The curfew system has existed since ancient times. It was implemented during wars, disasters or in important political and economic areas. The curfew system strictly implemented since the Sui and Tang Dynasties ensured the stability of the capital, but at the same time it also severely suppressed commercial development.
Now that the curfew has been banned in Chang'an, business has exploded in Chang'an at night, and the long-suppressed emotions of the people of Chang'an can be relieved in the city's night.
The external situation is that the whole city is almost brightly lit before midnight, and even after midnight there are many shops, restaurants, and brothels open all night long, with busy traffic... The entire Jinchangfang is filled with water, and the people watching the excitement take the opportunity to sell.
Shopkeepers, indignant tourists, anxious government servants... gathered around in circles from the gate of Jinchang Square to the mountain gate of Daci'en Temple.
In addition, the temple was full of incense and the bells were ringing, making it a chaotic mess.
It wasn't until groups of soldiers with helmets and armor trotted into the square gate in unison, and the heavy footsteps seemed to be stepping heavily on everyone's hearts, that the chaotic scene became slightly quieter, and the crowd on the periphery got out of the way. Cen Changqian took the lead and shouted loudly.
He scolded: "How can we allow people to gather and cause trouble in this important place in the capital? All the thieves who attacked the Jingzhao Mansion last night are now in jail awaiting trial. Do you still want to follow suit and attack the Daci'en Temple again? Irrelevant people are in good order.
They evacuated Jinchangfang in an orderly manner, and after burning incense, the entire Jinchangfang was put under martial law, and all the idlers, no matter what their identity, were arrested and imprisoned!"
The soldiers behind them dispersed in units of "cohorts" and stepped forward to disperse the crowd. Many people were reluctant to leave at first, holding their necks and pushing and shoving the soldiers, swearing and swearing based on their status. People reminded that this was Fang Jun's current restraint.
The commanding troops were suddenly as quiet as ice with fear, hunched their necks and ran as fast as they could.
quick.
A "stick" that dares to beat even princes and ministers would care about your identity?
Wannian County Magistrate Laiji walked over quickly and wiped the sweat from his face. He didn't care that his official uniform was soaked with sweat. He raised his hand and saluted: "Thank you Cen Changshi for maintaining order. If you had come a little later, I'm afraid there would be a big accident."
trouble!"
Cen Changqian did not dare to ask for help, so she dismounted and returned the salute: "The commander-in-chief will come with his troops as soon as he receives the urgent news. If you have anything to say, go and report it to him."
"Okay, okay, I'm going to see the commander right now."
He hurried towards Fang Jun who was behind him, and bowed and saluted from afar: "My official Wannian County Magistrate came to Ji, and I have met the Duke of Yue." Fang Jun didn't even look at him, and kept his horse in front of him.
He walked past and said to Cen Changqian: "I went to the temple to talk to old friends. You take over the command here, find out the cause of the matter, and deal with it seriously and quickly in accordance with the law. You must not
You must not bend the law for favoritism. No matter who is involved, we will treat everyone equally and will never tolerate it. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be severely punished without mercy."
"Here!" Watching Fang Jun dismount in front of the temple gate and being led into the temple by the monks, Laiji sighed in distress. From now on, he was probably going to give this person a bad impression of being "unable to do anything".
And as long as this person doesn't die suddenly due to illness,
It is almost certain that he will be in power in the Central Committee for at least thirty or even fifty years, which means that his future will be gloomy.
Cen Changqian smiled apologetically: "Please come to the county magistrate and hand over the Wannian County Yamen servants to my command. The Zuojinwu guards will take over the affairs here. You may go back to your home to rest." Lai Ji shook his head and sighed: "Since you have done something wrong.
It is necessary to make amends, even if the impression cannot be restored, we should try our best. If we retreat at this time, how can we be qualified as a county magistrate? The chief historian only gives orders, and he will obey everything.
"
The reason for avoiding Ma Zhou was because he didn't want to get involved in those political disputes, but now if he shirks because of the cold reception, he will not be able to do anything. The two are completely different.
Cen Changqian comforted him: "The Marshal is always impartial and impartial when handling official duties. Don't take it to heart. Come back and go to the house to admit your mistake and have a glass of wine. It will probably be fine. The Marshal has a broad mind."
"Now that the matter has come to this, what can I do? Please give me your instructions, Chief Cen, and I will fully cooperate with you."
"What is the reason for the commotion here?" "The reason is that a young woman came with her family to Daci'en Temple to offer incense and play. There were many tourists and monks in the temple. In the bustling crowd, she was frivolously molested and screamed.
His family members looked around for him, but the crowd was so crowded at the time that they had no idea who was doing it. So his family members grabbed all the people nearby and tried to identify them one by one. Among them, there happened to be a few passing monks, which were closely related to the reputation of the monks.
Naturally she disagreed, so the woman
He insisted that the monk was guilty of being a thief, so the two sides confronted each other and caused a riot."
It is normal for monks to disagree with the identification and screening. Once the screening begins, it will give people a "suspicious" impression regardless of whether it is done or not. Moreover, it is in one's own monastery, so naturally they will not agree.
From this point of view, if the woman clings on to her without any basis, she is inevitably suspected of being a spoiler...
"Where are the woman and her family?"
"I've sent people to keep a close watch on the building next to the square gate."
"Where is the suspected monk?"
"Being forcefully brought back to the temple by the monks of Da Ci'en Temple was also one of the reasons for the conflict. Everyone present at the time thought that Da Ci'en Temple was suspected of favoring the monks of this temple." Cen Changqian frowned, a little puzzled: "Although I have never
I have dealt with the county magistrate, but the reputation of the county magistrate has long been known to my ears. Under your governance, there have been no grievances in the county for ten thousand years, and no cases have been committed. How can such a small case be ignored?
