The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 9
Zhao Dongting looked over, only to see Yinger's willow eyebrows slightly erected, full of unwillingness.In front of her, a claw-shaped hand barely stopped three inches from her neck.

This is just a discussion, so the guard is merciful.If it was a life-and-death fight, it is conceivable that Yinger's neck would be broken by the guard in an instant.

"Clap clap clap!"

Zhao Dongting applauded and said with a smile: "It seems that there are still heroes in our Great Song army."

Although it is said that heroes are not judged by force, Zhao Dongting just wanted to create the concept of strength by force in the minds of these guards.A sergeant is not a hero in the forest. What he has to do is to go to battle and kill the enemy. Don't use force to judge a hero?Do you want to judge heroes by benevolence and righteousness?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The guard who had defeated Yinger cupped his hands at Zhao Dongting, then picked up the armor and weapons on the ground, and was about to walk into the team.

He had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't think there was anything special about being better than Yinger.

Ying'er walked back to Zhao Dongting's side with a guilty expression on her face.She felt that she had disgraced the emperor.

"slow!"

Zhao Dongting called to stop the guard and said, "I said that whoever wins Yinger, I will be promoted to his official position. What's your name?"

"Yue Peng!"

The guard replied.

Zhao Dongting walked up to him, "A good name deserves this heroic spirit. I appointed you as the deputy in charge of the guards and infantry, do you dare to do it?"

Before Yue Peng could speak, Su Liuyi, Yang Yidong, and the commanders of the infantry guards closest to him were all startled.

Yue Peng is just a small soldier, so he was directly named as the deputy official in charge of the infantry guards?Isn't this a joke?

Su Liuyi made a bow and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to consult your mother before making a decision on this matter?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly upset when he heard the words, thinking that you, as a courtier, would keep your mouth shut and use the Empress Dowager to suppress Lao Tzu.Immediately snorted softly: "Does Master Su think that I don't even have this little right? In Master Su's heart, do you still regard me as the emperor?"

This is not a light sentence, if it is true, then Su Liuyi is the least guilty of contempt for the king.

"I dare not!"

Su Liuyi knelt on the ground with a puff, but still said: "It's just that this guard has no position or title, and he was directly promoted to be in charge of the guard and infantry deputy official. Such things have been extremely rare since the beginning of the Song Dynasty. I implore the emperor to withdraw his order for the time being and reward him. To be appointed as a command envoy is the ultimate form of grace, and it can show the greatness of the emperor's grace. According to the usual practice, the deputy officer in charge of the infantry guards should be selected from the Marquis of Du Yu or the commanders and deputy commanders of all squads."

The commander of the bodyguard's army knelt down more than a dozen times, "Please take it back, Your Majesty!"

They are all high-level generals in the infantry of the guards.Yang Yidong also knelt on the ground.

Zhao Dongting just smiled softly, "Using extraordinary means in extraordinary times, our Great Song Dynasty is precarious, so naturally we should promote capable people regardless of the ancient methods. If you think my actions are inappropriate, you can come up to challenge Yue Peng. Whoever is the most powerful, I will grant the post of deputy officer in charge of the infantry guards, how about it?"

At the end of the sentence, there was already an undisguised chill in his voice.

All the generals felt a slight shock in their hearts, knowing that the little emperor might be angry.No one dares to speak up at the moment.

As for fighting Yue Peng, who would dare?
These generals have been in the army all year round, so they naturally know which people are hard to chew.Although Yue Peng has no title, everyone in the guard infantry knows what he is capable of.None of them had the confidence to beat Yue Peng in terms of punches and kicks.

Everyone could see that the little emperor was determined to promote Yue Peng. If he didn't go up, at least he wouldn't get into trouble.If he went up but was defeated by Yue Peng's subordinates, not to mention his majesty in front of his subordinates, he would still be disliked by the emperor.

Can't bet, can't bet.

All the generals thought so, so no one said they would fight Yue Peng.

"Humph!"

Zhao Dongting snorted heavily: "Since you have no skills, then just stay in your current positions honestly."

The heads of the generals were buried even lower.

Su Liuyi raised his eyes to look at Zhao Dongting, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.The previous emperors of the Song Dynasty all valued literature over martial arts, but now this little emperor directly promoted Yue Peng to be the deputy official in charge of the guard infantry because of his outstanding skills. I don't know if this is a hint of some kind of signal .

Could it be that Wu Xun will rise again in the hands of this little emperor?
Su Liuyi is an extremely human minister, but he has to consider this possibility.

Zhao Dongting reprimanded the generals, looked at Yue Peng again, his expression suddenly softened, and said: "Yue Peng, you haven't answered my words yet!"

