At the door of Wei Bo's mansion, Tang Cheng stood quietly for a while, exhaled two long breaths, and then walked down the steps.

There is no doubt that Ge Fushun and Chen Xuanli's excessive proximity to the Xiangwang Mansion in the past ten days has obviously been noticed by Wei Rui, and it seems that Wei Rui has already informed Wei Bo of this matter before his arrival, if he deliberately avoided this in the report just now, even if he was lucky enough not to have a worse result, he would definitely lose Wei Bo's trust.

Wang Biao's secret contact with Zong Xiping can be revealed, but Ge and Chen have such an obvious abnormality but they haven't noticed it, can Er Wei believe such a statement?

Once you lose Wei Bo's trust, what is the point of doing so many things before?

"Engage in the secret work of a ball", Tang Cheng smacked fiercely in his muttering voice, he really regretted his impulsiveness that day, this thing is a double-edged sword, and now he has not hurt anyone before he has put himself in.

Previously, Tang Cheng was quite proud of himself for being calm and calm when he encountered an accident, and the people around him also praised him for his advantage, but at this time, I will review a series of performances after reading the record today, from the angry gaffe at the beginning to the weakness and nervousness later, although there was no danger to deal with, but Tang Cheng himself clearly knew that the level was really dangerous, and his performance today was really poor.

It's just that it has become a tiger riding trend now. It's impossible to think about it, it's still the same sentence, since you can't retreat, then grit your teeth and rush forward.

That night, when Yazheng Garden opened, Tang Cheng took Laifu to go. The stay was not long, and after watching Nanori's song and dance, I went back. And during this, he did not deliberately hide his meeting with Zhang Liang, everything was carried out normally in the half-open Accord door.

After the sixth day of the first month, and after the seventh day of the first month, the temple supervisors of the various ministries in the imperial city began to be normal directors, and it was a false head to say that they were normal directors. After arriving at the Ya on this day, everyone said hello to each other and said a few auspicious words. and chatting about what I saw and heard during the New Year's Festival will also beat the days over. The perennial love of people is like this year after year, and everyone is used to it, and there must be nothing serious to do on the eighth day of the first month. But since there is a habit. There are exceptions, and this year's exception was born in the Criminal Department.

The Criminal Department has four divisions. The most bullish is of course the main division of the criminal department, and the main division comes down. If you want to say that the oil and water are the largest, down to the local Daozhou, the most popular people are in charge of the various yamen money and grain revenue and expenditure audit power, and the local department is more than the department, not to mention the local reason, everyone understands. There is a vacancy in such a fat and oily place, and in the criminal department, it is really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, and I don't know how many principals are staring here with red eyes and blood.

For more than a month ago, the newcomers have not been selected, and many thoughtful principals have really dug out their families in the past few days of the New Year's Festival, running and breaking their legs to work, according to the inherent experience of the old criminal department, since this matter has not been concluded before the year, it will definitely not be concluded in a short period of time after that year.

This time their empiricist speculation was completely wrong, it was still the same sentence, there are exceptions if there is a habit, on the eighth day of the first day when the Criminal Department should not have anything to do, the candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who has been vacant for more than a month has been determined, and this person is still the most unfavored before, and Su Can, the chief who has not been able to go up half a step for seven or eight years.

After hearing the news, the people from the criminal department who were chatting and saying auspicious words were silent for a while, how could such a big matter be done on the eighth day of the first lunar month? How could it be Su Can? After a moment of collective silence, there was a rush of discussions, and the salted fish turned over and returned to the insight of a real son.

Just when the yamen of the Criminal Department was talking about Su Can taking over as a member of the Ministry of Justice, he was surprised and inexplicable. In the tent of the Yulin Left Guard Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, the generals and those who joined the army and those who joined the army were listening to Wei Bo's introduction to Tang Cheng.

Although the position of the memory is important, he is not even an official after all, but he is just a first-class official in the ninth class, who is not low-key in the previous new account, this new thief Tang Cheng is good, the first promotion of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army in the new year, the first thing the general did was to give him a briefing.

Looking at Tang Cheng's appearance as a weak scholar, and then looking at the appreciation of him in Wei Bo's eyes, whether it was the generals or the soldiers, he suddenly lost a good impression of this little white face, damn it, we can't afford to pee on Wei Bo, let alone the memory of your little official. /\

Reasoning says that everyone will be colleagues in the future, and there is the master will be so dedicated to the introduction, according to the rules of the industry after the introduction of others should always show affection to the newcomer, even if the heart looks down on this little white face, the face of the master will also have to be so, the so-called dog beating also depends on the owner, this is also human affection, and there is nothing to say.

