Originally, Huang Qiong didn't want to evaluate the performance of these people, after all, the eight armies of the Imperial Forest were all the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and they were all under the control of the front division of the palace. If you talk too much, I'm afraid some people won't be able to get over it. At this moment, find yourself some unnecessary trouble. Coupled with the Great Qi ancestral system, the prince was not allowed to interfere in military affairs unless he was edicted. Don't be optimistic about the ancestral system, there are not many inheritances so far.

But this one, since the founding of the country, is an iron law that no one can touch. Even the deaf emperor strictly enforces this rule. Almost none of the princes who committed this taboo ended well. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't bear it, Huang Qiong would definitely not commit this taboo.

But these people have to follow him and King Yong today, Huang Qiong really doesn't want to take such a group of fancy people to go out and make trouble for herself. I am even more afraid that these soldiers will go out and disturb the people and bring some harm to the people. Therefore, Huang Qiong made a taboo today and said something that she had been restraining all along.

When Huang Qiong said this, although her tone was very flat, there was not even a trace of waves. But the stimulation of these soldiers was far stronger than what King Yong had said before. Although these soldiers are in the Imperial Forest Army, which has no war all year round, their duty is to protect the capital and the palace all day long, which means that they do not have many errands except for patrolling and standing guard.

But in any case, just like Huang Qiong said, after all, the Royal Forest Army is also a regular economic army, and it is also the pro-army of the Son of Heaven. Most of these people still have blood and pride. The pride in his chest as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven is even more full.

Although Huang Qiong's tone was flat when she said this, the meaning of her words was to stimulate the blood in these bones and the soldiers who contained the fighting spirit. Not to mention those who were picked, immediately adjust their clothes in the shortest possible time according to the requirements.

Even those who were not selected also stood straight in front of Huang Qiong. This hundred cavalrymen, who were originally living comfortably in Beijing, were loose, more fancy, and even a little arrogant and domineering, but they were inspired by Huang Qiong's words with a bit of murderous spirit.

Seeing these people stimulated by their words, they can finally take care of themselves. Huang Qiongcai nodded with satisfaction, and set off with a wave of his hand with the person he picked. And behind them, the soldiers who stood straight. Until Huang Qiong and his party were gone, they turned over and returned to the capital under the leadership of the two teams.

It's just that on the way back to Beijing, the rest of the cavalry, even if they were on horses, raised their heads one by one. The spears in his hands were not put down all the way, and they were even more standard than the four major battalions of the war. It didn't look like the return of the Guardians, but like a group of heroes who had won the battle and returned triumphantly.

When these eighty cavalry returned to the capital, the momentum was almost completely different from that before departure. It made the friendly troops who stayed in the capital feel extremely curious. I don't know what happened to these people, and how they have changed so much that the garrison at the east gate of the capital is so big, and I hurriedly reported the situation of these people to the palace front division in charge of the Imperial Forest Army.

Ask these Royal Foresters if they have delegated other tasks besides protecting the spirits this time. Why is this cavalry of only eighty people faintly murderous? As the garrison of the capital, this subordinate of the capital commander is naturally also in the Royal Forest Army system. As for the virtues of these bird soldiers under him, this one is too familiar.

And the front division of the palace received a report from the commander of the garrison, and several of the front division of the palace commanded the envoys, and they also did not know what was going on. According to the emperor's requirements, no matter how big or small the Imperial Forest Army is, it must be reported at the first time, and the palace front division can only report the matter to the emperor.

After receiving the report from the palace front division, the emperor was also a little inexplicable. After the two teams were summoned to inquire clearly, the emperor was silent for a long time when he learned what Huang Qiong said to these royal forest soldiers. Even if he didn't say anything, he didn't give any evaluation. didn't get angry because Huang Qiong and King Yong went to Songshan halfway to play.

Although the emperor didn't speak, several of the palace commanders in the Wende Hall were very dissatisfied with Huang Qiong's words. It's been less than a year since you left the palace and went to the house, and you don't necessarily know what is going on with the military affairs of other offices. Before leaving the palace, I am afraid that the prince, who may not even know what the soldiers are like, has the qualifications to point fingers here?

The Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest is indeed the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but fools know that these Imperial Forest Army are responsible for the daily garrison of the capital, the palace guards and various ceremonial palace courts. At most, when the emperor travels, he follows Hu Xing and Su Wei, and the exercises are customized on weekdays.

The Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest is not a war army in itself. As long as the enemy army does not hit the capital, it can even be said that it does not hit the palace. No matter how turbulent the world is, who can send these sons of heaven to the battlefield when they are full of food? You are a prince who is not good at enjoying your glory and wealth, where do you eat radishes and worry about it?

These noble-born commanders of the front division of the palace were not generally dissatisfied with Huang Qiong's words. Because in their eyes, the King's words clearly mean something else. accused several of them in disguise, who were in a high position but did not do their job well and train soldiers.

