People in the world only knew that there was an Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, who served as the emperor's personal army and acted on behalf of the emperor.

But I didn’t know that in the Song Dynasty, there was an organization like the Jinyiwei, which was the Imperial City Department.

The Imperial City Department was not famous in history. The most important reason was that the group of scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty was too strong. Even though the power of the emperor, generals and military power were dispersed and successfully reached a situation of mutual restraint, the power of the Imperial City Department still could not leave Bianjing.

At this time, the person in front of Zhao Huan was Xie Dahai, one of the officials of the Imperial City Secretariat. Xie Dahai was born humble and his parents had no education. He heard from the fortune teller that his fate was short of water, so his parents named Xie Dahai.

His parents are also direct enough.

In fact, it can also be called Xie Shui, Xie Duoshui, Xie Chaoshui...

To climb up, children from poor families must work ten thousand times more than others. Xie Dahai is such a person. His eyes show hardness. When he walks, he stands straight like a gun standing up on the ground.

Even so, they have no status as a warrior.

Like the Jinyiwei, what he does to be an official is a hard-blooded thing, and a cold-hearted person must be. Xie Dahai is very consistent with the image and temperament of the emperor's minions.

This is the person Zhao Huan is looking for.

Even though he was cold, Xie Dahai was still restrained in front of the emperor.

When he saw the emperor, Xie Dahai saluted and said respectfully: "I am humble and pray to the Emperor for peace!"

Zhao Huan did not let him get up, but said, "Xie Dahai, I ask you, what is the important position of Fang Jin Imperial City Department?"

Although he didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked this, Xie Dahai could only say respectfully: "The Imperial City Office is Your Majesty's personal army. He has one handed over the palace to ban the guards and one handed over the supervision, all of which are the worries of Your Majesty!"

"Who is your Majesty pointing to?"

Xie Dahai felt a stern, why did the emperor suddenly ask so bluntly?

Now that the new emperor has just succeeded to the throne, the Imperial City Department has nominally been in the hands of the new emperor.

In fact, when he was in the hands of His Majesty Daojun, the Imperial City Department was basically abandoned. Although it was the emperor's personal army, the emperor was completely unrelated and was suppressed and beaten by those civil officials every day.

He quickly spoke carefully and replied: "There is no two days, and the country has no two masters. Your Majesty is the magistrate of the nineteenth five. He governs the state of China on behalf of heaven. I am willing to go through fire and water and be crushed to pieces!"

Zhao Huan has finally realized why the Cowherd had to set up an institution like the Jinyiwei. As the lonely emperor, he really needed such an institution.

Otherwise, how to fight against the ministers?

How to monitor public opinion?

How to spy on the military situation of the enemy country?

Relying on those hypocrites who only know how to read sages and have a mind full of benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long?

They can fool you in minutes.

To a certain extent, Zhao Ji was also fooled, and of course, he himself was also stupid.

To firmly control a huge empire, the emperor must have his own direct relatives!

What is the effect of this pro-military army?

The emperor asked them to go up the sword mountain, they rushed to climb up, and the emperor asked them to go down the oil pan, and they rushed to jump!

Zhao Huan believes that the implementation of his next series of reform policies will inevitably lead to many obstacles, which he could have imagined.

If it expands, it is important to save your life first.

Therefore, he must have an iron-fisted policy that is stronger than Wei Yang!

So, he needs the Imperial City Department so much.

Zhao Huan spoke very gentlely, but his heart was extremely dark. To do whatever he wanted, he had to master force first.

"Xie Dahai, I have just ascended the throne. Cai Jing, Li Bangyan and other ministers of my humble ministers are right in front of me and say that you have formed a clique for personal gain and abused your power in the name of the royal family. Is this a matter?"

Xie Dahai was so scared that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled. He hurriedly said, "The crime is dead! I dare not! Please investigate clearly by Your Majesty!"

"This is indeed a death penalty, and it may affect the family."

"The emperor is aware of it!"

When Xie Dahai was almost scared, Zhao Huan said again: "Ministers said that my personal army is a group of bandits who corrupt discipline and should be abolished. All imperial guards should be thoroughly investigated and exiled!"

"I am guilty of being humble!" Xie Dahai complained in his heart. Although the Imperial City Office was the emperor's personal army, it was suppressed by those ministers. They really hated those ministers!

The Song Dynasty emphasized that kings and scholars and officials jointly rule the world. To put it bluntly, the powerful scholars and officials directly crushed the Imperial City Department and surrounded the Imperial City Department's sphere of influence in Kaifeng City.

This is also the most important reason why most people in later generations have never heard of the Imperial City Department. Look at the Ming Dynasty’s Jinyiwei, each of them is like a wolf or a tiger, because it is supported by the Ming Dynasty’s emperors!

Seeing that Xie Dahai was already trembling with fear, Zhao Huan continued, "What are you guilty of? According to me, those nerds think they can really take charge of this country!"

