Chapter 13: The leader of the royal guards, Xu Yanbing!
Just when Cao Zhengchun was confused and uncertain.
Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "This man is Xu Yanbing, the future leader of the imperial guards!"
The Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty.
This is a system established as early as the reign of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
The most famous are the Jinwu Guard, Yulin Guard and Huben Guard.
But now the imperial guards are no longer under the emperor's control.
It had been handed over to Zhu Wusi before the death of the previous emperor.
This is both a recognition of Zhu Wushi's ability and an expression of entrusting his son to his care.
It’s a pity that Zhu Wusi, who seems to be loyal and brave, is actually ambitious.
Since Zhu Houzhao received 100,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders as a sign-in reward, he would of course use them.
Whether it is the combat power of Xu Yanbing, a half-step Martial Saint, or the combat power of the Great Snow Dragon Riders.
They all want to be superior to the imperial guards.
It can be used to suppress the evil spirits in the Forbidden City and also to enhance the level of power.
Let Zhu Houzhao sign in for five days and get a good reward.
"The leader of the Imperial Guards?" Cao Zhengchun was startled, then he understood what His Majesty meant: "Your Majesty, are you planning to take action against the Divine Marquis? Deprive him of his power over the Imperial Guards? To make it easier for you to take action against the Divine Marquis in the future?"
He didn't dare to speculate too much about Xu Yanbing's origins. The idea of Zheng He alone made him uneasy.
If you ask more questions, I'm afraid you'll be beheaded.
After decades in the palace, what Cao Zhengchun learned most was how to pretend to be confused.
"Deprive?" Zhu Houzhao sneered: "When will the emperor need to deprive the imperial guards of their power?"
"Since ancient times, shouldn't the imperial guards be controlled by the emperor?"
"Isn't it the duty of the Imperial Guards to protect the Imperial Palace? To protect the Emperor?!"
"As for the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis?"
"I have my own arrangements."
How emperors wield power.
This in itself is a false proposition.
Because there has always been a clear and definite idea in the feudal dynasties.
That is, all the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects.
The Ming Dynasty originally belonged to Zhu Houzhao and the Zhu family, so why should he seek power?
The so-called power only depends on whether Zhu Houzhao himself is qualified to obtain that power.
Seize power!
All you get is a reputation!
As long as Zhu Houzhao has enough strength, he can convince all the people of the Ming Dynasty.
He would then be able to achieve the point where the imperial power was supreme and no one would dare to disobey his orders.
It is just like the power of the Imperial Guards.
Why should Zhu Houzhao argue with Zhu Wusi? He already had the power to deal with the imperial guards.
Whoever he says is the leader of the imperial guards is the one.
The only question is whether the leader of the imperial guards will obey! Will he listen to the imperial edict!
Does Zhu Wusi dare to refute?
Cao Zhengchun lowered his head, he also understood this truth.
Just like him, the East Depot Supervisor who seems to have great power in the court, but is actually just His Majesty's servant.
Zhu Wusi said that these people are also his majesty's retainers.
"Tonight you will take over the entire Imperial Guard with Xu Yanbing! Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed first and reported later!"
Zhu Houzhao said in a cold tone
When he crossed over the day before yesterday, he planned to lie low for a while.
But not only did he sign in Xu Yan's soldiers and 100,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders, he also had Duke Zheng as his foundation.
Then some action should be taken.
Let the world know.
Who is the real owner of the Forbidden City?
.....
Cao Zhengchun and Xu Yanbing had just walked out of the palace gate.
Cao Zhengchun said to Xu Yanbing: "I wonder how the general plans to take over the Imperial Guards. Among these Imperial Guards..."
He was just about to give a detailed introduction to the intelligence of the Imperial Guards and the forces behind these Imperial Guards captains.
But he was interrupted by Xu Yanbing coldly: "Why is it so troublesome to take over an imperial guard?"
Say it.
Xu Yanbing walked towards the left side of Ningshou Palace.
This also made Cao Zhengchun a little confused. He didn't understand what Xu Yanbing meant?
Even if Xu Yanbing is a celestial grandmaster, can he take over the entire imperial guards by himself?
Strength is important.
But whether the general can win the support of the people and how to gather these unruly imperial guards is also a science!
Just haven't taken a few steps yet.
Cao Zhengchun suppressed all the doubts in his heart.
He stared in amazement at the three thousand Snow Dragon Riders standing in the square in front of the Ningshou Palace.
"This...this..." Cao Zhengchun rubbed his eyes hard and even felt like he was in a dream.
You should know that Cao Zhengchun is the supervisor of the East Factory.
He knew everything about the Imperial Palace.
But it's not possible that they didn't even know when three thousand Snow Dragon Riders appeared in the palace, right? !
Especially the momentum of these three thousand Snow Dragon Riders was extremely terrifying.
These three thousand men were all eight feet tall, strong in build, and wearing full body armor made of cold iron.
The horses they rode were all top-quality horses, and they were wearing armor.
And above the armor was hung a Beiliang sword weighing dozens of kilograms!
This is real heavy cavalry! Both the man and the horse are in armor!!!
.......
under night.
The three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders were all silent, standing there like statues.
However, it made Cao Zhengchun feel a mighty military spirit as powerful as a mountain.
This is real iron-blooded soldiers and elite cavalry!
"If these three thousand cavalrymen charge forward..." Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Even though he had practiced the Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu for decades, he did not dare to face the charge of such heavily armored cavalry.
And how on earth did such an elite cavalry appear!!!
Xu Yanbing glanced at Cao Zhengchun. He compared Cao Zhengchun with the human-cat Han Shengxuan in his mind and felt that this Cao Zhengchun really did not have the temperament of a great eunuch at all. Not to mention the extremely cold human-cat, just the eunuchs under the human-cat were much stronger than this one. At least they would not be so scared when seeing the three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders.
Xu Yanbing no longer paid attention to Cao Zhengchun's reaction.
Instead, he slowly walked in front of the three thousand snow dragon riders.
He slowly raised the instant spear in his right hand and said in a cold voice: "Take over the Imperial Guards! Those who disobey will be killed!"
boom!
The three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders all mounted their horses. Although there was no roaring sound like the roar of mountains and seas, such silent and coordinated actions brought more spiritual shock to people. The domineering and indifferent posture made people tremble even more.
"Is this a takeover or a massacre..."
Cao Zhengchun quickly stepped forward to stop Xu Yanbing. He forced a smile and said, "General... there's no need to do this."
Xu Yanbing glanced at Cao Zhengchun coldly.
Cao Zhengchun's eyelids twitched immediately, and then he said hurriedly: "I will ask someone to go to the East Factory to transfer people over. When the time comes, the general only needs to take these 3,000 Snow Dragon Riders for a walk around the Imperial Palace. There is no need to do anything serious."
"Your Majesty only wants to shock and intimidate!!!"
Xu Yanbing sneered: "Go quickly!"
How could he not know this?
But your majesty wants to shock more than just the imperial guards!!!
