"I am my father's son, why can't I visit the palace?" Zhu Ruodeng, the king of Ji, asked angrily at the gate of Dong'an Palace City.
"Your Highness, Long Live Grandpa's dragon body is ill. The Queen Mother has decreed that people are strictly prohibited from entering and exiting the palace, so as not to affect the recovery of the dragon's body." Zhao Chengde, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Guard, explained softly.
"Hurry up and open the palace door. I want to go to Yikun Palace to see my mother and concubine."
"Your Highness, please don't embarrass me. The Queen has decreed that in extraordinary times, anyone entering or leaving the palace must obtain the Queen's consent."
"It's a joke, I want to visit my father, but my mother and concubine are not allowed to do it? What happened in the palace? Is there a treacherous traitor plotting against me? My father~mother and concubine~"
Zhu Ruodeng touched the palace gate and cried loudly, which attracted the attention of many courtiers and made Zhao Chengde sweat profusely.
While he was crying, Chen Shou, the right minister of the Ministry of War, rushed over in a panic and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, something happened. The prince sent Yan Xiaoyong and He Jiuyi to take over the military power of the imperial city and palace city; and Bai Bai
In the anthology, Zhao Yinxuan was appointed as the capital guard commander and deputy governor, Li Yuanyin, and Zhao Desheng was the outer city guard commander and deputy governor. Chen Ge sent someone over with a letter, saying that Guan Shou Zhen had produced an imperial edict for the prince to supervise the country, and he was holding it,
I'm afraid that if I can't stand it anymore, the prince may be imprisoned tomorrow."
"What!"
When Zhu Ruodeng heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Go back to the palace and tell the guards on duty that people should never leave their armor and their horses should never leave their saddles. They must be more vigilant. Those who are not on duty must not leave the military camp unless there is anything going on."
Ming system: The vassal king usually had three guards and soldiers, but that was an old tradition in the early days of the founding of the country. In the later period, there were only a few hundred people.
After the Jiashen Kingdom changed, Emperor Guangwu felt that he could revive Ming Zuo, and the Guilin left guard left behind by his ancestors played an important role. It can be seen that leading the army by the vassal king is still good for resisting foreign aggression and consolidating the family and the world. However, it seems that every king has
It was too much. So with a stroke of a pen, the guards were transformed into camps. Each king led three battalions of nine thousand soldiers. In addition to the three battalions of guards, the crown prince added a thousand honor guards.
However, what the old emperor was most afraid of was the future successor of the dynasty: the crown prince. Although there were many guards in the East Palace, they could only enter Duan Bengong (the prince's palace) during duty shifts. They were usually stationed outside the palace, and there was no military talisman.
Entering the palace. All this has changed a lot since the old emperor was seriously ill and Zhao Chengde, the eunuch in charge of the military talisman, defected to the prince. After obtaining the military talisman, the crown prince Zhu Ruoji secretly transferred his own East Palace guards,
They were transferred to the palace in batches.
The palace of Ji Wang Zhu Ruodeng is not within the palace city, but in the imperial city. With an order, the nine thousand soldiers of the palace in the third battalion were all ready for battle and filled with murderous intent.
This vassal king was a restless lord. In addition to the staff provided by his old father, he also took advantage of the opportunity of the Rakshasa expedition to secretly expand the number of ten thousand people from the northern Xinjiang tribe, led by the Buryat Mongolian Nayanzhebu and the fourth son Wang Banner.
Yan'e Mubu, Urad Banner Nayantuba, Rakshasa general Vasilev and other commanders.
Taolitonlaga, the granddaughter of Zhebu, was the second concubine of King Ji, and gave birth to her eldest son Zhu Yijiong. This actually violated the ancestral system: the concubine of the Ming Dynasty vassal king, his son has become a prince, and the legitimate concubine does not exist. Only then could she be granted the title of second concubine. However, the title was sealed with a stroke of the old emperor's pen, no matter what the ancestral system was or not; Omubu and Tuba both had clan girls as concubines of the King of Ji; Vasile My husband is a general surrendered by Tsarist Russia.
These people had little foundation in the court and could only survive by relying on King Ji, so they were loyal. Fearing that they would be impeached, Zhu Ruodeng hid them in a farm outside Nanjing in the name of a caravan. Now it was finally time to use them. time.

Qianqing Palace is the residence of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Only the emperor and the queen can live here. The rest of the concubines can only enter the palace in order and leave the same night. Unless the emperor gives permission, they cannot stay for a long time.
The old emperor handled government affairs in the main hall of the palace, but did not sleep in the palace. He had another place to sleep, which was the Nuan Pavilion at the back of Qianqing Palace. There was more than one Nuan Pavilion, but nine rooms, each divided into upper and lower rooms. Each floor is connected by stairs, and there are three beds, either above or below, for a total of twenty-seven beds.
