Chapter 1299 Could it be that something happened to the forbidden army?
Chapter 1299
A group of military leaders did not put the battle ball to the court discussion at the beginning of the Song Dynasty military affairs, but instead took a more cautious approach and handed it over to Di Yong, who had the power of the imperial guards stationed in Beijing, to promote it among the imperial guards.
Di Yong first found Wang Yang and told the other party how to try to promote among the imperial guards first. Wang Yang happily handed over the rules of the battle ball to Di Yong, and also decided that he would leave ten guards to be coaches from his side.
It was not beyond Wang Yang's expectations, or in other words, the sport of a pure man, which is indeed far more attractive to these rough men in the army than Cuju, which emphasizes skill and physical flexibility than confrontation.
There is no need to deliberately exercise your footwork or fancy skills. What you need is to try to wear strong enough armor, and then find ways to attack the opponent's formation, and open up an open road for the most flexible and fastest brothers in their team.
In less than half a month, this crazy and passionate movement was started to be seen everywhere in the camp of the imperial guards stationed in Bianliang, and it began to be seen everywhere.
Di Yong also obeyed Wang Yang's advice very well. The imperial guards in each camp formed their own teams according to the capital-level system.
Then the competition was held, although the winner did not receive much prize, sometimes it was only a few dozen kilograms of meat or a jar of spirits.
However, the rough men in the military camp were very enthusiastic because they could all prove their strength and bravery in this sport, so that they could be appreciated by their superiors.
And those soldiers who were not selected as team members were also secretly working hard to train their bodies, hoping to win a place in the next selection.
"Why do I feel that something is missing during this period..." Emperor Zhao Xu was examining the impeachment memorials wholesale from the Censorate.
This has been dispersed for the morning court, and important national affairs have been discussed in the court discussion, and major impeachment will also be announced at the court meeting.
However, there are many impeachment memorials that really cannot reach the point where the important officials in the court need to discuss it, but the things that the emperor needs to know about were naturally sent to the emperor's emperor.
Several important officials who were helping the emperor to handle these memorials couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the emperor, all of whom were curious about why the emperor would express such feelings.
"You guys, haven't you noticed it?" The emperor couldn't help but smile when he saw the puzzled eyes of Su Dongpo, Zhang Feng, Liang Tao and others.
"Is it because Wang Wushan was too low-key during this period that no one was causing trouble for him?" Su Dongpo suddenly said something, directly causing everyone present to fall into his resentful eyes.
Dadapao, can you not pick up which pot without opening it?
Even the emperor almost choked his saliva and rolled his eyes helplessly. "Well... it has nothing to do with Wang Qing, but with our imperial guards in Bianliang, Tokyo."
As soon as he heard the word "Imperial Guard", everyone couldn't help but shudder and sat towards their bodies.
"What does Your Majesty mean? Could it be that something happened to the imperial guards?" Zhang Qi quickly stood up and asked with some anxiety. As a boss of the Privy Council, the military affairs were inseparable from him.
"On the contrary, it's almost a month since I've received two memorials of impeachment of the Imperial Guard. You guys, don't you think it's strange?"
"Only two, one month..." The important officials who assisted in handling government affairs couldn't help but sank. You must know that the military strategy of the Song Dynasty has always been strong inside and weak outside.
If there is any trouble in the capital, the court can send troops to support it in time. This method can greatly prevent the situation of being strong outside and doing the middle.
After all, in the former Tang Dynasty, the central government was weak and powerless, but the military governors who held military power were one and two very awesome.
Therefore, when Song Taizu was founding, he had made up his mind to resolutely concentrate his main military forces near the capital to prevent local forces from growing.
However, a large number of troops were stationed around the capital, which also caused a big problem, that is, the military-civilian conflict was very serious.
Every once in a while, some problems are always exposed, but most of them are the people who accused the government of the military and gangsters of causing trouble or stealing.
In short, it is precisely because the imperial guards who have been in the garrison for a long time that they often come out to wander around, and the military Jisong was ashamed that they made them do whatever they wanted, which led to a very bad relationship between the military and the civilians.
In the past, every month, it was not normal to receive 10 or 20 memorials that impeached the imperial guards to harass the people, tease the women, or gather to gamble or steal.
But this month, there are only two copies. What does this mean?
"Mr. Zhang, Lord. Deng, have you not noticed anything abnormal?" Everyone looked at the two of them.
Zhang Feng and Shangshu Deng looked at each other, and they could only see the confusion in each other's eyes. "Your Majesty, I have not received any news during this period. Do you want to come and ask the third yamen?"
"Okay, let's talk about Di Yong, commander-in-chief of the palace, commander-in-chief of the guards, commander-in-chief of the cavalry, and commander-in-chief of the guards, commander-in-chief of the infantry, Wang Hou, came to discuss matters." Emperor Zhao Xu thought for a while and called the names of the three military bosses.
The so-called Three Yas are actually the institution in charge of the imperial guards in the Song Dynasty. It is composed of the Palace Front Office, the Guards’ Personal Army and the Guards’ Personal Army and the Infantry Office, collectively known as the Three Yas.
The chief of the Third Yamen should have been the inspector of the Palace Front Office, the guards’ personal army, the guards’ personal army, and the guards’ personal army and the infantry inspection. Because Song Taizu took on the position of the inspector of the Palace Front Office, just like Emperor Taizong of Tang who had worked as the Shangshu Order, the position of the inspection was no longer granted people.
The commanders of the three yamen are also called the Palace Supervisor, Ma Shuai and Bu Shuai, and are collectively called the Three Supervisors. Of course, they do not refer to the three handsome men, but to three heavyweight military bosses.
Not long after, the three military leaders, Di Yong, Cao Shi, and Wang Hou, arrived together. After saluting the emperor, they nodded to the ministers to greet them.
The emperor asked directly, "The three noble families, can the military discipline and pursuing of the imperial guards in the wings be strengthened during this period?..."
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other and shook their heads at the emperor. "Your Majesty, during this period, the imperial guards are just like the past, and there is nothing wrong with you. I wonder why Your Majesty asked this question?"
Shangshu Deng, the Ministry of War next to him, cleared his throat, walked over, and saluted the three military bosses. "Your Majesty meant that for more than a month, the Censorate impeached the imperial guards and did not uphold military discipline and disturbed the people's livelihood, only this number.
