Chapter 170: Marquis Duyu

. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co

I went to the palace, drew a sketch, and moved my mouth to earn back the official position of the Marquis of Yu, the former secretary of the palace, and by the way, there is also a piece of jade pendant of the Son of Heaven, seeing that the jade pendant is like His Majesty in person, this transaction is worth it! This guy came back grinning all the way.

When Di Qing and Guan Zhen heard that Li Ce was going to serve in the front of the palace, their reactions were surprisingly flat, Li Ce thought that the two would be very excited, but he didn't expect the two to be so calm, he said with some embarrassment: "The guard army of the front division of the palace is the army of the Son of Heaven, the most elite army in the entire Great Song Dynasty, why don't you react at all, why don't you two want to go?" ”

Di Qing smiled slightly, but Guan Zhen couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, you inquire first, don't make it like last time, people won't recognize you at all when you go......"

Li Ce was embarrassed, it turned out that the two of them were worried that they would stick their hot faces to other people's cold butts like they did last time in Tianwujun.

"This is the decree of the Queen Mother herself, who dares to obstruct it? But...... What you two said is not unreasonable, so when we go tomorrow......"

Early the next morning, all the officials in the camp of the temple were already waiting here. The highest commander of the front division of the palace is the palace marshal - Fan Tingzhao, below him is the commander Ge Huaimin, the deputy deputy commander Kong Shouzheng, and then below is the marquis of Du Yu Li Ce, it can be said that this guy is now the fourth in command of the front division of the palace.

The nine armies under the front division of the palace are: Longwei, Xiongwei, Xuanwu, Guangde, Guangjie, Capture Rong, Tiger Wing, Shenkei, Xuanwei Army, the most famous of which is the Dragon Guard, one of the four armies of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other three armies are: Touri, Tianwu, and Shenwei, each assigned to the Guards Infantry Division and the Guards Horse Military Division in the Sanya.

The commander of each army is a military envoy, but these people generally have the title of military officer, and no matter how bad it is, it is also the title of the ranger general of the six grades, so they are usually called generals. This is like the banks of later generations, all called presidents, but there are also big and small, the branch is larger than the branch, the city bank is larger than the branch, the provincial bank is larger than the city bank, and so on......

"Palace Marshal, a Duyu Marquis came to report, did he use such a big battle? You have to bend the knot to greet him as a marquis of a small capital, just leave this matter to the deputy capital envoy General Kong to do. "The front of the palace commander Ge Huaimin said.

"Hehe, don't you know, yesterday was the Queen Mother's birthday, this kid was out of the limelight at the birthday banquet, and there are not many young people who seem to be so bold and promising." Fan Tingzhao stroked his beard and praised.

I see...... Ge Huaimin said in his heart, it has been rumored that the person who took over as the former secretary of the palace, Du Gang, is Du Gang, the son of Du Yan, the servant of the criminal department, and even they have drunk several times in private, and Du Gang also boasted to him that he is the former commander of the palace.

"My subordinates also heard about it, this kid couldn't help but make the Liao envoy feel aggrieved, and he even brought the prime minister in." The deputy instructed Kong to keep the right path. He has always looked down on what Ding Wei did, so there is nothing taboo about it.

Ge Huaimin glanced at Kong Shouzheng, but because Fan Tingzhao was present, he didn't say anything, he was Ding Wei's person, and someone slandered Ding Wei, so he was naturally a little unhappy. There are a total of three chiefs in front of the palace, but they just represent the three forces, the palace marshal Fan Tingzhao was promoted by Empress Liu, and they all instructed Ge Huaimin to be Ding Wei's person, Kong Shou was born as a civil official, and the traditional homelike thought made him only serve the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Here we are." Fan Tingzhao smiled slightly.

I saw that a hundred steps away, three handsome young men strode towards this, it was Li Ce and the three.

Li Ce gradually walked in, and found that a group of people were already greeting him, led by a person in his forties, extremely burly, with a square face, sharp edges and corners, and a sense of masculinity.

"Palace Marshal, subordinate Li Ce was ordered to report for duty." A few steps away, Li Ce began to worship.

"Haha...... You're welcome, I saw you at the banquet yesterday, but you weren't so polite yesterday. Fan Tingzhao came up and took his hand and walked towards the camp.

"Come, let me introduce you, these two are General Ge, the commander of our palace, and General Kong, the deputy envoy, and these nine people are the commanders of the nine armies." Fan Tingzhao introduced.

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." Li Ce said politely with a smile on his face.

Damn, Guan Zhen's guess is really good, these birdmen are pulling their faces one by one, as if they are out of the funeral, and they clearly look down on the master! Li Ce scolded secretly. He was polite to everyone, but found that none of the nine generals were smiling at him, and that was fine, but the deep doubt and disdain in their eyes made Li Ce unbearable.

Fan Tingzhao didn't know about this, but he turned a blind eye, this is the rule in the army, no matter who you are and what background you have, if you want to really make your brothers obey you, you have to show some real skills.

"General Li, Marquis Du Yu is an extremely important position in my palace's front division, and the most important thing in your daily work is to manage His Majesty's imperial guards and be responsible for His Majesty's security. Fan Ting called.

"My subordinates understand."

"Well, I also heard that when you were in Zhending Mansion, you also had experience in the army, presumably the affairs of the army are no strangers to you, and when you are free, you also have to assist the two of you to deal with the affairs of the army." Fan Tingzhao added.

