365 Chapter 3 of the Covenant

readx;

Xiao Buyi broke the tree and repelled the bandits with his own strength, and repelled the eighteen horsemen with his magic skills, Jia Runfu didn't feel anything when he saw it, because Xiao Buyi's prestige spread far and wide, and he would definitely be able to do what people couldn't. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But when he heard Xiao Buyi say that no one was born to be a bandit, and the people wanted to be stable, Jia Runfu's nose suddenly became sour.

His eyes were blurred with tears, and he saw that Xiao Buyi seemed to have become Zhang Xutuo.

Didn't General Zhang say the same thing at the beginning, so he rarely killed them all? But although General Zhang's intentions are good, but after all, he is emaciated to build a tower in the sand, and he doesn't know if Xiao Buyi can realize General Zhang's wish?

Xiao Buyi looked at Li Wenxiang with a smile, his face was full of sincerity, but Li Wenxiang was unmoved, took two steps back, and said angrily: "Xiao Buyi, you are really delusional." My martial arts are not as good as yours, but I don't necessarily have the courage to be as good as you, if you don't kill me, otherwise I will leave. You want to buy people's hearts with this recruitment, but you underestimate me Li Wenxiang. ”

Jia Runfu said angrily: "Li Wenxiang, you don't have to know what to do!" ”

Li Wenxiang sneered: "Jia Runfu, you four family slaves, first followed Yang Yichen, then Pei Renji, and then Wagang, and now you have taken refuge in Xiao Buyi, you have no shame, what qualifications do you have to laugh at me?" ”

Jia Runfu's face was red, but Xiao Buyi shook his head, "Li Wenxiang, I didn't underestimate you, I looked down on you." Turning over on the white horse, Xiao Buyi said indifferently: "Runfu, let's go." ”

Although Jia Runfu was angry, he still followed the horse, Xiao Buyi returned to the saddle, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity." I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch! ”

After he finished speaking, he urged the horse to find a shallow place to cross the Luoshui, only to see the horse's hooves flying, splashing in all directions, and under the bright moon, there was a bright heartbeat.

Li Wenxiang sat down weakly, unbelievable that Xiao Buyi had let him go.

In his eyes, Xiao Buyi is actually no different from the devil! At the beginning of the two battles of Huiluo and Beibi Mountain, the Wagang and Sui armies fought bloodily, and the people of Wagang were palpitating no matter which one of them. The originally vulnerable Sui army, under the leadership of Xiao Buyi, unexpectedly regained its strong combat ability, which made the Wagang people frightened. Seeing the bloody battle of the Sui army, the Wagang people were more or less confused, and they no longer knew what they were going to do!

What kind of cohesion will there be for people who have no purpose?

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Li Wenxiang remembered what Xiao Buyi had just said about the bright moon and ditch, and vaguely knew what it meant, but he didn't understand it, so he snorted, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and scolded, but the voice was the same as a mosquito.

**

There is a bright moon in the sky, and acacia is taken every year.

When Dou Hongxian looked up at Mingyue, his nose was slightly sour and there were tears in his eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it.

When she heard that Su Dingfang was dissatisfied with Luo Shixin, she would still defend Luo Shixin and spare no effort. It's like the moon in the sky, just a faint glow, bringing a meager hope to the night, even if others don't pay attention, even if the person who illuminates it turns a blind eye to it.

There is a kind of love in this world, which is called giving!

Su Dingfang heard what Dou Hongxian said, shook his head and said, "Red line, I said what do you ...... Alas...... I think that although you have known him since childhood, he has saved you, but you have also saved him...... That's a bit of a tie, right? ”

Dou Hongxian smiled bitterly, and another man shook his head and said: "Dingfang, this thing is not radish and cabbage, you give me half a catty, and I will pay you back eight taels, the matter of feelings is really complicated." ”

"Look at what you said, it seems to be a serious matter, Wang Fubao, your mother-in-law heard it, I don't know how to feel?"

Wang Fubao just smiled innocently, "My mother-in-law and I don't fight and scold every day, if you don't scold, how can you live your life?" ”

Dou Hongxian looked at the two people beside him and said softly: "Two generals, my niece has her own sense of proportion, and she will not miss things, please rest assured." ”

Like her father, she is respectful to the subordinates around her father, so that she can get the respect and love of these men. Su Dingfang has followed his father for many years, and so has this Wang Fubao, in the past few years, he has followed his father to fight in Hebei, Shandong, and has made great contributions.

