() Yuan Binglong couldn't help but feel a little at a loss at this moment.
He never dreamed that Liu Xia would come to his door.
This operation was very secretive. The person who went to assassinate Liu Xia was the deputy gang leader of the Kunsha Gang and his most trusted gullible.
The people who were brought out to assassinate Liu Xia were all good players in the gang, and their cultivation levels were not low.
Now that none of them have come back, the situation is obviously in danger.
Yuan Binglong never imagined that Liu Xia's cultivation would be so domineering.
If he had known that Liu Xia's cultivation was so abnormal, he would not have accepted this deal even if he was beaten to death.
Now he is riding a tiger with a hard time getting off, and everything is out of his control.
Assassinating a prince will implicate nine clans.
"Caomin Yuan Binglong, please see the prince."
Without thinking, Yuan Binglong knelt on the ground and saluted.
The group of people around him were all stunned at this moment.
It occurred to them that this murderous guy turned out to be the current prince.
They had attacked him just now, which was a capital crime.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people knelt down with cheers.
Liu Xia put his hands behind his back and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yuan Binglong stood up to stop vomiting, then clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please give me a step to speak."
Liu Xia nodded and followed Yuan Binglong into the backyard.
After arriving at the flower hall and serving tea, Yuan Binglong hurriedly dismissed his servants, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, even a villain has his own difficulties. There is really no other way. Please spare your life, Your Majesty."
"You assassinated me, and now you want me to spare your life? Do you think it's possible?"
Liu Xia picked up the tea cup, took a slight sip and said.
"Please also ask the prince to point out a clear path."
Yuan Binglong is not stupid. If Liu Xia comes today with officers and soldiers, he will definitely be dead.
However, Liu Xia did not alert the government today, so there was hope of survival.
"You are indeed a smart man. I like to deal with smart people. You sent someone to assassinate me, which has been exposed. As long as I am still alive, you and your Kunsha Gang will definitely die. Even if I don't kill you, believe me, then
The person behind it will also kill you and silence you. Whether you tell me today or not, who is behind it, you will be dead."
Liu Xia said calmly.
"The villain knows, the villain knows."
Yuan Binglong said hurriedly.
"Very good, since you know, then I won't talk nonsense. I do have a way out for you, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."
Liu Xia, you put the tea cup on the table, crossed your legs and said with a smile.
"As long as you, Your Majesty, are willing to give me a chance, I will definitely live up to you, Your Majesty."
"Haha, I have just arrived in Longdu, and I am not familiar with the place. The palace is also full of waste and needs to be improved. Now there are a few experts to guard the courtyard. You are also an expert, go to my place as a servant. Brothers in the gang, Xiu
For those who are good and willing to take refuge in me, I
Accept them all, and if they don't want to, you dismiss them. As for the property under your Kunsha Gang, I am not interested. You can handle it yourself, but one thing is, when you get to the palace, don't expect me to support you.
You figure it out for yourself."
After Liu Xia finished speaking, he leaned on the chair and continued drinking tea.
At this moment, Yuan Binglong had a fierce battle between heaven and man in his mind.
What Liu Xia said, he naturally knew that if the assassination of Liu Xia was exposed, the mastermind behind it would definitely kill and silence him.
The Kunsha Gang is really vulnerable in front of others.
But he was unwilling to disband the Kunsha Gang. After all, this was his life's hard work, and no one could accept it if it was wasted like this.
But these seem to be nothing compared to living.
After some weighing, Yuan Binglong could only sigh softly, clasping his fists and saying, "I am willing to follow the prince."
"Very good, don't feel aggrieved. If you follow me, you will not only survive, but I can also make you a captain of the guard. Being an official is better than being a thief."
Liu Xia saw that he was still a little hesitant, so he said slightly.
When Yuan Binglong heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Originally, Yuan Binglong just thought that he would be asked to serve as a nursing home, so naturally he felt a little unwilling to do so. After all, he was considered the number one figure in Longdu.
However, Liu Xia asked him to be his personal soldier, which was completely different.
Each prince's palace has its own du li institution.
For example, in the Prince's East Palace, Zhan Shifu came to assist the Prince.
Whenever an official is appointed, he or she is conferred by the emperor.
The officials of Zhanshi Mansion range from third grade to ninth grade.
Although the Prince's Palace cannot be compared with the Prince's Palace in the East Palace, it does have its own independent institutions.
It is used to manage the fiefdom, assist the prince in handling daily affairs, protect the prince and other duties.
Generally ranging from fifth grade to ninth grade.
The captain of the guard is an eighth-grade military attache, equivalent to a hundred households.
Now, having transformed into a member of the imperial court, Yuan Binglong was naturally very happy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your high expectations."
Yuan Binglong kowtowed and said.
"Get up. I, the king, have saved your life. Now let me tell you, who is the real culprit behind the scenes?"
Liu Xia asked calmly.
"Prince Qi Zuo, the person who wants to assassinate you has a big background. He is one of my Kunsha Clan bosses, and he is also my backer. He is Zhang Guozhang. As for why he wants to kill you, I don't know.
.”
When Liu Xia heard this, she couldn't help but smile lightly.
"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be him. Very good. The palace is being repaired these days, so you should deal with the matters in your favor first. When it is finished, come to the White House to find me. But there is something.
