Seeing Li Tong nodded, Liu Xiu said disapprerovingly: "Uncle and Li Zichun are good friends, and now Li Zichun is detained in the Tingwei Mansion, it is not good for my uncle to come to me to intercede in person, please ask Bo Ji to come and intercede, it is understandable." ”

Li Tong was silent for a moment and said, "King Zhao also gave Bo Ji a few shops. ”

"Oh?"

Liu Xiu looked at Li Tong puzzled.

Li Tong said: "These shops are all located in Nanshi, and they are worth a lot of money, and Weichen dares to guess that these shops are probably not King Zhao's, but Li Zichun's!" ”

Liu Xiu frowned and muttered, "There is still such a thing? ”

He really didn't expect that Li Zichun would be so bold as to use the store to buy the princess and let the princess do things for him.

Li Zichun is really not simple! Li Tong's face was straight, and he said: "Your Majesty, Bo Ji is at fault, and it is difficult for Weichen to take the blame...... It's really hard to feel at ease. ”

Liu Xiu asked, "Dimension, what are you going to do after resigning?" ”

Li Tong said: "Go back to the fiefdom."

Bo Ji has a simple temperament and is not suitable to stay in the capital. ”

Liu Boji is Liu Xiu's favorite little sister, which is known to everyone in the government and the opposition.

This time she helped Li Zichun, in the future, the people who took the initiative to ask her for help may line up, with Liu Boji's simple temperament, it is inevitable that she will not be taken advantage of, which is what Li Tong is most worried about.

Hearing that Li Tong was going to take Liu Boji back to the fiefdom, Liu Xiu's brows furrowed even tighter.

After returning to the fiefdom, they were so far apart, it would be good to see each other once or twice a year in the future, which made Liu Xiu's heart very uncomfortable.

He said categorically: "I will not allow you to return to the fiefdom. ”

Li Tong was silent.

Liu Xiu asked, "Do you have any other plans?" ”

"Wechen doesn't want to be a Beijing official anymore, if he can join the army, Wechen can also accept it."

Li Tong said.

In short, the current Li Tong just wants to leave Luoyang, the center of power.

In Luoyang, there are too many temptations, and they are too great, he can hold them himself, but Bo Ji may not be able to hold them.

This time, you can also use King Zhao as an excuse, but what about next time?

If this continues, something will happen sooner or later.

Liu Xiu didn't immediately agree to Li Tong, he pondered for a while and said, "Let me think about it again." ”

While the two of them were talking, Zhang Kun walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the county commander of Dong and the county lieutenant of Zhang have arrived. ”

Hearing this, Li Tong stood up and bowed his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen will retire first!" ”

Liu Xiu got up, nodded to Li Tong, patted his arm again, and said with a smile: "After you go back, don't blame Bo Ji, after all, it was her uncle who asked her to help, and Bo Ji is really hard to refuse." ”

"Wechen understands, Wechen retires."

Li Tong walked out of the main hall, and when he went outside, he happened to see Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben standing in the courtyard.

When the two saw Li Tong, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said in unison: "Li Weiwei! ”

"Dong County Order, Zhang County Lieutenant!"

Li Tong said hello with his head, didn't linger any longer, and walked out.

As soon as he walked with his front foot, Zhang Kun came out of the main hall, and Xuan Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben entered the main hall.

After the two came in, they bowed respectfully and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”

"Flat."

Liu Xiu had already sat back in the main seat at this time, waved his hand to the two of them, and motioned for the two to sit down.

Waiting for Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben to sit down, Liu Xiu asked, "You have both read the decree I sent to the county government, right?" ”

Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben replied: "Wechen has seen it." ”

Liu Xiuxiao asked, "What do you two think?" ”

Dong Xuan pondered for nothing, and Zhang Ben said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Shengming, expand the Luoyang County Government, and the county government's governance of Luoyang will be more handy in the future." ”

"Tell me what you think."

Zhang Ben Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, Weichen plans to expand the county soldiers to a battalion. ”

"Oh?"

