Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 364

When the officials of Shu County came to greet Chen Mai with a smile, Chen Mai didn't even get off the car.

Chen Mai obviously didn't have the consciousness of not reaching out and not hitting the smiling face. On the contrary, he was very arrogant. Not only did he reach out to hit, but he wanted to kick with his foot. He sat proudly in the car and said disdainfully: "Shu County is turbulent and treacherous. It's all because of you incompetent officials!"

With just one sentence, the officials who came to greet him lost their smiles.

Jun Cheng was an elderly man with a frown and looked very serious. Facing Chen Mai's rudeness, the man couldn't help it, and he said loudly: "I followed Emperor Gao to the battlefield. , not to be humiliated by a child like you!"

This person is obviously also a marquis, because Chen Ping is still alive, so Chen Mai's title is almost as high as his, and it is not enough to make him surrender.

Hearing this man talk back, Chen Mai stood up angrily and asked, "Do you know who my grandfather is?"

The old man snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You have to ask your grandmother!"

Faced with such humiliation, Chen Mai immediately ordered, "Come here, arrest this fellow and kill him with disrespect!"

The officials panicked immediately and stepped forward to plead guilty for the county chief.

They never thought that a ceremony to welcome the new governor would turn out like this, isn't it the son of the Marquis Qu Ni?Young and smart?That's it? ?

Chen Mai left them with a very bad first impression. In the face of everyone's dissuasion, Chen Mai refused to give up and insisted on putting the prince to death. However, none of the soldiers did anything, and they were all silent. These soldiers actually refused to obey their orders, Chen Mai seemed a little panicked, and threatened him again in the name of his grandfather.

At this time, everyone seemed to see the new county guard in front of him.

The rumors are wrong, isn't this a playboy who relies only on his father's reputation and is ignorant? ?

Once he found out that his father's reputation was useless, he would be useless.

Chen Mai had to prevaricate this matter, saying that he was magnanimous, which directly exposed his incompetence. Among the officials, some people were worried and some were overjoyed.

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Mai was surrounded by the officials, talking loudly about his grandfather's deeds. His words were full of praise for his grandfather. He frowned and said nothing, showing his dissatisfaction and resistance to this new county governor, and many people followed Chen Mai, constantly praising Chen Mai's grandfather.

"Hahaha, if my grandfather was here, this place would have been governed by more than Chang'an!"

"If my grandfather was here, the road would definitely be smooth!"

"If my grandfather were here."

In just over an hour, Chen Mai gained a good name in Shu County, and everyone called him the "My Father" county governor, because the most frequently spoken word by the county governor was how my father was. How, surrounded by officials, Chen Mai came to the seat of Shu County.

The seat of Shujun is Chengdu County, and it is also a big city established in Qin Dynasty, but Chen Mai disliked this city very much.

When he saw the government office where he was working, he complained again: "This place is not as good as my Chang'an residence!"

Chen Ping's reputation in Shu County was shattered.

The officials of Shu County have never hated a county governor so much, even the last one who was arrested for corruption would not be as incompetent as Chen Mai.Chen Mai's incompetence constantly refreshed their three views. On the first day that Chen Mai arrived, he ambitiously expressed that he wanted to govern Shu County.

He was one of my grandfathers, and proposed to develop agriculture and mulberry in order to govern Shu County.

But he didn't have the slightest knowledge about how to develop Nong Sang, and even foolishly said that if all the people were to be mobilized to cultivate land, Nong Sang would be able to develop.

The old Juncheng almost clenched his teeth, and the officials also found that this guy has no ability or even courage other than saying my grandfather. The Juncheng humiliated him like that. You don't have the qualifications to be a playboy, where can there be such a soft playboy?

Chen Mai was worried about this for a while, and determined to do that for a while, but, as an ambitious and talented dude, he couldn't do anything, and he was even very ignorant and didn't know anything. The merchants in Shu County waited for a long time, and finally someone Tried to buy the new county governor, and the result was surprisingly smooth.

It didn't take long for Chen Mai to hand over all government affairs to others, while he took bribes, watched dancers, and drank for fun, which simply broke the record of the worst guard in Dahan County.

