After Liu He's words were finished, the officials patted the dust on their robes and stood up in an orderly manner.

At this time, the expressions on the faces of the officials were much more lively, the oppressive atmosphere was somewhat relaxed, and there was suddenly some fresh air in the originally solemn and dull hall.

These officials are actually familiar faces.

In the past two years, Liu He got along with them very happily, and he used his knowledge and thinking to help Changyi solve many thorny problems.

From persuading farmers to adjudicating lawsuits, Liu He can always give some different opinions, which are very absurd at first glance, but they can often play an unexpected role.

Liu He's participation gave the dreary Changyi country some new atmosphere.

Over time, from the Changyi Xiang and Lieutenant Changyi, to the Peng Shi of Cao, they were all quite convinced by Liu He, and as long as they encountered problems that they could not solve, they were willing to come to Liu He's opinion.

However, what seems to be harmony is actually risky.

The ancestral system of "princes and kings do not rule the country" is like a sword, hanging above Liu He's head.

If someone catches this handle, he will be reprimanded at the least, and at worst, he will be removed from the state and even exiled.

After pondering and meditating, Liu He created a reason for himself.

On the fifteenth day of each month, Liu He would hold a virtuous meeting in the Changyi Palace: on the surface, he was discussing the scriptures and meanings with the virtuous literature in the county, but in fact, he was helping Zhu Cao solve the tricky things in his hands.

In order to avoid suspicion, Liu He only helps Zhu Cao solve three things every month, and the number is limited.

For this reason, Liu He also gave himself the nickname of "Changyi Guomen's Minister".

The so-called subordinates are actually the personal advisers of officials, and the "subordinates of Changyi State" are to be guests of the entire Changyi State, specializing in solving trivial practices.

The dignified princes and kings actually want to be a nameless and nameless subordinate of the door, which sounds like an extremely ridiculous thing.

However, it is better to be scolded as a madman than to be removed from the country.

Anyway, the previous Liu He didn't do any more crazy things, not much more like this, and no less like this.

What's more, the madness can just be a cover for himself.

The general of Chang'an finally chose himself as the emperor, didn't he value his own playfulness and madness.

So, Liu He happily used the excuse of "the subordinate of Changyi State" to secretly intervene in the political affairs of Changyi State.

Of course, the "big officials" such as Changyi Xiang and Lieutenant Changyi would not come to Liu He's virtuous meeting, and they were all Zhucao's second officials—they were all officials of about 200 stones, insignificant, and naturally would not attract the attention of outsiders.

Liu He, who was firmly seated on the throne, counted with his eyes, and there were a total of eleven people standing under His Royal Highness, which coincided with the number that Yu Wuwu said, this Langzhong was as capable and rigorous as ever.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's start, today, who will throw bricks and lead the jade first?" Liu He asked.

Everyone immediately began to humble themselves, the left one "Taifu please first", and the other "contemptible people don't dare", pushing back and obstructing, but no one began to get down to business.

Liu He frowned, he didn't like this kind of useless red tape.

Just when Liu He gave Yu Wuwu a look and wanted the latter to urge, a strong man with a beard and a hedgehog crown pushed away several colleagues and stood up, complaining incessantly: "Didn't you fight for foam just now, do you have to let your subordinates help you bail out, why is it that you are pushing back again." ”

"I, Chen Xiu, am an anxious person, but I won't be humble with you."

Chen Xiu is the Fa Cao Shi of the Lieutenant's Mansion, with a violent personality, he is an outlier among the Confucian scholars who uphold the golden mean, and his few vulgar complaints just now have attracted everyone's side attention, but he is completely unaware of it, let alone take it to heart

Although it is an outlier, Liu He appreciates it very much.

"Then Chen Qing will first talk about the difficulties you Facao encountered."

"Yui!"

Chen Xiu took out a piece of wood and read it out according to the contents.

"A few days ago, the thief Cao leveled a water bandit's nest in Onozawa and arrested more than 100 people, and those minions have confessed, but the thief head does not spit out."

Chen Xiu not only behaved vulgarly, but also had black words in his words, which once again made his colleagues frown and shake their heads.

"Now that there is already a confession from the minions, and it is a person caught in the lair, it can be regarded as a person who has obtained stolen goods, and there is no need for the thief to spit out, and your Facao should be able to close the case."

Liu He had an impression of Onozawa, which was a large lake washed out by the Yellow River in the north of Changyi Kingdom, with a maximum width of more than 100 li from east to west and more than 300 li from north to south.

There are hundreds of bandits active on this Onozawa, who make a living by robbing merchants who come and go, and there is a lot of commotion.

"According to common sense, the case can be closed, but this gang of water bandits has robbed several giant businessmen in Chang'an, and they are famous in the Tingwei Mansion, so the lieutenant specially instructed that the iron case must be completed, and the iron case must have the confession of the first criminal."

"I have seen your Facao's skills, and I use them the same, so I'm not afraid that the other party won't confess, right?"

In this era, corporal punishment is common, and torture to extract confessions is even more commonplace.

Chen Xiu hesitated for a while, and then said with some discouragement: "This thief is so hard, we have used all the methods that can be used, but we don't open our mouths." ”

"And what do you want the widow to do?"

"I want His Highness to give us an idea and see how we can get him to confess."

Liu He was reluctant to go to the dark and damp county prison in his heart, the smell of blood in it made him nauseous, but the rules are the rules, since he is known as the official of Changyi State, he should not be picky or chosen, and he will be treated equally, and all the dirty work and tiring work must be done.

"Well, the widow knows, this matter is really important, accurate."

Seeing that Liu He agreed, Chen Xiuxi raised his eyebrows, and his black face showed a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"Yui!"

Liu He waved his hand and motioned for Chen Xiu to step back.

According to the procedure of the literary conference, when Zhu Cao Shi said one thing, Liu He decided one thing, and with the gradual reduction of the number of places, they would be more proactive, which could greatly improve the efficiency of work.

Sure enough, Chen Xiu on this side had just retreated, and before anyone else could react, a thief-eyed person squeezed in front of Liu He very flexibly from the gap in the crowd.

"The little official Wang He has something to do with the door."

This Wang He is Tian Caoshi, who is in charge of persuading farmers to teach agriculture, perhaps because he is talking to farmers all the year round, this two-hundred-stone official looks no different from an old farmer.

Like Chen Xiu, Wang He is also an outlier, Confucianism believes that governing the country should be based on agriculture, but if you really let the Confucian students who have become officials go to farm and raise silkworms, I am afraid that none of them can endure that hardship.

Farming is very hard, and Liu He doesn't like farming, but he, like the librarian, respects the farmers who farm, and knows that the power of farmers is endless.

"Agriculture is the foundation of the country, Tian Cao's affairs are naturally no trivial matter, Wang Caoshi, please talk about it."

"We have recently built a new batch of plows according to the drawings you gave, and please come with us to see them and teach us how to use them."

Liu He had a headache, he was afraid of anything, this ploughing was not an easy thing.
