Chapter 47 (1)
Chapter 47: Go with the flow (1)
The collapse of the two major families of Chen and Xu was inevitable. Liu Chan calmly defeated Huang Hao and Chen Fu, which made the major families in Shu shudder. If the Chen family and Xu family were given extra mercy, it means that the situation was not that bad, and the gentry still had an impact on Your Majesty. If the two families were destroyed like the Fei family, then it would be smart to put away their tails as soon as possible and support Your Majesty. The views of the major families are basically the same, and watching the results of the Chen and Xu families and Your Majesty's attitude.
From the moment Chen Qi and Xu You were imprisoned, Liu Chan no longer regarded these two people as any threat. Life and death are all under his control, so why should we worry about unnecessary things? Implementing the new policy is the ultimate goal. With the deterrence of the Chen Xu incident, quickly implementing greed can achieve miraculous results. Although Hu Leique has no status, he gradually established a structure and began to implement some functions. If he established Hu Leique according to the suggestions of Yang Xi and others, he must be supported by the ministers in the court. Liu Chan did not think so, the great Han emperor naturally had the right to make decisions independently. First, he formed the facts, even if all the civil and military officials in the court opposed it, it would not be possible to change the situation that was already done.
This time, the imperial edict issued an edict to all counties to provide pensions to the military and civilians. Wen Li, Wei Ji, Du Zhen and Gao Wan arrived at the same time. The four of them pretended to be ordinary people, and more than ten people were selected from the two guards of Hu Ben Yulin to protect them along the way. Wen Li and Guan Hu came to target Xi County. After searching and observing, they learned how brave the magistrate of Dongguanghan County was. Only a few people in the city had sources of information knew about the edict of Your Majesty, and the vast majority of the people were unaware of it and could only live a sad life.
Wen Li also heard about Liu Shao's petition for the people and was almost imprisoned. After asking in the city, he couldn't find Liu Shao. Today, when he arrived near the yamen, he saw the people gathering, so he brought Guan Hu and two guards into the crowd, and happened to witness everything with his own eyes. At first, Wen Li and Guan Hu were preparing to watch the changes. Later, seeing that the county magistrate Li Bo came in a fierce manner and looked like he could not give up, Wen Li hurriedly sent the guards to take his seal letter and Guan Hu to find the defenders to provide assistance.
After finally calming down the civil unrest, Wen Li took the lead and took everyone into the government office to sit down. Wang Jie, the infantry captain of the county, invited the doctor in the city to treat Liu Shao and the dirty young man. Seeing that the middle-aged scholar was really a popular man in front of His Majesty, Li Bo sat aside and thought about a plan to save his life. Wen Li was also thinking about how to deal with the county magistrate of Dongguanghan. The Huangmen Minister was only a close minister of 600 stones, and the county magistrate was a senior official of 200 stones. He did not have the right to deal with this Li Bo. Now Li Bokan was sitting with him for the sake of His Majesty. Seeing the county magistrate being restless, Wen Li knew that he had to take risks in this trip.
"The imperial edict has been issued for several days. Why hasn't there been an announcement in Dongguanghan territory?" Wen Li asked calmly and calmly.
"Ah... how dare the lower officials... they must have been torn apart by the rioters. The lower officials will then order people to post the list again." Seeing Wen Li speak, Li Bo said hesitantly.
"How much money and rice has been distributed in this county? Can there be records in the book?" Wen Li continued.
"Yes, yes, I'll let someone take it." Hearing Wen Li's question, Li Bo hurriedly asked someone to get it.
The amount of money and rice distributed by each county must be recorded and reported to the palace. This is something that Liu Chan particularly emphasized. The money and rice in Xi County were all shared by major families, and the accounts to deal with the court had been prepared long ago. Wen Li asked for a review, but Li Bo's wish was fulfilled.
"Mr. Li doesn't have to be so reserved. Where did the genius in green come from? Why did he beat drums to disturb the government?" Wen Li asked with a happy look.
"The boy's name is Liu Shao, and his courtesy name is Ziyuan. He is said to be a descendant of Liu Zixiang of Yingchuan. He made unreasonable troubles last time, and the officials gave up the emperor because they thought of his ancestors' virtues. Who knew that today he wanted to assassinate the officials. It seems that they were mostly impersonators!" Li Bo began to slander Liu Shao as he spoke.
"It was very dangerous just now, and I almost encountered misfortune." Seeing Li Bo's more and more excited as he spoke, Wen Li pointed out indifferently.
Li Bo knew what Wenli was referring to. His heart was pounding again, and cold sweat broke out on his body. He stood up and bowed: "The situation was chaotic at that time. The evil slave had no eyes and mistakenly treated the adults as a rioter. It was a pity! The subordinates also had the responsibility of inadequate supervision. Please punish them!"
"Mr. Li is so serious. I am doing things around His Majesty. Does it look like a rioter?" Wen Li said, and he couldn't help but look up to Li Bo in his heart. From the initial panic and unconsciousness to the clear structure now, Li Bo's mood has been adjusted.
"How dare the officials..." Li Bo was shocked when he heard this, thinking of finding a topic to expose the matter, otherwise it would be very difficult to hold on to the article.
At this time, the infantry captain Wang Jie walked in and said, "Mr. Qi Bingwen, the body outside has been disposed of. According to the master, all the identities have been confirmed. The list is here."
Guan Hu stepped forward and took the roster and handed it to Wen Li. Wen Li looked through it and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Captain Wang, I wonder how those two people were placed?"
"Just about to report that the two of them are not seriously injured, but they have to rest for a few days after losing too much blood." Wang Jie replied.
