Chapter 659: No military power

Although none of the countries announced it to the outside world, they did implement it. They believed that only in this way could they protect their country. Compared with the entire country, the happiness of one or two women was not important. As long as Li You did not cause trouble, what if we sent two more?

According to Niu Jinda's idea, we should make some more excessive demands. What's the point of just asking for women and money? But King Qi Li You only has this hobby. However, he also agreed with Niu Jinda that one third of the gold, silver and treasures in the car behind belong to the King Qi's Mansion, one third belong to the northwest military camp, and the remaining one third belong to the escorting soldiers.

Niu Jinda did not say anything about the distribution ratio of Prince Li You of Qi. He just told him that everything must wait for the Crown Prince to come and distribute it. This is also the rule in the military camp. If anyone breaks this rule, he will be beheaded immediately.

King Li You of Qi also sent people to do some small tricks on the way, which was to bribe these people in the army. Of course, he knew how his father started his career and how Li Xiang rose to power. That was because these people had armies in their hands. If you didn't have an army in your hands, no matter what you said, it would be useless and no one would listen to you.

He was quite generous, and he always gave hundreds of strings of cash to the soldiers guarding him. However, the result surprised him. These people simply refused to accept the money. When he took out the money, they just stood there with a blank expression. This was the atmosphere in the army.

At the beginning, Li Xiang used administrative orders to control these people, but after two years, the atmosphere in the army has been established and their sense of honor has been established. If you bribe them with money, if they even look at you for a second, it would be a blasphemy to their profession.

When it comes to bribing soldiers, Eunuch Han also has his own abilities. When working in the palace, if he cannot maintain a good relationship with the imperial guards outside, he will not be able to do many things. The eunuchs are not allowed to leave the palace, but they have to get in touch with their families outside. Then these imperial guards who leave the palace regularly are good people to convey messages to.

Therefore, a phenomenon that could not be stopped emerged. Li Shimin had issued orders many times, not allowing these guards and eunuchs to make friends, but the charm of money could not be resisted, and some people still got together.

Eunuch Han is considered a leader among them. When these guards are on guard during the day, if you take money and tell them about this matter, he would not dare to accept the money even if you kill him because he is surrounded by his colleagues and superiors. But if you go there late at night when everyone is asleep, 80% of them will accept the money.

Eunuch Han thought he knew this very well, so he took the money out that night. As a result, he went around outside and got back as much money as he took out. No soldier accepted the money.

Li Xiang put a lot of effort into ensuring the cleanliness of the military camp. Some of the people were system soldiers, and Li Xiang scattered these system soldiers in the military camp. When someone accepted bribes from outside, these system soldiers immediately notified Li Xiang, who then notified the law enforcement team of the day and pulled these people out.

Li Xiang promoted a theocratic ideology in the military camp, which was that whoever accepted bribes or did something illegal would be informed by God the next day.

If it were in modern society, someone would immediately say that this was feudal superstition, and no one would believe it, and some people would even go to explore the mystery. But now it is the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, and many people here believe in the existence of gods. Moreover, Li Xiang has been doing so many successful things, and everyone believes that Li Xiang is the chosen son of God, so everyone believes everything he says.

The most important thing is that when someone makes a mistake, Li Xiang can find these people quickly. No matter how secretive they are, Li Xiang will find them in the end.

Some people can hide things for a while, but not forever. If your brothers who sleep in the same tent with you every day want to pay attention to your every move, how can you hide it?

Whenever he discovered such things, Li Xiang would deal with them severely, and would definitely make the person regret it for the rest of his life. Therefore, the soldiers in the barracks had seen so many of them that they no longer thought about these illegal and disorderly things. If they took your money now, they might be beheaded at that time. In order to suppress this evil trend, Li Xiang did a lot of evil things. Fortunately, it was all worth it. Now the whole barracks has this kind of atmosphere. Even if there is no supervision, no one dares to take the money.

So after working for a few days, King Qi Li You was too lazy to do it anymore. Even an old hand like Eunuch Han had no idea where to start, let alone himself. However, he wrote down everything the leaders gave him, and when he returned, he would never let Li Xiang confiscate them directly.

Originally, King Qi Li You had another idea. He brought some palace guards from the palace. These people were not under Li Xiang's control. He thought he could rely on these people to compete with Li Xiang. Who knew that these people would obey Niu Jinda's words. If there was a conflict between the two people's orders, these people would execute Niu Jinda's orders without hesitation.

This made Prince Qi Li You feel that his brain was not enough. After all, he was a prince of the court and Li Shimin's biological son. You people came from the palace. Even if you want to choose a backer, you should not choose Niu Jinda, you should choose me.

But these palace guards did not choose him, and he has not yet figured this out.

If Li Xiang were here, he would probably explain to him that although these people came from the imperial palace, they were originally from the Right Shenwu Army, and many of them were system soldiers infiltrated by Li Xiang, so these people were also considered Li Xiang's men.

Besides, everyone has a brain. You're just an idle prince. Do you really think you have such great power? If you were to clash with Li Xiang in a place like this, you could just find an explanation after he dies. So who would dare to go against Li Xiang? Are you going to kill yourself?
