Nowadays, family ties of blood are unbreakable, and aristocratic families rely on recommendation to continue their official positions. They appoint people on nepotism and do not promote virtuous people. The strength passed down from generation to generation is evident.
Famous families such as the Langya Wang family and the Qinghe Cui family are not even looked down upon by the emperor. Emperors can change several times in a century, but aristocratic families can continue to survive for hundreds of years.
Members naturally have a sense of belonging to the family. How could they force an elegant and famous official like Father Xie to leave the family and engage in a business that is despised by aristocratic families? This is seriously inconsistent with the current values.
Why not pursue an official career but engage in business?
Taking over someone else's daughter's body, she felt obligated to figure these things out. There is obviously a lot of mystery behind this, so what is the truth?
Knock knock, "Girl."
The door showed a person standing outside with a lantern, and a long silhouette was drawn out, "Is the girl having a nightmare? Do you need to call the doctor to come over and take a look?"
She opened the door and let people in. Xie Yuanju was holding a pot of hot tea in his hand. She watched him make the hot tea and then handed it to her, "Drink some tea to calm down."
The night was hazy, and the man's eyes were as deep as a pool and as cool as the night, gradually overlapping with the paranoid eyes in his dream.
Xie Miaoxuan stared at him closely, suddenly feeling that he had misjudged him again. These were clearly a pair of gentle and affectionate eyes.
"Thank you. Are you on duty tonight?"
Xie Yuanju raised his eyebrows, "Thank you?"
"Um."
After he finished his reply, he took a look at her face, which was cold and white. She was wearing a thin coat, and frowned slightly, "The girl is wearing too little. It's a cold autumn night, and all the boxes and cages have been neatly packed today." , I asked someone to take out the girl’s winter coat.”
Xie Miaoxuan did everything she could. Starting today, she deliberately started to increase her food intake. She wanted to make this paper-like body stronger and gain more fat for the winter, so that she could cope with the troubled times and the upcoming crisis that she didn’t know when. Martial arts career.
In terms of clothes, she doesn't pay too much attention to the minutiae of wearing more or less clothes now.
But he also accepted his kindness.
Thinking that he had been away all year round and should have heard about these things, Xie Miaoxuan asked while rubbing his forehead.
"Have you ever heard of the evil ways of witchcraft and Gu?"
He moved his hands for a moment, lowered his eyes and said, "It is rumored that Miao Jiang has a female as its heir. The bloodline of the past leaders is the purest and the best at using Gu to control people's hearts and destroy people's bodies. In the previous dynasty, someone almost used this method to control people. The palace was subsequently abolished under strict orders, and the lineage of Miao Jiang who was good at Gu disappeared into the mountains and forests, and no trace can be found again."
"When it comes to heresy, very few people call it that now," he frowned, "The girl should be talking about the Mingwang Chan sect. It is said in this sect that powerful people can develop golden elixirs, and those who have achieved great success can make mortal bodies white. The sun is rising. Everyone in the royal family regards him as a model, and has always respected him as the Celestial Master and the Tao of the country. A large person once wrote a letter saying that this was an evil doctrine and should not be believed, but he was ordered to be executed by the emperor. Therefore, no one dares to call him the "evil way". "
Xie Miaoxuan suddenly got goosebumps after hearing this.
Gu insects sound very strange at first sight, burrowing into the skin and sucking people's brains. However, since they now hide in the mountains and forests and don't often walk in front of people, it is difficult to find them, so they are put aside for now.
As for Ming Wang Chan's teaching, which emperor doesn't want to live forever. The True Dragon Emperor is the son of the sky, and naturally he would rather believe in such good things as ascending in the daytime.
If you want to explore the secrets, you will inevitably get involved in royal secrets.
It's just that Xie's father, a son of a declining family, why did he warn Xie Miaoxuan to be wary of these two things before he died?
What is the origin and what unknown secrets are hidden in this?
"Is this the reason for the girl's nightmare?" Xie Miaoxuan could hear the tiredness in his expression.
Changing the topic vaguely, she thought of how he had spent so much time traveling to Kyoto to do work for her during the day, traveling more than a hundred miles in the morning and evening, and staying all night long. She only took a short nap after thinking about it, and with a rare conscience, she realized, "I have nothing to do." Come on, go and have a rest, you have to help me with work during the day, and you must be mentally replenished."
