Chapter 495: Complaint
In the west of the Imperial City of the Great Jin Dynasty, the White Tiger is the main killer and sits in the west, so a large area of palaces and pavilions in the west is where the military headquarters of the Great Jin Dynasty is located.
In the northwest corner of the military headquarters of the Great Jin Dynasty, a very remote single courtyard, isolated from the main building of the military headquarters with a very high wall, covers an area of about a courtyard of 100 acres of land, which is the Imperial City Terracotta Division.
Once upon a time, the Imperial City Terracotta Division was also an extremely prominent location.
For example, when Sima Wuwu was the god emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division was directly under the jurisdiction of the God Emperor, with four forbidden armies in the east, west, south and north, and even the twelve guards of Anyang City, and even a full-time man responsible for the daily security, patrol and arrest affairs of Anyang City and the surrounding hundreds of states.
How powerful and powerful the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division was at that time, needless to say, let's just say that the twelve sets of Zhou Tian Xingchen armor that are now in the hands of Wu Tie are the special armor of the commander of the twelve guards of Anyang City.
And the thirty-six Four Spirit Battleships, at that time, were the main flagships of the Forbidden Army of the Southeast, Northwest and Four Gardens!
It's just that the world has changed, six thousand years ago, the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty changed drastically, so the prince led people to rebel out of the Great Jin Dynasty, Sima Wuwu abdicated, Sima Xian sat on the throne of the God Emperor, so that the fox Qingqing and the ram rose once, and the power of the courtiers overrode the dignity of the God Emperor.
The Four Yuan Forbidden Army, only the oldest Dongyuan Forbidden Army, which represents the origin of the Great Jin Dynasty, is still retained; the Twelve Wei Army has long since disappeared: as for the inspection army that once ran rampant in Anyang and the surrounding hundreds of states, and had the power to cut down the officials below the third grade, it has also been blown away by the rain and wind, withering like yesterday's yellow flowers.
Today's Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division is full of birds.
"Shhh
The gate of the Imperial City's Terracotta Division Yamen was half-open and half-closed, and several men wearing black suits with gold medals hanging from their waists, obviously not having a low rank, sat on the bench at the door, leaning against the door wall, snoring with their eyes closed.
In the spacious courtyard inside the door, someone really sprinkled a lot of millet in the courtyard, and held up a large saro with a radius of several feet, doing the boring work of catching birds.
The round gauze robe was held up by a thin wooden stick more than three feet high, and below it was golden millet. A thin rope was put on a wooden stick, and the rope dozens of zhang long was pulled all the way to the verandah on the east side of the courtyard, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark purple robe and no hat was lying under the verandah.
A few strong men who also had gold medals on their waists and should have the title of General of the Great Jin Dynasty squatted under the verandah with a smile on their faces, quietly watching their top bosses play with birds here.
What else?
If you don't set a finch...... There is no official business, let alone official correspondence, and it is even more impossible for the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division to be involved in the military affairs of the military department next door, even if they want to meddle in the daily security work of Anyang Mansion, they have no authority.
What else can you do besides playing with birds?
Today's commander of the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses, the dignified 'Xuan King' Sima Zhi is a person with a bottom line, and he can't do the bottomless and undisciplined deeds of drinking and having fun when he sits in the hall and goes to work.
Therefore, Sima Zhi can only play with the finch.
In this regard, Sima Zhi famously said: "It is not the finches who are lonely, but a feeling of worrying about the country and the people...... If you take a sparrow alone and fry the wine, how much grain can you save for the farmers who farm outside Anyang every year?"
Under the net, there are already seven different species of finches jumping and playing, pecking at the golden millet.
Several generals of the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses clenched their fists hard, silently cheering for their own commanders, wishing that he would quickly pull the rope and put these finches into the net.
But they also know that Sima Zhi still has a bit of a quirk.
He catches the finch, and each net must be an even number before he pulls the rope...... Singular, not in pairs, Sima Zhi will never pull the rope. If the finches trapped in a net are singular, Sima Zhi will have at least three or five days of restless sleep and food, and he will not think about tea and dinner.
"One more...... One more...... Tsk, another ...... Just a ......" Sima Zhi's eyes widened, staring directly at the finches under the net, and kept whispering.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the Imperial City's Soldiers and Horses, and the finches under the nets neighed and screamed, flapping their wings in embarrassment and trying to escape.
The net set up by Sima Zhi was huge, and these finches fluttered their wings and tried to escape, but they hit their heads in the net, causing the net to shake violently.
Sima Zhi's fingers trembled, and she pulled the rope violently.
The wooden stick fell, the net was buckled, and Sima Zhi jumped up violently, looking at the five desperately fluttering finches under the net with a distorted face.
Seven finch, two ran, only five remained!
Singular!
"Lord Wang, it's singular!" a general cautiously raised his right hand and muttered to Sima Zhi in a low voice.
