The hundreds of "common people" who blocked Yan Shu's car seemed to have received unified orders for some reason. They all got up and patted their butts and started walking. Li Gang, who was standing at the front of the team on horseback, had no idea about the whole thing and was a little surprised.
Several people exchanged glances, and those few people were also confused. They didn't know whether these people had the wrong muscles.
Fu Bi saw that the people who were blocking him were gone, and knowing that he had succeeded, he returned to the purple sedan in the middle of the team and said loudly: "Brother Su, it seems it worked."
The sedan curtain opened, Su Jin poked his head out, looked back and forth, and met the eyes of Li Gang who had rushed back to report. Li Gang was startled and said hurriedly: "Su Xiaoguan, what are you doing?
, why did you run into the adult's sedan? How unbecoming is this?"
Su Jin chuckled and said: "I have been an imperial envoy for an hour, and you only know now that I have seriously neglected my duty. Don't say anything, and move forward quickly, and rush to the government office to pick up your Majesty. This group of people has dispersed."
Go, it will be troublesome if you go to the government office."
Fu Bi was startled, secretly scolding himself for his negligence, and quickly ordered a large group of people to rush to the government office. Li Gang became more and more confused and kept looking for opportunities to ask. Su Jin said: "General Li, don't ask now. I will tell you everything next time."
You, you must immediately mobilize your soldiers and horses, replace your men at the gates of the four cities, set up additional patrols in the city, and implement a curfew, quickly!"
Li Gang said in astonishment: "How can I obey what you say without your orders?"
Su Jin said helplessly: "Then you should hurry up and go to the government office to ask for orders. I'm afraid there will be chaos. I beg you, General, go as quickly as possible."
Li Gang looked at Fu Bi, and Fu Bi said: "General Li, listen to him. I testify that you are still hesitating despite the urgent need. Your safety is more important."
Li Gang no longer hesitated, whipped his horse and rushed towards the government office with more than a dozen flying horses to ask for orders.
Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief and retracted his head into the sedan. Fu Bi said outside: "Why don't you come out? You don't need to pretend to be an adult anymore."
Su Jin said angrily: "Are you going to kill the donkey? Is it so easy for you to sit in the imperial envoy's sedan chair when you are the Third Secretary? If I am not wrong, I am afraid that you have never sat in it once; since I have
Why don’t you let me have more fun with this opportunity?”
Fu Bi rolled his eyes and thought to himself: I have never sat on one before, but what's the point of having fun with it? I will definitely get a serious imperial minister's sedan to sit on in the future.
We were about to get to the Yamen right before we saw it, so we decided to go there. It was very pitiful to let this boy live his life if he wanted to.
…
Li Gang got Yan Shu's order and acted quickly. Li Gang was really good at leading troops. He was very quick to execute orders and prohibitions. Before noon, all the gates of the four cities were taken over by the German army. Five hundred and five people were sent to each of the four gates for strict inspection.
People came in and out, and fifty patrol teams were dispatched to strengthen patrols in the city. At the same time, more than a thousand soldiers inside and outside the government office were stationed to guard.
After Yan Shu took over Yingtian Mansion, he issued three notices to inform the people in the city. At the same time, he sent people to set up temporary military camps at various major intersections to prevent unexpected events and mobilize troops nearby for timely support.
People who didn't know the truth thought that Yan Shu was making a fuss out of a molehill. It was a normal time for an official to leave his post, but the imperial envoy was so full that he made people panic and uneasy. They didn't know what he was thinking.
Of course, in Su Jin's view, Yan Shu's actions were extremely sophisticated. Yan Shu could give so many prudent instructions without fear of causing discussion and panic among the people. This just shows that Yan Shu's judgment of the situation is extremely correct, and it also proves Su Jin's ability from the side.
It can be inferred that all actions of Prince Teng have already fallen into the control of the imperial court.
Facts have proved that Yan Shu's series of actions were quite effective. After half a day of panic, the people quickly returned to normal. What surprised the people even more was that the idlers and gangsters who were wandering around the four cities suddenly disappeared.
Without a trace, the group of people who usually drank five and six with their arms stretched out seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Zhao Zongdan stayed in the house without leaving the house, but there were a few sneaky figures coming and going frequently at the side door. They were the subordinates of the Four Cities and the guards at home who were inquiring about the news. Zhao Zongdan told these scolding ruffians: the new appointment
The magistrate has not yet arrived, and Yan Shu cannot stay here for more than three or two days. We have to hold it in for these few days. Once Yan Shu leaves, the world of Yingtian Mansion will still be our own.