The sleeves of the clothes hanging on his body touched the back of his hand, urging him to rest quickly, "You should find someone else to keep watch."
She didn't brazenly say that she didn't need anyone to keep vigil. Although the manor was now under her control, she had to be on guard against others, and it was always right to be cautious.
He was pushed out of the room by her, and the tips of his ears gradually became bloodshot and turned crimson. Only then did Xie Miaoxuan notice that the distance between the two of them was too close.
His sleeves covered the back of his hands.
My mind couldn't help but change.
It turns out that he is doing this.
Seeing her snickering expression, he coughed lightly, "If you have anything, girl, you can ask me all you want, and I will tell you everything."
"The last question, where is the most famous Taoist temple in Kyoto?"
royal palace.
Inside the towering walls.
Tonight, it was Ao Lei who took the lead in patrolling again. When he arrived at Fengyang Palace, the wind in the hall was strong and cold. It made people's hearts become angry, and the brothers below were all very angry.
Some people couldn't help complaining, "Not only do we have to take over the inspection of the entire imperial city, but now we also have to take care of serving the palace concubines. Boss, as the commander of the guards, you rely on your skills to secure your position. Then Xun Xun only got the position of Lang Zhongling because of the kindness of his ancestors. How can a fair-faced man be allowed to step on our heads to show off his power and give orders?"
"I heard that Xun Xun is now involved in the Imperial Guards and the Northern Army, and Lieutenant Zhi Hong is also complaining."
"Let me tell you, this Xun Xun probably wants to control the entire Forbidden Army. Even if His Majesty is willing to agree, the Taiwei is not willing to agree."
Ao Lei heard this and slapped the man hard on the head, "You and I can guess His Majesty's thoughts!"
The man chuckled and said, "Boss, do you want us to..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Ao Lei narrowed his eyes.
The Forbidden Army was divided into the north and south camps. Originally, the boundaries were clearly defined. The commander of the Forbidden Army, Zhonglang General Shi Chong, only cared about extravagance and fighting for wealth all day long and did not care about the interests of the Forbidden Army. Therefore, the two armies were originally in peace with each other.
The southern army is responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety and guarding the palace, while the northern army is responsible for guarding Kyoto and its surrounding areas.
But since Xun Xun was promoted to the rank of Lang Zhongling of the Southern Army, he transferred all the children of the aristocratic families to serve as personal guards for His Majesty, and also gave rewards to the dandies inside, and all of them had ranks.
They, the Northern Army, were both members of the Imperial Guards. Even though their skills were better than those of those with wine bags and rice bags, because they were from a poor family, they were assigned the task of patrolling, and they were scolded for no reason when they saw those members of the aristocratic family bowing their heads.
They ate delicious food and didn't even give them a mouthful of soup. Naturally, the Confederate army was divided into two, and the two camps became enemies.
Now Xun Xun has actually extended his hand to the Northern Army. If he controls most of the Forbidden Army, he will really leave no way for his brothers to survive.
None of them had to bear the blood and sweat of their whole family in order to join the Forbidden Army. If they didn't leave any trace behind, wouldn't they be forced to do so?
The dog will jump over the wall when he is anxious.
Fortunately, he has taken refuge in that person, and he just needs to finish the errand at hand...
He promised to put him in charge of the entire Custodes.
Thinking of this, Ao Lei's dark face showed an inevitable smile.
He laughed and scolded, "You bastards, what's wrong with the guard ladies? Your fingers are leaking. Are the rewards given to you less?"
He seemed to have thought of something, and said with a deep meaning, "The Lieutenant is already ready to take action, just bear with him for a while longer."
After passing through Chaoyong Lane, today's patrol mission is completed, but we can wait until Yinshi to come out.
At this time, a black shadow was running quickly on the eaves, with a large cloth bag on its shoulder. It seemed to be a human figure, with a heavy center of gravity, and its feet made a rustling sound on the roof.
But that person didn't know how to restrain himself.
It was blatantly like he didn't pay any attention to the patrolling imperial troops below.