Wangfu, you are no longer a Jianghu person. There are some things you’d better think clearly on your own. I am a person who is afraid of trouble."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do."
"That's good. You should be careful these days. If you encounter any trouble, send someone to the White House to find me. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave."
After saying this, Liu Xia stood up and walked outside.
"The little one is sent to the prince."
Immediately, Yuan Binglong hurriedly sent Liu Xia away. When Liu Xia completely disappeared into the night, Yuan Binglong breathed a long sigh of relief.
Now it was a blessing in disguise. Liu Xia not only saved his life, but also made him a military attaché, which was much more prestigious than being a gang leader.
"I said, is this guy reliable?"
Dabao asked in confusion, this kind of person would even betray his boss, which made Dabao feel that he was really unreliable.
"Brother, don't expect that everyone can trust each other like you and I. Renma, after all, there is hope. You give him what he wants, and he will listen to you. It's like making a business.
. This person has been in Longdu for many years and is known to all the three sects and nine sects. Recruiting him to the palace has saved us a lot of effort. Moreover, there are several people under him who are good at cultivation. He can achieve many things with one stone. It is very cost-effective."
Liu Xia smiled slightly.
"Everything you say makes sense, but what about the things you promised me, when will you fulfill them?"
Dabao asked angrily.
"It's such a big deal. Tomorrow is a once-a-month audience. I can't go tonight, but tomorrow night, I will definitely take you there to enjoy it."
Liu Xia patted her chest and said.
"It will definitely happen."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
Then the two people returned to the White House.
In the early morning, Liu Xia dutifully changed into court clothes and headed towards the palace.
The so-called court meeting means that all the royal relatives with titles in Longdu go to pay homage to the Holy One and discuss the governance of the country with the officials of the court.
This rule has been in use since the founding of the Tianji Dynasty.
Firstly, it allowed those royal relatives to care about national affairs, and secondly, it also made it easier for the emperor to supervise them.
After the founding of the Taiji Dynasty, the system of managing royal relatives of the Daqing Dynasty was abolished.
During the Daqing Dynasty, princes, commanders, and kings all lived in their own fiefdoms and were not allowed to leave the fiefdoms without an imperial decree.
It can be regarded as a disguised form of imprisonment, but this system has too many disadvantages.
Most of the princes were self-reliant in supporting troops and would send troops to serve the king at every turn, which made the emperor very nervous.
Especially when the Daqing Dynasty collapsed, princes from all over the country occupied land and became kings one after another and supported their troops to support themselves. This was also an important reason for the rapid collapse of the Daqing Dynasty.
After the Tianji Dynasty was founded, a series of reforms were carried out on the royal family.
First of all, all royal relatives are not allowed to have their own armed forces, except for their own personal guards.
Even if he is an imperial relative with military power, his army only obeys the emperor's orders.
Second, all the royal relatives of the first-level princes must live in Longdu and are not allowed to go out without an imperial decree.
Although the county king could live in his own fiefdom, he had no military power and was unable to rebel if he wanted to.
In this way, these royal relatives can only be obedient. After all, the power of life and death lies in the hands of the emperor.
The once-a-month court meeting also made it easy for the emperor to discover the available talents among his relatives.
Amidst the shaking of the carriage, Liu Xia arrived outside the palace gate.
As soon as Liu Xia got off the car, he saw that outside the palace, your various gorgeous cars were already parked.
These personal soldiers of princes and princes are all heroic, majestic and very grand.
Liu Xia went out relatively late, and by the time he arrived, most of the royal relatives had already arrived.
Looking around, there are more than 300 majestic carriages. It has to be said that the royal family of the Tianji Dynasty has a huge team and is not small in scale.
However, when Liu Xia's carriage just arrived, the princes in groups stopped talking and looked at Liu Xia's carriage one after another.
Liu Xia became the prince, which shocked Longdu.
Moreover, everyone knows about his achievements in wiping out the Holy Cult and eradicating the Demonic Cult in the northwest.
What made them even more curious was that when Liu Xia first entered the court, the emperor seemed to be particularly favorable to him. He couldn't help but give him meals and allowed him to stay in the palace for one night, which made people very jealous.
Therefore, everyone can't wait to see what this prince looks like.
However, when Liu Xia's car arrived, everyone was shocked.
Although the carriage is very ordinary, the Dabao is too conspicuous.
"I heard that that spiritual beast is a senior monk from the Cihang Yin Sect."
"Yes, it's not easy. Let a senior monk from the Cihang Yin Sect be the groom."
"I heard that he is also a master."
"yes!!"
Immediately there was a murmur of whispers.
At this time, Liu Xia got out of the car. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be stunned again.
It seems that Liu Xia's age is beyond their expectations.
Moreover, Liu Xia was carrying a wooden barrel in the office today, and he didn't know what was inside, which made everyone even more curious.
At this time, the Zhengyang Gate of the palace slowly opened, and Eunuch Chen Mo, the general manager of the inner court, personally came out with a group of young eunuchs.
He shook the dust in his hand and said, "The Holy One has a decree."
Immediately, all the royal family members came forward, knelt down in front of the Zhengyang Gate, and bowed down, shouting long live the mountain.
"Please, all princes and marquises, come to the palace to pay homage."
"My lord, I obey the order."
Immediately, the princes began to line up and march toward Zhengyang Gate.
