my wife is mulan

"May I ask which mansion your young master belongs to?"

"He Gong will know as soon as he goes to see him, and the delay won't be long!"

He Yong pondered for a while, gave some instructions to several soldiers, and followed his followers to the restaurant.

"My lord, Mr. He is here!"

Zhao Ping looked up at He Yong, and He Yong also looked at Zhao Ping.

"Forgive me for my stupid eyesight, I don't know who the young master is?"

Zhao Ping pointed to the opposite bench: "Sit first, sit down and talk!"

He Yong arched his hands and sat opposite Zhao Ping.

Zhao Ping greeted the stall owner: "One more bowl of wine!"

"Okay, come right away!"

When the stall owner brought a bowl of wine, Zhao Ping waved his hand: "It's none of your business, go and do yours!"

The stall owner saw that Zhao Ping was extravagant, so he bowed and retreated.

Zhao Ping said to He Yong: "My surname is Zhao, my name is Ping, and I rank third in my family. Have you heard of the Imperial City Secretary?"

"Imperial City Secretary? Never heard of it!" He Yong shook his head.

"Where's the black guard?"

He Yongdao: "My lord, you are joking. The black-clothed guards are famous. They search for the emperor's relatives and relatives, and for the ordinary people. No one dares to investigate. Who in the world doesn't know?"

Zhao Ping took a sip of the wine. The taste of the wine was really unpalatable. He put down the bowl and said, "In recent years, whether it is the Southern Dynasty, the Northern Rouran, or the countries in the Western Regions, or even the small countries in the Southwest, a large number of people have entered our territory. , Some of these people who entered the territory of our country came to spy on my secrets, assassinate the emperor, ministers and senior officials, and some specifically came to sabotage and destroy my country's stability. The yamen of various ministries mobilized manpower to form a new yamen to deal with these foreign spies and assassins. The name of this new yamen was Huangcheng Division. I am the No. 1 admiral of the Imperial City Division!"

He Yong seemed to have heard of the name Zhao Ping somewhere before, but the name was so common that he didn't remember it for a while. After hearing Zhao Ping's words, he realized that Zhao Ping's identity was definitely not simple. The Imperial City Division, which was separated from the black guards, is definitely a violent institution. How could such a yamen allow a young man of sixteen or seventeen to take power?Unless his identity is as high as the sky, since his surname is Zhao and he is the third eldest, then Zhao Ping's identity is ready to be revealed.

"So it's... please forgive He Yong's blindness!" He Yong said and was about to stand up and salute.

Zhao Ping pressed his hand to signal him to sit down, "I don't want to make a scene known to everyone, just call me San Gongzi, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Third Young Master!"

Zhao Pingdao: "Now the position of Si Cheng of the Imperial City Division is still vacant. The National Teacher recommended you to me, saying that you had served as a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment in the previous dynasty and was good at criminal investigation. I believe in the vision of the National Teacher! I am still young. I don't know much about the Imperial City Division's arrest of enemy secret agents, assassins, etc. I need a deputy to assist me in presiding over the specific affairs of the Imperial City Division. You don’t need to swear allegiance to me, as long as you are loyal to the court, do things with your heart, and fulfill your duties. If you make a contribution in handling the case, I will ask my father for your credit!”

He Yong didn't even think about it, he got up and bowed down: "He Yong is willing to share your worries for the young master!"

In the morning of the next day, He Yong came to the Imperial City Department early. He put on the official uniform and official boots prepared by Zhao Ping and went to the duty room to meet Zhao Ping.

Zhao Ping sent someone to gather the officials of the Imperial City Division and introduced He Yong to them: "His name is He Yong, he is the Prime Minister of the Imperial City Division, and my deputy. From today onwards, He Yong is in charge of the specific affairs of the Imperial City Division. If the official is not here, he will be fully responsible for the affairs of the Imperial City Secretary. Come, everyone, get to know each other!"

He Yong stepped forward and bowed to all the officials and soldiers.

"See He Sicheng!"

He Yongdao: "I just want to say a few words, which are also two requirements! First, no matter what you did in the past, and which yamen you worked in, from now on, you are not allowed to disclose any information in the Imperial City Division to the outside world, including Your family members, former friends and colleagues! Otherwise, you will be regarded as an inner ghost and dismissed for investigation! Second, whether you are an official, official, or soldier, when your boss gives orders, you must obey them and not obey them Treat him as a bandit! Do you understand?"

All the officials looked at each other and bowed together: "No!"

Zhao Ping watched from the side and nodded secretly, this He Yong really had a hand, he entered the yamen alone with an unfamiliar place, and subdued these officials and soldiers with a few words.

"Every house owner stays for business, everyone else disperses, and everyone returns to their duties!"

Under He Yong's order, all the officials and soldiers will disperse one after another.

He Yong glanced at the owners of the houses left behind and asked, "What case is the Yamen handling now?"

Liu Gui, the head of the inspector's house, stood up and bowed and replied: "Return to Sicheng, the inspector's house is ordered to monitor the envoys of all countries!"

"Whose order is this? Is it an order from the admiral?" He Yong asked, and looked at Zhao Ping after speaking.

Zhao Ping said: "When I took over the Imperial City Division, the investigative room was already doing this!"

