In March, Luoyang was prosperous, even better than in the past, and it had completely escaped the shadow of war. After all, it is at the feet of the emperor, and it is most affected by the court's policies. Any disturbances from above will be responded to the people in a timely manner. Furthermore, the court will not allow continued depression in the most prosperous area, and must ensure its prosperity.
The open road is bustling with traffic, the lush street trees are full of vitality, there are many sails and rafters on Yiluo, the streets are crowded and noisy, seasonal fruits and melons are constantly filling the market, and wine shops, teahouses, and brothel painting shops are crowded with guests. .
Since Luoyang was restored and the imperial court moved westward, the prosperity of Xijing has become better and better every year, and the atmosphere of the imperial capital has become stronger day by day. In the words of some officials of Qin Tianjian, it is the gathering of people and the prosperity of kings.
However, compared with Kaifeng in Tokyo, Emperor Liu always felt that it was missing something. In terms of prosperity, it had to be Kaifeng! Of course, Emperor Liu only regarded it as his own psychological influence. The rise of Kaifeng seemed to be the general trend. Sometimes, when heaven and earth all work together, Emperor Liu went westward, but he went against the trend.
Compared with Luoyang, Kaifeng is better in many ways, but if there is no danger to defend, and if there is a danger of danger, it is enough to make people wary. Of course, the matter of moving the capital has become a reality, and Emperor Liu inevitably felt a little nostalgic when he thought of Kaifeng.
After all, after staying in Kaifeng for so many years, Emperor Liu worked hard to rule and unify the world, which also started from Kaifeng. Jinyang was the place where the Han Dynasty flourished, while Kaifeng was the place where Emperor Liu rose to power.
Putting aside some personal emotional factors, Emperor Liu is still very satisfied with Luoyang today. In the world, it is connected in all directions, its shape is stable, and it takes into account the western frontier.
The spring was bright and the sun was shining brightly. Emperor Liu traveled around the imperial capital in a simple carriage. Nearly two months later, Emperor Liu left the palace again. As he grew older, he became more and more able to sit still and endure loneliness. You know, during the Qianyou era, he spent almost half of his time in the palace. Outside the city, I don't want to be restricted by those majestic and magnificent palaces and courts.
As the imperial capital, Luoyang has never been short of topics. Not to mention the national discussion of politics, even ordinary people can still talk about national affairs and people's livelihood. Even if it is superficial and one-sided, or even nonsense, they still enjoy it.
Of course, factional disputes and military affairs are too far away from the common people. Unless they have an intuitive feeling, most people will not care about what policies and measures the court has introduced.
Recently, for the people of Luoyang, the most eye-catching thing is because of one thing, or one person. They ushered in a new governor and a new parent official, Zhao Kuangyi.
If there is a hot search list in Dahan at the moment, in Xijing, the newly appointed Luoyang Prefect Zhao Kuangyi will definitely be a hot search every day and be on the list every day.
Although Zhao Kuangyi has only been in office for less than 20 days, he has already done several things that caused a stir in the government and the public. There were three fires that the new official took office. After Zhao Kuangyi took up his duties, he only suppressed them for three days before they became so popular that some people complained endlessly.
Zhao Kuangyi can be regarded as a successful young man, but what is inconsistent with his age is that he has a sophisticated handling style and mature political methods. Before taking office, he had already secretly figured out the situation of Luoyang Mansion from top to bottom, which was not difficult for the Zhao family.
The interpersonal relationships at the upper and lower levels of the government, including the relationships behind the officials, are well known. Who can be used, who is worth winning over, who can be offended, and who needs to be attacked, they all have plans in advance. The three days of suppression were only used to get acquainted with each other. Once the situation was clarified, he began to govern according to his plan.
In a few days, more than 20 officials, big and small, under the Luoyang Mansion were investigated and dealt with. These officials may have committed illegal acts, dereliction of duty, or misconduct. In short, Zhao Kuangyi acted in a reasonable and well-founded manner. give face.
But even so, Zhao Kuangyi's approach also attracted a lot of criticism, especially from some veterans in the court, who directly labeled Zhao Kuangyi as young, energetic, arrogant and domineering.
How can anyone do things like this? Once they have the power, they will carry out the orders. Once they are in power, they will attack dissidents, promote people close to them, and act arbitrarily. This is not disordering the government.
Luoyang Mansion is the imperial capital. It governs one city and more than ten counties with millions of people. It has important responsibilities and attracts attention. What they want is stability and safety. Zhao Kuangyi's actions made people in the government offices panic and everyone in danger. If the government offices were in chaos, how could the officials and people of Luoyang be stable...
