For court officials, in addition to the martial arts competitions between the DPRK and China, there is another thing that deserves their attention.
That is Dong Gongzuo's candidate.
Yu Youtang has been deposed. There are 20,000 soldiers in the East Palace Command. They cannot be without a leader for a day. The new East Palace Zuo Command must be determined as soon as possible.
Who will be the new Togong Zuo Ling?
In other words, who will be the trusted and trusted general around the prince?
This candidate will most likely come from the Ten Leaders' House in the East Palace, or other close military commanders from the Prince's line.
However, what is surprising is that the emperor actually ordered Lu Guang to serve as the left commander of the East Palace and command the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Ten Commands of the East Palace!
Who is Lu Guang?
The former Gyeonggi Guard General had made great achievements in the military. When Emperor Yongning came to the throne, he was the first to respond with his troops and support him!
It can be said that he has both military prestige and merit in serving the dragon. His prestige in the military is even greater than that of Tao Jingyuan!
What's more important is that Lu Guang was a very sober man and understood the principle of great achievements that shake the master. Shortly after Emperor Yongning ascended the throne, he fell ill and became an official.
Even though Emperor Yongning repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, he refused to stay. He not only withdrew, but also withdrew completely.
Over the years, Lu Guang has been enjoying his retirement leisurely, not to mention interfering in military affairs. He even refused to attend ordinary banquet invitations.
Such an attitude made it clear that he did not want to be tainted with the military and political matters of the imperial court. Why did he take up the post of leader of the East Palace now?
Why would he do this? In other words, what did the emperor think and how to persuade him to serve as an official again?
What is the deep meaning of the emperor's move? Is it to accumulate strength in the army for the prince, or is it because he can't find a better candidate for the military commander at the moment?
After Concubine Tao Xian learned the news, she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep for two days, and several bubbles came out of her mouth.
"How could it be Lu Guang? The prince has Lu Guang, the leader of the East Palace, so what does it mean to lose Yu Youtang? This is really a huge profit!" Tao Xianfei couldn't sit still at all, pacing back and forth irritably.
Tao Jingyi happened to enter the palace today, and her eyes were dazzled by her aunt walking around. She couldn't help but said: "Aunt, please sit down first. This matter is not urgent."
"Not in a hurry? How can I not be in a hurry?" Concubine Tao Xian was helpless. Even though she said this, she still sat down, and then let out a long sigh, her face full of worry.
"Auntie, what are you worried about? I'm just a leader of the East Palace..." Tao Jingyi tried to comfort her, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Concubine Tao Xian.
"It's just a Dong Gong Zuo leader, how can it be so simple? This Dong Gong Zuo leader is Lu Guang! Lu Guang, you don't know, right?"
Concubine Tao Xian really couldn't calm down. She felt depressed when she thought that the prince had received such great help out of thin air, and if there was any divine help in the future.
Lu Guang, how could it be Lu Guang? It was obvious that Lu Guang had already retreated bravely, so why did he re-enter the court? Isn't it good for Mingzhe to protect himself?
Could it be that I am older and can no longer carry it clearly?
Tao Jingyi really didn't think this was a big deal, but she still said with a hearty smile: "Aunt, so what if it's Lu Guang? With His Royal Highness receiving such great help, the people who are most anxious will not be us. Besides, Zuo Led of the East Palace, What does it have to do with us...?"
Concubine Tao Xian's eyes widened and she felt strange: "How come it doesn't matter? You know, I am under my knees..."
Seeing Tao Jingyi's smiling face, for some reason, Tao Xianfei couldn't continue talking.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that when Jingyi smiled, there was an inexplicable similarity with Jiang Zhao, which always made her feel tingly inside.
But... what she said is true!
You know, she also has a tenth prince under her knees. Although the tenth prince is still young, he will... grow up. He is naturally opposite to the prince. Isn't she planning for a rainy day for her son?
Tao Jingyi was still smiling, but her voice was much lower: "Aunt, my grandfather said that His Highness is still young. Aunt just needs to take care of him and grow up safely. Don't think too much about other things, let alone express them. come out."
She couldn't help but think again that her aunt was able to become one of the four concubines, which was really thanks to the help from her family.
In other words, the harem is relatively clean, otherwise, with my aunt's temperament, I'm afraid...
Seeing Concubine Tao Xian, she was still very worried. She patiently explained: "Auntie, the Emperor has made a decree and the matter has been decided. Even if you are anxious, you can't change anything. What's more..."
"How do you know that it must be the crown prince's help for Lu Guang to assume the position of Zuo Lian of the East Palace?"
At this moment, Concubine Tao Xian became interested, and she immediately answered: "How do you say this?"
Tao Jingyi smiled and said: "Auntie, think on the bright side, maybe this Lu Guang was sent by the emperor to restrain the prince? With Lu Guang's prestige, the 20,000 soldiers leading the East Palace will eventually be the prince. ?"
Concubine Tao Xian paused for a moment, and then she felt enlightened. She couldn't help laughing and said, "That's right, that's it! This may not be a good thing for the prince."
Tao Jingyi looked at Concubine Tao Xian with a smile, but her mood was not as calm as it seemed.
What she didn't tell her aunt was that these words were spoken by His Highness Changding.
Xu wanted to use her words to remind her aunt. After learning that she had entered the palace, His Highness seemed to have accidentally mentioned the matter of Zuo Lute in the East Palace.
Yu Youtang, the leader of the East Palace Zuo, had an accident in Wuge, and His Highness Chang Ding was later called into the palace. Although Tao Jingyi did not know what happened specifically, she had a vague feeling that something happened to Yu Youtang, perhaps with His Highness Chang Ding. related.
But she had no evidence and no need to check.
What happened to Yu Youtang and Dong Gong Zuo led her to have anything to do with her and the Tao family?
But His Highness specifically called her out and talked about this matter, so there must be some reason.
Furthermore, she really felt that her aunt didn't have to worry. There were many people who were more anxious than her aunt.
She, her aunt, and even the Tao family should take it calmly like His Highness Chang Ding did.
But Tao Jingyi didn't know that Zheng Ji's heart was also ups and downs at this moment.
Zheng Ji knew very well that Lu Guang's appointment as the leader of the East Palace was just a signal.
She believed that Lu Guang would not stay in the position of Zuo leader of the East Palace for too long. The reason why his father asked Lu Guang to serve as an official again must be for the sake of the Beiya Imperial Guards.
It turns out that without Yu Youtang, my father’s new candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army was actually Lu Guang! ——A person she never expected.
After realizing this, Zheng Ji's heart sank heavily.
If Lu Guang becomes an official, it will be difficult to deal with Dou Cong.
God's calculations are not as good as those of others. She really did not expect that her father would persuade Lu Guang to join the court again.
It is too difficult to compete with Lu Guang for the position of commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army!
"First update!"
