Chapter 48 Zuo Qianniu, Captain Baiqi
the other side.
Because Li Shimin was annoyed, everyone in the hall dispersed, but when they left, everyone looked at Qin Lang with a look of fun, which made him very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Lao Cheng took good care of him and took him out of the East Palace to the Imperial City first, and into the Yamen of the Left and Right Mansions.
"This Zuoyoufu was originally the Sui Dynasty's Zuobeishenfu, and the Zuobeishenfu was originally affiliated to the Zuolingling Zuofu. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the left and right Beishenfu was restored to the Zuolingling Zuofu. Later, it was divided into the left and right leading guards and the left and right mansions, and the left and right mansions are in charge of guarding the emperor, and your thousand-ox body is under the jurisdiction of the left and right mansions."
Qin Lang is the Qianniu Beishen handpicked by Li Shimin, who belongs to the Zuo Mansion and is a sixth-rank bodyguard.
Cheng Yaojin brought him here, that is, to recognize a yamen to report a report, and by the way to receive his own equipment, the most important of which is naturally the Thousand Bull Sword.
One knife can cut a thousand bulls, and it is extremely sharp, so it is called Qianniu knife, also known as imperial equipment. Under normal circumstances, courtiers are not allowed to bring swords when they meet the emperor, unless they are special ministers with special skills. Wearing the sword on the shoes to go to the hall, other people have to take off their shoes and take off their swords to see the emperor.
Among the guards around the emperor, except Qianniu Beishen, Beishen left and right, and Beishen, who can carry guards with imperial equipment, the rest of the guards can actually only carry swords, which are wooden ceremonial swords.
"The Qianniu bodyguards holding the Qianniu sword have a total of twelve members, the left and right sides of the bodyguards holding the bow and arrow are also twelve members, and the other forty members. These people are divided into three divisions, and the guards on the upper division have two days off a day."
Qianniu prepares a class of four people.
After receiving the Qianniu knife, there is also the guard uniform of Qianniu, with two feathers inserted in the hat, and wild horses embroidered on the clothes, which is very beautiful.
The General of the Zuo Mansion is a marquis. He was a little embarrassed when facing Qin Lang, a subordinate of the Duke, so he briefly introduced him and left.
A Zuofu chief Shi took him to meet the other three in his class.
They are all the sons of Xunqi, Liu Renshi, the son of Ren Guogong and You Xiaowei General Liu Hongji.
Chai Lingwu, the son of General Zuo Xiaowei, Huo Guogong Chai Shao and the late Princess Pingyang Zhao.
Li Xiaoyi, General Zuo Wuwei, son of King Huai'an, has the Duke of Liang County in his body.
The three of them were all descendants of top honored relatives. When they saw Qin Lang coming over with a Thousand Bull Sword, they were all stunned for a moment, and looked at Qin Lang differently.
"Brother Chai, we meet again."
Qin Lang was also a little surprised to see Chai Lingwu, but it was just a surprise. Anyway, Chai Lingwu's father was Li Shimin's brother-in-law. Although he supported the prince before, now he has a large army in his hand. As long as he doesn't fight to the death and rebel, Then you will still be rich.
"Isn't this Qin Sanlang, aren't you in Zuo Xunwei?"
"That was in the past, Chai Erlang didn't work in Zuo Mansion before."
After chatting for a few words, they bid farewell to each other. Qin Lang will be on duty after three days, and the guards will rest for two days a day. However, Qin Lang couldn't be idle if he wasn't on duty today. He still had errands for the head of the north gate and the chief inspector An County Magistrate, not to mention an errand for walking under the gate, so he had to be on call.
"I'll take you to Beimen camp." Lao Cheng asked Qin Lang on the road, "You and Chai Er don't get along?"
"It's nothing, it's just a small dispute between young people who are jealous."
"Although the Chai family supports the prince, their status will not change after this incident. Among the noble generals of the Tang Dynasty, the Chai family still occupies a very important position. If you are fine, don't fight with Chai Er anymore. This kind of dandyism also loses your current status as Yi Guogong." Old Cheng laughed.
"Uncle Cheng, you are joking. I, the Duke of Yi, can't be anything, but it's just a false title."
Old Cheng smiled. He fought for half his life and fought for the Tang Dynasty for several years before he got the Duke of the Su Kingdom. Compared with Qin Lang, the Duke of the Yi Kingdom came too easily.
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, there is a camp at the North Gate.
The left battalion, the right battalion, the left battalion and the right battalion were stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate. After the death of Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, Li Shimin appointed the most elite Xuanwu cavalry and Tiance's personal soldiers under his command to guard the Xuanwu gate, and Chang He served as the left battalion. General Zhonglang, Zhang Gongjin served as General Zhonglang of Youtunying.
The two of them welcomed Qin Lang's arrival.
"Thanks to Saburo for the timely rescue yesterday."
"I saw the order from above. Sanlang, you now have two identities in the camp. One is one of His Highness's hundred cavalry. The other is that I am the captain of Zuo Tunying, and I am in charge of 200 Zuo Tunying fans. Soldiers of the old guard, you are on duty for one day and rest for two days, and the soldiers under your command are on duty every three to four months."
The barracks made of iron, the commander of the north gate who does not move, and the soldiers who run under the water. Qin Lang and the others were long-term guards. They were on duty for one shift in three days and two days off, while these camp soldiers took turns to be on duty, and it was their turn to serve for three or four months at a time.
It turned out that Tianzi Yuan was in charge of the Forbidden Army at the North Gate, but now they are all replaced by soldiers from the Tiance Mansion and the original King Qin's Mansion. The left and right camps each have 1,000 people on duty to guard the Xuanwu Gate.
"I know you have other errands, so we can stagger the schedule with you." Chang He said.
As the head of the North Gate, they are not only the prince's entourage, but also the officers of the camp.
Qin Lang could only smile wryly, "It seems that the schedule is really tight, I'm on duty in the palace for one day, then in the north gate for one day, and for the rest of the day, I have to go to work in the Chang'an county government office, and then I have to walk under the gate at any time. "
Chang He said, "Don't say it, you don't know how many people are envious of it, it's too late. What does this mean? It means that you are reused and trusted by His Highness."
Chang Hezai also worked very hard yesterday, but from guarding the Xuanwu Gate to commanding the Zuo Tunying, there has not been much change. Although the official reward has not yet come down, he must still have a big reward, but compared to Qin Lang It's still a lot worse. Qin Lang had already granted Duke Yi and Shangzhu Kingdom first. Although the grades of a few errands were not high, they were all errands that were highly trusted and valued, especially since he could always be by the prince's side.
"Actually, I really don't understand the training of troops." Qin Lang laughed, "I really don't know how this captain should be."
"Sanlang, don't be humble, there is no one else here. With your performance yesterday, who dares to say that you can't command the army. In fact, if you are not too young, the middle man in the camp would be inferior to you, you boy It is a natural general talent, young from blue is better than blue, although not as good as your father now, but definitely better than your father at this age." Zhang Gongjin also praised.
"Sanlang, I have chosen for you the two hundred soldiers in the regiment and brigade. They are all elite and brave soldiers. Many of them were soldiers under your father's command before, so you can take them with confidence."
