Chapter 40: Grace
In the morning, Liu Xuan summoned the officials of Guanyang County and gathered in the hall. The turmoil last night, as well as the news www.biquge.info that Ye Xin was killed and the Ye family was raided, have spread.
Everyone understands that Liu Xuan at this time has already taken control of Guanyang County.
The hall was silent.
Everyone's eyes fell on Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan said slowly: "Last night, Ye Xin gathered a crowd to rebel. Ye Xin himself has been killed by this official. There are two things to invite you to the county office. The first thing is to inform you of this. ”
After everyone heard this, they all unified their voices, and said in unison that Ye Xin should die.
At this time, it was Liu Xuan who was respected.
It's just that in the eyes of everyone, there is still some apprehension, because there is a second thing?
Liu Xuan was silent, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely dignified.
After a long while, Liu Xuancai spoke: "Another thing is that when the soldiers searched Ye Xin's study, they found a box of letters. ”
Brush!
In the hall, all the officials changed color.
When Ye Xin presided over Guanyang County, these people, whether they were voluntary or forced, more or less had dealings with Ye Xin, but it was just an exchange of interests between the two parties, but they didn't expect Ye Xin to leave a letter. In fact, when Ye Xin was in contact with them, Ye Xin sent people to pass on the word and did not leave evidence. As for the officials, they were forcibly asked by Ye Xin to pass on the content by letter, leaving evidence.
Everyone looked at Liu Xuan, uneasy in their hearts.
Could it be that Liu Xuan wants to settle accounts?
Liu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Come on, bring the box up." ”
In an instant, a soldier walked in with a large box. The box was opened, and the bamboo slips and paper letters inside were impressively presented in the eyes of all the officials.
At this moment, everyone was even more worried.
Liu Xuan said: "Are you very nervous when you see these letters? But don't worry, the official has also prepared a brazier. All the letters will be thrown into the brazier and burned in one fire. ”
"Whew!"
A soothing voice came out of everyone's mouths.
The officials in the hall looked relaxed.
Liu Xuan ordered someone to bring a brazier and burn all the bamboo slips and letters in front of all the officials. Then he ordered the brazier and the chest to be taken away.
At this moment, everyone's eyes looking at Liu Xuan changed faintly.
In my heart, there is a trace of gratitude.
It's just that when I think of what happened last night, and when I think of the tragic situation of the Ye family, I am afraid in my heart.
Gratitude is mixed with fear, and the mood is quite complicated.
Liu Xuan continued: "The matter before this official governed Guanyang County will not be pursued. However, this official is now governing Guanyang County, and if there are any more illegal things such as corruption and fraud, he will not be lightly punished. Those who are light will be dismissed from office and punished, and those who are serious will be directly executed. ”
The cold voice made the official's heart chill.
Everyone looked at Liu Xuan and understood that Liu Xuan had established rules, which was the real rule. At this time, everyone chose to submit to obedience, and they all patted their chests and promised that they would abide by the law and obey Liu Xuan's orders, and there would be no transgression in the slightest.
Liu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, changed his words, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Xin was killed, and the position of the county official is vacant." As for the selection of the prefectural officer, the official will be reappointed. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately fell silent.
County Cheng!
This position is second only to Liu Xuan's official position.
Once he becomes a county official, he is Liu Xuan's real confidant, and he can get Liu Xuan's respect.
Li Yi's breathing was even more rapid.
Liu Xuan came to Guanyang County to serve, and he was the first to submit to Liu Xuan. defeated Ye Xin, and now in terms of meritorious deeds, it should be him. However, Li Yi just thought about it, after all, there were people around Liu Xuan, and if he wanted to arrange it, it was likely to arrange the people around Liu Xuan.
Officials such as Fang Li and Zhou Ji had no expectations in their hearts.
The position of county leader is not something they can look up to.
Liu Xuan's eyes fell on Li Yi's body, and he said in a deep voice: "Li Yi listens to orders." ”
"Humble duty!"
