Chapter 267: Holding the Sword for the Son of Heaven

The forces in the capital are the two guards of Yulin Wei and Neiwei, but the two guards together are about 6,500 people, and the biggest responsibility of the people of the two guards is to maintain the royal family, and they are not even responsible for the security of the capital.

The security of the capital is in charge of the inspection department, Jingzhao Mansion and Jin Wuwei.

That is to say, these people are only responsible for the interior of the capital, but in a huge dynasty, it is far from enough to have only these people, and it is the forbidden army near Gyeonggi that really guards the capital and the Son of Heaven

Yu Linwei and Neiwei both belong to the category of the forbidden army, but they are only a small part of the forbidden army, and the entire forbidden army together exceeds 300,000 people

Not all of these forbidden troops were stationed near the capital, and some would be sent by the Son of Heaven to various places in the Great Jin Dynasty, either to garrison, or to carry out tasks, or to exchange guards with the border army, etc.

In the entire Great Jin Dynasty, there are only three armies of the Seed Family Army, as well as the Zhenbei Army of Jimen Pass and the Pingnan Army of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, which will not change guards with the forbidden army, and are always firmly in the hands of the three families.

Of the more than 300,000 forbidden troops, half of them were stationed in the Gyeonggi area.

These forbidden troops are the confidence of the Son of Chengde in the court, and they are also the foundation for him to sit firmly in the world.

The forbidden army is generally stationed in the Gyeonggi area, which is a day or two away from the capital, and this army is different from the border army Tiangao Emperor Yuan, they are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so the military power of the forbidden army has been firmly grasped by the Son of Heaven in the hands of successive dynasties.

The two guards in the capital are just the armor of the Son of Heaven, and these forbidden troops guarding in Gyeonggi are the swords in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and they are also the reason why the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven.

Chong Xuantong knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the Chong family has always only been in charge of the border army, and I don't dare to have the idea of getting involved in the forbidden army."

"If you want to get involved, I won't agree."

The Son of Heaven smiled faintly: "It's just for you to lead it temporarily, the capital is about to change, and the forbidden army is still managed by Pei Saburo alone, I don't feel at ease." ”

Pei Sanlang in the mouth of the Son of Heaven is now the general of the forbidden army Pei Jin, this general Pei was born in the Ministry of Industry in his early years, and was later appreciated by the Son of Heaven, and was promoted into the army by the exception, and then introduced by the Son of Heaven, worshiped under Chen Guogong Ye Sheng's door to learn the war book battle array, and after nearly ten years of training in the Northern Army of Northern Xinjiang Town, he was transferred back to Beijing by the Son of Heaven, and became the general of the forbidden army in the thirteenth year of Chengde, officially holding the sword for the Son of Heaven.

Pei Jin has become today's general from a lowly status, and he was almost single-handedly promoted by the Son of Heaven, so he deserves to become a diehard loyalist of the Son of Heaven.

If you are not loyal to the Son of Heaven, you can't hold the sword for the Son of Heaven.

Now, the Son of Heaven in Chengde can't believe in his diehard loyalty.

Chong Xuantong fell to the ground and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty's dragon body, is it like this?"

The Son of Heaven looked indifferent: "It's not that exaggerated, you can still live for a while longer, and I summoned you to Beijing just in case." ”

Chong Xuantong wept and said: "The old minister is grateful for His Majesty's trust, and is willing to use this body to take charge of the forbidden army for His Majesty."

The Son of Heaven nodded sullenly: "I have already given Shang Shutai a note, the process of the military department will be completed in a few days, you and Pei Saburo will each take charge of half of the forbidden army, and then move closer to the capital, there are two generals to defend the capital, I can sit back and relax." ”

Chong Xuantong said sadly: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, it is important to raise the dragon body, maybe in a few days, Your Majesty's body will be fine." ”

When he was first assassinated, the resentment in the heart of the emperor of Chengde poured out the water of the three rivers, and it may not be able to be washed clean, so there was the fact that Li Chun and others were killed one after another, but now more than a month has passed, and time has calmed down the son of heaven.

"Can you look good at God, I don't force it."

