Looking at Liu Xiu, who was seriously helping him wipe his hair, Yin Lihua's heart warmed, and she looked at him with a smile.

Liu Xiu first wiped Yin Lihua's hair clean, then wiped her lotus feet, and finally helped her put on shoes and socks.

Originally, he planned to catch a few fish, but after Yin Lihua made such a fuss, he didn't catch anything, but at noon they still ate grilled fish by the lake.

The fish is delicious, grilled well, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which makes Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua, who don't eat much on weekdays, have a great appetite, and the two of them eat a total of three grilled fish.

After the meal, Liu Xiu didn't forget to let Xue Ying and the red paper boil water to decoction the medicine.

Since Pi Tong prescribed medicine to Yin Lihua, even if Liu Xiu couldn't get out of his body and couldn't personally supervise Yin Lihua to drink the medicine, he would send the attendants around him to stare at Yin Lihua and drink the medicine.

Liu Xiu still knows Yin Lihua very well, don't look at Yin Lihua is soft and docile on the surface, but in fact, she is very stubborn and willful.

In fact, Liu Xiu was not wrong at all, if it weren't for Liu Xiu supervising her all the time, Yin Lihua would really not drink a mouthful of these black and bitter decoctions.

On the same day, they traveled out of Yangqian Mountain, and there were no more accidents along the way, and they successfully arrived at Yingchuan County Government, Yangzhai.

Yingchuan Taishou Kou Sui had already gotten the news and went out of the city to greet him.

After seeing Liu Xiu, Kou Sui looked excited, knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xiu stepped forward quickly, helped Kou Sui up, looked him up and down, and said, "Ziyi, don't come to harm?" ”

Kou Sui said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's care, everything is fine with Weichen in Yingchuan!" ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said with relief: "Very good!" Very good! ”

Yingchuan is a big county, and Kou Sui did not disappoint Liu Xiu and governed Yingchuan very well.

Yingchuan and Nanyang live next to each other, and it stands to reason that the imperial court has implemented so many preferential policies in Nanyang, and the people of Yingchuan should migrate to Nanyang in large numbers.

However, this time Liu Xiu came to Yingchuan in person, and did not find this situation, the people of Yingchuan counties, living and working in peace and contentment, and all industries are prosperous, which is completely a scene of peace and prosperity.

Liu Xiu knew that this was all Kou Sui's credit.

In the Luoyang Imperial Court, there is no shortage of officials who are good at governing the local area, such as Situ Fuzhan and Guangluxun Zhang Zhan, all of whom were born in Taishou.

However, among the talented Manchu ministers, Kou Sui's ability to govern the local area is definitely one of the best.

Entering Yangzhai City, the city is a prosperous scene.

On both sides of the road, the shops were next to each other, and the people kneeling on both sides of the street were not all well-dressed, but at least they could not find people who were not clothed.

Liu Xiu had fought in Yingchuan before, and he had also come to Yangzhai, and at that time, Yangzhai was full of displaced people, beggars everywhere on the streets, and most of the roadside shops were closed.

The scene today is a world of difference from what it was back then.

After entering the county government and taking a seat, Liu Xiu became more and more satisfied with Kou Sui's governance in Yingchuan.

He said meaningfully: "Yingchuan is a big county in the country, with a large population and many fields, and it is the southern gateway of Luoyang. ”

Kou Sui didn't take credit for it, he owed to Liu Xiu, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has done very little in Yingchuan, and this all depends on the help of his colleagues in the county government!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the county officials present.

Everyone hurriedly bowed down and said, "Kou Taishou tortures the lower officials!" ”

Liu Xiu understood Kou Xun's personality, smiled slightly, and waved his hand to signal everyone to sit.

After the people sat down, Liu Xiu said: "Yingchuan has always been full of bandits, I don't know how the bandits in Yingchuan have been recently? ”

A county government official hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since Kou Taishou took up his post in Yingchuan, the thieves in Yingchuan have returned to the county government. ”

Liu Xiu nodded with a smile, and wondered whether to continue to keep Kou Sui in Yingchuan.

