"His family is poor, and he really can't afford books, but he still insists on studying..."

"In order to be able to read, when he was five or six years old, he went out to do things for others and supported himself. I have never seen such a studious person in my life.

"I thought about not letting the studious man have no books to read, so I acted righteously and helped him, Father, don't you often say that you learn to help others?

"That's why you stole my book collection?!"

Faced with Liu Ci's sophistry, Liu Chang still seemed very angry. He had lived for more than 30 years, and he had always been the only one who stole from others. Now someone stole it from him. It is really unbearable!

Lu Lu patted Liu Ci on the head, and couldn't help laughing, "Cidu has started stealing books, rare, rare."

"It seems that this ram still has something. If you want a book, just say yes. Why would your father not give it to you? Why bother to steal it?"

Liu Chang's attention was on another matter, he asked suspiciously: "What's the name of your junior brother you said just now?"

"Dong Zhongshu."

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, "Dong Zhongshu...not bad, not bad, it's rare that you have a sudden kindness and want to help others, well, I don't care about these books, but you are not allowed to steal them again in the future!"

"only!!!"

Liu Ci fled here very happily, but Liu Chang couldn't help frowning, Dong Zhongshu, is that Confucian sage called Dong Zi in the future?Liu Chang knows that this is a person with extremely polarized opinions. Those who like him respect him as the fourth sage of Confucianism, and those who hate him regard him as the source of disaster for China. With Confucianism defeating Huang Lao and sitting on the position of sage, the knowledge is unparalleled in the world.

He is even much younger than An Shuzi, and these two will definitely be very good opponents in the future.

A sage of Huang Lao and a sage of ram. If these two people collide, it will feel like Mencius bumping into Mozi. Then I will grab some food and sit down to watch their thousand battles. By the way, I have to call Fu Qiubo... lest I don't understand.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go there today?"

Lu Lu spoke, interrupting Liu Chang's meditation.

Liu Chang raised his head, "Of course I'm going, you go get ready first...I'll change my clothes later!"

Soon, Liu Chang walked out wearing a brand-new Qi State-style dress and a flat and long crown. He could even speak a fluent Qi State accent, and anyone who saw him would be amazed. Undoubtedly, Lu Lu admired his majesty for this, what an exaggerated language talent, his majesty stayed with King Baicheng for a few days, and even learned his poisonous accent, his majesty is really You can become whoever you are with whatever clothes you wear.

Liu Chang got into the carriage and drove towards Shihuofu.

Taiwei has been working in Shihuofu for four or five days. To be honest, Taiwei has handled it well. In just a few days, the reputation of Shihuofu has changed drastically. In the important department of praise, there are no longer any ministers who continue to impeach, but instead start to write a letter, admonishing Liu Chang to focus on developing the Shihuofu and so on. Liu Chang feels baffled. Nothing more than that. …

He went to the Shihuo Mansion this time to simply inspect and see how the master and the old man are doing. At the same time, it is also a wave of rewards for those young juniors, so that they can muster up their energy and continue to work.

When Liu Chang came to the gate of Shihuo Mansion, he felt the changes here.

The two officials who greeted the visitors at the door were both in armor and sharpened at the moment, standing straight at the door without looking sideways.

When the emperor came, they hurriedly bowed to see each other, and then stood on both sides to get out of the way.

Liu Chang looked at the gatekeeper suspiciously, "Tang? What do you mean?? Who are you fighting with?"

"Return to Your Majesty!! The minister is obeying the order of the Taiwei!! Welcome the guests!!"

"Is there anyone like you to welcome guests like this? You shouldn't scare the merchant to death when he comes to do business??"

"Return to Your Majesty!! This is the order of the Taiwei!!"

"Is he running the government or the army?!"

Liu Chang walked into the Shihuo mansion, and the people inside were busy in a hurry, everyone was very serious and strict, good guy, this is really running the army, Liu Chang is a soldier, oh, yes Under the leadership of an official, they walked to the innermost room. Before they entered, they heard reprimands from inside.

"This year's trade, it took so much to get back such a little thing?? I took a thousand cavalry around and it wouldn't be enough!! Give me an order to let them find a way to improve the outcome! How dare you fool me like this , according to the military law!!"

"only!!"

Liu Chang looked at the official who walked out in surprise, walked slowly to Taiwei's side, and sat down.

"Master, what's the matter with you?"

"Government."

Han Xin replied, then picked up the memorial in front of him and read it seriously. Liu Chang pursed his lips and asked cautiously, "Is Jia Yi still alive?"

"He went to talk to a few big merchants about something.
Han Xin said, and suddenly looked at Lu Lu behind Liu Chang, "And you! Why aren't you on the list of big merchants?! Are you trying to evade taxes?!"

Lu Lu panicked immediately, and hurriedly explained: "Taiwei, that's not the case. All my licenses have been completed, and the annual business tax is paid in full. Your Majesty knows it..."

"Master, don't scare him. I really have never heard of your way of governing."

"It's a bit aggrieved for you to sit here and give orders. You might as well call Prime Minister Zhang over to record your orders."

"Oh? Is there something wrong with this?"