Su Dingfang sighed lightly, "Red line, I don't blame you, I just feel that it's not worth it for you." If you give so much, it will be fine if you only get nothing, but if you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly said sharply: "Who is it?" ”

Su Dingfang pulled his horse and drew his knife, looked at the foot of the mountain, and saw a person standing there lonely, because his back was in the direction of the moon, the clear light was sprinkled down, dragging out a long shadow, and he couldn't see his face clearly for a while.

Su Dingfang and Wang Fubao didn't know who it was for a while, but Dou Hongxian's heart was beating wildly, he snorted lightly, and he had already flown off the horse, and said in surprise: "Shixin, how are you ...... Injured? ”

Luo Shixin's face was mixed with blood and dust, and he was ugly, but Dou Hongxian could recognize him at a glance!

"I ...... It's none of your business to get hurt. ”

Dou Hongxian's smile was a little stiff, and her enthusiasm unsurprisingly met the coldness, which made her not angry, but only heartache, because she knew that Luo Shixin was not such a person.

Although Dou Hongxian didn't mind, Su Dingfang sneered: "Luo Shixin, who do you think you are?" ”

Luo Shixin muttered, "I'm no one! ”

Dou Hongxian saw his numbness, pain, and embarrassment, and his heart hurt like a knife, "Shixin, who hurt you?" I...... We settle accounts with him. She couldn't help but be shocked while her heart ached, secretly thinking that Luo Shixin was strong in martial arts, and he could seriously injure him like this, which went without saying that he was a top master.

"You can't." Luo Shixin spit out three words, but he was still very cold.

Su Dingfang was furious, he almost saw Dou Hongxian grow up, and regarded Dou Hongxian as his daughter, seeing her depressed, he was inevitably dissatisfied with Luo Shixin. Seeing that Dou Hongxian had touched the cold nail again, he shouted angrily: "Boy, we can't do it, and you may not be able to do it." ”

I thought Luo Shixin would be angry, but I didn't expect him to nod, "Yes, I can't either." In this world, there are very few people who can fight against Xiao Buyi. ”

Dou Hongxian was surprised: "It turns out that it was Xiao Buyi who hurt you?" Thinking of Xiao Buyi's extremely high martial arts, coupled with the fact that Luo Shixin has always been against Xiao Buyi, Dou Hongxian believed it very much, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Shixin, you don't have to worry, although Xiao Buyi is strong now, I am only afraid of ......"

Su Dingfang coughed, "Red line!" ”

Dou Hongxian's face was slightly red, and he said softly: "Shixin, don't worry, our common enemy is Xiao Buyi, why don't we join forces to fight him?" ”

Luo Shixin looked at her for a long time, "Ling Zun wants to be the enemy of Xiao Buyi?" ”

Su Dingfang's throat was almost hoarse, but Dou Hongxian nodded and said, "Yes, we are here today, in fact, we are discussing with Li Mi to join forces against Xiao Buyi!" ”

The corners of Luo Shixin's mouth grinned, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, "You want to fight against Xiao Buyi, but I don't want to be his enemy now." ”

After he finished speaking, he staggered away, and Dou Hongxian was stunned on the ground, crying and laughing for a while. When he came back to his senses, he saw the clear light in front of him, and Luo Shixin had long since disappeared.

"Shixin ......" Dou Hongxian couldn't help but call, his nose was sour, and tears almost flowed out.

Su Dingfang said angrily: "Red line, you are too obsessed, I will say that this kid doesn't know what to do." I think you took great pains to persuade King Changle to join forces with Li Mi to attack Xiao Buyi for this kid, but I didn't expect him to treat you like this, wasting all your hard work. ”

Dou Hongxian looked into the distance, and said after a while: "Then am I wrong?" If Xiao Buyi defeats Li Mi, the next step will definitely be to attack Hebei and Shandong, if we don't do it in advance, sooner or later we will become a prisoner of his subordinates. ”

Su Dingfang snorted coldly, but did not speak.

Wang Fubao said softly: "The red line is also true, Xiao Buyi's power is strong, dominating the Central Plains, our current goal should be to join forces to resist it, otherwise if he is broken by each other, it will be too late to regret it." I can only hate Luo Shixin, this person is capricious, first rebelled against Zhang Xutuo, and then rebelled against Du Fuwei, and has always been hostile to us. Red line, this person is by no means a good couple, you have to think carefully. ”

Dou Hongxian forced a smile and said, "Two generals, the red line knows." ”

Su Dingfang and Wang Fubao are both from the past, how can they not see Dou Hongxian's insincerity, they glanced at each other and shook their heads slowly. Dou Hongxian just looked at the end of the moon, and secretly thought to himself, what Shixin was thinking, why didn't I know at all?

