Arriving outside the gate of Youjinwu Guard Camp again, Zhang Liang saw dozens of generals lined up neatly on both sides of the gate to greet him. Zhang Liang felt sour in his heart and had mixed feelings.
In order to serve as the Youjinwu Guard in an honest and fair manner and to re-establish his majesty, he sacrificed the little remaining love between him and Li Ji. It may be worth it at the moment, but in the long run, he may not regret it.
But the matter has come to this, if he cannot fulfill his duties as the Youjinwu Guard and then control the Youjinwu Guard, his career will come to an end. For a person with a strong desire for power, this is tantamount to a disaster.
No matter how great the sacrifice is, we can still face the difficulties and move forward courageously.
As long as you can control Youjin Wuwei and have military power, mere love is nothing...
Bracing himself up, Zhang Liang entered the military camp surrounded by a group of generals, went straight to the Chinese army commander's tent, sat in the middle, and arranged the generals on the left and right.
Looking around, Zhang Liang felt quite sad. Back then, he had thousands of troops under his command. This feeling of being aloof and commanding a mountain was something he had not been able to enjoy for many years.
It's great... After gathering his mood, Zhang Liang's face was full of majesty. He glanced at Wang Xuance beside him and said in a deep voice: "From today on, the previous rules of having the whole army train at every turn have been cancelled. Every time we leave the camp for training, , there must be the commander’s command
, no one is allowed to do it without authorization, otherwise military law will be engaged! Do you understand?"
The generals and principals below looked at each other and responded in a sparse and haphazard voice: "Understood."
"Know."
"I will obey the Commander-in-Chief's orders."
"I just said that this training session for Lao Shizi is exhausting, so it's a good idea to cancel it!"
"Who says it's not the case? I'm as tired as a dog every day. How can I be an official? It's just suffering!"
"Don't talk nonsense, dogs are not as tired as us."
…
The handsome tent was full of chatter and noisy, just like a vegetable market, with no discipline at all.
Zhang Liang had a dark face, patted the desk beside him, and yelled: "Shut up, everyone! How can you behave like a noisy shrew?"
Everyone fell silent and the handsome tent became quiet.
Wang Xuance said: "I would like to report to the commander-in-chief that there is an important matter that requires the commander-in-chief to decide."
Zhang Liang looked sideways: "What's the matter?" Wang Xuance took out a document, stepped forward and handed it to Zhang Liang with both hands, and said respectfully: "Helan Chushi, the captain who was previously responsible for the logistics supply of the entire army, committed corruption and dereliction of duty. After the incident, he was ordered to be suspended and a detailed investigation was conducted. Now he is being investigated
The investigation results have been completed. His crime of corruption and dereliction of duty is unquestionable, and both witnesses and material evidence are available. Please let the commander-in-chief decide how to deal with it."
Zhang Liang took the document and felt it was a bit hot. He naturally knew who Helan Chushi was, the son-in-law of the traitor Hou Junji, and the husband's brother-in-law of Wu Shunniang, the concubine of Fang Jun and Wu Meiniang's sister. Wu Shunniang had lost her husband and had no clear relationship with Fang Jun. I don't know, the Helan family was once a member of the Guanlong clan.
One of the backbone of the Communist Party of China, although he is now in decline and his glory is not as glorious as before, his identity cannot be erased.
It is good to have a well-connected family, so Zhang Liang came to find out what happened.
Linghu Xiumu was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Why did Lord Yun Guo mention this matter?"
Zhang Liang did not hide anything, and pushed Wang Xuance to him. He told him the story of Helan Chushi's case, and revealed his current predicament with a sigh on his face... Linghu Xiumu muttered: "I'm afraid this matter is not simple, Helan Chu."
Shi originally had to go through Fang Jun's network to be placed in the Youjin Wu Guard, but within a few days it was revealed that he was corrupt and derelict in his duties, and he was ordered to go home and wait.
During the review, many people said at the time that Fang Jun was indeed able to hold the sky with his hands. Even for committing such a major crime, he was not sent to jail to await trial but returned home to wait. Now it seems that there may not be other reasons for this."
Zhang Liang was stunned: "My dear brother, don't you think that the reason why Helan Chushi committed the major crime was framed by Fang Jun?"