"Heh, hehe...... Singular!" Sima Zhi tilted his head to look at the finches under the net, a round of red light appeared behind him, his body trembled slightly, and the entire courtyard was enveloped in a scorching heat.
"Great Commander, Lord Wang, you have to call the shots for our Dongyuan Forbidden Army!" Dozens of generals of the Dongyuan Forbidden Army slammed open the gate of the Imperial City's Soldiers and Horses Division and broke in in stride.
Then, these people looked at Sima Zhi with a distorted face, and then looked at the five finches desperately fluttering under the net, and the group all obediently closed their mouths.
The commander of the Imperial City's Soldiers and Horses, and the little hobby of Xuan Wang Sima Zhi is not a secret in the entire Anyang City.
Everyone also knows that this prince has some quirks.
The finches in the net must be even...... Who made him a singular number, hehe!
"You, dad is dead?" Sima Zhi dropped the rope in his hand and tilted his head to look at the group of forbidden army generals who suddenly broke in.
A group of people shook their heads desperately.
"So, your mother is dead?" Sima Zhi's voice fluttered violently.
A group of forbidden army generals shook their heads again, and their movements were uniform, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
"Hehe, your father and mother are both complete, your own mother-in-law didn't put on a bright green hat for you, right?" Sima Zhi smiled.
The Praetorian generals took two steps back in unison and laughed dryly at the same time.
"Since there is none, and it is not the time to pay salaries at the end of the month, what are you doing here?" Sima Zhi jumped to his feet and roared: "Wrong, he-mother-of, all the military expenses of the Dongyuan Forbidden Army are all allocated to you at the beginning of each year, and you have not been on duty in the Imperial City for more than two years......
"Did you come here today on purpose to touch the lonely mold?"
Sima Zhi roared hysterically.
On the high wall behind the verandah, a few middle-level civil officials from the military headquarters climbed the wall and looked over the courtyard with their heads probed.
"Hey, five, five, hey. β
"Singular, this is singular!"
"Beat them, Lord Xuan, beat them...... This group of blind-eyed things has disturbed you Yaxing and beaten them!"
Several civilian officials from the military department chuckled quietly.
Immediately afterwards, a high-ranking official wearing dark purple and lilac robes, obviously at the level of a bigwig of the military department, secretly poked his head out of the wall. They shrunk their heads and watched the movement here, laughing silently one by one.
Sima Zhi heard movement coming from the wall behind him, and his face became more and more distorted.
He looked at the five finchmen in the net, stretched out his hand, and his five fingers spewed out almost substantial flames, making a gesture to slap them down, but after a pause, he withdrew his hand, gritted his teeth and walked to the net, and opened the net, allowing the five desperately struggling finchmen to escape from life.
"This time, it doesn't count, it doesn't count, come back next time, come back next time. Sima Zhi clasped her hands together, put them on her chest and muttered for a while, shaking her head vigorously: "Cultivate your mind, cultivate your nature, don't get angry, don't get angry...... Come on, ascend to the church!"
Sima Zhi suddenly jumped to his feet and roared, and his face turned red and roared: "Come on, ascend to the hall, first take down this group of fools who left their posts and left the station without permission, and beat each of them a hundred ...... No, five hundred...... No, a thousand military sticks!"
'Dang, bang, bang'!
Strange voices came from all over the Imperial City's Terracotta Division.
A number of disheveled Imperial City soldiers and horses trotted out of the halls, some fell to the ground with swords, some collided with each other, and some were sleepy-eyed and hit their heads on the pillars of the verandah.
Stumbling all the way, dragging mud and water, more than 100 officials ran in front of Sima Zhi.
"Take it, take it, fight, fight, rip off the armor and battle robe, hit hard, hit hard, fight hard, fight hard, fight to the death......" Sima Zhi pointed at the generals of the forbidden army who were full of dirt and shouted: "As long as you don't die, you will be beaten to death...... Hey, wait!"
"This, this, and this, they are the brothers of the lonely concubine, the lonely wife's uncle, so-so, let them go, don't fight the three of them, the others, fight to death!"
On the wall, there are more and more military officials watching the excitement.
They watched as dozens of generals of the Dongyuan Forbidden Army were pressed to the ground crying, ripping off their armor and battle robes, revealing their white or black buttocks, and the heavy pure metal military sticks with a dull sound of breaking the air, and hit them hard.
These generals of the Dongyuan Forbidden Army...... When have you ever suffered like this?
The sound of military sticks shook the sky, dozens of generals were beaten to the skin, ghosts cried wolves, some even cried bitterly, begged for mercy loudly, and some people were directly beaten and fainted.
That scene was really tragic, and people were sad and crying for them.
One by one, the officials of the military department held back a smile and pointed in this direction.
Immediately afterwards, a number of spies from the military department had returned to the military compound, bringing the news they had inquired about, and soon, the military department up and down, from the first rank general to the ninth rank of the junior official, and even the non-grade officials, all knew the tragic experience of these Dongyuan forbidden army generals.
