Changchun Garden always seemed so quiet at night, in the days before it was even as quiet as a cemetery. No... It's not like, this is really a cemetery. After the little emperor committed suicide, all the eunuchs and maids in Taiji Palace and the people from Jinyi School were secretly executed by Yang Jian in Changchun Garden, and some of them were buried in this quiet place.
Fang Jie has restarted the construction of the mausoleum of Emperor Tianyou of the Sui Dynasty, and at the same time started the construction of the mausoleum of the young emperor Yang Chengqian. The source of this money is partly paid directly by the Black Banner Army, and partly... In a few days, another group of officials in Chang'an City will be confiscated, which is also a large amount of money.
This is something that Fang Jie has already promised Yang Qinyan, so he will not go back on his word.
After the little emperor's mausoleum is built, the bones buried in Changchun Garden will also be taken out and buried in the little emperor's tomb. Although this is not necessarily the most suitable destination for them, at least it is a kind of respect for them.
After the Eldest Princess Yang Qinyan escaped, the Iron Armored Army no longer sealed the place tightly. Wei Mu transferred back the Iron Armored Army guarding the garden, so the remaining people in the garden were lucky enough to survive. The most surprising thing is that even the maids before the eldest princess are still alive. Wei Mu is a very strange person. When he kills, he is like a ferocious beast, capable of slaughtering a whole street. But for these servants and civilians, they seem to be quite tolerant.
Such a character may be related to the perennial depression.
People who live in this garden say that they can often hear crying at night, as if the ghosts buried in the ground are talking. Because the Iron Armored Army withdrew, many servants in the garden fled, and most of them were homeless at all, so they still lived here.
It's just that at night, no one dared to go out of the room.
Fang Jie didn't know if there were ghosts in this world, and he didn't have any fear.
He didn't choose to live in Qionglu not because he was afraid of ghosts, but because there were too many shadows of God Bless Emperor Yang Yi here. Fang Jie always felt that although the emperor was vicious, he was not lacking in something worthy of respect. The empty dome was also a nostalgia for this emperor who dared to fight against fate.
He lives in a two-story wooden building on the north side of Hechi, which used to be the private library of the Emperor Changchun Garden, but most of the precious books here have been taken out and sold by the servants here. For a long time, they were a group of "orphans" that no one cared about.
No one pays attention to them, they can't let themselves starve to death.
There are still some books left in the building, which is one of the reasons why Fang Jie chose this place. Collecting books has always been one of Fang Xie's few hobbies. In his spare time, he divides his time into two parts, one part is used to be with his family, and the other part is used for reading. He has no taboo in reading, and he can read anything that has words.
"My lord, it's done."
Chen Xiaoru pushed open the door and came in, lowered his head and explained to the other party.
Fang Jie didn't raise his head, nor did he change his expression. This matter became within his expectations, if the Xiaoqi school can't even do this well, then it really failed him to attach so much importance to it. It is impossible for those people in the court to stay, and it is impossible to slaughter some of them pretending to be crazy like Wei Mu. Kill people, but also kill so that the rest of the people can't find fault.
"Lou Kongyu, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, Duan Chun, Minister of Dali Temple, Wu Hao, Minister of the Criminal Ministry, Pei Dazhi, the Chancellor of the Chang'an Mansion...these four people instigated the gangsters in the city to make trouble, and the arresters of the Chang'an Mansion have already confessed. Always secretly wrote letters to Gao Kaitai, taking advantage of the military chaos and poor people to occupy many houses..."
Chen Xiaoru paused for a moment: "But these are not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Yang Jian ordered all the men of the Yang family to be arrested in Chang'an City, and it was these four who were executed. Yang Jian brought these Yang family men into custody. His descendants have left Chang'an City, and these people are all dead."
Fang Jie nodded: "Only this one is enough."
Fang Jie took a soldier talisman from the table case and handed it to Chen Xiaoru: "Let Qilin lead the people from the barracks and the people from the Xiaoqi School to fight together. These four people are just an introduction... Anyone who has a close relationship with Yang Jian when Yang Jian was in charge of the government will be taken." Next. Although it has been rumored that General Iron Armor is about Yang Jian, neither I nor the eldest princess will admit it is true. Therefore, General Iron Armor is a heinous traitor who forced the Emperor of Sui to death and took control of the government. After you go back, talk to Qilin discusses the deployment, and we will work together after midnight tonight, so as not to slip through the net."
Chen Xiaoru clasped his fists: "Don't worry, my lord, the list of subordinates has been drawn up."
He slipped the list out of his cuff and handed it over, but Fang Jie didn't even read it: "Go."
Chen Xiaoru leaned over to say goodbye.
This night, Chang'an City could not be quiet.
Naturally, Fang Jie didn't intend to avenge the Yang family, it was just a reason. It is also the most upright and irrefutable reason, colluding with rebellion to force the emperor to kill the palace servants and imprisoning the princess... Of these crimes, which one is not a felony to destroy the nine clans
So Fang Jie didn't plan to sleep tonight.
He has to wait.
After the Xiaoqi school and the personal barracks take people out, some people will lose their temper. Someone would come to the Changchun Garden overnight to intercede, Fang Jie wanted to see how much he could gain.
