Li Zheer chose two maids, one was thirteen, Xier and the other was fifteen, Xiaoying. They were all women from small families, not beautiful, they were light-hearted, and they could work with humble hands and feet, which was mainly in line with Li Zheer's scruples.

The new house has complete facilities and no need to purchase anything. Only the surrounding market and daily necessities store must be clearly understood. Qu Shu was very considerate in the area of ​​Liu Yu and Li Zheer. Qu Shu was very confident in safety, because the surrounding area was the territory of the carriage and horse gang. He had everything in place, and even the maid's room was ready, and the sky gradually became darker. Liu Yu didn't eat anything for a day, so Li Zheer personally cooked and prepared dinner to entertain Qu Shu.

Before the food was served, Qu Shu took the excuse to say goodbye, as if he was deliberately not trying to disturb the world of Liu Yu and Li Zheer. Liu Yu left a sum of money for Li Zheer and was about to leave. Li Zheer personally brought the food and put it down and asked, "Master, are you not leaving?"

The first time someone called him "Master", Liu Yu was not used to it at first. In his impression, "Master" could always be associated with the lustful old man who looked pampered and looked fine and could only tease his maid.

Besides, he is still young, so there is no question that he is too "old".

"Zhe'er, can you change the name? I don't feel used to it." Liu Yu smiled.

Li Zheer lowered his head shyly and said, "If you don't call me master, what else can you call me? Zheer is now your concubine."

The ancients said that there were three wives and four concubines, but strictly speaking, they were monogamous and multiple concubines. Needless to mention the status of the wife, the status of the wife was also divided into ranks. For example, when a wealthy family was a concubine, men had no right to sell them or give them to others. Their status was more similar to a "balanced wife", just like Li Zhe'er. If a maid who sold himself as a slave was favored by a man and was promoted to a "concubine", his status still had no fundamental change. Although they were also wives, they were still similar to maids.

After all, Li Zheer spent most of her girls' time in Zangyunfang, and she always felt a little ashamed. In front of Liu Yu, she seemed even more humble and regarded herself as an ordinary concubine and maid. In her heart, as long as she could be with Liu Yu, it didn't matter whether she had a status or not.

"Let's call me my son in the future." Liu Yu remembered the Han sisters' name to him, "In the future, you will officially pass the door, and it's not too late to talk about the new title. When the new emperor's choice of concubine is over, I will welcome you into the door as soon as possible and reunite the family as soon as possible. If you rest, I'll go back first."

Although Liu Yu did not leave the formal manners of being a real couple with her, Liu Yu said that the "family" reunion had already listed her as his own person, which also touched Li Zheer in disappointment. She also looked forward to the day when she officially entered the Liu family.

After all, Liu Yu still didn't stay. He walked out the door alone, and the guards were still waiting at the entrance of the alley. Liu Yu came out and saw someone unexpectedly. Qu Shu was standing in the corner of the wall, as if he was waiting for him on purpose. When he saw Liu Yu, he came over with a hint of smile.

"Dang Qu's family, haven't returned yet?" Liu Yu asked in surprise.

"I just want to stay and confirm my guess. Unexpectedly, General Liu refused to stay and wanted to go back early to report to his wife. It seems that the rumors from the outside world are not unreasonable."

Qu Shu is a very clever girl, with a playful speech with a few words similar to joking. Her joking is definitely not like Qu Ning's words.

Liu Yu himself knew what the outside world said that he was "stricken by his wife". He didn't expect Qu Shu would make fun of this matter.

Seeing that even the entourage around Qu Shu was waiting alone, Liu Yu knew that she had something to do, he asked, "What's wrong with the Qu family?"

"I just told you about one thing. Recently, there was a group of people in Chang'an City. They were of unknown origin but very generous. They even made many promises to the chariot and horse gang that they would win over with generous rewards."

Liu Yu frowned and said, "How did the Qu family deal with it?"

Qu Shu smiled and said, "If it is not bad as expected, they should have colluded with the group of people who are not good for the Xingqing Association. Now that the Xingqing Association is setting, the mountain wants to hit the carriage and horse gang again. General Liu is worried that whether it is selfish revenge or your relationship with my brother, there will be no friction with the court."

Liu Yu nodded and said no exaggeration to say any friction. In fact, these gangsters were originally unwilling tolerated by the court, and friction was inevitable.

"As long as the chariot and horse gangs are dedicated to seeking welfare for the peace and tranquility of Chang'an City, the court will naturally not make things difficult for it."

This is a gentleman's appointment. Now the defense of the entire Chang'an City is under the control of Liu Yu. As long as Liu Yu speaks, the people below will naturally not target the chariot and horse gangs. In this way, the official and black faces of Chang'an City can be controlled by the court, and there is a win-win situation.

…………

On the eighth day of the eighth month, the third day of the new emperor's succession was also the first time since the new emperor became a country.

Because Chang'an City is still in the midst of national mourning, everything in the palace is based on the funeral of the previous emperor. The court discussion originally held in Fengcui Palace or the side hall was held at the temporary office of the palace at the Liutai Yamen. More than 30 ministers squeezed in from the small room, and even the air seemed a little turbid.

