Zheng Shuqing was almost blocked by those old and bitter masters of old cases who "petitioned" for a day.

It wasn't until nearly half an hour before the curfew that the soldiers of Jin Wuwei arrived belatedly and dispersed the crowd. Immediately, Jin Wuwei's men also left.

What is called flexible law enforcement is vividly demonstrated by these people.

But Zheng Shuqing didn't have anything to say. Although these bad tricks are indeed very cheap, they are also within the basic framework of the political struggle in the imperial court, even if Li Longji knows about it, he will not say anything.

If you want to blame, blame the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen for not doing it well. Because I have accumulated too many troubles in the past, it is not surprising that I am being troubled by others now.

Having said that, the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen is certainly in a hurry now, but Jin Wuwei's current situation is not much better, and these two families seem to be a pair of difficult brothers.

Jin Wuwei is indeed one of the forbidden armies that existed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but compared with other brother units of the "Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya", it has the dual identity of the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven and the forbidden army of the imperial court.

In other words, when the emperor had an order, Jin Wuwei listened to the emperor.

If the emperor said that the center of the court commanded Jin Wuwei, or did not make a clear statement, then they would listen to the prime minister.

It's just a thousand people, and Jin Wuwei is a tool man who is manipulated by political forces at will!

Their political status and situation in the late Kaiyuan and Tianbao years were also very embarrassing.

Speaking of closeness, Li Longji's pro-army is the Longwu Army, which has the nature of a "private guard", and the appointment and dismissal are all made by Li Longji alone, and there is no need for the approval of the Zhongshu Sect and the lower province.

When it comes to strength, Jin Wuwei is only a thousand people. Not only it, because of the decline of the government military system, the soldiers came from the sixteen guards of the southern ya, and the scale of the establishment was also cut again and again.

The strength of the army depends first of all on the size of the establishment. Obviously, Jin Wuwei could not establish two battalions of the Tang Border Army (one battalion of 500 people and one battalion owner), and it was not a strong army.

When it comes to the level of elite, most of the people in Jin Wuwei are abandoned children of official eunuchs who don't study, and their martial arts are sparse and ordinary. It still looks like that on weekdays, and the quality of the soldiers is probably stained with the light of their mothers who are all beautiful girls, and they are all handsome. Jin Wuwei's armor is also very fine and beautiful, so when he stood over there, he looked like a dog.

But appearance is their only advantage.

Zuo Prime Minister Zhang Shouqi asked Jin Wuwei to deliberately let go of the defense around the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and they could only do so.

This trick is to force Zheng Shuqing to take the initiative to resign and apologize!

Otherwise, with the thickness of this person's skin, as long as Brother Ji doesn't remove him, he will dare to stay in Jing Zhaoyin's position and not leave!

……

However, just as the situation in Chang'an City was surging, the hunting team in Zhongnan Mountain was in full swing, with a lively and harmonious atmosphere.

Needless to say, Brother Ji took the lead in playing, he had to play polo, shoot slingshots, and ride horses every day, as if he had returned to the prosperous years when he was still the king of Linzi.

"Okay, that's a good shot!"

In the morning, Li Longji was watching people play polo on the sidelines, and Li Heng's third son, Li Qi, galloped on the horse and played a very tricky goal. Looking at this scene, Brother Ji shouted loudly, and Li Heng's sons, such as Li Yu (that is, Li Yu), Li Department and others, were all applauding immediately.

Li Longji's other sons, such as Li Wan, Li Yuan, Li Pu and others, also watched with a smile on the sidelines.

At least this scene, on the surface, is extremely harmonious and energetic.

However, what the many princes and grandsons present thought in their hearts, Brother Ji didn't want to know and didn't care.

At the scene, only Li Heng, the king of loyalty, had a calm face, not happy at all, and certainly not sad, it seemed to be a bit of "joy and anger are invisible".

The old god is here like an anomaly.

Li Longji glanced at Li Heng, displeased in his heart. When I thought of Princess Zhong's affair, I felt even more disgusted in my heart.

He beckoned to Gao Lishi, lowered his voice and said, "Let King Zhongwang Zhang Luo camp and eat tonight." ”

After a while, Gao Lishi went and returned, and bowed deeply to Li Longji. Sure enough, the eye-catching Li Heng had already taken the order and had already gone away.

When the eye-catching person left, Li Longji's mood suddenly improved, squinting at the emperor's grandchildren who were sweating like rain on the polo field, and sighed for a while that time was like an arrow, and time was like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, he is also about to reach the age of dying.

Time flies so fast, the years in the world are so short, damn it, why can't you live a long life!

Li Longji felt a burst of sighs and melancholy in his heart.

He already owns the world, everything is his, but time is not his!

At this moment, an officer dressed as Jin Wuwei rode at a gallop and was led to Li Longji. In front of Brother Ji, the man handed over a certain piece of white jade pendant to Gao Lishi, and said the words "the richest man in Chang'an".

Hearing this, Gao Lishi suddenly realized, and then grabbed the man and asked, "Fang Chongyong was caught in the Jinwuwei Yamen?" ”

"General Hui Gao, it is true."

"Waiting on the sidelines."

