Chapter 4 Undercurrents are surging
Since Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a cup of wine, the military system of the Song Dynasty has been changed again and again, in line with the principle of strong cadres and weak branches, as much as possible to strengthen the forbidden army, weaken the box army, although this ensured the internal stability of the Great Song Dynasty, to avoid the division of feudal towns since the end of the Tang Dynasty, but the local strength is weak, but also one of the reasons for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin himself relied on the forbidden army to become the emperor, no matter what the inside story of the yellow robe is added, since he became the emperor, of course he will not leave the fast passage of the forbidden army to others. Subsequently, the forbidden army gradually formed a pattern led by the three divisions, which were not subordinate to each other, and all directly obeyed the emperor's orders.
The three divisions refer to the front division of the palace, the guard pro-army horse army and the guard pro-army infantry army, among them, the front division of the palace is the guard of the Son of Heaven, the most elite.
One of Gao Yu's positions is the "palace marshal" of the front division of the palace. Lin Chong and Li Jing, including Wang Jin, who left his post and fled a few years ago, are all subordinate to the front division of the palace and are all subordinates of Gao Yu.
On this day, Li Jing came to the barracks where he was. It turned out that early in the morning of this day, Li Jing's boss sent someone to look for him to go to the barracks, saying that he had something important to ask.
Li Jing's boss is named Cao Qi, and it is said that he is a descendant of Cao Bin, the founder of the Great Song Dynasty. Last time, he said that because of Li Jing's father, it was this commander who promoted Li Jing to be the head of the capital, although he was an old fox, but he was really good to Li Jing, except for being in the army, all other places were to ask Li Jing to be a nephew.
At this time, our old fox Cao was wiping his beard, thinking about something.
The cause of the matter is this, the middle and senior officers of the forbidden army have to go to the three divisions every three days, according to the practice of the early Song Dynasty, the armies will often change guards, but until now, it is just a report, should be a scene, but Gao Taiwei seems to have a sense of accomplishment for his position as a captain (palace marshal), every time he must arrive, in fact, many times as long as the subordinate officials in front of the palace are there.
As usual, Gao Yu smiled and watched the generals salute him one by one, and responded with a smile, and every time he felt a sense of accomplishment - thinking that he was just a scoundrel in Tokyo at the beginning, but also because his father sued him for being unfilial and was sentenced to leave Tokyo, who would have thought that he would reach this high position today?
Gao Yu always thinks of these so-called big people now, as well as those who laugh at him, and now he has to be respectful. I stammered myself submissively, and the excitement in my heart was indescribable!
"It's a pity that my dead ghost daddy can't see it!" Gao Yu thought so in his heart.
Gao Yu was thinking about it, when another person came to order, his brows furrowed, and he immediately stretched out, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened just now.
The person who came was none other than our old fox Cao Qi! I saw that although this person was wearing a general's robe, he didn't look like a general, but like a civil servant, with a slightly chubby figure and a little small eyes.
In Gao Yu's eyes, this Cao Qi is an old loach, slippery and unskilled, he looks like a good old man on weekdays, he doesn't stand out in everything, and he also has a background, which can be said to be Gao Yu's most wanted to win over, but it is the most difficult to control his subordinates!
Seeing Cao Qi, Gao Yu thought of the secret discussion in the mansion yesterday, and suddenly had a little headache.
It turned out that when Lu Yuhou said goodbye to Dong Chao and Xue Ba to return to Gao Yu, he told Gao Yu about Li Jingqi by the way. There are still people in Bianjing City who dare to go against my Gao Taiwei? Hum!!!
Gao Yu was not ambiguous, and immediately sent someone to find out who this Li Jing was! The result of the investigation is also very simple, Li Jing is a head, a clear little person, and Gao Yu is against him because he has a good relationship with Lin Chong, and he is also a teacher and friend, but there is a little bit of something special, according to the news brought by the person who went to the military camp to investigate, this Li Jing was personally recommended by Cao Qi!
This makes Captain Gao embarrassed, although he is Cao Qi's boss, but Cao Qi is a powerful faction in the army after all, and he is low-key on weekdays, Gao Yu has always wanted to win over, but Cao Qi is very tactful, never responds positively, and does not express his position. You must know that there are only two powerful ministers who hold military power, he and Tong Guan! The two are allies and rivals!
So for Cao Qi, Gao Yu wants to subdue and win over and take it for his own use. In this way, naturally you can't hate Cao Qi because of a Li Jing.
Just when Gao Yu had a headache, someone on the side said an idea, this person was none other than Fu'an, and Lin Chong's matter was designed by him and Lu Yuhou.
"Grace is on top, since you are afraid that Cao Qi will not be able to deal with Li Jing, you might as well transfer him elsewhere, if you want to befriend Cao Qi, you can also promote this Li Jing to a two-level official position."
The old man next to him also said: "Two days ago, there was a steward in the mansion who went to Gaotang Prefecture and came back, it seems that the leader of the sergeant who traveled with him is also named Li Jing, maybe it is the same person!" Why don't you call him and ask him? ”
In order to act conveniently, Gao Yu named several stewards in the family, and this steward is the Gao Yu Hou in the previous article!
Gao Yu called this steward, asked about Li Jing, and asked about what he had seen along the way, but this steward was only in the carriage along the way, where did he know so many things? Seeing that Gao Yu's face was getting darker and darker, the steward's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "I heard on the road that there are many bandits in Qingzhou, although Li Jing and they only go to Gaotang Prefecture, they are also very well defended along the way, but there are no giant bandits, only some small thieves." ”
"Murong Yanda's Qingzhou?" Gao Yu vaguely remembered that someone had told him, but what does this kind of small thing in the place have to do with my tall captain? It's not my place!
Go to the barracks after the o'clock, this is also the habit of the generals of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, but Cao Qi came a little late today, but it was because he was retained by Gao Yu today.
Now, this matter has been Cao Qi's turn to have a headache, thinking of this, Cao Qi smiled wryly, "This stinky boy, it's really not worry-free!" ”
Cao Qi was not in the mood to inspect the barracks, so he went straight to the barracks to sit and wait for Li Jing to arrive, and he was secretly thinking about how to reprimand Li Jing later......
