Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 8: Reform of the Guards
"The Pacification Office?" Xu Hao was stunned.

The imperial palace guards are not under the jurisdiction of the Pacification Office.

What's the matter with asking him to report?

Xu Hao pondered for a moment and didn't take it seriously.

If it was the original owner, he might still be worried about his lack of strength, but he is now at the human level, capable of performing the duties of an ordinary palace guard.

"Okay, I understand!" Xu Hao nodded to show that he understood.

Whether it is the opportunity panel or to protect one's own interests, the profession of the imperial palace guard cannot be given up, and must even be made bigger and stronger.

Next, Xu Hao talked with Xu Qianzhi for a while and then returned to the room to rest.

The night is getting darker.

The entire capital city is still bustling at night.

However, it was still influenced by the White Lotus Sect. Except for a few happy places, there was basically no one walking on the streets at night.

Boom boom boom.

The battle in the capital also came to an end quickly.

Under the strong suppression of the Pacification Office, the injured leader of the White Lotus Sect who fled was finally brought to justice.

At the same time, in a quiet courtyard, a middle-aged man was quietly looking at the chessboard on the stone pavilion. Seeing the chess pieces that were shining on it dim, he sighed.

"waste!"

In the end, the middle-aged man only uttered two words.

"Someone, come and thoroughly investigate the situation of Xu's business. Why did you choose this time?" The middle-aged man hated it secretly.

He finally managed to persuade the White Lotus Sect to attack the imperial palace in order to overthrow the rule of the Great Xuan Dynasty, but an unexpected event occurred.

The White Lotus Sect failed, and although it did not achieve its goal, he was able to gather the remnants of the White Lotus Sect and still use them for his own purposes.

But what happens next is that you are restricted everywhere.

Even the leader of the White Lotus Church, whom he had high hopes for, was found by the Pacification Division during the flood tonight.

"Ninth Princess, Xuan Qingxiao, everyone in the world underestimates you!" The middle-aged man sighed.

Everything was on the chessboard, and he had planned everything out, but a mysterious heavenly-level expert appeared innocently, and Xuan Qingxiao also showed up and took charge of the Pacification Office, causing the White Lotus Sect to fail.

Not only that, Xuan Qingxiao's methods were so strong that other people in the court dared not complain at all, and even he was unable to move.

"This game of chess is not over yet, and it's still unknown who will win." The middle-aged man snorted and began to lay out his plans, preparing to take control of the chess pieces again.

At this moment, the Pacification Office was brightly lit, with strong men from all sides coming and going, taking some rebels into jail.

Among them, in the main hall of the Pacification Office, a tall figure was sitting upright.

She was like a fairy high above, just sitting there, exuding a huge pressure invisibly.

"Beautiful" is not enough to describe her beauty; it is no exaggeration to say that she is stunningly beautiful.

She is the ninth princess of the Daxuan Dynasty and the most beautiful person in the Daxuan Dynasty, Xuan Qingxiao.

"Your Highness, all the main leaders of the White Lotus Sect have been arrested. Please give us your instructions!" A slim woman walked in from outside the Pacification Office hall, then knelt in the hall, very respectful.

"Well, what happened this time?" Xuan Qingxiao asked as he opened the information handed to him.

The female guard replied respectfully, "This time it was the Xu family's business that caught fire, spreading to the nearby courtyards. The fire burned down the White Lotus Church leader's hiding place."

"Xu's Business? Investigate it!" Xuan Qingxiao ordered calmly.

"Yes!" The female attendant Tang Wan'er nodded and continued without leaving, "The order of the imperial palace guards has been issued, but..."

"But what? Tell me!" Xuan Qingxiao said seriously.

"A large part of the palace guards are people with good backgrounds, and some even have good luck. Do we have to be so thorough?" The female attendant Tang Wan'er reminded her, not wanting the Ninth Princess to be too decisive.

Eat your food bite by bite and walk your road step by step.

The people in the palace are basically strong. No matter they are princes and princesses or concubines, they are not weak and they are protected by eunuchs.

The entire palace has a palace guard, which is basically assigned to some powerful people with good backgrounds but not much qualifications for cultivation.

