"Stop it all for General Ben! This is the imperial capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to be presumptuous here? No one was allowed to move, but all those who participated in the brawl were put in prison and awaited treatment. ”

Bands of defenders swarmed in, and in an instant they surrounded the people inside the city gates.

In the city, fights and brawls are actually trivial, and there are many ruffians and hooligans making trouble almost every day. In fact, there are often fights between the people below the various rival parties. It's just that there are not thousands of people who participated in the fight and brawl this time, and in addition, the general flirtatious fights will also avoid the officers and soldiers, and they will not fight at the city gate.

The officers and soldiers came, and Liu Xian and other people who took the absolute initiative also stopped.

And Jiang Bin, he was taken care of by Liu Xian, and he almost wanted to stand up, but he was knocked to the ground by Liu Xian. At this moment, he was already swollen like a pig's head, and his mother was here, and I am afraid she would not recognize him.

"Ahh

Jiang Bin staggered to his feet and spit out a mouthful of blood.

was beaten by Liu Xian so that his head was full of gold stars, and he shook his head hard, widening his swollen eyes, and his vision gradually became clear.

He first glared at Liu Xian angrily, and after his eyes shifted, he saw the people who came with the officers and soldiers and were shouting and reprimanding.

After seeing it clearly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted: "General Gai, General Gai!" It's me, Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin of the General's Mansion. ”

"Huh? Jiang Bin? How did he enter the General's Mansion? ”

The general rode on the war horse, looked down at Jiang Bin, and saw it for a while, and couldn't help frowning: "It's really you, what's wrong?" Don't you know that there are no fights in the city? Anyway, let's go back to Jingzhao Mansion with Gai, don't block the city gate here. ”

"Huh? No...... General Gai, Jiang didn't fight, this, this was beaten. Jiang can swear to the sky, our people from the General's Mansion didn't do it first, they all blame Liu Xian, yes, it's Liu Xian, it's Liu Xian, it's his hand that made the first move for no reason. Jiang Bin distinguished loudly and put all the fault on Liu Xian.

"Really?"

"Yes! Jiang dared to guarantee that Liu Xian was the first to beat Jiang. Jiang Bin swore solemnly.

Liu Xian stood in the middle of the road, not arguing, but turned his head and beckoned to Zhao He.

This Zhao He, when the fight started, he hid to the far side and blended in the crowd of onlookers.

Zhao He really wanted to think that he didn't know Liu Xian, and then let Liu Xian make a big deal here, just so that Liu Xian could make a mistake, and then grab an excuse to put Liu Xian to death. In fact, now Liu Xian is already tantamount to committing a crime, as long as he is arrested and put in prison, then he is not left to their final say?

However, at this time, he couldn't hide if he wanted to, and the two Liu Xian's personal guards had already used swords against his waist.

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Zhao He had to come out and said to the general: "General Gai, our family is Zhao He, the servant in the palace." Let us introduce it, this is Liu Xian of Liu Mansion in Liulin Village, Julu County, that is, the young master of the Liu Mansion caravan outside the city, and also the righteous son of Ma Guiren of the Plains Palace, who was recently named Marquis of Wuyong. Liu Xian's little marquis is a horse nobleman who came to Beijing to serve in Beijing at the behest of the emperor. As soon as he entered the city, Jiang Bin brought people from the General's Mansion to block Liu Xian's little marquis, and he was disrespectful, so he ...... And the fight began. Small things, all small things, you don't need to go to Jingzhao Mansion, right? ”

This General Gai naturally recognized Zhao He, and when he heard this, his forehead wrinkled with a Sichuan character, and his face was even darker than water.

