Chapter Forty-Three: Military Orders Are Like a Mountain

The child is going to take over the Praetorian Guard Camp first, and the Praetorian Guard Camp is responsible for the guard of the royal city, and there are about 5,000 people, all of whom are the children of the royal nobles.

Once the Janissary Battalion was subdued, it was much easier to manage the Imperial Guard Battalion, which was responsible for the defense and security of the outer and inner cities. Although the Imperial Guard Camp has a large number of people, about 15,000 people, these people are all from the civilian population, and it is not as difficult as the Praetorian Guard Camp.

Qiu Ba has always been very impulsive, and it is not possible to bring his own people, so he is ready to take the Flying Tiger Army there.

Before he could reach the front yard, he saw Li Su probing his brain at the middle gate, and he didn't dare to enter the backyard. After a while, the woman ginger came out. He ran to Li Su with a stack of clothes in his hand and handed it to him, Li Su and Nu Jiang were gesturing with their eyebrows, and they actually grabbed Nu Jiang's hands.

The sub-period is not good to take a step closer, so he stood behind the rockery. Until the woman Jiang ran back, she was startled when she saw Ziqi, her face turned crimson, and she called out His Highness and ran away.

Ziqi was secretly happy in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that Li Su, this kid, was quite good at bluffing the little girl. Ziqi walked quickly to the middle gate and stopped him.

Li Su saw Ziqi hurriedly put his back behind him, "Your Highness, tell me something?" With a flattering smile on his face.

Ziqi patted him, "Don't hide it, I saw it, what's the matter?" ”

Li Su smiled, "Your Highness, my clothes are torn, and Sister Jiang helped me mend it." "This kid has beautiful eyebrows and a strong body, but he is quite pleasing to girls. As he walked, he asked, "How old are you today?" ”

Li Su scratched his head, "I am nineteen years old this year, the same age as His Highness. ”

Ziqi nodded, "It's time to start a family, it's time for you to talk about marriage, right?" ”

Li Su looked helpless, "Your Highness, I know that Nu Jiang likes me very much, and I like her too, but I didn't dare to say it." Their family is a down-and-out aristocrat, but the down-and-out is also a nobleman. I'm just a civilian hunter, and I'm afraid that He Bu won't like it, so I won't agree. ”

Ziqi liked Li Su's cleverness, and said: "Li Jiao Li Hong will lead the troops in command in the future, and He Bu will also have to be released, you will stay with me in the future, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the woman Jiang, leave it to me to say." ”

Li Su was overjoyed when she heard this, and followed behind Ziqi with a thousand thanks.

When he came to the front yard, Ziqi asked Li Hong to order the seventy Flying Tiger Army to accompany him, first went to the palace to receive the talisman, and then rushed to the guard camp together. As soon as he arrived at Suzaku Terrace, Xiao Cavalry Guard/Zijian greeted him. I heard that this person was the eldest son of Bigan, who had just turned twenty years old, and he looked very powerful.

Ziqi just nodded and led everyone into the Suzaku Terrace. Most of the buildings in the Shang and Zhou dynasties were called platforms, so the Suzaku Terrace was just a hall of five rooms.

The sub-period sat on the top position, and Li Jiao and the others stood solemnly behind the sub-period.

He showed Zijian the talisman and said with a smile: "Trouble Zijian to pass the order, summon the battalion officers above 100 commanders of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, and go to the Vermilion Bird Terrace in half an hour to discuss the matter." The order shall not be delayed, and the violator shall be punished for disobedience. ”

Zijian stood up, "Your Highness is polite, even if you have something to order, you and I are brothers of the same clan, and you have to call me brother!" ”

When we met for the first time, Zijian's first impression of Zijian was very good, and his speech and demeanor were by no means like other aristocratic gentlemen, he had the style of a gentleman, and it seemed that the tutor of the young master was still very good. Ziqi pressed his hand on him, "Then there is Brother Lao!" ”

Zijian immediately sent people to give orders, and then ordered the soldiers to offer tea and accompany Zijian to talk in the hall. Without Zi Ji asking, Zi Jian briefly explained some of the situation in the Praetorian Guard Camp to Zi Ji.

