It may be that the 3,000 yuan sent by Li Shimin has had an effect, or it may be that it shows the importance of his relatives. In short, when Li Shimin went to Chongwen Pavilion to take office, Dugu Cheng not only accompanied him personally, but also taught him earnestly as an elder all the way, and explained the specific situation of Chongwen Pavilion.

But after Li Shimin heard this, he was taken aback: "I haven't seen anyone for thirty or fifty days?, isn't that person afraid of accidents?"

He was talking about his predecessor, that is, the Chongwen Pavilion Zuo Yuhou who was in charge of managing the East Side of Chongwen Pavilion.

I have to say here that the duties assigned by Dugu to Li Shimin are indeed very idle. Every day, he only needs to lead a team of guards to be responsible for the daily inspection of the east side of the Chongwen Pavilion, as well as fire prevention and theft prevention.

But according to Dugu Cheng, his predecessor, that is, the Chongwen Pavilion Zuo Yuhou, often came to the palace every one or two months to have a look, even if the daily points were completely handed over to his subordinates.

"What can happen? The safety of this Chongwen Pavilion is mainly the responsibility of the embroidered guards in the palace. The people of our reserve house are just fighting, and no matter how much they toss, nothing big will happen. ”

Dugu Cheng laughed: "Your predecessor, the performance appraisal is excellent, this time coincides with His Majesty's Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, this official was promoted to the second level, transferred to the government army, and went to follow His Majesty's melee achievements." Maybe when this person comes back, he will be a five-rank general. So don't look at the desertion of this Chongwen Pavilion Zuo Yuhou, in fact, it is quite sought-after, and it is the best choice for our noble sons and daughters. ”

"I see!"

Li Shimin bowed slightly, he understood what this meant, for those who were born in poor families, those positions in the palace that were easy to make achievements and came into contact with the nobles in the palace were what they flocked to.

But characters like him and Dugu Cheng are themselves members of the nobles, and they are not short of resources. Therefore, it seems that Chongwen Pavilion Zuo Yuhou is not prone to problems, and a relatively idle job is the best choice.

As long as they mix up their qualifications and have merit, they will have their own high-ranking officials waiting for them.

- As for the so-called 'nobles' in the palace, they are not actually in their eyes.

"So after you take office, be careful, try not to provoke those embroidered guards, and never set foot in the backyard. For example, if you can get along with the people who embroider the clothes and guards, and have them to help take care of it, you can rest easy at home after that. ”

Then Dugu Cheng talked about Li Shimin's subordinates again, but at this time he frowned slightly: "In the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion, there is a thorn in the head, named Fan Shixing, who is quite brave. But if you ignore him, that guy won't come and provoke you. As for the rest, if you don't want to care, just let it go. These guards, who have been in the palace for many years, know the rules and will not make too much trouble. ”

After Li Shimin heard this, he was a little unimpressed. He could have learned from his predecessor, come to the palace every thirty or fifty days, and wait until a year or two later, he could be promoted and raised.

However, what he is most unaccustomed to in his life is the corpse vegetarian meal and the floating of people. I thought that since I had taken over this job, I should fulfill my duties and be loyal.

In fact, Li Shimin is quite looking forward to it, although he is familiar with the art of war and knows military strategy, it is the first time that he can officially lead the troops. These guards, unlike those at home, don't have the slightest fear of him.

And just as Li Xuanba said, no matter how reluctant he is, he will still embark on the road of joining the army in the future.

Starting from this Chongwen Pavilion left guard is a good starting point.

Soon he was accompanied by Dugu Cheng and met with his subordinates. But there are only about 30 people on duty today, sparsely la, with untidy clothes and armor, and they don't look like them.

Li Shimin didn't care about this scene, according to the roster, his subordinates had a total of 220 people, divided into 18 fires, 6 troops and 3 teams, and he, the right reserve of the mansion and the left of the Chongwen Pavilion, was actually slightly stronger than a brigade commander in an army.

And these two hundred and twenty people will be divided into three classes. Take turns guarding the guards. At this time, more than 30 people could stick to their posts, which was already very surprising to him.

He very much recognized what Uncle Liutang said yesterday, killing without teaching is called abuse, not abstaining from being violent, and slowing down orders to lead to thieves.

The meaning of this sentence is that killing without education is called torture, demanding success without warning is called violence, and slacking off at first and suddenly reaching out within a time limit is called a thief.

These guards followed his predecessors and were used to being casual. Now that he Li Shimin has just taken office, he wants to act vigorously and resolutely, so that these people can be as conscientious and dedicated to their duties as he is, which is impossible.

Even if he wants to purge and punish, it will be after all his subordinates understand his Li Shimin's rules.

However, it is still necessary for the new official to take office with three fires. If the majesty does not stand, how can it deter the subordinates?