Gao Lishi waved his hand, took the Jin Wuwei officer away, and then walked in front of Li Longji, and handed Fang Chongyong's piece of Western Regions milk white jade to this Tang Emperor.

"Isn't this what was awarded to Fang Chongyong when Hexi won a great victory a few years ago? How did it end up here? ”

Li Longji asked suspiciously.

Many things, he is not very clear, they are all taken care of by Colliers, and he only asks a rough question.

"Back to the saint, when Fang Chongyong was in Hexi, he was doing some business. Among them, Chang'an's Wang father and son occupy a large part. ”

Gao Lishi said quietly.

There are a lot of people here, and a lot of confidential things can be ordered to the end.

Sure enough, Li Longji understood and nodded slightly. He thought for a moment, lowered his voice and asked, "How much did Fang Chongyong take from it?" ”

"Back to the saint, he only took the court money."

Hearing this, Brother Ji was stunned for a while, and then asked, "Then what is he trying to do?" ”

It's not just that he doesn't know, but even Colliers doesn't know much about it.

Gao Lishi saluted Li Longji with his hands crossed: "Back to the saint, the slave doesn't know, but it is true that he didn't take it, and the accounts are very clear." ”

"Also, what could he do when he was a child with so much money?"

Li Longji nodded slightly, as if he understood Fang Chongyong's thoughts.

If you don't have the strength to protect yourself, then don't run around with a chest full of gold and silver treasures, the idiom that the husband is not guilty of his guilt is already thunderous! And if you want to protect yourself on the west side of the river, what you need is the army!

Fang Chongyong is a teenager, where did he go to change the army, and where could he afford to raise the army!

"I've heard that there is a lot of fighting in Chang'an City now."

Li Longji suddenly said something "interesting".

Gao Lishi replied: "That's true, Jingzhao Mansion Yin arrested Zhang Zheng, the son of Zhang Yi in the imperial history, on the grounds of fraud in the imperial examination. And the bitter masters of the unsolved cases in the past of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen are blocking the Yamen to find trouble with Zheng Shuqing. ”

"Hehe, it's a lively fight, it's just good-looking. If you don't fight, it's not interesting. ”

Li Longji touched the white beard on his chin with great interest, and didn't feel that there was anything strange about these things.

Political struggles are all these bird things, and Li Linfu and Zhang Shouqi are now restrained.

"Zuo Xiang was born in the army, and he was a little violent......"

Colliers suggested quietly.

"Indeed, Fang Chongyong is doing things for me, although he has come back now, but the business route that he broke out back then has not been broken.

How could he arrest him to the Jinwuwei Yamen because he was fighting for power with the right minister, and he was not a person from the right minister. ”

Li Longji nodded slightly and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"What the saint said is very true. After hearing that Fang Chongyong resigned from his official position, he was ready to participate in this imperial examination......"

Colliers continued to add oil and vinegar to the side.

This is the power of their personal eunuchs, often saying good or bad things about someone in front of the emperor, and the emperor will naturally have a corresponding impression of that person.

These are human nature.

"This little man from Fang Quanzhong's family is very interesting! Hahahahaha! ”

As if he had thought of something funny, Li Longji clapped his hands and said to Gao Lishi: "If he wants to play, I will play with him." This time, I will make him the champion. ”

This is also a good horse!

Gao Lishi was frightened, and he couldn't understand what kind of way of thinking Li Longji was doing things now. The other party's current thinking is like rejuvenation.

Things are not as steady as before, but there is a mentality of "watching fun and not being afraid of big things".

"Sage, the imperial examination is to select talents for the country, and the system is ......"

Colliers suggested in a whisper.

Li Longji waved his hand boredly and said:

"To be able to be a stabbing history in Shazhou for four years, and to make it so that the door is not closed at night, and the trade routes are accessible, can this be called talentless?

He has already proven his ability in Hexi, and I also know about the imperial examination, and you also know who is a talent and who is not, isn't it obvious? ”

Hearing this, Gao Lishi hurriedly fell to the ground in fright and pleaded guilty!

Li Longji helped him up and continued:

"Fang Chongyong has a great ability to be an official and has a strong ability to do things, but he has no ability to take the exam at all.

I just want to see what kind of mess he can make with this guy who can toss. ”

Li Longji sneered.

Zhang Yi's son Zhang Zheng actually advertised everywhere that he had won the imperial examination, but he hadn't taken the exam yet! When he saw the dossier sent by Li Linfu, Li Longji almost became furious and directly dismissed Zhang Yi.

But he held back.

Because Zhang Yi is certainly selfish, Li Linfu is not a good bird, and Zhang Shouqi is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

I heard that when Zhang Shouqi was on the political side of Hexi, he acquiesced in the plundering of Hu merchants by his subordinate Qiu Baminghuo!

That's pretty much an open secret.

This person is ruthless, and he is also half a pound and eight taels with Li Linfu, which can be regarded as a raccoon dog.

Although he left Chang'an City, Li Longji has been sending people to closely monitor the movements inside and outside the city to ensure that the fighting methods between the two prime ministers and the forces of all parties will not get out of control.

