Governor please stay

Chapter 358: A Son Is Not A Thief Stealing His Father

Disaster relief, disaster relief, resettlement of victims, and preparation for the autumn harvest.

One thing after another, urgent or very important, made Liu Yishou gasp for breath and felt like he was carrying a big rock on his back.For several days in a row, he was in the study at night.

Not only did they not sleep well, but Wang Wei and others reported various matters day and night, and the study room was like a vegetable market.

It was only then that Liu Yishou understood why Zhu Yi was greedy for ink and power in the center of Liang Guo, but Xiao Yan still entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.Managing a huge country requires dealing with many complicated affairs. A person's energy is limited, let alone an emperor who is passionate about Buddhism.

Where does Xiao Yan have so much energy to deal with "worldly" things?
Quickly deal with some unimportant matters (not to mention whether they are handled well or not), it is also an important ability for the central minister.

From this perspective, Zhu Yi is very competent, even considered excellent.Xiao Yan knows that he is greedy for ink, but how much weight does corruption by one person have in this country?let him go.

Xiao Yan probably thought so.

"Hey, my white hair is three thousand feet long, and my fate seems to be long. I don't know where I can get autumn frost in the mirror?"

Before writing the case, Liu Yishou couldn't help sighing.Li Bai wanted to be an official but had no chance, but he was almost tired and collapsed.

At this moment, Yang Xiuzhi came over and whispered something in Liu Yishou's ear.

"Oh? I almost forgot about him, Wu Mingche has a heart, please hurry up." Liu Yishou said with a smile.

Yuan Shikang was doing disaster relief in Matou County, and now Liu Yishou is surrounded by Yang Xiuzhi managing chores.

After a while, Yang Xiuzhi brought a middle-aged man who looked tired, dressed in coarse linen and linen, and seemed to have no energy into the study room, while he waited on the side and did not leave.

"I heard that Mr. Sima is unparalleled in eloquence, and he has the demeanor of Zhuge Wuhou who used his tongue to fight against the Confucians. Why did you see him today, your eyes are dull, and your soul is out of mind. Is there something on your mind?"

Liu Yishou looked at Sima Ziru, his words were slightly frivolous.Of course, he also has the capital to tease each other.

"A defeated general, how can he speak bravely. A prisoner under his rank, how can he be so radiant. I and Liu Dudu are also old friends, why are you so sarcastic?"

Sima Ziru said helplessly.

What's the point of the knife-in-the-neck debate?
Looking at Sima Ziru, who was not eating oil and salt, Liu Yishou suddenly thought of an interesting thing.

"Mr. Sima, in fact, I have no personal enmity with you, so I don't need to embarrass you. How about you chat with me today? I'm in a good mood. How about letting you go back to Yecheng?"

Seeing Sima Ziru, Liu Yishou seemed to be in a better mood.

"Liu Dudu has a high position and authority, and he keeps his word. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Sima Ziru said very bachelor.

"Okay, Mr. Sima is indeed a straightforward person."

As if thinking about something, Liu Yishou coughed lightly, and asked tentatively, "I heard that Mr. Sima has a lot of concubines in his family, is there such a thing?" Liu Yishou seemed to mean something.

You know this as well?
Sima Ziru was shocked, he only invited Gao Huan to play with his concubine at home, why would Liu Yishou know such a thing?I have to say that a thief looks like a thief to anyone.Sima Ziru is now thinking about who betrayed him.

"How did the governor know?" Sima Ziru asked doubtfully, acquiescing to the other party's statement.

"Your family's concubine is so famous, of course I know." Liu Yishou said a little proudly.

"If the governor is willing, I can give all the beautiful concubines to the governor, but that can only be discussed in the next trip to Yecheng."

Sima Ziru said calmly, it's not that he's fooling around, it's just a beautiful concubine, it's not that you want as many as you want, as long as you work hard to find, where is there no beauty in the world?
"There's something I've always been curious about."

Liu Yishou couldn't help rubbing his hands: "Your son Sima Xiaonan, I heard that he is a child prodigy, and he is very handsome, and now he is in his prime. Girls love handsome men, there is nothing wrong with nature.

There are so many beautiful concubines in Mr. Sima's family, it's not uncommon for him to fall in love with his son.If, I just said what if, if the son-in-law has an affair with the concubine in the husband's family, how will the husband deal with it? "

Hearing this, Sima Ziru's face darkened, and he didn't know how to answer.

Stride on horses, my unworthy son Sima Xiaonan really had an affair with his favorite concubine, the two of them had gone through countless times, and I didn't know until the fire was wrapped in paper!

But how did Liu Yishou know about such secrets?
"Family ugliness spread outside, making the governor laugh."

Sima Ziru wiped the cold sweat off his face, and said insincerely.

"Mr. hasn't answered my question yet, what are you going to do with it!"

Liu Yishou's words were slightly harsh and reproachful.

