“.......”

Liu Yu looked at the young man in front of him who inexplicably involved the topic of cured mutton again, and couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart.

This guy in front of me is really good at everything, but it's... has a chatter and gluttony, which makes him feel helpless... This young man, whom he called "Jing'an", was a young man he had only recently taken a look at.

Speaking of which, Liu Yu really didn't lie to him just now, because the relationship between this young man's father and Liu Yu back then was really good. When it comes to the fate of these two families, we have to talk about their official path back then.

Since ancient times, the road to becoming an official is not the same as that of ordinary people, compared to them, ordinary people who want to be officials need ten years.

It takes hard work, every opportunity, and finally thousands of troops rushing across a single-plank bridge into the slaughterhouse of the imperial examination. This eunuch family has had a path of grace since ancient times.

The first emperor Liu Xie was originally in order to appease the officials around him, and also to win over some people and some forces.

So there are some rules, and that includes the grace of the shade.

The first is to follow Chen Qun's method of nine products of righteousness and set up nine official positions in the court, but do not want their recommendation.

As long as the five grades are above and above, at least one of your own children and nephews or the young people you like can enter the officialdom every year to prepare.

In the words of the first emperor Liu Xie, the children of these eunuchs above the fifth grade were actually already organized as soon as they were born.

After all, this year is at least one, and there are five places in a year.

Moreover, this emperor's birthday, Dan Day, winter festival and other major festivals, as well as favored concubines giving birth to princes and princesses, etc., there will be quotas. In other words, even if it is a fifth-grade official who has entered the threshold, he will have at least four or five opportunities to recommend his own people in a single year.

And then... If the family is thin, there will be various relationships to intercede, asking for a place for their offspring.. Therefore, as long as the children of the officials in the court want to, they will not worry about not having an official to do it.

If they are available, they can be reused, and if they are not available, they will naturally not be allowed to go out and harm one party, and give them a yamen to stay in it by themselves.

It's better to be in the capital than to let them walk around the sky, which is also a way.

A few decades ago, Liu Yu, who was still young, was actually a standard official eunuch, but unlike others. Liu Yu did not wait for his career to come to him with peace of mind.

But after getting Enyin, he went all the way to the recommendation and assessment with his family behind his back, and fought all the way to become the same batch of candidates as the young man's father Guo Yi.

Of course, at that time his father... There is no longer any official position, and it can be regarded as a second entry.

At that time, Liu Yu and Guo Yi were the sons of officials who were arrogant but not arrogant, and they looked forward to serving the country and the people in the future as a good official who was unparalleled in the world.

The other is that after years of hard study, fighting for his life to get to this point, and experiencing several ups and downs, his greatest wish is to be able to return to his hometown so that his hometown parents can heartily celebrate him.

From now on, you can bring your children and grandchildren and family members across classes.

But... Decades have passed, and the two young people have also gone to completely different places.

Liu Yugui was Jing Zhaoyin, an important minister of the Han Dynasty, in charge of important affairs in Kyoto, and even had the right to impeach hundreds of officials.

But now his arrogance has become sleek and sensible, he is a well-known good gentleman in the court, and he is the minister of His Majesty's humerus.

And Guo Yi, who was thinking about the glory of his ancestors, finally got to the position of the county magistrate of Qi County after so many years.

The identity he used to be proud of had become the last thing he dared to mention at that time, and everyone was because of this identity.

I wish he was going to die far away.

—An inconspicuous county order, a county seat that is extremely poor, and a petty official who may not be able to return to his hometown for the rest of his life.

And over the years, he has had countless opportunities, but he refused to search for people's fat and ointment to open his career path.

Second, he refused to look for his former best friend, and now Liu Yu, who is a major minister of the Han Dynasty, Jing Zhaoyin, said something for him.

That's it, year after year......

And Guo Yi's son, this greedy but talkative young man Guo Chang, is familiar with the law, and under his incomparably out-of-the-box character, there is actually this nature that would rather not bend.

This time to participate in the imperial examination, although he has not yet gotten any results, in fact, this Liu Yu has already gotten the news.

