Chapter 41 Killing Chickens and Monkeys

"Transfer?"

Dugu Cheng listened to Li Shimin's words, and was immediately taken aback: "You have only been in office for one day, and you have to transfer these more than 20 people out of the palace, what is the reason for this?"

It is necessary to know that these guards, since they can enter the palace on duty, it shows that their foundation in the capital is very good.

The forbidden army in the eastern capital is selected from the good family, and the so-called "good family" refers to those who are not in the seven branches of the army (according to law) or the children of non-doctors, witches, merchants, and hundreds of workers, in addition to their families, at least more than 100 acres of fertile land.

Another example is Fan Shixing, whose mother Dou is a member of the Fufeng Dou family.

To get these people out of the palace clearly, Dugu Cheng can't do it, but once there is any chaos because of this, he can't afford to be guilty. It is necessary to know that he is now, and he is only temporarily acting on behalf of Zuo Bei Shenlang to deal with the affairs of the palace.

"But these more than 20 people are sick together, won't Lord Naosai feel frightened?"

Li Shimin frowned, a little worried: "If these people bring their illness to the palace, how can this be good?"

Dugu Cheng was speechless for a while, didn't he know that these people took leave together, so that Li Shimin would look good? But then he fell into contemplation, no matter what this guy's real plan was, but this excuse was very good, almost impeccable. It will be difficult for anyone to accuse him in this matter.

To prevent the outbreak of epidemics in the palace, what is wrong with him Dugucheng?

And Li Shimin's father is already a young eunuch in the palace, a young lieutenant of the guard, with this age, it is very possible to enter the three provinces in the future, or go out of the town.

After only thinking about it for a while, Dugu Chengwei bowed his head: "Then it's up to you,"

Since Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, has won the trust of His Majesty. Then the young man in front of him will have a great future in the future. It's just a mere 20 or so Praetorian Guards, so what's the point of selling favors?

When the eldest grandson Wuji accompanied Li Shimin and came out of Dugu Cheng's side, his face was incredible: "I didn't expect that there would be such a way?"

At this time, he really had a feeling of looking up to the person in front of him.

"It's just some unseemly means, eldest brother, you are a lenient gentleman, and a gentleman can bully him, but I didn't expect it to be normal. ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Actually, this time, I also relied on some of my own family strength. ”

If Dugu Cheng hadn't had the intention of marrying his father Li Yuan, even if he came up with a high-sounding reason today, he wouldn't be so happy.

"Besides, doesn't Brother Wuji think that I went too far this time?

"What kind of excesses is this? Transferred out of the palace, they are still forbidden troops. With their actions, even if they are dismissed, it is a matter of course!"

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't think so, first of all, these guards were not doing it right.

The Zuo Bei Mansion did not lack their money and food, and these people were still not satisfied with the rich salaries in the palace, and many of them were absent from work all day. He couldn't get used to it anyway, and if it weren't for the fact that he was really helpless, he wouldn't have held back.

As for Li Shimin's statement that he borrowed the family power of Tang Guofu, he also has different opinions. Ask Shangguan to transfer the person who complained of illness, he can actually do it, but it just takes a little more effort, and the reason why he didn't do it is really unexpected.

He is usually conceited and wise, but in front of Li Shimin, he has lost some self-confidence.

"I thought the same thing, but I still felt uneasy, and I hope I didn't do anything wrong this time. ”

Li Shimin sighed, although he had a way to deal with these guards, it was the first time he had done such a thing. This is different from the battle on the battlefield, face to face gong and drum to drum, but he does not have the slightest psychological burden.

However, as the eldest grandson Wuji said, even if these people are transferred, they are still members of the forbidden army. It's just that the salary is not so rich, and it may not be as idle as in the palace.

And if he didn't want his subordinates to be some indiscriminate and lazy people, he would have to do something more excessive.

When the two of them returned to Chongwen Pavilion with the transfer order issued by Dugu Cheng, those left guard scholars couldn't help but change their faces. Everyone looked at Li Shimin's eyes, and there was no longer the slightest banter, only fear and jealousy.

The team leader named Zhang Buzhou also changed his face. When he faced Li Shimin again, his face was full of smiles: "My lord's move is really happy." These miscellaneous pieces have always been uncontrolled, and they are usually used to being wild, and they have all reached the point of lawlessness. This time, he dared to call himself sick and threaten his boss, which is simply unbeknownst to the sky. Your Excellency should be ruthless and rectify!"

It's just that this one then changed his voice again: "But my lord, in my opinion, this time your lord will be a little deterred, let them know that the rules are good, there is really no need to do too much, this is not good for your own lord." You need to know that among these people, there are quite a few who have heels, such as Wang Jiayuan, who led the former team, and it is said that he was born in the Jingzhao Wang family——"

Chongwen Pavilion left guard, a total of three teams in the front, middle and back, each team of more than 60 people. And this Wang Jiayuan is the team leader of the previous team, and he is also one of the more than 20 people who died this time.

