In the back garden of the palace, there was a bookcase in the open space, and Liu Yuan was lying very leisurely on the side, covered with a fox fur. In recent days, Jinyang has been warm every day, adding a lot of warmth to this winter.

The main hall of the palace has been transformed into a small hall, the inside is empty, a little cold, the sun is just right, Liu Yuan simply moved to this courtyard to deal with official business. There are a few plum blossoms in the corner of the courtyard, which are old enough trees to bloom in full bloom. Plum is abundant in the south, in this north, it is rare, according to Liu Yuan's obtained, these plants are not known how many Taiyuan Taishou spent energy transplanted here.

Purple, red, white, all kinds of petals bloomed, a faint fragrance filled the nose, Liu Yuan supported his forehead with his right hand, and flipped through a hardcover book with his left hand. Word by word, column by column, paragraph by paragraph, read very seriously.

After deletion, deletion, reduction, revision, revision, and revision, until now, the criminal law of the Xia Kingdom has finally been written. At the beginning of the year, Wang Rou submitted a first draft to Liu Yuan, but Liu Yuan was not very satisfied, only felt that many criminal punishments were too light, and they were inferior to those when the Han Dynasty was peaceful.

In the past six months or so, Wang Rou has gathered many children of Meiji's "Legalists", blended the laws of Qin and Han, and compiled a book. After watching it intently for an hour and a half, before I finished reading, the tea maids on the case had changed several times.

With satisfaction on his face, Liu Yuan got up, closed the book, and wrote two words on the cover: Da Huo. "Xia Dahe" is released.

"Someone!"

He ordered the attendant officials in the palace: "Stamp the king's seal, send this law back to Meiji, and let Wang Rou publish it as soon as possible and spread it to all counties and departments in the country." Taiyuan and Yanmen are the same! ”

"Also, let the Great Situ Lanzhi return to Meiji to sit down!" After thinking about it, Liu Yuan instructed again, and now the supreme administrator of Meiji is Wang Rou, although he is not in charge of the army, Liu Yuan is also a little "uneasy".

After sitting for a long time, my body is also a little tired, and I am a little sleepy. Seeing Liu Yuan's tiredness, Zhang Rang stepped forward and squatted down, pinched Liu Yuan's shoulder, and asked tentatively while pinching: "Wang, ...... Madame's over there?"

Seeing that there was no sign of anger on Liu Yuan's face, Zhang Rang continued: "Madame's side has set up dinner tonight, I want to invite you over and ask you for your guilt!" ”

Since returning home from that day, Liu Yuan has been much colder to Wannian, forbidden him, and has not stayed overnight for many days, which makes him feel uneasy, so he asked Zhang to inquire on his behalf.

Liu Yuan changed his comfortable posture, closed his eyes and enjoyed Zhang Rang's beating, paused for a few breaths, and replied leisurely: "You reply to her, if you are free, you will go tonight!" ”

"No!" Zhang Rang took a closer look at Liu Yuan's face, and saw that he showed no signs of life, so he felt at ease and pressed Liu Yuan with his heart.

"King, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping ask to meet!" At this time, Long Wei walked over and said.

"Huh?" Why did these two come, but also, after taking Taiyuan, they have not officially met them. After thinking for a while, he instructed Long Wei: "Xuan! Lead the two here! ”

People have three urgency, one morning, drank a lot of tea, Liu Yuan came back with a convenience, and Su and Zhang were already standing respectfully in the courtyard. Seeing Liu Yuan coming, the two bowed down together: "Meet the king!" ”

Wash his hands in the water next to him, wipe it with a silk scarf, sit down in the case, and see the two people who were still standing in front of him, Liu Yuan stretched out his hand: "Sit!" ”

There were already servants who put on a small case, spread a carpet, and the two sat down, Su said to Liu Yuanyu: "In the garden of the palace, it is quiet and elegant, and it is an excellent place for self-cultivation. The king is in the case, and there is such a Yaxing, which makes the villain admire! ”

Liu Yuan was in the courtyard, just wanting to bask in the sun, and he didn't care about Su Shuang's praise. Looking at the two of them for a moment, Liu Yuan sighed with a smile: "It has been fourteen years since Xiping met the two in Meiji in the sixth year. ”

"yes!" Listening to Liu Yuan's calm tone and sighing, the faint tension in the hearts of the two dissipated a lot, and Zhang Shiping said: "The king's memory is really good, and now the king is heroic, and he is fighting for the world." But the two of us have become dying! ”

"Huh!" Liu Yuan waved his hand when he heard this: "The two of you are in the prime of life, and over the years, you have made a lot of contributions to my Xia Guoguo. Taking great risks, the collection and transportation of grain, cloth, and iron ore, the collection and transmission of intelligence news, and the previous breakthrough of Jinyang. The work of the two is remembered in their hearts. ”

"That's all we have to do?"

"What is the matter with the two of you who came to look for orphans today?"

"This ......" The two of them glanced at each other, and they didn't know how to speak, of course they didn't come to visit Liu Yuan purely.

Looking at the performance of the two, Liu Yuan came back to his senses, and said with a faint smile: "The two of you are still white now, how can you not appreciate them for making great contributions to isolation." In this way, I will give you the third-class earl of Xia Kingdom for the time being. ”

"King Xie!" When the two of them heard this, they immediately bowed down.

"Also, in the summer, the national grain, iron transshipment, revenue, everything is complicated and disorderly, inefficient, and desperate to carry out reforms. The two of you should be good at this, and you are the two of you in charge of the new grain, salt, and iron transport envoys. Su Shuang, you are the transfer envoy, and Zhang Shiping is the deputy transfer envoy. Grain, salt, and iron are related to the military state, and it is a matter of heavy responsibility and prudence in the commission alone! ”

"Villain...... The ministers will be loyal and dutiful, and live up to the king's trust! The two were even more overjoyed.

"One thing, I hope you two must remember, since you are the officials of my Xia Kingdom, especially the matter of grain, salt, and iron, in order to avoid criticism from others, the goods in your two families are worth making a living......

"Don't worry, the king will make proper arrangements!" Su Shuang immediately said.

"It's the same with the minister!"

got the title and had an official body, Su Zhang and the others smiled and left satisfied.

"Zhang Rang, what do you think of these two?" After the two retreated, Liu Yuan asked Zhang to give way.

"The king is really a man who makes the best use of it! These two people, from a businessman, have become important ministers of my Xia country, presumably many unambitious people in the Han Dynasty will compete to vote! ”

Liu Yuan chuckled when he heard this, his face was calm, his eyes were clear, and he didn't say anything.

Looking at the pile of official documents on the bookcase, he couldn't help laughing, he still had to be busy.

……

"King, there are two Han scholars outside the palace gate, claiming to be Min Chun and Li Li in Jizhou, and want to ask to see the king!" Liu Yuan took up the pen and reviewed it for less than two quarters of an hour, and then another guard came to report.

"Oh?" Liu Yuan put down his pen when he heard this, and let out a sigh: "What's the matter today, there is an endless stream of door-to-door visitors!" Former Jizhou don't drive and govern the middle, could it be Han Fu's subordinates? How did you get to Jinyang? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yuan became a little clear and interested. The matter of Jizhou, relying only on a few secret agents, the information obtained is too general. Now people from Jizhou can be seen.

"Zhang Rang, you go and lead the two into the mansion!" Liu Yuan turned his head and ordered.
