After Li Xu and the five people present were all polite, the emperor on the throne spoke slowly and said in a deep voice: "I, my brother, have all seen you."

"When Chang'an broke the city, he stayed alone in Chang'an and fought the thieves to death. However, he was outnumbered and was seriously injured and left the people. It was only after I returned to Chang'an that I realized that he was still alive."

"Haruo has enough character and talent. I decided to appoint him as the general of the Imperial Guard. Do you think it is okay?"

The two slaughter glanced at each other and lowered their heads without saying a word.

The three governors each have their own thoughts.

It was still the first time Qi Shidao stood up. He first glanced at Li Xu's legs, then looked at the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the prince's character and talent are indeed sufficient to be competent for the position of this general, but..."

General Qi lowered his eyebrows slightly.

"But this is a military position after all."

Qi Shidao glanced at Li Xu's right leg and said, "It may not be convenient for His Royal Highness to take this position."

Li Xu is lame.

A cripple person, being a civil servant, will hurt the court's dignity, let alone military positions. In terms of personnel appointments, Li Xu will indeed not be the general of the imperial guards.

The emperor's face changed slightly and he looked at Master Qi.

General Qi was calm and continued, "Your Majesty, according to my wishes, Your Highness is not suitable for this position. You can choose another person to serve as the General of the Imperial Army. The specific military affairs will be managed by His Highness."

As a military man, Qi Shidao naturally did not want to see a cripple taking office as the general of the court. Not to mention whether Li Xu could hold this position firmly, even if he sat firmly, if he was spread in the future, the general of the imperial guard was a cripple, which would inevitably cause criticism.

Even... it will become a laughing stock!

Hearing this, the emperor frowned.

He originally only wanted to choose a trustworthy person to be the general of the imperial guards, but he never thought about Li Xu's health reasons. Now, after hearing what Qi Shidao said, it really makes some sense.

The emperor looked at Li Xu, whose face turned slightly pale and his eyebrows were lowered and he remained silent.

"I agree with His Highness the Crown Prince as the General of the Imperial Army."

A clear voice came, and everyone looked in the voice, and saw Duke Yue silently stand up and bow to the emperor and say, "Your Majesty, others don't know the inside story, but I know how the prince's leg hurts."

"I was still in Qingzhou and served as the general manager of Qingzhou. I was preparing to lead the royal army to recover Youzhou for the court. His Highness the Crown Prince passed on orders for the saints at that time, and it happened to be in Youzhou."

"He has to go to the battlefield no matter what. I have been trying hard for a long time, but it will be useless. In the end, he can only let His Highness participate in the Battle of Youzhou."

"The battle in Youzhou was quite smooth. The king's army successfully recaptured Youzhou, but His Highness also injured his right leg. The doctor saw it at that time and there was no big problem. As long as you rest with peace of mind, you will be well in two or three months. What should I do..."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhao took a deep breath and said, "However, at that time, the bad news of Tongguan being broken was spread to Qingzhou. His Royal Highness refused to rest no matter what, and rushed back to Guanzhong overnight. He couldn't recover from his injuries all the way, so he fell out of his leg."

"The injury of the crown prince is entirely due to his sincere loyalty. I believe that his leg fatigue should not be an obstacle to his appointment as a general."

After Lin Zhao said this, everyone present was silent.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at his brother silently and sighed: "If it weren't for Lin Qing, I wouldn't know that there would be such a past event."

He looked at Li Xu and sighed in a tone: "My eighth brother has paid too much for the Great Week in recent years."

Li Xu knelt in front of the emperor and kowtowed, "This minister... should do what he should do."

The emperor looked around and said in a deep voice: "Now, are there anyone who opposes my imperial guards' general?

Lin Zhao spoke, but Lin Jian naturally would not object, and Cao Song had no reason to object. Qi Shidao remained silent, and Wang Fu also acknowledged this matter and did not speak.

"That's OK."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Then this matter is settled. Looking back, the ministers have proposed a charter for recruiting the imperial guards, and the eighth brothers will be responsible for starting the reorganization of the imperial guards."

Everyone stood up one after another and bowed.

The emperor also stood up and said slowly: "Today I will come here in advance, I have worked hard for you."

Everyone bowed again, not even dared to do so.

"It's over."

The emperor yawned and spoke to the eunuch beside him: "Zhou Zhen, I will send you a gift to you on my behalf."

The eunuch quickly lowered his head and personally sent everyone out of Tai Chi Palace.

The five people, together with Li Xu, left the Tai Chi Palace.

After walking out of Tai Chi Palace, Lin Zhao turned around and looked up and down a few times, and asked in surprise: "Senior brother is going to leave the palace too?"

Li Xu and Li Xun brothers have been together since childhood. In the past, when the emperor was in power, he often lived in the Eastern Palace. Generally speaking, he did not have to leave the Tai Chi Palace with these ministers.

Li Xu lowered his eyebrows slightly and said, "Yes, I want to go home."

"The Song Palace also moved back to Chang'an yesterday. There are still hundreds of people of all sizes in the family. It should be a mess when they just returned to Chang'an."

Speaking of this, Li Xu paused and said, "After I returned to Chang'an, I have been living in the palace and have not returned home yet."

Lin Zhao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Is Prince Song in good health?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Xu frowned slightly.

"I haven't seen my father yet, but I heard it's not very good."

Li Xu lowered his eyebrows and said, "He is old and fell ill after going to Xichuan. It seems that he is not suitable for the local conditions. This time, His Majesty wanted him to recuperate in Xichuan, but he would come back to Chang'an no matter what. No matter what, he said, he would die in Chang'an."

Lin Zhao sighed.

"Senior brother is busy with work, so I won't bother you at the mansion. After the senior brother has been busy with this, I will come to visit Prince Song again."

"good."

Li Xu smiled at Lin Zhao, and then subconsciously wanted to reach out and pat Lin Zhao on the shoulder, but as soon as he reached out, he shrank back and smiled awkwardly: "When I've been busy for this period, I'll invite Sanlang to drink in Guiyunlou."

"Speaking of this, we brothers have not drunk alcohol together for a long time."

Mr. Lin nodded slightly: "Okay, that's it."

His Royal Highness smiled and looked at Lin Zhao: "Goodbye Sanlang, I should call Sanlang Prince Yue."

According to Li Xu, Prince Song is not in good health. If His Highness, Prince Song dies, the next time the two of them meet again, they may be the king.

"Don't dare to expect it."

Lin Zhao smiled politely: "I am already intimidated by the Duke of the People."

After the two of them had a few polite words, Li Xu walked up to Lin Jian again, said a few words to Lin Jian, and then limped into the sedan chair carried by two eunuchs beside him.

His legs and feet are inconvenient, so this is the carriage arranged by the emperor for him.

The sedan chair was lifted up by two strong eunuchs and slowly disappeared into the palace.

Uncle and nephew Lin Zhao looked at the carriage that was leaving, thinking about it.

Yuan Dagong was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at Lin Zhao, and spoke, "Sanlang, the prince suddenly appeared at this time, and he was the general of the imperial guard..."

Lin Zhao turned his head to look at his uncle and said silently: "It's probably... it didn't appear a few days ago."

Lin Sanlang narrowed his eyes and wanted to say something to Lin Jian, but after thinking about it, he gave up and just smiled freely.

“It’s always a good thing that your student is still there.”
