The 12 guards of the forbidden army are the government soldiers who protect the safety of the imperial capital and the surrounding areas.

Among them, Jin Wuwei has the largest number, Yulin Army has the strictest selection, and Shenhuwei is the most brave.

Among the three guards, the Divine Tiger Guard is the most important weapon, easy to ascend to the sky in one step, and easy to fall into the abyss.

These three guards can be said to have witnessed the whole process of the imperial capital from a hundred ruins to prosperity.

Although Emperor Taizu took the throne without much effort, he spent a lot of effort defending the country.

The rebels and princes in various places continued to crusade, and there were also disobedient generals of the former dynasty who colluded with the rebels in Dijing, wanting to overthrow the rule of Emperor Taizu with internal and external cooperation.

Emperor Taizu had a headache and had insomnia every night, for fear that his head would be cut off as soon as he closed his eyes.

However, Emperor Taizu is a big old man, compared to dealing with complicated political affairs, criticizing and criticizing to the point of doubting life, he prefers to drive the royal expedition in person, and enjoy the happy life of the knife on the battlefield.

Therefore, Emperor Taizu appointed the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince, ordered him to supervise the country, and took his group of good brothers out of Beijing to fight.

This is sad for the strategists who helped him lay down the country: Emperor Taizu is basically lucky, the foundation is unstable and internal and external troubles, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. What's more, won't they fly before the glory and wealth they have in their hands are hot?

Never.

Fortunately, there is still the crown prince in charge of the country, no matter whether Emperor Taizu will have any accidents, just hug the prince's thigh.

Therefore, in line with the principle of grasping with both hands, the strategists quickly recruited troops in the imperial capital and formed an army of 50,000 horses, which was independent of any government soldiers, and only obeyed the dispatch of Emperor Taizu, and was only responsible for the security of the imperial capital.

Emperor Taizu was so angry that he wanted to curse at that time, he was fighting outside, how could he transfer the soldiers in the imperial capital? With a wave of his hand, he handed the tiger talisman to the crown prince, who later became Emperor Chengzu.

Emperor Chengzu took the tiger talisman and wanted to scold people, his father brought all the technical talents with management experience to the front line to fight, how could he manage an army of 50,000 alone? From the 50,000 troops, 3,000 people were selected to be responsible for the security of the palace, and the rest were all incorporated into the Jinwuwei, who usually took turns patrolling the imperial capital, responsible for the security of the imperial capital, and by the way, did chores such as mediating neighborhood conflicts and rescuing the kittens on the tree.

In the second year of Taizu, there was a mutiny in the defenders of Beijing, led by a former general, who colluded with the rebels outside the city, taking advantage of Emperor Taizu's absence in Beijing, and wanted to take the imperial capital together.

The so-called raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, the generals of the former dynasty who mutinied never expected that the seemingly vulnerable imperial capital would gather 50,000 troops in half a day, and the defense of the imperial capital became impregnable from full of loopholes.

In addition, Jin Wuwei was enthusiastic about helping the people when patrolling, and formed a relationship with the people of the imperial capital, and many people spontaneously joined the defense of the imperial capital.

Emperor Chengzu, who was standing on the city wall, looked down at the stunned expressions of the generals and rebel leaders of the previous dynasty, and fired two arrows together, blinding one of them in the eye, and this farce was over before it began.

When Emperor Taizu got the news and hurriedly came back to rescue, what he saw were two bloody heads on the city gate.

Emperor Taizu was happy and afraid, and immediately decided to set up Jinwu and Yulin two guards, Jinwuwei was responsible for the security of the entire imperial capital, and Yulin Army was responsible for the security of the palace.

Shenhuwei can be described as one in a thousand, the elite of the elite.

The soldiers in the army all take becoming the god tiger guard as the ultimate goal, and the personal defense of the emperor is secondary, and being able to see the demeanor of those founding fathers can also receive their personal teaching, which is also a great dream of meeting idols face to face for the soldiers of Rong Ma's life.

In the era of martial arts, if someone in anyone's family is selected into the Divine Tiger Guard, it is even more ecstatic than winning the champion.

Of course, this was a long time ago.

After the hard work of the emperors of the past dynasties, the war of Jing Lang changed from eliminating civil strife at the beginning to defending against foreign enemies, and later expanded a lot of territory for a while, but because the saint at that time thought that the territory was too large to manage, it was stopped, and began to vigorously develop agriculture and trade.

The national strength of Jingqi is becoming more and more prosperous, Longhuang as the imperial capital of Jingqian, almost all the people of Jinglang and people from all over the world dream of the holy land, more and more people settled in the imperial capital, more and more Jinwuwei, but the number of Yulin army has always remained at about 3,000 people.