**

Xiao Buyi was in the Eastern Capital, and he received two messages in a day, and he couldn't help frowning and muttering for a long time.

After he returned to the Eastern Capital, he only rested for a while, and announced that he would see a hundred officials in the early morning of the second day.

The situation in the world is gradually becoming clearer, and the people have long been tired of thinking about it, and now in addition to the war, it is also very important to pacify the people.

Others are in a high position, only then do they understand that it is not easy to be a good emperor, although there are a group of ministers who are dedicated to assisting, Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Pei Xingyan and others are fighting outside, and Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and others are trying their best to assist, but now the Great Sui is only an empty shell, external worries and internal troubles, relying on the work of a few people, if you want to revitalize, it is not easy to talk about it.

At present, it is necessary to tap the internal strength of the Sui Dynasty, and focus on not intensifying the contradictions. The higher his official position, the more he felt that it was not easy to be a good emperor, although his subordinates had tried their best to reduce the burden on him, but many things, he had to do it himself.

The plan exists, but if it is implemented, it is very difficult, Yang Guang's pace is too fast, and the people are not making a living, and Xiao Buyi is vigilant, how can he repeat the mistakes of the past?

Although Xiao Buyi is the Duke of Liang Guogong and is in charge of hundreds of officials, there are few in the early dynasty, but he is worthy of the name of the Three Treasures Palace. There have been some times when the Eastern Capital has been rectified, but now is of course the time to look at the results.

Seeing Xiao Buyi's solemn face, the officials were all worried in their hearts, and they didn't know if what they were doing was in line with Xiao Buyi's thoughts.

Xiao Buyi was in a high position, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, also came, but he set up a seat on the side to show respect. King Yue got his mother's orders, and he respected Xiao Buyi in everything, and he came to the early dynasty to represent support, and he did not make suggestions. Seeing that Xiao Buyi has always been respectful and polite to him, and treats the harem kindly, his heart is a little settled.

At this time, Yang Tong didn't expect Yang Guang to turn around, just to seek stability.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this general has to be more important and entrusted with important tasks, and now it has been several months, and he is conscientious and conscientious, and he does not dare to be leisurely."

The ministers said in unison: "Liang Guogong is hard. ”

King Yue said on the side: "Liang Guogong has worked hard all night, I will see it in my eyes as soon as possible, and today I say that this king has something to ask Chen." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "King Yue, please speak." ”

King Yue got up and said: "Liang Guogong has been working hard all night, rectifying the dynasty, and Liankewagang, and his contributions to the world are obvious to all, but Liang Guogong only remembers to add officials to others, but he doesn't want anything." This king and the old ministers discussed, want to add Liang Guogong as the king of Western Liang, and give the ten counties of Xiangcheng, Hanoi, Nanyang, and Changping to the king of Western Liang, this is the list of ten counties...... "King Yue will present a fold, look back at the ministers and say: "I don't know what the adults think?" ”

Baiguan said respectfully: "It should be so." ”

Xiao Buyi glanced at the folds, and knew that King Yue was just giving a favor, these ten counties were near the eastern capital, but most of them were in the hands of Wagang, and they had to manage it themselves, and they always had to fight down.

But in any case, this is always a good phenomenon, and the support of the hundred officials led by the king of Yue will reduce a lot of resistance to his advance.

After thanking Queen Yue, Xiao Buyi coughed lightly, the Daxing Hall was silent, and Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "Originally, the eastern capital was worried about external and internal troubles, and it was already full of holes, but in the past few months, there has been the dedication of all the adults, which can ensure the peace of the eastern capital." Ben Wang ...... Whatever the Lord has done, he is conscientious, and although it is a turbulent time, he can do his job well, which really gratifies the king......"

As soon as he said this, the ministers all breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that Xiao Buyi was lenient to people, and those who were originally worried about their positions also let go of their worries.

Xiao Buyi said again: "There are three mansions outside the Liang Mansion, and now Xue Huaien, the waiter of the Criminal Department, has decided 736 cases, Wei Yushi and Ximen Shilang have promoted 189 talents, and the Warrior Mansion has also selected more than 3,000 warriors, all of whom are not bad in martial arts, and one is ten. ”

When the officials heard these figures, they frowned and were excited, frowning because they were afraid that the court would be full of mud legs in the future, but they were excited and thought, Xiao Buyi was resolute and resolute, and this period of time was very promising. When I thought of the word Daxing, I secretly thought that Xiao Buyi did not choose the other halls, but only handled government affairs in the Daxing Palace, and his ambition and ambition were already obvious. You originally felt that Xiao Buyi was still too young, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to convince the public, but I could see that he was sleek and sleek, and he was far-reaching, and he didn't know whether he should be surprised or happy! Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "The squire of the criminal department is out of the ranks. Xue Huaien stood up and said: "Weichen is here." ”

