Chapter 883: Bergie intercedes
Even though Li Zichun and Li Ziyu had nothing to do with the assassins, Liu Xiu still asked Deng Chen to continue to imprison them.
For this reason, Liu Liang also went to the Tingwei Mansion to find Deng Chen twice, Deng Chen was also very helpless, His Majesty refused to let go, what could he do?
He can't just let people go without permission! Deng Chen comforted Liu Liang and said: "Uncle don't worry too much, Your Majesty just has a grudge against Li Zichun and Li Ziyu, and when Your Majesty's anger is gone, he will naturally release the two of them." ”
Liu Liang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
It stands to reason that he should go to plead with Liu Xiu, but his special relationship with Li Zichun makes it difficult for him to open this mouth to Liu Xiu.
Two days later, Deng Yu wrote a letter to Liu Xiu, in which he elaborated on the plan for the rectification of the Luoyang County Government.
The first is to expand the establishment and increase the number of officials in the Luoyang County Government, which is basically the same size as the county government.
Second, the Luoyang County Order and the Luoyang County Lieutenant were promoted, and the county order was raised from 1,500 stone to 2,000 stone.
More than two thousand stones, that is, less than two thousand stones, but close to two thousand stones.
You must know that the county is guarded, that is, more than 2,000 stone or 2,000 stone.
Luoyang County Lieutenant's salary has also been increased from 1,000 stone to 1,500 stone.
At that time, there was no grade, and to look at the level of an official's position was to look at his salary.
Raising the Luoyang County Commander and Luoyang County Lieutenant to the specifications of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant is equivalent to raising the level of these two positions, and the Luoyang county magistrate can also participate in the court meeting openly.
Third, greatly increase the expenditure of the Luoyang county government, so as to cultivate the county government's own hidden stakes and eyeline, and set up its own intelligence system in Luoyang City.
Fourth, the infantry tiger talisman in the army of the five schools was distributed to Luoyang Ling, and when the county government officials encountered a problem that could not be solved, Luoyang Ling could rely on half a tiger talisman to find the infantry captain of the fifth school and send troops together with the infantry captain.
Through Deng Yu's recital, it can be seen that he wants to make Luoyang Ling into half of Jinwu, and the reason why he is said to be half of Jinwu is because Luoyang Ling itself does not have a separate right to transfer troops, and he can only cooperate with infantry captains before he can send troops together.
But even so, it greatly saves the time of reporting and can greatly improve the emergency response capacity of the county government.
After Liu Xiu received Deng Yu's recital, he specially invited him into the palace to discuss the matter with Shang Shutai.
When discussing Deng Yu's plan, Shangshu Bazao also put forward their own opinions and questions.
Deng Yu was very well prepared, and the answers were fluent, and after getting the approval of Shang Shutai, Liu Xiu agreed to implement the plan proposed by Deng Yu.
Liu Xiu's reform of the Luoyang County Government this time has greatly improved the status of the Luoyang County Government, making the Luoyang County Government already above Jing Zhaoyin in Chang'an.
In this regard, Dong Xuan's reaction was very flat.
It is true that his status in the court has been improved, but the affairs have also become correspondingly more, and the security of the entire capital has almost all fallen on him, the Luoyang Order.
If there is any major case in Luoyang in the future, he will not want to shirk the involvement.
Unlike Dong Xuan, Luoyang County Lieutenant Zhang Ben was extremely excited.
The biggest beneficiary of this county government reform is, of course, Luoyang Ling, and the second beneficiary is Luoyang Wei.
Now his rank is equivalent to the county captain, and through the reform, the county lieutenant has been revoked, he, the county lieutenant who is equivalent to the captain, is the only one in the world, can he not be happy, can he not be proud?
In the past, he was just a gangster in Luoyang, but now he has hundreds of officials under his command, and at a critical moment, he can still transfer troops to Luoyang Lieutenant, Zhang Ben just thinks about it, and he is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut.
Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben, the two heads of the Luoyang County Government, reacted diametrically opposed to Liu Xiu's holy decree.
