The Imperial Guards, also known as the Imperial Army, are different from the Imperial Army generally referred to as the 800,000 Imperial Army instructor.
Not that much, and not that bad either.
To be honest, the so-called imperial guards of the later Song Dynasty were just a group of miscellaneous soldiers in Zhao Xin's eyes.
Today, the imperial guards of the Qin Dynasty are one of the eight guards of the Southern Army of the Beijing Camp.
Similarly, the Jinyiwei is also one of the eight guards of the Southern Army, but unfortunately the Jinyiwei is not good at fighting, and most of its personnel are not in the capital.
Compared with them, the Imperial Guards are much stronger. In the early years, they were one of the strongest armies in the Qin Dynasty, although they have now been corrupted beyond recognition by the children of nobles.
But it still looks a bit like that.
Another more important point is that the Imperial Guards are the only two armies stationed within the imperial city.
The other one is the Jinwu Guard, but just like the Jinyi Guard has evolved into a secret service agency, the Jinwu Guard has completely become a ceremonial guard.
Even the weapons they held were unsharpened. Their only advantage was that they looked handsome, very handsome. Their only characteristic was that they were big. The men were tall, the horses were tall, and the weapons were also big. Each of them held a golden axe and stood at the palace gate, looking like a god.
But combat effectiveness, haha...
Don’t ask, I just don’t know.
So Zhao Xin wanted to attack the Imperial Guards from the very beginning. He had originally planned to let Li Cunxiao go, but that guy would definitely be very powerful if he was allowed to go into battle and kill the enemy.
As for the others, they just don't seem reliable.
After rescuing Liang Xiping, Zhao Xin treated him coldly on the surface, but in fact he quietly placed him in the imperial guards.
And Liang Xiping did not disappoint him.
"but……"
The Royal Guards are his trump card, and it would be a waste to use them now.
Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment, and at that moment, someone outside suddenly announced, "Your Majesty, Miss Sun Nan Luoying of the Grand Marshal's Mansion is outside the palace requesting an audience."
"Um?"
Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Nan Luoying to really come, and at this critical moment.
But then he suddenly had an idea, and he slapped the imperial desk lightly with his palm and laughed: "I'm lucky, someone gave me a pillow when I wanted to sleep."
Liu Mu's king Xuan Ce and others also smiled when they heard this, but they obviously misunderstood Zhao Xin's meaning. They thought that Zhao Xin wanted to use Nan Luoying to ask Nan Cang for borrowing troops.
They all nodded and said, "If we can persuade General Nan to help, it would be a good idea."
However, he was a little hesitant, thinking that Nan Cang might not be able to help him so easily.
But they didn't know that Zhao Xin had no intention of troubling Nan Cang at all.
Zhao Xin chuckled and didn't explain much.
He waved his hand and said to the palace servants outside the door: "Announce!"
The palace servants outside the gate received the order and immediately sang loudly: "Your Majesty has ordered that Nan Luoying come to the audience~!"
…
Nan Luoying didn't really want to come to the emperor, but there was nothing she could do...
She wanted to lead the troops, but she begged and pleaded with General Nan for a long time, calling him "Grandpa" until her mouth was sore, pounding his legs, rubbing his shoulders...
Unfortunately, the old fox accepted all the benefits, but fell asleep when it came to leading the troops.
Then, with a sleepy look on his face, he asked, "My dear granddaughter, what did you say just now? Oh, I'm so old, my ears are not working well at all."
But Nan Luoying was so angry that she went to find her father Nan Wu Ju, but the answer she got was just a glare and a frown. He even called a group of old maids to watch her and force her to learn some housework.
As for her uncle Nan Wuyou, he usually loved her, but when she mentioned this, he was immediately possessed by Nan Wuju.
I'm so angry!
Nan Luoying kicked the step angrily, and then thought of what Zhao Xin said before leaving Tianxiaju.
As for why I thought of Zhao Xin when kicking the stairs... I don't know.
Anyway, Miss Nan's mind moved, "The little emperor may seem useless, but he is still the emperor after all. General Nan should at least give him some face.
Didn't he say he would support me? Then let him issue an imperial decree to General Nan, ordering him to appoint me as a vanguard general."
Thinking of this, he suddenly became happy. While the maids were not paying attention, he jumped out from the second floor and fled from the Taiwei Mansion amid the screams of a group of old maids, leaving behind a chaos.
I arrived at the palace and asked someone to pass the message, but there was no movement for a long time.
It was not until Nan Luoying was about to rush in that she heard bursts of chanting coming from inside:
"His Majesty has decreed that Xuannan Luoying come to the audience~!"
Nan Luoying raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the voice, then gritted her teeth and cursed softly, "A bunch of damn eunuchs are so slow."
After saying this, he walked in hurriedly without waiting for the eunuch to lead the way.
The eunuchs and guards' mouths twitched when they heard her words. Before they could react, they were shocked to see this young lady actually rushing in by herself.
He quickly chased after her and shouted, "Miss Nan, this is the Imperial Palace, Miss Nan, please don't lose your manners!"
Nan Luoying was stunned when she heard this, and then she remembered that she was no longer as young as she was before.
When I was little, I could run around freely in the palace. But now... maybe I can't do that anymore.
Then he glared at the eunuch and snorted coldly, "Hmph, why don't you lead the way quickly?"
The eunuch had been on duty in the palace for many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone so arrogant coming to the palace.
Even if General Nan and Prime Minister Cui come, at least give them some face.
However, he also knew that he couldn't afford to offend this young lady, so he thought to himself, "Fine, fine, fine, you're awesome, so why shouldn't I be timid?"
He quickly apologized with a smile, "Yes, yes, Miss Nan, please!"
After saying that, he bent down and led the way in front of the side.
Seeing him like this, Nan Luoying couldn't help but frown slightly.
To be honest, she didn't feel sorry for the eunuch, or that the ruler Zhao Xin oppressed the lower class people.
As a daughter of aristocratic family in this era, she had no sympathy for slaves and the like, nor could she have any sympathy.
She just didn't like the rules of the palace, which made her feel depressed.
It's no different from the Taiwei Mansion, even more boring.
In comparison, the military camp is indeed better. Although the military camp has rules, these rules will not make her feel uncomfortable.
"If I marry into the palace in the future, I will be bored to death. It turns out that I can't marry the little emperor. Although he didn't seem that annoying before, but..."
Nan Luoying frowned and thought about all sorts of things. Under the guidance of the eunuch, she finally arrived at Xingqing Palace.
Nan Luoying was about to go inside, but luckily the eunuch was experienced this time and stopped her early. He then turned around and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Miss Nan is here."
"Please come in."
Zhao Xin's voice came from inside.
"beep."
Nan Luoying pouted and exhaled, making a soft "toutu" sound.
These trivial rules really annoyed her.
Although there are many rules in the Taiwei Mansion, given her status in the Mansion and the favor of Nan Cang and the Nan family, she can ignore those rules to a certain extent.
Although when you are unlucky, you may be punished by doing female labor, memorizing books, etc.
