    One hundred and thirty main towns

    ? Outskirts of Luojing, Royal Cemetery.

    In the wilderness on the eastern outskirts of Luojing, there is a vast hilly area.  It is backed by towering mountains, and the clear Wei River is like a green jade belt surrounding it. It has lush vegetation, luxuriant flowers and birds, broad scenery, and magnificent mountains and rivers.

    When Emperor Tianwu, the founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was in his later years, the palace began to prepare to build his mausoleum and looked for a suitable location around Luojing.  The three Feng Shui masters hired by the royal family with huge sums of money all took a fancy to the hills in the western suburbs of Luojing. They praised the place as: "The mountains contain royal aura, and the earth is full of dragons and snakes! Such topography is enough to protect the dynasty for thousands of years."  base!"

    Later, Emperor Tianwu came to see it in person and felt that the scenery here was magnificent and very satisfactory, so he decided to locate the mausoleum here.

    At that time, the Northern Wei Dynasty mobilized 30,000 soldiers and 100,000 civilians to build a mausoleum here, which was known as Dongling in history.  The Dongling Imperial Tomb took ten years to build. Emperor Tianwu had passed away at that time. His son Emperor Mingyuan escorted the coffin into the tomb for burial, and conveniently killed the 100,000 civilians who built the building and the three Feng Shui masters who found the site.  Since then, although the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty has changed many times, both the Tuoba royal family and the Murong royal family have located their tombs in the Dongling Tomb. The area around the Dongling Tomb has become a closely guarded security area for the Northern Wei royal family.

    In the third year after Emperor Mingyuan ascended the throne, that is, the third year of Yongxing, in order to protect the Dongling Cemetery from tomb robbers, Emperor Mingyuan set up a new army of forbidden troops near Dongling to guard the cemetery.  Because the new army headquarters is on the east side of Dongling Park, it was named "Donngling Guard".

    The first governor of Dongling Guard was Duke Tuoba Jing, the younger brother of Emperor Mingyuan who failed in the struggle for the throne. At that time, Dongling Guard had less than 500 soldiers and handymen - later generations speculate that Emperor Mingyuan established Dongling  Wei was actually just an excuse to send his younger brother to guard the tomb.  As for whether Dongling Guard can develop into a terrorist group with 300,000 soldiers and powerful surveillance forces in the world in the future, whether it is the Emperor Mingyuan who founded it or Tuoba Jing, the first Governor of Dongling Guard, they are all  Unimaginable.

    Go east from the Royal Cemetery and follow an avenue lined with tall trees on both sides. At the end of this road, there is a majestic building complex. This is the headquarters of the Dongling Guard.

    The tall black official office, the black exterior wall, the black door, the guards in black uniforms standing like nails on both sides of the door, the black stone lions standing beside the door silently and proudly watching the people in front of them, the magnificent atmosphere  It enveloped the whole place with majesty, solemnity and solemnity.

    The door of Dongling Guard is usually open. The first thing you see when you enter the door is the three-person tall statue of Emperor Tianwu standing majestically in front of the hall. The mighty founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty looks at everyone who steps here with oppressive eyes.  The pressure of Pei Ran makes people unable to breathe.  It is said that many prisoners of the imperial court were brought to the Dongling Guards and were oppressed by this majestic momentum. They collapsed and confessed before being tortured.

    Luojing Dongling Guard Headquarters occupies a very large area, and there are many institutions inside. There are majestic government offices and military camps one after another.  The huge building complex extends from the edge of the hills to the foothills of Luoshan Mountain. There is a small wooden house next to the forest at the foot of the mountain. This small wooden house was built very roughly. Even the bark and branches of the wood were not peeled off. It looked like a mountain.  The residence of a hunter and a woodcutter is similar to that of a hunter and a woodcutter - few people know that this inconspicuous cabin is the real core of Dongling Guard.

    Councilor Nan Muhe, a fifth-grade civil servant, walked in with a thick stack of official documents. The fresh smell of wood in the room made him feel very comfortable.  There was a roaring fire in the fireplace in the corner, and a tall, thin man in cloth clothes was warming himself by the fire with his back to him. A wave of heat hit his face.

    Nan Muhe stopped respectfully and greeted the man leaning against the stove respectfully: "Headquarters, I'm sorry to bother you."

    The man turned his head from the stove, revealing a clear and weathered face.  This is a very good-looking man, with light eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight and handsome nose, and a clear-cut oval face.  The frost-stained temples and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes show that this person is no longer young.  There was a deep smile line on his thin lips, which made his slightly cold face more lively and friendly.