Han Xin asked curiously. In fact, Han Xin has never governed the country since he was an adult, and he has never handled any government affairs. The Taiwei mainly formulates strategies and goes out to fight, and the handling is still handed over to the ministers. He has never done anything himself. In this regard, he is completely a newbie, but a terrible newbie.

"Master... You can't continue to govern like this. After all, this governance is different from fighting. You have to be reasonable in doing this, and you can't do whatever you want... I let you take charge of it. I let you give Jia Yi Backing up, it's not that you send Jia Yi to run around..."...

Han Xin's face darkened, and he took out many documents from the side, and put them directly on his copybook.

Liu Chang thought he was going to beat someone violently, so he hid for a while, and when he saw the things the teacher took out, he asked suspiciously: "What is this??"

"The results, the results in the past few days, all the policies that Chen Ping failed to implement at the beginning, were all implemented, and no one objected, and the arrangements were very smooth."

Liu Chang was speechless for a moment, just staring blankly at the piled up documents.

When leaving here, Liu Chang still felt a bit of a headache, "Lu, this is the first time I have seen someone manage government affairs like this... My master is a tyrant. He directly enforced it, and no one dared to say no. If he stays here for another half a year, these people can be dragged out to fight poison..."

Lu Lu was also a little scared, "Yes, and I think that in the future, merchants will definitely not dare not to apply for a license... Especially those big merchants in Chang'an, I think they would rather go to Hexi to deal with Liu Jing than to deal with Liu Jing again. We have dealt with the food department."

"They found this by themselves, who made them feel free to impeach Jia Yi?
"Now you know Jia Yi's, right? What's the use?

"They're just self-inflicted, but we have to pay attention to the teacher a little bit, and we can't let him treat it too much..."

The two monarchs and ministers chatted slowly. Suddenly, someone rushed towards the emperor's carriage. Before Lu Lu could react, a large number of soldiers and embroidered clothes poured out from all directions, and directly rushed the one who dared to offend the emperor's carriage. The person holding the frame was pressed to the ground, the whole street was in chaos, everyone fled one after another, the soldiers quickly surrounded the emperor, the whole atmosphere suddenly became tense, Lu Lu pulled out the sword from his waist, stared at looking around,

Protect in front of Liu Chang.

Only Liu Chang had a calm and helpless expression on his face.

"That's not an assassin, it's an unarmed commoner, let the soldiers get up, don't crush them to death..."

Hearing Liu Chang's words, Lu Lu hurriedly gave the order, and only then did the soldiers escort the man to Liu Chang's front.

The man was not an assassin, but an elderly man.

This old man looked skinny and emaciated, and being held by two soldiers who looked like tigers and wolves made him look even thinner.

Liu Chang sized him up and asked, "Old man? What can you do with me?"

"My lord, I have a grievance, I want to appeal...please help, please help..."

Liu Chang looked at the imperial palace in the distance, then frowned and asked back: "That's the imperial palace, there is a special place to complain about grievances, and there is also Tingwei's mansion in the city, if you have grievances, you can go there, why stop it?" Where are my chariots?"

The old man's face was full of despair, "The people in charge of reception outside the palace don't accept my grievances, I can't even enter the gate, Captain Ting..."

Liu Chang was furious at that moment, he turned his head and asked, "What is Zhang Shizhi doing?!"

Lu Lu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, he has been dismissed and now Xia Houying is taking over."

Liu Chang frowned, and then ordered the old man to be let go, let him get into his carriage, and when he got in the carriage, the old man couldn't bear it anymore, and confessed all his grievances. He was originally a The local merchants had quite a lot of property, and the family enjoyed themselves happily, but because he did not bribe him as required by the county magistrate, the county magistrate found various reasons to target him, causing his family to be ruined and the property under his name to be destroyed. It belonged to someone else, and even his son disappeared after going out to make a theory, and there is no news so far. …

Listening to the old man's words, Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, "Which county did you just mention?"

"My lord, it's Xu County..."

This person came to Chang'an from Xu County, complained all the way, but was not accepted. He could only stand here, staring at those dignitaries who entered and exited the palace, and then came to ask for help at risk. This road is the one leading to the palace. .

But Liu Chang stroked his beard lightly. County magistrate Xu... If he remembers correctly, it should be Zhou Yi?

That's right, no wonder it's not accepted.

Liu Chang said to Lu Lufen, "You settle this old man first...send someone to call Ji Bu here."

Soon, Liu Chang met Ji Bu in the palace. Ji Bu served as a doctor of imperial history and assisted Zhang Cang in governing the world. He made many breakthroughs in supervision, including adding many channels for appeals. A lot of supervision departments have been set up, and at the same time, the supervision of hundreds of officials has also been improved, and they are doing well, but what happened now makes Liu Chang extremely displeased, even looking at Ji Bu with eyes that are a bit wrong .

"Ji Gong, you have added multiple appeal departments inside and outside Chang'an... But when it comes to the critical moment, how come none of these departments are useful?"

Liu Chang glanced at Ji Bu, Ji Bu could easily feel the anger in his words.

Ji Bu didn't know what happened, but he still bowed and pleaded guilty.

