The so-called Xiaodi, the serious position is called serving in the bureau of close attendants. The old name is Xiaodi who does not enter the dormitory, also known as the Xiaodi of the outer tent. It is the thirty people who are responsible for surrounding the imperial tent when the emperor is on tour. The position is usually the eighth grade or above.
From the eighth grade.
The Internal Affairs Bureau, which the emperor relied on, originally had the same status as the Artifacts Bureau, the Stables Bureau, and the Chariot Bureau. It was under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Department in front of the palace. It was an inconspicuous small organization. On the bottom, there was a person who was in charge.
There is one person in charge of the Bureau, two people in charge, and sixteen people in charge, and there is nothing else.
With the continuous rise of the valet bureau, the status of these people has been raised a lot out of thin air these days. Any ordinary little guy has a large number of helpers and thugs under his command. When walking on the street, there are like clouds of followers, even if they are against
Officials of the third and fourth ranks of the imperial court were not left behind.
Theoretically, the fifth-grade Xuanfu judge from the local area would only nod and bow when he saw them.
But Du Shisheng, the magistrate of Xuanfu, was not among them.
The emperor knew, and everyone in the bureau knew that this old man was the representative of Ding Haijun in Zhongdu, and he also collected information about Central Capital for Ding Haijun, so that Guo Ning's evil tiger could profit from it. So there is no doubt that this
I am a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in his flesh.
In the past few months, many officials who had interacted with Du Shisheng had avoided him. Only Shangshu Youcheng Xu Ding occasionally chatted with Du Shisheng for the sake of food sources, maintaining a relationship that was neither salty nor bland.
scene.
But everyone also understood that the fact that Guo Ning sent such a person to Zhongdu meant that he was quite concerned about the court and wanted to know about the court's trends. It also meant that he hoped to make money through trade with wealthy merchants in Zhongdu.
Then Guo Ning really wants to stop paying attention to the court and summon Du Shisheng back with an order... With that guy's ferocious demeanor, he will most likely overturn the table and go wild. The court is now struggling to maintain its status. How can it bear this?
Therefore, we are extremely cautious and must not allow anything to go wrong.
The result was this. None of the soldiers and horses under Guo Ning were allowed to enter; and the judges under Guo Ning were not allowed to take a single step.
This time, Du Shisheng followed his daily habits and had a few side dishes and a pot of wine in the restaurant, while the wolf-like waiters of the bureau accompanied him, and even emptied the entire restaurant in advance, lest this
Something happened to me.
When Du Shisheng got up and left leisurely after eating and drinking, several Xiaodi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stare. It was getting dark now, the torches were swaying, the firelight was swaying, and several people stared with wide eyes.
Following Du Shisheng's every move, I felt my eyes hurt.
Du Shisheng left the restaurant, did not get on his horse, and walked slowly along the street for half a mile to the north of Kanglefang, the courtyard where he lived. He stepped over the threshold, suddenly patted his head, turned around and walked towards Qianlong.
The horse's servant said: "Today, there are people looting again in Xuanyao Gate. From now on, supply will always be difficult. You should quickly bring more money and buy enough food and firewood!"
The servant asked: "Where can I buy it?"
"Nonsense! Of course we go to the market on the east side of Wangfu Street. The other places are so far away. Can you use my carriage to move it!"
Du Shisheng scolded him casually and went to the backyard.
The servant glanced at his mouth, muttered twice, led the horse into the courtyard, turned around and closed the courtyard door. Not long after, he probably packed up the horse and brought enough money, he came out from the side door again and went to
Went to the market on the east side of Wangfu Street.
The weather was still cold, and a little bit of snow was sprinkled in the air from time to time. A few valets stood across the courtyard. Some people breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, the day has passed, nothing happened. This old man is fine."
"
Some people also said with a sad face: "I'll ask a few men to keep an eye on it at night. It's really too cold. How can I stand it if this goes on day after day?"