Since Zhu Hengjia became emperor, he has become increasingly afraid of death. Which room and bed he sleeps in are all random. Even the people around him have difficulty predicting where he will sleep that night. If he wants to assassinate his majesty, It’s hard to reach the sky!
Unfortunately, the wise old emperor fell ill, and the Qianqing Palace was surrounded. The crown prince's confidant, General Yu Tai, led a thousand East Palace guards and surrounded the Qianqing Palace.
Guarding the Qianqing Palace are the palace guards, Lai Anbo, Chen Bao, and three hundred sword-wielding guards.
Originally, there were twenty-six guards of the emperor's personal bodyguards. Those responsible for protecting the emperor included: 1,507 Han generals in Jinyi Guards; 40 swordsmen in the vanguard of the imperial army; 2,500 red-helmeted generals in the Three Thousand Battalions; and 502 Mingjia generals, who were the commander-in-chief. 18 people, 8 generals of the Han Dynasty; 3,000 fork-knife guards in the fifth military camp, and 8 general commanders; no fixed number of knights in the Xunwei cavalry; 180 flag bearers and other guards with swordsmen?? A total of more than 8,300 people. There are bodyguards There are six officers in charge, one of whom is in charge of the generals of the Han Dynasty and the scattered cavalrymen, and the sword-bearers of the advance guard of the government army; one person is in charge of the fork and knife guards of the fifth military camp; four people are in charge of the red helmets and generals of Mingjia of the Three Thousand (Shenshu) Camp.< /p>
After Emperor Guangwu changed the twenty-six guards to eight towns of the forbidden army, the three towns of Yulin, Jinwu and Tengxiang took turns to guard the imperial city and the palace. At the same time, he selected the elite of the army and established a three thousand people. Palace Guards, commonly known as Ouchi Guards.
According to tradition, Zhu Hengjia also set up six bodyguards who were on duty in rotation. In order to unify power, these six bodyguards included one chief of the bodyguard and five deputy chiefs of the bodyguard. These bodyguards were not of high rank, but they represented closeness to the emperor. The degree is extremely glorious and could not be held by non-honored ministers.
Duke Shi Qiwen of Dian, Duke Yan Tianfeng of Fujian, Duke Li Mingzhong of Chang, Marquis Zhou Rui of Min'an, Bo Ma Jinzhong of Wuchang, Lai'an Bo and Chen Bao were the first six attendants. Later, the old emperor felt that these six honorable ministers, except Chen Bao, were the only ones Except for one person who is loyal to himself, the other five people are inextricably linked to the prince or King Ji.

How can this be possible? The bodyguard is my personal protector and must be loyal to me alone. He must not get involved with anyone else, not even my son!
Therefore, the old emperor did not add more officers after the deaths of Yan Tianfeng and Li Mingzhong; and in the name of old age and retirement, he transferred Shi Qiwen, Zhou Rui, and Ma Jinzhong from the positions of bodyguard officers. Since then, Amber Chen Bao has been the chief of the bodyguards, and General Han Ruyan has been the deputy bodyguard. Chief. This Han Ruyan was born in a wealthy family and had some literary talent. The old emperor felt that this person was influenced by Confucius and Mencius and should be loyal to him.
Seeing an army coming outside Qianqing Palace, Chen Bao was shocked and shouted: "Protect!"
The imperial guards all came from the elite of the army and had rich combat experience. As soon as they heard the word "escort", they immediately formed a small military formation and guarded the gate of Qianqing Palace.
"Come to Anbo. I have been ordered by the emperor to take over the defense of Qianqing Palace and protect your majesty. Please leave quickly." After Mrs. Yu finished speaking, she ordered someone to hand over an "imperial edict".
"Imperial order?"
Chen Bao was so angry that he threw the "Imperial Edict" on the ground and shouted angrily: "The Holy One is here in Qianqing Palace, how dare you to correct the edict!"
The roar shook the world. Chen Bao was known as the "enemy of ten thousand people" when he was young. Although he is now over fifty, his power is still the same as before. The huge mace in his hand shone with cold light.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
Three hundred guards shouted for kill, their momentum was stronger than that of thousands of troops.
"Old man, I think you don't want to live anymore." Yu Tai attacked Li Chu from behind his tent, leaping on his horse and coming out with a gun.
You dare to ride horses in Da Nei, you are really planning to rebel!
A cold light flashed in Chen Bao's eyes, he put down his mace, took out the big-tipped bow from his back, and what "swish" was an arrow.
What a fast arrow! Li Chu heard the sound and wanted to hide, but he couldn't. An arrow pierced his throat and knocked him off his horse.
Mrs. Yu was taken aback and said in a deep voice: "Array up!"
The military orders were like mountains, and a thousand East Palace guards were in battle formation.
