After the autumn of last year, Chang'an City began to develop construction projects. It must be the real capital city. However, the Han Dynasty has a vast territory, and the news from Jiangnan has to be reported to Chang'an. Even if you use Meteor Kuaima, it will be back and forth. After several days of work, the transportation of personnel and materials has become even slower. Liu Xin’s plan is to set up a Nanjing left-behind yamen in Moling. As long as it is not particularly important, it can be left to the left-behind department to handle it. Not only that, except for a small amount of money and grain levied every year in the Jiangnan area, most of it can be stored in Nanjing and used for disaster relief and construction in the Jiangnan area.
More importantly, the Jiangnan area is sparsely populated, and the economy and culture are relatively backward. The construction of a central city here can not only stimulate local development, but also stabilize the hearts and minds of the people who migrated from the north.
Jushou has followed Liu Xin for a long time, so he knows Liu Xin’s ruling ideas very well, and Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others are also extremely smart people.
Zhang Zhao let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Please rest assured, your subordinates will build Moling into the premier metropolis in the southeast."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Mr. Zibu's talents, Liu is assured, pack up, and you will go to work tomorrow."
Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Yu Fan agreed together.
Mi Zhu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stepped forward and said, “I’ll give you my lord, all the refugees from Xuzhou have been properly settled, and the subordinates should also retreat.”
Zhang Zhao and the others were appointed as the governor. That was the chief executive of a prefecture. However, Mi Zhu is an upright gentleman. He will not be jealous because of this incident. He really feels that it is no longer necessary for him to stay in Jiangnan. ,
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Mr. Zizhong joked, you are now far away from your success. Liu plans to appoint you as the Minister of the Household Department to be in charge of the world's business. I don’t know if Zizhong is willing to take on this important task. "
Although Zhang Zhao had also heard of Liu Xin’s setting up of six departments, but he didn’t know much about it, but Mi Zhu lived in Xiangyang for a period of time. He was much more aware of the situation than Zhang Zhao and others. The Ministry of Households was responsible for managing the world’s finances and taxes. An important organization of money and food, and You Shilang is the third in command of the household department. He is in charge of the third grade official position and is in charge of the world's commerce. He is right in line with Mi Zhu's expertise, and he immediately takes the order.
Suddenly, Jushou's heart moved, and he folded his hands and said, "I know the lord Qi, there is one more person, I don’t know how the lord wants to be arranged,"
Liu Xin was taken aback, and immediately laughed: "Gongyou, you are talking about Liu Bei, right?"
Suddenly hearing a "choking", Guan Yu suddenly drew out his saber and said loudly: "Dare to ask the lord, where is Liu Bei now?"
Seeing Guan Yu drawing their swords in their hands, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yun and others also drew their swords. Xu Chu waved the swords in his hands and stopped in front of Liu Xin. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. No wonder, because Liu Bei All the generals knew about the marriage with Guan Yu as brothers, and they were afraid that Guan Yu would do something unfavorable to Liu Xin.
Liu Xin waved his hand to make everyone retreat, and said to Guan Yu, "What does Yun Chang mean?"
Regardless of everyone's suspicion, Guan Yu stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Please give Guan a chance, and Guan will kill this villain himself."
Liu Xin's eyes widened, unable to believe that these words came from Guan Yu's mouth, but he was quickly relieved, now and then, due to his arrival, many things in this world have changed. Let's talk about it. Now, Liu Bei’s hypocrisy has been exposed by him. How can he continue to convince the loyal Guan Yu? From the fact that Guan Yu calls Liu Bei a villain, it can be seen that Guan Yu is completely disappointed with Liu Bei.
Jushou laughed and said: "General Guan calmed down his anger, Liu Bei rescued Young Master Liu Bang, and took the initiative to abandon the dark and cast out, killing is ominous. I hope the general will think twice."
Liu Xin thought for a while, and said, "Take a step back and endure the calmness of the sky for a while. Don't be impulsive about the cloud length, so let's go, Yunchang, you and Wen Yuan avoid it first. I have a few words to ask Liu Bei face to face."
Guan Yu was Liu Bei’s former brother-in-law, and Liu Bei’s concubine Gan Mei was given to Zhang Liao by Liu Admiration. The presence of these two people would always be a little embarrassing. Guan Yu held the sword for a long time before he bit the sword back into the sword bitterly. She retired, but Liu Xin called Zhang Liao to whisper again, and Zhang Liao also turned around and walked out of the hall.
After another moment, Liu Bei walked into the hall and gave a salute to Liu Xin. He also met with all the civil and military personnel in the hall. He also exchanged a few words with his old acquaintance Mi Zhu. Liu Bei didn’t say anything, as if he was already One of them,
In the past few days, Liu Bei has been placed in a small courtyard next to the Taishou Mansion. Although good wine and food are indispensable every day, he is closely guarded by personal guards. He really can't take a step out of this small courtyard, which is like house arrest. However, at this time, there was no trace of grievance or resentment on Liu Bei’s face, showing the depth of this man’s city.
Liu Xin watched Liu Bei's performance ended, and then said: "Xuande, Yuan Shu has already been punished, what are your plans for the future?"
Liu Bei leaned forward and said, "I am willing to follow the adults and do my best to unify the big man."
