Chapter 22 Officials do not protect each other
In the inner house of Yin Yamen in Jiankang Mansion, Yin Dujiang of Sipin Mansion was lying on the recliner and listened to a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper next to him describe what happened at the yamen, and when he heard Lao Jiu appear, he sighed and stood up from the recliner.
He had indeed guessed the identity of Tang Yulou's little prince, after all, the four-rank official position must have something to do with Tiange in the imperial capital, and the little prince was driven out by the No. 1 prince of Tianzi, under the inquiry of people with a heart, naturally it quickly spread to the yamen of many state capitals.
As for the purpose of the message, it is only clear to the person concerned in his own heart.
Du Jiang is a member of the old school of the DPRK and China, and the former head of Zaifu, Mr. Xiao Da, who has stepped down, is his mentor and a guide to officialdom.
After a great turmoil, the Tongqi Dynasty now dominates the largest territory in the world, and the whole process is full of games between the old school and the reformists, among which the old school is mostly the Wenchen gate lord family, insisting on sticking to their original territory, and the world is peaceful.
The more wars and the more people who die, the fewer people who read.
The reformists were mainly based on the military, and the new school of scholars and nouveau riche believed that the original chaos was because the country was too comfortable, and it was too soft to deal with things internally and externally, so it finally led to the loss of state authority, causing a catastrophe and almost destroying the country.
Empress Ehuang, who has been deeply affected by the national turmoil, has been strongly supporting innovation over the years, coupled with the fact that the military power is in the hands of her and her cousin Tang Cheng, and a series of new policies have given many poor scholars the opportunity to ascend to the sky, so so far, the imperial power is stable enough.
However, the real peace in the world is only five years, five years ago, after Tang Cheng completed the last foreign use of troops, he finally made the Tongqi territory from the easternmost endless East China Sea to the foot of the Buzhou Tianshan Mountain in the west, if it were not for the fact that the Buzhou Tianshan Mountain was so high that it could not be seen at the top, it was really impossible to cross it after trying many times, I am afraid that the Tang family iron cavalry would hit the back of the mountain.
On the back is Tianzhu, and now only a line of heaven can pass, at most enough for a carriage to pass through.
From the South China Sea in the south to the desert in the north, the entire Tongqi Dynasty covers an area of 10 million miles, the first in the world.
This may be the reason why the old school of defense in the DPRK and China now believes that there is no need to continue to raise troops on a large scale, and there is no war.
In fact, in the middle of the northern desert, there is another kingdom united by the belief of "gathering sand into stones", which is composed of twelve large and small kingdoms, and its territory is not much smaller than that of Tongqi.
It is nothing more than that in the eyes of many Tongqi people, they are just a group of wild people living in the desert and barren land.
In fact, only those who have really entered the desert know that there are barren lands in the desert, more fertile water and grass, herds of cattle, sheep and wild horses, and even tall cities like the Central Plains are not uncommon.
On the border with Qi to the southwest is the hot and dry country of the southwest, called Yipoluo, which is also a kingdom composed of countless islands of different sizes.
As for those reckless lands that have not yet been set foot by a large number of Han people, there are even more, and now there are eight places, known as the Eight Wildernesses.
Four countries and eight famines, is the pattern of the whole world today.
Du Jiang received the news from the imperial capital, not only that the little prince Tang Yulou had left Tiange, but also that dozens of officials of all sizes in the imperial capital and local state capitals had been imprisoned or dismissed because of the previous request to dismiss the army.
"Those who don't know are not guilty" This is what he said to his son Du Shaobai, and it didn't come from the eye-catching words on the letters of the imperial capital.
I have to say that his position in the old school eunuch forest is already very important, otherwise he should be one of the officials in Shangben.
This time it was supposed to be just an attempt, but it hit a wall.
......
Outside the gate of the mansion, Lao Jiu watched with great interest as the Qiqiao Pavilion Master and the Young Pavilion Master waved their swords to resist the waves of internal strength he emitted, and he was obviously more interested in those two good swords.