Among them, especially the commander of Sima Jun in front of Chongdian, Jiaxing Bogao Peishan was the most dissatisfied, because Huang Qiong's words were said to the cavalry. And he, the commander of the Sima army in front of the palace, is in charge of all the cavalry in the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest. Huang Qiong's words almost slapped him in the face directly.

His ancestor was the highest knight among the descendants of the founding heroes of the palace, and was posthumously named the king of the county after his death. Although the title has come to him, it has been reduced to the earl. But in age and seniority, he is the tallest among the descendants of all the meritorious heroes in front of the palace. Therefore, this old man is somewhat dependent on the old and sells the old.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, this uncle Gao said directly: "Your Majesty, is the king's words a bit excessive?" According to Emperor Taizong's order, the prince is not allowed to interfere in Jiuqing or meddle in military affairs unless he is ordered by the Holy Order. Now the King of England not only went to Songshan with King Yong to play during the queen's funeral, but also interfered in military affairs without authorization, which not only violated the ancestral system. ”

"On weekdays, the main responsibility of the Eighth Army of the Royal Forest is to serve as the garrison of the capital and the palace guard, not like the four major battalions. The subjects of the drill are naturally different from those of the four major battalions. This point should be clear to the emperor, and the king should also understand. The old minister now doesn't know what the king's unwarranted accusations are. ”

Regarding this Jiaxing Bo's words, the emperor waved his hand and said: "Ah Jiu's words are just a little opinion, but they will not interfere in military affairs." And I don't think these words are bad words. Although it is a little difficult for you to accept, I think it is a good medicine. ”

"Ah Jiu is right, although the duty of the Eighth Army of the Royal Forest is not a war army, but as a soldier of my Great Qi, I still have to have the blood. Moreover, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, the Eighth Army of the Royal Forest has a status above the ordinary armies, and it must set an example for the armies. This is what the Son of Heaven should do in his army. ”

"Sima Fa" has a cloud, although the country is big, the warlike will perish, although the world is peaceful, forget the war will be dangerous, the ancients still knew this truth. You are all from a family of military generals, how can you not know this truth? You told me, is the world really peaceful now, and it's really time for Ma to put Nanshan? ”

"If one day, I really need to go on a personal expedition, will I take the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest with me, or will I just stay in the capital to watch my family? I see that what Ah Jiu said is right, the Eighth Army of the Royal Forest is indeed a little peaceful now, but some have forgotten their duty. Ah Jiu, it's just for them, or for you to wake up. ”

"I think that in the future, the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest should also participate in the rotation of the border army, just like the four major battalions. The time spent in the capital is too long, and the officials are not delayed in being promoted, and they are almost becoming young masters one by one. As the saying goes: jade can't be cut into these people. These people, it's time to hone and hone. You go back and think about it, and come up with a charter first. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor stopped the rest of the commanders from talking about the topic: "Take out the charter, first sum it up with the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, listen to the opinions of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, and then give me a fold." Okay, I'm a little tired these days, so you can kneel down first. ”

Seeing that the emperor was very resolute, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly and retreat. In fact, the emperor's request to participate in the arguments of the border army is like a bolt from the blue for these founding heroes who are in charge of the front division of the palace and the nobles of this dynasty.

As for the reason, it is very simple, the Eighth Army of the Royal Forest is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, which is different from the four battalions of military horses that need to be rotated with the border army on a regular basis. On weekdays, you only need to be responsible for the garrison of the capital and the palace guards, and there is no chance to go to the battlefield at all. It is located in the bustling capital.

Moreover, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, not only has the salary always been rich, but the speed of promotion is also not slow. Compared with the border armies in the north and northwest regions, the four major battalions of military horses will go out of Beijing to fight whenever there is a war. The Eight Armies of the Royal Forest are like heaven, don't live too comfortably in a small life.

Therefore, the Eighth Army of the Royal Forest has always been the first choice for the children of military families. There are even many descendants of nobles who are not the eldest sons and cannot inherit the titles handed down by their ancestors, and they specialize in serving in the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest through various ways. In the hearts of these people, they can receive the highest salary of the entire Great Qi Dynasty without risking going to the battlefield.

As long as the emperor and the crown prince, and even the princes in Beijing are well served, the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest will not delay the promotion, it is like a comfortable nest. This time, the emperor actually wanted to participate in the rotation of the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest with the border army. This undoubtedly made these noble children, the original painstaking arrangements, turned into a bunch of bubbles in a blink of an eye.

Not only did the descendants of these commanders, deputy commanders, and commanders have the risk that they might be sent to the battlefield at any time. also put a large number of children of the family in danger. These people's fathers or uncles are now in important positions. If this attitude is really implemented, I am afraid that I will offend a large number of people this time.

When they left the palace, these people stared at each other, and some didn't know what to do. Don't look at them, they are all descendants of the founding heroes, and they are from a family of military generals. But the brave spirit left by the ancestors has disappeared completely under the peace of more than 100 years.
