===========================================
"Xuan, Xin'an Hou, the right imperial guard general Chen Ling is in the palace!"
In the Taihe Hall, the eunuch in the hall sang loudly. As his voice fell, the inner servants and eunuchs outside the Taihe Hall began to sing loudly one by one.
In the distance, the door of a side hall was opened, and an attendant led a badly armored Forbidden Army captain in. Chen Ling got up and stood up, took a closer look with his eyes, but had already found that the person who came was not an ordinary captain.
Although he had just entered the city of Beijing, he had been received by Wang Wei in the past two days, and he had a clear understanding of the situation of the Liaodong Army. After the Liaodong Army entered Beijing, Yang Gao was the emperor, and the official system of the central court basically did not change from before, except that a few yamen were added. In the army, the eight guards replaced the twelve guards, and there was also an additional rank in addition to the official position of the general. As soon as the young general came in, Chen Ling had already seen the shining gold epaulettes on the shoulders of the general's armor, with two general stars on them, which was the rank of major general. In the Liaodong Army, those who can be promoted to the rank of general, even if they are the lowest level of brigadier generals, are at least equivalent to the actual generals of the fourth grade.
Chen Ling knew that the real commander of the troops in the Liaodong Army today was the Shaozhuang faction in the Liaodong Army, most of them had the rank of major general and brigadier general, but they were all actual generals with soldiers and horses, and they were all Chen Pojun's subordinates. Seeing this young man, Chen Ling understood that he had met a henchman of Chen Pojun.
The major general-level general who walked in looked no more than twenty-two or three, with a burly figure, a gorgeous and bright silver bright light battle armor, and a ring knife embedded with gold and jade. On that young face, there was no pride in being in a high position at a young age, but there was calmness in his eyes, which made Chen Ling feel good.
The young man walked up to Chen Ling and said with a smile, "The general is the right imperial guard general, the Marquis of Xin'an, and Lord Chen Changwei of Lujiang?" ”
Chen Ling took a few steps forward, with the same smile on his face. "The lower official is Chen Ling, and I don't know the general's name yet."
"Under is the chief of the guard of His Royal Highness King Chen, and he is also the general of Yulin Wei Yulin, Chen Yulei."
Chen Ling's heart was shocked, this young man in front of him was Chen Yulei? Although he had just arrived in Beijing, he had already inquired about many officers of the Liaodong Army, especially the cronies and generals around Chen Pojun, and he had already inquired in detail. He knew the task of entering Beijing this time, and he also knew that Chen Kefu was the son of Chen Shen, the puppet emperor of Southern Chen, and he wanted to persuade Chen Kefu to reinforce the reinforcements to rescue Jiangdu. I'm afraid it's not an easy thing to do. That's why I carefully inquired about the people around Chen Kefu, and planned to take a winding path when necessary. He already knew that Chen Kefu had three chief guards, and these three people were the most trusted people by Chen Kefu. The first chief of the guard, Luo Lin, is now a general of Jinwu, the second Zhang Yujin is a general of the military cavalry, and the third chief of the guard who is still in service is this Chen Pojun's son Chen Yulei who came out of Chenjiazhuang back then, and now he is not only Chen Kefu's chief of guard. He also served as General Yulin.
The three chief guards, each serving as the deputy of the three guards in the eight guards, can be described as young but high-powered. He was surprised by the other party's youth, and he was so young, and as Chen Pojun's confidant general, he didn't have the slightest arrogance, nor did he have the slightest arrogance. Look at his subordinates. You can know its owner. Seeing Chen Yulei, Chen Ling also had a lot of confidence in this mission.
"General Chen, Your Majesty and His Highness have announced that you will go to the palace, please come with me." Chen Yulei said indifferently.
After passing through the triple alert of the Yulin Army, the Jinwu Army and the military police force, Chen Yulei took Chen Ling through the palace gate sentry posts, and finally came to the imposing Taihe Palace.
Two rows of tall Praetorian Guards, each more than two meters tall, sturdy and dressed in golden armor, stood guard in front of the main hall. Everyone is holding a bright Mo knife that is more than a foot long, and the pestle stands in front of the hall, which makes people daunting. Seeing Chen Yulei, a high-ranking officer, coming, they did not salute, and stood as straight as nails, motionless. Chen Ling understood that these were the legendary golden-armored guards. I heard that there are only one hundred and eight gold-armored guards, but all of them are the real elite of the Liaodong Army. …,
These people only obeyed Chen Pojun's orders, and they didn't have to obey any other people's orders. Each of these one hundred and eight gold-armored guards has a code name named after the star, and one hundred and eight gold-armored guards are one hundred and eight stars. As long as they are golden-armored guards, they will no longer be called by their original names. I heard about this one hundred and eight people. All of them are major ranks, with a five-year period. Five years later, Chen Kefu would transfer them to the various armies to command the troops.
Chen Yulei took Chen Ling into the Taihe Hall, and the hall was already full of officials at this time. On the throne of the Son of Heaven at the top, Yang Gao, who had just turned nine, sat upright, under his Danqi, under Chen Kefu alone, and above ten thousand people.
Above the splendid and extraordinary hall, there are two columns on the left and right of Beijing's civil and military ministers who are above the fifth grade. Li Benlei, Mao Xi, Lu Shishen, Gao Yan Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and the eldest grandson Wuji were all in the palace, and even Pei Shiju, who accompanied Princess Izumo to Liaodong, was also standing on top of the main hall at this time.
