Guo Xiaoke's eagerness for quick success led to chaos. Later, under Li Ji's powerful killing and suppression, the situation in the Western Regions, which had been stabilized, once again fell into turmoil, with clouds and waves looming, and the war was about to be ignited. A fight involving the interests of many parties was about to begin.
In this desolate and ancient land, there are countless men who shed blood, and there are also many heroes who suffer from grief.
However, Chang'an City, thousands of miles away, was caught in a grand carnival...
Early in the morning of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the street cleaning drum had just sounded, the city gates were wide open, and tens of thousands of Guanzhong people poured in from all the city gates, dragging their families with them, supporting the old and the young, and happily went straight to Furong.
garden.
In the city of Chang'an, the guards of each neighborhood guarded the gates to prevent outsiders from intruding into the houses. Patrols and government officials from Jingzhao Mansion and Chang'an and Wannian counties came out in large numbers to guide the people along the streets and alleys, at any time.
Handle emergencies.
The left and right prison guards are in charge of the palace garrison, and all personnel are on duty. All those who are on duty are on duty. The left and right Wuhou guards are deployed along the streets, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. The left and right garrison guards have dispatched some elites to station in Furong Garden.
Every building, pavilion, and pavilion in Nuoda's Furong Garden will be guarded to ensure that stampedes, mutinies, noises, and other mass incidents do not occur.
The entire city of Chang'an was strictly guarded, and elite troops were deployed to control everything, as if it were iron-clad.
Within the Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture, several generals from various defenses who participated in the defense of the capital, as well as the magistrates of Chang'an and Wannian counties, held a final meeting with Yin Mazhou of Jingzhao to discuss their responses in detail.
Cooperate to deal with the emergency, and then hurriedly returned to their respective defense areas to take command.
Fang Jun was about to return to Furong Garden, but was stopped by Ma Zhou from behind.
"Erlang, I don't need to say more words of thanks. In short, if I didn't have Erlang to help me with the detailed planning this time, I might not be able to formulate such a thorough defense strategy. Until tomorrow, Brother Yu will treat you to a drink."
Ma Zhou saluted with his hands clasped, his words sincere and his fists full of kindness.
This time, on a whim, His Majesty Li Er decided to open the Lotus Garden on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, allowing people from all over Guanzhong to enter the Lotus Garden to enjoy the lotuses, and to set off fireworks at night for everyone to enjoy. This really caused trouble for the various yamen responsible for the safety of the capital.
The permanent population of Chang'an City has reached one million, and with the people from all over Guanzhong flocking to join in the fun, the population is conservatively estimated to reach 1.2 million... So many people poured into the streets, and finally gathered in Furong
Park, once an unfortunate group incident occurs, it will definitely be a disaster!
Dismissal from office is almost certain, after all, someone has to be held responsible.
All the officials were so worried that their hair turned gray and they couldn't sleep every night. Although they didn't dare to say anything with their mouths, they complained crazily in their hearts...
Ma Zhou almost lost his head overnight regarding the deployment issue on the seventh day of July. Fortunately, when he asked Fang Junzhi for advice, the latter gave him many suggestions.
After all, Fang Jun was in charge of such large-scale group events many times in his previous life. The county where he worked had a permanent population of only more than 500,000. It may not seem like a lot, but the mobility of the population in that era was too great. Once any event was held in the local area,
People from various nearby counties and cities flocked here, and people's respect for the official was really pitiful. From time to time, violent incidents occurred between the people and the official. Security issues were naturally a top priority, and they were responsible for many times. Naturally,
Gained experience.
Fang Jun then suggested dispatching elite troops into the city, dividing them into areas, dividing responsibilities into different areas, selecting eloquent clerks in the yamen, and dividing them into small groups.
The local gangsters with a bad record are strictly controlled, and if necessary, they are simply thrown into prison first...
After taking advantage of the measures, Ma Zhou finally let out a long sigh. All the arrangements were careful and detailed. Every neighborhood and every street was under control, and the probability of emergencies was reduced to a minimum.
, if uncontrollable mass incidents still occur under such tight defense, it can only be God's will.
Faced with Ma Zhou's gratitude, Fang Jun didn't think anything of it. He laughed and said, "Brother, don't be too nervous. Although the people in Guanzhong are fierce and brave, they understand the righteousness and the principles, and rarely shout and cause trouble. As long as they are treated
Guidance and control must be foolproof."
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Then let me borrow Erlang's good words."
