Chapter 41: Liu Xin is demoted

The silence of the night was broken by the sound of "huh", the car stopped firmly in front of the house, and under the protection of his relatives, Li Shaoyou slowly climbed the steps and knocked on the door.

"What about my father?" Facing the steward of the mansion who heard the news and came to greet him, Li Shaoyou asked a little lazily.

"It's in the East Hall."

In the hall, the lights were bright, and Li Hongxin, the uncle of the Han Dynasty and the guards and the infantry army, was holding his young concubine, drinking and dining, looking very comfortable and comfortable.

Walking into the hall and seeing this scene, Li Shaoyou frowned and called, "Dad." ”

"Da Lang is back." Li Hongxin looked at his son standing in front of him with some surprise. didn't look like a father, and his hand was still touching the waist of his favorite concubine. In terms of lust, this father and son actually have to fight.

Li Shaoyou leisurely found a place to sit down: "I have time tonight, go back to the house to visit." ”

His eyes swept over the wine and food and the beautiful concubine, and Li Shaoyou's tone was dissatisfied: "The official family advocates frugality, and the court prohibits alcohol, I didn't remind it, don't be extravagant and wasteful, let alone ...... it."

"You still dare to teach your father a lesson!" Li Hongxin couldn't stand the tone of this "rebel" son, and immediately said angrily: "What, you still want to sue me? By the way, aren't you in charge of Wu Desi and giving you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions? ”

Wu Desi, a secret service agency established less than two months ago, has begun to show its name.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Shaoyou's mouth twitched, and he said a little helplessly: "My lord's words are serious." It's just that the country is still poor, and we, as relatives of the country, are unscrupulous, isn't this taking the lead in slapping the official in the face? The official family is disgusted with Tokyo's extravagant atmosphere, and I am afraid that it will be rectified. If you don't restrain yourself, you may suffer from it. ”

In Li Hongxin's opinion, Li Shaoyou's words were like a person's words, he took out his hand moving on the waist of the beautiful concubine, and muttered: "If you want to talk about the emperor's relatives and relatives, then Liu Xin is much more flamboyant than me." The dignified uncles are like this, I am a relative, what are I afraid of. ”

Li Shaoyou was a little helpless, his father was really a mediocre person, and he didn't have any vision. If it weren't for the relationship between the Empress Dowager Li, it is estimated that he would only be a middle- and low-level officer for the rest of his life, how could he be able to occupy such a high position.

"I'm going back home tonight, just for the sake of Uncle Liu Xin!"

Hearing him say this, Li Hongxin became a little interested and asked, "What's the matter with Liu Xin?" ”

Li Shaoyou glanced at the beautiful concubine beside him, Li Hongxin understood, and immediately ordered him to go back to the room, not forgetting to appease him: "I'll spend the night with you later......"

"Tell me, what's going on, I want you to go home in person."

After retiring the two servants who were waiting, only two fathers and sons remained, Li Shaoyou said: "Liu Xin is unscrupulous in the army, specializing in torture and killing, and cruel soldiers, and has been rejected by the officials. Previously, it was still necessary to use it to balance Shi Hongzhao, but now Shi Hongzhao is guarding Luoyang, and Liu Xin still doesn't know how to restrain ......"

"Could it be that the official family will deal with Liu Xin?" Li Hongxin heard something.

Li Shaoyou nodded.

"That's Uncle Huang!" Li Hongxin was surprised.

"My father is also in the army, don't you know that if Liu Xin continues to toss and be reckless, if he provokes the anger of the soldiers, it will be very important, and it may even shake the country in serious cases. With the wisdom of the official family, even if he is the emperor's uncle, will he still condone him? Li Shaoyou said.

"That's just as well." Li Hongxin bowed slightly.

Seeing that Li Hongxin had followed up with the train of thought, Li Shaoyou continued: "Now, Shi Hongzhao has left in Xijing to guard the guards in Yao, and Liu Xin wants to replace him with himself and become the commander of the forbidden army. ”

Saying that, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but show a little mockery: "If he is more peaceful, the official family may still have some scruples in their hearts." But he moved this thought, but he was afraid that not only would he not be able to be the commander of the guards, but he would not even be able to keep the position of deputy marshal! ”

Hearing his words, Li Hongxin nodded subconsciously, thought for a moment, and looked like he had gained, but when he raised his head, his eyes were still a little confused: "But, what does this have to do with us?" ”

Seeing his reaction, Li Shaoyou felt a little congested, and wondered if he had too high expectations for this father......

Patiently, Li Shaoyou said to Li Hongxin: "Shi Hongzhao's position of capital should be deprived, and the position of the forbidden commander naturally cannot be vacant. ”

As he spoke, Li Shaoyou's eyes were shining: "My father is both the general of the forbidden army and the uncle of the Son of Heaven, among the generals, who else is more qualified and trusted, and occupies the position of handsome?" ”

After listening to Li Shaoyou's analysis, Li Hongxin was stunned for a moment, and then he realized his surprise: "If it is really as you say, then I may really become a forbidden marshal......"

"That's why, in the future, my father still needs to restrain his behavior."

Li Hongxin touched his chin and nodded, his expression was full of foolishness.

