Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 692 I Called the Sheriff for Three Things

Han Xin stretched his body, turned sideways, and lay down again.

The sun was shining brightly, and it was time for Liu Chang to eat his third meal, but Han Xin was still lying on the bed, unwilling to get up.

Outside the gate of the mansion, stood a dozen or so sheriffs. These people stood at the gate together, but they didn't dare to knock on the door. They all had bitter expressions and desperate eyes.

Lu Chan really screwed us all to death!

Liu An doesn't care who is behind the scenes, he just wants to complete this reform. Under his promotion, the county guards all think that Chao Cuo is the person behind the scenes, plus Chen Shi and Zhao Tou Chao Cuo wanted to dispose of the county guards and sought the help of the Taiwei. The Taiwei still had sympathy for them because he came from the local area, so he did not agree to Chao Cuo and chose to stand up. He came out and wanted to solve this matter with gentle means and give them a way out.

But in order to gain enough political achievements, Chao Cuo sent Lu Chan to visit the Queen Mother, so that they did not dare to meet the Taiwei, which caused them to miss the opportunity. Now, Chao Cuo can sharpen his sword and deal with them one by one.

It wasn't difficult for Chao Cuo to deal with them.

The current system of the Han Dynasty has not been fully formed. No matter which county guard is more or less able to find some criminal evidence, it mainly depends on what the temple thinks. If the temple doesn’t care, you are a capable minister. If the temple wants to deal with you, your past Every action can be used as evidence of a crime. To put it simply, the county guards standing here almost never made a move against the powerful. When they arrive at the county, they will be the first to attack the powerful. This is a rule left over from the time of Emperor Gao. If the temple is pleasing to the eye, you are a great hero for eradicating the local scum, but what if you are not pleasing to the eye?If you plunder and loot by force, you are a sinner.

Moreover, Chao Cuo had always been tough and domineering. If he was really determined to deal with the sheriff, what else could they do, to fight against the temple? ?
Is this temple really a decoration?Is the Sangong a display?

Therefore, the best solution they could find was, of course, to hurry up and find the Taiwei.

It's just that they offended the Taiwei before, and now the Taiwei didn't open the door at all, and the servants said that the Taiwei was sleeping, but how could someone sleep so late?This must be an excuse!

They stood nervously in front of the door, but they dared not talk to each other.

The carriage basically blocked this road, and they didn't dare to get in the carriage and wait, so they could only stand in the cold wind, hoping that the scorching sun in the sky would give them a little warmth, they were shivering with cold, but their hearts were constantly He cursed Lu Chan and Chao Cuo.

While they were waiting anxiously, a group of soldiers came from a distance.

The leader was a young man, looking at the mighty carriage and the trembling people standing at the door, the young man walked forward with his lips pursed, and saluted, "Greetings, my lords!"

The county guards looked at each other, and Chong Jie came out to return the salute: "There is no need to be too polite."

"It's so cold outside, you don't want to wait here."

Chongjie's heart felt hot, he never expected that there would be such kind people in this cold city of Chang'an.

"Oh, it's okay, we'll wait a little longer, young man, go about your business."

The young man nodded, and then said: "Then can you move this carriage? The carriage is blocking the street, which is illegal."

Chong Jie's face froze, he sighed, and nodded, and everyone began to order their drivers to take the car back first, while he continued to wait here.

When the young man saw that things were done here, he turned and left.

The county guards just felt sad in their hearts, that the dignified two thousand stones would be reduced to such a point.

It wasn't until the people outside were almost frozen that Han Xin got up slowly and yawned.

Only then did the servants come in hastily and report the matter to the outsider.

The Taiwei really didn't just leave them alone on purpose, they didn't quite know that the Taiwei had an unusual work and rest schedule, it was common for him to turn day and night upside down, he could do whatever he wanted, he really just slept when he wanted, and was completely unaffected. The influence of the sun and the moon. The servants think that this is probably the realm that scholars talk about when they are old and can do whatever they want.

"They still have the face to come to me??"

Han Xin's face was full of disdain, "Go tell them, let them go, stay at home and wait for the officials from Yushifu to come!"

The servant did not dare to refute, and hurried out.

The county guards were not surprised when they heard Han Xin's words. If the Taiwei opened the door of the house and welcomed them in, then they would not dare to stay any longer. It is normal for the Taiwei to be angry. Some people don't give themselves face, and even deliberately hide from themselves. If they are, I'm afraid they will be kicked out too.

Chong Jie said with a wry smile: "Can you tell the Taiwei again, we have fallen into Chao Cuo's tricks, and I feel really guilty. It is really not easy to ask the Taiwei to punish the crime and ask the Taiwei to take pity on the local officials."

Obviously, their entreaties are nothing to the Taiwei.

If it wasn't for being too hungry, the Taiwei would have to go out to drive people away now!
The sheriffs were still waiting, their stomachs rumbling.

At this moment, a carriage came slowly. It was a fairly ordinary carriage, but there were only two horses. The carriage stopped on the opposite side of the road, but no one came down. Yue reminded: "No parking is allowed here!"

