At the beginning of the founding of Daxia, the Shadow Guard had not yet been formed.
Starting from the current emperor and moving forward, the two people started to form the shadow guard only when his grandfather was in power.
The original intention of forming the Shadow Guard was to rectify corruption in the court and officialdom. Unfortunately, although the beginning was good, the process was greatly hindered.
The reigning emperor was angry and helpless. Gradually, although the Shadow Guards were still there, they were in name only and did not play their due role, which led to the serious corruption in officialdom today.
Although the Shadow Guard was neutral, its status declined again and again, and finally it became a department that officials were not afraid of.
General Yunqi Liu Quan is among the Shadow Guards, and by chance, he is now the head of the Shadow Guards.
When Wang Yi was still a soldier, his life was saved by Liu Quan. On this day, as usual, he was drinking and having fun with a group of colleagues in the shadow guard's office. Suddenly, one of his subordinates came in and reported to him that someone was looking for him.
Wang Yi was surprised that someone would come to the shadow guard, a place that was so quiet.
"Just let him in. Come on, let's continue drinking."
"Master Wang is so elegant."
Before Wang Yi could finish his glass of wine, Lu Feng's voice sounded from outside the door.
When Wang Yi looked for the reputation, he saw the person coming with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a majestic and majestic figure, and an extraordinary momentum of dragon walking and tiger walking. After all, he was also a Mahayana warrior, so he could tell that Lu Feng possessed martial arts.
"I don't know what to call you?" Wang Yi stood up and clasped his fists.
"My surname is Lu." As he spoke, Lu Feng took out Concubine Liu's token from his wide cuffs.
Seeing this token, Wang Yi's drunkenness immediately dissipated. He took it and inspected it carefully to make sure it was not a counterfeit before returning it to Lu Feng.
"You guys go out first." Wang Yi asked the others in the room to exit and welcomed Lu Feng to his seat.
"A small glass of wine, I hope you don't mind it."
Lu Feng didn't show any pretense, he picked up the big bowl and drank the wine in a few slurps.
"Okay!" Wang Yi looked at Lu Feng with a little more approval.
"I didn't come here today just to have a drink with Mr. Wang." Lu Feng said with a smile.
"May I ask what your orders are?"
"I just want Mr. Wang to do his duty well."
As soon as Lu Feng said these words, Wang Yi burst into laughter.
"Master Lu looks so young, full of ambition and passion. Wang feels the same way. Is it possible that the imperial concubine doesn't know how serious the officialdom is today?"
"My Majesty, I must know that, so I want to do my best for Your Majesty and worry about the country."
Speaking of the emperor, Wang Yi's face darkened.
"Master Lu, are you still naive enough to think that the court is still the same court?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lu Feng knew that he was referring to Queen Mother He.
"I am a warrior, and I am not afraid of being heard. Now everyone knows that Your Majesty has no way to save himself, and the Queen Mother wants to seize power. No matter how hard she tries, she is just making wedding clothes for others. I have already planned to stay in this shadow guard. Just messing around.”
"And it's not certain that Daxia will be annexed by foreign tribes due to various problems one day. Therefore, Mr. Lu told the noble concubine on behalf of the official that it's not that Wang Yi doesn't want to do his best, but that no matter what he does, it will be in vain."
Lu Feng listened to Wang Yi's words quietly without saying anything to refute.
He grabbed a handful of peanuts from the table and ate them while peeling them.
Wang Yi also thought about what Lu Feng could say, but after finishing this handful, Lu Feng wanted to eat the next one.
"Master Lu, do you have any high opinions?"
"Me? Takami doesn't, but I still have some personal opinions."
"Then let's talk and listen."
"I understand what Mr. Wang is thinking, but Mr. Wang seems to be over the top."
"I would like to hear the details." Wang Yi sat casually, wanting to see what truth Lu Feng could say.
"Master Wang now feels that he has no hope for the entire country because of the corruption of the imperial court and the Queen Mother's seizure of power. Master Wang has a passion to serve the country, but I think you have mistaken the goal you want to be loyal to from the beginning."
Seeing that Wang Yi was unmoved, Lu Feng continued:
"Every official manages the place and does his or her best to serve the court. Do you think these are all for the sake of being responsible to His Majesty?"
"if not?"
"Every time Your Majesty handles government affairs, do you think you are responsible for where you sit?"
"It's right to do what you do in your position and fulfill your duties." Wang Yi said.
Lu Feng did not agree with his point of view, "No, in my opinion, they are all responsible for the hard-earned world and the people of this world. Although Mr. Wang just said it lightly, when foreigners really invade our country, In the land of Xia, I wonder if Mr. Wang will feel regret and shame because of his words today and his inaction today and even in the future?"
"The real fall of Daxia was not the so-called seizure of power, but rather the foreign invasion caused by internal and external troubles. If that day really comes, Mr. Wang may have a share of 'credit' in it."
Hearing this, Wang's face fell as deep as water, and he stared at the empty wine bowl on the table in silence.
After a while, Wang Yi spoke again, "Which prince does the imperial concubine support?"
"Third Prince Qin Feng."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Yi sneered again and again, "If it weren't for my fault, these princes of your majesty might have done more harm to the country than your majesty, especially this third prince."
Lu Feng waved his hand, "My Majesty has her own arrangements in this regard. All Mr. Wang has to do now is to fulfill his duties."
"Yes, but there is a problem. It is difficult to find an honest person among hundreds of officials. It is easy to investigate corruption, but without a target, you are like a headless fly."
"The Imperial Concubine has already thought about this issue."
After that, Lu Feng took out a list and handed it to Wang Yi.
Among the officials recorded above, some are from the Queen's camp, and some are from the Queen Mother He's camp.
"Mr. Wang, you investigate according to the list above. Remember, don't alert the enemy. Your Majesty just wants to have the evidence."
Wang Yi glanced at the list above and said, "Okay, it's time for the Shadow Guard to get active. There are always so many people who forget that Daxia still exists."
After the discussion, Lu Feng bid farewell to Wang Yi and returned to the palace from the Shadow Guard.
While walking back to Concubine Liu's palace, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned left at this fork in the road and walked straight to Concubine Zhou Shu's residence.
Strangely enough, the first time he saw this woman, he thought she was extremely beautiful. The second time he saw her weak and helpless appearance, he felt the urge to protect this delicate flower.
"I don't know if this woman's foot injury has healed."
Soon, Lu Feng walked to Concubine Zhou Shu's residence.
Knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Lu Feng tried to open the door, but it was unlocked and opened easily.