Said: "But before we listen to the destiny of heaven, we still have to do our best."

Chong Xuantong kowtowed: "I am willing to die for Your Majesty"

"I don't need you to die."

The Son of Heaven asked lightly: "If you leave the northern frontier, there will be no big problem on the side of Yunzhou City."

Chong Xuantong shook his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there has been no military incident in Yunzhou City for thirty years, and there are more than a thousand people in my family watching in Yunzhou City, and nothing will happen." ”

"That's fine."

The Son of Heaven stood up, walked in front of Chong Xuantong, helped the old general up, took his hand, and said slowly: "The general is also old, I shouldn't have called you back thousands of miles away. ”

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven shook his head and sighed: "It's just that there is really no one around me who is available, and the farmer has been with my Ji family for more than a hundred years, so I have to work again to cultivate the family." ”

This sentence is a word that catches people's hearts.

However, the Xuan Tong was obviously very useful, and his gray head hung down deeply.

"The farmer will never live up to the Great Jin, and the old minister will never live up to Your Majesty"

The Son of Heaven patted Xuantong on the shoulder and coughed: "The old general has been tired all the way, and he was called into the palace by me before he could rest, and he must be tired, so let's go back to the house to rest." ”

His Majesty the Emperor, who has been in charge of the government for twenty years, had a smile on his face: "Wait a few days, the old general will have enough spirits, and then enter the palace again, and I will have a good chat with the old general." ”

Chong Xuantong took a few steps back and knelt on the ground again.

"Your Majesty takes care of the dragon's body, and the minister will not disturb Your Majesty's rest."

The Son of Heaven nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Chen Ju, send a kind of old general on behalf of me." ”

The big eunuch bent over and sent Chong Xuantong all the way to Yong'an Gate, the big eunuch also felt a little emotional, walked behind Chong Xuantong and whispered: "Chong Shuai, Your Majesty was killed like this, so that he couldn't take care of the court, Chong Shuai is the pillar of the country, at this time, I hope that Chong Shuai will pay attention to His Majesty's painstaking efforts." ”

The old general bowed his head slightly: "Gonggong Chen, don't worry, the old man will take care of it." ”

"If the prince does something rebellious, the old man will be the first to pass here."

Chen Ju bowed his head respectfully: "There is a kind of handsome sentence, Your Majesty can feel at ease." ”

The two of them said goodbye, Chen Ju turned around and went back to Yongle Palace, and when he walked into the warm hall, he saw His Majesty holding a hand warmer, sitting on the edge of a low table, staring at the low table in a daze.

"Your Majesty, do you want to rest for a while?"

The Son of Heaven woke up from his trances in shock by this sentence, but he was not angry, just pointed to the other side of the low table and coughed: "You are sitting here." ”

Chen Ju hesitated for a moment and sat opposite the Son of Heaven in a proper manner.

The Son of Heaven of Chengde was still staring at the low table, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face: "Chen Ju, who should I appoint among the four princes in the capital?"

Chen Ju's forehead was covered with sweat, and he immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, where is this kind of country-based matter that a crippled person like a slave or maid can discuss?"

The Son of Heaven smiled and said softly, "You don't need to be afraid, I have already made a prince." ”

"You sit up and talk."

Chen Juzhan sat back on the opposite side of the low table tremblingly.

"Guess who I am"

Chen Ju said in a trembling voice: "The slave doesn't dare to guess. ”

The Son of Heaven was in a rare mood and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you guess, although I have established the crown prince, I have also left a chance for the other three people." ”

The Son of Heaven was at the low table, gesturing and muttering to himself.

"Pei Jin."

"Seed a mystery."

The Son of Heaven used tea to write the names of the two people on the low table, hesitated, and wrote Li Xin's name again.

"Li Xin and Hou Jingde are tied together, and they can barely be regarded as half."

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven glanced up at Chen Ju and smiled: "You can also be regarded as one." ”

"These people are all men with soldiers in their hands."

"If the three of you have the ability to move these people, what if you abolish the crown prince for you?"

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven's face was a little hideous.

"In order to choose a new monarch who has the ability to rule the world, what is the point of dying some people in the capital?"
