Coming out of the Taiji Palace, when returning to the house, the people in the courtyard went in and out, or sprinkled and swept, or moved the furniture to use the things, and when they saw Li Cao coming over, they all put down the work in their hands, and respectfully called the head of the house. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but he also sighed for it, the new Son of Heaven ascended the throne, if you sweep away the old weather, eclectic appointment of talents, pacify the chaos may not be unsuccessful, although the Anshi traitors occupy three out of ten Tang Dynasty, the people's hearts are still on the side of the court. I'm afraid that everything is floating on the surface, and the actual situation has not changed from the old days, then it is empty joy.

In this state of excitement and worry, Li Cao was highly excited and unable to sleep all night. At dawn, he fell asleep, only to be woken up by a sharp knock at the door.

Li Cao was shocked, straightened up from the couch, and immediately sweated profusely.

"The head of the family, the head of the family, the Shenwu Army sent an official document, please go to the army to perform his duties in the morning in the morning!"

Hearing that it was the servant who was talking, Li Cao let out a long sigh of relief. The precariousness of his previous life on the run had left him in a state of extreme insecurity day and night, and he was extremely nervous at the slightest disturbance.

"Got it!"

After agreeing, Li Cao was already sleepy and left the bed to dress. At the same time, he sighed in his heart, the efficiency of the appointment and dismissal of the Shenwu Army is so fast, he only made up his mind last night, and he has already issued an official document early this morning, if it is not for the special affairs explained by Qin Jin, it is really admirable and convincing.

It must be known that the ordinary transfer of functions in the imperial court will take ten days and a half months, to say the least, and if you don't take some ways, it will not be strange that it will drag on for half a year and a few months.

The breakfast in the house is very simple, a bowl of rice porridge, a piece of cold bun, and a plate of pickles.

Li Cao has never been picky about food, and simpler is more in line with his temper.

He took a sip of porridge, and when he saw that the servant standing beside him seemed to be a young man, he put down the bowl and asked:

"How many servants are there in the house? Have you all eaten? Have you eaten enough every day?"

The young servant hurriedly replied:

"Jingzhao Mansion selected nine people to come over to serve the head of the house, the people in the house are no better than your old people, they all have two meals a day, and they are all full, except for no porridge, it is also cold buns and pickles!"

Although this servant was not very old, he was not timid at all when he spoke, and he answered Li Cao's question clearly in a few words.

Receiving this answer, Li Cao was quite surprised, and picked up the bowl again and drank the remaining porridge inside.

"Where does the food come from?"

Li Cao's question seems trivial, but in fact, he is understanding the basic situation of Chang'an City, and he can roughly understand the situation in his heart.

"The head of the family has just returned to Chang'an, I am afraid that the situation in the city is not clear, since the new son of heaven ascended the throne, the edict ordered the whole city to implement wartime control, all food and other goods centralized management, integrated distribution. Therefore, the salaries received by the people in the house are distributed by the Jingzhao Mansion, including the degree of food and clothing! Only in this way, although they do not have to worry about food and clothing, they are also coarse tea and light rice, and the head of the family may be able to get used to it in a few days......

As the young servant spoke, his eyes swept to Li Cao's half-unmoved cold bun. Obviously, he was referring to the fact that he was not used to eating this kind of cold bun that was difficult to swallow.

Li Cao immediately understood the meaning of the young servant's words, and immediately smiled awkwardly, then reached out and grabbed the cold bun and sent it to his mouth.

Walking on Chang'an Avenue on horseback, the imaginary street was full of displaced people, and the miserable situation did not appear. On the contrary, people walking on the streets come and go, and each seems to be busy with things. If it weren't clear that there were 200,000 siege troops outside Chang'an City, it would really give people the illusion that a war had never happened.

However, despite the calm in the market, Li Cao can clearly feel the obvious difference from the past. It took him a while before he suddenly realized that the streets that were still bustling and busy should be less bustling than before. Despite the people, all he felt was depression and loneliness.

Suddenly there was a crash ahead, followed by screams and arguments. Li Cao rode forward, and arrived at the place of the conflict in a few moments. It turned out that two carriages couldn't avoid it and crashed into one place. The more the two parties argued, the more excited they became, and they turned from abusive to action. And the onlookers also gathered more and more, and there were many discussions.

At this moment of siege, people's hearts are unstable after all, and even a small conflict can turn into immeasurable chaos. Li Cao just wanted to step forward to persuade him, but suddenly heard the sound of gongs, and a team of officials rushed to quickly take the two parties away from the scene, and at the same time transferred the damaged carriage to the side of the road, so as to clear the road and evacuate the crowd of onlookers.

In an instant, the crowd dispersed, and the streets returned to calm, as if it had not been for the wrecked carriages parked by the roadside, as if there had never been an argument here.

