The three divisions are the Town and Fu Division, the Police Division and the Punishment Division. These three divisions were founded by Xu Baxian under the instruction of Zhao Hanguo.
The Secretary of Zhenfu is in charge of the forbidden army and the eunuchs in the palace, and there are 70,000 eunuchs. The Secretary of Prosecution is in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, and is in charge of the world's literati and pen officials. The Secretary of Punishment is in charge of the world's punishment and imprisonment.
On the surface, these three ministers were the internal guards of the Jiangzuo Dynasty, but in fact they were all guards of Zhao Hanguo's family. They were specially used by him to catch people, praise their virtues, and frame Zhongliang.
From the Emperor Jiangzuo to the traffickers and pawns, they are all the subjects of supervision by these three departments.
At the beginning of the establishment of these three divisions, Xu Baxian served as the general guard of all three divisions. For a time, the name of General Guard Xu was a powerful one in Jiangzuo.
But as Xu Baxian's reputation grew, Zhao Hanguo had to find ways to restrict Xu Baxian's power. He first promoted Lu Daoyuan in the Criminal Division, and then placed Liu Zhenyi in the Criminal Division.
Both of them were quite capable, and they were Zhao Hanguo's confidants. Within a few years, they took over Xu Baxian's position and became the general guards of the Police Department and the Criminal Department.
The internal guards of the dynasty were therefore divided into three, restraining and balancing each other, thus achieving an extremely delicate state.
Yan Zhuo then asked: "Brother Li, does he know Bai Buchou?"
Li Gang shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"What about Xu Baxian's martial arts?" Yan Zhuo asked again, "Is there anything unique about him?"
Li Gang frowned, his chin couldn't help but tilt up, and he looked out the window and said: "Actually, Xu Baxian is quite famous among the Beifu soldiers. He is brave and courageous. He rushes to the front every time he faces battle, fighting with
The soldiers fought together and fought for their lives. My captain was also promoted when Xu Baxian took office. When it comes to his martial arts, he is naturally better than me, but when it comes to uniqueness, he may not be up to it. Later I heard that he
In the Third Division, we are fierce and fierce, and we have many warriors under our command. I just don’t know if this is really the case, or if my subordinates are just flattering me. After all, the Beifu Guards are also known as the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals..."
Speaking of Beifu soldiers, Li Gang couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face.
There is both helplessness and a hint of pride in this wry smile. It is like a dying veteran lamenting that his time is short, but also remembering the heroic ambition of his youth when he was weeping blood on the blade.
He has feelings for Beifu Wei, a feeling he doesn't want to let go of.
Yan Zhuo thought about Li Gang's words and made a calculation in his mind: Xu Ba came to the Third Division first and then used his powerful methods. Maybe it was when he was in the Third Division that he cultivated the "Hundred Refinements of Mysterious Light", and there were so many warriors under him, so it was probably not the case.
It's just a fabrication. After all, the group of dynasty guards at the Jianghu Conference are all very skilled and have practiced the "Hundred Refiners of Mysterious Light". The rumors that Brother Li heard should be true. Zhao Hanguo has such a group of people as thugs.
It’s hard not to think about big things.
Yan Zhuo asked again: "Who is this Zhao Hanguo? Which clan is he a disciple of?"
"Well, Zhao Hanguo is a descendant of the Langya Zhao family. Speaking of which, his father, Director Zhao, supported Emperor Jiangzuo in his ascension to the throne. The young emperor once said that Yan and Zhao share the same world." Li Gang replied,
"Hey, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense about these secret knowledge brothers in Jiangzuo, but now I am in Northern Qi, riding a horse without a rein and talking about it, I feel very comfortable."
Yan Zhuo naturally knew what Li Gang meant. This was to let him know that he was not a gossip. I only said this when you asked me in Beiqi today.
"Zhao Hanguo has the support of the Zhao family, so it is not difficult to share the world with the Yan family." Yan Zhuo nodded.
In the late Jin Dynasty and the Five Kingdoms period, family clans were very powerful. A large family could have up to ten thousand people eating at its diners. There were scribes and warriors in this group of diners. Writing books could lead to a sect, and the words would be famous for thousands of times. To dominate the troubled times, let alone support a little emperor, even if you ascend the throne and become the emperor yourself, it is a piece of cake.
"Brother Li, did Zhao Hanguo and Xu Baxian know each other a long time ago, or did they get involved after the Yan family was wiped out?"
"Ah... This is not very clear. This is something from above. As a pawn, I don't know much about it. However, I do know that after Xu Baxian became the general of the army in Beifu, Zhao Hanguo died within a few days. Came here to celebrate him. Judging from how the two of them looked at that time, they should have a good relationship."
