Chapter 19, come and go in a hurry
"After that day, your mother had no trace, leaving only you in her cradle, a necklace and a letter. The letter said that there were people from the Mo family who came to pick you up. It would be unnecessary for our Chen family to worry. Tell me, what is this? No matter what, your surname is Chen, and a child cannot be saved in a Zhenguo Mansion. After the emperor ascended the throne, the Pei family was rehabilitated. Unfortunately, the Pei family has no descendants, hey," the old Duke said, sighing repeatedly.
Chen Qi was puzzled, "Then why is my identity a thorn? Haven't it been rehabilitated?"
"If there are still people in the Pei family, they will definitely not be rehabilitated. The Pei family will be rehabilitated only after they die. Your identity and the identity of the prince are all stings in the emperor's heart. The death of the previous emperor is not unrelated to the Pei family. The Mo family has a very ruthless saying. There are no big and small countries in today, they are all towns of heaven, people have no long and young, noble and humble, they are all ministers of heaven. Your mother almost accomplished this thing back then. This is the sting in the emperor's heart. You promise grandpa that you must not interact with the Mo family. They subvert not only the Qin Dynasty, but the whole world, and it is impossible to succeed."
If you have to die, no matter how old or young, no matter how low a person is, isn’t people born equal? Is the mother a time traveler? The necklace must have mystery. Chen Qi was worried, “Grandpa, who was assassinating you? What does it have to do with the Mo family? It was the Mo family who saved you.”
"Everything comes down to your mother. If it weren't for the Mo family, I might not have been able to come back in the Battle of Lengquan more than ten years ago. People all said that I died in northern Xinjiang and that it was the Mo family who saved me. At that time, it was Zhang Tianyou who took action. More than ten years ago he was not a great man in the Mo family."
"The Black Armored Wolf Cavalry is the most elite cavalry of the Chen family. After I came back, I gave it to your uncle Chen Zhi. Unfortunately, Zhi'er was killed by Pan Xing in the battle of the Western Regions. Everyone said that reinforcements were not coming. I have been investigating for many years. In fact, it was Pan Xing's eldest son Pan Gongyou who was greedy for the Black Armored Wolf Cavalry. When I went to Bingzhou, one was to avenge your uncle and kill Pan Gongyou. He was also considered dead. Of course, the Pan family would not let me go, but they dared not come out of the public and did some tricks secretly. How could the dead soldiers they sent were opponents of the Mo family? The other was to give up the military power in Hedong and return it to the emperor. He has been doing the military power over the years. Pan Gongyou died, and the military power was to give them compensation. This is what Pan Xing thought. It is said that the tiger poison will not eat. Pan Xing actually exchanged his eldest son for the military power in Bingzhou. But it doesn't matter. It's better to return to the field, not to involve disputes, and be a rich man with a stable life."
Chen Qi was a little worried that Pan Xing was the Grand Marshal of the dynasty and the top leader of the 16 guards in the country, even the imperial guards in the north and south, were also under Pan Xing. "Grandpa, then our family will be in peace in the future."
The old Duke smiled and said, "I wish he was not afraid to take action in Chang'an. Even if he wanted to take action, it would be after the emperor collapsed. He didn't have the courage in front of the emperor. Don't worry about this. In Chang'an, grandpa can still cover you. They can't get enough time to get the military power in Hedong."
Duke Zhenguo has his own power in Chang'an, so Chen Qi doesn't have to worry. His mother is actually a family or a famous Hedong Pei family. He has something to do with the Mo family, which is unexpected. The Pan family is emerging and powerful, and the power is not small. Pan Huchen, the second son of the Pan family, is a hard-core follower of Cao Guojiu. The two families are in a slew together. Chen Qi has already listed the Pan family as an enemy in his heart. The ruthlessness of many years of undercover exudes. If you want peace, the Pan family must perish. However, looking at his current momentum, he still needs to make plans. He will go to school tomorrow and meet his master Xu Ban, the commander of the Royal Guard of the Great Qin Dynasty, and is known as the best in martial arts in the world. It is said that the upper and lower courts of the Da Nei, except for the upper court, Cao Tong and Cao, no one is the opponent of the commander Xu. His master must be directed towards him.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Qi sued his grandfather. His grandfather repeatedly told him not to reveal that his mother was a member of the Pei family. Chen Qi was so proud that he was holding a necklace and rubbed it. He was about to leave the house. When he met Chen Wenruo, Chen Qi felt embarrassed when he saw it. He did not do anything bad, and his legs trembled unconsciously. He was trembling. Chen Wenruo's eyes were quite disappointed, and he was also embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. He coughed and called him, "I heard that you want 5,000 taels, go to the account to collect the money, don't throw away the people of our Chen family." As he said that, he threw a sign over. Chen Qi jumped over and took it, and he was half a talisman with a happy face. His father was not unkind, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, father."