    The governor of Dongling Guards, Bai Wusha.

    It is hard for anyone to imagine that the evil god who controlled 300,000 mausoleum guards, controlled the rivers and lakes of the Wei Kingdom, and was so powerful in the Southern Tang and Western Shu could be such a handsome man.  He looks more like a down-and-out scholar than a powerful high-ranking official in the imperial court.

    Although he has been working as a senatorial assistant for the person in front of him for almost two years, every time he sees the person in front of him, Nan Muhe can't help but have some thoughts that he shouldn't have.  When His Majesty Jingmu was still in Longqian in the East Palace, Bai Wusha was the prince's favored personal attendant.  Because of his handsome appearance and His Majesty Jing Mu's extraordinary trust and favor in him, many people have maliciously speculated about his relationship with today'sThere were many rumors flying in Luojing City at that time about the relationship between the two majesties, but they soon subsided - it was not Bai Wusha or His Majesty Jing Mu who proved his innocence, but the weak-looking Bai Wusha committed suicide.  Fa decisively proved a truth: "There is no sword that keeps cutting off tongues."

    "It's Nanmu." Lying on the soft couch in front of the fireplace, Bai Wusha turned his head. The deep smile lines around his mouth made him always look like he was smiling: "Sit down and talk. I'm afraid you have a lot to do.  ?¡±

    Nan Muhe sat down on the chair. He straightened his back and said loudly: "Zongzhen, your complexion looks much better today than yesterday. It seems that your condition has improved a lot."

    "What's the matter? When the weather gets cold, my whole body's bones hurt, and I'm about to die." Bai Wusha was weak, a blush appeared on his pale face: "Let's talk about the important things first: What happened to Nantang? Their  Is the court still noisy?"

    "The general town is wise. The magistrate's office also forwarded a report from Woodpecker. The Southern Tang Dynasty court is still arguing about the Northern Expedition. Military aircraft Pingzhang and Guojiu Jikang and Ministry of War Shangshu Fang Yan both advocated the Jianghuai defense line from Xiangyang to Jiangdu.  Attack the Jianghuai Town of our dynasty;

    Privy Councilor Ouyang Min and Hubu Shangshu Liu Hua advocated taking Western Shu first, and after gaining the land of Bashu and Hanzhong, they sent troops out of Shaanxi to carry out a comprehensive encirclement and attack on our country; and Yang Tuo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, his  The claim is.  .  .  "

    "Yang Tuo, this tumbler? He doesn't have any opinions, right?"

    "The general town is wise and knows things well. He Zhong, the royal censor of the Southern Dynasties, impeached his uncle Jikang for accepting bribes from the Shu people, so he refused to agree to send troops to the Western Shu and Northern Expedition. Uncle Jikang scolded He Zhong as a lunatic, saying  Ouyang Min is a spy who secretly communicates with our court. Now, the ministers in Jiangdu are arguing over whether to go north or west. It seems that a conclusion will not be reached soon. "

    "Since Ouyang Min published "Ping Bei Ce" at the beginning of this year, Jiangdu has been arguing about this, but I didn't expect them to be so arrogant. They have been arguing for a year and still have no results. The state affairs are like this, and the courtiers are still busy.  In the midst of party strife, benevolence can lead to success, and there is no need to worry about it."

    "It is said that both the Li family and the Shen family have sent outstanding sons to join the army, and the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty is preparing to equip a large number of new iron-crushing mountain battle armors. Xiangfan Military Region and Jiangdu Military Region have each equipped two towns of iron-crushing mountain battle armor."

    "Iron Broken Mountain? How does its performance compare with the Wanghu-style battle armor of my dynasty?"

    "We don't know yet. Beifu has very strict protection on Tiechuishan's manufacturing process and technical processes, so it's difficult to get started."

    "Inform the Woodpecker to step up the investigation of the information on the Iron Broken Mountain Battle Armor. This task is above all else - if you can get a physical Iron Broken Mountain Battle Armor, give him a reward! If you want money, you still have to be promoted, so whatever  He chooses. Also notify the Jianzhi Office and send more people there!"

    "Yes, I will inform Governor Meng from my humble position."

    "Very good - how's it going over there in Xishu?"

    "Zhang Tai, King of Shu, indulges in drinking, eating, singing, dancing, and having fun. He has not gone to court to handle government affairs for nearly half a year. The Wu Temple is very dissatisfied with him. It is said that the Wu Temple has bribed some young officers and is likely to launch a coup in the near future to remove Zhang Tai's  My younger brother Zhang Le ascended the throne."

