Chapter 1205 Leading the Twelve Guards
Prince Yu Wenzui finally spoke at this time.
However, when Shang Ruyi turned her head and formally met his eyes, she suddenly felt that those originally clear eyes were a little strange.
Even though they were already on the same level, she had to admit that Yuwen Sui had outstanding appearance, especially those translucent eyes that were as clear as a pool of blue water. When they first met in Yanyue City, he was covered by a snow-white monk's robe. It was so tight that only her eyes were exposed, which made her extremely stunning.
But now, those bright eyes felt inexplicably empty.
Although those eyes in the past were too shallow and clear, so it seemed like there was nothing in them, but Shang Ruyi understood that that "nothing" was intentional. He didn't want others to see clearly, so no one could. Find out what's in his eyes.
And at this moment, that "nothing" is true.
Not only his eyes, Shang Ruyi even felt that something had been taken away from his whole body. Although he was tall and tall, even though he was dressed in rich clothes, even though he stood behind Yu Dingxing like a huge god, casting a shadow that was almost It covers the entire Tai Chi Hall, but the soul in the body... seems to be empty.
Of course, not all is lost.
That gloomy look also completely covered up the original lightness of his eyes.
Seeing him slowly walking out, Yu Wenye took a deep breath, raised his head and met his eyes, raised his hands and saluted: "Brother Emperor."
Yuwen said sadly: "If the second brother and the third brother had not worked together, we might not have been able to take Luoyang so quickly. Since my father has consecrated the third brother as the General of Zhenbei, I believe that the second brother should also be rewarded."< br>
Shang Ruyi's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Yu Wenye's eyes flickered, but his expression did not relax at all. He just smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."
Yu Wenyuan looked at the two handsome and handsome sons in the hall through the jade in front of him. It was obvious that he had captured the most important Luoyang. There was no longer a threat that could affect the survival of the Dasheng Dynasty. He He could even predict how he would be able to show off his skills on this land in the future. Under such an unprecedented victory, his joy was still not worth the trouble of seeing his two sons standing in front of him.
There are exactly two...
Feeling that he had been silent for too long, even Eunuch Yu next to him looked at him cautiously as a reminder. Yu Wenyuan finally recovered his mind and said: "The prince is right. King Qin——"
Yu Wenye immediately stepped forward: "My son and I are here."
Yu Wenyuan said: "What do you want?"
Yu Wenye said: "My son wants to open a mansion."
I originally thought that the father and son would have to fight for a while. After all, the reward in the previous imperial edict was obviously aimed at Princess Qin, and the King of Qin already had countless official positions, and the higher the titles, the more titles there were. There was no reward for him directly in the imperial edict just now; as for his reward, Yu Wenyuan had been thinking about it for a long time, and everyone thought that King Qin should be cautious if he spoke.
Unexpectedly, he immediately asked for it as soon as he opened his mouth.
But it is Kaifu.
Even Shang Ruyi glanced at him in surprise, but didn't say anything easily.
Opening a mansion and building teeth. Although Yu Wenye had promised her before this expedition to Luoyang that after opening a mansion, she would be able to visit her uncle and aunt frequently. At that time, he said this with almost certainty. He was extremely confident in the battle in Luoyang - after all, his secret chess player Pei Xingyuan had already led him Liang Youying and Jiang Ai sneaked into Luoyang; secondly, even if he did not have the military exploits in the First Battle of Luoyang, as a general of Tiance, he also held official positions such as Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province, Yongzhou Mu, and Zhongshu Ling. This kind of The situation also requires that the government be opened in order to better handle affairs. Even if Yu Wenyuan is accurate, it is not a reward.
Sure enough, the emperor also hesitated: "This is natural."
"..."
"I have long considered letting you build a mansion for King Qin, but Yuan Qian is still young, so I can't bear to let him go. But - whatever, the Ministry of Rites immediately selected a mansion for King Qin to build a mansion for King Qin."
The Minister of Rites hurriedly responded: "Yes."
After saying that, there was some silence in the hall.
Not only was Yu Wenyuan silent, Yu Wenye did not speak, but the civil and military officials around him were also quiet. This quietness was not that no one dared to speak, but that everyone seemed to be waiting for the emperor to speak again.
The King of Qin has made such great achievements, and the reward is just to open a palace and build a tooth?
Yu Wenyuan's hand holding the dragon chair tightened slightly.
Although he was sitting high above the hall, at this moment, he felt as if he was being held high. This was the first time he felt that the power was clearly in his hands and he was using it. , but suddenly there was a feeling that it didn't belong to him.
Facing the hundreds of eyes below the main hall, he finally said: "I read your military report. This time you used three thousand cavalry to resist Xiao Yuansui's 100,000 army at Hulao Pass, and captured 80,000. This is actually the establishment of our dynasty. This is an unprecedented victory, just opening a palace and building a tooth, which is not much of a reward.”
Yu Wenye lowered his head: "Father, your words are serious." Yu Wenyuan said again: "It's just that after you open the mansion, you will definitely take Yuan Qian away, but I miss him again and always hope that you can take him with you often. Come back to the palace and show me..."
He paused and said: "The King of Qin accepts the title."