This guy's results are quite good, and after a few days, the list will be released, although it has nothing to do with the top few, but it is definitely a midstream and top level.

On top of that, this guy has been targeted by the Imperial Tower.

The previous old Tingwei of the Tingwei Mansion, who is also the imperial historian Ji Yan who is now retired at home, is said to have personally taken his test paper in his hand and carefully observed it, and then scolded the group of officials from the Yushitai around him for a full hour and a half.

said that this group of officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory is not as good as such a kid who has not entered the officialdom, and has his own opinions and persistence...

Of course, what are the consequences of these words, Liu Yu is not easy to make any conclusions now.

But he knows that it's okay for this kid to go anywhere, but just don't go to the Imperial Historical Observatory, and whether he can still walk out of the Imperial Historical Observatory alive after going is two words.

Looking at the young man with a vibrant face today, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh after thinking about it for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly.

"Jing'an, your personality is a little too out-of-the-box.

Although the old man knows that you have some opinions about the old man, the old man doesn't care..."

"It doesn't matter, if Duke Liu cares, let my father treat him as if he hadn't given birth to a boy, anyway, the boy has always made my father angry

It doesn't look like a filial son.

I just hope that Gong Liu won't be angry with his father..."

"That's it!" Liu Yu chose to directly interrupt this guy's words this time, looking at Guo Chang is face helpless, "Is the old man such an unreasonable person?"

As for you... You've got a good result.

It's just that do you want to enter the Imperial Governor's Mansion or do you want to enter this Imperial Historical Observatory?"

"Hmm... After Guo Chang heard Liu Yu's words, he didn't feel surprised, but directly showed a strange look on his face.

Then after muttering for a long time, he said something to Liu Yu that made him breathe a lot.

"Now we are officials.... Is it all so casual?

Although the boy thinks that he does have some opinions on the law, but... This Imperial Governor's Mansion and the Imperial Historical Tower, is it said that you can enter?

Or is Liu Gong planning to stand up for the kid?"

"You're right!" Liu Yu looked at Guo Chang in front of him at this time and chuckled directly, "If you are someone else, even if you have a good score in the imperial examination."

If you don't have a good life to train you for a few years or even more than ten years, I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity.

But.... If the old man speaks.... Hahaha...."

"Boy, thank you Liu Gong for your kindness, but boy... There is no habit of recognizing godfathers! ”

“.....”

Liu Yu looked at Guo Chang in front of him at this time, and really couldn't understand how his friend Guo Yi, who did things with a clear eye, was able to give birth to such a son with such a out-of-the-box thinking!

The extremes of things must be reversed, right?

Although I was speechless in my heart, I still had to do what I had to do.

"Boy, I'm afraid you misunderstood the old man.

Although the old man has only one younger brother, he is a harmonious brother, and he is not worried that no one will give the old man a pension!

There is no room for anyone else.

As for you... The old man is just because you are Guo Yi's descendant, and you miss a little bit of the love of the year, and the rest... The old man has no plans! ”

"....." Guo Chang looked at Jing Zhaoyin, a great minister of the Han Dynasty in front of him, and after a moment of hesitation, he still didn't say anything.

Just looking at his face, it was full of three words of distrust.

Seeing this junior like this, Liu Yu seemed to understand that the other party didn't want to have too much intersection with him, so after a short silence.

In the end, he waved his hand helplessly.

"That's it... Since you don't want to say anything more to the old man, the old man can't force it.

It's just that... As half of your elders, the old man still has to remind you.

You have good skills, and your talent is acceptable, but in this Kyoto, you can't rely on your skills to run rampant.

Your character is too jumpy, although you seem to be frivolous, you are upright in your heart, and you can't rub sand in your eyes.

In the future, I am afraid that there will be many tribulations in Kyoto.

Yourself... Think about it! ”

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he waved his hand directly here, and then asked the little guy to send him away directly.

And Guo Chang, who was brought over inexplicably, was sent back again, and the whole process seemed to be that he talked a lot to this Liu Yu. But it seems that nothing has been said.

Although Guo Chang also felt that this matter was not so simple, at this time, he still couldn't see what Liu Yu's purpose was.