But seeing his father's performance, Li Shaoyou couldn't give birth to any joy and sense of accomplishment in his heart, but hesitated a little, if Li Hongxin really became the head of the guard department, it didn't seem to be a good thing.

......

"Your Majesty."

"Wei Qing is here." Liu Cheng stopped writing, looked at Wei Renpu, who came to the pilgrimage, and his attitude was very kind, and he gestured: "Sit down and say." ”

Wei Renpu was polite and handed over the two pieces he was holding to the waiting chamberlain and Liu Chengyou.

"What?"

"This is the Privy Council's proposal to go out of the town and the bandits, send troops, generals, and soldiers, and horses, please ask Your Majesty for your royal approval." Wei Renpu replied.

Liu Chengyou spread out the music and read it carefully, while Wei Renpu explained.

After the Privy Council, it was decided to lead five battalions of forbidden troops to garrison Bishui with the scattered Duyu Marquis Bai Chongzan.

As for the army of thieves, the whole army was selected and mobilized from Tokyo, and 10,000 young and strong soldiers were sent to the Central Plains, Hebei and Huaibei. Especially in Hebei Prefectures, banditry is particularly serious.

After Guo Wei, Wei Renpu and others discussed, it has its own reasonableness, and Liu Chengyou himself does not have too many objections. However, if more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are sent out of Beijing, then after repeated transfers after last year's reorganization, the number of forbidden troops still stationed in Tokyo will fall below 80,000. The Han Dynasty stationed more than 20,000 forbidden troops in the Daimyo's Mansion, Lan and Slippery Land.

Of course, Liu Chengyou is not worried about the safety of Tokyo, but has some scruples, and the control of the forbidden army stationed abroad is basically elite. I can't help it, in such an era, I can't help but pay attention, especially since Skating and Shui are so close to Tokyo. Of course, it was only a little doubt necessary for the monarch. There are more family members of the forbidden army than in, as long as the situation in the court is stable and Liu Chengyou does not die, how can he easily make trouble.

Of course Wei Renpu didn't know, just looking at the kung fu of the twists and turns, Liu Chengyou's thoughts drifted so far. But seeing his eyebrows, he couldn't help asking, "I wonder if Your Majesty has other instructions?" ”

"I have no problem with this arrangement!" Liu Chengyou said, his eyes fell on the names of several generals: "Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde are the descendants of Guo's Shumi's family." ”

Hearing this, Wei Renpu was a little surprised, raised his eyes and looked at Liu Chengyou carefully, but he couldn't see anything from his face, as if it was an unintentional word.

"Exactly. Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, both of whom are well versed in military affairs, are the best among the young generals in the army, and they are sent to attack to reap the effect of sharpening. Probably because he was afraid that Liu Chengyou would get up, Wei Renpu simply explained for Guo Wei.

"I don't mean anything else. It's just that I think about it, there are many veterans of the forbidden army, and it's time to promote promising young heroes! Liu Chengyou responded indifferently: "Use the seal, handle it accordingly!" ”

"Yes!"

After reporting the situation, Wei Renpu originally planned to retire, but was left behind by Liu Chengyou. Shaozuo groaned, Liu Chengyou looked at him solemnly, and said: "Since last year, Daoji has followed me in the mansion and served as a counselor, and I have always trusted him. I don't cover it up, I use the emperor's uncle Liu Xin, virtue and talent are not enough to ban the army, and I want to do the thing of seizing power and removing office, but I am afraid of criticism, how do I feel it, how should I deal with it? ”

Hearing this, Wei Renpu didn't show too much surprise, first thanked the emperor for his trust, and then replied cautiously: "In the previous civil turmoil in Xuzhou, Yang Xiang made a suggestion to send the emperor's uncle to the town. ”

After the suggestion was raised, Wei Renpu didn't say much. In fact, he also knew in his heart that with the wisdom and courage of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that he would have made a decision in his heart.

Sure enough, Liu Chengyou said: "Okay, for the peace of the forbidden army and the stability of the army's morale, I only temporarily wronged the emperor's uncle to succumb to the place." Reflect! ”

From the bottom of his heart, for Liu Xin, Liu Chengyou really didn't want to just degrade Tokyo like this, how could he let it go so easily with his sins. However, you have to worry about the influence, no matter how mediocre Liu Xin is, after all, he is the emperor's uncle. Of course, that's not the point. The point is that his foundation is not stable enough, and he can't do such a thing as killing his uncle for the time being, and in Jinyang, there is an imperial uncle surnamed Liu. Kill this, what does the one in the north think......

Inside the Hall of Renming.

"Why hesitate to say anything?" Seeing Liu Chengyou, who came to greet him, sitting there with a calm face, Li was puzzled.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou sued the Queen Mother about Liu Xin.

Knowing the meaning of his coming, Li's phoenix eyebrows condensed slightly, thought about it, and sighed at Liu Chengyou: "The old man has also heard about the matter of the emperor's uncle. For the morale of the army, the harmony of the court, and the society of the country, you can only avoid personal feelings, but the emperor can decide himself! ”

"Yes!"

On the afternoon of the same day, Liu Chengyou ordered the emperor's uncle Liu Xin to guard Ma Bujun as the deputy commander of the army, and took the town of Xuzhou, and the system was announced.
