"Don't you three need to go patrolling the camp tonight?" It was already time to light the lamp. Li Zhaoliang, Li Zhaoxun, and Zhang Huan were still staying in Han Qing's house, chatting, showing no intention of leaving.
Han Qing was so upset by the crowd's fuss that he couldn't help but chase away the guests. However, the Li brothers and Zhang Huan, without realizing it, cautiously looked out the window a few times, then said with a smile: "No, the three of us
They all took leave from my father and have been following you these past few days so that you can learn more skills before you take office!"
"Brother Han Shi, I'll tell you the truth. Since I can remember, I have only heard of Kou Laoxi'er letting others suffer. He was able to bargain with Kou Laoxi'er and finally got an advantage. You are the first!"
"Zhang just heard someone say that you were bargaining with Kou Shenzheng, and I was almost scared to death. Tonight, no matter what, I have to sit here for a while longer to gain courage."
"He wants to use me as a bait. Isn't it normal for me to take the opportunity to give myself some benefits?" Han Qing was also familiar with the three brothers, so he told his thoughts frankly, "It can't be done, because he is a bandit.
If you want to participate in politics, I must agree to whatever you ask me to do. I didn’t owe him any favors before."
"Okay, okay, just with these few words, Zhang will be convinced by you from now on!" Zhang Huan heard this and immediately handed over his hands in admiration, "I would have been you instead. When the prime minister said that I could be useful, why don't you?
Even if he asks me to do it for the county magistrate in disguise, I will never frown."
"So you are destined to be incomparable to Brother Han Shi!" Li Zhaoxun smiled and pushed him, then interjected in a low voice, "Whether you are dealing with the political affairs of the current dynasty or the old guard guarding the door, your attitude is exactly the same."
"Grandpa said, just because of this magnanimity, it is worthy for us brothers to learn more from you. See the wise and think of each other..."
"Okay, stop flattering me. If you really want to meet Xian Siqi, the three of you can come with me to ask about the prison department!" Han Qing rolled his eyes, interrupted the other party, and extended an invitation to the three of them.
"Logically, if you are to be the judge of the Sentencing Department, we brothers should help you!" Li Zhaoliang immediately put away his smile and explained solemnly, "However, now that we are gone, Grandpa will be short of helpers. In addition,
After all, the current positions of our brothers are too high. If we really go to yours, it will reduce the weight of your words! "
"Although we are brothers fighting each other, it is not suitable for us brothers to go to your place. In addition, when you build your own team, you should let the other party rise up, not down. Otherwise, over time, everyone will inevitably lose their jobs.
patience!"
"Zhang means the same thing. I want to help you, but it's not suitable to go there. However, you can choose any of the brothers under Zhang's command. Especially Wu Er, who has received your life-saving grace in the past. If you bring him over, they will definitely do a good job.
He will do his best and his skills are sufficient.”
The three people said different things, but the meanings expressed were not much different. It was not convenient for me to go to help, but I could recommend suitable candidates.
With Han Qing's experience, how could he not understand that what the three of them said was from the bottom of their hearts.
He suddenly gained a high position, and the enemies he needed to deal with were deeply hidden. Therefore, he had to establish absolute authority in the Criminal Division to facilitate his work.
The original official positions of brothers Li Zhaoliang and Li Zhaoxun were higher than his, the sentencing judge. Even if the two brothers were willing to be demoted to serve under him, they could not be demoted too much.
In this way, there are three superiors in the Criminal Division. No matter how close they are to each other, it is difficult to prevent the subordinates from taking advantage of each other and trying to get closer to one of them.
In this way, over time, conflicts will inevitably arise between brothers, which will damage their friendship. It is better not to get together in the first place.
This principle also applies to Zhang Huan.
Although Zhang Huan was only a captain, he was deeply appreciated by Li Jihe and his future in the Zhenrong Army was bright.
If he really went to Yongxing Military Road to serve in the Criminal Division, his future might not be as good as in the military, and it would be difficult for Han Qing to arrange his position.
"What the three of them said makes sense!" Since he knew that what the three of them said was from the bottom of their hearts, Han Qing did not beat around the bush, bowed his hands to Li Zhaoliang, Li Zhaoxun, and Zhang Huan, and asked with a smile, "But please tell me how to recruit more people.
Three more people can help me. To be honest, although I felt guilty when I was bargaining with Kou Xiang, now that the price has really gone up, I feel very guilty. If I can’t find the right person to help me, I’m sorry.
If he fails to live up to the expectations of Kou Zhun and Li Dujian, it is hard to say whether he can save his own life."
"We can't go, but you can choose any of the tribesmen who followed us to listen in some time ago."
"I will give you a copy of their positions in the military. You try to pick them up from those with lower official positions. In this way, when they go to the Criminal Division, they will be promoted. They will still miss you in their hearts."
"As the saying goes, brothers fight with each other. Although your Han family is not prosperous, there must be some relatives in your family who have not yet left office. Or there may be some mature and prudent people around your elders who can come and help you. At this time, you can't think about it anymore.