A person jumped out of the carriage immediately, and then another person stepped down.

A man and a woman, the man is only about 20 years old, and the woman is obviously just a doll.

At that moment, the sheriffs were just terrified, and the sheriff who was leaning against the wall weakly could not help but straighten up, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince!!"

It turned out that the person who got out of the car was the prince Liu An, and the little girl was the princess of the Han Dynasty.

These county guards are away all year round, but they are still very clear about the affairs in Chang'an. Each county has an office in the temple, which is responsible for collecting news about the temple. This is a legal official channel and is not illegal.Liu An looked at these people in astonishment, "Why are you here?"

The sheriffs were stunned for a moment, lowered their heads, speechless.

Chong Jie smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness, you don't know something. We offended the Taiwei because of that, and today we came here to plead guilty to the Taiwei, but the Taiwei didn't want to see us."

What Chong Jie said was a mess without any real reason, but Liu An seemed to understand.

He pulled Liu Jing who was on the side, and said softly: "My younger sister grew up in the Taiwei's mansion since she was a child, and she is very close to the Taiwei. I came to the Taiwei for advice on something, so I brought her here."

Liu Jie's face was a little smelly, and when he heard what his brother said, he just pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Obviously you were the one who dragged me to see my father, crying and making noise? ?If it wasn't for the sake of buying me snacks, I would tell you now!
The little princess's face was very smelly, she turned her head away and ate her snack.

The county guards looked at each other, and suddenly had an idea, but they didn't dare to say it clearly. Finally, their eyes fell on Chong Jie. A few kind words in front of the captain."

Liu An grabbed his hand and said seriously: "What are you talking about? Can the governor of the Han Dynasty be pitied by others?!"

"You are all sent by the temple, and you have made great contributions to governing the place for my father. This incident is probably just because of the Taiwei's misunderstanding. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way after I enter the mansion, and wait for my news! "

Liu An said in a righteous manner, and the county guards were very moved at the moment.

Look at that Lu Chan, and then look at other people, they are all the nobles of the emperor, how can there be such a big difference in how to be a person?

Liu An's righteous and dignified appearance at this moment is indeed very imposing. The county guards hurriedly thanked him, but Liu An said that they don't have to worry, he will never let the hard-working officials be wronged!
It's just that this momentum can't be displayed in front of Han Xin.

Liu An grinned silly, and sat in front of Han Xin respectfully.

Han Xin didn't pay much attention to him, just looked at Liu Jing who was beside him with a smile.

"Taiwei, the matter has been successful. Now they have finally reacted and are ready to discuss this matter with you. If it is possible, it is best for you to come forward to resolve this matter. If Chao Cuo is really involved, then I don't know. How many county guards should be dismissed and how many people should be dug out? Although the big man has no shortage of officials, these county guards are already very suitable talents. Not all of them are here, if Chao Cuo is in a hurry to deal with them, the people who came later will be on guard, so you might as well come forward."

"They didn't come to see you before. They didn't despise you. They were tricked by others."

Liu Anyu explained earnestly.

But Han Xin didn't listen to his explanation at all. Han Xin never cared about any interests when doing things, he was just willful.

There is no such thing as looking at the big picture or letting go of personal grievances in Han Xin.

Liu An talked for a long time, but Han Xin didn't care about him at all, as if he didn't exist at all.

Liu An scratched his head, what should we do?
The captain of my family really did not act according to common sense. This matter has already been accomplished, the goal has been achieved, and the county guards are willing to bow their heads. At this time, why are you stubborn?
He had no choice but to look at Liu Jing for help, and Liu Jing snorted coldly.

Liu An lightly gestured with two fingers.

Only then did Liu Jie look at Han Xin, "Father!!"

Han Xin put on a straight face on purpose, "Why, do you want to help your elder brother persuade me for two pieces of candied fruit?"

Liu Jie laughed and grabbed Han Xin's beard, "When he gives it, I'll give you a piece!"

Only then did Han Xin raise his head happily, and looked at Liu An displeased, "Let them all get out!"

Liu An breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up, and hurried out.

When the county guards walked in, the Taiwei was still teasing his granddaughter, and the county guards didn't dare to sit down, they all stood in front of him, Liu An opened his mouth and asked everyone to sit down, and he himself sat down with the Taiwei side.

Then the Taiwei said coldly: "At first, I didn't want to see you at all. Anyway, I will give you another chance. Remember, this time is for my granddaughter's face. It is a special case, and there will never be a third time! "

"Thank you, Captain!!"

Everyone saluted one after another, and Han Xin continued: "Three things."

"In the future, it is not allowed to recommend officials, and it is not allowed to recruit officials. Except for the minister who founded the government, all other appointments must be decided by the temple."

The sheriffs trembled, "Wei."

"Cheng governs the prison, Wei governs military affairs, and the temple is governed by Cao's finances and county guards must not intervene."

"what??"

Several sheriffs turned pale in shock and were about to speak, but seeing Han Xin staring at them suddenly, they didn't dare to say any more, just lowered their heads, "Wei!"

"The third thing is that the governor will coordinate the localities and exercise the power of supervision. The county guards in various places must not disobey their orders."