During the conversation between the two, some of the generals came one after another, some came to greet them, and some just didn't know each other, and they were listed in front of the stage.

Just half an hour later, the Suzaku Terrace was full of people.

Ziqi put down the teacup, "Xiao Cavalry Guard/Lord, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion are sufficient, there is no shortage, right?" ”

Zijian knew that Zi Qi was going to take care of business, so he arched his hand and said: "Lord Inspector of the Forbidden Army, counting the soldiers and officers at all levels of guards, horses, and archery, there are exactly five thousand people, no more, no less." ”

Ziqi nodded, "Then please trouble Lord Xiao Cavalry Guard!" ”

Zijian picked up the bamboo slip from the desk, slowly unfolded it, and began to point it. Zi Ji smiled secretly, it turned out that the army had also begun to use a large number of bamboo slips, I don't know how far my move can affect the course of history, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!

Seeing that Zijian finished ordering, Ziqi asked, "Is there anyone who hasn't arrived?" ”

Zijian arched his hand and replied: "Back to the forbidden army guard, the longbow guard Wu Xu, the left hundred shots and the right hundred shots have not arrived!" ”

Ziqi picked up the teacup and said, "Don't worry, then let's wait!" ”

The dripping droplets of water fell down, and the hall began to be quiet, and then the more they waited, the more irritated they became, and the guards couldn't help but turn their heads and ears. Only the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army stood motionless behind Ziqi, without a trace of expression on their faces.

Ziqi lowered his eyes and leisurely tasted tea, and muttered in a low voice: "The taste is far from the taste of Biluochun in later generations, but unfortunately, I can't drink it anymore!" Zijian was puzzled when he heard him, and he was not easy to ask.

After waiting for another half an hour, Wu Xu staggered in with two hundred shots. Walked to the desk and bowed, "I have seen Lord Guard, but unfortunately I have been delayed due to some military affairs, please forgive me." After that, he raised his head, looked at Ziqi and smiled slightly.

Ziqi said indifferently: "Lord Wuxu is still busy enough, I don't know what military affairs are?" ”

Wu Xu straightened up, "Lord Hui, there were two murders the night before, two families of clergy and military guards and their families were assassinated, and the family's wealth was cleaned and empty. The imperial guard battalion investigated for two days and failed to capture the culprit, so he brought someone to assist in the arrest. ”

Ziqi frowned, "The clerical guard, what clerical guard?" Zijian whispered beside him: "It's the two who were just holding the sword a few days ago!" ”

Ziqi nodded, "The military order from the Xiao Cavalry Guard, can you receive it?" ”

Wu Xu pressed the hilt of his sword and replied, "Naturally, I received it!" ”

Ziqi's face turned cold, "When did you receive it?" ”

Wu Xu was stunned for a moment, "It's been nearly an hour!" ”

Ziqi asked silently: "The murder happened in the outer city, and it stands to reason that the responsibility of investigating the murderer should be the matter of the imperial guard camp, which sent you there?" ”

Wu Xu replied confidently: "Lord Taizhu, please humble yourself to assist the Imperial Guard Battalion in the investigation!" ”

Ziqi suddenly became angry, "You are so bold, what kind of thing do you wish him to be?" Can the Praetorian Guard battalion also be mobilized? After saying that, the teacup in his hand smashed into Wu Xu's face, Wu Xu was startled, his head was deviated, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered, and the pottery pieces flew around. The hall was startled, and everyone looked at each other.

Ziqi pointed at him and shouted, "Wu Xu, are you guilty? ”

Wu Xu's face was full of indifference, "I don't know!" ”

Ziqi's face became colder and colder, "Bold Wuxu, do you still dare to quibble?" If you receive an order from the cavalry guards and do not return to the camp on time, you will be guilty of disobeying the order; In the army, listening to the call of the clergy outside the army, in order to leave his post without permission, his two crimes are also; It is the responsibility of the Imperial Guard Battalion to arrest the murderers, and you, as an officer of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, interfere in the military affairs of the Imperial Guard Battalion, and you are guilty of three crimes. ”

Zi sneered again, "Come on, push out the three of them and cut them down!" ”

Outside the hall, the guards heard the call of the child and swarmed in. When he came to Wu Xu, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it. Wu Xu held the hilt of the sword in his hand and pulled out half a foot, "Who dares to catch me?" When the guard saw this, he hurriedly stepped aside.

