In Chang'an's Imperial Prison, there were many prisoners, and in a rather gloomy cell, Zhang Liao was detained here and shackled. From Jinyang Prison to Chang'an Prison, there is no difference in treatment, but this cell is much more spacious.

"I never thought that I, Zhang Liao, would have the opportunity to go to prison!" Zhang Liao smiled bitterly. The edict prison must not be a simple prison, and those who are not high-ranking officials and ministers, and those who are not edicted by the emperor are not qualified.

I don't know what happened to Mr. Gongda, the summer thief summoned him, but I was afraid of ...... Zhang Liao had an ominous premonition in his heart, he was a smart man, he was imprisoned in Anyi, and when he arrived in Jinyang, Liu Yuan never took care of them again, and now that he moved to Chang'an, he couldn't wait to call Xun You. What is its purpose, how could Zhang Liao not know.

sighed, the eldest husband was trapped in a cage, really aggrieved. There was a noise outside the cell, and many guards and sergeants quickly entered, guarding the side, and Gao Shun came later.

Looking at Gao Shun, who was dressed in guard armor, Zhang Liao's eyes were a little surprised: "It seems that brother, in the Xia Kingdom, to be above the Qingyun!" ”

"Wenyuan, Prince Xia is here! You ......" Gao Shun's voice was bitter, and halfway through his words, he was silent when he saw Zhang Liao's indifferent expression.

Liu Yuan strode over, looking in through the threshold railing, Zhang Liao was wearing a cloak, plain clothes, and sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Wen Yuan, ask Lone again, would you like to surrender?" Without much nonsense, Liu Yuan's voice echoed in the cell.

"How's Mr. Gongda?" Zhang Liao didn't answer, but asked.

"Xun Yu doesn't fall, it's dead!" Liu Yuan had no expression on his face.

Hearing this, Zhang Liao's body shook, sat up, and moved the shackles on his body, making a muffled sound.

"It's time for you to choose!" Liu Yuan's cold voice came.

There was some hesitation on his face, and when he was a year old in prison, he seemed to be a little shaken by his strong will last year. But thinking of Xun Yu's death, his eyes suddenly froze again. He bowed his head and was silent, as if he didn't know how to answer.

"Send him on his way!" Looking at Zhang Liao's hesitant appearance, Liu Yuan didn't have the heart to waste any more words. Zhang Liao with this mentality, even if it is temporarily reduced, Liu Yuan will not dare to use it. If you can't use it for me, you will die, and you will save some food.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and became a little shorter.

"Wenyuan, why bother?" Gao Shun stayed, looked at Zhang Liao, and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone has their own ambitions! But it's a pity that I can't die in battle! Zhang Liao had a smile on his face, this smile was not very good-looking.

"It's not bad to have a brother to see me off! It's been a long time since I've had a full meal, brother, can you serve you food and drink? Seeing Gao Shun, who was depressed, Zhang Liao said heartily.

"Someone!" Gao Shun called out in a cold voice.

"What does the general command?"

"Prepare something to eat!"

"No!"

After a full meal and some wine, Zhang Liao hiccuped insolently.

"It's time to hit the road!" Zhang Liao muttered and looked at Gao Shun: "Husband, when you die under the sword, borrow your brother's sword and use it!" ”

Without hesitation, Cang Chang rang out a few times, Gao Shun pulled out the long sword at his waist, the sword body was sharp, glowing with light, and handed it to Zhang Liao.

"Good sword!" Zhang Liao praised, then raised his sword, moved quickly, wiped his neck, and blood splattered all over the ground.

After getting up and looking at Zhang Liao's body for a long time, Gao Shun sighed heavily, bent down to put his sword back into its sheath, and left with heavy steps. "Buried Zhang Liao's body!"

"Zhang Liao is dead?" Liu Yuan lowered his head and instructed the movement, without looking up.

Gao Shun replied in a low voice: "Back to the king, Zhang Liao has killed himself!" ”

"You and Zhang Liao have a very good relationship!"

"Yes!" Gao Shun didn't hide it at all.

"Although Zhang Liao is lonely, it is enough to have a gentleman!" After a while, Liu Yuan sighed: "You retreat!" ”

"The last will retire!"

