Section 1: Stability

According to the records in the history books, although the bloody night of dìdū was extremely tragic, it did last only one night. By the next morning, Dìdū's notices began to appear on the streets and alleys of Dìdū:

"Have you had enough of the bunnies? Get back to me before noon!

Dilling

March 27 rì"

※※※

Historians, often part-time grammarians, agree that this notice is very flawed. First of all, the object of the command is not clear: Who is the "rabbit cub"? How can a person "get out"? Second, the term "noon" is also very vague: What time does the so-called "noon" begin? Is it "noon" today, or is it "noon" tomorrow or in the month of the Ox? Also, what is "playing"?

All in all, they believe that this is a notice full of mistakes and omissions, and that there is no point in it, and the evidence is overwhelming, which fully exposes the erroneous behavior of the drafter Di Lin who did not study seriously in elementary school and often skipped class, and thus further deduced: If Di Lin had seriously accepted ideological and moral education when he was a child, he would definitely not have become such a cold and bloody person -- and finally came to the conclusion that patriotic ideological and political education must start from a child......

But the fact is that by twelve o'clock noon that day, the vast majority of the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army had returned to the barracks—they had understood that their commander, Dilin, was not a good person to discuss grammar—and by one o'clock the troops had begun to count their numbers. The captain of the guard, Gopra, took Dilin's guards out into the streets, and when he saw that there were still soldiers of the Far Eastern Army who were staying in the streets to "play" - for various reasons: he didn't see the notice, he read the wrong time, he misunderstood the notice, he was so involved in "playing" that he forgot to come back - he immediately hanged him.

After two o'clock, Stirling's Praetorian Guards began to patrol and suppressed a group of ruffians who had just passed the storm and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to fish and rob their money—and in the afternoon, order in the city was largely calm.

Later generations did not understand: Why would a famous general like Di Lin so conniving at his subordinates to plunder and kill civilians? There are many explanations, but the explanation of the young historian Tang Chuan is the most convincing: "Di Lin has no choice. He used high-pressure and severe torture to rule the army, and if he hadn't given his subordinates some opportunities to vent, plunder and make a fortune from time to time, his troops would have mutinied long ago -- his troops have always been the invincible army with the highest morale, the strongest combat effectiveness (later history proved that it can be comparable to the "Xiuzi Battalion" of the King of Light!), and the invincible army with the highest loyalty (loyalty to Di Lin personally, not loyalty to the family)! The only flaw is that the price of creating such an army is too high...... It's too high for the family to bear. ”

After quelling the rebellion, the commander-in-chief, Zichuan Sanxing, began to reward meritorious deeds and issued a series of dizzying personnel orders:

Luo Minghai, the former chief of staff, took up the position of the family's president--Hearing this order, Zi Chuanxiu secretly said to Zi Chuanning: "It's better to go to the temple and invite a Buddha statue to come and sit on the presidential seat, anyway, everyone doesn't open their mouths -- compared to the smiling face of the Buddha statue, it is much better than Luo Minghai's stinky face." ”

Sterling, the former deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, acted as the commander of the Zhōngyāng Army and was responsible for the reorganization and reorganization of the Zhōngyāng Army. -- This is the only one of the personnel orders of the Purple River that everyone agrees with, and Sterling can be said to be expected to be expected to remove the word "acting" from the front of his official title soon.

The most unacceptable thing is that after order was restored, the accusations of Dillin's connivance with his subordinates and the indiscriminate killing of innocents flew into the Supervision Office like snowflakes, causing the new Inspector General Dilin to sign and approve thousands of complaints every day -- so tired that he suffered from knuckle inflammation for several days. But there is also a good thing: the ugly characters that he has been unsightly since he was a child have become comparable to that of a calligrapher in a week, albeit only to a limited number of characters: "check", "none", "this", "thing", "emperor", "forest".

Considering the grievances between Di Lin and Luo Minghai, this appointment makes it difficult for everyone to figure out Zichuan Shenxing's true intentions: is he deliberately taking advantage of the hatred between his subordinates to contain each other, add and control each other, or is it ...... But looking at his old foolish appearance, he doesn't look like such a political person - or is it just plain unintentional?

As a result, at Luo Minghai's inauguration ceremony, Di Lin, the incoming inspector general who was supposed to attend, did not attend; at Di Lin's inauguration ceremony, Luo Minghai came, but the light of hatred in his eyes burned like fire -- making the senior family officials present feel that it was incredible that he did not pounce on Di Lin and bite Di Lin.

The traditional relationship between the Ombudsman and the Reichs, which is responsible for overseeing the administration of the Registrar, has been a discussion on Monday, a quarrel on Tuesday, a scolding on Wednesday, a watermelon peel thrown at each other on Thursday, and a truce and rest on Friday, Saturday, and week - now it is expected that everyone will escalate to a full-week non-stop operation, and the staff of the Registrar and the Ombudsman are ready for stomach ulcers, and many people have run to buy life insurance in advance.

