Eight hundred and eighty-third chapter Bo Ji intercedes
Even though Li Zichun and Li Ziyu had nothing to do with the assassins, Liu Xiu still asked Deng Chen to continue to imprison them.
For this reason, Liu Liang went to Tingwei Mansion to look for Deng Chen twice. Deng Chen was also helpless. His Majesty refused to let him go, so what could he do? He couldn't let him go without permission!
Deng Chen comforted Liu Liang and said: "Uncle, don't worry too much. Your Majesty just has resentment towards Li Zichun and Li Ziyu. When Your Majesty's anger subsides, he will naturally release them."
Liu Liang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. Logically speaking, he should ask Liu Xiu for mercy, but his special relationship with Li Zichun made it difficult for him to ask Liu Xiu for mercy.
Two days later, Deng Yu wrote a memorial to Liu Xiu, in which he elaborated on the rectification plan for Luoyang County Government. One was to expand the establishment and increase the number of yamen in Luoyang County Government, which was basically the same size as the county government.
Second, the salary of the Luoyang County Magistrate and Luoyang County Lieutenant was raised. The salary of the County Magistrate was raised from 1,500 dan to over 2,000 dan. Compared to 2,000 dan, it was less than 2,000 dan, but close to 2,000 dan.
You must know that the salary of the county governor is equivalent to two thousand dan or two thousand dan.
The salary of Luoyang county captain was also increased from one thousand dan to fifteen hundred dan.
There was no hierarchy at that time, and the rank of an official was determined by his salary.
Raising the salaries of Luoyang County Magistrate and Luoyang County Lieutenant to the level of County Magistrate and County Captain is equivalent to raising the level of these two positions. Luoyang County Magistrate can also participate in court meetings openly and openly.
Third, significantly increase the expenditure of Luoyang County Government, in order to cultivate the county government's own secret agents and informants, and establish its own intelligence system in Luoyang City.
Fourth, allocate half of the tiger talisman of the infantry in the army of the fifth school to Luoyang Ling. When the county government officials encounter problems that cannot be solved, the Luoyang order can use half of the tiger talisman to go to the infantry captain of the fifth school to communicate with the infantry.
The school captain sent troops together.
From this memorial written by Deng Yu, it can be seen that he wanted to make the Luoyang Order into a half-Zhijinwu. The reason why it is said to be half-Zhijinwu is because the Luoyang Order itself does not have independent power to mobilize troops. He can only
Only by cooperating with the infantry captain can we send out troops together. But even so, it greatly saves the time for reporting and can greatly improve the county's emergency response capabilities.
After Liu Xiu received Deng Yu's memorial, he specially invited him into the palace to discuss the matter with the ministers. When discussing Deng Yu's plan, the eight ministers also put forward their own opinions and questions.
Deng Yu was very well prepared and answered fluently. After getting approval from the Chancellor, Liu Xiu agreed to implement the plan proposed by Deng Yu.
Liu Xiu's reform of Luoyang County Government this time has greatly improved the status of Luoyang County Government, making Luoyang County Government superior to Jing Zhaoyin in Chang'an. Dong Xuan's reaction to this was very dull.
It is true that his status in the court has been improved, but the number of affairs has also increased correspondingly. The security of the entire capital has almost all fallen on him, the Luoyang Order.
If any major case happens in Luoyang in the future, he will no longer be able to shirk his involvement.
Unlike Dong Xuan, Luoyang County Lieutenant Zhang Bi was extremely excited. Of course, the biggest beneficiary of this county government reform was the Luoyang Order, and the second beneficiary was him, Luoyang Lieutenant.
Now his rank is equivalent to a county captain, and through the reform, the county captain has been abolished. He, a county captain who is equivalent to a captain, is the only one in the world. How can he be unhappy?
Aren't you proud?
In the past, he was just a gangster in Luoyang, but now he has hundreds of government officials under his command. At critical moments, the Luoyang lieutenant can also dispatch troops. Zhang Bi is so happy just thinking about it.
