The Han capital Luoyang City is built on the Mangshan Mountain and the Yishui River. The outer city is six miles wide from east to west and nine miles long from north to south. There are eleven city gates around the city: from east to west to south are Kaiyang Gate, Pingcheng Gate, and Xiaoyuan Gate; from north to north to south are the upper east gate, the middle east gate, and the west to west are the upper west gate, Yongmen, and Guangyang Gate. South three, North two, East three, and West three, this is the pattern of the eleven gates of Luoyang.

Liu He returned from Imperial College today. He got his "graduation certificate". He had to hurry home and tell his father that the sun was really poisonous. After only a few steps, he was sweating profusely. It took half an hour to return from the south gate to his home in the east gate.

People on the streets of the city were crowded with people, some were wrapped in scarves, some exposed buns, some robes and robes, or brown clothes and swords. Occasionally, there were Confucian scholars wearing high crowns and garments and sleeves passing by. People came and went, but they were not noisy, but they were also very lively.

In addition to Taixue, there are also important places such as Mingtang, Biyong, Lingtai, and Taixue. The most important thing is that the officials of the main gate are the only way to meet the guests. There is also the Nanshi, which is a daily transaction, which brings together nine-rate people. Liuhe is really crowded. In the western urban area, most of the common people come to Jinshi every day to work and trade. The eastern urban area is from Yongheli and Buguangli in the city, and the horse market is located outside the city for many years, so the east three gates are mostly official activities. The northern urban area is close to Yishui, and after crossing the river, there is the rolling Beimang Mountain. There are almost no houses to talk about, but there are some thatched cottages around the mountains and rivers, which are mostly places where old ministers live and enjoy the summer heat and study.

Liu He's home is in Yong'anli, Dongcheng. This "li" is similar to a community and a street office.

The inner sect guarding the inner sect was named Xun, who was forty or fifty years old, and had a fur on his face. When he saw Liu He enter the door, he hurriedly greeted him from the side room: "Little Liu Jun is back!"

Liu He smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll leave school today, so I'm back early."

"Little Liu Jun is determined to study. After three years of studying, when will he be appointed as an official?"

"Mr. Xun praised it. All the laws and regulations of the court are respected, and you are worried about it."

Xun Gong, the governor of the village, looked at Liu He's back and walked away, shook his head in praise, and said to himself: "There are many famous children of Yong'anli, but if you want to be polite, none of them can compare to Xiao Liu Jun!"

The road in the middle of the inner city is straight and covered with bluestone slabs. Every morning, the inner prison gate will be swept through it. It is very clean and just sprinkled with water, and it is moist.

The houses on both sides of the alley have pink walls and red tiles, and are connected by households, and are arranged neatly. Every family planted trees, either mulberry or elm, or fruit trees. The branches and leaves are towering outside the wall, and look like a crown and a cap from afar. Whenever the wind blows, the branches and leaves are rustling and the sound is connected, just like someone is blowing a whistle, and it sounds from inside to the end.

Liu He has lived in Benli for three or four years since traveling through time. Now he has returned from the Imperial College. He walks in the alleys. He sees all the people and things that are extremely familiar to him. He vaguely feels like he goes home from school in his previous life.

"I can't go back to my home in my previous life. Isn't this my home?"

There are hundreds of residents in Yong'anli, and Liu Yu's house is in Lixi.

Liu He came in from the east gate and kept talking to people along the way. He passed through the second and third gates of the inner and middle gates, slowly passed through half an inside, and went outside his yard.

His house was not big, and he entered the front and back twice. The gate was not locked, so he pushed open the door and walked in with his head held high.

Although I haven't come back for a few days, the yard is quite clean. On the east side of the front yard is a hall, which is wide and bright, for guests. On the west side are stables and chicken basins. A small piece of vegetable field was cultivated against the walls of the west, and it was divided into several pieces with ridges. The ones were planted with cabbage, leeks, etc. The cabbage was still early before it sprouted, and the leeks grew very well, green and very gratifying.

