Chapter 125 The Eighteen Cavalry of the Royal Palace Guards Go South
Jia Yun followed Mu Fu and Yu Keping and rushed to the palace together.
Jia Yun and the two of them were old acquaintances, so there was no need to be too restrained. She asked them on the way: "The emperor suddenly summoned me to the palace urgently. Why?"
Mu Fu said: "We don't know either. Master Cao asked us to deliver the imperial edict to you. He also said that the three of us should go directly to Qianqing Palace to have an audience."
Jia Yun nodded, feeling a little more relaxed.
To be honest, he was worried just now.
He was bragging about his status as the top military scholar. Some officials were holding the imperial edict and beating gongs to clear the way. Even the princes and ministers had to kneel down to welcome him...
In this case, no one can easily interrupt his praise. Even if Emperor Tianzhi wants to interrupt, he will need to issue an imperial edict.
Emperor Tianzhi interrupted suddenly by issuing an imperial edict, and it was Mu Fu and Yu Keping, two palace guards who came at full speed to deliver the edict, not the palace eunuchs.
Jia Yun could not help but wonder if something bad had happened.
Now after listening to Mu Fu's words, Jia Yun felt relieved.
Since it was an imperial edict from Cao Weirang, and Jia Yun, Mu Fu, and Yu Keping were asked to go to Qianqing Palace together, Jia Yun judged that it was probably an urgent mission.
Now he has not only completed the martial arts exam, but is also a first-class bodyguard of the third rank.
Naturally, I can no longer work as a palace guard and get a salary but don't have to go to work like I did before.
…
…
Jia Yun, Mu Fu, and Yu Keping entered the palace together and arrived at Qianqing Palace. However, they were not allowed to enter immediately. Instead, they stood outside the palace and waited.
Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the palace, was standing at the entrance of the palace.
Jia Yun discovered that besides him, Mu Fu, Yu Keping, and seven other palace guards were waiting outside the Qianqing Palace.
This made Jia Yun sure that there must be some urgent task this time.
Soon eight more palace guards arrived, including Cao Wu and Tang Daqian.
When Cao Wu and Tang Daqian arrived, they were surprised to find that Jia Yun was here. They both knew that Jia Yun was going to the street to praise her officials today.
The two walked to Jia Yun and asked in a low voice why Jia Yun appeared here. Jia Yun told them, and Jia Yun also asked them and learned that they were also summoned by the palace guards, and they didn't know the reason.
At this time, eighteen palace guards had gathered outside Qianqing Palace and were waiting.
Including three first-class guards, six second-class guards, and nine third-class guards.
Two of them are related to Jia Yun.
One person is called Wu Pan!
Wu Pan was one of the first batch of martial arts students in Jing's Martial Arts School. Two months after entering the school, he was promoted from Class B to Class A by Jing Zhanyao, becoming the first outstanding martial arts student in Class A of Jing's Martial Arts School.
Wu Pan later passed the martial arts examination and was awarded the rank of second-class bodyguard of the fourth rank. He was later promoted to the first-class bodyguard of the third rank, and now he is the first-class imperial guard!
The imperial palace is divided into the outer court and the inner court.
The palace guards are also divided into outer court guards and inner court guards.
Among the guards of the foreign dynasty, the maximum number of first-class guards is 60, the maximum number of second-class guards is 150, the maximum number of third-class guards is 270, and the maximum number of blue feather guards is 90.
The outer dynasty is under the management of the Guards Department.
There is no fixed quota for imperial guards and they are selected and appointed by the emperor himself.
The inner court guards are divided into imperial guards, Qianqingmen guards, imperial guards, and Qianqingmen guards. The ranks of the guards are first-class, second-class, and third-class.
The guards of the inner court are not managed by the Guards Department, but by the imperial ministers.
Obviously, the inner court guards are very good, these are the guards who are close to the emperor!
Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, many high-ranking officials have been promoted from the guards of the inner court. Although there are also some high-ranking officials who have been promoted from the guards of the outer court, they are much less than the former.
Even the third-class guards of the inner court are not as good as the first-class guards of the outer court and the second-class guards of the outer court in terms of guard level, but their future may be better than the latter.
As the first-class imperial guard, Wu Pan is the best among the palace guards!
In addition to Wu Pan, there was also a guard at the scene who had contact with Jia Yun.
This person's name is Meng Jing.
When Jia Yun enrolled in Jingshi Martial Arts, it was Ni Hu who recommended him, and Ni Hu personally took him through the admission procedures.
When Ni Hu enrolled in Jingshi Martial Arts, it was Meng Jing who recommended him, and it was Meng Jing who personally took him through the admission procedures.
At that time, Meng Jing was a third-class bodyguard of the fifth rank.
And now Meng Jing is a second-class bodyguard of the fourth rank.
Jia Yun had no friendship with Wu Pan, but she did have some friendship with Meng Jing. Initially, Ni Hu asked his host to call both of them over, and the two began to communicate with each other, but their friendship was not deep yet.
…
…
At this time, Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the palace, confirmed that the eighteen palace guards had arrived, went into the palace to report, and when he came out, he shouted loudly: "Eighteen guards have come to the palace to see you!"
Eighteen palace guards, including Jia Yun, Cao Wu, Tang Daqian, Mu Fu, Yu Keping, Wu Pan, Meng Jing, etc., immediately and solemnly walked into the bright room of Qianqing Palace.
This is the second time Jia Yun has entered the Qianqing Palace. The last time was when he was knighted and awarded an official.
Just like the last time I came here, the bright room of Qianqing Palace is connected with the east and west rooms. The bright room looks large, spacious, magnificent and luxurious.
Emperor Tianzhi is sitting on the emperor's throne under the "Upright and Bright" plaque.
There were four people standing in the hall, namely the fourth prince Xia Yi, He Cheng, Cao Wei, and Ren Tianxiao.
The fourth prince Xia Yi is now not only Prince Zhongyong, but also the head of the bodyguard department!
Cao Wei is the head of the six internal ministers in the Guards Department!
He Cheng is the imperial minister!
Ren Tianxiao was the Admiral of the Nine Gates. The original Imperial Palace War led to the dismissal of the original Admiral of the Nine Gates. Under the arrangement of the Supreme Emperor, Ren Tianxiao took over as the Admiral of the Nine Gates.
At the moment, Emperor Tianzhi stared at Jia Yun and other eighteen palace guards for a while, and then said to Xia Yi: "Yi'er, tell them about the matter."
Xia Yi said respectfully: "Yes, father!"
Xia Yi immediately told the story...
Eunuch Pang, the confidant of the Supreme Emperor, suddenly escaped last night, and he carried a fake edict with him, which said that the Supreme Emperor ordered him to go south to Guangzhou and go to sea.
The so-called edict is the imperial edict of the Supreme Emperor.
Jia Yun and other eighteen palace guards were summoned this time to order them to ride south immediately, capture Eunuch Pang alive, and bring back a large amount of property that Eunuch Pang had taken away.
Emperor Tianzhi appointed Wu Pan as the guard leader for this mission and Jia Yun as the deputy guard leader.
After Xia Yi finished speaking, most of the eighteen palace guards were excited.
Although completing this mission is not considered a military merit, it is still considered a considerable achievement. Once completed, a reward will be given, and the top meritorious officer may even be promoted.
Immediately, Wu Pan, as the leader of the guard team this time, received an imperial edict from Dai Quan to go south and capture Eunuch Pang alive.
With this imperial edict, they will have smooth access along the way, and they can even mobilize local officers and soldiers if necessary.
Jia Yun and other eighteen palace guards immediately walked out of Qianqing Palace.
Today, eighteen of the palace guards rode south, captured Eunuch Pang alive, and brought back a large amount of property...