Wu Xu pointed at Ziqi and shouted, "Lord Guard, you can't kill people at will as a prince, right?" The three sins you mentioned, Wu Xu did not accept it, and there were once before, why did you only sentence Wu Xu for the crime? ”

Ziqi laughed, "Once upon a time? In the past, it was not Ben Hou who oversaw the army, and it had nothing to do with Ben Hou, but now Ben Hou is in charge of the Chaoge army and horses, so he has to listen to the orders of this king. Come on, pull it out and cut it! ”

Before the guards could come forward, Wu Xu gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword, "Who dare to do it?" ”

Ziqi stood up and approached Wuxu step by step, and Li Jiao was afraid that Ziqi would lose, so he followed. Wu Xu saw that Ziqi was approaching step by step, and his knife-like eyes forced him to breathe. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, only to see Ziqi's hand like electricity, and in an instant, the sword light flashed in front of him from top to bottom, and he immediately felt that his head and chest were cool. Then a mist of blood erupted, and his eyes were bright red, the last color he saw.

There was an exclamation in the hall, watching Wu Xu gradually fall back and fall to the ground. Ziqi jumped back to dodge the blood arrow, swung his sword into the sheath and scolded: "Cheap bones! ”

The two hundred shots were so frightened that their legs became weak, and they collapsed in unison, "Their mouths kept shouting: "Your Highness spare your life!" The guards spare their lives! ”

Ziqi waved his hand to the guard, "Pull it out and cut it!" The guards came over, grabbed Wu Xu's feet and necks and pulled the corpse out of the hall, while the rest dragged the two paralyzed Baizhu to the ground.

In an instant, there were two screams outside the hall, and Ziqi pursed his lips, "I'm most afraid of trouble, I don't want to trouble you, don't make trouble for me, as the saying goes, military orders are like mountains, and they will act according to military orders in the future, meritorious service will be rewarded, and crimes will be punished." It's time to change the military regulations of our Praetorian Guard Camp and Imperial Guard Camp, and I'll go back and consider it, and announce it in three days. ”

The people in front of the hall hadn't recovered from their horror, it was all too sudden.

Ziqi glanced at everyone, "This is the time to govern the army, and the public is strict, and the rewards and punishments are clear." From tomorrow, the whole training will be three months. During the whole training period, there were no officials or positions in the whole army, and only one instructor obeyed orders. After the training, the official position will be assigned according to the ability and prestige, and everyone will hand in the waist card! ”

The waist card is a certificate of identity and official position, and now everyone understands that when the Inspector comes to kill people, it turns out that it is for this. Zijian took the lead in untying the waist card and put it on the table, and then everyone removed the waist card one after another and put it on the case.

Ziqi looked at the golden bronze waist cards and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, as long as everyone is at ease and disciplined, these waist cards will be returned to everyone in three months." If you are lucky and think that you are good to bully, then you will be offended, where to go back and forth, and get out of here! ”

Everyone in the hall secretly complained to themselves, and their faces twitched, "Are you still a bully?" If you don't bully us, we will burn high incense! ”

Next, the Janissary Battalion was divided into a team for every 100 people according to the roster, and the Flying Tiger Army selected 50 people as team officers to be responsible for the whole training, and appointed Li Hong as the chief officer.

After the assignment was completed, the sub-period looked down, "That's it here today, and the training will start tomorrow at midnight, and I will listen to the team officer and the team officer." That's it, I'm still going to the Imperial Guard Camp! "After that, leave Li Hong and fifty team officers. led Li Jiao and the rest of the people out of the Suzaku Terrace, got on the horse and left the Praetorian Guard Camp.

The people behind him breathed a sigh of relief.

