More than seventy years ago, he fought his way to Liaodong outside the Great Wall, and one of his legs was fed to Wong Tai Sin.
Fifty years ago, I lost my last leg while suppressing the White Lotus Rebellion, so I'm completely crippled now.
I am from a collateral branch of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and all my cultivation was given to me by the Great Zhou. I have fought for the Great Zhou my whole life, and I can say that I have no regrets.
It's a pity that I, a mere warrior, cannot save the Great Zhou Dynasty. I can only watch helplessly as it declines to this day.
Young man, I can see many things in you, but I can't see any reverence for the Great Zhou or the imperial court.
Of course, there's nothing to be awe-inspired about the Great Zhou now. All that young people like Shangguan Ling and Chu Wenze have left are the desires for promotion and wealth.
However, I still hope that if you obtain the Great Zhou's cultivation technique, you can help Great Zhou at crucial moments.
Of course, every dynasty has its destiny. If one day the empire is about to collapse, you don't need to force it.
The old man who had fought for the Great Zhou Dynasty all his life was sitting alone in the library, while some incompetent people occupied the court. In Yang Cheng's eyes, this was quite ironic.
"Don't worry, senior. The Great Zhou will not perish. At least it will not perish while I am here."
Since the cycle of reincarnation has given Yang Cheng the task of protecting Zhou Heng, it is imperative to maintain the balance of this world.
Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty will not perish, and Yang Cheng does not want his mission to fail.
There are still many things in this world that Yang Cheng can explore.
After leaving the Sutra Repository, Yang Cheng did not linger in the palace but went straight back to the Imperial Guard Office.
However, as soon as Yang Cheng entered the Imperial Guard, Zhang Meng called him over and whispered, "Brother Yang, the eunuch is waiting for you inside, but he seems to be in a bad mood. Be careful later."
Yang Cheng thought for a moment, then squinted and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Brother Zhang."
Upon entering Eunuch Han's main hall, Eunuch Han's expression was indeed slightly gloomy.
Seeing Yang Cheng enter, Eunuch Han looked at him with a half-smile, his tone sharp and strange:
"Yang Cheng, you and His Majesty get along very well, you even chatted for quite a while."
His Majesty even broke with centuries-old traditions and added the title of Commander to the Imperial Guard to promote you.
Now that you're second only to the Emperor in the Imperial Guard, we have to give you some face.
Yang Cheng knew immediately that the old man was jealous. He was jealous that Zhou Heng had talked for so long and received such a great reward.
Among the powerful figures in the court, Han Gonggong's power was actually the most unstable.
Zhang Xiren's power stemmed from his reputation and the confidence he built as a veteran of three dynasties.
Grand Tutor Cai's power stemmed from the support of the Empress Dowager, and nearly half of the civil officials in the court were from his faction.
Only Eunuch Han's power came entirely from the emperor; the moment he fell out of favor, his power would be taken back in an instant.
Therefore, Eunuch Han was also extremely afraid of this. The main task of the Imperial Guard was to please the emperor.
This time, when Yang Cheng showed off his power in front of the emperor, Eunuch Han was initially quite pleased, after all, Yang Cheng was one of his men.
Yang Chengwei also made an appearance.
But then Yang Cheng actually talked with His Majesty for so long and even received such a great reward, which made Han Jin feel uneasy.
He was a eunuch, a royal servant, so his position as Grand Eunuch was already his limit; there was nothing more he could be rewarded with.
So he could only watch helplessly as Yang Cheng received a large reward and even tried to divide the power of his own Imperial Guard. How could Eunuch Han tolerate this?
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "What are you saying, sir? You are my mentor. If it weren't for your appreciation, how could I have gotten to where I am today?"
That so-called Commander of the Imperial Guard was just a title His Majesty casually added, and I dare not object.
But whether he is a commander or a general, your subordinates will always be your subordinates, sir; that will never change.
Hearing Yang Cheng's reasonable words, Han Jin's expression improved somewhat.
With a light snort, Han Jin said indifferently, "At least you still have some conscience."
However, we are not stingy. Tomorrow at the Miyakoji meeting, we will announce that you have become the commander.
"Since His Majesty has promoted you, you should naturally act like one."
"Thank you, sir. Then I will not disturb your rest any longer."
As Yang Cheng stepped out of Eunuch Han's main hall, his gaze turned somewhat cold.
That old eunuch is a bit petty.
Yang Cheng originally planned to use the Guardian Division as a front to expand his own power.
But now it seems I might have to change my plans.
He had no interest in wasting his time scheming against this old eunuch!
