Chapter 79

"There was more drumming just now, when is it?" Tu Danyi raised his head in a daze and asked.

The row of officials sitting at the bottom all wore purple silk or black slanted leather book bags on their belts.Hearing Tu Shanyi's question, they stood up at the same time, and replied respectfully: "Report to You Cheng, it's the third watch."

"Oh..." Tu Danyi replied.He opened his mouth, then slowly lowered his head, and even snored lightly, with saliva dripping from his mouth, and slowly hanging onto the expensive gold-sprinkled blanket on his knees.

The officials looked at each other and felt helpless, but no one could solve it.The little official who was replaced outside was sleepy at this time, and the officials had already gone up and down to let him know the rules.But this old man in front of him is the right prime minister of the current dynasty, the empress's clan, no less than dozens of important officials in the court are his descendants and are supported by him.

What is it for an old man to take a nap?
The burning of the imperial city, is it a big deal to his old man?

The old man obviously felt that it was not a big deal.So what can we do?

Several people showed impatient expressions on their faces, and were about to stand up, but were stopped by their companions.

A row of officials sat silently for a while, and the servants turned out from the back hall, carrying a basin with a cloth towel beside it.The maid dipped a cloth towel in hot water and wiped Tu Danyi's face.The towel was very hot, and the water was very hot. Seeing that the maid's hands were burned red, the loose skin on Tu Danyi's face was also burned red.

Tu Shanyi managed to open his eyes: "Huh?"

The officials looked at each other, and one of them pressed the saber with the wooden tongue handle, strode to the center of the hall, and said loudly: "Master Tudan, in this situation, you have to..."

Tu Shanyi shook his head dissatisfied.

The official was speechless, but he heard Tu Shanyi complain: "The water is not hot, it's cold, it's too cold!"

He pushed away the maid's hand and muttered, "Go change the hot water! Change the hot water!"

The maid picked up the copper basin blankly, not knowing what to say.After a while, she bowed to Tu Danyi and turned back 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.

Mr. Tudan is getting old, isn't his brain not working?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 opposite each other until dawn...

No.Tomorrow, everyone in the outside world will definitely say that our group of people is unreasonable, ignorant of respecting the elderly and respecting the virtuous, and forcibly persecuting Mr. Tudan for a whole night. This reputation is not good, and it will greatly hinder the official career!In case this old man has another headache, and how many ministers in the court will make a fuss, who will be responsible in the group?

At the moment, everyone was frustrated, and the first person came out and bowed deeply to Tu Shanyi: "It's late at night, sir, please rest early, we will come to the door tomorrow to ask for help."

"Yes, yes, we will come back tomorrow." The rest of the officials responded one after another.

The group backed out.

It wasn't until the sound of their horses and whips fading away that Tu Danyi suddenly raised his head.

Although his expression was tired, his eyes were extremely calm.

"Jinqing!" he called out loudly.

The young scholar came out from the back hall: "I am here."

The injuries on his forehead and nose have been treated, and the medicine has been applied. He looks a little embarrassed and funny.

Tu Shanyi nodded slightly to him, and asked, "How about Miyagi?"

"The fire started from Penglai Courtyard and Ruizhu Palace, spread across the palace wall of Yuhua Gate, and killed several servants. Fortunately, it did not burn the Tongyuan where His Majesty lived. Affected. The fire is out now, but..."

"But what?"

"I heard that the rare treasures in the inner storehouse were quite damaged. His Majesty was frightened and furious. On the spot, he ordered Li Sizhong, the head of the inner servant, to lead someone to beat Feng Xiang, the right police patrol, with more than 80 sticks. At that time, no one dared to persuade, so , killed."

The right police patrol of Zhongdu is an official position of the sixth grade, with heavy powers and responsibilities. After several years of work, the next official will be the judge and the supervisory censor.It seemed that this situation that turned into elbows and armpits really made the always weak emperor extremely angry.

"Feng Xiang? This person has no other talents, and his job is to inflict grievances. If he dies, he will die."

Tu Danyi was so familiar with the imperial court that he immediately understood that this person was a scapegoat pushed by Tu Dan Nanping, who knew about Daxing Mansion.

