Yuan Zhao Tianzi's expression was resolute, and his face was serious.

"The three guards are all in my hands, and the capital can't be turbulent, no matter what, this battle can't be fought."

The internal guard has always been taken care of by Xiao, Xiao is the great eunuch of the inner court, and he is also the emperor's right and left hand, so the internal guard is in the hands of Yuan Zhao Tianzi.

The rest of the Qianniu Wei and Yulin Wei are all taken care of by the Xie family, these two guards are one of the most important armed forces in the capital, others such as Jin Wuwei, the City Patrol Division, the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses, as well as the soldiers and horses of the city gates, the mansions of Jingzhao Mansion, etc., together are not the opponents of the three guards, not to mention that in these yamen, there are also people who respect the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven is abolished, they are unlikely to move.

But even so, this move still has to take a certain degree of risk, after all, there is more than one heir of Taikang Tianzi, and the prince born by the Ye family's concubine, as well as the prince born by the imperial concubine of the seed family, all because of their young age, they did not leave Beijing to become a vassal, if someone with a heart takes this opportunity to make trouble, then the imperial power is really unstable.

Originally, in the early days of the new emperor's accession to the throne, everything was required to be stable and ensure the smooth delivery of imperial power, and this process generally took two to three years before the emperor could completely take over the government.

Even when Taikang Tianzi first ascended the throne, when facing Pei Jin and Prime Minister Zhang Qu, it was with the help of Li Xin that he controlled the forbidden army in the shortest possible time, thus securing the throne.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi decided to do this, on the one hand, because he was young after all, and he did not know the danger very well, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to conquer the southwest at this time.

Ji Lin lowered his head and sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's meaning, the minister has already understood, if you really want to discuss it in the court, the minister must fight for it." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will always be on His Majesty's side."

After all, Yuan Zhao Tianzi was only fourteen years old, and his words were reasonable, but he was a little scared in his heart, and after taking a few deep breaths according to the method taught by Li Xin, he said: "It's good that the Metropolitan Governor has this heart, and in this case, the Metropolitan Governor will go back to prepare first, and I still want to see someone." ”

Ji Lin got up and took his leave.

"The minister retired."

Not long after the governor left Weiyang Palace, a tall and stout man, under the leadership of the eunuch Xiao Huai, entered Weiyang Palace.

"Marquis Jingde, knock to see Your Majesty!"

As one of the three heroes of the Taikang Dynasty, Hou Jingde looks inconspicuous on the surface, but in fact he has quietly been in charge of the left battalion of the forbidden army for many years, although he is not as good as Li Xin in terms of status, but in terms of authority and Li Xin is actually not much different, compared to Ye Lu Ye Sishao, who has just been promoted to Shangshu in the Ministry of War, it is better to mix.

As early as in the early years of Taikang, when Hou Jingde was just transferred to the forbidden army, Li Xin told him that he should concentrate on the forbidden army, and don't think about meddling in the affairs of the court.

The Forbidden Army's Zuo Battalion was only thirty or forty miles away from the capital, but he sometimes did not return to Beijing for several months.

Therefore, although this loyal and brave marquis is not visible in the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, his real power is already one of the top people in the Great Jin military after Pei Jin went into the wilderness, except for the Metropolitan Governor Ji Lin and Li Xin, that is, he Hou Jingde.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi was extremely enthusiastic about Hou Jingde.

He personally helped Hou Jingde up, with a smile on his face.

"General Hou came all the way from outside the city, and it was hard work."

The forbidden army is one of the most powerful forces in defending the capital, and it is also a sword in the hands of the Son of Heaven, otherwise Taikang Tianzi would not have handed over half of the forbidden army to Li Xin during his lifetime, and asked him to help support his crown prince to sit in a stable position.

Now that Li Xin is not in the capital, the right camp of the forbidden army is in charge of He Song, so the only thing that Yuan Zhao Tianzi can rely on is the left camp of the forbidden army.

Because in the early years of Taikang, the right battalion of the forbidden army won a complete victory in the southwest, and many generals in the right battalion were promoted and made a fortune, which was quite beautiful, and the left battalion, which was also a forbidden army, was a little silent over the years, and there was no sound in its duty, but in fact, the court of the Great Jin Dynasty respected the left, and the elite degree of the left battalion was even better than that of the right battalion.

Hou Jingde was tall, compared to the still a little thin Yuan Zhao Tianzi, like a giant, he stood up with the support of the Son of Heaven, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is calling, and the ministers are not hard." ”

Taikang Tianzi said with a smile: "General Hou should know about Taifu Li's return to his hometown to worship his mother?" ”

Hou Jingde hesitated, lowered his head and said angrily: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has heard about it." ”

It has been more than two months since Li Xin returned to his hometown, and it would be a little unrealistic for Hou Jingde to say that he didn't know at this time.

The Son of Heaven nodded and said: "When I first ascended the throne, I am afraid that there will be villains in the capital, what I mean is that the forbidden army sent a few Zhichong Mansion to lean on the capital. ”

"Taifu is not in the capital, and the right camp of the forbidden army is not easy to move for the time being, so I can only use the right camp of the forbidden army of General Hou."

The distance of thirty or forty miles is not far, but it is not close to say that it is near, when the Renchen Palace changed, the Wei Wangfu was almost midnight, and then the forbidden army received the news to enter the king of Jingqin, and when they arrived at the imperial city, it was already the morning of the next day, and the dust had settled in the capital.

It is precisely for this reason that Yuan Zhao Tianzi will think of mobilizing the forbidden army and moving closer to the capital.

Hou Jingde's expression changed slightly, he looked up at the little emperor in front of him, and asked with some hesitation: "Your Majesty...... Is there something going on in the capital? ”

"Do you need the forbidden army to enter the city and take over the city defense?"

The Son of Heaven shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, just in case of contingencies, General Hou will move closer to the capital for twenty miles according to what I said." ”

Hou Jingde bowed his head deeply.

"Your Majesty, there is no court document, and it is a capital offense for the minister to mobilize the forbidden army without authorization, and the minister needs the documents of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to become a ......"

In fact, in addition to the documents of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, the holy decree of the imperial court, and even the emperor's decree, can mobilize the forbidden army, but now that the Son of Heaven is still young and has never been in power, he can't issue a central decree without going through Shangshutai.

"Don't worry."

Yuan Zhao Tianzi said with a smile: "Over there in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, I have said hello, General Hou and the others will go out from the Yang Palace, and go to the Dadu Governor's Mansion to find the Dadu Governor." ”

Although the procedure was not quite right, but the emperor had already said such things, Hou Jingde naturally didn't dare to say anything, he bowed his head respectfully: "Minister, take the order!" ”

The Son of Heaven said a few words of encouragement to Hou Jingde before letting the big man leave Weiyang Palace, and the Son of Heaven even sent him to the door of the study in person.

Standing at the door of the study, Yuan Zhao Tianzi looked at the back of Hou Jingde leaving, and there was a feeling of remorse in his heart for no reason.

"If Master Li is in the capital, he should be able to arrange all this, and there is no need for me, a young man, to intrigue with them......

Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven looked at the south and sighed faintly.

"But, teacher, you scare me more than they do......"
