The general manager Chen Zhenghua told Xia Xu this, in fact, Xia Xu knew it.

Chen Zhenghua thought about it all the way, nothing more than that he didn't want Xia Xu to mess up the matter of meeting the monarch in his own hands!

Xia Xu sneered in his heart, but he didn't expose it, because there was no need for that!

A person like the chief manager Chen Zhenghua, he is nothing more than to consolidate his position and power, after all, the eunuch party is not as good as before!

If it weren't for the eunuchs and the prime minister joining forces, I'm afraid they would have been broken by the blood-stained duke a long time ago!

It's just that in Xia Xu's eyes, this kind of person will have to die sooner or later!

It's just not the time!

Listening to Chen Zhenghua chattering on the side, Xia Xu put his mind on the monarch he was about to meet.

The current monarch of the Eastern Sui Kingdom is the seventy-eighth monarch of the Eastern Sui royal family, called Chen Shun!

Chen Xian, as a monarch, is actually cowardly!

Chen Xian's father, Chen Qiang, the previous monarch of the Eastern Sui Kingdom, originally didn't want Chen Xian to be the prince!

But Chen Qiang only had three princes, and the other two princes were all killed on the battlefield!

In this way, Chen Xian, who is not very strong, became the monarch!

Although he was not tough enough, causing the power of the Eastern Sui Kingdom to fall into the hands of traitorous ministers, Chen Xian is still a benevolent monarch, he loves the people like a son, which makes the people of the Eastern Sui Kingdom reasonable for so many years!

But it is inevitable that bloodstained is now controlling the government!

In the government, only the prime minister Wang Congwen and the eunuch party chief Chen Zhenghua fought against him!

Militarily, among the four dukes, except for the blood-stained duke, the strongest force is Zonghu!

However, Zong Hu knew that in terms of military strength, he couldn't beat the bloodstained!

Therefore, Zonghu had also wooed two other dukes before, Duke Qianlan and Duke Qingliang!

These two dukes are usually neutral, after all, the family is big, how can they easily join any of them?

Besides, those two dukes are also ministers after all, who doesn't have some ambitions? How can they easily give in to other dukes?!

So Duke Qianlan was originally cold, as the only female duchess, she didn't pay attention to any party, she only did her duty as a courtier!

As for Duke Qingliang, he seems to be interested in taking refuge with the bloodstained Duke recently!

Duke Qingliang was originally ambitious, he often had no royal law, wantonly killed people and set fires, and did all kinds of evil!

The people of his realm, living in dire straits, are waiting for a hero to come down from the sky to save them!

Who will this hero of the world be?!

But Duke Qingliang knew that his ability was limited, so he had frequent contact with the bloodstained duke, and it seemed that the two wanted to join forces!

Once the two dukes unite, the consequences are unimaginable!

More than half of the territory of the Eastern Sui Kingdom will rebel!

As a result, the Eastern Sui Kingdom is in danger!

Coupled with the hostile state of Longqi, the Eastern Sui State has been eyeing the East Sui State for a long time...... It's really over!

Therefore, Zonghu, whose fate is closely linked to the Eastern Sui Kingdom, did not want to see this, so he wooed Xia Xu!

But Xia Xu also happened to come here to Liwei!

In the Eastern Sui National Prestige, don't let the young people bother themselves to fight against the demon clan!

As for the monarch of the Eastern Sui Kingdom, he is naturally willing to see himself come to the imperial city to receive a reward!

Because in this way, it means that Xia Xu is willing to become the backbone of the Eastern Sui Kingdom!

Then the future of the monarch Chen Xian also has an extra guarantee!

But Chen Xian is a person, Xia Xu looks down on him in his heart, precisely because he is weak!

If he wasn't weak, how could he let Wei Zhongxian and Bloodstain grow big successively?!

At the time of his thoughts, Xia Xu had already followed Chen Zhenghua to the outside of the Jinluan Palace!

The splendid Jinluan Palace, but it is full of the helplessness and sadness of the royal family!

Outside the Jinluan Palace, of course, there are many guards, and the early dynasty has been going on for a long time, and it should be almost over.

The Imperial Forest Army and many Ouchi guards are standing guard and patrolling outside, which makes the palace even more magnificent and majestic!

But many people know that the 100,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city, that is, the Imperial Forest Army, are just a handle in the hands of the prime minister, and the inner guards are only the subordinates of the great eunuch Chen Zhenghua!

