Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 224 The New Hundred Knights

Li Shimin felt comfortable being flattered by Gao Ming, so he was in a particularly good mood. When he was in a good mood, things that Gao Ming wanted to do would be done easily.

After returning to the palace, Li Shimin immediately wrote the letter and handed it over to Gao Ming. At the same time, he also told him that as long as the official position in the Datang Royal Business Alliance does not exceed the fifth rank, Gao Ming can handle it by himself. .

After hearing Li Shimin's promise, Gao Ming couldn't help feeling emotional immediately.

"This flattery is not in vain!"

After leaving the imperial study room, he asked him to happily return to the East Palace with the letter from Li Shimin.

As soon as he returned to the East Palace, Gao Ming received a message from the little eunuch.

"His Royal Highness, Lord Hegan Chengji, please see me."

Hegan Chengji was sent by Gao Ming to escort Luo Xun's family more than half a month ago. Gao Ming calculated the time and he should be back, so he was not too surprised when he heard the little eunuch's biography, and immediately laughed up.

"It's a bit early to come back now, it seems that I really didn't slack off on the way, let him come in!"

"Yes!"

Not a while after the little eunuch went out, Hegan Chengji in armor came back, and when he saw Gao Ming, he knelt down on one knee, and saluted Gao Ming with a clasped fist.

"His Royal Highness, your subordinates have fulfilled their mission and sent Luo Xun's wife and children to Jinzhou safely."

Is this showing merit?

Seeing Hegan Chengji's dusty appearance, Gao Ming immediately understood that he should have come here directly after returning to Chang'an, and immediately laughed.

"Haha, you really deserve to be the person I fancy, come here, give me a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

After Hegan Chengji sat down, Gao Ming smiled and nodded.

"This prince has always kept his promise. Since you have proven your worth, then this prince will naturally not treat you badly. From today onwards, you will be the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Guards."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Hegan Chengji immediately knelt down with a look of excitement.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness, for cultivating it!"

Seeing Hegan Chengji's excited expression, Gao Ming smiled again, and then raised his hand towards him.

"I think you should have doubts. What is the official position of the commander of the hundred cavalry guards? Then I will explain it to you. Okay, you get up first."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

After Hegan Chengji got up, Gao Ming explained to him.

"In the beginning, the Hundred Knights were called Hundred Knights because there were only more than 100 people, but all the fighters of the Hundred Knights were elites. It would be a pity to only let them be soldiers. Sergeant!"

Having said that, Gao Ming immediately stretched out a finger.

"From now on, every hundred cavalry guards will be expanded by one hundred cavalry guards, one thousand cavalry guards will be installed on top of ten hundred cavalry guards, and one commander will be installed on top of ten thousand cavalry guards."

He Gan Chengji was shocked when he heard Gao Ming's words.

"So, I have 1 people under my command?"

Just now when Gao Ming asked him to be the commander, although he knew that he must be a high-ranking official, he never expected that this official would be so big!
After Hegan Chengji reacted, he suddenly "plopped" and knelt down towards Gao Ming again, and at the same time, he slammed his head heavily on the stone slab, making a "boom".

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Okay, okay, why are you kneeling again, get up and talk!"

"Yes!"

After hearing Gao Ming's words, He Gan Chengji stood up, and bowed his hands to Gao Ming again.

"His Royal Highness, are these expanded soldiers recruited from the people?"

As soon as Hegan Chengji finished speaking, Gao Ming smiled and shook his head.

"No, because there are special requirements for loyalty, so these people are directly selected from the Jinwu Guard."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming took out the letter from Li Shimin from his arms, and handed it directly to Hegan Chengji.

"This is the scripture given by the sage. With this scripture, you can go to the Jinwu Guard to select candidates. Here, take it!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the seemingly inconspicuous rice paper in Gao Ming's hand, He Gan Chengji quickly knelt down, then raised his hands above his head, and respectfully took Li Shimin's letter from Gao Ming's hand, not daring to be sloppy at all.

Gao Ming was also very satisfied with Hegan Chengji's behavior, and immediately nodded with a smile.

"Remember your mood today. When you do things in the future, you must be in awe and act cautiously. Okay, get up."

"Yes, thank you for your teaching, Your Highness the Prince!"

After Hegan Chengji agreed, he stood up, first carefully put his hand in his arms, and then bowed his hands to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, I have become the commander and acquaintance, what about the Lord Zhang?"

Gao Ming knew that Hegan Chengji would ask this question a long time ago, so he immediately laughed.

"Haha, you don't have to worry. There were nearly 200 Hundred Horse Guards. You and Zhang Sizheng each brought a hundred Hundred Horse Guards. You are both commanders and acquaintances."