It's a pity that in Tang Cheng's first appearance in the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, compared with Wei Bo's unconventional affection, the performance of the generals is really cold and embarrassing, except for a few people who deliberately lean towards Wei Bo, most of them Even when Tang Cheng took the initiative to smile and bow his hand to greet him one by one, these generals and the soldiers were still a little ignorant.

There was such a scene staged in front of him, not to mention Tang Cheng, he looked at Wei Bo as the bottom of a pot, and the green tendons on his forehead were violent, these people snubbed Tang Cheng, but they were really slapping him in the face of a great general!

Habitual, this is all for the habitual, gentle and gentle, until the end of the group of grandsons is stunned to kick their noses and faces to the point of lawlessness.

The behavior of this group of white-eyed wolves under the tent made Wei Bo feel that he had really completely lost face in front of Tang Cheng, but Rao is anger was burning in his heart, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it, Huairou, Huairou......

Tang Cheng, who had an extremely embarrassed expression on his face, saw that Wei Bo's face was getting darker and darker, and he almost didn't laugh in his heart, Qunqiu Batai would cooperate, come on, come on, snub a little more, no matter how bright my smile is, don't show half a good face, this is not enough, it is better not to even return the salute......

Finally, this meeting ended in an extremely uncomfortable situation for both parties. The beginning was not good, and the rest of the matter naturally did not get better, and the result was that the first promotion of the New Year of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army ended hastily quickly.

Wei Bo's face made any of his subordinates reluctant to stay and touch the mold, and even the soldiers who should be reported to be in charge of affairs according to the custom retreated to avoid the limelight for a while, and for a while, only Wei Bo and Tang Cheng were left in the huge handsome account.

Wei Bo's face darkened. Tang Cheng's face was full of embarrassment, and neither of them spoke.

After a long time. It was Wei Bo who opened his mouth first, "No defects, today's matter is that General Ben has taken improper measures and made you feel wronged." \

"The subordinate is a non-mainstream official, and it is nothing to suffer some embarrassment." Tang Cheng shook his head with a heavy face. "But after what just happened. The subordinates are really worried about the general."

Looking at Wei Bo, who didn't say a word in Gao Jushuai's case, Tang Cheng continued to say: "Even if the status of the subordinates is low. Since it is a general Shaojie, it is not appropriate to rank as a general and join the army. Judging by what they do, their subordinates are small. If the status quo in the army is like this and is not rectified, in the long run, the subordinates are afraid that if something happens, it will be difficult for the general to use the ten thousand cavalry."

Wei Bo tightly pinched the commander's jade talisman in his hand, "I only know one of them, I don't know the other, and the ten thousand cavalry army can't compare to the others."

As early as the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the Li clan raised troops in Jinyang to fight for the world, the later Emperor Taizong Li Shimin personally selected and formed a personal cavalry guard composed of 100 people, known as the 100 cavalry. These people were all selected from the official slaves and ethnic minority slaves at the bottom of society, so they were loyal to Li Shimin, who changed their fate and gave them a glorious future, to the point of death. In the subsequent struggle for hegemony in the world, and even in the later Xuanwumen Change, he made great contributions.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the hundred cavalry began to expand the army, and even the clothing was changed to the only tiger stripe clothes and leopard saddle in the world, but although the scale of the hundred cavalry expanded, the clothing also changed, and even the treatment was greatly improved compared with before, but there were two things that have not changed, first, the way of recruiting new soldiers remained the same, and all the ordinary soldiers of the ten thousand cavalry were recruited from slaves to make up the bloody warriors; The second point is that Wan Qi has always been inseparable from the emperor. From the beginning of the Taizong Dynasty to the present, for decades, as long as the Son of Heaven leaves the palace, whether it is hunting or going out of the city to escape the summer, the personal escort must be ten thousand horses, without exception. Although there is more than one military force in Chang'an City, only Wan Qi is the real personal guard, and it is also the last line of defense around the emperor.

The special history, the special status and the special source of troops have created a special Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, this army itself has a strong personality, which makes it difficult for the new commander to tame them, in front of such a special army, the grade background title and these things have become difficult, and this is the root cause of Wei Bo's embarrassment today.

"It's a pity, this is not a border army, let alone a town army", Wei Bo's last sentence was a little short of breath. With his background and background, why would he still have to suffer from this anger when he changed to another army, and he also pressed those Qiu Ba down.

The first army in the world, no wonder Empress Wei wanted to send his most trusted Wei Bo here.

