Before noon, Guo Shao left the imperial city and arrived at the left wing camp in the east.
The Palace Guard Commander, Palace Guard Commander, and other generals were all amazed, but Guo Shao's promotion to the highest military commander of the Imperial Guard was not the most concerned thing. Because Guo Shao was originally a high-ranking military commander of the Imperial Guard and a close confidant of the Queen Mother, his promotion was expected.
But Li Chuyun and Yang Biao were different. They were only military commanders before, and it was almost unbelievable that they jumped several levels and became high-ranking generals. Guo Shao took out the imperial edict with the imperial seal and let the noisy generals pass it around for observation. Only then did everyone confirm that it was true.
Guo Shao thought to himself: It has been said long ago that wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk. The only two generals who conspired together on the eve of the mutiny were Li Chuyun and Yang Biao. Two months later, it will be time to reward their merits.
Thank you for your cultivation. The usually calm Li Chuyun's face also glowed. I dare not refuse to serve you and sacrifice my life for you.
The Palace Front Commander was the position Zhao Kuangyin held before he fled. Zhao Kuangyin was promoted quickly. He was the Palace Front Commander in the first year after the Battle of Gaoping. He was promoted to Palace Front Commander after his meritorious service in the Battle of Huainan. But Li Chuyun was faster, but his military achievements were not as good as Zhao Kuangyin's. He relied on the most dangerous and critical mutiny.
The excitement of the generals was completely aroused. The huge rewards given to the two generals were a good example. In the left wing, everyone was very impressed by such rewards. Except for Guo Shao and Qi Tuo, the commander of the wing, the highest rank in the left wing was the commander of the army. The promotion should have been given to Li Chuyun first.
Regardless of their merits during the mutiny, they deserved the title based on their seniority. Yang Biao was the oldest person who defected to Guo Shao when he was in trouble, and Luo Mengzi was also a pity that he was not talented enough; Li Chuyun and others were also among the first group of people to defect.
Two months ago, we were ordered to protect the emperor, and we entrusted our lives to him, Guo Shao said to Li Chuyun.
He turned to look at Yang Biao. Yang Biao bowed and said: "Brother, you are the chief inspector of the palace, and I will follow you to be the chief guard of the palace. What's wrong with that?"
This guy is still the same temper, he won't say anything nice. Guo Shao patted his shoulder and said: I am more relieved about General Li, but my second brother must be more tolerant when he sees Shi Yanchao.
Yang Biao frowned, and Guo Shao immediately realized that his reminder was not superfluous. When Shi Yanchao killed innocent people in Jinyang, Yang Biao disliked Shi Yanchao very much; and Yang Biao's temper was not that good. By the way, Guo Shao remembered another time when Shi Yanchao forced Yang Biao to be his target, right on the southern wall of Tokyo.
Guo Shaoyu said earnestly: You should do what you are supposed to do in your position. Second brother, think about the importance of the Palace Guard in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since you are a high-ranking military commander, you must know the general situation.
Yang Biao said: "Brother, you have power now, why not find a reason to kill that guy?"
Kill everyone. Do we have to rely on these people to fight such a large imperial army? Remember what I said. I treat you two brothers the same, but I only entrust you with important tasks because I believe you are more sensible. Guo Shao said seriously, if you don't provoke Shi Yanchao, he also knows the rules and shouldn't go too far.
Guo Shao raised his head and looked back at the dozens of generals present, saying: Everyone has been arranged, but the Queen Mother only mentioned a few people in her decree. Soon the left wing will be renamed and called the Tiger Guard Army, divided into the left and right wings.
He turned around and found Dong Zunhui in the crowd. Dong Zunxun had just changed his name to avoid mentioning names after the new emperor Zongxun ascended the throne, and said: Dong Zunhui is temporarily the commander-in-chief of the left wing, and Luo Mengzi is temporarily the commander-in-chief of the right wing.
Dong Zunhui hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you for your cultivation, uncle." Guo Shao frowned slightly after hearing this. He was very annoyed to hear the word "uncle" for so long.
At this time Luo Mengzi said: I don't know how I got to such a high position. I just followed my elder brother wholeheartedly and became rich and famous without knowing it.
Everyone was stunned and sighed. Guo Shao was speechless. Arranging Luo Mengzi as the commander of Xiangdu was just to give him a position. He estimated that he would not be able to do anything under Yang Biao.
Guo Shao found Luo Yanhuan and said: If the Queen Mother does not reject my deployment in the future, General Luo should be promoted to the commander of the imperial guards. After that, he said: Li Chuyun, Yang Biao, Dong Zunhui, Luo Mengzi and the other four should report to the Dianqian Office tomorrow to arrange and reorganize the Tiger Guards.
After the celebration in the military camp and lunch, Li Chuyun hurriedly left the camp and went straight home.
He was very happy at home and accepted the congratulations from the concubine holding her child. After everyone left, Li Chuyun talked to his wife, daughter and family of three in secret.
The sworn brothers of the lord will not be as good as me in the future. Li Chuyun's face was flushed, and his tone was very different from his usual tone. Power and status can make people ecstatic. He turned his head to look at Li Xiaoniang and said in a deep voice, "I used to think that Yuan'er was willful and naughty in her maiden name, but today I understand that my father's eyes are not as good as my daughter's."
Li Xiaoniang said softly: "Father, what do you mean by that?"
Li Chuyun said: From now on you will be invaluable, which is a thousand times better than marrying those talented scholars in Guanzhong.
The lady finally understood and became nervous: Alang must not do such scary things again.
Li Chuyun laughed and said: What else should we do now? The Queen Mother in the court is from the family of the lord's father-in-law, and the lord is already second only to the emperor. The situation is so obvious that even a blind man can understand it now.
Madam said: There are so many people in the world, and there are also many high-ranking officials in Tokyo. Shao Ge'er is not afraid that they will not obey.
Li Chuyun said: Whoever is dissatisfied or not has to ask the brothers whether they agree or not. We have already taken our positions and we are not pushovers.
Li Yuaner said softly: How do I know that he can be like this now? It's not for his glory and wealth. Back in Bingzhou, he was just an ordinary imperial army general.
Not really. Yuan'er naturally didn't want to be famous because of him, but you picked so many people and didn't like them, why did you only like him? This is a test of vision. Li Chuyun smiled.
He stood up and chanted in front of the window with great confidence: The mountains and hills are like a gathering, the waves are like raging, the mountains and rivers are inside and outside the Tongguan Road. Looking at the Western Capital, I am hesitant. I am sad that the palaces of Qin and Han have turned to dust. When the country prospers, the people suffer; when it perishes, the people suffer
Li Yuan'er said unhappily from behind: It's such a shame that my father sang this poem so proudly.
Li Chuyun turned around and said calmly: "The rise and fall of a country can only be controlled by those in power, and only those who have compassion for the people can do so. If you are just a commoner, how can you care about the suffering of the people? My little girl is well-educated and kind-hearted, and she will definitely be able to help govern the world in the future."
Li Chuyun came back and whispered: Before I take you as my concubine, do not do anything immoral with him. After you enter the house, do not go out easily unless you are pregnant.
Father Li Yuaner blushed.
Li Chuyun, however, had a serious look on his face. Judging from his expression, he was still the strict head of the family as before.