Xiao Buyi said slowly: "Xue Shilang and Zhao Hedong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, have been working hard all night, and 736 unjust cases have been tried, but all the cases have not yet been decided, and now it should be time to make a decision." ”

Xue Huaien said respectfully: "Back to the King of Xiliang, it is true. ”

Xiao Buyi changed from the Duke of Liang to the King of Western Liang, and Xue Huaien was meticulous in handling the case, and the same is true for the title. But he was worried in his heart, and he hesitated to speak out for a while.

Xiao Buyi took out a short sword from his arms, stretched out his hand, and with a wave of his hand, it had already fallen to Xue Huaien's feet.

I only heard a 'snort', and the short sword had already sunk into the ground, like cutting tofu. Everyone was stunned, Xue Huaien was stunned, and said unknowingly: "King Xiliang, I don't know if Weichen has done something wrong?" If there is really something wrong, please point it out to the king of Xiliang! ”

He only thought that the king's sword was death, and he was at a loss for a while.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "Until now, this king has not found any fault of Xue Shilang, and I have given you this sword called the Liang King Sword, this sword can behead the royal family and the courtiers!" If you see this sword, as if the king himself comes. Xue Shilang, you say today, hold this sword to judge the case, if there is an official power to oppress, you can ask this sword, if you are not convinced, let him come to argue with me, I don't know if you know the meaning of this king? ”

Xue Huaien was overjoyed, knelt down and said, "King Xie Xiliang!" ”

He has always been worried that it will be difficult to convince the public, and secretly thinks that the people involved in the case also have high-ranking officials, and his own people are humble and light-hearted, if he is framed, not only can he not redress his grievances, but he will go around inside, but he can hear Xiao Buyi give him a sword, and his heart is greatly excited.

The ministers were terrified, they couldn't imagine that Xiao Buyi still had this trick, they looked at each other, and they all had a sense of apprehension.

After Xiao Buyi gave the sword, he looked around at the crowd: "However, this king feels that my criminal law is too harsh, and now there is a hundred wastes waiting to be revived, and the people's hearts are panicking. The crime of killing a person who kills, injuring a person and stealing is punished according to the severity of the circumstances, and the previous harsh laws will be abolished for the time being. ”

Xue Huaien saluted: "King Xiliang forgives and treats people, and the world is blessed." ”

The ministers were originally worried, but when they heard that the punishment had changed, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and said in unison: "The king of Xiliang forgives and treats people, and the world is blessed." ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, "Wei Yushi and Ximen Shilang are out of the ranks." ”

Wei Zheng and Ximen Chucai came out and said: "Weichen is here." ”

Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "I know that the two of you have been working hard recently, just to fill the vacancies of the six departments and twenty-four divisions of the three provinces, the number of officials has suddenly increased by one hundred and eighty-nine, and now the finances of the Eastern Capital are urgent, and the income is beyond their means, and now these officials have been added, I don't know if you have any suggestions for improvement?" ”

Ximen Chucai's head was sweating, and he couldn't speak. Wei Zheng was prepared and said: "Back to the King of Western Liang, Ma Zhou, the provincial secretary of the door, had already foreseen this matter, and he also put forward his opinion. ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, "See you in Xuanma Zhou Jin." ”

Ma Zhou is just a record of the province under the door, naturally there is no chance to go to the Daxing Palace to see Xiao Buyi, this person is still wild, but he finally took the wine gourd, and when he saw Xiao Buyi on top, he gave a deep salute and said: "Liang Guogong ......"

"Be bold, you want to be called the king of Xiliang." Duan Da finally got a place to use it.

Ma Zhou was a little stunned, but Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Lord Duan, those who don't know are not guilty." ”

Duan Da saw Xiao Buyi smiling, and hurriedly smiled, Ma Zhou could only call again: "I don't know why the King of Xiliang summoned Weichen?" ”

Wei Zheng told Xiao Buyi about his inquiry, and Ma Zhou said solemnly: "Actually, this problem is not difficult to solve. ”

The ministers were moved, and Xiao Buyi was quite interested, "I don't know what you have to do?" ”

Ma Zhou Zhengse said: "I want to go to Lin Yuan is very extravagant, but now it has been plundered by bandits several times, and it is almost abandoned. Although there are many officials in the three provinces and six ministries, but the palace is too luxurious, and the personnel are complicated, if the palace maid can be returned home, not only can it be open source and reduce expenditure, but also can be loved by the people of the world. ”

"Bold." Duan Da shouted: "You are doing this kind of ......"

