Chapter 637: Where to Recruit People
Li Chongjiu was happy for a moment, and said: "Since the imperial guards and solitary can pick their own, what about the eunuchs in the East Palace, as well as the palace maids, can they also pick their own?" ”
As the crown prince, Wu Youren panicked for him when he asked such a question. The prince of an empire doesn't even have the right to choose the people who serve him in his palace, so this prince will inevitably be set up in space, but sympathy is sympathy, even if Wu Youren is bullish, but if he faces Liang Dazhong, he still has to bow his head.
Wu Youren said: "This, the people who are serving in the East Palace...... Of course, there is absolutely no problem in choosing and choosing, but you still need to think in the long run! ”
Liang Dazhong's temper is yin and ruthless, Wu Youren didn't know it today, how dare he touch Liang Dazhong's tiger buttocks, and even if Li Chongjiu went to beg Li Yan and the queen, he really re-selected eunuchs and palace maids for the East Palace, but where did those newcomers come from?
If you still use the people in the palace, then whether it is a little eunuch or a palace maid, isn't it still Liang Dazhong's person, if you pick a new one from the outside, the palace maid must be trained before she can use it, who will train? Let Lee Chong-koo train himself? This is impossible, don't you have to be trained by Liang Dazhong, then you still have to train to be Liang Dazhong's people!
As for the little eunuchs, if you don't use the original ones in the palace and recruit new people from the outside, the new little eunuchs who enter the palace will be stabbed, and this knife will be stabbed, and after a few months of hard work, I just want to walk as usual, and which one can still read novels on my mobile phone? Mobile Reading Network Waiting? It's also impossible.
So in the past few months, wouldn't Liang Dazhong be able to make the new eunuch into the palace his person, this is certain. Therefore, if you want to bypass Liang Dazhong in the affairs of the palace, it is a fantasy, even if Li Yan and the queen personally decree it, it will not work, and it will not be able to bypass it either!
Li Chongjiu can be regarded as understanding. After listening to Wu Youren's words, he was a little depressed, but he didn't blame Wu Youren for not being able to think of a way, he just said in a low voice: "It's a pity that the people in the manor before Gu were burned to death, otherwise there would be no shortage of manpower, and everything would be controlled by others." ”
Wu Youren had no choice but to say: "Step by step, slowly and slowly, let's first pick the guards who protect the East Palace, this is the top priority." ”
Li Chongjiu said twice in a row. Said: "How to choose this?" Is it chosen from the Praetorian Guard? ”
Wu Youren shook his head and said: "First, the queen mother means that as long as there are capable people, they don't have to be from good backgrounds, and second, if they are selected from the Praetorian Guard, I am afraid that the people who are selected are still the captains, especially those in the Praetorian Guard...... This, you are very dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince, so you must not choose from the Praetorian Guard, otherwise the guards selected and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are not of the same mind. Wouldn't that be even more dangerous? ”
Li Chongjiu shivered, and as soon as Wu Youren reminded him, he remembered that his princess who had died. is a relative of Gui Baohua, one of the generals in the Praetorian Guard, the princess is dead, but she has an absolute relationship with him, although I don't know if the matter is exposed. But Gui Baohua must be dissatisfied with him, in case he recruits people from the Praetorian Guard, it is estimated that Gui Baohua will stuff people inside. Then his safety is really a concern.
"So, where do you recruit people from?" Li Chongjiu was in trouble, he didn't know where to recruit people, he didn't even have his own manor before, very little.
Wu Youren is also a little blind, when the queen gave him this task, he felt that it was very easy to do, isn't it just to recruit people, as long as he has some ability, of course, the more important thing is loyalty, the imperial guards are different from other soldiers, generally do not need to go to the battlefield, the main responsibility is to protect the palace from attack, as well as the personal safety of the emperor's family.
But this world is the Dafang Empire, and the palace is the center of the world, how can anyone come to attack the palace, thinking that everyone is Yang Ze, and unless it is a powerful political enemy, who will send someone to assassinate the emperor's family, in fact, as long as Li Chongjiu is careful, he will not be in any danger, so the most important thing for the imperial guards is not to be able to fight, but to be loyal.
But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and loyalty is the most difficult thing to get, and the imperial guards also collectively took refuge in the eldest princess, even a tough person like Queen Dugu can't put an end to this kind of thing, let alone Li Chongjiu, who wants nothing.
