Chapter 786: Nobles and Deceitful
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Kou Sui almost laughed, Hou Ba impeached Zhu Fu, and suggested that Zhu Fu be killed, His Majesty is good, not only will he not be killed, but he will also let Zhu Fu be the ruling Jinwu.
Although after the restructuring, the real power of Zhi Jinwu was greatly weakened, and he basically withdrew from the list of Jiuqing, but there was no real power, and that was also Zhi Jinwu, which was much more prominent than Youzhou Mu.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty's decision to let Wenchen be the ruling Jinwu must have been after some careful consideration. ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he laughed and praised: "Ziyi still knows my heart well." ”
Zhi Jingo is in charge of the security of the capital, and is the last line of defense to protect the capital, and if this line of defense causes chaos, it will directly threaten the palace.
Therefore, the person who appoints Zhijinwu must first be the most trustworthy person in Liu Xiu, and secondly, it is best not to be a brave and warlike general. Choosing and choosing, in Liu Xiu's mind, there is no one more suitable than Zhu Fu.
No matter what Zhu Fu is or how many shortcomings he has, he is really loyal enough to Liu Xiu, and in addition, Zhu Fu himself is also a very capable person, giving advice to Liu Xiu and participating in the formulation of many national policies.
Kou Sui said with a smile: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and Weichen is ashamed of himself. ”
Liu Xiu smiled: "Ziyi is too humble. ”
On the way south, Liu Xiu was not idle, and received some important recitals from time to time.
He had just activated Hou Ba, but as soon as the latter took office, he impeached Zhu Fu, which made Liu Xiu very unhappy, and he was also thinking about whether to remove Hou Ba from his official position.
After Kou Sui said this, Liu Xiu gave up this idea and decided to continue to retain Hou Ba, but he would not punish Zhu Fu, but instead transferred Zhu Fu from Youzhou back to the capital to serve as the ruling Jinwu.
The next day, Liu Xiu issued an order to appoint Kou Sui as the Taishou of Runan and the Taishou of Yingchuan, and Hou Ying took over.
In addition, the original Chengyi Marquis of Kou Sui was renamed the Marquis of Yongnu. Chengyi is a small county, with only more than 1,000 households, but Yongnu is a veritable large county, with a population of tens of thousands of households.
Liu Xiu renamed Kou Sui as the Marquis of Yongnu, so that Kou Sui also became one of the ten thousand marquis of the Luoyang Imperial Court, alongside Deng Yu. Through Liu Xiu's reward, it can also be seen that he appreciates and relies on Kou Sui.
In Yangzhai, Liu Xiu only stayed for two days, and on the third day, Liu Xiu set off and continued to the south, heading towards Nanyang.
To make a long story short, within a few days, Liu Xiu and his party crossed Yingchuan and entered the Nanyang territory.
Today's Nanyang is very different from before.
When the Han army marched south to Nanyang, Nanyang could be described as full of devastation, and the people of the counties were displaced, and now, looking at the counties of Nanyang, they are all prosperous, chaotic, and overcrowded.
Not long after Liu Xiu and others entered Nanyang, they went further on, and Ye County.
Ye County is located near the junction of Nanyang and Yingchuan, and is a large county seat. In the past, the population of Yexian County exceeded 10,000 people, and now, it is estimated that there are as many as 40,000 or 50,000 people in Yecheng City.
Even the villages around Ye County are overcrowded. As soon as the Son of Heaven's honor guard entered the territory of Ye County, the county magistrate brought the county government officials to greet him. The place to greet him was at least twenty miles away from Yecheng.
Ye County's name is Li Jian, a middle-aged man in his early forties, and when he saw the Son of Heaven's honor guard coming from a distance, he immediately knelt on his knees and kowtowed forward. The county officials behind also knelt down and kowtowed in unison.
When the honor guard approached, it stopped. Li Jian peeked and saw a young man in a black crown dress walking down from a carriage, and he hurriedly said loudly: "Weichen Ye County ordered Li Jian, meet Your Majesty!" ”
The young man who came out of the carriage was none other than Liu Xiu. He walked up to Li Jian, stood still, waved his hand and said, "Li County Order, please get up!" Rise up all of you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The county government officials led by Li Jian got up one after another, shrunk their necks one by one, held their shoulders, and bowed their waists, not daring to take a breath.