"My subordinates understand."

Fan Tingzhao smiled, this kid said. "Okay, we've all met each other, so let's go back to each other." He waved his hand for the group to disperse.

"General Li, please come with me." Kong Shouzheng said to Li Ce.

Li Ce said in his heart: This is the end? I thought I would set up a banquet for me to catch the wind, it seems that the style of the front secretary of the palace is quite decent.

"Brother Li, you can be described as a young talent, foolish brother is still reading poetry and books at your age." Although Kong Shouzheng has been in the army for many years, he still can't change his bookish anger, and because of this, he is closer to Li Ce.

"General Kong is polite." It is better to be modest and modest.

"Hey, Brother Fool is a Jinshi of the fifth year of the Heavenly Sage, you still call me Master Kong, I Guan Brother, you seem to have also read books, I don't know if you have ever been famous?" Kong Shouzheng began to sour again.

Li Ce said in his heart that this surnamed Kong can really chatter, how can it be like checking the household registration.

"It's just a word to recognize, I can't even distinguish between the four books and the five classics." Li Ce said perfunctorily.

"Oh...... General Lee was modest. Kong Shouzheng heard that this guy didn't have any fame, and even changed his title, and soon changed from Brother Li to General Li, and this guy has a kind of literati in his bones.

Li Ce secretly laughed at his fact that the boundary between civil and military affairs was too clear, and he was afraid that even the boss Fan Tingzhao would not be in his eyes when he looked at him like this.

Kong Shouzheng took him to the big tent of the Marquis of Duyu, and left after a brief explanation.

"Senior brother, people seem to be more polite to you this time." Guan Zhen looked at the big tent and said with a smile.

"But the commander of the nine armies seems to have a prejudice against the eldest brother." Di Qing said.

"It's natural, they think I'm too young." Li Ce smiled helplessly, in fact, it was the same for himself, one day he suddenly transferred a ten-year-old superior, and no one was convinced.

"Fortunately, this is in the army, and this matter is relatively simple to solve." Guan Zhen said.

The three brothers smiled - how to solve it? Hit!

"Come on, order everyone in the Wansheng Army to gather immediately!" This was Li Ce's first military order after taking office.

Wansheng Army, the emperor's most trusted attendants and guards, the composition of personnel is all selected from the children of the nobles and the elite of the army, now there are 8,000 people in the entire Wansheng Army, the establishment of the Wansheng Army is more special, these 8,000 people are divided into four squads, and the commander of each squad has a commander and a head, but because it is the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, the position is also higher than other armies of the same level, for example, a commander of the Wansheng Army is equivalent to the commander of the Tianwu Army, and Li Ce, the Marquis of Yu, and the commander of the Tianwu Army, Wei Chi Junmai, are on an equal footing, Even faintly half a level higher than him.

The 8,000 men and horses were quickly assembled, and the four commanders stood at the front, leading their own squads.

"Old Sun, just such a freshly weaned baby, to lead our Wansheng Army?" Ruan Liang said. He is one of the four commanders, the one called Lao Sun is called Sun Yuanqing, and he is the oldest of the four commanders, and he has always led the Wansheng Army before Li Ce came.

"Hmph, embroidered pillows, it's useless." Sun Yuanqing scolded with a face.

"Hey, people are taking the path of the Queen Mother." Guo Yongdao, he is also a commander.

Only the last commander, Geng Mingyuan, kept his face dark and didn't speak, because he also came in through the door, and the other three commanders always looked down on him, and he didn't want to deal with the other three.

Li Ce took Di Qing and Guan Zhen in stride, he learned a lesson last time, and today he will no longer engage in the pro-people set, he wants to establish his authority and establish absolute majesty!

Li Ce boarded the general's platform and glanced at the assembled Wansheng army, there were really a lot of 8,000 people, and when they looked at the past, many people saw Li Ce show his face, and they pointed at the general.

Li Ce finally set his eyes on these four commanders, these four people have the most seniority in the army, if they want to make trouble, they must also be these four people who take the lead, look at their unruly eyes, you know that they are not convinced.

"The four commanders, why don't you worship when you see Shangguan?" Li Ce said with a cold face.

"Hmph, the stink hasn't dried." Ruan Liang said in a low voice.

"What do you say? Say it again! Li Ce said coldly.

"Humph!" Ruan Liang did not respond, but spat on it, lowered his head and stepped on it with his foot.

"Despise the superiors, disobey the military order, and someone will pull me down and beat me with twenty military sticks!" Li Ce pointed at Ruan Liang and said loudly.

Ruan Liang raised his head and glared at Li Ce angrily, the kid was holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and he was going to beat himself with a military stick on the first day of his tenure? Lao Tzu has been in the army for more than ten years and has never been beaten with a military stick!

"Didn't you hear me! Where is law enforcement in the military? I can't even disobey my orders! Li Ce looked at the army, and no one dared to come out to enforce the law.

"Since you can't do your duty well, what's the use of leaving you waiting, there are a few law enforcement people, take off your military uniform for Lao Tzu now, and go home!" Li Ce said.

"Ruan Liang, don't make too much trouble, and affect your brothers." Sun Yuan Aoki said lightly with a face.

Ruan Liang snorted heavily, and the four of them looked at each other, bowed down together, and said, "My subordinates have seen Lord Duyuhou." ”
