The Imperial City of Chang'an is large-scale, and the hundreds of officials are distributed in it, although it looks a little dilapidated due to the lack of popularity for a long time, but the pattern still seems much more atmospheric than the Imperial City of Shendu.

Although the turmoil in Xijing was turbulent before, those small people did not dare to easily attack the Imperial City Suzaku Gate, in addition to still being in awe in their hearts, it was also because the Imperial City was under the protection of the officials and soldiers left behind.

When King Yong's garrison was on the bar, the officials of the left-behind mansion urgently ordered a group of people from the Great Inner Palace and slaves to repair and sort out the imperial city, so the current imperial city is still clean and tidy.

Located in the political hall of the province under the gate of the imperial city, it is the place where King Yong received a group of officials in Xijing. Although there is a more suitable outer court nearby, Li Tong is not overly arrogant at the moment, so he can only retreat.

The middle hall of the government hall is large, and it is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people to sit in different seats, but the atmosphere is quite solemn at the moment.

King Yong sat upright in the hall, his serious and cold gaze swept over everyone in the hall, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Who will do things first?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall was even more solemn. The so-called affair, of course, is to bear the responsibility, Xijing made such a big mess, and these local officials naturally could not escape the blame, and they were also tormented during this time.

Especially in the past period of time, King Yong's deeds have been fierce, and since his westward journey, his style has been severe. If anyone still thinks that King Yong is just a handsome and elegant clan with exquisite poetry, it is stupid.

"So, you have nothing to do? Okay, then listen to me! ”

After waiting for a while, no one spoke, Li Tong continued to say in a deep voice: "You wait for the members of Xijing, eat Lu rice empty, stay in office, sit and watch the people of Jinggi make trouble, disturb the temple, and the United is shocked, do you admit this crime?" ”

"The lowly rank admits the responsibility for the crime, and respectfully awaits the Yongwang Palace to lower the punishment and punishment!"

When the people in the hall heard this, they all avoided the table and rose up to plead guilty.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong's face softened slightly, and then he continued: "Since you have pleaded guilty, all the members of Xijing have changed their duties, seized the money for the time being, and Yun'er and others have accumulated things to compensate for their crimes, do you have any objections?" ”

Although everyone knew that the guilt was inevitable, when they heard that King Yong was going to deprive them of all their positions, they couldn't help but change color for a while.

Soon, someone stepped out of the train, clasped his fists and said: "If you are not punished by a low rank, you should be punished." However, there is a distinction between high and low positions, and the culpability will inevitably be measured according to the position. I implore Your Highness to thoroughly examine the severity of the crime, punish the crime, and not lose the righteousness of the justice of the punishment, so that the majesty of the law can be obtained! ”

His voice fell, and someone spoke: "Your Highness is in charge of the axe, and the punishment reward should be punished!" I, the Xijing officials, since we have confessed to the crime, we naturally subjugate the law, vainly trying to be severe, and we have already failed to treat the crime. ”

"Xijing is in turmoil, there are a wide range of people involved, Dou Xuanfu still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and the people are settled at first, and his heart is not at peace. The past has not been resolved happily, and it is really not appropriate to talk about the future now......"

At first, everyone didn't speak, but as King Yong said the plan for dealing with them, everyone couldn't hold back anymore and participated in the discussion.

The many voices can be roughly divided into three categories, one of which believes that it is necessary to judge the severity of the crime and cannot be generalized. One group believes that King Yong is in charge of the knots, so he is qualified to deal with them. On the other hand, they feel that it is far from being convicted and that it is too early to condemn the crime.

These three types of voices basically represent the three different types of officials in Xijing today. Although Xijing is not the center of political power at the moment, it is the core area of the empire after all, and there are more than 200 officials who have entered the court today.

The first type is the palace envoys of the Zhuyuan, Chang'an has two major inner gardens, Zhuinner Garden and Furong Garden and other royal gardens, which need to be managed and maintained.

This kind of palace envoy is not a serious courtier official, and the scope of authority is not large, and they can't manage the turmoil in Xijing even if they want to. Even if the Xijing turmoil was so serious, the palace they supervised did not receive much damage and impact, and if you look at it carefully, it can be regarded as meritorious.

Therefore, they naturally feel that it is a little unfair to generalize them with other officials and dismiss them all.

The second category is the officials of the two counties of Left-behind Mansion, Chang'an, and Wannian, who are serious left-behind officials and undoubtedly bear the main responsibility for the disturbance in Xijing.

When encountering an irascible general manager of the rebellion, he directly detained and beheaded them, and they had nowhere to complain, which was really the most appropriate. Now King Yong is just dismissing them, but he still retains his ability, which is simply merciful, of course, it is to support King Yong's decision. Chinese bar

As for the third category, that is, the officials left behind by various departments, such as the household officials who stayed behind to manage Chang'an Taicang, the Danong, Shaofu and other departments managed Tugong and Yong's transfer, as well as the east and west city supervisors of Chang'an City.

These officials were all sent to Chang'an by the Shendu Baisi, and they were mainly responsible to the Shendu Administration, and their working relationship was not in Chang'an at all. Theoretically, they did not need to be responsible for the turmoil in Chang'an, and King Yong could not control them at all.

