Chapter 673: Accountability
The military department Shangshu went to the front, and the people below him had to follow.
After a while, everyone rushed forward, and the top boss of the Midtown Terracotta Division also followed.
And the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division was still drunk, and he couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion in the clouds.
The adjutant beside him had a white face, and he really didn't expect that the young man who was looking at him just now was the emperor.
As soon as he thought that his dereliction of duty was seen by the emperor himself, the adjutant wanted to die.
Now seeing that all the officials have gone to the front line, the adjutant gritted his teeth and simply rushed into the fire by himself.
He dealt with the fire as he carried the wounded on his back, not even knowing that his hair had been burned off.
An officer of the Ministry of War asked, "Who is that?" So hard?"
The emperor looked at it, this person worked so hard, wouldn't it hurt everyone to work together?
Someone replied, "Deputy Commander of the Midtown Terracotta Division."
"Oh, that's right!" The questioner breathed a sigh of relief.
Since they are the people of the Midtown Soldiers and Horses, then they don't panic, after all, the fire ban in the city is under their control.
To put it bluntly, the most important thing to be vigilant about during the Shangyuan Festival is to walk in the water.
But the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division not only failed to control it, but even brought His Majesty over. These two commanders don't talk about their official careers, and this time I am afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed.
Everyone looked at the gradually smaller fire while feeling sorry, and their hearts gradually relaxed.
After Zhao Fuling returned to Du Mansion, she went into the house and drank a bowl of hot soup.
The lantern festival of the Shangyuan Festival is lively, but the weather outside is really cold.
It's obviously about to start spring, but I can't feel any spring in Shangjing/City. The Ming Building was relatively high, and a little cold wind blew, and Zhao Fuling felt a little dizzy.
She drank hot soup to get rid of the cold, and soaked her feet and sweated a little, so she asked Xiaoyue to inquire about the news.
Xiao Yue went several times, and said earlier that the fire had not been extinguished, and there were many injured people. When I went back later, I found that the fire was under control, but there were many people on the street where the water was walking.
Xiao Yue came back and told Zhao Fuling: "Your Majesty stood on the street with his hands behind his back and didn't say a word, and those people all lowered their heads and didn't speak. The slave and maid looked at it from afar, and felt a little breathless, so they came back first."
Zhao Fuling smiled: "It seems that she is going to get angry."
Since Li Jingmo became the emperor, his temper has become bigger and bigger, and it is even obvious that he has been on the verge of going berserk several times.
In the past, he was a good gentleman, gentle and elegant, and behaved moderately, but now it is only half a month, but he is going to be forced to be a tyrant in the city.
Sure enough, the emperor is really not so easy to be, it is completely a high-risk profession.
Zhao Fuling leaned on the head of the bed, listening to Xiaoyue's voice and color talking about things on the street, and finally inevitably mentioned the beautiful sky lantern.
"It's the first time I've seen such a big sky lantern, and it's like a real person, and it's so beautiful. Shangjing is worthy of the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there are all kinds of rare things."
When Xiao Yue said this, the other maids also nodded again and again.
Zhao Fuling smiled, remembering that the beautiful sky lantern was burned in the end, but her heart was inexplicably a little uncomfortable.
Intuition told her that this beautiful sky lantern ...... I'm afraid it's not a good omen!
The fire was completely dealt with, and it was close to dawn.
Li Jingmo didn't go back to Du Mansion either, so he asked someone to pass the news to Zhao Fuling and went back to the palace by himself.
These courtiers, who had stood with him on the street all night, also dragged their tired bodies and faces and followed them into the palace.
At the beginning of the early dynasty, the first thing was accountability.
The commander of the Midtown Soldiers and Horses Division finally sobered up, and knelt on the court tremblingly, not daring to say a word.
Li Jingmo later only asked him why he was drinking while on duty, and he was so frightened that he fainted.
The military department Shangshu glanced at it, and turned his face away with disgust, only to feel that his face was dull.
The people below didn't dare to protect him, and when they heard the emperor's order, they didn't dare to say anything, so they watched the commander of the soldiers and horses being dragged down.
A commander of the Terracotta Division was neglected
duty, dragging down a group of people to be disposed of. The soldiers Shangshu and the others were okay, and the fine was only for three months, and the admiral of the soldiers and horses of the five cities below was simply scolded by Li Jingmo.
After scolding, he was fined for one year and demoted...... There is no more wronged person in the world than him.
But the Admiral didn't dare to say anything, and shrank his head silently.
Compared to his life, what is the punishment and demotion, anyway, he is still young, and sooner or later he will have a chance.
Li Jingmo scolded the person who should be scolded, punished the person who should be punished, and only after his mouth was dry did he ask someone to investigate the fire.
The deputy commander of the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division was also there, and his fate was similar to the other, but his performance in the fire was too good at that time, which made Li Jingmo remember him.
Later, I heard that the deputy commander had dutifully patrolled all night, but it happened that no one was on this side of the street when the fire broke out.
Compared to it, he was really wronged.
Li Jingmo didn't blame him much, but only asked him how to deal with the fire now.
The lieutenant said that he must first find out who was behind the arson.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the officials of the military department turned blue, and the admiral even gave the deputy commander a hard look, telling him not to talk nonsense.
There were not too many casualties in this fire, and the burned people's residences were also repaired at their own expense, which obviously saved a lot of workload, so why should this guy say that there was an arson behind the scenes?
Can't it be treated as an accident entirely?
Li Jingmo also asked with extremely dark eyes, "The mastermind behind the scenes? As far as I know, this fire was just an accident of a child's play lamp."
The commander was very axial, and it was not an accident to bite it.
"Your Majesty, there are soldiers and horses patrolling the city, and if there is a slight accident, it will definitely be discovered quickly. Besides, the manufacture of Shangyuan lanterns is stipulated by the order of the government department, and the faint fire core in the children's lantern is not enough to cause such a large fire."
The commander clenched his fists and said with a serious expression: "Wei Chen thinks that someone deliberately found an inconspicuous place with a strong wind and set fire to the vacancy of the patrol."
As soon as these words came out, no one in the court spoke.
At the beginning of the first half of the emperor's establishment, some people set fire to the Shangyuan Festival...... This is not just a crime of arson, I am afraid that if I disobey the new emperor, I will rebel!
Everyone lowered their heads with bated breath, waiting for Li Jingmo to speak.
Li Jingmo unexpectedly calmed down, he looked at the deputy conductor and asked, "What's your name?" ap.
The deputy commander was stunned for a moment, and his voice was lower: "Weichen...... Wechen Han Kang."
"Shanggui Shou General Han Ziye, can you have anything to do with it?"
Han Kang's head lowered, as if he was a little ashamed: "Nai Weichen's grandfather."
Li Jingmo's eyes became kinder at this time, he didn't ask more, but said, "This matter will be left to you." Within half a month, if the arsonist can be found out, you will be guilty of meritorious service."
Han Kang hurriedly said, "Yes!"
Li Jingmo said again: "Don't be too happy, if you can't find out, you can leave Shangjing and go back to Shanggui County."
Han Kang's face suddenly turned red, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just lowered his head and responded.