Martial Dao Nine Pins, I have to admit that he is already a master, especially in this Jiankang Mansion, he must not be able to find a second force.
A nine-pin, an eight-pin, such a force is willing to become a staff member of the Fu Yin Yamen, such a thing is left to Tang Yulou to consider, Lao Jiu only needs to clean up the battle situation.
The vertical and horizontal sword qi struggled to support, and the purple qi wave was also about to burst.
"Lao Jiu, take down these two guys first, Young Master Ben has something to ask them well. Tang Yulou sneered and looked at Du Shaobai and the three on the steps, and then said to Lao Jiu.
"Gotcha. ”
Lao Jiu agreed, and the red sandalwood crutch stomped on the ground, and the crutch was centered on one end of the crutch, and a circle of dirt splattered out.
Lao Jiu's trouser legs did not move at all, but there were thousands of weather surging on his face, I didn't see him have too much movement, when the waist pole was slowly straightening, his chest cavity was already bulging, and his qi was rippling.
For a time, the front of the government was like a strong wind, and the purple and blue swords were shaky.
"Above the nine products, the seniors are merciful. The old man with the purple sword exclaimed in surprise, his face already reddening, and the pressure suddenly increased.
He is Mr. Chai in Du Shaobai's mouth, the current pavilion master of the Qiqiao Pavilion, and the master of the Nine Grades.
As soon as he spoke, his son on the side was also shocked, once someone from the Jianghu forces advanced to the ninth grade, it would naturally gradually find that the ninth grade was not the peak, and there was a more ethereal realm above it.
Lao Jiu's shot made the master of the Tangram Pavilion look dead and gray, and made the young pavilion master almost lose his soul.
Above the nine grades is the grandmaster, and below the grandmaster is the ants.
Lao Jiu is happy, but he is a guy with some eyesight, but he has already made a move, how can he give up halfway.
After he finished accumulating, he stretched out his right hand with only four fingers to explore the void, and the two internal forces burst out with a bright luster, turning into grappling claws in the air and roaring away.
The long sword held by the two fathers and sons of the Qiqiao Pavilion, who had long lost their confidence, was instantly snatched, and their arms drooped, either dislocated or must have been abolished, and the two of them knelt on the ground, moaning in pain.
Smack, smack, smack!
Tang Yulou stepped forward with applause, and the wind was calm in front of the yamen.
"Lao Jiu, are these two masters?" Tang Yulou stood beside Lao Jiu, touched his chin and asked.
"Well, let's make a living, it's better than Xiao Zhu and Broken Knife. Lao Jiu was still on crutches, as if he remembered something, turned his head to Tang Yulou beside him and continued: "Young master, I won't be interested in playing like this in the future, if there is a good one, how can my old man explain to Tiange's family?"
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, it won't be in the future. Tang Yulou laughed, patted Lao Jiu's shoulder and said.
In fact, he was also a little scared at this time, he didn't expect that there would be so many good players in the Yin Yamen of this mansion, and he originally thought that with Lao Zhu Podao, a few of them would be enough to live in the scene, who knew that if Lao Jiu was not there, he would almost be stumped.
Thinking of this, he glanced back at Lao Zhu and Po Dao, thoughtfully, it seems that the strength of his two followers is still too low, what can be done to make them improve their strength quickly?
This matter is very important, go back and think about it with Lao Jiu.
And Zhu Qiyi and Xiao Yidao were stared at by Tang Yulou for a while, and their hearts were furious. That kind of look is the same as the look I saw outside Jiankang City, he is the prey, and the little prince is the hunter.
"Young Master Du is really domineering, he guessed the identity of Young Master Ben, and he dared to act like this, admire, admire. Tang Yulou didn't care about the two Jianghu fathers and sons, and said directly to Du Shaobai, his tone full of coldness.