Tudan Nanping is also an important member of the Tudan family, and his relationship with Tudan Yi is similar to that of an ally, but the means of doing things are quite different.Nan Ping is the direct elder brother of Empress Tu Dan, and he followed the path of befriending the inner circle of the palace.The person who is particularly close to him on a daily basis is Li Sizhong, the head of the Palace of Internal Servants.

It seems that Tudan Nanping and Li Sizhong were probably ventilated, so when the emperor was furious, Li Sizhong first pushed Feng Xiang, the right police patrol, to the top. Once Feng Xiang was killed, the emperor's anger would fade no matter what Many, and perhaps some regrets.

This way, Tudan Nanping will be safe.

"This move is really good." Tu Shanyi thought about it again, nodded, and continued to ask: "Then, how about along Zhangyimen Street?"

"Both the banknote printing and banknote delivery warehouses are safe. The restaurants and shops along the street suffered some losses due to the riots and tramples, but they are not serious. The gangsters in the city took the opportunity to loot, killing and injuring dozens of people. In addition, the armed guards killed nearly Hundreds of people, more than [-] guards and soldiers were killed or injured."

Tu Shanyi frowned: "With so many casualties, could it be that they failed to kill one or two of Guo Ning's subordinates?"

The scholar bowed his head and said: "Guo Ning's subordinates, besides Du Shisheng, there are four other cavalrymen, all of whom are brave. They rode straight into the formation, as if they had entered the land of no one. Now all six of them have escaped, and they are only judges. There is absolutely no way to stop them."

"Hey!"

If you really want to stop it, there is still a way.For example, the place where this group of people settled outside the city of Zhongdu must be the several manors that Tu Shanhang bought in Zhongdu in his early years. At this time, Kui Ye sent troops to pursue them, and there must be something to gain.However, in this way, the connection between the Tudan clan and this evil tiger will be completely exposed, which is not good.

Therefore, according to Tu Danyi's arrangement, once these people left the city, there would be nowhere to chase them.Even if someone in the city wanted to chase them, they would not be able to do so. From the officials of the Daxing Mansion to the pawns of the Weijie Army, everyone would be properly reminded to ensure that Guo Ning and others disappeared without a trace.

As a veteran of the three dynasties and the right prime minister of the current dynasties, there is no difficulty in doing such a trivial matter.

Unexpectedly, Tu Dan Jinshou was dissatisfied with Tu Dan Yi's decision to introduce the people in the wilderness because he was brave and good at fighting, so he brought extra people to Zhangyi Gate, and specially set up an ambush to trap Tu Dan Yi in anticipation. The difficulty of the test has increased several times.

As a result, the strength of Guo Ning's counterattack was more than ten times higher than what Tu Shanyi expected; and the troubles caused were a hundred times more.

Even if Tu Danyi thought about it for three days and three nights, he still couldn't predict that this person had no respect for the imperial court and acted recklessly in the city of Zhongdu!
Only Dan Jinshou is really confused!Really incompetent!
And Guo Ning, this vicious tiger, is really... well, it's too fierce!
This time, there are a lot of things that need to be adjusted, so I have to make preparations in advance tonight and make arrangements immediately.Otherwise, in the court tomorrow, some people will not be able to suppress their criticisms, and Wanyan Gang's party members dare to come to my door to persecute me right now, without any regard for my face.
Tu Shanyi sighed, and said to the scholar: "Let's go to the study to hurry up and discuss... You have to go to Anzhou as soon as possible, go to the Feijunhe camp, and watch Guo Ning!"

This night is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.

　Note 1: In the central capital of the Jin Dynasty, the place where the concubines lived was called "Sixteen".

At the beginning, when Emperor Sejong arrived in Zhongdu, many people from the palace were sent back home. There was a case in which several people, such as Xinxin, were sent away.On the night of Guisi in the second month of leap in the second year of Dading, sixteen people were set on fire, and the halls of Taihe and Shenlong were burned down.

Note 2: I just found out that during the Dading period, there was a left police patrol in the Central Capital, whose name was Li Keqin.
