Zhu Houxi thought for a while and said, "Wang Shouren is a smart person. A smart person knows when the best time to make a move, so there is no need to inform him. After that, he swept away the gloom on his face and said, "Someone! ”

A eunuch hurriedly walked in and stood next to the dragon case.

Zhu Houxi glanced at the case, and the eunuch understood, picked up the holy decree and unfolded it, and sang: "Guo Xun listens to the seal!" ”

When Guo Xun heard the word "Tingfeng", his groggy head was extremely sober, and he hurriedly walked to the dragon case and knelt down.

Zhu Houxi waved his hand and said, "You don't have to kneel, just stand!" ”

Guo Xun bowed and said, "Thank you!" He stood up from the ground.

The eunuch sang: "Feng, the heavens carry it, the emperor summoned and said, Feng Wuding Marquis Guo Xun as the Taibao, the left army governor of the left army, the commander of the three thousand battalions, the regimental battalion, and the border army." ”

Guo Xun had been mentally prepared that he would be reused when he returned to Beijing this time, but he was still surprised by the extent of reuse.

What is the Taibao, which in the past was the highest official position of the Three Princes. Although after the Ming Dynasty, it was already a vacant position with no power, but it was also a supreme honor. How many officials to the second rank, at most after death, they were posthumously awarded a Shaobao or the prince Taibao, and there were not many who were awarded the Shaobao or the prince Taibao alive, but he was directly named the Taibao of the first grade. How many people have to be envied to death!

What is the Left Military Governor's Mansion Left Governor. If the Taibao is a civilian official, then the Zuo Governor of the Left Military Governor's Mansion is a military attaché. If you want to be more serious, the Zuo Du Governor is even more rare than the Taibao, not for anything else, just because the Zuo Du Governor is not a vain position, but has a lot of power in his hands. Major national affairs will be decided by the Cabinet. The matter of fighting was decided by the ten or so governors of the five armies.

is also like the cabinet, among the many cabinet elders, there is a person who makes the final decision, and this person is the first assistant. Among the ten governors of the Five Military Governors' Mansion, there is also a person who has the final decision, that is, the Zuo Governor of the Left Army Governor's Mansion. It can be seen that Yang Tinghe is the top spot among civil officials, so he Guo Xun is the top spot among military generals.

Accidentally, he actually rode on the head of Xu Guangzuo, the Governor of the Chinese Army, and he wondered in his heart whether Xu Guangzuo would be unhappy. After taking a careful look, he saw Xu Guangzuo nodding at him with a smile, and there was no trace of unhappiness on his face, so he let go of his slightly raised heart.

What is the commander of the 3,000 battalions, regimental battalions. That is, the 3,000 battalions and regimental battalions have been under his control since today. What is the 3,000 battalion, that is one of the three main forces of the Ming Dynasty, and the Shenji battalion, the five military battalions are equally famous, all of them are Mongolian cavalry, the total number is close to 70,000, because it was developed by the founding emperor with 3,000 Mongolian cavalry, so it was named 3,000 battalions.

What is the regimental battalion, that is the elite drawn from the locality, the main force of the Gongwei Beijing Division. Each battalion ranges from 10,000 to 30,000 people, a total of 12 battalions, also known as 12 regimental battalions.

What is also called the border army, which means that the army stationed on the frontier to guard against foreign enemies must also obey his dispatch from now on.

Before he came to Beijing, his soldiers and horses were only tens of thousands, and he was still a third-rate army that was not ranked in the Ming Dynasty, so he just fought bandits to maintain local law and order. As soon as he entered the capital, he was already the highest general in the Ming Dynasty, with a first-class 3,000 battalions, a second-class 12-regiment battalion, and a second-rate border army, and the number of people reached an astonishing million.

Who can he thank for all this? The most important thing to thank is, of course, the emperor, without the emperor's reward, how can he be today. However, in addition to thanking the emperor, he should also thank one person, and that is Li Feibai. If it weren't for Li Feibai's proclamation that the so-called Great Rites Discussion was actually a struggle for power, he would still be in the dark, and after returning to the capital, it would be inevitable that he would not be stupid to say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, so how could he get the emperor's trust and be entrusted with such a heavy task.

He has to thank Li Feibai well, but it's a pity that this time the commander is the 3,000 battalion, not the Shenji battalion, otherwise Li Feibai can make a lot of money. But it's okay, there is also a firearms bureau in the 3,000 battalions, there is also a firearms bureau in the 12th regiment battalion, and there is also a firearms bureau in the border army.

The eunuch quickly finished singing the holy decree, and Guo Xun hurriedly thanked him, and thanked Dade and wept bitterly: "The minister will definitely not live up to the expectations of the saint." ”

Zhu Houxi said: "You must catch the soldiers and horses!" He stood up and continued with a look of hesitation, "As long as the military power is in hand, Yang Tinghe can't make big waves." It's not too early, so let's get back, I'm going to rest. ”

Guo Xun and Xu Guangzuo retreated, and before they went out of the gate, they almost collided with a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. The kid glanced up at Guo Xun and asked, "You are Guo Ye, the Marquis of Wuding, right?" ”

There was a child in the palace, dressed in great wealth. In addition, the big eunuch standing at the door was very respectful and flattering to the child, how dare Guo Xun slack off, and said, "It's down." Just as he was about to ask the child what to call him, the child arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Guo Ye on his promotion and fortune." With a grin, he walked around him and walked towards the hall with his hands behind his back.

The child's walking posture is very elegant, like a crane, which is unforgettable.

Guo Xun said goodbye to the big eunuch with Xu Guangzuo, and turned back to look at the child, but unfortunately the door of the palace was closed. Walking to Xu Guangzuo's sedan chair, he couldn't hold back any longer, and asked in a low voice, "Who is that child?" ”

Xu Guangzuo said: "It's the holy scholar, named Lu Bing." ”

Guo Xun let out an "oh". No wonder the child entered and exited the palace as if he were in a no-man's land, and it turned out to be a scholar who got along with the saint day and night.

Xu Guangzuo said: "If you really treat him as a scholar, then it is a big mistake." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "When his father was in the palace, he was the leader of the saint's own soldiers, and now he is in command of the Jinyi Guard. ”

Guo Xun didn't care about this, he was just a commander, an official position of the fourth grade, nothing remarkable. But Xu Guangzuo's next words really surprised him.

Xu Guangzuo said: "When his mother was in the palace, she was the nurse of the saint, and she grew up with the same milk as the saint, and the relationship is like a brother." In a few years, do you guess whether it is possible for the command of Jinyiwei to fall on his head. ”

Guo Xun was dumbfounded. He is now considered a close confidant of Zhu Houxi, but it is impossible for him to become the commander of Jinyiwei. The commander of the Jinyi Guard is no more than three grades, the official does not seem to be big, the power is really not small, no matter how big the official is in front of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he is not an official, he can take you to prison for a reason, and he personally guards the safety of the saint, so naturally the cronies of the cronies can take responsibility.

The relationship between Lu Bing and Zhu Houxi is simply the best choice for the commander of Jinyiwei. Xu Guangzuo said it too politely, is it possible or not, it must be this person!

He arched his hand to say goodbye to Xu Guangzuo, and when he got home, he immediately took out a small notebook, turned to a blank page, wrote Lu Bing's name, and then drew three bars under this name, thought about it, and wrote Li Feibai's name in the notebook, and crossed a bar on the name.

His gaze stayed on the word Lu Bing, and he said in a low voice: "I have to find a chance to make friends with him." He stopped his gaze on Li Feibai's three words and said, "After the things at hand go well, I have to let this kid come to the capital." ”
