Chapter 586 The Frightened Li Chongju
In the early morning, there are two rows on the left and right of Wude's yamen hall, and more than [-] officials in black and eagle robes are waiting here. From the deputy envoy Zhou Can down, the heads of the departments, the inspectors, and the commanders of the two battalions are all present. .For a while, Wu Desi didn't get together so early in the morning, just to welcome the newly appointed Wu De Envoy.

"Report to the envoy, all the generals and officials in the Beijing Yamen are here!" After the personnel check, the clerk reported to Li Chongju.

Li Chongju arrived at the Si Ya early in the morning, and sat there for half an hour after the court case, holding a copy of the Wu De Department's establishment plan in his hand, as well as the corresponding officials in charge.

Hearing this, he lightly waved his hand, looked around, and said in a constant voice: "Everyone, I am grateful to Your Majesty for entrusting me with the task, and I feel that I have a heavy responsibility. However, the envoy is in charge of the Yasi for the first time, and he is not familiar with the upper and lower affairs. All of you here are officials of the department and have practiced official duties for a long time. From now on, I hope you will give me advice and help me!"

"The envoy's words are serious!" Zhou Can took the lead, saluted Li Chongju and said, "Your subordinates should do their best, and serve as the envoy!"

Nodding his head, Li Chongju said, "Where is the second commander of the Wude Camp?"

"Here!" Two generals in black armor and red tassels stood out.

Li Chongju glanced at the two, and said: "This envoy was born in the army, and he is a soldier. The two of you return to the camp and call your subordinates. I will inspect it myself in the afternoon!"

"Follow the order!"

After the Taoist order was issued, Li Chongju waved his hand again and said, "The rest of the staff should return to their own duties and prepare for internal affairs in case of consultation. Deputy Envoy Zhou stays, and the rest of them should step down!"

Everyone came out in a file, and the room suddenly became deserted. Seeing Zhou Can who was still standing, he stretched out his hand and smiled, "Deputy Envoy Zhou, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

Zhou Can's expression was calm, and he maintained an neither humble nor overbearing attitude towards this new boss.Li Chongju didn't care about this, put away the album, and said: "Wu De's training has undergone an accident, and people's hearts are not stable. I hope Deputy Envoy Zhou will help me to appease him!"

Zhou Can looked at Li Chongju, and replied: "The envoy has a reputation for generosity and is respected by others. Now I owe His Majesty's trust to come here, and everyone will be at ease."

Li Chongju glanced at this man, who was born as a civil servant, but not as weak as a scholar. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Wen Zhou's Deputy Envoy is talented and well-versed in wisdom. In the future, if there are any doubts, I hope to clarify them!" "

"My servant, I will do my best and dare not neglect!" Zhou Can replied.

I could feel the unfamiliarity, and after a little consideration, Li Chongju also put away his thoughts on going deeper, smiled lightly, and instructed him: "Let's make a copy of the recent urgent matters in the yamen!"

"Yes! This subordinate retire!"

"Deputy Envoy, how are you?" Zhou Can came out and returned to his official case. Immediately, a marriage officer came up and asked in a low voice.

"How about what?" Zhou Can asked.

The marriage officer pointed in one direction and said, "Sis Li!"

"Since the case is well documented, Secretary Li has a gentle temperament, self-denial and dedication to his duties. It's great to have such a boss!" Zhou Can said lightly.

"Deputy envoy, don't joke!"

"Do I seem to be joking?" Zhou Can looked at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Lowering his voice, the relative said: "During the period after the death of the prince, you have been in charge of the affairs. I thought you would succeed Dianchi, but His Majesty sent this envoy Li. He is a general, and he can master this way. , how can you take care of such a big Wu Desi?"

"In the Cai hall, Secretary Li gave orders calmly and calmly, not a bit unfamiliar!" Zhou Can said: "Wu Desi, it's not something that just one person can be in charge of!"

The marriage officer sighed and said in a low voice, "I just feel sorry for the deputy envoy!"

Zhou Can smiled lightly: "I don't have any regrets, what do you regret?"

Facing Zhou Can's eyes, the marriage officer lowered his eyes and lowered his voice: "When the prince was in power, he suppressed the subordinates of the Duke of Shou for three to two months. Now that the prince is killed, a Li Sishi is here, and we are all princes." The old department, being promoted by him alone, I'm afraid"

Hearing what he said, he tilted his head and glanced at him, and there seemed to be a frightening energy in his small eyes, which silenced him.Zhou Can said: "You have the leisure to make wild guesses here. Why don't you go back and sort out the affairs in hand for consultation. If you can't answer Li Sishi's question or make him dissatisfied, then maybe you are really being liquidated. List!"

"It's nothing, let's go to work, I still have to sort out the recent affairs here, Li Sishi's side, just wait and see."

"All the files and registration files of the Wu De Department are here?" The registration room is heavily guarded. Accompanied by the chief, Li Chongju observed the layout. There are rows of files, classified and placed neatly.