And outside the imperial city, the bloodstained duke has at least 300,000 troops stationed not far from the imperial city, nominally, because of the last incident of the general manager Wei Zhongxian, who has not left, ostensibly to deter the restless people in the court, in fact, what the bloodstained man thinks in his heart, everyone knows!

Xia Xu and the great eunuch Chen Zhenghua came to the gate of the Jinluan Palace.

Naturally, the entrance is guarded by several generals on duty of the Royal Forest Army, and there are dozens of master Royal Forest Army guards under them, domineering!

"Gonggong Chen, who is this?" A general of the Royal Forest Army, very young, but not a character to be messed with at first glance!

"Hahaha, it turns out that today is the eldest prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion on duty, disrespectful and disrespectful!" The great eunuch Chen Zhenghua introduced Xia Xu while playing haha: "This is the son of Xu Feng, the prime minister of the dynasty, Xu Jingtao!"

Turning his head again, he said to Xu Jingtao: "Master Hou, this is the lord of the barren territory, and the new marquis, Xia Xu!"

Xu Jingtao snorted coldly, "It turned out to be a wilderness boy, why didn't you still salute when you saw General Ben? Don't think that you are a marquis, I am also a marquis, we can be equals?!"

Xia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then what should I do?"

"I am the deputy general of the 100,000 Imperial Forest Army, and I can bring 20,000 soldiers and horses without a tiger talisman!

Xia Xu smiled, "So I should salute you?"

"Of course. This is the capital, all the officials in the capital, when facing the officials and generals from other places, the flat land is one level higher, don't you understand this?"

"Oh, which law does this stipulate, you name it and I'll listen to it!" Xia Xu sneered, and asked the great eunuch Chen Zhenghua again: "Gonggong Chen, do you know?"

The great eunuch Chen Zhenghua smiled and said nothing, although he temporarily formed an alliance with Prime Minister Xu Feng, he could also watch the excitement at any time, after all, interests were the most important thing for him!

If this Xia Xu has a bad relationship with the prime minister, it is also a good thing!

But what happened next made the great eunuch Chen Zhenghua out of control!

"Which law doesn't matter! This is an unwritten rule! It's an unspoken rule! You, a hillbilly, have beaten away a few demon clans and occupied the Blood Feather Territory by despicable means, so you think you can ascend to the sky in one step? Let me tell you, there are no foreign officials and generals who don't salute me! But I don't want you to be the first either! Do you understand!"

Seeing what Xu Jingtao said, Xia Xu continued to sneer: "It seems that you are a very elegant person, then I will tell you why I don't salute!"

"First, you said that the officials of the Imperial City are one level higher than those of the same level, then let me ask you, I was canonized as the deputy marshal of the Eastern Sui State, and I am in charge of 200,000 soldiers and horses in the barren territory, is it ten times more than your 20,000!"

"Is it possible for my dignified deputy marshal to cut first and then play! Besides, even if you raise yourself by one level, you are only a leading general! How can you compare with my rank of deputy marshal! Even if you are the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army, you have to listen to me!"

Xu Jingtao's face flushed, he was usually used to being domineering, 'Where can I stand this?!'

At this moment, he held his breath, but he couldn't have a seizure, because Xia Xu spoke too loudly, and it had already reached the Jinluan Palace, and at this moment, the little eunuch had already run out of the Jinluan Palace, and scolded: "Presumptuous! The noise has affected the monarch's early dynasty!

The great eunuch Chen Zhenghua also just wanted to speak, but he didn't expect Xia Xu to say: "Xu Jingtao, you offended me, do you know what the fate of offending me is?"

Xu Jingtao sneered: "What? What do you dare to do to me? My father is the ...... of the court."

Before Xu Jingtao finished speaking, Xia Xu made a move!

The two are not far apart, and Xia Xu's shot is not at all something that a twenty-eight deputy general of the Xuanren Realm can resist!

It's not something anyone else can stop it in!

After all, Xia Xu is a person who has killed two demon kings!

Moreover, no one could have imagined that Xia Xu would dare to do it outside the Jinluan Palace!

Even the bloodstained duke, the duke Zonghu, the prime minister Xu Feng, and the nine-thousand-year-old Chen Zhenghua, they didn't dare to dare!

But Xia Xu dares!

Xia Xu made a decisive move!

Xia Xu was merciless!

Boxing Skills • Cold Snake!

It's such a simple move, a punch is punched, and it hits Xu Jingtao's face directly!

Xu Jingtao didn't even have time to scream, and fell directly to the ground!

