rebirth first official

Li Jingruo slept all day and did not return to the government until the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Liu Rukang discussed with him how to deal with Song Nuo.

What Liu Rukang meant was to remove Song Nuo from his post.In any case, the riot started because of Song Nuo. If he is not dealt with, it will be difficult to convince the public. Moreover, he has already received a lot of criticism from the army and the people. When the news spread, the common people demanded that the school be withdrawn. Wei.

Li Jingruo disagreed to remove him from office.

Liu Rukang argued hard: "Even if Song Nuo didn't violate military discipline, someone must be responsible for such a big mess. Dudu Li, I know your considerations, but it's your first time as an official. You are still a little rusty. This matter is not without precedent. There have been rebellions or military rebellions caused by the tyranny of local officials before. The court will definitely remove the officials involved. No matter whether Song Nuo broke the law or not, he did make a mistake To punish him for a crime that is unfavorable under his rule is definitely not wronging him."

Li Jingruo was not annoyed when he questioned his way of handling affairs as an official, but said: "Indeed, Song Nuo, the captain, can no longer be a lieutenant. He is indeed at fault, and his fault is that he doesn't know how to work around it. But I am not speaking for him, In this matter, he must not be asked to blame."

Liu Rukang was puzzled: "Why?"

Li Jingruo said: "Once he is accused and dismissed, what will the new lieutenant do in the future? How dare he carry out military orders? Wouldn't the army become more chaotic? Soldiers know that they are not happy, as long as there is trouble , you can replace the officer, such an unhealthy trend must not be tolerated. According to me, Song Nuo, the captain, must be replaced, but he cannot be kicked out, but he must be promoted."

"What?!" Liu Rukang was shocked: "You didn't punish him, but gave him a promotion?!"

"That's right." Li Jingruo said, "Promoting him would be a vain job at worst. It would be a flattery to him, but it would actually relieve him of the military power in his hands. In this way, the new officer who was dismissed would not be too scrupulous, while the soldier I have been appeased, but I dare not be too rampant. No matter what the cause is, the following crimes should not be encouraged."

Liu Rukang thought for a moment, and felt that what Li Jingruo said made sense.It's not too biased to give Song Nuolai to Mingsheng and secretly surrender.He felt ashamed for a moment before accusing Li Jingruo of not knowing the rules in the officialdom. From this point of view, Li Jingruo knew a little better than him.

Li Jingruo asked Prefect Liu again: "Do you have any suitable positions for Song Nuo in your hand?"

Liu Rukang frowned.In any case, he didn't like Song Nuo very much, and he didn't like the cruel people under his opponent, no matter how capable they were.

Li Jingruo said: "If you encounter difficulties, just hand him over to me."

"What?" Liu Rukang was puzzled: "Give it to you? Are you planning to transfer him to another state?"

Li Jingruo said: "I'll send him to Xiangcheng."

Liu Rukang was shocked: "Xiangcheng?!" Li Jingruo had several prefectures under his jurisdiction besides Jiazhou in Sichuan. Liu Rukang originally thought that Li Jingruo planned to transfer Song Nuo to other states, but this solved his big problem. trouble.Unexpectedly, Li Jingruo planned to send Song Nuo all the way to Xiangcheng.

Li Jingruo said: "Leave him in the land of Shu, and the smart people will see him up and down, and understand what's going on. Not to mention that Song Nuo himself is difficult to deal with, the other officers and soldiers see him In the eyes, there will also be taboos, and they dare not be too strict when governing in the future, for fear that Song Nuo will be a lesson for them. They simply send him back to Xiangcheng, saying that the governor appreciates his methods of governing and wants to reuse him , sent him away in a good manner. In the army, the chief who made them fearful was replaced, and they were given some pensions, and they stopped making trouble."

Anyway, if Song Nuo, a hot potato, could be sent out of Jiazhou, Liu Rukang raised his hands in favor. Whether it was sent to other states in Shu or Xiangcheng, Li Jingruo would do whatever he wanted.

So Liu Rukang readily agreed: "Okay!"

Li Jingruo asked Liu Rukang again: "What do you plan to do with those rebels?"

On New Year's Eve, the rebel army rebelled, burned the government office, robbed a lot of property, and fled the city.Although Li Jingruo and Liu Rukang had sent people to track down the whereabouts of the rebels, but after a day, they could not find them. I am afraid that the rebels sneaked into some mountain and planned to become bandits.

Liu Rukang had a hard time: "I've thought about it, and I'd better recruit them."

Li Jingruo frowned: "You want to recruit?"

Liu Rukang said: "They were also forced into desperation. They were not mobsters at first, but ordinary people in Jiazhou Prefecture. It was because the government had not paid the military salary for a year, and the officer was too cruel. Once Song Nuo left, they were all ordinary people in Jiazhou Prefecture. They may not be willing to issue an order to recruit security. Besides, many of the guards in Jiazhou Mansion are colleagues with those rebels, and they may not be able to do it when they are asked to suppress the bandits."

However, in just over an hour, the rebels who made a fuss in the government disappeared without a trace, and none of them were caught alive. According to common sense, this matter is quite strange.However, the rebels were originally the defenders of Jiazhou Mansion, and Li Jingruo sent the rest of the defenders to chase after them. They used to get along day and night. Although they parted ways at this time, they still had affection, so they deliberately let the tiger go back to the mountain and let the rebels They all escaped.Now let the defenders arrest people, I'm afraid they will be perfunctory.

