Coincidentally, the guard of Danfeng Gate today is none other than Qin Mubai's eldest brother Qin Tong. He is the fifth-rank Zhonglang General of the Zuojian Gate Guard, that is, the gatekeeper who guards the palace gate. Don't underestimate this.
A small city gatekeeper, although his position is small and his authority is not great, it is a matter of great interest to the emperor's survival. When Li Shimin was involved in the Xuanwumen Incident, if Chang He, the guard of Xuanwumen, had not turned against him, how would history have developed?
It's really unknown.
"Third brother, is it your first day on duty today? Not bad. He is neatly dressed and energetic. He is a good man from my Qin family." The eldest brother Qin Tong was born with a strong back and a strong waist. He was half a head taller than Qin Mubai. Haha.
He patted Qin Mubai's shoulder armor with a smile, "This armor is really good. I heard that your armor was custom-made by the Shaofu Supervisory Office last year. You are the only one in the world. Look, this
The shoulder armor is light, translucent and strong, and the breastplate can reflect the silhouette of a person. The whole body is wrapped tightly without looking bloated. It is far more gorgeous and stronger than the ordinary bright light armor. When worn on the body, it is as red as galloping.
Fierce flames. Coupled with this apricot-yellow shirt worn by the royal family, it is the most conspicuous wherever it goes."
Qin Mubai smiled and said: "Brother, please stop being rude to me. I am a general, not a peacock. Why do you only pay attention to my appearance?"
"Haha! That's right! Our Sanlang is versatile both in civil and military affairs. That's not a guarantee." Qin Tong laughed heartily and patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder, "Go in! The emperor is in Hanyuan's main hall. Well, you don't have to
I unload my sword here. The emperor has a special decree, and hundreds of cavalrymen can approach with their troops."
"Thank you, brother. I'm going in to meet you." Qin Mubai bowed his hands and walked into Danfeng Gate.
The law of the Tang Dynasty strictly stipulates that anyone who brings weapons privately close to the emperor is guilty of conspiracy. Changsun Wuji, who was most trusted and favored by the emperor in his early years, forgot to understand the sword when he entered the palace due to carelessness, which resulted in a turmoil in Ruoda.
Although the emperor didn't care about his uncle, the censors refused to let it go. As a result, even Changsun Wuji was almost impeached, and the generals in the garrison were punished. Now the emperor issued a decree to allow Baiqi Envoy to lead
Being a sword attendant is undoubtedly a major privilege promised to Qin Mubai as a sign of trust and favor.
The newly built Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace is extremely majestic and magnificent. The thousand-level long steps of Longwei Road are like reaching the clouds, and there are also sergeants guarding in front of the hall. The guard is the most trusted confidant of the emperor at present, the left prison guard General Li
Jun Xian.
Li Junxian was a general of Wang Shichong when he was fighting for hegemony in the late Sui Dynasty. When Li Shimin conquered the world, he led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Since then, he has been accompanying Li Shimin to escort him and made great military exploits. Not long after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he directly banned the imperial palace.
The guards were handed over to his command and became the general of the emperor's imperial guard.
Speaking of Li Junxian, he also had a relationship with Qin Shubao. In addition to working together with Qin King Li Shimin in the Qin Palace, at the beginning of Zhenguan, Qin Shubao served as Zuolong Wuwei General, and Youlong Wuwei General Cheng Zhijie each commanded half of the imperial guards.
.Li Junxian served as General Zuolong Wuwei at that time, and was one of Qin Shubao's direct subordinates and right-hand men.
When Li Junxian saw Qin Mubai walking up the Dragon's Tail Road, he took a few steps forward and smiled at him from a distance: "It turns out that General Qin is here. I asked, why have I never seen anyone wearing such eye-catching clothes?"
Where is the armor? It turns out to be Qin Mubai, the Hundred Cavalry Envoy!"
"General Li is making fun of you." Qin Mubai stepped forward and clasped his fists in return, "Your Majesty, are you in the palace?"
"It's in the imperial study room in the palace. You can go in and see the driver yourself." Li Junxian looked Qin Mubai up and down, with mixed expressions of joy and worry in his eyes. He nodded and said, "The next generation is formidable. Each generation is better than the next.
!”
"General Li is a role model for us juniors. Sooner or later, the juniors must listen to the general's teachings, and please ask the general to give you advice." Qin Mubai said, cupping his fists.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Li Jun smiled enviously, "Go ahead, the emperor has made a special trip to see you today. There must be something important, so don't delay."
"Thank you General Li, I will take my leave first." Qin Mubai saluted with a smile on his face and walked toward the palace.
