He Shen

The fifth elder brother was secretly angry.

He wanted to see his own father, but was blocked by Fu Kang'an with an oracle.Let him make excuses and intercede with one sentence, "The emperor has a decree, and no one should disturb him."

if not...

if not...

The fifth elder brother clenched his fists fiercely, holding back his bad breath.

The Fucha family was different for Qianlong. Although Empress Xiaoxian passed away many years ago, Qianlong still missed her from time to time.

This Fukang'an was brought to the palace by Qianlong to raise him since he was a child, and he loved him like a parent and child.Even the empress dowager, when talking about Fukang'an, she was all smiles and praised again and again.

Too arrogant.The fifth elder brother gritted his teeth and tried his best to control his emotions.

No matter how good and noble Empress Xiaoxian is, she is the one who went there.

The remaining princes have no blood relationship with the Fucha family, and he, the only prince among the princes who lives in Jingyang Palace, is the most honored, no one in the palace will give him three points of favor.

Fifth elder brother swallowed this bad breath, but thought that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

When the fifth elder brother was blocked, Fu Erkang couldn't see it, so he stood up and spoke out.

Fukang'an sneered, if you like to communicate, you can communicate. Anyway, I stopped you, so I can't interrupt your dog legs.

Not long after, Fu Kang'an saw Fu Erkang coming out with his nostrils upturned, glanced at Fu Kang'an contemptuously, and then asked the fifth elder brother to go in, and then drifted away.

Fukangan called him, "Where are you going, this is on duty!" The veins on his forehead were throbbing, why did he smell so bad every time, and he was on duty with this [-]?

"The emperor ordered me to go to the fifth elder brother's errand in the future."

Fukang'an was stunned for a moment, this annoying guy is going to walk?

Hehe, I'm jealous.Fulkang glanced at Fukang'an, proudly went to the head of the department to go through the handover procedures.

Fu Erkang left, and Fu Kang'an felt that the air was a bit refreshed. After a while, the fifth elder brother came out with joy on his face. With the upper hook, three points of coldness, three points of sarcasm, and three points of sarcasm, he walked away proudly.

No matter how noble you are, can you compare with elder brother Huang?How about it, no matter how much Elder Brother Huang spoils you, he is just a gatekeeper.

Fu Erkang slapped his ass and left without professional ethics. Fu Kang'an couldn't be left alone to guard the gate.

Immediately the substitute came, and with a smile in his eyes, Buyandalai stood on the other side, blinking narrowly at Fukang'an: It's really you who finally got that guy away.

Fukang'an smiled: No, he wanted to die by himself.

Since the beginning, the emperor has given guards to the prince to show his favor, but those who are given to the prince by the outside class or the errands in the remote palace, it is estimated that they will be more psychologically balanced. The future is not very bright. Following the prince is the prince's disciple. , In the future, I can use my strength to find an external errand or something.

Like Fu Erkang, after a lot of trouble, smoke was rising from the grave of his ancestors, and he was ordered to be a member of the imperial court. Haha, he was rewarded as the fifth elder brother!

Fukang'an snickered in his heart, okay, all of you brothers go to Jingyang Palace to reunite.

As for whether the fifth elder brother will be the prince and then the emperor's business, Fu Kang'an sneered, the emperor is only in his early fifties now, and he is in good health.Although the fifth elder brother in the palace is favored, the first son of the middle palace is even more honorable.Whoever wins or loses is a matter of debate. Their Fucha family is deeply favored by the emperor. If they step on two boats at this time, they will fall into the water and drown.

After noon, when it was time to change the value, Buyandalai was pulled by his brother to rescue him, and after a few words with the changing guard, he went out with Fukang'an.

On the way, I couldn't help laughing, "Our brothers in Quanshi must think of you." How did you get those two idiots away?Say it.Curious.

Buyan Dalai, Zhengbaiqi, old surname Niu Hulu.

Speaking of which, his family is really related to the empress dowager. A few years ago, we all had a common ancestor: one of the five founding ministers of Manchuria, the No. 1 general of the Empress Jin Dynasty, and Batulu Eyidu.

However, the empress dowager's family is not as strong as Buyandalai's family.The same is true now.

