official office located in the Zuo Chengtian Gate.

Fu Jingtao followed behind and observed silently, neither humble nor arrogant.

Returning to the official hall, Wang Ji'en first asked someone to prepare swordsmanship, waist cards and other items, changed into a kind and kind face, took Fu Jingtao's hand and sat in the seat, and said with a smile: "Personnel Fu, although we are both When we first met, we were all close ministers of the Holy Emperor. We should work together to solve our problems. From today on, we will be closer to you and I."

Fu Jingtao was held by the soft and cold hand, and couldn't help but stand upside down. He resisted the urge to punch the dead eunuch and smiled and said, "I'm just entering the big house, my eyes were dark, and I didn't know the palace at all. I don’t know what to do with rules and taboos, so I hope Lord Wang will give me some advice.”

Wang Jien laughed and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say! You and I will fall into the same situation at first sight. Your business is mine. If the time is right, Master Fu should not forget to say a few good words to me in front of the Holy Emperor."

Fu Jingtao quietly pulled his hand back and scratched his head and said, "Mr. Wang is afraid he is saying the opposite? You always serve the emperor, so why should I talk too much?"

Wang Jien stared at him for a while and said slowly: "Do you don't know the responsibilities of the Imperial City Department, nor do you know the weight of carrying the imperial equipment?"

Fu Jingtao said frankly: "I am dedicated to practicing martial arts and have not been exposed to much officialdom. I would like to hear about it."

Wang Ji'en showed a sudden look and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of martial arts Captain Fu is good at? If he doesn't have the unique skills, he may not be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers and generals in the palace!" No matter how he looked at Fu Jingtao, he was too young, and he followed the generals. Compared to being too immature, how can the strong man stand up to the attack of those fierce generals?

Fu Jingtao said: "I am good at archery, can draw five stone bows, and I can hit every shot within 150 steps."

Wang Ji'en was surprised and happy, and his heart was put back in his stomach. It should be noted that the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty advocated archery and long-range control of the enemy. The proportion of archers and crossbowmen in the army accounted for 60 to 70%. The treatment of archers in any battalion They are all extremely high and can even serve as generals of the commander-in-chief. As Fu Jingtao said, he can defeat the 100,000 imperial guards in the capital with this archery technique alone and firmly sit in the Imperial City Division.

The Imperial City Department directly obeyed Zhao Kuangyin's military organization. It was neither affiliated with the Palace Front Office nor under the command of the Privy Council. Its greatest responsibility was to maintain the security of the emperor and the harem. The Imperial City Department had more than 3,000 soldiers and was in charge of the Palace City. The ban on entry and exit is in charge of the imperial city gate, palace gate, and hall gate keys, monitors ministers and generals, spys on the enemy's intelligence, and manages the emperor's personal artifacts. They belong to the emperor's personal guards and guard dogs.

"Bringing imperial equipment" is a special military title. It is appointed by the emperor himself to select the most loyal general and give him the power to wear a sword with him, and to enter and exit the palace freely without being bound by the law and not obeying military orders. The dispatch is only responsible to the emperor. As long as the military officer with the imperial equipment doubts who intends to assassinate the emperor, he can be executed first and then report, and there is no need to take responsibility afterwards.

Because Zhao Kuangyin was extremely brave and ordinary people could not hurt him at all, so there were extremely few places with imperial equipment. So far, only four people have been awarded, and Fu Jingtao was the fifth one.

The first four generals with imperial equipment are all powerful generals with ten thousand enemies. Their positions are not high, but they are confidants who can entrust their lives. Who dares to call them around? Wherever they appear, even if they are the prime minister of the dynasty, the Privy Council, too

The wise man should also treat him politely, as if the emperor had arrived in person!

If anyone who has no eyes dares to rush and brings the equipment, killing it is like killing a chicken or a dog.

Wang Ji'en said enviously: "Prince Fu, how much does the Holy Emperor value you! Even if I take charge of the power of the guards, I cannot enter and exit the imperial city at will, and I cannot carry a sword-faced Saint. Such an honor is really hard for ordinary people to look down on!"

Fu Jingtao was thrilled and finally understood what it means to carry imperial equipment. The "Sword of the Emperor" given by the emperor is the Shangfang sword mentioned in the play. He kept supervising all officials and was not guilty of killing. On the surface, this military position was not

The soldiers have no power, but they actually represent the emperor. How powerful do you think is? Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin strictly controls the posts with imperial equipment, which not only requires extraordinary force, but also requires that the person is loyal and loyal. He must not be detrimental to the Song Dynasty court.

matter.

