Li Mang and others crossed the border in two days and returned to the imperial capital on the tenth day, although the task was not completed and the people were tired, but they were in a good mood.

Liu Jing didn't blame them, but arranged a dinner party to entertain everyone in a hurry, and even those internal guards received a lot of rewards, which made these thousands of internal guard soldiers feel even more that they have a bright future with Li Mang.

In the early morning of the second day, Emperor Liu Jing held a rare court meeting, and the city lords must have gotten the news a few days ago, and one of them appeared in the morning court, and Li Mang also appeared in the hall for the first time, and he actually stood on Zhang Cang's side.

I saw that he was dressed in a white robe, although he was thin, his eyes were bright and imposing, and everyone did not dare to despise him. Many courtiers had only heard of his name, and today it was the first time they saw the deity, so everyone's eyes swept frequently.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, Liu Jingdu did not speak, and saw two internal officials stepping up the high ranks, one of them holding a gold plate in his hand, and the other respectfully took down a holy decree with both hands, and said loudly after unfolding it.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: the sage Li Mang, the name is in the world, the merit is in the thousand years, I am favored by heaven, and I am assisted by the virtuous, and now I conform to the will of heaven, and Feng Li Mang is the virtuous king of the dynasty, and I do not kneel when I see me, assist the Son of Heaven, and manage the government together. He was given a mansion in the imperial city, a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, a hundred slaves and maidservants, and dozens of rare treasures."

The hundred officials were in an uproar, and Gu was talking to each other, but without waiting for everyone to whisper a few words, he listened to the internal official continue.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: the military of the dynasty is not yet complete, I am afraid of external troubles, I am determined to become an army again, give the name 'Heavenly Army', and make the virtuous king Li Mang temporarily act as the commander, and all matters of the Heavenly Army will be handled with full authority, and there is no need to play"

"Wow..."At this moment, the golden hall seemed to be as noisy as a fried pot, no matter how strong this mang, it would not be able to take charge of the army again as soon as he was crowned official, right? Seeing that I did not kneel, I had full authority to deal with it? Is this the prerogative of the prince of the opposite sex? But before the hundred officials could object, the voice of the internal official sounded again.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Fenghua eldest princess, my sister, noble status, smart and sensitive since childhood, brilliant and beautiful, the emperor and I love very much. Now the eldest princess is of marriageable age, and she loves the virtuous king Limang, for the beauty of adults, I give marriage to the two, all etiquette by the Ministry of Etiquette to do, announce to Shenzhou, Xian envoy to hear it. Chin!"

Today's Golden Palace is really wave after wave, and the three holy decrees written by His Majesty in succession are really unclear to the civil and military officials, and Li Mang has gone straight to the sky from a white dress, which can be compared with His Majesty the Emperor.

"King Xian, please accept the order," at this time, the two officials on the steps came to Li Mang with a gold plate and said respectfully.

Li Mang nodded, took the gold plate, and said to Liu Jing, who was seated: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then he handed the gold plate back to an internal official, who held the gold plate and stood behind Li Mang.

Only then did Liu Jing speak: "Today's court meeting, I only have these few things, and I won't talk about the rest today, I will talk to all Aiqing about the unification of Shenzhou."

As soon as these words came out, the hundred officials were shocked again, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as dumbfounded, but many generals were excited.

Liu Jingke didn't care about anything else, and said directly: "I will use troops against Dawu in the near future, I hope you Aiqing will not drag me back, what I want, you will do anything, do your duty well, in the coming day Shenzhou will be unified, your benefits will naturally not be less, whether you can shade future generations, depends on your performance."

"The ministers will bow and do their best, and their livers and brains will be smeared to the ground, in order to repay the grace of the saint," the hundred officials hurriedly bowed and assured.

"Okay, King Xian will stay for a while, and the rest of the people will wait for me in the imperial study."

After the civil and military officials dispersed, only Liu Jing and Li Mang remained in the main hall. Liu Jing looked at Li Mang and said: "After a while, I will ask the internal official to take you to the military camp, everything is available, only you are missing, those who are not satisfied can just go back to their hometown, and if there are not enough people to come and talk to me, in addition, I will also let people place your official uniform or something in your Xianwang Mansion, you can go back to the mansion first to see, if there is anything you need to tell the internal official directly."

Li Mang nodded and said, "Okay, that's enough, I'll go to the barracks first, nothing else matters, I'll leave if it's okay."

"Fuck off, there's no one right, fortunately, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are not here, otherwise you will definitely be impeached" Liu Jing scolded with a smile.

Li Mang laughed, waved his hand, and walked out.

