"The drums just started ringing, what time is it?" Tu Danyi looked up in a daze and asked.
The row of officials sitting at the bottom all had purple silk or black leather book bags hanging on their belts. After hearing Tu Danyi's question, they stood up at the same time and respectfully replied: "Report to Your Majesty, the third watch
Already."
"Oh..." Tu Danyi responded. He opened his mouth, his head slowly dropped, and he even snored slightly. Drool dripped from his mouth and slowly hung on his knees.
On a precious gold-sprinkled blanket.
The officials looked at each other, feeling helpless, but no one could solve the problem. If the clerk outside was snoozing, the officials would have gone up to him and let him know the rules. But in front of him was this
Lao'er is the right prime minister of the current dynasty, a sibling of the queen, and dozens of important ministers in the court are his descendants and supported by him.
What does it mean for him to take a nap?
Is the imperial city burning down a big deal to him?
The old man obviously felt that it was not a big deal. So, what can we do?
Several people had impatient looks on their faces. When they were about to get up, they were stopped by their companions.
A row of officials sat in silence for a while, then a maid came out from the back hall, carrying a basin with a cloth towel. The maid dipped the cloth towel in hot water and wiped her face with Tu Danyi. The cloth towel was very hot and the water was very soft.
It was hot. I saw that the maid's hands were burned red, and the loose skin on Tu Shanyi's face was also burned red.
Tu Danyi managed to open his eyes: "Ah?"
The officials glanced at each other, and one of them pressed the sword with a chicken tongue handle, strode to the center of the hall, and said loudly: "Master Tudan, in this situation, you have to..."
Tu Danyi shook his head dissatisfied.
The official was speechless, but his disciple Shan Yi complained: "The water is not hot, it's cold, it's too cold!"
He pushed the maid's hand away and muttered: "Go and get the hot water! Get the hot water!"
The maid picked up the copper basin in confusion, not knowing what to say. After a while, she bowed to Tu Danyi and returned to the back hall with the copper basin in her hand.
Tu Shanyi lowered his head and continued to doze off.
The officials looked at each other.
Master Tudan, is he getting old and his brain is not working well? Looking at this posture, there will be no results today anyway? What's the point of everyone sitting here so stupidly? Even if you sit here,
Dawn...
No. Tomorrow, everyone in the outside world will definitely spread the word that our group of people are unkind and don’t know how to respect the elderly and the virtuous. We forcefully forced Mr. Tudan for a whole night. This reputation is not good, and it will greatly hinder our career!
If this old man has another headache and fever, and countless ministers in the court are suddenly moved, who among the group will bear the responsibility?
At that moment, everyone was frustrated. The leader came out and bowed deeply to Tu Shanyi: "It's late at night. Sir, please go to bed early. We'll come back tomorrow to ask for your help."
"Yes, yes, we will come back tomorrow." The other officials agreed one after another.
The group of people retreated.
It wasn't until the sounds of their horses and whips gradually faded away that Tu Danyi suddenly raised his head.
Although he looked tired, his eyes were extremely calm.
"Jin Qing!" he called out loudly.
The young scholar came out of the back hall: "I'm here."
The injuries on his forehead and nose have been treated and medicines have been applied. He looks a little embarrassed and a little funny.
Tu Danyi nodded slightly to him and asked, "How is the palace?"
"The fire started from Penglaiyuan and Ruizhu Palace, spread across the Yuhuamen palace wall, and killed several chamberlains. Fortunately, it did not burn down the Tongyuan Palace where His Majesty lived. In addition, the sixteen concubines and other places were not burned.
Affected. The fire has been extinguished by now, but..."
"But what?"
"I heard that the treasures in the inner treasury were greatly damaged. His Majesty was frightened and furious. He ordered Li Sizhong, the head of the chamberlain, to lead his men on the spot, and punished Feng Xiang, the right police inspector, with more than eighty sticks. No one dared to persuade him at that time.
So, beat him to death."
The right police inspector of Zhongdu is an official of the sixth rank, with particularly heavy powers and responsibilities. After a few years of service, the next official is to be the judge of punishment and supervise the censor. It seems that this situation has become a tense situation, which really makes the always weak
The emperor was very angry.
"Feng Xiang? This man is a man with no other talents. His first job is to be responsible and responsible. If he dies, he will die."
