When he woke up early in the morning, the old woman sent by the Ministry of Rites to combed Xu Xuan's hair bun, and finally put the hairpin on Liu Yulai. When the hairpin was inserted, it was officially announced that Xu Xuanzhu had gone from a girl waiting to be a girl who wanted to take care of her husband and children.

However, Liu Yu also understood that Xu Xuanzhu's battle to kill the enemy cannot be considered "waiting for the word "in the boudoir". This is just a ceremony. I just can't figure out how long the "marriage leave" the emperor built for Xu Xuan. When she went back to the border, wouldn't she want the couple to separate the two places? By then, he would become a "military wife" who was eager to see him.

When Xu Xuanzhu stood up smilingly in a pomegranate red mattress dress, she showed off the solemn and gorgeous temperament of the woman. Liu Yu stood up and waited for her to put on makeup and her legs were numb. At this time, she leaned against the table and put on her chest with her hands and looked up and down. "It's not bad." Liu Yu nodded with a smile to express his satisfaction, and took Xu Xuanzhu's hand. They wanted to go to the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion to pay homage to his aunt.

The wedding customs of the Dashun Dynasty were the first person to see the bride on the wedding day, otherwise it would be unlucky. Of course, when we met, we were in the bridal chamber, and it was impossible to come out to salute others. So the next day we went to pay our respects to our parents-in-law and the relatives of the man's family and serve tea in person.

Liu Yu was the first descendant of the Liu family to separate and live alone. This time he returned to the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion, even the servants' faces were much calmer, not as ignorant as before. First of all, they were looking at General Xu's face, and the twelve young masters who were mediocre and now are the general in front of the palace and the right commander of the imperial guards.

However, Liu Yu's father and a few nominal mothers looked bad. They waited for a while before waiting for the tea. The tea was obviously not much in their minds. However, when it was Liu Jue's turn, Liu Jue's face was filled with joy and excitement. For these two brothers who had been supporting each other since childhood, the brother's coming-of-age ceremony was what she wanted to see the most. However, Xiao Cao Zhan looked up and looked at it a little confused. Why did his mother smile and wipe her tears when his uncle gave her tea to her mother.

The family ate together again, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit depressing. Only the elder brother Liu He, who had always been pretty good, said a few polite words to Liu He. Xu Xuanzhu also felt that Liu Yu seemed unwelcome to him at home. After breakfast, the couple went back home and did not stay in the Marquis of Dingguo for a long time.

Liu Yu was worried about marrying the Han sisters into the house, so he went to the Han Mansion to ask for a few times. He waited in the Han Mansion for an afternoon the next day, but Han Sheng did not go home. Liu Yu didn't know what his old friend was busy with.

The Xu family is no longer alone, but the etiquette of "returning to the door for three dynasties" must be followed. On the morning of the third day after the marriage, facing Chaoyang, the couple had to stay in Xu's mansion for a temporary stay. However, this day happened to be the day when Liu Yu went to the Imperial Army Office to report to Xu's mansion. Liu Yu wanted to leave for the palace under the escort of Lu Chu'er and several daughters' military guards.

Liu Yu, who had been idle for a year, seemed to be tied up in the execution ground. When he arrived at Yuhua Gate, Liu Yu was stopped by the Imperial Guards. He had a very arrogant attitude, but Liu Yu gave the imperial edict listlessly. The guards were stunned when they saw it and apologized respectfully.

The right guard of Yuhuamen said respectfully: "Commander Liu You, if you want to take office, you should go to Dongyemen. That is where the Imperial Army Office is located."

The imperial edict only said that he would take office three days later, but he did not explain in detail which gate to enter the palace. Of course, which gate was close to him. Unexpectedly, there were so many things to pay attention to. The surname of the Right Guard was quite polite, but no matter what he said, Liu Yu would not let him "take the shortcut". Liu Yu had no choice but to go around and report from Yuhua Gate to the west to Dongye Gate to the east.

Liu Yu was full of bad luck when he rode on the horse, but Lu Chu'er and the female guards behind him were giggling like an old hen laying eggs, which made him even more annoyed.

