230 [The present is not what it used to be]
There is no airtight wall in Kyoto.
The conversation between the emperor and his ministers in the Liangyi Palace reached the ears of some important ministers the next day, and then began to spread at an extremely fast speed. This was not someone who could peer into the palace with his hands and eyes, but it was actually a message conveyed to the outside world with Emperor Kaiping's tacit permission. For
He didn't mind outsiders knowing some of the less important secrets. This was to prevent the isolation between China and the outside world and prevent people in the capital from panic.
For most of the nobles in the capital, although the title of deputy imperial envoy was noble, it was not something they would envy. At most, it was just a matter of saying that the Pei family's children were lucky and making a honeycomb to win the emperor's favor.
What really made them feel confused was what the emperor called the Zangfeng Guard. There may not be much meaning in this name alone, but as long as you think of the emperor's words "set up another guard in addition to the Forbidden Army", you can probably figure out the future.
The special status of Tibetan front guards.
This guard does not belong to the Forbidden Army, and the Kyoto garrison division has nothing to do with the Kyoto camp and is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor. This shows that this army that was born out of the blue without the planning of the Xifu will become a very special part of the Liang Army. This move is just like the whim of Gaozu.
Come out too
Shitai Pavilion eventually became the most powerful yamen in Daliang. It is obvious that Zangfengwei had an extraordinary status from the beginning of its birth. It was a level higher than the three major battalions of the Beijing Army. If not for this, Emperor Kaiping would not let Pei
The more he went to the capital camp to select the generals of the capital.
At present, the Tibetan Front Guard is only a prototype. According to the emperor's wishes, there are only 500 people in the capital. But who can be sure whether these 500 people will be the skeleton of the entire army in the future?
Big figures in the military, such as Cheng'an Hou Lu Min, Cheng Yi Hou Guo Kaishan and the three coaches of Jingying, could not bring themselves to look for Pei Yue, and at the same time they did not take the matter too seriously. The eight characters have not yet been written,
It's hard to say whether Pei Yue can put up this stand. Even if he can really strengthen the Tibetan Front Guard according to Emperor Kaiping's wishes, these big shots will have enough confidence to pick peaches when the time comes.
As for those princes whose mansions have declined, as well as ordinary nobles who are far away from the military center and want to shine, of course they will not have such sweet dreams to replace them. They just want to take this opportunity to let the direct descendants of the family enter the Zangfeng Guard. Even if they can't get it.
For those five sentry positions, even an ordinary infantryman has a chance.
In everything, one must seize the opportunity; a foot soldier today is better than a sentry in the future.
The nobles who had congratulated Pei Yue half a month ago were overjoyed. Since they had contacts before, it was a matter of course for them to come and ask for a place. Those families who ignored Pei Yue's move were very upset and reluctant to part with this very precious person in front of them.
Given the opportunity, I had to prepare generous gifts and go to Zhongshanzi Mansion.
Don't blame them for being impatient, because time is very tight and Pei Yue will leave Beijing in a few days.
In front of the gate of Zhongshanzi Mansion in Yongrenfang, carriages from various houses were connected to each other, filling most of the street. In the past, the fallen nobles who always put on airs and wanted to imitate the majesty of their ancestors looked anxious and did not even bother to say hello.
I just wonder why the person in front doesn't move at all.
Deng Ming, the new butler of the front yard of Pei Mansion, stood in front of the black oil gate and bowed to these warriors, letting them make noise. The middle-aged man, who was nearly forty years old, only said that the young master went out early in the morning and did not know where he was going.
at.
Deng Mingnai is Deng Zai's father. He is smart and open-minded, which is in sharp contrast to his son's character.
In the main hall of the mansion, Ye Qi looked helplessly at Tao Hua, who was giggling non-stop, and deliberately threatened her: "If you laugh again, I will let you deal with those people."
The smile on Taohua's face immediately froze, she shook her head vigorously and said, "Girl, I don't know how."
Ye Qi couldn't help but chuckle and said with emotion: "It's a pity that your young master can't see such a lively scene. He has been working hard for so long and finally made a name for himself in Kyoto."
