Dusk, the dusk of Luoyang City, is really beautiful.

Especially on the top of the Standing Flying Tower, looking at the sunset in the distance, it is really beautiful. It can make people drunk to the heart.

If it were normal, Liu Xu could lie here, drunk flowers in Luoyang.

But now, Liu Xu really doesn't feel this mood in his heart.

One by one, the officials of the Tang Dynasty, as if receiving relief food, stood at the door and led their daughters out.

There was still a smile on his face.

Li Er actually came a long time ago, he was standing on the second floor, and Li Chengqian was by his side. is holding a fold in his hand, which Liu Xu has just handed over.

Li Er looked at it for a long time, and he couldn't help laughing, Li Chengqian was curious, so Li Er handed him the fold.

After frowning and looking at it for a while, Li Chengqian was dumbfounded and bowed.

"Father, is this possible? Royal marriage is not a trivial matter, so, the majesty of the royal family? ”

Li Er waved his hand and smiled.

"Cheng Qian, since we threw this hot potato to Liu Xu, and since he also requested, why don't we follow him? If you think about it carefully, if you give these women of eunuchs to each other's families, what will fall is the majesty of the royal family? It's the face of these bastards! In this world, everyone strives for glory and wealth, for what, isn't it just to save face, for this face, many times, they are not even afraid of death! But this time, hehe, Liu Xu doesn't want them to die, but he wants to lose face for them and give them this lesson, otherwise, wouldn't they be too sad and too easy! ”

The law does not blame the public, but only punishes the evil. This is a characteristic of the law.

That's why many officials are so bold.

But Liu Xu's method of dealing with it this time is very funny, don't you like to use your own daughter as your ladder, okay, then your son will marry these women, and he will not come forcibly, and he will draw lots to decide.

You will carry the good and bad reputations for yourselves, and you will taste the bitter fruits.

You can also continue in the future, then this kind of marriage will continue, and the big red sedan chair will be carried into the door of such a daughter's house, depending on what you think in your hearts!

Liu Xu held the holy decree in his hand and dragged the bamboo stick in his hand, and he was still preparing to hold a wedding for them in this flying building.

The guys who were originally smiling, their faces became the color of bitter melon, and their sons were also invited over, their faces were pale, good men, who would like to marry such a woman, Liu Xu sat in the middle, and there was a guy who bowed and bowed.

"Sir, you are also the gentleman of the academy, Lu Yuan is the most admired, but now you are doing this to us, what do you mean?"

Liu Xu's hand scraping the tea foam paused, glanced through, and continued to drink tea until he was comfortable, and then put down the tea bowl.

"What is the principle of the academy?"

Lu Yuan's face turned pale.

"Do what is righteous, investigate what is wrong, and persuade what is not rude."

After saying that, he bowed again.

"Mr.'s teaching, Lu Yuan remembers."

In fact, it is very simple, the father and the son taste, the man, there must be a responsibility, since you know everything in the family, neither persuade nor hinder, but now you come to ask why?

After the lottery was drawn, Liu Xu's tea was also drunk, and looking at the group of people in Wuyang, Liu Xu coughed.

"Buddhism has clouds, where there is a cause and effect, the so-called planting melons get melons, planting beans and getting beans, why are you standing here, why do you come to me to draw this lot, I don't want to say more, to tell the truth, if it is not for His Majesty's will, I am too lazy to look at it, I always feel that this is a kind of sadness, the sorrow of our Tang Dynasty! Shame on our Datang! ”

"I am towering in the Tang Dynasty, with a vast territory, and I dare not obey those who dare to follow, I will pursue and punish them for thousands of miles! If you dare not listen, I will run thousands of miles and punish you! Since the opening of the Tang Dynasty by Gaozu, the Tang Dynasty has gone through a lot of hardships to have today's prosperity, you can still remember, my emperor ploughed, but still remember, the queen spinning, I Datang can have today's prosperity, all rely on His Majesty to lead the predecessors of the martyrs, in the difficult situation, the towering mountains, the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, either galloping in the field, or bowing to the copywriting, I have never heard of the Tang Dynasty's officials, is made of trading, my Tang Dynasty's wealth, is based on children! People can enjoy, you can win over executives, and even, you can go and send some bribes, but there must not be no bottom line! Remember, you are individuals! And not brutes! The beasts, only the pigs, cows and sheep in the pen, will be killed after the New Year, you know! ”

