Chapter 10 If you take too big a step, you may get injured
The last guard soldier left the interrogation room with his head hanging down.
He is very depressed.
He was very remorseful.
The triple salary he wanted has nothing to do with him now. He can only return to the guard camp and live his original life.
The man in black robe has been interrogating for a day and a night, and his body is exhausted, but he can't stop now.
In the back room separated by a wall, Liu Chan stood up and stretched.
The trial is finally over——
"Your Majesty!"
The man in black robe entered the back room. At this time, his mask had been taken off, revealing his fair and delicate facial features. He was none other than the Prince Consort Zhuge Qiao.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "Those who pass the first round of screening will be detained for two days."
"No!"
"Okay, have a good rest," Liu Chan patted Zhuge Qiao on the shoulder, smiled and said, "I have to go back to the palace."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Liu Chan has always regarded Zhuge Qiao as a confidant, but Zhuge Qiao is very respectful to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan didn't care about him.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's tutoring was not something Liu Chan could influence.
After all, the etiquette that should be observed between monarchs and ministers must be followed, otherwise it would be useless if they were neither big nor small.
Returning to the palace from Zhuge Qiao's house, Liu Chan was exhausted. He just wanted to go back to his dragon bed and sleep in darkness.
Review the soldiers of the Guards Battalion.
Liu Chan could have avoided going to the scene because Zhuge Qiao was very cautious and never cheated.
It’s just that Liu Chan is worried.
He wanted to see with his own eyes whether these soldiers could endure the physical pain without revealing secrets when faced with torture.
More than 600 people.
How many people can be left in the end?
Liu Chan felt unsure.
This time when selecting personal soldiers, his goal is to select a hundred people.
His choices are not wide, so he has to personally watch the test of each soldier.
Result——
Let him be a little disappointed.
Out of more than 600 people, only more than 100 passed the assessment. The rest either just received two whips, or he did it himself before they were beaten.
Fortunately, more than a hundred people were selected.
Better than nothing.
Liu Chan stayed in the back room of the interrogation room for a whole day and night.
Now back to the palace.
Naturally, he hurried back to catch up on his nap. He was already so sleepy that his eyelids were shaking.
But as soon as he entered the palace, Fei Yi greeted him respectfully: "I have seen your majesty, long live your majesty."
"Fei Aiqing, please get up quickly." Liu Chan helped Fei Yi up and said first: "I'm sorry, Fei Aiqing! I was discussing knowledge with Bo Song yesterday, and I didn't want to talk until now, making Aiqing miss you."<
/p>
"I don't dare!"
Fei Yi didn't seem to complain about Liu Chan returning to the palace at this time, which made Liu Chan breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm a little tired, dear, please step aside!"
As Liu Chan was about to go to the harem, Fei Yi stepped forward and bowed, blocking Liu Chan's way.
"Ai Qing, is there something wrong?" Liu Chan asked.
"Your Majesty!" Fei Yi said, "Aren't you going to command the more than 600 Guards soldiers?"
More than half of the more than 600 imperial guards were sent back by the emperor, and according to what they said.
The emperor also tortured them.
Fei Yi was a little worried.
Before Prime Minister Zhuge Liang left, he made a special statement to him.
In addition to protecting the safety of the palace, you must also assist the young emperor.
He is still too young and can easily be taken advantage of.
Fei Yi is cautious in doing things.
So Zhuge Liang asked Fei Yi to always remind young Liu Chan not to be taken advantage of by treacherous villains.
These days, the emperor has changed too much.
Especially this time about the Imperial Guard.
"Oh, that's it!" Liu Chan smiled when he heard this and said, "I didn't originally intend to hide it from Aiqing. I just wanted to tell Aiqing after it was over."
"I don't dare!"
Fei Yi hurriedly said that he was not here to question the emperor. He was just worried that the emperor would be deceived by a traitor, so he just reminded him appropriately.
But he just opened his mouth.
Liu Chan seemed to know what he was going to ask, which surprised Fei Yi.
"You don't have to be reserved, my dear," Liu Chan said with a smile, "Of course I know your loyalty and the Prime Minister's advice."
"Asking you for these Imperial Guards, I just want to select a few satisfactory talents."
Liu Chan explained casually that these people were all Fei Yi's subordinates, and it was impossible for him to hide it.
The more you conceal, the more misunderstandings you may have.
"Oh~"
After hearing this, Fei Yi became even more confused and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
"Now the world is divided into three parts, but I, the Han Dynasty, live in a corner," Liu Chan sighed and said, "I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I shoulder the important task of reviving the Han Dynasty."
Fei Yi became more and more confused as he listened. Is there any connection between the emperor's torment of the imperial guards camp and the revival of the Han Dynasty?
Seeing Fei Yi frowning, Liu Chan continued: "I know that my talent is dull, so I don't think I can be of much help to the Prime Minister." Liu Chan paused and said, "I think among the more than 600 people in the Imperial Guard Camp,
, select some satisfactory sergeants, the prime minister may be of use in the future."
Khan——
Fei Yi finally understood.
After struggling for a long time, it turns out that His Majesty the Emperor is too idle and is looking for fun by himself.
But the original intention is still good.
At least he can think of sharing the Prime Minister's worries.
Of course, Fei Yi didn't believe that Liu Chan could really select any talents from the Imperial Guard Camp.
Generals who are good at fighting must pass the baptism of the battlefield, which cannot be compared with the guards who live in the palace.
With the doubts in his mind relieved, Fei Yi was relieved and did not care about the emperor's continued troubles.
These little things are still within control.
Just let him go.
Liu Chan returned to the harem, but he was a little scared.
Perhaps the selection of sergeants of the Imperial Guard Battalion should not have been carried out this time. If I had known earlier, it would have been safer to select one hundred and eighty people directly from the Zhang Shao family.
As the saying goes, if you take too big a step, you may tear your eggs.
It’s just that it’s too late to regret now.
But fortunately, Fei Yi's evaluation in history is pretty good, so it won't be too much trouble if you think about it.
Although he has some regrets, Liu Chan has no intention of stopping the selection process that has already begun.
If he stops suddenly, it will make people think that he, the emperor, is just a child with three minutes of heat.
So two days later.
The second round of assessment continues.
But this time, Liu Chan played a bigger game. Before the assessment, Liu Chan went to see Fei Yi.
"Your Majesty!" Fei Yi asked doubtfully: "Have you not already passed the assessment? Are there any other assessments?"
"Of course!" Liu Chan confirmed: "Before, I only tortured them to extract confessions, this time I want to be a little softer with them."
"What is soft?" Fei Yi asked.
"Haha!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "This is why I came to trouble Fei Aiqing today."
"If I were asked to select a group of generals who are good at conquering and fighting," Liu Chan said with a wry smile, "I would definitely not be able to select them, but I think it would be okay to select a few scouts who go to the front lines to find out information."
"Your Majesty wants to choose some scouts?" Fei Yi asked in surprise.
