Chapter 63 East Palace leads the guards

Luo Zhaoyun and others did not wait outside the city for a long time, and the chiefs of the Twelve Guards of the Capital came to recruit the team and led them back to their respective garrisons.

These twelve prefectures are the left and right guards, the left and right Wuwei prefectures, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, and the left and right guards. Most of the imperial guards who returned to the capital are under the left and right guards and the left and right Wuwei, one is responsible for the defense of the imperial city, and the other is the guards outside the city.

There were not many people who belonged to the Eastern Palace's command guards, only more than 1,000 people; of course, in name, the Eastern Palace had ten route guards, but in fact only six routes had the power to lead the army, with a total of only two or three thousand people, and half of them were not in the capital.

At this moment, a young general came over with some personal guards and shouted to thousands of guards in the East Palace: "I am the deputy commander of the Zuosi Yusu of the East Palace. Some of you are new faces. Maybe you can't recognize me. It doesn't matter. In the future, the soldiers of my East Palace's commanded guard camp will be familiar with me. I have been familiar with you for a lot of time. Now I will follow me to the garrison..."

Luo Zhaoyun stood in the team, and heard this, and Sima Dekan was actually him! It seemed that the other party was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and he was already the deputy commander of the right guard, and seemed to have won Yang Guang's trust.

Who would have expected that it was this person who, fifteen years later, Yu Jiangdu took the lead in rebelling, inciting the imperial guards, supporting Yu Wenji, and killing Emperor Yang of Sui?

Sima Dekan was born into a family of military generals. His father was the governor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, his father died early. When he was a teenager, his family declined and became increasingly poor. At that time, he was lonely and weak at a young age and could only make a living by being an apprentice to kill pigs for the butcher. Later, after Shi Can, a monk near his family, had sex with his mother, he took him over to raise and educate him, and taught him to read and read.

When he grew up, he was able to inherit his father's business and become a soldier in the palace. Later, because of his outstanding performance, he entered the palace city and became a servant. By chance, he was transferred to the King of Jin's mansion and became the chief governor. After several years of getting along, he was highly valued by Yang Guang and promoted to a deputy official, which is related to his personal luck and ability.

The guards in the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty were divided into southern and northern yamen. The twelve guards belonged to the southern yamen, which were the soldiers of the Wei Mansion, and the other was the imperial guards belonged to the Northern yamen. The Prime Minister of the Southern yamen was under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister, namely Pushe, the Minister of War, etc., who were in charge of military affairs with civil officials and stationed in the south of the palace, inside the Zhuque Gate in front of Daxing Palace in Chang'an City.

Of course, the Zhuque Gate is only the gates of the various guards and a few soldiers, while the rest of the army is stationed outside the city. Once the court is mobilized, it can go directly to the expedition.

The Prime Minister of the Northern Ya was the chief official of the emperor's confidant. It belonged to the imperial guards directly under the emperor. Those who were stationed in the imperial guards without being mobilized by the Ministry of War, mostly located in the north of the palace, mostly in the Linyuan outside Xuanwu Gate and Chongxuan Gate, also known as the Beimen Gate.

The soldiers and horses of the Eastern Palace were divided into Changlin Gate on the left and right, known as Changlin Army, and were also among the forbidden soldiers. They left the scope of the Ministry of War and only belonged to the crown prince.

Luo Zhaoyun and others had already escaped from the army and formed the Eastern Palace to lead the guard formation, followed Sima Dekan, and circled Chang'an City for most of the time. Instead of walking on the Zhuque Street, they entered from Tonghua Gate in the east of the city. This city gate was the closest place to the Eastern Palace.

When Luo Zhaoyun approached the city gate, he looked up and saw that the majestic city wall was several feet high. There were side walls on the main wall, and bricks were built on the side wall. The battlements between the bricks were the lookout holes and shooting outlets for guarding the soldiers. There were also majestic city towers, corner towers, and looking at the towers, standing at intervals; the roof was a double-eaved nine-ridge hip-mounted mountain style, surrounded by corridor columns outside, and the horse road was approached.

He followed the team, passed the suspension bridge, and entered the city gate. He looked back at the tall and powerful Chang'an city wall. It was like a copper and iron wall. Outside the special gear-shaped concave and convex city wall, there were four lonely guardrails built. There were no passages or stairs below. Only wooden boards were used to match the city wall on the top of the platform to get in and out.

"A thousand-year-old ancient city, history is vicissitudes! What kind of virtue can I do? It's so wonderful to cross time and space for 1,500 years to come to the Sui and Tang dynasties and feel the lives of the ancients. " Luo Zhaoyun was extremely excited, and kept looking around, watching as much of the original appearance of this living ancient city as possible.

When you enter the ancient city, you will see blue bricks and gray tiles, flower buildings and paintings, neat streets, square bricks and bluestone roads, gorgeous clothes and pearls of pedestrians passing by, fragrant silk and silk. The vast streets are full of traffic and bustling, and a prosperous scene.

However, there were no shops or taverns on both sides of the street. Since the Sui Dynasty, the capital built a fang area and divided the residential areas into neatly 108 fangs, which were similar to a Go board.

Each yard is more than one mile long and wide, with a cross road and several small streets inside. Each yard has a population of more or less, with fewer people, about a thousand people, mostly in a remote yard, with many people in the area of ​​the city wall, with many people in remote yards, and more than ten thousand people. They are all in a prosperous place, close to the palace and the yards next to the second city.

In about one incense stick, a team of thousands of people came from Tonghua Gate to the East Palace area. Their martial soldiers only lived outside the martial arts court of the East Palace and in the courtyards on both sides. They were separated by several levels from the place where the prince lived. If the area of ​​the East Palace was like a yard, then the East Palace's guards and Yang Guang's residence were not the same courtyard at all, and they could even be separated by two small streets.

"This Chang'an City is so big!" Ji Pingwu was stunned all the way, and he had gained knowledge. Fortunately, he met Luo Zhaoyun, followed him to regain his luck, and had the opportunity to work in the capital.

After the soldiers of the Eastern Palace arrived at the garrison, the Sixth Guardian Sima, joined the army, and the head of the Bo, verified the number of people. For the newly joined soldiers, they re-logged their names, household registration, age, etc., it was very detailed. After all, the Eastern Palace was directly under the jurisdiction of the prince. If the origin was unknown, if the prince was assassinated, wouldn't it be a big joke?

Once the identity and household registration are true, if it is linked to the fate of the family, if anyone has a serious rebellion, he will not be able to escape from the temple after running away from the monk, and will definitely affect the family's direct relationship.

Luo Zhaoyun and other newcomers received new clothes, armor, waist cards, etc., and went to their own camping house. This was a barracks area, with no tents like marching, but rows of neat houses combined with tiles and wood.

There was a small courtyard where there was a team of fifty people living in a row, and there were 500 people in this kind of house. Luo Zhaoyun was named the Martial Cavalry General, but he lived in a separate room. However, because he had just been promoted and had an official position but had no real power, he could not command the troops immediately.

After the settlement was completed, Guo Xiaoke and Ji Pingwu came to Luo Zhaoyun's house and planned to ask him to go out for a walk before the curfew at dusk. However, Yang Guang's personal guard came over to find Luo Zhaoyun to convey the prince's order and asked Luo Zhaoyun to prepare, and then go to the East Palace's main palace to attend a welcome banquet after dusk.

Luo Zhaoyun was stunned on the spot, with a wry smile on his face, thinking that he, a small official from the seventh rank, was qualified to attend the dinner set up by the prince in the capital where the prince was captured by the prince?