"Sima Xiao is his only son. No one is a sage. He made mistakes when he was young. As a father, of course I choose to forgive him."

Sima Ziru said with a sigh.

"Did you even forgive my concubine?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.

Sima Ziru was taken aback, feeling that Liu Yishou's focus seemed a little weird.However, he still nodded his head and said, "My favor remains the same."

The son had an affair with the beautiful concubine, but the father could forgive him afterwards.Is this the mind of the ancients?
Liu Yishou sighed with emotion: "Mr. Sima has a broad mind, which is not as good as my generation."

He remembered a classic scene in his previous life, and he called Sima Zi Ru Da Keng Er.

It was after Gao Huan's eldest son Gao Cheng had an affair with Gao Huan's concubine Zheng Dache and was reported.Gao Huan beat Gao Cheng severely, and wanted to depose him as the son of the eldest son.In the end, Sima Ziru persuaded: "Young people are like this. My son Sima Xiaonan also had an affair with my beautiful concubine. Didn't I choose to forgive him? Man, just take it easy."

Only then did Gao Cheng escape.

Unexpectedly, it was true that Sima Xiaonan had an affair with his father's concubine.

Of course, after Gao Cheng's incident, Sima Xiaonan's "son stealing his father is not considered a thief" became famous far and wide, and he himself became notorious far and wide.

"Mr. Sima, how about this, I have all the four treasures of the study here. What about you, write down the important generals and counselors under King Gao, their personalities, abilities, kinship and your personal evaluation.

Show me when you finish writing.If I feel your sincerity, I will let you go back to Yecheng.Of course, it’s okay if you don’t write. Shouyang has beautiful scenery, and there are more than ten thousand hectares of fertile land.It seems to be a good choice for Mr. to become a farmer and live out his life here.

Yang Xiuzhi grinds ink for Mr. Sima.I'll go to the recruiting hall to have a look. "

Liu Yishou said to Yang Xiuzhi who was almost transparent in the study.

"Good lord! I will never leave Mr. Sima an inch."

Yang Xiuzhi, who was almost full from eating melons, said excitedly.

After Liu Yishou left, Yang Xiuzhi looked at Sima Ziru with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Sima, my lord is very interested in the private affairs of King Gao but he is too embarrassed to say so. In fact, I am also very interested. Please write about it." , especially those things about him playing with concubines at your house."

……

"what are you doing here?"

Liu Yishou found Yuan Yuyi disguised as a man in the courtyard of the recruiting hall. Although she had a mustache and was wearing a scholar's robe, her slender figure could not be covered by the clothes. No matter how you looked at it, she was a woman.

At this moment, a group of people were watching the two people on the ring in the courtyard.This time in Dashui in Matou County, many people came to seek refuge.Chen Yuankang set up a bureau in the recruiting hall, and recruited those who could meet the standards.

"Didn't you see, Ah Lang? The new guy, the one on the stage, just beat Yuan Shikang." Yuan Yuyi's face was full of excitement, as if she really wanted to see Yuan Shikang deflated.

Only then did Liu Yishou notice that Yuan Shikang was now fighting on the stage with an extremely muscular young man, neither of them using weapons.The man punched like a tiger, with viciousness.Yuan Shikang retreated steadily, and he had already quickly retreated to the edge of the ring.

"Isn't Yuan Shikang doing disaster relief in Matou County?"

"He came back to return, but he didn't go to A Lang's study." Yuan Yuyi said carelessly.

In fact, the real situation is that Yuan Yuyi wants to introduce Yuan Shikang's beautiful girl to Yuan Shikang, and the premise is to defeat the strong man in the ring.Yuan Shikang went to the ring in a foolish way.

Of course, Yuan Yuyi would not tell Liu Yishou about these things.

"This person has some skills."

Liu Yishou said thoughtfully, this person should be one of the victims, because of his strong body, he seems to have a little impression.

At this moment, Yuan Shikang was kicked off the ring by that person by accident, and fell to the ground in a very embarrassing situation.Yuan Yuyi couldn't help covering her eyes, then her complexion changed drastically as if she thought of something, she quietly withdrew from the crowd like a thief, and went straight to her mansion.

"What do you think of this man, my lord?"

Chen Yuankang approached calmly and asked.

"Well, being a guard is more than enough."

Liu Yishou looked at the person on the stage and said thoughtfully.

"This person came from the north and temporarily lived in Matou County. This time we were doing disaster relief in the county, and he happened to be the one who was rescued. Hearing that the Lord is thirsty for talents, he came to the recruiting hall to try his skills.

General Yuan's skill is extraordinary, he can win the battle, obviously he is not an ordinary person. "

Chen Yuankang's one sentence determined the man's sex.

"Let the crowd disperse." Liu Yishou nodded slightly. Chen Yuankang was still very reliable in his work.

"By the way, my lord, it seems that someone has been secretly spying on the recruiting hall recently. I will pay attention to those unfamiliar faces."

