A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 163
The imperial city, the left and right mansions.

Huaiyu saw Li Deyu, Li Jing's eldest son, here, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Why did Wu Erlang come to our left and right mansions?" Li Deyu was drinking tea with someone, and he was a little surprised to see him, but he greeted him warmly.

"Wu Erlang was summoned by the sage just now, and he was awarded Qianniu Bei and led the Qianqi Battalion. We will be colleagues from now on." An Yuanshou said with a smile.

An Yuanshou introduced the people to Huaiyu, Qianniu prepares body guards with swords, and there are only 12 people in the left and right mansions, and they are also on duty in different shifts. People, the main battle is 12 people.

Huaiyu felt that this was similar to first-class guards, second-class guards and third-class guards.

Qianniu Beishen and Beishen left and right are both rank-[-] low-ranking officers, at the same level as Huaiyu's original town general, but these guards with swords in front of the imperial court must have a higher status and have a better future. Qianniu, status is indeed extremely expensive.

Li Deyu, the eldest son of Li Jing, Duke of Yongkang County, An Yuanshou, the eldest son of Xinggui, the Public Security Bureau of Liang State, Lu Renye, the eldest son of Lu Kuan, the supervisor of Duke Rui, Li Bi, the second younger brother of Duke Cao and Li Ji, the governor of the State Road, and the eldest son of Liu Hongji, Duke of Ren. Liu Renshi, and Yin Hong, the step-heir of Yin Kaishan, Duke of Yunjie, and Yin Hong, Duke of Yun,
And a person who was a little surprised by Wu Huaiyu, Chai Zhewei, the eldest son of Huo Guogong Chai Shao, this guy returned to the capital at some point.

The other dozen or so people who were not on duty were all sons of Lord Xun Qi.

The few people in the house, father and brother are either the Duke of the State or the Chief of the General. Compared with Wu Huaiyu's background, it is inevitable that Wu Huaiyu's background is inferior, but the clan uncle is also the father of Wu De, Ying Guogong.

Lu Renye looked quite similar to Lu Huairang, in his 20s, more powerful, and greeted Huaiyu, "I heard about you in Erlang's letter."

And when Chai Zhewei, who had worked with him in Longyou, met him, he even taunted him, "Isn't Wu Erlang the young inspector of the military inspection school and enshrined in the Tongshi Sheren? How come this fifth-rank official was dismissed after only three days?" gone?"

Huaiyu chuckled, this guy is always so annoying.

"If you did something wrong, you should be punished."

"Well, the attitude is not bad, remember well, don't do it again next time."

Huaiyu chuckled, this guy is really cool.

Li Bi was Li Ji's second younger brother, and he was quite indifferent to Huaiyu. Huaiyu remembered that the old Li family and the old Wu family were rivals in history, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Li Bi's elder brother, Li Ji, was originally named Xu Shiji. After Li Mi's army was defeated in Guanzhong and cast Tang, Xu Shiji led the rest of Li Mi's old lands, compiled and registered them all, and then sent them to Li Mina in Chang'an, and asked Li Mi to dedicate them to Li Yuan. The reason was that he was Li Mi's subordinate. .

Li Yuan admired him greatly and made him king, but Xu Shiji refused, so Li Yuan issued an edict to make his father Xu Gai king of Jiyin and Xu Shiji Duke of Lai.

Xu Gai was a big landlord. He had no merits of his own, so he refused to confer any merits. In the end, Li Yuan changed Xu Gai to Duke of Shangzhu and Duke of Shu. , attached to the royal clan, is completely treated the same as Du Fuwei and Luo Yi.

During the reign of Wude, Li Ji has been in command of the Henan army, fighting against heroes such as Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and Xu Yuanlang, but he performed mediocrely and often lost battles. He was even captured by Dou Jiande and forced to serve under Dou Jiande for a period of time.

But Li Ji, who was mediocre, won the trust of Li Yuan.