After going to Dongye Gate, Liu Yu could enter easily. The Imperial Guard's yamen in the palace was just a few bungalows, and it was not eye-catching against the wall of the palace. When Liu Yu walked in, he saw a man in his thirties dressed in a well-tailored guard uniform repairing the window.

"You are Liu Yu and Liu Wenyan? Have you brought the imperial edict and the delivery documents of the female military chariot commander?" The man had two beards on his face and his voice was very thick. Liu Yu originally felt that he was 1.8 meters taller than him. The person in front of him was half a head taller than him. He was very burly and strong. At first glance, he was a Jian Jiazi.

Seeing that Liu became more and more stunned, the man added: "There is the President of the Imperial Guard, He Mao."

Liu Yu did not expect that the president of the Imperial Guard's ten thousand men would actually study the window himself. He was a little surprised and gave the ceremony first, then handed over the imperial edict and the delivery document together.

Liu Yulai had inquired before that He Mao was an orphan with outstanding military achievements. He was only recruited as the fifth princess's son-in-law when he was nearly thirty years old. He was originally in love, but unfortunately the fifth princess died of illness before the New Year. He Mao was famous for being loyal to the emperor and had no place to live before marriage, and had no connection with any force in the court. This is why he was valued by the emperor and entrusted with important responsibilities.

"Yes." After checking, He Mao personally handed the official plaque and waist card to Liu Yu and said, "Brother Liu, you are newly married, how old are you? He Mao is here to congratulate you. You and I will be colleagues in the future. If you have any questions, come to me."

"Commander He, I want to ask, the duty of the subordinate is..." Liu Yu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"The duties of the Imperial Guard and the safety of guarding the palace are on the one hand, and on the other hand, the guards of the royal residence in the city, the yamen of various departments and the hunting grounds outside the city. Moreover... it is the training of the Imperial Guard on weekdays."

Liu Yu was generally clear about these things and asked tentatively: "Is the Xiaguan trying to ask, what is the right commander of the Xiaguan responsible for?"

He Mao sat down at the table, let Liu Yu sit down, and smiled and said, "It turns out that you are asking about this. The original duty of the Right Commander was to assist the President to arrange and direct what he said just now. In addition, he also had to record the actions of the Twelve Warring States Offices, and report them every three days and a cycle. However... the emperor said that Commander Liu You was an idle person and only needed to submit the actions compiled below to the inner court every three days. What do you do on weekdays? This official cannot impose interference."

"So good?" Liu Yu thought he had heard it wrong, but he just came to make a formality every three days. Isn't that different from the previous life of a happy and joyful life?

"Then is the official now..."

He Maoren was very serious, but he still smiled kindly and said, "The commander Liu You didn't have to leave. First, go to the inner court with me to get familiar with the process, and then come and go as the emperor told me. By the way, as the right commander of the Imperial Guard, you have the power to submit the emperor directly without going through the Secretariat and the Six-Taiwan Yamen of the Cabinet. If there is an external minister asking you to report the report, unless it is related to the country, then... don't report the report."

Liu Yu knew that he still had such power for the first time and nodded to show that he understood.

Along the way, He Mao was explaining the rules of the palace and the Imperial Guard to Liu Yu, the right commander who was not promoted from the lower class of the Imperial Guard.

The imperial palace is divided into outer court and inner court. The outer court is mainly the cabinet and the place where the emperor works on weekdays, and there are also many leisure places. The inner court is the royal back garden, the place where the emperor and his concubines live. In order to avoid the imperial guards' generals and officers of the imperial guards, only the Imperial Guards can enter the inner court alone, and they cannot stay for a long time. In total, there is only one president, two right commanders and four left commanders, and a total of seven people have such privileges. The guards must be patrolled together. Once they enter the inner court, they have to wait two hours to change shifts even if they have to leave. The requirements are very strict.

He Mao took Liu Yu to the inner court of the Imperial Guard, in a corner outside the Imperial Garden, like a small greenhouse. There were two small eunuchs playing Go. When he saw He Mao, he was a little nervous. He Mao did not blame him and introduced him to Liu Yu: "Brother Liu, in the future, you will submit the record of your conduct to these two eunuchs, and you will need to sign it here. Each copy has a date and only one copy. You must read it clearly. If the record of your conduct is accidentally lost by the eunuch in the inner court, they will not be able to rely on you as long as you sign it."