"Humph! Monkey business! You are not ordinary people, one side represents the General's Mansion, and the other side is the people in the palace, and the Hou Ye, what are you doing? If there is any grievance, please settle it privately. Gai was ordered by the emperor to keep the imperial city safe, are you trying to make it difficult for Gai? Let's see if you hurt passers-by or destroyed other people's things during the fight, and give enough compensation to go. If you commit another offense at the hands of this general, you will definitely be put in prison. ”

With a wave of his hand, General Gai asked the officers and soldiers to evacuate the crowd and began to count some of the destroyed shops or vendors on the side of the road.

This General Gai, although he is the general of the city defenders, is a matter of the general's mansion and the eunuchs in the palace. It was beyond his control. As a last resort, he had no choice but to deal with it like this, and did not mention that he would be sent to prison again.

Fortunately, there were no dead people, otherwise it would have been a big deal.

"General Gai, this Liu Xian is the perpetrator, and he should be put in prison......" Jiang Bin couldn't help but shout anxiously after listening to General Gai's handling.

"Shut up! Jiang Bin, this matter is not like this, I will record it and report it to the imperial court, you better go back and ask General He Jin for the guilt. If it is disposed of, it is up to the imperial court to decide. General Gai scolded angrily.

Jiang Bin opened his mouth, saw the anger in General Gai's eyes, and didn't dare to say any more.

He knew General Gai and even drank together, but he was not General He Jin's man. Nominally, General He Jin can naturally mobilize him, but in essence, it is difficult for the city defenders to really intervene even with He Jin.

Liu Xian stepped forward and hugged his fists at this General Gai and said, "General Gai, I'm causing you trouble." I, Liu Xian, entered Beijing for the first time, if it weren't for Jiang Bin......"

"General Ben doesn't want to know about you. Liu Xian is right, what this general wants to tell you is that this is the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, our big Han is a big man with the law, I hope you don't commit any more crimes, otherwise, this general will have to arrest you in prison for questioning. General Gai interrupted Liu Xian's words and looked at Liu Xian deeply: "You can do it yourself." ”

With that, he turned around and left.

After a while, the officers and soldiers counted the losses caused by the fight, and each played 50 boards, which made Jiang Bin and Liu Xian lose money.

Jiang Bin and the others suffered a big loss and left angrily.

And Liu Xian was able to enter the city.

As he walked, he asked Zhao Hedao, who led the way: "Lord Zhao, who is this General Gai?" ”

"General Gai Li, is the nephew of Yin Gaixun of Jingzhao Mansion."

"Oh? Can you tell us more about them? ”

Liu Xian really didn't know anything about the Luoyang capital, the entire Han capital, the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and the officials at all levels of various departments, I am afraid that these would add up to hundreds or even thousands.

In the words of later generations in the capital, if you just take a brick and throw it over, it may be a certain official in Beijing. It's the same capital here, so Liu Xian estimates that the situation is really similar. At least there will be more royal relatives and nobles.

It doesn't matter if you haven't encountered it, since you have encountered it, and the generals of the city defenders are also worth Liu Xian to understand.

"Hmph, what do they have to say? That Gai Xun is not in Beijing at the moment, and he is still fighting in Xiliang. After he was named Jing Zhao Yin by the emperor, he did not return to take office, but sent his nephew Gaili back. Well, it's almost there. ”

Zhao He didn't want to say much, so he casually dealt with Liu Xian, pointed to a courtyard in front of him, and walked over quickly.

However, Zhao He didn't say it, but Liu Xian had already read some information about Gai Xun in his mind.

Gai Xun, the character is solid. Dunhuang County Guangzhi County people, the late Eastern Han Dynasty famous general. He once served as the magistrate of Hanyang County in Liangzhou, moved to Hanyang Taishou, and later entered the dynasty as a lieutenant to capture the school, and was quite trusted by Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and served as Jingzhaoyin.

Gai Xun was born in a family of eunuchs in Liangzhou, and was promoted as filial piety when he was young. From his great-grandfather Gaijin, the official to the Han Dynasty Hanyang County Taishou; His grandfather, Gai Biao, was an official to the Han Dynasty; His father was the commander of the state of stability. Later, his son Gai Shun was still Yongyang Taishou.

