Chapter 20: The Bestower
Di Renjie's attitude made Li Chengqian very satisfied, and Li Chengqian, who was smiling, looked at Xue Rengui and his wife.
Xue Rengui met Li Chengqian's gaze and nodded slightly at Li Chengqian, not at all frightened because the other party was the crown prince!
Compared with Xue Rengui's Cheng Wen, Liu Shi was a little flustered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Li Chengqian's gaze, and grabbed Xue Rengui's big hand with both hands.
Xue Rengui turned around and smiled at Liu, patted her hand, and calmed her emotions.
Li Chengqian said to Xue Rengui: "The widow has heard that Xue Qing has excellent arm strength and excellent martial arts, especially good at riding and shooting!" You can wear Yang in 100 steps! ”
"In ancient times, there were people who were good at archery, who could shoot through seven layers of armor with one arrow, I don't know how many layers of armor Xue Qing could shoot?"
"Don't hide it from Your Highness! The grass people dare not say that they can shoot through the seventh layer with one arrow, and I am still sure that the fifth layer is still true. Xue Rengui said.
"Oh! So much better! Xue Qing, you will shoot and let the widow and Di Qing take a look. Li Chengqian stroked his palms and laughed, and ordered someone to get five layers of armor and bows and arrows.
After placing the armor, Xue Rengui took the bow and arrow, only to see him put on a posture, stretching his bow and aiming at the armor in the distance.
I only heard the bowstring sound, and the arrow crossed a straight line, and the arrow passed through the five armors in an instant.
Everyone was amazed! They were all shocked by Xue Rengui's archery skills.
"Good!" Li Chengqian is overjoyed! Applauded, and ordered someone to fetch the silver armor.
It is worthy of being famous, and Xue Rengui has created allusions such as "good strategy to settle the war", "three arrows to determine the Tianshan Mountain", and "God bravely collects Liaodong".
Seeing Li Chengqian's joy, Xue Rengui was also very happy in his heart, the reason why he worked so hard in front of Li Chengqian, the prince, was nothing more than that he wanted Li Chengqian to see his Xue Rengui's value, so as to be reused by the prince.
In exchange for his splendid future, so that he can return to his hometown and glorify his ancestors.
"Xue Qing has such a ability, the widow is very happy, my East Palace can have a talent like Xue Qing, it is really a blessing for the East Palace."
"Tomorrow, the widow will show His Majesty that Xue Qing is the prince and the inner and lower government rates, and from now on, you will be in charge of the East Palace." Li Chengqian directly appointed Xue Rengui as the internal leader of the two internal rate governments.
Since the change of Xuanwumen, in order to better control the East Palace, Li Er has made all subordinate officials above the fourth rank of the East Palace must be appointed by Li Er, the emperor.
The subordinate officials below the fourth rank of the East Palace are appointed by the prince himself, so whether Xue Rengui can do this internal rate or not needs to be decided by Li Er.
Li Chengqian pointed to the silver armor and said: "At the beginning, the father gave the widow gold and silver armor, and today the widow will give this silver armor to Xue Qing." ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" Xue Rengui hurriedly knelt on the ground, a thousand thanks!
Li Chengqian's words made everyone in the East Palace gasp, the prince was a military attache of the fourth grade.
The prince's duty is to take charge of the palace and the guards within the forbidden area, to serve the soldiers, and the officials are less than the left and right guards, and to lead the left and right thousand cattle to prepare, prepare the left and right, and prepare the body.
The prince's internal rate is directly related to the prince's personal safety.
Such an important position is given to a person from a reckless background? It's too child's play for the prince to be like this.
Besides, Xue Rengui is from a grassroots background, and he suddenly sat in the seat of the inner rate, and the subordinate officials of the prince's left and right internal rate mansion can agree!
Not to mention others, Helan Chushi, the son-in-law of General Hou Junji, was the first to refuse, as the son-in-law of General Hou Junji, he was the only one who was prepared for thousands of cows.
Xue Rengui also stood on the spot, he thought it would be good to be able to become the backup of the East Palace,
He didn't dare to expect to sit in such a high position all at once.
After all, he was born from the grassroots, and he achieved the fourth grade at once, I am afraid that some people will disagree with him.
"Lang Jun! I'm afraid that's not right! The subordinate officials of the Inner Command Mansion on the left and right are afraid that no one will obey Xue Rengui. Wang Quan stepped forward and whispered.
"It doesn't matter! The widow believed that Xue Qing would be able to overwhelm the crowd and train the little cubs on the left and right. Li Chengqian said with a smile.
What he wants is this effect, Xue Rengui, as a famous general in the Tang Dynasty in the future, if he can't even surrender the guards of the East Palace, how will he command the soldiers and horses in the future and make great achievements for the Tang Dynasty.
Now is the time to test his Xue Rengui's strength.
After the assassination of the prince, after the guards of the East Palace were purged, the guards who had just been added were not loyal enough to the prince.
Li Chengqian planned to hand over these guards to Xue Rengui for unified training, so that they would swear allegiance to his crown prince.
The guards of the East Palace must be made to become his own personal force of Li Chengqian.
Wang Quan saw that Li Chengqian had decided so, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Minister, you will live up to the high expectations of Your Highness!" Xue Rengui was grateful and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Xue Qing, please get up! From now on, the safety of the widow will be fully entrusted to you, and I hope that Qing will not let the widow down. Li Chengqian said.
"The minister is willing to die for the prince!" Xue Rengui said.
The crown prince is as kind to him as a mountain, and he will trust him to give him such an important position, how can he Xue Rengui not be effective!
"After I show Qing to His Majesty tomorrow, Qing will go to the school with the widow, and let the guards of the Inner Mansion know Qing's ability." Li Chengqian said.
"Everything is under the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xue Rengui said.
"Good! Let's go ahead! Li Chengqian beckoned everyone to continue eating and drinking, and the banquet did not end until the evening, and everyone was very happy.
……
Early the next morning, after Li Chengqian was dressed neatly, he went directly to Da Nei to meet Li Er and reported to Li Er about the appointment of Xue Rengui as the internal leader.
"What?" After Li Er listened to Li Chengqian's recital, his face suddenly darkened, and it was not child's play for the East Palace to lead the appointment of the left and right sides of the palace.
A mountain village man who came out of nowhere, the prince actually appointed him as the left and right internal rate of the government in such a child's play.
And he is also the leader of the two guards of the East Palace, which is equivalent to putting his net worth and life in the hands of others.
Li Er was disappointed with Li Chengqian's hasty decision!
thought that the prince had reformed and changed his mind and became a new man, but who knew that he was still so unreliable.
How much do you know each other? Dare to do such a bold thing, what if the other party is a wrongdoer?
Isn't that self-defeating! Until this person is completely convinced, he can't be allowed to stay in the East Palace under any circumstances.
Li Er made up his mind and said to Li Chengqian: "Gao Ming! You tell your brother, how much do you know about this Xue Rengui? ”
"This ......" Li Chengqian was really asked, if he wanted to say that he understood, he and Xue Rengui had only met once, and they did not have an in-depth understanding.
His knowledge of Xue Rengui only stayed in written information.
But even so, Li Chengqian believed that Xue Rengui was a person worthy of his trust.
"Father! Xue Qing is the Xue clan of Hedong, and his father Xue Rail Gong is the Zanzhi of Xiangcheng in the Sui Dynasty......"
Without waiting for Li Chengqian to finish speaking, Li Er directly interrupted him.
"In other words, you don't actually know much about this Xue Rengui, right?"
