Chapter 80: Three Fires for New Officials to Take Office

The next morning, after breakfast, put on civilian clothes, Wu Zhi got into a carriage and was sent by Erhu to the military headquarters near Youye Gate to report.

When he came to the military department and explained his intentions, Liang Kuan, a member of the military department, hurriedly went through the formalities for him, and then respectfully handed him the farewell. Such a young member of the Sanpin Imperial Court, the second-in-command of the military department under the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Liang Kuan met it for the first time, so he was cautious and did not dare to slack off.

Wu Zhi smiled slightly, received the confession document, met with his colleagues, and went to visit General Xu and Zhao Tingzhi, who was also the secretary of the military department, and Zhao Tingzhi, the waiter of the military department.

"I've seen Xu Shangshu! I've seen Zhao Shilang! Wu Zhi is polite! As soon as Wu Zhi entered the door, he saw that both of them were there, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to them. These two people are elders, Xu Jiang is sixty years old, and Zhao Tingzhi is fifty-seven years old, he can't be rude.

"Master Wu is here! Sit down and drink tea, this is the dragon and phoenix tea brought by the husband and brother, and it tastes good! When General Xu and Zhao Tingzhi saw Wu Zhi coming in, they quickly stopped talking, got up to greet him, and General Xu said with a smile, please take a seat. Zhao Tingzhi also hurriedly greeted Wu Zhi with a smile, "Zhengfu" is his expression.

Now facing Wu Zhi, Xu Jiang and Zhao Tingzhi no longer have the contempt, calmness and calmness they had a few months ago. is only twenty years old, and he is already a member of the imperial court from a second-rank civilian to a third-rank martial artist, and the speed of promotion makes the two of them feel ashamed. Moreover, now in the Ministry of War, people's official positions are only one step lower than General Xu, one level higher than Zhao Tingzhi, a proper second-in-command!

The three military giants gathered, chatted over tea, and talked happily. Wu Zhi's calmness, ease and modesty surprised Xu Jiang and Zhao Tingzhi, and at the same time, they also had a good impression of him, and they didn't dare to treat him as a junior.

Zhao Tingzhi, Zi Zhengfu, is also a relatively famous virtuous minister, with a strong personality, and he is afraid of the old party and the new party, so he is closer to Xu Jiang; And he also has a more famous son, that is Zhao Mingcheng, the husband of a generation of female lyricist Li Qingzhao!

Longtuan tea is really good, and it deserves to be a tribute. After three teas, Wu Zhi said goodbye to the two of them, went out of the yamen of the military department, and went to the yamen of the front of the palace, and he also had to report to the front of the palace. Wu Zhi secretly thought that his main business should be the commander of the front division of the palace, and the secretary of the power and military department was just a part-time servant. His usual energy should be mainly focused on the front division of the palace, and the military department should go around occasionally, as long as he shows up from time to time.

The front of the palace commands the embassy office and the yamen is in the palace, close to the Donghua Gate. Wu Zhi instructed Erhu to wait near the right gate, showed his body, and after entering the imperial city through the right gate, he walked alone to the front of the palace.

When I came to the front of the palace, I saw four young guards in bright red armor in front of the yamen on duty, holding spears and eyeing them fiercely.

"Who? Hold it! As soon as Wu Zhi approached the door, the guard instantly pointed his spear forward, pointed at him and scolded.

"I'll find your deputy commander and ask him to come out to see me!" Wu Zhi was not angry and arrogant, and said unhurriedly.

"Are you looking for our Deputy Envoy Yan? Hahaha! Boy, don't you open your eyes and see, what kind of place is this? Hurry up, hurry up, go away! This is not the place for you! Seeing that he was young and a scholar with a weak appearance, although he looked a little heroic and impressed, he was dressed ordinarily, and he was not a big man, and they disdainfully prepared to drive him away.

