Taifu Temple is in charge of the honor guard and luan driver, and is responsible for the formulation, supervision and implementation of the royal travel honor guard system. Since this carriage was paid tribute to the Empress Dowager, then of course it had to be handed over to the Taifu Temple for safekeeping and maintenance.

Zongzheng Temple, Taichang Temple, Taifu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taifu Temple, and Tai Hospital are also called "Gongye Five Temples and One Courtyard" in this dynasty, and these institutions that originally belonged to the "Nine Temples and Nine Qings" in the Qin and Han dynasties are now serving the royal family and the court.

Zongzheng Temple is responsible for the affairs of the royal family, and the main worship of Taichang Temple is located next to the Taimiao;

The main ceremonial guard and the formulation of etiquette regulations of the Taifu Temple, and the main meals of the Guanglu Temple are respectively in the Long'an Gate on the west side of the Heavenly Street between the Wuchao Gate and the Chengtian Gate and the right gate of Sogo (the west gate of Miyagi);

Taifu Temple is built and maintained by the main owner, on the north side of the ice cellar in the northwest corner of the imperial city.

The carriage "Rumble" crossed the Heavenly Street, entered the right gate of Sogo, entered the Taifu Temple and stopped in its main courtyard. Liu Funian got out of the car first and opened the door for the emperor.

"Eh, Liu Qing, this car stops very steadily. Not bad, not bad!"

Zhao Tuo took two steps back to look at the car, and saw that it was a style of resting mountain eaves above the carriage, and the lower door was painted with red and gold with fish in the lotus pond, and there was a two-stage pedal under the door.

"Your Majesty, there are two levers beside the coachman, one for the front and one for the rear. If the two levers are lifted and placed forward, the car will fly, and when pulled backward, the brake skin will rub against the wheel, which can control the wheel to slow down or stop." Zhang Ping pointed and pointed to the emperor and introduced:

"Look at the door and the frame." He opened the door and pointed to the emperor, "The door and the compartment look like ordinary wood, but in fact there is an iron plate and cotton cloth in between! As long as it's not a heavy weapon, you can't wait for it, Lord Li calls it an armored car.

He also said that when people talk in the car after filling the cotton cloth, people outside can't hear what is being said inside, so it can be soundproofed."

"Oh?" Zhao Tuo stepped forward to knock, and sure enough, his voice was very dull: "Rare!" He praised and pointed to the inside of the door and asked, "Different kinds of wood are used inside?" I see that there is mahogany, and there is also wood with this calm color, what is the point?"

"Your Majesty, please see, the dark-colored armrests and handles are all hardwood, because they need to be hardwood. Mahogany wood is soft, so it is more suitable for decoration, and even if it touches the body, it will not cause serious damage or trauma."

Zhang Ping then introduced to him the storage in the car, the space for the charcoal stove under his feet, and other exquisite design features.

"Sure enough, I do things very carefully!" The emperor nodded while listening, turned around and saw Eunuch Liu with everyone appearing in the field of vision, and there was an extra yellow door beside him. "What, is there any secret music?" When they walked in, Zhao Tuo pointed to the Huangmen and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I just received two secret notes, and I was about to send them to Qianyuan Palace, but I didn't want to meet Gonggong Liu, so Xiao Chen dared to follow him." After the yellow door finished speaking, he held up the lacquer plate with both hands, and sure enough, there were two densely folded boxes inside.

Everyone saw that except for Eunuch Liu, everyone else retreated to ten steps away. When the yellow gate saw Eunuch Liu coming to pick up the tray, he whispered, "The one on the left is transferred by Lord Zhao, the governor of Jiangxi, and the one on the right is transferred by Lord Deng, the commander of the Jiujiang Navy Division."

Eunuch Liu nodded to let him retreat, and then went to the emperor with his lips moving slightly, and the emperor nodded and pointed to the carriage with the fan in his hand: "It's good here, I'll finish reading it inside and then go back." With that, he turned around and got into the carriage.

"Huh? This ......," Eunuch Liu came to the door of the car, "Your Majesty, is it too dark inside?"

