As soon as Emperor Xunyang died, he, who was a son, rushed to the throne, as the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, this is the truth. It will take time for his father to take back the right to let him go, not to mention that he is a new emperor who has no real power.

Time is lost, and people's hearts change.

How many people were loyal to Emperor Xunyang at the beginning, but now how many are loyal to him? Most of them are fighting on their own, who still cares about him, and who can still remember the heartfelt heart of Emperor Xunyang during his lifetime?

Hongwu sighed: "This surnamed Cao said that he wanted to train ten days later, and he came here to tell me, but in fact, where is it to tell me?" It's clearly reminding me, pointing at me, and letting me not forget. ”

"Your Majesty, what's going on with this military training?" Yang Chen couldn't help but ask.

Emperor Hongwu said helplessly: "Training, to put it bluntly, is just a whole few links, and all armies conduct an all-round assessment competition. ”

"Your Majesty, isn't this Marshal Cao in charge of all the soldiers and horses in the world? In this world, all the soldiers and horses are under his control, what is the point of him training? For whom? Yang Chen asked.

Emperor Hongwu laughed: "You, aren't you usually very smart?" You don't want to think about it, if Marshal Cao can really manage all the soldiers in the world, then can I, the emperor, still have my life? ”

He said so bluntly to Yang Chen, firstly, he really wanted Yang Chen as a friend.

Second, he knows Yang Chen's life experience very well, what is the relationship between the other party and Ma Changhe? The revenge of killing the son is not shared. Yang Chen is now a grasshopper on a rope with him. No matter how powerful the surname Cao is, it is impossible for Yang Chen to become a person on the same road as the other party.

Yang Chen listened to Emperor Hongwu's words. At this time, it also dawned on me: "Your Majesty, in this way, there is a part of the army. Is it in your hands? ”

"In the entire Wei Dynasty, sixty percent of the troops are in the hands of this surnamed Cao, and I am in the hands of thirty percent. The main manifestation is in the Longmen Army, which is directly under the control of me. Emperor Hongwu waved his sleeves and spoke loudly.

Yang Chen is still very familiar with the Longmen Army. Father-in-law Han once told him.

This Longmen Army is the army of the palace and is responsible for protecting the emperor. Patrol the palace, guard the palace and other tasks. It can almost be understood that as long as there are soldiers in the palace, they are all Longmen soldiers. Sent by Emperor Hongwu. Except for the dispatch of Emperor Hongwu. is not controlled by anyone, and Marshal Cao can only stare at this Longmen army.

But Yang Chen was curious: "Then the remaining one percent is ...... again."

Marshal Cao is in charge of sixty percent, Emperor Hongwu is in charge of thirty percent, and who is in charge of the remaining one percent?

Emperor Hongwu said bitterly: "The rest of the Yicheng is Jinyiwei." ”

"Jinyiwei, not under the emperor's control?" Yang Chen couldn't help but understand.

According to folk sayings, Jinyiwei is the same as the Longmen Army. All belong to the emperor. At the same time, it is also the time when the emperor passed the position. The two foundational cards for the next generation of emperors to solidify their position.

This Jinyi Guard and the Longmen Army are in the hands of the emperor, and a country's troops have come up to take forty percent, how many people dare to disobey the emperor's will?

Emperor Hongwu frowned, and then said solemnly: "Jinyi Guard, under the control of the Protector Mage." ”

"Protector Mage......" Yang Chen muttered.

It was a word he was unlikely to forget.

Because when he mentions it, he will remember what Cao Zheng said at the beginning.

When his master fled the capital, he killed the enemy all the way, and no one could stop him, and in the end, he was slapped by this protector mage and was seriously injured. Moreover, his master has a high opinion of this protector, at least in terms of his strength, he will be sad to meet the protector mage.

Emperor Hongwu now confided out the boredom in his heart, and seemed to feel much more comfortable, and said: "The person surnamed Cao told me about the training, just to let me lead my own Longmen army to train, and when the time comes, when his surname Cao is training, he will use the army under his command to humiliate my Longmen army." At that time, who didn't think that his army surnamed Cao was orthodox? Is my Longmen army a crooked and heretical way? Orthodox...... Orthodoxy, if this orthodox position is sat by his surname Cao, it will be a big trouble. ”

Yang Chen's face was full of crying and laughing.

He knew that he had fallen into troubled waters, but since he had made his choice, he had no reason to regret it.

Now he said: "Your Majesty, what is this training for? ”

"Horsemanship, archery, each selected elite soldiers to fight in formation, and finally scored generals to fight on behalf of their respective armies. Whoever wins, the one who wins is the military heart! Emperor Hongwu said.

The words in his ears were still lingering, and Yang Chen muttered: "Riding and archery, there are still group fights and heads-ups...... Your Majesty, in your Longmen Army, there should be elite soldiers who can be competent. ”

Hongwu rubbed his eyebrows: "It's really not a problem to serve, it's just how to win, there are indeed a lot of capable soldiers under my hands, but there are more capable people under the surname Cao." Shortly after I first ascended to power ten years ago, the Longmen army fought against the army under this surnamed Cao, and lost completely. There are not a few elite warriors he has cultivated, and all of them are talents. Ten years later, his veterans alone are a headache, not to mention some unknown new generals. ”

"Speaking of which, Yang Chen, you still have to go to the palace to do me a favor."

"Your Majesty, you ......" Yang Chen looked confused.

Emperor Hongwu's face remained unchanged: "Yang Chen, I know that you have doubts. You're wondering if you're leaving the palace even though you're my bodyguard, right? ”

Yang Chen smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

He did have this doubt.

However, his biggest doubt was what Emperor Hongwu said.

Emperor Hongwu told him to ask Yang Chen to do him a favor!

Emperor Hongwu's attitude towards him was too sincere, just like treating a friend, he said this to Emperor Hongwu, even if he knew that he was in this position of guard, he was deeply trapped in this troubled water, he was willing. He knows very well that whoever he follows as an official in the capital is nothing more than someone else's pawn.

Emperor Hongwu is so sincere, what else does he Yang Chen have to say?

Thinking in his heart, Yang Chen still said quietly: "Your Majesty, Yang Chen really has this doubt. ”

"Yang Chen, do you really think that I recruited you just to make you my guard?" Emperor Hongwu said with a smile.

Yang Chen's heart set off a burst of doubts.

This emperor's mental trick is really unpredictable, the other party recruits himself as a guard, is it not as simple as being a guard?

What's that for?

"Indeed, I have made you my guard, indeed one. However, it is only limited to when I leave the palace, you must follow closely, and in the palace, my safety is not a problem. Moreover, Yang Chen, you must know that I recruited you to be a guard, and I did not just let you be a guard. Otherwise, why do you think your Yang Mansion is so close to the Imperial Palace? Emperor Hongwu opened his mouth and said. I'll tell you more about it in the future. (To be continued.) )
