Chapter 601: The Prince Introspects

After Li Yu, the king of Guangping, handed over the truth, Cui Guangyuan refused the suggestion to transfer manpower to the Shenwu army, but showed rare self-confidence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"King Guangping and watch a good show, don't underestimate the Yali servants of Jingzhao Mansion, on the battlefield, it may be that the Hui Iron Cavalry swept the Quartet, but in this Chang'an City, there are no people they can't clean up!"

At the time, Li Yu was also interested, after all, he was a young man, and he had a strong interest in how the slippery old officials of Jingzhao Mansion dealt with the Hui soldiers.

So Cui Guangyuan told an old story about the Tubo people, which is also about the Tubo people who were drunk and raped the good daughter of a family, but the person involved was the leader of the Tubo envoy's guards, and organized the accompanying subordinates to plan to forcibly confront. At that time, Jing Zhaoyin was still Wang Jie, and he planned to turn a big thing into a small matter, after all, the other party was not easy to deal with, and once he could not successfully arrest the criminal, he would cause a big conflict, lest he be burned.

At that time, there was a hereditary old official of Jingzhao Mansion who agreed to it, patted his chest and promised that as long as they were allowed to go out, they would easily arrest the criminals.

Wang Ji has always trusted and attached importance to the old official, so he agreed with the attitude of trying it out, but the old official really took less than a day to arrest the leader of the Tibetan guards and hundreds of Tibetan soldiers under his command.

This result surprised the treacherous and cunning Wang Jie, if hundreds of Tibetan soldiers intended to resist, even if they mobilized thousands of forbidden troops, it would not be easy to succeed, and the old official only used the Yali officials of Jingzhao Mansion to capture them.

After hearing this story, Li Yu's interest was even more irrepressible, and he had to ask Cui Guangyuan to tell the old official's methods quickly.

Cui Guangyuan smiled.

"The king of Guangping should know that these chief and deputy officials of the government office and the assistants at all levels who have actual errands are usually appointed by the imperial court, but those specific errands that deal directly with the people are hereditary. ”

Li Yu nodded, and he also had a little understanding of what Cui Guangyuan said.

Since the Han Dynasty, the errands that were directly related to the people's taxes and prisons were regarded as turbid matters, and officials from the right path rarely handled them directly, but through the hereditary officials in the government office.

Although these officials have a low status, with the help of the authority of the government, over time after decades or even hundreds of years, their families have also built a huge network of relationships in the local area. This network is different from that of the nobles, and it is only in the market. To put it bluntly, tigers have tiger paths, dogs have dog paths, although they are not on the same road, but their respective energies should not be underestimated.

With the help of the authority of the government and the influence of the family, the officials often have the prestige and ability to speak their minds in the local market, and the people are both afraid and respectful.

Cui Guangyuan listed all kinds of powerful things in various yali like a few treasures, but Li Yu frowned unconsciously when he heard it.

If this continues, won't these officials steal the authority of the imperial court for their own use?

Cui Guangyuan spread his hands.

"That's true, but it's been the case for a long time, how can habits that have accumulated for hundreds of years be changed in one fell swoop?"

Li Yu was silent, and said after a while:

"This time, we have to look at the methods of the Yalimen, let them do it, but all the Hui people who dare to resist will be arrested and imprisoned!"

Cui Guangyuan took the order and left, as soon as Li Yu's playfulness was gone, he began to think about the situation he might face in the future, but after thinking about it for a long time, he was also chaotic and had no clue, coupled with the trouble he was facing at the moment, in addition to arresting the Hui soldiers, there were also those unruly generals in the army, and how to subdue them was also a big trouble.

Although Li Yu asked Qin Jin for help, Qin Jin didn't seem to intend to take action directly, and only put forward some suggestions and feasible ideas in a tactful tone.

To be honest, Li Yu has already thought through these truths, but there is no bottom in his heart, and there is always a feeling of unsteadiness. This is also related to his upbringing, his father Li Heng has been the crown prince for more than ten years, although he has been repeatedly suppressed, but his eldest son has grown up under the protection of his father's wings, and everything has been paved for him. For example, the requisition and dispatch of the new army, the formation and training of the new army, and other matters are handled by the generals of the Shenwu Army in accordance with the established rules, and Li Yu, as the chief general, is only in name.

After the siege of Chang'an was lifted, Li Yu felt that the experience gained by training in the united army and the private army was enough to take charge of his own affairs, so he proposed to Li Heng that he should be fully responsible for the promotion and transfer of the new army, instead of sending him an adjutant general in charge of specific affairs as in the past.

For the purpose of cultivating an heir, Li Heng readily agreed to this request.

This is certainly an opportunity for Li Yu, but it can also become a problem. Now, he has a headache for the generals of the sons and daughters of the new army.

The fathers and ancestors of these generals are naturally respectful to Li Yu to the bones, and they can't wait to train him to become a generation of saints like Yao Shunyu and even Emperor Wen, but the minds of the younger generation are more active, in addition to the utilitarian heart, it is more unruly.

