Chapter 76: Exercising the Order King Gao Patrols the West City (2)
Put a mouse in a rice vat and expect the mouse not to steal his mouth?
Xicheng is prosperous, and 70% of the shops in Anlu City are gathered here. Gao Kang feels that Taoist idiots are young and mature, and think carefully, and the admiration on his face is not concealed at all.[]
The Taoist Idiot is not so optimistic. He does not think that he has the aura of a "tyrant" and can curb everyone's greed by just giving a few random instructions.
Isn't this also suitable for his age and status? He is thoughtful, but his ability is insufficient. If he is really young, he would be perfect, which is very eye-catching.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, after the second shift of soldiers and government officials came back, a small team started making a fuss over the uneven distribution of stolen goods.
In a small team, the ceremonial guards and the palace guards are all servants of the palace, and they can barely be considered a group. There are three local guards, and there is little room for choice in the team.
The people in the palace were accustomed to being arrogant, so how could they take the servants seriously? Before coming back, they taught a few freeloaders in a restaurant in the back street and received the filial piety of ten taels of silver and four ounces of money.
The leader of the ceremonial guard collected all the money carelessly, and only gave three ounces of money to the six palace guards, and one ounce of money to three servants. He thought that because of the name of the ceremonial guard, it was natural for him to suppress the others.
The land occupies a large part.
However, none of the yamen servants who were on duty in the yamen were old fools who wanted money rather than their lives. The three of them saw that the guards looked dissatisfied, so they secretly instigated a few words.
When they returned to the restaurant, the six people started making a fuss. Although the ceremonial guards were more honorable than the guards, they were all soldiers without rank. There were only six people on our side, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Try your best not to fall short, and don't let others take advantage of you. This is also the normal state of people's hearts.
Six palace guards here are "besieging" a ritual guard with all their talk, and the other team captains who are taking turns can't see it.
Let’s not talk about who is right or wrong. Let’s just say that if the palace guards dare to offend the ceremonial guards, as ceremonial guards, they cannot tolerate it?
They stood up to show support, and the guards were also holding back their anger and started to choke more and more.
Dao Chi and Gao Kang stood on the stairs on the second floor, watching everything going on downstairs. Dao Chi's face was tense and full of anger.
Gao Kang also frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with these troublemaking soldiers.
"Eunuch Gao, how should we deal with these people who knowingly commit crimes?" Dao Chi said with hatred.
When Gao Kang heard this, he couldn't help but turned around in surprise and looked at Dao Chi. In his opinion, Dao Chi was young, but he was very determined.
However, looking at Dao's crazy little blue face, as well as the anger and confusion in his eyes, Gao Kang realized that this was still a half-grown child. Of course, he could use the crown prince's prestige and teach everyone a few words with a straight face.
But it would be too difficult for him to talk about punishment.
But no matter how old the Taoist idiot is, they are the people around the prince. If these soldiers and ruffians neglect the Taoist idiot, they are neglecting the prince.
Gao Kang looked at the people downstairs and said with a gloomy look on his face: "Don't be lenient! Otherwise, if you follow their example, even if Xicheng is good, they will mess it up!"
As if he had a backbone, Dao Chi hurriedly asked: "What do you mean, father-in-law?"
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!" Gao Kang said.
The ten people in the group below who dared to reach out to grab money and then did not hide it, of course became "chickens".
Gao Kang did not go downstairs to explain right and wrong to them, but directly took off his waistband and handed it to Jingzhe: "Go back to the palace to see His Highness, and report to His Highness on behalf of the Second Young Master and our family that someone has violated His Highness's wishes.
, taking advantage of the opportunity of patrolling the streets to disturb the people and make money, please tell me how to deal with it, Your Highness."
Jingzhe glanced at Dao Chi and when he nodded, he took the badge and returned to the palace.
Gao Kang and Dao Chi returned to the private room.
Seeing that the Taoist idiot looked puzzled, Gao Kang explained in a nice way: "Your Highness has been holding back his anger for the past few days, so he will never let them go lightly. If he wants to spend the rest, he must weigh it carefully."
Jingzhe had been gone for half an hour, and he returned with twenty ceremonial guards.
Just as Gao Kang guessed, the prince was very angry when he heard that the imperial guards did not respect the orders and disturbed the place. He ordered one of the imperial guards to come and take the person, and another imperial guard to fill the vacancy.
Originally being pulled away, there were still a few ceremonial guards and palace guards downstairs, but they saw a large number of people rushing in at the door.
Gao Kang and Dao Chi heard the commotion and came out of the elegant room.
Gao Kang didn't hesitate and pointed directly at the group of people who had just caused trouble: "They are the ones who made the trouble."
The expressions of those who were accused changed drastically. Just as they were about to defend themselves, they were restrained by the wolf-like and tiger-like guards.
What happened next was eye-popping.
The three government officials were restrained and thrown aside, while the remaining seven palace guards were stripped of their clothes. In addition to the filial piety clothes outside, the official uniforms inside were also not spared.
The six palace guards were so frightened that they did not dare to move. The ceremonial guard struggled desperately, pressed his clothes, and said sharply: "Old Si Zheng, what are you doing with your grandmother?"
That Zheng Laosi snorted coldly and said: "You dare to disobey His Highness's will. His Highness said that you are not worthy of mourning for the prince!"
As he said this, his men were merciless and tore off the filial piety and official uniforms of the ceremonial guard in three strokes.
The dozens of people watching were dumbfounded.
Regardless of whether it was the team that caused trouble before or those who were watching, returning to the teahouse and not shying away from the outside world might not mean testing the bottom line of Taoist idiots and Gao Kang.
