Father Han Gaozu

In Taiwei's mansion.

Han Xin was smiling as he watched Xiao Liuzhen talk about his new discovery, nodding his head from time to time in agreement.

Among Liu Chang's many heirs, it seems that only Liu Ji and Liu Ci have inherited his strong social skills. Both of them get along well with their elders, like veterans and sages, and their relationship with Liu An is not too close However, they got along well with Liu Ci, and they really missed him when he suddenly went to Longxi. Even before Mrs. Fan left Chang'an, he asked someone to send some sheep to Longxi, saying that they were for Liu Ci to eat. , and the little princess's social skills are even more terrifying, she looks cute and can talk, and the elders like it very much.

Among Liu Chang's many heirs, her status is detached. She has grown so big, not to mention being beaten by her father, even scolded.

Only Cao Shu dared to discipline her severely.

Han Xin looked at Liu Jie with pampering eyes, but when he raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes were quite unfriendly.

Zhao Tuo was also sitting here at the moment, looking at Liu Jing lovingly.

Regardless of whether Liu Chang recognizes it or not, he believes in his heart that Liu Chang is his grandson, and Liu Ji looks exactly like the daughter he once abandoned. For a long time, the guilt he felt towards his daughter has strengthened his feelings towards him For his love for this great-granddaughter, he seems to want to give all the debt he owes to his daughter to this little great-grandson, so that he can feel more at ease.At his current age, he no longer had the ambitions he had at the beginning, and under his arrangement, the Zhao family has a stable future. He has also reached the time when he knows his destiny, so he simply no longer cares about the temple affairs and spends the whole day Accompanied by Xiao Liu.

Han Xin was quite dissatisfied and often quarreled with Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo was very afraid of Han Xin in the past, but it was because he was afraid of him leading troops to attack Nanyue, but at this moment, Nanyue has already become a part of the big man, and Zhao Tuo is also a generation of heroes, so naturally he is not afraid of Han Xin, and he will lead the army if he has the ability. Soldiers to attack South Vietnam?
Can you beat me without troops?

Zhao Tuo is very confident in himself. When he was young, he never met anyone who could fight him. With almost invincible force, he served as the deputy commander of the army when he was in his early 20s. According to his own words Even if you can't beat Xiang Yu and Liu Chang, you can still beat Fan Kui.

Although he is old now, it is still no problem to fight against a few soldiers. Han Xin is not famous for his martial arts, but in a real fight, Zhao Tuo can beat him violently.

Of course, he didn't dare to do that either.

And Han Xin hates this kind of reckless man very much.

In his whole life, he has met two old enemies successively. Both of them are reckless men. The first one was okay, and it only took him a few years to lose. The second reckless man is still disgusting himself until now. Unexpectedly, another old reckless man came here.

Liu Jie was a little tired from playing, so the maid took her to rest. When Liu Jie was around, the two old men could still maintain an apparent harmony. As soon as Liu Jie left, their expressions immediately turned cold.

"Hehe, you are really shameless. You actually chased me into this mansion. I have already sent someone to find out. Your Majesty's biological mother is not called He at all, and you have nothing to do with me!!"

Zhao Tuo raised his head, "Even if they are not my own sons, they are also of the same clan as me. This cannot be faked. After all, they are related by blood. But you, what blood relationship do you have with His Majesty? How dare you call yourself the eldest father of the concubine? If Emperor Gao is still here, just your words are enough to kill the clan!"

"Why, why don't you send you to see Emperor Gao and ask him if he agrees?"

"Hahaha, okay, how are you going to send me there? The old man will go down with the cane, and I will send you to see Xiang Yu first!"

"I see Xiang Yu every day."

Han Xin murmured, and waved his hand with displeasure, "Get out of here! I don't welcome you here!"

Zhao Tuo pursed his lips and muttered, "You say that, I see Emperor Gao every day."

Zhao Tuo didn't get up, but instead asked: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to carry out a major restructuring of the Han army?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"I am the king of South Vietnam, the prince of the Han Dynasty."