"Wait! You're new here, aren't you? I looked for Yan Sheng, and I said that Wu Zhi wanted to see him! Seeing this, Wu Zhi immediately sank his face, waved his hand, and released a majestic aura, and his awe-inspiring appearance startled the four of them. And when they heard Wu Zhi call Yan Sheng by his name, the four of them couldn't help but be a little frightened, but they still didn't let him in.

"Why don't I go and report it? Please wait a moment! One of them was more clever, and after saying hello to Wu Zhi, he turned around and ran towards the yamen.

After a while, a group of more than a dozen people hurried out of the yamen, led by Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu. Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu had already received the will of the imperial court, and knew that Wu Zhi was now the supreme commander of the palace front division, so how dare they slack off, so they immediately rushed over with the subordinate officials who were on duty.

Seeing this battle, the four guards on duty were a little frightened.

"Idiot!" Seeing that Wu Zhi's guards were stopping at the door, Yan Sheng reprimanded the guards on duty fiercely, and then hurriedly bowed to Wu Zhi, and said respectfully: "I have seen Master Hou, please forgive my subordinates for being late!" ”

"My subordinates have seen Master Hou!" Li Tingyu and the others also hurriedly bowed respectfully to Wu Zhi.

"That's it, those who don't know are not guilty!" Wu Zhi bowed to everyone, and then greeted Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu.

When the four guards on duty heard the word "Hou Ye", they were all pale with fright, sincerely frightened, and at a loss, especially the guard who had just scolded Wu Zhi, who was particularly frightened. When they heard Wu Zhi say "those who don't know are not guilty", the four of them turned their sadness into joy, and their spirits were a little calm.

"Who's that, what's your name?" After greeting Yan Sheng, Li Tingyu and the others, Wu Zhi pointed to the young janissary who had just gone to inform him and asked.

"Back to Lord Hou, villain Lu Qian!" When the young janissary saw Wu Zhi's inquiry, he hurriedly bowed deeply and bowed, and responded loudly, very cleverly.

"Oh! Lu Qian! Is it the modesty of the land land? When Wu Zhi heard this, he was stunned in his heart, good guy, this is Lu Yuhou, the master who framed Lin Chong in a certain biography! However, history has changed a little, Lin Chong is no longer what it used to be, and he is probably powerless if he wants to frame others now, and there is no such situation. Wu Zhi pondered for a moment, stared at Lu Qian, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes! Be! Lu Qian was stared at by Wu Zhi so that his scalp was numb, and he replied in a trembling voice.

I saw Lu Qian in front of me, in his twenties, who looked quite powerful, with a little clear eyebrows and a long figure, and he was a handsome person. Wu Zhi thought for a moment, and then said, "Lu Qian, right? From today onwards, you're all over! ”

When everyone around heard this, they were a little stunned, and then Yan Sheng kicked Lu Qian and scolded with a smile: "Good luck for you kid!" I haven't thanked the palace marshal yet! ”

Lu Qian was a little stunned, and only came back to his senses after being reminded by Yan Sheng, but when he heard the word "palace marshal", he was stunned again, and he was stunned for a moment, before he woke up like a dream, and responded with joy: "Thank you, Master Hou!" Thank you, Shuai! ”

Lu Qian was happy in his heart, he was clever, he reported to Wu Zhi, and he was a junior official from the ninth rank for nothing, and he was able to lead a hundred people. The other three Praetorian guards regretted it and were inexplicably envious. The four of them finally understood by now that the young man in front of them was the highest commander of their palace front division, and they couldn't help but smack their tongues and exclaim.

Wu Zhi ignored him anymore, led by Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu, and strode into the front of the palace.

When they came to the White Tiger Festival Hall, after Wu Zhi sat down in the handsome seat, Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu hurriedly led everyone and saluted him again, trembling.

"You don't have to be polite! Sit down, naturally! Seeing this, Wu Zhi returned a salute and said to Yan Sheng, Li Tingyu and the others with a smile.