Wu Youren thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This still needs to let the minister think about it, you must find the kind of person who is not from a rich family, but the family background is innocent, and he has not had any contact with the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, if he can stay away from the Gyeonggi area and find it from other places, it is the best, but someone has to find it, and it is too late in time, if you want to get together more than 100 people, then there is no one for a year and a half, it is really difficult to do!" ”
If you want to protect the East Palace, the 100 imperial guards are really not much, this is the bottom number, but the problem is to find a hundred people who can be loyal to Li Chongjiu, this is not easy, don't say that this kind of person is difficult to find, and in the process of finding, Yang Ze will definitely make trouble, things will be more tricky, there are too many variables, it is definitely not an easy thing to do.
Seeing that Wu Youren had no choice, Li Chongjiu was disappointed, suddenly, he saw the bearded strong man on the side, if you want to say loyalty, the loyalty of the bearded strong man is absolutely undoubted, if the imperial guards in the East Palace are like the bearded strong man in the future, then he doesn't have to worry at all, but how did he find this bearded strong man in the first place, Li Chongjiu really can't remember.
Li Chongjiu asked, "Ju'an, how did you get into Gu's manor in the first place?" ”
This fruitful only remaining bearded strong man, named Chi Ju'an, he was introduced by other bearded strong men to enter Li Chongjiu's manor, there was an introducer, at first he was just a banker, specializing in collecting rent for the manor, and then gradually entered Li Chongjiu's sight, and became a personal guard, he said what happened.
Li Chongjiu sighed, he had a vague impression, but he hadn't paid attention to the specific situation at the beginning, and now that he thinks about it, he can't remember it.
Wu Youren listened to it and thought: "The prince's previous manor had a field, although it was the land of the prince's family, but it was not an easy matter to collect rent. Therefore, this person can be recommended to enter the village to collect rent, which not only shows that he can fight, but also shows that he is more reliable! ”
He glanced at Chi Ju'an. Of course, it has been confirmed that he can fight this, this guy is not really good at fighting, but he dares to chase King Yan with a knife, so-so, and he has some courage, after all, it is Yang Ze, the king of Yan, and there are few people who dare to use a knife against Yang Ze.
As soon as Wu Youren thought of this, he heard Li Chongjiu ask, "Ju'an." Do you have any friends who have known each other before, just like you, our East Palace is recruiting people this time, you might as well recommend more friends, as long as they can be like you, don't worry. ”
Wu Youren's mouth moved, he felt that something was wrong, this bearded strong man was quite loyal, but who could guarantee that his friends were also loyal. And if his friends have something to do with the ministers of the court, wouldn't it be bad, you must know that the current court, the ministers are all going to pat Yang Ze's ass. Li Chongjiu's move to the imperial guards is a big deal, Yang Ze will definitely know, as long as there is a slight opportunity to take advantage of it, Yang Ze will never let it go.
But. Wu Youren wanted to refute but couldn't say anything, first, he didn't have the ability to find a large number of reliable people in a short period of time, and second, in front of others. Saying that the person recommended by others is unreliable, isn't that a slap in the face in public, if you want to say that the status in Li Chongjiu's heart, this bearded strong man is definitely higher than him Wu Youren.
With just such a hesitation, things are often out of control, at least no longer under Wu Youren's control.
Chi Ju'an listened to Li Chongjiu's question, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to Your Highness, I used to have a lot of familiar friends, but their status is too low, either they are small traders at home, or they have lost their fields and worked for people for a short time, they are all bitter characters, they don't know the rules, I don't know if they can meet Your Highness's wishes." ”
Wu Youren interjected and asked, "What did you do before?" ”
Chi Ju'an turned his head and said: "The little one used to be a short-term worker, there was no permanent production at home, there was only a broken thatched hut in the corner of the city, and he was often bullied by others, if he hadn't entered His Highness's manor and had a mouthful of Ansheng to eat, he might have starved to death now, how could he still have the opportunity to be loyal to His Highness!" ”
Wu Youren wanted to interject again, but was interrupted by Li Chongjiu, so he didn't ask, he originally wanted to ask Chi Ju'an, what kind of short-term work did he do before?
Li Chongjiu listened to Chi Ju'an's words with deep affection, and his heart was very moved, thinking that only such people would be loyal to themselves if they were rescued from the dire situation by themselves, so people like Chi Ju'an, the more the better, the more they saved, the more people they will be loyal to themselves.
Li Chongjiu said: "Ju'an, you are grateful for your kindness, and you have the chivalrous style of the ancients!" ”
Wu Youren frowned beside him, and he was chivalrous, have you lived in a manor outside the city for a long time, have you ever seen a hero, and these heroes are often outlaws, not all of them are good people, and some even call themselves heroes, but they are actually Jiangyang thieves, but he really can't say this at such a moment.