The son of the richest man in Jiyin in the Sui Dynasty, he claimed to be a thief and murderer at the age of 14. He is one of the founders of Wagangzhai. Li Ji is still very stable.

Wu Huaiyu knew better that this Li Ji had a bit of Li Jing's taste, the older he got, the more powerful he was, Zhenguan Chao and Li Jing were two big men in the military, they swept the Turks and wiped out Tuyuhun Gan Xue Yantuo and even conquered Liaodong, they were invincible.

Li Ji didn't seem to have won much in the civil war, but in the foreign wars of Taizong and Gaozong's dynasties, this old man was a group of ruthless ones, and it was Su Ding who was able to compare with them later.

Especially in Li Zhichao, that is the real veteran of the auxiliary government.

If it weren't for his grandson Li Jingye's rebellion against Wu Zetian later, which involved his grave being looted, Li Ji's status in the Tang Dynasty would definitely be one of the best.

In Li Shimin's struggle for the crown prince, it is said that Li Ji, like Li Jing, remained neutral, but some also said that they actually supported Li Shimin secretly, because Li Jing was the crown prince, and he was originally the emperor. If they really fulfilled their duties as ministers, then It should support the completion of the prince.

However, Li Ji was held to death by Li Shimin in Bingzhou during the Zhenguan Dynasty, and he hadn’t moved much for more than ten years. It was far inferior to Li Jing’s glorious moment when he paid homage to Prime Minister at the beginning of Zhenguan. bet.

But thinking of the descendants of the Li family who turned against the Wu family later, and now that Li Bi treats him so coldly, could it be that the Li family has always looked down on the Wu family?
Huai Yu took the initiative to greet Li Bi, but this guy still had that cold attitude.

Liu Renshi and Yin Hong were quite polite.

Liu Renshi's father, Liu Hongji, was also one of the sixteen heroes of Wude. He felt that Huaiyu was the son of a warrior, and he was one of his own.

Yin Hong had the highest title among all the people. His uncle Yin Kaishan was Li Shimin's confidant, but he died of illness when he was conquering Wang Shichong and had no heirs, so he chose his younger brother's son Yin Hong as his heir.Although Yin Hong holds the title of duke of the country, Yin Kaishan has been dead for several years after all, and he has no influence when he is only a duke, so he is very polite to everyone.

"I'll take you to meet the Shangguan of our left and right mansions."

The left and right mansions were later known as Qianniuwei, and now they belong to the second mansion among the four mansions of the twelve guards.

"Our left and right mansions are the same as the left and right prison gate mansions. Unlike the twelve guards, we don't command the military mansion. Our main responsibilities are to serve as guards and guard the palace."

Huaiyu belongs to Zuofu in the left and right mansions. The general is Sun Shunde, the uncle of Xue Guogong, the uncle of Li Shimin's wife, Changsun. Before that, he was the general of Zuo Xiaowei and the general of Qiguan. Book province, succeeding the original built one.

The current general of the Zuofu is Zhang Shigui, who also checks the soldiers and horses at the North Gate.

Changsun Shunde and Zhang Shigui were very polite to Wu Huaiyu ordering Zuo Qianniu to prepare himself, especially Zhang Shigui, who also guarded Li Shimin to attack the Turks at night together last time.

"Thousands of cattle on the left and right are prepared, all of whom are young and beautiful from Gaoyin's children, and the clothes are embroidered with flowers and tin, and the clothes are green and elephant-like, which is a good choice for nobles to start a family.

Erlang Yuan is also a young and handsome son of meritorious service, and he has also made military exploits in Longyou. It is a great honor to be able to enter the left and right mansions to prepare for Qianniu and hold the sword. "

Qianniu Royal Sword, Huadian Embroidered Clothes, and Hualing Hat
Zhang Shigui asked Huaiyu to fetch his outfit.

The clothes of the Baiqi guards are embroidered with wild horses, while the clothes of Qianniu are embroidered with Rui Niu.

