Chapter 584: Officialdom is the Battlefield (Part II)

If it weren't for Liao Mingsheng's reminder, Liu Yu would have forgotten that there was still a Ling Xiu'er in Dongning Mansion, who was Ling Daoqi's eldest daughter, and now she is the daughter of a criminal official.

If it were other Confucian officials and great Confucians, some people might have been framed by Liao Mingsheng, but Ling Daoqi's crime was the same fact. Liu Yuzhi and Ling Daoqi were related to Su Zhe, the king of Chu. The enemy's relatives are enemies to Liu Yu, although it is not enough to cause trouble to his wife and children, but Liu Yu also regards Ling Xiuer as an enemy.

She is not only an enemy, but also a very beautiful woman, and for Liu Yu, these are enough.

Liu Yu was silent for a while, and only after a while did he glance at Liao Mingsheng and said, "This matter is up to you to arrange." ”

Liao Mingsheng knew that Liu Yue was satisfied with his arrangement, and with a relieved look on his face, he said that he would get things done well, and retreated.

Liu Yu looked at the sky, the afternoon was only more than halfway through, and if he wanted to rest for a while, he really couldn't sleep. The two-day rush was nothing compared to the long-distance trip in the grassland or Lingnan, and he was still in good spirits.

There is still some time before the arrival of the night, and Liu Yue has nothing to do, so he will go to Dongning Mansion to take a walk and learn about the local people's livelihood.

This is not the first time Liu Yu has walked on the streets of Dongning Mansion, and the last time he came, Liu Yu also visited Dongning Mansion at night. This time, it was a blue sky and a white day, and the liveliness of Dongning Mansion was not as lively as before.

The political chaos in Huaibei Province will spread from the government to the people, and the government will be watching the power struggle this time, so there will be negligence in many local affairs, which will indirectly affect local stability. In such a situation, there are more bandits in the local area, and no one regulates prices. The market was originally a primitive market that was almost bartered. Can't stand such a toss. Hence the depression.

Liu Yu walked around the streets with his guards, feeling a kind of desolate helplessness, he also felt that he had to end this power struggle quickly and let the people of Huaibei Province calm down. This is in line with the national policy of the imperial court to recuperate.

Liu Yu walked for a while, so he didn't want to go, there was really nothing to see, so he said to Qu Zhu: "Old Qu, you go buy some things and come back." I would like to try a local souvenir, so I will ask how the prices are, summarize them, and present them to me. ”

Qu Zhu understood Liu Yu's intention, which was to let him, the Minister of Intelligence, spy on the people's livelihood, so he took the order.

Liu Yu returned to the palace, and happened to meet Liao Mingsheng with a few small officials, and when he saw Liu Yu, Liao Mingsheng hurriedly saluted and introduced Liu Yu to the following officials.

Liu Yu looked at a few insignificant officials. It is guessed that it should be Liao Mingsheng's old subordinates, and now they are brought in to seek political capital for him. And since Liao Mingsheng will bring them here. It must be that he wants to promote these people.

Liu Yu casually said a few perfunctory words and asked Liao Mingsheng to enter with him alone, Liao Mingsheng first flattered and said a lot of compliments, but Liu Yu didn't listen to a word.

"Mingsheng, remind you, you will soon go to Chang'an City, this king uses you as a person, not for you to form a gang. You have to understand that forming a party is not necessary in the court......"

Liao Mingsheng was shocked, originally he thought that bringing a few officials over would be praised by Liu Yu, and it would make Liu Yu feel that he was looking for more people to help, but he didn't expect Liu Yu to come up and warn him to restrain the gang.

"Xia Guan understands that these people ...... They were all brought in by the lower officials to help deal with this case...... Lord Wang, you also know that the lower officials are weak and need some helpers. When it's done, they'll still do what they did......"

Liu Yu waved his hand and said: "Then don't be too harsh, those who have contributed to the court, this king will also remember their merits, and after the matter is over, he will ask for rewards and give them the rewards they deserve......"

Liu Yu first stuffed Liao Mingsheng with a stick, and then gave a sweet jujube, which made Liao Mingsheng breathe a sigh of relief. Although he really wanted to bring a group of people into Chang'an City to help him find things, but now Liu Yue didn't want to, and he didn't dare to mention it again, and now Liu Yue promised to ask for rewards for his merits, so that the group of people he found was promoted, and he had an explanation for him, and he also had an explanation for those people. In his mind, even if he could use them, he would gradually find an opportunity to promote them to Beijing officials in the future.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but if his tree has no branches and leaves, it is not a big tree with a trunk alone.

"Thank you for promoting ......"

Liu Yu nodded, and by the way, asked Liao Mingsheng to hand over the list of some local officials. Liao Mingsheng hesitated again, for a person who is very good at guessing people's minds, his control of Liu Yu's mind is not very good, and sometimes he doesn't understand what Liu Yu does.

"Lord Wang, this magistrate...... It doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the lower officials, you ......"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Haven't you summarized who they are?" ”

What Liu Yu said directly poked Liao Mingsheng's weakness, in fact, Liao Mingsheng had to climb up before, and he knew everything about the officialdom in Huaibei Province, and he had to inquire about any changes in officialdom and then make a record.

Liao Mingsheng didn't defend himself, and said, "Xiaguan is preparing for you, the prince......

Soon, Liao Mingsheng handed over the booklet of Huaibei's officialdom contacts and connections to Liu Yu, Liu Yu saw this booklet, and immediately thought of the book of 100 officials that Han Sheng gave him, the record can be said to be too detailed, and even the preferences of officials and family members are recorded very clearly, which is a very painstaking thing.

In the past, Han Sheng was the director of the intelligence bureau of the imperial court, and there were many people under him, so it was not difficult to investigate these, but Liao Mingsheng was just a county lieutenant, a sesame official, and he didn't have much manpower and material resources, so he would investigate the matter in such detail, which shows his ability. It's just that sometimes this ability is not used on the right path.

Liu Yu also took a detailed look at it, on Liao Mingsheng's official list, many officials who had a festival with him honestly, but not all of them would be brought down by him, as for whether he didn't pull it or said that he couldn't find evidence, Liu Yu didn't know, there were many flatterers who belonged to the "same kind of people" with Liao Mingsheng, but they were imprisoned by Liao Mingsheng, and they also implicated a lot of "fellow parties". This surprised Liu Yu.

Liu Yu took a hasty look at it, closed the booklet and said: "This time, the Huaibei officialdom has undergone a big change, there are many vacancies, this king will transfer a group of officials from Chang'an City, and he will also promote a group of people in the local area." Mingsheng, do you have any suggestions? ”

Liu Yu asked about officialdom, but this time Liao Mingsheng understood Liu Yu's thoughts very well, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan, there is no suggestion." If the prince wants to use someone, the lower officials just need to cooperate. ”

Liu Yu nodded slightly, in fact, Liu Yu was also using this method to remind Liao Mingsheng, don't worry about your other affairs, if you interfere with something you shouldn't do, you are asking for hardship.

Liu Yu got up and said, "It's not too early, Mingsheng, you take me to meet Miss Ling......"

Liao Mingsheng hurriedly led the way for Liu Yu and said, "Lord Wang, please ...... here" (to be continued......)