It was not that he was afraid of Kou Sui's prestige in Yingchuan, but that he felt that Kou Sui's ability was too strong, and it was too wasteful to stay here in Yingchuan, where the situation was already stable.

After learning about the situation in Yingchuan in detail, Kou Sui asked people to prepare wine and food, and Liu Xiu had a meal with the officials of Yingchuan in the county government.

After dinner, Liu Xiu returned to the palace.

The so-called palace is a big mansion, which the county government paid for and rearranged it.

Kou Sui took Liu Xiu to the house for a walk, and then the two came to the back garden and sat in the gazebo to talk.

In private, the two of them were less courteous and a little more relaxed.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "This time I came to Yingchuan, and I saw that Ziyi managed Yingchuan very well!" ”

Kou Sui arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty has praised it, and Weichen is ashamed." ”

Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Yingchuan is peaceful in the prosperous era, but Runan, but there are thieves everywhere, the county government has repeatedly sent troops to encircle and suppress, and there are many defeats and few victories, and right now, Luoyang has no troops to reinforce Runan!" ”

At this, he sighed softly.

Kou Sui was so smart, as soon as he heard Liu Xiu's words, he immediately understood the intention in his heart.

He said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not talented, and he is willing to serve in Runan!" ”

Liu Xiu looked at Kou Sui, and felt a little reluctant in his heart.

At that time, Hanoi was the most chaotic, and thieves were everywhere, and Kou Sui served as the Taishou to quell the rebellion in Hanoi and govern Hanoi in an orderly manner.

After Yingchuan was subordinated to the imperial court, there were also thieves in the territory, and Kou Sui was transferred from Hanoi to Yingchuan, only a little more than a year, and Yingchuan was also governed by him into a peaceful and prosperous era.

Now that Runan is in chaos and the court whip is out of reach, Liu Xiu wants to send Kou Sui, a capable minister, over to stabilize the situation in Runan, but after thinking about it, he feels ashamed of Kou Sui.

Seeing Liu Xiu's face embarrassed and silent, Kou Sui also guessed what he was thinking.

He smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Yingchuan and Runan live next to each other, and Weichen has a relatively good understanding of the situation in Runan, and it is most appropriate for Weichen to go to Runan." ”

Yingchuan and Runan both belong to Yuzhou, Yingchuan is in the north, Runan is in the south, and the two counties are adjacent.

Liu Xiu sighed: "Ziyi first worked on the affairs of Hanoi, then on the affairs of Yingchuan, and now he has to work on the affairs of Runan, Ziyi is inevitably ...... It's so hard! ”

Kou Sui said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty, the so-called capable people work hard!" Wechen is not talented, thanks to His Majesty's dependence, now His Majesty needs Wechen, Wechen is duty-bound, and he must do his best to solve problems for His Majesty! ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he was very moved, patted Kou Xun's shoulder, and said, "In this way, it will be hard work!" ”

Kou Sui didn't say a word, stood up, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

Liu Xiu didn't give an order, but Kou Sui received the order first.

Liu Xiu helped Kou Sui up and asked, "If Ziyi goes to Runan, who do you think can take over the post of Yingchuan Taishou?" ”

"Captain Hou Ying, you can be appointed to the post of Taishou."

"Hou Ying!"

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and nodded.

Hou Ying is Hou Jin's younger brother, the traitorous general Hou Jin, is one of the generals under Liu Xiu, when Kou Sui went to Yingchuan, he was also escorted by Hou Jin and Hou Ying, and after arriving in Yingchuan, his two brothers assisted Kou Sui to go to various places to level thieves, and quickly stabilized the situation in Yingchuan.

After Yingchuan stabilized, Hou Jin was transferred to the Southern Expeditionary Army, while Hou Ying stayed in Yingchuan and served as a lieutenant, becoming Kou Sui's right-hand man.

Now the Son of Heaven wants to transfer him to Runan to serve as the Taishou, and he really wants to bring Hou Ying, his old partner, over, but doing so, it seems that there is a suspicion of pulling the party for personal gain, and Yingchuan is very important, the candidate to take over the Taishou must be a capable and reliable person, think about it, no one can be more suitable than Hou Ying.

