238: Guarding Prince Wu
Early the next morning.
"Oh! Cool! ”
As soon as he slept in the sun, Ming Tian got up and urinated, stretched his waist, and looked up at the cloudless clear sky.
Well, the difference between that sun and Teletubbies is just the lack of my king Billy's face.
After doing a few outdated third sets of broadcast gymnastics stretches, Ming Tian washed up, tidied up, and prepared to go down the street to find clues about the Chaos Ripper.
According to the intelligence, the Chaos Ripper is in Dongyang County, and Cui Huijing's main forces are in Dongyang County, but they still haven't heard of these organizations.
It can be seen that Pang Chong must have hidden this organization very deeply, and has not been exposed so far, and it can also be guessed that the members of the Chaos Ripper have all followed the organization's code of conduct and have not exposed the organization.
That's not a good thing.
It is now the beginning of August, and today is the first day of August, and it takes half a month to send troops from Dongyang County to Yangzhou, and it takes five days for Yangzhou to assemble troops to go to Jiankang
Jiankang must be taken before the beginning of winter, that is, mid-October.
In this way, in fact, there is not much time, and it is not possible to fight Jiankang in one day.
At the end of the day, time is really short.
Ming Tian was squeezed to death here, and he could only give himself a month to find the Chaos Ripper.
If you can't find the Chaos Ripper, then the chances of attacking Jiankang will be greatly reduced, and once winter comes, the chances of winning will retreat to freezing point like the temperature.
At that time, if they retreated, the Dragon Guardian Death Guard would have up to a winter to capture Anluo and assassinate Ming Tian and everyone around him.
If you attack, then you will probably get only one result: defeat like a mountain.
Therefore, this is not a choice, it is something that Mingtian must do, if it can't be done, the consequences are unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Ming Tian was also ready and walked out of the door.
And at this very moment.
"Brother Mingtian! Oh no!! ”
An Luo's words that came out of nowhere behind almost didn't scare the defenseless Ming Tian into incontinence.
Looking back, what Ming Tian saw was An Luo's constipated face, and he didn't know that he thought his wife had a difficult birth.
"What's wrong? Panicked. ”
It's your fuss and virtue that makes Lao Tzu dislike you and don't like to take you into action.
Although Ming Tian didn't say anything about it, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at this indefinite appearance of Lao Tie.
Somehow, Anluo was gasping for breath, as if he had just run a marathon.
"Just... Just... Someone just came, and now it's in the hall! An Luo said breathlessly.
"Why is anyone making such a fuss? Cui Huijing is a big general after all, and it is normal for guests to visit and blow each other. ”
Ming Tian raised his eyebrows disappreciatively, pushed him away with an even more disapproving attitude, and prepared to leave the Cui Mansion to find the Chaos Ripper.
"Oh, Brother Mingtian, don't worry! Guess who's coming? ”
Seeing An Luo so nervous, Ming Tian was not interested at all.
"Who's the business with me? I don't have any acquaintances in Dongyang County. With no interest, Ming Tian walked by himself.
An Luo sighed and hurriedly grabbed Ming Tian.
"Brother Mingtian! Go to the lobby! The person who came was Zuo Xingsheng!! ”
"What, Zuo Xingsheng is here?" Ming Tian's eyes widened, and then with a rather surprised expression, he matched his rather sluggish voice and asked, "Who is Zuo Xingsheng?" ”
"Then you're surprised!"
An Luo patted his head and said, "Zuo Xingsheng is the prince of the guard!" You don't even know this, do you? ”
Guarding Prince Wu?!
This title really surprised Ming Tian.
[Beep], what's going on? Why did such a big official come to Cui Huijing's house?
Ming Tian knew that he lacked knowledge of history, so he would definitely suffer in ancient times, so he had consulted Yin Chan for his official position and had some understanding.
Ordinary people always think that a general is a military general, the highest-ranking officer among military generals, but this is not the case!
No matter which dynasty, the general is from the first product! Even if it is the general of Zhenguo, it is also from the first product.