"When will the first issue be heard by the Xiaguan?"

"Tomorrow, you need to go to the yamen before 3:00. I will ask the rotating commander Zuo to sort out the action record and wait there. Then you will submit the action record, and noon at the latest. If there is any sudden incident, you must first find someone to inform me of the official. Generally, the emperor will approve the reply that night, and the content of the reply is not your responsibility. You only need to remember to come every three days."

Liu Yu heard that the job was not very complicated, he just gave him a record of his conduct.

He Mao introduced Liu Yu to Liu Yu about the division of labor. Liu Yu heard it a little complicated and did not remember it all. He just remembered that in addition to him, the right commander who was responsible for sorting and submitting the memorials, there was another right commander who was responsible for training. He didn't meet him on weekdays. When he came out, the four left commanders also sorted out the morning's record and handed over it. He Mao introduced it one by one.

Because the emperor's special order allowed Liu Yu to go freely, Liu Yu left the palace before noon. Lu Chu'er thought he would have to go out of work at sunset and dusk, so he went back to wait for the afternoon before coming. Liu Yu had no time to take a break, so he went to the chess building.

After drinking a cup of tea and taking a look at the storytelling book, Liu Yu finally regained the ease and freedom he used to be. At this moment, an old acquaintance, Han Sheng, walked in with a brisk step.

"Brother Han?" Liu Yu was a little surprised when he saw Han Sheng. "Are you so busy these days? It would be fine if you don't attend my wedding banquet. You can't even find you if you discuss the matter of bringing your two granddaughters in."

Han Sheng smiled and said, "I have heard of these things too. Let's talk about them later. Let's talk to you one thing first."

Liu Yu became confused. Is it just for "one thing" to show up in such a hurry?

"This matter is quite complicated. I have something to show you." Han Sheng opened a bag that he was carrying, and it was all booklets like the account book. Liu Yu opened one of them, and it was densely filled with words.

"What's this?"

Han Sheng smiled: "Look carefully."

Liu Yu looked through it carefully and found that it was the name, origin, relatives of the ministers in the court. He even remembered clearly when he gave birth to a grandson and when he took a concubine from a brothel.

"Why does it look like the list of officials?" Liu Yu became more and more shocked, because he saw the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion, and even remembered Liu Yu's newlyweds clearly. "No... Why do you remember the list of officials so clearly? Brother Han, you come to me and bring such a piece of goods, what are you doing?"

Han Sheng restrained his smile and said seriously: "Actually... the emperor wants you to help me and find some borers from it. To put it bluntly, those who have contact with foreign ministers, especially those vassal kings, will be picked out and removed."

"Ah?" Liu Yu's eyes widened, and he was extremely shocked. Isn't this similar to the responsibilities of the Dongchang Jinyiwei?

In the past, he always didn't understand Han Sheng was for the emperor's advice, but now he understood that his relationship was a secret agent. Because what he did was too secret, few people in the court knew about his existence. On that day, Han Sheng, the director of the Intelligence Department, came to investigate his future husband of General Xu, and then made friends.

Han Sheng seemed not surprised by Liu Yu's reaction and smiled and said, "Now, I'll introduce you to someone. Come in."

A man covered in black clothes and wearing a hooded cloak walked in and took off his hat. Liu Yu was not unfamiliar with it. It was He Mao.

"Brother Liu, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." He Mao bowed with a smile.

"Commander He?" Liu Yu quickly got up. There were only two seats in the room. If he didn't get up, He Mao would have no place to sit.

He Mao pressed his body and said, "You sit with Mr. Han, just stand."

This time, He Mao no longer called himself "the official" and seemed very kind, but Liu Yu was sitting there while his boss was standing, which was very unfair.

Han Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you don't have to be surprised. Don't you doubt that the emperor has any other intentions to promote you to the right commander of the Imperial Guard? You can come and go freely in the palace to facilitate you to do something. This time, the emperor's decree is my decree, but the responsibility for planning is on you. If you have any decisions about who to capture and who to follow, you will directly instruct Commander He to do it without involving the fourth person. Although he is your boss, he is the one who attacks you and me in this matter."
