Time flies quickly, three days pass in a blink of an eye, and the huge Yanjing City is as calm as this.

Zheng Wen also stayed quietly in Daming Palace, quietly looking at the huge Yanjing City, looking forward to the changes in the situation, looking forward to the actions of the people below, and looking forward to some surprises, but he was still disappointed after all, everything was so calm, it seemed that others were smarter than he imagined.

Yes, human beings are creatures whose thoughts are the most complex and changeable, and they can give up their lives for some interests, or they can give up everything for their own lives. People are the best at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, not to mention that in this feudal era, everyone has their own set of survival rules, and living is the theme of this era.

Although Zheng Wen was a little disappointed in his heart, he was more looking forward to how this drama would begin? Don't let yourself down?

……

At this time, Liu Jian, the prime minister of the Great Qian, the minister of the Jiangnan Division, and his party were passing through the Hebei region and stopped in Luoyang, the ancient capital of the millennium.

In the evening, at the Luoyang Station, Liu Jian and his party of senior officials were stepping into it, preparing to rest for the night and hurry tomorrow morning.

The "Great Cadre Law" stipulates that the senior officials, regardless of their rank, are not allowed to harass officials in non-official areas during official business trips in the court, and are not allowed to borrow official offices, but can only enter and live in post stations; Lower-level officials are also not allowed to ask for an appointment, because they are passing through the higher-level officials on their official journey.

Although the country has been established for more than 300 years, these laws and regulations are almost a dead letter. But Liu Jianjian is the prime minister of the great cadres, the head of the hundred officials, but he will not trample on these laws, especially in this sensitive period, especially so, so as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, he lived in this Luoyang station, neither bothering Luoyang local officials, nor ready to meddle in Luoyang's political affairs, tens of thousands of people passed through Luoyang, plus hundreds of central officials, and several high-ranking officials of the court, so that a group of people passed through Luoyang quietly, silently, as if this person was not in Luoyang. Obviously, Liu Jian is deliberately avoiding this Luoyang.

But there are some things that can not be avoided if you want to, what should happen will still happen after all, everything is so sudden, and everything is so timely.

Liu Jian had dinner and was about to take a break, but his butler Liu Chong walked in abruptly and said to him: "Master, outside Luoyang County Shouliuhe begs to see!" ”

Liu Jian listened, but glared at him and scolded: "Didn't I tell it, no one saw it, how did you do it?" ”

Liu Chong saw his lord's angry appearance, and immediately felt a little panicked, and immediately explained: "Master, this Liu Junshou is your proud protégé, and he has always been respectful to you, so I passed it ......on my behalf."

Liu Jian listened, his face was expressionless, but he opened his mouth and said: "Okay, let's not take it as an example, just this time, you go and tell him, just say that these false courtesies will be waived, do things well, be an official well, and live up to the trust of the court, the official robe on his body, and the expectations of his own appearance." ”

After thinking about it, Liu Jiancai said again: "You tell him again, in his position, seeking his government, since he has become the county guard of Luoyang, he should sink his heart, for the people of Luoyang, for the court of this great Qian, do a few practical things, don't think about it, be pragmatic, don't retreat, be the county guard of this place, you must sink your heart, you must endure loneliness, even if the eyes of the court are old and dizzy, you can still see every grass and tree in this place." That's all, there you go. Liu Jian said with a frown.

"Yes, sir, I'll go." Liu Chong replied hurriedly, like a frightened mouse, turned around and quickly retreated.

And after a while, Liu Chong walked in quickly, honestly frightened, and said to Liu Jian: "Master, this Liu Junshou refuses to retreat, saying that he has something important to ask to see the master, this is a letter he wrote to the master, and he said that the master will understand it at a glance." As he spoke, Liu Chongcai respectfully handed a letter to Liu Jian with both hands.

Liu Jian listened, but he was a little curious in his heart, so he took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the stationery, opened it, and saw two "gold" characters on the letterhead.

As soon as Liu Jian saw it, his pupils instantly became larger, and his mind instantly turned, what the hell is going on, he just received a secret report from His Majesty that Jinyiwei sent him, Taicang in the capital disappeared a million taels of gold, and Taicang Order died strangely in front of everyone's eyes, although it was lost overnight, and the court was also suppressed by His Majesty, but he knew in his heart that this matter was never over, it was just the beginning, there were too many things hidden behind it, and there were too many hidden secrets.

It's just that I just arrived in Luoyang, and I saw the word gold, is it related to the affairs of the capital? His Majesty told himself in the secret letter that he must be careful and careful, what is hidden behind this?

