Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 288
Peng Hai is an old man of Li Yuan, but Shang Gongju is still an old man of the former Sui Palace.

The rest of the people were part of the people from Jinyang Palace who had joined Li Yuan, and the other part were reliable candidates for Tang Guogong's mansion, but the Shang Palace Bureau did not place a single person.

The reason is that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, no one was available to manage various affairs in the palace.

Peng Hai didn't say that he wanted to change people, but Concubine Wan Gui also thought about changing people. Concubine Wan Gui asked: "There are 190 people in the Shang Palace Bureau. After all of them are changed, the palace will be in chaos."

"That's why I don't dare to think about it." Peng Hai's words were conclusive.

He wanted to change, but he had considered a lot, so he didn't dare to change easily. If the palace is in chaos, no one can bear the responsibility.

"Let's take a look first." Concubine Wan Gui gave her advice, and Peng Hai saluted and left.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Mu arrived at the barracks of the guards at the gate of Taiji Palace. Seeing Liu Mu coming, the imperial guards were very enthusiastic, and they brought an extra stove over.Someone else went to notify the general on duty.

Not long after, a person came.

This one, in a biographical novel hundreds of years later, was directly blacked out as Xiang.

The real history is, however, a loyal, brave and capable general.Leading the left prison gate guard general, Zhang Shigui.

"Mr. Mu Xiaolang, you are a distinguished guest." Zhang Shigui clasped his fists from a distance.

Liu Mu hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "You are actually on duty today, so you don't need to go around looking for helpers. You first gather 1000 people to help you at Anfumen."

Zhang Shigui smiled and asked back: "A military order is required to transfer more than [-] troops. The imperial army has fixed tasks every day. Except for these things, the rest of the things dare not be transferred at will."

"You don't adjust. Don't regret it, I'm here to deliver supplies to the four guards of the Imperial Army."

Zhang Shigui still smiled: "It's not okay to send gold. You drag it to the gate of the palace. I will send some people to guard it according to the rules. There is no need to ask for orders, but let people wait outside the palace first. No. At most I will run away." legs, go ask the saint."

"Okay. Ask the sage to tell me that I will borrow another 2000 people to help me transport some things back to Jingyang." Liu Mu also smiled.

Zhang Shigui cupped his hands: "Mr. Mulang, sit down." After speaking, Zhang Shigui walked into the palace.

Zhang Shigui in history was such a person, he was very disciplined.After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, he personally asked Zhang Shigui, who was fighting abroad, to rush to Chang'an, and Li Yuan wanted to see Zhang Shigui.

In the second year of Wude, Zhang Shigui accompanied Li Shimin in the Tiance Mansion for expeditions. In the sixth year of Wude, after Li Shimin no longer had to go on expeditions, Zhang Shigui was temporarily transferred to the Zuojian gate guard as a general, one of the guards of the Forbidden Palace.

Li Yuan was changing his court clothes, Zhang Shigui asked to see him.

"Saint, Concubine Liu came to Guangyun Gate and claimed that he was sending something to the palace and supplies to the forbidden army. He asked the minister to dispatch a thousand soldiers to serve at Anfu Gate. The minister refused and said that he would come to ask for an order. But Concubine Liu told Minister, please ask the saint to borrow another 2000 people to be responsible for transporting what I don’t know to Jingyang.”

"So fast." Li Yuanxin said that Peng Hai only saw Liu Mu yesterday, and he started delivering things today.

Li Yuan asked, "What did you say?"

"Back to the words of the saint, I didn't say anything."

"I'm sure, you write down my orders. If you want to send something to the palace, you can call people according to the quantity. But the imperial army is not allowed to leave Jingzhao, and don't let Liumu trick you into doing irrelevant things." Zhang Shigui was surprised by Li Yuan's order, but he still respectfully saluted and said that he would make a note of it, and he must follow the order of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Shigui didn't know the scale, but he was just a general in the four guards of the forbidden army, and there were four other great generals.

I believe they will make a decision.

When Zhang Shigui returned to the barracks of the guards of the Guangyun Gate, there were a few more people here.

Cheng Mingzhen, the guard of the right guard who is on the same level as himself, and Ren Can, the general of the right Qianniuwei who is in charge of duty today.The two were sitting by the stove with Liu Mu, talking and laughing.

Seeing Zhang Shigui coming in, Ren Can smiled and said to Zhang Shigui: "Old Zhang, go and ask for an order. The sage probably gave more than what you asked for."

"Exactly." Zhang Shigui recounted Li Yuan's instructions, emphasizing that one sentence: "The sage specially ordered me to be careful not to be tricked by Mr. Mu Lang into doing irrelevant things."

Ren Can laughed heartily, but didn't make any comments but said: "Okay, you two go to adjust people." Ren Can then said to Liu Mu: "Let me take a look at that matter first, if it is really good. According to your."

Liu Mu got up and went to find a maid sweeping the floor: "No matter what your job is, go tell Zuo Shanggong. I, Liu Mu, said, within three days. Yesterday was the first day, today is the second day, and tomorrow will be the next day." They are going out of the palace, so today we will start sending people out of the palace one after another, that's it."

The little palace maid looked bewildered.

"Did you remember what I said?"

"Write it down, but I don't understand it." The little maid replied timidly.

Liu Mu chuckled: "It's okay if you don't understand, just tell Zuo Shanggong as it is." After speaking, Liu Mu and Ren Can went to Anfumen together.

The two waited at the gate of the palace for a short time, and the convoy that first came to the palace was already approaching.

Liu Mu asked the ten guards on horseback to dismount: "Stand there, and show General Ren the changing of the guard."

"Yes!"

Some imperial soldiers lent them long halberds and other relying swords.

Liu Mu had served as a soldier, and one of the few things in the military camp that he remembered most in his mind was the changing of the guard.

Thinking about the official changing of the guard in the military camps in later generations, it was a one-on-one changing of the guard post, which also had a kind of momentum, but at this time, five-on-five changing of the guard, when Liu Mu saw the goose step, he felt a sense of enthusiasm.

Liu Mu likes to see this kind of heroic goose step, tough weapon-holding ceremony, and that steel-like resolute expression.

Especially the eyes, focused, and with a hint of pride.

Ren Can was also fascinated by watching, especially after shaking the cloak during the changing of the guard, he threw up the cloak with his right hand and gave a military salute heavily in front of his left chest, with those eyes and movements.good!

"There are two problems." Ren Can patted Liu Mu's shoulder: "First of all, it is not easy to stand upright in such a cold day, and besides, the walking steps seem to be specially practiced, the pace of five people Unanimity, no need to think about it, it’s hard work.”

"You can work slowly. As for the cold weather, it hasn't snowed yet. Come on, bring three sets of autumn clothes for the palace guards." Liu Mu ordered.

The big box contains the clothes for these people who guard the Forbidden Palace among the guards.

"These three sets are door outfits, inner patrol outfits, and outer patrol outfits. Then they are subdivided into captain uniforms, captain uniforms, and general uniforms." Liu Mu introduced.

Seeing that Zhang Shigui had brought hundreds of people over, Ren Can beckoned, "Come here, let's try on clothes."

The clothes on Liu Mu's side are only divided into four sizes: extra large, large, medium and small. The Forbidden Army's side is full of veterans who fought against Li Yuan, so it's not that they are all big men.