The real Zhengyipin military generals, each dynasty has a different name.
Now, for example, the great Sima of Wuxing County is a military general of Zhengyipin, and all the generals of Zhengyipin, as well as the consul general of Sima Zhong, are called Prince Wu of the Guard.
There are seven or eight of the great Sima Nanqi, but there will always be only one of these guards, Prince Wu.
If the top of the civil official is the prime minister, then the top of the military general is the prince of the guard.
If you have to say it, the status of this guard prince can be called super first.
Don't look at the word prince, in fact, it has nothing to do with the prince, it's just a coincidence in the title, but the status of the prince of the guard, in Southern Qi, far exceeds the prime minister.
In terms of law, if the prince violates the law outside, the prince has the right to behead the prince first, and even has the right to impeach the crown prince and even the emperor with one person as the party.
Of course, the law is like this, and it is another matter whether it is specifically implemented or not, after all, the emperor will not give such a position to outsiders for no reason.
For example, in modern times, officials are not allowed to be corrupt in terms of discipline, but aren't there so many corrupt officials arrested every year?
So, don't just tie the rules to the actual situation.
Because Prince Wu is the highest-level military general, the emperor will only let the most trustworthy general or Sima take the role, if there is no such person, then for the sake of insurance, the emperor will generally let some civilian officials with little combat experience take this position... Because it's a little safer than appointing a military general who is not close.
Therefore, although the chief guard Prince Wu is nominally a military general, in fact, most of the leading guards in history are civil officials who are halfway monks and can easily settle even if they rebel.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the family of gate valves was established, and even the emperor was a family of door valves.
For example, Xiao Baojuan, Xiao Luan, and even the founding emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Xiao Daocheng, Emperor Gao of Qi, or Xiao Lan, the old man of Mingtian, all belong to the Xiao family gate valve, and it is also the largest gate valve now.
This Xiao door valve has a very long duration, and even Xiao Shufei in the Tang Dynasty is a person from Xiao Valve.
However, now Xiao's valve has also declined due to Mingtian's intervention, Pan Yunu's seizure of power and Pang Chong's death, and it is only a matter of time before it perishes.
And the Cui family is actually a valve family, but although Cui Huijinggui is a champion general, the Cui family valve can only be regarded as a medium-sized valve at best.
The dead Wuxing County Grand Sima Wang Jingze is also a member of the Wang family's valve.
These were all learned by Ming Tian and Yin Chan in the three days after the battle.
However, even Wang Jingze can't be the leader of the guard Prince Wu, who is this Zuo Xingsheng who came out of nowhere for no reason?
Mingtian realized that something was wrong.
Yin Chan said that the duties of the guard Prince Wu are similar to those of the observation envoy, but the observation envoy is in charge of civilians and low-level officials, while the guard Prince Wu... It's the generals from all over the world who are in charge!
This kind of official power is too large, and it is often either treacherous or greedy, and it is no wonder that this kind of official position has been no longer established since the Sui and Tang dynasties, but it does exist now.
"This Zuo Xingsheng is here to find fault?" Ming Tian asked curiously.
"It's worse than finding fault!"
The two words of An Luo made Mingtian's heart sink to the bottom.
He said a little nervously: "Zuo Xingsheng's son Zuo Qiu (read qiu), fell in love with General Cui's daughter Cui Xinrou, and came to propose to General Cui, but it looks like that... I think it's about the same as forced marriage. ”
Fancy Cui Xinrou?
Ming Tian immediately thought of this lovely girl, and also thought of the bumpy fate that this girl encountered in the original history.
Although she is a little rude and willful, it is undeniable that Cui Huijing's daughter is indeed beautiful, and her appearance is indeed enough to compete with Su Xiaoxiao!
[Hmph, I don't want to get married]
The words she said suddenly popped out of her head, and Ming Tian realized that something was wrong.
"Anyway, anyway, let's go check it out first."
After thinking for a while, Ming Tian decided to put aside the matter at hand for the time being and go to meet the so-called leading guard Prince Wu: Zuo Xingsheng.
