The Tiance Army had been at the head of the 16 Guardians of the Tang Empire since Zhenguan.
Furthermore, their ranks far surpassed the other guards.
Although there were only 1,600 of them, they were all elites among elites who had been honed in the flames of war. This Heaven's Policy Army had followed Li Shimin to the east, west, south, and north. They had made great contributions and saved Li Shimin from danger many times.
This army would not show weakness even if they were to face an army of 100,000. They would even defeat the other party in a single battle.
In terms of strength, even the elite Thousand Bull Guards of the Imperial Palace were no match for him.
They were the last barrier of the Great Tang, the personal guards of the Emperor Li Shimin.
Among them, the general of the Heavenly Policy Manor was the Tang Emperor, Li Shimin.
Ever since it was established, this mysterious army had only listened to Li Shiming's orders.
It could be said that joining the Heavenly Policy Army was something that many princes and nobles dreamed of. The Heaven's Policy Army had the best treatment, the fastest promotion, and the Emperor's trust.
However…it was extremely difficult to join the Heavenly Policy Army.
Because if you wanted to join the Heavenly Policy Army, not only did you have to gain the trust of the Emperor, but you also had to gain the Emperor's recognition of your strength.
The Heaven's Policy Army was the last line of defense for the Great Tang. The Emperor would never allow an incompetent person to enter the Heaven's Policy Army, because that would be irresponsible for the safety of the Imperial Family.
Therefore, most of the children of the princes and nobles were from the Thousand Ox Guard after they grew up, not the Heavenly Policy Army.
Of course, if a disciple made a contribution, he could also be awarded an official position in the Heavenly Policy Army, but it was usually a false position. Just like Li Yi at the beginning, he was given the position of the Heaven's Strategy's Benevolent and Brave Lieutenant.
But now, Li Yi had not achieved anything. He had only written a good essay and a good hand of calligraphy, and he had already joined the Heavenly Policy Army. What was even scarier was that he had even joined the high-ranking army, the Lieutenant General.
This was also the reason why the officials of the imperial court opposed it. Even Li Jing had joined the opposition camp at that time.
Unfortunately, Li Shiming was very stubborn this time and insisted on his own opinion. In the end, he still gave the appointment.
Yesterday, after Li Yi received his appointment, he went to the Heavenly Policy Office to register his official status. After getting his body measured, he went to the Bureau of Military Personnel and the Bureau of Official Personnel to prepare a case.
Within a day, the rumor that he had joined the Heaven's Policy Army spread to all the mansions in Chang 'an.
There were people who were envious, there were people who were resentful, there were people who were happy…
In short, no matter what, they could not stop Li Yi from entering the Heavenly Policy Manor.
This morning, the Heavenly Policy Manor had sent someone to deliver the silver armor, official seal, and other items.
Li Yi finally left the mansion with the four Heaven's Polarity Soldiers accompanying him.
Before he left, the Great Tang's God of War, Li Jing, walked out in an unusual manner. He looked meaningfully at the four evasive soldiers of the Heavenly Strategy Army, then patted his son's shoulder and said solemnly,""It's good to do so. If you can't stay any longer, come back. It's the same even if you go to the Thousand Ox Guard.”
Li Yi did not think too much about it. He waved his hand at his father, who had a grave expression, and Wu Meiniang, who was reluctant to part with him."I'm not going to the execution ground, so there's no need to be so serious. If I come back too late, you don't have to wait for me for dinner.”
With that, he turned around and left.
The four Tiance soldiers hurriedly followed, but at this moment, their eyes lit up as the Great Tang War God appeared before them. With a cold face, he said,""Tell Duke Xu Mao that I, Li Jing, will visit him in the future.”
The four Heavenly Strategy soldiers hurriedly bowed and replied,""Yes."
How could they withstand the pressure of the Great Tang War God?
Although Li Jing wasn't the Great General of the Heavenly Policy Manor, he was loved and respected by the Heavenly Policy soldiers, just like the Great General Xu Maogong.
Because Li Jing was the only one who had defeated the Heaven's Policy Army.
This was also the reason why Li Shi Min did not allow Li Jing to participate in the commands of the Great Tournament of the Sixteen Guards every year.
This was because Li Jing was simply a monstrous existence. His reputation as the Great Tang War God was not for show.
If this old man was in command, even the weakest guard of the 16 Guards would be able to get into the top few.
Thus, every year, this old fellow would be excluded from the competition.
Outside Duke Wei's Mansion, the elite warhorses of the Heavenly Policy Army, which were specially equipped, were waiting anxiously for their new master.
This warhorse was black and shiny from head to toe. It was tall and had strong limbs. One could tell at a glance that it was a rare and excellent warhorse. At the same time, from its restless eyes and its hooves that were constantly scratching the ground, it could be seen that this was an unruly warhorse.
The four Heaven's Polarity soldiers behind Li Yi smiled, revealing an inexplicable meaning.
When he saw the warhorse, Li Yi finally understood why his deadbeat father had said those words.
The soldiers of the Heaven's Policy Army were all elites who had been through the trials of blood and fire. Which one of them was not arrogant and rebellious? The only thing that could conquer them was not their noble background, but their strength.
All along, the Heavenly Policy Army was known for being "xenophobic" among the 16 guards.
However, if your strength is recognized by them, then…they will definitely treat you as a comrade in life and death.
If he couldn't pass the test, he would have to go back to where he came from.
This was the Heavenly Policy Army.
Taming the fierce horse seemed to be the first test the Heaven's Policy Army had given Li Yi.
