Two hundred and ninetieth chapters behind the scenes trade-offs
The prefect of Li County is back.
What came back with him was the news of two great victories in the southern battlefields of Taiming City and Baitong City, so the whole city was boiling.
If you are in a border county, what news can be more reassuring than a great victory at the border?
But for the scholars and warriors from all over Zhongzhou who rushed to Licheng to participate in the civil and military examinations, what was more important was the small incident that happened that day in the southern suburbs of Licheng. There, everything the legendary young prefect said
Every word spread wildly among their group of people and fermented.
Most of Lijun's Qingqi returned to the cavalry city, but there were still a thousand people led by Luo Changgong who followed Luochuan back to the prefect's palace as usual, taking over the defense work inside and outside the palace from the palace guards.
.
Regarding such a violation of rules, Gao Shixian, the only chief minister in the prefecture's palace, had no objection at all. He just asked the palace guards and palace attendants to comply obediently.
Luo Chuan's carriage slowly entered the palace and did not go to the harem. Instead, it stopped in front of the front palace. He got off the carriage, looked at the still empty square in front of the palace, and rushed to Gao Shixian, who was already waiting beside the carriage.
After nodding, he walked to the top step and sat down. He looked in the direction of the palace gate and asked the shadow behind him, "You said that Lu Tieshan took Lu Sifan away from Taiming City while Lu Dongfeng was not there?"
Shadow nodded, "It looks like they are coming to leave the city. Our people will follow, and so will Lu Dongfeng's people."
Siqi stood behind Luochuan, standing on tiptoes to look at the official road outside the palace.
Gao Shixian lowered his head slightly, glanced at Siqi without any trace, then looked at Luo Chuan's profile, and lowered his head even further.
"Come on, just come on. Just be careful not to let them have any problems on the way," Luo Chuan sighed. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to take one step at a time.
Siqi suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Here, someone is coming."
With Luochuan's current eyesight, he had naturally seen it a long time ago, but the person who came first was not Luo Jiang, the Licheng general he had imagined, but Mu Zeyan, who was currently the temporary adjutant of Lijun's adjutant.
Si Lu's government office is in the front yard of the compound where the county magistrate was originally located, not far from the prefect's palace. This high-ranking official who can now be ranked in the court hall of Li Jun only came alone and did not say anything to him.
The subordinate official didn't even have any bodyguards or servants. He just passed the inspection and entered the palace. He walked up to the five steps in front of Luochuan and stopped, bowed and saluted, "Chen Mu Zeyan
, pay homage to the prefect."
"No need to be polite," Luo Chuan looked at Mu Zeyan, who always had a serious face, and said with a smile, "Zeyan, it's hard to believe that you became a loner again just a few days after leaving the city, right?"
"I am now serving in the office of the Governor of Li County. Ordinary people are probably afraid of avoiding him," Mu Zeyan said slightly faster. "Just now, I have heard about what happened to the prefect outside the southern suburbs. I came here here."
Please tell me how to deal with those civilians from other places?"
Luochuan once again cast his gaze in the direction of the palace gate and asked casually, "In your opinion, what should be done with those people?"
Mu Zeyan lowered his eyes and said slowly, "Those people who despise the law in front of them and bump into the governor in the back should be severely punished. The first offender among them should be beheaded as a warning to others."
Si Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard the words. He wanted to say something but couldn't. He just pursed his lips and stared at the back of Luo Chuan's head.
Luochuan was noncommittal about Mu Zeyan's statement, and talked about other things as if changing the subject, "Zeyan, when I was in Southern Xinjiang, apart from Nanyi affairs, I only paid attention to two things. One,
It was Guangjun's invasion of Anling and Sancang. The other event was the civil and military examination. When I returned to Licheng this time, even Luo Jiang, the general of Licheng, did not know about it in advance, but I happened to meet him when I arrived in the southern suburbs.
Being involved in such a thing..." He looked at Mu Zeyan, paused and said word by word, "Some people are so anxious to get an answer from me?!"
Mu Zeyan did not raise his head, frowned slightly and said bluntly, "Master Taishou, this matter must not be done by my Lijun courtiers."
"Of course not, otherwise I would just let Yan Bingyu's children who were taken advantage of go home and be whipped?" Luo Chuan sneered, "But you want to say that the person behind this is doing this under their noses?
The hands and feet of a pediatrician, the courtiers in my courtyard in Li County are all blind and unable to understand... They think I am an idiot?!"
Mu Zeyan sighed softly and bowed, "Prefect, please calm down..."
Luo Chuan glanced at Luo Jiang, who was walking in from the main entrance of the prefect's palace, and said softly, "Ze Yan, since I single-handedly promoted you as a lonely person, you have to tell them something about me, Luo Chuan."
According to the principle, if Zhao Wuji has merit, he can become a county lieutenant, and if Chen Jingzhi has merit, he can also become a general. In this civil and military competition that is just around the corner, Yan Bingyu can participate, and Lu Wenchang can also participate. Instead of worrying about those who have it, it is better to let Gan
The family there used to look for a few good seedlings, even from the side branches, but now the Li County is too small and shallow to accommodate them? On the contrary, there are a lot of fertile fields for official positions, and their ineffective descendants
They are useless!"
"So you asked me how to deal with those civilians from other places?" Luo Chuan patted the dust on his sleeves nonchalantly, "What should Yan Bingyu do with them? That's how they should deal with those civilians from other places."
Mu Zeyan stood up and saluted, turned around and left, passing by Luo Jiang, who was wearing armor, without saying hello.
Luo Jiang, who was going up the steps, couldn't help but look back at Mu Zeyan in surprise, and then came up and asked Luo Chuan, "What's wrong with Mr. Mu? He looks very worried."
"General Luo, you should worry about your own affairs. No matter how worried I am, Master Mu can still handle things better than you," Luo Chuan said angrily.
Luo Jiang glanced at Luo Chuan, a little surprised, and looked at the high wall on the side of the palace with his hands behind his back and said, "You didn't tell me what the war was like when you were in southern Xinjiang, and now you don't tell me when you come back from Li city.
The people inside and outside the city are complicated, and I asked you to transfer half of the soldiers to Taiming. There is really no way..."
Luo Chuan didn't blame him anymore, he just asked, "It's still more than a month before the publicly announced civil and military exams start. How many people are coming from all over the city to leave the city?"
"There are so many, why not so much," Luo Jiang just stood on the two steps in front of Luochuan and looked down at him and said, "Jingzhou, Wuzhou, Jiangzhou, Changzhou, there are people from everywhere, relatively speaking, it seems that people from Wuzhou are from
There are more people, but the majority are from our southwest Hanzhou, especially from Hanoi County where many people came. Of course, the largest number are naturally young people from various places in Li County, among which Sancang and Sancang are the most popular.
Anling has the most people. Among these people, the scholars are better off, while the warriors have more things to do. If we get together like this today, there will definitely be friction."
Luo Chuan pondered for a moment without thinking deeply, but looked up at Luo Jiangdao, "Uncle Jiang, after Qin Ao retired and returned home, the three generals who originally followed him also retreated. Needless to say, Lu Yinbao has left the city now.
There is no general in the army all of a sudden, and I am determined to choose two deputies for you. Do you have anyone in mind who is suitable for you?"
Luo Jiang nodded without thinking, "There is one!"
