Chapter 236: Li Gongfu
Lu Chen is the king of a country, he can't know the officials of every county, after listening to Sun Sheng's words, he immediately decided to go to the county guard mansion to have a look.
Seeing this, Sun Sheng thought that the king was going to come forward in person for this matter, so he couldn't help but be excited, led Lu Chen, and went all the way to the county government.
Lu Chen didn't break it, and after arriving at the county government, everyone in the mansion knelt down.
"Weichen Meixian County Guard Li Gongfu, knock on the king-"
"Get up." Lu Chen waved his hand slightly, and after everyone was flattened, Li Gongfu led him to the living room, Lu Chen naturally sat on the top, and Li Gongfu, Lu Chen did not speak, he did not dare to sit down easily, but stood below, bowing slightly.
Li Gongfu knew that the king's Wang Jia was in Meixian County at this time and was about to return to the capital, but he didn't expect that the king suddenly came to the county government at this time.
At this time, he saw Sun Sheng waiting beside Lu Chen, and he understood, and couldn't help but cry out bitterly.
Lu Chen said straight to the point: "Lord Li, this king heard that there is a murderer named Wang Dazhuang, who is a veteran in our army, can there be such a thing?" ”
"Back to the king, this is indeed the case." Li Gongfu returned.
"Can it be accommodating?" Lu Chen asked deliberately.
"King, this man has committed a great crime, and he has killed fifty-seven people in two families with a knife! Unforgivable! Li Gongfu said nervously.
"This king already knows the inside story, isn't it excusable?"
"King! Lin Xiaolan is dead, but what about the other more than 50 lives? Do they all deserve to die? Li Gongfu asked rhetorically.
Immediately afterwards, he said: "Wang Dazhuang has made meritorious achievements!" But war is war, law, law! If the country can't save it, the country won't be a country! How can it be spared from its heinous sins by its past deeds! If so, the country will be in chaos! And the laws of our country were revised by the king himself after he ascended the throne, and the king has always punished the law severely, now, how can he disturb the laws of our country!? ”
"Bold! How dare you question the king!? Sun Sheng shouted angrily.
"Huh?" Lu Chen waved his hand, pointed at Li Gongfu and said, "Master Li, although what you said is very reasonable, the law is made by this king!" What if this king has to let you let Wang Dazhuang go!? ”
"Forgive Weichen for his fate!" Li Gongfu lowered his body slightly, arched his hands, and said with a straight face.
"What!?" When Sun Sheng heard this, his nose was almost crooked, and he said angrily: "Li Gongfu! How dare you disobey the king's decree!? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Gongfu had already reached out and took off his official hat, took off his official uniform, folded it upright, and then put the official hat on top of the official uniform, then knelt on the ground, raised his hands high, and said:
"If so, the minister is willing to resign from his official position, and I hope that my king will be favorable."
"This ...... This ......" Sun Sheng was dumbfounded.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, was stunned, but he didn't show anything, but continued to ask in a condensed voice, "Lord Li, what are you doing here?" This king just asked you to release a murderer, why is that? ”
"The king's decree cannot be violated, but the minister, as the parent official of a place, does not dare to disturb the laws of our country, so only by resigning from the official position can he not violate the king's decree and not disturb the law." Li Gongfu said seriously.
Yo! Lu Chen's heart was overjoyed, because this was exactly the official he needed! There are many local officials in the country of Feng, there are many outstanding talents, and there are many who can govern a place well, but there is only a lack of legal officials like Li Gongfu who are not afraid of power!
Right now, Li Gongfu was kneeling below, looking serious, while Lu Chen was sitting above, looking at him with a faint look in his eyes.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Chen suddenly looked up and smiled, then stood up, walked in front of Li Gongfu, and helped him up: "Come, Lord Li, get up, get up, why resign, this king doesn't interfere in this matter......"
"Is this true?" Li Gongfu was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Seriously, seriously."
As Lu Chen spoke, he also took the official uniform in Li Gongfu's hand with a smile, shook it off, put it on for him personally, and personally tidied it up for him.
"Your Majesty, this ...... This ......" This time, it was Li Gongfu's turn to be dumbfounded.
After he was stunned for a moment, he suddenly knelt on the ground and said in fear: "King, Weichen...... Wechen was terrified......"
"Huh? Get up. Lu Chen pulled him up again and said: "Lord Li is a good official, my Fengguo also needs an official like you, I hope you can continue to be a good official in the future, and strengthen your position and beliefs!" Don't let this king down! ”
"Wechen...... Wechen obeys the king's teachings! Li Gongfu was still in shock, the king dressed his courtiers, which seemed to him to be incredible! He was too flattered too!
After a few more words with Li Gongfu, Lu Chen left the county guard's mansion, and on the way, Lu Chen said to Sun Sheng: "You also saw it just now, this Lord Li, would rather resign than disturb the laws of our country, do you still want to intercede for Wang Dazhuang now?" ”
When Sun Sheng heard this, he was ashamed, and hurriedly said, "King, Weichen knows that he is wrong. ”
"Alright, leave this matter alone." Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "In addition, you go to the Longshan County Mansion and transfer Li Gongfu's file over, this king wants to see his past political achievements." ”
This episode made Lu Chen unexpectedly discover the official Li Gongfu.
According to the records in the file, during Li Gongfu's tenure, a total of more than 10 murder cases were investigated, and none of them cried out for injustice. The Meixian County has been governed very well.
After returning to the capital, Lu Chen first contacted Tusi with a letter of state, and transported all the booty obtained from the war to Tusi in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver, and then allocated funds to Hedong to build a county seat.
After the arrival of the imperial court's appropriation, Hedong also began to build a large number of buildings.
At the same time, Lu Chen also began to reward the generals in the army again according to this military exploit.
The first person he rewarded was Su Muzhi, who had slaughtered tens of thousands of prisoners on the Hedong battlefield before, on the surface, Lu Chen had taken the title to the end, but when it was time to reward him, Lu Chen directly restored his title, and raised his military rank to the first general of the Wind Country, and he was still the commander of the Huwei Army.
As for Xiao Wang, the battle to destroy the chapter was too great, and Lu Chen made him a duke, which was also the first real duke in the Wind Country.
Now Xiao Wang, the official worships the prime minister of Zuo, and the title is above 10,000 people under one person, it stands to reason that he should be very happy, but after the next dynasty, he is depressed.
That night, he went to Sima Wen's mansion.
Sima Wen, as the supervisor of the Wind Country, has the right to inspect hundreds of officials, after Xiao Wang arrived at him, the two of them pushed the cup and changed the glass, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xiao Wang suddenly said:
"Master Sima, I have a reluctant request below......
