The guards who can walk with knives in the palace are at least four grades.

The guards of the inner palace of the former dynasty were subordinate to the Jin Wuwei, and since the beginning of the current dynasty, they have been selected among the Flying Fish Guards.

said that it was a selection, but in fact, anyone who could get this errand was either a member of the royal family or a son of a nobleman.

To be able to protect the emperor, you must not only be strong in martial arts, but also be strong and strong, follow the emperor in and out on weekdays, and look decent, and those who meet these conditions are young people in eight or nine times out of ten.

In addition to the royal family relatives and the sons of the nobles, how many young people are fourth-rank military attachés? Even if there are such people, they are all military generals who have made great achievements in the border passes, how can such a person be willing to be a guard in the palace.

Li Guanzhong's mind spun fast, and he said with a look of embarrassment: "There are a few suitable candidates in the five major camps of Zhending, but not long ago, Dingguo Gong transferred all these people to fight Han Guang. ”

He observed his words and looks, and saw that the expectation in Emperor Chongwen's eyes gradually faded, and he changed his words and said, "It's easy to say other things, it's this grade...... Unless it is the grace of the ancestors, this is the fourth grade...... With such a good messenger, I don't know how many people will be red-eyed and all staring at it. ”

Yes, those people in the clan camp, if the children of the family can get such an envoy, it is worth showing off at a large banquet, even if it is a noble son with a rich family, which of their fathers and brothers is not sharpened and wants to send the child in?

It's just that the emperor's side is overcrowded, and now that there is such a vacancy, the chosen person can't be singled out, otherwise, Emperor Chongwen himself can imagine what kind of scene it will be.

He can't offend anyone now, not the clan camp, neither can Dingguo Gong and Mao Yuanjiu.

To put it bluntly, the emperor can't even find a guard for himself now.

"Li Qing's family, is there nothing to be done?" Emperor Chongwen cried, he was really so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

Li Guanzhong covered his chest, almost vomiting blood, remembering that this time he was suffering from a head disease, he hurriedly covered his head with both hands, and had a splitting headache.

Emperor Chongwen also saw that Li Guanzhong really had no choice, and he said, "Qinglian...... Ye Qinglian has superb martial arts, I have a heart for loving talents, and reward him with a four-grade riding captain, what does Li Qing's family think? ”

Daqi has 10 levels of Wenxun and 12 levels of martial arts, and the captain of the cavalry is a military officer, no need to go to the court, and there is no real position, but the grade is there, and most of the noble children of the Great Qi Dynasty have such a grace in their mother's belly.

Li Guanzhong hurriedly praised: "Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming, thank Your Majesty Hongen for that Ye Duwei." ”

Emperor Chongwen said in his heart, Lianqing is not your son, do you need to thank him for him? But there is still a little joy in my heart.

Even the Flying Fish Guard commander can't point fingers at the Imperial Guards, but the Imperial Guards are still subordinate to the Flying Fish Guards on the surface.

Li Guanzhong made it clear that he wanted to treat Lianqing as his own.

Don't look at Li Guanzhong, who is oily and slippery, but when it comes to deep foundations, there are few people in the entire Great Qi Dynasty who can compare to him.

His father Li Yongji has done two things in his life, one is to take King Yan to fight; The other thing is now, helping the king of Yanbei County to fight Yang Qin, the first thing is to make the Li family Fulu longevity for decades, and if the second thing is successful, it will allow the Li family to continue to live for decades.

This Li Guanzhong has been in the Flying Fish Guard for more than ten years, and the two deputy commanders have all failed to die well, but he is so oily and slippery that even Xiao Changdun, the Duke of Dingguo, has to give him some face.

If Ye Qinglian has Li Guanzhong's support......

Emperor Chongwen was in a good mood and rewarded Li Guanzhong's inkstone for the first time.

Emperor Chongwen rarely rewarded courtiers, so Li Guanzhong came from the palace with an inkstone in both hands, and in less than an hour, it spread all over the yamen and mansions in the capital.

Xiao Changdun sat in the warm pavilion at home, drinking the rain that he used to disdain and now had to drink, while listening to Ama report to him about Li Guanzhong.

“...... Shengshang Longyan Dayue, rewarded an inkstone, and soon after Anchanghou left the palace, the saint named Ye Qinglian the fourth rank of the riding captain, although it is a false position, but it is also a grade. Ama said.

Xiao Changdun narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Now that the imperial court is sending troops, all the scattered officials with martial arts in each government must be called to go to the army, and when Ye Qinglian goes to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to officially complete the formalities, let him enlist in the army, well, bring his own horses and armor, since it is sealed by the Holy Lord, it will be treated like the sons in other mansions." ”

Ama answered the call and went out, and in less than half an hour, he came back again.

"Grandpa Guo, the news from the Anchang Marquis Mansion has come out, and there is a vacancy in the imperial guards around the saint."

Xiao Changdun snorted coldly: "Well, I guessed, only the imperial guards are going to be the fourth grade, it's okay, just do what I said, do it secretively, and grab the front of Li Guanzhong." ”

"Grandpa Guo, this person is hand-picked by the saint, you see ......" Ama was a little embarrassed.

"Hand-picked?" Xiao Changdun sneered, "A person who can't even find out the history of our Xiao family, let him stay by His Majesty's side, that is undoubtedly putting a knife, this person can't stay." ”

Ama understood, and asked again: "Do you want to talk to An Changhou, after all, he handled it." ”

Xiao Changdun remembered that Li Guanzhong was just angry, and he hated to dismantle Li Guanzhong.

Li Guanzhong's rabbit cub also threatened him with Xiaoliu from time to time.

Who let it be Xiao Liu who persuaded the old An Changhou Li Yongji to get out of the customs.

Xiao Changdun sighed and said, "Then say hello to him, Ye Qinglian's identity is also to be explained to him, the imperial guard is hanging under the banner of Feiyuwei, I don't believe it, if something happens to Ye Qinglian, he Li Guanzhong can get rid of it." ”

"What about Mao Shoufu's side, do you want to let the wind out?" Amma asked.

"Li Guanzhong came out with an inkstone, Mao Fu should already know the ins and outs at this time, don't worry about them." Xiao Changdun commanded.

However, the person sent by Ama to deliver the message to Li Guanzhong did not complete the task as scheduled.

Because Li Guanzhong had already taken the lead, he had completed Ye Qinglian's entry procedures at a lightning speed.

Now, Ye Qinglian is already a dignified four-rank imperial guard with a sword!

The war ahead is urgent, and all those who have martial arts must send people to enlist in the army, but those who have official positions are not used, not to mention, they are still imperial guards.

There is a shortage of people in the war, but there is no shortage of the emperor's guards.

Xiao Changdun was furious, what kind of person is Li Guanzhong? He has never been a serious person, when did he do things so quickly?

Li Guanzhong was deliberate, he was deliberately competing with himself for time.

Li Guanzhong's original intention was to let the emperor get his wish.
