Seeing Zhen Mi's indifferent look, Liu Xin had to shook her head helplessly, waiting to ask her about studying, and suddenly heard a report from a guard outside the door: "Your Majesty Enlightenment, General Dian begs to see you."
It turned out that after Dianwei escorted Cao Cao and others back to Chang'an, he was concerned about the battle in Yecheng and led the soldiers to Starry Night. Unexpectedly, the battle in Yecheng was over, and even Yuan Shao was captured alive. Dianwei had no chance to fight, so he had to come to meet Liu Xin angrily.
Liu Xin patted Dianwei on the shoulder and laughed: "Evil comes, no matter Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they are all Han people. What's the point of hitting one's own person? If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely let you deal with foreign captives. Perform well on the battlefield!"
Dian Wei only swept away the depression just now, patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, you must not break your promise!"
"You my brother, when did I lie to you?" Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to Chang'an."
Hearing that he could set off, Zhen Mi showed a smile on his face and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you must not break your promises about the things you promised the citizens."
Dian Wei noticed that there was a delicate little beauty standing in the yard. He couldn't help but look up at Liu Xin, then at Zhen Mi, with a big grin.
Knowing that he would be wrong, Liu Xin gave him an angry look, waved his hand and said, "Okay, pack up, get ready to go!"
Two days later, the group finally arrived in Chang'an. After entering the capital, Zhen Mi was inconvenient to follow Liu Xin, and Zi and a few old servants went to the city to find a place to settle down.
Probably because he was an orphan since he was a child, his family is the most important place in Liu Xin's mind. The first thing he did when he returned to the capital was to visit his wife and children in the harem. The palace is so big that it won't be like it used to be. Everyone lives in several nearby courtyards. Ma Yun and Bian Yu have their own palaces.
Hearing that Liu Xin was back, Bian Yu and the others greeted them first, but they also saved Liu Xin from running around. It's just that Liu Xin looked around, but he didn't see Ma Yun and Zhu Rong. He couldn't help but wondered: "The queen doesn't know that I have come back yet?"
Bian Yu covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't know anything. Today is the day for the empress to try the case. I went to Chang'an County Office with sister Zhu Rong early this morning."
Liu Xin was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What does Chang'an Ling do, and why does it need the queen to try the case in person? And Zhu Rong, she doesn't understand anything, why should she join in the fun?"
"Your Majesty, the reputation of Empress Empress in Chang'an City is now very loud. Several headless cases were solved by Empress Empress. Sister Zhu Rong went to protect Empress Empress." Bian Yu's face suddenly faded. Said quietly, "It's just that the concubines are useless, but they can't help your Majesty."
As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an had a special status. Liu Xin could not choose a suitable county magistrate for a while, so he was handed over to Cheng Yu. It turns out that as the population of Chang'an is increasing day by day, many cases are mixed, and various cases are gradually increasing. Cheng Yu has no problem dealing with government affairs, but solving cases is not his strong point. Many cases have already been accumulated.
After Liu Xin left Chang'an, Jushou, Tian Feng and others still habitually asked Ma Yun for instructions when they encountered important matters, and Cheng Yu was no exception.
Seeing the more and more cases at hand, Cheng Yu was a little distressed, so he took the initiative to ask Ma Yun for punishment. However, Ma Yun knew that these people were all great heroes who helped Liu Xin seize the world. As originally scheduled today, these people still need to continue their efforts, and they don't want others to misunderstand Liu Xin's bird to hide his bow. Naturally, he won't be punished by Cheng Yu. But with so many cases to deal with, Ma Yun asked Cheng Yu to send all the files to the palace, and she had to go through it herself.
It didn't matter if she looked at it, Ma Yun couldn't help but recall the past bit by bit, and couldn't help but use her expertise to try the case. After all, it is a professionally trained person. In Cheng Yu's eyes, a confused case is always solved in Ma Yun's hands. Gradually, Cheng Yu will report to Ma Yun for any unsolvable case in Chang'an.
It is inevitable to go to the scene to investigate the case, but Ma Yun is a queen, and it is impossible to enter and leave the palace at any time, so he set the rules, every month on the sixth, sixteenth, and twenty-sixth three days of the month, as she went out of the palace to settle the case. Days. Today happened to be twenty-six, so Ma Yun left the palace early in the morning. Zhu Rong was also a temperament who couldn't help himself. He was suffocated in the palace all day long. Hearing that Ma Yun was about to go out of the palace to settle the case, Zhu Rong offered to serve as a bodyguard for Ma Yun.
In fact, Bian Yu and the others are not pampered ladies. Liu Xin is usually busy with work and does not discipline his children much. Bian Yu and the others are responsible for education. However, Liu Xin still heard the slight sourness in Bian Yu's words, and couldn't help but smile: "You and the queen are my dearest people. As long as you are happy every day, you are the greatest help to me. The first thing I will do when I come back this time is to fix your names."
As long as it is a woman, there is a little vanity, even Zhu Qian, who has always been humbled by her status, bowed her head and lifted her clothes, listening nervously to Liu Xin's following.