The two stood at the door talking. An official wearing a blue county magistrate's uniform walked out of the inner hall of Jingzhao Mansion, came to the two of them, bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "I have met these two officers in Li Yi Mansion."
Ma Zhou glanced at Fang Jun, winked, smiled, and said, "You two are old acquaintances. I have important matters to attend to, so I won't bother you further."
This is your "little brother" Fang Jun. You two have a good talk and I won't get involved...
Fang Jun was a little helpless and watched Ma Zhou leave. Then he looked back at Li Yifu and said warmly: "In this grand event, you and other Beijing officials are all very important. You must not be negligent or slack in the slightest, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. We must fight."
Be energetic and work hard."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your advice. I will definitely do my best."
Li Yifu responded, looking a little embarrassed, and immediately said: "This official has little talent and little knowledge, and he has a lot of confusion about official affairs. He often cares about one thing and not the other when dealing with official affairs. I hope Fang Shaobao will give more advice in the future. I will definitely be a follower of orders."
From."
Even uttering words such as "obey orders" is a clear surrender, without any regard for dignity.
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows, laughed, and said: "What are you talking about, Mr. Li County? You and I were destined to meet in the examination room. At that time, I saw that you are not a thing in the pond, and you must have a bright future.
Therefore, it is only natural that we should be taken care of. You and I can be friends on the same level, and there is no need to have such a clear official hierarchy. Mr. Li is an outstanding person among people. He is quick in thinking and smooth in dealing with things. Why should I mention something? That's too modest, that's too modest.
."
Seeing the warm and hard-working look on Fang Jun's face, Li Yifu wanted to pounce on him and bite him hard to get rid of the hatred in his heart.
Do you take care of me?
Yes, you did take care of me. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, especially Changsun Wuji, you insisted on recommending me to me even though you knew it would be rejected. You really took good care of me!
What's going on? Do you blame me for being "tactful" and not standing on your side?
Get rid of it, does that mean I don’t want to stand?
My head hurts just thinking about it. I just expected you to favor me and put me in a good position. What happened? You didn’t even look at me and just let me waste my time in this position of county magistrate.
How can you blame me for changing my family?
However, he is a person who puts interests first. No matter how angry he is, he still knows clearly that if he wants to make a difference in his official career, he can only honestly join Fang Jun's family.
Changsun Wuji and His Highness Prince Jin had no chance at all, because they had already regarded him as the chicken they wanted to kill to scare Fang Jun...
Who would reuse a chicken?
He is a flexible and flexible person. He sighed in his heart and understood that he had fallen into the whirlpool of power struggle. He really had no one to blame. He had to endure this tone. He immediately bowed his arms to the ground and said with lowered eyebrows and eyes: "Fang Shaobao is the
He is a great master of the imperial court and a pillar of the empire. The subordinates respect and admire him and are willing to attach themselves to him and contribute his meager strength. I also hope that Fang Shaobao will be broad-minded and ignore past grudges, so I will do my best and never let him down."
He really had no choice but to lower his posture to the lowest level, hoping that he would still be of some use in Fang Jun's eyes.
Otherwise, it will not only be a hopeless attempt to make further progress, but will also become the center of a struggle between the two forces, and it will inevitably end up being crushed into pieces.
Fang Jun had a warm face and a sunny smile. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Li Yifu up. He said angrily: "What are you talking about, Mr. Li County? You and I are loyal to His Majesty, work for the Tang Dynasty, encourage each other, and we are colleagues. Why?"
You want to say that you have dedicated your life to your work? If outsiders hear it, they will think that someone is forming a clique for personal gain. Be careful what you say, be careful what you say."
Li Yifu is finally convinced...
After all, we are a county magistrate who has been in power for ten thousand years. We are an important official in the capital city. In your eyes, we are not nothing and have no use value at all, right?
This is completely the attitude of refusing to let salt in, shutting yourself out from thousands of miles away!
This is how to do?
Fang Juncai didn't care what he thought, this man was a poisonous snake. He never wanted to be that stupid farmer. He immediately clasped his fists slightly and ignored the dumbfounded Li Yifu. He turned around and walked out of Jingzhao Mansion. When he got to the gate, he got on his horse and kissed him.
Surrounded by Bing Buqu, he followed the crowd on the street and rushed to Furong Garden.
As soon as he arrived at his right guard's defense area, he saw Gao Kan running over and whispered with excitement: "Erlang, Queen Shande invites you..."