Dong Xuan and Zhang Bi, the two heads of Luoyang County, had completely opposite reactions to Liu Xiu's imperial edict.
Looking at Zhang Bi, who was grinning almost to the base of his ears and walking unsteadily, Dong Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, "County Lieutenant Zhang looks very excited!"
Zhang Ben glanced at Dong Xuan, walked up to him, nudged him with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Sir, you always keep a straight face on weekdays, forget it. Today, you received such an imperial edict, how can you still do it?"
Can’t you show a smile?”
Seeing Dong Xuan's worried look, he didn't even know what Dong Xuan was worried about.
"Laughing? Haha, I can't laugh!" Dong Xuan said: "In the past, our Luoyang County Government was just a small government office in Luoyang City. If something big or small happened in Luoyang, the county government could still find a way to evade the involvement.
From now on, there will never be such a relaxing time."
Zhang Bi straightened his back, patted his chest, and said: "The higher our status, the greater our responsibilities, and this is natural!"
Dong Xuan had nothing to say. Looking at Zhang Bi who was dancing with pride and beaming with joy, he suddenly became angry. He suddenly remembered something and said: "I heard that you once visited Li Mansion and asked Li
The government asked for one hundred gold."
Zhang Ben's face suddenly became serious and he said urgently: "Sir, this hundred gold is not a bribe! Li Zichun promised me that as long as I am willing to help him send a message to King Zhao, he will give me one hundred gold.
.”
Dong Xuan nodded and said with an indifferent expression: "I didn't pursue it, so why are you anxious?!"
Zhang Ben secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Dong Xuan turned against him, he would be afraid of his master, who was not recognized by his relatives. His tense nerves relaxed and he said: "My lord, you are going to scare me to death."
.”
Old God Dong Xuan continued on the ground: "Although you are not breaking the law by accepting this hundred gold, it is still ill-gotten wealth. Now that the county government is expanding, there are many places to use money, so just donate half of it!"
Why? Why should I donate half of it?! Zhang Bi seemed to have been stepped on. He almost jumped up and said anxiously: "Sir, if you say that, you are being too bullying...
"
Dong Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said: "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will ask you to donate everything. If you feel unconvinced, when I go to court tomorrow, I can seek your Majesty's opinion and let Your Majesty come and make a decision. It depends on your hundred gold."
Should I donate or shouldn’t I donate?”
Zhang Bi's eyes widened and he looked at Dong Xuan in disbelief. Dong Xuan muttered in a low voice: "It's my first time to participate in the court meeting, and I'm worried that I have nothing to say."
Damn it for you! Zhang Bi squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "I will donate!"
Dong Xuan patted him on the shoulder, nodded to him, and praised: "Very good!"
What a ghost! Seeing Dong Xuan turn around and leave, Zhang Bi followed behind and said angrily: "The county government is expanding, and the imperial court has issued money."
Dong Xuan walked forward with his hands behind his back and said without looking back: "To the east, we are fighting Zhang Bu, and to the west, we are fighting Gongsun Shu. There are too many places where the court spends money. If there is one, we can solve it ourselves."
If you have problems, don’t drag the court down any more.”
Zhang Ben felt his teeth itching when he heard this. What you said sounded nice. The key issue is that the fifty gold was not paid by all of us, but by me alone! "No wonder you have no friends in Luoyang City."
"What did you say?"
"If you continue like this, I'm going to lose even my last friend."
Speaking of which, the two of them didn't have many personal relationships. They were just working partners. Dong Xuan really didn't know that Zhang Bi actually regarded him as a friend. Dong Xuan, who was walking in front, had a subtle smile on his lips.
.
On this day, Liu Boji came to the palace to visit her newborn nephew Liu Yang.
Inwardly speaking, Liu Boji feels closer to Yin Lihua, after all, they have known each other for a long time, while she is relatively distant from Guo Shengtong.
Liu Boji came here with her son. Her and Li Tong's son is named Li Yin. He is young, only five or six years old.
