Cheng Yaojin's words reminded Chen Jingke of a saying, poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unscrupulous people. There are also various unscrupulous operations reported on the Internet in previous lives.
Many of them are done by people at the bottom who should be honest and honest, such as falling down and being unable to help them.
For example, an old lady puts strawberries on the road, and all the cars passing by have to buy a basket before they can leave. It's useless even if the PLC comes over, they just go to the ground and you can do whatever you want.
Chen Jingke himself has encountered disgusting things. He was driving to the countryside and was stopped by someone asking for a cigarette. He didn’t ask for more than one, and he didn’t care whether he was good or bad. If he gave you, he would let you pass. If he didn’t, he would stand in front of the car.
Not moving.
When the PLC came to the police and asked about it, they found out that even one cigarette was not enough to meet the punishment standard. They criticized him and let him go after a few words of criticism.
However, all this back and forth wastes is your own time, at least half a day is gone.
There are countless similar examples.
This does not mean that people at the top must have good qualities, while people at the bottom have poor qualities. The same water supports all kinds of people, and every group has people with poor qualities and people with high qualities.
The worse the quality of people in the upper class is, the greater the harm will be. If ordinary people are of low quality, they will usually cheat you. If the quality of the people in the upper class is low, they will kill you.
The children of Yuan Cong's imperial army are so arrogant and licentious that most people will ignore them when they pass by. You can't do anything to them.
However, Chen Jingke was different. He was personally appointed by Li Shimin and represented the emperor. The key is that he was also the quasi-consort of Princess Jinyang, the direct princess.
When the members of the Yuancong Forbidden Army met him, they not only showed no embarrassment but also treated him as one of their own.
On the contrary, it is a group of sergeants with bad backgrounds. They have no sense of honor and only care about surviving and getting promoted and making a fortune.
An official parachuted in from above. If it suits them, it's fine. If it doesn't, he'll inevitably cause trouble.
Use military law to deal with it? Whatever, they can bend and stretch. If you don't want to mess with them, just pretend to be a grandson and call them grandpa.
However, you must be careful, don't be deceived by them at the critical moment. There is no doubt that they really dare to do this.
There are quite a few officers who have been tricked to death by their subordinates.
After understanding this, Chen Jingke was also very fortunate that he came to Cheng Yaojin for advice.
If he had really followed his original idea and focused all his attention on the Yuancong Forbidden Army and let down his guard against sergeants with bad backgrounds, he would probably suffer a big loss.
Speaking of which, I still have to thank Sun Simiao and Wu Shu.
When he came out of the palace that day, he first told Sun Simiao about the matter. Sun Simiao asked him to ask Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong for help.
These three were some of the most famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, and their status in the military was very high. It would be no problem for them to help a mere Baiqisi.
Then Sun Simiao asked him to go find Wu Shu and see what she said.
Chen Jingke understood that he wanted to investigate Wu Shu, so he ran over and told her the matter.
Wu Shu was naturally very happy. How could he not be happy when a man from his family was valued by the emperor? Secondly, Chen Jingke took the initiative to discuss things with her and asked for her opinion. This was a sign of respect for her.
Then she gave him a similar idea, but she was more specific and asked Cheng Yaojin.
Chen Jingke was very surprised and asked: "Why not Duke Yi and Duke Wu?"
Wu Shu explained: "The county magistrate is not as good as the current governor. Although Yi Guogong still has huge influence, it is not so convenient for him to do things now that he has retired."
"Wu Guogong has a reckless temperament. Apart from a few people such as Yi Guogong and Su Guogong, he has almost no friends, and the use of his presence is not obvious."
"The Duke of Su is a treacherous and cunning man, and he can speak well in all the civil and military affairs of the dynasty. And now he is serving as the general of the left army and the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army."
"No one in the imperial army dares not to listen to what he says. Just say hello and no one in the army will dare to embarrass you, so it's best to go to him for help."
Chen Jingke said with admiration: "So that's it. Sister Wu is really smart. She deserves to be my good wife."
"Smooth talk, asking for a beating." Wu Shu stretched out his hand and patted him gently, but he was very happy in his heart, and said: "Stop making trouble, let's get down to business."
Chen Jingke quickly sat down and said, "Sister, please give me some advice."
Wu Shu glanced at him and said, "You also want to go to Duke Yi and Duke Wu, but you have to wait until you come out of Duke Su's mansion."
With her reminder, Chen Jingke quickly figured out the secret. I was not surprised that there were so many people attending the ceremony, so I went to show that I respect the elders of the three families equally and did not favor one over the other.
After saying hello, Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong would also help keep an eye on the situation so that if something went wrong, they could help to find out.
If you don't even say hello beforehand, will they help you or not if something goes wrong?
To put it bluntly, the reason for visiting Cheng Yaojin is to seek help, while the reason for visiting Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong is to be polite.
Both Sun Simiao and Chen Jingke were very satisfied with Wu Shu's performance.
Especially Chen Jingke was even more embarrassed. He was an experienced driver before time travel, but compared to the worldly world, he was not as good as the fourteen-year-old Wu Shu.
Then I have deep admiration for my master, he is really very accurate in judging people.
After talking about business with Cheng Yaojin, Chen Jingke did not leave directly, but shamelessly said another thing:
"You old man has many people, can you give me three or five?"
Cheng Yaojin paused and said, "You really dare to ask, do you dare to ask for what I gave you?"
Chen Jingke said: "Hey, what are you afraid of asking for? Can you let an assassin in? You know, if there are not a few reliable generals in the army to help, many things will be very inconvenient."
"And what I need is someone who can read and write. I can only ask you, Uncle Qin, and Duke Wu for it."
Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said: "Okay, don't think about these messy things. It's not that I'm stingy and won't give it to you, but if I give it to you with the front foot, the saint with the back foot can beat me half to death."
"You should go to the empress about this matter. Although Princess Jinyang has not left the palace to build a palace, she should have guards according to the rules."
"Ask the empress to allocate some sergeants to you to take with you, and the quota will be counted as the guards of the princess's palace. This is a fat job, and there will be many old soldiers competing for it. You can get whatever you want."
Chen Jingke's eyes lit up and he said, "Can it still be like this? Well, I will go into the palace to find the empress later."
After chatting with Cheng Yaojin for a while, Chen Jingke stood up and left.
Then he visited Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong as planned, and their opinions were surprisingly consistent with Cheng Yaojin's.
There is no need to worry about Yuancong's children from the Forbidden Army. What you need to be careful about is not to capsize in the gutter of bad boys.
But in terms of specific coping methods, you can see the difference in personality between the two.
Qin Qiong believes that these bad boys are not inherently bad people, but also have a loyal side. Let Chen Jingke have more contact with them. If he can convince them, everything will be easier to handle.
Yu Chigong's methods were more straightforward. Anyone who was obedient would be given priority, and those who were disobedient would be trampled to death.
Chen Jingke agreed in person and said he would try it, but in fact he already had his own plan in mind.
After leaving the two houses, seeing the weather, we had already gone to the palace.
Don't take advantage of your little daughter-in-law.
