Familiar courtyard, familiar time, familiar smell, a faint powdery smell, mixed with sandalwood, lingering in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Diao Kui was dressed in a bright red official robe, sitting upright behind a major case, and Diao Kui
Xie Ze was dressed like a long history, sitting on a small table on one side. Beside his couch, an emperor's staff stood there. There were a group of big and round guards on both sides of the hall, and Liu Yi was dressed in a green official uniform.
Standing in the hall dressed as a military official.
Diao Xie, with white powder on his face, was burning sandalwood beside the couch where he was kneeling, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Why, Liu Sima also wants to learn from Liu Yu and Liu Lizheng back then, come and check it out
Are our brothers pretending to be honest? This time we all have official status, and this scepter was also given by the emperor himself. If you want to sue us, first think about the punishment for false accusations in the laws of the Jin Dynasty before you speak."
Liu Yi smiled slightly and shook his head: "Da Diao, the governor, and Xiao Diao, the chief historian, the power you two have in Southern Xuzhou was conferred by the Holy One in person in the court after the Feishui Battle. The lower official was also present at the time. Wan Wan
I don’t dare to question it at all. It’s just that the laws and regulations of the imperial court require us, as parents and officials, to take the lead in maintaining and implementing them. In the past two years, many subordinate officials have not given much advice on your practices here. They just want to remind you.
Just to put it bluntly, this is Jingkou, which is the source of troops when the imperial court is in trouble, and where meritorious officers and soldiers are concentrated. You two should take this into account when doing things."
Diao Kui said coldly: "As a local official, I naturally know the laws of the court. As for other places, I do not fail to act in accordance with the laws. The laws of the Jin Dynasty stipulate that debts cannot be repaid.
Those who resist the imperial court can naturally be sold as slaves. I was in other places before. In order to understand the urgent needs of the people, I gave them some money. If they can't pay it back, they naturally have to work for my Diao family and become tenants. This is
Where is the violation of the law?"
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Diao Governor, this way of exorbitant interest, forcing people to go bankrupt, and then forcing good people to work as tenants, you said it so righteously, I also admire it, but in Jingkou, the people do not
If they are willing to take advantage of you, they will be exempted from tax and military service if they become soldiers themselves, and they don’t need to borrow the interest money from you."
The muscles on Diao Xie's face twitched: "Here, we just considered the specialness of Jingkou, so we didn't do this. Even if we opened a gambling house, we were dissuaded by King Kuaiji and Wang Pushe. Our Diao family wanted to
The country, donating money, and working hard to take care of the people, is quite interesting, but why is it so unbearable when it comes to your mouth, Liu Sima?"
Liu Yi shook his head: "I have no intention of lowering my rank, and I dare not accuse the two superiors. There is nothing unbearable. We all work for the court, and we need to understand and cooperate with each other. You see, many of your current personal guards are
The veterans of the Beifu Army who had participated in the war before were introduced to me by my superior officer at that time, just to put an end to some of the unpleasantness in the past."
Diao Kui said coldly: "When my brother first came to Jingkou, he had high hopes for you Liu Zheng. It's a pity that you sided with Liu Yu and went against us. For the sake of the country, we will not settle these grievances with you."
I don't care, you introduced some veterans to come to us. It's just that these people are refugees from Jiangbei. They can't make a living here, they don't have a family, and they can't support themselves even if they are divided into land. You don't want these burdens, so you just leave them to us, but you can say
It sounds so good, but it seems like we owe you a favor. People say that Brother Liu Xile is thoughtful and a hero. We have learned a lot from dealing with you in the past few years. No need to beat around the bush, just tell us what you have to say.
"
Liu Yi laughed: "Shuang Kuai, the Diao brothers are indeed rare among the children of the aristocratic family to have this kind of charlatanism. I like to deal with Kuai Kuai. Let me tell you clearly, this time my husband is planning it himself, and Xuan Shuai will preside over the new round.
For the Northern Expedition, an order has been issued, requiring the veterans of the Beifu Army to assemble in Guangling City within three days. Reports indicate that Jingkou is the place with the largest number of veterans of the Beifu Army, and the task of gathering is handed over to Xiaguan. Presumably, the two adults also
You must have received the order from the court."
Diao Kui's expression remained unchanged and he looked at Liu Yi: "We received an order to recruit men and provide food to help the army in the Northern Expedition, but no one told us anything about the meeting at Guangling within three days. Liu Sima
Please see, the official document is here."
Diao Kui said, winking at Diao Xie on the side. Diao Xie stood up, picked up a scroll, stepped forward, and unfolded it in front of Liu Yi: "How about it, Liu Sima, did you receive the scroll?"
Is the order different from this one? My eyesight is not very good. Could you please point out where it says that we will set off for the expedition in three days?"
Liu Yi read the whole scroll and shook his head: "What I received here is the military order issued by Marshal Xuan as the governor of the five states and the general of the town army. It is not exactly an official document from the imperial court. The military situation is like a fire, and it is in line with the local government."
Compared with the government decree, it is more urgent."
Diao Kui sneered and said: "I'm sorry, Liu Sima, I only accept the decrees of the imperial court, and I am directly under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Right Servant She Guobao Wang. The governor of the five states can't give me orders. And the strange thing about me is that
, it seems that you are not a soldier of the Beifu Army now, you, the Sima of South Xuzhou, should also be subject to the orders of the imperial court, why should you accept any military orders? "
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Perhaps Governor Diao has forgotten that Commander Xuan is now the military governor of the five states, including South Xuzhou, and as the general of the Zhenjun, he is in charge of the commander-in-chief of the Beifu Army. Naturally, he is also responsible for Beifu, which is in a state of demobilization and return to the fields.
Veterans of the army have jurisdiction. In the past two years, most of the officials who have migrated to Jingkou have been obtained by veterans of the Beifu Army who have made meritorious service and have been awarded titles. They are also in charge of the old brothers, so that if there is a war, they can respond and assemble quickly.
Therefore, it is a military order to arrive in Guangling within three days, and it can be handled directly by your subordinates."
Diao Xie's expression changed: "Military order? Now that there is no invasion by foreign enemies, what military order can control local officials? Is it Jing Zhaoyin and Danyang Prefect? You also have to control it?"
Liu Yi shook his head calmly: "There are not many veterans returning home in Danyang, but this is Jingkou. The two adults should understand the special features by now. Liu here does not make any undue demands to the two adults.
I don’t need you to prepare food and fodder. As long as you can order the Li Zheng from each township to be responsible for gathering the old brothers, I would be very grateful."
Diao Kui burst into laughter suddenly, and kept laughing for a long time. He laughed to the end, and suddenly a murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he stabbed Liu Yi: "Liu Xile, do you want to rebel?!"