"It's okay." Zhang Ping hurriedly took a few steps forward after hearing this: "There is a light in the car, please forgive your majesty, can the minister board the car and light the lamp for you?"

"Yes."

Zhang Ping made a gesture, put forward the swing and boarded the car, stretched out his hand to open a small glass door in the door, and pulled out a bamboo cap tube, which lit up with a "poof".

He turned the knob and let the candle fall, and the wick lit on the flame. Then put the fire cap back on, close the glass door, and sure enough, the candle flame made the carriage a lot brighter.

After the candle on the other side of the car door was also lit, Zhang Ping saw the emperor's face illuminated by the light and showed a satisfied smile, even Eunuch Liu didn't expect this mechanism: "I, I thought these two things were for decoration just now, I don't want them to be real!"

Zhang Ping smiled, pulled down from the small cabinet in the middle, and the lower bracket was opened, and it became a small desk. took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the drawer next to him, and then exited the carriage and saluted by the door: "Your Majesty will look at it first, there are still a few good things waiting for the minister to introduce slowly."

"Good, good. You don't have to go back yet, just wait here!" After Zhao Tuo finished speaking, he summoned Eunuch Liu in, closed the car door and opened the box to start looking at the two secret documents.

Outside the car, Liu Funian had already arranged guards to guard, and the officials of Taifu Temple, who rushed to hear the news, heard that the emperor was looking at the excerpts in the car, although it was a little unbelievable, but they still stood honestly in the distance and did not dare to disturb.

The car stopped under an old cypress tree two thick, and the horses remained motionless, listening quietly to the wind passing between the branches.

These four horses are all pulled horses selected by the herdsman of Yugan Ma (military horse farm), and they are docile and strong. Probably they themselves would not have thought that they would have the opportunity to show their hands for the emperor in this life.

The contents of the two notes were different, and the Jiujiang sailors reported that they had found through an informant the bandits who had stolen some of the grain and caused two of the grain boats to capsize, but when they went to arrest them, they knew the news in advance and fled. Look at the book

And the only people who knew about this operation that night were Ying Tianfu officials who cooperated with the operation. Therefore, the sailor felt that the case was more important than he imagined, so he had to fold it up and listen to it. Zhao Tuo looked at it and sneered.

The case occurred in the territory of Nanzhili, so he strictly ordered Ying Tianfu to solve the case, but who knew that there was no result in solving it. Now judging from the report of the water master, it is actually a ghost inside Ying Tianfu.

Yes, this is my good courtier! He bit it and thought about it, and inscribed on the last page of the excerpt:

Got it. Qing and others are hard to do errands and work hard. However, the case has not been revealed, and the merit cannot be rewarded. You can conduct a detailed investigation again, and what you hear is played quickly. I will not be sent to the South Special Office, and I can communicate and cooperate with the Qin Cha to solve the case as soon as possible. Chin this!

The case of Cao Yun is very strange. In previous years, there were also many losses in Caoyu, but like this, a place was reported to have been robbed, but Caoyun was reported to have been overturned, and the inconsistencies were really the first time. And this time the number is as high as 20,000 stones! It shocked the imperial court at once.

Zhao Tuo knew in his heart that someone must be playing tricks on this matter, but he needed to dig out the truth and find out the mastermind behind the scenes between light and dark, which was not an easy task.

Of course, as Zheng Shou said, he was a little angry with Jiangnan officialdom, but now is not the time to start rectification.

The people behind this scene can probably see that the imperial court is now worried about the intensifying war in Nanchang, and will not focus on a grain robbery case, so this person did choose a good time.

Because it was an incident that occurred on the water, the person who started it should be familiar with the waterways of the rivers and the art of manipulating the boat, so Zhao Tuo not only ordered Nanzhili (including Yangzhou, Yingtian, Songjiang, Suzhou, Changzhou, Taiping, Guangde, Chizhou, Ningde, and Huizhou ten prefectures) to strictly investigate, and at the same time issued a secret order to the commanders of the Jiujiang and Songjiang divisions to visit.

