Chapter 4587 Loyal to China
Cen Changqian said with a smile: "Now the rice, flour, grain, oil, cloth and leather purchased for logistics all have to go through his hands. Several shops that we have cooperated with for a long time in the past have canceled their cooperation because they could not withstand his blackmail, and have been replaced by several shops that he has secretly contacted. Among them, those who are greedy for ink Naturally, he has a lot of money and silk. He even exploits those who go to the army to get night fragrance, which makes many cooperative merchants complain. They can check him at any time with the command of the commander. .”
Fang Jun was surprised: "It's only been a few days? This guy is quite capable!"
Intuitively, it seems easy to be greedy. Of course, it is not difficult to be greedy and take possession of small things. As long as you are brave and have a dark heart, it is enough. However, it is definitely not easy to be greedy and greedy. Not everyone can do it. Got.
Even with the great god Fang Jun "covering" him, no one dared to provoke him, but in a short period of time, he was able to capture the Jinwu Guard's logistics department and not let go of all aspects. "Mao", Fang Jun was amazed by Helan Chushi's ability to be greedy for ink.
He shook his head with a smile and said casually: "Then we will find a reason to get rid of him in the next two days, confiscate all Tan Mo, and take the opportunity to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, and shock those guys with unclean hands and feet."
With a "giant corrupt man" like Helan Chushi in the army, who can see it? Seeing Helan Chushi being so greedy, it was impossible for others not to look at him with envy. And destroying Helan Chushi at this time is naturally the best deterrent - the Marshal's relatives must be strictly investigated. Can you guys have a tougher background than Helan Chushi?
It's time to clean up the military and promote cleanliness.
Cen Changqian immediately agreed: "Just teach me to handle this matter. It won't take much effort. After handling this matter, we will start compiling textbooks. I will definitely not delay the commander's important work."
After a pause, he asked for instructions: "Save him alive, or..."
Fang Jun thought for a while and said calmly: "Let him live. After all, we deliberately lured him into the trap. It would be unkind to chop off his head."
Whether he is kind or not is secondary. The main reason is that Helan Chushi followed the path of the Wu family sisters and entered the Jinwu Guard. If he lost his life because of this, he would inevitably be criticized and complained by the entire Helan family. As a man, he should let his Women avoid this dilemma.
With one life left, exiled to the army, and property confiscated, the Helan family will only spread their grievances on Helan Chushi...
Outside the door, Liu Rengui, the left minister of the Ministry of War, asked to see him.
"Let him in."
"Here."
Liu Rengui was brought in by his servants and saluted Fang Jun, and then Cen Changqian saluted Liu Rengui. The latter smiled and said: "Changqian is young and promising. When I see you, I suddenly feel a little old."
Cen Changqian smiled and said: "How dare you be praised by Minister Liu? You are in your prime and have made outstanding achievements in the navy. The younger generation is both admirable and envious. But I don't know when I will be able to sail across the oceans like you and make our country proud." Power.”
"Haha, I can really talk, I have a future."
After exchanging a few words and sitting down respectively, Fang Jun asked: "Is there something wrong?"
Liu Rengui hurriedly took out a copy of military information from his pocket and placed it on Fang Jun's desk. He whispered: "The news just came back. His Royal Highness the King of Wei was assassinated before arriving in Luoyang. He ran away all night and finally escaped from the pursuit. Fortunately, he was not alive. ”
Cen Changqian was shocked: "Who dares to be so arrogant?"
Liu Rengui shook his head and said: "The assassins are a cavalry of more than a hundred people. They come and go like the wind and are nowhere to be found."
Seeing that Fang Jun had taken the military information and checked it carefully, Cen Changqian couldn't help but said: "Since it is a cavalry of more than a hundred people, it must at least have a brigade of troops. There must be traces of an army of this size leaving the camp without permission, but The garrisons around Luoyang are being closely investigated, and even the troops in Chang'an City are also suspected. As long as they are investigated carefully, clues will be revealed. "
Liu Rengui took a sip of tea and said slowly: "In normal times, this kind of thing would not be difficult to find out, but it is different now."
He paused and looked at Cen Changqian: "Right now, the Jinwu Guards are being reorganized. The troops around Chang'an are being mobilized frequently. A cavalry of more than a hundred people left the camp without permission for three to five days. As long as someone deliberately conceals it, it really doesn't matter. Easy to find out.”
Cen Changqian was stunned for a moment and quickly shut her mouth.
As Liu Rengui said, if the investigation continues, not to mention whether the ownership of the cavalry can be found out in the end, the left and right Jinwu guards must be the biggest suspects.
The person responsible for the reorganization of Jinwu Guard was previously Fang Jun, but now it is Li Ji...
Regardless of whether these two people are involved in this matter or not, as long as these two people are involved, it will be a huge trouble.
Therefore, it cannot be checked.
Not only could Fang Jun not investigate, but even His Majesty could not and did not dare to investigate.
Besides, what would happen even if it was found out?
Wei Wangtai is not dead...
Cen Changqian looked at Liu Rengui and then at Fang Jun, and her biggest suspicion was Jin Wuwei.
But was it someone who took advantage of the frequent reorganization and mobilization of the Jinwu Guards to assign cavalry to assassinate Wei Wangtai, or was it simply Fang Jun who did it himself?