Out of the inner city, Ziqi saw He Bu following him, and asked quietly: "You get along with Brother Li Su day and night, what do you think of him?" He Bu didn't know the intention of the child, and hurriedly said: "He's very good, although sometimes naughty, but he is very clever, and he has good mental skills, and everyone likes him very much!" ”

Ziqi knows that He Bu speaks honestly and never flatters, and it seems that he still has a good impression of Li Su. Walking with him and saying, "Sister Jiang is not young, she will be sixteen years old soon." I saw that the two of them were quite compatible. wants to fulfill their marriage, but Li Su cares that your brother and sister are from a noble family, and is afraid of looking down on him! ”

Only then did He Bu understand the intention of the child, and said with a wry smile: "What are you talking about nobles, they have been down for so long." If it weren't for His Highness to take him in, our brothers and sisters would have wandered the streets. This matter is all up to His Highness, as long as he can be good to his little sister for the rest of his life. ”

Ziqi smiled: "Then it's decided, I'll host for them in a few days!" ”

The two of them talked and laughed, even if the marriage between Nu Jiang and Li Su was decided.

When I arrived at the Imperial Guard Camp, the takeover was very smooth, and there was no incident similar to Wu Xu. In the sub-period, the 15,000 people of the imperial guard battalion were divided into 1,000 people for a team for training, and 15 soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army were assigned as instructors, leaving Li Jiao as the chief instructor to supervise the imperial guard battalion.

Everyone stayed in the guard camp to eat with the sergeants, and everyone felt that the fourth prince had no arrogance, and was very happy to be kind. If I knew that he had killed people with his own hands half an hour ago, I am afraid I would not have seen it that way.

During the banquet, Ziqi and the imperial guard camp Duowei inquired whether the culprit had been caught in the murder in the outer city, and Duowei was in his forties, with a bitter face. It's not easy to talk about repeated nagging, although many suspects were arrested, and in the end, there was no evidence, and they were all released.

Coming out of the imperial guard camp, Ziqi felt that it was better to listen to the whole training to the sky. Although Di Yi has said many times, he entrusted the guards to him. But since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has been affectionate, who knows when to turn the wrong tendon, or be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years.

entered the inner garden and arrived at Emperor Yi's bedroom, and sure enough, Zishou was also there. Since listening to Ziqi's advice, Zishou has entered the palace almost every day, and his filial piety is well known to the government and the opposition. It is difficult for the child period to accept that the son was accused of being punished in the history books of later generations, and it is almost useless.

Di Yi listened to Zi Qi's measures, and didn't take it to heart at all, "Praetorian military affairs, you can do it yourself, you don't have to tell me everything." ”

Zishou took over the topic and said with a smile: "Father is quite relieved of you, and you still have the ability to govern the army in the child's period!" ”

Di Yi was also in a very good mood, "Yes, the Northern Expedition to Heifeng Village to relieve the siege of Jizhou, this king knows the ability of the sub-period, not those who talk about it can be compared, the sub-period governs the army, I am a hundred assured." ”

The father and son chatted for a while, and the son was driven back to the Hou Mansion by Di Yi to rest.

Back in Haocheng Houfu, before Ziqi could tie the horse, Li Shen and Li Xiao brothers greeted him. Ziqi had no choice but to hand over Heifeng to Wudu, "Everything is done?" ”

Li Shen nodded, "Your Highness, according to your orders, yesterday morning, Fei Xian and Yishu were already put into the ground. A stone monument was erected this morning, and we brought people back. ”

Ziqi found that Li Xiao's face was different, and when Li Shen spoke, he was trembling beside him.

"What's wrong with you?" Zi asked expecting his frightened face.

Li Xiao was relatively young, only sixteen years old, and glanced at his brother, "Your Highness, it's quite scary to say." Last night, I heard a ghost crying on the grave of Sister Fei Xian in Merlin! ”

"What!" The child period was also creepy by him.

Li Xiao swallowed, "Your Highness, I really didn't lie, if it weren't for my brother and a few of them, I would have been scared to death." ”

Li Shen nodded, "Your Highness, my second brother really didn't lie, a few of us heard it!" ”

The child feels a cool breeze swishing on the back of his neck!