He could only bow his head and bend down, and after saying goodbye to Liu Yu, he followed the person who brought him to leave.

It's just that what he didn't know was that after he left, this Liu Yu called someone over casually again.

"You go and arrange it, get some of the cured mutton in the Chunjiao Hutong and send it to Guo Chang, since he wants to eat it, let the old man's nephew eat it.

It also saves some people in the future that the old man does not take care of the younger generation. ”

"No!"

And Liu Yu, who had done all this, looked at the subordinates who also left quickly, and couldn't help but have a sneer on his face.

"Guo Yi, Guo Yi, I hope you don't blame the old man for being too cruel to your son in the future.

But the old man is also for your own good, after all.... This huge Kyoto is really not a place where your son can stay.

Your Liu family finally has the second generation of people who can enter the officialdom, old man... The old man couldn't watch him take his own life like this.

Ay... Old man... Old man, this is all for you! ”

While talking to himself, this Liu Yu couldn't help but shed a few muddy tears, and he could see that the faces of the people around him were constantly beating.

This Guo Chang is young and inexperienced, and he can't see this Liu Yu's methods.

But these people have not only served as officials in Kyoto for many years, but they have also followed Liu Yu for many years, which one is not a real human spirit.

As far as Liu Yu's actions just now, those words are actually not important.

The important thing is that this time I came and went, and a meal of cured mutton confirmed that this kid has something to do with Liu Yu, Jing Zhaoyin.

In Kyoto, being able to cling to this Jing Zhaoyin is naturally something that is enough to be envied. But that also depends on where his Guo Chang's path is.

Liu Yu said just now, this kid is upright, he seems to be proficient in the law, and he wants to come to this imperial examination to give priority to the law.

But in this Kyoto, what can be hung in the criminal law is the Imperial Historical Tower, the Imperial Governor's Mansion and their Jing Zhaoyin.

After all, he didn't have much interest in the place of the magistrate's house, and people didn't want him.

This Yushitai is a high-ranking family, don't look at the Yushitai's imperial history, Cheng is the third grade, but the family is a serious high-ranking family, and I heard that the old Shangshu has only scolded his mother in the Yushitai Yamen in the past few days.

This kid... I can't get in.

And Jing Zhaoyin has no intention of recruiting people this year, and the imperial court does not seem to have this intention.

Then the only possibility is the Tingwei Mansion, but who in this capital doesn't know that the Tingwei Mansion and their Jing Zhaoyin are now about to become incompatible. Jing Zhao Yin and Ting Wei Fu Qing had just staged an all-out military march in the DPRK and China two days ago, and finally ended in a complete victory for their Jing Zhao Yin.

At this time, a young man who had an inexplicable relationship with Jing Zhaoyin was sent to the Tingwei Mansion....

That Xun Yu is the Shaoqing of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, he has the ability to have a relationship, and he is also a normal transfer, which is fine.

That son's family is the active person of the Tingwei Mansion, and behind him is Jing Zhaoyin himself, and there are countless foxes and dogs in his many years of life... Protected by close friends.

That's fine, too.

But although he is from a wealthy family, he is equivalent to a junior who has no background and has no power in his family.

After all, his ancestors are even more arrogant than the kid of the Guo family, and they are direct descendants of Xun Yu.

But bar... is the so-called success and defeat, and now Xun Yu's descendants are probably not as popular as Jian Yong's descendants.

After all, Xun Yu didn't cause trouble for their first emperor back then, and now they still have their descendants, which is already very good.

Even... The end result has already been guessed by this group.

There is no need for such an insecurity in Kyoto, so after hanging up an idle job, send it directly outside, the more bitter cold the place, the better.

Like what... Now in the northwest on the cusp of the storm....

"Tut-tut... We're looking for a helper for our son, and I don't know what kind of mood Guo Chang will be in when he reacts?"

"Who knows, but it's better not to say this lately.

Just because our second son was sent to the northwest, our family is very angry. Don't bump into it at this time, you won't have good fruit to eat at that time! “

"Hey, I'm not stupid, I heard that the Tingwei Mansion's eyes are still swollen.