    "Every palace in the world is as bad as ours, and we are not the only ones who have the emperor's idiot eldest son!"

    Nan Muhe smiled bitterly, he really couldn't accept Bai Wusha's words.  Everyone knows that Bai Wusha and His Majesty Jingmu's eldest prince Tuoba Hong have always been at odds. Bai Wusha has publicly said many times that Tuoba Hong is simply an idiot.

    Nan Muhe paused for a moment and pulled out another document: "The ICAC reports that the Governor of Dongping Town and the Town Governor of Tongzhi have been vacant for nearly a month. The ICAC requests the Chief Town to quickly appoint a new candidate for the town governor.  To solve the current chaotic situation of the Dongping Mausoleum Office without a leader - by the way, this is the third time that the ICAC has asked you to identify the candidates for Dongping Town Governor and Tongzhi Town Governor."

    Bai Wusha smiled kindly: "There's no rush. Mr. Ye hasn't had enough trouble in Dongping yet. We have to be considerate of his mood and give him a little more time."

    Nanmuhe was silent, he knew Bai Wusha's intention: Dongling Guards, Ye Family, Six Towns General, the relationship between these major forces was very subtle.  No matter who comes from the Dongling Guards, the new governor of Dongping will face a task, which is to avenge Ye Canaan.  But it is not easy to seek justice from Tuoba Xiong on the ground of Northern Xinjiang.  But now that the Ye family has come forward to cause trouble for Tuoba Xiong, it might as well be that the new governor of Dongling Guard takes office later - when there is a big fight with the gangsters, the police are always slow to arrive.  This is the same reason, and it can also be regarded as a sign of respect for the Ye family.

    But he still insisted: "General Town, maybe the new town governor can take office a little later, but the candidate must be determined as early as possible, otherwise it will inevitably be rushed."

    "SouthMu, you are right.  Are there any good candidates from the Independent Commission Against Corruption?  "

    "Yes, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has prepared candidates for your reference. The list is as follows: Murong Yan, Tuoba Quan, Yuan Beifang from the royal family, as well as children from several big families in Luojing: He Bixiu, Di from the He family  Di Qiuyi from the Nanmu family and Nanmu Guoxiang from the Nanmu family - these people are all candidates who meet the conditions for the positions of town governor and tongzhi town governor. Please consider it, sir. This is their resume. When you are free, sir  You can refer to it.¡±

    Bai Wusha picked up his resume and flipped through a few pages. He frowned and said, "Murong Tu, a member of the Hanlin Academy. He is good at poetry and songs. He has outstanding talent and appearance, and is charming. Many ladies in Luo Jing are attracted to him."  ¡ª¡ªI am not marrying my daughter;

    Tuoba Spring - Forget it, having a Tuoba in northern Xinjiang has already given us enough headaches;

    Di Qiuyi, an editor at the Hanlin Academy, was a good writer, good at interpreting famous scriptures, and had an in-depth study of the Analects of Confucius - the Dongping Mausoleum Office did not plan to edit the book;

    Why bother, palace attendant, he plays the piano well, and even His Majesty Jingmu admired his piano skills - Do I want to start a band in Dongping?

    ??Nanmu Guoxiang, oh, this is your descendant Nanmu - he is currently the military attach¨¦ of Prince Qi's Mansion. He is handsome and handsome, good at sword dancing, and can dance the sword beautifully.  .  .  "

    Bai Wusha put down his resume in disappointment: "Nanmu, you have to tell the Independent Commission Against Corruption that we are selecting the governor of Dongping, not to open an academy or put on a song and dance performance in Dongping. That's not the governor of a province.  What a joke! Aren¡¯t there some more reliable people? These young men, they probably haven¡¯t even killed a chicken at home!

    Within a month, our Dongling Guards lost two governors in Dongping Province.  Huo Ying is experienced and steady, and Ye Jianan is smart and wise. They are both rare heroes in Dongling Guard, but they all broke their wings in Dongping Province one after another, which shows how dangerous it is over there!  If I send these "Fengshen Junyi" young masters who can write poems and dance swords over there, wouldn't that mean they will die?  "

    "Headquarters, according to the old rules, Tongzhi's town governors and town governors can only be selected from among the nobles of the country. The Independent Commission Against Corruption has little choice, so it's no wonder they are doing this. But Mr. Murong Yi from the Murong family is still here.  Dongping Mausoleum Bureau, Chief Town, can you consider him?"