Yu Wenye immediately said: "I am here."
Yu Wenyuan said: "I canonize you to lead the Twelve Guards General, and to stay in the capital of the capital."
Upon hearing this, Yu Dingxing immediately widened his only remaining eye.
The Twelve Guards are the military positions that have been inherited from the Daye Dynasty to this day. They include the Left and Right Imperial Guards, the Left and Right Xiao Guards, the Left and Right Tun Guards, etc. The original Wang Shaoji was the General of the Zuo Tun Guard, and Lei Yu’s father Lei Yi was They are General Zuo Yuwei, and General Zuo Yuwei Yu who stayed in Chang'an and conspired with Yu Wensu to take Chang'an. Dingxing, who only commanded one of the troops, was already very powerful and powerful. However, these twelve guards had different responsibilities according to the emperor's setting and arrangements. Some guarded the capital, some went out to quell the rebellion, and almost They all fought on their own, and there was never one position to command all the Twelve Guards.
But now, Yu Wenyuan has appointed him as the general leading the Twelve Guards, which means that he is allowed to command these twelve armies!
No wonder Yu Dingxing's face suddenly darkened.
But Shang Ruyi's face was also a little gloomy - although this general who led the twelve guards sounded very scary, when Chu Yang moved the capital to Luoyang, he took away the left and right guards, the left and right imperial guards, the left and right Yulin guards, and the left and right Jinwu Among the guards, only Yu Dingxing's left Xiao Guards, Su Changjing's Right Xiao Guards, and left and right Wei guards remained in Daxing City.
Even if Yu Wenyuan expanded the number of four guards after he ascended the throne, it would still be less than half of the number when Emperor Wen set up twelve guards.
Such a reward sounds scary, but in the final analysis it is not of much use. After all, the Zuo Xiao Guards under Yu Dingxing and the You Xiao Guards who have been with him for a long time and are now handed over to his son-in-law are almost all his. Confidants, even if Yu Wenye is superior to the Twelve Guards - this is what makes Yu Dingxing unhappy, but with them around, it will be difficult for Yu Wenye to truly control the left and right Xiao Guards in his hands.
This is a half-empty title.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi turned to look at Yu Wenye - if he just asked for the opening of a mansion and a dental implant as his reward, he was stepping back to make progress, then she dared to conclude that this was definitely not the result that Yu Wenye wanted for taking that step back. !
However, Yu Wenye did not hesitate at all and immediately said: "Thank you, Father!"
"...!"
Shang Ruyi opened his eyes in shock.
Even Yu Wenyuan was a little surprised. He thought that giving Yu Wenye this mid-air title would definitely arouse his dissatisfaction, but he didn't expect that he would accept it so obediently.
At this moment, the emperor's calculation and ruthlessness unconsciously faded away. Looking at this son who had just fought bloody battles for himself and narrowly escaped death in Hulao Pass, the feeling of being a father came to Yu Wenyuan's heart again, and his breath gradually He became gentler and even a little unbearable: "Do you want any more rewards?"
Yu Wenye said: "I have a small request."
Yu Wenyuan said: "You say."
Yu Wenye said: "Currently, the twelve guards in Chang'an City only have left and right Xiao Guards and left and right Mighty Guards, and the number is less than 20,000. When Xiazhou was besieged by the Western Turks before, the DPRK could hardly mobilize any extra troops to assist. Or should Ruyi lead a small number of troops to rush to the rescue? Although she relieved the crisis in Xiazhou, Xiao Yuansui later sent troops to march westward along Huaizhou and Heyang, hoping to take Chang'an directly. In order to protect Chang'an, she led her troops to block the opponent's 80,000 troops in Huyang Valley. In three days, all the troops and horses were exhausted."
Hearing this, many people in the hall let out shocked sighs.
Even Yu Wenyuan frowned: "Is it true?"
After he knew that the crisis in Xiazhou was resolved, he focused all his attention on Hulao Pass and Luoyang. He did not expect that such an episode would happen in the middle.
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "It's absolutely true, my men and horses were indeed wiped out in Huyang Valley."
At this moment, Yu Wenyuan's unnoticeable guilt and intolerance surged up like a tide, almost engulfing him. He clenched the armrests of his dragon chair tightly. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, his breathing was somewhat disordered. Even the jade hairpin in front of him shook slightly, and the people below could see his face clearly at this moment.
He said: "So, you want-"
Yu Wenye said: "The Western Turks have always been dominant in the north and are eyeing us. Although Chang'an is named Chang'an, it will be really uneasy if things continue like this."
"..."
"Since I lead the Twelve Guards, I naturally do my best to guard the capital. Therefore, I want to expand the left and right Xiao Guards and the left and right Wei Guards, and at the same time, restore the Twelve Guards."
Yu Wenyuan's heart skipped a beat.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but just now Yu Wenye's repeated concessions had brought him, the father, the emperor here. Even to resolve the crisis in Xiazhou, it was Shang Ruyi, the Princess of Qin, who was running to resolve the crisis. In Huyanggu, he was put in danger to protect Chang'an.
At this time, could he... refuse?
Yu Wenyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "It would be good to restore the Twelve Guards, but at present, the imperial court does not have that many soldiers and horses."