At this time, I'm..."

"Ahem, cough, cough..." Just as a group of people were whispering, a light cough sound appeared from Liu Yu's mouth, and everyone immediately closed their mouths.

At the same time, it also made everyone's waist pole straighten in this instant.

"Let's go, follow me to the prison for a walk, I heard that an old soldier from the northwest recently committed a crime and was sent to the capital? It just so happened that there was nothing to do today, and the official personally went to interrogate him.

Go and ask him, how did an old soldier who has been fighting for my Han for many years come to this point. This Northwest.... It's getting more and more excessive! ”

After snorting coldly, Liu Yu raised his legs again and left, this time his goal was equally clear.

In Jing Zhaoyin's prison, Sun Desheng, who was the guard of the prison, immediately ran out when he heard the movement.

That flattering look is in great contrast with the name called impermanence in this prison. "Master, how can this time come to our filthy land.

If there is a person who needs to be arraigned, the master only needs to let people know, and the villain will send the person to the master.

This place of misunderstanding is dirty, but don't dirty the surface of your feet. ”

Sun Desheng, who had a slight northern accent, flattered Jingzhao Yin and Liu Yu in front of him with a flattering smile on his face.

On the other side, he directly took off his robe that he regarded as a treasure and threw it on the ground in front of Liu Yu.

It's just because there's a lump of sludge here, and Sun Desheng is afraid that this Liu Yuyi has a big heart for his shoes.

Seeing Sun Desheng like this, Liu Yu didn't feel anything wrong, and of course he didn't feel how proud he was because of this.

There is no superfluous expression on the face, and the movements have not changed at all, even looking.. Didn't even look at him more.

It's just that after stepping on the outer robe, he asked in a somewhat lukewarm tone.

"What about the old pawn sent from the northwest, didn't he say that this guy is a thorn? Have you cleaned it up?"

"What I said is that the old guy is indeed a thorn, but... Hey hey ....."

Listening to the embarrassed little expression, this Liu Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised. "How... Listen to you... It seems that he didn't make a move on the old pawn?

Could it be that you, Sun Desheng, also have compassion?

If so..... You're a little sorry for your impermanent name, and you'll be despised by the people in this prison when the time comes. ”

"If someone dares to despise a certain family, then such a family will not see anything in his life."

Liu Yu said such "teasing" words with a slight smile at this time, but Sun Desheng couldn't help but lower his head even more seriously.

"Master.."

"Why, you have made this hot hand impermanence in Jing Zhaoyin's prison so soft-hearted, looking at that old guy like this, it seems that there is really some merit.

Let's go... Let the officer go and see him.

Go and see what kind of person you are, so that you Sun Desheng can't help but soften! ”

In Liu Yu's cold snort, the group also walked towards the depths of Jing Zhaoyin's prison, which was also the prison of the people from the northwest.

There were countless prisoners in the prisons along the way, and when they saw this Jing Zhaoyin, they immediately became excited.

Some seized the opportunity to constantly beg and even tell their grievances, and some were frantically reprimanding and insulting.

What's more, even if Liu Yu didn't set his eyes on them, when Liu Yu walked past them, they were still scared and trembling...

When the long corridor was about to come to an end, a prison with the same stench and countless filth appeared in the eyes of everyone.

At the same time, several prisoners in it also looked at these people in front of them with different expressions.

"This is Jing Zhaoyin, my big man, I have come to extract the prisoner Su Da today, get out of the way quickly, don't get into any trouble!" When everyone stopped, Sun Desheng, the cell leader in this prison, also appeared directly in front of everyone.

With a deep voice, the prisoners with different expressions immediately obediently let go of the road in front of them, and they were honest to the extreme.

That's like a good baby.

From their attitude, they can also make people feel that since Liu Yu can sit firmly in the position of Jing Zhaoyin, it means... There are still a lot of capable people around him.

The door of the prison was directly opened, and an old man with a very old face, a somewhat thin body, and even a dirty body was brought out by Sun Desheng himself.

The old man still seemed to have a bit of an atmosphere when he walked, but his body was already rickety.

The emaciated figure, coupled with the back that has been completely bent, looks full of decadence, as if it will die directly in a short time.

