Chapter 168 The country is in trouble and everyone is responsible
Although surprised, Li Xu could understand Song Mu's difficulties.
Time is endless, and Song Mu has no time to wait for a new army to reorganize, so he can only choose to draw elite soldiers from the local area to quickly set up the airs of the left guard of Yulin.
With only 10,000 people in the left guard of Yulin, Song Mu gave him two thousand places, which means that Li Xu, the general of the Central Army, will take his direct team directly to take office, so that the people below will not be disobedient after taking office, and will also cause a scene of hindrance.
Humph, Shoufu Song is still not brave enough. If he is more courageous, he will just let me fill all the quotas for you for you. That is how easy it is to use it, and his combat power is definitely second to none.
But he just complained in his heart that Song Mu was very courageous to let him lead two thousand direct people to take office immediately. After all, the Imperial Guard was not owned by his family.
Although his sincerity to Li Xu is pretty good now, he is the chief minister of a country after all, and it is impossible for him to be completely unpredictable.
And I'm afraid he himself wouldn't believe that Li Xu could train too many elites. It would be great to have two thousand elites.
After all, Li Xu only fought twice in public, and he fought with a group of thieves, so his military achievements did not seem to be very dazzling.
If Song Mu had not had a shortage of people under his command and Yu Yu's relationship, Song Mu would not have been able to value Li Xu so much.
Li Xu pretended to ponder for a moment, so he acted: "Uncle Liu, I am very grateful to Song for my love. But I suddenly want to go to the capital, but I am not prepared at all. My relatives and family are here, and the restaurant has just opened for a short time. Such a big stall will not be able to handle it clearly for a while."
Liu Jian looked at him with a smile, as if he was not surprised that he would say these words:
"It's all easy to deal with. I heard that the Empress Dowager missed Xiaoyuer, so she would go back to the capital recently. Song Xiang said, if you go to the capital, Your Majesty will give you a three-entre-mile house on Zhuque Street to make you settle down in the capital, and Song Xiang himself will give you a five-story restaurant and twenty shops as compensation. In addition, Song Xiang also said that he would ask the Ministry of War to allocate 100,000 taels of silver as funds for reconstruction of the Yulin Left Guard."
When Li Xu heard this, he immediately said righteously: "Everyone is responsible for the country in difficulties. Uncle Liu, you know me and always sacrifice your family for everyone. No matter what restaurants and shops are, it is our thing to do. Please tell Xiang Song, just say that I, Li Xu, will definitely do my best and resolutely protect the people and territory of the Qin Dynasty. I will never let any thief covet success."
Liu Jian automatically ignored the boastful words behind him and praised the previous sentence: "A good sentence is a difficult country and a man is responsible. If everyone can do it, then why worry about my great Qin Dynasty for thousands of years."
Li Xu was stunned, and then he realized that his mouth was bald and he had brought Gu Yanwu's famous sayings to this time and space. He smiled and didn't say much.
After the matter was finalized, Li Xu asked Liu Jian curiously what changes had been made in his position. Liu Jian smiled slightly and said a word: "Yaozhou."
Li Xu was stunned for a moment and understood.
It turns out that Uncle Liu was also promoted to the prefect of Yaozhou.
The original Yaozhou magistrate was Song Yu, who was Yu Yu's third uncle, who was transferred to Chang'an City as Jingzhao Yin, equivalent to the mayor of the capital, and he was definitely considered to be highly powerful.
Liu Jian, the governor of North Guanzhong, was promoted to Yaozhou like a rocket, and Li Xu was a little envious when he thought about it.
It turns out that there are people in the court who are good at being an official. If they hadn't had golden thighs, it would be unlikely to increase the speed of a rocket like Liu Jian.
Yaozhou is the most direct and important barrier north of Chang'an City. If Lin Ruhai's expedition fails again this time, the importance of Yaozhou will be highlighted suddenly.
If Song Mu did not allow Liu Jian, his brother-in-law, to guard Yaozhou, he would never be relieved.
Think about it, Empress Dowager Song controlled the little emperor in the palace, and in the court, Song Mu, the chief minister, monopolized the government affairs. There was also the general Song Cheng, who led the army to guard the border. Yaozhou was then guarded by his brother-in-law Liu Jian, and then arranged Li Xu, the prospective niece son-in-law, into the Imperial Guard, so that the Song family was controlled from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom.
It can be seen that Song Mu had a big plan. The Prime Minister didn't know whether he wanted to be a powerful minister or that he had the idea of sitting on that chair.
However, no matter what the ambition of the Shouguard Song is, Li Xu doesn't care much about it.
In the face of absolute strength, all planning is in vain. No matter how hard the Shoufu Song can do, he was also a wedding dress for him, Li.
Li Xu retracted his thoughts and asked if Liu Jian was promoted to the magistrate of Yaozhou, who would be the governor of Guanzhong North and Sanshui County?
Liu Jian said: "You know this person too. Song Xiang likes him and hopes that he can come to the place to experience it so that he can make great use in the future."
Do I know?
After a little thought, Li Xu knew that Liu Jian was talking about the Tongzheng Housekeeper Tan Shu and Tan Wenming who came to pass the imperial edict last time.
To let a small section chief of a central department of the imperial court come to the local area to serve, it is indeed necessary to reuse his rhythm. As long as he has the experience of governing the local area, whether he is in charge of the government or returns to the key department of the central government in the future, he will be considered to have a rich experience.
Liu Jian also said that Li Xu would recommend a candidate to replace him as the county magistrate of Sanshui County.
When Li Xu was the county magistrate, Song Yu, then the governor of Yaozhou, approved it. Now Liu Jian is going to be promoted to governor, and Liu Jian, the person recommended by Li Xu, will definitely agree.
Li Xu thought about it and recommended Geng Liang, who is now the head of the yamen runners general in the third squad.
Liu Jian nodded and said that there was no problem. Although Geng Liang looked like a flatterer when he was looking at Li Xu, he was still very loyal when he was the head of the yamen runners of the third squad. He was majestic and handsome, and Liu Jian had a good impression of him.
Li Xu originally wanted to let his direct descendants Zhao Husheng or Zhang Long serve as the county lieutenant, but when he thought that it would be better for these two direct descendants to follow him to the capital.
After thanking Liu Jian, Li Xu made an appointment with him to lead his troops to Chang'an City in three days, so he left the yamen to prepare to go home.
Geng Liang seemed to be waiting for Li Xu at the door. After seeing Li Xu come out, he hurriedly took Li Xu's mount and came forward.
Li Xu took the reins of the horse, turned over the horse, looked at Geng Liang and said, "Come and come to me after the time of the time, and tell you if you have something to do."
Geng Liang was happy and thought it might be a good thing, so he hurriedly agreed.
Li Xu trotted his horse's belly and his mount was light and jogging towards the heaven and earth.
