Chapter 6 The Imperial Guard Colonel

On February 15, 2018, the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty held a colonel of imperial guards, and the Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty personally came to review the imperial guards. After this review, an event for promotion of officers will also be held, and a competition will be held. Many imperial guards will take advantage of this opportunity to get their hands on their hands and want to obtain official positions through the competition. The imperial guards at this time in the Tang Dynasty were composed of the left and right Qianniu Guards, the left and right gate guards, and the Beimen Tun Army. The left and right Qianniu Guards are the personal guards of the emperor's inner siege, responsible for serving the emperor as

The guards also have a guard of honor. The left and right gate guards are guards responsible for the periphery of the palace and rarely follow the emperor's actions. The left and right gate guards are also responsible for guarding the four gates of Xuanwu, Zhuque, Qinglong and White Tiger in the palace. The Zhuque Gate is the south gate, which is the main gate of Taiji Palace. However, although Zhuque Gate is the main gate, it is far inferior to the northern gate Xuanwu Gate in the history of the Tang Dynasty. The Xuanwu Gate in the history of the Tang Dynasty can be said to have influenced the progress of several historical stages of the Tang Dynasty. Several coups in the entire Tang Dynasty originated from Xuanwu Gate.

As for the Beimen Tun Army, it is an army stationed at the Xuanwu Gate of Beimen, which had about 20,000 people. The Beimen Tun Army was formed by the soldiers who volunteered to follow Li Yuan and their descendants when the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Yuan raised an army against the Sui Dynasty. The Beimen Tun Army can actually be said to be the most loyal armed force to the lobby royal family, so it has always been very important. However, according to the unspoken rules, the Beimen Tun Army generally only obeyed the emperor's orders, and no one could mobilize them without the emperor's handwritten orders. Even if the prince encountered danger in front of them, they would remain indifferent, because they would not be able to move without the emperor's orders. It was precisely because of this that Li Shimin was able to successfully implement the Xuanwu Gate mutiny, which was because the neutrality of the Beimen Tun Army caused this result.

"Have you met the emperor!" More than 20,000 soldiers saluted Emperor Li Yuan together.

"rise!"

With the order of the official Pianli, more than 20,000 soldiers rose up together.

Li Yuan was very excited when he looked at the more than 20,000 soldiers. Because it was nine years since Wude, the Tang Dynasty had swept the world and put down all rebellions. Now, except for the last separatist force, Liang Shi, is still surviving, and the other world has completely belonged to the Tang Dynasty. The general trend of the Tang Dynasty unifying the world can no longer be stopped, so Li Yuan looked at this majestic army and seemed to see that his great cause was about to be completed and he was about to become a true founding emperor.

"Soldiers, I have been the emperor since I ascended the throne nine years ago..."

Li Yuan actually began to recall the journey he had gone along, and he said a lot of good things about making achievements. Listening to Li Yuan's words below, Chen Fei came and went and heard a meaning, that is, to follow the emperor Li Yuan and have meat to eat.

"Damn, have you been playing? These bullshit and stinky leaders' speeches have actually been in tradition since ancient times, your grandfather's!" Chen Fei murmured in his heart.

Although Chen Fei was very unhappy, he dared not express it. After all, this was in ancient times, not to mention the democratic era of later generations. Not to mention the silence, it doesn’t matter even if he scolds officials. But it doesn’t work here. If Chen Fei dares to silence it casually, then what is waiting for him will be severe punishment. And there is also a quiet surroundings. How could Chen Fei have the courage to open his mouth and recite it? Therefore, even if Chen Fei has any dissatisfaction, he can only be a ninja turtle.

After about an hour, two hours in later generations, Li Yuan, who was dancing in love, finally stopped his foot binding as if he was an old lady - a smelly and long speech.

"Now, I announce that the imperial guards competition has begun." Li Yuan said.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!..."

Dear soldiers finally began to shout long live, and it is not popular in this era to applaud, so everyone can only shout.

Soon, all the imperial guards began to disperse and were preparing to participate in the competition that was about to begin. This competition will select a group of people and can be awarded official positions to become official positions. That is, to officially become formal officials of the court, it is considered to be the beginning of the career of officialdom. Many people want to fight for this opportunity, because for most people who do not have much culture, joining the army is a shortcut to make a name for themselves. The selection of officers in the army is even greater. If you don’t become an officer, you must follow the rules of the court and be a soldier for your whole life. Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers. Anyone who has a little ability and wants to become an officer will not miss this imperial guards. Because this is the opportunity to become an officer every year, it is considered the "independence examination" among the imperial guards.

"I want to participate in archery, please count me one!" Chen Fei said.

"Chen Jun, do you want to participate in archery? Can you drive the 'Nine Stone Bow'?" someone immediately smiled.

Chen Fei and Chang He bet that the news that he wanted to open the nine stone bow had already spread among the imperial guards. Everyone sneered at Chen Fei's overestimation of his ability. Chen Fei, a literati, actually wanted to open the nine stone bow. Isn't this here to steal everyone's job? In the Tang Dynasty army, every soldier had to be able to open the bow. According to the ratio of the crossbows of the Tang Dynasty army, it reached 120%. In other words, as long as it was the Tang Dynasty army, no matter what kind of military it was, there would definitely be a long-range weapon such as a crossbow. Therefore, crossbows were a must-examination project for the Tang Dynasty army. Now Chen Fei is also here to take the crossbows exam, which makes everyone feel like they were snatched by literati.

"That's right, I just want to participate. I am also a member of the left-level guard. I should be qualified to participate in the university, right?" Chen Fei asked.

"Since Chen Zhanjun is going to participate, let's see how Chen Zhanjun pulled the 'Nine Stone Bow'." Someone said immediately.

Since Chen Fei took the initiative to come and embarrass him, they naturally had no intention of stopping him. This is the legendary neglect of civil and military officials. Since a civil servant chose to come and embarrass him, they had no idea of ​​stopping him. And that guy also added accent to the so-called "Jiushi Bow". Obviously, he was very suspicious of Chen Fei's previous claim to pull the Jiushi Bow.