"He's the old man from the northwest? What did you do in the first place?"

"If you go back to your grandfather, this case file says that this person was the capital of the Yangguan garrison army in Liangzhou, and he had to quit the military due to the recurrence of old injuries and his old age and frailty, so he returned to his hometown to work as a farmer.

This man once saw a little beggar on the road, and from then on he took the beggar under his knee and raised it. Originally, this pair of "father and son" lived a stable life.

But who would have thought that the little beggar would grow up to be a tyrannical character, who would accidentally beat people to death under the brawl.

And this old guy in order not to let his own child... He buried the body in a place to find it, and then fled directly with the little beggar who had grown up.

Shunchang County, Yongzhou, was in charge of this matter, and launched a search order for the little beggar who fled.

The second is to take down this old pawn, one of the crimes is to bury the body, and the other is to help the culprit escape.

Therefore...""

"Together, these two things are just years in prison and a little servitude.

At most, it's just a fine plus a thorn face, he can't even be exiled, what is he doing in the capital? Are you waiting for the autumn queen to make a decision?"

As Jing Zhaoyin, Liu Yu is naturally also a person who is familiar with the law, and he naturally has a little understanding of this sin in his heart, knowing that this sin will never send people to the capital.

That's the treatment that only people who are waiting to be beheaded, just this old guy.... He's not even close!

But the next moment, the old man Sun Desheng whispered to him with a somewhat embarrassed tone. "Master is proficient in my Han law, this is naturally true.

Can... But the last thing that Shunchang County gave was to escort him to the capital, and then wait for the beheading."

After Sun Desheng finished speaking, he also looked directly at a certain young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion behind Liu Yu, and there was a little shaking in his eyes. It seems that there is something I want to say, but it is inconvenient.

However, this little action naturally couldn't be hidden from Liu Yu, I saw that after he looked at the silent old man in front of him and didn't say a word, he looked behind him again.

In the end, he couldn't help but touch the corners of his mouth, and then showed a sneer.

"This bit of was sent directly to Kyoto from the northwest, just to behead him.... That's really interesting. Anyway, whose eldest young master is this dead?"

"According to the old pawn, it is the son of Tang Qitang Huaien in Changli County..."

"Hehehe...."

At this time, Liu Tao couldn't help but sneer, and his slightly narrowed old eyes were full of mockery.

It can be seen that this Liu Tao is really very familiar with such a situation and understands it very well.

After many years of Jing Zhaoyin's career, he already knows everything about this.

If the son of an ordinary family is beaten to death, even if it is the consequence of killing to pay for his life, an accomplice will not really be affected to the fate of being sent to the capital to wait for beheading.

Being able to increase the guilt to this point, it seems that this has definitely reached a certain point, and even to the point that it makes Liu Tao feel a little excessive.

But even so, Liu Tao didn't say anything to the old guy in front of him, this old pawn.

After all.... To each his own life!

If you offend someone who can't afford to offend, when you do this kind of thing, you must be ready to meet the price.

It's unfair, of course, but it's also a kind of deformed horror of fairness.

Fairness that doesn't belong to them!

"Hmm.... A retired old pawn, and the placement of veteran pawns in the northwest has always been a problem in recent years.

I'm afraid that even if you retire due to injury, you won't get anything real. ”

Liu Tao looked at the old pawn in front of him, and did not immediately ask him about the case and the reason for the killing.

Instead, he said this sentence directly, that is, this sentence directly made the old soldier who was ready to die suddenly change color.

Then he looked at Liu Tao in front of him with a thick sense of disbelief.

"This... This..."

"This is my Jingzhao Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Tao, Liu Lingyin!"

Sun Desheng, the cell boss on the side, immediately spoke, and it was a reprimand and a reminder. Let the old pawn quickly come back to his senses, and then continue to bow slightly towards Liu Tao.

"This Ling Yin, what did you just say?"

"Didn't you already hear it, this official said that the placement of your old soldiers in the northwest has always been a big problem for the imperial court over the years.

Although you are a Dubo, you have not entered the ranks of generals, and looking at your appearance, it seems that you are not a person who is good at drilling.