……

On the outskirts of Zheng County, Liu Cheng personally went to the countryside to inspect and returned, and he is now the commander of Zheng County. Previously, Zheng County was chaotic by Li Dao, dilapidated, and its vitality was lost, and it was urgent for effective officials to rectify and restore people's livelihood.

Liu Yuan took down the Sanfu and began the rectification and restoration work of the Sanfu counties. Officials at all levels, as long as they take the initiative to offer sincerity, are basically retained. This Zheng County was originally a large county in Weinan, Liu Cheng took the initiative to ask for his life, and was willing to go to the place to be a county official, and promised that within three years, Zheng County would be governed.

Liu Yuan was a little surprised by Liu Cheng's initiative to ask for his life, he didn't think about it for long, and agreed, he also wanted to see what surprising behavior his son would have.

Outside Chang'an, there were tens of thousands of displaced people, and Liu Yuan generously distributed more than 7,000 people to Liu Cheng, more than half of whom were young and strong.

The first thing Liu Cheng did when he arrived in Zheng County was to divide the land, although Zheng County was dilapidated, there were still many local heroes. Most of the land that has been reclaimed has been encroached upon. When Liu Cheng arrived, he was unceremonious, and he spit out all the decrees. Liu Yuan sent him five hundred Xia cavalry, with such an army to deter, Zheng County Haoqiang did not dare to look sideways at all, and he was honest.

Land was allocated, cattle were rented, seeds were distributed, and hope was given to the people. Intoxicated with the affairs of Tuntian, at the time of the autumn harvest, he personally decided to take the lead in harvesting, although the amount was not much.

Liu Yuan supported Liu Cheng with some grain, under the rule of Zheng County, the ditch was not passable, so he launched the young and strong to dredge, and the people obtained food with labor, not much, but also attracted the active participation of the young and strong in the county, and there was a taste of work for relief. The surrounding mountains and forests are all open, encouraging villagers to go into the mountains to hunt and chop firewood.

At the same time, the focus is on cracking down on the evil in the county, and when the summer law is not perfected, it will strengthen the Han law and crack down on lawlessness. From time to time, he summoned the three elders in the county to treat each other with courtesy and ask more about the people's suffering.

Eliminate bad county officials and promote virtuous people. Pile by pile, piece by piece, Liu Cheng is in full swing in Zheng County, his feet don't touch the ground, this young man, to the surprise of those who pay attention to him.

In Zheng County, although it is still sluggish, under Liu Cheng's several actions, there is a sign of recovery. Under the rule of the people, they have a good sense of Liu Cheng, the prince and county commander. In troubled times, even under Hu Xia's rule, it is enough to have food and clothing.

"Lord, the villain still doesn't know why you took the initiative to ask for an order to come to this place to be a small county magistrate. It's been a long time since you've had a good rest! Tuoba Li drove the war horse and followed closely by Liu Cheng's side.

Liu Cheng looked really tired, but there was excitement that couldn't be hidden under his tired face. Looking at the surrounding vertical and horizontal ditches, there is a stream of water from the tributaries of the Wei River, which flows quietly in them.

"I can't even govern one county! And how much energy should my father spend on ruling the huge Xia Kingdom! Liu Cheng heard Tuoba Liwei's words, and said in a low voice: "Besides, if this county is not governed, how can it govern the world!" ”

Liu Cheng's voice was high, in this wilderness, Liu Cheng showed his ambition for the first time, and there was some fanaticism in his eyes.

For Liu Cheng's emotional infection, Tuoba Liwei raised his head and saluted Liu Cheng on the saddle: "The Lord has great ambitions, and Liwei will swear to follow him!" ”

Seeing that Tuoba Liwei was loyal on the side, Liu Cheng did not answer. This young man is also ambitious, and Liu Cheng naturally knows it. However, since Liu Cheng asked him to be the head of the guard, this person has been firmly tied to him Liu Cheng. Honor and disgrace are one, and he can't help but accompany him wholeheartedly.

"Let's go, go back to the county seat!" Urging the war horse, he ran south.