It's so fast!

It all happened so fast!

It's so sudden!

It all happened so suddenly!

The great eunuch Chen Zhenghua was stunned.

The other lieutenant generals of the Royal Guards froze in place.

All the Kingsguard stood still.

All Ouchi guards were stunned!

A moment later.

"It's over, it's over......" The big eunuch Chen Zhenghua finally came back to his senses.

Swords!

The Imperial Forest Army and Ouchi guards surrounded them!

"Bold!"

"Presumptuous!"

"Look for death!"

The Guards are crazy!

Kill the court officials outside the Jinluan Palace!

Or the son of the prime minister!

It's so rampant!

It's rampant!

The Eastern Sui Kingdom has been built for hundreds of years, and there has never been such a crazy person!

This is not to take the Royal Guards in your eyes!

This is not to take the Ouchi guards in his eyes!

Ouchi guards, what a status!

The guards led by the Minister of the Guard, divided into first, second, third, and Lan Ling guards, are responsible for guarding the palace.

The guards of the emperor's daily attendants, called the imperial guards, the imperial front walkers, are responsible for protecting the emperor's personal safety.

The elite of the Beijing Division shared the task of guarding the capital, the imperial city, and the palace city!

Many of the emperor's imperial guards or close guards were selected from among the children of the clan who were adults and had martial arts.

Generally, most of the people who rose to prominence later were guards when they were young, and these guards were easy to wait for the emperor's trust and favor.

The Yulin Army is even stronger, they are not only capable, but also numerous!

The first to take the government soldiers more cavalry, foot shooting left and right Yulin army, the great court will be in charge of the guard rank Majesty, Xingxing is the internal war. Ninefold Xuanwu battle, long live the Yulin Army.

"Holding Ge to the side, it is not as good as the Yulin Army. ”

See "Feather Forest".

The Yulin Army, also known as the Yulin Guard, is the most famous and long-established emperor's forbidden army!

Set up the pro-army Governor's Mansion, command the center, left, right, front and rear five guards, and specialize in the defense of the imperial city. Hongwu six years to make guard gold medal, or gilded bronze medal, the card has the seal inscription "guard", "with the car" words, save Shang Bao Division, the sergeant on duty to receive the wear, the next duty to hand back.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the Jinyi Guard was built, and the 14th Division of the North and South Towns was set up, and its establishment of generals, wrestlers, and school captains were specially designed to escort the emperor, and there were military attachés and school captains whose names were: General Han Dynasty, and there were patrol and arrest tasks, that is, the Imperial Forest Army.

Period Gate and Yulin were both forbidden armies in the Han Dynasty.

Period gate, in charge of the military guard, because of the emperor's micro line, to be called "the gate of the palace of the period". When Emperor Ping changed his name to Tiger Ben, "if the tiger beast", it was said that it was brave and very strong in combat. Yulin, originally named "Jianzhang Camp Ride", named after the guard Jianzhang Palace, later changed to Yulin, taking its meaning of "for the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest".

Period Gate and Yulin are all Guangluxun. However, there is a difference in the timing of the two starts.

The time of the establishment of "Yulin" is consistent with the literature.

"Yulin palm sent from, the second phase of the door, Emperor Wu Taichu first year of the beginning of the first year. ”

"In the first year of Emperor Wu's reign, he first set up a chapter camp to ride, and later changed its name to Yulin. "These two materials record that Yulin was placed in the first year of Taichu, which is very clear.

However, when was the "period gate" first established? Or it was already in the time of Emperor Wen, or it was placed in the early years of Emperor Wu.

When Emperor Wen was called, there was a "period gate", which is contained in Ying Shao's "Customs and Customs", Liu Xiang said to Emperor Cheng:

"Emperor Wen's current politics is quite lost...... It is also a micro-line, and a number of fortunate families. Emperor Wen dressed on behalf of the people, wore a felt hat, rode a horse, and shot the fox rabbit from the waiter, the close minister, the regular waiter, the period gate, and the martial horse hunting gradually under the stage. "Taiping Yulan" volume 88 from the "customs and general meaning" said.

It is also believed that the period gate was built during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. It is doubtful that the "Emperor Wen" in the above quotation should be a mistake for "Emperor Wu".

Because it is shown that the "period gate" as a unique meaning did not begin in the time of Emperor Wen; At this point, it is impossible for Emperor Wen to "hunt the stage".

If the "period gate" recorded in Ying Shao's "Customs and General Principles" is equivalent to "tiger ben", then it already existed in the pre-Qin period.