The Jiujiang Naval Division is responsible for the waters of the Yangtze River from Liuhe to Jiujiang Prefecture, and is stationed in Anqing. If the Jiujiang Naval Division finds traces of the people involved, then the possibility of collusion by the pirates is ruled out, and it must be an inland crime!

What Zhao Chongbi transferred was actually a quick report written by Li Dan for him. It is said that after the team set off, it boarded the ship at Yingtan, covered by the first mobile brigade, and the fleet arrived at Guixi County in the evening of the same day.

More than 470 people under the pseudo-county order Zhang Mingquan (former county order) were captured. That night, except for some personnel to deal with the aftermath, the whole battalion continued eastward by boat, and broke the city in the early morning of the next day when the city gate was opened by the Geyang County Order.

Killed 457 bandits under Wang Kaili. The navy was responsible for the aftermath, and the whole battalion and the carriages and horses on board landed and are currently on their way to Hung Yen County.

One day and night through the three counties! Is it possible? Zhao Tuo frowned, asked Eunuch Liu to call Zhang Ping into the car, and asked, "Have you seen Li Dan's group practice?" How strong are its feet and how can they be roughly guessed?"

Zhang Ping didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked this, so he was stunned and bowed down and replied, "The little minister has not seen his elite, so he doesn't dare to say that he understands." Zhao Tuo was a little disappointed, and was about to ask him to step back, but he said again:

"However, when the minister went, he took a four-wheeled passenger ship from Yugan, which was five or six feet long and one foot six feet wide, and four healthy donkeys in the bilge walked, driving the four water wheels in front and behind to rotate.

There are 40 passenger cabins in front of the upper deck, and there are six noble cabins in front of the tail rudder cabin, with four soft seats in each cabin. Walking is like speeding on the water, ordinary clippers can't catch up at all, and when there is wind, the sail is not affected.

From Yugan to Anren usually ride livestock for two days, if you take the boat will set sail early in the morning, and arrive at the wharf outside the south gate before noon! The ministers often liked to requisition steamers when they were mobilized, and if they walked on the river, they must be very fast.

In addition, when the minister returned home, he was escorted by a village warrior. The ministers and the chief took mules and horses, and the townsmen and servants all took four-wheeled wagons, set off in the afternoon, went to Yangbu to rest for one night, and entered Yugancheng the next morning, which was more than five or sixty percent faster than the ordinary road.

The minister talked with Shi Chang, and he said that there were a large number of such trucks in the regimental training department, which were originally built in Yugan, and later set up factories in the ancient port near 10,000 years, and recently heard that the factory was going to be opened in the golden port of Anren.

He also said that in the future, Yugan Car Factory will specialize in passenger cars. From this, it can be inferred that the popularity of chariots and horses in regimental training is extremely high, so the minister thinks that their speed of movement on land is also very fast!"

"Oh! I understand, this is what Li Sanlang said, 'You must work on its tools first!'" Zhao Tuo nodded.

After Zhang Ping got out of the car, he opened the last article attached by Zhao Chongbi, which said that he was currently attacking the Yang father and son with all his strength, and had no ability to occupy the southern front, so Guixi, Geyang, and Xing'an would evacuate as much as possible and clear the wilderness, and then the troops would rely on the river boats to withdraw to Yingtan Fort to defend it.

After Li Danbu penetrated the three counties, he disrupted the enemy's deployment, took the opportunity to rush to the city of Guangxin, and tried to rescue the king and the prince from the north gate of Shuiying, and then the whole battalion quickly turned around, returned to Fengqi Pass with the advantage of chariots and horses, and returned from the northern line to Dexing.

He even thoughtfully attached to the emperor a hand-drawn map (drawn by the General Staff) showing the predetermined march route of Li Dan's troops with arrows.

Zhao Tuo held his cheeks for a long time and didn't speak after reading it, and then sighed and said, "Big companion, did I give Li Sanlang a big problem?"

"Why did Your Majesty say that?"

"You see, now the Lou thief is in the east, and the silver thief is in the west, and the two roads point to Shangrao. The situation in Shangrao is quite dangerous! But at this time, I ordered Li Dan to break in and save the king of the county from ......, which was really difficult for him. If one accidentally traps him in it, I will regret it!"