I didn't expect this result. The Crown Prince was not just talking about mourning, there was no place for these people in the palace.
Everyone looked at the stairs in unison, looking at Gao Kang with fear in their eyes. They almost cursed in their hearts. No wonder they all said that the eunuch was a sinister person, and his behavior was too cruel.
Gao Kang looked down at all this, thinking about the contempt in these people's eyes before, and felt extremely happy. The Taoist idiot standing by, looking at Gao Kang like this, thought to himself that he was still young and could not use his strength normally.
Should we support Gao Kang again?
After expelling the seven palace guards who had knowingly committed the crime, Zheng Laosi said goodbye to Dao Chi and Gao Kang and led these people back to the palace. The three guards were not spared either.
Whether it was the forty people who saw it with their own eyes or the fifty people who heard the news after they came back, they all lost their initial aloofness and became more honest.
The sky was getting dark, the number of pedestrians was gradually thinning, and the shops were closed. Everyone had completed their errands for the day and returned to the palace.
The other groups of people have all returned and are talking to the Crown Prince in the Qiyun Hall. The group of Dao Chi and Gao Kang are the last ones to come back.
In front of the Crown Prince, all the companions read that there were still seats available. After Dao Chi greeted the Crown Prince, he sat down under Wang Qi.
Gao Kang, like Huang Jin and other young eunuchs, stood behind the crown prince.
When the prince asked about it, everyone realized that everyone had divided their men into small teams, but the division methods were different.
Wang Qi divided the hundred people into two teams of fifty, and he and Huang Jin each led one team to patrol the east city; Chen Chizhong divided into five teams to patrol the south city in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and he personally led a team to provide support;
Bingze divided his men into four teams and took turns to rest. He and a group of servants led two teams to patrol the north city. Among the four, three of them did it themselves, and only Dao Chi drank tea in the teahouse for a whole day.
Nothing could be seen on Chen Chizhong's face. Wang Qi and Lu Bing looked at the Taoist idiot with resentment.
The prince didn't say which group was doing the best, nor did he mean to interfere with them. After listening, he said to Dao Chi: "It's due to negligence. There are so many merchants in Xicheng, which is a place of right and wrong. Tomorrow, you can get more from the palace."
Fifty people.”
The Taoist Chi said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, there is a wonderful method proposed by Eunuch Gao. Even if you don't add more people, the West City will be safe."
After hearing this, the prince asked curiously: "What's the magic method?"
Dao Chi said: "In addition to the street patrols, according to Eunuch Gao's proposal, ten people will be appointed to supervise every day. In this way, we are not afraid of them deceiving the superiors and disturbing the local area."
Later, the specific supervision regulations and some reward and punishment standards were discussed.
After hearing this, the prince put a smile on his face and said: "Rewards and punishments are clear, great kindness." After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Gao Kang behind him, and said: "I will mark your merits for you, and I will reward you when the matter is over."
Gao Kang hurriedly knelt down and said: "Serving His Highness is a blessing for me as a servant. I dare not accept it as His Highness's reward!"
These eunuchs are all commonly used around the prince. They are worthy of use. The prince also felt proud of his face and was in a good mood: "Okay, okay, don't be so petty. Are you stingy?"
Gao Kang stopped talking and kowtowed and stood up.
The prince thought for a while and said to Chen Chizhong: "Nancheng has the most dense population, so we should add more people. Since Erlang and the others don't want anyone, then Nancheng will add a hundred people."
Chen Chizhong stood up and responded.
After a tiring day, everyone went to express their condolences outside Qing Yun's gate, and then returned to study. Several servants were left behind by the prince, who seemed to have other orders.
As soon as he entered the gate of Fu Xue, Wang Qi pressed his arm on Dao Chi's shoulder and snorted: "You brat, you have such a good idea, but you don't even know how to tell me. To be honest, did you come up with it last night?"
You are so unloyal. My brother has been riding a horse for a whole day, and the skin on his thighs is all scratched."
Dao Chi smiled bitterly and said: "I only thought about splitting up when I was about to reach Xicheng. I slept like a pig last night. Who would think of this?"
Wang Qi was still angry: "Even if you think about it later, you should let others know. I don't know that my brother is a real person and won't think about this?"
Seeing the loyal look on his face, Dao Chi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He didn't believe that Wang Qi had never thought of arranging his subordinates to be behind the scenes, but in that case, how could he appear to be attentive to the prince's instructions? Riding a horse around for a day in the open was not for errands, but more to show the prince.
But because Lu Bing and Chen Chizhong also did it themselves, Wang Qi's "loyalty and honesty" overwhelmed everyone...
Unknown to the companions, after they left Kaiyun Palace, two people came out from behind the screen behind the Crown Prince.
It was Yuan Zonggao and Lu Dian. They came out from behind the screen and looked at their seats again.
The prince nodded to the two of them and first asked a few young eunuchs to comment on the actions of these four people.
Huang Jin's evaluation of Wang Qi is: "He is straightforward, careful in his duties, and rarely flexible."
The eunuch who followed Chen Chizhong was called Lu Fang, and he commented on Chen Chizhong: "He has the talent of a useful soldier."
Gao Kang commented on Dao Chi: "Exceptionally smart and good at planning, but he is still young and cannot cope with changes in time."
The eunuch who followed Lu Bing was called Zhao Dashan, and he commented on Lu Bing: "He is extremely diligent and does not dare to slack off at all, for fear that there will be shortcomings..."
"Tianguan" will be on the shelves in two and a half hours, with a guaranteed monthly pass, Xiaojiu begged!
