Chapter 1509: Reorganization of the Imperial Guards
With He Ruobi being killed and Cheng Yaojin's almost loud speaker-like roar, the entire Imperial Guard was instantly shocked. At this time, an excited voice said, "Brothers of the Imperial Guard, the Great Zhou has supported you for decades, and you have lived on the Great Zhou's salary until today. The traitor Yang Jian has only occupied the world for a few years, have you completely forgotten the Great Zhou's kindness?"

"Have you forgotten that the Great Zhou is the master of the world, and Yang Jian is just a traitor who robbed his grandson's family business?" Many soldiers of the Imperial Guard were stunned by this voice, and then looked in the direction where the voice came from. Suddenly, many officers excitedly said, "Old General, why are you here?"

That's right, the one who appeared at this time was the old general Wang Xing of the Imperial Guard. Before Yuwen Chan, Wang Xing had controlled the Imperial Guard for more than ten years. Most of the soldiers in the Imperial Guard were brought up by him. The appearance of Wang Xing at this time naturally caused a burst of excitement.

However, Wang Xing did not speak much to his soldiers. Instead, he quickly walked to Yuwen Chan, knelt down, and said in an excited voice, "Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue, causing Your Majesty to be persecuted and insulted by the traitors. I am guilty!"

"How can this be the old general's fault? It's all because of the evil spirit that invaded the King of Sui. It has nothing to do with the general!" Yuwen Chan helped Wang Xing up, and then said, "Pass on my decree, confer Wang Xing the title of Duke of Xingguo, Senior Pillar of the State, General of Chariots and Cavalry, and command all the imperial guards of Chang'an to protect my safety!"

"I accept your order and thank you!" Under normal circumstances, Wang Xing would definitely not agree to such a huge reward and title, but now the situation is urgent and he must use the highest status and name to take over the imperial guards, so he agreed without hesitation.

Yuwen Chan then said, "The Imperial Guards are loyal to the emperor and the country, and have made great contributions to the protection of the Great Zhou. All the officers who followed me to quell the rebellion will be promoted three levels, and all the soldiers will be rewarded with ten acres of good land and one hundred taels of silver!"

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Wang Xing shouted loudly upon hearing it, and Cheng Yaojin was already prepared. He continued to repeat Yuwen Chan's reward in his thunderous voice, and the blood of all the guards boiled in their bodies after hearing it.

Ten acres of good farmland... Many soldiers' families didn't even have an acre of land. One hundred taels of silver was equivalent to a reward of 100,000 RMB. The imperial guards could not help but be excited.

However, this little emperor obviously has nothing in his hands. Does he really have so many rewards to give them?
Then Cheng Yaojin continued, "Brothers, Yang Jian's family has occupied tens of millions of acres of fertile land in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are countless rare treasures in his home. As long as you kill this traitor Yang Jian, everything in his family will naturally be rewarded to you brothers!"

I see. It turns out that if we destroy the treacherous Yang family, everyone can get a share of the Yang family’s property!
The morale of the soldiers of the Imperial Guard was suddenly high at this moment. With the presence of veteran general Wang Xing, the entire Imperial Guard began to change their minds.

At this time, the importance of Yuwen Chan's identity was reflected. Yuwen Chan was originally the emperor, and Yang Jian stole his throne. This was Yuwen Chan's innate righteousness, which far exceeded the Sui Dynasty's own destiny. At this time, the entire imperial guards recognized Yuwen Chan's throne and were highly sympathetic to him.

If the Sui Dynasty had ruled for another decade or so, and had destroyed the Southern Chen and unified the world, then Yuwen Chan and the Great Zhou would not be worth mentioning. But now, the Great Zhou undoubtedly still exists in everyone's hearts.

Coupled with Wang Xing and the reward, the minds of all the imperial guards changed in an instant. When the first commander of the imperial guards ran over to pay homage to Yuwen Chan, the other imperial guards generals followed one after another.

In fact, there were still a few who were loyal to Yang Jian's leadership, but they were stabbed to death by their subordinates who wanted to advance, and then collectively pledged allegiance to Yuwen Chan.

After that, Yuwen Chan immediately appointed Li Jing, Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Xutuo, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, Qu Tutong, Zhang Liang, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Gong and other famous generals under his command as generals of the Imperial Guards, each commanding about a thousand Imperial Guards. In order to prevent these original generals of the Imperial Guards from being dissatisfied, Yuwen Chan also took the initiative to say that because all the generals of the Imperial Guards would be promoted three levels in a row, and after the promotion, the Imperial Guards would naturally not be able to accommodate so many officers, so they would all be sent to the local areas to serve as provincial governors, captains and other senior officers.

This made the originally somewhat dissatisfied imperial guards smile with satisfaction. Although the position of the imperial guards was noble, it was indeed difficult to make money under the emperor's nose. As long as they were in the local areas, they could make money at will, and the benefits were many times more than those of the imperial guards.

Moreover, when they arrived at the local level, they were naturally not afraid of the emperor's revenge later. After all, in the palace, as long as the emperor gave an order, these imperial guards would be collectively exploited.

Therefore, although Yuwen Chan arranged for his own people to take over the military power in their hands, the generals of the imperial army not only did not stop them, but cooperated with them extremely. After all, they have now surrendered to Yuwen Chan, so this restoration must be successful and no failure is allowed, otherwise everyone will die.

Li Jing and others are all the most outstanding generals of the Tang Dynasty, and the Imperial Guards are also the most elite troops with good training and the cooperation of the original generals. Therefore, with a little reorganization by Li Jing and others, the entire Imperial Guards can burst out with a strength several times stronger than before.

After the reorganization, the more than 1 imperial guards officially set out and headed straight for the imperial palace.

During the process of reorganizing the army, the news had already spread throughout the entire Chang'an City through countless mouths. Not to mention the ordinary people, even the officials who did not attend the funeral basically knew that Emperor Jing of Zhou, Yuwen Chan, had faked his death and killed Emperor Yang Jian of Sui, and had also incorporated Yang Jian's guards and imperial guards, and was now preparing to attack the palace.

After receiving this news, the next step is naturally to respond.

In the entire Chang'an City, the most powerful group was not the Yang family, nor the Yuwen family before, but the entire Guanlong noble group. This group was basically derived from the original eight town nobles, and together they accumulated a lot of strength in the process of overthrowing the Wei Dynasty.

Each aristocratic group controls a large amount of farmland, food, population, and its own private army. The current Yang Jian, and the future Li Tang, are among the largest warlords in the Guanlong aristocratic group. It is precisely because they control a large amount of private power that they can seize the world in one fell swoop and become emperors.

However, after becoming emperor, both the Yang and Li families tried every means to figure out how to weaken the power of other Guanlong nobles.

Yang Guang failed, so his empire was gone. Li Shimin was not successful either, he could not bring himself to kill, and in the end he had to rely on Wu Meiniang and An Lushan to wipe out the entire Guanlong aristocratic group.