"Exactly!" The chief replied: "All the cases handled by Wu Desi, the intelligence and secret files inside and outside Tokyo are all here! File and view at a secret level!"

"The envoy, is there any limit?" Li Chongju looked at the master.

"The envoy is the chief officer, so I'll let you see it!" The chief replied humbly, pointing to a case room, and said: "But only the envoy in the yamen is qualified to inspect the books and files inside!"

Li Chongju nodded and waved his hands: "You step back! Let me see for myself!"

"Yes!"

Li Chongju entered and scanned all around. Inside and outside, military and government, Daozhou, government and people, all kinds of intelligence information and files were covered, which dazzled Li Chongju.

Among the military archives, Li Chongju took out a copy about the Inner Palace Zhijun, and only flipped through it a little, his pupils shrunk. His feelings, including his daily words and deeds of Li Chongju, have been recorded.
His expression became serious gradually. Even with a glimpse, Li Chongju could feel the horror of Wu Desi, and only then did he really know what kind of beast it was.

The more he thought about it, the paler his face became.

"Your Majesty, Martial Virtue Envoy Li Chongju seeks an audience!"

"Xuan!"

In the hall, looking at Li Chongju approaching with a solemn expression, Liu Chengyou smiled lightly and said: "The rules are here, Wude Siwu, how well you manage it, but you can still get used to it. What is the important thing to do when you enter the palace this time?"

Hearing this, Li Chongju showed a struggling look on his face, and then he bowed down and knocked his head on the ground: "I want to report to your Majesty, the minister inspector is terrified and feels incompetent, please Your Majesty choose another talent!"

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou was slightly surprised, and said, "Why is this? What is it that makes you so terrified?"

Lowering his head, feeling the coolness of the ground, Li Chongju organized his words a little bit, and said: "Your Majesty, the Wu De Division monitors the world, and it involves the military, military and government. It is secret, and it is beyond the control of human officials. If you want to Tuofei people are prone to military and political chaos, unrest in the government and the public, and this is the source of disaster."

Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou came to his senses, blinked his eyes, and looked at him playfully: "Have you seen Si Dang?"

"I've seen it!" Li Chongju replied honestly, still keeping his head buried.

Standing up, walking in front of Li Chongju, looking down at him, said: "Code, you can take the initiative to find me to resign, and you can realize its importance. I am very satisfied. In this way, I feel more and more that it is right for you to be in charge. decision!"

Looking up at Liu Chengyou, but seeing the calm face of the emperor, Li Chongju said: "Your Majesty, I—"

Liu Chengyou stretched out his hand to stop him, and said leisurely: "I can basically understand what you are worrying about. Come to think of it, you now understand what kind of existence Wu Desi is. It is for me to defend against enemies outside and avoid disasters inside. A heavy weapon. With it, I can calmly govern the country and control the soldiers!"

"It's not enough for me to speak heart-to-heart with you. Since the middle Tang Dynasty, the imperial power has declined, and the government has been difficult to maintain. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, since the three generations, there have been years of wars, the world has collapsed, and the dignity of the emperor has been suppressed by the strong soldiers and horses. Contempt and trampling. This is all due to the decline of imperial power and the failure of the monarchy.

If I want to level the world, clarify the universe, and bring the country back under the Han system, I must rejuvenate the imperial power.And Wu Desi is a sharp weapon to consolidate the imperial power!Do you understand? "

Hearing Liu Chengyou's words from the bottom of his heart, Li Chongju's face was still tense, his nervousness remained unabated, and his fear grew stronger.

Seeing his performance, Liu Chengyou was short, and helped him up with his own hands, saying: "The most important thing is to be a military commander, and you must entrust him with trustworthy ministers. When Wang Jingchong was in office, there were often things that violated the law, causing public opinion to surge. There are many opinions. I use you because I want you to restrain me, rectify the atmosphere, optimize it, and become a more reliable national weapon. Since you can realize some of the disadvantages, then I also believe that you are enough to obey me. The original intention, take on this responsibility!"

Patting Li Chongju on the shoulder, Liu Chengyou stared at his eyes and said: "There must be someone who takes this responsibility for me. I want to share my worries with you, how can you refuse?"

Under Liu Chengyou's gaze, Li Chongju sighed and bowed to the end: "Your Majesty has said so far, how dare I try to avoid it!"

"Okay! I believe that you will not let me down!" Liu Chengyou smiled: "Do it well!"

"Yes!"

Li Chongju resigned, Liu Chengyou looked at his back, his smile gradually subsided, his eyes were still bright, but their eyes became deeper and deeper.

"Those who are as cautious and courteous as Li Shouze, I should rest assured." In the palace, Liu Chengyou's tone could not tell whether it was affirmation or doubt.

On Li Chongju's side, he came out of the Chongzheng Hall. Looking up, the winter light seemed extremely dull, but a bit dazzling.He let out a long breath, and Li Chongju couldn't help feeling bitter. In fact, he also knew in his heart that when he sat in the Wude Si Yatang, it would not be so easy to get rid of it.
