Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 444

Empress Dowager Li said: "Oh. With so many errands, it's really difficult for Feng Bao."

Zhang Jing took the opportunity to slander: "Queen Mother, you are really kind to He Liu! Every time he comes back from business, you will give him a reward."

Empress Dowager Li said: "If you devote yourself like He Liu, Aijia will reward you like this."

While pinching the shoulders of Empress Dowager Li, Zhang Jing said: "How dare a servant girl compare with He Liuye. He is such a shrewd and capable person. In order to maintain the New Deal, a vassal king and a son-in-law, he will do what he says. What kind of skill and courage is that."

Empress Dowager Li frowned upon hearing this.

It is true that it was her empress dowager's intention to ask He Liu to rectify Liao Wang and his son-in-law Xu Congcheng and maintain the New Deal.

But in all dynasties, no monarch would want to see his subjects become so powerful!Neither a vassal king nor a prince consort is He Liu's opponent.May I ask how many people in the court dare to be enemies with He Liu?

Although Queen Mother Li is a woman, the power in her hands is no different from that of the king of a country.She was a greedy person.Zhang Jing's words made her feel a little uneasy.

He Liu now dominates the Jinyiwei family, will Jinyiwei become a monolith that cannot be pierced by needles or splashed by water in the future?
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Li said: "Zhang Jing, put on your casual clothes, go to the home of Liu Shouyou, commander of Jinyiwei, and quietly invite him into Kunning Palace."

Zhang Jing said: "The slaves obey the Queen Mother's order."

Liu Shou had this command envoy, which was originally placed by the late Emperor Longqing in the Jinyiwei.Liu Shouyou was the son of Liu Tianhe, a famous minister of the Zhengde Dynasty, and belonged to the Qing school in the court.At the beginning, Emperor Longqing put him in the position of commander to show that he would not abuse domestic slaves to rule the world.

Liu Shouyou understood Emperor Longqing's original intention.Therefore, in the past seven years, he has made the decorations with peace of mind.He served as the commander of Jinyiwei for seven years, and he took seven years of sick leave.

Half an hour later, Liu Shouyou entered the Kunning Palace and met with Empress Dowager Li alone.

No one knew what Empress Dowager Li had said to Liu Shouyou.

The next day, Liu Shouyou, who had taken seven years of sick leave, came to the Jinyiwei Yamen for an unprecedented job!
He Liu was shocked, Li Heijiu was shocked, and all the old Jinyiwei brothers were shocked!
He Liu came to the command envoy's duty room, met with Liu Shouyou, and found out.

"He Liu, the governor of Beizhen, pay my respects to Commander Liu!"

Liu Shouyou hurriedly supported He Liu: "Master Liu please get up quickly! How dare I be your obeisance?"

He Liudao: "Hearing that Commander Liu has cured his illness, the subordinates are extremely happy."

Liu Shouyou smiled wryly: "Master Liu, don't slander in front of people who understand. I have been sick for the past seven years, can you not know? I know, you must be thinking in your heart: Liu Shouyou is this guy. What kind of madness did you smoke? He actually went back to Jinyiwei to work! He really thinks he is the leader of Jinyiwei?"

He Liu hurriedly said: "Commander, my subordinates absolutely dare not think so."

Liu Shouyou said: "Oh, what you think is up to you. There is a saying, I want to tell you. A person has too much power in the court, and there must be someone in the palace who is afraid of him! There is a saying in the officialdom , It’s called mixing sand. I, Liu Shouyou, am the man in the palace now, mixing the sand in Jinyiwei!"

He Liu is a smart person.He immediately understood that it was Empress Dowager Li's intention that Liu Shou returned to Jinyiwei.It must be that the Empress Dowager Li was afraid that Jinyiwei's old Liuwei would not be able to lose, so she sent Liu Shouyou to her side to check and balance herself.

He Liu cupped his hands and said, "Commander Liu, I fully understand what you said."

Liu Shou nodded: "One thing, please rest assured! I, Liu Shouyou, have read the books of sages, and I claim to be a sensible person! Whether the New Deal is good or bad, I know it well! Although I have returned to Jinyiwei, I am I will never be an enemy of the New Deal and you Liuye He."

After finishing speaking, Liu Shouyou walked up to He Liu and whispered in a low voice: "But, Mingli, the two of us have to pretend to be incompatible and show it to the man in the palace."

As soon as Liu Shouyou said this, He Liu made his own judgment: Liu Shouyou is different from Zhu Xixiao.He is a good man!

He Liudao: "Commander Liu, don't worry. From now on, I will be your enemy on the surface and your friend in secret."

Liu Shouyou sat back on the chair, changed his tone, and said arrogantly: "He Liu, go and gather all the thousands of households, and go to the commander's room to discuss matters!"

He Liu glanced at Liu Shou tacitly, and said, "This subordinate obeys orders."

Not long after, Li Heijiu and all the thousands of households came to the commander's room.

Liu Shouyou said loudly: "Everyone, I have been ill for seven years. I received the commander's salary empty-handed, but I didn't do anything for Jinyiwei. I am really ashamed! Now my illness is cured. From now on, Jinyiwei will manage Every case, big or small, must go through the hands of my commander! Let's work together to serve the emperor and the court."

Li Heijiu and the others looked at each other.

He Liu said in a high voice: "Everyone, from now on we will only follow Commander Liu!"

Li Heijiu and the others said in unison unwillingly: "From now on, I hope that Commander Liu will follow the lead."

After leaving the errand, a group of old Jinyiwei brothers came to He Liu's house.

Bai Xiaoyan, the sister-in-law, prepared delicious food and wine for the old brothers.

Wang Ba said, "Sixth Brother, what does Liu Shouyou mean? For so many years, Jinyiwei has been under the control of Sixth Brother! Now when he returns to Jinyiwei, he will point fingers at our brothers. What are you talking about? Commander's hand! Nonsense! He is a poor scholar, does he know how to handle the case?"

Eleventh Eleventh Li Zipian also complained: "Our Jinyiwei specializes in secret errands. Liu Shouyou is a scholar. If he uses chicken feathers as arrows and gives orders indiscriminately, sooner or later, the brothers will mess up the errands!"

Qi Shisan said: "Sixth brother, can you talk to Zhang Shoufu and Feng Gonggong? Just ask them to submit the booklet to the emperor, and ask the emperor to dismiss Liu Shouyou. Let you be the commander! It deserves its name!"

He Liu pretended to be angry: "Liu Shouyou really used himself as a dish! Over the years, I, He Liu, picked out one of the cases I handled at random and gave it to Liu Shouyou. I guess he I’m going to be deflated! Now it’s good, he said he’s going back to Jinyiwei! Relying on his empty title of commander, he rides on our brothers’ necks and gives orders!”

What He Liu said was for Li Heijiu, the governor of Nanzhen, and Li Gao, the uncle of the country, who were in the dining room.

Li Heijiu was single-handedly promoted by Queen Mother Li.Li Gao is the younger brother of Empress Dowager Li.These two people are both Queen Mother Li's people.

Although He Liu has a good relationship with Li Heijiu and Li Gao on a daily basis.But who knows, will these two people pass on what he said to Queen Mother Li?So He Liu pretended to be at odds with Liu Shouyou.He knew that what Empress Dowager Li wanted to see most was that he and Liu Shou were incompatible!
He Liu changed the subject, and said again: "But, let's talk about it. After all, Liu Shouyou is the commander of Jinyiwei. From now on, we can't just fight with him for power and neglect our own duties! The cases we handle, he wants If you intervene, let him intervene. We have a clear conscience in everything, and we are afraid that he will not be able to intervene?"