Xie Dahai was slightly stunned and heard the emperor say, "I am the emperor, and the imperial city is the emperor's personal army. They dare to falsely accuse my personal army in front of me, and they want to rebel. Rebellion requires beheading, not killing your head, but killing them!"

Xie Dahai buried his head on the ground, dared not move, but he couldn't figure out what Zhao Huan was thinking.

The emperor wants to mobilize the scholars and officials?

This is forever.

Is our Imperial City Office going to rise?

"Yes, the Imperial City Master is about to rise."

Zhao Huan's voice came from his ears again, and Xie Dahai suddenly looked up.

Damn, the emperor is really a god. He knows everything I am thinking?

"From today, I will do what I have to do and let go of it. If I lack someone, I will tell me that I will make the decision for you, and they will not be able to move you!"

"Thank you for your trust, I will never resign if I am humble!"

Xie Dahai's whole body was sweating, it was so shocking.

After the morning court, the ministers in the court shouted long live, Zhao Huan said: "If you have something to report, you will leave the court without anything to do."

Seeing the ministers standing on both sides, Zhao Huan felt... so good!

This is the beginning of doing whatever you want!

"I have a report." But when Li Bangyan stood up quickly, he looked very happy.

He had already told Cai Jing and others what he saw last night. At least the literati and officials in the court, except for Li Gang, were determined that the emperor would negotiate peace. Today, the peace talks must be completely decided and envoys were selected. It would be best to set off to the north today to avoid long nights and dreams.

When Zhao Huan saw that it was indeed the bastard Li Bangyan, he stood up, and he was happy. I was worried that you bastard would not stand up today, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon!

Zhao Huan still underestimated the fear of war by these people. Li Bangyan's appearance was greedy for life and death, which really opened Zhao Huan's eyes.

"What's the matter with Li Qing?"

"Your Majesty, the Jin people have crossed the Yellow River and are coming to Kaifeng. I think I should send envoys to discuss peace."

When Li Gang heard this, he immediately stepped forward and snatched Li Bangyan's words, saying, "Your Majesty, you must not. The Jin thieves bully the weak and fear the strong. The more we fear the Jin thieves, the more we become more and more aggressive!"

"Your Majesty, the Jin people have lived in a cold and bitter place in the north for a long time. They went south just to get food for the winter. There is no need for our dynasty to go to war with the Jin people. They just need to give them money and food, and they will inevitably withdraw their troops!"

"His Majesty……"

Li Gang wanted to say something again, but was interrupted by Tong Guan: "Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty is the highest country in the Heavenly Kingdom and is rich in the world. Why should I dispute the barbarians abroad? I also think it should be a peace talk!"

Wang Fu said: "I will discuss it!"

When Zhao Huan saw this, he was immediately happy: Sure enough, these guys were no fault of being a huge traitor in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

Just talk about Tong Guan, who had been in charge of the imperial guards for twenty years, abolished the entire imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

But taking credit is a good player.

In the fourth year of Xuanhe, he failed to attack Liao and begged the Jin thieves to attack Yanjing. Later, he redeemed the empty cities of Yanjing and others for millions of yuan, but he took great credit.

It was this year that the Jin thieves went south and attacked Taiyuan. As the Privy Councilor and the highest military and political chief in the country, they abandoned their entire army and fled south, causing the Song army's Western army to be in chaos and defeated.

Not to mention Wang Fu, Fang La's uprising, embellished peace, concealed and did not report it, causing disasters in the south.

Zhao Huan looked at these ministers who were like sages, with their own ulterior motives.

What is doing whatever you want?

It’s just that everything is up to me!

Zhao Huan shouted: "Where is Xie Dahai, the Imperial City Secretary?"

But a man in military uniform walked in, his eyes cold and his whole body exuded a solemn atmosphere, which made the whole court cold.

Li Bangyan quickly shouted angrily: "Bold warrior, this is the court, the place where the saint emperor and his ministers discuss. If you dare to bring a knife in, come here! Pull this person out and behead him!"

It has to be said that the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty have great power, and Li Bangyan dared to scold him in front of the emperor. Of course, afterwards, he would inevitably kneel on the ground and say that his guilty minister Meng Lang is a crime, and that he will never refuse to die for the sake of the safety of the emperor.

Li Bangyan's words were also the thoughts of other scholars and officials. So what if Xie Dahai was the emperor's personal army? The emperor's personal army could not bring a knife like a palace, which is a big taboo, not to mention that the martial arts are originally inferior to civil servants and several levels.

Zhao Huan said angrily: "Li Bangyan, you are so brave. Is it you or I am the emperor!"

Li Bangyan had already been ready, so he knelt down tremblingly: "Your Majesty calms down, I am worried that the Holy Body will be damaged, so I risk my life to be disrespectful!"

Rising death? The Song Dynasty had never killed scholars and officials before Qinzong. This was the ancestral system of Song. Even if Li Bangyan did this, he would definitely know that Zhao Huan would not kill him.

Not only will it not, it will also leave a good impression on the emperor.

Good impression? You should show this good impression to the King of Hell.