However, before Zhang Buzhou's words fell, he was forcibly interrupted by Li Shimin: "I have made up my mind about this matter, you don't need to say more!"

Although he was a little hesitant in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, when facing Zhang Buzhou, he was cold and hard-hearted: "Please also ask Team Zhang to take the lead, and by the way, help me convey a word to the people below." As long as I, Li Shimin, still wait for Zuo Weiyu for a day, I will not allow my subordinates to disobey military discipline and be careless and presumptuous. If they want to keep their livelihood outside the palace, they will find a way to transfer the left guard within ten days, and the official can't control it, so naturally they have nothing to do. Including you Zhang Buzhou, it's the same. ”

Zhang Buzhou's face suddenly turned white, and he was speechless. He was outside the palace and also ran a small business. Today, I also heard from acquaintances that this Yu Hou was born in the Tang State Mansion and was the sister-in-law of the new Wei Wei Shaoqing, so he didn't seem to be easy to provoke, so he rushed back to the palace.

Originally, after he saw Li Shimin, he was contemptuous. Thinking that this Yu Hou was just a 14-year-old boy who didn't understand the world, and didn't let himself and others fool him? Where could he have thought that this guy would be so ruthless and ruthless?

At this time, Li Shimin looked at a sturdy young man in the crowd again: "Ding Huo Wang is out of the ranks!"

This person was at the back of the crowd, and he was slightly stunned when he heard the words, but he still stood up, his face quite worried. Li Shimin fired more than 20 people at one time, which frightened many people, including him.

Li Shimin was expressionless: "Ding Huohuo is vacant, and you will replace him temporarily." ”

When Wang Guang heard this, he couldn't believe it at first. But then his face showed a look of ecstasy, and he immediately bowed in the direction of Li Shimin: "Thank you Yu Hou for your promotion! ”

"Get up! You have always been diligent, and this military position is what you deserve. ”

Li Shimin flicked his sleeves slightly, and then looked at everyone again: "This time, I Chongwen Pavilion left guard, there are two captains, three fire chiefs, and one team is vacant. Lord Naosai has responded to this official statement, and these positions will be promoted by the diligent and capable people selected from within my left guard. ”

When he said the words 'diligent and capable', he deliberately accentuated his tone. And when Li Shimin's sentence fell, there was an uproar in the crowd, and everyone's faces were slightly expectant.

Zhang Buzhou's body shook slightly, and then a wry smile appeared on his face, knowing that he couldn't persuade Li Shimin to change his mind.

After the thunderous punishment, he changed hands and gave kindness to his subordinates, and used his military position to win people's hearts.

He was still thinking about whether to use more drastic means to force Li Shimin to give in, but at this time, he had put away this idea.

By the time Li Shimin's words spread within Zuowei, these 180 people would definitely not be able to work together. Many people in the left guard do have a good livelihood outside the palace, but there are many people who are still motivated.

This one really didn't make a move, and as soon as he made a move, he firmly pinched this left guard in his hand.

Li Shimin's next, still as yesterday, first inspected the weapons and armor, as well as a fireproof thing, and then took people to inspect the entire Chongwen Pavilion left courtyard of the pavilion.

This day was still safe, but the people under his command cheered up one after another. They all knew that the person in front of them was not easy to mess with, so they didn't dare to show laxity in front of Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin had dealt with all the affairs, he began to read the books on runes and the Five Elements Doctrine in the Chongwen Pavilion again. Occasionally, when he looked out of the window, he could see that Wang Guang was energetically leading a few people around the courtyard.

And Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw it in his eyes. The reason why he chose Wang Guang this time was naturally not for no reason, this was the recommendation of the eldest grandson Wuji.

This person is not only one of the few people in the left guard, a person who has never been absent from work, and his key strength and talent are also very good, he is only nineteen years old, he is already a senior sergeant, and he has almost touched the edge of the lieutenant level, although he cannot be compared with the children of their family, but in the cold family, he is already very good.

In addition, this Wang Guang also has a few friends in the left guard, so he will not be untenable after serving as the fire chief. The point is that people are also a little smart, not stupid,

For example, today, he assigned Wang Guang the task of inspecting the buildings. And this person understood his meaning very well and did his duty.

This time, although he transferred more than 20 people from the left guard in one fell swoop. Although this move can shock people's hearts, the left guard may not be willing to tie his hands and be at his mercy.

As the eldest grandson Wuji said, there are still many ways for these people to make trouble for him. It must be like the loss of one or two pieces of ink armor, or deliberately making noise and disturbing the nobles in the nearby palace, etc., are all common means.

Now that Wang Guang is watching for him, he can rest assured. Otherwise, you can only keep an eye on yourself.

This is the advantage of having friends to be colleagues together, so that he can master the roots of the left guard so quickly.