This kind of behavior directly divided the officials of Shu County into two parts. One of them was headed by the old governor, who was resolutely opposed to Chen Mai, and kept writing to the temple, impeaching and exposing his crimes, and asking the temple to punish him severely. Seriously doing things, unwilling to flatter, and hating Chen Mai incomparably.

The other part is to flatter Chen Mai all day long, deceive Chen Mai with all kinds of false government affairs, enrich his personal pockets, and contact businessmen who want to continue to climb up through Chen Mai. These people are headed by the prefect.

This kind of day lasted for a while, and the thriving situation of the whole Shu County was suddenly interrupted. Traitors were in power, government affairs were chaotic, merchants paid bribes, officials ran rampant, and all those beasts hidden in the dark showed their fangs and went crazy. sucking the blood of the people.

And Chen Mai also quickly gained weight, the whole person's footsteps are vain, and he looks like his body has been hollowed out by the color of wine.

The impeachment against Chen Mai flew into Chang'an like a snowflake, and finally landed in front of Chen Ping.

The officials in the young mansion were silent, looking at the dark-faced Marquis Qu Ni, they all felt that it was not appropriate to ask him what to do now.

There are too many reports to impeach Chen Mai, and there are all kinds of crimes. If these crimes are all established, it will be enough to punish all three of his clans.

But Chen Mai, these officials all know, doesn't look like someone who can do this, is it because the sky is high and the emperor is far away? ?
Chen Ping frowned and pondered for a moment, then picked up these playing sheets, got up and walked in the direction of Xuan Shi Hall.

"What?? Taking bribes?? Bullying the people? Forming parties for personal gain?? Selling weapons?? Conspiracy??"

Liu Chang flipped through the records of impeachment against Chen Mai in front of him, his eyes widened, and he was stunned.

Liu Chang was furious, frowned, and said viciously: "Marquis Qu Ni! Because of him, your clan will be executed!!"

Hearing Liu Chang's threat, Chen Ping's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "If he dared to do this, he must have informed His Majesty in advance. Why should His Majesty scare the minister again?"

Liu Chang suddenly put away his fierce expression, and said with some frustration: "I know I can't hide it from you, so what if you pretended to be afraid to make me happy? Why is this?"

Chen Ping smiled, "If the minister pretends to be afraid, I'm afraid that His Majesty will be really afraid."

Liu Chang scratched his head, "Okay, he told me what he did. The officials there. If you hide under water, you must first identify their identities. This is a last resort."

"Yeah. It's a pity that the old man's lifelong fame."

Just when everything in Shu Jun was about to get out of control, Chen Mai sent someone to call the old Jun Cheng and others into his study.

No one doubted this order, because Chen Mai often sent people to call them over to humiliate them, and everyone was accustomed to his absurdity.

But this time, Chen Mai didn't go any further.

He stood up straight, and he could no longer see the slightest arrogance on his face, as if he had changed himself.

"You gentlemen, this is my Hufu Shu County gang of thieves, killing thieves for the country, just today!!!"

Chen Mai didn't explain a word, just said this seriously.

But at this moment, these officials who had always opposed Chen Mai suddenly realized.

The old prince was speechless for a long time, and he wasn't even sure whether he wanted to kill a thief or just find a reason to kill himself. After all, Chen Mai's acting was too similar.

The carnival of Shu County officials ended on this day. Shu County soldiers and embroidered clothes set off at the same time. In one night, from the county captain to Lizheng, from merchants to generals, more than 6000 people were arrested, and more than 4000 people were arrested. People were killed, and when the people in Chengdu woke up the next day, the whole street was filled with blood, and they could smell a strong smell of blood.

Shu County was shaken up and down, and Chen Mai once again summoned the officials and announced his plan to govern Shu County next, and no one dared to object again.

The old Juncheng came to apologize to Chen Mai with his upper body naked and tied with thorns. Chen Mai personally helped him up, and the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.

The old Juncheng smiled embarrassedly, "Governor, please don't blame me. In these days, I have scolded you a lot mainly because you are too similar in acting. How can you be so similar?"