Liu Xiuxiao asked, "Li County Order!" ”
Li Jian hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said respectfully: "Weichen is here!" ”
"How far is this place from Yecheng?"
"Back to Your Majesty, here is a ...... from Yecheng More than 20 miles. ”
Liu Xiule was happy, and said slowly: "Everyone else greets each other for ten miles, but only Li County orders to welcome more than twenty miles." ”
Li Jian grinned secretly, he couldn't hear whether the Son of Heaven was praising himself or reprimanding himself when he said this.
Liu Xiu raised his eyes and looked around, surrounded by crops that could not be seen at a glance, a piece of green, and the growth was gratifying. Seeing this, Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction and muttered, "It seems that there will be a good harvest this year!" ”
The people take food as the sky, and only when the harvest is good, will the world be peaceful. Liu Xiu, who was born at the bottom of the society, knows this very well.
Li Jian nodded and said: "Your Majesty is the true son of heaven, under the care of Your Majesty, even the heavens favor me Ye County, and care for my Han Land!" ”
The high hat he wore made Liu Xiu laugh, raised his head and said, "Li County Order, let's go into the city and talk!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty, please! Li Jian trotted to the carriage, lifted the curtain, didn't dare to look inside, lowered his head, and waited for Liu Xiu to get into the car.
Liu Xiu sat back in the carriage, and the team continued to move forward, with Li Jian and other county government officials following behind the carriage and walking forward.
They had gone five or six miles, and suddenly a large crowd of people ran in front of them, blocking the way of the procession.
Yu Linwei, who was opening the way in front, had a sinking face, and one of the military marquis urged to step forward and shouted angrily: "Bold! Dare to stop the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, what crime should you be guilty of? ”
This group of people are all dressed well, and they know at a glance that they are not homeless, and the leader is a young man of about thirty years old, wearing a brocade robe and brocade boots, and at a glance he knows that he is the son of a rich family.
The young man knelt on his knees, bowed forward, and said, "The grass people have been wronged! ”
As he knelt down, everyone behind him also knelt on the ground, most of these people were dressed as domestic servants in Tsing Yi, and there must be twenty or thirty people.
Seeing this, Yu Linwei frowned, and ran to the Son of Heaven's honor guard to shout grievances, how bold does this be?
Before Yu Linwei could attack, Li Jian and other county officials ran over in a panic, and when they saw the people kneeling on the ground and shouting grievances, Li Jian and the others suddenly felt a headache.
He is no stranger to this young man, the young man's surname is Wang Mingben, he is a well-known rich man in Ye County, with a lot of family wealth, many domestic slaves and customers, and he can also be called powerful in Ye County.
Of course, the power of the Wang family is also limited to Ye County. But in the eyes of those princes and nobles who came back from Luoyang, the wealthy Wang family is nothing.
Seeing clearly that it was Wang Ben who blocked the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, Li Jian's scalp was numb, he stepped forward quickly and reprimanded in a low voice: "Wang Ben, are you crazy?" Take your people, hurry up, disturb Your Majesty, you have ten heads not enough to cut off! ”
Wang Ben, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced at Li Jian and said loudly: "Li County Order can't be the master of the grass people, and the grass people can only come to ask Your Majesty to be the master of the grass people!" Your Majesty, the grass people have been wronged! ”
Li Jian has one head and two big, he grabbed Wang Ben's clothes, and was about to forcibly pull him up and pull him aside, at this time, Xu Ying walked over, glanced around the scene with his eyes like electricity, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?" ”
The Marquis of Yulin hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "General Xuying, this person is kneeling here and shouting injustice!" ”
Hearing this, Xu Ying was also stunned, and turned his head to look at Wang Ben. As if he had found the backbone of the main heart, Wang Ben walked on his knees, knelt forward a few times, and choked up with a crying voice: "General, the grass people are wronged!" ”
Xu Ying stared at Wang Ben and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Grass people Wang Ben!" "Who are you going to sue?"
Wang Ben glanced at Xuying, took a deep breath, and said, "The grass people want to sue the king of Surabaya!" ”
The king of Surabaya is Liu She, like Liu Xiu, from the lineage of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, according to the generation, Liu She is Liu Xiu's father.
Liu Xiu has a very good relationship with Liu She's son Liu Zhong, and the two are playmates when they are young.