In layman's terms, the empress dowager's natal family is just a side branch of the Niu Hulu family. For example, in the past, it also came from the Niu Hulu family. The daughter of Buyan Dalai's great-grandfather Ye Bilong entered the palace and became the imperial concubine. Queen Zhaoren.The other daughter is also the imperial concubine Wenxi, who gave birth to a disgusting character-the holy ancestor ten princes.

And when the empress dowager was given to Prince Yong's mansion in the first draft, she was only the lowest grade, not even a concubine.

Although now the Empress Dowager's natal family was able to bestow the first-class Duke Cheng En, and received the hereditary leader.But to be honest, that family really didn't have any outstanding characters.

Like Buyan Dalai, not to mention his family's prominent ancestors, even now, his father Ali Gun is on duty in the military aircraft, and is also the secretary of the household department, the prince's Taibao, the co-organizer of the university, and the imperial minister.Not to mention those relatives in his family who were dying.

This person's family history is extensive and his backstage is so powerful that even the Fucha family has to be courteous.

Fukangan smiled, "Who knows. A rabbit with no eyes bumped into a bright wooden pile in front of it. It was God's will."

"God's will." Chewing these two words, Buyandala looked at the blue sky and white sun, a knowing smile appeared on Yuanyuan's face.

"It's not your class today, why did you come into the palace?"

"Send my mother-in-law into the palace to greet the Empress Dowager."

This family has always been sharp-eyed and quick-witted. During the Yongzheng period, because Niu Hulu's family had two famous die-hard "eighth masters"--Ten Age (nephew of Niu Hulu's family) and Ah Ling, they were very proud of him. Yongzheng was disgusted for a while.

But Yongzheng didn't give up on his family. Niuhulu's family is the eight most common surnames in Manchuria, among other things, there are many people.Even if Yongzheng didn't like it, he couldn't use people with the surname Niu Hulu. As long as you use it, well, it's more or less related to this family.

Therefore, even if he was depressed, Yongzheng endured it.

At the time of Yongzheng, Niu Hulu's family also had a difficult time, but they quickly got in touch with the empress dowager's father, the fourth-rank ceremonial officer Ling Zhu, and they helped the fourth elder brother, Hongli, overtly and secretly.

As soon as Hongli came to power, it was amazing. From the merit of the dragon's support, at that time, Yongzheng went underground to accompany the holy grandfather, and Niu Hulu's family patted the dust on their bodies and stood up vigorously.

It's not good to be close to the empress dowager, it was a family 800 years ago.

Buyan Dalai sent a letter to Fu Kang'an, "The emperor ordered Tan Hualang to be a bodyguard. I heard that he was going to be assigned to the inner class. I guess it's us. Is that guy free? seat out."

Fukang'an was taken aback, "Can't Tanhua go to Hanlin?"

"Who knows, God's will." Bu Yanda raised his eyebrows, imitating Fu Kang'an's tone just now, and smiled, "I don't know if Tanhua can hold the knife and gun steadily. My brother is worrying about this matter Woolen cloth."

His elder brother Feng Sheng was the chief of the imperial guards.

Originally, there were rules for being an official, and brothers, fathers and sons had to avoid them, but Qianlong insisted on not following the rules. He saw that the family was pleasing to the eye, and he specifically pointed Buyan Dalai to Feng Sheng's thing. It sounds nice, " Seeing that you are young, follow your brother, don't be bullied, just ask him if you have anything to do."

Fukang'an was very happy when he heard that Shanbao was ordered to be a guard. In the future, he will be on duty with Shanbao, tsk tsk, it is like a fairy's career as a guard.He also pretended to be calm and asked, "What are you worried about? Why are you jealous if you don't know anything else?"

"You can really say that I was supposed to be editing books and writing essays, but I changed to dancing spears and getting good at it. My second aunt's cousin can study well, let alone boxing, and standing in the sun for a while will cause a minor illness. "Bu Yandalai whispered, "In fact, we don't have any requirements for this job, just be obedient and in good health. It's no problem for us to stand for two hours. Tanhualang..." I'm not sure.

Fukang'an said, "How are people the same? Shanbao also came from Xian'an Palace. Don't worry, he's not bad at riding and shooting."

