Chapter 613 To prevent a coup d'état, first guard against mutiny

Among the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty, in terms of the capital alone, the guards of the Yulin Army and the Jinwuwei are incomparable. Jin Wuwei is in charge of the security of the capital, and the patrol guards of each mile are mainly under the jurisdiction of Jin Wuwei. The Yulin Army is mainly the Beiya Forbidden Army, that is, it belongs to the standing army and not the government soldiers, and it is their right and responsibility to guard the palace and prohibit it.

So generally speaking, in order to rebel in the capital, you first need to have soldiers, and then you need to place internal responses on both sides, and the most important point is that someone must be able to open the palace gate. Otherwise, it is to gather thousands of people to fight for three days and three nights, whether it is Taiji Palace or Daming Palace, I am afraid that even the palace wall will not collapse for a star and a half.

General Chen of the Yulin Army has not yet retired, but he has gradually delegated all his power step by step, such as Li Xian's power is much greater. However, because he has too many part-time jobs, this excessive interference in the affairs of the Yulin Army can easily make others suspect that he wants to seize power and rebel, so Li Xian does not appear much in the left and right Yulin Army, and the heads of middle and lower-level officers are almost incomplete.

Of course, he knew that the power of the Yulin Army lay not so much in the generals and generals, but more in the middle and lower ranks. However, this kind of friendship needs to be fought step by step, and he is not in a hurry - only when An An is firmly in charge of himself, the general of Zuo Yulin, and will not be dismissed, can he master a certain amount of capital.

These days, due to the frequent dispatch of the Yulin Army, various rumors have gradually spread among the sergeants. This Beiya forbidden army is selected among the selections, and the treatment is the highest among the armies, and a person's military salary can basically support a family, so he attaches great importance to his own errands. Therefore, when there was news that Empress Wu was going to recruit a group of fellow villagers from his hometown and state to enrich the Yulin Army. There are not a few people who have a sense of crisis.

And among some people in the five prefectures, there are also all kinds of bad news that are spreading little by little.

Wu Dezhen was heavy on seniority, as long as he mixed his qualifications in the five mansions for a period of time, he could quickly find a good way out in the army after he went out, and officials such as the governor basically took this path. But now, the days of Qin Xun Yi Sanwei are getting more and more difficult to mix, the first two who have been promoted alone are Zhang Jian Wei Tao, who has been with Li Xian, and the others are looking forward to being dizzy, and there is no movement.

As a result, there are reports that Empress Wu is prejudiced against the heroes and the descendants of the family. Almost no one believes such a statement - everyone knows that this martial artist is from a noble place, although the martial arts family is indeed an old hero, but everyone knows that his background is not high, and the action of suppressing the family is also in the spotlight. It's just that I don't feel anything on weekdays, but now that it's on my head, this touch is greater.

"The queen of heaven is now the queen, the next day the crown prince ascended the throne as the son of heaven, and the queen of heaven is the queen mother and holds power, isn't our life even more sad?"

"The five mansions of Qinxun are all children of famous families, why is the treatment and promotion not as good as those guys who have entered the imperial examination?"

"Damn it. So many prime ministers don't see them speaking for us! ”

Although these private complaints were limited to private, they caused Cheng Wuting to be unprecedentedly vigilant - he had just been promoted to Zuo Lang General. I heard that the appointment of another lieutenant general is also being drawn up, and although the three fires of this new official cannot be burned, it is within the scope of paying attention to the guidance of public opinion in the army. These days, he and Di Renjie often get together and chatter, and at the same time, they often come to the door by virtue of their friendship with Pei Yandi, this is a rising star, how can he not cherish his future?

So, on this day, General Chen took leave, and Cheng Wuting finally couldn't hold it back, so he took the lead after the court meeting, and directly robbed Li Xian, who was originally going to go to the political hall for a perfunctory look. Outcome. Shangguan Yi and Hao Chujun, who were moving a beat slower, jumped to their feet there angrily. Seeing the scene of the old Shangguan who paid the most attention to demeanor, Pei Xingjian was dumbfounded.

"Ahem, Cheng Wuting, this guy is very fast, and he is ruthless!" Liu Yizhi coughed lightly beside him, and then squeezed his eyes at Pei Yan again. Zilong, you didn't teach him this trick, did you? ”

Pei Yan was completely clear: "How can I have that ability!" ”

In fact, Li Xian was deliberately robbed by Cheng Wuting. He really didn't have the heart to deal with the mountain of pending problems in the political hall. Although the Tang Dynasty is a centralized monarchy, it is often not the Son of Heaven who is really busy with state affairs but the prime minister, and now the number of prime ministers has increased to six, but they are still too busy.