After Liu Xuan was killed, Liu She and Liu Zhong ran to Luoyang and defected to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu was not thin on both of them, Liu She was named the king of Surabaya, and Liu was finally named the king of Zichuan.
Hearing that the person the other party was going to sue turned out to be Liu She, Xu Ying couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Why do you want to sue the king of Surabaya?" When Wang Ben heard this, he burst into tears, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "The grass people are in the north of Ye County, and there is a hundred acres of fertile land, but after the king of Surabaya arrived in Ye County, he insisted that the hundred acres of fertile land were his, and the grass people were wronged, so please ask the general to be the master of the grass people."
! ”
When Xu Ying heard this, he frowned secretly, he was not familiar with Liu She, and he didn't know much about Liu She's personality.
He turned his head to look at Li Jian, who lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word. Seeing this, Xu Ying also understood that Wang Ben's complaint was true nine times out of ten.
He said expressionlessly, "You come with me!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Liu Xiu's carriage.
Wang Ben looked happy, hurriedly got up from the ground, and followed closely behind Xuying. When the carriage approached, Wang Ben immediately knelt on his knees, his head on the ground, and he didn't dare to look up.
Liu Xiu in the carriage lifted the curtains, looked outside, and asked, "Xuying, what's going on?" ”
Xu Ying said: "Back to Your Majesty, this person's name is Wang Ben, who blocked the holy car on the road and sued the king of Surabaya for encroaching on the people's land!" ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, his brows tightened, he knew about Liu She's return to Nanyang Land, but Liu Xiu didn't know about Liu She's encroachment on the people's farmland. He looked at Wang Ben, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Let him come close and speak!" ”
Xuying agreed, walked up to Wang Ben, and said, "Your Majesty ordered you to pass!" When he didn't see the Son of Heaven, Wang Ben could still rely on his enthusiasm and shout to sue the emperor, but now that he really saw the Son of Heaven, Wang Ben immediately wilted, he didn't dare to get up at all, he crawled to the carriage on his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "Grass people...... The Grass Folk King
Ben, knock to see Your Majesty! ”
"Get up and speak!"
"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty! Wang Ben stood up tremblingly, and stood tremblingly beside the carriage.
Liu Xiu looked at him. Wang Ben's appearance is not bad, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and deep facial features, but his gaze is always erratic, as if he doesn't dare to look at people squarely, giving people a very obscene feeling.
"You say, it was the king of Surabaya who occupied your family's land?" "Exactly!" Wang Ben boldly said: "Your Majesty, the king of Surabaya occupies the fields of the grass people's family, the county government does not dare to manage it, and the county government does not care, the grass people are really forced to be helpless, so they have to stop Your Majesty's holy drive, disturb Your Majesty, and the grass people deserve death."
! ”
As he spoke, Wang Ben knelt down again and wept bitterly.
Liu She is a prince and nobleman, the father of the Son of Heaven, and the small county magistrate, so he naturally does not dare to care about Liu She's affairs. As for Nanyang Taishou, as Wang Ben said, he will not care about this matter, even if he does, he will only be biased towards Liu She. The person who currently serves as the Taishou of Nanyang is Liu Shun. This is also Liu Xiu's brother, Liu Shun's father is Liu Qing, who was once named the king of Yan by Liu Xuan, and later in the battle with the Red Mei Army, Liu Qing was killed, and Liu Shun fled to Luoyang and took refuge with Liu Xiu
。 Although Liu Xiu did not give Liu Shun the title of king, he also gave him the title of marquis, and Liu Shun's fief was even larger than Deng Yu, which was several times that of many marquis relatives. Liu Xiu is indeed very generous, whether it is to his subordinates or to his fellow clansmen
of the clansmen.
Liu She is Liu Xiu's father, Liu Shun is Liu Xiu's brother, and in terms of seniority, Liu She is naturally Liu Shun's father.
As Liu Shun, who is the Taishou of Nanyang, how can he take care of Liu She? Yu Private, that is disrespectful to the elders, Yu Gong, he is just Hou, and Liu She is the king, how can Hou manage the king's head? Therefore, Liu She occupied Wang Ben's field, no one cared about it, and no one asked, and Wang Ben, who had no way to complain, could only take risks and come to Liu Xiu to sue the royal complaint.
