I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 2 Respectfully invite the disciples of Changyi Kingdom

After Liu He finished speaking, all the officials patted the dust on their robes and stood up in a dignified manner.

At this time, the expressions on the faces of the officials became more lively, and the oppressive atmosphere was loosened. There was some fresh air in the originally solemn and dull hall.

These officials are actually familiar faces.

In the past two years, Liu He got along very happily with them. He used his knowledge and thinking to help Changyi Kingdom solve many difficult problems.

As big as persuading Nongsang, as small as settling lawsuits, Liu He can always give some unique opinions. These opinions are ridiculous at first glance, but they can often play an unexpected role.

Liu He's participation brought a new look to the dreary state of Changyi.

Over time, the Minister of Changyi and the lieutenant of Changyi, and the governors of various Caos, were quite convinced of Liu He. Whenever they encountered difficult problems that they could not understand, they were willing to seek Liu He's opinion.

However, seemingly harmonious, in fact, there are risks.

The ancestral system of "princes and kings governing the country" is like a sword hanging over Liu He's head.

If someone caught this handle, they would be reprimanded at the least, expelled from the country and nobles at the worst, and might even be exiled.

After thinking hard, Liu He created an excuse for himself.

On the fifteenth day of every month, Liu He will hold a virtuous meeting in the Changyi Hall: on the surface, it is to discuss the classics with the virtuous literature in the county, but in fact it is to help the Cao Cao solve the difficult things at hand.

In order to avoid suspicion, Liu He only helps Zhu Cao solve three things every month, and the number is limited. Anyone who wants to get this opportunity will have to fight.

For this reason, Liu He also nicknamed himself "the official of Changyi Kingdom".

The so-called subordinate officials are actually the private advisers of the officials, and the "Changyi Kingdom's subordinate officials" are the servants of the entire Changyi Kingdom, specializing in solving trivial matters.

No matter how dignified princes and kings want to be an unknown official, this sounds like an extremely absurd thing.

However, being scolded as a lunatic is better than expelling the country.

Anyway, the former Liu He did not do less insane things, one more is not too much, and one less is not too much.

What's more, epilepsy can also be used as a cover for himself.

The general in Chang'an finally chose himself as emperor because he valued his playfulness and insanity.

Therefore, Liu He happily intervened in the political affairs of Changyi Kingdom under the pretext of being an official of the Changyi Kingdom.

Of course, the "big officials" such as Changyi Prime Minister and Changyi Lieutenant will not come to Liu He's virtuous meeting. Those who come are all the secondary officials of the Cao Cao—they are all officials of about two hundred shi, insignificant, Naturally, it will not attract the attention of outsiders.

Liu He, who was firmly seated on the throne, counted with his eyes, there were eleven people standing in His Highness, exactly the same number as Yu Wuyou said, this Lang Zhong was as capable and rigorous as ever.

"Everyone, let's start. Today, who will be the first to start?" Liu He asked.

The crowd immediately began to give in, one on the left "please invite the famous people first", and the other "I dare not", they pushed back and forth, but no one started to talk about business.

Liu He frowned, he didn't like this kind of useless red tape.

Just when Liu He was giving Yu Wuyou a wink, wanting the latter to urge him, a strong man with a beard and a Xiezhi crown pushed away several colleagues and stood up, complaining non-stop. : "Didn't you guys just argue so much that you insisted on asking the subordinates to help you out? Why are you pushing back now?"

"I, Chen Xiu, am impatient, so I won't give in to you all."

Chen Xiu is the law official of the Lieutenant's Mansion, with a violent personality, and he is considered an outlier among the Confucian scholars who uphold the doctrine of the mean. His vulgar complaints just now have attracted everyone's attention, but he didn't realize it at all, and even more so. don't take it to heart

Although it is different, Liu He appreciates it very much.

"Then Chen Qing will first talk about the difficulties you Facao encountered."

"only!"

Chen Xiu took out a wooden tablet and read it according to the content on it.

"A few days ago, the thief Cao suppressed a lair of water bandits in Dayozawa, and arrested more than a hundred people. The gangsters have already confessed, but the thief leader did not confess."

Chen Xiu not only behaved vulgarly, but also smeared black words in his words, which made his colleagues frown and shake their heads again and again.

"Since you already have the confessions of the minions, and you were caught in the old lair, it can be regarded as the stolen goods. You don't need to spit out the buckle, and you Facao should be able to close the case."

Liu He had an impression of Onozawa. It was a large lake washed out by the Yellow River in the north of Changyi Kingdom.

Hundreds of water bandits are active in this big wild lake, they make a living by robbing merchants, and there is a lot of commotion.

"According to common sense, the case can be closed, but this group of water bandits once robbed several giant merchants in Chang'an, and they are famous in the Ting Wei's mansion, so the lieutenant specially ordered that the iron case must be closed, and the iron case is There must be a statement from the chief criminal."

"I've seen your facao's skills before, so I use them all the same. I'm not afraid that the other party won't confess, right?"

In this era, corporal punishment is very common, and extorting confessions by torture is even more commonplace.

Chen Xiu hesitated for a while, and then said a little discouraged: "This thief is so tough, we have used all the methods we can, but we just don't open our mouths."

"Then what do you want the widow to do?"

"I want His Highness to go down and give us advice on how to get him to confess."

Liu He really didn't want to go to the dark and damp county jail, the smell of blood inside made him sick, but the rules are the rules, since he is known as the official of the Changyi country, he should not pick or choose, treat everyone equally, and do all the dirty work. Dry.

"Well, the widow knows, this matter is really important, sure."

Seeing that Liu He agreed, Chen Xiu raised his brows with joy, and there was a smile uglier than crying on his black face.

"only!"

Liu He waved his hand, motioning for Chen Xiu to back down.

According to the procedures of the literary conference, when Zhu Caoshi said one thing, Liu He would decide one thing. As the number of places gradually decreased, they would be more proactive, which could greatly improve the efficiency of handling affairs.

Sure enough, Chen Xiu here had just retreated, and before the others could react, a man with mischievous eyebrows nimbly squeezed in front of Liu He from the gap in the crowd.

"The little official, Wang He, has something to report to the door."

This Wang He is Tian Caoshi, who is in charge of persuading farmers and mulberry. Perhaps because he has been dealing with farmers all the year round, this two-hundred-dollar official looks no different from an old farmer.

Like Chen Xiu, Wang He is also an outlier. Confucianism believes that governance should be based on agriculture, but if Confucian scholars who have become officials are really asked to farm land and raise silkworms, I am afraid that no one can bear the hardship.

Farming is very hard, and Liu He doesn't like farming, but like that fellow librarian, he respects the farmers who farm the land, and knows that the power of farmers is endless.

"Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and Tian Cao's affairs are naturally no small matter. Please tell Wang Cao Shi."

"We have recently made a new batch of plows according to the design you gave us. Please come and have a look with us and teach us how to use them."

Liu He had a headache, and he would come here for whatever he was afraid of. Plowing the land was not an easy task.
