Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 12: The Prince's Guards, the Imperial Guards
"How is it?"

Li Chengqian took a sip of the tea, which immediately left a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, and his tongue became coated with saliva.

Du He looked dusty and untidy, but he was in high spirits.

He ran around in the middle of winter and suffered a lot.

From this point of view, he did his job with all his heart.

"Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission." Du He said in a loud voice.

"how many people?"

"One hundred." Du He's voice was low and a little out of breath. He felt very ashamed.

The prince's affairs were not handled properly.

Li Chengqian didn't care. This number was reasonable and expected.

He didn't think that Du He would be able to find so many good girls with high standards in a short period of time.

If it were someone else, it might be difficult to do so.

After all, he has a clean family background, so you need to start investigating.

It is not easy to figure out the details of a hundred people in a short period of time.

Even if there are people who come to join under the banner of the Eastern Palace, you still have to screen their background.

This requires a lot of effort and the work intensity is extremely high.

Of course, this is also within Li Chengqian's acceptable range.

His first batch of Jinyiwei were to be trained as the backbone of the future expansion of Jinyiwei.

What matters is quality, not quantity.

Seeing Du He looking a little dejected, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Okay."

"You have done a good job. You have certainly fulfilled your mission."

"I am very satisfied."

Du He said: "But I still feel it is not enough."

"A lot."

"Be happy, you have successfully accomplished something big on your own."

Li Chengqian praised and said with a smile: "How should I reward you?"

"Du He is honored to work for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I dare not ask for any reward."

Du He was a little unsure whether the prince was speaking sarcastically or it was true.

"How about this."

Li Chengqian put away his smile and said solemnly, "Du He, I will now appoint you as the commander of the Jinyiwei. You will wear a flying fish robe and hang an embroidered spring sword. You will guard the Eastern Palace and be in charge of the Eastern Palace's ceremonial guards. You will be in charge of the guards when the palace goes out on tours. You will be the prince's personal guard."

Hear the words.

Du He was very excited.

He didn't know what the Jinyiwei were.

But he heard four words: Prince's personal army!

It still feels like a bolt from the blue, and I don’t know how powerful it is.

Just hearing this title makes people feel relaxed and happy and proud.

The prince’s personal army!
My goodness.

I feel dizzy. I feel dizzy.

Du He had never felt such attention and honor.

At home, he has a woman who suppresses him, and outside, everyone compares him with his father.

He is the typical loser everywhere.

Only with the prince was he truly recognized and respected.

This was the first time he selected personnel for His Highness, and he put all his energy, wholeheartedly, and fully worked hard.

This full effort and serious work finally paid off.

"Your Highness!"

"I will sacrifice my life for the country and serve as an ox or a horse."

Du He crawled on the ground, unable to help but shouting loudly.

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly, stepped forward to help Du He up, and comforted him: "I don't want you to be a slave, just be loyal to me."

"You are my brother-in-law, we are of the same blood. If I don't use you, how can I trust others?"

Du He held Li Chengqian's hands tightly and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. From now on, I will only listen to you."

"You can't be the only one who listens to me. You have to be my personal guard. All the Jinyiwei have to listen to me." Li Chengqian preached: "Remember, Jinyiwei is my personal guard of the crown prince."

"Whether inside or outside the palace, the Jinyiwei, as the prince's personal army, represents my dignity and prestige."

"You are the only ones who bully others, no one else bullies the Jinyiwei." Du He nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. No one can suppress the Jinyiwei. Even if it is His Majesty's 100 cavalrymen, we Jinyiwei are not afraid."

"The prince's personal army has its own majesty."

Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it."

"Get up and talk."

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian was the one who made the establishment of the Embroidered Uniform Guard known to the public.

The money used was still from Li Er’s inner treasury.

It can be said that, apart from the people, all the configuration of the Jinyiwei was paid for by Li Er.

What Li Chengqian had to do was to wait until the Jinyiwei were trained, and then have them serve as his personal guards. Later, when their numbers increased, he would gradually take over the responsibility of guarding the palace gates from the Eastern Palace guards.

Completely control the Eastern Palace in your hands, regardless of whether the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are spies of the Taiji Palace.

As long as the Jinyiwei are guarding the palace gate, there is no way anyone can pass on the message.

Of course, the spies in the Eastern Palace will also look for opportunities to identify and screen.

But, the road must be taken step by step and the meal must be eaten bite by bite.

Donggong is still a complete fool, how can he compete with Li Er?

"Somebody come!"

"His Royal Highness."

"Go and call Master Feng Jin."

Du He asked curiously, "Your Highness, why did you call Master Feng in?"

"You'll find out later."

Feng Shijin was the deputy commander of the Left Guard and also a rebel recruited by Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian suddenly found it very funny.

As for these small fry, they want to join forces to rebel against Li Er. I really don't know whether to say that they are stubborn or too risky. They think that the Xuanwu Gate inheritance law is a gamble in which life and death are determined by fate and wealth is determined by God.

The favor of the King of Wei forced the rotten fish and shrimp of the Crown Prince's faction to lose their composure and sense of propriety.

With just these abilities and brains, are they qualified to rebel?

"Greetings to His Royal Highness, may His Royal Highness be well."

Master Feng took off his armor and sword and went into the hall to pay his respects.

"Get up."

Li Chengqian said calmly.

Master Feng bowed his head respectfully and dared not speak a word.

A few days ago, the prince sent someone to warn them that from now on they were not allowed to have any communication or contact with Zhang Sizheng and Hegan Chengji.

The person who came was none other than Helan Chushi.

He was told coldly and mercilessly that he would be executed immediately if he was discovered.

Execution!
Master Feng panicked on the spot, feeling as if the sky was falling.

Didn’t we agree to assassinate the King of Wei and share the wealth and glory after the rebellion?

How did the prince become so strange?

He wants to attack his own people and is so rude at that.

He hadn't seen Zhang Sizheng and Hegan Chengji for many days. They disappeared without a trace and there was no news at all.

Could it be that it has disappeared intentionally and now it is my turn?

"Du He, please select one hundred young men from good families, and you will train them in person in the East Palace training ground."

Li Chengqian felt that the cold shoulder had almost reached its limit, so he spoke up, "Remember, there is only one thing. As the personal soldiers of the Crown Prince, you must make sure that the Jinyiwei understand and always remember that it is their duty to obey the Crown Prince's orders."

He reached out to the wooden box on the table, took out a stack of papers, and said, "This is the outline for training the Jinyiwei."

"Just follow the instructions above."

Feng Shijin was timid and hurried forward to take over. He asked without thinking, "May I ask your Highness, what is the Jinyiwei..."

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, just do your part."

Li Chengqian said lightly, and Feng Shijin felt his heart tremble with fear.

The prince has changed.

"Du He, as the commander, you also have to participate in the training."

Li Chengqian pointed at Du He's thin figure and scolded him with a smile: "Look at how weak you are, and how you are drained by alcohol and sex."

"Go and give me some good training. You don't have any manners at all."

"How can it be of great use?"