As Zhao Tuo said, seeing Han Xin's increasingly impatient eyes, he had no choice but to truthfully say, "My eldest son was driven out by Zhou Yafu not long after he joined the Southern Army."

Han Xin couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, your son is really a master, although you are unbearable, you can be the commander-in-chief of a party at the age of 40, leading an army of more than [-] to the south, and you can be regarded as half a talent. Your son can't even be a captain of the Southern Army, hahaha, it's really interesting!"

Seeing Han Xin's schadenfreude, Zhao Tuo couldn't hold back his face, "It's not uncommon for Zhao Tuo to neglect the discipline of his children after years of fighting abroad."

Han Xin smiled and laughed, but suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

His complexion also became ugly at the same time.

The two old men were silent for a long time.

Only then did Han Xin ask, "Did your son take someone to assassinate the envoy of rest?"

"Ah?? What messenger??"

Zhao Tuo was stunned.

Han Xin narrowed his eyes, "Anyway, this matter is about to be cleared up, so I won't hide it from you. Zhou Yafu went to the Southern Army. On the one hand, he wanted to change the Northern Army. On the other hand, he suspected that someone in the Southern Army would assassinate An An. Messenger, if you want to start a war, Zhou Yafu is going to investigate this matter, your son was the first to be kicked out of the Southern Army, maybe he planned this matter!"

Zhao Tuo was really terrified at the moment. Thinking about his son who was as stupid as a pig, Zhao Tuo was really a little panicked. He didn't know about this before, and his son didn't explain the reason for being expelled. Was it really this idiot who did it? ?Thinking about his brain, it's hard to say.

Zhao Tuo's face suddenly turned pale, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Taiwei, what's going on here?"

Seeing Zhao Tuo's fear, Han Xin was very proud, so he told him what happened again.

Having said that, Zhao Tuo's face immediately calmed down, and he was not afraid at all.

He raised his head and said with some pride:
"That's not what he did, he can't make such a detailed plan, he doesn't have that brain!"

Han Xin glanced at him, "Even if he didn't do it, I'm afraid it has something to do with it. Otherwise, why did Zhou Yafu let him go home as soon as he came?"

"As long as it's not the crime of being executed, then it's fine. I didn't think that my scorpion could accomplish anything, as long as he didn't die."

Zhao Tuo finally relaxed, and then said: "If you talk about restructuring, I may be able to help. I have already said that the Qin system is no longer suitable for the present. The current army of the big man is based on the original system. The Qin army was set up, but the Qin army is a little different. If a war breaks out, the local officials can be automatically promoted to officers according to their titles. Officers and officials are one. Now it is different. The military system of the Han Dynasty began to become messy. Sooner or later, it will be rectified, especially the Northern Army. The Northern Army should be commanded by a lieutenant in name, that is, Wang Tianqi, but it has always been governed by Zhou Yafu as a chariot general. , at other times you can order the transfer"

"Establish the school lieutenant, stationed separately, the general commanded the war, and the second lieutenant ordered by the lieutenant on weekdays. Isn't this better than the current situation?"

"Needless to say about the Southern Army, ever since Taixue didn't allow people to come in, and the Northern Army was commanded by Zhou Yafu, the Southern Army has almost become a gilded place for the rich and powerful. , Some people also say that the northern army uses war and the southern army uses loyalty. The southern army should not be able to fight too much. The most important thing is to be loyal enough to the emperor. Protect Wei Young??"

Han Xin's face was full of calm, "Is this the reason why you sent your son to be gilded?"

"My son doesn't have much talent, but he is good at martial arts. How about a job in the Southern Army? He is loyal enough to the emperor, and compared to most dignitaries who can fight him, he has personally fought in battle!"

"I know your son's achievements. At that time, he led the [-] elite soldiers from South Vietnam to station at the five most dangerous passes to resist Wu's [-] troops. He lost five times in three days and lost three passes in a row. The [-] troops of Wu State lost their helmets and disarmed their armor, and almost wiped out the entire army. Was it your son who fought that battle?"

Zhao Tuo's face was a little ugly, "That's because of Guan Ying. My son beat Guan Ying. It's normal if he can't beat him."