In the eyes of others, Zhao Kuangyin's trust and favor for him was simply unparalleled.

Fu Jingtao was excited, and also felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was particularly heavy. He thought about it and asked, "Sir, where are the other four wearing imperial equipment now? The responsibilities are so important, I should ask my seniors for advice.

, lest you make a joke if you make mistakes."

Wang Jien said: "Xie Wudi died in the battle against the Southern Tang Dynasty; Liu Fu broke his hand when he pacified the Li Chongjin Rebellion, and is now idle at home; Qin Tieshan, Yang Wanfeng is with the Holy Emperor. The commander Fu might as well find Liu Fu Fu."

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Jien asked without a trace: "The Holy Emperor gave a strict investigation into theft and sale of military weapons. I wonder what Captain Fu has to think?"

Fu Jingtao shrugged and said, "It's not my specialty to investigate the case, Lord Wang will do it."

Wang Ji'en sighed: "The case is not difficult to investigate, but the difficulty is that the size is difficult to grasp! Li Yongping is a member of the general, and was promoted to the commander position by the Holy Emperor. He has always had close contacts with the commander of the imperial guards. Here

There is something to be said!"

Fu Jingtao frowned and said, "Is Lord Wang afraid that he would pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and he would be rebounded by the military?"

Wang Ji'en said seriously: "I am doing things for the Holy Emperor, why should I be afraid? However, the generals of the Imperial Guards all come from the generals. If someone takes the risk to alarm the emperor, we will have nothing to do."

Fu Jingtao disagreed and said, "Liu Qingyi conspired to rebel in Hanzhong and eventually committed suicide for fear of crime. After his death, some people dared to speak out? Lord Wang, have you never thought that the emperor wanted to use you and me to clean the general's door?" Liu Qingyi was

Zhao Kuangyin's sworn brothers, the governor who held military power, died quietly? Who dared to come out and anger the dragon's power?

Wang Ji'en woke up from a dream and said, "Prince Fu hit the nail on the head, I know what to do!" He followed Zhao Kuangyin for many years, and experienced too many political turmoils and factional struggles. He immediately guessed that the situation of the generals' dominance made the emperor uneasy.

Leave. This time theft and sale of weapons case is just an introduction and an excuse. After Zhao Kuangyin obtains the ironclad evidence, he will use this to further tighten his military power. At that time, everyone in the army will be in danger, so who has the leisure to attack him?

Fu Jingtao sighed inwardly. Looking at history, the founding heroes could never escape the fate of the bow trap, especially if the generals in command did not hand over power in time, they would almost die. Zhao Kuangyin was kind and open-minded, which could involve the issue of the stability of the throne.

He would never give in, otherwise how could Liu Qingyi "sincerely"? In the face of imperial power, brotherhood and brotherhood became insignificant.

Wang Ji'en had a bright and elegant spell. In front of Fu Jingtao, he called his confidants and subordinates to explain the investigation of the case one by one, and introduced Fu Jingtao's military position to prevent the flood from rushing to the Dragon King Temple.

The Imperial City Department has two deputy envoys, including the officials who are seduced and detained officials, who are responsible for delegating officials, moving forward and backward. There are also commanders of the military officers, and eleven persons personally follow the officials to command.

The office mainly involves civil servants, clerks, relatives, officials, train soldiers in the military camps, or patrol the palace.

When all the officials heard that Fu Jingtao was appointed as the "harness equipment", they were all surprised and moved. If they hadn't taken care of Wang Ji'en's face, they would have been scrambling to sumo over and give him a stinking foot.

All things were just arranged, and suddenly I heard the soldiers and the sound of footsteps was noisy. A group of high-ranking generals broke into the official office in anger and shouted, "Where did the boy come from? I snatched the imperial equipment.

"We are not convinced!" "If you can't beat me, Ma Yukun, get out of the palace!"

Wang Ji'en's face darkened and he whispered: "It's those soldiers full of brute force!"

Fu Jingtao had a premonition about this. Four of the hundreds of thousands of imperial guards were only released with imperial equipment. Who wouldn't be jealous? He brushed his clothes gently and said calmly: "Mr. Wang, let me go and meet them for a while!"

Mount Tai collapses before it is not shocked.