It can be said that this Gai Xun is indeed a Hanchen with strong roots, plus Gai Xun himself, it can also be said that he is upright, not afraid of power, impartiality, and not afraid of life and death. It is a rare thing that the emperor admires him very much and attaches great importance to trusting him.

Or to put it this way, the city defenders may be the only force that the emperor can really grasp. The military power of the city defenders must not be sidelined, even if those eunuchs want to interfere, or the powerful people in the DPRK and China, relatives and a party, etc., are not allowed to interfere in the city defenders. Historically, only people who were truly loyal to the Han Dynasty and loyal to the emperor could possibly take up the post of Jing Zhaoyin.

Before this Killun, Jing Zhaoyin was Yang Biao. Yang Biao is the father of Yang Xiu, and he is also an old minister who is extremely loyal to the Han family.

Today, although it is a bit ridiculous, it is not useless. At least, he did want to work hard, and when he got rid of the Dou brothers and sisters at that time, it should be regarded as the most glorious and wise period of the current emperor. At that time, he did receive the sincere assistance of many real direct ministers and loyal ministers. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to sit on the throne.

Nowadays, it is also clear that those loyal ministers and direct ministers are the real cornerstone of the Han Dynasty. It is precisely because he knows that in many cases, although he does not like some truly loyal and upright ministers, he will not really kill them all. For example, Cai Yong, who was exiled, and those party members who were banned by the party, actually opened up to many people, and Lu Zhi not long ago, those eunuchs did want Lu Zhi to die, but they were finally released. also includes Huangfu Song, although he was removed from the post of Jizhou pastor, he was still appointed.

The Emperor was well aware of the importance of the city defenders, so he had to be a trusted courtier to be the commander of the city defenders.

The city defenders were under the control of Jing Zhaoyin and directly obeyed the emperor's orders.

It can be said that even the forbidden army of the imperial palace is difficult for the emperor to master, but he can control the city defenders.

The Han army was composed of the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army, the Beijing Garrison, as well as the Beijing City Army, the Border Army, and the officers and soldiers of the local government.

In addition, there was the Yulin Army, which was the army of the emperor himself. But now the Han Dynasty has almost no establishment of this Yulin Army, and has long been subsumed into the Jingcheng Army.

The Jingcheng City Army is actually the army guarding the outskirts of the capital. Now it is naturally under the command of He Jin.

In general, the city defenders are extremely important, and they are related to the safety of the capital.

Liu Xian felt that if he had the opportunity, he really had to get acquainted with the generals of these city defenders, which would definitely not be a bad thing for him.

Zhao He took Liu Xian and his party to a courtyard that was not too big and looked a little dilapidated.

Plains Palace!

Most of the palaces are located in a specific area in the north of the city, where the powerful are represented. Of course, it doesn't mean that it has to be there, except for the emperor's grant, the general imperial relatives and relatives, they can actually choose their own palace, as long as it is owned by the palace and suitable for their status, with the permission of the emperor, they can indeed choose by themselves.

For example, a certain prince, a county king, a princess, etc., when they become adults, they will have their own palaces.

The current plain palace is not located in the north of the city, but in the urban area at the junction of the north and east of the city. Far from the real home of the rich and powerful, this is a remote place.

The four big characters of the Plains Palace's Mansion on the gate are already mottled, and the handwriting is almost indistinguishable, and it is even covered with some spider silk.

In front of the house, although someone is guarding, the moss on the steps in front of the house has not been cleaned up.

The entire Plains Mansion is far less than the Plains Mansion in Liwu County, and it is only about the same as the expanded Liulin Village Liu Mansion.

And it seems that the Plains Mansion does not seem to be a perennial resident. Anyway, Ma Guiren has been in Beijing for almost a few months, and with her temperament, she will definitely renovate all of these. But now it still looks so dilapidated.
