Governor please stay

Chapter 85

Despite the grumbling and displeasure, the new imperial court in Luoyang still characterized the Queen Mother Hu as a party, unsurprisingly, a traitor and a traitor.It's just that the scale of this "partisan" is much larger than originally expected!

Not to mention Yuan Yong, Yuan Qin and others, some of the other aristocratic family members are quite popular, such as the Wang Zunye brothers of the Wang family in Taiyuan, etc., and some seem to have little relationship with Queen Mother Hu, such as Ren The lineage of the city king was all bloodbathed.

According to the list "discussed" by Yuan Ziyou, Er Zhurong and others, the staff of the Luoyang Central Center underwent a major shake-up. Many resigned and returned home, and some even went to jail for unknown reasons.

For a while, the entire bureaucracy of Luoyang City was in a semi-paralyzed state, and people's hearts were floating.

However, most meat eaters are relieved, because they feel that this should be the end of this political turmoil.Er Zhurong also killed the people who should be killed, and the officials who should be replaced, and it is time for him to go north to deal with Ge Rong.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Liu Yishou. During the day, he discussed with Yu Jin, Li Hu and others about recruiting brave fighters from the Luoyang Imperial Army who had been exchanged blood. At night, Yuan Juli and Xu Yuehua took turns to serve him.

And Er Zhurong has never issued an order for them to send troops, as if he was waiting for some news, or planning something, and did not discuss with Liu Yishou, which made Yu Jin and others feel uneasy.

One day, Liu Yishou was discussing with Yu Jin and Yu Jin in the signing room to discuss how to write Zheng Yan's proclamation. Suddenly, a soldier came to report, and a middle-aged scribe outside asked to see him.

"Middle-aged scribe?"

Yu Jin was full of question marks, what middle-aged scribe did Liu Yishou know?
"My dear brother, you have a lot of friends."

Yu Jin who was sitting opposite Liu Yishou said with emotion.

"Where do I know any middle-aged scribes?"

Liu Yishou was also stunned, he knew those Qiu Ba under Er Zhurong's command, besides, how could he not know the people in Er Zhurong's camp when the soldiers reported back?

When the two of them came to the downstairs of the Baichi Building, they saw a tall, thin, scribe with bright eyes and a long beard.He was very plainly dressed, the most common blue robe in this era, but he was well-groomed.

The whole person looks particularly energetic.

Liu Yishou secretly complained in his heart, this person must have a very capable, caring and virtuous maid or wife, who is definitely much more caring than those in his own family.

Alas, it’s not enough for a woman to be beautiful.

Thinking of how "virtuous" Yuan Juli, Xu Yuehua, and Feng Xiaoniang were in life, he couldn't help but want to sigh.As for Yuan Yuyi and Xiao Yezi, they are children, so they are not included in the comparison.

"Meet Master Liu."

The middle-aged scribe saluted, looking quite polite.

"Excuse me, is your Excellency..."

Liu Yishou was stunned, he had never seen this person before!
"My servant, Cui Xiaofen, has resigned from office now."

The scribe said generously that he didn't think resigning from office was a shameful thing at all.

"Uh, this is not the place to talk, please come inside."

This person seems to have some background, even if he is only based on his surname Cui, he should not be underestimated.

The three of them took their seats in the signing room, and after dismissing the soldiers, Cui Xiaofen said in a deep voice, "I heard that Liu Dudu doesn't have a suitable long history, so I came down here to recommend myself."

Eh?
It was the first time Liu Yishou knew that he was so popular. This was a shock. Anyone come to vote?
At this moment, Yu Jin murmured in his ear for a long time, and finally said goodbye and left the signing room, leaving only Liu Yishou to face Cui Xiaofen alone.

"Sir, this is killing me. I'm not the governor of Erzhu, how can I afford a talent like you?"

Liu Yishou smiled wryly.

Yu Jin told him just now that Cui Xiaofen's daughter was once Yuan Xu's concubine.Not only that, this person is not only erudite and talented, but also good at writing articles, and when Queen Mother Hu was a big official.

He was also from the Boling Cui family.

Back then, he joined the army beside Yuan Ziyou's father!
This kind of person came to Liu Yishou on his own initiative, saying that he was going to be the chief historian (in charge of documents, and also helped out with ideas and miscellaneous tasks), Liu Dudu asked himself that he didn't have so much domineering spirit.

The person in front of him is really too fierce.

Is it because you are "sparkling and lovable"?
"Why... why did you choose to be next?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.

"There are many reasons, let's talk about them one by one. Strictly speaking, I can also be regarded as a party member of the Queen Mother. I am afraid of being liquidated, so I choose to find someone to protect me."