The trial is not clear?" Laiji smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I can't hear the trial clearly, but that there is no way to hear the trial at all. The woman hid in the house and was not seen by outsiders. She said it was damaging to her reputation. The monk was taken back to the temple regardless of his status.
No matter how much the official tried to persuade him, he still couldn’t see anyone.
How can we interrogate it if we can’t see both sides?”
Cen Changqian understood: "Is someone taking the opportunity to stir up trouble?" A small case is irrelevant. Since both parties are unwilling to come forward, it means that mediation is entirely possible. However, the riots have not stopped for a long time and have even become more intense. Someone must be secretly fanning the flames.
To stir up public opinion and make Yue
More and more people gathered here and stayed here for a long time.
"That's how it should be."
"Is there anyone who has any doubts?"
"Yes, it is said that it is a caravan, and it has taken refuge in the Wei family mansion on the north east side of the cross street."
Cen Changqian frowned: "Which Wei family?"
Lai Ji said: "Jingzhao Wei, male from Shouguang County, Wei Wan."
After thinking about it, Cen Changqian knew who it was.
His grandfather was Da Sikong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wei Xiaokuan of Shangzhu Kingdom, his father was Wei Jin, the Duke of Wuyang County in the Sui Dynasty, and Wei Wan, the current governor of Chengzhou. His niece was the concubine Wei who gave birth to Emperor Taizong, Prince Ji Li Shen and Princess Linchuan...
A direct descendant of Jingzhao Wei. Cen Changqian glanced at Lai Ji and understood in her heart that although he was young, he had a rich family background and was extremely familiar with the past of the people in the court. Lai Ji's father, Lai Huer, was able to accompany Emperor Yang of Sui to pacify Jiangnan.
Destroy Nanchen and establish a great cause
It was precisely because Wei Xiaokuan, Wei Xiaokuan's eldest son and Wei Guifei's father, Wei Yuancheng, recommended him to Yang Su.
No wonder they would rather sit back and watch the commotion and go to plead with Fang Jun instead of rushing into the Wei family and taking the people out for interrogation. Although the Lai family has been in decline for many years, it has never forgotten the kindness of acquaintances in the past...
Cen Changqian said: "So you should go back home and rest. Since you are still thinking about the old friendship, just retreat and leave this matter to me."
Unexpectedly, Lai Ji shook his head: "Before, I cared about friendship and didn't want to go into the Wei family to get people. Now I care about friendship so I can't avoid it." The young man in front of him has a family background and has inherited Cen Wenwen's political legacy. Naturally, he is full of enthusiasm.
Ambition, and fell under the command of Fang Jun in the academy, with a deep background and solid roots. It is the time when a newborn calf is so heroic, and every moment
They all want to do some big things that will make Chang'an famous in order to accumulate prestige. Now that they have the opportunity to challenge Jingzhao Wei, how can they give up? Since they are thinking about their past friendship, they can't let Cen Changqian go to the Wei family to get people. Once the Wei family
There was a conflict in the words. Maybe this kid would dare to send troops into the house and trample Jingzhao Weishi under his feet as his stepping stone...
... Cen Changqian was noncommittal, nodded and said: "Since the county magistrate insists on this, I naturally want to be a man of beauty. I will bring him out in half an hour. I will go to the temple and bring out the monks, and then you will interrogate them. Complete
End this matter."
Laiji turned around in shock and looked at the majestic gate of the Great Ci'en Temple: "This is the Great Ci'en Temple. Do you dare to go in and take people there?"
"Do you think the commander-in-chief is really going to drink tea? He just sits in the hall of Master Xuanzang and doesn't say anything. Do you think anyone in the Daci'en Temple dares to stop me?"
Laiji was speechless: "It's just a small case, why is it like this?"
That's the Da Ci'en Temple, that's Xuanzang! Cen Changqian shook his head, with a serious face: "Do you really think this is a small case? Maybe, I hope there is no one behind the scenes who took the opportunity to provoke the commotion in the Da Ci'en Temple. If you hadn't made a decisive decision,
The source of the riot has been cut off, believe it or not
Now the whole Jinchangfang is in chaos, and there may even be one or two cases of stampede to death?"
Lai Ji was startled, and the sweat that he had just poured out suddenly broke out.
Cen Changqian smiled warmly: "Don't worry, he will stop us from getting into huge trouble under the commander-in-chief, so just go about your business with peace of mind."
Laiji: "..."
When did I join Fang Jun's command?
She was just about to tell that her position was "loyal to the emperor" and she was completely on His Majesty's side. She didn't want to recognize any big boss in the court as her backer, but Cen Changqian was already walking towards the mountain gate of Daci'en Temple...
Laiji felt depressed for a moment, sighed helplessly, turned around and took the yamen servant straight to Wei's house.
... Junzheng and Xuanzang were sitting opposite each other in the main hall of the Sutra Translation Academy. The most famous eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty had a depressed look on his face, and his Buddhist heart, which had been forged through years of hard work, was shaken.
No fight, in a quiet place
After understanding the true meaning of Buddhism, the world is peaceful, the body is peaceful, and the mind is peaceful. However, the result is that there are endless disturbances and annoyances. What can I do?" The eminent monks and great sages who are familiar with the Buddhist classics in the world rarely "Buddha's words" and usually speak.
He doesn't pretend to be profound. When dealing with an old acquaintance like Fang Jun, he is like an ordinary old monk. He complains when he is dissatisfied in his heart and doesn't care about the demeanor of a high monk.