Han Xin continued: "I was thinking at the time, can such a record be achieved by humans? Such a big advantage. Tsk."

Zhao Tuo couldn't hold back his face at last, and he got up, "I'd better go back first and be cautious about the restructuring."

When Zhao Tuo returned to the mansion, his son rushed to greet him.

"Father!"

"How is it? Have you asked the Taiwei? Is it because the Northern Army has been reorganized and I am going to be transferred to the Northern Army?"

Zhao Shi asked enthusiastically.

Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and slowly clenched the crutch in his hand, "Tell me first why Zhou Yafu drove you out?"

Seeing Father's face, Zhao Shi took two steps back, and then said: "I don't know, he just came to the Southern Army, met everyone, and then let me go."

Zhao Tuo suddenly raised his head and stared into his eyes, "Still telling the truth?!"

Zhao Shi hurriedly explained: "Father, it's my fault. It's because I didn't manage well enough. Zhou Yafu asked about the attendance of the patrolling soldiers. My battalion didn't have detailed statistics. Soldiers often came in and out without permission. But there were no detailed statistics. It’s such a big deal, and it’s a high-intensity inspection when the soldiers go out to play, do I have to send someone to monitor where they go and what they do when they finish their work and want to go out to rest?”

"I see, it was Zhou Yafu who found fault with him that time. He simply wanted to change his confidant. I didn't have any background, so I was caught by him."

Before Zhao Shi finished speaking, he swung his cane over.

Zhao Shi was hit hard on the shoulder, and immediately dodged in pain, "Father! Don't blame me! Don't blame me!"

"Why don't you act according to the military law? When soldiers are resting, they can't leave the school ground alone. They must always report their whereabouts. When they return home, they can't miss a single thing. You are good. I have to interrupt today. Your idiot's legs!!!"

Just when Zhao Tuo was about to discipline his son, a group of people suddenly broke in.

Zhao Tuo also knew the leader.

Tingwei's Xuan Moru.

At this moment, Xuan Moru was very serious, saluted Zhao Tuo, and then said: "We suspect that there is an assassination case related to Zhao Shi, and we want to invite him back to Ting Wei for investigation."

Zhao Shi was stunned, "What assassination case?? You don't want to spout blood!"

Zhao Tuo sighed and shook his head, "Okay."

Not long after Xuan Moru brought Zhao Shi back, he appeared in Houde Hall and reported the situation to Liu Chang.

"Are you sure they are soldiers under Zhao Shi's command?"

"It's not confirmed, but the attendance and outing records of his subordinates are the only ones that don't match up. The probability of his soldiers participating in the assassination is the highest."

"He has only been a colonel for a few days. Besides, he has no education and no brains to plan an assassination. It is probably the people under his command who made their own decisions."

Liu Chang curled his lips, and Lu Lu asked curiously, "You don't seem to be that concerned about these things?"

"It's okay, I probably know who did it in my heart. Such a bold thing, and I am so eager for military merits, and I am still under Zhao Shi's command. I know who it is at a glance, and Zhou Yafu probably knows it too, but the meaning of the disposal is different. It’s too big, but it will bring a very bad impact. Let’s reform the system first. The Northern Army has set up a school lieutenant, and the Southern Army has to rectify it. This person, I will personally clean up.”

Lu Lu nodded, and Xuan Moru asked, "Then I let Zhao Shi go?"

"Why did you let it go? This guy is doing stupid things. It's just a good time to use him to show his prestige, so that those moths who want to get their qualifications in the Southern Army can take a good look."

"Then kill him?"

Liu Chang looked at him in surprise, "Kill monkeys to make an example of chickens, right? Why didn't I see that you still have the talent to be a cruel official?"

Xuan Moru laughed, "Joke ears."

"With a cruel official like Chao Cuo, I can't be considered a cruel official."

"What kind of cruel official is Chao Cuo? Now, he's probably going to collapse because of it?"

Qiao County, in the county magistrate's mansion.

"Sue me again?? Sue me again?? Who is this time?!"