Although similar accusations and relegations did not reach the level of criticism, these dissatisfaction discussions still reached the ears of Emperor Liu. The person who spoke was either a Qingliu scholar, or someone who had lost face by Zhao Kuangyi.
However, Zhao Kuangyi was unafraid in the face of these discussions and still went his own way and remained unmoved. There was a lot of commotion, but if you look closely at Zhao Kuangyi's actions, you can see that the people he dealt with were all low-level officials with shallow foundations. Those with real backgrounds and backgrounds, none of them were moved, but they tried their best to make friends and win over them.
The so-called panic among people in Luoyang Mansion is only for those who have evil thoughts and no one to rely on. The huge Luoyang Mansion is not so easy to mess up. Its operation has always been stable. The only difference is that a new leader has come to power. In the name of purging officials, some moths were eliminated and authority was established.
As for those who were dissatisfied with his actions, Zhao Kuangyi even sneered, and even said that he was responsible for the security of millions of people in Xijing and did not tolerate favoritism. As the governor, he was here to offend others, and he was not afraid of offending others. If Luoyang is in peace and order, he will not be afraid of slander or reputation...
How majestic and upright the person is, this is Zhao Kuangyi, who is really good at inviting names. And if he attacks dissidents just to establish authority, then Zhao Kuangyi will hardly escape the suspicion of being domineering.
More importantly, he really showed his talent for hard work. What is most talked about by the people in Tokyo is that Zhao Kuangyi reiterated the serious propaganda system to advertise to the people that under the rule of Luoyang Prefecture, if the people have unjust lawsuits, urgent cases, or suggestions, no matter how big or small, no matter the time, morning or evening, they should go to the drum to hear about it. He will personally receive him and relieve the people's worries
That's what Zhao Kuangyi said, and he did the same. Within half a month, Zhao Kuangyi met with more than 200 people and handled them very efficiently and thoughtfully. Even some people who were suspected of causing trouble and disturbing officials didn't take it seriously.
In the past, directors of the Luoyang Prefecture rarely went to court except for major and important cases. General affairs were handled by subordinate magistrates and other officials. Zhao Kuangyi is not like that. He does everything personally, no matter how big or small. He also opens his yamen wide and is upright and open for everyone to watch. In one day, there were more than ten incidents of high-level affairs, which were all normal.
In front of the government office, people began to gather in an endless stream every day to watch the excitement. Some people say that this intrudes on the tranquility of the yamen and is not conducive to the administration of affairs. Zhao Kuangyi firmly stated that the government is responsible for enforcing the law impartially. There is no need to cover up anyone who cannot be seen. As long as the people do not violate the prohibition of breaking in, disrupting order, they can do whatever they want. Its freedom.
Zhao Kuangyi has attracted so much attention and earned such a great reputation during this period. When Emperor Liu left the palace, he was naturally interested and came to see it with his own eyes.
Inside and outside the yamen, more than a dozen yamen servants stood in awe, maintaining order. Facing the onlookers, they responded with smiles and put away their unavoidable arrogant attitude in the past.
Zhao Kuangyi, on the other hand, was dressed in official robes and asked questions in court, attracting everyone's attention like a star. There was another scream, and soon an old farmer came out with a look of gratitude. Following him, two officers walked past the crowd after leaving the yamen and left straight away.
There was inevitably a burst of discussion among the people. They were a little far away and couldn't hear clearly, but they were all words of praise for Zhao Kuangyi, for being diligent and caring for the people.
Emperor Liu asked Zhang Dejun, who was accompanying him, to inquire about it. He quickly returned to the car and reported: "Back to the official house, a farmer in Kaifeng lost his cow and went to the Yamen to complain. Mr. Zhao met him personally for questioning and made arrangements." The official went to investigate, and the people praised him for his closeness to the people..."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liu couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Zhao Kuangyi, the governor, has lost a cow and has to personally handle the appeal. Does he do these trivial things every day?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dejun reported: "Since Zhao Fujun took office, the official family has been working hard and working hard, no matter how big or small, and has never slacked off. The response from the people has been very good, and there has been a lot of praise!"
"They say this man is smart and capable, but isn't it tiring to be an official like this?" Emperor Liu smiled playfully and couldn't help but shake his head.
Riding in the same carriage with Emperor Liu was King Yong Liu Chengxun. He seemed to have a good impression of Zhao Kuangyi and responded: "When Zhao Kuangyi first takes office, he must perform something. Once his words are spoken, they should be fulfilled. Otherwise, wouldn't it be just fishing for fame?" Yes! The court is lucky to have such energetic and tireless officials!"