Cui Xiaofen said perfunctorily.

This one is completely unconvincing, let alone convince Liu Yishou, even he himself does not believe it.

"Two years ago, Zhang Wu Wang Yuanrong served as the governor of the north to discuss Xianyu Xiuli. At that time, my younger brother Cui Xiaoyan led the clan to resist the rebels in Boling, and Cui Xiaoyan was killed after the city was broken. Do you know how the court handled it? "

Cui Xiaofen asked with a smile, but the smile was a bit helpless.

"Perhaps it is because Cui Xiaoyan was the rebel's insider that he lost the battle, and that's why he suffered such a disastrous defeat, but that's right."

Liu Yishou sighed.

"People say that Dudu Liu is the only one in Erzhu Rongjun who is more wise. Look, isn't that right? After that, our whole family fled abroad, and the bitterness in it is hard to express."

Unexpectedly, Cui Xiaofen still has such a time, and she really confirmed the sentence: Life often has ups and downs, or you can be happy with things instead of sad with yourself.

"The reason why I came down to look for Liu Dudu is that apart from you, Er Zhurong's army is full of wolves, tigers and leopards, and they cannot be relied on. And Yuan Ziyou... don't mention it, because I had an experience with Yuan Xie back then, so I treat them very well." The few children in the family are quite concerned, including Yuan Juli."

Cui Xiaofen smiled at Liu Yishou, but this smile was rather ambiguous.

"To tell you the truth, sir, I'm going to attack Zheng Yan soon, is it right for you to follow me now?"

Liu Yishou felt that Cui Xiaofen's thinking was too simple, and that the complex and changeable situation in Luoyang was not entirely due to Er Zhurong's thoughts.Yuan Ziyou is not a worry, let alone Fei Mu who just returned to Luoyang.

"Liu Dudu is so forgetful. When you went to the nunnery, you rescued many young women, including young girls. Of course, if these people were not rescued by you, they would be sold, or they would be killed. Send it to Yongning Temple.

What happened to Yongning Temple, does Liu Dudu really not know at all? "

Across the table, Cui Xiaofen bent down and gave a big gift to Liu Yishou.

And this thing?

Liu Yishou thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was such a thing, but at that time he only cared about saving Zhu Ying'e, and the remaining women were just NPCs in his eyes, and he just let him go away on his own.

Cui Xiaofen was in Luoyang at the time, and her daughter didn't experience any setbacks when she came home. Of course, it's not easy to say that some families don't live in Luoyang.

"This...in fact, I didn't do anything, I don't get paid for nothing."

Liu Yishou hastily declined, for fear that Cui Xiaofen would say that after Yuan Xu's death, her daughter had no one to rely on, Barabara, or something like that.

There are enough dainty ladies in my backyard, really enough.

But if others don't speak, can't you still guess?

This time Liu Yishou didn't know what to say.Cui Xiaofen has a lot to say, and it's hard to follow up.

"Liu Dudu, there are some things I want to say to the Dudu during my next visit. It's just that there are too many people here, so it's not convenient. After nightfall, I'll go down to the Dudu's residence and have a private chat in the study, how about it?"

Cui Xiaofen said in a low voice.

Sure enough, something happened!

"Okay then, let's talk about it tonight."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said.Cui Xiaofen is not an easy person, standing behind him is the Boling Cui family!This and Cui Jiong are two different things!
Cui Jiong can only be regarded as the son of the Cui family in Qinghe, his attitude cannot explain the attitude of the Cui family.But Cui Xiaofen is different, he is almost the spokesperson of the Boling Cui family in Luoyang.

After Cui Xiaofen left, Yu Jin sneaked in and locked the door.

"This Cui Xiaofen is not simple."

Yu Jin said in a low voice.

"Why is it not easy?"

"Back then, their family was wanted all over the country, but they were not caught. Do you think it's easy?"

That is really not easy, it is estimated that through "operation", let the court "amnesty the world", and then they will naturally be exonerated.Yu Jin was very clear about such matters as being wanted, and explained to Liu Yishou the unspoken rules of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Sure enough, those who make the law can operate the law.

"and then?"

"They don't like Er Zhurong, but they like you dear brother."

Yu Jin smiled.

"What's interesting about me, and I don't have a background." Liu Yishou said angrily.

"Because there is no backstage, they will be your backstage. Why can't you understand such an obvious truth?"

Yu Jin saw right away what Cui Xiaofen was here for.

"Bet so early? What's the point of betting on me?"

Liu Yishou was speechless for a moment.

"Anyway, don't be idle if you are idle. Once you fail, they can leave. Besides, these are all my guesses. If you ask him if he is determined, he may be working under your command. ?