Li Jingruo shook his head again and again: "No, absolutely not! Only when the world is in chaos and the people have no rulers can the government recruit and reward them to strengthen their strength. Now the bandits and bandits near Jiazhou Prefecture are all gone, and there is only one rebel What kind of example will the army set for the outlaws if they are not severely punished for their rebellion?! Just now, Taishou Liu also said that someone must be responsible for such a major event, but the chief culprit of the rebellion is not severely punished. How can it be decent?!"

Liu Rukang hesitated and said, "What you said makes sense, but..."

Li Jingruo said: "The defenders of Jiazhou Mansion are useless, so they borrow from other states! The head of the rebel leader must be cut off and hung at the city gate for three days as a warning!"

When Liu Rukang turned his head, he saw that the usually elegant Li Jingruo had a ferocious smile on his face, and he couldn't help shivering.It is certainly hateful for those rebels to make trouble on the night of the New Year's Eve, but why does Li Dadu look like he wants to tear them apart and hurry up?Is there any hidden secret in this matter?

Liu Rukang shrank his neck: "I see, I will continue to send people to track down the traces of the rebels."

Li Jingruo said: "Go, you must not tolerate it!"

The news that Li Jingruo wanted to transfer Song Nuo to Xiangcheng soon reached Gao Zhanming's ears.

Gao Zhanming continued to manage the accounts in the room.It was not his turn to take care of the affairs of the rebel army. He wanted to finish dealing with the accounts and the backlog of prison cases quickly, and hand over the new judge after New Year's Day, and then he was ready to take up the post of county magistrate.

Yin He walked in from the outside and said in reply: "Li Dudu is back."

Gao Zhanming nodded, and asked absently, "Did he deal with Song Nuo?" Although Li Jingruo and Liu Rukang ordered the soldiers to keep their mouths shut, the cause of the defenders' rebellion was still spread among the people.Gao Zhanming had seen with his own eyes how Song Nuo beat deserters in the street, so he could probably guess what was going on?

Yinhe said: "My slave heard people say that Dudu Li plans to promote him and transfer him to Xiangcheng."

Gao Zhanming was startled, and quickly put down the pen in his hand: "Send Song Nuo back to Xiangcheng?"

Yinhe said: "That's what the slave heard. What's going on, I'd better ask the governor myself."

Gao Zhanming put down his work and walked out.

Li Jingruo was reviewing official documents in the room, when he saw Gao Zhanming coming in, he immediately pushed all the things on the table aside with a happy smile, and patted the place next to him: "Sit here."

Gao Zhanming sat down beside him and said, "I heard that you plan to send Song Nuo to Xiangcheng? Why?"

Li Jingruo said: "Song Nuo is a guy who can't achieve great things, but he is not incapable of doing things. On New Year's Eve, the rebels set fire to the government house, and he immediately organized the defenders to counterattack. I see the officers and soldiers under his command go to fight the fire. , are really well-trained, if it weren't for them, I'm afraid the government would burn even more."

Gao Zhanming said: "Indeed, he is just not suitable for Jiazhou Mansion."

Li Jingruo said: "I heard that he had led the army in Annan in the past, and because he offended the officials of the Annan Governor's Mansion, he was demoted to the Jiazhou Mansion. He just doesn't know how to change things, and he won't close him when he gets here. People's hearts, in the end, the people under him didn't accept him and made such a big rebellion. It's really a pity. If it wasn't for the natural disaster, maybe he would be a good captain."

Gao Zhanming stared at him for a while, and tentatively said: "Xiangcheng is rich and there is no locust plague, so you sent him to Xiangcheng?"

Li Jingruo just smiled, but didn't answer.

Gao Zhanming was suddenly startled.Xiangcheng's military strength is not large, and almost all the military power in the country is gathered in the hands of a few Jiedu envoys. Xiangcheng has only tens of thousands of troops, and it must have had its own system for so many years.Li Jingruo sent Song Nuo back to Xiangcheng, unless it was really for the purpose of confiscating his military power, otherwise... Then Song Nuo had fought a real battle, Li Jingruo sent him back, if it was for him to lead the army...

The more Gao Zhanming thought about it, the more frightened he became.How much ambition did Li Jingruo hide?What is his so-called family business?Could it be that Xiangcheng...

Li Jingruo saw Gao Zhanming's face change a few times, and waved his hand in front of his eyes: "Jun Liang?"

Gao Zhanming suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Li Jingruo hesitantly, and didn't ask anything.

Li Jingruo said: "What are you so preoccupied with?"

Gao Zhanming said: "A good knife should be used on the cutting edge, right?"

Li Jingruo was stunned, and even smiled: "I have a good knife here, I wonder if brother Jun Liang can cut it for me?"

Gao Zhanming rolled his eyes: "Drive it yourself."

Li Jingruo laughed loudly, leaned forward and said narrowly, "I'm still short of 40 taels of silver..."

Gao Zhanming stuffed the writing brush he dropped back into his hand: "I'm going out first, so I won't disturb the governor's official duties."

Li Jingruo pouted.

Gao Zhanming took two steps, but couldn't help but look back.Li Jingruo was staring at him with a warm smile on his face, his eyes met, Gao Zhanming looked away again.

This matter... probably he thought too much.

Gao Zhanming shook his head, opened the door and went out.
