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.
Being 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 competitions, 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. .
Gao Shixian, the only chief minister in the prefecture's palace, had no objections to such a violation of the rules. 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 main hall 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.
Si Qi 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 first person to come was not Luo Jiang, the Licheng general he 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 once lived, not far from the prefect's palace. This high-ranking official who can now be ranked in the court hall of Li Jun only comes here alone, with no one around him. The subordinate officials 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 not like you just came and left the city for a few days, and you became a loner again, right?"
"I am now serving in the office of the Lijun Si Lufu. Ordinary people are probably afraid to avoid it," Mu Zeyan said slightly faster, "I just heard about what happened to the prefect outside the southern suburbs, so I came 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 prefect behind them 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, and the other was the civil and military examination. Even Luo Jiang, the general of Licheng, did not know about my return to Licheng 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 and paused for a moment before saying each 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, "Zeyan, 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 some or not, it is better to let Gan The family there used to be looking 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 is a lot of good land 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 Mr. Mu is, he 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 say anything about the situation of the war when you were in southern Xinjiang, and now you don't say anything when you come back to 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 other 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. Of course, the largest number are young people from various places in Li County, among which Sancang and Sancang are the most popular. Anling has the most people coming. Among these people, the scholars are better off, while the warriors have more things to do. If we get together like 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 withdrew. 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!"
