Chapter 31: Closing the Net
After a night, the huge Kyoto seems to be peaceful.
But the people who have lived in Kyoto for many years can feel a little weird.
I don't know when it began, the patrols of the Nishiki Guards in Kyoto became more stringent.
Since the past, there would only be two teams of brocade guards on one street, and the number of patrols has increased to four.
The scrutiny at the entrance of the city gate has also become more stringent, and in the past, only customs clearance paperwork was required.
At the moment, even the goods have to be opened one by one and inspected before they can pass through customs.
These subtle changes, while not enough to make the average person feel strange, can still cause subtle discomfort.
I just feel that Kyoto, which seems to be very calm now, is as if a huge storm is gathering in the middle of now.
"Your Majesty, this is the twist and turn of the last few days."
Gonggong Cao piled up the recently reported recitals and placed them beside Xu Jing, who had just sat in the Xi Zheng Hall too early.
"Recently, what happened to the North Korean mission?"
Xu Jing nodded slightly, flipped through the folds and changed them one by one, and asked about the actions of the North Korean mission at the same time.
"The action is not small, and there are more than a dozen officials who have an affair with it. Among them, there are three second-class officials. ”
Gonggong Cao lowered his head and told the information that he had already known.
"Interesting, can you actually get on the line with the second-grade officials of the DPRK and China? It seems that the funding received by the North Korean mission is not a small amount. ”
Xu Jing smiled coldly, and there was a faint anger flowing.
"Your Majesty needs to close the net?"
Gonggong Cao looked at Xu Jing, who was full of anger, and asked.
"No, wait."
Xu Jing waved his hand and did not intend to end there, he wanted to see how big the North Korean mission could still catch up.
Is it Xiao Daoling, the prime minister of the dynasty? Or is it Situ Zhao, the Taiwei who ranks among the third dukes? Xu Jing is looking forward to it.
"By the way, the Champion invites you to the barracks tonight. It seems to be about the forbidden army. ”
Gonggong Cao remembered the banquet tonight and reminded Xu Jingdao.
"Okay."
Xu Jing didn't react much, just nodded lightly.
Then Gonggong Cao quietly stayed by Xu Jing's side without saying a word, while Xu Jing continued to correct the folds.
These days, although Xu Jing has solved many things inside and outside the Great Qian's court.
But the territory of Daqian is vast, and the things involved are vast, even if the celebrant has screened out a large number of insignificant trivial matters, there are still many twists and turns that Xu Jing needs to decide.
Xu Jing's change was changed to after dusk, and even lunch was useless.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Gonggong Cao wanted to speak but didn't dare to interrupt Xu Jing, lest Xu Jing, who was frowning, would take his anger out on himself.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning, seeing that the dusk was over and the sky was dark, that Xu Jing put down the last recital.
"When?"
Xu Jing looked at the sky outside the window, turned his head and asked Gonggong Cao on the side.
Gonggong Cao glanced at the leaky pot placed in the house, and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's three o'clock. ”
"Presumably Uncle Jiang is already waiting outside the barracks, let's go."
Xu Jing stood up and strode out.
As Xu Jing got up, Gonggong Cao on one side immediately arranged for the chariot to go to the barracks with Xu Jing.
Although the forbidden army was a security force stationed in Kyoto, the military camp was not located in Kyoto, and it was ten miles away from Kyoto.
Xu Jing got into the chariot and it took three quarters of an hour to arrive.
At this moment, the inside and outside of the barracks were brightly lit, with high platforms placed in all directions for crossbowmen, and teams of soldiers carrying lanterns around the fence patrolled back and forth.
"Who's coming, stop quickly!"
Seeing a group of carriages suddenly appear, the crossbowmen guarding the high platform had already opened their mouths to reprimand when the carriage was still a hundred paces away from the barracks.
"Bold! This is your majesty, who dares to stop it? ”
Gonggong Cao shouted in a shrill voice, and the patrol team that arrived looked at each other.
They really didn't understand why His Majesty would come to this barracks late at night, but it didn't delay them from kneeling.
After seeing that the chariot was indeed embroidered with a dragon pattern, the group of soldiers hurriedly knelt down: "See Your Majesty!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”
"Get up, get out of the way."
Xu Jing's voice came through the curtain of the car.
"Your Majesty, you're finally here!"
Jiang Zhenting saw Xu Jing's carriage from a distance, approached quickly, and said loudly to Xu Jing.
"Brother Zhenting, what's wrong?"
Xu Jing saw someone coming, lifted the corner of the curtain and asked.
"I don't know, my father is negotiating with them."
Jiang Zhenting didn't go inside, he had been waiting for Xu Jing outside.
"Let's go."
Xu Jing didn't ask any more questions, and after the chariot drove into the barracks, he got out of the chariot and went to the center of the barracks with Jiang Zhenting.
"General, I haven't seen you for many years, and I thought you were already dead. I can't believe that after many years, there will be a chance to see you again! I'm going to give you a toast! ”
Before entering the military tent, Xu Jing had already heard a hearty voice coming from the barracks.
"You were born and died together with me Jiang in the past, you are siblings, and there are no generals and no subordinates tonight. Some are just close friends who haven't been seen for years. ”
Jiang Wuxi also laughed, raising his glass and changing glasses with these former subordinates.
"General, you must have something to do if you meet me tonight, right?"
After three or two glasses of wine, this group of veterans who have been in the officialdom for many years naturally knew that it was definitely something for Jiang Wuji to visit suddenly.
"Indeed, I have come here to consult with you. Before I do that, I would like to ask you, what do you think of Your Majesty? ”
Jiang Wuji put down the wine glass in his hand and asked with a smile on his face.
"The new emperor has just ascended the throne, what can you see? However, the new emperor's methods were not bad, and he killed several corrupt officials one after another. They also sent supplies to the victims of the Yellow River. ”
"We are just a rough man, our hometown is in the Hedong generation, this alone, we admire Your Majesty!"
Inside the tent, the hearty voice said firmly.
"I think, how is the new emperor not, how can he rule the world with such a thirst for killing? Could it be that the people who are not subordinate will be killed one by one? ”
"How many heads in the world are there enough for him to cut off? If you cut it down like this, aren't you ordinary people who are unlucky to suffer in the end? ”
Some people recognize Xu Jing, and naturally some people are very dissatisfied with Xu Jing's behavior.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
At this moment, Xu Jing walked quickly into the military tent, and the voice of Gonggong Cao also sounded at this moment.
The military tent was looked at by everyone, they couldn't imagine that they were talking about people behind their backs, and before they finished speaking, the main lord had appeared in front of them.
"See Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
The group of generals quickly knelt down and shouted at Xu Jing.
"Get up, I want to continue to hear what I said just now."
Xu Jing waved his hand, walked quickly to the top of the military tent and sat down, looking at the generals kneeling on both sides.
"Your Majesty, the ministers were just drunk and didn't choose what to say, please forgive me!"
These ginseng generals were so frightened that Xu Jingxian was sweating profusely and begging for mercy.
"It's okay, I can kill fewer people tonight."
Xu Jing smiled, his gaze swept over everyone present.
