Chapter 632 Arrangements
The guard who can walk with a knife in the palace is at least the fourth rank.
The guards of the inner palace of the previous dynasty belonged to the Jinwu Guard. Since this dynasty, they have been selected among the Feiyu Guards.
It is said to be a selection, but in fact, anyone who can get this job is either a royal family member or a noble child.
To protect the emperor, one must be strong in martial arts and physical health. One must follow the emperor in daily life and look decent. Eight out of 10, nine out of 10, nine out of 10, those who meet these conditions are young people.
In addition to the royal family and noble children, how many are the fourth-rank military officers at a young age? Even if there are such people, they are all military generals with great military achievements on the border, how could such people be willing to be a guard in the palace?
Li Guanzhong's mind was spinning quickly, and he said with a look of embarrassment: "There are several suitable candidates in the five major camps of Zhending, but not long ago, Duke Ding transferred all these people to attack Han Guang."
He observed his expression and saw that the expectation in Emperor Chongwen's eyes gradually faded, and he changed his tone and said, "Everything else is easy to say, it's this level... Unless there are ancestors' favors, this fourth grade... I don't know how many people will be jealous and stare at them all."
Yes, if the children of the royal family can get such a mission, it is worth showing off at a banquet. Even for the noble children with rich family, which of their fathers and brothers are not sharp-headed and want to send their children in?
It would be fine if the emperor was overwhelmed. Now that there is such a vacancy, the selected person cannot be identified. Otherwise, Emperor Chongwen himself could imagine what kind of scene would be.
No one can offend him now, nor can he be the royal family camp, nor can he be the Duke of Dingguo and Mao Yuanjiu.
To put it bluntly, the emperor can't even find a guard who suits his wishes now.
"Li Qing family, is there nothing to do?" Emperor Chongwen cried, he was so frustrated that he was about to cry.
Li Guanzhong covered his chest and was about to vomit blood. He remembered that he had a head disease this time, so he quickly covered his head with both hands, and the headache was about to break.
Emperor Chongwen also saw that Li Guanzhong had no choice. He said, "Qinglian... Ye Qinglian is very skilled in martial arts. I have a heart of loving talents. I would like to reward him as a fourth-rank cavalry captain. What does the Li Qing family think?"
There are tenth level of Wenxun in the Great Qi Dynasty and twelve level of Wuxun. The commander of the cavalry is a dispersed official of Wuxun. He does not need to attend court and does not have a real position, but he has a rank. Most of the nobles in the Great Qi Dynasty have such a gift in their mother's belly.
Li Guanzhong quickly praised: "Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty is wise, I thank Your Majesty for your kindness for that Captain Ye."
Emperor Chongwen thought to himself, Lianqing is not your son, do you need to thank him? But he was still a little happy.
Even the commander of the Flying Fish Guard cannot point fingers at the Imperial Guard, but the Imperial Guard is still under the Flying Fish Guard on the surface.
Li Guanzhong clearly wanted to treat Lian Qing as his own person.
Although Li Guanzhong is both greasy and smooth, in terms of deep foundation, there are not many people in the entire Qi Dynasty who can compare with him.
His father Li Yongji has done two things in his life, one is to take the King of Yan to fight; the other is to help the Prince of Yanbei fight Yang Qin now. The first thing is to make the Li family prosperous for decades. If this second thing is successful, it will make the Li family prosperous for decades.
Li Guanzhong has been in Feiyuwei for more than ten years, and both of his deputy commanders have not had a good end, but he has been smooth and has been doing well. Even Duke Xiao Changdun of Dingguo wanted to give him some face.
If Ye Qinglian had Li Guanzhong's support...
Emperor Chongwen was in a good mood and gave Li Guanzhong an inkstone for the first time.
Emperor Chongwen rarely rewarded court officials, so Li Guanzhong came from the palace with his inkstone in his hands. In less than an hour, it spread to all the yamen and houses in the capital.
Xiao Changdun sat in the warm room at home, drinking the rain that he used to be disdainful but now had to drink, while listening to Ama reporting about Li Guanzhong to him.
"... The emperor Longyan was very happy and gave a piece of inkstone. Shortly after Anchang Hou left the palace, the emperor was granted the fourth-rank Shangqiu Captain Ye Qinglian. Although he was a false position, he was of a grade." Ama said.
Xiao Changdun narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Now the court has sent troops, all the officials with military honors in each mansion will be summoned to the expedition. When Ye Qinglian goes to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, he will be allowed to enlist in the army. Well, he will bring his own horses and armor. Since it is personally conferred by the emperor, he will be treated as the princes in other mansions."
Ama responded and came back in less than half an hour.
"The news from the Anchang Marquis' Mansion has been heard. There is a vacant vacant at the imperial guards beside the emperor."
Xiao Changdun snorted coldly: "Well, I guessed that only the imperial guards are the fourth-ranked ones. It's okay, just follow what I said, do it more secretly and be ahead of Li Guanzhong."
"Mr., this person was chosen by the emperor. Look..." Ama was a little embarrassed.
"I'll call it?" Xiao Changdun sneered, "A person who can't even find out about our Xiao family will keep him by His Majesty's side, and that's undoubtedly a knife. This person cannot be kept."
Ama understood and asked again: "Do you think you should tell An Changhou? After all, this is his management."
Xiao Changdun remembered that Li Guanzhong was so angry that he wanted to get rid of Li Guanzhong.
Li Guanzhong's bastard also threatened him with Xiao Liu from time to time.
Who made Xiaoliu convince Old Anchang Marquis Li Yongji to come out of seclusion?
Xiao Changdun sighed and said, "Then say hello to him. Let me tell him about Ye Qinglian's identity. The imperial guards are under the Feiyu Guard. I don't believe that if something happened to Ye Qinglian, he would be able to get rid of Li Guanzhong."
"Where is Master Mao, do you want to let go of the wind?" Ama asked.
"Li Guanzhong came out with the inkstone in his hand. The Mao Mansion should have known the whole story now, so don't worry about them." Xiao Changdun ordered.
However, the person sent by Ama to hand over to Li Guanzhong did not complete the task as scheduled.
Because Li Guanzhong had already taken the lead, he completed Ye Qinglian's entry procedures with a speed of lightning speed.
Now, Ye Qinglian is already a fourth-grade imperial guard with swords!
The war ahead was urgent, and all families with military achievements had to send people to join the army, but those with formal official positions were not needed, let alone the imperial guards.
When war is short of people, the emperor's guards must be missing.
Xiao Changdun was furious. Who is Li Guanzhong? He has never been a person who can do serious things. When did he do things so quickly?
Li Guanzhong did it on purpose, he was deliberately competing with him for time.
Li Guanzhong's original intention was to get the emperor's wish.
