Chapter 840: Liu Renliang is detained
Liu Renliang was detained! When the news came, Li Xiu immediately couldn't sit still, and immediately said goodbye to Tian Tuoke, leaving Xu Jingzong to deal with the recruitment of small officials, while he himself hurried to the palace to see Li Shimin, because this news was notified to him by Li Shimin, and he didn't know the specific situation now.
Liu Renliang is one of the young eunuchs selected by Li Xiu, originally in the original history, Liu Renliang is still only doing a small position as a county lieutenant, even if Li Xiu wants to write a question, it is impossible to let him hold such an important position as this young eunuch, but the last time smallpox broke out, Li Xiu recommended Liu Renliang to Li Shimin, and Liu Renliang was also transferred to Hengzhou, Hebei as a county magistrate.
When Liu Renliang first served as the county commander, it was only a county magistrate of the lower county, and later because of his outstanding political achievements, especially the crackdown on bandits in the county, so that the county was well ordered, so two years later he was transferred to a county in Cangzhou to continue to serve as the county commander, but this county is an upper county, and the official position has also changed from the seventh grade to the sixth grade, if nothing else, he may be transferred back to Chang'an in two years.
However, the financial supervision was newly established, and Li Xiu was short of manpower, so he quickly thought of Liu Renliang, so he asked Li Shimin to issue an order to transfer him back, but Liu Renliang was in Cangzhou, and it was not ordinary far from Chang'an, so even if he was notified in advance, it would take a while to rush back on the road.
It's just that even if Liu Renliang was delayed on the road for some time, he should have rushed to Chang'an, but he didn't expect to see his figure all the time, Li Xiu was still a little worried before, but he didn't expect Liu Renliang to be detained on the road, no wonder he hasn't arrived in Chang'an until now, but Li Xiu is also a little strange, Liu Renliang is also an official of the imperial court, who has the courage to detain an official?
Li Xiu rode a horse to the palace quickly, and then came to the Liangyi Hall to meet Li Shimin, but as soon as he entered the palace, he saw Li Shimin personally standing up and greeting him: "Li Xiu, you came very quickly, but don't worry, this matter is just a misunderstanding." ”
"Misunderstanding?" Li Xiu frowned when he heard this, and at the same time, he also felt that Li Shimin's performance was a little abnormal, but he still held back the anxiety in his heart and asked, "Your Majesty, what is going on, Liu Renliang is an official of the imperial court, who has the courage to detain him?" ”
"This ......" Li Shimin also knew that Li Xiu attached great importance to Liu Renliang, but this time the facts were not easy to explain, so he was also a little embarrassed at this time, so he also looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, who was also summoned by him, with his eyes.
The eldest grandson Wuji arrived one step ahead of Li Xiu, and he already knew what happened, and he also knew that Li Shimin called him, in fact, he wanted him to help make peace, so he also stepped forward at this time and said: "Don Ma, this matter is a long story, let's sit down and talk, and Liu Renliang is already on the way back to Chang'an, it is estimated that he will arrive in three or five days, so you don't have to worry about his safety!" ”
Hearing that Liu Renliang was fine, Li Xiu's heart relaxed slightly, and then entered the hall with Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, and then sat down separately, only to see the eldest grandson Wuji speak instead of Li Shimin and explained: "Don Ma, you chose this Liu Renliang as the young eunuch of the financial supervisor, it is indeed the right person, this person on the way back, as long as he hears that there is a local money bureau, he has to go to check it in person, very responsible!" ”
"Brother Eldest Sun, Liu Renliang couldn't have accidentally offended someone when he was checking these coinage bureaus, so he was detained, right?" Li Xiu also immediately felt that something was wrong when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and asked again at the moment, daring to detain an official must be another higher-level official, and the Minting Bureau is a rich place, it is difficult to guarantee that someone in the local area will reach out to the Minting Bureau.
"This ...... Hehe~" The eldest grandson Wuji didn't expect Li Xiu to guess the reason at once, and he couldn't help laughing dryly at the moment, the person who dared to detain Liu Renliang was naturally not an ordinary person, so Li Shimin and him were also very embarrassed now.
"Your Majesty, I don't know who is so bold as to dare to detain the imperial court officials?" Li Xiu held back his anger at this time and solemnly saluted Li Shimin, Liu Renliang is a square person and has always been not afraid of the powerful, even Li Shimin couldn't let him bow his head at the beginning, so it was not surprising to offend some high-ranking officials and nobles in the local area.
"Alas, since you want to know the horse, then I will tell the truth, in fact, this time the incident is indeed a misunderstanding, Liu Renliang deliberately detoured to Taiyuan when he returned to Changchang, because there is the largest coinage bureau in the north......"
Li Shimin sighed at this time, and then told Liu Renliang about the seizure, it turned out that when Liu Renliang personally went to Taiyuan to check the coinage, he didn't know why he had a conflict with Zhou Shaofan, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, Zhou Shaofan didn't know that Liu Renliang was Li Xiu's person, and only thought that the other party was a passing official, so he didn't care, and directly asked people to detain him.
