Chapter 343: The Forbidden Army
On April 23, Lu Bu officially entered the palace as the general of Yulin Zhonglang.
Before dawn, Lu Bu had already changed into a red military attache uniform, with a sword at his waist, shoes on, a martial crown, and a double crane tail on the crown.
Out of the mansion gate, Chen Wei held the lamp and carried a lantern to illuminate it beside him.
Lu Bu's mansion was on the street north of Luoyang, and he had to go to Nangong every day on duty, which meant walking through the entire city of Luoyang.
Before going to Nangong, Lu Bu first went to the Taiwei Mansion.
The Han Dynasty adopted the system of three princes and nine secretaries administratively, and the Taiwei was subordinate to Taichangqing, Guangluxun, and Weiwei.
Situ Ling: Tingwei, Taifu, Dahonglu.
Sikong Ling: Shaofu, Zongzheng, Dasi Nong.
Lu Bu, as the general of Yulin, is not qualified to participate in the politics of the dynasty. But as Guangluxun's subordinate officer, he is a new one, so he should go to Guangluxun first and learn about the affairs to be done in the near future.
When I arrived at the Taiwei Mansion, there were really a lot of officials inside, and they all sat in their respective positions, each performing their own duties and handling the corresponding government affairs.
Nine percent of the twists and turns submitted by the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are handled and approved by the officials in the Three Princes' Mansions, and only when there is a major event, or when they are not sure, they will report to the Son of Heaven and ask the Son of Heaven to decide.
Lu Bu went to Guangluxun to report that Ding Gong, who was Guangluxun at the time, was instructing several subordinate officials to do things, and judging from the tone and complexion of his voice, he seemed to be quite angry.
However, when he heard Lu Bu's name, he immediately suspended the order in front of him, turned to look at the tall young man in military attache uniform, showed a happy smile on his face, and greeted him kindly: "It's General Zhonglang, this official has long been like thunder to your name, and he hates not to see it, and now he can see the majesty of General Zhonglang, which is really the posture of a god!" ”
Ding Gong's fierce praise made Lu Bu stagnate a little in place, obviously he was his subordinate, why did he make himself like his chief?
Is Ding Gong his boss, or is he his boss?
Lu Bu, who came back to his senses, arched his hand and said: "Guanglu Xun praises falsely, Bu is just a puppet, how can he deserve such praise." ”
The two greeted each other here, and this seemingly ordinary behavior fell into the eyes of others, but it became different.
The power of relatives and eunuchs is disputed, and no one in the government and the opposition knows about it. Although Ding Gong did not clearly take sides, judging from his daily behavior, it was obvious that he was more inclined to the eunuch group.
Now that he is so kind to Lu Bu, it seems that this surnamed Lu should also be under the banner of eunuchs. Otherwise, how could he be appreciated by His Majesty and promoted to such an important position as General Yubayashi Zhonglang.
The officials who did not deal with the ten permanent servants despised them in their hearts, and they had already beaten Lu Bu into the eunuch's accomplices.
When he entered the palace that day, others didn't know the inside story, but Ding Gong knew it clearly.
What does Guangluxun do?
All the affairs in the palace of the Commander-in-Chief are many officials and huge institutions, and none of the troubles in the palace can be hidden from him.
His Majesty summoned Lu Bu from Biansai to Luoyang thousands of miles away, and also gave him an official residence, and named Zhonglang General, such a favor is rare in recent years.
Ding Gong is a figure who can see the situation clearly, and others say that he does things for the eunuchs. But in fact, only he knows that he is still a certain distance away from Zhang Rang and others.
He doesn't have that kind of desperate mentality, he wants to leave room for everything, just like his position, no matter which side wins in the future, he can survive.
If he is optimistic about Lu Bu today, he will naturally have to make friends, not to mention where Lu Bu can go in the future, whether he is rich and noble, or he has no place to live. Giving him a good attitude in the immediate future is not a bad thing in the long run.
There are probably only two things to do in the day-to-day duties of General Habayashi. Either accompany the emperor and stay outside the guard hall, or go to the camp to train Yulin Erlang.
"General Zhonglang, have you ever been to the Yulin camp?" Ding Gong asked out loud.
Lu Bu shook his head, and couldn't help but wonder a little: "Isn't the Yulin Army in the palace?" ”
When Ding Gong heard this, he knew that Lu Bu didn't understand the reason, and explained to him with a smile: "Zhonglang will be a newcomer, and it's normal not to understand." Although the Yulin Army was a royal forbidden army, it did not set up camp in the palace, but was stationed under the city wall in the south of the palace. ”
Subsequently, Ding Gong also patiently told Lu Bu about the situation of the army in Luoyang City.
In addition to the two royal forbidden armies of Huben and Yulin under the leadership of Guanglu Xun, there are also two other forbidden armies in the north and south of Luoyang.
The southern army was led by one of the Nine Emperors, the Captain of the Guard, who was mainly responsible for guarding the two palaces. Outside the palace, the northern army was in charge, such as guarding the city gates, patrolling the city, and suppressing the turmoil in the city.
In addition, in the northern suburbs of Luoyang, there are also five school battalions, including tun cavalry, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, and shooting, which are also subordinate to the Northern Army.
To put it more simply, Guangluxun is responsible for protecting the safety of the Son of Heaven and the harem concubines, while the guard is responsible for taking charge of the palace gates, guarding the palace, and patrolling the palace day and night.
Zhijingo is to protect the capital division and maintain the stability of the city.
The responsibilities of the three parties are different, but they are all subject to the restraint of General Wei.
Listening to Ding Gong talk so carefully, Lu Bu could be regarded as understanding.
Ding Gong meant that Lu Bu should go to the camp first to familiarize himself with it, so that he could understand the daily process of General Zhonglang.
When Lu Bu first arrived, everything was based on learning and asking for advice, and his boss asked him to go to the camp to inspect, so he went to the camp first.
The garrison of the Yulin Army was located outside the Nangong City Wall, and before he entered it, he saw the wide school field and the neatly arranged camp tents. Unlike when he was encamped on the march, the tents here were all lined up in close together, and they were located in an orderly manner.
The Yu Lin guards who were standing guard saw Lu Bu coming, and although the tall young man looked particularly young, they could easily recognize the identity of the comer, and they saluted and shouted, "I've seen the general!" ”
Lu Bu nodded slightly in response.
These standing guard feather forest guards held halberds in their hands, were dressed in fine armor, and the top of the helmet on their heads was inserted with long white feathers, and they all looked heroic.
In the end, it is the royal army, and the leaders are full of momentum.
Lu Bu sighed in his heart, the equipment of the wolf cavalry camp is not bad, but it is still a lot worse than the Yulin army. One day, if the wolf cavalry camp can have such a style, those Xianbei people and Huns will not be frightened to flee three thousand away.
Lu Bu walked into the camp, and the sky at this time had just revealed the slight whiteness of the fish belly.
The soldiers of the Yulin Army walked out of the camp tent one by one, and after wearing their clothes and armor, they began to set up a formation in the school field and conduct training.
Lu Bu did not rush over, but sat far away, deciding to take a look at the strength of this royal forbidden army first.
