Text Chapter 481: White Night
Not to mention the common people, there are hundreds of officials in the six ministries and nine monasteries, and there may not be a few people who can tell the specific location of Sizhou when they open their mouths.
In Jinling City, which is hot and hot and like a steamer, not to mention that there was a riot in Sizhou, even the news that the Zuo Longqi Army commanded Li Zhihe, who was crowned the squire of the military department and led the Shuzhou Assassin History, led his troops to cross the river to Shuzhou, and presided over the war against the rebels of the Anning Palace who withdrew to Shouchao and other states, as well as the news that Du Chongtao, the former commander of the Zuowu Guards, was transferred to Jinling to serve as the secretary of the military department, for most of the small people in the market, it was just more talk.
Even Jinling City has not completely escaped from the shadow of war.
Even though countless people are still struggling with the pain caused by the war, or the death and injury of their relatives and nephews, or the destruction of their houses, the grief in their hearts has not faded.
However, how can the people of Shengdou take such a world?
Instead of worrying about the affairs of the family and the country, and struggling with the fear of war, it is more realistic to wait for the end of July to pass quickly, and the weather can cool down as soon as possible after entering August.
Working hard to live is the most positive and optimistic attitude of the people of Shengdou to join the WTO.
The battle to recover Jinling lasted for more than a month, but the fighting that broke out mainly revolved around the battle for the outer city.
In addition, when the rebels of Anning Palace escaped, a fire burned down a lot of palaces and officials in the imperial city, and the area between the imperial city and the inner city wall was almost not damaged.
The nouveau riche in the city and the children of the clan lords who moved into Jinling City and stood on the side of the three princes when they were fortunate to make their choices were resuming their luxurious life of singing and dancing at a faster speed.
The relationship between the Late Red Mansion, the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Shenling Division has almost become an open secret above the Great Chu Dynasty.
In addition to Li Pu and others as the princes, Xu Jing, Yao Xishui and others were also assigned to the Fang Division and the palace respectively, and the Jinyun Division became the only legal secret spy organization directly controlled by His Majesty, and was in charge of the investigation and rebellion.
From any point of view, the historical mission of the Late Red Mansion was destined to come to an end after the recovery of Jinling City.
It happened that the Department of Education was completely burned down in the war, and it would not take three or five months to rebuild, so the Department of Education requisitioned the site of the Late Red Building, which was relatively well preserved during the war, and used it as the Eastern Courtyard Office.
In addition to recruiting women from good families, the Ministry of Religion was subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, and managed the affairs of court music and dance, and in addition to recruiting women from good families, it was more important to demote the wives and daughters of criminal ministers to the music register to fill the Kabuki family, and at the same time, it was forbidden to be friendly with the nobles and gentlemen.
To put it bluntly, in addition to being a court song and dance troupe, the Jiaofang Division is also a government-run brothel that is forbidden to civilians.
The rebellion of Anning Palace, although a considerable number of people and horses were withdrawn to the north bank, there were always omissions in the haste, and a large number of boats and boats across the river capsized, and six or seven thousand people fled to the south bank in a panic, among which Yang En, Shang Wensheng, etc., who were not held accountable, and could still be reused and trusted were a small number after all.
Therefore, the generals and dependents of the Anning Palace and the Xu family, in the end, a considerable number of people did not escape the ascension to heaven, and were detained and severely punished by beheading and exile.
A large number of female dependents who were still in good shape were relegated to the music list, and they were mainly placed in the East Courtyard Office that requisitioned the site of the Late Red Mansion.
From the perspective of human nature, even if these ladies are slightly inferior in appearance and slightly older, they are more loved by the guests.
This also makes the Eastern Courtyard Department more lively and boiling in the past few months than the original evening Red Mansion, and the sound of silk and bamboo is constantly in the morning and dusk, covering up too many joys and sorrows.
This is the afternoon, the evening red pavilion in the East Courtyard Office, the windows on all sides are covered with silk, the light does not shine in, and the room is lit with huge candles, as if it is the night when the lamp fans are drunk.
The skin under the tulle was blown to the bridle, and it was so delicate and seductive in the light of the candlelight, and there was no need to drink, and the pair of slender thighs were enough to make people drunk.
