Han official!

Chapter 11 Appointed as a Head of a Pavilion
They walked from the official temple in Chang'an to the vicinity of Hanque. Guo Jie and his two companions were found not guilty, while the warehouse steward and his two companions were detained in the Chang'an prison. The kitchen steward, who had not participated in stealing the tiger at the time, was also released.

"Abandon the city and behead it!"

Zhang Qian said with a delighted expression, "All three Yuan Zhuo were sentenced to beheading. It seems that Zhang Tang, the judge of the rat, is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is fair and just, and strictly abides by Han law. Even if the Yangdi Yuan clan came to buy a title to atone for their sins, they would need to buy ninety ranks of nobility, which is enough to empty the entire Yangdi Yuan clan, causing the local tyrant to decline and no longer pose a threat to you and me."

The status of misers of Yuan Zhu and the other two was abolished, and they were now commoners. Their clansmen had to pay a large amount of three-zhu coins to redeem the three from Chang'an prison, which cost 1.5 million coins, almost emptying the Yangdi Yuan clan.

Although the Yangdi Yuan clan was a heroic clan and had a lot of land and money compared to Guo Jie, who was alone, suddenly taking out 1.5 million coins would still cause the Yangdi Yuan clan to suffer a heavy blow.

Guo Jie stood on the bustling Guansi Street and looked back at the Chang'an Guansi with a twinkling eye.

He had worked in a system full of intrigue and deception, and climbed from a poor boy in the countryside to a high position in charge of a region. He understood one thing better than anyone else.

Cutting off the roots and eradicating the evil!
To put it bluntly, the heroic clan is a local evil force. The Yangdi Yuan clan transported a large amount of money and silk to Chang'an, and all the young and strong men in the clan were sent out. The three Yuan Lu and the young and strong men in the clan were all buried in Chang'an.

The Yangdi Yuan clan would be attacked by other heroic clans and would be completely wiped out in an instant.

"Go back and rest early."

Guo Jie bowed and said, "I am staying at the home of my good friend Ji Shaogong tonight. Tomorrow at lunchtime (7-9 a.m.), let's go to the Duting Pavilion in Gaojie and find a few young men from Wuling to discuss the market price of the two tigers."

He experienced a fierce battle with a tiger and then went through torture in the temple.

Exhausted physically and mentally.

Zhang Qian and Wei Guang bowed in succession and left towards their respective neighborhoods. They were tired but excited at the same time, looking forward to how much money the tiger would fetch for the silk.

In the side room of the official temple in Chang'an, Zhao Yu and Zhang Tang were waiting to seal the letter and were discussing an important matter.

"The pavilion is spacious."

Zhang Tang's sharp eyes flashed with a stern look. "You can station troops and hide your armor. Almost all the chiefs in Chang'an are guests of Dou Ying. And there's also the precedent of Empress Lü taking control of government. We must be on guard. As the governor of Chang'an, Lord Zhao should share the emperor's worries. Replace the chief in Chang'an with someone he can trust, at least someone who shouldn't be Dou Ying's guest."

Duting occupied a large area. According to "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Liu Xian, King Jing of Chen", troops were stationed in Duting and thousands of crossbows were stored. "Biography of Dou Wu" also said that "thousands of people were stationed at the foot of Duting", which shows how spacious Duting was.

One duting could station thousands of soldiers. All the dutings in Chang'an City were under the control of Dou Ying. The power of the foreign relatives was great, and many officials became Dou Ying's guests. All the dutings in Chang'an had long been Dou Ying's followers.

The emperor had just ascended the throne and his position was not stable. Dou Ying might imitate the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and start a rebellion.

All the capitals in Chang'an responded, and the consequences were disastrous.

Just the thought of it makes me shudder, let alone a real rebellion.

"Of course."

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Chang'an is a capital county, and the capitals have guards and other soldiers. If all the capitals in Chang'an respond to the rebellion together, they can gather a large army and threaten the safety of the emperor."

"Book of the Later Han" Volume 69 "Biography of Dou Wu" Wu refused to accept the imperial edict, rushed into the infantry camp, and together with Shao shot and killed the messenger, and summoned thousands of soldiers from the five schools of the Northern Army to station at the foot of the capital pavilion.

When the palace coup took place, Dou Wu ignored the imperial edict and stationed his troops in Yuduting to resist.

It can be seen that Duting is very important during wartime or palace coup.

"only."

Zhao Yu sighed, "Officials and common people in Chang'an who want to gain wealth and status must become Dou Ying's guests. Replacing the head of the Gaojie Duting, who can guarantee that he won't defect to Weiqi Hou Dou Ying?"

The emperor ascended the throne last year, and this year is his second year on the throne. His control over the court is relatively weak, and he still needs to "report to the East Palace" and go to Empress Dowager Dou's Changxin Palace to report on state affairs.

The emperor had to bow his head before the Dou family, his in-laws, let alone a mere Duting chief.

"hehe."

Zhang Tang already had a candidate in mind: "Lord Zhao once said that Guo Jie is as sharp as a dagger and a man of integrity. He would not defect to Weiqi Hou Dou Ying. He also killed Dou Ying's guests, cutting off his path to defecting to a foreign relative. Besides."

He clapped his hands and laughed, "Guo Jie has a fierce tiger in his hand and is a well-known hero in Chen County. Promoting him to the position of Chief of Gaojie District will convince everyone. Even if Dou Ying's guest, the Chang'an Wei, has some complaints, he will have to admit that Guo Jie is qualified for the important position of Chief of Gaojie District."

Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Tang deeply and said, "County Magistrate Zhang has today executed Dou Ying's guest and executed him. He has made a clear break with Dou Ying and is worthy of the trust of the officials in Chang'an. They will not become Dou Ying's guests."

Zhang Tang was stunned at first, then stood up from his seat and bowed solemnly to Zhao Yu.
