Chapter 46 Pink Ink Debut
When Li Shimin saw the touching scene of these sergeants, he took the initiative to " plead for mercy" with Qin Mubai. Let's talk about whether the assessment criteria can be appropriately relaxed. Especially in the first assessment, can you consider opening a special case without eliminating people? Otherwise, it would be a pity that such a good 300 soldiers would be fired!
Qin Mubai rejected the emperor very "unreasonable", saying that the military order is the military order, and the rules are the rules. If everyone is finally selected, isn't it a great injustice to those who practice harder and get better? If you train again in the future, no one will be willing to work hard. Elimination and competition will be the eternal melody of hundreds of riders in the future. In this way, the whole army will become more mature and progressive.
Li Shimin, the emperor who led the army, didn't say much. After shaking his head and sighing, he sighed: "This boy is really cruel enough. He is a material for doing great things. Sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person! In the future, will there be a more elite army than Baiqi in the world?
The examination method promulgated in advance, everyone had the same training day and night, and the completely fair examination. In the end, the people who stayed behind were very happy, and the people who left were convinced and reluctant to give up.
Even a group of people who were very wrong with Qin Mubai at the beginning, such as Sun Fu and Yu Chi Baoyun, although they still didn't have any good impression on him, they could only be secretly convinced of Qin Mubai in their hearts.
In three months, Qin Mubai has completely become the unique supreme commander and spiritual leader in the Hundred Horses Army. No one can shake his authority. Everyone, including his "enemy" Chang Sun Feng and others, has to bow down to him.
After a few days of rest and deployment, the new Baiqi can finally officially take office.
Li Shimin's expectation and preference for this Hundred-rider army is beyond ordinary. He ordered the people of the Ordnance Department to work overtime for days to make a batch of the most gorgeous and high-end armored weapons, which were distributed as a special assembly unique to Baiqi.
Clear golden bright armor, white robe and white satin, each armor helmet can clearly print a figure. What is different is that the left breastplate of each armor and the scabbard of the saber are engraved with a "Kirin Military Beast Totem", which symbolizes a hundred riders, which is also the symbol of their medals and honors.
And Qin Mubai, the supreme officer of Baiqi, in addition to gold armor and other things, also specially gave him a fiery red golden silk robe with Kirin. And on his robe, there is also a golden dragon with five claws - a five claws golden dragon, which is the symbol of the emperor's special flag. This has also become a special symbol of Qin Mubai, a hundred riders. As long as he wears this cloak robe, Qin Mubai can walk freely in any corner of the palace, stay with the emperor with a knife, and do anything at any time to protect the emperor - for example, decisively draw a knife and then play in a critical moment, killing someone who may pose a threat to the emperor.
In this way, the special status, status and functional authority of the Baiqi envoy are enough to make some famous ministers and generals of the dynasty jealous and afraid.
Famous generals, there is only covetedness and fear. They all knew in their hearts that when the emperor formed such a new army, all the young newcomers were selected, and their intentions and purpose were very clear. First of all, when the emperor chooses people, he is always selected in the clan. Leaving the children of the generals with them is very good for tiding, uniting and controlling those ministers.
In addition, most young people are relatively simple, easy to ** and brainwash, making them absolutely loyal to the emperor. And those ministers and generals who have been in the officialdom for more than ten years can't. They have been fooling around for too long. They are all human spirits. Moreover, among the families of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who are not very close to each other, and there are many personal grievances between them.
Such a person is too complicated and thinks too much. He is hesitant when he thinks about things, and his mind is full of interests. The private guard that Li Shimin wants should be a team that is decisive and only obeys the emperor's order. There is no need for smooth and sophisticated, the only requirement is to obey!
Therefore, Qin Mubai's dedication to Li Shimin made him very satisfied, which coincided with his original intention and even far exceeded his expectations.
One day in summer, Baiqi finally made an official debut.
On this day, in the early morning of the emperor, Qin Mubai and the deputy envoy Sun Fu, with a hundred riders of 100 people, came to the Daming Palace to welcome the emperor's holy driver, went to the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace, and went to the court.
The emperor took the dragon chalice, Qin Mubai and Changsun Xie, two hundred-rider officers, boarded the dragon chaisen with a knife on the left and right. Hundreds of horsemen surrounded the emperor, and the soldiers of Jinwuwei were under the banner of the emperor, and hundreds of people went to the Taiji Palace.
In the past, these tasks were all Jin Wuwei's. Now seeing a team of hundred-rider sergeants separating them from the emperor, Jin Wuwei's people are inevitably unhappy. But since they are all imperial troops, they all know the special status of Baiqi in the emperor's mind, and at the same time, they have also heard of the power of Baiqi. Therefore, if they are not happy, they dare not express any dissatisfaction.