"Let Zhang Yi in the imperial history be responsible for investigating the relevant cases of the imperial examination. Let Zheng Shuqing release Zhang Zheng and continue to detain the others. ”

With a wave of his hand, Li Longji wiped out most of the "phased achievements" on the side of the right minister Li Linfu, and also gave Zhang Yi the power of Li Linfu to investigate the imperial examination case.

Well, Zhang Yinai is an official of the Imperial History Tower, and it is his job to picket illegality, and it is indeed reasonable to investigate whether the officials who organized the imperial examination have committed fraud.

It's just that in this way, won't the situation in Chang'an be more inclined to the left minister Zhang Shouqi?

Colliers was a little confused and didn't know what to say.

It stands to reason that Fang Chongyong's detention was actually a slap in the face for Li Longji. Although Zhang Shouji's move may be because he doesn't know the inside story, Li Longji should still beat the other party!

But now it seems that Kego's idea is not so simple.

"Lux, you go to the Jinwuwei Yamen to pass the decree and let Fang Chongyong serve as the general of the left Jinwuwei."

Li Longji threw another bombshell!

Colliers has been shaken speechless!

"Thorn Shi is a fourth-grade official, and General Jin Wuwei Zhonglang is also a fourth-grade official, just a flat tone, does Lux think there is a problem?"

Seeing that Gao Lishi did not move, Li Longji asked with a smile.

Of course, there is no problem, but Zheng Shuqing is also from the Jingzhao Mansion Yin of Sanpin, so why is he always bullied!

It's not because the official position does not represent the authority, the same is a third-grade official, and the article in it is too big.

Jin Wuwei Zhonglang General, that is, Chang'an City can squint at people to look at the "super official position", in Chang'an City, this acre of three points, its actual power is far greater than the same four-grade thorn history!

The official position setting in Jin Wuwei actually follows the principle of "not the right person" for the official position set up by Datang, which can be described as "heavy organs", leaving a lot of big holes.

On the surface, General Zuo Jin Wuwei, the official position should be above General Zuo Jin Wuwei. However, the former is an official position held by a border town general or a festival envoy, and the people who hold official positions are not in Chang'an.

And the latter is the real commander of Chang'an Jin Wuwei!

One left and one right, two lieutenant generals, each in charge of 500 people. It is often one in charge of the imperial city and the other in charge of the outer city, and the defense is changed regularly.

"Back to the saint, Fang Chongyong is still young, will he ...... What about causing trouble? ”

Colliers asked, somewhat uncertain. In fact, the person who is now serving as General Zuo Jin Wuwei is Wang Zhonghei, Fang Chongyong's quasi-father-in-law!

Theoretically, just in charge of him, it can be regarded as a pair of strange official appointments.

Colliers kept his face strained and almost didn't laugh.

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Go and pass the decree, tell your brother Nu, just go through the formalities for this matter." ”

He didn't explain much why he was playing like this.

In fact, the appointment of officials above the sixth rank needs to be drafted by the prime minister first, approved by the Ji Ge side and then sent to the Menxia Province for approval, and can only be issued as an edict after completing the procedures.

However, no one can stop Brother Ji's strength in personnel appointments, that is, Zhang Jiuling dared to have a hard top with Brother Ji back then!

"Then how should the current Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang arrange Li Mi?"

Colliers asked a crucial question.

Li Mi has been in the army for many years, and he is almost fifty years old this year, so he can be said to be the general who killed Tianbao in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

"After moving to serve Yushi and Jiannan Dao, let him go to Chengdu to take office."

Li Longji waved his hand and left Li Mi a real position in a border town.

……

"Fang Yuanjun, have you thought about it? What about a certain proposal? ”

In a certain signing room in the Jinwuwei Yamen of the Imperial City of Chang'an, Zhang Xiancheng looked at Fang Chongyong with a calm face and asked.

"Is the money on the Hexi Trade Road really that important to you?"

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but ask.

"The money is not for me, it's for ...... That's it, there's nothing to say. Today, Zheng Shuqing was so frightened that he didn't dare to go out of the yamen. It's not that safe out there either.

You better stay here and wait for the saint to come back, and then you can go back. You can think about it slowly, I can afford to wait. ”

Zhang Xiancheng sighed helplessly.

"You can't have something that doesn't exist in the first place. So-and-so has already said that the so-called shares are all your own imagination. ”

Fang Chongyong also sighed helplessly, why did he tell the truth to this Zhang Yanei, but he just didn't want to listen to it?

"Enough! Don't take so-and-so for a fool! A certain account, part of the money is missing, it can only be you who took it! ”

Zhang Xiancheng suddenly became angry and yelled at Fang Chongyong.

At this moment, the fire outside the door flickered, and the figures were crowded, as if many people were coming here.

"Zhang Xiancheng, you joined the army as the secretary of Zuo Jinwuwei, why don't you go to the place where you run your own errand? What do you do here late at night? ”

A middle-aged general with a frowning brow, wearing a Jinwu guard uniform, but not wearing armor, pointed at Zhang Xiancheng and scolded him with displeasure.

He is Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang General Li Mi.

Behind him, followed by the smiling Colliers, who was nodding lightly at the other party.