Can't guess, don't dare to guess...
At this time, Fang Jun happened to see the last line of the military information and looked up in shock: "The King of Wei...denies being assassinated?"
Liu Rengui nodded and said in a deep voice: "Luoyang officials did not dare to let King Wei enter the city at midnight, so they stayed outside the city for most of the night. Then King Wei denied being assassinated."
Fang Jun thought for a while and couldn't help laughing: "King Wei is really as powerful as the sea. He was chased and fled in panic, his life hanging by a thread, but in the end he was able to swallow the grievances of the world. In order not to be involved in the imperial power The struggle can be regarded as painstaking and amazing.”
I have to praise Li Tai for his quick wit. A huge storm had begun to brew, but Li Tai managed to escape just before it became the "eye of the storm" to avoid being swept into the violent wind and rain.
Even if everyone in the world knows that Li Tai was assassinated, as long as Li Tai doesn't admit it, what can others do to him?
Li Tai himself said that he was not assassinated. Who else would dare to investigate?
Whoever investigates is harboring evil intentions and having evil intentions.
Of course, this approach is smart, but it also requires swallowing this bad breath. His Highness, King Wei, must be extremely depressed.
Perhaps the wealth of hundreds of thousands of dollars can slightly relieve this suffocation, so that His Highness the King of Wei will not feel so uncomfortable...
Putting the general's feelings aside, Fang Jun said: "Ignore this matter. How is your situation at the Ministry of War?"
Liu Rengui finally entered the center as he wished and became the left minister of the Ministry of War, a properly powerful figure. However, the most tragic thing was Guo Fushan, the right minister of the Ministry of War. When Fang Jun was the left minister of the Ministry of War, Guo Fushan was the right minister, and Cui Dunli was the left minister of the Ministry of War. When he was the minister, Guo Fushan was still the right minister. Now Cui Dunli is qualified to be the minister of the Ministry of War. Logically, Guo Fushan should take advantage of the trend and become the left minister. But Liu Rengui suddenly appeared in the air, and Guo Fushan is still the right minister...
Time is destiny, don't force it.
Liu Rengui said with a smile: "It went very smoothly. Cui Shangshu took care of me a lot. The whole yamen was harmonious and friendly. I would also like to thank the commander for his support and cultivation."
The Ministry of War Yamen is Fang Jun’s private area. Anyone who doesn’t fit in with the community has been removed. The top and bottom are almost monolithic. Even though Liu Rengui came by air, no one in the entire Yamen caused trouble for him. The atmosphere was extremely friendly and the relationship was extremely harmonious. Since then, Since becoming an official, Liu Rengui has never been such a worry-free official.
Fang Jun nodded and warned: "The Ministry of War is a good springboard. Whether you continue to enter the military aircraft department and become one of the commanders of the imperial army, or you go out to become a frontier official in a major protective palace, you will have great brilliance." You don’t have enough qualifications and merits now, so don’t be too ambitious and just accumulate qualifications in the Ministry of War. As long as there is an opportunity, I will give my full support.”
Liu Rengui stood up, knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, saying gratefully: "Thank you so much for your training, Marshal, and I am willing to die for you!"
Fang Jun waved his hand and said with a smile: "What does it mean to die for me? I have no intention of being a powerful minister, let alone a warlord, and I don't need to win over people's hearts. The reason why I support you is because you have the ability to become the pillar of the empire. Remember, you I don’t need to be loyal to anyone, I just need to be loyal to the empire, this land, and the people of the world. If the day comes that I will be buried in horse leather, I just hope that I will die for my country.”
Liu Rengui: "I will obey the commander-in-chief's teachings!"
Cen Changqian on the side was in agitated mood. Is this the marshal's magnanimity?
He has no intention of being a powerful minister, let alone a warlord. He has a man in mind and has the world in mind. He is worthy of being an unparalleled national warrior.
Of course, he also keenly noticed Fang Jun's words, "You don't need to be loyal to anyone, you just need to be loyal to the empire, this land, and the people of the world." Does this mean that the commander-in-chief only has the country and the people in his mind?
So what's the status of the emperor in the heart of the commander-in-chief?
Do you only care about the country or this country, and don't care who sits on the throne?
It's a bit disrespectful...
But isn’t that what a man should be like?
Dynasties rise and fall, imperial powers change, and emperors change one after another. No matter how wise and powerful the emperors are, they are just a handful of loess in the end, but the Chinese state remains unchanged forever. The people on this land multiply and live endlessly for generations. Yanhuang Blood runs forever.
Does it matter who the emperor is?
Important, but not that important. There will always be an emperor sitting in that position and ruling the world.
What is important is that not a single inch of this land that our ancestors cultivated, fought for, and left behind can be lost. What is important is that the people on this land can live and work in peace and contentment, reproduce for generations, and pass on the Chinese blood forever.
For a moment, countless thoughts passed through Cen Changqian's mind, and an idea began to gradually emerge and take shape in a cloud of mist.
He does not want to be a loyal minister of a certain person, but wants to be a loyal minister of this beautiful country and hundreds of millions of people. He will protect this country forever with his flesh and blood and his meager strength, and protect all people of China.
In this way, the evaluation of one generation may not be so prominent, but in the history of China, it can shine through the ages and be praised forever. (End of chapter)