Yan Zhuo nodded, with a worried look on his eyebrows. If Xu Baxian did not know Zhao Hanguo beforehand, then his only enemies for annihilation were the Seven Saints of the Western Regions and Xu Baxian. But if Xu Baxian and Zhao Hanguo had known each other for a long time, so could Zhao Hanguo be the mastermind behind the Yan family's destruction?
If Zhao Hanguo is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then he borrowed Xu Baxian's hand to control the Jingkou Beifu soldiers, the most powerful force in Jiangzuo, and relied on the three divisions he founded to control the government and the opposition. Is it possible that his painstaking efforts step by step are just Just want to be the most powerful official in Jiangzuo?
It's not like that, and it's impossible.
If he only wants to be the most powerful official in Jiangzuo, then his power has already dominated Jiangzuo, so why bother to cause trouble in the Jianghu? First, he caused a big Jianghu meeting, and then married with Baiyun Villa. There must be something hidden in this.
Yan Zhuo asked again: "Brother Li, what kind of danger did Brother Qiao encounter in Shaolin Temple?"
When Li Gang heard Yan Zhuo's question, he immediately told Yan Zhuo about the differences between formal and secular Shaolin, the dispute between Songshan Shaolin, the abbot's death, and so on. He also emphatically told Yan Zhuo about the undercover Yuan Rong.
"Then Yuan Rong is an undercover agent of the Dynasty?"
Li Gang nodded.
The worry in Yan Zhuo's eyebrows became heavier, and a layer of frost seemed to have condensed on his pale and bloodless cheeks, a layer of deep, silent and sad frost.
"What about the attitude of the Shaolin Temple? Will it support the Beggar Clan?"
Li Gang replied: "Master Liaojie left his legacy, Shaolin Temple will definitely work with the Beggar Clan to defend the morality of the world."
Yan Zhuo nodded, but the worry on his face did not diminish. The Jiangzuo Dynasty was able to arrange Yuan Rong into Shaolin and make him one of the first Shaolin leaders. One can imagine the time and effort it took. If the Shaolin Temple If there is Yuanrong, will other sects in the world also have "Yuanrong"?
"Brother Li, how long has Na Yuan been integrated into Shaolin?"
"It must have been around seven or eight years ago. I can't remember exactly how long it took."
Seven or eight years ago? Could it be that Zhao Hanguo started planning to place undercover agents in Jianghu seven or eight years ago?
If Zhao Hanguo really started planning in Jianghu seven or eight years ago, would his plan be limited to Jiangzuo and Jianghu?
Does he want to be the common master of the world?
Yan Zhuo thought like this, thinking about all the clues about Zhao Hanguo in his mind.
Yan Xiaoyu said that he was ambitious but well-regulated. Although he controlled the government and the public, he was full of benevolence, justice, morality, and etiquette for monarchs and ministers. He declined the title of "Father-in-Chief" bestowed by the emperor several times, and he was frugal even when traveling in sedan chairs. If others look at such a person, they will definitely think that he is a very loyal minister and a great pillar of the country.
But it was such a person who caused great chaos in Jianghu conferences, married into Baiyun Mountain Villa, placed spies and undercover agents in various factions, relied on the dynasty's internal guards in his hands to extort money, killed dissenters, and forced Emperor Yan Xuanji of Jiangzuo to write edicts on clothing and belts to survive.
…
Is such a person really satisfied with just being the prime minister of Jiangzuo?
Yan Zhuo felt that Zhao Hanguo was by no means such a person who was easily satisfied. The more a person didn't care, the more he cared. The more pure and reticent he was, the more selfish he was.
Zhao Hanguo's performance is definitely not his inner self. He just wants to use that appearance to paralyze the world. The less he fights for position, the more he values that position. He is willing to give in to Prime Minister Jiang Zuo. It is not that he is satisfied with Prime Minister Jiang Zuo, but
It's because he hasn't found the right time yet. He wants to rely on the name of Jiangzuo Dynasty to gradually encroach on the surrounding dynasties and sects.
First it was Baiyun Villa, then the Later Han Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.
When the Jiangzuo dynasty is spurned by the world, and when Jiangzuo's emperor Yan Xuanji becomes a world-famous tyrant, he can legitimately replace him. Anyway, Jiangzuo has annexed the two countries by then, isn't it just around the corner to unify the world?
Thinking of this, Yan Zhuo couldn't help but sweatdropped. The massacre of his family eighteen years ago might have been just a part of his plan. With such a far-sighted and careful person, could Yan Zhuo really be able to fight against him?
If the opponent were him, would he have a chance of winning?
If everything goes as Yan Zhuo thinks, can these five countries and ten sects and the world be saved?
Could it be that the prophecy of the knife loaner is really going to come true?
