Later, in Pinghefang inside Yanping Gate, Jiang Tian, who was a publically concealed Lixingyuanwaiyamen on the ground, saw the surrenderer who took the initiative to surrender; but he was a man in his thirties who was slightly taller.
He is a middle-aged man who is thin, has gentle eyes, and has a certain manner of being polite.
It's just that the reason why he came to surrender was not the current matter; it was the incident in the ghost market that happened in Chang'an City more than half a year ago. Therefore, after meeting him, Jiang Tian just raised his chin slightly and waved his hands indifferently.
"Tell me, who sent you here and what's their plan."
"I'm Lu Yanwen, who was also the host of Qilou." The other party seemed to speak without any surprise and said: "It was just a luck that he was not in the building at that time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the chance to see the noble official alive.
. But I don’t know what your noble officials think of these underground activities in Chang’an City?”
"To be honest, all of us are like the smelly mud in the underground ditch." He then laughed at himself without hesitation: "If we can't get fresh running water from outside to wash and cleanse it from time to time, we will eventually have to follow the general public.
A steady stream of filth leaks out and accumulates again little by little."
"So, even if your noble official casually crushes me, a villain who stands in the light, there will still be more profit-seeking villains who will rush to stand out from the filth. And your noble official is the source of living water introduced by the imperial court.
; This is due to the natural position, and it is out of righteousness rather than personal enmity."
"Therefore, the villain has gone to great lengths to beg, and now he just wants to ask your official for a promise. I don't dare to expect that your department can change its ways, but I just hope that I won't be deliberately targeted. Of course, if the offense is committed by your department,
As long as the hand is caused by the king's law, whatever should be done is the right thing to do."
"After all, those who are involved in the animal disaster have not only ruined the underground business for so many years, but also ruined the rules and reputation accumulated over the years. They have also made it impossible for people to go out for fun and entertainment with peace of mind. They have also cut off many people's means of making money. Therefore, from now on,
In terms of personal power, I should be at odds with him, and I am more willing to cooperate with the officials."
"In addition, I will not hide it from you, but the daily style of people in Qilou is not the same as that of Fanlou. Whether you believe it or not, as a member of the entertainment industry, the most taboo is to cause death.
, or openly violent methods; that will only spoil the mood of the patrons who come to have fun."
"As for the kidnappers and human-toothed people who are deeply hated by your officials, my subordinates cannot completely ban their contacts because of their livelihoods, nor can they turn them away. But I can have people secretly search for their whereabouts, and I can regularly hand over a batch of directories.
Come on, how about this as an official explanation of how to get to the bottom of it?"
"After all, even if we don't seduce or deliberately induce, there are still people in this world who are greedy for vanity, or have various unavoidable reasons, and actively join this industry every year. This is the likes and dislikes of human nature.
As a result, even if there is good intention in the world, there is nothing that can be done to stop it."
"Of course, compared to Ping Kangli's hands and eyes, we also have a potential convenience, that is, we can also understand and find out a lot about the outsiders and new faces who enter Gyeonggi by extraordinary means. This is
This is the smallest amount of respect that a person of my generation can show to your family."
"That's enough!" When this man talked a lot, Jiang Tian gently raised his hand to interrupt him and said: "Speaking of one thousand and speaking of ten thousand, isn't it just that under the current general trend, I stand behind you?
Those people; they also need to find ways to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so as to avoid getting into trouble or getting hurt, right?"
"In other words, I am even more afraid of the extraordinary means at my disposal, lest they be used on them, so I jump out first, hoping to reach some kind of agreement with the Li Xingyuan." However, Jiang Tian shook his head again and said.
: "After all, even if I don't have the time to find anything to do with you, it doesn't mean I'll give up."
"Then...what does your noble official mean?" Lu Yanwen seemed to have been mentally prepared for this when he heard this. He suddenly asked seriously: "Do you hope that we can pay more sincerity, or at what price?"
, can satisfy your noble officer... Please feel free to show me."
"I heard that under the master of the ghost market, there is also the master of the fifth floor who is on duty in turn, and is the person who controls and maintains the daily life of the ghost market." Jiang Tian then stretched out his palm and said: "I can only solve the problem.
I have a Fan building, and you, the owner of Qi Lou, who doesn’t know whether it is true or not, so I also want the other three building owners themselves and their related people to wait.”
"This... Your Majesty, I'm afraid you are a bit pushy." After hearing this, Lu Yanwen said with an expression of embarrassment without hesitation: "Your Majesty, you don't know that the Chang'an Ghost Market has been around for many years. Although it has been purged by the imperial court, it still remains the same.
It can be destroyed without stopping because all parties are involved; when the fifth floor was built side by side, it was not my side that had the final say."