"only."

Compared with the second one, there is really no reason to object to this one.

Han Xin looked at the dim-looking people and sneered, "I also worked in the local area, and I know your thoughts very well. I can only say that it is a bit stupid."

"This official position is not a title, and it is impossible for you to be a sheriff for the rest of your life. If you lose the title, you will look like this, I can understand it, but you can limit the official position, why are you like this? Could it be that your greatest pursuit in this life is to be in the county?" Waiting to die in the guard position?"

"Or, you have been ambitious for a long time and are ready to rise up, so you are dissatisfied with surrendering military power and adopting it?"

"Or, do you feel that you can't seek personal gain for yourself after being restricted??"

The county guards were frightened and hurriedly saluted again, "Don't dare!!"

"Don't you dare to put on a bitter face?? The position of princes and kings is hereditary. I can understand their opposition to restricting royal power. Is your official title going to be left to your son? Why do you care so much? Why, you can't make political achievements if you are restricted ? I think you have bad intentions and want to rebel!!"

"Lieutenant, there is absolutely no such thing."

"We all support change, and there is absolutely no dissent. Please be clear, we can swear to the river!!"

Liu An looked at Han Xin curiously. He still had a lot to learn. In the matter of pouring dirty water on people, the Taiwei has many characteristics worth learning. Who would dare to object if they were labeled as traitors?Wonderful, why didn't I think of this remark?
Han Xin is most concerned about efficiency when dealing with affairs. He quickly stated three points for innovation, and then asked them to come and confess to him.

Beginning with Chongjie, the county guards from all over the country have expressed their "criminal evidence", and the Taiwei immediately pardoned them, asking them to act according to Chao Cuo's method, and complete the rectification of the place as quickly as possible.

Things went smoother than Liu An thought.

This is the face of the Taiwei.

When these county guards went to see Chao Cuo in desperation, Chao Cuo put on a very regrettable look, his face was very bad, as if he was very sad because he missed the opportunity to kill them. This made the county guard They didn't even dare to have the last thought of objection. Fortunately, there is a prince, otherwise, this time it will fall into the hands of Chao Cuo.

The tragic experience of the county guards in the past few days aroused the great interest of the princes and kings. They clapped their hands and applauded. If it wasn't for the mourning period, they might have a banquet.

Just when everyone thought this incident was over, someone was listening to orders in Changle Palace.

Empress Lu looked at the trembling Old Wang in front of her, "You should have retired and returned to your hometown. But, these traitors in the court just make me uneasy. If you leave, who will deal with these traitors for me?"

Wang Tianqi said resolutely: "Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will definitely handle this matter well!"

Empress Lu sighed softly, "Speaking of which, I shouldn't have meddled in these matters. An handled this matter very well, and the county guards were also willing to accept the innovation and fully supported it. The production of that scorpion once again bore the notoriety. , but I don't care. To be able to do things for An, it's just that I bear a few more notorieties. Even an old woman can't bear such humiliation."

"Besides, today's Lu family. Although it is a family with the surname Zhong, there is not a single child who has become a child in the family, and there is no descendant with the same surname around me who can entrust important matters."

"If you don't warn me about this, once I die, the Lu family will be eaten up by someone with a heart."

Wang Tianqi nodded his head, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.

"Tian Qi, among the many ministers, I trust you the most. I am willing to entrust this matter to you. I am different from An. If things are successful, the people behind the scenes must die. Just let go Do, I will deal with the rest of the things, but don't let go of anything involved in it."

"I see. I'm going to investigate now!"

Not long after Wang Tianqi left, a group of people rushed in here. The children of Emperor Gao did not dare to get close to Empress Lu. The ones who came were Liu Yingke, king of Chu, and his son Liu Wu. And Dai Wang, Xia Wang, Bei Di Wang and several others.Empress Lu still loved the lineage of the King of Chu. She sat Liu Yingke beside her with a smile, and asked about his mother's situation. His son didn't feel bad either.

Even for Liu Wu, Empress Lu was full of approval.

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. This kid is not bad. I heard from Yang Chengyan that he also participated in the construction of Tongguan and played a lot of roles. Yang Chengyan liked him very much and even gave his book to him. he."

Hearing these words, King Xia was shocked. He had always had a little grievance with this Crown Prince of Chu, but knowing that he was quite talented in architecture, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Wu, are you still good at this? Over there, the city is being built for Emperor Xiaoren."

"Presumptuous! He is your brother!"

Empress Lu interrupted him displeased.

Only then did Liu Ci change his words, "Prince Chu, do you know how to build a city on the grassland?"

Liu Wu nodded, "Although I don't have enough talent, I still understand a little bit."

"Do you understand a little?"

Liu Ci was a little disappointed.

The King of Chu was a little unhappy, and he said proudly: "Everyone in Kanyu said that Wu is quite accomplished in this area, and he has already been able to build a city alone."

Before Liu Ci spoke, Liu Liang, who was always well-behaved, said timidly:

"That's great. When Father Zhong dies in the future, he will definitely be able to build a very comfortable royal tomb for you."
