A plate of shallots and tofu, a plate of fried meat with bamboo shoots, and a bowl of crucian carp soup look very simple, with meat and vegetables, soup and vegetables, for Liu Chengyou, it is already "life improvement".

Chopsticks picked up a piece of tofu, which was tender and tender, put it in the mouth, and scavenged a mouthful of rice into the mouth. While chewing, staring at the plate of tofu, Liu Chengyou was thinking that his preference was well-known and had to be changed.

"If it's a little spicy, it's even better......" However, he still couldn't help it, Liu Chengyou muttered quietly.

"The official family, the palace envoy Li Shaoyou, is invited to see you." The waiter is well-informed.

"Xuan!"

"Jia Gong, please stay away for the time being." Liu Chengyou tilted his head to Jia Wei behind the small case on the side and said.

"Yes!" This time, Jia Wei didn't hesitate much, and got up directly: "The minister retreats." ”

Liu Chengyou's tone was flat, but with resoluteness, Jia Wei heard it. During this period of time, Jia Wei almost figured out Liu Chengyou's temperament, this is a very assertive son, at the beginning of his succession, he may tolerate his subordinates, but it is by no means blindly tolerant.

Although this old gentleman has a strong personality and is known as an "iron mouth", he is not completely ignorant of current affairs and knows the situation. Of course, as a historian, if he really blindly used his negative energy, he would not be able to live in this era.

"The minister visits the official." As soon as Li Shaoyou entered the hall, he bowed down and saluted in a formal manner. Even if the relationship is close, in front of Liu Chengyou, Li Shaoyou is also very deferential, of course, in front of outsiders, it is not necessarily.

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

"Xie Guan's family."

Liu Chengyou was still eating slowly, Li Shaoyou glanced at it, and took the initiative to say: "The official family is still as usual, bowing down and frugality, using this simple food." ”

"Just a simple meal, ordinary people, two meals a day, how many people can eat?" Liu Chengyou sighed and said, "I should lead by example. ”

"The government loves the people, and the ministers are full of admiration!" Li Shaoyou said, the compliment is true, and the tone is not fake.

There is no record on the side, and Liu Chengyou still said this, which is sincere. Does Liu Chengyou really love the people, I'm afraid he himself is a little unsure, maybe it's because after pretending for a long time, he himself has completely become accustomed to it.

As soon as the words began, Li Shaoyou was a little embarrassed, and his tone was full of contempt, and said: "The official family is frugal like this, but some people don't know how to restrain themselves, and when the country is poor and the people are lacking, they are still arrogant and extravagant, and they are extravagant and wasteful......

"Who are you referring to?" Liu Chengyou asked lightly.

"The official doesn't know?" Li Shaoyou seemed a little surprised.

"Tell me about it."

At this time, Li Shaoyou hesitated a little, glanced at Liu Chengyou, and wanted to see his eyes, but he could only see that silent face.

"Huh?" Liu Chengyou's voice rose a little.

Seeing this, Li Shaoyou's eyes rolled around, and then he said, "It may be a rumor." When the minister came, I heard that today, Su Xianggong, with dine-in is ugly and inedible, ordered the kitchen to send food into the palace, and the food is extremely precious......"

The chopsticks in Liu Chengyou's hand paused, although there were two Su Xiang in the political hall, Liu Chengyou knew which one Li Shaoyou was referring to. Putting down the chopsticks, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Liu Chengyou picked up the silk scarf and wiped his mouth, looked at Li Shaoyou, and said calmly: "Your news is still so well-informed." Even the retainers eating, this little thing, is clear. ”

Hearing this, Li Shaoyou's heart tightened, and he seemed to feel the metaphor in Liu Chengyou's words, his waist tightened, and he explained in a low voice: "The official family knows me, so these eyes and ears are more sensitive, and there is nothing to do, just see and hear......

Seeing his performance, Liu Chengyou took a sip of the tea cup on the dining table and said, "I summoned you, and I sent it to you!" ”

When it came to business, Li Shaoyou became serious, and also took the opportunity to change the topic: "Please ask the official to command." ”

"Since I succeeded to the throne, Brother You has taken care of the affairs of the inner garden of the imperial city, and everything is in order, and I am very satisfied. With the talent of a brother, the palace makes you too bent, and I want to use you as a martial artist! Liu Chengyou said.

"Martial Envoy?" Li Shaoyou was a little surprised.

Probably knowing what Li Shaoyou was wondering about, Liu Chengyou explained: "The Xuanhui Southern Court made Li Hui move to Heyang, and I replaced him with my brother-in-law. ”

"Isn't this proposal rejected by Yang Xiang?" Li Shaoyou asked.

Liu Chengyou said: "The Queen Mother has spoken, it is rare for my mother to ask me once, can I refuse?" ”

Although the Empress Dowager Li is virtuous, everyone has a selfish heart, and she is no exception. There are seven Kunzhong brothers, and the Li family especially loves the younger brother. Even if this younger brother has low eyes and skills, he is short-sighted. The envoy of the Xuanhui Southern Court was vacant, so he personally opened his mouth and asked for an official for him, and then Yang Wei refused.