Disciple Shan Yi was so familiar with the court that he immediately understood that this person was a scapegoat introduced by Shan Nanping, an official in Daxing Prefecture.
Tu Dan Nanping is also an important member of the Tu Dan family. His relationship with Tu Dan Yi is similar to that of an ally, but his methods of doing things are quite different. Nan Ping is the direct brother of Queen Tu Dan, and he follows the path of making friends with those in the palace. Daily life
The person who was particularly close to him was Li Sizhong, the head of the chamberlain.
It seems that Dan Nanping and Li Sizhong had a chance to vent their anger, so when the emperor was angry, Li Sizhong first pushed Feng Xiang, the right police patrolman, on top. Once Feng Xiang was killed, the emperor's anger would fade away no matter what.
Many, and maybe some regrets.
This way, Tu Dan Nanping will be safe.
"This move is really good." Tu Danyi thought about it again, nodded, and continued to ask: "So, how about along Zhangyimen Street?"
"Both the banknote printing warehouse and the banknote delivery warehouse were fine. The wine shops and restaurants along the street suffered some damage due to the riots and trampling, but they were not serious. The gangsters in the city took the opportunity to loot, killing and wounding dozens of people. In addition, the armed guards suffered nearly 100 casualties.
There were a hundred people, including more than 20 bodyguards and soldiers killed and injured."
Tu Danyi frowned: "With so many casualties, could it be that one or two of Guo Ning's subordinates were not killed or injured?"
The scholar bowed his head and said: "In addition to Du Shisheng, Guo Ning's subordinates also have four cavalrymen, all of whom are brave. They rode through the formation as if they were in an uninhabited country. Now all six of them have escaped, and only the judge is alone.
There are so many people who can’t stop them at all.”
"Hey!"
If we really want to stop them, there is still a way. For example, the place where this group of people settled outside Zhongdu City must be several manors that Tu Shanhang bought in Zhongdu in his early years. At this time, Wei Ye sent troops to pursue them, and there must be gains. However, if this happens
, but the involvement of the Tushan clan and this evil tiger was completely exposed, which would be very bad.
Therefore, according to Tu Danyi's arrangement, once these people leave the city, there will be no whereabouts for them to pursue. Even if someone in the city wants to pursue them, they will not be able to. From the officials of Daxing Prefecture to the pawns of Weijie Army, everyone will receive appropriate rewards.
Reminder to ensure that Guo Ning and others disappear without a trace.
As a veteran of three dynasties and the right prime minister of the current dynasty, it is not difficult to do this little thing.
What I didn't expect was that Tu Dan Jinshou, relying on his bravery and good fighting skills, was actually dissatisfied with Tu Dan Yi's decision to introduce the people in the grass, so he led many extra people to Changyi Gate and specially set up an ambush to capture Tu Shan Yi's surprise.
The difficulty of the test has increased several times.
As a result, the intensity of Guo Ning's counterattack increased ten times and dozens of times more than Tu Danyi expected; and the trouble he caused increased a hundred times.
Even if Tu Danyi thought about it for another three days and three nights, he could not predict that this person would have no respect for the imperial court and act recklessly in Zhongdu City!
Shan Jinshou is really confused! He is really incompetent!
And Guo Ning, this evil tiger, is really...well, too ferocious!
Now, there are many things that need to be adjusted. We must make preparations tonight and make arrangements immediately. Otherwise, some people will not be able to suppress the criticism in the court tomorrow. Wanyan Gang’s party members will dare to They come to me and force me, without caring about my face. I will definitely take this opportunity to cause trouble tomorrow and cause a lot of trouble!
Tu Danyi sighed and said to the scholar: "Let's go to the study to discuss quickly... You have to go to Anzhou as soon as possible and go to the Xijunhe camp to keep an eye on Guo Ning!"
This night is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Note 1: In the central capital of the Jin Dynasty, the place where the concubines lived was called "Sixteen Bits".
At the beginning, when Emperor Shizong came to Zhongdu, many people who had been released from the palace returned home. There was an example of several people such as Zhengxin being released. The director failed to get the inspection and was not allowed to leave the palace. He was often unhappy. On the night of Guisi in the second month of the second year of Dading, he He set fire to the Sixteenth One and burned Taihe and Shenlong Hall.
Note 2: I just discovered that during the Dading period, there was a left police patrol in Zhongdu named Li Keqin.