It is no longer news, it has become a talk among the people of Chang'an. Helan Chushi must have been able to enter Youjinwu Guard because of Wu Shunniang's request.
In front of Fang Jun, why did Fang Jun design a trap to make Helan Chushi commit a major crime?
If you don't want to agree, you can refuse, why bother?
Linghu Xiumu said: "It's not necessarily a frame-up. If you don't do this kind of thing, who can frame it?"
Zhang Liang didn't think so. Even if it wasn't Fang Jun who set up the trap, it must have been Fang Jun who signaled Wang Xuance and others to capture Helan Chushi. Otherwise, how could Fang Jun's prestige not be able to protect a mere Helan Chushi?
Linghu Xiumu continued: "This matter is really difficult. Helan Chushi is concerned about Fang Jun on one side and Guanlongmen on the other. Dealing with or not dealing with it, or even handling it lightly or severely, may lead to backlash."
The Guanlong Clan is now severely weakened, and its influence in the court and the military is extremely weak. A disciple like Helan Chushi who can go through Fangjun's family can be said to have high hopes and is dealt with hastily. How can the Guanlong Clan endure it?
There are still many Guanlong disciples in the army. Although there is no one who can take action, they still have a lot of influence. Maybe they can't be Zhang Liang's help, but if Zhang Liang is disgusted, it is not difficult. But if not
What if Helan Chushi was actually captured by Fang Jun under the instruction of Fang Jun? He finally sacrificed his last bit of love and begged Li Ji to speak to him. He stood still in Youjinwu Guard and turned around to let Fang Jun go.
You guys, aren't you obviously going against Fang Jun?
If Fang Jun gets mad and orders people like Youjin Wuwei to cause trouble for him again, Li Ji will not speak for him anymore...
This is a big pit, a dilemma, a dilemma.
Zhang Liang said angrily: "Wang Xuance, this bitch, bullies people too much!"
It's too bad that a matter that could have been dealt with long ago has to be delayed until after he takes up his duties!
He already vaguely regretted relying on Liu Ji to obtain the post of General Youjinwuwei...

"Isn't it good to just be a minister of the Ministry of Justice? You are a high-ranking official with a good salary, and you have the power of life and death. You can show off your power and coerce others wherever you go. Why do you have to go back to the army to wade in troubled waters? This man is not very smart."
After dinner, Fang Jun took a walk in the garden to eat. Wang Xuance came to visit. The two sat in the pavilion drinking tea together. Wang Xuance couldn't help but complain. Fang Jun smiled and shook his head: "Of course his brain is not very good, otherwise he How could his qualifications have reached what he is today? However, it was not his initiative to leave the Ministry of Justice. In fact, the Ministry of Justice was in too deep a position and required too much professional knowledge. How could he, a ruffian with a military background, play the role successfully? More What's more, although the Criminal Department is nominally one of the "Three Law Divisions", it is the last one. With Zhang Liang's arrogant heart, how can he be willing to be a vassal? Seeking to go to the army
It is understandable that the Ministry of Justice in the Sui and Tang dynasties had a limited scope of authority. Except for interrogation and prison sentences, it was only able to execute executions on civilians and officials below the seventh rank. However, it generally did not have the power to punish. It basically belongs to Dali Temple, but for middle and high schools
Officials at the provincial level are also basically under the supervision of the "menxia province" among the three provinces.
It is not a good job to have two powerful government agencies suppressing you above your head, and because of your weak professional knowledge, you have to be careful not to be "backstabbed" by the subordinates of your own government office.
How can it compare to being able to call the wind and rain in the army and cover the sky with one hand?
Wang Xuance nodded: "That's true."
Immediately he burst into laughter: "I will hand over Helan Chushi's case to Zhang Liang and let him handle it. I must be having a headache right now."
Fang Jun smiled.
Li Ji did have to give him face and ensure that Zhang Liang could fulfill his duties smoothly. However, whether Zhang Liang would have smooth sailing in the army and whether his generals would obey orders was beyond Li Ji's control.
As for Zhang Liang's desire to firmly hold the position of general, and then exclude dissidents bit by bit and control the entire army, that is a blind idea. The left and right Jinwu Guards are in his pocket, how can he allow others to get involved?