In fact, Wu Youren felt that something was wrong because he had rich experience in the world, so he could hear that something was wrong, but now is not a good time to refute.
Chi Ju'an is a little scoundrel in Chang'an City, of course he will not be a child of a wealthy family, he who has no money to mix on the street is called a little scoundrel, and those who have money to mix on the street are called a scoundrel, he is a scoundrel and not a scoundrel.
After eating the last meal, it was because Chi Ju'an was good at gambling in the past, and of course he had no money to eat if he lost the gambling, and he was bullied, of course, if he went to eat white food, the owner of the restaurant and the guys did not beat him, but also paid tribute to him, if he owed the money to the casino, the thugs who watched the field, if they could beat him down, they would never let him stand!
Therefore, Chi Ju'an didn't tell a lie, but he didn't say it so clearly, and Li Chongjiu naturally couldn't hear it.
After thinking about it, Li Chongjiu said: "Lone gives you some money, you go home, invite your old friends and friends to eat and drink, observe by the way, see who can use it, and then recommend it to Lone, the more people like this, the better, now we are in need of manpower." ”
Wu Youren really couldn't bear it, this kind of recruitment method is too child's play, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has no experience in dealing with people, and he actually came up with such a bad trick, and he has to remind him anyway.
But without waiting for him to refute, he saw Chi Ju'an crying and said with a sad face: "Your Highness, the little one can't get out of the palace, we just offended Mrs. Yang, as long as the little one goes out of the palace, well, you don't need to go out of the palace, as long as you get out of the East Palace, the little one is afraid that he will be poisoned immediately and be killed by Mrs. Yang, and the little one will never see His Highness again." ”
Li Chongjiu thought about it, Chi Ju'an was right, now he has such a henchman left, if he is killed by Yang Ze again, he is really reluctant.
So, Li Chongjiu said to Wu Youren: "Wu Shangshu, otherwise, if you see if this will work, let Ju An tell him where he lived before, and then you will go to his friends, you choose it yourself, and you will be absolutely assured." ”
As soon as he asked this, he choked Wu Youren's words back into his stomach, don't care about Chi Ju'an for now, or want to defend himself.
Wu Youren smiled bitterly and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is the secretary of the ministry, and his every move will attract attention, if the minister personally goes to the Chi guard's house to recruit his former friends, then I am afraid that this matter will immediately let Yang Taiwei know, if he sends someone to obstruct and ruin the lives of the Chi guard's friends, wouldn't it be even worse." ”
Li Chongjiu sighed, thought about it, Wu Youren was right, but Chi Ju'an was also good, so what should I do, is it possible to become a prince by himself, and if he wants to do something, is it so difficult? That Yang Ze really hurt himself, and he was about to push himself to a dead end.
When he was in a dilemma, a little eunuch outside ran in quickly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, just now the emperor passed by the East Palace with a step......
"Ah, my father is passing by the East Palace?" Li Chongjiu was stunned for a moment, is there any mistake, his East Palace is of course in the easternmost part of the palace, as long as his father is not out of the palace, then he will definitely not pass by, so he must have come to the East Palace to find him something, how could it just be passing by?
Wu Youren reacted quickly and said, "Since the emperor is just passing by, there must be something to pass on to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right?" ”
He estimated that Emperor Li Yan must be dissatisfied with Li Chongjiu and wanted to reprimand Li Chongjiu, but with Li Yan's character, he was afraid that he was unwilling to reprimand Li Chongjiu in person, so he found an excuse, saying that he was passing by, and then asked someone to pass a message to Li Chongjiu, and the reprimand made the little eunuch say that the father and emperor are still loving fathers, and it is not good to say that his son is not good to his face.
Of course, it must be a reprimand, if it sounds good, then why not say it to your face, and the emperor has to pass by, indicating that the queen is still forced to come, otherwise there is nothing to pass by the East Palace, what a big detour!
Wu Youren really didn't expect it wrong, Li Yan should have arrived a long time ago, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not good to reprimand his son in person, so he hesitated for a long time, but if he didn't reprimand his son, he didn't dare to go back and explain to the queen, for fear that the queen would scold him, as a husband and father with a weak personality, it was really difficult for him to do.
So, he came up with such a method, passed by, said that he had really been here, and then reprimanded others to say it, which was exactly the same as Wu Youren's guess.
Li Chongjiu looked at the little eunuch who reported the news and asked, "Father, does the emperor have something to say to Guting?" ”
The little eunuch hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, but the emperor sent someone to wait outside, it was that person who had something to say to His Royal Highness the Prince!" (To be continued......) R1292