Fear... It's not going to be a good time after you leave the army, aren't you?"

Liu Tao said these words lightly, as if he was talking about ordinary ordinary things.

But.. These words fell into the ears of the old pawn, but they rumbled in his ears as if they had directly turned into thunder. Even.... Let the old pawn look of disbelief all over his face.

"You know... You all know... Hahahaha... You all know..."

The old pawn seemed to be stimulated by this sentence, and the whole person became a little crazy.

From the bitterness at the beginning, to the roar at the end, and even the crazy roar.

Until the end, he let out a heartfelt angry scolding towards the Jing Zhaoyin in front of him.

"You dog officials in Kyoto, take pity on us and other soldiers who fought for the imperial court, we even thought... We thought you didn't know anything about the Northwest.

I even thought... Unexpectedly.... Shame on you! Shameless!"

Now, this veteran who has fought for the Han Dynasty for most of his life seems to have figured out a lot.

He finally knew that all the grievances he had suffered in this northwest were not deceived by those hateful generals.

Perhaps... They weren't scapegoats of any kind, but the higher-ups knew all of this. They're just... It's just a group of people who help the court resist pressure and do evil things!

When the real resentment in the northwest boils, or when the imperial court has a better way to govern the generals and schools in the northwest. These people will be beheaded to calm the anger of the people.

Thereby.... Everything is so normal, everything is so reasonable....

But it's all ridiculous, and they're in the midst of it... Those pawns who don't let anyone care. Discarded by them at will.... They don't care how difficult their lives are at this time!

Looking at the Northwest pawn who gradually became miserable, gradually became extreme, and got out of control.

Several jailers and guards around Liu Tao immediately wanted to rush forward to protect Liu Tao, and even Sun Desheng, who had been secretly quite good to this old pawn, also silently walked to the old pawn's side at this time.

We are ready to make a move at any time.

But in the face of such a veteran in the northwest, Liu Tao, who has always claimed to be weak and powerless, walked in front of him lightly but firmly.

I don't care at all, whether this old man who used to kill people will suddenly make a move, and whether he will suddenly do something bad to him. Even, at this time, Liu Tao took the initiative to walk in front of him, and then slowly bent down and slowly looked at the guy in front of him. "You.... Worried about your son?"

"Son? Where do I deserve a son?"

After the old man heard this, he couldn't help but let out a sneer, and even couldn't help but snort coldly. "Lao Tzu..... my parents have been starved to death, and we haven't seen what our parents look like since we were children.

It was my brother who took us to live in this northwest.

It's just that all kinds of Hu and Qiang people in the northwest appear endlessly, and the Qiang and Hu tribes on the lakes and seas and green mountains come from the south, not to mention, and there are even many Di people mixed in.

In order to protect our safety, our eldest brother was finally killed by them.... Killed!

We didn't want to die, and we didn't have land, so we followed General Zhang Quan to Yangguan early.

This — to be treated.... That's decades!

Hehehe.... For decades, Lao Tzu has killed people except for killing, and in addition to killing people, he is preventing being killed. What qualifications do you think we have to find a family? Looking for a mother-in-law?"

The old man's words were indifferent, as if he was introducing an ordinary friend of his own, and it sounded a somewhat bleak story. Speaking in such a flat voice, it is even more bleak.

In the face of such a situation, Liu Tao didn't feel that his mentality had changed at all, and he even chuckled directly at the old pawn in front of him.

"Don't you have children?

That... What do you think of that little beggar?

I don't know why you killed the son of a county man.

But.... It's just a county, if you want, he can no longer be a county. Of course... There has never been a son since today! ”

With only one sentence left, Liu Tao was ready to find the Han Emperor Liu Feng.

And... He still does what he says!

"Liu Aiqing, you are really my humerus!"

Half a day later, in the Qianyang Hall of the palace, Liu Feng, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, looked at Jingzhao Yin Liu Tao in front of him, and involuntarily let out a burst of emotion.

The tone was full of praise, as if this Liu Tao was his confidant and favorite general, and his most trusted courtier.