Looking at Zhang Ben, who was about to grin at the corners of his mouth and fluttering when he walked, Dong Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, "County Lieutenant Zhang looks excited!" ”
Zhang Ben glanced at Dong Xuan, walked up to him, poked him with his elbow, and said with a smile: "I said my lord, you always have a straight face on weekdays, even if you receive such a holy decree today, you can't show a smiling face?" ”
Looking at Dong Xuan's worried look, he didn't know what Dong Xuan was worried about.
"Laugh?
Oh, I can't laugh at it! ”
Dong Xuan said: "In the past, our Luoyang County Government was just a small yamen with a sesame seed in Luoyang City, Luoyang really had a big and small affair, and the county government still had a way to shirk the involvement, but from now on, there will be no such easy days." ”
Zhang Ben straightened his waist, patted his chest, and said: "The higher our status, the greater the responsibility, and this is natural!" ”
Dong Xuan had nothing to say, looking at Zhang Ben, who was dancing proudly with his hands and eyebrows, he was suddenly angry.
He suddenly remembered something and said, "I heard that you have been to the Li Mansion and asked the Li Mansion for a hundred gold. ”
Zhang Ben's face was pale, and he said urgently: "My lord, this hundred gold is not a bribe!" It was Li Zichun who promised me that as long as I was willing to help him give a message to King Zhao, he would give me a hundred gold. ”
Dong Xuan nodded, and said with an indifferent expression: "I didn't pursue it, what are you anxious about?" ”
Zhang Ben secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Dong Xuan turned his face, it would be the master of the six relatives who did not recognize him, and he was also afraid of three points.
His tense nerves eased and he said, "My lord, you're going to be scared to death." ”
Dong Xuan continued on the ground: "You collected this hundred gold, although you have not broken the law, but it is also ill-gotten gains, now that the county government has expanded, there are many places to use the money, so you can donate half of it!" ”
Why?
Why should I donate half of it?
Zhang Ben almost jumped high as if he had been stepped on by someone, and said urgently: "My lord, if you want to say that, it's too much of a bully......" Dong Xuan glanced at him and said: "If there is any more nonsense, I will let you donate everything."
If you feel unconvinced, when I go to court tomorrow, I can ask Your Majesty's opinion and let Your Majesty make a decision to see whether you should donate this hundred gold or not! ”
Zhang Ben's eyes widened and he looked at Dong Xuan in disbelief.
Dong Xuan muttered in a low voice: "The first time I participated in the court meeting, I was worried that there was nothing to play. ”
You're going to lose you! Zhang Ben squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "I donate!" ”
Dong Xuan patted him on the shoulder, nodded at him, and praised: "Very good!" ”
What a ghost! Seeing Dong Xuan turn around and leave, Zhang Ben followed behind, and said indignantly: "The county government has expanded, and the imperial court has issued money. ”
Dong Xuan walked forward with his hands behind his back, and said without looking back: "In the east, we are at war with Zhang Bu, and in the west, we are at war with Gongsun Shu, there are too many places for the court to use money, if there is a problem that we can solve by ourselves, don't drag down the court anymore." ”
When Zhang Ben heard this, the root of his teeth itched, what you said is good, the key problem is that the fifty gold is not from all of us together, it is all from me alone! "No wonder you have no friends in Luoyang City."
"What did you say?"
"If you continue like this, even my last friend is about to be lost."
Speaking of which, the two of them don't have much personal relationship, they are purely partners at work, Dong Xuan really doesn't know that Zhang Ben actually regards himself as a friend.
Dong Xuan, who was walking in front, hooked the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.
On this day, Liu Boji came to the palace to visit her newborn nephew Liu Yang.
In terms of heart, Liu Boji is more intimate with Yin Lihua, after all, the two have known each other for a long time, and Guo Shengtong is relatively distant.
Liu Boji came with her son.
She and Li Tong's son, named Li Yin, is not very old, only five or six years old.
Hearing the news of the little sister's entry into the palace, Liu Xiu also went to the West Palace with great interest.
Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Li Yin's little face was full of smiles, and he ran over excitedly, shouting, "Uncle! ”
Liu Xiu laughed, bent down, picked up Li Yin, walked up and down, and said, "Well, it's sinking a little more!" ”
"Imperial Brother (Your Majesty)!"
Liu Boji and Yin Lihua walked out of the inner room, and the two of them blessed themselves together.
Liu Xiu put down Li Yin, stepped forward, and asked with a smile, "Why is my little sister so idle today?" ”
Liu Boji smiled and said, "Boji hasn't seen the imperial sister-in-law and nephew for a long time, and she misses it very much, so she came uninvited!" ”
Liu Xiu waved her hand and motioned for her little sister to sit down.
He asked, "How is the health of the dimension lately?" ”
Li Tong suffers from thirst-quenching disorder, which in modern parlance is diabetes.
Liu Boji smiled at Liu Xiu and said, "It's much better now." ”
"That's good."
Liu Xiu nodded reassuringly, and then he looked at Li Yin on the side, and asked with a smile, "Yin'er is six years old, right?" ”
Li Yin said crisply: "Yes, uncle, Yin'er is already six years old!" ”
Liu Boji frowned and said, "Yin'er, call Your Majesty!" ”
"Just call me uncle!"
Liu Xiu looked at her little sister dissatisfied, they were all a family, why did they look out so much.
He happily pulled Li Yin closer to him, and asked with a smile, "What does Yin'er want to do in the future?" ”
Li Yin Zhengse said: "In the future, Yin'er will be a general and help my uncle fight!" ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he laughed and said to Liu Boji: "My nephew is a general!" ”
Liu Boji looked at Liu Xiu and Li Yin, who were smiling so much that they couldn't see their teeth, shook their heads helplessly, and corrected: "Brother Huang, don't listen to Yin'er's nonsense, when he grows up, the world has already been decided, and what kind of battle will he fight." ”
Liu Xiu pulled Li Yin, let him sit in his arms, and said, "Yin'er, don't listen to your mother, in the future, we will be generals!" ”
Li Yin was very afraid of his mother on weekdays, but when he arrived at Liu Xiu, he changed his normal behavior and nodded heavily at Liu Xiu, saying that his uncle was right, and he would be a general in the future.
Liu Boji was angry and funny, she changed her words and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has now detained Li Zichun?" ”
Liu Xiu was stunned, and didn't understand why the little sister suddenly asked about Li Zichun.
He nodded and said, "Li Zichun is now being detained in the Tingwei Mansion. ”
Liu Boji asked curiously: "Is it a big mistake?" ”
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I'm going to release him after being detained for a while." ”
After a pause, he asked, "Why did Becky suddenly ask about this person?" ”
Liu Boji said: "I have seen Li Zichun several times at my uncle's house, and I have a good impression of him!" Uncle is old, and he is alone in Luoyang, so it is inevitable that he will be lonely, and it is also good to have Li Zichun to accompany his uncle on weekdays and make his uncle happy. ”
Although Liu Boji didn't say it too bluntly, the meaning of interceding for Li Zichun was already obvious.
When she said this, Liu Xiu was quite embarrassed.
After the little sister arrived in Luoyang, she almost didn't ask for anything for herself, and now she is interceding for Li Zichun, can she refute the little sister's face?
Although Liu Xiu's anger towards the two brothers Li Zichun and Li Ziyu has not completely disappeared, Liu Boji's opening made him let go of his prejudices and decided to release Li Zichun and Li Ziyu.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Since Bo Ji said so, tomorrow, I will ask Wei Qing to let the two of them go." ”
Liu Boji smiled, leaned over and said, "Thank you, third brother!" ”
Liu Xiu raised her hand and gently rubbed the top of her head, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you call the imperial brother this time?" ”
Liu Boji hurriedly raised his hand and covered his hair, for fear of being messed up by Liu Xiu, and at the same time glared at him dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu laughed, this is the normal situation for their brother and sister to get along since childhood.
Yin Lihua smiled on the side: "Your Majesty, don't bully my little sister anymore!" ”