His father was the governor of the court, his sister had just entered the palace as a concubine, and he was Han Jun, who was a general of the Wude Division, and he was definitely qualified to be called an upstart in Jinling City.
However, he was surrounded by warblers and swallows at this time, but he was absent-minded, and he could even be said to be a little irritable.
Although His Majesty and the princes of the court are well aware of the grievances and grievances between the Han family and the Zhuzi, as well as what the Zhuzi has done to many people in the Han family over the years, no matter what, the Zhuzi must also be regarded as the Han family, so it is inevitable that some people in the court will gossip about this matter.
Especially when the old man is still alive, others must say that the Han family will eventually reconcile with that erection, and Han Jun can still jump out and say "no"?
This also makes the Han family in an extremely awkward position when the court deals with affairs involving Xuzhou.
This time the Sizhou civil unrest was no exception.
"The civil turmoil in Sizhou is not a rabble of three or five thousand to make waves, or three or five hundred elites can break it. Even if the war did not go well in the early stage, it was because the local armament was lax and incompetent. In any case, this bit of is tossed in a corner that is so far away that I don't know which one is really worth it for the princes of the political hall to carefully discuss around His Majesty for most of the day and not come up with an idea? Huang Wei, who dragged Han Jun to the Eastern Courtyard Office for recreation tonight, looked at Han Jun's sad face, and asked at first glance.
As the second son of Huanghua, the former Huzhou assassin, although Huang Xi did not participate in the war to recover Jinling with his father, he was attacked by his father's merits, and he was the elder brother of Concubine De, barely regarded as the uncle of the country, and he was also a righteous upstart, and this time he was able to transfer to the guard and pro-army, and served as the battalion commander under Han Jun.
Huang Hua in the war to recover Jinling, as the commander-in-chief of the Huzhou soldiers, but he was able to take the lead, suffered arrow wounds at the head of the city, and was still recuperating in the house at this time.
However, no matter what, in addition to Huanghua's daughter entering the palace as a concubine, and Huang Hua and Gu Zhilong are both representatives of the Jiangdong family, it was he who led the Huzhou soldiers Conglong to launch an offensive from the eastern front, creating a favorable situation for the recovery of Jinling, and also made great contributions.
Now even if Huanghua is recuperating in the house, every time there is any major event in the court, Emperor Yanyou will send palace envoys to ask for advice.
In the eyes of the world, the respect of Huanghua's status will only be above Han Daoming, not under Han Daoming.
Therefore, if he has no brains about Huang Wei, Han Jun has no way to deal with him.
Everyone is serving in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, they are all guards and military attaches who are directly favored by the emperor, even if there is a difference in the generals, it will not be too obvious.
Both of them have younger sisters in the palace, and it stands to reason that the relationship between the two should be sparse.
Huang Xi's personality is very sticky, he has not been in office for two months, and when he is not on duty in the palace, he pulls Han Jun out to eat, drink and have fun at every turn, and Han Jun has nothing to do with him.
The other guards and military attaches who asked Huang Xi to come over to drink and have fun today are all robes on duty in the same class, but they are not as angry as Huang Shu, and their experience and position can also make them guess what His Majesty and the princes of the court are afraid of.
In the past, there were such demon moths in the state, and even killed each other, and the imperial court would only secretly rejoice, after all, it was a remote location and a sparse population, no matter how it tossed, it hurt its own vitality, and it was difficult to pose any threat to the states and counties directly under the central government.
Now that the people in Sizhou are in turmoil, the situation is a little delicate, and the subtlety is that Xuzhou is located on the side of Sizhou.
"A few masters are about to leave the city, so as not to be delayed on the road." At this time, a guard pushed the door in, and urged Han Jun, Huang Xi and others to leave the city.
The imperial city was burned down by the rebels, only a few buildings such as Chongwen Hall and Changxin Palace were well preserved, and other buildings were being repaired intensively, but they could not compete in three or five months.
Emperor Yanyou wanted to be alone on weekdays, so he had to return to the original county palace to stay overnight, and the queen mother moved directly to Changchun Palace outside the east city to live temporarily.
The shift duty of Changchun Palace is also arranged by Wu Desi to be responsible for the guards and pro-army.
