Chapter 520: If you are not afraid of being a small official, you must be bold
The officialdom of Huaibei Province has more or less some connection with Yu Hui, even if there is no contact on weekdays, colleagues or Confucian officials will also have a sense of sympathy for each other. Liu Yue didn't like to talk nonsense with this Li Ying, and in his heart, Liu Yue classified Li Ying as a class of people.
Liu Yu estimated that Xiazhou was not far from Dongning Mansion, and the officials in Xiazhou could basically rush to Dongning Mansion before dark, and Liu Yue felt very tired when he thought about dealing with these people. The best way to do it is to cut through the mess quickly, Liu Yu is also prepared, whoever pleads for the Confucian official will find out whom!
This time the Son of Heaven went on patrol, Luan drove very few civil officials with him, and there was a rebellion in the imperial court before, and many departments did not replenish the official vacancies after Liu Yu cleaned the officialdom of Chang'an City, which made the number of civil officials in the Dashun Dynasty fall to a record low. This time, the officials brought by Liu Yu were basically not officials of the real power departments, and most of them were officials from the household department and the local administration, and there were no officials who were good at prison.
Liu Yu thought about it for a while, and now it is suitable to preside over the case of Niu Lu and Ling Hui's collusion and rebellion, and only Liao Mingsheng, who is eager to take the position, is the most suitable.
Liao Mingsheng has no friendship with the two, and even said that he has a grudge, which is not only clear to Liu Yue, but also to Liao Mingsheng himself. In this context, Liu Yu sent him to try the case, then he would "acquaintance" and make things bigger, the more a vine is implicated, the more people will be investigated, this is Liu Yu's purpose. Because only in this way can Su Zhe's power in the officialdom of Huaibei Province be dismantled. And sending others to take charge will either show mercy to the Confucian officials, or they will hold the cautious attitude of the officials and refuse to expand the scope of the matter to investigate.
Thinking about this clearly, Liu Yu immediately asked Lian Husheng to pass Liao Mingsheng to the palace.
When Lian Hu comes back. Liao Mingsheng followed behind him very carefully. Liu Yue looked at Lian Husheng's attitude and understood that he lacked a good impression of Liao Mingsheng, who was like a villain. And before that, he scolded Liao Mingsheng again. Unconsciously, the two of them have already formed a relationship, which also brings a lot of trouble to Lian Hu after his birthday.
"I've sent everyone back, but what other orders does Chitose have?" Liao Mingsheng asked Liu Yu cautiously.
"Mingsheng is here." Liu Yu politely pointed to the chair on the side, Liao Mingsheng looked at the chair, but his body did not move, "You and I don't have to be polite, in the future, this king will call you by your name." You can be commensurate with this king, this Chitose Chitose doesn't sound very pleasant. ”
Liao Mingsheng was very sensible, and immediately nodded and smiled and said, "Lord Wang." ”
"That's it, sit."
Liao Mingsheng no longer dodged, and sat directly on the chair, but the whole person still looked very restrained.
"Mingsheng is good at prison matters?" Liu Yu asked suddenly.
Liao Mingsheng pondered Liu Yu's purpose, and said: "Back to the prince, as a local governor, he naturally does not dare to slack off in the affairs of the prison under his jurisdiction. The prince has a tricky case to investigate? ”
"It's the rebellion that happened yesterday."
Liao Mingsheng's body was shocked, and the teacup that he had barely picked up was almost unstable. It's not that he's not courageous. It's just that this case involves a lot of things, and Liu Yue's motive for pursuing this case is not very clear. And he himself is just a seven-grade sesame mung bean official, thinking that Liu Yu would let him help do some things to eat, drink and have fun, but he didn't expect that Liu Yu would have a "big test" for him as soon as he came up.
"I am afraid that it is difficult to take on this heavy responsibility...... The prince still sent another more talented person to handle this matter. Liao Mingsheng stood up and bowed as if in a tone of resignation.
Liu Yue knew that Liao Mingsheng definitely didn't want to shirk in his heart, and even wanted to prove himself.
"What Mingsheng said about this king is not unconsidered, but there is no trustworthy minister around this king, don't you want to worry about this king?"
Liao Mingsheng said: "But ......"
"This king knows what you are worried about, you are a donor official, and you don't have any good opportunities, and you are only a seven-grade minor official now. And the officials involved in this case are often second- and third-grade, and even first-class officials who used to be in the court, if you want to investigate, many of the people below must be unconvinced. However, the matter of punishment and prison is important in abiding by the law, the law is greater than the mountain, and the military order is like a mountain. This website gives you the authority to investigate the case, and it is decided to let you investigate thoroughly, no matter who you find involved in the case, even if he is a former prince and general, you just have to follow the law and close the case. ”
Liao Mingsheng was a little excited in his heart, what Liu Yu said was really indescribable allure for a person who was eager to get to the top and ambitious. What Liu Yu mentioned is a great power, even the princes and generals let him check casually, even those first-class officials in the court, including the criminal department, Shangshu, the Imperial Palace, and the imperial history, do not have such power, and Liu Yu gave him such power, that is, he saw that he did not have his own power in the court, and he could do things without caring about the consequences, although the result of doing things may offend a large number of people, but as long as it is in line with Liu Yu's regent's intentions, then he is equivalent to stepping into the dragon gate with half a foot.
