Chapter 42 For the country's wings, like the prosperity of the forest
Xiahouan did not immediately agree.
He asked Ding Gong: If I stay in Shangshutai, will I be like them, busy with these bamboo slips every day.
Ding Gong nodded.
The people in Shangshutai are very busy, including him.
From morning to night, there is hardly much time to rest.
"Then I'm not going to do this......"
Xia Houan said without hesitation, it was enough to waste his brain by working for Boss Cao, and if he did these again, it was estimated that his brain would have to be cracked.
Ding Gong was a little surprised by this, Shangshutai was a place that many people couldn't dream of entering, but Xiahou An actually refused.
Could it be that he still wants a higher position?
The wrinkles on Ding Gong's forehead deepened a little, he looked at the young man in the hall and asked, "Then what do you like?"
Speaking of this, Xiahou An also has a plan in his heart: "Is there the kind of position that you can get a position without thinking about it, practicing martial arts every day, riding a horse, and being able to get a position."
He has a heart that wants to become stronger, but now his strength is too weak, and he can't even touch the threshold of a third-rate general.
Xia Hou'an's dream is to become a fierce man who rushes into the thief's den like Xu Chu, with tigers and wolves all looking around, and no one approaching me.
"I know where you're going."
After listening to Xiahou'an's thoughts, Ding Gong wrote a letter and handed it to a gongcao in the palace, asking him to lead Xiahou'an there.
Xiahou An followed Gong Cao away.
This walk is more than half an hour.
Crossing the wide road, Gong Cao led Xiahou An to the new palace.
The guards guarding here are different from the palace forbidden troops I have seen before.
In contrast, their armor is more delicate and tight, with a very high armor coverage rate, and they stand erect on both sides of the road with long long gos in their hands, and they wear helmets with a long white feather stuck in them.
Feather Forest Army!
These three words suddenly popped out of Xia Hou'an's mind.
Yulin Army, also known as "Jianzhang Camp Cavalry", was founded in the period of Emperor Wu, named after the guard Jianzhang Palace, and later renamed "Yulin", which means: for the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest.
The number of the Yulin army is about 1,800 people, and their main duties are to guard the attendants and charge the chariots.
Among them, the highest commander is General Yulin Zhonglang, with 128 Yulin Lang under his command, one on the left and one on the right, 800 on the left and 900 on the right.
The selection conditions for the Yulin Army are extremely harsh.
First, the good people of the land of six counties and three auxiliaries.
What are the six counties and three auxiliaries?
It refers to the six places of Hanyang, Longxi, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun and Xihe, and the three auxiliaries of Jingzhao, Zuo and Right Fufeng. A good citizen is not just an ordinary person, but a son of a local family with a famous background.
The second is those who have made meritorious contributions to the battle, and a small handful will be selected from them.
The third is the descendant of the general who died in the army, also called Yulin orphans.
As early as the period of Emperor Huan, Dong Zhuo served as Yulinlang, and now that he is in power, he naturally does not forget his old club, and the status of Yulinjun is also rising.
Now serving as the general of Yulin Zhonglang is Li Meng, a confidant general under Dong Zhuo.
Xiahou stayed outside the hall.
Gong Cao went in to meet him, bowed down and said to Li Meng: "General Zhonglang, this is the character recommended to you by Shang Shuling."
Li Meng, who was reclining in the hall, was drunk, and beside him were two young palace maids with delicate bodies who were held in his arms.
Not only was Dong Zhuo invaded by power and wealth, but many of the people who followed him out of Xiliang were also addicted to it.
The cold land of the west is bitterly cold.
Dong Zhuo also had a tolerant attitude towards this, and waved his hand: Brothers have been fighting with me for more than ten years, can't they enjoy it?
As long as you don't get on the head of this master, you can toss it as you want.
With the acquiescence of Dong Taishi, the generals of Xiliang became more unscrupulous, and during the period, there were several conflicts due to the uneven distribution of spoils, and the relationship between the generals gradually cracked.
"What's the matter?"
Li Meng asked lazily.
Gong Cao replied in a low voice: "It seems to be related to the Taishi."
Touched, that is the relational household.
Li Meng knew in his heart that if he was really Taishi's henchman, it would be impossible to send it to Yulin Army, it was estimated that he only had a little relationship and wanted to come to the gangsters, so he was assigned to him.
After figuring out the reason, Li Meng didn't get up, only raised his head slightly, so that his eyes could pass through, and shouted loudly outside: "Zhang Ziyu, there is a new kid, you go and take him, it's okay, don't bother me!"
The young man in the feather forest, who was guarding outside the hall, nodded in agreement.
Gong Cao's task was successfully completed, and after taking his leave, he walked in the direction of Shangshutai.
Looking at Gong Cao who was walking away, Xia Hou'an retracted his gaze, he seemed to be used to this kind of process, standing in place, waiting for the next baton to be relayed.
After a while, a heroic young man from Yulin came to him.
"Come with me."
Zhang Ziyu's tone was cold.
Is it so?
Xiahou complained in his heart, but he followed very honestly.
"If nothing else, you will be the candidate for Yu Lin Lang......
Zhang Ziyu said as he walked, Yu Lin Lang and Yu Lin Cavalry both belonged to the Yu Lin Army, but the specific division of labor was different, Yu Lin Lang was mainly responsible for the guards outside the palace when the Son of Heaven slept at night, and Hu Benlang was responsible for it during the day.
To put it bluntly, it's the security guard who stands guard at night!
Xia Houan muttered quietly.
Zhang Ziyu didn't seem to hear it, and then said: "Yulin Cavalry acts as an accompanying escort when His Majesty travels, and his status is lower than that of Yulin Lang, and higher than other palace forbidden troops and guard......s."
"If you don't have other tasks on weekdays, it's better than freedom."
Hearing this, Xia Hou'an's eyes lit up, and he wanted to shout on the spot.
I want to be a Feather Forest Ride!
I want to paddle, I want to touch the fish!
Xiahou An tentatively asked if he could be transferred to Yulin Riding, but Zhang Ziyu glared back, as if he was blaming him for not knowing what to do.
Subsequently, Zhang Ziyu briefly introduced the architecture and layout of the imperial palace in Chang'an City, as well as the work and rest time of the Yulin Army.
When you are on duty, you must stay at the palace, and when you are not on duty, you can go home.
In principle, it is one day off on five days.
If there are special circumstances, the leave will be canceled.
In short, the actual situation prevails.
It is three hundred stones.
The gap is not small compared to the big man of 2,000 stones, but it is much higher than that of ordinary officials in some official offices.
After that, Zhang Ziyu took Xiahou An to get the armor and weapons, and also burned the talismans.
The talisman is written with Xiahou'an's name, address, position and department, which is mainly used to identify his identity, which is equivalent to the identity document of later generations.
With this, it is possible to pass through the palace.
A set of processes is completed, and it is basically close to dusk.
Remembering that he still had an agreement with Qin Shao today, Xiahou An made an excuse, saying that he wanted to go back and tell the elders in the family, so that they could also be happy.
Zhang Ziyu was not reluctant, and asked him to come over on duty tomorrow night.
Out of the palace, Xiahou was refreshed.
From today onwards, we are also engaged in official careers!