"Your Majesty said that we must keep an eye on this guy with our own eyes! Who will stay tonight?"
"I stayed here yesterday, but I won't serve you today! I have to go back home, take a good bath, and then make the two ladies feel comfortable."
While the waiters in the bureau complained, Du Shisheng walked back and forth in the room for a few steps before sitting down.
Lighting the candle casually, he found that his hands were shaking a little.
How could this happen? How old! He felt a little emotional, but couldn't help but want to laugh.
He is not young yet, but his eyesight is still good. Just now he was sitting in the restaurant of Tongmafang, and he could clearly see the team of envoys from the Song Dynasty.
That was indeed an envoy from the Song Dynasty. However, the hundreds of people who were behind the envoy and followed the vehicle were definitely not from the Song Dynasty. Especially a short-haired and fat man sitting cross-legged on the roof of the carriage.
Man...
Du Shisheng hadn't seen his colleagues in the navy for a long time, but how could Du Shisheng not recognize this man who once wiped out the remnants of Hu Shahu's troops in the palace and killed them like rivers of blood?
This is Luo Chongwei, Monk Luo! He is the chief of the Sixth General Manager of Shandong Dinghai Navy and Guo Ning’s right-hand man! Good guy, Guo Liulang has sent Master Huifeng back to Zhongdu!
Needless to say, Guo Liulang is going to do something big!
Du Shisheng clenched his hands into fists and sighed deeply and with satisfaction.
He has been operating in the city of Zhongdu for many years. Since Xu Zhiguo was in power, he has won the reputation of being a strange man by virtue of his skills and calculation skills.
Civil situation, in case of emergency.
Twenty years have passed since then, and Du Shisheng has not accomplished any real big things. In the past year, he has always been regarded as Guo Ning's messenger, and he himself is just a has-been.
Just an old scholar.
But Du Shisheng himself knows that Guo Ning has given Du Shisheng tremendous support and authority in the past year. And Du Shisheng will definitely repay the favor at the appropriate time.
Those high-ranking officials and nobles of the Jurchens have been out of touch for too long, and are rotten from head to toe. So the things they think they can firmly control are actually gorgeous buildings built on mud and sand.
Exquisite and solid, once the foundation is shaken, it is immediately riddled with holes and is on the verge of collapse.
And Du Shisheng is someone who knows every piece of mud and beach very well.
At this moment, Du Shisheng was sitting peacefully at home, but when he went out to buy grain and firewood, his servants were very particular about their whereabouts.
The market he went to was the one on the east side of Wangfu Street. This market was not far from the courtyard where Du Shisheng was located, so it was natural for the servants to go there.
Because this market is located between Sheng'en Temple and Xianlu Temple, it is very cramped, so the shops are located in the north, but the supply yard is located in the south across Shirenmen Street. If you are an old acquaintance going to buy, you can go directly
Just go to the storage yard.
To the south of the yard, there is a high wall that has been in disrepair for a long time. Opposite the high wall, which is about twenty to thirty feet wide, is the famous Minzhong Temple. But there is also a short corner facing the Jin Kingdom for housing.
The joint embassy of envoys from various countries.
Directly below the folded corner is a house used to house the delegation's entourage.
All of this is within Du Shisheng's budget, and he has already arranged the relevant support manpower.
Half an hour later, the door outside the courtyard rang. The servant followed a dilapidated cart hired temporarily and returned to the side gate.
The vehicle was pushed into the courtyard, and the side door was closed. The firewood scattered on the vehicle was pushed away with a clatter. Monk Luo sat upright on the board of the vehicle, smiling at Du Shisheng.
"Lao Du, I want to be your neighbor for a while!" The monk lowered his voice and said cheerfully.
Now that I've let go, there will be new content at work. I may have to go on a business trip tomorrow... I'll hurry up and try to write another chapter in the evening... But you don't have to wait, just read it in the morning...