These guys, who were freshly baked celebrities, the Duke of Yuzhou who was sealed by Sima Xianqin, and Huo Xiong, the captain of Dongyuan, were driven out of Dongyuan in addition to their military status?
From Sun Buai's illness to the soldiers below, all the generals, officers, and low-level officers and soldiers, more than 100,000 people, were all fired?
"More than 100,000 people...... "Hehe", a military general 'hehe' laughed: "Dongyuan Forbidden Army, that's a good position, no wonder they want to come to sue." β
But in an instant, the face of the general of this military department changed suddenly.
The officials from top to bottom of the military department, all of them looked at me and I looked at you, and their faces became extremely delicate.
"One hundred and twenty years ago, His Majesty Zuo Xiangming once again reduced the establishment of the Dongyuan Forbidden Army...... Rao is like this, the Dongyuan Forbidden Army should still have a million soldiers! How can it be ruled and dismissed more than 100,000 people? There are still nearly 900,000 soldiers?" The military general who had just laughed looked at many colleagues around him with floating eyes.
"Eat empty salary?" said a first-class general of the military department softly to himself.
"Or the forbidden army?" the other second-rank general narrowed his eyes.
"I, the Great Jin, the last forbidden army directly under the royal family, was actually eaten ninety percent of the empty salary?" A civil official from the Cardinal Hall of the Military Department said softly: "If I remember correctly, the previous captain of Dongyuan was from the East Palace?"
"This ...... After all, the Dongyuan Forbidden Army is directly under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division, and our Criminal Law Department has no right to supervise him, so over the years, the Criminal Law Department has not restrained the Dongyuan Forbidden Army. A high-ranking official of the Criminal Law Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs jumped up as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "Military law is corrupt...... The structure of our Criminal Law Division is obviously unable to deter lawless people in the military. β
The senior official of the Criminal Law Department widened his eyes and said, "I strongly recommend that the Criminal Law Department of the Military Department be upgraded to the Criminal Law Palace!"
The senior military officials were stunned, and at the same time 'puffed' at this guy, and then turned around and left.
The Dongyuan Forbidden Army had an accident, and the prince of the East Palace was involved...... This thing...... It's like a bloody piece of big fat that immediately arouses the powerful appetite of these military predators!
Sima Zhi stood in the courtyard of the Imperial City's Terracotta Division, and he glanced back sharply at the wall behind him.
On the wall, the officers of the military headquarters retreated, and they all went to work in full swing.
Sima Zhi's eyes darkened slightly, he closed his eyes, and then took a deep breath.
"Enough, don't fight, if you fight again, you'll really be killed. Come, tell me what happened?"
Sima Zhi held his hands behind his back, swayed step by step, and walked slowly towards the lobby of the Imperial City, which was a little old and had not been repaired for several years.
A group of spanked, bloody, thigh-blooded Praetorian generals were dragged into the lobby and then slammed to the ground.
A quarter of an hour later, Sima Zhi, who had listened to the cries of the generals of the forbidden army, shook his head gently.
"Then Huo Xiong, did you really kill that kid from the Luo family with one punch?"
"Hey, that kid from the Luo family...... His father and Lonely, there is still a bit of friendship, when we were young, we visited the kiln together. Sima Zhi sighed heavily: "Poor, pitiful, why was he killed?"
"Yuzhou Gong is so ruthless, it's really ...... It's too ruthless. β
Sima Zhi shook her head, took out two pieces of gold from her sleeve, and handed them to a master beside her: "Oh, take it, when the Luo family is at the funeral, remember to give Gu Gu a piece of incense, candles, paper and money or something." Hey, Yuzhou Gong is so heavy, it's really, too ruthless. β
With a snap of his mouth, Sima Zhi shook his head: "Okay, this matter, Lone knows...... Go back, go back, look at your poor appearance of flesh and blood, it's so pitiful...... If you go back to cultivate your life, you must not save the cost of decoction and medicine, you must use good medicine. β
"You are young, don't be reluctant to use good medicine, when the time comes, you will have the root of the disease, and when you are old, you will know that it is powerful. β
Sima Zhi chattered for a while, then stood up, looked at the sky outside the lobby, and suddenly clapped her hands with a smile: "Miaozai, noon is here, according to the custom, take a lunch break for two hours...... Lonely in the corner of the street Yutang Spring set two tables of swallow wing seats, go, go, beautiful wine and food, not to be disappointed!"
More than a dozen of the top figures in the Imperial City's Soldiers and Horses, both civil and military attachΓ©s, all had slightly bulging bellies, and followed Sima Zhi out of the lobby with a smile.
The generals of the Dongyuan Forbidden Army were stunned.
Utterly messy in the wind.
"Lord Wang...... You're going to call the shots for us!" cried out dozens of generals as if they were mourning.
Sima Zhi trotted away, and ran directly out of the Imperial City's Soldiers and Horses Yamen, and ran away without a trace.