Seeing that he was easy-going, everyone was finally able to let go of their hearts, sat down in order, and looked at Wu Zhi in awe. It's no wonder they have to be in awe, the young man in front of them is indeed too mysterious for them.

The world is unpredictable and unpredictable. The last time they competed in the forbidden military academy, Wu Zhi, who seemed to be weak, gave them a dismount, swept the entire palace division, and earned the reputation of "the champion of both civil and military affairs". But now it's only been more than a year, and the young people are already the ministers of the Hou Ye and Cong Erpin, and they have become their heads, commanding most of the forbidden army!

Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu were even more awe-inspiring in their hearts, sighing and sighing. The two of them had already learned about Wu Zhi's miraculous performance from Li Tingliang's mouth and Li Tingliang's description, and they were all impressed, and the two of them also held the idea of pong Wu Zhi's thighs.

Wu Zhi chatted with everyone, introduced by Yan Sheng, met everyone present, asked about many matters in the division, and roughly understood the structure, staffing and operation of the front division of the palace. Wu Zhi talks freely, and is not domineering, and talks to everyone like a homely person, and immediately wins everyone's trust and favor.

When the conversation was about the same, Yan Sheng handed over the tiger talisman and handsome seal left by Tian Shiru, the commander of the former division of the front hall, to Wu Zhi, and at the same time, Liu Quan, the official of the front division of the palace, also did it himself, and handled the farewell of the commander of the front division of the palace to Wu Zhi, and handed it to him respectfully.

Wu Zhi played with the tiger talisman, handsome seal and farewell in his hand, full of emotion, and was silent in thought. When everyone saw that he was distracted, they all stopped talking and looked at him quietly. The scene fell silent.

After a while, Wu Zhi came back to his senses, and when he saw everyone staring at him solemnly, he couldn't help but smile lightly and waved his hand: "Brother Yan, Brother Li and Liu Gongshi will stay, and the others will go their own way!" ”

Wu Zhi said, casually put away the tiger charm, handsome seal and sue body, put it in the pocket on his body, he tied a belt with a bamboo grenade, after removing the grenade, the pocket on the belt can be used to hold other things, it is very convenient, especially after the embroidered buckle is buckled, the things on it will hardly fall, it is very safe, this is a secret he found in the northwest, so he developed the habit of tying a belt with him.

After the others left, Wu Zhi beckoned Yan Sheng, Li Tingyu and Liu Quan to sit down, these three people were the three most powerful people in the front of the palace besides him, and he had some things to discuss with them.

The three of them sat down and looked at Wu Zhi respectfully, especially Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu, who were thundered by the "Brother Yan and Brother Li" that Wu Zhi said just now, and they are still inexplicably excited, Wu Hou can treat them as brothers, that is their great honor!

"I'll just say three things, first, in the future, everyone will still perform their own duties, and I will not divide everyone's rights; Secondly, in three days, I will review the three armies, and I hope you will be ready; Third, I am going to invite the imperial court to form a new army, select and promote the whole army, and even recruit the guards of the Ma Bu Army, and I hope you can help you at that time! Wu Zhi looked at the three of them and said his thoughts unhurriedly.

is the so-called three fires of the new official taking office, these are the three fires after he takes office! As for the situation that prevailed in the forbidden army, such as empty salaries, weak combat strength, and soldiers not knowing the generals and generals, he could only leave it for later.

Yan Sheng and the other three listened to it, and nodded busily yes. None of these three points involved their vital interests, did not weaken the power in their hands, and the three of them definitely supported it.

Seeing that the three of them had no objections, Wu Zhi sent them away, sat alone in the White Tiger Festival Hall for a while, and then left the front division of the palace, walked out of the palace from the left door, slowly walked to the right door, found the second tiger, and got into the carriage to go home.

Wu Zhi is now the supreme commander of the front division of the palace, and it is up to him to decide when he goes to work and when he is on duty.