Liu Gui replied: "This task was transferred from the Black Guards. It existed before the establishment of the Imperial City Division. The task is an order personally issued by Commander Lu of the Black Guards!"

"What did the detective room find?"

Liu Gui said: "Judging from the current monitoring situation, the envoys of various countries have contacted and made friends with the high officials of our court, but the envoys of Shanshan and the envoys of the female country are the most frequent! In the past month, Shanshan The good envoy, Princess Mantudalin, contacted six court officials in a row, including five times with Li Yuande, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yuande, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and..."

"The female envoy Mo Ma and her accompanying officials have contacted a lot of officials from the Ministry of Industry and officials who will serve as prisons. It is strange that they have bought a lot of books on the market. It is said that they do not even have written words, nor Knowing me, Chaowen, what are you doing to buy these many books? This makes the subordinates very puzzled!"

He Yong stroked his long beard and asked again: "Can you find out the content of the conversation when the envoys of various countries contacted our court officials?"

"Si Cheng is embarrassing my subordinates. The subordinates are not so capable, let alone clairvoyance and ear!"

He Yong turned around and saluted Zhao Pingping and said: "My lord, if we want to perform our duties, the Imperial City Secretary must try to make advance arrangements for the enemy's secret operations and assassin's actions. This requires us to receive relevant information in advance, and wait for them to start. If we act and cause damage, then it will be too late to act again, and we will become passive. However, our Imperial City Division has just been established, and our ability to collect information is relatively poor. The subordinates thought that we still need to cooperate closely with the Black Guards. They are the yamen responsible for collecting intelligence news, and they are definitely much stronger than us in terms of intelligence collection, and they are directly responsible to the emperor. Generally, the news that needs to be reported to the emperor is of great importance. They will bother the emperor, but that doesn't mean they will ignore the news, we can ask for the news and find the clues we need!"

Zhao Ping nodded: "You have a good idea! Okay, I will discuss this matter with Commander Lu of the Black Clothes Guard! He Sicheng, you only take care of your case, and I will provide you with all logistical support. If you want money and give money, if you encounter an official problem and you need to mediate it, these are not problems, the official only needs to solve the case!"

He Yong cupped his hands in a deep bow and stepped back.

Southwest of Chang'an City, Faye Temple.

In a meditation room smoked with sandalwood, Princess Mantudalin, dressed as a man's entourage, and Fahu, an eminent monk from India, sat facing each other, with a low table between them, with teapots and cups placed on it.

The guardian half-closed his eyes, holding a prayer bead in his hand and muttering scriptures in a low voice.

After a long time, Fahu stopped, opened his eyes and said, "You have been acting too frequently recently. The poor monk thinks you should restrain yourself. I heard that the Qian Kingdom court recently established a new yamen called Huangchengsi. This yamen is affiliated with Under the Ministry of Punishment, but in fact, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment, handle the case alone, and deal with the infiltration and sabotage of external forces! You have been targeted by them!"

Mantutulin put down his teacup and said, "I've noticed that someone was following me, but I didn't know it was from the Imperial City Division!"

"You didn't attack those who were following you, did you?"

Mantutorin asked back: "Do you think I would be stupid enough to think that this is the Shanshan Kingdom that can do whatever it wants? I want to take my time too, but Shanshan Kingdom's time is really running out. General Gao Jinzhi of the Gan Kingdom has led his army into Hexi, and it is very soon." We will arrive in Dunhuang soon, and once Gao Jinzhi's army is ready to enter the desert, the people of Shanshan will not be far from being destroyed!"

Speaking of this, Mantutulin's face became gloomy, "At most half a month, we must win over several senior officials of the Qian Kingdom court to jointly propose to the emperor to cancel the plan to dethrone the Shanshan royal family! The country garrisons can even provide military expenses, but the royal family cannot be deposed! If not, I can only use the second method!"

Fahu's face changed, "What do you want to do? The poor monk reminds you, don't act recklessly. Whether your second method succeeds or not, it will inevitably cause people to die and blood to flow into rivers!"

"If my country doesn't exist anymore, why should I care whether other people die or not?" Mantudolin asked sharply.

Dharma protector clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, even if the royal family of Shanshan no longer exists, at least the people of Shanshan can still live on. You can't let them fall into eternal doom! You are the eldest princess of Shanshan, and you have to do it for your people. Responsible!"

Chapter 805 Undercurrent

Mantutulin glanced at Fahu, and said: "Of course I don't want to take this step unless it is absolutely necessary! Now I have successfully persuaded Yan Wuwei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Huang Dezhong, Minister of Taichang, Wei Wan, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Industry Zhang Bonian, Minister of the Young Mansion Yang Wansi, if we can convince Zhongshu Shilang and Li Yuande, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, we will be able to let them jointly write a letter!"

The Dharma Guardian raised his eyes to look at the Mantutulin again, "You just used charms to confuse them, not to persuade them! Princess, the poor monk always thinks that you are walking on the sword, something will happen sooner or later! The poor monk doesn't believe you With such frequent contact with important officials of the Qian State court, the relevant yamen of the Qian State will not notice your actions!"

Mantutorin was very confident, "Even if they know, so what? I am an envoy of the Shanshan Kingdom, and I did not break the law in Chang'an. I just went to eat, drink, and chat with those ministers. I didn't do anything else. , the Imperial City Secretary can't arrest me just because of this, can he?"