Eunuch Liu looked at the map carefully and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Sacrificing life and forgetting death for the emperor is what a courtier should do, not to mention that Li Sanlang already has a proposition in this way, and he is not a reckless person, Your Majesty does not have to worry.

Besides, didn't Your Majesty let Zhejiang and Fujian send troops? If they were behind them, the thieves would not dare to attack Shangrao with all their might, so the situation looked dangerous, but the court did not have no chance of winning.

The key is in Shangrao! If Shangrao can hold on, the entire Guangxin Mansion will still be saved, and it will not be completely erosive!"

Zhao Tuo looked at the picture carefully, nodded lightly and said, "The big companion is reasonable. However, Shangrao is now like a lonely city, surrounded by enemies, how can it hold on?"

Eunuch Liu thought about it: "Your Majesty, there are tens of thousands of horses in that city, and there are blessings such as fire guns and general guns sent in by Li Sanlang last time, but what is lacking now is not armament, but grain and grass.

If there is enough food and grass, it will not be a problem to persevere. Besides, Your Majesty can also strictly order the Zhejiang and Fujian armies to step up their attacks, even if it creates momentum, it can reduce them by one point."

"Makes sense, makes sense!" Zhao Tuo patted the table: "Companion, isn't Gu Lin coming to thank you?" When you return to the palace, you will summon him for me, and I will have a good discussion with him!"

Eunuch Liu smiled: "That...... Your Majesty, shall we go back to the palace now?"

"It's been out for a long time, and it's been a great day. That's it, go back to the palace!" Zhao Tuo couldn't wait, the king of the county wanted to save it, but he was unwilling to throw the big city of Shangrao to the chaos to the disaster.

Besides, it has really been plagued, and after it is recovered in the future, I don't know how much effort it will take to recover!

Gu Lin looked up in surprise when he received the order, and he did not look at the pedestrian who gave the order, but at the sky.

"Master Gu, did you accept the order?" Nachincha whispered.

"Ah, oh, there's Lord Law. But...

… Do you know why His Majesty is summoned now? In another hour, the palace door will be locked." Gulin pointed out the window worriedly.

"Lord Gu, how do I know His Majesty's intentions? You'd better hurry, or the hour will be like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, the sky will be dark!"

At the urging of the Qin Cha, Gu Lin had no choice but to hurry out and go straight to Tianjie, and then ran to the door of the Wu Dynasty out of breath, shouting in a loud voice: "Chen Gulin, enter the palace to see the driver!"

"Master Gu, slow down, don't be in a hurry." The generals guarding the gate all recognized the most proud youngest son of the Marquis of Tonghui, so they kindly told him: "The emperor has sent a sedan chair to wait in the door, and there is an edict ordering you to take the sedan chair to the Qianyuan Palace to see the driver."

"Minister, thank you!" Gu Lin didn't expect the little emperor to send a sedan chair, and he was so grateful that he almost burst into tears. The regulations of the palace city of this dynasty are much smaller than that of the capital city of the previous dynasty, but even so, it takes a quarter of an hour (half an hour) to walk from the gate of the noon dynasty to the Qianyuan Palace!

The western half of the Qiande Hall is the so-called "inner study", which is usually separated from the central hall by sixteen carved doors from the outside world like the East Warm Pavilion, but the door of the East Warm Pavilion is usually open, while the inner study is often closed and only opened when receiving courtiers.

The inner study is divided into two parts, inner and outer, by a full moon multi-treasure pavilion. There are a few chairs outside, as well as flowers. On the rockery in the corner, the weak flowers of the autumn orchid exude a light and long fragrance.

There is a bead curtain made of five-colored beads in the Duobao Pavilion, and when you look at it, you can see that there are books on the shelves, desks, and the four treasures of the study.

Gulin came in and stood on the first chair to the right hand of the Lord. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his hearing was very good, and he soon heard footsteps walking unhurriedly towards him. Gu Lin bowed and clenched his fists, quietly waiting for the emperor to appear.