However, Liu Renliang did not return for a long time, and the officials also sent someone to investigate, only to find that Liu Renliang was detained in Taiyuan by Zhou Shaofan, and hurriedly sent someone over to ask for someone, until then Zhou Shaofan knew that the official he detained was actually recommended by Li Xiu, and he was going to serve as a young eunuch in the financial supervision presided over by Li Xiu, which surprised him and hurriedly released the person at the moment.
"It turned out to be the envoy of the Hedong Festival, it's really a great majesty!" Li Xiu couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this, when he went to Taiyuan to move the tomb for Queen Dou, he had seen Zhou Shaofan, and he could see that this person was a cold and ruthless person with his attitude towards Li Xiaogong, but Zhou Shaofan had nothing to do with him at that time, so Li Xiu didn't care, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to provoke him this time.
"I also know that Zhou Shaofan has done something too much this time, so I have already sent someone to reprimand him, and he also knows how to be measured, although he temporarily detained Liu Renliang, but he also knew that the other party was an official of the imperial court, so he didn't embarrass the other party, and later got that Liu Renliang was the person recommended by you, and immediately let the other party go, so don't be too angry!" At this time, Li Shimin spoke again to persuade and said that Zhou Shaofan was his confidant, otherwise he would not hand over such an important position as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu to the other party.
"Your Majesty, the minister is not angry with Zhou Jiedu, but the minister feels that there is one thing that is very inappropriate!" I saw that Li Xiu pondered for a moment at this time, and then said solemnly again.
"Oh? What's wrong? Li Shimin saw that Li Xiu really didn't look angry, and he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity at the moment, and even the eldest grandson Wuji next to him was also a little surprised, because if he was Li Xiu, I am afraid that he would also be angry by Zhou Shaofan, so Li Xiu's performance is really a little incomprehensible?
"Your Majesty, in the eyes of the ministers, my Tang Dynasty is like a towering tree, and the court is the trunk and branches, and the people are the leaves, if a big tree wants to grow well, it must be strong and weak, only when the trunk is strong, can it support many branches and leaves, but if some branches are too thick, even more than the trunk, then Your Majesty thinks this big tree can still grow well?" Li Xiu gave another example at this time.
"Strong and weak branches? Li Xiu, what do you mean......" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Xiu's analogy, and then couldn't help frowning, he had vaguely guessed the deep meaning of Li Xiu's words, but he was still a little uncertain for a while.
"Your Majesty, now that my Tang Dynasty has not long been founded, Your Majesty also has the most elite army in the world, and the court is united, naturally forming a strong and weak branch, so my Datang's national strength is becoming more and more prosperous, but if it is peaceful for a long time, no matter how elite the soldiers will be old, the army stationed in Chang'an, Luoyang and other core areas will not be on the battlefield for a long time, and the combat effectiveness will definitely degrade, on the other hand, in remote places, the army fights with foreign enemies all the year round, even if the equipment is not as good as the army in Chang'an and other places, but the combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to these armies that have not been on the battlefield!" Li Xiu continued to speak at this time, loyal to the ear, these words are not something that anyone dares to say.
"I understand what you mean, but the rotation of garrisons and frontier garrisons in Chang'an and other places will naturally solve this problem!" Li Shimin frowned again at this time and said, these words did sound a little harsh to him, but he also knew that Li Xiu was telling the truth, so he could also listen to it, of course, he also had his own opinions.
"The rotation of the army can only solve the problem for a while, but it cannot solve the fundamental, and most of the frontier garrisons are recruited locally, even if they are stationed in Chang'an for a few years, they will have to return to the frontier sooner or later, of course, if the imperial court has a strong control over the frontier, then that's it, but now Your Majesty has set up a post of Jiedu envoy in various parts of the frontier, and the local military and government affairs are grasped, and now Your Majesty can also guarantee the loyalty of these people, but as time goes by, these people and their successors hold military and political power, and they want money and money, and they want people, How can we control them? Li Xiu retorted sharply at this time.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a contemplative expression, and the eldest grandson Wuji next to him also frowned, and then said: "What does the concubine mean is that Your Majesty has too much power to those Jiedu envoys?" ”
"Yes, the Jiedu envoy not only has the power of the army, but also can control the local officials, and even has the right to start a war with foreign enemies without the consent of the imperial court, of course, this is conducive to the invasion of foreign enemies, my Tang Dynasty can make a timely counterattack, but there must be advantages and disadvantages, which also causes the power in the hands of the Jiedu to be too large, such as Zhou Shaofan this time, if he does not have great power in his hands, how can he dare to detain an official of the imperial court?" Li Xiu said with a serious face this time, originally he didn't plan to reduce the power in the hands of the Jiedu envoy so early, but this time Zhou Shaofan himself bumped into the muzzle, so don't blame him.