Liu Xiuxiao asked: "Tell me, why do you want to expand the county soldiers to a battalion?" ”

According to Liu Xiu's restructured establishment, one battalion is 2,000 people.

Five people are a team, one is a military chief, ten people are a team, one is a team leader, fifty people are a team, one team leader is a team, two hundred and fifty people are tun, one is a tun chief, five hundred people are qu, one military marquis is set up, and one thousand people are the department, the highest officer may be a captain, or a military Sima (usually a military Sima), two thousand people are a battalion, and the highest officer is a captain.

Zhang Ben said: "One battalion has two departments, one is a county soldier, which can maintain law and order in Luoyang, and the other can be a hidden pile, which is responsible for investigating intelligence in various parts of Luoyang. ”

Liu Xiu raised her eyebrows and said, "Need someone to do the dark pile?" ”

That's a lot.

Zhang Ben nodded in response, and then he took out the map of Luoyang.

Liu Xiu beckoned to him and motioned for him to come closer to him.

Zhang Ben immediately got up and left the table, came to Liu Xiu's approach, and knelt beside him in a proper manner.

He unfolded the map and said: "Luoyang urban area, Xiamen and Gumen in the north need to set up a hidden pile, the east gate, the middle gate, and the consumption gate need to each set up a dark pile, and the south Jinmen, Xiaoyuan gate, Pingcheng gate, and Kaiyang gate need to set up a dark pile, and the upper west gate, Yongmen, and Guangyang gate need to each set up a hidden pile. ”

All in all, the twelve city gates in Luoyang City need to set up hidden piles and send people to guard them.

Zhang Ben continued: "In addition, hidden piles need to be set up near the arsenal in the north, inside and outside the gold market in the west, and inside and outside the south market.

The above is just the distribution of dark piles in Luoyang urban area.

As for Guo District, the population is more and more mixed, and the hidden piles needed are also more, such as Jinmen North Street, Xiaoyuanmen North Street, Kaiyangmen North Street, Shangdongmen West Street, Zhongdongmen West Street, Yuanmen West Street, etc., these bustling streets, all need to set up two to five hidden piles.

Also, the suburbs outside the city also need to set up hidden piles, urban areas, Guo districts, suburbs, all kinds of hidden piles together, Weichen estimates, at least one manpower is needed. ”

As he introduced, his fingers swiped on the map, Liu Xiu watched and listened carefully, and when Zhang Ben finished speaking, the corners of Liu Xiu's mouth rose, showing a satisfied smile, and it could be seen that Zhang Ben really had the next hard work to do research.

Liu Xiu is not very familiar with Zhang Ben, but he is very familiar with Dong Xuan.

The strong order is the nickname he gave Dong Xuan.

He looked at Dong Xuan and asked with a smile, "What does Dong County Ling think about the deployment of County Lieutenant Zhang?" ”

Dong Xuan bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has no objection. ”

Hearing that Dong Xuan had no opinion, Liu Xiu immediately nodded and said, "Just follow your deployment." ”

The implication is to accept Zhang Ben's proposal to expand the Luoyang County soldiers to a battalion.

Zhang Ben was overjoyed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Although the county order is the leader of the county government, it is the county lieutenant who is in charge of the government.

The expansion of the county soldiers to a battalion undoubtedly greatly increased the real power in Zhang Ben's hands.

Liu Xiu said slowly: "I have already given the people that the Luoyang County Government wants, and in the future, the county government will be fully responsible for the security of Luoyang, and once there is a mistake, I will only hold you accountable to the Luoyang County Government." ”

Zhang Ben shrank his neck in fright, and sat down on the ground to answer.

Dong Xuan was silent, and seeing this, Liu Xiu asked, "Why didn't Dong Xianling speak?"

But think you can't afford it? ”

"Your Majesty has an order, and Weichen is naturally duty-bound, but Weichen can be loyal and conscientious, but ......" Halfway through the words, Dong Xuan did not continue.