Of course, King Yong himself entered the city with a murderous spirit, and they really didn't dare to argue with King Yong in person, they just wanted to delay the matter for a while, waiting for the headquarters of Shendu City to quickly recall them, and they really didn't want to share weal and woe with these unlucky people in Chang'an City.

Hearing everyone's opinions, Li Tong thought about it and continued: "Dou Xuanfu doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he is really sleepy. If he doesn't see him for a day, the court's grace and power will inevitably be weak and dusty, and the Xijing turmoil cannot be traced profoundly. From now on, thoroughly investigate the whole city, search for Dou Xuanfu's whereabouts, see people in life, and see corpses in death! Long safe city, there is no forbidden land, who dares to resist, kill! ”

Speaking of this, he looked around the audience again and said solemnly: "So, do you have any objections?" ”

"No objections! Searching for Dou Xuanfu is a top priority for chaos! ”

The name of Chang'an County is Ma Huaiji, who is in his forties, and it is not bad to be able to mix with the county order of Jingxian County.

But at this time, Ma Xianling's eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy, and he looked more than ten years older than his actual age, and when he heard His Royal Highness King Yong say this, he was even more tearful, and he trembled in his deep worship: "Humble and respectful to His Royal Highness's orders, please lead the officials into the workshop to search!" This humble duty is by no means self-conspiracy, the great sin has been cast, and it is really not a pity to die! Chang'an has many wealthy rooms, Fangqu is a forbidden land, Wupin County members, it is difficult to climb to the top, even if there is a heart of evil, there is no power to capture thieves......"

Speaking of this, the Ma County Commander was already crying, it can be said that he was aggrieved, as if he was a child who had been bullied, and finally found an adult to support him and listen to his complaints.

Hearing such a sad voice from this Ma County Order, Li Tong was also quite emotional for a while.

The so-called evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng, especially the powerful court of Chang'an City, who wants to serve as a county official in this kind of place, must have a strong background and a strong heart. There is not much credit, there are a lot of black pots, and if you are not careful, it will be a disaster.

Over the years, Guan Longxun's flamboyance and arrogance have all been among the top Yuan slave groups in the past dynasties. Even Li Tong led the army to this point, and those people dared to shake their faces and play tricks, so you can imagine how aggrieved these county officials should be.

Speaking from the heart, the turmoil in Xijing City really has little to do with these local officials. The reason why Li Tong threw out such a punishment plan at the beginning seemed to be aggressive, but in fact, he also wanted to protect these magistrates.

In the past two years, if Wu Youyi is also included, the remaining ministers of Chang'an have changed four, and three have directly overturned here. It has only been until now that there has been a disturbance, which shows that these left-behind magistrates are still very capable.

And at present, most of these left-behind officials in Xijing were added last winter, and last year was when the Dou family, Guan Longxungui, was suppressed very ruthlessly, Zheng Rong, who presided over the election, was still Li Tong's person, although not all of them were their own people, but they had little connection with Guan Longxun's group.

It is precisely because of this that when Xijing was in turmoil, a state of almost anarchy and chaos was formed, and the officials of the remaining prefectures and the two counties lost control of the entire city almost instantly.

In the final analysis, they didn't collude with those sitting tigers in Xijing. Those people in Xijing are not all the way with them, and they don't play with them, in such a situation, with only a few dozen officials and hundreds of officials, what can they do to control the situation?

What's more, Li Tong didn't plan to attract too many Guan Longxun's sons to join his team, and Xijing's administrative team still had to be retained as much as possible.

Through all dismissals, it can be regarded as a gesture of favor to them, if they want to live, they have to roll up their sleeves and follow King Yong to work hard. Only by making these wealthy families in Xijing miserable enough can they have the possibility of surviving and making meritorious contributions.

Those palace envoys don't have much right to speak, whether they are in favor of or against King Yong's decree, Li Tong can be regarded as a fart.

As for the officials sent by the Shendu Baisi in Xijing, through this punishment proposal, Li Tong also pointed out a clear way for them, hurry up and get out, Lao Tzu will clean you up on the spot if you are late!

Where Xuanfu made Dou Huairang, of course Li Tong knew, and even knew how many meals Dou Huairang ate and slept for several hours a day. But he didn't plan to release Dou Huairang, so he had to use the excuse of looking for this guy to thoroughly investigate the whole city.

As for saying that those noble families stopped the officials from entering and searching, Li Tong wished they would do so. Even if they quarrel in the court of the gods, Li Tong is not stunned at all, Ma De's group of guys even dare to rob the official treasury, what else dare not be committed?

I suspect that Dou Huairang was robbed by them, just to muddy the water in Xijing, and then rob the official treasury! Don't let you check? Lao Tzu raided the house first, and then searched for people! If you are smart, open your little lady's boudoir, so big that you can hide under the bed!

These officials in Xijing, who have had a hard time in the past month or so, have finally come to the bitter end, and when they wait for a big backer, they are really like wolves and tigers, and they will rush to all parts of the market.