…
…
The city of Chang'an has a radius of a hundred miles, even if the personal barracks and Xiaoqi school are used, it cannot cover all of them. However, the courtiers in power are all to be taken down, and these people often live together together. After Fang Jie's military order came down, Qilin led the personal battalion of 3,000 elite soldiers out of the camp in the dark, and then divided into groups of 300 people to carry out the order. Almost all members of the Xiaoqi School were mobilized to maintain law and order in Chang'an City in addition to arresting important criminals.
Not only them, but even Xiang Qingniu's gangsters also took action. These big shots are surrounded by masters to protect them, and they will be needed to suppress them if they really make a move. There is nothing to worry about when the old Taoists of Youqiguan sit in town.
Xiaoqi School Yamen
brightly lit
All the several thousand households in Chang'an City had arrived, and in the small courtyard where Dutong Chen Xiaoru lived, officials from more than a hundred households almost crowded the courtyard. Everyone looked solemn, because everyone knew that today's battle was very important.
Chen Xiaoru stood in front of everyone and glanced at them: "You all know very well that this is the first major thing our Xiaoqi School did after entering Chang'an City. After this incident, no one in Chang'an City knows the reputation of Xiaoqi School. My lord wants It’s just that our Xiaoqi school put up a signboard, so you don’t need to worry about the consequences, just go and get people. Back then, the Ouchi Guards Department never had such power, and they wouldn’t arrest so many important court officials overnight. Remember, This right is bestowed upon us by the lord, whoever fails the lord will not be tolerated in the Xiaoqi School, he will not be tolerated in the Black Banner Army, and the world will not tolerate him."
"Speaking of which...you should all be thankful. You don't need to fight for your own destiny after following the lord into Chang'an City. Because the lord has paved the way for you, how bright your future is depends on how you do things."
"I have already distributed the arrest plan, and each household will take the lead. When the sun rises tomorrow morning, all criminals must be brought to justice!"
"Here!"
Everyone responded loudly.
"Go!"
Chen Xiaoru said: "I am waiting for you here, the most glorious moment of Xiaoqi School is coming!"
Several thousand households turned around and left with their subordinates. Not long after, teams of Xiaoqi schools came out of the yamen. In the night, they looked like ants looking for food coming out of an ant's nest.
At the same time, Qilin has also set off with the troops from the pro-barracks.
Changchun Garden
Fang Jie was sitting behind the desk holding a book and reading it quietly, the candlelight shone on his handsome face flickering on and off. This book is a chapter-style novel that was most common during the Dazheng period, most of which were folklore modified and used to rehearse into a play. Zheng Guo's operas are extremely prosperous, and many operas are still being performed in theaters.
It's a story about revenge, and it's corny. After the former prince was destroyed, he escaped from death through untold hardships. In order to avenge his dead parents, he chose another path after trying to gather strength to restore the country and failed. He entered the palace and became a eunuch, and the process was naturally tortuous and bizarre. Relying on his erudite knowledge and experience when he was a prince, after more than ten years of hard work, he finally became the most trusted person around the emperor. Then he encouraged the emperor to appoint the most ineffective son as the crown prince. In the end, the ineffective son trusted him even more after succeeding to the throne, and then...in just a few years, the people became full of resentment and rioted everywhere.
The story seemed familiar, so Fang Xie couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Whether it is the past life or the present life, such stories are not lacking.
"Report."
Ma Lilian, who was in charge of reporting the news to Fang Jie in time tonight, came in from the outside, clasped her fists and leaned over: "Lou Kongyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Wu Hao, the servant, has been captured."
"Report, Dali Temple Minister Duan Chun has been arrested and brought to justice."
"Report, Qin Yan, the imperial envoy of Yushitai, took it and brought him to justice."
"Report, Xin Jiu, the Minister of Rites, brought him to justice."
"Report..."
Throughout the second half of the night, people kept coming in to deliver news, and Ma Lilian kept coming in to report to Fang Jie. Every time she came in, she would take a peek at Fang Jie, but found that the protagonist she was familiar with but increasingly felt strange hadn't changed at all emotionally. He seems to be immersed in that dull novel, forgetting that his life is more exciting.
"sit down."
When she was in a trance, she suddenly heard Fang Jie's words, which startled her.
"The night wind outside is gradually getting colder. You are tired from standing all the time. Just sit down in the room and let them come in and report directly. I heard that you left too many injuries when you were in the northwest. Every time the weather comes When it’s not good, there will still be pain. Most of the medical officers in the army are men, and you don’t want to let them go for diagnosis and treatment. You were injured on the battlefield before, and you forced yourself to bandage and apply medicine... I will send someone to send it to you. How many times have you used the elixir of Daomen Peiyuan Complex, can you use it?"
"without… "
Ma Lilian replied subconsciously, a little flustered. She kept all those pills in her jewelry box. Since she put on the military uniform, she no longer needs those pig treasure accessories. She would often take out those pills to have a look, but she was not willing to eat one.
Fang Jie raised his head to look at her, and quickly lowered his head to focus on the book again.
"If it's hard work... I will let go of the errands of Xiaoqi School..."
Fang Jie didn't say anything after that. After waiting for a while, Ma Lilian pursed her lips and shook her head, so stubbornly: "It's not hard work, I like this job. I've been used to going through life and death with those guys over the years, maybe I don't like it when I'm free. adapt."
Fang Jie was startled, speechless for a long time.