The former head of the administrative department, deputy commander Goshan, had already been removed from his post for speaking out for the rebel party, but due to the accumulation of a large amount of civil affairs work after the counterinsurgency, there was a lack of efficient handling. At Luo Minghai's request, Zichuan Shenxing agreed to let Ge Shan "bring guilt and meritorious service" and temporarily preside over administrative affairs.

The former deputy director of the administrative department, the deputy commander of the bureau, Zichuan Xiu, had a unclear position and unclear knowledge, and he was arrogant and arrogant on the basis of his little merit in the process of counterinsurgency, and he actually sympathized with the rebels -- what credit do you have, aren't you just drinking and having fun watching yellow dishes with the group of dead ghosts of the zhōngyāng army? Do you really think that Lei Xun was killed by you alone? -- It also provoked the chief Zichuan Sanxing to get angry, which is really a great crime! However, due to the intercession of the Inspector General Di Lin and the acting commander of the Zhōngyāng Army, Sterling, the magnanimous Commander-in-Chief, decided not to pursue the case, but simply removed Zichuan Xiu from his current post and incorporated him into the reserve - everyone knows that the commander of the reserve is not as good as a dog on active duty.

So the future King of Light had to say goodbye to the luxuriously decorated office, comfortable and elegant furniture, and the beautiful female secretary in a miniskirt. He was devastated: the question of whether the female secretary was a virgin or not would be a mystery forever.

The consequences of this order were: One afternoon:

Shirakawa: "Is there any mistake! Why were we put in the reserves?"

Roger: "Well, we didn't speak for the rebels!"

Nagagawa: "Lord Xiuchuan, quickly check for us, is there a mistake - didn't you hear that Lord Sterling is now reorganizing the military affairs, can you help us through his back door?"

Shikawa Xiu pondered: "Now... It's very expensive to go through the back door to do favors, and besides, my personality and dignity don't allow me to do this kind of thing......"

Shirakawa: "I'm talking as if you had "personality and dignity"!"

Roger: "My lord, for the sake of us following you for many years, please..."

Changchuan: "Yes, my lord, it's a big deal, let's pool the money for you to go to the "exercise"!"

Shikawa Xiu: "You really embarrassed me... It's not about money, even if you give me a thick stack of bills..."

The three of his subordinates immediately put all the savings they had saved for a long time on the table.

“... Even if Shirakawa is willing to give me a kiss and doesn't slap me..."

At this time, Zi Chuanning appeared at the door, and Zi Chuanxiu immediately said: "I won't kiss either! How can I do such a thing and bully a woman while others are in danger -- I hate this kind of person the most!"

"Okay, I'll use your money to help you do something - but I don't dare to guarantee it, I recently heard that there is a fight against the ** of clean government..."

The three of them were very grateful.

"It's okay, as long as you are willing to help, we will thank you if you can't!"

"Your Excellency, you've worked so hard!"

"Your Excellency, you're good to go!"

In the evening, Shikawa Xiu and Sterling had dinner at the restaurant.

"Ah Xiu, about your compilation, I will talk to the chief in two days when he is in a good mood. ”

"I don't care, there's nothing wrong with the reserves, it's idle. ”

"By the way, Ah Xiu, why did your subordinates suddenly say that they were too tired and asked to be incorporated into the reserves, I felt so sorry when I gave the order. ”

"Oh, Roger's hemorrhoids are committed, Nagakawa is in menopause, and Shirakawa is going to take menstrual leave. ”

"That's a pity, they're all talents-especially that little girl from Shirakawa, she's very bold, I was going to let her serve as the red-clothed banner in the newly formed zhōngyāng army, but since they asked... I can't help it. ”

"Yes, they are all very rare - I have played mahjong for so long, I have lost so much, and I still can't see that I am out of the old man - where to find such a Kaizi? They are gone, I will die of loneliness - I am embarrassed to win Aning's money. ”

It turned out that Luo Minghai, Goshan and other administrative and civil officials were very talented, and they organized a series of reconstruction work after the catastrophe, such as extinguishing fires, commemorating the dead, cleaning the streets, rebuilding houses, and arranging relief, which were carried out quite quickly and effectively. Add to that Stirling's great contribution to the policing environment of Dìdū - Dìdū finally struggled from his pain, order was in order, and people began to heal their wounds and return to normal life, just as the people of Dìdū were celebrating the end of the disaster -

On April 1, 779 in the Imperial calendar, a message that sounded like April Fool's Day news -- like a thunderbolt from the sky, it still shook everyone:

"Far Eastern Commander Brother Yingxing was killed. ”