From this tone, it was completely inaudible that not long ago, Liu Tao was directly pressed on top of this hall by the people of the forbidden army, and the sword and axe had been placed on his neck.

And at that time, this emperor didn't even show the slightest unbearable look at him.....

It's just that now in Liu Tao's mind, these things have gone with the wind and have all been forgotten.

Whether it was really forgotten or pressed in the bottom of his heart, Liu Tao couldn't remember it at all at this time anyway.

Recently, Liu Tao naturally didn't come here to settle old accounts with His Majesty the Emperor, he looked directly at the emperor in front of him, and then bowed to him.

sent the case of this old soldier in the northwest to the emperor.

At the same time, with his own experience and the information he has learned, he analyzed the case in detail and in detail.

If it is usual, even if this case is a little hidden, even if the son of Tang Huaien, the county leader of Changli County, really did something angry and resentful.

Even if the guy named Ji Yuan is really a righteous man, this truth of killing people to pay for their lives still can't be broken.

No matter how extenuating the circumstances, it is just an extrajudicial mercy, and the punishment is lighter, as for the rest... Don't even think about it.

But Liu Tao was different this time, and he put forward a completely different idea.

"Now that there are about to change in the northwest, the three law divisions are the first to go, and the embroidered guards are secretly probing, and several armies have been stationed in the surrounding counties of the northwest to deal with unexpected needs.

Such a response is to fear the chaos in the northwest.

But this is not easy to satisfy the people's hearts, and those people now think that they have some knowledge, and they often talk about the government and politics, and there are many dissatisfactions.

That's why the national focus I waited for couldn't be launched for a long time.

But now, we can't just rely on this passive defense, if there is chaos in the northwest, the surrounding forces suddenly make a move, even we will not be hurt.

I'm afraid it will also hold us back, which is the biggest inappropriateness.

According to the shallow opinion of the old ministers, before they really do it, it is better to establish the prestige of our court in the northwest first, so that they can understand that we are their dependence.

Kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials to win over the people's hearts, and cut off their generals to regain military power.

When we try to implement the national policy in the northwest, even if the people resist, there will be no chaos....

The most important thing is that the people of the Three Divisions are there now, and as long as they are given the right to deal with it on an ad hoc basis, they can do so.

I hope that Your Majesty.... Consider! ”

Liu Tao's words made the emperor who was worried about this matter suddenly interested.

In fact, everyone in this court knows that their majesty is definitely not a stupid person.

Let's just say that over the years, he and the Prime Minister Zhuge have worked together, from a little prince who was suspected and worried, the prince, all the way to the current Han Emperor. and even directly and completely changed the situation of the Han Dynasty.

is just this ability, even if he doesn't have that set of combos in the end to take down the famous Wen Copyist unharmed.

He can definitely be called a promising king, and he is the kind with extremely good ability....

But this Manchu Dynasty civil and military also knows another truth, that is, His Majesty the Emperor not only has such ability.

It's a more and more nowadays .... Bad Emperor.

His personality has become more and more suspicious, and his mind is more focused on power and conspiracy, and at the same time on his sons. and constantly wary of these sons....

He seemed to have become those famous kings of the past dynasties, and he had done what he should have done in this life, but he did not leave. After doing nothing, his behavior became more and more bizarre.

Over the years, he has reused the magistrate's court, pampered the concubine Su, liked the eunuch Yu Ruoen, and even single-handedly created a real powerful minister.

Although I dare not say that the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, it can be regarded as the left minister Dong Fuguo who makes people's hearts tremble....

Each of these people has their own powers, and at the same time their forces are fighting and entangled with each other, and this emperor is at ease with them.

It can even be said that... He enjoyed it.

His heart, I don't know when it started, has not been on the government affairs of this court and the people's livelihood in the world. The enemies on all sides have risen and fallen, and if it were not for the high mountains, the soldiers would not be able to breathe.

If it weren't for the barbaric wilderness outside the fortress, flying sand everywhere, the soldiers would not be able to move forward.

If it weren't for the vast grassland, the soldiers would not be able to keep up with the logistical supplies.

I'm afraid that their Han territory's territory will continue to expand.
