Chapter Seventy: Commandant of the Imperial Guard



In fact, the authority of the Omamori (御守司) is quite extensive.

Internally, the Imperial Guard was primarily responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial city and was part of the emperor's personal army.

Externally, the Imperial Guard could monitor all officials and apprehend criminals.

Against the enemy, the Imperial Guards could also serve to gather intelligence, infiltrate and spy on enemy positions, and so on.

However, Eunuch Han was too petty and lacked a comprehensive plan for the Imperial Guard. He did things haphazardly, trying to meddle in everything, but ended up not understanding anything.

Of course, Han Gonggong also had an advantage, which was that he was highly trusted by the emperor.

When the late emperor was alive, Eunuch Han was the chief eunuch who was the personal attendant of the current emperor. He accompanied the emperor as he grew up and later naturally became the chief eunuch of the inner palace, in charge of the Imperial Guard.

With forty years of friendship, as long as Eunuch Han doesn't rebel, there's almost no chance of any problems.

However, in other words, it would be meaningless for a eunuch like him to rebel.

Finally, Zhang Meng patted Yang Sheng on the shoulder and lowered his voice, saying, "Brother Yang, you saved my life, so there are some things I shouldn't say that I have to tell you."

When working under Eunuch Han, the most important thing is to get things done well and avoid making any mistakes.

That guy is notoriously mean and ungrateful. Don't be fooled by his praise and compliments now; if anything goes wrong, he'll be the first to throw you out.

Yang Sheng smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Zhang."

Although Zhang Meng was a member of the Imperial Guard, he came from the Imperial Guard, so he was rather rough and straightforward in his actions, and also valued loyalty. He even said such taboo things to Yang Sheng.

In fact, this is the experience that Zhang Meng has accumulated over the years by working his way up in the Imperial Guard.

They suffered countless losses in the process.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Meng, Yang Sheng went straight back to the side hall of the Imperial Guard.

The rank of Captain of the Imperial Guard is fifth grade, which is considered a mid-level military officer.

The entire Imperial Guard Command has twenty-seven captains who are responsible for external military force.

There are also twelve chief eunuchs in charge of logistics, intelligence and other miscellaneous tasks.

Because each commander of the Imperial Guard has anywhere from a few dozen to over a hundred men under his command, each person has a separate side hall, and there are barracks, drill grounds, and other places in the backyard.

After all, they were the emperor's personal guards, so the Imperial Guard was quite wealthy and extravagant.

Inside the training ground in the side hall, Chen Da was practicing a set of staff techniques, while Yin Wuxie was staring intently at a small stone hanging from a hair's breadth, stabbing it in half with his sword as it swayed rapidly.

Only Ye Meiniang was reclining in her chair, drinking a glass of juice made from some random, possibly poisonous, fruit, and looking at the two people in front of her with boredom.

"Meiniang, give me a few more strands of hair."

Ye Meiniang said irritably, "All you do is practice, practice, practice with that lousy sword of yours! You're going to pluck all my hair out!"

Seeing Yang Sheng walk in, Ye Meiniang decisively pulled out a few strands of hair and stuffed them into Yin Wuxie's hand. She then swayed her slender waist as she walked over and shoved the juice in her hand into Yang Sheng's hand.

"Sir, please try this. It's a newly mixed juice that's good for male enhancement and health."

Yang Sheng glanced at the slightly cloudy liquid in the glass but didn't dare to drink it. He just waved his hand and said, "From now on, we are officially members of the Guardian Division."

However, the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it; everyone should be more careful in the future and it's best not to act alone.

After giving them some instructions, Yang Sheng suddenly asked, "By the way, how exactly is strength determined in the martial arts world? Is it based on the strength of internal energy?"

Yang Sheng had just arrived in this world the day before yesterday, and his first thought was naturally how to make a breakthrough. Only today did he want to take a closer look at the power system of this world.
