Chapter 4542: Taking office a year ago

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 bribe him in advance to make your husband embarrassed. Start?”

Li Tai was a little embarrassed and said with an apologetic smile: "That's not true. Even if Erlang doesn't do it, someone else will do it. In this case, it's better for Erlang to do it. At least he cares about family and friendship, so he can do it. Would you like 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 enemy", making the matter bigger, and 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 doing...

*****

Outside Xuanwu Gate, there is a 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 school grounds were swept clean, and even the roads connected to the official roads were clean and tidy.

Helan Chushi arrived outside the military camp on horseback, and heard a series of uniform shouts from all the people in the camp. It was obvious that the soldiers were training in the school field. It was snowing all over the sky, but he was still able to train non-stop, which is enough to show the rigor of Fang Jun in running the army.

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?

Envy and jealousy in my heart.

It's a pity that my brother-in-law Hou Junji rebelled and died, so he couldn't be given too much protection. Otherwise, why would he want to take Wu Shunniang's route and come to Fang Jun's tent to make a living?

Riding his horse to the door of the military camp, he dismounted, took out the transfer document from the Ministry of War in his arms, 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." ”

As he said that, he handed out a bunch of copper coins without 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 paperwork, 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, briefly tidied up his clothes, came outside the door, and said to the standing guard: "My Lord, Helan Chushi, I have been ordered to come here."

The guards came in and announced, and after a moment they came out: "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 deal with it to death?

The light in the account was a little dim, and there were several iron basins placed in the corners. There were charcoal fires burning in the basins for warmth. Gao Kan, wearing a helmet and armor, was sitting behind a desk. A large pile of battle reports and military affairs were scattered on the desk, and he was immersed in writing.

Helan Chushi quickly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and performed a 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 Youtunwei and become General Youweiwei, stationed in Jinling and controlling Jiangnan, to properly guard one side. This was Fang Jun's absolute confidant. He had risen from a soldier to greatness in a few years with many military exploits. Even if he had followed Fang Jun's path, how could 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 behind the writing say in a deep voice: "Do you think that by being a general, the army can do whatever you want?"


"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!"

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 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 can be seen 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 he did not reward him based on his merits after he destroyed Hou Junji.

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. I would not dare to use you as a 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, general, for your support. 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, clothing and cloth is the fattest of the fat. 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. , even severe punishment and no credit, 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. 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 you can do what you want. Come here!"

"General! What are your orders?"

"This person is Helan Chushi, who has been appointed to join the army as 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, sat down at 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 passed around every day, it’s hard not to get involved in 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 that, he said to Cen Changqian: "Please Cen Changshi keep an eye on this Helan Chushi. If he dares to take 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 not many left. The Right Tun Guards were the basis of the Left and Right Jinwu Guards. Since Fang Jun took charge of Youtunwei, although the army has been rigorously run and trained hard, the logistics supply has been extremely sufficient, and various methods of open source have ensured continuous financial resources for the army.

The reorganization of the left and right Jinwu Guards is an important step for Fang Jun to further control the defense of Chang'an. Naturally, he will not be stingy with money. All expenses are ensured to be sufficient and the best, so the money for phone calls is 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, making it clear that he is trying to trick this Helan Chushi... (End of Chapter)