Thinking wildly, Li Yu fell asleep on the couch in the back hall of Jingzhao Mansion, and I don't know how long it took to open his eyes again when the sky was already dark, only a candlestick was added to the case at some point, and a little flame of the candle flickered, and the shadow in the room also shook and exaggeratedly deformed.

Due to his poor sleep, Li Yu not only felt refreshed after resting, but felt that his whole body was sore and weak, and at the same time he was thirsty.

It took him a long time before his mind gradually cleared up, and he stretched out unconsciously.

Perhaps hearing Li Yu's movements, a servant outside immediately opened the door gently, holding a lacquer plate in his hand, bowing his head, and tiptoed in.

There was a freshly boiled hot tea soup on the lacquer plate, Li Yu was already impatient, and without waiting for the servant to put the lacquer plate steady, he took a small sip of the tea bowl and drank it quickly.

The hot tea soup was bubbling with the strong smell of various spices, and after a few bites, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Yu's forehead, and his whole body was immediately a lot more transparent, as if the effect of this bowl of tea soup was far better than the uncomfortable nap before.

The servant bowed his head and was about to push out. Li Yu stopped him again.

"When will Da Yin return?"

Then the servant replied:

"Da Yin came back before sunset, arrested a lot of criminals, and is now interrogating and dealing with it!"

Li Yuwei was slightly displeased and asked:

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

The servants still lowered their heads, and people of low status like them stood beside the princes and grandsons, and they were all blessed to be able to ask a few questions, which was equivalent to the green smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb, and their voices were dry and trembling under nervousness.

Da Yin said, saying that King Guangping was tired, so he didn't wake up, and waited...... I'll report back to the details when I wake up......"

At this time, Li Yu also discovered his emotional changes and gaffes. If in the past, he wouldn't have been angry about this kind of thing at all, could it be that he has been riddled with troubles recently, so that his mind is unstable?

After realizing this, he immediately reminded himself that he must no longer act rashly, and as his mind calmed down, even the speed of drinking tea slowed down.

At this moment, Cui Guangyuan walked in hurriedly, and saw Li Yu sipping tea with tea, so he said:

"I just saw King Guangping sleeping soundly, I can't bear to be disturbed, and I ask for forgiveness!"

Li Yu smiled indifferently:

"Da Yin is kind-hearted, what is the crime? Tell me quickly, people can be caught?"

In fact, when he saw Cui Guangyuan's calm and relaxed appearance, he was already sure that he must have done it immediately. Sure enough, Cui Guangyuan sat down, took a sip of tea soup, and then said:

"The old officials of Jingzhao Mansion are really good, and none of the 125 Hui soldiers have been arrested!"

"The first evil can be confessed?"

Now Li Yu's focus is on whether the Hui people are soft and hand over the first evil, so that he can have a reasonable explanation for the upper and lower levels, and at the same time, he also gives the Hui people a ruthless dismissal.

At this point, Cui Guangyuan frowned and spread his hands.

"But mortal criminals, how can anyone confess calmly? King Guangping, don't be anxious, you have to take your time!"

Cui Guangyuan rose step by step from the chores such as the county lieutenant, and he has been a magistrate and a Beijing official, and he knows the affairs of the prison well.

No matter what kind of identity the prisoner is or how great his ability is, as long as he enters the prison, he is a prisoner who can be slaughtered by others, and after all kinds of means are used, few can survive to the end.

In this regard, it is no wonder that Cui Guangyuan is full of confidence.

Li Yu seemed to know Cui Guangyuan for the first time at this time, in his old impression, this person was a person who was upright and incapable, but after some contact today, he was surprised to find that he was extremely capable.

It is said that looking at people should not only be superficial, but he does not feel a little discouraged, it seems that he is still far from knowing people.

Think about it, but if Qin Jin is optimistic and recommends reuse, which one is not outstanding? Guo Ziyi, Li Cao, and even Qin Yan, who was born as a house slave, are all fierce generals of the three armies. Let's ask, under all this, if it weren't for Cui Guangyuan's excellence, how could he rely on this person so much?

In one day, his heart was shocked twice, and Li Yu's mood fluctuated faintly, on the one hand, because of the frustration caused by frustration, but on the other hand, because he recognized his shortcomings, and felt faintly excited.

It's like a disease, the early it is detected and treated, and the damage to the body will be as little as possible. In this way, it is also applicable to oneself, and it is definitely a good thing to get a timely old account before one's own ignorance and faults cause trouble.

"Let's go, go and see what kind of three-headed and six-armed people those Hui people have, dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous!"

Cui Guangyuan hesitated for a moment and persuaded:

"They are all uncivilized people, and it is hard to guarantee that they will make dangerous moves and hand them over to the old officials to deal with, and there will be no mistakes!"

Li Yu had no intention of insisting, and asked again:

"Recognizable Moyan Sira?"
