After listening to Li Hao's words, Gu Tingye didn't feel strange at all.
After all, since Li Hao was unwilling to tell others about the collusion between the Rong family and King Yan, he, as an insider, was naturally the best candidate to enter the palace.
In addition, I have the experience of entering the palace last time, so I can get things done with ease this time.
So he said, "Okay, I will take care of this matter."
You should go quickly. While I have some free time now, I want to spend time with Sister Rong and Brother Chang, so I won’t entertain you. "
After hearing this, Li Hao was a little speechless for a moment, but he thought that Gu Tingye would be really busy for a while, so he didn't bother him to spend time with his children.
But when Li Hao came out, he really didn't know who to look for for a while. It wasn't Xiu Mu today, Yan Fu was still on duty at the Yamen.
As for his subordinates, most of them were from noble families. Li Hao really didn't want to visit them if nothing happened.
After all, his reputation as a month old has spread far and wide, and he is quite popular among lower-level officials.
But for those high-ranking dignitaries, I don't know how many people are worried that they will abduct their children, so if they really come to visit them for nothing, I'm afraid they won't look good.
So after thinking about it for a while, Li Hao still went to drag Xu Ning out to Fan Lou for a drink, and quietly returned to the house late at night.
The next day, I got up very early in the morning. I purposely finished washing myself and went to the western suburbs camp before Mrs. Wei got up.
Since then, he has maintained the habit of leaving early and returning late, and from time to time he would rest directly in the camp.
It was not until more than ten days later that Li Hao finally returned to his normal schedule when he heard from Li Jian that Wei was not so anxious.
It was at this time that the reward promised by Zhao Zhen finally came, and the palace officials brought the imperial edict and gold, silver and silk to the western suburbs camp.
In this reward, a lot of money was first given to the imperial army, and this part was directly used by Li Hao to distribute to the soldiers below.
As for the generals like Li Hao, they all received an additional year's salary, and all of them were awarded honors. Li Hao was given the title of Cavalry Commander, Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan were given the title of Fei Cavalry Commander, and the others were also added according to their ranks. Big and small, Yunqiwei and Wuqiwei were added respectively.
Of course, this honor sounds nice, but in fact it is of no use. It does not represent a job position, and there is no salary to be paid.
What caught Li Hao's attention the most, and what pleased others, was the last part of the decree. The officials specifically allowed the imperial army to select a battalion of 500 people to accompany them to the palace.
Perhaps for the soldiers below, it's just another place to serve as soldiers.
But for the Lord's children, this means that they can appear more often by the Emperor's side, which means that it will be easier to be promoted in the future.
So this also brought up a question, who should lead the imperial army into the palace.
Although Li Hao has already thought about letting Gu Tingye be the leader of the team, he still has to find a way to be convincing, and for other positions for which there are no specific candidates, Li Hao doesn't mind letting them compete fairly.
So Li Hao first called everyone together to discuss the matter.
After everyone arrived, Li Hao first asked: "Who wants to enter the palace this time? Come forward first."
….
Then after waiting for a while, I found that no one wanted to stand up out of concern for face.
So Li Hao asked again: "Who doesn't want to go to the palace this time? Come forward."
This time he didn't come out, so Li Hao simply said: "Since everyone wants to go, but there are not so many places to enter the palace, then I have to choose."
Everyone had no objection to this, so they said, "This is no problem, I just don't know how to choose."
Hearing this, Li Hao stated the rules he was thinking of: "First of all, this battalion of soldiers needs to be selected from the entire army and the best 500 people are selected, but this can be discussed later.
As for the candidate for the commander-in-chief, after all, he will occupy the position of the Imperial Guard when he enters the palace this time, so he will inevitably be squeezed out, so it is impossible for the battalion commander to actually use it.
noodle.
The candidates for the battalion commander this time were selected from Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye. The two of them would compete and the winner would enter the palace. "
The two of them had no objections to this rule, and it was in line with Li Hao's expectations. After all, although Yang Wenyuan was good at martial arts, it all depended on who he was competing with.
Compared with Gu Tingye's existence, Yang Wenyuan was still inferior after all, so Li Hao was not worried.
Then Li Hao said: "In addition to the battalion commander, there are also the positions of deputy commander, Duyuhou and five heads. Among the deputy commanders, only battalion commanders and above can participate in the competition. Duyuhou is the deputy commander. Deputy commanders and above can participate, but there is no restriction for the captain.
Therefore, if the commanders of the five battalions feel that they cannot compete for the position of deputy commander, they can also compete for the next-level position. However, in order to maintain fairness, everyone has only one choice opportunity, so you can make up your mind.