In the evening of the same day, Yan Shu summoned a group of officials from Yingtian Mansion to come to the government office to meet. He explicitly asked everyone to perform their duties and not slack off until the new magistrate came. He also summoned a senior official to admonish them individually, vaguely informing them of the key points, and asking them to understand the situation clearly.
, no more violations of the law shall be allowed.
These people originally followed King Teng to reap benefits. They did not know the true purpose of King Teng at all. In their view, no matter who was replaced as the prefect, as long as the official position was not lost and there was money and money to be made, it would be fine to follow King Teng.
They didn't think about rebellion at all. In their opinion, King Teng was just making money like them. But King Teng was making big money, and they followed behind to drink soup and eat bones.
That’s all.
For Tang Jie's successive posts, more people actually had a kind of envy. Even after the decree was announced, these people congratulated one after another and clamored for Tang Jie to serve wine and give red envelopes.
But the development of things was far beyond their expectation. Yan Shu's series of actions were unusual. In the afternoon of the same day, Tang Jie was escorted by more than a dozen of Yan Shu's personal guards and left Yingtian for his appointment. The posture did not look like he was going to his appointment.
, rather like being expelled and escorted to Beijing.
All this shocked their nerves. Even the most nervous people realized that something was unusual. So after Yan Shu summoned them to admonish them, these people really realized that the situation was somewhat different, so they kept a low profile and restrained themselves one by one.
, the office work that should be done, the work that should be done, all performed their duties meticulously.
Of course Yan Shu knew that most of them were gangsters who were following behind and yelling, but there were also people who knew the situation. This was not the time to take action. I hoped Zhao Zongdan could smell something. That two-foot-long white silk was not white.
Granted, if he recognizes the situation, it will be over. If he does not, when Tang Jie arrives in the capital, what awaits him will be double inquiries from the Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment. By then, I am afraid that Prince Teng will have to commit suicide if he does not want to.
"You choose your own path, don't blame others." Yan Shu sighed and told Fu Bi in the government office hall the next morning. Fu Bi naturally understood the meaning of his words.
"Sir, when shall we set off?" Fu Bi asked.
"The matter is not settled yet. The person has not yet understood the seriousness of the matter. It may take a few more days."
"Why not just capture him and take him to the capital to settle the matter?" Fu Bi asked.
"Yan Guo, you are forty years old, and your thoughts always stay in a small area. Su Jin would never ask such a question."
Fu Bi lowered his head and said: "What my father-in-law taught me is that I am not as good as Su Jin. I can already see the gap between me and him from the plan of secretly plotting against Chen Cang yesterday."
Yan Shu felt that his words were too harsh, so he said warmly: "You also have advantages over him. Su Jin is too out-of-the-box and does things unexpectedly, while you are a bit dull. Su Jin is better because of his cleverness, and you are better because of your diligence."
Rigorous, these two qualities are necessary to be a good minister, so don't belittle yourself, you can think about this matter deeply, and you will definitely have an answer."
Fu Bi thought for a while and said softly: "But what does he mean?" He pointed his finger at the sky.
Yan Shu smiled and said: "I can teach you, I love benevolence, and ruling the world with benevolence and righteousness is his pursuit. For example, if that person doesn't get up and take action, the emperor will never take action first, lest he be slandered by the world, or there may be direct consequences.
Evidence can ease the minds of people all over the world. Otherwise, it would be impossible to make a decision first."
Fu Bi sighed and said, "It's hard to predict the will of God."
Yan Shu laughed and said, "Haven't you figured out the unpredictability? I asked Su Jin yesterday, and he answered the same way. It seems that God's will is not unpredictable, but God's will is unpredictable."
Fu Bi said quietly: "It's a pity that person didn't seem to be tested."
"Then just put a little more effort into it. Bao Zheng should leave. It's difficult to be the governor of Yingtian Mansion. I know you mean this, but Bao Zheng is more suitable for this matter. You won't blame me."
"How dare Yan Guo? I'm afraid there is no suitable candidate except Bao Zheng for the job of Ying Tianfu. I don't know if Prime Minister Lu can get approval."
"You are stupid again, aren't you? This matter was decided by the emperor himself. I think it's all in vain for Prime Minister Lu to fight you all his life. No one can make up his mind on such a sensitive matter. Do you understand?"
