Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Ding Tian has already packed everything in the Criminal Department, and he is about to go to the prison.

Heavenly prison, the place where the emperor imprisoned his own prisoners.

There are very few historical records of this place.

He still doesn't know where the prison is!

"The prison is in the palace." Asked Wang Zuo, Wang Zuo gave him a surprised answer.

"In the palace?" Ding Tian was stunned for a long while: "I'm going to work in the palace...on business?"

"Yes, you are going to the palace." Wang Zuole said, "But you don't have to go through the trouble of going through the main entrance. The prison is indeed in the palace, but it is in the northwest of the palace. There is a large separate palace. It is the sky prison, mainly, you can enter the palace through the north gate, and then go to the palace garden under the turret, where the sky prison is located."

Ding Tian nodded ignorantly: "Oh...."

"I'll take you there tomorrow." Wang Zuo came, bringing his official uniforms, and he brought not one set, but ten sets: "You keep these and wear them instead."

"Understood." Ding Tian bowed his head. Since the relationship between the two became public, Ding Tian was a little embarrassed to see Wang Zuo. When the two of them went out, Wang Zuo would definitely show their affection, which made Ding Tian a little shy and spurned himself in his heart. open.

Wang Zuo was not in front of him, he still felt that when everyone looked at him, they were a little critical and critical, probably because they thought he was not worthy of His Royal Highness King Ning?

Anyway, he's uncomfortable right now.

"Unhappy?" Wang Zuo noticed that he was different from the past: "Is it because you are leaving the prison of the Ministry of Justice?"

"No, it's just... I always feel that something is wrong... You don't do anything every day, just help me with things... It's not good..." Ding Tian was stupid and couldn't make much sense, but he felt Can't go wrong.

"It's okay, I'm happy, no one cares." Wang Zuo said: "The person who will replace you has been arranged, don't worry, no one will change your rules and regulations, just like you, prisoners, also It’s all managed as usual, by the way, the reform-through-labor education that you partnered with has to continue.”

"The person who takes over is the one next door?" Ding Tian laughed: "He is quite capable with me, but I don't want to bring the golden armor into the palace, where I can't cover him..."

"Don't worry, you can cover it." Wang Zuo told him domineeringly: "Your immediate superior is the emperor's uncle, and I'm here? You can cover anyone."

"Really?" Ding Tian's eyes lit up: "Actually, I don't want to be separated from him either, our partnership is pretty good..."

"You only match with me, and he...is considered a partnership." Wang Zuo was jealous of this little bit.

Jin Buhuan was walking in with his feet up. After hearing this, he silently retracted the raised feet, turned around and left... His Highness Ning's jealousy, he'd better not provoke it, look at those who made him jealous The end of the people!

None of them are good.

He still forgets it.

All I know is that Young Master Tian just don't want him.

The current life is so good, but Jin Buhuan has recognized a death reason. Senior officials blamed him for not being able to pick him up, and others looked down on him as a local doctor from the countryside, but Tian Shao is different. Tian Shao is a real person, stubborn Er is also loyal, anyway, he is a person worthy of his life.

Ding Tian's interpersonal relationship in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is quite good. Although Wang Kui has accepted Ding Tian's position, Wang Kui knows that it is because he is Wang Zuo's person that he has such a fat job.

Moreover, the jailer of the Ministry of Punishment is a very important position.

So even though he is already a jailer, he still regards himself as a subordinate in front of Ding Tian.

"Young Master Tian, ​​you're gone, so you have to come back to see us often." Wang Kui sent Ding Tian and Wang Zuo out, and naturally respected Wang Zuo very much, but he was really reluctant to Ding Tian: "If you have anything to teach me, you But please don't be shy."

Wang Kui is a smart person, so he naturally knew the importance of Ding Tian, ​​so he also decided to hug Tian Shao's thigh tightly like Jin Buhuan

"Definitely, definitely." Ding Tian never thought that he would not come back after leaving, he still wanted to communicate with the "brother unit".