Why don't you avoid suspicion? Hurry up and write a letter to ask your grandfather for help."
"Dutou Wuer has received your life-saving grace and has never forgotten it. In addition, Dutou Zhou Yong and Shao Jun were injured some time ago and are not suitable for fighting again. The three of them will be your confidants. Capture one
A mountain bandit can definitely be caught faster and more effectively than an ordinary bandit."
…
The reason why Li Zhaoliang, Li Zhaoxun, and Zhang Huan stayed in his room and refused to leave was that they originally planned to find a way out for their own people. Therefore, they did not be polite to him and started making a list directly.
However, the most critical positions were all left vacant, leaving it to Han Qing to control himself.
In addition, although the court's arrangement was to pull out the Department of Punishments and Prisons from under the Department of Transportation and start a new one. However, the Department of Punishments had been separated and merged with the Department of Transportation several times before, so it cannot be completely regarded as a new yamen.
.There were originally some officials in charge of prisons, but Han Qing could not kick them away.
Therefore, the Li brothers and Zhang Huan had to plan for Han Qing how to remove these officials decently so that they would neither lose their official positions nor interfere with the daily operations of the new team.
In this way, while busy and discussing at the same time, the three brothers worked until the end of the year before finally helping Han Qing come up with a general framework.
In order to prevent Han Qing from encountering danger after going to the Punishment Division, Li Zhaoliang simply decided to send more than 100 veterans who had been injured in battle but did not suffer any disabilities to Yongxing Jun Road to the Punishment Division.
, acting as the lowest level catcher and archer.
In this way, even if someone takes a desperate risk when Han Qing's head is found, it will be difficult to kill Han Qing for a while.
When the Zhenrong Army returned to Bianliang, they would definitely leave some soldiers stationed in the camp in Jingzhao Mansion in the name of stabilizing the place after the war, ready to be called upon by Kou Zhun at any time.
In this way, as long as the veterans can guarantee that the Prison Department's Yamen will be attacked within an hour, the officers and soldiers of the Suppressing Army will be able to rush there on horseback and catch all those who take risks!
"Don't be too busy taking office now. When Prime Minister Kou returns to Jingzhao Mansion, you go with him. He comes with the court's arrangements. He has some considerations in mind about how the Prison Department should operate. You can go with him along the way.
You will never go wrong if you ask him for advice!" Seeing that Dou Sha had already brought his servants in to refill everyone's tea four times and was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyelids, Li Zhaoliang was unwilling to delay Han Qing's celebration with his family any longer.
, smiled and dropped an instruction, led Li Zhaoxun and Zhang Huan to say goodbye.
When they returned to the temporary camp set up by the Zhenrong Army in Qingzhou, it was already midnight. Zhang Huan could go back to his room to rest. However, the two Li brothers endured their exhaustion and came to their elders, the military and horse supervisor Li
In front of Jihe.
"How's it going? Is the Han boy as good as I expected?" After waiting all night, the old fox immediately put down the tea when he saw his nephew and son, and asked with a serious face.
"That's right at all. He is even more mature and prudent than you expected. He is not complacent at all." Li Zhaoliang thought for a while and responded with admiration, "It even gave me the feeling that he was more cautious than when he joined the army."
"Brother Han Shi accepted all the help we provided him. He also accepted all the other suggestions!" Li Zhaoxun, who was slightly younger, responded in a low voice with a bit of dissatisfaction. "But I feel very embarrassed in my heart, as if
It's like stealing his stuff."
"Did he show any impatience?" Li Jihe glanced at his son and asked with a smile.
"No!" Li Zhaoxun responded honestly without even thinking, "That's why I feel even more uncomfortable. He clearly regards us as brothers..."
"When you provide him with manpower, it's not because you don't treat him as a brother." Li Jihe raised his hand and gave his son a sharp blow, interrupting in a low voice, "But you are sincerely helping him. As long as you don't look for him casually in the future.
For him, those tribesmen helping you do things are not just a random arrangement of personal affairs."
Knowing that his son didn't understand, he paused and continued to add, "His grandfather and I are friends from the older generation. Even if we are willing to continue our friendship from generation to generation, it will be greatly reduced when it comes to your generation.
.And the friendship between you and Han Qing is a new generation. He doesn't care about accepting our nephews from the Li family, which shows that the Han family and the Li family can still advance and retreat together in your generation. And what you need to do next
It's not about getting rid of each other, but it's about helping him take the first step steadily and bringing the relationship closer and closer!"
"Don't worry that doing this will hurt the previous relationship between each other. He knows better about this than you." After another pause, the old general continued to add, his face that was no longer young was filled with relief, "
I was originally worried that each generation of our generals would produce either simple warriors or playboys, and the road ahead would definitely be difficult! Now there is finally someone who is scheming enough and knows how to repay his kindness. You guys
After becoming a brother with him, I feel a lot more at ease. Okay, go to bed, I have to write a letter to Han Chonggui to talk about the future!"
After that, he carried Li Zhaoliang and Li Zhaoxun out of the study one by one with one hand. Then he closed the door and laughed loudly!