He originally wanted to reprimand him for rebellion, but when he saw Xiao Buyi's gloomy face, he hurriedly changed his words: "This kind of behavior must be approved by the King of Xiliang." ”

Xiao Buyi said in his heart that this kind of behavior is indeed to regard Yang Guang of Yangzhou as nothing, and it is no different from rebellion, and he groaned slightly, Xiao Buyi asked: "I don't know what King Yue suggests?" ”

King Yue frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "If King Xiliang has an order, I will obey it." ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, "In this case, the palace people in the Yue Wang, the Queen Mother and other places should not move for the time being, and the rest of the palaces will report the severance list to reduce expenses, and as for the dismissed personnel, they will be properly settled." And the expenses of this royal palace should also be cut by half, so as to show the thrift of the people of the world. This matter is in charge of Lord Lu, Lieutenant General Dong, and Dugu Lang, and Ma Zhou suggested that there is merit and Lu will be added for one month. ”

Lu Chu and others obeyed the order, and Ma Zhou was also grateful.

Xiao Buyi changed the topic, "I don't know what else you adults have to do?" ”

Only then did the ministers step forward one after another and tell what they had done, Xiao Buyi listened carefully, and ordered Wei Zheng and others to write them down one by one and discuss them slowly. Everything was unhurried, and the ministers were greatly encouraged.

After some trivial matters were finished, Ximen Chucai stepped forward and said: "Qiqi Xiliang King, although there are many of the six books to fill now, but the six Shangshu are all vacant except for the civil Shangshu, and the six are headless, so please ask the King of Xiliang to decide." ”

Ordinary selection of talents is acceptable, Wei Zheng is an imperial history, Ximen Chucai is just a merit test waiter, how dare he call the shots of the six ministers, so he can only ask Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi pondered for a moment, "Since it can't be selected for the time being, why don't you appoint it to me temporarily?" ”

The ministers echoed, "The king of Xiliang knows people well, and he will be able to make the best use of his talents." Although they didn't have a share, they were also curious about how Xiao Buyi would arrange the manpower.

Xiao Buyi groaned slightly, "Master Shangshuwei of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has recently recruited a new army, and it will be increased for half a year, so there is no need to change. Although the Criminal Department lacks the post of Shangshu, it can be temporarily represented by the waiter of the Criminal Department, and after half a year, see its results, and then decide on the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department. ”

Everyone has already heard it clearly, secretly thinking that this squire is actually similar to a book, as long as Xue Huaien is not a big mistake, there must be no doubt that this criminal department book is Xue Huaien!

"As for the Ministry of Industry, Shangshu is temporarily absent, and Liao Kai, who will be the master craftsman, will also serve as the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and will be in charge of the Ministry of Works." Xiao Buyi groaned.

Everyone nodded, secretly thinking that Xiao Buyi still knows people well after all, Liao Kai is going to be a master craftsman, and he is quite familiar with the Ministry of Industry, if he is in charge, it should not be bad.

"The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also asked Lord Yuan of Taifu to serve as a concurrent person, I don't know what Lord Yuan wants?" Xiao Buyi said suddenly.

Yuan Wendu has been silent since he arrived at Daxing Palace, and when he heard that Xiao Buyi suddenly appointed him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he was slightly surprised, stunned for a moment, and then had mixed feelings, I don't know what it was like.

The ministers also looked over, all whispering, secretly thinking that Yuan Wendu and Xiao Buyi were not in harmony, Xiao Buyi actually appointed him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which was really broad-minded, so that many people who had doubts breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"Weichen has the weight of the king of Xiliang, he should do his best and do his best!" Yuan Wendu finally gave a deep salute.

Xiao Buyi nodded, "The secretary of the military department was originally Wei Wensheng, but now he has arrived in Xijing, and Li Jing, the deputy of Taiyuan, attacked Liyang, and made great contributions in the first battle of Kwagang. ”

The ministers looked at each other and were speechless for a long time. But since Li Jing is the deputy of Taiyuan, it is reasonable to concurrently serve as the squire of the military department, but the appointment and dismissal of the personnel in charge of the secretary department is still above Wei Zheng and Ximen Chucai, but I don't know who is in charge?

A sly smile flashed in Xiao Buyi's eyes, "As for the secretary of the ministry, I suggest that Hechi Taishou, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, and Uncle Xiao Yu serve as the positions, I don't know what the adults think?" ”
