Chapter 309
"General Meng, why don't you thank the Lord for your kindness!" Tang Yu urged.
He knew that Emperor Tang would definitely reward Meng Tian when he returned in triumph, but he really didn't expect that Emperor Tang would make Meng Tian the Commander-in-Chief of the Tang Cavalry, with a first-class official title.
What is the concept of Governor-General?
To put it bluntly, from now on, all cavalry in the Tang Dynasty would be under Meng Tian's jurisdiction.
Even though Qin Mang was the general who protected the country in the Tang Dynasty, Meng Tian could still ignore him without orders from the Tang Emperor.
Meng Tian's eyes turned red when he thought that he was named the leader of the Tang Dynasty cavalry. He knelt on his knees and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord!"
With that said, Meng Tian kowtowed to Emperor Tang three times in succession.
Emperor Tang laughed heartily: "General Meng, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Tian was very excited.
Next, the Emperor of Tang continued to award rewards based on merit, but a large number of soldiers were stationed in Jizhou City on the border. After rewarding some people, the Emperor of Tang could only wait for the remaining generals to return to Beijing before rewarding them.

"It's incredible, it's incredible. This time His Majesty not only allowed His Highness the Crown Prince to create the Imperial Guard, but also made Meng Tian the Commander-in-Chief of the Cavalry. It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's rise is unstoppable!"
"Yes, yes! Didn't you see that Your Majesty severely punished the eldest prince and the third prince today? From now on in the capital, with His Majesty's protection, who would dare to impeach His Highness the Crown Prince easily?"
"Impeach? Are you crazy? Haven't you heard that Jinyiwei has the power of life and death to supervise all officials just like Dongchang and Westchang? If you offend His Highness the Crown Prince, once Jinyiwei takes action, he will arrest you and you will be ruined for the rest of your life. It’s all over! After all, who among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty dares to say that his butt is wiped clean?”
"The situation has changed! The situation in the court will change from now on. Please take care of yourself and be more low-key in your work from now on!"
After the morning court, the civil and military officials began to whisper in groups. They looked at Tang Yu in awe, and no one dared to look down upon him easily.
A month ago, Tang Yu had no power of his own in the court. Even if Prime Minister Xu Shize stood in Tang Yu's camp, Xu Shize was alone and he could not withstand the attacks of everyone.
It's different now. Not only was Tang Yu deeply favored by the Tang Emperor, but he also received permission from the Tang Emperor to create the Imperial Guard. In addition, Meng Tian was also named the Commander-in-Chief of the Tang Dynasty Cavalry.
From now on, inside the court, Tang Yu has the help of Jinyi guards who can punish them at any time; outside the court, Tang Yu has Meng Tian to help him. As long as Tang Yu gives an order, all the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty will obey Tang Yu's dispatch.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were completely unaware that Tang Yu had secretly ambushed a hundred thousand troops on Tiandang Mountain a hundred kilometers away. As long as Tang Yu needed it, Li Jing would definitely come to his aid as soon as possible.
Hold on! Everyone understood that Tang Yu now had a firm foothold in the court.
"General Meng, congratulations!"
After leaving the Jinluan Palace, Tang Yu looked at Meng Tian with a smile on his face.
"General Youmeng's words are enough!" Tang Yu looked excited.
Moreover, Tang Yu deeply understood that Meng Tian was loyal to him to the death. Even if he wanted to rebel now, Meng Tian would not blink his eyes before leading a group of cavalry to help him launch a coup.
Grateful, Meng Tian asked curiously: "Your Highness, you want to create Jinyiwei, but you don't have the manpower for the time being. Do you want me to assign some manpower to you first?"
"Well! It's necessary. In this way, General Meng, pull out 500 of the 5,000 cavalry in your hands. Although the Jin Yiwei has not been formally established, the momentum cannot be reduced!" Tang Yu said sternly.
Meng Tian nodded: "Okay! Your Highness, I will go and select the people right now!"
"Well, go ahead!" Tang Yu nodded solemnly.
After Meng Tian left, Tang Yu walked towards the East Palace.
"Okay, you Tang Yu, you didn't even say hello to me when you came back!"
