The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Although Guo Nuan has recruited more than 100 newcomers these days, there is still a shortage of people to manage the huge area, including the entire [-] counties of Yongzhou in Chang'an.Of course, the yamen in the township and county are still managed by the county magistrate, so Jing Zhaoyin doesn't have to intervene in everything.

The day before yesterday was the fourth day since the new master of Jingzhao Mansion opened, and Guo Nuan finally received a few lawsuits about trivial matters.

A couple had a quarrel, and a neighbor found out and reported it to Jingzhao Mansion. In ancient times, this was considered a crime of disharmony between husband and wife. Guo Nuan had no choice but to give them an explanation since he received the report.

But it's not easy to file a case, otherwise the civil lawsuit will turn into a criminal lawsuit and there will be a big trouble, then the two couples will have to flog each other thirty times according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Couple with family conflicts.

Guo Nuan thought, not only did the couple quarrel next door not try to persuade them to fight, but they were completely watching the excitement. They secretly ran to Jing Zhaoyin to make a small report, obviously to increase the workload of the governor of a state. Apart from being heartless, the neighbor just wanted to ask for a reward for reporting.

Come on, I wrote a note to the nosy neighbor afterwards: "It's a common thing for a husband and wife to fight against each other; if the neighbors complain first, the county will not allow it, so it will save trouble." Then the soap official rewarded him five on his ass. Board, to show punishment.

The weather is around April, and the weather is warm. Guo Nuan either received a notice from the Sinong Temple to persuade the farmers, or received an official document from the Ministry of Households to collect rent and taxes, or arrested a certain thieves. A warning sticker for prostitutes and gangsters.

There have been a lot fewer major cases in Chang'an recently.This is also thanks to Guo Nuan's predecessor, Jing Zhaoyin Liu Yan, who launched a large-scale anti-crime and anti-pornography operation a month before leaving, and Chang'an's public security has received good results.

Guo Nuan spent 5000 taels out of his own pocket in just a few days. In addition to recruiting a hundred people, there were 210 six people in the yamen. About 500 taels.

It cost 320 taels to repair three bad walls in the backyard of the yamen.Buy neighborhood patrol equipment, 200 shackles, 89 taels.Guo Nuan bought 800 ring-shou knives for the police at the supervisory office. Since he had no acquaintance with the office, after bargaining, it still cost him 170 taels.There were 700 sets of official uniforms for government officials and twelve post horses, which cost [-] taels.The rest are piecemeal expenses.

When Liu Yan was in office, it was during the Anshi Rebellion, the court was busy fighting, and the military expenditure was huge, and the Yamen did not get enough funds from the court at all. Take the shackles as an example, the wooden shackles torture tools used by the police in the mansion It was still deployed in Xuanzong's time. It is said that Yan Ruoshui led the arresters to catch horse thieves and night robbers.

Guo Nuan has always been concerned about the dilapidated plaque hanging above the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. The color of the red-bottomed plaque frame has long since lost its former vividness. The paint on the three characters was also peeled off, and cracks appeared on the wooden frame, like spider webs covering it densely.

Such a dilapidated plaque hung on the gate of the Chang'an City Government, Guo Nuan felt that it lost the majesty of the court.So he paid money and asked Ah Fu to go to the furniture and wood shop and ask the carpenter to customize a brand new plaque.Of course, the three characters of Jingzhaofu were copied and engraved according to Guo Nuan's thin gold script. Guo Nuan felt that it was really good looking when it was hung on it, plus his stern and majestic handwriting.

On the steps in front of the yamen, there are two low walls that spread out to the left and right in a horoscope, which is called the horoscope wall by the people.There is a jingle circulating among the people, and children can read it. "The yamen opens to the south, so don't come in if you have a reason and don't have money."

When Guo Nuan first took office to handle cases and accept lawsuits, the people in the streets and alleys were watching, and they dared not enter Jingzhao Mansion for any lawsuits, because everyone didn't know Guo Nuan, the new official.In addition, there are too few good officials among the people, and the yamen is not something that can be easily entered by large courtyards. In addition, the concept of corrupt officials and evil officials has been deeply ingrained in the minds of ordinary people. No, in the first few days, everyone was afraid of Jingzhao Yin , Guo Nuan was stunned because he didn't receive a single complaint, and the yamen was extremely deserted.

Guo Nuan thought about getting closer to the people of Chang'an and being considerate of their hearts.After thinking for a long time, I finally came up with an idea.Called a group of yamen servants Zhang Luo to light up lanterns and set up a stage in the yamen, and invited famous actors, theater troupes, and jugglers from Chang'an to perform popular folk arts for everyone at night, and Guo Nuan even mounted the horse himself.

That night, when the moon was high and the moon was high, the streets and alleys were filled with crowds rushing to the gate of the Yamen. Watching Guo Nuan, a high-ranking official of Jingzhaoyin, perform without any pretensions, the atmosphere of applause was particularly high. Not only were tens of thousands of people occupied the gate of the Yamen, but There are three floors inside and three floors outside, and even the screen wall opposite the road in front of the yamen is full of children riding in a row, all eager to see the wonderful performance on the stage from a high place.

Guo Nuan was excited for a while, and when he was having fun with the people that night, he played eleven Xiao tunes in succession, such as "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms", "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon", "Pingsha Luoyan" which had not been invented in Tang Dynasty. ", of course including the super-shocking rock hole flute song he played to Shengping's wife.

What is a blockbuster, the audience applauded, Guo Nuan felt it thoroughly that night.Old peasants, businessmen and nobles, girls with yellow flowers, scholars, all were screaming wildly from fans, all of them slapped their palms swollen, and the applause was thunderous. It's hot.

It doesn't matter if you blow it, it shocked the streets and alleys of Chang'an overnight. Since then, Guo Nuan has another nickname besides his elegant name Guo Banshou. The folks affectionately call Guo Nuan "Xiao Shishi Lang".

This glorious pioneering work about Guo Nuan playing Xiao has established Guo Nuan's lofty status in the Chang'an music circle in one fell swoop.According to legend, since Guo Nuan played the Eleven Xiaoqu that night, within a month, no less than 25 old bustards from top brothels approached Mr. Guo privately, asking for a lot of money to hire Guo Nuan to work part-time in their brothels at night as a performer. The price of flute reached 800 taels of gold, which can be said to have broken the sky-high price record of 700 taels of gold for an hour of singing and music by Yu Xuanji, a super famous prostitute.

However, Guo Nuan refused to admit that the old bustard had asked him to sing. When he heard this rumor widely circulated among the people, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.If those big bosses at Yushitai, who are in charge of supervising officials, knew about this rumor, they would inevitably give him a booklet to cheapen his father-in-law.

However, regarding the setting up of the stage, the public really felt that Guo Nuan is a kind official. On the second day of the performance, Guo Nuan received hundreds of petitions from the public, but there were only three lawsuits. They were resolved to everyone's satisfaction.The rest of the hundreds of fans are young girls who are full of enthusiasm, and they all come here to see Guo Nuanfang.

Afterwards, it is said that this matter was discussed even during the court meeting. Emperor Daizong issued a commendation edict to Guo Nuan. He felt that the way of bringing people closer to the public by setting up programs on the stage in the yamen was good, and the response was enthusiastic. Implemented in a state government office.