Han Jun, Huang Ji and several of their guards and military attachés are going back to the city to rest this time, and after resting for two days, they will rush back to Changchun Palace before dark today to take on a new round of shift duty.
"It's really a disappointment," Huang Wei put his hand into the kabuki's skirt in his arms, and touched the thin white thighs twice, but he didn't dare to rely on it, he stood up with a shout, and pushed the door open with Han Jun, and the scorching sun outside shook so much that they couldn't even open their eyes.
Under the waiting of Hu Sui, Han Jun, Huang Xi and others changed into the gorgeous armor that they needed to wear on duty, secretly left the East Courtyard Department from the backyard, and hurried out of the city through the newly renovated Donghua Gate, and rushed to the Changchun Palace Manor east of Yandang Rock, where many hungry people could be seen stranded along the road.
Although a great war did not turn the entire Jianghuai land into ruins, Dachu also lost a lot of vitality, and at present, there are too many places for the money and grain stalls transported from Zhuzhou County, and there is not much spare power to help the victims, so that the land of Gyeonggi is also flooded by refugees.
This is different from when Emperor Yanyou first left the palace, when a large number of hungry people were blocked outside the city because of the epidemic.
Although the remnants of the Louchuan Army and Naval Division withdrew into Hongze Lake, it was possible to return to the Yangtze River waterway at any time, and the Changchun Palace Manor was too close to the river embankment, but the Queen Mother insisted on living in Changchun Palace, so she could only strengthen the garrison outside the Changchun Palace.
Yandangji is currently a garrison of the Wuya Army Naval Division, more than a dozen warships are responsible for guarding the estuary and the left and right rivers and rivers, and the Yumai Baima Mountain and Jilongling at the western foot of Baohua Mountain are respectively the two garrisons of the forbidden army and the guards and the pro-army, and in the Changchun Palace Manor, there are 3,000 guards and pro-army elites stationed for a long time.
As the commander of the left capital of the guards, Guo Liang, he set up the big tent of the commander of the capital in the Jilong Ridge south of the Changchun Palace Manor, and he did not need to be responsible for the queen mother.
The commander of the guards who defended the Changchun Palace in close quarters was Han Jun and the other three Du Yu waiting for the rotation to stay on duty, usually speaking, it was necessary to ensure that two Du Yu were on duty.
Han Jun took a group of guards and military attaches to return to Changchun Palace to eliminate the holiday, in addition to Li Chong, who was able to return to the city to rest and deal with personal affairs, there was also a Du Yu Hou Du Tao who stayed on duty, who was the son of Du Chongtao, the secretary of the military department.
The reason why His Majesty was in a hurry to set Du Chongtao into the center as the secretary of the military department is that Du Tao was quite dedicated to the birth of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother then appointed Du Tao, who was appointed to serve in the guards and pro-army.
Therefore, in the eyes of the world, compared with Emperor Yanyou, who has not yet reached the age of the weak crown, Du Chongtao is closer to the Queen Mother.
It's just that Han Jun didn't overhear the Queen Mother say that she had transferred Du Tao over, which was what Lu Qingxia meant.
Seeing that after Du Chongtao, it was Li Zhihe who went to Shuzhou to take over the war against Shouzhou, Han Jun felt more or less that things were a little strange, but he wanted to ask something, but the Queen Mother didn't say anything, and it was impossible for him to tell others about the details.
Han Jun came over to be on duty at this time, according to the rules, he wanted to go into the palace to greet the queen mother, he didn't bring other entourage, went straight through the hall to transfer the house, walked to the corridor of the main hall, and saw Zhang Ping, the inner attendant, sitting upright in the hall, talking to the queen mother.
Emperor Yanyou transferred Shen Yang to the center and presided over the political affairs hall, procedurally eliminating the channel for other ministers to directly present state affairs to the Queen Mother, but as long as he was in the palace, he would come to the Queen Mother sooner or later to ask for peace.
Even if the Empress Dowager lived in Changchun Palace outside the East City, Emperor Yanyou would not be able to go out of the city at every turn, and would send Zhang Ping or Jiang Shu or Yuan Guowei to Changchun Palace every day to ask for peace, and at the same time, he would also present the matters discussed in the political hall to the Empress Dowager to show that there was no loss in filial piety.