After hearing the news that his younger sister had entered the palace, Liu Xiu also went to the West Palace with great interest. Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Li Yin's little face was full of smiles, and she ran over excitedly and shouted: "Uncle!"
Liu Xiu laughed, bent down, picked up Li Yin, walked up and down, and said, "Well, it's a little heavier again!"
"Brother (Your Majesty)!" Liu Boji and Yin Lihua came out of the inner room and saluted together. Liu Xiu put down Li Yin, walked up and asked with a smile: "Why is my little sister so free today?"
Liu Boji smiled and said: "Boji has not seen the emperor's sister-in-law and nephew for a long time. She misses her so much that she came uninvited!"
Liu Xiu waved his hand and motioned for the younger sister to sit down. He asked: "How is Jiyuan's health these days?"
Li Tong suffered from diabetes, which in modern terms is diabetes.
Liu Boji smiled at Liu Xiu and said, "It's much better now."
"That's good." Liu Xiu nodded with peace of mind. Then he looked at Li Yin and asked with a smile, "Is Yin'er six years old?"
Li Yinjian said abruptly: "Yes, uncle, Yin'er is already six years old!"
Liu Boji frowned and said: "Yin'er, call your Majesty!"
"Just call me uncle!" Liu Xiu looked at his little sister with dissatisfaction. We are all part of the same family, so why are we so invisible? He happily pulled Li Yin to him and asked with a smile: "What do you want Yin'er to do in the future?"
What?"
Li Yin said seriously: "In the future, Yin'er will be a general and help his uncle fight in the war!"
When Liu Xiu heard this, he laughed loudly and said to Liu Boji: "My nephew is a general!"
Liu Boji looked at Liu Xiu and Li Yin who were both laughing so hard that they couldn't see their eyes. She shook her head helplessly and corrected: "Brother, please don't listen to Yin'er's nonsense. When he grows up, the world has already been decided. What kind of war are you going to fight?"
.”
Liu Xiu pulled Li Yin, asked him to sit in his arms, and said, "Yin'er, don't listen to your mother. From now on, we will be generals!"
Li Yin was usually very afraid of his mother, but when he arrived at Liu Xiu's place, he changed from his normal behavior and nodded heavily to Liu Xiu, saying that his uncle was right and he would become a general in the future.
Liu Boji was angry and funny. She changed the topic and said, "I heard that your Majesty has detained Li Zichun now?"
Liu Xiu was startled and didn't understand why the younger sister suddenly asked about Li Zichun. He nodded and said, "Li Zichun is currently being held in Tingwei Mansion."
Liu Boji asked curiously: "Did you commit a big crime?"
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. After being detained for a while, I plan to release him." After a pause, he asked, "Why did Boji suddenly ask about this person?"
Liu Boji said: "I have met Li Zichun several times at my uncle's house, and I have a good impression of him! My uncle is old and alone in Luoyang, so he will inevitably be lonely. Li Zichun can accompany him on weekdays and amuse him.
It's also good to make uncle happy."
Although Liu Boji did not speak too directly, her intention to plead for Li Zichun was already obvious. What she said made Liu Xiu feel embarrassed.
After my younger sister arrived in Luoyang, she had hardly asked for anything from me. Now that she was begging for Li Zichun, could I refute my younger sister's reputation?
Although Liu Xiu was not completely angry with the two brothers Li Zichun and Li Ziyu, Liu Boji's words forced him to put aside his prejudices and decide to release Li Zichun and Li Ziyu.
He pondered for a moment and said: "Since Bo Ji said so, I will ask Wei Qing to let them go tomorrow."
Liu Boji smiled, leaned forward and said, "Thank you, third brother!"
Liu Xiu raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of her head, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you call me Emperor Brother this time?"
Liu Boji hurriedly raised her hand and covered her hair, fearing that it would be messed up by Liu Xiu. At the same time, she glared at him dissatisfied. Seeing this, Liu Xiu laughed. This was the normal way the two brothers and sisters had gotten along since they were young.
Yin Lihua laughed and said: "Your Majesty, please stop bullying my little sister!"