"You may have been lucky at first, thinking that this knife would not fall on your head, because there are many of you, Your Majesty is asking you, without you in this world, the state affairs of the empire will be paralyzed, right? But I tell you, if I want to kill you, I can raise the butcher's knife at any time, and for your actions, I can't wait to cut you off with a knife like Ling Chiquan Gai Suwen! One by one, they read the books of the sages and sages, shouting the rites of the literati, but they are doing things that are not as good as pigs and dogs, this world, this court, what do you want! ”

"Your Majesty, don't you have any talents, the hall Changkong Academy, thousands of students, just pull one over, it's better than you! So, today, I won't kill you, I want you to take a good look at what you have done, and I want you to take these beautiful girls home for me, and tell you that you can't be treated badly, and you will worship your own bitter fruits for the rest of your life! If someone can't stand this humiliation, they can come to me Liu Xu, but I won't meet you, I will erect a stone monument in front of Afang Town, you think it's unfair, you can crash to death on this stone monument, I want to see, who the hell has this courage! ”

"The decree has been given, within three days, all of them will be married to me! You can send me a post Liu Xu, I will go to pay homage one by one, Datang is such an unprecedented wedding feast, I, Liu Xu, really don't want to miss it! Get lost! ”

Dozens of people left in disgrace, and people like them didn't have the courage to hit the stone monument, and they didn't have the courage to resign and go into hiding. Their skins are already too thick to be. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done it.

The eldest grandson Wuji was still smiling, looking at Liu Xu, who was angry and had a thick neck, he smiled even more happily, personally served tea to Liu Xu, and looked at the last afterglow on the horizon, he stretched his waist for a long time.

"Although this idea is good, it can be regarded as offending these people, Liu Xu, are you going to learn from your father-in-law and be a lonely minister?"

Liu Xu pursed his lips and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji angrily.

"What if you don't? Or would you like to think of a better way? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand again and again.

"Hey, don't set me up, I'm old, I don't have a few years to live, I'm now, I just want to arrange the things at hand, where is this leisure."

After a pause, he sighed again.

"That's it, this time, no matter what, I owe you a favor, but you have to be careful, since you have re-entered the court, the old man should fight, but he will not show any mercy, officialdom is like a battlefield, you have your persistence, old man, and old man's plans, you spare them this time, if you die, they can't spare you."

Liu Xu chuckled.

"If I need them to forgive, why should I fight with Zhao Guogong?"

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, laughed, stood up, and made a peer salute to Liu Xu. Then he walked away in a chic manner, and at this moment, Liu Xu even felt that this old guy was actually a few years younger.

Li Er and Li Chengqian clapped their hands, Li Chengqian even winked at Liu Xu a few times, Liu Xu bowed.

Li Er's hand is still holding a long list of names, here, are the individuals who left just now, the names are a little shocking, Li Er's eyes were stiff for a long time, and he sighed.

"Most of these individuals are in important positions, is there really nothing wrong with you handling it like this?"

This is the real monarch and the minister, Liu Xu looked serious.

"Your Majesty, when it comes to ability, in fact, they are all forced out, many people who are looking for a way, in fact, they themselves also have some ability, such as Xu Jingzong, who led this time, does Your Majesty say that this person has no virtue and no talent? The greed of officialdom has been the same since ancient times, and it has been forbidden endlessly, since the dawn of time, clean officials are like a rare man, and corrupt officials are like flying in the sky, which is actually a kind of helplessness, but it is also a kind of survival. My Chinese civilization is a society of human feelings, an official position, to whom to do it is to do, since the relatives and friends around me have this ability, why not promote? At least, we know what they are. ”

Li Er nodded slowly, he himself was actually the same, and he promoted Xu Jingzong, in fact, because he was a former prince scholar.

"So, Your Majesty, killing, is just a kind of deterrence, the so-called killing chickens and monkeys, killing the first evil, and then punishing the evil, this is what you taught Liu Xu, Liu Xu this time, is just a toddler in Handan, and Dong Shi has followed suit."