Du Shaobai's heart trembled, and his face was forced to calm down: "What does Your Excellency mean? This is the second time we have met, and we don't know anything except that Your Excellency is the owner of the Basho Courtyard. ”
"Hmph, Du Jiang, if you don't show up again, just wait to collect your son's body. Tang Yulou sneered and shouted at the gate of the mansion.
The closed gate opened again, and more than 30 people from two groups of officials came out in two columns, and Du Jiang, who was dressed in a four-grade official uniform, stepped out of the gate in the middle, and then clasped his fists and saluted.
"Yin Dujiang of Jiankang Mansion, see the little prince, and never came away to ask the little prince to forgive his sins. ”
The master knelt on the ground, and Du Jiang bowed his head and clenched his fists without kneeling.
Du Shaobai's complexion finally changed greatly, and he fell to his knees, now that the matter has come to this, he can only resign himself to fate.
"Yin Dujiang of Jiankang Mansion, the four-grade master is really powerful, and he is really bold to let his son openly harm the little prince of the palace. Tang Yulou didn't say that he was exempt, and no one dared to stand up.
Du Jiang's face remained unchanged and he stood up and said: "Where did the little prince say, the lower officials also just guessed the identity of the little prince, how can the dog know such a noble person as the little prince?"
"Haha, it's not a crime to be a person who doesn't know, you guys started this idea from the beginning, right?" Tang Yulou didn't laugh angrily, raised his feet and walked up the steps, Lao Jiu and Qingzhu followed closely behind him.
"But you have forgotten who Young Master Ben is, and such an excuse is of no use to a gentleman at all. Standing on the top of the steps and glancing at Du Shaobai with contempt, Tang Yulou said to Du Jiang with a smile.
Looking at such a smile, Du Jiang's whole body was cold.
That's right, Tang Yulou's prestige has long been famous all over the world, and it has spread far and wide to Tianzhu. How can it work to reason with a fool? Moreover, this reasoning is still too ill-intentioned.
When Du Jiang was helpless, the sound of horses' hooves sounded at the end of the street, and along with the prestige, a large group of people and horses came, and the two leaders were acquaintances, the Dongjiang thorn made Ye return to his heart, and the general of the broad sea, Xi Longquan.
Originally, I thought that with these two people coming, Tang Yulou would not dare to do that extreme thing no matter how much he was embarrassed, but who would have thought that without Tang Yulou opening his mouth, the thorn made Ye Huanxin shout from afar: "After investigation, Yin Dujiang Zongzi of Jiankang Mansion committed murder, intending to persecute the children of the royal family, and colluded to frame Jiangxia County Ling Xie You'an. ”
"In addition, the people of the Qiqiao Pavilion entered the public gate and acted recklessly, and there was a case of robbery and murder and theft, and they were all taken down for a thorough investigation today. ”
After Ye Huanxin finished speaking, he glanced at Xi Kuohai on the side, the latter waved his hand, and a hundred elite horsemen behind him immediately stepped forward to pull out their swords and lock people.
In an instant, Yin of the First Mansion was imprisoned, the Qiqiao Pavilion of the Jianghu forces collapsed, and the news spread quickly throughout Jiankang and even the Dongjiang River, and the little prince Tang Yulou finally really appeared in people's field of vision.
"Mr. Ye, don't come to harm?" When Ye Huanxin approached, Tang Yulou stepped forward and took the reins of the horse he was riding, looked up and said with a smile.
"Hmph, how dare you worry about the little prince. Ye returned the knife and mouthed the tofu heart, and immediately dismounted and grabbed the reins and threw them to the entourage.
The nine assassins in East Kyushu said that they were personally selected by the Ministry of Shangshu, but in fact, before they became scholars, they all had the same experience, that is, they had been a gentleman in the Tianzhu Palace for a short time, and the main teaching was the little prince, Tang Yulou.
At this time, the assassin saw the little prince, and it was also a gentleman who met the students.
It's more like family meeting family!