"It's so good." Wen Li felt relieved when he saw that both of them had saved their lives.
"Sir! These two people are slandering and inciting the people to kill the imperial officials. They must be rebels. They should be punished and executed in prison for serious crimes!" Li Bo said on the sidelines.
"I am about to inquire about this matter, but I wonder where Captain Wang settled these two people?" Wen Li asked.
"Then Mr. Liu also wanted to pay homage to Lord Wen, and was placed in a side hall by his subordinates." Wang Jie said.
"If you have time, Master Wang led the way, please send the pension list to him later and say goodbye." Without giving Li Bo the opportunity to speak, Wen Li led Guan Hu and two guards from Wang Jie to the side hall.
Li Bo was puzzled. Lord Wen did not pursue him, but just asked in pain. It seemed that he didn't know that the situation of Qianmi in Wei County had not issued pension money. It was impossible to know carefully, but since he knew why his attitude was so unclear? Could it be... Li Bo had a good idea in his mind and hurriedly found a few confidant servants and gave a few instructions.
Wen Li and others walked into the side hall, and the two young men fell to the ground and bowed: "Caomin Liu Shao, Fan En paid a visit to Lord Wen, and General Guan!"
"You two, please come up. I wonder what the relationship between Liu Zixiang in Yingchuan and the young master?" He attaches great importance to Liu Shao's family background and Wen Li.
Liu Shao stood up and replied, "It is the ancestor of my family. My father has been wandering in the middle of the river with his clan for decades."
"I didn't expect that the young master was a descendant of a famous family. Wen was disrespectful, please sit down!" Wen Li turned his eyes to Fan En and said, "This young man is good and comes out with righteousness. Wen admires him, please sit down!"
Liu Shao's grandfather Liu Yi was named Zixiang. He was kind and generous, charitable, and respected morality and righteousness. His family was rich and often helped others without asking for anything in return. The court intended to summon him as an official, but he was rejected several times. The prefect of Yingchuan, Zhong Fu, appointed Liu Shao as the county gongcao. Liu Shao believed that Zhong Fu was a famous minister, so he took office. Zhong Fu knew that Liu Shao was the time to serve as an official and respected his character very much. There was a man named Huang Gang who relied on the power of Mrs. Cheng and wanted to take the mountain seed for himself. Mrs. Cheng was the emperor
Zhong Fu, the popular man around the emperor, was very embarrassed, so he asked Liu Yi. Liu Yi advised: "Since ancient times, I have not regarded Shan Ze as a fief for the people. The prefect surrendered to the other party's request and was a slander. If something unexpected happened because of the refusal to the other party, then your son would be taken care of by more people." Zhong Fu followed Liu Yi's advice and refused. Soon after, Zhong Fu referred Liu Yi as a filial piety, and Liu Yi resolutely refused to return to his hometown to live.
Later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion caused a famine. Liu Yi took out the money and food from his family to help the villagers, prepared coffins for the dead, and the people who lost their families gave them money and food to help them remarry and establish a career. Because of Liu Yi's relationship, hundreds of villagers were saved.
Emperor Xian of Han moved the capital to Chang'an to avoid the chaos and appointed Liu Yi as a planner. At that time, bandits were rampant and the road was blocked. Liu Yi went to Chang'an to accept the appointment at night. Emperor Xian issued an edict to commend his loyalty and diligence, and promoted Liu Yi to the prefect of Chenliu. Liu Yi distributed all the jewelry he carried to others, leaving only a carriage to take office. On the way, he met a literati who died on the side of the road, so Liu Yi exchanged his horse carriage for a coffin, buried the literati and continued on the way. Soon he met a hungry old friend. Liu Yi couldn't bear to see his old friend starving to death, so he killed a ox that pulled the carriage to fill his hunger. Everyone around him advised Liu Yi not to do this. Liu Yi said: "I don't want to save him, it's not a patriot!" In the end, Liu Yi and the old friend starved to death on the way.
This matter was widely circulated, and Wen Li also admired it. Now he felt a lot of emotion when he saw the descendants of Liu. After some greetings, the topic turned to today's affairs. Liu Shao scolded Li Bo without saying anything. Wen Li pretended to be the first time he heard about it and turned to Wang Jie and asked, "Did Wang Jiawei know about this?"
Wang Jie clasped his fists and said, "The young general has been stationed in the wild recently, searching for thieves who missed the net. This is the first time he heard of such a thing."
"I hope the Captain Wang will prepare the carriage and horses. This is after loyalty and righteousness. I will take him back to the palace to pay homage to the saints." Wen Li pointed at Liu Shao and said to Wang Jie.
After Wang Jie left, Wen Li sighed: "The two families of Li and Wang are extremely powerful, both of which are old-fashioned families in Sichuan. Now we can only go back to Chengdu and report to the emperor to the emperor to make a decision."
"Since Lord Wen is here by order, why not bring such corrupt officials to justice to serve as a warning?" Liu Shao asked in confusion.
"The officials are divided into orderly orders. Wen's official position is low. He is all from King Li's tribe in Dongguanghan. If he arrests people, he may not even be able to get out of this government office." Wen Li shook his head and said.
"My trip with Lord Wen was just inquiring about the news, not arresting people under the order. Leaving here first and then trying to arrest him and convicting him." Guan Hu also explained.
The footsteps outside the hall were noisy, and Fan En said with a sharp hearing: "I'm afraid it's not easy to leave."
Soon an old man walked into the hall with more than ten people and laughed: "Is the person who came here Qiao Yunnan Gaozu Bajun Wenguangxu?"