Liu Xin laughed and said, "Liu has always rewarded and punished clearly, and Liu will reward you for your contributions. However, before that, there are two things that need to be clarified."
Liu Bei said humbly: "It is an inescapable responsibility to save the eldest son. I dare not take credit for it. If you have anything to do, please tell me to do my best."
Liu Xin's face became serious and said, "Previously, Liu broke through Xuzhou and captured your family members. She has been given to General Wen Yuan. If this matter is not clear, you will have a hard time getting along with Wen Yuan in the future."
Men have self-esteem. Although Gan Mei is just a concubine, he was admired by Liu to give Zhang Liao. This is also a great insult to Liu Bei. Liu Xin's words are very clear. If Liu Bei can't let go of this knot, Liu Xin is not. Liu Bei knows that he can use him. If Liu Xin is asked to make a choice between him and Zhang Liao, Liu Xin will definitely choose Zhang Liao instead of him. The meaning of Liu Xin’s question is very clear, that is, let him Take the initiative to give up Ganmei,
If this happens to other men, they will be somewhat embarrassed or hesitant or even angry, but Liu Bei seems to have nothing to do with him at all, and said lightly: "Return to your lord, I always think that brothers are like brothers and sisters, and wives. Such as the clothes, the clothes are torn, they can be sewn, their hands and feet are broken, and they can be continued. Now that the adults have given the Gan to General Wenyuan, I wish them a long life together."
Liu Xin has heard of this "sounding truth" for a long time. Now, listening to Liu Bei's own words and looking at his serious expression still shocked Liu Xin. At this time, behind the screen on the left side of the hall, Gan Mei was crying silently. ,
Just now Liu Xin whispered to Zhang Liao and asked Zhang Liao to take Ganmei behind the screen to observe. Liu Xin did this not to embarrass Ganmei, but for his intentions. Liu Xin had already discussed with Jushou that day. , For the time being, Liu Bei cannot be killed. Not only cannot he be killed, but a suitable official position must be arranged for him.
Gan Mei is Liu Bei’s concubine, but now she is married to Zhang Liao. If she still has Liu Bei in her heart and Liu Bei has a deep affection for her, Liu Xin can only persuade Zhang Liao to give up. Of course, if Liu Bei does it for herself Abandoning Ganmei can relieve Zhang Liao’s worries, but Liu Xin did not expect Liu Bei to speak out his own "theory" that has been passed down through the ages.
Zhang Liao came with Mi Zhen and Gan Mei. Hearing Liu Bei's "fallacy", he clenched his fists tightly. After a while, he said to Mi Zhen and Gan Mei: "Don't worry, Zhang will never do that. Shameless people will take good care of your life,"
Mi Zhen also persuaded: "Sister don't cry, it's not worth crying for such a man,"
In fact, Mi Zhen is a few years younger than Gan Mei, but when she is a regular wife, Gan Mei wants to call her sister. Gan Mei wiped the tears from her face and squeezed out a smile and said, "Don’t worry, my sister understands. tight,"
The faint voice of the woman crying and chattering behind the screen made Liu Bei amazed in his heart. It must be Gan Mei eavesdropping. Thinking of Gan Mei’s gentle and jade-like body, Liu Bei felt a pain, and his woman was destined to do so. He looks like a stranger, but Liu Bei is a man who does great things. He pretends very well. There is no change on his face. He silently lowers his hands, waiting for Liu Xin to continue to ask questions.
Liu Xin scolded "shamelessly" secretly, and continued: "Since Xuande has figured it out, even if this matter is over, there is one more thing. Guan Yu has now voted under Liu Mou's, but between him and you There seems to be a holiday,"
Liu Bei is still quite confident about the friendship between Guan Yu and him. Hearing Liu Xin mentioning Guan Yu, he finally showed a smile on his face and said, "I don't know where the problem is, but I think that I will end up with Yun. It's a brother, even if there is a little misunderstanding, Yun Chang will not take it to heart."
Guan Yu couldn't help it for a long time. The "teng" jumped out from behind the screen on the right, pointing at Liu Bei and shouting angrily: "You shameless villain, if you didn't look at the Lord, Guan Mou will surely smash you today. segment,"
Liu Bei didn't expect that Guan Yu would hate him so much. He couldn't help taking a step back and said, "Chang Yun, there is something hard to say between you and my brothers, you are..."
Guan Yu interrupted him unceremoniously, and said: "You said just now that you have broken hands and feet, and An Ke can be continued. Guan and you have long been cut off, and what brothers are you still talking about?"
After killing Liu Bei, he couldn't figure out why Guan Yu was so unfeeling, so he had to say, "If this is the case, I don't dare to climb high."
Liu Xin saw that Liu Bei's remarks were a little unsatisfactory, and his eyes flickered when he looked at him. He clearly hated that he had separated their brothers. Just now, when he said that he gave his concubine to Zhang Liao, Liu Bei was all Without such eyes, it seems that Liu Bei is consistent with his words and deeds, and his attitude towards brothers is better than that towards women.
But where did Liu Xin take Liu Bei’s grudge to her heart, waved her hand, and said, "In this case, Liu will be relieved, Xuande, Liu will now appoint you to engage in literature in my Han Dynasty."