Strangely, when did my father become so generous? Chen Qi thought, did the people from the Ministry of Works tell my father? Chen Wenruo stretched out his hand and twisted his beard, "As soon as next spring comes, the second brother will go to Mayi in the north to take over the horse farm. His position as Langwei will be retired, and he will make up for your vacancies."
"Rain farm? Our family has a horse farm." Chen Qi was very surprised. Chen Wenruo pointed his finger and said nothing. Chen Qi stuck out his tongue and retreated.
It's good that the old man is fine. As for the situation in the mansion, assassination, it's not his turn to worry about it. He understood that it was all used for balanced relations among the upper classes. However, Chang'an's military power must find a way to control part of it and occupy a place. Chang'an's armed forces are two parts: Da Nei and the army. Da Nei is divided into two courtyards. The army is divided into two courtyards, north and south. The ten guards of the South are commanded by the world. The six guards of the North are imperial guards. Each guard always has 25,000 people. When encountering war, it can be expanded to 40,000.
The Upper Court is an institution composed of eunuchs, similar to the Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty. Chen Qi was surprised that this centralized institution appeared in this era. The Upper Court has three subordinates, Mingjingtai, Donghuotai, and Jing'antai. It is an intelligence agency famous in the world in the Qin Dynasty. Mingjingtai is responsible for intelligence collection, and it has all kinds of people. Donghuotai is analyzing the authenticity and use of intelligence. There are not many experts in Donghuotai, most of whom are delicate and rigorous logic. Jing'antai is an operation department. Most of the experts in the Upper Court belong to Jing'antai.
The lower court is also called the Peacock Guard. There are only a thousand people, each of which is selected from thousands of people, and it is tempered by thousands of times. The elite among the elites are comparable to the pre-Qin Iron Eagle Soldiers. Both the upper and lower courts are directly controlled by the emperor and reported directly to the emperor. It has great power. The president of the lower court is Wang Huan, but the commander of the Peacock Guard is Xu Ban. The two of them do not deal with each other, and the lower court is also divided into two factions, which makes the fuss and dogs uneasy.
The Supreme Court has twelve eunuchs, whose fame is spread throughout the Jiuzhou. They are known together with the Northern Zhou Tianchou Mansion. They are two major intelligence agencies that are so terrifying that people are heard of in the world. The difference is that the Supreme Court is famous for people, and the Tianchou Mansion is famous for institutions.
The supreme commander of the Sixth Army of the North Ya and the Lower Yuan was the same person, Chen Qi's master, Xu Ban, and Chen Qi wanted to reexamine the master who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun in his impression.
Chen Qi went back to the room and walked to the door. He met his elder brother Chen Qiong. He was smoking a cigarette pier at the door, making a sound. Chen Qi looked around and saw that there was no one around. It seemed that his elder brother had sent Xiaokang away. He told himself if he had something to do. The elder brother said that his grandfather was ordered to go to Bingzhou to do business, which shocked the arrogant soldiers and generals of the Chen family. But his grandfather went to kill Pan Gongyou. The elder brother must be aware of this matter. He handed over the military power in Hedong, and the elder brother also knew about it. "Brother, why are you freezing here?"
Chen Qiong knocked off the ashes in his hand and touched Chen Qi's head, "The court is not peaceful, there is war in western Xinjiang, I can't celebrate the New Year in Chang'an. San'er, take good care of my grandfather and father."
"Brother, have you just returned? It's not two days, why did you leave? When will you leave? It's really, isn't it the New Year in Western Xinjiang?"
Chen Qiong sighed and said, "Let's leave early tomorrow morning, and it's hard to break the life of your life. You have to pay attention to the Pan family. This grandson is the most playful person. Don't be cheated. Grandpa has lost his ambitions and just wants to get rid of his ambitions and return to his grandson to be safe. Unfortunately, he has no military power. When grandpa is a hundred years later, we will still let the Pan family roll and pinch it flat."
