Chapter 51: Taking office
……
The first year of Xuande, August 1.
Today is Chen Xu's first day in office.
The sky was bright, and Chen Xu woke up and went out.
Suo Hu and He Meng had already arrived at the door to wait, plus Chen Xu, there were only three people in total.
The lineup looks shabby.
There are only a few people in the team, and there is no need to count the number of people, Chen Xu put on the iron armor, turned over and got on the horse, and prepared to report to the barracks.
Although it was early in the morning, restaurants and other stores had already opened, and many people were already on the streets to start their day.
The Suzaku Gate at the south gate of the inner city, and the Xuande Gate at the south gate of the palace city (i.e., the imperial city) constitute a central axis in the city, called the Royal Street.
Chen Xu and the three of them are now walking on this central axis avenue.
On Yujie Avenue, officials dressed in official robes and black gauze hats who were about to go to the morning court had already gone out, some walking, some sitting in a sedan chair.
After crossing the Bianhe Bridge, the royal street to the north is actually a north-south square in front of the palace, similar to the modern Tiananmen Square.
The wide square expands everyone's field of vision, making the imperial city tall and majestic in front of you.
On both sides of the Royal Street, there are many central government offices of the Great Wei Dynasty.
After arriving at the square in front of the Xuande Gate, the group headed east at the fork in the road, and then walked along the main road around the imperial city towards the north gate.
The official office in front of the palace and the barracks under its jurisdiction are all near the north gate.
En route.
"Second brother, third brother, we are new to the city now, our eyes are black, you two will be my personal soldiers for the time being, and I will bring you up again when I find a suitable opportunity in the future." Chen Xu said.
"We will go wherever the big brother goes." Suo Hu said with a grin.
"Our brothers are all under the orders of the eldest brother." He Meng said.
The two were quite convinced by Chen Xu and had no opinion.
Chen Xu is not familiar with the place, there are not a few people who were knighted in Gao Ping's first war, but there are also a lot of people who can join the enemy and cowardice, the emperor is furious, not long ago Gao Ping, more than 70 generals of the forbidden army were counted and their heads were cut off.
In addition, the front division of the palace is recently rectifying and eliminating redundancy, so a number of vacant seats will soon be vacated.
Don't worry, there is no seat for two people.
How could he, as the commander of the inner sanctum, not have the power to appoint a few people? It's just a trifle.
But after all, he is straight when he first arrives in the inner temple, and his appearance can't be too ugly. In addition, the inner temple is a relatively strong army in the forbidden army, and the people selected are all excellent martial artists, proud soldiers, and they will be given high positions as soon as they come, and the people below can obey?
It's not a good thing for everyone to go against the yang and yin at the bottom.
Yes, he is the supreme commander of the army of the Inner Temple, but does he want to convince people with power, or "convince people with reason" with his fists?
It's better to let them get acquainted with military affairs, sharpen and temper, and in the future, they will definitely become his right-hand men, can't they overcome this little thing.
Besides, with their own presence, they can't afford to lose.
Chen Xu first asked the accompanying two people to meet in the school field outside the inner temple direct barracks, where they went to meet with the other inner temple straight people.
And he went to the Yamen in front of the palace, he was the commander of the inner temple Zhidu, but he was not the only commander of this army, and below him there was the inner temple Zhidu Yu Hou Wang Yansheng and others who were second only to him.
It's not that he hasn't done anything in the past few days, but he has made some preparations.
The two met in the official office in front of the palace, he was promoted too quickly, and he was not familiar with many military affairs. Fortunately, the inner temple is not only a commander of himself, and he did not let himself be the commander of the light pole.
When they first arrived in Tokyo to restore their lives, the two met in the temple front division.
Wang Yansheng is a 30-year-old man, with a big beard, dark and shiny, looking like a steel needle.
When they first met, Wang Yansheng first gave a military salute, and then said: "Chen Duzhi."
Chen Xu responded with a smile: "Wang Yuhou."
"This is the first time I have arrived, but I want Wang Yuhou to give me a lot of advice." Chen Xu said. He doesn't have any idol baggage, so if he doesn't know, just ask.
"Haha. You're so polite. They are all their own brothers. Wang Yansheng laughed, looking very bold.
Seeing that he had a more kind attitude, he was a little worried that this man would despise him for his young age, or that he would be jealous of a young man who had ridden on his head and made him his commander, but now it seemed that that worry was unnecessary.
The people who can sit in this position are human spirits. There will be no such stupid bloody plot against superiors.
Chen Xu hadn't touched him a few times, and he didn't know what he was like. But I hope everyone is as harmonious as it seems, hello, hello, everyone.
The inner hall is directly the emperor's pro-army in the palace room, not a regular field army, so the number is not as good as the army-level troops in the usual sense, but as the emperor's pro-army, it must be relied on by the emperor than most armies.
This is a good errand, under the emperor's nose, if he has made meritorious service, he is still worried that there is no chance of promotion?
It is divided into two classes, the first and the second.
First, the generals who were present were counted and asked the civil servants to record their names.
Then the chief began to have a long speech......
That's what everyday life is.
Then the main general, the deputy general and the generals checked the military orders they obtained, and after confirming that they were correct, the generals of the four classes left first and went to the school to count the people under them.
Of course, Chen Xu, Wang Yansheng and the others should not go so early, and after staying for a while, they went to the school field unhurriedly.
The most important thing today is to be familiar with military affairs, so Chen Xu learned that they rode a horse and walked around the school yard to see the heads of people below and the approximate number of people reported, and it was done.
Then Chen Xu read out the military orders sent from above at the Dianjiangtai (a high platform), and assigned each squad to be stationed to change guards and conduct drills.
In the end, the gang dispersed and went to garrison and patrol according to military orders......