"This is not a negotiation with you, but an ultimatum." Jiang Tian didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with him anymore, and interrupted coldly; "You are just a messenger who was pushed out, what qualifications do you have?"
Let me bargain! Just give my request back to the people behind you. My verbal promise is not so easy to get."
"One more thing, the underground ghost market is gone and will not exist again for a long time." Then Jiang Tian added word by word: "Even if the other three posters once represented great interests and concerns, but
Now they are just a group of tool people who have lost their use value; you have to make your own decision between them."
After the somewhat lost Lu Yanwen was escorted out, Xin Pingping, who was in charge of recording, couldn't help but said, "Sir, this man is really unscrupulous. He dares to pretend to surrender and come to negotiate. Do you want to arrange it?"
Manpower, follow and pursue them so that we can dig out everything behind them."
"No need, if my prediction is correct, this is just a deserted person thrown out to ask for directions, or a dead soldier who can cut off clues at any time." Jiang Tian shook his head slightly and said: "It is the people who drove him behind the scenes.
It's interesting. Sending him here this time is a sign of weakness, and it's just an attempt to make me relax my vigilance and alertness."
"On the other hand, you may not want to seek a promise from me, that is, you hope that all problems and conflicts that may arise in the future will be resolved within the framework of the national system and court laws." Jiang Tian smiled again: "This
What does it mean? It means they are already afraid, really afraid; they are afraid of the changes in the situation."
"In other words, compared to the sanctions and punishments from national laws, what they are more afraid of is the extraordinary power represented by the sudden appearance of the Night God in the ghost market incident." Jiang Tian looked at Xin Pinggong again and said: "
Therefore, they also need a headquarters that also has great power and can maintain the system they live in."
"And this is the meaning of what we are doing!" Jiang Tian finally concluded to everyone present: "While combating beast disasters and suppressing mutations, we are also protecting those good people who keep their own laws, and at the same time deterring and containing
There are many potential evils; even the bad customs and abuses within the imperial system must be feared."
However, it seemed to indirectly confirm Jiang Tian's remarks. On the next day, the imperial court suddenly issued an edict, announcing a collective campaign against the newly established Xijingli Xingyuan/Anxing Yushi Department, the upper and lower ranks, etc.
Rewards for meritorious service are given; and the awards are personally awarded by a censor of the General Judgment Court.
Thanks to the legacy of the senior time traveler, a mature system of merit awards and honors has been left to the present generation. Therefore, although the supervisors did not have any promotions this time, they also had their own
Received different commendation orders, as well as subsequent monetary and honorary rewards.
Among them, medals/ranks are usually divided into three major categories/ranks: gold, silver, and bronze. There are also two major divisions of civil and military, which are compared with the original fifty-two ranks of civil and military casual officials; and then the specific departments are assigned characteristics.
and properties, resulting in hundreds of varieties of all kinds.
Among them, the award of the Bronze Medal is relatively broad. As long as the army has participated in collective military exploits such as storming the city; served in the border area for more than a certain number of years, or has done good deeds in the local area for a long time and donated a certain amount to the court,
They can all be applied for by the military prefecture where they are located.
And compared with the treatment of knighthood, which can only be enjoyed for one generation, this kind of bronze medal can be passed down to the family for several generations; it may even become a potential priority bonus for future generations when they join the army or enter the official career.
The most common ones in the system are various silver medals; from small silver medals to commend hard work, to large silver medals for achieving major achievements or outstanding contributions in certain fields; and these are also the large number of those within the system.
Officials are one of the ultimate pursuits to cross the identity threshold.
However, the relative examination and verification are much stricter than the bronze medal. The civil and military departments are composed of the Xunbao Department regularly formed by the Ministry of Rites, and the Si Xun Yuan under the jurisdiction of the General Counselor's Office. Only in accordance with the jurisdiction of the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors
At the request of specific departments, a number of awards will be made as appropriate according to the quota.
Then there is the relatively rare seventh-level gold medal/honour, which is a high honor that can only be awarded after being directly reviewed by the Political Hall and the Privy Council. It is also what most people in the court dream of at the end of their career and their lifelong achievements.
Final certification and commemoration.
Finally, there is the declaration of the palace province. The palace platform province is named after the pearls and jade, the green dragon and the white tiger, and other four directions. Finally, the white linen and red sandalwood used to worship the prime minister are declared. The so-called special rank/treasure medal is for those who serve as ministers.
The highest honor. Often when an emperor reigns, he may not be able to award one or two.
Therefore, although the honorary ranks within this system usually seem to be of little use and can only be used to pass down family honors and brag about them, in some details of activities within the system, there are still priorities and various
invisible and convenient;
For example, if you have the same rank and rank, you can give priority to the use of medals and medals, public resources such as carriages and horses, dining halls, etc., and you don’t need to salute when you see an officer with the same rank. Formalism is greater than substance.