Liu Jian read the letter, but he was a little anxious, but he was still expressionless, and calmly ordered: "Liu Chong, you go, let Liu He come in to see his true appearance." ”

"Yes, sir, I'll go." Liu Chong listened to Liu Jian's words and immediately replied, although he was also curious in his heart, but as a subordinate, as the second housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, he knew his duty and hurriedly turned around and left.

After a while, Liu Chong came in with a tall northland man dressed in a black official robe, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a handsome face, and this person was the Luoyang County Shouliuhe.

Liu He was born in the third year of Jianqi, it was the year when Liu Jian became the prime minister, and he was also the examiner of the examination that year, Liu He can also be regarded as Liu Jian's proud protégé, he has the same political views as him, and his ethics are good, and this is the reason why Liu Jian asked him to call himself a teacher.

When Liu He saw Liu Jian, he bundled his clothes, bowed respectfully to Liu Jian, and then said: "Xiaguan Luoyang County guards Liuhe to see Prime Minister Liu. ”

When Liu Jian saw this scene, he knew that Liu He was indeed asking to see him because of official business, his face was solemn, and he accepted this salute calmly, this is the etiquette of the officialdom, the lower-level officials to the higher-level officials, and then he said: "Liujun Shou doesn't have to be polite, get up and talk back, what do you want to see the true face?" Liu Jian said directly.

Liu He listened, stood up straight, and only glanced at Liu Chong next to him.

Liu Jian immediately came to his senses when he saw it, so he commanded: "Liu Chong, you go outside to guard, no one is allowed to come in without my order, understand!" ”

When Liu Chong heard this, he immediately replied, "Yes, master, I'll go now." With that, he turned and went out, and closed the door.

When Liu He saw it, he saw that he had a serious face, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, something is wrong, the gold mine in Luoyang was attacked overnight three days ago, and a thousand garrisons, more than 5,000 miners, and more than 300 managers were all killed in the mine, and nearly a million taels of gold in the mine were robbed, and these gold were to be transported to the capital......"

"Why are you so confused, such a big matter, why didn't you report it to the court?" Hearing this, Liu Jian said to Liu He with his head and face covered, as the so-called concern is chaos, he interrupted Liu He's words at once.

Liu He saw it, but he had to explain: "Teacher, I received news this morning, and I have already sent a messenger to the capital, but you also know that this gold mine in Luoyang is too far away from Luoyang, and it is under the dual leadership of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is self-contained, and there is an army stationed there, so we have never paid much attention to our local officials in Luoyang, so something happened to the Luoyang gold mine, and three days later, we also routinely found everything in the Luoyang mine. And I have already ordered Luoyang County Lieutenant Mo Gong to lead half of Luoyang's garrison into Luoyang's gold mines, after all, this matter is too big, and we can only do this in Luoyang. The more Liu He spoke, the lower his voice became, obviously he was still a little embarrassed.

Liu Jian listened and was silent for a long time, before he said to himself: "After all, I still made a move, but I didn't expect that it would be in Luoyang, and Your Majesty's mind was disappointed after all, it's a pity!" ”

And Liu He, who was on the side, listened to Liu Jian's specious words, and asked boldly, "Teacher, what did you say?" ”

Liu Jian came back to his senses all of a sudden, glanced straight at Liu He, and then said to him: "Liu He, you are still too young after all, you still don't know these things, it's good for you to be a teacher, your small body, after all, you can't bear too much pressure!" Liu Jian said with some meaning.

"As for what you said about asking for advice from the teacher, then the teacher will tell you, wait and see what happens, you have done everything you should do, and governing Luoyang well is what you should do the most, this matter is not something you can manage, the court will have someone to deal with it, besides, this matter is still to be played in this capital!" Liu Jian continued with a serious tone.

Liu He listened, although he couldn't stop being curious, but he still heard the danger from the words of his teacher Liu Jian, so he forcibly suppressed his curiosity.

He saluted Liu Jian and said, "Thank you for the teacher's vigilance, then the student will retire, the teacher cherishes it!" ”

Liu Jian saw it, nodded at him, and then said: "You go, do things well, calm down, you have to endure loneliness, in order to keep the prosperity, since you have achieved the position of a local leader, calm down, do something practical, you don't use your talents to ponder what officialdom to learn, this is unacceptable, and the teacher also said to you today, within five years, you don't want to be able to enter Beijing from Luoyang, you go." Liu Jian said to Liu He seriously.

"No, the teacher's teachings are remembered by the students, then the teacher takes care, and the students have retired." Liu He said with a serious face, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

As a human spirit, Liu Jian couldn't see the discomfort of his student Liu He, but he didn't say a word, looked at Liu He's distant back, and silently added in his heart: "I hope you can experience the hard work of being a teacher!" ”