When he got off the horse on the ground, he inevitably gave Cheng Wuting a thumbs up: "Old Cheng, run away if you rob someone with this hand, you are very skilled, who is learning from this!" ”

"In a hurry, please don't blame King Yong!" Cheng Wuting arched his hand, and he couldn't see the slightest joke on his face, "Old General Chen took leave today, and it seems that he is ready to retire and return to his hometown to retire, I won't see him at all when I go, and I have no other way but to find King Yong." It is really a sign of instability in the Yulin army, and I am afraid that I will not be able to play it

, that's why I can only ask His Highness to come over. ”

Li Xian had just gone through his mother's door two days ago to approve the release of Sujie, and now he had just begun to analyze the news provided by Sujie, and when he heard that Yulinjun was unstable, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. After swallowing hard, he felt his throat run astringent.

"General Cheng, this matter is not trivial, no joke!"

"If it wasn't really something, how could I have made such a decision?" Cheng Wuting replied neatly, and even ordered someone to put Li Xian back on - although this military general would not wear armor in Chang'an City for no reason, but there was still a difference between the costume and the civil official. At this moment, Huo Huaien, who was the only one who had just followed, glared angrily at Cheng Wuting.

If he had known that it was unstable, he would have brought a few more people over!

When Li Xian, dressed in a general's robe, entered the garrison of the Zuo Yulin Army from the Zuoyintai Gate, the Yulin Army suddenly made a commotion.

Since Empress Wu came to power in the sixth year of Yonghui, although the court has changed its old appearance, it has not moved much in the army, and the generals and generals have changed a few, but almost none of the middle and lower-level officers below have moved. Especially in this Yulin Army, which is the forbidden army of Beiya, the sergeant is promoted to the team, the team is being promoted to the brigade commander, and the brigade commander is promoted to captain, many of whom are veterans and veterans who have been in it for more than ten or twenty years. Although he knew that his immediate boss had replaced the famous Li Xian, many people had never seen it.

However, they met today! After all, Li Xian is not the kind of prince who has never gone out for a vegetarian meal, he has experienced battle formations twice, coupled with his bold temper, which is a characteristic of blending with the masses, which immediately won the favor of most of the low-level soldiers when he inspected. However, many of the officers accompanying him remained silent, which made Cheng Wuting and Huo Huaien feel heavy pressure.

Only Li Xian laughed heartlessly, although he had already sensed the heavy atmosphere, but he had no choice but to scold Cheng Wuting for not giving him a little time to prepare. If the Yulin Army of the Tang Praetorian Guard suddenly makes a fuss, then, even if it is finally suppressed, the result will be absolutely devastating, and I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground.

However, as if to confirm the saying that whatever you are afraid of will come, when he kindly preached to a young saber sergeant that a manly husband should win the merit immediately, a cold voice suddenly came up from behind him.

"King Yong keeps saying that he will immediately take meritorious service, does it mean that my meritorious children will have no interest in obtaining official positions by virtue of grace?"

With this voice, a burly man strode forward, but it was a certain captain. I saw that he was born with big shoulders and a round waist, and his face was full of meat, if he wasn't in the army, he would definitely be a vicious bandit outside. Seeing that he was about to rush in front of Li Xian, Cheng Wuting and Huo Huaien took a step from left to right to the middle, just blocking people outside.

The big man didn't give up, but said in a rough voice: "Does King Yong know how many years have the officers at all levels in this Yulin Army worked?" Is it fair that this army has made meritorious deeds in foreign battles, and we are loyal to our guards, but we have often had no success? Take promotion as an example, since I became a lieutenant ten years ago, I haven't advanced an inch since then, if I rely on the martial arts of the last general, can't I get credit outside? ”

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly exploded, and immediately after, someone shouted out the news that Empress Wu was going to transfer his hometown from Bingzhou to enrich the Yulin Army, and for a while, the noise of one after another made Li Xian's ears buzz, and some people were like facing a great enemy, Cheng Wuting even used the greatest concentration to resist the urge to draw a knife.

Li Xian is very calm, at least, in the eyes of others, his performance at this moment is definitely not shocked, and he is definitely a general. However, God knows that he is in a daze at this time - who is this rumor! Where did the news of this Yulin Army's blood exchange come from, why hasn't he, the general, heard of it?

Xing Xing responded to a sentence called a slap that didn't make a sound, Li Xian didn't make a sound, Cheng Wu was not good at moving, and the accompanying thousand cavalry sergeants were not good at making any fierce counterattacks, so there was only a one-sided loud noise. However, at first, the ordinary Yulin Army soldiers next to him still followed the help for a sentence or two, and when they found that the signs were wrong, they all stopped, and gradually only a few middle- and lower-level officers were left singing a one-man show. In the end, the voices of these people gradually lowered down, and finally they simply shut up.

This person is like this, the more others don't let you speak, the more they want to say, but if others don't say a word and let you behave, some people will be stunned, and that's the case now.

When the audience gradually fell silent to the point that a needle could be heard falling on the ground, Li Xian finally recovered from his daze and coughed appropriately. However, before he could say anything earth-shattering, several inopportune shouts suddenly sounded out of nowhere.