Buyan Darai immediately woke up, "Why, you know Tan Hua Lang very well?" Fortunately, he didn't speak ill of him just now.

"I also studied in Xian'an Palace."

"You're right, that's because you have some skills." Buyan Dalai still admired Fukan'an's riding and shooting, and said with a smile, "In this case, it's really a good thing, let me tell my brother to save him from trouble again. "The ability to change faces is genetic.

Buyandalai's brother, Fengsheng, had nothing to do with the trouble, it was their brother's father, Lord Ali Gon, who did the trouble.

Ali Gun told Sochoro Lin Zhuo, "In addition to the bodyguard uniforms, there are also bodyguard waist badges and sabers. Mr. Lin has read a lot of books. What kind of specifications do you need for a seventh-rank imperial guard? You can ask the people below to discuss it. Long live Lord order At the end of the day, we have to be ready. In five or six days, Yujia will have to drive in Rehe, accompanied by the imperial guards, and Wansui has ordered Tanhualang, so we have to be more carefree. Get things done."

At this moment, it fully demonstrates the flexibility of officials' work efficiency.

He Tara Lin Zhuo took out the specifications of the seventh-rank imperial guards one should serve the belt saber on the second day. Qianlong glanced at it and snorted coldly, "Why did you get rid of Chaozhu? Hey, there will be only one on duty at that time." Without Chaozhu, it must be different, right?"

"Slave is stupid."

"You are stupid enough, plus Chaozhu. Just make a little difference in the clothes. Why is the saber three inches shorter? The saber is used to protect the driver, and you dare to change the things of the driver at will!"

He La Lin Zhuo turned in cold sweat and turned pale under Qianlong's pickiness, and ordered to go down, and hurry up to make clothes and waist tags.

Shanbao felt that there was an earthquake.

He was stunned by Qianlong's convulsions one after another.

bang——

His father's title was knocked down, of course, this should have been taken by him in the first place.However, when his father passed away, no one was willing to stand up for him, and he missed the best opportunity to become a nobleman. According to the rules, he had to be granted the title when he was an adult.

I don't know who reminded Qianlong, and now he bestowed the title.

This is just the first shock.

Then the second shock was more ferocious.

What, he's going to be a royal guard?

Or super?Super low grade!

Never before in history, appointed by the Holy Majesty, a seventh-rank imperial guard!

One level lower than the lowest rank of Lan Ling guards in the palace?

Your Majesty, are you sure you are flattering me?

Shanbao muttered to himself ignorantly and suspiciously, Junbao had already got up from the ground, and asked the eunuch to go to the small hall to have tea, and Shanbao naturally followed.

Jun Bao smiled and said, "Your kindness is as deep as the sea, and the slaves are so grateful." The servant served tea, and Shan Bao handed a cup to the eunuch who delivered the decree. .”

Shanbao smiled, "Elder-in-law is too polite." Sitting under his uncle, Shanbao showed a small shy smile, with doubts on his face, "As usual, I am just a flower collector, and I am an editor of the Seventh Rank of the Imperial Academy. To be honest, I was both surprised and happy."

The eunuch delivering the decree is also one of the most famous in the palace. Knowing that this Tanhualang is a bit of a favorite, he uses the tea cover to pull the floating leaves in the cup and smiles, "This is the grace of the Long Live God. Tanhualang just accepts it. The imperial court The bodyguards have always been selected from the upper three banners, and the imperial ministers are in charge. The Holy Majesty made an exception for his promotion, which is an unexpected blessing."

Shanbao was finally slightly relieved that the eunuch who passed the decree could not stay for long. After a while, Liu Wei came in with a tray in his hand. Inside was a purse embroidered with hibiscus and a few small things.

The eunuch who passed the decree smiled even deeper, thanked and left with crooked eyes.

Junbao took Shanbao and sent him to the gate.

Turning back to the house, Jun Bao said, "This is a good thing. Usually, the lowest class in the Qianqing Palace is the third-class guard, which is the fifth-rank official position. Tanhua is awarded the seventh-rank editing as usual. The Holy One has the heart to praise you, but he can't let you at the beginning. The grade surpasses the No. [-] and No. [-].”

Of course it's a good thing.

Junbao thought very clearly.