They are now a family, and Li Mang is such a person, Liu Jing also likes the atmosphere between the two, so he will never ask Li Mang to do those things that are in order.

......

Outside the imperial capital, in the barracks of the Heavenly Army, the military flags were hunting, the war drums were rumbling, and at this time, tens of thousands of sergeants had already finished lining up, waiting for Li Mang's review.

Li Mang stood on the rostrum with a stone canopy and Bai Qiu, looking at the tens of thousands of young people with high morale below, and for a while, thousands of pride surged in his chest, a good man is to be a soldier.

Li Mang took a deep breath and said loudly: "The inner realm stands on the left, the body realm stands on the right, move", he doesn't prepare any speeches, he doesn't prepare to say anything cheering, he doesn't prepare any special opening remarks, just to see the results in action.

As soon as Li Mang finished speaking, he saw tens of thousands of soldiers moving quickly, and in just a moment, the two teams were separated, which shows that these people are the elite of each army, otherwise they would not have been selected here.

Li Mang nodded, looked at the audience, there were about 5,000 people in the inner realm, and the rest were in the physical realm, and then Li Mang spoke again: "Stand up straight at the extreme of the physical realm, and squat down under the extreme."

"Bang", the sound of neat armor colliding sounded, and I saw that there were as many as 10,000 people standing in the body realm phalanx.

Li Mang was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and then said with some pity: "The people who squat, leave by themselves after registration, this king can't use so many people for the first time to recruit, and can only grieve you for a trip in vain, but this king will definitely give priority to you next time he chooses people, and he will receive ten taels of silver from each person from the internal officials later, which will be counted as this king inviting you to drink."

Although the squatting man hesitated a little, he finally didn't say anything, turned around and left, and it was the duty of a soldier to obey orders.

"The rest of you, don't be too happy, this king will eliminate some people at any time, look at your next performance, start now, run around the martial arts arena until you can't run, Shi Canopy, Bai Qiu Supervision, let's start."

"Yes" The two responded, jumped off the rostrum, and quickly entered the role, this is in the army, the two of them naturally have to follow the rules, otherwise how to convince the public.

All morning, more than 15,000 soldiers spent the whole day running, and when Li Mang returned, these people were already exhausted and paralyzed.

"Assemble" shouted sharply.

Seeing that more than 15,000 people hurriedly moved, crawled out of the martial arts arena, and rushed towards the rostrum, naturally many people were unwilling to get up, or they really couldn't get up.

More than 10,000 soldiers in the audience gathered crookedly into a pile, where was there still the energetic appearance before, Li Mang glanced at these people in the audience, and then looked at the people who were still struggling in the distance, but it was difficult to get up or move slowly, so he said sharply: "If you don't come, don't come, take the money and leave."

After some counting, there were only 10,000 people left in the audience, and nearly 5,000 people were eliminated in just one morning, and most of them were soldiers who cultivated in the inner realm. However, Li Mang obviously didn't care, he knew in his heart that these people who were eliminated were just some rich sons or children of official eunuchs, and they couldn't endure hardships, so they naturally couldn't enter the heavenly army.

Li Mang looked at the remaining 10,000 people and said: "Congratulations, now you are the reserve of the Heavenly Army, what awaits you next will be hell, if someone quits now, speak as soon as possible, otherwise... Has anyone quit?"

"No," shouted the crowd at the top of their lungs.

"Okay, very good, I hope your attitude can be so tough tomorrow, go to rest and sleep in the afternoon, and officially start training tomorrow" Li Mang finished speaking and left, and there were two people in the barracks who looked at Shi Peng and Bai Qiu, it was enough.

Xianwang Mansion, Li Mang stood in front of his mansion, looking at the three big golden characters, and was in a trance for a while.

"The prince is back, please come in" A voice woke up Li Mang, and he saw that the person who spoke was the Three Treasures.

"Sanbao, hey, I've been busy lately, who arranged for you?" Li Mang said with a little embarrassment.

"The prince has a lot of opportunities, how can he take care of it so thoroughly, it was arranged by His Majesty before, let the villain be a housekeeper in the prince's mansion, the little one is already very grateful" Sanbao said in fear.

"How can you say that, I brought you out, naturally I have to take care of you, okay, settle down in the house first, and I will take you to the army after a while, you are also an excellent hunter, how can you waste your talent" Li Mang patted him on the shoulder and said.

Sanbao was overjoyed when he heard this, bowed again and again, and then said, "Lord Wang, I will lead you around?"

"Okay, this king's mansion, naturally you have to go around and lead the way, haha..."

"Lord, this is where the people of the palace live... This is the kitchen... It's the back garden..."
