Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 20
Li Chengqian was very satisfied with Di Renjie's attitude. The smiling Li Chengqian looked at Xue Rengui and his wife.

Xue Rengui met Li Chengqian's gaze, and nodded slightly at Li Chengqian, without any fear because the other party was the prince!
Compared to Xue Rengui's stability, Liu's performance was a little flustered, and she didn't dare to look Li Chengqian directly, and grabbed Xue Rengui's big hand with both hands.

Xue Rengui turned his head and smiled at Liu Shi, and patted her hand to calm her down.

Li Chengqian said to Xue Rengui: "I have heard people say that Xue Qing has excellent arm strength and excellent martial arts skills, especially good at riding and shooting! You can pass through Yang with a hundred steps!"

"In ancient times, there was a man who was good at archery, who could shoot through seven layers of armor with one arrow. I wonder how many layers of armor Xue Qing can shoot?"

"Your Majesty! The grassroots dare not say that they can shoot through the seventh floor with one arrow, but I am sure about the fifth floor." Xue Rengui said.

"Oh! That's very good! Xue Qing, you shoot here for the widow and Di Qing to see." Li Chengqian clapped his hands and laughed, and ordered people to fetch five layers of armor, bows and arrows.

After placing the armor, Xue Rengui took the bow and arrow, and saw him set up a posture, and aimed at the armor in the distance with his bow and arrow.

I only heard the sound of the bowstring, and the arrow crossed a straight line, and the arrow pierced through the armor in an instant.

Everyone was surprised!They were all shocked by Xue Rengui's archery skills.

"Good!" Li Chengqian was overjoyed!Applauded, and ordered people to fetch the silver armor.

It is worthy of being the famous Xue Rengui who created allusions such as "a good strategy to stop fighting", "three arrows to fix the Tianshan Mountains", and "bravely conquering Liaodong".

Seeing Li Chengqian's joy, Xue Rengui was also very happy. The reason why he tried so hard to show off in front of Li Chengqian, the prince, was nothing more than that he wanted Li Chengqian to see Xue Rengui's value, so that he could be reused by the prince.

In exchange for his bright future, so that he can return to his hometown in good clothes and glory to his ancestors.

"I am very happy that Xue Qing has such abilities. It is really a blessing for the East Palace to have a talent like Xue Qing in my East Palace."

"Tomorrow, the widow will tell His Majesty that Xue Qing will be the commander of the prince's mansion. From now on, you will be in charge of the East Palace." Li Chengqian directly appointed Xue Rengui as the leader of the two mansions.

Since the change of Xuanwu Gate, in order for Li Er to be able to better control the East Palace, all the officials above the fourth rank in the East Palace must be appointed by the emperor Li Er.

The officials below the fourth rank of the East Palace are appointed by the prince himself. Therefore, whether Xue Rengui can take the lead or not needs to be decided by Li Er.

Li Chengqian pointed at the silver armor and said: "At the beginning, the emperor gave the widow gold and silver armor, and today the widow gave Xue Qing this pair of silver armor."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Xue Rengui hurriedly knelt down on the ground, thank you so much!

Li Chengqian's words made everyone in the East Palace gasp. The prince's left and right leaders in the palace are all military officers of the fourth rank.

The duty of the prince's left and right internal rate is to be in charge of the guards within the forbidden palace, and to enshrine the soldiers. The number of officials is less than that of the left and right guards.

The prince's internal rate is directly related to the prince's personal safety.

Such an important position is just handed over to a reckless person?It would be too childish for the prince to do so.

Besides, Xue Rengui, who came from a grassroots background, was able to sit in the seat of the inner leader in no time. Can the subordinate officials of the prince's left and right officials agree!

Not to mention the others, Helan Chushi, the son-in-law of General Hou Junji, was the first to refuse.

Xue Rengui also stood there dumbfounded, he thought it would be good to be the backup of the East Palace,
He didn't dare to hope to sit on such a high position all at once.

After all, he came from a grassroots background, and if he has achieved the fourth grade right away, he is afraid that some people will dissatisfy him.

"Mr. Lang! I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this! I'm afraid that none of the officials in the left and right inner leadership mansions will obey Xue Rengui." Wang Quan stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter! I believe that Xue Qing can overwhelm the crowd, and train those little brats who are leading the way." Li Chengqian laughed.

What he wanted was this effect. Xue Rengui, as a famous general of the Tang Dynasty in the future, if he couldn't even subdue the guards of the East Palace, how could he lead the army and make great military exploits for the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Now is the time to test Xue Rengui's strength.

After the assassination of the crown prince and the guards in the East Palace were purged, the newly added guards were not loyal enough to the crown prince.

Li Chengqian intends to hand over these guards to Xue Rengui for unified training, and let them swear allegiance to his prince.

The guards of the East Palace must be made into Li Chengqian's own personal force.

Seeing that Li Chengqian had made such a decision, Wang Quan had no choice but to give up.

"My lord, I will live up to His Highness' high expectations!" Xue Rengui was so grateful that he knelt down on the ground hastily.

"Xue Qing, please hurry up! From now on, the safety of the widow will be entirely entrusted to you, and I hope you will not disappoint the widow." Li Chengqian said.

"I am willing to die for the prince!" Xue Rengui said.

The prince's kindness to him is as great as a mountain, and he will give him such an important position because of his trust. How can he, Xue Rengui, refuse to obey him to death!

"Tomorrow, after I declare to Your Majesty that you are an internal leader, you will follow the widow to the school grounds, and let the guards around the internal leader's mansion know about your abilities." Li Chengqian said.

"Everything is up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xue Rengui said.

"Okay! Let's continue the banquet!" Li Chengqian greeted everyone to continue eating and drinking. The banquet didn't end until the evening, and everyone had a good time.

……

Early the next morning, after Li Chengqian was fully dressed, he went directly to the Da Nei to meet Li Er, and reported to Li Er about the appointment of Xue Rengui as the inner leader.

"What?" After listening to Li Chengqian's performance, Li Er's complexion suddenly darkened. It is not a child's play to appoint the leaders in the East Palace.

A mountain villager who came out of nowhere, the prince unexpectedly appointed him as the leader of the left and right and the leader of the mansion so childishly.

Moreover, he is the leader of the two guards of the Eastern Palace, which is tantamount to handing over his wealth and life to others.

Li Er was disappointed with Li Chengqian's hasty decision!

I thought that the prince had already reformed himself, changed his mind and started a new life, but who knew that his behavior was still so unreliable.

How much do you know each other?Dare to do such a reckless thing, what if the other party is a plotter?
Isn't this suicidal!Before he was completely convinced of this person, he could not be allowed to stay in the East Palace no matter what.

Li Er made up his mind and said to Li Chengqian: "Great! Tell me, how much do you know about this Xue Rengui?"

"This..." Li Chengqian was really stunned by the question. If he wanted to say he understood, he and Xue Rengui had only met once, so they didn't have a deep understanding.

His knowledge of Xue Rengui only stays in the written information.

But even so, Li Chengqian believed that Xue Rengui was someone worthy of his trust.

"Father! Xue Qing is from the Xue family in Hedong, and his father Xue Guigong is the Zanzhi of Xiangcheng in the Sui Dynasty..."

Before Li Chengqian could finish speaking, Li Er directly interrupted him.

"That is to say, you don't actually know Xue Rengui well, do you?"
