Chapter 630 Internal Strife Among the Imperial Guards

Xie Jin's leg was in severe pain. He carefully rubbed it with his hands. When the numbness gradually eased, he tried to stand up.

"Did you get up?" Rong Yu frowned.

Xie Jin instantly knelt back and looked up at Rong Yu: "Your Majesty, your Majesty. Together, I and Crown Prince Yao are no match for Your Majesty. I'm really ashamed of myself. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Shameful?" Rong Yu stood in front of the imperial case, his eyes falling on the two people in front of him, "Whose idea was it to sneak attack on me?"

Xie Jindao and Xuanyuan Yao almost said in unison: "My idea."

Rong Yu's face was expressionless.

"It...isn't considered a sneak attack." Xuanyuan Yao explained weakly, "We just wanted to know how powerful the Lord is, but we were worried that we were no match for the Lord, so we came up with a surprise..."

Unexpected?

"Quite promising." Rong Yu's voice was indifferent, and there was no hint of emotion or anger. "Should I be happy that you think so highly of me?"

Xuanyuan Yao lowered his head and said respectfully: "I know my mistake, please punish me."

"What is the punishment?" Rong Yu asked, "You are punished for the lower level and the upper level, with the intention of assassinating my king?"

Xuanyuan Yao's scalp tightened: "I have slacked off my martial arts due to punishment, but I dare to take advantage of others."

I would never dare to take the charge of assassination.

"Since you have the idea of ​​​​challenging me, I will let you have fun tonight." Rong Yu then graciously let them get up, turned around and walked out, "Follow me to the school grounds."

Well?

Xie Jin's expression froze slightly, and he turned to look at Xuanyuan Yao. It seemed like he was playing a little too much. He would have to try out all eighteen weapons before going to the school grounds.

Their eyes met, and the two of them were silent, so they had no choice but to get up and follow.

Their hunch was right, tonight was indeed not going to be easy.

The inner court campus is where the imperial guards usually gather for training. It is located outside the Fengtian Gate. It has a wide terrain and is fully equipped with weapons.

The two followed Rong Yu to the school grounds, only to find that there were many people on the school grounds at this moment, and Chu Hongyi was also there.

Rong Yu paused slightly.

Torches were lit around the school grounds, and the flames illuminated the school grounds. Chu Hongyi was sitting on the horse, with an aura that was unstoppable, and her voice was cold and angry: "All those involved in the fight will not be able to complete a hundred laps tonight, and tomorrow morning Take off your military uniform, remove your military status and go back to nurse your child!”

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao stood beside Rong Yu, frowning slightly as they looked at the people in front of them who shouldn't be in the school grounds.

Xuanyuan Yao looked around and calmly stepped forward to ask about the situation. The people watching from the outside of the school grounds did not recognize Xuanyuan Yao for a moment. When someone asked, they casually replied: "A few nobles are on duty outside the palace. The fight with the guards of Hanmen got a bit big and alerted General Chu. "

When Chu Hongyi heard the news, she rushed to the scene of the incident without a moment's delay. Without asking the reason, she said directly: "Since you all have nothing to do and need to vent your excess energy by fighting, let's go to the school ground." Go practice.”

So all the people involved in the fight were brought to the school grounds, but it was obvious that these people were not convinced.

Xuanyuan Yao frowned slightly, glanced at everyone on the campus, turned back to Rong Yu, and briefly stated the matter: "Someone in the forbidden army stirred up trouble, saying that there was a conflict between the noble clan children and the Hanmen guard. There was a fight outside, and General Chu brought it to the school field to deal with it late at night. The situation must be serious. "

After Chu Hongyi took over the imperial army, although she was not on duty for a long time, she often came to the school grounds to gather all the imperial guards before going on duty in the afternoon to correct the previous laziness and slackness of the imperial army.

The imperial guards guarding the inner city of the palace are all specially trained. They have a higher status than the imperial guards outside the palace, have more salary, and are more prestigious when they go out. Therefore, the noble families in the imperial capital will send their children in through connections - of course, although there are many of these people, But the proportion among the total forbidden army is not large.

More of the imperial guards came from poor families.

When the Supreme Emperor was in power, he once rectified the Imperial Guards. At that time, most of the Imperial Guards were children of the gentry who were dawdling around and earning salaries. Later, the Supreme Emperor decreed that young men from poor families should be selected to enter the palace for training, and the court would provide them with salaries. Those whose families were too poor to support their wives were Parents who have many children will send their sons to the palace.

The children of the noble clan were naturally reluctant to part with the hardships of training during their youth, and their salary was not much. They could only make ends meet while sending some more to their families. The children of the noble clan did not look down on them, so there was no dispute over interests. They officially joined the army after the training. After being banned from the army, you will get a little more salary.

Some of the gentry children who joined the Forbidden Army through the back door have not been trained, and their physical fitness is naturally not as good as that of the trained children from poor families, so they cannot bear the unified training. When Commander Yang was in charge of the Forbidden Army, he turned a blind eye to these gentry children. With one eye closed, he would let go of the nobles' children during the training and muddle along.

The nobles' children were superior in status, and the guards of the Han Clan were unwilling to offend them. Even if they were occasionally bullied by the nobles' children, they would choose to tolerate it as much as possible because they could not afford to offend them.

However, the good times did not last long.

After Commander Yang was dealt with, Chu Hongyi took power, and the nobles all suffered some losses. Because Chu Hongyi was strict in running the army, she applied the same tactics from the military camp to the imperial army, treating the nobles and the poor alike equally. , no one could get special treatment, so these noble guards who had never experienced hardships complained that they couldn't bear it. They complained and complained under the harsh training for days. Not only were they dissatisfied with Chu Hongyi, but they were also dissatisfied with their good performance. The poor guard also had resentment.

When grievances last for a long time, it is inevitable that you will find an opportunity to explode.

That’s why tonight’s show happened.

Xie Jin looked around nonchalantly. There were quite a few people gathered around the training ground, including more than 30 people standing in the training ground, looking at Chu Hongyi with some disdain.

"It's the middle of the night, General Chu should be at home nursing his child!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the other people burst into laughter.

"No! The Prince's family in Prince Jing's Mansion is run by men at home and women at home. At this time, Prince Qi should be at home nursing the child."

"General Chu is a heroic woman, and she is so valiant. Prince Qi is so lucky. He can live off a gigolo with just a face. It's really enviable."

"Hahaha... Zhou Hu, what you said is wrong. I don't envy gigolos! After all, I don't have a face as beautiful as Prince Qi, right? I can't even eat if I want to-"

"Aren't you still jealous? If you really have a face as beautiful as a flower, you might enjoy eating more than anyone else."

After the words fell, there was another burst of laughter: "Hahaha..."

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows. These people who don't know how to live or die actually dared to shout in front of Chu Hongyi? Have they never experienced Chu Hongyi's methods?

"I will say it again. From now on, all those who participated in the fight will run 100 laps around the parade ground." Chu Hongyi said in a cold and tough tone, "Those who disobey orders will take off their military uniforms immediately and be expelled from the military!"