A woman in her twenties came out of the backyard and said in surprise: "Oh, the young master is back!"

She is the maid of the Liu Yu family, named "Xiao'er".

Liu He's family is not very rich. Although he is a descendant of the Queen of Donghai, he is not a direct descendant. However, his grandfather Liu Shu was a county magistrate in Danyang, and his father Liu Yu was good at managing the family business. After two generations, he also saved some family resources and was a middle-aged family. In addition, there were hundreds of acres of land in Donghai's hometown, but only Xiaoer, the maid who served Liu He's family.

Seeing Xiao'er come out to greet him, Liu He smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm back."

While wiping his sweat, he asked, "Is my father back?"

"The master seems to have gone to the Third Duke's Mansion, and said there is a call. I also asked me to feed the horses."

Xiao'er was in the East China Sea. She was a child that Liu Yu picked up since childhood and was taken as a maid. Although she was a maid, she actually did all the chores in the Liu family's family. She was with her, and the two of them lived together like siblings, and they were familiar with each other and did not speak restrictively.

"Is the appointment of the governor real?" Liu He thought to himself after hearing this.

Xiao'er took out the feed from behind the yard, spread it into the manger, and fed the horse. The horse ate and chewed it, very happy, and shook its tail from time to time, Ang'an's head. Seeing that she didn't care, Liu He simply went to the hall to find a piece of rag to wipe the horse's sweat.

Xiao'er snatched it over and said angrily: "What kind of person is the young master? How can you do such a rough job!"

Liu He teased and said, "How can you clean up the world if you don't clean a house? I can't do such a rough job at home, but in the future, I will not do anything you and I will do!"

"Nonsense! Although I am a maid, I have no knowledge and know that there are yamen runners, pavilions, horses, feeding and opening and closing, and cleaning, it is no longer the young master's turn to do it!"

Xiao'er took away the rag, took care of the horse's food, and wiped the horse's sweat. His figure turned around and took up half of the stable. Liu He couldn't fight for her, and he stood by his side and had nothing to do, so he said, "When will my father say he'll come back?"

While he was speaking, a horse was stern at the door: "Well! Stop!"

"Everyone's attitude, it must be the master who is back."

Liu He and Xiaoer immediately went out to greet him.

Liu Yu led the horse to the door of his house: "Xiao'er led the horse."

Xiao'er took the horse away.

"Father." Liu He bowed.

"Haha! My son, you are graduated today, I will congratulate you first for your father." Liu Yu laughed as bright as eating honey.

"Thank you for your praise."

"For my father, we have a happy event, let's go into the house and say."

Entering the study, the father and son sat opposite each other, Xiaoer served the refreshment and then left.

"Son! Do you know what's going on with your father?" Liu Yu took a sip of tea.

"Take a concubine? But my mother is still in the East China Sea." Liu He pretended not to know.

"It was the imperial court who appointed me as the governor of Youzhou." Liu Yu said that, and took out a roll of cloth and handed it to Liu He.

The cloth read: "The Emperor of Han Dynasty said: I heard that Yu, the doctor of the Five Classics, was a county official after King Gong of Donghai. He was a virtuous and upright person, governing the people and benefiting the people. Later, he moved to Dongguan to proofread books and was also diligent. I was very relieved! However, Youzhou is exhausted and robbed, and the people of the counties in Yan Dynasty were in dire straits. However, the governor of Youzhou was vacant for one year. So now he was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, and he was loyal to the eleven counties. I hope you will make another contribution and will not let my heart down! I will give you a seven-month month in the fourth year of Guanghe."

After Liu He finished reading it, "Father! The court really values ​​you! You can kill people without official titles in normal times, and kill officials less than 2,000 stones in wartime. When you go to Youzhou, you can 'mounted the horse to control the army and dismounted the horse to control the people'."

