Princess Gaoyang raised her eyebrows: "That's why Brother Qingque came to deliver the New Year's gift in person today. It's because someone slandered you that your husband will do evil things to you, so he wanted to treat you with sincerity and bribed him in advance so that your husband would not do it."
Are you embarrassed to take action?"
Li Tai was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "That's not true. Even if Erlang doesn't do it, someone else will definitely do it. In this case, it's better for Erlang to do it. At least he can do it if he cares about family and friendship.
Could you please give me some?"
He finally understood that with his current identity and status, anyone who coveted the throne would use him to make an issue, either support him to fight for the throne, or assassinate him to frame the emperor. In short, he is
A target set up by all parties.
There is no way to avoid it.
The target is erected there, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds, both overt and covert, will naturally poke upwards, making it impossible to guard against it.
Then you can only let the most trusted ones come and poke a few times, which will play the role of "alerting the grass in the grass", making the matter bigger, others will be afraid, and no one will come to poke...
Fang Jun chuckled: "I don't know what your highness is talking about."
Li Tai took a long breath and whispered: "Be careful and don't make the lie come true."
Princess Gao Yang looked at this and that. She was confused and didn't know what was going on. She made up her mind to ask Wu Meiniang later and let her analyze what the two people were up to...
*****
Outside Xuanwu Gate, the military camp.
It snowed heavily all night, and the soldiers began to clear the snow in the middle of the night. The snow was still falling heavily until dawn, but the entire military camp and the school grounds were swept clean, and even the roads connected to the official roads were clean and tidy.
Helan Chushi rode his horse and arrived outside the military camp. He heard a burst of uniform shouts from all the people in the camp. It was obvious that the soldiers were training on the school field. It was snowing all over the sky, but they could still train non-stop. It was enough to show that Fang Jun was able to manage the army.
rigorous.
Although Gao Kan, Cheng Wuting, Sun Renshi and others are currently in charge of this military camp, everyone knows that whether this army is Youtun Guard or Jinwu Guard, it will only obey orders from one person - Fang Jun.
The soul of this army.
This made Helan Chushi very envious. A man cannot be without power for a day. Who wouldn't want to control such an invincible army?
I feel envious and jealous.
It's a pity that my brother-in-law Hou Junji rebelled and died, so we couldn't give him too much protection. Otherwise, why would he take Wu Shunniang's route and come to Fang Jun's tent to make a living?
Riding his horse to the gate of the military camp, he dismounted, took out the transfer document from the Ministry of War, handed it to the guard who came forward with both hands, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, Helan Chushi, has been ordered to come and report. This is the transfer document, please."
Enter and report."
As he said that, he handed out a bunch of copper coins without leaving any trace under his hand...
The guard took the document, but knocked off the hand that handed out the copper coins, and warned: "It is best not to do this under the commander's account, otherwise if discovered, he will be severely punished."
After reading the document, he coldly said "wait", ignored Helan Chushi's embarrassed expression, turned around and entered the military camp.
Helan Chushi touched his nose and cursed secretly in his heart.
This kind of custom of handing money to soldiers in order to get things done as quickly as possible is common in many armies, but Fang Jun strictly prohibits it. Among all the generals in the army, are you the only one who is noble?
After a moment, the guard turned around and shouted: "Go to the central army immediately, General Gao is waiting for you."
"Thank you."
Helan Chushi led the horse into the military camp and headed for the Chinese army. He tied the horse in the stable outside the Chinese army tent, simply tidied up his clothes, came outside the door, and said to the standing guard: "Helan Chushi, I have been ordered to come here."
The guards came in and announced, and came out a moment later: "General Gao, please come in!"
Helan Chushi took a deep breath and stepped into the central military tent.
He can be considered an old soldier. He has been in the army for more than ten years, but now he is a little nervous due to the serious and harsh atmosphere in the military camp. He is afraid that he will make mistakes in his words and deeds and be punished by Gao Kan... Fang Er will not do it.
Isn't it such an immoral thing to put oneself under the tent and prepare for death?
The light in the account was somewhat dim, and there were several iron basins placed in the corners, with charcoal fires burning in the basins for warmth. Gao Kan, wearing a helmet and armor, was sitting behind a desk with a large stack of war reports and military affairs scattered around the desk, and he was immersed in writing.
Helan Chushi quickly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and performed military salute: "General Helan Chushi, please see General Gao."
No response was heard.
Kneeling on the ground for a while, Helan Chushi felt terrified but did not dare to move.
Rumors have spread from the Ministry of War that Gao Kan is about to step down from his post as General Youweiwei and will be stationed in Jinling to control the south of the Yangtze River and properly guard one side. This is Fang Jun's absolute confidant.
He has made many military exploits and risen to prominence over the years. Even if he has followed Fang Jun's path, how can he dare to be disrespectful to Gao Kan?
Just when his back was sore and his legs were so weak that he could hardly hold on, he heard Gao Kan say in a deep voice behind the book: "Do you think that if you have found the way to become a commander, you can do whatever you want in the army?"
"The general will not dare!"
"I hope you don't dare, otherwise even if you offend the commander-in-chief, I will teach you the severity of the art of war."
"The general is sincere and willing to die for the commander-in-chief!"
Silence again.
Helan Chushi had sweat on his forehead and felt uneasy, wondering if he had offended Gao Kan before?
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given myself such a prestige...
After a long while, Gao Kan said: "Get up."
"Here."
Helan Chushi's waist and legs were so weak that he carefully stood up from the ground to avoid making excessive movements that would cause him to become unstable and Gao Kan would find a wrong spot and hit him with a few military sticks.
