Chapter 99 Kyoto
Dali Kyoto is divided into inner city, outer city and outer city.

The inner city is populated by dignitaries, the most typical representative of which is the emperor's palace, while the outer city is populated by ordinary people.

As for the outer city, the people living here come from the surrounding prefectures and counties. They settled outside the city spontaneously for their livelihood, and a large number of residential areas have been formed one after another for hundreds of years.

As the population grew, the court could not watch it turn into a chaotic slum, so it appointed officials to manage it.

After decades of evolution, the outer city has become a part of Kyoto. Even a few years ago, Shuntian Prefecture had intended to build another city wall outside the outer city, but it was rejected by the imperial court on the grounds that it was expensive.

When Yuhuatian arrived in Kyoto, it was during the period of Dali's three-year martial arts.

The entire Kyoto can be said to be overcrowded, and a large number of young warriors poured into the capital city from all directions, and all the inns in the capital were filled for a while.

After Yuhuatian entered the city, he could not find the inn, so he had no choice but to live in a private house.

This private house is a stronghold of the Audit Bureau in Kyoto. It is not big, and it can barely accommodate five or six people.

"My subordinates did not expect that the Governor would come in person, and I did not prepare in advance. I also ask the Lord to forgive me." Jin Chen said nervously.

Jin Chen is one of the ten factory guards who were summoned along with Yu Huatian. Since Zheng Ming left Beijing, he has been in charge of matters in Kyoto.

Later, the Auditorium was established, and he became the leader of Jinyiwei in Kyoto.

Yu Huatian waved his hand, sat on the shabby bench, and said, "It's okay, have you found out what the Governor asked you to investigate?"

"It has been found out that the current Minister of Rites is Xie Yinggui, 68 years old this year, and lives in Anguifang in the inner city."

"Shangshu Zhao Mo, 58 years old, lives in Renshoufang, Zhang Li, 62 years old, lives in Anguifang, Minister of the Ministry of War, Lin Xu, 65 years old, lives in Nanqingfang, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Chen Zheyuan, 57 years old, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Lives in Renshoufang, and Du Wenjie, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is 56 years old and lives in Zhaoqingfang."

"The other examiner in charge of this martial arts exam is Chen Ze, the right governor of the Governor's Mansion. He is 66 years old and lives in Guixunfang."

As Jin Chen spoke, he took out a book and handed it to Yu Huatian.

The booklet clearly records the detailed information of the important officials of the central government, not only the six, but also the Dudu's House, the Inspectorate, the Dali Temple, the General Secretary, etc. Of course, those princes are also indispensable.

It includes their age, residence, family population, personality and interpersonal relationships, etc., which are very detailed.

However, most of this information is superficial, and Jin Yiwei's current ability cannot reveal too many secrets.

Yu Huatian read it carefully and said, "Who do you think is most likely to be brought down among the six important ministers?"

Jin Chen was slightly stunned, and asked with some doubts, "What does the Governor mean?"

"His Royal Highness wants Liang Songnian and Song Yan to return to Beijing, who do you think is better to start with?" Yu Huatian said.

Jin Chen pondered for a moment, and said: "The Ministry of Rites would be the best option for Liang Songnian to return to Beijing. Xie Yinggui is already 68 years old and in poor health. He had written a letter to ask for his appointment before, but His Majesty refused."

"As for the other ministers~" Jin Chen paused for a while before saying, "Elder An Ning Guo An."

"Old An Ge is more than 80 years old this year. Although he is a cabinet minister, he rarely participates in political affairs. If he becomes an official, he will inevitably select an important minister from the Six Departments to join the cabinet."

"But Governor, I'm afraid this kind of thing is a little troublesome to operate." Jin Chen looked at Yu Huatian.

He has said it very euphemistically, this is a little troublesome, it is simply difficult to reach the sky.

Above the courtroom, it is intricate and complicated, and it can be imagined that it is difficult to operate two ministers.

The two people Jin Chen chose were very suitable, but it was easy to get people down, but it was difficult to get people up.