It is dispensable, this is a tradition, and it is also an act of winning over various forces and being a disguised proton.

Now, Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao had directly incorporated the Imperial Palace Guards into the Pacification Division. According to the Division's rules, at least half of them would have to be eliminated. "No problem, let's cut the Gordian knot. After this incident, I believe most of them won't want to serve as Imperial Palace Guards anymore. Let's take this opportunity to eliminate some of them!" Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao waved her hand and said without question, "The order has been issued. Execute!"

"Yes!" Female attendant Tang Wan'er sighed and turned to leave.

The ninth princess Xuan Qingxiao raised her head and looked outside the hall, shaking her head slightly.

She also wanted to reform slowly, but the current Daxuan Dynasty was in a state of decline, and how could it be reversed without taking drastic measures?

This time it’s the White Lotus Sect, but who knows who it will be next time.

Moreover, as the most powerful institution of the Daxuan Dynasty, she must take control of the Zhenfu Division and eliminate the harm it causes. She must make the Zhenfu Division fulfill its responsibilities and thus protect the entire Daxuan Dynasty.

Those with good conditions should be cultivated, and those with poor qualifications can only be eliminated.

From today on, the Pacification Office will not keep any idle people!

"I hope there's still time!" There was a hint of worry in the eyes of the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao.

Soon, it was getting bright.

Xu Hao got up early, washed, put on the robe of the imperial guard, slung a long steel sword over his shoulder, said goodbye to Xu Qianzhi, and ran to the Pacification Office.

The Zhenfu Division occupies a vast area to the east of the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The building is large and gorgeous.

When Xu Hao came here and looked up at the huge building, he took a deep breath and walked straight in.

People coming and going were also guarded by strong men from the Pacification Office.

Xu Hao felt tremendous pressure as he walked along.

Especially the slightest aura of those strong men killing at will makes people dare not breathe.

Xu Hao revealed his identity and was then pointed to a huge parade ground.

"Xu Hao, this way!" As soon as Xu Hao arrived at the square, someone waved to him.

Xu Hao took a quick look and walked over immediately.

The person waving at him was his former colleague in the Royal Guard, with whom he usually got along well.

Because Xu Hao's family background was relatively good and he was able to buy his way into an official position, the people he made friends with naturally came from similar backgrounds and had similar interests.

Xu Hao approached, and several other palace guards also greeted him with smiles. "Brother Xu, I heard that you were attacked and injured last time while on duty for Jia Gui. How are you doing?"

Last time, it wasn't Xu Hao's class, but he went anyway and almost died.

They only found out recently.

"Thank you for your concern. Am I recovered now?!" Xu Hao responded with a smile.

"Brother Xu, don't blame me for being nosy. Wu Yanyan is definitely not a good match." Chen Changhe whispered to comfort him.

They all worked together, and he felt sorry for Xu Hao.

He gave his heart and soul to Wu Yanyan, but got nothing in return. He even heard that Wu Yanyan was having an affair with Jia Gui.

But the people in power were confused, and he tried to persuade them many times, but with little effect.

Even in the end, Xu Hao was prone to falling out.

He didn't understand what was so attractive about Wu Yanyan? She was far inferior to the most attractive courtesans in brothels. Was it just because Wu Yanyan's father was the head of the Ministry of Revenue?
"I understand, don't worry," Xu Hao gave a reassuring smile.

Who would still be a bootlicker after traveling through time? He has a cheat now, so he should practice hard. Once his cultivation and strength improve, why would he worry about not being able to find a woman?

Last time he even ignored the empress, so why would he care about a mere Wu Yanyan?

Chen Changhe saw Xu Hao's carefree expression and didn't know whether he had heard it or not, so he could only sigh helplessly.

After a while of pleasantries, Xu Hao finally asked, "What's going on here? Does anyone know?"

"I know a little!" Chen Changhe looked around and whispered, "The Ninth Princess, who is now in charge of the Pacification Bureau, is preparing to carry out reforms, and the Imperial Palace Guards are also being incorporated into the Pacification Bureau system."

"Ah? The Imperial Guards are only on duty, the Pacification Division must be dispatched!"