These things are very sensible. "

Yu Jin's words are not unreasonable, it's just that Liu Yishou doesn't understand why Cui Xiaofen came to him.Could it be that people like He Bayue and Gao Huan are not worth betting on?
"However, Gao Huan congratulates Ba Yue and the others..."

"How do you know that the Cui family didn't go to them?"

Yu Jin seemed to have guessed what Liu Yishou was thinking, and asked him back.

Dudu Liu was speechless now.The northern aristocratic family has deep roots, Cui Xiaofen didn't find Gao Huan, so didn't anyone else?

Ha ha, I really think too much.

For the aristocratic families, only children do multiple-choice questions, and their solution is: I want them all!
……

At night, Cui Xiaofen arrived as scheduled.Liu Yishou had only moved to this new large courtyard for a few days, and the other party was able to find him precisely, which was enough to show that not all the family members in Luoyang were idiots.

People also know how to do their homework.

But it wasn't just Cui Xiaofen who came, there was also a plain-looking beauty who didn't even have a red hairpin in her hair.She looks very well-behaved and beautiful, and her appearance is naturally not as good as Yuan Juli's, but her temperament is indescribably gentle.

There are almost no "edges" on the body.

This girl looked very different from the ones in his backyard, Liu Yishou didn't know what trick Cui Xiaofen was playing, so he had to lead her to the main room first, and then took Cui Xiaofen to the study, leaving this mysterious girl to wait in the main room alone.

The two came to the study and sat down, Liu Yishou asked with some doubts: "That little lady is..."

"My adopted daughter, Jia, is named Jia Chunhua. She eats and lives with us on weekdays, but she also does some housework."

The name is the adopted daughter, but she is actually a servant.He can cook, wash, and sweep the floor at ordinary times, can sleep when he likes it, and can give it away at critical moments. He is really a versatile "talent".

Liu Yishou couldn't help feeling that Cui Xiaofen really knows how to behave.

If you send your daughter to your nominal boss, then you must be suspected of being in love with her, and it's not nice to say it.But sending "adopted daughter" is no problem.

These so-called "adopted daughters" are actually adopted daughters from poor families who cannot survive, and then decide their future "route" according to their own growth direction.

The one brought here today must have certain "specialties".

As for whether she is an adopted daughter or not, that is just a matter of Cui Xiaofen's words.He said it was an adopted daughter, that is, he said it was a maid, it was a maid, it all depends on the needs.

Evil feudal society ah!Powerful heaven!

Liu Yishou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Mr. Cui is here tonight, is there anything private you want to say to me?"

Liu Yishou asked straight to the point.

"Liu Dudu has done many things, not only for his subordinates, but also for many insightful people."

Cui Xiaofen said with emotion.

Liu Yishou didn't answer, and waited for the next sentence.

"This is a letter from Mrs. Feng. Yesterday, she left Luoyang and went to Changle County (Jizhou City, Hebei Province) under special escort. She will tell someone about everything that happened in Luoyang."

Cui Xiaofen did not say who the "certain people" are, but it is actually easy to guess.

Liu Yishou took the letter and opened it, on which Feng Linghua briefly thanked him for saving his life, then said that Cui Xiaofen was highly respected, please take care of him and so on, and did not say anything else.

It is estimated that Feng Linghua was also afraid that this letter would fall into the hands of someone else.

"Madam Feng asked you to come?"

Liu Yishou put down the letter and asked.

"She found me and told me a lot about you. I felt, Er Zhurong, I'm afraid I haven't killed enough. Now you're going to attack Zheng Yan. Don't Er Zhurong have any generals who are used to fighting? Can't he send someone else? Doesn't he know that you are very useful in Luoyang?

In fact, he knew it all, he just disliked you for getting in the way, and transferred you away quietly.When you're gone, it's easy for him to do things.If I don't leave now, am I waiting for Er Zhurong to come and destroy the family? "

Liu Yishou also didn't expect Cui Xiaofen to have such insights. Sure enough, it's not that there are no smart people in Luoyang City, and it's not that there are no smart people in the aristocratic family, they are just sometimes blinded by interests!
"Go and talk to Commander Erzhu tomorrow..."

Before Liu Yishou finished speaking, Cui Xiaofen quickly interrupted: "Don't go, you will be killed if you go. You are only one person, but everyone under Er Zhurong's command wants to burn, kill and loot in Luoyang, you can't stop it Their.

You stand in their way and sooner or later they will get rid of you.It's better to go early and get rid of the relationship early.

With Mrs. Feng coming forward to negotiate, it will be easy for you to gain a foothold in Hebei, so defeat Zheng Yan first. "