    "There is a reason why Murong Yi went to Dongping. Nanmu, you don't have to worry about him - Mr. Murong Yi will have a great future in the future. We, the Dongling Guard Temple, are small and cannot keep this god.  .¡±

    Bai Wusha sighed and said: "Only nobles from the country can hold positions above the fifth rank. This bad rule of the Dongling Guard should have been changed long ago. How many of the children of the aristocratic family are outstanding? They are either indulgent or unruly. It is rare.  Ye Canaan came out, but she was so beautiful and unlucky, alas!"

    "Governor Ye is resolute and strict, hates evil as much as enemies, is decisive in dealing with things, and is as strong as a man. He is indeed a leader among the new generation of Dongling Guards. Her untimely death is indeed a pity."

    "By the way, has the Dongping Mausoleum Office compiled and reported Ye Canaan's legacy? Who does she recommend as the successor to the town governor?"

    Because the risk of mausoleum guard work is very high, it has always been a rule that the governor who takes office will write a will before his death, which will explain the handover of some important official duties, some important information, any unfulfilled wishes, and what else is left at home.  Relatives hope to be taken care of by the court - in addition, the widow also plays an important role, that is, the current town governor recommends a successor to the court.

    Once the governor dies unexpectedly while in office, the remains will be immediately sent to the Luojing headquarters, and Donglingwei General Town and even His Majesty Jingmu will personally read and read it.  This is a text written by a former town governor with his blood and life, so the recommendation of the deceased is very important. As long as the recommended candidate is not an extraordinary person, the Luojing General Administration will generally agree.

    Nan Muhe said: "General, have you forgotten? After the death of Governor Ye, her residence caught fire and her remains were burned down long ago."

    "Oh, yes. I remember this - it seems that the Dongping Mausoleum Office has not yet found out the cause of the fire, right?"

    "Yes. But I checked the archives at my humble position. In the last report sent by Inspector Ye Zhen before his death, she specifically recommended an inspector from Dongling Guard in Jing'an. Inspector Ye Zhen praised him for being calm and capable in his work.  He has performed outstandingly in other cases. In particular, he has a firm stance, is loyal to Lingwei, and has no fear or compromise with the border forces, which is very rare!"

    "Ye Jianan's vision is definitely good for the person she likes. How old is this inspector? Chinese or Chinese?"

    "Twenty-three years old, from Chinese ethnicity."

    "A twenty-three-year-old Chinese inspector? Not bad, not bad, but a pity!"

    Bai Wusha first praised it and then said it was a pity. Others would be confused if they heard it, but Nanmu He followed him for a long time and understood what he meant.  Yes, I praise this officer for his ability and personal integrity.??Hua became an inspector at the age of twenty-three; it is a pity that he is not a Chinese. If he were a Chinese, then the main town would not have to worry about having no one to take charge of in Dongping.

    "Twenty-three years old is a bit too young. Nanmu, please notify the Independent Commission Against Corruption to keep the file and include him in the list of reserve senior officers. He will be inspected and tempered so that he can take on important responsibilities in the future - by the way, what is his name?  ?¡±

    "Meng Ju, Mencius' Meng, gathers and separates together."

    "Meng Ju? I understand. Is there anything else?"

    "There is also something related to this Meng Ju. The Ministry of War forwarded a report to the Dongping Governor's Office. It was that the Dongping Governor's Office wanted to ask for credit for our Inspector Meng Ju of Dongling Guards in Dongping. The Ministry of War planned to reward him, but because of his  It belongs to our Dongling Guard, so let us know."

    "Oh!" After hearing the news, Bai Wusha was obviously interested: "It's rare that the people from the border army also said good things about us? They used to scold us a lot! That inspector - Meng Ju, right -  -What good thing has he done?"

    "According to the report of the Dongping Governor's Office, Inspector Meng Ju made great achievements in the recent battle of Jing'an. He risked his life to save more than 3,000 friendly troops, killed Rouran's national master Amler, and broke through the Rouran Thirteenth Army alone.  In the military formation, the formation beheaded 15 Rouran commanders Aruti, the commander of thousands and other senior officers, beheaded more than 1,400 people, and also captured Rouran's royal flag"

    Before Nanmu could finish speaking, Bai Wusha had already started laughing. He was laughing so hard: "Haha, I've long heard that the border troops are very good at bragging, but I've really seen it this time! I didn't expect them to brag about us.  People are so awesome! Haha, forget it, it¡¯s rare for Yuan Yikang to give him face like this, we are honored to do this kind of thing, give Meng Ju a reward and reward him with a sum of money! "

    "Headquarters, the border army is not asking for money. The Dongping Governor's Office wants to discuss with us to transfer Meng Ju to the border army in Dongping Province. Governor Yuanyikang promised not to wrong him and promised to give him a salary above that of brigade commander.  position. What do you think, Commander-in-Chief, about this matter?"