"What can I do? They have the capital of cattle!"
The emperor went to court. Qin Mubai and Changsun Fan, one step behind the emperor, walked to the Jinluan Hall before the eunuch, and stood in front of the hall with a knife and crossed his waist. The other hundred horsemen and soldiers stood outside the inner hall with knives for the nearest protection of Li Shimin. In the past, this function should have been performed by Qian Niuwei. Now, Qianniuwei's soldiers have been sent to stand guard on the Longwei Road outside the Golden Hall. The Yulinwei, the largest and most famous Yulin guard in the imperial army, is located around the Taiji Palace, five steps, one sentry, ten steps and one guard, and the whole palace is heavily guarded against the law.
As the emperor said, no matter how the garrison around him is changed in the future, Baiqi will always be the closest to him.
The civil and military officials stepped into the court one after another. They all turned their eyes to the Baiqi who had just appeared, and paid more attention to Qin Mubai and Changsun Huang, the two closest ministers to the emperor, standing in front of the emperor.
At present, it is impossible for Qin Mubai to know everyone in the literary and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty. Yes, everyone knew him without a doubt.
In the court, the ministers wrote the books one by one. At this time, Qin Mubai also remembered a few prominent characters. For example, the well-known Zhenguan Xiangfang Xuanling. In the early years, when Li Shimin was still the king of Qin, the three most important counselors around him were his brother, Sun Wuji, and the other was "Fang Mou Du Du Duan" - Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.
Du Ruhui died six or seven years ago. Now, Fang Xuanling, who is resourceful and loyal, is one of Li Shimin's most trusted arms.
Fang Xuanling is in his early fifties this year. He is a kind-looking and kind-looking person. He is not tall and fat. He is not in a hurry, calm and powerful. Seeing and speaking always gives people a unique feeling. In a short period of early morning, he was praised by Li Shimin several times, saying that he was far-sighted and loyal to the country and set an example for all officials.
Qin Mubai stood in front of the Jinluan Hall to escort him. Although he did not have the power to participate in politics, the emperor's discussion with these people was heard in his ears.
Listening to these most knowledgeable and capable politicians in the world today, Qin Mubai felt that this was more rewarding than reading tens of thousands of books. Here, it is simply the highest university in the world that can't be met and can't be reached with money. Therefore, he sometimes thinks that even if I am a wick, I will listen to the scriptures and talk about the Buddha in front of the Buddha's seat all day long, and one day I will realize that I will achieve excellence.
The court will break up, and the emperor will leave first. Qin Mubai and Changsun Huang followed the emperor and entered from the emperor's dragon gate on the side of the Jinluan Hall. Other civil and military ministers lined up in a neat line and retreated from the front door.
After getting off the court, Li Shimin went straight to the imperial study of Wude Hall and approved some medals. At this time, Qin Mubai, the highest officer, can "activit freely". Baiqi implements a typical "three shifts". The three deputy envoys handed over their shifts on time every day. Qin Mubai, the envoy, is free to arrange his work without the emperor's special task assignment. You can lead the team in person, or you can handle other military affairs in the Baiqi camp.
Moreover, Baiqi also has a strict leave system to ensure that every general has a few days off every month. Generally speaking, although this job is tense and serious, it is still moderate.
In the evening, Qin Mubai and Cheng Huaibi took a team of people to the Wude Hall to hand over the shift, ready to escort the emperor back to the harem for a meal and rest.
The current harem is the whole Daming Palace. The Empress Changsun is no longer there, and the other four concubines and nine concubines all live here. In addition, there is the court where the palace eunuchs live. Usually, even if the prime minister is summoned by the emperor, he dares not come here easily.
Today is the first day of Baiqi's work, so Qin Mubai intended to familiarize himself with every job of Baiqi.
After the emperor entered the Daming Palace, he first went to the Hanyuan Hall for dinner. At this time, it is said that the little prince Li Zhi and the little queen Li Mingda, who were personally raised by the emperor, appeared.
Li Zhi, the successor of Li Shimin in history, is only ten years old and has a minor ass. Li Mingda has always been Li Shimin's favorite daughter, the biological birth of Empress Changsun. He and Li Zhi are a brother and sister. They are only four years old this year.
When he first saw the brothers and sisters, Qin Mubai only glanced at them. Li Shimin walked into the inner dining room one by one and enjoyed the joy of family under the service of the eunuchs and maids. Qin Mubai can only wait for the order outside the door. When it was getting dark, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, were taken away by the wet nurse. After a busy day, the emperor Li Shimin left the Hanyuan Hall and went to the apse where the concubines lived.