Chen Ling knelt down to pay homage, "The ministers pay homage to our emperor, long live long live, long live." ”
Yang Gao, who was on the dragon chair, turned his head to look at Chen Kefu, but Chen Kefu ignored him and looked at Chen Ling with his own care. Yang Gao was a little at a loss, but as soon as he was reminded by the eunuch beside him, he immediately stretched out his hand and raised it falsely, "Aiqing is flat!" ”
Chen Ling got up, "Your Majesty, on behalf of the 50,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangdu, the minister brought a congratulatory table to congratulate Your Majesty on the succession. ”
The little emperor snorted, and immediately a guard stepped forward, took the congratulatory watch, and handed it to the dragon case.
"General Chen, it's been hard all the way." Chen Kefu chuckled and stared at him deeply, his eyes sharp: "Did you rest well yesterday?" For some reason, this voice sounded very pleasant to Chen Ling, as if it was as smooth as flowing water.
Bow and salute: "Your Highness Lao is worried, and you are resting well, thank Your Highness for your reception." ”
Chen Kefu nodded: "That's good, I don't know what you are doing this time?" ”
"Your Highness, I have brought tribute and congratulations from the people of Jianghuai, as well as requests from the people of Jianghuai."
"What's the request?"
Chen Ling said respectfully, "The powerful and powerful clans in Jiangnan have rebelled, and now Jiangnan is lost, and the Jiangdu City is even more in danger, 50,000 imperial court soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people, looking forward to the reinforcements of the Son of Heaven like a long drought." Now the Jiangnan rebels Shen Faxing, Li Zitong, and Du Fuwei have joined forces with 100,000 troops, besieging Jiangdu City day and night, and they are in danger. ”
When Chen Ling spoke, he secretly looked at Chen Kefu's expression. If it weren't for the fact that the west of Jiangdu was blocked and he couldn't communicate with any of the soldiers and horses such as Luoyang or Jiangling, Chen Ling would not have been willing to come north to find Chen Kefu.
Really speaking, there is still a feud between Chen Ling and Chen Kefu.
Chen Ling's father was the assassin of the Chen Dynasty, and later when the Sui destroyed Chen, his father returned home. A few years after Chen's annihilation, the old Chen Dynasty in Jiangnan rebelled one after another, among which Chen Kefu's grandfather, Shen Faxing's father Shen Faxing, the head of the Shen family in Jiangnan, raised an army against the Sui and sent envoys to contact the old ministers of the Chen Dynasty in various places. Chen Ling's father, Chen Xian, got a letter from Shen Ke, and the local Lujiang Haoqiang also pushed him to be the main one and invited him to do something.
But at that time, Chen Xian had already been disheartened by Chen Kefu's grandfather, Empress Chen, but he was unwilling to go out again. Later, after discussing with his family, he ostensibly agreed to start an incident, but behind his back, he sent Chen Ling to contact the officers and generals sent by the Sui Dynasty, intending to quell the rebellion. In the end, because the matter was not confidential, after the incident was leaked, Chen Ling's family was all wiped out by Shen Ke, and only Chen Ling was spared because he was in the Sui army.
Chen Ling therefore joined the Sui army and fought against Shen Ke's rebels many times, and finally Shen Ke was defeated, but the Shen family later surrendered to the imperial court, and the Shen family was killed by the Sui Dynasty except for several other side branches, and the Shen Ke family was fine. Later, Chen Ling moved his family to Chang'an and joined the Praetorian Guard. In the third year of the Great Cause, he led his troops across the sea, defeated the Liuqiu Kingdom, and captured its king.
When conquering Liao, he made new contributions, Yang Xuangan rebelled, he stayed behind for Donglai, Ling led more than 10,000 people to level Liyang, and beheaded Xuangan's assassination of Shi Yuanwuben. Worship the right imperial guard general, Xin'an Hou, stationed in Jiangdu. The Chen Dynasty in Jiangnan was restored, and many officials in Jiangnan surrendered to Chen, but Chen Ling refused to surrender, and fought several times with the Chen Dynasty according to Jiangducheng. …,
He knew very well that the current Chen Dynasty was supported by Shen Faxing, and he had an enmity with the Shen family to exterminate the clan, and it was impossible for him to surrender to the Chen Dynasty. At the beginning, Chen Pojun supported Yang Gao as the emperor, so he sent people to send edicts to officials in Jianghuai, Shandong and other places, but Chen Ling has always been afraid that Chen Kefu is the son of Chen Shen and the nephew of Shen Faxing, and he does not dare to accept the leadership of the Beijing court.
Originally, he was still waiting for Yang Yichen or Wang Shichong's men to return from Hedong. Although there was a rebellion in the south of the heart, as long as the imperial army marched eastward, the rebellion would be quelled. But I didn't expect that the generals such as Laihu'er, Yang Yichen, and Wang Shichong would never return, and the Son of Heaven would return to heaven. All of a sudden, Jiangdu was in great danger, and the city was broken again. At this time, he also found out from many places that although Chen Kefu in Hebei and Chen Shen in Jiangnan are father and son, it seems that they are not in the same group, and they still seem to be opposites. Finally, when Jiangdu had no way out, he decided to go north to ask Chen Kefu to send troops for support.
For him, Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, is dead, and now there are six emperors in the Yang family, and it doesn't matter which one of them obeys. The important thing is not only to be able to relieve the siege of Jiangdu, but also to prevent him from surrendering to the Chen Dynasty and the Shen family in Jiangnan.
Chen Kefu listened calmly, and said with a smile after listening, "General Chen, you have seen this king's army all the way?" ”
"Huh? I was fortunate enough to see it in the next. ”
"What do you think?"
"Your Highness's army is magnificent, majestic, and truly a mighty army."
Chen Kefu smiled and asked, "Compared to the army of the Jiangnan rebels, so what?" ”
When Chen Ling heard this, his eyes lit up and he understood that this time it was finally not in vain.