Her expression was extremely gentle, and she chanted softly: "The Qingchuan River is long and thin, the carriages and horses go leisurely. The water flows as intended, and the birds return to each other at dusk."
Taohua said with envy: "It turns out that the girl can also recite poetry."
Ye Qi said leisurely: "Reciting poetry is better than killing people. I'm curious if Mr. Li really wants to kill people now."
…
In the commander's tent at the South Camp of the Beijing Army, Pei Yue sat with a calm face, not caring at all about the cold and stern gaze of the middle-aged man on the commander's seat.
There was a time when Pei Yue was not even qualified to sit down in front of him.
At that time, he was the prestigious first-class Marquis of Fengcheng, the future Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, a frequent visitor to the Liangyi Palace, and the arm of two military commanders in the Xifu. The young man in front of him was just a bastard in a difficult situation, living a precarious life.
.
Now he is the commander-in-chief of the South Camp of the Beijing Army. It seems that he still holds the power, but he is far away from the center. Most of his soldiers are brave men brought by Gu Liang. He has not subdued these people for more than a year. He does not know how to provoke them.
How much ridicule comes.
Pei Yue rose rapidly and not only became famous in Kyoto, he was also entrusted with important tasks by Emperor Kaiping, transforming himself into the most famous young dignitary in the capital.
How could Li Pingzhong not hate this?
What's more, his eldest grandson Li Zijun is still in exile in the west, his son-in-law Pei Rong is imprisoned in Shanglin Prison, and his eldest daughter Li is imprisoned in Dingguo Mansion and is not allowed to go out. All of these are thanks to Pei Yue.
Ye Qi's guess was very accurate. Li Bingzhong really wanted to kill someone at this moment. It was a pity that he was not Gu Liang and did not have the bloody courage, especially since Pei Yue came with the imperial edict today.
Emperor Kaiping ordered Pei Yue to select soldiers in the Beijing camp, and of course he would come to the Nan camp.
The enemy was extremely jealous when they met each other. After receiving the order, Li Bingzhong took a long time to calm down and said in a cold voice: "Commander Wei will negotiate with you about this matter. I have important matters to deal with."
After saying that, he carried the imperial edict and left the commander's tent.
Pei Yue laughed softly a few times.
Li Bingzhong's steps hesitated, then he snorted heavily and left with a puff of his sleeves.
Wei Xiao, the commander of the Longxiang Guard who was standing aside, waited for Li Yinzhong to leave, then walked slowly to Pei Yue, looked him up and down, then reached out and patted his shoulder, and sincerely praised: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a year."
There is such a blessing!"
Acquaintances are naturally cordial when meeting each other. Looking at the smiling face of the cavalry commander, Pei Yue suddenly felt as if he was in another world. He joked softly: "Brother Wei, why didn't Uncle Gu take you to the south?"
This big brother's voice made Wei Xiao feel extremely comfortable. He shook his head and sighed: "The commander is partial to Li Jin's piece of wood. The four commanders only took him away, and even took the entire Yanshan Guard to the south to show their faces. Brother feels uncomfortable.
"
Pei Yue smiled briskly when he heard this. Now three of the four commanders of the South Camp are Gu Liang's favorite generals. The newly formed infantry army who returned from the frontier army is not Li Bingzhong's confidant. No wonder the Fengcheng Marquis looks so ugly.
, isn’t this just an empty-headed general? If he wants to make all these four guards and 50,000 people his own, I’m afraid he won’t be able to do it in his next life.
Seeing that the depression on Wei Xiao's face didn't look like he was faking it, Pei Yue comforted him and said: "The Beijing army only has three cavalry guards. Uncle Gu will definitely not trust others to take such an important position. It has to be controlled by Brother Wei."
You have to live up to the scene."
Wei Xiao was startled for a moment, then he said with a hearty smile: "That makes sense. Let's go, I will take you to see the brave soldiers that my brother has prepared for you. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed."
Pei Yue said in surprise: "Brother Wei actually has the ability to predict the future?"
Wei Xiao laughed and scolded: "Shit, you don't have to keep pouring me the ecstasy soup. Your Majesty ordered someone to come and say hello in advance, otherwise Old Man Li wouldn't be so easy to talk to."
