With the New Year approaching, Chang''an City has gradually restored its former prosperity.
The former quiet palace is also getting busy.
Palace maids and eunuchs actively prepared items to pray for, and major officials began to collect items to buy.
Behind this bustling scene, a vortex of power struggle is also gradually running.
As the initiator of the beginning of the struggle, Hou Junji was busy.
Dressed in silver armour and a general''s cloak, a head of silver hair is clear and neatly folded over the head.
Although he is more than half a hundred years old, he is energetic and radiant.
Stride in the north gate camp of the imperial city.
When the two guards saw Hou Junji coming face to face, they bowed and said.
"General Hou!"
Hou Junji glanced slightly, nodded slowly and said.
"Can the left and right guards be in the barracks?"
The camp guard nodded and said.
"The two generals are training at the school yard."
Hearing the speech, Hou Junji nodded slightly, touched the troop symbol from his arms and said.
"The general came here today to review the soldiers of Qianniu guard, but you report it quickly."
The guard caught a glimpse of the amulet in Hou Junji''s hand, which was the one his majesty took with him. Without hesitation, he turned and ran into the barracks.
Hou Junji strode towards the commanding post.
The huge general platform stands high in the north of the school yard. Looking at the whole qianniuwei camp, it is in the bottom of my eyes.
Large and small banners surrounded the whole school field, and the training soldiers practiced seriously under the leadership of their generals.
In a few moments.
Under the order of the guard, all 30000 thousand cattle guards moved slowly towards the commanding platform.
Hou Junji looked at the front line moving neatly under the stage and marveled in his heart.
It is worthy of being a royal army. It is one level ahead of ordinary soldiers in momentum.
These officers and men are dressed in silver armor and "thousand ox knives" at their waist. On the silver tassel helmets, two long bird feathers rippling with the wind are particularly beautiful.
In ordinary times, the imperial forest and dragon martial arts are controlled by your Majesty''s confidants.
Amid the smoke and dust, all four teams gathered.
Hou Junji stood on the commanding officer''s desk and looked at the 60000 troops in front of him.
In the cold wind, Hou Junji''s powerful voice sounded.
"Officers and men! Your majesty marched in person, and the safety of the imperial city fell on every soldier''s head."
"I was ordered by your majesty to temporarily command the imperial forest army."
"I hope all departments will cooperate closely to eliminate the order in the palace and wait for the dispatch."
As soon as the voice fell, general Zuo Wei said.
"General Hou, the imperial forest army has always only recognized the talisman. Although the will has been fulfilled, you can have your Majesty''s talisman in hand."
Hearing the speech, Hou Junji smiled and said.
"General Tian is meticulous and considerate. He strictly abides by military regulations. It''s very good."
After that, Hou Junji slowly took out the talisman and shook it, saying.
"Here is your Majesty''s Amulet!"
On the high platform, the bright fish sign is very conspicuous.
The generals can see clearly that it is the fish amulet held by your majesty.
General Hou showed it for a moment, slowly took the fish symbol back into his arms and shouted.
"The imperial army is the key to the comfort of the imperial city and the survival of the royal family."
"Now, I''m acting as the commander temporarily, so I should live up to your Majesty''s great trust and renovate the imperial city."
After that, Hou Junji slowly paced up a few steps, his eyes swept one by one from the Fourth Army at the north gate, and the dignified shouts and shouts blew up the whole school field.
Under the stage, general Tian glanced at the right back general next to him, glanced obliquely at Hou Junji on the stage and whispered.
"What the hell does Hou Junji want?"
"That is to take office. With your Majesty''s imperial edict and military amulet, you can take office."
"Now the imperial city is safe and stable. We all perform our respective duties. What does he mean by shouting on this stage?"
The right guard general snorted and said.
"What else can it mean?"
"When a new official takes office, he wants to build military prestige."
"If it weren''t for the sake of his Duke, the four armies of the north gate wouldn''t bother to pay attention to him."
After hearing these words, general Zuo Weitian looked disdainful.
"I think he is old and confused. He is used to the position of the chief General in the army in the southwest and runs to our imperial city to show off."
Speaking of this, the right back general sighed and said sarcastically.
"This man is old, but the family can''t stand the appearance. Naturally, he is anxious. I''m afraid he wants to find a trace of comfort in the army."
"In my opinion, Hou Junji is not only greedy for money, but also greedy for power."
After listening to the words of the right guard general, general Tian pulled at the corners of his mouth and said.
"When Gaochang was destroyed, he swallowed the spoils of war and was impeached by all the officials. If it weren''t for the guarantee of the king of Tang, I''m afraid his head would have fallen."
"Now I dare to be greedy and bold."
They looked at Hou Junji, who was still passionate on the stage. When they looked at each other, they could see the contempt in each other''s eyes.
After a incense stick, Hou Junji finished his long speech.
After looking at the soldiers standing under the stage, Hou Junji waved his hand and said.
"Today, I say here that the new year is approaching. I hope all departments will perform their duties, strictly abide by military regulations and dissolve."
After saying that, looking at the four generals who turned around, Hou Junji shouted and said.
"Four generals, stay. Please come to the big account of the Chinese army."