There are also two long feathers of unknown birds stuck in the hat.

"You have already given Crimson Silver, but remember to wear this green embroidered robe when you are on duty."

Huaiyu looked at An Yuanshou, he was wearing this green brocade robe embroidered with cows, he was quite handsome and handsome, too, Qianniu Beishen was obviously equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei Dahan General.

That Qiangniu knife is old and long.

Also called instrument knife, royal knife.

The handle and long blade are longer, because it is too long, so when you are on duty, you always lean on it directly in front of you, with the scabbard facing down, and the ring handle on the top, and throw a pestle in front of you, almost as tall as a person. The one Huaiyu received The Qianniu knife is slightly shorter than him, five feet and five feet long, and he estimates it to be at least 1.6 meters long.

The material of this knife is very good, and it is estimated that it has been forged with hundreds of refinements. After all, there are only twelve thousand cattle in each of the left and right mansions.

They are also the only ones who can hold knives in front of the emperor. The ceremonial knives carried by the other guards are made of wood, which is called Banjian.

This knife is more powerful and domineering than the Miao knife, the Miao knife is more slender, and the Qianniu knife is more domineering, longer, wider, and heavier. It has the characteristics of a gun, a knife, and a sword. It is not only beautiful, but also a real battlefield weapon. It can charge into battle, and it can also behead a horse.

The horse-slaying sword that Fan Xuanfu often carried was not as long as the thousand-ox sword.

Zhang Shigui drew his saber out of its sheath, and demonstrated to his face the sword skills of Qian Niu Dao. He was able to use the saber as well as the spear skill, and he could switch hands with one hand. the main points.

The Qianniu Dao was in his hands, and he repeatedly struck repeatedly, flying across the calendar at a high speed, smashing the sword in his body, and the sword turned with the person, like a broken bamboo, full of lethal power.

"Ordinary armor can't protect against this thousand bull knife!"

Zhang Shigui handed the saber to him, "Keep it safe, each of these sabers is forged by famous masters and craftsmen, it is a great honor to be able to wear this saber and sit in front of the imperial guard."

Although Huaiyu wasn't too happy about being a guard with a sword, but the more he looked at it, the more he liked the Thousand Bull Sword, and he couldn't help waving it in his hand.

Fan Xuanfu taught him the sword technique of Zhanmajian before. Before learning Zhanmajian, one should first practice the 24 postures of the whole arm, and then practice the swordmanship of Zhanma. powerful.

Fan Xuanfu's Horse-Chopping Sword is five feet long, but this saber is five feet five, which is even longer. He swung it with the Horse-Chopping Sword Technique, and it is also very powerful.

Zhang Shigui nodded straight after seeing it, "It's quite organized, Erlang is good at kung fu."

·······
After receiving the Qianniu knife and green embroidered clothes, Huaiyu left the Zuo Mansion. Qianniu Beishen also took one break and two breaks. The 24 Qianniu Beishen in the two mansions were divided into three shifts. His Zuo Qianniu was just like before. The seven people who arrived, including An Yuanshou, were on duty in a team, four in each of the left and right mansions.

Li Deyu, An Yuanshou, and Lu Renye were in the same class as him, and Li Bi, Yin Hong, Chai Zhewei, and Liu Renshi from the Right House were also in their class.

"You don't need to be on duty today, and you will officially be on duty in three days."

The task of being on duty is to guard with a sword, stand in front of the emperor with a sword during the court meeting, and follow the guards after retreating.

"Tomorrow An Dalang will not be on duty, do you have time to go to Duke Ying's mansion together?" Huaiyu asked.

"Okay." An Yuanshou had been waiting for a long time, and immediately agreed, "Has Erlang been to Irina's place in Yanshoufang?"

"Not yet, after visiting Ying Guogong tomorrow, we will go to Yanshoufang together?"

"Okay."