For example, the "Shangshu Pastoral Oath" says: "There are 300 warrior kings and tigers."

"Under Chinese Lu":

"The Son of Heaven has a tiger and a martial arts training, and the princes have a brigade and a disaster ward. "And "Zhou Li, Xia Guan" is also known as "Tiger Ben's".

However, the tiger ben in the pre-Qin period is the same as the tiger ben in the Han Dynasty. Not only are their tasks and sources different, but in terms of time series, it is a matter of Emperor Ping's time to call the "period gate" "Tiger Ben".

Therefore, during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, there was neither a "period gate" nor a "tiger ben" with a unique meaning.

The intention of opening the period gate and Yulin has not been clearly explained.

For a long time, some scholars believe that the creation of the period gate and the feather forest is "to balance the strength of the northern and southern armies".

Because the Northern Army expanded the "Eight Captains" at that time, the Southern Army also set up the "Period Gate and Yulin Army".

This opinion reveals the merits of imperial control over military power, but its conclusions are still debatable.

Because: (1) Judging from the time when they were set up, it was not the "Eighth Captain" of the Northern Army that there was first, and then in order to balance the strength of the Southern Army, the "Period Gate" was expanded. History said: "Emperor Wu Ping Baiyue, seven schools added".

"And to the south of Guangdong...... Han Naifa Bashu sinners should attack the eight school captains of Nanyue" This shows that the establishment of the eight school captains should be after the first year of Yuan Hunt, not before the beginning of the third year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.

There is no room for ambiguity here, as there is a question of chronological sequence and causality. (2) At the beginning of Emperor Wu, the Han court already had a strong northern army, and if the forces were to be balanced, the southern army should not be reduced, but in fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cut half of the existing 20,000 guards.

Therefore, it is obviously incomplete to seek the answer only from the balance of forces between the northern and southern armies.

(3) The inclusion of the period gate and Yulin of the Langwei system in the southern army not only blurs the three major components of the army directly under the central government, but also ignores the independent status of the palace forbidden army, which is obviously inconsistent with history.

Therefore, on the whole, it is difficult to agree with the argument that the addition of Period Gate and Yulin is to balance the strength of the northern and southern armies.

At the same time, due to the complicated social problems and ethnic contradictions at that time, the long-term use of troops abroad, and the emptiness of internal defense, Emperor Wu took measures to strengthen the personal guard in the process of reforming the military system.

As we all know, from the Qin Dynasty to the early Han Dynasty, the emperor's personal guards, namely Lang Zhongling and his subordinate officials, were basically civil officials and did not become a guard force in the true sense. Due to the weakness of Lang Wei's strength, the defense of the imperial palace and the capital division at that time mainly relied on the southern and northern armies. By the time of Emperor Wu, with the resignation of the Taiwei, especially the need to strengthen the imperial power, the strength of Lang Wei was even weaker than that of the southern and northern armies. In order to change this status quo, the "Lang Zhongling" was renamed "Guangluxun", the Lang Wei post was expanded, and the period gate and Yulin Army were added under Guangluxun. In this way, on the one hand, it will enable the Lang Wei to form a three-point confrontation with the southern and northern armies, and use it to contain the southern and northern armies; on the other hand, it will also help to show each other and strengthen the reliability and insurance coefficient of the personal guards.

Qian Wenzi's "Supplement to the Soldiers of the Han Dynasty" said: "The Han Dynasty used the good families of the six counties to supplement the Yulin and the period gate, and built the Sanfu Garden Mausoleum to cover the domain, so they took their children to prepare for the guard." And he said yes.

"Historical Records: Book of Heavenly Officials" said: "Beigong Xuanwu is in danger...... There are stars in the south, called Yulin Heavenly Army. ”

"Justice": "Forty-five stars in the feather forest, gathered in three or three, scattered in the south of the base, and the heavenly army is also." ”

"Jin Shu Astronomical Chronicles" cloud: "Wu (Tiger) Ben is a star, and he is also a cavalry official in the south quiet room of Dawei Xifanbei. ”

At that time, the star names of Huben and Yulin were used to symbolize the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, which not only reflected the psychological state of Emperor Wu who turned to the stars and the blessing of Tianwei to increase his sense of security, but also reflected the elite and reliability of the Qimen and Yulin armies. The so-called "disease like a feather" and "wings for the king".

This shows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty strengthened the strength of the forbidden army in the palace, which was a product of the development of the political and economic situation at that time, and it was also a major measure of military reform.