What does being an official depend on?Rely on the trust of the emperor.

Among you, Tanhua spends all day compiling books in the Hanlin Academy, where there are all Han Chinese, and we are not familiar with them.Looking at the way old man Liu behaved before, he seemed to be crowded with people.It's really a credit, I'm afraid that people won't report it to you, and it's hard to keep it from others.

It is difficult to get ahead in the Hanlin Academy.

Being a bodyguard is different, especially the bodyguard of the Qing Palace, haha...

That's really the emperor's personal bodyguard, you can follow the emperor wherever he goes, you might not be able to get acquainted with him.

When Han people become officials, most of them enter the Hanlin through the imperial examination, and enter the cabinet from the Hanlin.

The Manchus were different. The Manchus were not good at imperial examinations, and there were many ways to become officials: for example, the common officials became officials;

Among them, the official of the inner government and the official of the mansion are aimed at the bannermen.

When a bannerman becomes an official, he will go to the military camp to serve as a soldier. Not to mention hard work, he must have a backer in the army, otherwise it will not be easy to climb up.That's how Junbao became an official back then, and he narrowly escaped death.

The best way to become an official is to become an official. There are two ways, being selected as the imperial guard and taking the examination.

Among them, the pen post style is a scribe in the sixth department, with an extremely low grade, including seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, but the promotion is rapid, and it is a road to promotion.

But the one most favored and yearned by the bannermen is the origin of the imperial guard.It is close to the emperor, and the rank is also from the sixth rank, and the rewards are generous every festival.

Although Shanbao is the lowest-ranked bodyguard in history, it doesn't matter. He has never been hired as a bodyguard in history.

Most of the imperial guards are descendants of the upper three banners, and very few under the five banners. Selection criteria: good background and strong background.

Before the guard became an official, Jun Bao never dared to think about it.

Manchurian generals sent out guards.From a distance, Suo Etu and Mingzhu, the two prime ministers of the Holy Ancestor, both served as imperial bodyguards; from a close point of view, Master Fu Heng and Ali Gun from the Military Aircraft Department were both former imperial bodyguards.

Holding Shanbao's hand, Junbao was ecstatic, swallowed fiercely, and pulled Shanbao to the ancestral hall, "Go, let me tell you the good news first."

Jiabao murmured to Fubao, "With big brother's punches, he can also be an imperial guard?" For the first time, Jiabao questioned the quality of Ouchi's guards.

Fubao whispered, "Brother is Tanhua." He didn't have much confidence.

Xueya said crisply, "It's really stupid. Although the elder brother's fists are not as good as Amma's, he must be a master among the nerds in the Imperial Academy. The imperial guards, it sounds good, hmph, they must be like you two. He is a deadly brat, but the elder brother is a dignified figure. Think about it, in terms of martial arts, the elder brother is better than the Imperial Academy; in terms of talent and learning, he is far superior to those guards. Comparing these two, why can't the elder brother be a guard? "

That's right, big girl, these days people pay attention to comprehensive strength.

Dong E's family began to be busy with taking good care of the car.

Shanbao has only one guard, and he can only bring a boy to serve him.

Who to choose?

You have to be ingenious, not to mention anything else, braiding is a big project.In addition, for laundry, mending, etc., the boy also needs to come.

You also need to know how to advance and retreat.Those who can drive along are not ordinary people, so don't be a fool, you will lose the owner's face, it will be easier to offend others, and you will cause trouble for Shanbao.

The clothes to bring, the pills to use, there are many mosquitoes in summer, and peppermint oil should be prepared...

Although the decree was received, the new guard had to enter the guard's office, and there were still many procedures to go through.It needs to be verified by the leader of the banner, the deputy governor, and the governor of the banner, and the documents will be issued immediately, and then reported to the guard camp.

These things have been handed over to the big housekeeper Liu Wei. Shanbao first went to Fucha's house to ask Fu Kang'an for some advice, and then entered the palace with the identity documents, first went to the former imperial minister Ali Gun to pay his respects, go through the registration procedures, and received the waist badge , waiting to arrange errands.

It was the first time that Ali Gon saw Shanbao.