After listening to this, Tang Cheng pondered for a while, "I don't know what the general's strategy for commanding the army is?" ”。

"Pacify Huairou", when he said these four words, Wei Bo was also full of unwillingness and helplessness, since his aunt returned to Chang'an from Fangzhou, how could he have been angry in the past few years? Since he took office in the 10,000 cavalry army, he has made up for all the anger he has not suffered in the past few years, and there is even a surplus. But after all, he is in his thirties, and Wei Bo always knows some truths about the overall situation, "Wanqi is not as good as others after all, appease Huairou and don't let them go wrong, so it is very important to have your job without missing it, keep an eye on these people for me."

"The subordinates will definitely do the right thing", Tang Cheng nodded, "However, the subordinates think that it is not a law for the general to blindly appease and appease."

Just say what you think."

Cheng paced to Wei Bo's handsome case and said softly: "The queen mother sent the general here, one is to believe in the weight, and the other is always to borrow weight, and now there are not a few people in the court who are dissatisfied with the queen mother, and there is no negligence...... The court of the Tang Dynasty of the former dynasty A Wuzi was so prominent that Wu Zetian was so prominent. In the end, it is inevitable that Zhang Cambodia's five people will lead the troops to force the palace, the front car will be overturned, and the rear car will be a lesson, and now the general of the court bureau understands better than his subordinates, and some things cannot be guarded against."

Facing Wei Bo's sudden burning gaze. Tang Cheng continued with an unchanged expression: "If there are only two armies of 10,000 cavalry and flying cavalry in Chang'an City, it is naturally good for the general to appease Huairou. As long as there are no problems with these two armies, even those who want to do great rebellious things will not be able to get it. But now in the city, in addition to the two guards and the four armies of Yulin, there are still tens of thousands of government soldiers drawn from various states in Gyeonggi Province to defend the city, these people come from different sources, and the quality is complicated, and the general dares to guarantee that they will not be bewitched and bought? In case something really goes wrong. The queen mother can rely on the most is the general to lead the army and protect the king. What if the horsemen do not listen to the command by then? ”。

Wei Houdi thought. Empress Wei's situation is now clear to Wei Bo in the middle of the court. In addition, Datang is a palace change tradition, and what Tang Cheng said really can't be regarded as alarmist with no possibility at all. Wei Bo's expression changed even after saying this, "What do you mean?" ”。

"Since you are the commander of ten thousand horses. The general must firmly control the ten thousand horses", Tang Cheng smashed his fist on the handsome case, "It involves the luck of the dynasty and the clan, everything must not be left to chance, it is better to take precautions now than to be caught off guard in the future." This is from a big point of view, firmly controlling Wanqi is to share the worries of the queen; In addition, doing a good job in this is also a must for the general to establish his own merits, the general has a bright future, and Yu Linyan can go away peacefully? If this is the case, it will be inevitable that people will gossip when the marquis pays homage to the prime minister in the future."

No matter how Tang Cheng's words are heard, he is planning for Wei Bo to be the queen's mother, and Wei Bo can't help but be impressed, "It's not that the general has not thought about what he said, but after all, Wanqi is not as good as others, and it is easier said than done."

"If you have the heart to do things, everything is not difficult. No matter how arrogant and tough the ten thousand cavalry are, it is always the army of the imperial court, and it is always necessary for the imperial court to provide for it", Tang Cheng sneered: "It is the duty of the general to rectify the army, and they dare to rebel."

"What do you mean?"

"In the final analysis, the way to unify the army is just the word reward and punishment, when the Fu is soothed, when the punishment is punished, it is the time for the general to show his might", Tang Cheng took another step forward in front of the handsome case with passionate words, "It is the right talent, if the general shows his might, the generals dare to be so presumptuous?" ”。

"It will be the courage of the soldiers, and these people are directly in the territory of the army, and they are only afraid of ...... if they are not properly deployed", Wei Bo shook his head again and again and said: "The commander of the army must give priority to stability, no, no."

Damn, this Wei Bo is really not easy to fool, after Tang Cheng sighed in his heart, he didn't retreat at all: "If the general thinks that it is inappropriate to deal with the general first, what about the ordinary sergeant?" ”。

"Ordinary sergeant?". Cheng sneered and said: "These ordinary sergeants are just slaves, if it weren't for the grace of the imperial court to enter them into the ten thousand horses, they would be killed without asking, why should they be arrogant and arrogant in such an identity?" The subordinates ask the general to reward the officers and soldiers of the whole army from tomorrow onwards, and if there are heavy punishments, otherwise it is not enough to establish authority, and the generals are not good at moving lightly, what are these ordinary soldiers afraid of, there is a vacancy, and I don't know how many officials and slaves in Chang'an are looking forward to making up for it with blood in their eyes."

