Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 18: Handover of the Imperial Guards, Senior Brother Uesugi Tora!

Eunuch Chang shook his head: "Your Majesty! I don't know what will happen in the future! But I feel that His Highness, in addition to being the Crown Prince of Zhennan, is also the Princess's consort! And he is the Princess's childhood sweetheart!"

The Emperor of Qi glanced at Eunuch Chang and said, "It's hard for you to make your words so clear for the first time!"

Eunuch Chang said: "His Royal Highness is indeed a man of great talent. If he were here, Great Qi would surely prosper!"

Emperor Qi waved his hand: "Forget it! You can leave first!"

Eunuch Chang bowed and saluted.

Then exit the pavilion.

The Emperor of Qi put his hands behind his back.

His eyes flickered: "I hope I am not raising a tiger to cause trouble!"

God knows how conflicted the Emperor of Qi is right now. If he keeps Yang Xiu, he's afraid that he'll end up raising a tiger to harm him, but if he kills him, he feels a little reluctant.

Therefore, he could only continue to move forward according to his original idea.

On the other side, Yang Xiu found Uesugi Tora who was patrolling at the palace gate.

Seeing Yang Xiu Shangshanhu's rough face, a smile appeared.

"You kid! Why are you here just now?!"

Yang Xiu bowed politely: "Senior Brother!"

That’s right, Uesugi Tora is Yang Xiu’s senior brother.

As for how to put it, Uesugi Tora had two benefactors in his life.

One is his godfather Sean.

The other one is Yang Hu.

That is Yang Xiu's father, Prince Zhennan.

When Uesugi Tora first joined the army, he followed Yang Hu.

Yang Hu and Sean taught Shangshan Hu how to march and fight.

Uesugi Tora also became Yang Tora's disciple.

Therefore, Yang Xiu had to call Shan Hu his senior brother.

Shangshan Hu walked up quickly and patted Yang Xiu on the shoulder: "Good boy, you are getting stronger again!"

Yang Xiu bared his teeth and said, "Brother, could you please be gentler? You're slapping me with your palm like a palm leaf fan! Who can handle it?"

Shang Shanhu laughed, "You are still pretending to be me! Your achievements outside the palace have spread. You fought against the shadow of the Supervisory Council alone! At the age of four, you can fight against the ninth rank! In Shangjing now, you are the most popular person!"

Yang Xiu raised the corner of his mouth: "Not bad, Senior Brother, you can use idioms! It seems that you have been reading a lot recently!"

Uesugi Tora was about to hit him: "How dare you tease me, kid! It was my master who said I was a reckless man, and my only brain was used in marching and fighting! The court was so treacherous, so I should read more books! Otherwise, I will be used as a gun in the future! I don't know what's the use of it, and if there is any conspiracy, I will break it with one shot!"

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes and thought about the fate of Uesugi Tora in the original novel.

He said, "You should listen to your father! Brother, you really don't have a good brain!"

Although Shen Zhong is now on his side, Yang Xiu will not give Shen Zhong the opportunity to plot against Shan Hu.

But Shen Zhong is not the only powerful official in the court.

Take for example the current Prime Minister of Northern Qi, Du Hang.

That's an old bitch.

The most important thing is that the old guy has always been at odds with his family.

Come to think of it, since ancient times, there has never been a civil official who fought against a military general. Uesugi Tora waved his hand: "That's enough! You kid, you still want to teach me a lesson, but you! Hand over to me quickly, I'm going to the battlefield after that!"

Yang Xiu frowned: "Go straight to the battlefield? The war has already started?"

Shangshanhu looked a little solemn: "Well! In Nanqing, the border troops have been mobilized in large numbers. Now there are nearly one million border troops stockpiled at the border! In a month at most, the war will definitely break out! We in Daqi have also begun to mobilize food and grass to the border! This battle is of great importance!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "A battle of a million frontier troops! A formal war! It's different from a small fight! But, isn't one month a bit too hasty?"

Shang Shanhu said: "Master and his men have already made preparations for the war. One month is enough! If nothing unexpected happens, Master and his wife will leave Shangjing soon!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Okay! Then let's do the handover quickly! This war is of great importance. Your Majesty is personally leading the expedition, so I believe the situation in Nanqing will be similar!"

Shangshan Hu smiled and said, "You are so smart, according to the intelligence we have obtained, Emperor Qing has already left Kyoto, accompanied by Chen Pingping and his Black Cavalry, as well as Emperor Qing's Red Armor Army! They have all rushed to the front line!"

Yang Xiu was also a little stunned after hearing this.

Is this Emperor Qing moving so quickly?

If that's the case, the Emperor of Qi will have to mobilize his army and set out in three to five days at most!

The Northern Qi Dynasty is about to open a new chapter, the chapter belonging to Zhan Doudou and Yang Xiu.

It’s a good idea when you think about it.

Although he was his adoptive father and father-in-law, Yang Xiu felt that the dead Emperor Qi was the most cost-effective.

Otherwise, I have to be on guard against him every day.

It's very tiring.

Uesugi Tora took Yang Xiu and walked towards the imperial guards' camp.

On the way, Shangshanhu said: "Now the total number of imperial guards is 50,000. However, if a war breaks out, more than 70% of them will be taken away by your majesty! After all, this war is of great significance! So by then, the number of people in your hands may be less than 10,000! You may be a little tired, after all, such a small number of people want to guard this huge palace! And arrange inspections and rotations! It's not a small project!"

Yang Xiu asked in confusion: "Shouldn't the deputy generals be responsible for these things? Senior brother, you are a great general, are you arranging all these things yourself?"

Uesugi Tora was silent.

He has always liked to do things personally when leading his troops.

To put it simply, he may think that others are unreliable?

Over time, it has become a habit.

Uesugi Tora coughed dryly: "Although the deputy general can help you! But there are some things you have to know yourself!"

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes.

It seems like there is something wrong. Who else except Uesugi Tora would do such a thing personally?

To put it bluntly, the fact that Yang Xiu was able to become the commander of the imperial guards was simply because the Emperor of Qi was testing him.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to entrust a four-year-old who, although he has rare martial arts and literary talents, has no experience, to be entrusted with such an important responsibility as guarding the imperial city?
If Yang Xiu guessed correctly, among those deputy generals, there was someone designated by the Emperor of Qi to be truly responsible for guarding the imperial city!

As for myself, a name, a plan, a conspiracy.

You can say anything!
Therefore, Yang Xiu didn't care much about what Uesugi Tora told him.

It was only after Emperor Qi died that he became the main player.

The handover of the Imperial Guards was much simpler than Uesugi Tora had expected.

Anyway, he was saying that Yang Xiu was just four words: ah, yes, yes, yes.

Uesugi Tora could no longer bear it: "Boy! Pay attention! From now on, the guarding of the imperial city will be handed over to you! If something goes wrong, not to mention His Majesty, even those troublemakers in the imperial court will be able to annoy you!"

Yang Xiu said, "Brother, you don't really think that His Majesty is really going to hand over the guarding of such a large imperial city to me, right?"