    Bai Wusha was stunned for a moment: "Yuan Yikang wants to transfer him to be the brigade commander? Is it true?"

    He pondered for a while: "Forget it, it is also a rare opportunity to be promoted directly from the sixth-grade inspector to brigade commander. We don't want to hinder the future of young people, and we should also give Governor Yuan some face. We agreed to the border army and transferred him there - what?  , Nanmu, do you think it¡¯s inappropriate?¡±

    "It's not inappropriate, but I feel that this Inspector Meng Ju is not simple because of his humble position. Mr. Murong Yi also gave us some information. He also experienced the Jing'an War personally and mentioned the whole process of the war. Meng Ju and his  The Pohai Camp played a vital role in the process. The battle report submitted by the border troops was probably true.

    "Bizhi felt that Shen Tu's conspiracy to rebel and kill Governor Ye was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and the inside story was very deep.  Inspector Meng is a close associate of Governor Ye Zhen and an important participant in the incident. He is likely to know some inside information.

    "Nowadays, the intentions of the border army are unknown. Before the truth is found out, we cannot easily hand over Inspector Meng to the border army - this is responsible for the late Inspector Ye Zhen, and also for the safety of Inspector Meng."  "

    Bai Wusha nodded slowly: "Nanmu, you are right, I was careless about this matter. Show me Murong Yi's letter."

    "Headquarters, please take a look."

    It took Bai Wusha a quarter of an hour to read Murong Yi's letter. Then, he read it again and didn't speak for a long time.

    Nan Muhe didn¡¯t speak either. The two of them were relatively silent. They could only hear the crisp sound of wood crackling and burning in the fireplace.

    After a long time, Bai Wusha said slowly: "If the person who wrote this letter was not Murong Yi, and if there was no report from the border army, I would never believe it. How could such a bizarre thing happen? Killing Rouran Imperial Master,  Capturing the flag, aiding friendly forces, beheading generals, breaking formations - if you do even one of these things, you will lose half your life. How could anyone complete them all? According to Murong Yi, all the merits of the Jing'an victory  , it was all done by this Meng Ju, and the others were just trying to escape? This is tootoo sensational, right?"

    "You are right, Commander-in-Chief. I also think this is unbelievable. But Mr. Murong and the border army have said so, so there shouldn't be any lies in this matter, right?"

    "If this is true, it would be really amazing. Such great wisdom and courage are rare in the world!"

    Bai Wusha said with emotion: "He is extremely brave and unparalleled in his loyalty. This is a rare loyal person! No wonder Ye Jianan recommended this person before his death. In order to repay the kindness of knowing and meeting him, Meng Ju planned to die in return! Ye Jianan  His discerning eye really saw the right person."

    ¡°True loyalty and courage can be appreciated no matter where you are.  Being at the top of the Dongling Guards, I have seen a lot of intrigues and ruthlessness in officialdom, but suddenly I know that there are such people in the world, and even the cold Bai Wusha can't help but feel?Moved.

    "This is a truly loyal and virtuous man! Have you brought Meng Ju's files?"

    Nan Muhe was already prepared. He took out a document and said, "Headquarters, here, please take a look."

    Bai Wusha read it hurriedly, then shouted: "He was born in a good family, he is a scholar, and he is both civil and military. Why was such a talent sent from Luojing to the frontier? The ICAC should have killed him! If Ye Jianan hadn't seen it with his sharp eyes,  Zhu, we are almost missing out on outstanding talents!"

    "For specific details, we have to ask the Luojing Tomb Guards. At that time, Meng Ju was serving in the Luojing Tomb Guards internal security team"

    "You have to ask, but this matter is not urgent. How can we give such talents to the border army who are loyal, brave, and capable in both civil and military affairs? We have reserved this person! Ah, no, Mr. Ye is also in Dongping  ! Nanmu, you immediately send a message to the Dongping Provincial Mausoleum Office, asking them to notify Inspector Meng Ju to report back to the Luojing headquarters immediately!"

    "Yes, may I ask the chief, what is the reason?"

    "Just say that the General Administration wants to investigate the murder of Ye Jianan from him and ask him to come back immediately to assist in the investigation. Notify the Dongping Mausoleum Office to handle this matter urgently. Ye Jianan has gone. This good seedling, it is estimated that many people are beating him  It¡¯s his idea! We can¡¯t let him be abducted by the border army or the Ye family!¡±