But Liu Xin said: "The canonization should have been done a long time ago, but the name has to wait for the queen to come back to discuss it, and you will wait for the good news for these two days."
At this time, news of Liu Xin's return to Beijing also spread. After receiving the news, Ma Yun and Zhu Rong stopped the case and hurried back.
In this era, without some advanced technical means, solving a case is a very troublesome thing, otherwise the government will not use heavy torture at every turn. Seeing Ma Yun's haggard face, Liu Xin couldn't help complaining: "My wife, just leave this kind of thing to the people below..."
Although Ma Yun was exhausted, she was still excited. She interrupted Liu Xin's words and said, "You don't know, now the people of Chang'an call me the Bigfoot Ma Niangniang, saying that I have judged the case like a god and beat the sky."
Liu Xin knew that being a policeman was Ma Yun’s wish. Now that she finally had this opportunity, she would never let it go. So she stopped persuading and said, “Then you don’t have to work so hard in the future. Go a few more times a month and cut a few cases each time. I suggest you start a school instead."
Ma Yun caressed his hands and said, "This is a good idea. I will inform Cai Yong tomorrow to make some preparations."
Liu Xin smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about running the school. I want to discuss with you the names of Bian Yu and the others."
Ma Yun said without hesitation: “I’ve already thought about this. Bian Yu and Cai Yan are noble concubines. Zhu Qian’s temperament is gentle and can be called Shun concubine. Cai Jue is weak on the surface, but she was trying to protect Yu'er. She really gave up her sex, she is really strong, I want to make her Concubine Lie. Zhu Rong is a descendant of Vulcan, but can be named Yan Concubine. Diao Chan Shanwu, so let her be a Concubine Wu."
Liu Xin laughed and said, "It's still my wife who thinks well, husband, I will take care of you tonight."
Ma Yun rolled her eyes and said, "Huh, I want to do all the good things. Honestly, have you done bad things these days."
Liu Xin smirked: "You'll know if you check it at night."
Little don't win the newlyweds, it goes without saying that the husband and wife have sex this night. However, the next day, when Liu Xin walked into the hall in a refreshing manner and told Jushou and others about the canonization plan proposed by Ma Yun and asked him to formulate his decree, he encountered strong opposition. The opposition mainly focused on Zhu Qian and Diao Chan. Zhu Qian married Liu Xin as a widow, and Diaochan, who was a maid in Wang Yun's mansion, was exchanged for a box of porcelain by Cai Yan, and her identity was even more humble. Therefore, the ministers almost unanimously objected to making her two concubines.
Liu Xin immediately said displeasedly: "This is my family affair, can't I even do this for the Lord?"
Chen Gong folded his hands and said: "Return to your Majesty, the Emperor's House is selfless!"
Of course Liu Xin couldn't be wronged by her own woman, so she couldn't help but patted the table fiercely and said, "No! My will has been decided, so you don't need to say more."
Seeing Liu Xin's anger, Tian Feng, Jushou and others stopped talking. Only Chen Gong continued to say: "If your majesty wants to go it alone, the ministers will not dare to stop it. But the ministers can supervise the household department and must not spend her two. degree!"
Liu Xin appointed Chen Gong as the supervisory capital Yushi because he valued his defying power and integrity. However, Chen Gong is not pedantic, he made a good calculation. You Liu Xin is the emperor, and you can call them concubines with all your words, but I, Chen Gong, can supervise the household department and prevent them from enjoying the treatment of the imperial concubine, making them famous and unreal.
After listening to Chen Gong’s words, Liu Xin couldn’t help but laughed: “Gongtai, then it’s up to you. From now on, not only the expenses of the two of them will not be paid by the household department, but even the expenses of me and the others in the palace will not be affected. The Ministry of Households is directly listed as expenditure."
In Ma Yun's view, Liu Xin has enough women, but in the eyes of these ministers, Liu Xin's concubines are not many, not even as many as their wives. But even so, there are nearly a thousand of the maids and maids in the palace. With so many people, daily necessities, food, shelter and transportation are a lot of expenses. Everyone was taken aback when Liu Xin took the initiative to propose that various fees should not be paid directly from the household department.
Seeing that Liu Xin had made such a big concession for the names of the two women, Chen Gong couldn't say anything any more, so he had to clinch his hands and said: "Weichen dare to ask your Majesty, then where does the palace cost come from? "
In fact, Liu Xin had already considered this matter. For the long-term stability of the big man, he must restrain himself and weaken the imperial power. The first step to weaken the imperial power is to completely separate the emperor's internal treasury from the treasury of the household department and conduct independent accounting. In the future, after all taxes are paid to the state treasury, one percent of them will be used as the palace's internal treasury. All expenditures in the imperial palace are spent by the internal treasury, and the national treasury must not be misappropriated.
In the past, the entire world belonged to the emperor, and the money in the treasury naturally belonged to the emperor. The emperor used it whatever he wanted. And Liu Xin's policy is a restriction on the emperor. As long as it is implemented, the emperor can no longer use the treasury's money on himself.