Chen Mai pondered for a moment, then said, "I probably have seen it a lot."

Chen Mai convinced Shu County through camouflage and thunder, and also completed the inspection of Shu County and formulated many development strategies.

But here, things are not so complicated.

When Guan A led a group of elite cavalry to Jiangzhou County, the seat of Berkshire, the officials who greeted him here were stunned.

These cavalrymen are fully armed and murderous. Which county governor can have such an armament?Even the prince can't have a private army of this scale, right? ?
When the officials carefully inquired about the situation of these soldiers, the general explained his intention for the second time.

"We came here to arrest the thieves under the order of the prime minister. When the thieves are caught, we will return to Changsha."

When the wily officials heard this, they immediately understood that this was Guanying sending someone to protect their son!
Jun Cheng asked cautiously: "We can all understand Guanhou's painstaking efforts, but, if he did this, if the emperor knew about it."

"Oh, our equipment was given by the emperor. The emperor asked us to arrest the thieves here. He said that if someone shelters the thieves, they can also contact the local embroidered clothes and kill them."

Then it will be fine.

The officials immediately understood the general situation. Who will obstruct the Guanjun guard and who will protect the bandits?
Guan Ah, who was not very confident in himself originally, was surprised to find that he was really capable.

Since he came to Berkshire, those officials who neglected government affairs have changed. They have become very diligent, working on errands for themselves all day long. Not fooling themselves, the merchants donated their family property one after another, and all they saw were happy, joyful and upright faces.

Guan A immediately began to govern Berkshire wholeheartedly. After he took those cavalry to patrol around the country, the situation in Berkshire was suddenly changed, and everyone praised the ability of the new county governor. They all expressed their desire to help him manage Berkshire!Be sure to let him rise early and get out of here!

Even the vicious Southwest Yi, who often rebelled on weekdays, came to see Guan A with a smile, daring not to be arrogant and arrogant.

Guan A shook his head and said that Bashu is difficult to govern. It seems that the rumors are wrong. Isn't this easy to govern? ?
The two counties adopted different methods, all in the direction of Liu Chang.

And Xiao Yan finally came to Dian Kingdom.

The ministers here welcomed him very warmly, but, unlike the situation in Bashu, the monarchs here looked at Xiao Yan with more vigilance. They were all afraid of being seized of power, and also worried about this. A congress sent by a big Han attacked them and controlled the entire temple.

Xiao Yan entered the royal capital after paying homage to them.

In the following days, Xiao Yan did nothing.

Almost all the monarchs of the Dian Kingdom were waiting for his next move. The more Xiao Yan did nothing, the more worried they became, because they heard about the affairs of Shu County, and they were all afraid that this was a Shu County guard. ruthless man.

But it turns out that they seem to think too much. After Xiao Yan arrived, he did nothing. He occasionally met the King of Dian, met his vassals, had a meal, and participated in a court meeting. Whether he came or not came, there was nothing at all. any difference.

The monarchs gradually put down their guard, and at the same time, they also accepted Xiao Yan as a state minister. After all, Xiao Yan does not have any conflict of interest with them now, on the contrary, in some aspects, Xiao Yan can still help them, such as Dahan funding, some conflicts between princes, etc.

After officially confirming his status, Xiao Yan proposed the idea of ​​sending someone to look outside the Dian Kingdom.

The monarchs will naturally not object. The Prime Minister has such a small wish, do you want to let him down?

Unconsciously, Xiao Yan took the place of the original Dian King, and he was the one that all the monarchs were looking forward to the most. No matter what, he occasionally made one or two unreasonable demands. He had no desire for power and would not murder. They, this is simply a perfect king, if he hadn't been sent by the Han, he should have supported him on the throne! ! !

In the Xuan chamber hall, Liu Chang couldn't help laughing when he looked at the playlist from the southwest.

Then he showed it to Zhao Mei, who looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but admire: "Your Majesty knows people, and there is no one in the world!"

"The three people you sent have really lived up to your trust and have done a lot of things."