As for the time of the competition, it will be set in three days. After the officer team is formed, they will select the personnel. Now you can all go down and prepare.
But there is an ugly thing I can say at the beginning. Working in the palace is no better than being in the camp. Don’t just think about the benefits and forget about the harms. If you really make a mistake, I can’t help you. It’s up to you. It's up to you. "
After hearing this, everyone calmed down a bit, but after all, no one wanted to quit.
After that, everyone retreated, and Li Hao left behind Yang Wenyuan, Gu Tingye, Xu Ning and Yuan Wenshao.
Li Hao said: "It is naturally a good thing to accompany you to the palace, but the imperial army still needs someone to manage it.
So Wen Yuan and Zhong Huai, after you two compete, the rest of you can stay and help me control the imperial army.
As for Xu Ning and Wen Shao, the same is true. You two have to leave me alone. Is there any problem? "
Seeing that the four of them had no objections, Li Hao asked them to retreat and prepare.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Hao vaguely felt that it was very noisy outside, so he got up and left the camp.
When I came out, I immediately realized that the whole camp was in full swing. Everyone was practicing hard and trying to get a chance.
In this regard, Li Hao is naturally happy to see the success. Anyway, if these people are really good at it, they will work for him.
So he went back to the camp to wash up, and then rested for a while before heading to the palace. When the imperial edict was announced yesterday, he mentioned that Li Hao should enter the palace today.
….
Of course, Li Hao thought he was just going to express gratitude this time, but when Li Hao entered the palace gate, he looked at the eyes of the surrounding guards.
I can't help but worry about Gu Tingye. It seems that if this neighbor relationship is not handled well, he will be in some trouble.
However, before Li Hao had time to think about it, he had already arrived outside Chui Gong Hall. After the internal officials went in to report, they were never summoned. Li Hao thought Zhao Zhen was busy with something.
But after a while, Rong Xian also walked over from outside the palace, and Li Hao thought that Zhao Zhen was preparing to help him ease the relationship.
So after Rong Xian arrived, Li Hao first said hello to Rong Xian, and Rong Xian's attitude was not as bad as Li Hao imagined, and he replied very politely.
He also said: "In the martial arts review two days ago, your Imperial Guards completely outperformed the Imperial Guards, especially the neat formation, which really opened my eyes."
Seeing Rong Xian's attitude, Li Hao was a little confused, wondering whether Rong Xian was telling the truth or trying to confuse himself.
But after all, he didn't think about it, so he answered politely: "What Commander Rong said, if we talk about the real ability, the Royal Camp Army is still inferior to the Imperial Guard Army.
It was a coincidence that he won that day, so Rong ordered not to take it to heart. "
Rongxian replied: "If you win, you win, and I'm not someone who can't afford to lose.
After the imperial army enters the palace, I plan to ask you how to practice your array march. Mr. Li will not hide it and refuse to teach you. "
Li Hao hurriedly said: "Rong ordered me to make a joke. If you are willing to let people learn this little trick, there is no reason not to teach it."
Rongxian smiled after hearing this, and then asked: "By the way, have you decided who will join the palace, or is it the second son of the Gu family?"
Li Hao replied: "The candidate has not been decided yet, because this time is different from the last temporary assignment, so the people below are somewhat active, so I don't want to force the appointment, so as not to complain.
So let them compete on their own and compete fairly. It will probably take a few days to decide on the specific candidates. "
Rong Xian nodded and said, "That's true. If you forcefully decide on a candidate, some people will inevitably be dissatisfied. It's better to do it this way."
Then, while the two were chatting about trivial matters, Cao Jingxiu also came over, and the two of them saluted quickly.
At this time, the internal officials in the palace may have seen that everyone had arrived, so they came out and allowed the three people to enter the palace.
After meeting Zhao Zhen, all three of them were given seats.
After he was seated, Zhao Zhen said: "The reason why I recruit you into the palace today is to discuss the permanent residence of the first battalion of the imperial army in the palace.
Because this matter involves the Royal Camp Army and the Imperial Guard, and both of them belong to the Imperial City Division, Cai summoned all three of you. "
After roughly explaining the reason, Zhao Zhen first asked Li Hao: "Li Qing's family, have you chosen the battalion that will enter the palace?"
Li Hao replied: "Reporting to the official family, because it is a supreme honor for a minister to enter the palace and accompany him, so all my subordinates want to participate, and it is not easy for me to undermine their loyalty to serve the official family.
….