"Okay, according to Ziyi's words, Hou Yinglai will take over the post of Yingchuan Taishou."

As he spoke, he beckoned to the side.

Xu Ying stepped forward, still holding a tall bamboo slip in his hand.

These are all notes that Liu Xiu received on the way to the south.

He took out one of them, handed it to Kou Sui, and said, "Ziyi, take a look at this letter. ”

"It's ......" "It's okay!"

Kou Sui owed a debt to Liu Xiu, picked up the song, and took a closer look.

This letter was played by Hou Ba in Shangshu.

Hou Ba is to replace Zong Guang, who has just served as Shangshu.

After reading Hou Ba's letter, Kou Sui grinned secretly.

The content of Hou Ba's recital is to impeach Zhu Fu, and the words used are extremely powerful, saying that Zhu Fu 'defeated Youzhou, constituted a crime of favor, a vain military division, and could not die, and the crime should be ambushed.

He bluntly pointed out that Zhu Fu repeatedly framed Peng Pet and forced Peng Pet to rebel, causing chaos in Youzhou, and finally the imperial court had to mobilize the army and send a large army to the north to quell the Peng Pet Rebellion in Youzhou, which cost the people and money.

And the culprit of all this is actually Zhu Fu.

In fact, Zhu Fu should have apologized with death when Peng Pet rebelled, but he has survived so far, and the court should punish him and behead him.

Hou Ba's impeachment is not wrong, and Kou Sui also thinks that Zhu Fu does have an unshirkable responsibility for Peng Chong's rebellion, but the question is, doesn't Your Majesty know?

Why didn't Your Majesty punish Zhu Fu?

It's simple, Your Majesty's favor! Zhu Fu is the main book of His Majesty, that is the person next to His Majesty, Zhu Fu's status in His Majesty's heart, I am afraid that there is not much difference between Deng Yu and Zhu You, and how can Peng Pet compare?

It's not like you Hou Ba can compare! You have just served as Shang Shuling, and you have impeached Zhu Fu, isn't this touching Your Majesty's moldy head, and you are looking for unhappiness?

His Majesty let himself see this impeachment, naturally he wanted to ask his own opinion.

Kou Sui pondered for a moment, did not say that Hou Ba's impeachment was right, nor did he say that his impeachment was wrong, he didn't say anything about this letter, the words changed and said: "Hou Shangshu is highly respected, as early as when Wang Mang was alive, Hou Shangshu's reputation was praised by people all over the world, and even a mediocre king like Wang Mang appointed Hou Shangshu as a law enforcement assassin. ”

Law enforcement assassination is an official name, and the duty is to supervise officials, and anyone who has committed illegal acts can be held accountable.

Kou Sui is very smart, he admires Hou Ba, but he doesn't directly help Hou Ba speak, but lists Hou Ba's previous deeds, and by the way, Wang Mang's appreciation and reuse of Hou Ba.

Even Wang Mang trusts Hou Ba and entrusts him with important tasks, is His Majesty not as good as Wang Mang?

Seeing Liu Xiu's disappreciative expression, Kou Sui immediately said: "Hou Shangshu was originally a local official, and was later transferred to the imperial court, and the people who governed the land at that time were lying in the middle of the road, blocking Hou Shangshu's carriage, and the woman who was in labor also ran out of the house, not letting Hou Shangshu leave, and those who were local officials can be so loved by the people, and Weichen is also ashamed of himself!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu fell and showed a moved expression.

He picked up Hou Ba's recital again, read it again, and finally slapped it on the stone table.

Seeing this, Kou Sui naturally understood in his heart that His Majesty was still very dissatisfied with Hou Ba's impeachment.

He hung his head and was silent.

What he should have said for Hou Ba has already been said, if His Majesty still refuses to give up, he can't do anything.

Liu Xiu suddenly said: "Junwen serves as General Zuo, holding the position of Jinwu, and now it is vacant, I plan to let Shuyuan (Zhu Fu) take over the position of Jinwu, what does Ziyi think?" ”