The Divine Tiger Guard, which was originally glorious, gradually stepped down from the altar from the successive deaths of the founding fathers and the demise of their clans, and today, the Divine Tiger Guard selected from the Jinwuwei and Yulin Army has become less and less, and has almost become a gold-plated place for the children of various families in the capital.

It is said that when the emperor was there, there was a commander of the Yulin army who wrote to the emperor to request the revocation of the Shenhuwei, and the emperor respected the ancestral system and established an unwritten rule that no more than ten children of the family should enter the Shenhuwei every year, which is a little fairer.

Even so, every year at the time of selection, the examiner will tacitly release water to some children of the family, and the saint will also turn a blind eye and only reuse those who are admitted by ability.

My You family is the only one of the founding clans that stands tall, and the third brother is the only one among the three sons of the Marquis of Dingyuan who wants to be a military general, and his arrogant personality will never allow him to go through the back door, not to mention that the chief examiner this time is the military department Shangshu, and the deputy examiner is His Royal Highness the Prince, this back door is really difficult to walk.

There are not many of these gentlemen in Beijing who can win the third brother, so this time the third brother of Shenhuwei is determined to win.

Qin Xiang and Concubine Xian probably thought the same way, with the trust of the saint in the You family, once the third brother arrived in front of the palace, he would be like his father and would be favored by the saint, which was not a good thing for the prince's party.

Therefore, the crown prince issued a decree first, and they kidnapped the third brother later, and the third brother missed the selection, which would inevitably anger the saint, and the capital crime would not come, but Qianmian could not escape.

Want to tattoo the word "deserter" on my third brother's jade face? Then ask me if I agree!

I sat on the back of the wind and shook the third brother's peach blossom fan secretly ruthlessly, but when I saw Song Yue wiping his sweat non-stop, I took the peach blossom fan and nodded his head and said, "Song Yue, why are you so hot?" Then, the master's fan is for you? ”

Song Yue raised his eyes, looking like he was about to cry: "Little ...... Young master, don't make fun of the little one, the little one, the little one......"

I know what he's nervous about, the third brother didn't return overnight, and there was no news from the eldest brother and the second brother, and I was also anxious, but the most important thing was to fool the selection of this god tiger guard, so I went to the third brother's room to get a set of riding and shooting clothes, pretended to be him, and fought on his behalf.

Maybe God helped me, but today the purple lines on my body actually retreated to my neck, and the collar of the riding and archery uniform was quite high, so I looked no different from the third brother.

I have been inseparable from my third brother since childhood, and it is easy for me to learn from him, but his voice seems to have become a little low, otherwise it would be more like.

Song Yue almost didn't recognize it, he stared at his eyes that were red, hugged me and cried bitterly: "Young master, are you back, huh?" Young master, how did you get shorter? ”

I:......

I opened the fan in my hand with a bang, and I heard a scream on the side of the road, the corners of my mouth hooked, and there was a burst of exclamation in a low voice, I raised my chin at Song Yue, and lowered my voice but couldn't suppress the smugness in my heart: "Isn't your young master usually like this when he goes out?" No one will recognize it. ”

Song Yue's face was still sweating like rain, and he whispered: "Young master, Guoziyuan is here, don't open your mouth today, as soon as you open your mouth, you will be exposed!" ”

I said clearly: "Long-winded, still use your godmaster to do things?" ”

He wiped his sweat again and said, "That's it...... It's that although the young master usually doesn't like to come into contact with people, others are very happy to come into contact with the young master......"

I was dismounting, and I was a little confused: "What did you say?" ”

Song Yue was about to open his mouth, and I was slapped firmly on the back, and then someone wrapped his arms around my neck, and the man's hearty laughter blew up my eardrums: "You Sanlang, my father's debt is repaid, and today Lao Tzu is going to avenge your father's shot!" ”

I was strangled by him, and hit his arm again and again, and he hurriedly let go as if dissatisfied: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so thin!" Where is the ruthlessness of Lao Tzu at the beginning? ”

I silently looked at the man in front of me, he was strong and burly, his skin was slightly dark, and his dark green eyes were shining...... I couldn't help but be a little confused, what happened lately, how did the strangers I met seem to have met somewhere?

Song Yue hurriedly helped me out and said, "Third Prince, my young master has suffered from some wind chills recently, his throat is inflamed, and he can't speak. ”

The Third Prince? Is it a foreigner? Jing Yan's language is quite slippery.

The man said, "Even so, Lao Tzu won't release water!" ”

He looked behind me again and said, "You were selected today, why didn't Ashalu come to watch the battle?" ”

Ashalu!?

My heart shook!

There is only one person in the world who would call me that!

He turned out to be the little prince who was sent by Yan Yan to be a proton!?