Li Er laughed and pointed at Liu Xu.

"Ouch, it's terrible, you guys have learned to pat on the back?"

Liu Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Liu Xu is preparing to enter the court as an official, this should be learned, always have to learn a little, always come by his own temperament, but it can't be done, besides, this kind of sycophancy, harmless, can make Your Majesty smile, Liu Xu thinks, but it is worth it."

Li Er snorted again and sat down.

"Well, that's right, I've taken your sycophancy. Actually, you're right, in the officialdom, that's the case, there are stinky stones like Wei Zheng, and there are sleek people like Xu Jingzong and Wuji, they perform their own duties, and I govern this great country, these courtiers are rare. Think about it, if the officialdom is all like Wei Zheng, I have to be fed up every day, where do I have any mind to review and review? But if they are all flatterers like Xu Jingzong, I am also filthy, I can't see right and wrong, and I can't hear the truth. So, yes, the way of king, that's it. You have to remember this clearly. ”

Li Chengqian bowed, and after Li Er nodded, he continued.

"The shepherd dynasty is like shepherding sheep, in fact, as an emperor, there are only a few people who really control, there are so many officials in the world, how wide the people in the world are, I can't take care of everyone, everything I want to get, and even, in order to achieve certain goals, I need to sacrifice something, for example, a few years ago, you kid, you carried a lot for me, did a lot for me, you have been wronged, I can see and hear clearly, but who are you, you are I grew up watching, I am the closest and most trusted person, If I don't let you suffer for me, who else can I let you? In addition to you Liu Xu, who else in the world has this qualification? ”

Li Er was backslapping his ass, Liu Xu was helpless, and thanked him with a wry smile.

"So, you can now understand my painstaking efforts, I am very comforted, dozens of years of life, in a hurry, the more you reach your old age, the more you realize that your time is not enough at all, I only sleep when I am a child, and I get up after three watches, I can't wait to break this time in half, but I can't. So, for now, I can only borrow your hands! The Western Desert, this is my last battle, I have the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, and now, this Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate should also be established. ”

Liu Xu bowed his head and dared to disobey his fate!

Li Er smiled.

"Now on the battlefield, I am relieved enough for you, but the situation in the Western Regions is complicated, it is said that there are red-haired ghosts recently, who often commit crimes, Lu Dongzan is also eyeing the tiger, as well as the Western Turks who are still breathing, desert sand thieves, these add up, it is not a simple Liaodong situation, so, this battle, I am ready to use the power of the whole country, for you to fight, from today on, you are the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, the secretary of the military department, and the head of the Shenji battalion of the inspection school. I give you three years to prepare for war, five years to attack, two years to set up a government, a total of ten years, I am in Chang'an, waiting for you to return, and then, you and I will join the monarchs and ministers, Mount Tai Feng Zen, and spread the good stories of the ages! Liu Xu, tell me, do you dare to accept it? ”

Liu Xu made a standard military salute, bowed, and raised his hands.

"Minister, Liu Xu, should be the arm of my emperor, and the minister who sweeps the world!"

Li Er raised his hand and smiled, stroking his long beard.

"Don't be so serious, I've always trusted you, and I know that you've never been a loser to me. Hehe, seeing that you have finally grown up, I am standing here today, thinking a lot, I remember, back then, you were a grandson monkey who was alive, as if born from heaven and earth, jumped to my Tang Dynasty, jumped in front of me Li Shimin, everyone in the world is afraid of locusts, you kid, but dare to be the first in the world, in the name of me, to solve the pest of locusts, I thought at that time, could it be that I Li Shimin moved the sky, and descended such a treasure as you, for my use? When I was ready to observe you kid, you started your havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and the world was ready to see your jokes, but it turned out that it was me and the world who really laughed at me. To tell you the truth, even now, I'm still thinking, you kid, are you a human or an immortal. Hehe, but, I've figured it out now, whether it's a human being or an immortal, you're always Liu Xu and Liu Ziyu who I watched grow up, so that's enough! ”

"Therefore, Liu Xu, you remember, today, I am not in the name of the emperor, but in the three words of my Li Shimin, I will give you a word, in Chang'an City, I, Li Shimin, wait for you to return, drink and talk happily, for you General Liu, congratulations!"