Yulin, originally named "Jianzhang Camp Ride", named after the guard Jianzhang Palace, later changed to Yulin, taking its meaning of "for the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest".

"Book of Han" said: "In the first year of Emperor Wu's Taichu, he first set up a chapter camp to ride, and later changed its name to Yulin Ride, which belonged to Guangluxun. He also took the children and grandchildren who died in the army, raised the Yulin officer, taught the five soldiers, and called the Yulin orphans. ”

In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "I am afraid that the power of the lieutenant is too heavy, and he placed Yulin and Period Gate in Guangluxun, and then the momentum of the two armies in the north and south began to be equal."

In other words, "Yulin" was a Praetorian Guard subordinate to "Guangluxun", and scholars mostly believe that Hanzhi's "Yulin" belonged to the "Southern Army", but some scholars disagree. Guarding the Jianzhang Palace, it is called the Jianzhang Camp Ride. Later, it was renamed Yulin Ride.

Set up a feather forest supervisor and send it to you.

During the Western Han Dynasty, there were about 2,000 Yulin riders and Yulin orphans, who served as the emperor's guards and honor guards. Yulin and Qimen have a higher status than other troops, and the soldiers are all professional soldiers and noble soldiers.

The name "Southern Army" no longer exists, but "Guangluxun" and "Weiwei" still exist. "Guangluxun" has seven departments, two of which are:

There are 128 "Yulin Lang" under the Yulin Zhonglang general, who are the emperor's attendants, and 800 Yulin left horsemen and 900 Yulin right horsemen under the left and right supervisors of Yulin serve as the attendants of the guards and the "chariot riders".

There are three main sources of Habayashi Lang:

(1) Selected good citizens from the six counties and the three auxiliary regions.

(2) Chosen from the children and grandchildren of the dead in the army.

(3) Selected from those who have made meritorious contributions to the war.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Records of Hundred Officials" said: "Yu Linlang, the attendant of the guard, often chooses the six counties of Hanyang, Longxi, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, and Xihe to make up for it. ”

In the past dynasties, Yulin Supervisor was set up, and the Wei and Western Jin Dynasty led the battalion soldiers, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty had no battalion soldiers. Southern Dynasty because of it.

The Northern Dynasty Wei and Qi had Yulin Supervisors, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty Sima belonged to the left and right Yulin rates. Details are not yet available.

In the early years of Emperor Wen's reign, the official system was reformed, and the Ministry of War was established as the highest organ in charge of the country's military administration.

The Ministry of War is subordinate to Shangshu Province, and one person is the head of the Ministry of War, and there are four divisions of the Ministry of War, the staff, the driving department, and the Treasury Department, each with two waiters to manage the military affairs of the division. It also created 12 guards, namely the left and right guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right Wuhou mansions, the left and right leading left and right mansions, the left and right prison gate mansions, and the left and right leading army mansions, which are the highest institutions that command the national army.

Each guard house has a general, and the two generals are the chief and deputy governors, and they have a number of fat and chariot mansions under their jurisdiction. In addition, there are ten rates of the prince's east palace, that is, the left and right guard rate, the left and right sect guard rate, the left and right Yuhou rate, the left and right internal rate, and the left and right prison gate rate, which are in charge of the East Palace and the guards, and are divided into some government soldiers.

In the third year of Emperor Yang's great cause, he changed the 12th Weifu to the 16th Weifu, and redefined the title of Weifu as:

The left and right Yu Guards, the left and right Xiao Guards, the Left and Right Wu Guards, the Left and Right Tun Guards, the Left and Right Imperial Guards, the Left and Right Hou Guards, the Left and Right Reserve Mansions, and the Left and Right Prison Gates, their officials and responsibilities are roughly the same as before.

In addition to the government soldiers, the central army also has forbidden soldiers, Xiaoguo, etc.

The forbidden soldiers are the personal soldiers who specialize in the guards, and they are divided into internal guards and outer guards. The left and right guards, most of the guards under the left and right commands, and the Qizi guards under the command of the left and right Wuhou mansions, belong to the internal guards, and the rest of the forbidden soldiers are the outer guards.

The internal and external guards and the internal and external military soldiers of the Fanshang Guards restrain each other and jointly protect the safety of the palace and the capital division.

Xiaoguo is the army of the people recruited by Emperor Yang, and it is subordinate to the left and right reserve houses of the soldiers of the ununified government.