To hold the ritual, any envoy who holds the ritual will represent the emperor's personal visit, similar to the "Shangfang Sword".

"However, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Do my son have any opinions on the affairs of Youzhou?" Liu Yu sighed.

"Although my son was in the Imperial Academy, he ignored the affairs outside the window, but all the kings and teachers all talked about current affairs, so he also knew one or two border affairs." Liu He straightened his waist: "Youzhou, the old place of Yan, the place where borders are vulgar, but the Han and Hu are intertwined, and it is difficult for the people to govern. Whether it is the Xianbei outside the border or the Wuhuan in the pass, they are all barbarians who fear power but do not have virtue. If his father governs Youzhou, he must handle the relationship between the Han and Hu people in Yan's border counties properly so that the people have no disputes; only if there is no dispute can they be rehabilitated."

"Well! Son! You really said that you are in your heart for your father." Liu Yu looked relieved: "But why do you have such an idea?"

"When my son was in the Imperial Academy, I heard his teachers comment on Duan Jiang and Duan Jiming."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"I was the first to be a disaster in the Qiang Li area of ​​the East. I was in the precedent of the dynasty. I wanted to be destroyed. I walked on the frost and snow, and I walked on the morning and night. I was assuming arrows and stones. I was so excited that the officials and soldiers were harsh. Before the day, the evil and ugly ran away, and the corpses were accumulated and captured, and the harvest was incomplete. I washed the snow for a hundred years to comfort the dead souls of the loyal generals, and the function was significant."

"But the reason why Duan Yi was able to be supported by the officers and soldiers in his life was the secret of threshing grass. He was born in the cold tribe in Liangzhou, and was extremely excluded by the officialdom. It was much more difficult to make a world than others. Therefore, Duan Yi tried his best to curry favor with the eunuchs and tried to accumulate military merits. His method was very despicable. At that time, the Qiang tribe was the Qiang tribe. Duan Yi instigated the soldiers to threshing grass and asked them to plunder the Qiang tribe. All the animals and property they obtained belonged to the soldiers. First, they gave the soldiers some oil and water to win the hearts of the people, and second, they would force the Qiang people to rebel after the robbery for a long time. When the Qiang people rebel, he would lead the troops to suppress the rebellion. If he wins, he would be the contribution he made to the Jingbian of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Yu frowned: "What you are worried about is that there will be the same thing in Youzhou?"

Liu He nodded: "Everything is planned, and if it is not planned, it will be abolished. Regardless of whether the situation in Youzhou is the same as in Liangzhou, it is better to make the worst plan after all. The remaining officials, the gentry of prefectures, and local tyrants of local tyrants, the father has been in the county and county ranks for a long time, and should know how to negotiate with each other."

"Huh?" Liu Yu stroked his beard: "The so-called "no father is better than a father". You are already in your prime and your studies in the Imperial Academy have ended. As usual, you joined the office as a Tailang. But when you were eight years old, you started studying and admiring the Holy Way, but you were also good at fencing on horses. Why?"

"Father knows it clearly! My husband should be a guard, Huo, and he will rush to the desert to drive the Rongdi, and make achievements. How can he be a doctor? Since my father asked, I will say it clearly - can my father take me to Youzhou to assist my father? Even if it is the position of the pavilion chief." Liu He stood up and turned to his bed and bowed.

"Entering the kins do not avoid relatives, and economizing the kins do not avoid resentment?" Liu Yu took a sip of tea and said lightly: "What should I do for you?"

Liu He corrected his body: "Wearing hard and holding on to the sharp edge, not taking care of the difficulties, the soldiers will be the first; rewards must be carried out, and punishment must be trusted."

"Okay! This is my son of Liu Bo'an. It's accurate!" Liu Yu laughed: "But before taking office, you have to follow me to visit someone in Xicheng."

"Oh? Who is so valued by my father?" Liu He asked.