The first to appear was Eunuch Liu, who picked up the bead curtain with a whisk of dust, and stood beside the Duobao Pavilion with a smile: "Lord Gu, please salute, Your Majesty has arrived!"

The next day is the day of the court, and the courtroom here is a small court, not a big court. This dynasty has changed its constitution since the time of Taizong, and it is not necessary for all officials to go to court every day as set by Emperor Taizu.

On weekdays, the cabinet will report to the emperor at two o'clock (five o'clock) at the Qiande Palace, and call it a concert or an early recital. The provincial ministries, under the leadership of the chief officer, will take a roll call at six o'clock (six o'clock), which is called "Dianmao".

On the first and fifteenth day of each month, as well as the four solar terms of the beginning of spring, the beginning of summer, the beginning of autumn and the beginning of winter, the officials above the four grades in Beijing gather in the Fengtian Hall (the main hall of the three halls of Fengtian, Bow Province and Jiaotai in the former dynasty), which is called the small dynasty.

Every year, at the beginning of January and the first day after the Midyear Festival, all the officials in Beijing make a big congratulatory gift at the noon court, and then the officials above the sixth grade enter the Fengtian Palace.

The emperor was in high spirits today, and before leaving yesterday, Zhang Ping presented a few small things:

Zhao Chongbi contributed a set of nine crystal glass cups, three each green, white and yellow; a box of pencils contributed by Li Dan, a picture of "Sunset on the Long Bridge"; There was also a small bag of cement that Zhang Ping brought back.

When he returned to the palace, he called Liang Wu and asked him to find some sand and crushed and sifted soil, and mixed it with water according to the proportion Zhang Ping said, but the small lump of thin and soft mud in two hours was as hard as a stone, which surprised and delighted the emperor.

Now this small piece of treasure turned into mud and stone was taken by him in the bag, although it was a little heavy, but Zhao Tuo felt steady.

"Silence, Your Majesty has arrived!" Following the voice of the celebrant eunuch Ge Dahong, the emperor turned from the apse to the front and stood in front of the bookcase. Waiting for Liang Wu and the others to tidy up the back swing and sit down for him, Ge Dahong continued to sing:

"In front of the ministers, His Majesty the Emperor was congratulated by hundreds of officials, kneeling three times and bowing nine times, worship! Hey, goodbye ......!"

The ministers faced the emperor, and the left and right sides of the text saluted. After the ceremony, they are still lined up opposite (the civil and military classes face each other) to serve. Listen to Ge Dahong sing again: "This morning, the ministers worked hard, there is something to play, and there is nothing to retreat!"

The voice fell, and suddenly I saw a person in the literary class holding up the fenban, and said loudly: "Minister, Zuo Du Yu Shi Tao Yun has something to play Your Majesty!"

"Tao Qing, what's going on?" The emperor smiled and took a sip of the teacup, his eyes swept over the people below, seeing Xie Minhong bowing his head and saying nothing, Zheng Shou still had that eternal smile on his face, Zhao Tuo wondered in his heart, so he decided to see what other dramas were behind.

Tao Yun then stepped forward from class, turned to face the emperor, and said

"Your Majesty, this morning, there were six people, including Yu Shi Hu Ximin, who jointly submitted a petition to impeach the second assistant Cui.

Mr. Cui is in charge of the household department, but recently the household department has been in charge of major cases, tax silver, and grain have been killed one after another, among which the rat has not been able to visit and bring it to justice, so the six people entrusted the minister to submit this bullet. Your Majesty, please!"

As he spoke, he took out Zhang Zuo from his arms, and it read "Respectfully ask for the impeachment of Cui Junyong for dereliction of duty and indulgence *** Zazi". Zhao Tuo only glanced at the cover and frowned.

He guessed that someone would make irresponsible remarks about Cui Junyong next, but he never thought that there would be topics such as "indulgence ***" in this crime.

He quickly glanced inside the hall and put the fold on the table. He said, "Yes, I know. Anything else?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, I hope that Your Majesty will make a statement in front of all the ministers, or appoint a judge to hear it. This is no ordinary crime!" Tao Yun said deeply. His words immediately caused an uproar among the ministers!