Yue Peng fell to his knees and replied in a deep voice, "I dare!"

It could be seen that he was also inexplicably excited. Although his voice was dull, there was uncontrollable excitement.

"it is good!"

Zhao Dongting stepped forward to personally help Yue Peng up, and then said: "From now on, Yue Peng will be the deputy official in charge of the guard infantry."

The generals looked at Yue Peng who was hit by shit luck, and they felt mixed feelings in their hearts.One of them even had a very venomous gleam in his eyes.

"At the same time, I still have something to announce."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Dongting continued, "From now on, I will lead all the guards and troops in person!"

This moment finally came, Yang Yidong's face suddenly turned pale.The last luck in my heart was also declared shattered.

He originally thought that the little emperor might just be joking, and would not really want to personally take over the guards, and the promotion of Yue Peng was just a whim.Unexpectedly, Zhao Dongting finally said this in front of the whole army.So, how does he, the majestic supervisor in charge of the infantry guard, handle his business?
If the bodyguards are commanded by the emperor, can he still have a say in the official affairs of the bodyguards?

But this matter was settled last night, and even the queen mother couldn't stop the little emperor.Now, Yang Yidong didn't dare to say anything more.

He only hoped that the little emperor could leave some real power for himself.If there is no real power, no matter how high the position is, it will not have much face in the court.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting pointed at each of the soldiers in the army, "You! You! You!..."

Zhao Dongting didn't stop until he counted 200 people, saying: "You all come out!"

The guards he pointed out all walked out of the army formation and stood beside them.

If you have the heart, you will definitely find that most of these people are veterans.

In his previous life, Zhao Dongting didn't have any outstanding abilities, but he only had a photographic memory, which he thought few people could possess.The guards he pointed out just now are all veterans who he specially observed and screened out before.These veterans are free and unrestrained, and have no blood in their hearts. Instead of letting them continue to cause harm in the army, it would be better to dump them on Yang Yidong.

Walking in front of the two hundred veterans, Zhao Dongting said, "From now on, you will follow Master Yang to guard the Forbidden Palace, no need to practice."

Hearing this, most of the two hundred veterans were overjoyed.

Seeing this, Zhao Dongting even gave up hope for them.They have followed so far. Although they are loyal, they are not suitable for going to the battlefield.

Over there, Yang Yidong obviously knew it well.Looking at these guards, knowing what kind of goods they are, their faces are suddenly ashen.

Such a thing, let alone 200 people, even if there are 2000 people, what's the use?

They are lazy all day long, and taking them with them is a disaster.

Yang Yidong thought to himself, "It's better to obey the Queen Mother and guard the Queen Mother's Forbidden Palace honestly!"

But thinking so in his heart, if he really wants to let go of all the military power in his hands, he is still reluctant.So, I could only pinch my nose and swallow this bitter fruit.

Zhao Dongting walked back to the front of the big team again and said: "As for you, from now on at Maozheng (6 o'clock) to practice on the school field on time, there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers in front suddenly agreed.

Yue Peng was directly promoted from a small soldier to the deputy officer in charge of the guard infantry, which gave them hope.

Zhao Dongting nodded, knowing what they were thinking, and said loudly: "As long as you practice your real skills, then I will give you all the chance to be named marquis and minister!"

The guards all showed excitement when they heard the words.Although it is impossible to be named a marquis and worship a minister, it is also a matter of glory for one's ancestors to be a young general.

Zhao Dongting was very satisfied with the performance of the guards, turned his head to look at Yue Peng, and said, "General Yue, do you have the confidence to train them well?"

Excited, Yue Peng knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "The last general will definitely do his best to live up to the entrustment of the emperor!"

He thought that he would never have a bright future in the army, and spent his life in obscurity. He never thought that he would be able to become the deputy official of the infantry guards.Moreover, after hearing what the little emperor said, he had to hand over the real power of the infantry guards to himself.

At this moment, Yue Peng's gratitude to Zhao Dongting was so deep that even Zhao Dongting could not imagine it.

"In the army, the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping can be exempted."

Zhao Dongting saw a strong look of determination in Yue Peng's eyes, and was satisfied in his heart. He helped Yue Peng up himself, and said slowly: "Then I will wait for you to train them all to be equal to a hundred. A mighty general."

Yue Peng nodded heavily.

Later, Zhao Dongting asked Yue Peng to train soldiers here, while he asked Su Liuyi and others to take them to the Majun Academy.

The generals of the infantry guard looked at Zhao Dongting's leaving back with different expressions.

As soon as he left, Yang Yidong also led his two hundred veterans to leave the school field in a hurry.