Liu Chang grinned, "Do you know why my grandfather was able to take over the world in the first place? It's because he knows how to employ people! The officials in Shu County are treacherous, and people like Chen Mai are needed to govern them. The situation in Berkshire is not as good as that of Shu. The county is so serious, but there are many barbarians, and there are many differences between officials. Those cavalry can help Guan A to suppress them, and Guan A is generous and can gather all these people around him. As for the Dian Kingdom, there are many monarchs, but few people. And they are too lazy to kill Xiao Yan one by one, it will most make them feel at ease and allow them to continue to be happy for the big man."

Liu Chang proudly said his reasons, and Zhao Mei was convinced.

Immediately he asked again, "Then, according to Your Majesty, what official position should I hold?"

Liu Chang said without hesitation: "Actually, it is the most suitable for you to be the governor of Cangwu County, but sooner or later, you will inherit the throne of Nanyue King, so you don't have to think about it."

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Mei pondered for a while, thinking about the sturdy body of the eldest father, if he wants to inherit the throne, it is more reliable to go to Cangwu to be the county governor.

Speaking of the eldest father, Zhao Mo remembered his letter to himself, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the King of Nanyue has arrived in Huainan at this moment."

After Liu Chang ascended the throne, the old man stopped pretending, no longer the old man who was about to die of illness, and hurriedly sent someone to tell Liu Chang that he was going to Chang'an to meet the new emperor.

"Heh, this old man ran very fast. Didn't he say that he would die soon? Why is he so fast?"

Zhao Mo replied with a smile: "The eldest father said that his life is not long, but in fact, it is a reason for His Majesty to say that the Tang country is poor."

"But Tang country is already poor. You don't know that when I think of the people of Tang country, my heart is like a knife!"

Liu Chang said with grief, suddenly raised his head again, and asked, "I wonder if the King of Nanyue might be generous? Save some of the people of Tang?"

"Your Majesty ascends the throne, the King of Nanyue will definitely not come empty-handed"

"That's good, that's good. The old man is fortunate to be running all the way. I will instruct the officials along the road to take good care of him."

When he came out of the Hall of Houde, Liu Chang almost bumped into Liu Qi who was running.

Liu Qi's face was full of surprises. He widened his eyes and held a letter in his hand. He grabbed Liu Chang's sleeve and said, "Father Zhong?! Is what Father said to me true? I am true. Are you going to be the king of the Western Regions?!"

Liu Chang looked at this unpromising Youzi with disdain, "It's just the land of ten thousand households, see how excited you are!"

Liu Qi shook his head and said seriously: "Father Zhong, I'm not excited because I was crowned king, I'm just excited because I have the opportunity to display my talents. Father Zhong, please make me king now and let me go to the Western Regions. Well, I will never make you regret it, I will definitely worship with the head of the porridge."

"Crack~~~"

Before Liu Qi's words were finished, Liu Chang came up to his head.

"If you dare to worship me again, I will sacrifice you first!"

Liu Qi didn't dare to speak anymore, he just looked at Liu Chang eagerly. Liu Chang had never seen this silly child so excited.

"Kai. I tell you, the Western Regions are different from what you think, they are very far away, once you pass by, I'm afraid that you may not see each other once in ten years. Besides, the language and customs there Unlike here, I can't give you many soldiers, everything needs to be done by yourself, and those barbarians will definitely not obey you completely."

Liu Chang seriously explained the difficulties there. To be honest, it is difficult for anyone to accept the seal to the Western Regions. This is not a reward, but a punishment. It is only Liu Qi, a foolish boy, who is so excited, thinking about himself. He can show his talent, and Liu Chang understands him very well. At Liu Qi's age, Liu Chang is also like this, thinking that he can easily govern Tang.

But Liu Chang's words seemed to Liu Qi to be a challenge that he was willing to break through, and he was even more excited to hear it.

"That's it, that's it, this is where I'm going!"

"Father Zhong!! I am willing to guard the northwest for you. Anyone who wants to advance to Chang'an must kill me first, and then kill Xiang, before they can come to Chang'an!"
