Chapter 265: Spending Money to Redeem Yourself

"It's okay, it's just that I've been lying down for too long, and my hands are not my own. If I rest for another two months, I'm afraid I'll forget how to swing my sword. ”

Speaking of which, I overcame it a bit and began to dance the sword again.

Compared to before, there are a few fewer branches.

But for a person who is recovering from a serious illness, the recovery is already very good.

The fourth prince stood aside and watched for a while.

When he saw Lin Xingzhi's sweat flying down from his forehead, he refused to stop.

There is relief between the eyebrows and eyes.

"It's indeed a good seedling, Lao Ji, I'll leave this person to you, whether there will be another Praetorian Guard commander who can control the field in the future depends on your ability."

The old Ji in the mouth of the fourth prince is the new commander of the Praetorian Guard standing beside him.

He was once one of the best players in the Imperial Army.

He is more suitable to stay by the emperor's side than his ability to strategize on the battlefield.

After all, not everyone has the ability to see eight points and listen to six ways.

Being the commander of the Praetorian Guard is no easier than a general who leads troops to war.

Especially after Cui Shixiu's incident, the entire Praetorian Guard is basically equivalent to a big change.

The Fourth Prince's Five Thousand Men from the Imperial Army replaced the Praetorian Guard.

They are all bloody men.

And loyalty.

The original Praetorian Guards were all sent to the Imperial Army for training.

The first is to sound the alarm bell for them, and the second is that the errand of the Praetorian Guard is too good, and many people have forgotten their real skills, and it is time to go back.

As soon as the news came out, many people complained.

After all, when you are on an errand in front of the emperor, you have more opportunities to rise to the top.

And in the Imperial Army, it is necessary to rely on one's own ability.

Many people can't bear this hardship, and they all think about how to euphemistically express that they are not in the imperial army.

However, Jiang Huanqing is a brain, and he suggested in one sentence.

"The Praetorian Guards who have been removed this time, not to mention 10,000 people, most of them are children of the family who come to mix their merits, they don't want to join the Emperor's Army, so the four princes might as well let their families pay for ransom. Five hundred taels of silver a piece, not too much. ”

Five hundred taels of silver, which is enough to eat in ordinary people's homes for many years.

But for those powerful families, it's very simple.

Compared to the lives of his own sons and nephews, five hundred taels of silver is simply like a play.

Therefore, when the news first came out, everyone was skeptical.

I'm afraid that this is not a deliberate test for them.

So all of them are waiting to see.

Who knew that as soon as the fourth prince Chrysostom opened, he said that at most a thousand people could leave the camp.

Those children of powerful families who are greedy for life and afraid of death have donated generously.

So much so that in the back, in order to free his children from the bitter sea of the Imperial Army, the threshold of the Four Princes' Mansion was about to be broken.

Today it is this one who comes to beg, and tomorrow it is the one who comes to cry.

The four princes and the four princesses are restless.

gave face to this family, and couldn't help but give it to the other.

In the end, the fourth prince pretended to have a headache and left the matter to the people below to do.

Naturally, this opening widened unconsciously.

In the end, there was more than one person who redeemed himself for 5,000 taels of silver.

After the mighty army rectification incident passed, the four princes received a total of 684,000 taels of ransom money.

After the emperor was known, half of the money was put into the treasury, and half was used as the salary of the emperor's army.

Not to mention the armor and weapons that changed the soldiers with a new water, there were even a lot more oil stars in the soup.

This matter kills three birds with one stone.

Both the Imperial Army and the Praetorian Guard have received a significant boost.

And those sons and brothers who had no intention of going up and couldn't endure hardships were also smoothly expelled from the core power.

For this reason, Jiang Huanqing was promoted to three levels in a row and directly became the deputy leader of the Fourth Prince's personal guard.

But it brought hope to the Earl of Rongchang's palace.

"Don't worry, with his determination to block the sword in front of the emperor, the last general is also very impressed, and he must teach him well to live up to the emperor and the prince's heart of cherishing talents."

The fourth prince nodded with satisfaction.

Then his eyes fell on Jiang Huanqing's body.

This kid, he used to be a little underestimated.

I have to say that the brain is indeed bright.

It gave him another idea, but he had to wait and see.

They are only young people in their early twenties now, and it is not a good thing to be glorified if they are not experienced enough.

If the foundation is unstable, high-rise buildings can also collapse.

Everyone understands this.

So, it's better to take your time and not rush.

Lin Xingzhi and Jiang Huanqing practiced against each other for a while, and it wasn't until they were both sweating profusely that they saw the figures of the fourth prince and Ji Commander.

Immediately walked over and knelt down on one knee and said.

"My subordinates have seen the four princes and the commander of Ji."

"Well, get up."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Both of them are iron-clad men, if it is said that there were still some fledgling immatures in the past, after a year or so of training, there is a bit of a general's style.

It's just that there is still a long way to go, and we can really get this far.

It's still unknown.

"Are your injuries healed? Just practicing hard here? Carefully hurt the bottom of the body. ”

"Don't worry, if my subordinates don't do well, the second uncle in the family won't let me out."

This one is.

Just look at his current complexion and body shape, in the past few months of recuperating from injuries in the Dong family, he has indeed recovered well.

"Well, that's good, but it's better to do it gradually, don't rush at this time, understand?"

"Yes, thank you for your advice, and your subordinates should remember."

Hearing his answer, the Fourth Prince and Commander Ji glanced at each other.

They all showed a satisfied look.

"Okay, you can recover in the army for two months, and when it's almost over, you will follow Commander Ji into the Praetorian Guard."

Into the Praetorian Guard?

He remembered that he had made it clear that he still wanted to return to the Imperial Army.

Why are you going to send him to the Praetorian Guard again?

So I wanted to refuse.

Who knew that the fourth prince added.

"This is the emperor's personal will, you are the first-class chief of the imperial guard, and the yellow coat given by the emperor, since the previous dynasties of the Great Wei, the yellow coat given by the emperor has been sent out a total of seven, everyone is a meritorious minister in the Great Wei, not much to say, this king remembers that the commander of Ji has one, right."

"The prince has a good memory, and there is indeed one in the end."

The meaning of the yellow jacket, Lin Xingzhi still doesn't understand it very well.

But he was still a little more shocked when he heard that there were only seven people.

The first-class chief of the imperial guard, this position is also very powerful.

Not to mention anything else, the entire imperial guards of the Qian'an Palace will obey his orders.

A year ago, he was a classless guard, but now he has become a celebrity in front of the emperor.

This speed is really beyond the reach of others.

But those present felt that it should.