In addition, I believe that those who enter the palace to escort must be smart and capable, so I set up an arena in the army and let them compete to select the best candidate to enter the palace. It will probably take a few days. . "
Zhao Zhen was satisfied with Li Hao's words, which at least reflected Li Hao's importance, so he said, "You are considered thoughtful. I'll wait until you finish your selection."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhen asked Cao Jingxiu: "As for the responsibilities of this battalion of the Imperial Army, you can discuss it with the Rongqing family."
After hearing this, Cao Jingxiu glanced at Rong Xian first, and then said: "I have already discussed with Commander Rong, because there are not many people in the Imperial Army Battalion. If you want to protect the palace wall, you will have to contact the imperial guards." The army was mixed together.
Although both armies are official officials and belong to the Imperial City Division, they are ultimately under different affiliations. Therefore, after discussing with Commander Rong, I decided to let the imperial army guard the inner court alone.
The guarding of the outer court and palace walls was still left to the Praetorian Guards. "
After listening to Cao Jingxiu's words, Zhao Zhen did not respond directly, but said to Rong Xian: "After all, you have been responsible for the defense of the palace for many years. Naturally, I can rest assured that you are doing things. In addition to what Cao Tiju just said, do you still have something to do? What’s your opinion?”
But what can Rongxian say at this time? If he says it, he will offend Cao Jingxiu for nothing! Naturally, I could only nod in agreement, so the matter was settled.
Of course, this is also in line with Li Hao's expectations, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with various things if he really got mixed up with the Imperial Guards.
Moreover, when guarding the inner court, you can directly hold Zhao Zhen in your hands, making it easy to move in and out. The only pity is that the palace gate guards have no one to place themselves in. It may be a bit troublesome to enter the palace, but this can only I'll figure it out later.
After clarifying these matters, Zhao Zhen left Rongxian alone to talk, presumably to appease him.
As for Li Hao and Cao Jingxiu, they came out of Chui Gong Hall together, but Cao Jingxiu still had to see the queen, so Li Hao left the palace alone and returned to the camp.
Two days passed quickly, and the selection day ushered in the imperial camp.
Of course, this selection didn't take long in total. It started at Jishi and ended at Shenshi.
The candidates selected did not go beyond Li Hao's expectations. Gu Tingye easily defeated Yang Wenyuan and got the position of battalion commander.
As for the others, Xu Ning won the title of Marquis of Yu, Zhu Liangzu became the deputy commander, and the other five governors were Cao Xing, Cheng Guosheng, Ye Sheng, Jin Chaoxing, and Li Yixing.
Of course leftover
There is also a consolation prize for those who have not left. After all, there are many vacant seats among those who have left.
First of all, Yang Wenyuan's position remained unchanged, but Yuan Wenshao was transferred to Gu Tingye's current position, and Zhang Wen and Cao Zhen served as the deputies of Yang Wenyuan and Yuan Wenshao.
The rest of the people who could be promoted have been promoted to one level, which at least ensures that all the Lord's disciples have been promoted to the battalion level, and there is no more Dutou. This can be regarded as happy for everyone.
After the people who entered the palace were gathered together, Li Hao went into the palace to report and told Gu Tingye and others about their specific responsibilities.
After getting permission, he personally sent them to the palace. He was busy helping with everything along the way. Even the affairs in the camp could only be temporarily entrusted to Yang Wenyuan and Yuan Wenshao.
However, this busyness is not unrewarded. At least Li Hao has an extra card to enter the palace, which will make it much easier to enter the palace in the future.
After finally finishing the work, and at the same time the camp was basically stable, Li Hao finally had time to continue training with his troops and prepare for future turmoil.
Of course, leisure at work does not mean peace at home.
I don’t know why, but after a period of silence, the Wei family started to promote Li Hao’s marriage again, forcing Li Hao to live in the camp for several days without returning home.
The next days were spent with Li Hao training soldiers and catching and hiding with the Wei clan. The only change was that Zhang Wen took leave at this time and accompanied Mrs. Song to Youyang to deal with the recruitment issue.
However, the matter went smoothly. It took two months for Zhang Wen to return to Bianjing. When he came back, his face was full of joy. For this reason, everyone even gave Zhang Wen a drink.
However, in the midst of this calm, news came from Bianjing, which immediately attracted Li Hao's attention.
The official family finally couldn't defeat the two great ministers, and they had made up their minds to make King Yong the crown prince.
When the news came, Li Hao knew that a great chaos in Bianjing was about to begin, and he should prepare himself to see how he could get out of the fire.
The world of film and television begins with whether you know it or not.