And this was absolutely impossible in Chang'an City at the beginning, once this kind of dispute arose on the street, even if the official of Jingzhao Mansion arrived in time, he did not dare to deal with it, and he must first ask the background and report to the boss. In a place like Chang'an, where princes are everywhere, they are often reported to Jing Zhaoyin at all levels, and even Jing Zhaoyin may be helpless. In the end, it can only be played by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is invited to decide.

At that time, the five gates of the Yang family crisscrossed Chang'an, fighting with the princess of Guangning, and was whipped and fell from the horse by the evil slave of the Yang family, and the aggrieved princess could only complain to the Son of Heaven in the end.

The Son of Heaven does not distinguish between public and private, and connives, which extends to the public security in Beijing, it is that the laws and regulations are not passed, and the evil consequences brought about by the laws and regulations are that everything varies from person to person, and in the end, in addition to the loss of people's hearts, it also makes the government decrees ineffective and inefficient.

Now that the officials of Jingzhao Mansion do not care about the indiscriminate situation, they are now taking away the people who gathered to make trouble, and then restore law and order, and the efficiency is fast enough to see that the new emperor has made a difference.

Li Cao glanced at the two carriages on the side of the road again, which were obviously not owned by ordinary people.

Soon, Li Cao arrived at the military camp in the north of the city, where it is said that Qin and Jin worked on weekdays, and this was also his first official contact with the thunderous Shenwu Army. He was very curious about what Qin Jin had done to make a hastily formed Shenwu army an elite division that could compete with the Anshi rebels.

After entering the gate, there were already people waiting inside, and after Li Cao handed over the name card with him, he was led to the depths of the barracks. Soon, he met Qin Jin in a seemingly ordinary house.

At this time, Qin Jin was lying on the desk, reviewing the official documents, since he was responsible for the full responsibility of the Chang'an city defense and the rebels, he was so busy that he almost didn't even have time to sleep, and he couldn't hold on to it before he lay down on the military couch on the side, and two hours later he got up again to dispose of the mountain of official documents.

This is also the reason why Qin Jin is in a hurry to find talents.

In Qin Jin's opinion, Li Cao was the most suitable person to assist him in handling official business. It is obviously not normal for a manager to let all his experience be involved in this kind of specific matter.

Li Cao looked at it privately, this room was only a dozen steps square from front to back, left and right, and the furniture and utensils placed were also rough and simple, and seeing that Qin Jin was concentrating, he stood on the spot and couldn't bear to disturb. It wasn't until half an hour had passed, and when Qin Jin looked up, he found that there was a person standing in the room at some point, and after fixing his eyes on Li Cao, he couldn't help but say happily:

"When did Brother Li come?"

Li Cao bowed and said:

"I just arrived, and I saw that the doctor was concentrating on official business, and I couldn't bear to disturb it!"

Qin Jin laughed when he heard this:

"Don't talk about disturbing, let Brother Li come to share official duties for Qin. ”

Li Caoqi said:

"Could it be that the doctor has been dealing with these official documents all day long? Then, if the Anshi rebels attack the city, who should plan the strategy?"

Qin Jin motioned for Li Cao to sit down, and said:

"Brother Li may not know much about the operation of the Shenwu Army, first have a battle plan, and then resolutely implement it, Qin can only boost morale if he goes, if he interferes, it will be a mess!"

This is the first time Li Cao has heard of this method of governing the army and leading the army, and there is not a single example of this method of achieving elite soldiers by letting go of it in the military books he has come into contact with.

Qin Jin briefly explained to Li Cao the operation of the Shenwu Army, but although he understood it, he couldn't figure out the key to it.

"With the situation in Chang'an, it is not a problem to stick to it for a year, but now it is difficult to appease people's hearts. ”

With a sigh, Qin Jin said slowly:

"Don't look at everything in the city that seems to be in order, but everywhere is like a tight bowstring, I don't know if it will break at that moment......"

Seeing Qin Jin's worried appearance, Li Cao's mind also pulled back from the operation method of the Shenwu Army.

"As you can see, the doctor will not only stick to one way, I don't know what else to do?"

Qin Jin glanced at Li Cao meaningfully, and said with a smile:

"Brother Li's question can be regarded as asking the key point, Chang'an is just a bait!"

Li Cao gasped and exclaimed:

"Bait?"

He had expected that Qin Jin would definitely have a strange plan before this, but he never imagined that he would use a trick to lure the enemy to deal with the Anshi rebels, and the bait was the Son of Heaven and himself!

I was just about to inquire carefully, but I suddenly heard a soldier outside shouting a report:

"Report! The rebels are attacking the city!"

Qin Jin got up from his seat, helped him put on the iron armor left and right, and at the same time said to Li Cao in a seemingly relaxed tone:

"Today's show is here, why don't Brother Li go to the city with Qin to watch the battle?"

Li Cao subconsciously asked rhetorically:

"Didn't the doctor say that he would not interfere in the military plan?"

Qin Jin laughed and only answered him with four words.

"Boost morale!"