The guards were also reluctant to part with Ding Tian, ​​especially the four cell bosses, they were even more reluctant.

But this is Gao Sheng, and they have nothing to say, they just hope that Young Master Tian will not forget them in the future.

When Ding Tian returned home with his own things, Wang Zuo gave a very natural touch to the pit: "I asked someone to make sea cucumbers tonight.

"Okay, let's cook sea cucumber with scallions and eat it with steamed buns. It's delicious." Ding Tian thought for a while: "I'll let the kitchen make a stewed chicken with mushrooms... 〇,,

He took a sip of his saliva.

"There is also the stewed four whites, eat something light." Wang Zuo suggested: "Don't eat too greasy."

"Succeed, stew Sibai good stuff." Ding Tian changed his clothes: "I'm going to the kitchen to cook a pot."

The combination of the two people's dinner made Wang Laole frown. The nutritious roasted sea cucumber with scallions and stewed chicken with mushrooms were put together, and next to it, there was a large pot of stewed four whites and a plate of steamed buns with two noodles. What match?

Fortunately, the two of them ate quite happily.

Wang Zuo lived here at night. Although Ding Tian's title is General Fuguo, his house used to be the mansion of a county prince.

, so the place is big, and now Wang Zuo doesn't hide it anymore, and even the guards, guards of honor, personal guards, and regular attendants who came with Wang Zuo have a place to live.

Wang Fugui is here, and there is also a private room for him to rest. He usually eats here in Dingtian. There are only two stoves for cooking for the big guys. .

Waking up the next morning, after breakfast, Wang Zuo took Ding Tian, ​​put on a guard of honor, and grandly... went to the north gate.

Shenwumen is the north gate of the imperial palace.

There are bells and drums in Shenwumen, which correspond to the bell and drum towers, and are used to tell the time.But when the emperor was in the palace, the bell on the Shenwu Gate did not ring.There are three gates on the platform of the city. The emperor and empress walk through the main gate in the middle, and concubines, officials, guards, eunuchs and craftsmen all enter and exit through the gates on both sides.

However, the scriptures of Shenwumen have a big name called "Xuanwumen". Tang Taizong's "Xuanwumen Change" was so famous, and later the palace was built. It became the "Shenwumen".

Otherwise, every generation of the royal family will come to a "Xuanwumen", so it's okay?

Ding Tian was led by Wang Zuo and entered the palace from the Shenwu Gate, but he didn't drive straight in. Instead, he was led to the left and entered the gate, then went straight to the turret in the northwest corner.

It turned out that the palace was called "Tianlao", and the whole palace was the Tianlao.

The entire palace has four entrances, the first entrance is a gate with the word "Heavenly Prison" hanging on it, and the mighty imperial guards standing on both sides

There are also eight concierges on duty, lined up along the gate, quite imposing.

Entering the palace, there are five main halls in a row. These five main halls are empty. Wang Zuo told him: "This is a place for receiving the emperor. No one is qualified to live in these five main halls."

"Oh, it's just so empty?" Ding Tian clicked his tongue: "It's a waste."

?? This is respect, not waste. "Wang Zuole said: "There are five main halls, three side halls on each side, and six wing rooms, which are for your subordinates to work in. You can use the wing rooms in the main hall for office work. The place is large, the environment is good, and the ventilation is good. The effect is also good. "

Ding Tian looked around, although it was a little deserted, it was definitely the standard of the palace, with carved beams and painted buildings, blue bricks and green tiles, oh, the glazed tiles used in the palace.

Wang Zuo also pointed to the [-] internal eunuchs and [-] court ladies standing on the square and said, "This is your subordinate〇"

Thirty internal eunuchs, each with big arms and round waists; fifty palace daughters... all of them are not said to be beautiful, but it can be seen that they are all elderly people, at least forty years old, but they are also strong and strong, but the palace The life here makes them look younger, maybe it's because they eat well?They are also very strong, similar to the healthy women from wealthy families outside, there are not many good-looking ones, and it is normal to have a fleshy face.

