Chapter 2413 The seventh day of July
Guo Xiaoke's eagerness for quick success led to chaos. Later, under Li Ji's powerful killing and suppression, the situation in the Western Region, which had been stabilized, once again fell into turmoil. Waves and clouds were raging, beacons were about to ignite, and a fight involving multiple interests was about to begin. In this desolate and ancient land, there are countless men bleeding, and not only many heroes grieving.
However, the city of Chang'an, thousands of miles away, was caught up in a grand carnival...
On the early morning of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the street cleaning drum had just sounded and the city gates were wide open. 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 Chang'an City, the gatekeepers of each neighborhood guarded the gates, preventing outsiders from intruding into the lanes. Patrol officers and government officials from Jingzhao Prefecture, Chang'an and Wannian counties came out in full force 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 deployed some elites to station in Furong Garden. Every building, pavilion, and pavilion in Nuoda's Furong Garden will be guarded to prevent stampedes, mutinies, noise, and other mass incidents from happening.
The entire city of Chang'an was strictly guarded, and elite troops were deployed everywhere, as if it were iron-clad.
Within the Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture, several generals from various guards 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. After cooperating and handling the emergency, they hurriedly returned to their respective defense areas and took 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, it is conservatively estimated that the population must 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 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, they complained crazily in their hearts...
Ma Zhou almost died overnight regarding the deployment issue on the seventh day of July. Fortunately, when he asked Fang Junzhi for advice, the latter gave him a lot of advice.
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 nearby counties and cities flocked here, and people's respect for the government was pitifully low. From time to time, violent incidents occurred between the people and the government. 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 sections and dividing responsibilities. He selected eloquent clerks and officials in the yamen to divide them into small groups and distribute them in densely populated areas to promote the awareness of safe travel and abide by laws. The local ruffians with bad records are strictly controlled, and when necessary, they are simply thrown into prison first...
Once the measures were taken, Ma Zhou finally let out a long sigh. All arrangements were careful and detailed. Every neighborhood and 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 brave and brave, they understand the righteousness and reason, and rarely shout and cause trouble. As long as they are punished, 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."< br>
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 any more."
This is your "little brother" Fang Jun. You two have a good talk and I won't get involved...
Fang Jun was 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 then 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 me more advice in the future. I will definitely be a follower of orders." From. ”
Even saying the words "submit one's orders" is a blatant 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 could see that you are not a thing in the pond, and you must have a bright future. So take care of it , It is a matter of course. You and I can be friends on the same level, and there is no need to have such a clear hierarchy. Mr. Li is an outstanding person, quick in thinking and smooth in dealing with things. Why should I be 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 the matter, are you blaming 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 to good use. What’s the result? Why don't you even look at me and just let me waste 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 invest in Fang Jun's family.
Changsun Wuji has no chance with His Highness Prince Jin, because they have already regarded him as the chicken they intend to kill to scare Fang Jun...
Who would reuse a chicken?
He was 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" He is a great figure in the imperial court and a pillar of the empire. The subordinates respect and admire him, and are willing to be attached to him and contribute their meager efforts. I also hope that Fang Shaobao will be broad-minded and ignore past grudges, so the subordinates will do their best and will 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, not only will it be a hopeless attempt to make progress, but it 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 and serve the Tang Dynasty. We encourage each other and are colleagues. Why?" If outsiders heard this, they would think that they were forming a clique for personal gain. 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, an important place in the capital, and an official from one place. 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!
What can we 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 her. Surrounded by Bing Buqu, they rushed to Furong Garden along with the crowd on the street.
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..." (End of Chapter)