Reward and punishment, when a real master of ten thousand horses, Tang Cheng's words are really very tempting to Wei Bo, but at the same time, the admonition of the third uncle and the seventh to seek stability and peace also clearly emerged, which made it difficult for Wei Bo, who had a gentle personality, to make a decision, and after thinking about it for a long time, after all, it was the third uncle's admonition that prevailed, "After all, the three horses are different ......."

Hearing this sentence again, Tang Cheng couldn't wait to jump to his feet.

"General", Tang Cheng took two steps back, bowed down and gave a long salute, "If the authority is not established, the orders will not work, and the general really can't blindly be soft." This sentence is really sad and desolate to the extreme, "If the general is afraid of messing up the whole army, then let's start small first, and choose Ichiro to try out the sergeants under his subordinates?" If the trial is good, then the whole army will be promoted one by one, and if there is really something wrong, it will not be able to mess up the overall situation."

At this point, Wei Bo has repeatedly worried about Tang Cheng for him, and there is no reason to refuse, "yes", sitting on the handsome case and looking at Tang Cheng with a worried face, Wei Bo is really very moved in his heart, after all, he is the only one in the army of ten thousand cavalry who is sincere to himself! "This is an errand that offends people, Gong Cao joined the army, Tian Shuanghu is sleek and unbearable. However, who should handle this matter? ”。

"It is incumbent on the general to share worries", Tang Cheng straightened his chest and pulled his back, and said in a sonorous voice: "My subordinates are willing to go."

Wei Bo selected the scope of the test was the Lang general Zhao Pu, and after the plan was certain, he ordered the captain on duty outside the account to summon Zhao Pu over, saying that from tomorrow onwards, Tang Jishi would go to his army to supervise military discipline.

"Tang Ji is going to your ministry to supervise military discipline on behalf of this marshal, and General Zhao Lang still needs the cooperation of a good student", the dignified Wei Bo really had a bit of the prestige of a general when he raised his face, looking at Wei Bo, who was a little different from the past, Zhao Pu glanced at Tang Cheng coldly after receiving the order.

The little white-faced rabbit must be remembering Lao Tzu's hatred for snubbing him just now, and wants to stumble over me, you feel good!

Zhao Pu's eyes came over coldly, and Tang Cheng returned with a smile. I'm just here to make trouble, I'm afraid you're a bad bastard!

In the afternoon of the same day, the thousands of people in Zhao Pu's department knew the news, and Marshal Weng Zhong sent a little white face surnamed Tang to supervise their military discipline, and they were the only ones in the entire 10,000-strong cavalry army who had this treatment.

From a slave to the envy of everyone today, Yulin Wanqi, the Son of Heaven guards. The sergeants of the first army of the Tang Dynasty are extremely inferior to extremely proud, their personalities and temperaments are really not ordinary and complex, they have been accustomed to being appeased and favored by the royal family over the years, and now they are suddenly going to be under a tight spell, who is willing to do it for a while, let alone this time it is only for a thousand of them. These people even look down on Wei Bo from the bottom of their hearts, let alone the little-known little white-faced Tang Cheng, he comes? Count a ball? As soon as the news came down, Zhao Pubu was really excited, and waited......

At the same time, in the prestigious Defu Liquor Shop in Chang'an City, Tang Cheng, who had chartered the largest Accord, was feasting, and in addition to the two Gong Cao Lu Shi who were allocated to him, the other twelve big men were all fierce people selected from Wei Bo's personal guards.

These twelve people are all big-shouldered and round-waisted, and Tang Chengyue, who is lined with them, is very long, and as for the two Gong Cao Lushi, they look like little chickens.

When the wine was half-drunk, there were no less than twenty empty wine jars on the ground, and together with Tang Cheng, everyone who counted one had a red wine halo on their faces.

"Lao Tzu has said it, to suppress these bastards of Wang Bacao, there is only one word, dare to move our fists, we have to dare to draw the knife, or if you don't have this ruthless errand assigned by the general, don't want to do it, now Lao Tzu asks again, who hasn't planted it, say it now, don't chill. If you don't say it now, you should be ruthless and ruthless when the time comes, Lao Tzu doesn't care about those Qiu Ba, I will have to chop you up first", poured a large amount of wine into his throat like pouring cold water, and the wine in his hand smashed on the messy table of cups and plates, Tang Cheng stepped on the stool, and stared at the twelve big men opposite like a wolf with bloodshot eyes, "Say!" ”。
