"My name is Dian Wei. I'm a country bumpkin and have quite a bit of brute force. I want to join a famous master. I hope Your Majesty will not give up!”
Li Zhi was pleasantly surprised. With Fan Kuai, the enemy of ten thousand men, and now with Dian Wei's assistance, these two alone could intimidate a large number of soldiers.
"My name is Yang Ye, proficient in spear arts. I wish to serve Your Majesty!”
Li Zhi was very familiar with the name Yang Ye. This was the father of the Yang family generals, the famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Ye. His sons, Yang Yanzhao, Yang Wenguang, Yang Yanxun, and others all had rare generals.
Li Zhi respected this general very much. He was a loyal and admirable general.
"My name is Yan Song, and my name is Wei Zhong. I'm a Confucian scholar. I failed many times in the examination, so I came to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can take me in.”
The last resume was actually from Yan Song, the treacherous official of the Zhengde era.
Yan Song was quite honest here. He directly told him that he couldn't pass the Jinshi examination many times, so he relied on Li Zhi.
However, Li Zhi knew that Yan Song had been a high school scholar at the age of 25. He could be said to be extremely talented.
Although Yan Song wasn't as brave as Dian Wei, Fan Kuai, or Yang Ye, he was still very useful. In the Imperial Court, there was a lot of scheming and internal strife. If Yan Song was in the Imperial Court, then it would be much easier for him in the Imperial Court.
Li Zhizheng intended to accept these resumes and bring these civil and military officials to his side.
At this moment, a eunuch walked in.
Holding the floating dust in his hand, he said with a smile,"Reporting to Your Majesty, spring is now warm and the flowers are blooming. The eight Empresses have invited Your Majesty to go hunting in the suburbs. Please make preparations and set off immediately after lunch.”
"Oh?" Li Zhi was stunned. He didn't know what these eight women were up to again. What was their motive for asking him to go hunting?
"Alright, I know. You can leave.”Li Zhi pretended to be calm.
After the eunuch took his leave.
Li Zhi thought to himself that this was a good opportunity to summon the civil and military officials he had recruited.
Moreover, he had mastered the art of riding and archery. He could also use it to intimidate the women.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already after lunch.
Surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, Li Zhi arrived outside the palace gate and rode on a tall horse.
If these eunuchs and female lords were to serve Li Zhi, such as when the emperor was hungry, thirsty, or when he was going out to pay his respects, they would all be specially assigned to serve him.
Beside him were a large number of guards on both sides.
He glanced at the guards and deliberately rode closer to them to see if they were loyal to him.
In the end, he discovered that only about half of them were still loyal to the Imperial Court, while the other half had a certain degree of hostility towards him.
Even so, Li Zhi was already very happy. It gave him a lot of confidence. After all, there were still so many people supporting him. As long as there were people supporting him, he had hope of turning the tables.
Sooner or later, he would press these b * tches under him and ruthlessly ruin them.
Li Zhi led a large group of people towards the agreed location. This large group of people had to pass through the downtown area, so the entire street was already under martial law.
There were professionals on both sides of the street and in the shops to check for danger.
He sat on the tall horse, holding the reins with one hand and spreading out the other. Then, he quickly summoned the five of them.
Li Zhi wasn't worried at all about how these generals would appear. If they appeared in front of Li Zhi in a flash of golden light, that would be what he was looking forward to the most.
Then, he could play tricks and play the game of divine right of kings to completely intimidate those who supported the eighth empress.
Perhaps even the eighth queen would turn back after seeing him manifest a miracle.
The truth was that Li Zhi was thinking too much.
There was no flash of golden light or a few auspicious clouds floating in the sky. It could even be said that there was no performance at all.
It was as if this matter had never happened.
Li Zhi was speechless. He wondered if he had been cheated.
At this moment, there seemed to be an argument in front of the team.
"I want to see His Majesty. I was hired by His Majesty.”A rough voice sounded in front of them.
At the same time, many soldiers were pushing and scolding him.
Li Zhi looked over and found that this person was eight feet tall. His face was dark and his body was terrifyingly strong. There were some cracks on his face, making him look extremely mighty and majestic.
"Bring the person in front over!" Li Zhi said to the eunuch beside him.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch jogged off.
When they parted the crowd, Li Zhi saw the burly man holding a soldier in each hand. He was about to throw him out when he saw the eunuch calling for him. He smiled and put the two of them down.
The two of them were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated. They looked at the burly man with fear in their eyes.
Li Zhi smiled, knowing that this man must be one of Fan Kuai and Dian Wei.
"Fan Kuai greets Your Majesty!" The burly man arrived in front of Li Zhi's horse, knelt on both knees, and kowtowed.
"Haha, Hero Fan, please rise!”Li Zhi dismounted and helped the man up.
The more he looked at this bear-like man, the happier he became.
If he had this person by his side to protect him, even a hundred or eighty warriors might not be able to get close.
She was simply the first choice for a bodyguard.
"Hero Fan is indeed majestic and mighty. I will appoint you as my substitute guard and give you a third-grade official title!”Li Zhi put his hand on Fan Kuai's shoulder in satisfaction and said solemnly.
The surrounding guards and eunuchs were flabbergasted.
A mere guard was actually directly conferred the rank of Secondary Third Grade. That was equivalent to the rank of Imperial Censor, Minister of Justice, Secretary Supervisor, and Guanglu Physician.
This kid's starting point was too high.
Moreover, looking at the kid's clothes, they were tattered and covered in blood. He simply looked like a butcher.
The person who was slaughtering pigs and dogs just a moment ago had instantly become an existence comparable to an imperial censor or a minister of the Supreme Court.
Many people felt very uncomfortable about this.
How many people would spend their entire lives without a grade?
"Your Majesty, our dynasty has a system. The position of a bodyguard cannot exceed the rank of a fifth rank official.”A eunuch approached Li Zhi and reminded him softly.
Li Zhi looked at him. He remembered that this eunuch seemed to be on Lu Zhi's side. He went to Changle Palace more often than he went home.
Li Zhi was very disgusted with this person and scolded angrily,"You need to talk too much? Do I need to ask you what rank I want to be conferred?"
The eunuch's face turned pale in fear and he quickly knelt on the ground." I dare not! Everything will be decided by the emperor!"
"Humph!" Li Zhi snorted coldly.
Then, he looked at the guards and said,"The few of you go and get him a set of clothes.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
They quickly sent people to the Internal Affairs Office to apply for all kinds of armor, official uniforms, and horses.
Not long after, the noisy scene happened again.
It was exactly the same as before.
Li Zhi was delighted. He knew that Dian Wei had come.
He asked the eunuch to bring Dian Wei to him.
Dian Wei and Fan Kuai actually looked quite similar. They were both tall and strong, with dark faces and arms as thick as a child's waist. They were like bears.
Dian Wei and Fan Kuai hit it off at first sight, and they actually felt like they could appreciate each other. They put their arms around each other's shoulders and were very close.
The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched. He thought to himself,"Don't be gay. That scene is too beautiful. Ordinary people will be scared sh * tless."