"What's more, the appointment and dismissal of official positions, do I still have to ask Yang Wei for instructions in advance?" Liu Chengyou said coldly again.

Li Shaoyou nodded, and couldn't help muttering: "Xuanhui envoy is an important position in front of the emperor, can the uncle be competent?" ”

Since the establishment of the Xuanhui envoy in the Tang Dynasty, the development to the present, the Xuanhui envoy has become a real power ministry, the general consul and the three classes of the internal servant name, in charge of its relocation, suburbs, court meetings, banquets and offerings, and inspect the internal and external worship of famous things.

Listening to Li Shaoyou's tone, he seemed to look down on his uncle. However, what he was more curious about was what Liu Chengyou meant by letting him take over as the martial envoy, although the martial envoy was a close minister of the Son of Heaven and the responsibility of the heart, but it had not swelled to a certain extent at the moment.

And Li Shaoyou, according to his feelings, Liu Chengyou should be entrusted with something else. Otherwise, he would not have personally summoned him, and he would have retreated left and right, and ordered so cautiously.

"Official, do you have another explanation?" Li Shaoyou looked at Liu Chengyou and asked tentatively.

Liu Chengyou was not surprised by his cleverness, and sighed slightly, saying: "Since last year, I have never been out of Tokyo City since I went from the capital of Yedu and returned to the court in triumph. When he ascended the throne, the government was complicated, and he was busy with state affairs, except for the previous ploughing, he had not even stepped out of the imperial city. ”

"Staying in the deep palace, it is inevitable that the news will be sluggish and the ears and eyes will not be clear. Governing the country in the chapter, in the end, I feel shallow and ugly, and it is easy to give birth to politics. I know that under the rule of the Han Dynasty, the people are suffering a lot, but I don't know what the people's suffering is. I am the Son of Heaven, I should listen to Mingyuan and get the news......"

Speaking of which, with Li Shaoyou's astuteness, he still doesn't understand, and besides, listening to the news, he is good at it. Previously, when Liu Chengyou led the troops outside, he paid attention to the internal news.

"The official family wants to make the ministers ......"

Seeing Li Shaoyou's cautious appearance, Liu Chengyou stared at him and said bluntly: "I want to set up a martial arts division, and I want you to be a martial arts envoy, an ear and an eye, and a minion!" Aren't you deaf and clear-sighted, I want you to supervise the world for me, starting from Tokyo, the situation in the military, the official situation and the civil situation, and the market and the public ridicule, listen to the report! ”

"Manpower, I will mobilize a group of people to assist you, and then select reliable cronies from the army, first build up the yamen organization, and the rest will be supplemented later......"

"You, do you understand?"

Li Shaoyou pondered for a while, and then replied: "The minister understands!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou also hesitated a little and added: "Remember, what I want is eyes and ears. Wu Desi, at the beginning of its establishment, was to keep a low profile, and you had the right to spy on and supervise the monograph, but you should not act arbitrarily! ”

"Yes!"

When he exited the Vertical Arch Hall, Li Shaoyou's still handsome face was still a little worried, but it was a little excited. Liu Chengyou's new errand for him, he is very interested, spying on the public opinion of the world, and he is a little excited to think about it.

Looking back at the vertical arch hall, thinking of the conversation with Liu Chengyou, Li Shaoyou's expression couldn't help but calm down.

Liu Erlang at the beginning was really different, although he was still kind to him, but the sense of oppression brought about by the change of identity, Li Shaoyou also felt it, and even, in the process of communicating with Liu Chengyou, he felt unexpectedly worried, and he couldn't do the ease he used to be.

However, thinking of the important task entrusted by Liu Chengyou, I couldn't help but feel at ease, at least it proved that the emperor still valued and trusted his cousin.

"I have to remind the old man, you have to be more restrained, like Su Fengji and others are arbitrary, I am afraid that I will bring disaster upon myself......" Whispering to himself, Li Shaoyou left the palace.

In the hall, after Li Shaoyou retreated, Liu Chengyou continued to eat his lunch, and the food was already cold.

The establishment of the Wu De Division was decided by Liu Chengyou after several considerations. The power and responsibility are naturally incomparable with the Imperial City Division of the Great Song Dynasty, and the current national conditions of the Han Dynasty do not have the conditions to appear such a behemoth as the Imperial City Division. However, it does not affect Liu Chengyou to try, first make a prototype and lay a foundation. A systematic intelligence (spy) organization is necessary to maintain imperial power and consolidate the imperial throne.

Of course, Liu Chengyou, the original intelligence organization "Xiao", has no intention of disbanding, but just wants to hide it deeper.

Staring at the simple food on his case, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sigh a little coldly: "I thought that Yang and Shi would be the first to clean up the court, perhaps, they have to change the order?" ”
