Chapter 21 Changsun Wuji who cannot see through

 The Mansion of General Youyi Zhonglang

According to the notification from Jingzhao Mansion, several cases recently occurred in the jurisdiction of General Youyi Zhonglang Mansion and aroused public opinion. Therefore, when arranging patrol tasks, Du Jing specifically requested to focus on patrolling the area where the crime occurred.

Just as he was telling the officers leading the team to pay more attention to fire prevention matters during patrols, a very annoying face appeared outside the door - Changsun Wuji.

To be honest, Du Jing doesn't want to have too much contact with him. This old fox has a pair of piercing eyes, unfathomable scheming, and unscrupulous means.

Playing against him will always make you feel that you still have a chance to resist, but he will always be faster than you. Even if you know what is happening, there is nothing you can do.

Waving his hand to signal the generals to go about their errands, Du Jing picked up the kettle, poured a cup of hot water, and said calmly: "The hospitality is not good, I only have water here."

Changsun Wuji often followed the saint in and out of the military camp, and was not impressed by the simplicity of the military camp. He blew a few breaths, took a sip, and said: "It's very clean!"

This is not just about the water utensils, but also the entire residence of General Youyi Zhonglang. The barracks are full of sloppy Qiu Ba, and mess is the norm. No superiors come to inspect, so don’t expect them to clean it up.

But General You Yi Zhonglang's mansion is different. When you enter from outside the mansion, there is not a fallen leaf in the courtyard. The tables and chairs in the main hall are spotless. Even the towels for people to wash in the corner are hung neatly.

Changsun Wuji used to be General Zuo Wuhou. Of course, this was not his first time here. The office was clean, which was very different from what he remembered. He only made ripples, not splashes. Du Jing indeed had his own unique way of leading troops.

Set.

Of course Du Jing knew the implication of his words, and immediately replied: "I don't like sloppy soldiers. If their clothes and armor are not neat, they will definitely be served by military sticks."

Haha, putting down the water cup, Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "You are more harsh than your father. When he leads the army, he prefers to mingle with the soldiers."

Changsun Wuji was right. Du Jing's way of leading troops was very different from Li Shimin's. He always believed that generals and soldiers did not have to share joys and sorrows in everything. A general had only one responsibility, and that was to win.

As long as the battle is won, everything will be fine. All they want is a receipt for a reward; and as their general, all Du Jing has to do is double the number of receipts.

"Zhao Guogong, I believe you are not here to discuss your experience in leading troops with me. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

I thought that Changle and Changsun Chong had reconciled as husband and wife, and Changsun Wuji should stop pestering him. But this old boy is like a grudge, what exactly does he want to do!

Of course Changsun Wuji could hear his impatience, but he wasn't annoyed either, since he wasn't his nephew anyway.

Moreover, he came today to deliver a message on behalf of the Saint: In view of the Yonghe Restaurant incident, the Saint decided to strengthen the authority of General Youyi Zhonglang's mansion - reconnaissance, arrest, and interrogation.

Among the four Yi mansions of the left and right Wu Houwei, only the You Yi Zhonglang mansion was granted this power, and the area was not limited to the area under its jurisdiction, but the entire Chang'an city.

The previous Du Jing wrote that some of the functions of Marquis Wu and the bad guys overlap, please clearly divide the duties. The sage's intention is to slow things down and not to do it overnight. For the time being, the bad guys in the jurisdiction of General Youyi Zhonglang's mansion will be assigned to

Du Jing is temperate.

The reason for such a huge effort is because the number of Baiqi is limited, and expanding the army without authorization will lead to impeachment by the censors, so General Youyi Zhonglang, who has performed well recently, was selected.

Of course, Changsun didn't want to explain too much about the saint's selfishness. Perhaps it was because of his blood relationship that he was so relieved that Du Jing would intervene in such a matter. In short, General Youyi's mansion is the front stage, Baiqi is the backstage, and internal and external cooperation should be

Can sing well.

Of course Du Jing disagrees. He has his own affairs to deal with when he returns to Chang'an. He can do his job well, so why bother with so much. If the emperor wants to catch the rebels, he should catch them himself. What does it have to do with me?

Spreading his hands, Du Jing said nonchalantly: "What if I refuse?"

Reject!

Since the ninth year of Wude, he has never heard of anyone daring to disobey the emperor's wishes.

As a friendly reminder from Changsun Wuji, those who were dissatisfied, such as Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, Jiancheng and Yuanji, who were dissatisfied, have all been buried in the ground.

Young people, it is a good thing to have a temper, but don't go too far. Even if the saint feels guilty for him, it is limited. Therefore, Du Jing has no choice but to accept it.

Seeing the sullen look on Du Jing's face, Changsun Wuji said consolingly: "Qianfan, since you have chosen to return to Chang'an, you cannot escape the responsibility of being a subject, nor can you escape the obligation of being a son."

Anyway, Cheng Chubi is the official of the seventh rank and above of General Youyi Zhonglang. You can take this opportunity to pick some suitable people to use, and it will be much more convenient to do things.

Moreover, if he does what he wants, he can use his power for personal gain and investigate what he cares about, and he no longer has to go it alone.

Changsun Wuji served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and there were many of his old ministers there. As long as Du Jing liked them, he could directly send a document to the Ministry of Personnel, and people would naturally find their superiors.

As for the Ministry of War, the Prime Minister is also in charge of the transfer of generals, so he can also go and say hello.

The appearance of Changsun Wuji put Du Jing in a daze. As the pillar of the East Palace, shouldn't Changsun Wuji be able to curb the development of the princes?

Even his nephew Li Tai has never seen him so helpful. If he hadn't known about his life experience, Du Jing would have suspected that Changsun Wuji was his uncle.

"Why help me?"

"Help you?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said resolutely: "Even if I know your identity, I don't have to curry favor with you."

During the conversation, the eldest grandson stood up and left. When he reached the door, he stopped and said, "I'm not helping you, I'm just returning Keming's favor."

In the eyes of young people, when Jinyang raised troops to dominate the Tang Dynasty, it was just an overnight victory. But they don't understand how much suffering they have to go through.

Du Jing will not understand the friendship established between the older generation through countless lives and deaths.

Seeing Changsun Wuji disappear from sight, Du Jing shook his head. He really couldn't understand what kind of person Changsun Wuji was.

One moment he uses whatever means necessary, the other moment he keeps his word. When making decisions, he must look at problems rationally while also taking into account his emotions. Isn't he afraid of schizophrenia?

In their eldest grandson's family, Queen Wende is more normal. Her loving smile is definitely a ray of sunshine in Du Jing's dull childhood life.

With such a volatile person like Changsun Wuji, are she and she really brothers and sisters who share the same land?

But there is one thing, Old Changsun is right, Du Jing has no choice, the will is the will, as a soldier, he has no choice but to obey, just obey.

But he was still young when he was kidnapped and left Chang'an. After returning to Chang'an, he has been working as an errand in the Wuhou Guards. He rarely walks around in official circles and has a dark eye for officials in various ministries in Chang'an.

Moreover, the "salary" here is not high, and those civil servants who are accustomed to sitting in the yamen may not be willing to get involved in Qiubadui. It is difficult to form a military guard who can be responsible for regional security and handle special cases.

The coefficient is not generally large.

Du Jing sat in the main hall for a whole day, racking her brains and not thinking about where to find reliable and capable helpers.