Liao Mingsheng knelt on the ground at the moment, kowtowed, and said: "I am willing to share the worries of the prince, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!" ”
Liu Yue nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Just do it well, as for going to the soup or something, you can't do anything, you should be careful to avoid danger, you check other people's old backgrounds, others will naturally treat you as an enemy who killed your father, and this king doesn't want to hurt you because of this." ”
Liao Mingsheng raised his head and said with a smile: "What the prince said is very true. ”
"Mingsheng, you get up first, and in a while, the king will ask the people below to hand over all the files, testimonies, and testimonies of this case to you." Liu Yu seemed to finish the matter very happily, and suddenly leaned his head closer to Liao Mingsheng, pointed at Liao Mingsheng with a cold face, and said in a tone of command and coercion, "Remember, what this king wants is solid evidence, not a trick to frame him!" ”
After Liao Mingsheng's surprise and excitement for a moment, his attitude became a little more cautious, and he replied respectfully: "I know how to do it." ”
"This king will leave Dongning Mansion tomorrow, and then he will leave you with manpower, and fully cooperate with you to investigate this matter, and the holy decree appointing you as the investigation of the case will be given to you, and you have the power to cut first and then play, but don't use it lightly. As for the officialdom of Huaibei Province, or the high-ranking officials in the capital to put pressure on you, you don't need to pay attention to it, remember, as long as you are responsible for the king alone, you are responsible for the Great Shun Dynasty. After the deed is done, this king will never treat you badly. ”
When Liu Yu said this, Liao Mingsheng suddenly felt his blood boiling, he didn't expect that he could exchange a white jade bowl for Liu Yu's trust. Hurriedly bowed and thanked him, Liu Yu didn't say anything more, but reminded him with two words before sending Luan out of the city: "King Chu." ”
Liu Yu didn't say these two words until the last day, and Liao Mingsheng certainly understood that the stakes were high. Liu Yu put so much thought into it, and even risked the instability of Huaibei Province to investigate the case, in the final analysis, it was for the king of Chu. And the matter of the king of Chu has also spread among the people, many people say that Liu Yue is usurping the throne of Chu and standing on his own, as for whether it is true or false, he Liao Mingsheng can not verify, but Liu Yu's words also show that the king of Chu is secretly fighting against Liu Yu, as long as he can help Liu Yu relieve this big trouble, then he is the biggest hero of Liu Yu's dynasty.
…………
Liu Yu first sent his daughters out of the city and settled at a post station twenty miles south of the city, mainly because Liu Yue thought that there were too many things in the city, and he didn't have time to take care of both sides, so it was better to let Luan Jia leave the place first, and he would also go south tomorrow to complete the last battle of his mission.
Shortly after sending Luan out of the city, Liu Ding, who was in charge of going to Xiazhou to get people, fell back and returned to recover his life, and at the same time escorted Yu Hui and others involved in the case back from Xiazhou.
Liu Ding got off the horse and reported the situation of taking the person first, and then said with a worried face: "Father, my lordship, seems to be very dissatisfied with your arrangement of the twelfth brother. ”
Liu Yu pursed his lips, not caring too much about Liu Zhao, who was driving for Tianzi Luan a hundred miles away. Before the incident, in order to paralyze Niu Lu, Liu Yu transferred Liu Zhao to "open the way" in advance, and Liu Yu himself was afraid that his stubborn father would hinder his plan, until Liu Zhao walked nearly two hundred miles in a hurry, only to know that Liu Yu sent him out of Lu Dao was just a pretense, and the anger in Liu Zhao's heart can be imagined, although Liu Yu is now the regent, he can't swallow the breath of being used by his son.
"Old father, I'll go back and say, Seventh brother, you escort the prisoners into the city first." Liu Yu said, "After that, Seventh Brother will stay in Dongning Mansion, and you may have to run on both sides of Dongning Mansion and Xiazhou City, and fully assist one person to investigate this case." ”
Liu Ding was surprised: "I don't have to go south with Luan? ”
Liu Yu said: "The investigation of the case is also very important, Seventh Brother, don't slack off." This Huaibei province is full of dangers, maybe there will be a group of people around you who will come to ask for your life. ”
Liu Ding swallowed, he was a martial artist, and he couldn't fully understand what Liu Yu meant, but Liu Yue's cautious appearance already made him feel that he had a heavy responsibility. Liu Yu didn't look for others to ask him for help, just because he saw him as "his own family". Liu Ding also knew that in addition to his relationship with Liu Yu and Liu Zhao, he had no ability and could not be of great use.
After sending off the Son of Heaven Luan, Liu Yu returned to the city and it was already sunset, and the inside and outside of the palace were bright. Dongning Mansion also seems to have changed from the second largest city in Huaibei Province to a huge prison, in Dongning Mansion, there are hundreds of "criminals" implicated in the case, and this year's rebellion cases are all to raid the family and exterminate the clan, which means that maybe in the next day's Dongning Mansion, there will be thousands of more lonely souls and wild ghosts.
Liu Yu did not leave Dongning Mansion in a hurry, just to have a basic explanation of the case before going south, so that Liao Mingsheng and other people who cooperated in the investigation knew the priority of some details in the investigation.
Later, the dignitaries of Huaibei Province who came from Xiazhou all entered the city, and the highest governor of Santai also learned that Luanjia, the son of heaven of Lu Dao, had left Dongning Mansion after entering the city, and at this time the entire Dongning Mansion was in charge of Liu Yu, the king of Lin.
