After leaving the court, Yongmenzhen was about to go to the Prince's Mansion quickly, but before he could get down the steps, he was stopped by someone. When Yongmenzhen turned around, he saw that it was the eunuch beside the emperor.

"Master Yongmen, the emperor has a decree to send you to the imperial study room to meet him."

After Yongmenzhen heard this, he quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, I'll go right away."

After following the eunuch to the imperial study, Yongmen Zhen found the emperor standing with his back to the door before he entered.

"Your Majesty, Yongmenzhen, is here to see the Emperor. Long live my Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

When the emperor heard the sound, he turned around and saw that it was the Yongmen earthquake. He smiled and said, "I love you in Yongmen. There is no need to be polite. Please get up quickly."

After Yongmenzhen stood up, the emperor gave him a seat and ordered him to be given tea.

"My dear Yongmen, I'm not looking for anyone else today, just the two of us. I haven't talked to you for a long time. How about we have a heart-to-heart talk today?" the emperor said with a smile.

"It is my blessing to be taught by the emperor," Yongmen Zhen said.

"My dear Yongmen, you have been a veteran of two dynasties. When the late emperor was still alive, he always told me that you were not only talented and knowledgeable, but also proficient in strategy and a talented person in governing the country."

Not only was Yongmen Zhen not at all happy when the emperor praised him like this, but he was actually a little scared.

Generally speaking, if the emperor first praises you mindlessly after summoning you, it means that he will then start to question you, or arrange some hard work for you.

"Your Majesty, I dare not take credit for myself. The late Emperor's grace is so great that I feel ashamed!" Yongmen Zhen knelt down quickly and said.

"Hey, why are you kneeling down? I already told you that today we are not talking between monarchs and ministers, but just friends. We don't need these rituals." The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Yongmenzhen to sit down.

"My dear, I won't follow you in circles anymore. Today in the court, Zhao Weixian said that you have been in contact with people from Hanye Valley. Is this the case?"

After hearing this, Yongmen Zhen knew that the key was coming.

"Reporting to your Majesty, this is indeed the case. I know the young master of Hanye Valley, Chi Zhongtian." Yongmen replied shockedly.

"Ai Qing, do you have a good relationship with Jin Chi from Yanyuntang?"

The emperor suddenly said this, even though his face was still smiling, Yongmen Zhen still shuddered when he saw it.

"This...this is...back to the emperor, I am friends with Jin Chi from Yanyuntang."

Since the emperor already knows, it is better to admit it openly. Anyway, it is not a fatal matter. There are not a few ministers in the court who have friendship with Jin Chi.

"Ai Qing, you are straightforward, unlike some people who are hesitant. In fact, there is nothing wrong with people in the martial arts world. As long as they do not harm the people, I have always been too lazy to care about them. And sometimes, I can still use them. It's just that these people in the martial arts world are

, there are also some young people."

When Yongmen Zhen heard this, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I dare to use my head as a guarantee. Whether it is Jin Chi or Chi Zhongtian, they are by no means young people. On the contrary... they can be called heroes!"

The emperor laughed and said: "You don't have to say that, my dear, I'm just asking you casually. In fact, when I went to court just now, I wanted to ask you in person, but I was afraid of losing your face, so I asked you now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern for me."

"Aiqing, do you know Hanye Valley or Yanyuntang? I don't care and I won't ask. I believe Aiqing on this point, but I just want to remind Aiqing that if they are really talents, Aiqing

You can introduce them to work for the imperial court."

"Ah!" Yongmen Zhen never expected that the emperor would say such a sentence.

"My dear, this period is a time of trouble. The foreign countries from all over the country are ready to move and plot against our kingdom. I thought that if these people from the martial arts world could be gathered together to form an army, it would be invincible and capable of fighting.

gram!"

After the emperor finished speaking, Yongmen Zhen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't you always dislike the involvement of the imperial court and martial arts?"

"That was before, but now I have thought about it. People in the martial arts world are also human beings and my people. They also have the responsibility to defend the territory."

"Your Majesty, what are your plans?" Yongmen Zhen asked next.

The emperor smiled and said: "I won't embarrass them. Aren't there many sects? Just like this, people will be selected according to the size of the sect. For every large sect, fifty will be sent out, and for every small sect, thirty will be sent out. In this way, the court will

With a powerful army, these sects will not be hurt. They are just missing dozens of disciples. As for what to do or what to do, I have already said that I don’t care about martial arts matters.

As long as the territory is not endangered, let them go."

After hearing this, Yongmen Zhen thought for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty is wise, this matter is indeed feasible!"

"Of course, I will not let their efforts go in vain. The court will provide some compensation based on the number of people."

I have to say that the emperor's idea is quite good.

The imperial court really needs a powerful army. Just imagine, if some people with high martial arts skills form an army, the combat effectiveness can be imagined, which is far beyond what ordinary sergeants can match. But on the other side of the martial arts world, it is just a sect.

There are only dozens of disciples missing, and the court will compensate them.

"Your Majesty, when are you going to issue the decree?" Yongmen Zhen asked.

"Don't worry, I still have to consider the choice of commander and the number of people. After all, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these people also need to be provided by the court, and I will have to convene all the ministers to discuss it."

"Your Majesty, is there anything that I need to do?" Yongmen Zhen knew that the emperor had asked him to come, firstly to give him a wake-up call, and secondly, because there was something for him to do, and it was absolutely impossible to just have a heart-to-heart talk.

"Yongmen Aiqing is really thoughtful. Let me tell you straight. Yanyuntang in the capital is also a major sect in the martial arts world. Go and talk to them. Of course, I have higher requirements for them and let them go out.

One hundred disciples, plus... two hundred thousand taels of gold!"

"Ahem!" Yongmen Zhen almost choked on his saliva.

"Your Majesty, isn't this right? It's okay to have one hundred disciples, but two hundred thousand taels of gold... isn't it too much?" Yongmen Zhen said worriedly.

"Not many. Yanyuntang has opened escort agencies all over the capital. The business of each escort agency is very good, and they also have business in other places. I heard that the station built by Yanyuntang is no smaller than my back garden. Besides, last time they

Although Yanyuntang was found to be unjustly accused of selling illegal salt, I can tell you that I still feel uncomfortable."