Although Liang Songnian and Song Yan were not bad in every aspect, there were quite a few officials like them in the imperial court, not to mention a lot of them, but it was easy to pick a dozen or so.

Yu Huatian knew this very well, but he felt that there was still a chance.

First of all, he has a lot of resources at his disposal. The first one is Eunuch Wei. As a servant who has accompanied Zheng Qingsong for decades, Eunuch Wei's most powerful aspect is that he can influence Zheng Qingsong.

The second one is Duke Ding Wei Shang. Although Wei Shang's power is in the military, he can also affect the court. It's just that he is willing to take action or not.

As for the others.

Yu Huatian thought about it, picked up the pen and started writing.

"Give this letter to Yu Shangxin, keep it secret, and don't let anyone find out."

Jin Chen hurriedly took the letter and replied, "This subordinate understands."

"And this, try to get Xie Yinggui and An Ningguo to take it." Yu Huatian took out two small porcelain vases from his arms and said.

"Master, is this?" Jin Chen carefully took the porcelain bottle and asked.

"Gu poison." Yu Huatian said, "It won't kill you after taking it, it will only make you weak for a period of time."

Jin Chen nodded and said, "My subordinates understand."

……

The bright moon hung in the sky, and the bustling Kyoto became quiet.

Yu Shangxin was sitting in the study at home, looking at the letter in his hand solemnly.

"Five princes, Yuhuatian!"

He was very impressed with Zheng Ming. Not to mention what happened when Zheng Ming left Beijing, he said that he was manipulated by Zheng Ming and brought back to Kyoto when he was in Shanhai County.

Originally, he thought that he would not be dealing with Zheng Ming in the future. After all, he would not have the opportunity to go to Shanhai County in the future.

But he never imagined that Yu Huatian would come to Kyoto after less than a year.

Recalling the scene when Yu Huatian killed the gatekeeper in the street, Yu Shangxin frowned.

Ruthless, unscrupulous!
This is his evaluation of Yuhuatian.

And now this ruthless man asked him to do one thing.

Will he do it?
Yu Shangxin hesitated in his heart.

The consequence of doing so may be to be demoted again, or even to be killed.

If you don't do it, you may be able to be safe, or you may be hated by Yu Huatian.

In comparison, not doing it seems to be the best option.

But sometimes the choice is not only based on pros and cons, but also mixed with personal feelings and personal will.

Recalling the recent undercurrents in the courtroom, Yu Shangxin said softly, "Go back and tell the Lord of Rain, this official knows."

In the shadow by the window, a figure arched his hands, turned over and jumped out of the window, then disappeared into the vast darkness.

Yu Shangxin looked at the bright moon outside the window and sighed slightly.

"I'm afraid this court will be in chaos again."

……

the next morning.

Yu Huatian came to Dingguo Gongfu with a cart of gifts.

"The king of Shanhaijun rained Huatian to meet Duke Dingguo." Yuhuatian stood in front of Wei Shang and saluted respectfully.

That kind-hearted look made people wonder if it was a different person.

Wei Shang sat in a wheelchair and asked kindly, "How is Your Royal Highness lately?"

"Everything is fine, Your Highness," Yu Huatian said.

Wei Shang nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You're not just here to give gifts, are you?"

Yu Huatian said in a low voice, "I have one thing I want to ask your grandfather for help."

"Did His Royal Highness ask you to come?" Wei Shang asked.

"I came here on my own initiative." Yu Huatian said, "But what I did was ordered by His Highness."

Wei Shang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I'm getting old and I don't want to move anymore, you better go back."

"I also ask the grandfather of the country to look at His Highness's face~~" Yu Huatian's eyes sank slightly, and he said.

Wei Shang gave him a deep look and said, "You're a talent, it's a pity."

"Go back and tell your Highness, it's best to do nothing now and stay in Shanhai County honestly."

"This world still belongs to Your Majesty. If you don't want to give some things, don't ask for them."

"Hong Tian, ​​I'm tired."

The wooden wheelchair made a creaking sound, and Wei Shang's entourage slowly pushed him out of the hall.