He Gan Chengji heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Gao Ming's words.

Hegan Chengji knew that Gao Ming looked at Zhang Sizheng very much, so he was very worried that Zhang Sizheng would be on his head. Now that Gao Ming said that Zhang Sizheng was also a fellow of Baiqiwei, and he was on the same level as him, he naturally felt a lot more comfortable. There is also a little more smile on the face.

Seeing Hegan Chengji's smile, Gao Ming immediately nodded towards him.

"Starting today, the hundred cavalry will be divided into two. You will be the commander of the left hundred cavalry, Zhang Sizheng will be the commander of the right hundred cavalry, and I will temporarily serve as the commander of the left and right hundred cavalry."

He Gan Chengji's eyes lit up again when Gao Ming said the word "temporarily".

Seeing the change in Hegan Chengji's expression, Gao Ming suddenly smiled.

"You and Zhang Sizheng compete fairly, and I will decide who will be the commander in the future based on the performance of the two of you."

He Gan Chengji's eyes widened again when he heard Gao Ming's words. From Gao Ming's words just now, he got three conclusions.

First, Baiqiwei is the same as before, only Gao Ming is in charge.

Second, one of him and Zhang Sizheng will be the commander.

Thirdly, whoever became the commander, after Gao Ming ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, will be worthy of the name that one person is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Thinking of it, Hegan Chengji's breathing became heavy.

"I must get the position of Commander of the Hundred Knights!"

Seeing that the blue veins on Hegan Chengji's forehead started to twitch with excitement, Gao Ming knew that his goal had been achieved, and immediately nodded towards Hegan Chengji.

"Okay, since the handbook has been given to you, you can go to pick someone first, and after the adjustment is completed, the registration book will be sent to the Ministry of War. I will leave this to you, go!"

"Yes, my subordinates retire!"

After finishing speaking, Hegan Chengji impatiently left the East Palace with a look of excitement on his face. After he left, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing again.

"Hegan Chengji, don't worry, the commander of the hundred cavalry guards is destined to be yours in the future, so just do it and cherish it!"

Today's Baiqiwei was established by Gao Ming imitating the Jinyiwei of the later generations, and its functions are the same as those of the later generations of Jinyiwei, all of which are to clear obstacles for those in power.

As a "sweeper", it is undoubtedly very offensive, just like the Jinyiwei of the later Ming Dynasty, the fate of more than a dozen Jinyiwei commanders, almost all died tragically, and it is rare to have a good death.

After all, someone has to come out to carry the scapegoat, and Hegan Chengji is undoubtedly the one reserved by Gao Ming to "carry the scapegoat".

In Gao Ming's opinion, among the people around him, no one is more suitable to take the blame than He Gan Chengji.

"You always have to pay it back when you come out to mess around, Hegan Chengji, what will happen to you in the future depends on what you do in the future!"

In fact, if Hegan Chengji is cautious in the future, then even if his official position is lost in the future, it will be no problem to keep his life. Killed him to vent public anger.

It can be said that what will happen to Hegan Chengji in the future depends mainly on himself.

However, Gao Ming felt that with Hegan Chengji's temperament, he would probably follow the same path as most of the Jinyiwei commanders in the Ming Dynasty - the path of self-destruction.

"Everyone has his own life, let's do it and cherish it."

While Gao Ming was feeling emotional, Su Wan'er and Zhou Hong came over together, and after coming to Gao Ming's side, she bowed to him.

"My concubine has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Haha, I told you not to be too polite. Is there any outsider here?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Su Wan'er shook her head.

"His Royal Highness, etiquette cannot be discarded."

Seeing her serious face, Gao Ming could only sigh.

"Oh, well, this is up to you."

Seeing that Gao Ming no longer insisted, Su Wan'er immediately seemed to have won the battle, and her whole body was filled with happiness.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Little boy, I'm glad you are happy. By the way, I just have something to tell you. Come in with me. Shi Shu and Shi Jian will also come in together."

"Yes!"

After entering the bedroom, Gao Ming went to the bed and sat down, then waved and called Su Wan'er and the others to his side.

"It's actually like this. I used to decide who slept with me every night, but now I think it's unfair, so I figured out a way."

After speaking, Gao Ming took out two dice from his arms, and then smiled at the women in front of him.

"Here are two dice. Come and throw them. Whoever gets the most points can sleep with me tonight!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, the faces of the women turned red, and no matter what Gao Ming said, they would not come up and throw the dice.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming could only sigh.

"Okay, I'm wrong, let me put it another way, you come up and throw the dice, whoever has the smallest number of points, then I can only sleep with you."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the eyes of the girls suddenly lit up.