Gao Kan looked sharply and asked, "Have you ever joined the army before?"
Helan Chushi hesitated for a moment and did not dare to hide it: "I once served in the right guard and reached the rank of general."
"A subordinate of Hou Junji?"
"……yes."
"There is no need to worry. The case of Hou Junji's rebellion has been concluded. Those who rebelled will be severely punished. Since you are not implicated, it shows that you have not followed his rebellion. Our military has never talked about your origin and will not discriminate against you because of this.
."
When Gao Kan said these words, Helan Chushi was almost moved to tears.
As Hou Junji's son-in-law, he secretly informed His Majesty Li Er when Hou Junji was plotting rebellion. However, His Majesty Li Er felt that although he was loyal to the emperor, he was unjust to his commander-in-chief and father-in-law.
He was a villain, so after the Hou Junji was destroyed, he did not reward him based on his merits.
Although outsiders did not know that he had stabbed Hou Junji in the back, as Hou Junji's son-in-law and subordinate, he was bound to be involved in the rebellion. It was just that His Majesty Li Er was magnanimous and did not implicate him, so he let him go, but no one
Dare to use it.
Otherwise, with the connections of the Helan family, why would they ask Wu Shunniang to follow Fang Jun's path?
At this moment, I saw that although Gao Kan was strict, he did not discriminate because of his past, and I immediately felt grateful...
Gao Kan waved his hand, and Helan Chushi said some words of gratitude, saying: "Although I am not discriminating against you, after all, you have not held a military position for many years. The preparations for the establishment of the Jinwu Guard are now at a critical juncture, and I would not dare to send you out of favor.
Place important positions in order to avoid delaying the military aircraft. In this way, the logistics department still lacks a warehouse to join the army and be responsible for purchasing the grain, oil, rice, flour, clothing and cloth consumed by the army. I wonder if I can give in?"
Helan Chushi was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you for your support, general. I will work diligently and fulfill my duties in the end!"
In the army, logistics has always been the fattest job, and purchasing grain, oil, rice, flour, and clothing and fabrics is the fattest job. Each of the sixteen guards has tens of thousands of people, and the daily consumption is an astronomical figure.
, and if such a huge purchase falls into the hands, it only takes one palm to grasp it, and that is a mountain of gold and a sea of money...
It seems that the rumors about the affair between that bitch Wu Shunniang and Fang Jun are definitely not groundless. Otherwise, why would Fang Jun let Gao Kan arrange such a lucrative job for him?
No wonder I flirted with him several times, Wu Shunniang didn’t understand the color of that bitch, so she got into Fang Jun’s bed...
Gao Kan had a cold face and warned: "Cangcao joins the army and handles countless amounts of money every day. It is most likely to make mistakes. Although you are the person arranged by the commander, if you violate military discipline, you will still have no mercy.
, and may even be dealt with severely and severely punished without mercy, do you know?"
"Don't worry, general, I will definitely live up to the commander-in-chief's trust!"
With so much money and silk being handled, I would only withdraw a small amount, so it would be difficult to be discovered, right?
Besides, as long as it doesn't go too far, even if he is discovered, Fang Jun will let him go for Wu Shunniang's sake...
Gao Kan nodded: "That's all I've said so that I can do what I want. Come on!"
"General! What are your orders?"
"This person is Helan Chushi. He has been appointed to join the army in Cangcao. You can take him to his post."
"Here! General Helan, please come with me."
Helan Chushi saluted Gao Kan again, got up, and went to his post with the captain.
After he left, Cheng Wuting and Cen Changqian walked out of the inner room and sat on the side of the desk together and poured themselves a glass of water. The former asked curiously: "The commander-in-chief has always looked down on the Helan family, why did he arrange such an important position for Helan Chushi?"
? Not everyone is qualified to join the army in Cangcao. With so much money and silk passed through every day, it is hard not to take advantage of it."
Cen Changqian poured a cup of tea for Gao Kan. Gao Kan took it and took a sip. He said disapprovingly: "If he can control his own hands and feet, then he will serve in the army honestly. If he dares to be corrupt, he has his own military law, so why bother?"
Are you worried about the handsome man’s face?”
Fang Jun was rigorous in running the army, and Gao Kan was even more meticulous. Anyone in the army who violated military discipline would lose face.
After saying this, he said to Cen Changqian: "Please Cen Changshi keep an eye on this Helan Chushi. If he dares to embezzle a penny from his ink, he will be punished by military law."
Cen Changqian was slightly startled and said with a smile: "You don't intend to let Helan Chushi live?"
The Left and Right Jinwu Guards were reorganized from the Left and Right Tun Guards, and the Left Tun Guards suffered heavy losses and there were very few left. The Right Tun Guards are the foundation of the Left and Right Jinwu Guards. Since Fang Jun took charge of the Right Tun Guards, although they have been rigorous in military management and training
It's hard work, but the logistics supply is extremely sufficient, and various open source methods ensure a continuous source of money for the military.
The reorganization of the left and right Jinwu guards was an important step for Fang Jun to further control the defense of Chang'an. Naturally, he would not be stingy with money. All expenses were ensured to be sufficient and the best, so the money spent on phone calls was like running water every day.
With such a huge amount of money and hundreds of materials that need to be purchased, the accounts are inevitably confusing. Even if you are not greedy for a penny, it is difficult to make the accounts clear and accurate when you are really serious.
What's more, with such a huge amount of money in front of his eyes, how could Helan Chushi not be greedy or greedy?
Cen Changqian had also heard that Fang Jun was best at "fishing and enforcing the law" when he served as Jing Zhaoyin. Now he puts the cat in the fish pile, clearly intending to trick this Helan Chushi...