Two days ago, Chen Yuankang saw an unfamiliar face wandering around the area, with wicked eyebrows and mischievous eyes.At that time, there were no soldiers around him, otherwise he would have sent someone to arrest that person.It's just that I haven't seen that person for two days.

Liang Guo’s household registration management is strict, and it is difficult to move around without a pass. How this got into Shouyang is still a mystery.

"Well, it's fine to leave these trivial matters to the guards." Liu Yishou said indifferently.His reputation in the Shouyang area is now at the peak of the sky, and he is not afraid of these young people at all.

"My lord, don't slack off! This person is most likely an official from Xiao Yan's side, so he can travel unimpeded throughout the country of Liang. Maybe it is a spy sent by Xiao Yan to spy on our various military and civil affairs."

Xiao Yan has such a clever method?

Liu Yishou was full of doubts. If Xiao Yan was so thoughtful, how could he be put down by Hou Jing with 800 people?

"Forget it, take that person on stage to talk in my study, I'll go back to the mansion to rest first. I haven't slept well for a few days, I can't bear it anymore."

Liu Yishou yawned, patted Chen Yuankang on the shoulder, turned around and left, really sleepy.

……

Adjacent to Shouyang, in Hefei City, Ruyin County, south of Shouyang, a father and son were drinking in the backyard of the prefect's government office.

The middle-aged man was an official sent by Zhu Yi to investigate the floods in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. His name was Mao Qizhong. He served as the Minister of Bibu in the central center.

The eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man was his son Mao Xi, who looked a bit mischievous, but he was sitting upright at the moment, unsmiling, and didn't look funny.

"My father asked you to go around Shouyang, what did you see? How about Liu Concubine?"

Mao Qizhong asked curiously, his son was a child prodigy since he was a child, and he was extremely alert.There is no way to be ugly, I can only blame him for not inheriting his handsome appearance.

"Liu Concubine has a kind heart and is serious about disaster relief. He is really the reincarnation of the Buddha. My child thinks that no one in the entire Liang Kingdom can compare to him in terms of hard work and love for the people."

Mao Xi took it for granted.

"Well, in this case, it is indeed necessary to allocate some money to Consort Liu. Among the clan, such a person is rare."

Mao Qizhong touched the long beard on his chin and smiled.

"I asked about it, and the surrounding counties and counties praised Liu Concubine. However, Liu Concubine is very good, but there is only one thing that is not good."

Mao Xi sighed and took a sip of his wine.

Mao Xizhong also raised his wine glass, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? This Liu Dudu is capable of both literature and martial arts, not those... well, those wastes in the clan. You just need to know what I said, don't spread it to the outside world. .”

"Liu Dudu is good everywhere, but he just wants to rebel."

Mao Xi said casually.

puff!
The wine in Mao Qizhong's mouth sprayed Mao Xi's face.

"Rebellion? Then you're still here drinking with me leisurely?"

Mao Xizhong wished he could beat the bastard in front of him to death with a stick.

"Father, please calm down. Concubine Liu just wanted to rebel, but he didn't rebel! Father likes the beautiful concubine of his colleague and didn't do anything else. Could it be that father is also a bad person?"

After three days of not being able to clean the house, and being complained by his son Mao Xi, Mao Qizhong wanted to enforce the family law.

"As a father, I really can't control you..."

Mao Xizhong caressed his forehead, a little doubting whether his son was his own. Although he was uglier than himself, his intelligence was a bit scary, and he was no longer able to show his father's profile in front of the other party.

"In your opinion, what should we do?" Mao Qizhong asked angrily.

"Didn't father have an imperial edict in his hand? Go to Shouyang and read it, then walk around and have a look, and then return to Jiankang, and allocate funds for disaster relief as usual. Father, our surname is Mao, not Xiao. Princess of the Great Wall Xiao Yuying Not in a hurry, what are we in a hurry for?"

Mao Xi asked back.

Oh yes!

Mao Qizhong suddenly realized that he was not Xiao Yan, and if the son-in-law wanted to rebel, it was enough to make Xiao Yan a headache.

"By the way, is Concubine Liu gathering troops to go south?" Mao Qizhong asked.

"Not at all, his subordinates are all in disaster relief." Mao Xi replied honestly.

"Then he invaded the land of the surrounding states and counties? He plundered the population?" Mao Qizhong continued to ask.

"Not really, but there are many disaster victims from neighboring states and counties who came to seek refuge." Mao Xi continued to tell the truth.

"Uh, then how do you know that Concubine Liu wants to rebel? Aren't you framing the family? It is a felony to frame the clan!"

Mao Xizhong warned Mao Xi with a puzzled face, saying that if this was written in the memorial, Xiao Yan, who favored the clan, would definitely be reprimanded, or even demoted.

"It's hard to say, but I know anyway." Mao Xi was complacent and didn't care.