"They're all... people from the palace?" Ding Tian took a look and found that they were either eunuchs or palace maids.

"No, there are thirty imperial guards waiting at the door, but they are usually used inside, cleaning and cleaning." Wang Zuo said: "And there are some prisoners, it is not appropriate for others to contact, there are eunuchs and maids, they will Much more convenient."

"Oh." Ding Tian nodded: "You are right."

There is a large square in the second entrance, where the maids and eunuchs are standing, and there are two large side yards in the second entrance, which are the residences of the maids and eunuchs, and one is called the east courtyard, which is the residence of the eunuchs. One is the west courtyard, which is the residence of the court ladies.

There are also five main halls in the second entrance, which are the places where prisoners are held, because the doors and windows are erected with iron and wooden fences, which look like prison regulations, rather than the carved doors and windows in the palace.

The same is true of the five main halls with three entrances, and even the side halls have relatively high-end prison cells.

The layout of the four entrances is still the same, but the things in the four entrances should be more detailed. Wang Zuo told him: "This is the place where female prisoners are held, and so is the back hall, it's just better."

"I've seen it for a long time. Although this is also the range of the imperial palace, it is a very deserted place. Walking in from the outside, next to the gate, there is another tower, which is the commanding height. Put two cannons, there is no one hundred thousand. [-] people attacked the city, but none of them could get in." Ding Tian pointed to the bell tower: "Is there a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening?"

"So powerful?" Wang Zuo rubbed his chin: "Next time at the tower, put four cannons!"

Just looking at the appearance is not enough, Wang Zuo even took Ding Tian to look at the basement floor.

"And the basement?" Ding Tian became interested: "What is it? I put potatoes, cabbage and radishes in the basement of the criminal prison, oh, and onions, green onions and other vegetables."

"The underground floor here is the dungeon." Wang Zuo knew that he had misunderstood when he saw him like that: "The dungeon is a place where important prisoners are held. The emperor said that when you first came, those people were all dealt with. Now this In the dungeon, it’s clean and there’s nothing there.”

On the basement floor, there are vents and light coming in, so it's not damp at all.

The entire underground is connected, a corridor, with light, but more oil lamps embedded on the walls, and rows of single rooms that are the same size as bachelor apartments and do not exceed [-] square meters.

There is a very simple and common canopy bed in the single room, but there is no bedding on it.

Four large and small embroidered screens, in the shape of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The washbasin, footbath, and bath tub are all available, and there is also a simple clothes rack for hanging clothes. Compared with Ding Tian's first visit to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the prison is not only clean, but also very complete. The main thing is that they are all single rooms.

At the back of the women's cell, there are "luxury" furnishings such as screens, door curtains, and incense vases.

"You have two positions for assistants. One is not exchanged for gold, and the other is for whom are you going to give it? Also, there are a few imperial physicians stationed here. You can choose which imperial physician to come here." Wang Zuo said: "There is still Pharmacy, you can set up one here, but it must be managed by someone you can trust..."

Ding Tian found that there were quite a lot of rumors in the prison that day. Although it seemed that the work was easy, but when he actually did it, he realized that it was not easy here.

"I'll go back and think about it." Ding Tian came today to find out the way. Wang Zuo personally brought him to meet the guards of the Imperial Forest Army. It seems that they are still the guards here. Maybe the Imperial Guards are guarding in turn, but there are only four guards. , take turns to be on duty on weekdays, but they are here today. It is estimated that Wang Zuo greeted Ding Tian in advance. These four people paid respects to Ding Tian seriously. At that time, I didn't know what to call when we met.

Author's gossip: Fanwai ha, but the title of the volume can't be changed, so it will be changed to an extra chapter, everyone understands a thing or two.
