Fujimaki raised his head and said with emotion: "I came to the Tang Dynasty with the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. I originally wanted to study Confucian classics, but then I saw military books in the Chongwen Museum. This is what I want to learn. So I volunteered to join the army.
After practicing Tang Dynasty swordsmanship, he finally came to the palace of the Crown Prince and served as the internal leader of Qianniu."
"In fact, my biggest wish is to go to the border of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. Only there can I appreciate the essence of the Tang army."
Li Siye breathed a sigh of relief and finally changed the topic.
The three of them came outside the check-in door of Neizhu Mansion and heard a group of people whispering inside, with a hint of joking in their words: "Have you heard that the new Qianniu is here because he makes good cakes?"
Sent by the saint to the prince's inner command."
"Anyway, I heard that this person presented a dish to the saint, and I was confused. A well-cooked dish should go to the Food Bureau, so why did you come to serve Qianniu?"
"That's right, what Prince Su Wei needs is to be proficient in swords and guns and let the cook protect the prince. If he really encounters this assassin, what can he do? Can he just throw a dish at him?"
Everyone laughed and laughed.
Liu Ziwu turned around and smiled at Li Siye: "Don't care what these people say. When your position of Qianniu was vacant, many people were watching it. Now it is suddenly occupied by someone else. If they don't say a few words, of course they won't."
Comfortable."
Li Siye nodded clearly. No wonder people say that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The Prince's East Palace is actually also a workplace.
Liu Ziwu coughed and pushed the door open. Those who were whispering shut their mouths at the right time, sitting cross-legged on the ground, or talking about other things.
The duty room of the Qianniu was not in the same place as the duty room of the guards and the main soldiers. It seemed to be of a slightly higher grade. Inside was a low couch and a rolled-up quilt. The three of them sat cross-legged in front of the desk.
At this time, another Qian Niu walked in. This man's name was Gao Sheng. The four of them were organized into a group and took turns guarding the palace with the other three groups.
"Tomorrow morning, it will be our group's turn to accompany the prince into the palace. Brother Siye, when the time comes, watch more, talk less and do less. Just be puppets."
"Really?" Li Siye was excited. He really wanted to visit the Daming Palace up close. "What should I pay attention to then? Are there any taboos?"
"That's not true. We are just the prince's guards. We don't need to do anything. We only need to protect the prince's safety."
He suddenly realized a fatal problem. He knew nothing about sword skills. If there was an assassin and the opponent was very skilled, he couldn't fight with his bare hands.
"Everyone." Li Siye raised his hands and asked, "I would like to ask if you have any sword manuals or anything like that. I want to practice a sword technique."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and several people stared at each other. Liu Ziwu suddenly came over and asked, "You can't really only know how to cook, right?"
"No," Li Siye said with a blush, "I'm best at fighting with bare hands, and I'm also pretty good at stick skills, but I've never practiced swordsmanship."
"This is easy, haha."
Gao Sheng said from the side: "You Nei Lv Mansion has a sword training room with wooden swords and protective gear. When the time comes, we will practice more and train you, and you will be good at it. But what you have to learn first is not sword training. As the prince Nei Lv, you will not
It’s OK to know how to knife, but you can’t play polo. Hey, how are your riding skills?”
"This..." Li Siye was stuck for a moment.
"Don't tell me you can't even ride a horse?"
…
The management of the Crown Prince Younei is relatively easy. The sixteen Qianniu implement a rotating rest system, and they can go home for one day of rest every three days. Then there are the palace guards, who change shifts at night. In a word, wherever the Prince usually appears, they
You can follow wherever you go.
Since they had to escort the prince to the palace to attend court the next day, Li Siye and the four of them did not have to stay on duty in the prince's palace tonight and could just lie in bed and wait for the day.
This was the first day of novelty and excitement for Li Siye. He was not sleepy at all, but his mind was very clear. The three people around him were snoring like thunder, which instilled a sense of confusion in his sobriety.
The prince Li Ying will be killed by his father in the future. As the prince, he will inevitably be involved in twists and turns. Moreover, there are historical rumors that Li Ying was misled by Concubine Wu Hui and led troops into the palace to catch thieves. As a result, he was attacked by the prison guards.
, these soldiers may include them in the future. Should he start planning now, to stay away from this accident, or to change the fate of the prince?
With these thoughts in mind, Li Siye fell into a deep sleep. It seemed that he only slept for a short moment, but he was woken up by someone tapping on his shoulder.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Liu Ziwu and others had climbed out of their quilts and started to put on their cloth back armor.
Liu Ziwu put on his leggings and said, "I really admire you. When I first served as a thousand bulls to escort the prince into the palace, I was so excited that I didn't even fall asleep the night before."
Li Siye seemed a little busy for a while. There were too many things to be tied up on his body, such as skirt armor, greaves, shoulder armor, belly protector, and then he had to tie the futou, hang the cross sword, and keep his appearance neat.
Liu Ziwu looked at the jokes that the newcomers often made, grinned and said: "Brother Siye, don't be too busy, the prince's place is more complicated than us, and there is plenty of time."
Even so, Li Siye still put on his clothes, and the Japanese Fujimaki helped him tie the turban.
"Okay, we can set off, don't let the prince wait for us."
Liu Ziwu led the way and was the steward of their group. The four of them lined up neatly in front of the prince's palace.
At this time, four people also came to the prince's palace from the opposite direction. These four people should be Qianniu led by the prince Zuo Nei. The two groups just nodded tacitly and did not communicate much.
Of course, there were more than just these eight people escorting the prince to his morning court. They were just close bodyguards, and there were 16 guards in front and behind, armed with swords, bows and crossbows, and forty main soldiers lined up with guns and halberds.
Accompanying the prince were the prince Shao Zhan Shi and the prince Dian Nei. One was a civil servant and the other was a eunuch. The two rode horses side by side, sandwiching the prince in the middle. In total, the prince's early court attendance was eighty or ninety people, but those who could really follow him
Only Shao Zhanshi entered the palace, and the rest stopped halfway.
Although it is summer at this time, the days are long and the nights are short, but the sky is still gray. When the curfew lifting bell rang, their queue began to move forward, walking eastward from the Jiafu Gate of the East Palace and out of the Yanxi Gate.
Go to Yongchangfang, where you can meet civil and military officials who are preparing to go to court just like the prince.
Officials do not have expensive guards like princes. They usually ride horses, and the prince sometimes rides in a sedan chair. They are usually accompanied by several servants.
When the team arrived outside Danfeng Gate, most of the prince's guards had to stay outside. Only eight Qianniu could escort the prince inside.
Li Siye felt lucky and excited. He was finally able to see with his own eyes the Daming Palace, the towering building complex that surpasses ancient and modern times. Of course, he would not see the greatness of the emperor in it. Every brick and tile of this huge building is the sweat of the working people.
And crystallization, this is because he has the correct three views and thoughts.
