The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 265
"It's okay, but I've been lying down for too long, and my hands don't belong to me anymore. If I rest for another two months, I'm afraid I'll forget how to swing my sword."

Having said that, I overcame it and started dancing sword again.

Compared with before, it is a little less fluent.

But for a person who has just recovered from a serious illness, the recovery is already very good.

The fourth prince stood aside and watched for a long time.

Seeing the sweat falling from Lin Xingzhi's forehead, he still refused to stop.

There is joy in the eyes.

"He is indeed a good seedling, Lao Ji, I will leave this person to you. Whether or not there will be another commander of the Imperial Guard who can hold the place in the future depends on your ability."

The Lao Ji mentioned by the fourth prince is the new commander of the imperial guard standing beside him.

He was once one of the best players in the Imperial Army.

Compared with his ability to strategize on the battlefield, he is more suitable to stay by the emperor's side.

After all, not everyone has the ability to see all directions and hear all directions.

Being the commander of the Imperial Guard is not at all easier than a general who leads troops to fight.

Especially after Cui Shixiu's incident, the entire Imperial Guard was basically a big change.

The Fourth Prince transferred 5000 people from the Imperial Army to replace the Imperial Guard.

They are all bloody men.

And extremely loyal.

The original imperial guards were all sent to the imperial army for training.

One is to sound the alarm for them, and the other is that the job of the Imperial Guard is too easy, many people have even forgotten their true skills, and it is time to return to the furnace.

As soon as the news came out, many people complained.

After all, if you work in the imperial court, you will have more chances to rise to the top.

But in the Huangjia Army, it is necessary to rely on one's own ability.

Many people couldn't bear this hardship, and they all wondered how Zhezi could tactfully express that he would not join the Imperial Army.

Jiang Huanqing, on the other hand, has a brain, so he suggested it in a nutshell.

"There are at least ten thousand imperial guards who have been replaced this time. Most of them are descendants of aristocratic families. They don't want to join the imperial army. Why don't the four princes ask their families to pay to redeem them. One 500 taels of silver is not too much."

500 taels of silver is enough for many years in an ordinary family.

But for those rich and powerful families, it is very simple.

Compared with the life of my son and nephew, 500 taels of silver is just like playing.

Therefore, when the news first came out, everyone was skeptical.

I'm afraid that this is not a deliberate test for them.

So everyone waits and sees.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the fourth prince opened his mouth, he said that at most 1000 people can leave the camp.

The children of the rich and powerful families who were greedy for life and afraid of death, donated generously one after another.

So that in the future, in order to let their children escape from the suffering of the Huangjia Army, the threshold of the Fourth Prince's Mansion will be broken.

Today it's this one who begs, tomorrow it's that one who comes to cry.

The disturbance made the fourth prince and the fourth concubine restless.

I have given face to this family, but I have to give it to another family.

In the end, the fourth prince pretended to have a headache and left the matter to the people below.

Naturally, the gap widened unconsciously.

In the end, there was more than one person who redeemed himself with 5000 taels of silver.

After the mighty military incident, the fourth prince received a total of 68 taels of redemption money.

After reporting to the emperor, half of the money was put into the treasury, and half was used as the salary of the emperor's army.

Not to mention the new armor and weapons for the soldiers, there is even a lot more oil in the soup.

This kills three birds with one stone.

Whether it is the Emperor's Armor Army or the Imperial Guard Army, they have all received a significant improvement.

And those princes and brothers who had no intention of going up and couldn't bear hardships were also successfully expelled from the core power.

For this reason, Jiang Huanqing was promoted to three ranks in a row and directly became the deputy leader of the fourth prince's personal guard.

But it brought hope to Earl Rongchang's mansion.

"Don't worry, my lord, just because of his determination to block the knife with his body, the general will also admire him very much. He must teach him well and live up to the emperor and lord's heart of cherishing talents."

The Fourth Prince nodded in satisfaction.

Then his eyes fell on Jiang Huanqing.

He had underestimated this child before.

I have to say that the brain is really flexible.

It made him have another idea, but he had to wait and see.

They are all young people in their early twenties now, and it is not a good thing to gain glory without enough experience.

If the foundation is not stable, tall buildings can also collapse.

Everyone understands this.

So, take your time, don't rush.

Lin Xingzhi and Jiang Huanqing practiced against each other for a while, until both of them were sweating profusely, then they saw the figures of the Fourth Prince and Commander Ji.

Immediately walked over and said on one knee.

"The subordinates have seen the Fourth Prince and Commander Ji."

"Well, get up."

"Thank you, Lord."

Both of them are tough men. If we say that they were still a little fledgling in the past, after a year or so of tempering, they seem to be a bit of a general.

However, there is still a long way to go before we can really reach this step.

It is still unknown.

"Is your injury healed? Just practice hard here? Carefully hurt the bottom of your body."

"My lord, don't worry, if the subordinates are not safe, the second uncle at home will not let me out."

This is.

Just look at his current complexion and figure. During the past few months of recuperating in the Dong family, he has indeed recovered well.

"Well, that's good, but it's still a step by step, don't rush at this moment, understand?"

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, my subordinates will keep it in mind."

Hearing his answer, the Fourth Prince and Commander Ji glanced at each other.

They all showed satisfied looks.

"Okay, you can recover in the army for two months, and when it's almost done, follow Commander Ji and join the Imperial Guard."

Into the Janissaries?

He remembered that he had made it clear before that he still wanted to return to the Imperial Army.

Why are you sending him to the Imperial Guard now?

So I wanted to say no.

Unexpectedly, the fourth prince added.

"This is the emperor's personal decree. You are promoted to the first-class head of the imperial bodyguard, and the yellow mandarin jacket given by the emperor. Since the Great Wei Dynasty, seven yellow jackets have been given out by the emperor. Everyone is here. There is not much to say about the meritorious ministers of the Great Wei, but this king remembers that Commander Ji has one, right?"

"My lord has a good memory, the last general does have one."

Lin Xingzhi still doesn't quite understand the meaning of the yellow jacket.

But when he heard that there were only seven of them, he was a little more shocked.

The first-class head of the imperial guard, this position is also very powerful.

Not to mention anything else, the imperial guards in the entire Qian'an Palace will obey his orders.

A year ago, he was still a rankless bodyguard, but now he has become a celebrity in front of the imperial court.

This speed is really beyond the reach of others.

But those present felt it should be.