Liu Xiu asked curiously, "But what?" ”

Dong Xuan said in a deep voice: "But Your Majesty is risking his life again, and if there is any mistake, Weichen can't afford this responsibility." ”

Liu Xiu was stunned by Dong Xuan, when did he get into danger?

When did you despise your life again?

Zhang Ben was secretly grinning, secretly looking at Dong Xuan, pinching a cold sweat for him, and at the same time, he had to admire his top boss, he really dared to speak! Liu Xiu's face showed displeasure and asked, "What does Dong County's order mean by this?"

How did I risk my life, and when did I despise my life? ”

Dong Xuan glanced at Liu Xiu deeply, and said, "Your Majesty actually used his body as bait in order to lure out the assassins in the city, isn't this a cheap life?"

Has Your Majesty ever considered that once Your Majesty has three longs and two shortcomings, the foundation of the Han Dynasty will not be ruined? ”

Liu Xiudu was almost laughed at by Dong Xuan, he waved his hand to Dong Xuan, and said, "Dong County Order, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"

Do you think that I was assassinated by the Assassins in the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion on purpose, and that I deliberately led the Assassins to assassinate me? ”

Is it any wonder that your county government has not tracked down those escaped assassins, and after investigating these days, it has come to such a ridiculous conclusion?

Dong Xuan blinked and asked, "Isn't it?" ”

"It's just gibberish, I don't know what to do."

Liu Xiu was angry and funny, and shook his head again and again.

Seeing this, Dong Xuan turned his eyes and looked at Zhang Ben.

The first person to propose that Liu Xiu was in danger and lured the assassin to appear was not Dong Xuan, but Zhang Ben.

Seeing Dong Xuan's gaze, Zhang Ben cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty does things, naturally there are considerations for Your Majesty, and I wait for the courtiers, or ...... It's better not to ask too much. ”

The more Liu Xiu listened, the more confused he became, and said in a deep voice: "Dong Xuan, Zhang Ben, you two tell me clearly, what is going on!" ”

Zhang Ben subconsciously said: "On the day of Your Majesty's assassination, didn't you leave the contact code of Gongsun Shu's detailed work along the way, isn't it to lure the assassin to appear?" ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, her brows twisted into a pimple, when did she leave the contact code of Gongsun Shu's detailed work?

Zhang Ben: Isn't this nonsense?

He slammed the table and scolded angrily: "Zhang Ben, in front of me, dare to lie? ”

Zhang Ben was so frightened that his body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and stammered: "Weichen...... Wechen didn't lie......" Liu Xiu asked: "What do you mean by saying that I left a contact code along the way?" ”

"This ...... This...... General Long Xiao can testify for Weichen! ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he shouted outside the main hall: "Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao!" ”

With the sound of his summoning, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao strode in from outside, and they all intervened to salute and said, "Your Majesty! ”

"Long Xiao is here, Zhang Ben, you make it clear, what is the contact code!"

Liu Xiu asked word by word.

Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao all looked at Zhang Ben blankly, and the three of them were all second monks, confused.

Zhang Ben swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Weichen...... Weichen's secret stake saw that General Long Xiao was in the alley where His Majesty was passing by, leaving the plum blossom code commonly used by Gongsun Shu.

After that, Weichen also personally confirmed that it was indeed the usual code used by Gongsun Shu, and at that time, Weichen also met His Majesty! ”

At that time, he didn't know that the person in the carriage was Liu Xiu, but now he has figured out that who can protect Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, and Xu Fei together, who else can there be besides today?

Listening to his words, Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, and Long Zhun looked at Long Xiao together.

Long Xiao looked inexplicable, Zhang Ben said that he left a contact code, didn't he frame him?

What's even more odious is that he was framed in front of His Majesty and in front of himself.

Long Xiao subconsciously raised his hand, grasped the hilt of the saber under his ribs, hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at Zhang Ben with a cruel smile, and said: "Bold dog thief, in front of me, frame me, when I am a dead man?" ”