It was light raining on this day, and the mourning clothes worn by each courtier when he came were more or less wet. The colleagues were chatting casually while walking, but when they entered the Six-Taiwan Yamen, they saw the new emperor sitting upright in the head position, no one spoke again.

Right Prime Minister Yuan Bolang, President of the Imperial Guard Liu Yu and Xinzhu Jun Su Bi are the three most powerful ministers around the new emperor. They are also listed at this time. The senior officials of the Three Departments and Six Ministry, except for those who have special responsibilities, are also on the list of people discussed today.

The court discussion was reasonably chaired by the right prime minister Yuan Bolang, and the new emperor was only a listener. The content discussed today was based on the rules. The emperor had the power to question at any time. Of course, the emperor could not speak from beginning to end. The basic thing about the court discussion was to solve the problem. If the problem was solved, it didn't matter whether the emperor expressed his opinion. It was the time for the court officials to recite the book alone.

The content of the court discussion was not too much. The first was the security of Chang'an City. The two young men of the capital, Sui Yi and Chai Jin, wanted to report to the emperor and the court officials that Chai Jin was stupid. This kind of thing was summed up by Sui Yi. It was roughly summed up that "Chang'an is fine". The daily lives of the people did not have much influence due to national mourning. Chang'an was fine, and the two young men of the capital made great contributions. Su Yan also praised a few politely. At this time, Su Bi suggested that Su Yi be promoted to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Su Bi looked at Liu Yu at a special glance, which means "mutual benefit". Sui Yi was Liu Yu's person, and promoting his subordinates to his ally was equivalent to adding a bargaining chip to himself. This proposal is reasonable. The prefect of Jingzhao in Chang'an City was indeed vacant for a long time after theft case was investigated. It was time to support one of the two prefectures. Sui Yi and Chai Jin, a discerning person could tell the difference at a glance. Chai Jin was at most a son-in-law who had mixed experience in his office.

The starting point of this proposal is good, but Yuan Bolang had objections. He believed that since Sui Yi was the deputy censor of the Censorate and the young minister of the Jingfu, he should be promoted again in the Censorate, rather than from the "central" to the "local", which is equivalent to demotion. Yuan Bolang proposed that the local prefect, who performed well in Guanzhong disaster relief this time, was promoted to the Jingfu Prefecture Prefecture, which was considered a conscription at the same level.

The public security in Chang'an City is now very important. Liu Yu did not want to leave the vacancy of Jingzhao Prefecture to others. In this position, he was the same as Su Bi, who was just to keep it in his own hands to facilitate his control over the situation inside and outside Chang'an City.

"Emperor, the safety of the capital of the capital involves the safety of the royal family. I think it is necessary to find someone familiar with Chang'an City to take on the position of Jingzhao Prefecture. In this regard, Sui Shaoyin is more suitable." Liu Yu suggested in public.

Originally, Sui Yi and Liu Yu had a different relationship, and Liu Yu was not suitable for expressing his opinions, but when he mentioned it, no one would feel anything. After all, Liu Yu was actually politely refusing Yuan Bolang's "good intention" to promote Sui Yi.

Whenever there is something wrong, the matter will be handed over to the emperor to make a judgment. The vacancy of Jingzhao Prefecture involves the appointment and removal of local officials. It was originally an errand for the Ministry of Personnel. Liu Yu gave a wink. Su Yan clearly understood in the summary of today's court discussions written by Liu Yu. The minister of the Ministry of Personnel must first ask the Minister of Personnel Ruan Wanqi. Ruan Wanqi is the kind of person who is very good at changing the situation. At this time, he humbly asked the emperor to "sage" for "the sage".

"I think Commander Liu's opinion is more pertinent." Su Yan said, "The Jingzhao Prefecture Prime Minister is related to the safety of Chang'an City. After I became a new country, I should find someone familiar with Chang'an City to take on this responsibility."

All the words were told by Liu Yu in advance. Although Su Yan was still a little unconfident when he said it, fortunately he had some regict power, which was intimidating.

The vacancy of Jingzhao Prefecture was settled, and the first court discussion was concluded. Later, the Ministry of Revenue and the Censorate reported on the drought and disaster relief in Guanzhong, as well as the appointment and removal of local officials who were unfavorable during this disaster relief. Recently, the Censorate was basically sent by the old emperor to local supervision officials to provide disaster relief, and even the national funeral was not too late to rush back.

There is basically nothing to discuss about these. The disaster needs to be rescued with all efforts. Those who fail to provide disaster relief should be exempted from punishment. For fear that some officials will use the disaster to fill their pockets. However, in this report, there is no mention of those who have filled their pockets. It is hard to say whether there are any ones who have filled their pockets.

The court discussion was held in an atmosphere of slightly sadness. After all, it was a national funeral. Some things should be avoided. Anything related to the decree of the emperor must be avoided or even written a memorial book and a separate recitation was held. Until noon, there was no sign of lunch in the office of Liutai Yamen.

The last issue, and the most important one of today's issues, is the matter of selling officials and establishing a trade department.

It was originally a final decision, and the emperor only needed to announce it in public. But perhaps Yuan Bolang was dissatisfied that day, or perhaps this matter was too harmful to the foundation of the country. Today, there were many ministers who raised objections in the court discussion, and almost everyone opposed the establishment of a trade department, and even the proposal to sell some idle officials could not be approved for the time being.
