Just when Ling Xia was selecting talents from the four major legions, there was also a thing that shook the government and the opposition in the Jinxiao Palace, at the beginning of the early dynasty, the ministers found that the emperor who had not been in the court for a long time actually came to the court in person today, seeing the expressionless appearance of the emperor, everyone felt that something was about to happen.

Sure enough, after the civil and military officials knelt down and bowed nine times, and did not wait for the courtiers to report on government affairs, the emperor ordered the dismissal of more than a dozen ministers, some of whom were responsible for the defense of the forbidden city, some were responsible for the security of the forbidden city, and some were responsible for procuring goods for the palace.

These people have civil servants and military generals, there are princes' disciples, there are subordinates of the second prince, and even the emperor's cronies, no one thought that the emperor would take these people to the knife, a series of dismissal and dismissal orders, people were dumbfounded, seeing that the emperor was pursuing the rebellion of the guards yesterday, the courtiers didn't even dare to say a mouthful.

punished and investigated a group of ministers, and then the main event came, the emperor actually took the initiative to talk about Peng Tiangang's support for the army and self-reliance, and was a little dissatisfied with the fact that the prince had assigned Gu Xiuyuan to lead the army to fight against Peng Tiangang. reprimanded the prince in public, saying that he was short-sighted.

The emperor scolded Peng Tiangang from the dragon chair, saying that he was a traitor to the Xia Dynasty, and all the people of the Xia Dynasty should think that the rebels were enemies, and no one was allowed to make friends with the traitors privately, and the violators were regarded as treason.

Seeing that the emperor coughed even when he spoke, and he needed someone to help him walk, how dare he let him drive the expedition in person, the civil and military officials desperately blocked it, and said that he would not agree to anything, and with the formation of the hundred officials obstructing, the emperor pushed the boat along the river, saying that he could not drive the expedition in person, but in order to show the determination of the Son of Heaven to quell the rebellion, he ordered the prince to go on the expedition on his behalf.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor ordered the assembly of the war guards in the nine major territories around the imperial capital, and there were more than nine million war guards in the nine major territories, considering that there were 10 million rebels under Peng Tiangang, the emperor ordered Zhang Huaji to serve as the counterinsurgency supervisor and bring the million janissaries in the imperial capital to the battlefield together.

Hearing this, the fourth prince Xia Yuanyou hurriedly stood up, saying that it was very inappropriate to take away the battle guards of the nine major territories around the imperial capital, and without the protection of the nine major territories, the imperial capital would become an empty shell, and it would be even more inappropriate to send the Praetorian Guards to quell the rebellion.

The reason of the four princes is very simple, now that the guards in the palace have been cleaned up, if the Jiujiang War Guards guarding the periphery and the Praetorian Guards who maintain the security of the imperial capital are transferred away at this time, then the palace will become the commander of the light pole.

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at the four princes coldly, and said slowly: "Yesterday, the battle guards of the nine territories were there, and the Praetorian Guards of the imperial capital were also there, but there was still an accident in the palace, fourth, what do you say is going on?" ”

"This------ this-------- this ---------" The four princes were originally full of words, but they were speechless by the emperor's words, and they were stunned in place for a long time, not knowing how to answer the emperor's words.

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was so resolute, the courtiers thought that the emperor was angry about the rebellion of the guards yesterday, and was ready to change the defense force of the imperial capital, worried that the innocent would be implicated, so no one dared to speak out.

The four princes stood up and tried, but they couldn't stop the emperor's determination, and the courtiers didn't dare to refute when they saw that the emperor had counted yesterday's accounts today, so they collected tens of millions of soldiers and horses, and the matter of quelling the rebellion led by the prince passed smoothly.

After watching the crown prince take over the "Troop Transfer Tiger Talisman" from the emperor, was appointed as the generalissimo of the counterinsurgency, and went to the border with Gu Xiuyuan to crusade against Peng Tiangang, the faces of the second prince and the fourth prince were a little gloomy, the two glanced at each other, and nodded to each other imperceptibly.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the emperor returned to the Heavenly Palace, and soon after sitting down, the eighth prince Xia Yuanxiao ran to the palace to find the emperor, as soon as they met, Xia Yuanxiao reported with a displeased face: "Father, he is too much to do with a horse."

Yesterday, you made him the commander of the division and asked him to pick people from the four major legions, but do you know what he did? The horses picked out all the 3,700 internal force masters in the four major legions, and there was not a single one left.

All the famous generals in the four legions who can fight well have basically all received the command of the horses, leaving only one Nangong Qiang, who likes to kill innocents indiscriminately and is not popular with the military, and what is even more infuriating is that when he recruited those famous generals, he also took away the subordinates and colleagues of those people.

I just counted it, and my father promised him the commander of the division, but the horse has now collected more than 40,000 people from the four major legions, plus his original team of 10,000 people and more than 6,000 guards, and the horse has fully organized more than 60,000 people under his command.

This is already the establishment of two divisions, but the horse still refuses to stop, at the moment he is detaining the war horses and soldiers who are proficient in riding within the four major legions, it is reported that the four major legions have a total of more than 10,000 war horses, and the horses have taken away more than 8,000.

It seems that he wants to form a cavalry team of 10,000 people, if this is the case, it is estimated that the horse will have to intercept more than 10,000 cavalry, and his division will have more than 70,000 people.

The four Praetorian Guard legions of the Forbidden City are the four most elite troops among all the Praetorian Guards, and it is a place where heroes gather, since these people were divided to the prince by their father, they are the main force of the prince's rebellion, how can they be snatched away by the horses? ”

"Finished?" Looking at the Eighth Prince carefully, looking at Xia Yuanxiao's anxious expression, the emperor caught the traces and asked: "You are in charge of the military department, and you command the war guards, and the Praetorian Guards selected by Ling Xia have nothing to do with you, why can't most of the Janissaries come to me, but you are here?" ”

Xia Yuanxiao said in a deep voice: "Whether it is the Praetorian Guards or the Battle Guards, these are all soldiers of the imperial court, and the soldiers in the four major legions are going to the border to fight the rebels after they are formed, so they are no different in the eyes of their sons."

The colt is so blatantly recruiting elites, and after he draws away the generals and soldiers, it is estimated that the four major legions are only empty shells. Erchen remembered the merits of the concubine, but this was a different thing from the merits, and Erchen felt that his father should take care of him. ”

After hearing this, the emperor looked at his son unexpectedly, and after a moment of silence, he patted Xia Yuanxiao on the shoulder meaningfully, said "Got it" with a smile, and then left with Xia Yuanxiao's confused expression.

In the evening, the reorganization and reorganization of the four major legions of the Praetorian Guard Army was completed, and then, the legion joined the other Praetorian Guards and rushed to the border with the Jiujiang War Guards drawn by the prince, and in the original camp of the Eastern Japanese Division, Ling Xia was dividing the troops and generals at the moment.
