Luodu, the imperial city,

It is hidden far between the magnificent palaces, and the endless ruins and tiles still maintain the most basic appearance.

The paint on the towering palace walls and columns are mottled, and the incompleteness of the brackets, eaves and tile roofs, the thick accumulation of dust and small cracks everywhere constitute a natural wild interest that complements each other.

It can be said that in addition to the large main building complexes originating from the central axis of the Dragon Shou Road, many places in the Imperial City inevitably show the mottled and decadent atmosphere of a certain Xiaoshuo Shu because of the lack of popularity and activities.

Some broken palace walls and temples even grew weeds on them, or became a nest of health and wellness.

In fact, during the offensive and defensive battles that were penetrated into the imperial city, the severely damaged palaces, palaces and buildings were not repaired, but kept as buried in the lush weeds.

The stones, floor tiles and column seats that were laid were even excavated and became ready-made materials for repairing the outer walls of the imperial city.

During this period, as the intra-court in the palace who was responsible for the daily life of the Tian family, the only thing he could do was piece together the last bit of manpower to pick up rags;

For example, the old building materials and roughly intact components that can be used in the damaged buildings are demolished and transported to other places, and the matter of demolishing the east and west walls to maintain the last bit of decency of the nominal Lord of the Great Inner.

On the one hand, the palace and the court really lack the financial and manpower for comprehensive repairs. On the other hand, the people in power who can really make decisions also lack the motivation and reason to do so.

Anyway, the real power and ruling center of this country is no longer in this big and unreasonable palace, but only the function of doing basic pomp and rituals.

The regent's faces of hundreds of ministers in the dynasty again scared the young empress to tears, and he also wandered between the corridors under the eaves of the inner inner city.

The young emperor was so scared that he snot and tears. He tried his best to hold the broad sleeves of the eunuch next to him and hid behind the imperial throne and cried bitterly. He was vividly passed down from word of mouth.

Under several city gates west of the outer land, various crowds of people who support the elderly and the young, cry, sigh, look sad, or cry, and keep crying. Under the escort and surveillance of soldiers near the left, they lined up in several long rows waiting to enter the city.

Although the war has temporarily gone, the urban area where the poor people live on the south bank of Luoshui has almost been destroyed by wasteland with bones and ruins.

Therefore, under the post-war situation where everything is in trouble, the human resources in Luodu City suddenly became particularly scarce.

However, the rubble and ruins all over the ground still have to be cleaned up, and the daily life and enjoyment of the superiors still have to continue. Therefore, the current dynasty who had insufficient population in the city to provide labor and various services decided to select household registration from the local area to fill all industries.

Of course, this process will not be so pleasant, and there are always some unruly people and rogues who cannot stand in the position of superiors in order to improve their living environment.

Therefore, in order to make them live and work in Luodu with a heart-to-heart, they had to use some tough measures and expedient measures such as burning houses, kidnapping wives and children, killing burdensome elderly people, to help these stubborn people make up their minds.

Therefore, after struggling on the road, some weak people accidentally died, and tried to escape and were killed to warn others, or could not survive the normal "loss" of punishment, it was reasonable to "Long Live Understanding" the upward and downward effect.

But no matter what, relying on this means of forced household immigration, Luodu City, which had lost a large number of people in the war, finally recovered some of its anger and noise on the surface.

However, the traces left by the war are not so easy to eliminate. It is not so easy to live and work in the city.

Those outside households did not have enough houses to settle down, but could only build some power and settle down on the ruins of neighbors. Then, due to the chaos in organization and management, they also lost their lives because of lack of food and clothing.

After finally waiting for the warm weather to return, the epidemic caused by the poor sanitation environment, fires caused by poor layout and many other changes, many people died, and they had to collect people from other places many times to make up for them.

As time goes by, the gate of Luodu is full of heads with different new and old, which are all the fates of those who try to leave the city and the lessons of the past.

therefore,

Now standing on the top floor of Mingtang at the highest point in the city, looking around, among the large ruins after being overcrowded, the various shacks and thatched houses built by immigrants were like huge and ugly scars.