Li Yi stood up with an excited expression.
At this moment, Li Yi was sure that it must be him, and his heart couldn't help but beat.
Liu Xuan saw Li Yi's excited emotions and smiled in his heart, now that Li Yi's official position has gone further, he will inevitably be more loyal to him. Liu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Li Yi, you have made a contribution to the extermination of Ye Lie of Jiulu Mountain; suppressed the Ye family's rebellion, you have contributed a lot. In view of your merits, this official has appointed you to the post of county governor, and I hope that you will fulfill your duties and benefit the people. ”
Li Yi clasped his hands together and saluted: "The humble position must be conscientious and conscientious, and live up to the high expectations of the lord." ”
Liu Xuan waved his hand, and Li Yi turned around and returned to his seat.
Liu Xuan said again: "Zhou Cang listens to orders!" ”
"The last general!"
Zhou Cang stood up and saluted with his fists clenched.
Liu Xuan commanded in a deep voice: "You have the credit for destroying Jiulu Mountain; You have made great contributions to quelling the Yexin rebellion. This official appoints you as the county governor of Guanyang County. ”
"Thank you, my lord!"
Zhou Cang's face was filled with a smile and gratitude.
The officials listened to Liu Xuan's words and looked at Zhou Cang with a look of surprise. Liu Xuan killed Ye Lie with his own strength and pacified the bandits in Jiulu Mountain, which was obviously impossible. With Zhou Cang's help, everything makes sense.
Zhou Cang also had an insight into this.
In fact, he did not participate in the war to exterminate Ye Lie. In order to make it easier for him to integrate into Guanyang County and gain a firm foothold in Guanyang County, Liu Xuan said that the extermination of Ye Lie had something to do with him.
Zhou Cang returned to his seat and sat down. He became the county lieutenant of Guanyang County, and he was the most powerful person in Guanyang County, and since then he has truly gotten rid of his identity as a bandit.
"My lord, I have something to say about my humble position."
Suddenly, Fang Li, the chief bookkeeper, stood up and bowed. He was thin and old-fashioned.
Liu Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Master Fang said it directly." ”
Fang Li said: "I am old, dizzy, and already overwhelmed. If he continues to stay in the position of the chief bookkeeper, he will only be able to eat a vegetarian meal and will not be able to make efforts for Guanyang County. Humble pleading, resignation. ”
The words were said sincerely.
Fang Li is old and proficient, and he knows his own situation very well. Li Yi, the county leader, was obedient to Liu Xuan early and was Liu Xuan's confidant. Zhou Cang, the county lieutenant, is Liu Xuan's person. The powerful person in Guanyang County is the only one who is the main book, not Liu Xuan's person.
Now that he is submissive to Liu Xuan, it is already a step too late.
On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to snore.
If Liu Xuan wants to take power, he will never leave an element of instability.
Moreover, Fang Li is really old. At his age, let him grovel to a little doll, and Fang Li was unwilling, so he simply resigned.
Liu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Master Fang is highly respected, and now he is resigning from the official position, which is really a loss for Guanyang County." Fang master book, then think about it. ”
Fang Li said: "Xia Guan has already thought it through, Xia Guan is old and frail and can no longer be competent. ”
Liu Xuan nodded in agreement and said, "In this case, this official has approved your request." After the Fang master book left office, he was still the Fang master book of Guanyang County. If you have any ideas and suggestions in the future, you can come directly to the county government to find your own official. If there is something in charge of the master's book, this official will not be dismissive. ”
"Thank you, sir."
Fang Li bowed his hand and returned to his seat.
In his heart, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the initiative to vacate the official position of the chief bookkeeper, and Liu Xuan also gave enough sincerity to let him have any ideas and suggestions, and he could go directly to Liu Xuan. That's what he said, but in fact, he didn't let Fang Lizhen go to Liu Xuan, he gave Fang Li a talisman.
Once someone really bullied Fang Li, you can find Liu Xuan.