Chao Cuo's eyes were red, and he grabbed the neck of the county magistrate in front of him. If he didn't have enough strength, he would have to hang him on the wall.

The county magistrate smiled wryly, "Three Lizhengs, I want to sue you for distributing farm tools unfairly, distributing farm tools according to your own preferences, and persecuting the people of Sanli."

"They have already reported to the sheriff. According to your own policy, the sheriff will send someone to let them meet with the governor."

Chao Cuo was furious, "Isn't this nonsense?? What did I do to persecute him?!? I just idle like that?!"

"Yes, the governor knows of course, but the people refuse to accept and they still want to sue. The governor will send them to Chang'an. During this period, you will be monitored."

In fact, there is no need for the county magistrate to say anything, Chao Cuo is very clear about these procedures.

Because these are all designated by him personally.

In order to restrict local officials from doing evil, he specified a very detailed appeal system, so as not to cause a situation where the people have no way to report and the officials and officials protect each other. However, this set is now being used on his own head. Since he took office, People sue him every day, and the supervision system does not belong to the county magistrate, which makes Chao Cuo very passive. As soon as he was about to do something, Duyou came to his door, saying that someone sued him and asked him to suspend his job to accept supervision. After Chao Cuo accepted the questioning , Those who are to be punished have already cleared the evidence against themselves.

However, Chao Cuo sued these people. According to the system he personally appointed, extremely detailed evidence was required, which prevented him from killing and killing indiscriminately.

When Chen Mai took office as the governor of the local county, he went on a killing spree and killed many disobedient and incompetent officials. In exchange for a period of prosperity, everyone praised his ability, but Chao Cuo impeached him several times. , Chao Cuo thinks that Chen Mai is acting indiscriminately, killing indiscriminately, not acting according to the law, not a sheriff, but a criminal!
Therefore, Chao Cuo drew up this detailed system so that local officials could not kill people at will, and even the execution of criminals had to be reviewed by the temple.

Chao Cuo took a deep breath, "I'm going to be questioned again."

"Is such that."

"How about letting the county lieutenant go to their house to search for evidence of the crime?"

"Unless you have evidence of a crime, and with the consent of the county, you cannot directly mobilize the county lieutenant to break into the mansions of those rich families."

"Well, that's what I made too, right?"

Chao Cuo let go of the magistrate in front of him, and said in a daze, "Without you, I can't even spend the magistrate's money."

The county magistrate is quite cooperative with Chao Cuo.

It was only then that Chao Cuo realized how much he had locked up the magistrate. Other places might be fine, but in a place like Pei County where conflicts are fierce, the magistrate was simply trapped. He has inextricable connections with the local powerful clan. At the beginning, he confidently stated that he would eradicate the powerful clan within a month. As a result, he has disposed of three powerful clans. These powerful clans are not considered very powerful. Be careful to be caught by Chao Cuo.

Thinking of what he had said to the county magistrate back then, Chao Cuo's face ached even more.

At this moment, someone came in and reported: "Duke Chao!! Your majesty's letter has arrived!"

Chao Cuo was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up, "This is because His Majesty knows my plight and wants to help me!"

He hastily asked people to welcome the angel in, picked up the emperor's edict, and looked at it happily.

Seeing the two words above, Chao Cuo was dumbfounded.

A feeling of grief and indignation emanated from the bottom of his heart, his face flushed suddenly, his whole body became hot, and he was very emotional.

The county magistrate glanced at Chao Cuo's appearance and couldn't help but said, "Mr. Chao, these policies are all set by you, which makes the officials helpless. What you say now is in vain. I have a plan. You don't want to Reveal the emperor's edict, let everyone know that the emperor has issued an edict to you privately, and then call everyone together, and make a look that you are sure of winning."

Chao Cuo put down the edict in his hand and shook his head.

"No, I don't do things for the emperor, I do things upright."

"I don't regret the establishment of such a system. After all, it seems that these systems are very effective. Even if they can be used by one or two hundred traitors, they can protect tens of thousands of good people from being persecuted."

"I want to defeat these traitors in an upright manner. The policies I formulate are correct."