The particularly annoying thing is spread in the streets and alleys that were originally straight and neatly chess game, and the Chengfang neighborhoods that were neatly square like vegetable beds, which was like a silent mockery of the "Zhongxing Times" of the Northern Dynasty.

However, compared to these ordinary people who are suffering from helplessness and waiting, there are always a few special existences that are superior to others.

They neither need to wait in line nor do they need to make troublesome summons or questioning, and they can enter Luodu from a specific city gate near the northern imperial city.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of a routine report on work in the spring, Zhang Dekun also returned to Luodu City again.

Standing in front of my mansion, I felt that things had changed, and I felt a little sad and sad.

Then he did not go in, but turned around in front of his house and turned to another garden of other industries.

Soon after,

In the villa named Tianranyuan, Zhang Dekun saw a small group of people gathered. Looking at these new and old faces full of expectations and respect, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and moved.

These people are all eyes and eyes that he left in Luodu City in a sense, and some of them were secrets that he had already left behind in the position he had left for a long time.

But most of them were him. During the short term of office deployment by the Guard Guard and East Road, he took advantage of the opportunity of many vacant positions in the city and the middle and lower levels to use his own positions as a cover to provide him with his confidants who were successively placed in one after another. This is also a way out and aftermath place.

Among them are important locations involving the construction of the army and the inconspicuous military supplies, as well as street law enforcement departments such as inspections and urban management under the Duqigong Mansion;

There were also inner city gatekeepers, officials from the General Secretary, etc., which were usually insignificant but had a wide range of contacts and well-informed positions. He even had people in the corridor hall that provided services to the government affairs hall and the officials behind the hall.

As for the most important military marshal's mansion in the world, although he was unable to intervene in it, he could still get some things indirectly through the chief of Weiwei Temple who delivered official documents and Yuhou who ran errands in the Ministry of War.

This is also the Yu Ze and influence left by him when he served as Wei Weiqing and mastered Luodu's responsibilities for governing and monitoring the situation.

In this way, after his cousin took away his subordinates and power and cleared the influence in Luodu City, he could still get limited sources of information and general feelings.

After being left outside, although he was far away from the center of power and became somewhat dull, he also had relatively less control and surveillance to develop his own team and power privately during office.

For example, he used his power legitimately to win over outstanding athletes in the army with Eng, and was attracted to the confidant corps; he recruited all kinds of heroes and good men in the green forest, and treated Yin well for his own use; under the banner of preparing for the enemy, he sent his confidants to plunder the place to accumulate wealth; and other things that could not be fully displayed in Luo...

Of course, he did not dare to expect that he could challenge or shake the status and power of that cousin. He was just seeking more means and opportunities for self-protection in the current situation.

After all, since this cousin took over as the regent, the Zhang clan, which was originally united in the hands of the big cameraman, has also appeared in some kind of cracks and differentiation.

On the one hand, the younger generation is becoming more and more absurd and voluntary, trying to escape reality and responsibility; on the other hand, the incumbent tribe members are more cautious, holding the mentality of not seeking merit but seeking nothing wrong, gathering with the contemporary regent, and doing the things that are so pleasing to the whole day.

After leaving Hebei to recruit ambassador Zhang Bangchang and openly separatist and independent, this trend of differentiation between the two ends became more and more obvious. Even the Zhang relatives who were originally placed in the area were gradually replaced and changed, or they were placed by the newly promoted young handsome mentors by the contemporary regent to conduct disguised monitoring and restraint.

If it weren't for a while, if there was no suitable person to be appointed, how could the Regent easily release the power center of him, a relatively outstanding and capable senior executive of the Zhang clan.

But for Zhang Dekun, who is relatively experienced in the army in Beijing, isn’t he that cousin who has to entrust important tasks and needs to pay attention to and prevent them.

In a sense, Zhang Bangchang, a relative who was separating Hebei, was his lesson. Therefore, it is not worth the loss to take full advantage of the effort and spirit to solve the other party.

He needs to leave some strength to accumulate time and slowly gather his strength and team while dealing with and covering up the spy and accountability in Beijing.

In comparison, the back house of his mansion turned into the private ban that his cousin was regent, and he was summoned and lingered. It was nothing.