Shanbao is 15 years old. He is neither tall nor short among his peers. He is of average appearance.Slightly thin, fair skin, needless to say appearance, red lips and white teeth, in recent years it has become smooth and smooth, the skin is tender, and there is a faint pink on the cheeks.The corners of her lips are slightly raised, and she smiles before saying anything, which is very cute.

This looks better too.Ali Gun thought to himself, and said in a gentle voice, "You were hand-picked by Long Live, do your job well, and don't disappoint the grace of God."

After sending Shanbao away, Ali Gon wondered, could it be that the reason for Long Live was to see that this boy was born well before he was ordered to the imperial court?

Of Ali Gun's four sons, the eldest son, Feng Sheng, has long been a bodyguard. With him as the father of the military aircraft department, his promotion is also fast.Feng Sheng was meticulous in his work, and Qianlong also liked his thoughtfulness.The second son and the third son also made up the bodyguards. It had been several years, and they were still in the third class, and the palace where they were serving was not good.

When it came to the fourth son, Buyan Dalai, this kid was purely lucky. He went to Fucha's house to play with Fu Kang'an, and met Qianlong who was visiting his brother-in-law privately in a micro-service.When Qianlong asked, heh, it's not an outsider, the kid from Ali Gun's family directly ordered the guards.

It has to be said that there is indeed something called "fate" guiding people's progress in the dark.

Shanbao inquired around, and went to the guards to find Feng Sheng.

The moment Shanbao saw Feng Sheng's forehead, what he was thinking in his mind was almost the same as that of Ali Gon: This looks really good.

If you don't know each other, and if you haven't learned about it beforehand, you will never imagine that Mr. Ali Gon and Mr. Feng Sheng'er are the father and son of the direct relatives.

Ali Gun was tall and tall, with a wide forehead and ring eyes, slightly darker facial features, and a darker complexion. He probably had sunburned during the war. Although he was old, he was still sturdy.

Fengsheng's forehead is not short, but from head to toe, he is handsome and gentle, as gentle as jade.

It can be inferred from this that Lord Ali Gon has a beautiful wife.

Fengsheng asked Shanbao to sit down, and he spoke very kindly, "We are full if you add you, I guess you will come here in a few days, and the clothes reward, saber, and pilgrimage have just been delivered. Seeing that you are still young ,how old are you?"

"Fifteen this year."

"I often hear people mention you, but I haven't seen you. You are really a young man. Speaking of which, we still have the same surname, so there is no need to talk about it. You are one year younger than Buyan Dalai. I guess you can get along with him. I I heard that you and Fu Kang'an are in the same room in Xian'an Palace, so let's be in the same class as him." Feng Sheng'e smiled and pointed to the tea in Shanbao's hand, "Try it, this is the tea I brought from home Yes, the taste is not bad."

Shanbao picked it up to drink, and it was no worse than Fukang's Anjia's. He said with a smile, "Is it this year's Longjing?"

"Isn't it? I finally met someone who knows how to tea." Feng Sheng'e smiled gratifiedly, with a feeling of Boya's childhood, "I usually put it here, and often drink it for those boys who snort. It's a pity that my good tea. With Tell me about the guards. We are all imperial guards. We serve in front of the Lord Long Live. We are on duty for two hours a day. We work for six days and rest for six days. It is not tiring. We are on duty in front of the imperial court, and there are taboos on food and clothing. , you go to ask Fu Kang'an about it. One more thing, you must be strict with your mouth. Also, remember that we are the imperial guards, and we directly obey the emperor and the imperial ministers."

"Yes, I've made a note of my humble position." Shanbao stood up and said.

Seeing that he was cautious, Feng Shenge nodded inwardly, waved his hand, "Sit down. See, you're a sensible person, but I'm just exhorting you in vain."

Feng Sheng'e gave Shanbao some pointers and told him to go home and prepare his belongings.

On the way to Shanbao, I thought about myself, and then I thought about Fukang'an. I was sweating profusely at today's Fengfeng, and my God, although the categories were different, they were all beautiful men.

Could it be that this guard is Qianlong's little harem?

Shanbao shuddered from the cold, and shook his head, no, no, these people are the children of nobles, it is impossible for Qianlong to do such a thing that angers people.

Shanbao sighed, let's take one step at a time.