"It's the minister's lax governance."

"Xu County Magistrate Zhou Yi, I have already sent people to investigate this matter. If it is true, you, the censor, don't do it again! That person visited everywhere and was desperate. Come to stop my car, that is to say, stop my car. If you stop someone else, this matter will be over like this. None of the departments you have added has accepted it, and the court Lieutenant, Tingwei accepted the application but it has been dragged on until now without any results, so he doesn't care at all!! This is your negligence of duty!!"

Ji Bu didn't refute it. Doctor Yushi is indeed the most difficult position for a big man. No matter how hard he tries, such violations of law and discipline are still unavoidable. All he can do is reduce such things. They are all indispensable, but once something happens, he will bear full responsibility.

"Zhou Yi, the son of the Marquis of Fenyin, the grandson of the Marquis of Fenyin! His great father's lifetime reputation will be ruined by his grandson!!"

"If it is true, I will definitely smash him to pieces! Those who protect him in the court, I will also pull them out and behead them!!"

"And you, I won't favor you because of your status as a savior, if it's true, you can't get away from it!!"

It could be seen that Liu Chang was really angry.

Ji Bu didn't say anything, just bowed again, "I'm going to investigate in the venue now, to see if there is anyone protecting Zhou Yi."

Liu Chang didn't speak, and watched him leave.

When Lu Lu came in again, Liu Chang still didn't calm down. He gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that I am still too kind to these thieves. This is a good time that has passed for too long, and I will not be released more and more." It's in my eyes! It seems that I have to let them have a long memory.

Lu Lu didn't want to say much, but just comforted him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't get angry, this female gangster is inexhaustible. No matter how you manage it, there must still be people who do evil, but there are fewer people now than before. , this is the result... You want all the officials in the world to serve the people wholeheartedly and govern diligently, that is impossible..."...

"All my life, I have always said what I say! Ji Bu can't do it, but it doesn't mean others can't do it!!"

"Go and call Chao Cuo in!"

Lu Lu turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty? You don't mean to ask Chao Cuo to take charge of this matter, do you? If things get serious, it's better to let Ji Bu..."

Liu Chang looked at Lu Lu slowly, "No, no, don't worry, why did I let Chao Cuo take charge of this matter? Isn't that too humiliating? Go and call him in." Lu Lu I didn't try to persuade you any more, but I was still a little worried.
He was afraid that the emperor would get dizzy with anger, so he asked Chao Cuo to investigate directly. At that time, Chao Cuo would definitely make a big fuss, take advantage of the problem, and kill the Quartet. This guy has power in his hands, which is quite scary. Seeing who bites Who, the emperor asked him to kill one person, he could kill a hundred, the emperor asked him to catch a female gangster, he wished to catch 1, in terms of aggressiveness, almost no one in the whole big man could match him.

Chao Cuo has been living peacefully these days, and occasionally goes to participate in the water control situation, and occasionally goes to see local officials for assessment.

The rest of the time, he was helping the emperor deal with various memorials and so on. He lived a leisurely life, but Chao Cuo didn't like such a leisurely life. He liked to be busy. Only by doing things constantly would he feel satisfied.

When he was called to Houde Hall by Liu Chang, he still had some expectations in his heart.

Could it be that His Majesty wants to give me something for me to do? ?When he paid his respects to His Majesty, he heard His Majesty's inquiry.

"Wrong, can you be willing to be the royal doctor?"

"what???"

Even Chao Cuo almost jumped up at this moment, what did you say you were in charge of? ?
He couldn't even believe his ears, what did he hear?
Let yourself be the royal doctor? ?

Doctor Yushi is the third prince of the current dynasty, one of the four most respected ministers in the world, tied with the Prime Minister and the Taiwei, the most powerful thing is that the Prime Minister and the Taiwei are actually under the supervision of Doctor Yushi, who can supervise all officials , can deal with any official he wants to deal with. In the whole world, the only thing that the censor can't deal with is the emperor, and the power of the censor is not only for supervision. The scheduling, the execution of laws, the rewards of generals, they can control everything.

This is the pinnacle of a person with great power and a high status.

And there are countless people who want to be in this position, but no matter how they are arranged, it is not their turn to be the third man, right? ?

Looking at Chao Cuo, who was completely sluggish, Liu Chang said with some disdain: "If you are asked to be a royal doctor, you will become like this. If you are asked to be the country's minister, will you be smashed to death here?"

"No, Your Majesty... I am willing!! I am willing to be the royal doctor!!!"

Chao Cuo's eyes sparkled, and he began to salute the emperor again, becoming extremely excited.

"There are many female thieves in the world, and they harm the common people.

...Ji Bu was not able to cure it well. I learned something from the teacher. The more difficult the disease is to treat, the more severe the medicine may be. Therefore, I am going to withdraw him and replace it with a strong medicine for the ministers. make up..."

"Your Majesty!! Let the minister come!! The minister is a strong medicine!! The minister swears to you that within one year, the world will be wiped out, and all officials should do their duty. If there is another violation of law and discipline, I will directly crash to death. In front of His Majesty!!!”