Especially at his current age, when he has not yet reached the crown, he looks hairless on his mouth, which is inevitably despised. If he still laughs and mingles with these subordinates at this time, most of them will be despised by these soldiers who have accumulated over the years, thinking that he is young and can be bullied. Only by coming up with a fierce and strong style can they put away their contempt.

Therefore, Li Shimin's face was blue throughout the whole process, and his face was as calm as water. After Dugu Cheng left, he was even more furious and reprimanded the more than 30 people. By the way, he also ordered these people to inform their colleagues that they must gather tomorrow, otherwise they will be severely punished.

After this attack, the expressions of these guards were really much more serious, and the gaze that looked at him was also a little more awe-inspiring.

Li Shimin's face was still as pale as ice, and he knew that his current self was a donkey in the eyes of these people.

In the past, there were no donkeys, and those who did good deeds were carried by boat. Until then, there is no use, put it under the mountain. When the tiger sees it, the behemoth also thinks it is a god, and it is peeped in the forest. A little closer, ashamed, don't know.

On another day, when the donkey roared, the tiger was terrified, and he fled far away, thinking that he would devour himself, and he was very afraid. However, those who look at it back and forth, feel that there is no special ability, and they learn its voice, and they come close to the front and back, and finally dare not fight. A little closer, Yi Yi, swinging and rushing. The donkey is angry, and the hooves are overwhelmed. The tiger was happy, and Ji Zhi said: "Skill stop this ear!" Because of the jumping, cut off its throat, and exhaust its flesh, but go.

Li Shimin had heard this story and knew that the reason why these people were still a little jealous and awe-inspiring was not only because of his reprimand just now, but also because he didn't know his roots.

And once his temperament is cleared by these people, he feels that there is nothing to be afraid of. These guys will let out an exclamation of 'skill stops'. though they will not cut his throat and eat his flesh. But he will also revert to his old ways, and regard him, a superior, as nothing.

If it is a team leader who is a little older and has military achievements, it is easy to subdue these people. But in front of these subordinates, he can't leak any flaws.

After that, it was the inspection of the equipment and honor guard, which were piled up in the weapons side. Li Shimin led a group of people to check one by one according to the records in the books. This aspect is not bad, what he was most worried about before was that the situation of his subordinates stealing and selling armor did not happen. It's just that all kinds of weapons are piled up indiscriminately, a little messy, just tidy up.

Then he inspected his own territory, and Li Shimin walked through the entire east courtyard of Chongwen Pavilion. It was found that there were tanks of water everywhere and they were full of water. As for those pine oil candles and so on, they are also very well kept.

- In a place like the library, the most important thing is fire prevention, there are too many flammable things here, and usually only a little spark can cause a fire.

And then there is the moisture-proof, but this matter has nothing to do with them, the repair and maintenance of books, the people of Taichang Temple are responsible.

So Li Shimin turned around and found that his move was completely redundant. The team of janissaries under his command is indeed in a state of having nothing to do.

However, during his rounds, he met an acquaintance.

"Big Brother Eldest Sun?"

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, who was dressed in the same outfit as him, and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Eldest grandson, you actually also serve here?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was also surprised, and then walked over with a smile: "Xi is preparing for the right body, and Chongwen Pavilion is waiting for the right." ”

In other words, one of the two of them is the east courtyard that takes care of Chongwen Pavilion, and the other is the west courtyard that takes care of Chongwen Pavilion.

"I really didn't expect such a coincidence in the world. ”

Li Shimin shook his head, with an incredulous expression: "I didn't expect to get together with the eldest grandson again so soon, and I became a comrade,"

The eldest grandson Wuji also sighed: "I didn't expect it, I only heard that Zuo Wei came to a new Yu before, but I didn't expect it to be Pilu Sha you." By the way, you don't need to see outside, you can usually call me Wuji. ”

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, he knew the eldest grandson Wuji's table word auxiliary, and the customs handed down from ancient times, the mutual call between scholars and doctors is respect.

The so-called epigraphy refers to a name other than the original name that indicates virtue or the meaning of the original name. Generally, after the crown, another alias related to the meaning of the original name is taken and called the character to express its virtue. When people call each other respectfully, they must call them the word of virtue, and it is a kind of humiliation for people who are not familiar with them to call their own names.

The eldest grandson Wuji asked him to directly address him by his real name, which is a sign of closeness.

However, Li Shimin didn't care much about this matter, and only smiled loudly at this time: "It's really good to be able to be neighbors with Brother Wuji this time." Now that I'm a new official, I have a lot of things to ask,"

He had noticed just now that the right guard of Chongwen Pavilion under the control of Eldest Sun Wuji was far more orderly than the left guard under his command.

"Ask me?"

Eldest Sun Wuji smiled bitterly: "With the duties of Chongwen Pavilion, I really have nothing to teach you." As you can see, this place is very idle, and it is a good place to relax. The only thing to note is—"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw a sturdy man in the distance, walking towards this side with a menacing momentum.
