Chapter 438 Something else is wrong
The moon is white and the wind is clear.
Several broken clouds and gentle wind drifted eastward.
In the garden, withered vines are wrapped around, and the evergreen trees by the wall bloom beautiful gardenias, exuding an attractive and faint fragrance.
The grass on the ground has withered and yellow.
If you were wearing a long robe and walking over the grass, your clothes would definitely be wet and heavy.
On the side of eating candy, there is a row of houses.
Dong Qi was sitting on the wooden corridor above the knee, barefoot and loose robe leaning against the thick and thin corridor columns without saying a word.
Xiao Wenji knelt obediently beside him, injecting brightly colored wine into the wine cup made of white jade.
Under the corridor, Chen Gong Huang Xu, Gu Yong and other ministers of Chengming Palace were all kneeling on the grass, crawling with their bodies, and no one spoke.
"All up!"
Dong Qi's voice was cold and he could not hear the joy and anger in his heart.
But the more this happened, the less Chen Gong and others dared to stand up. Chang'an City was just under their noses. As a result, when Lanchi Camp entered Chang'an in the afternoon and checked the Buddhist temples, they found that 80% of the Buddhist temples had hidden many armor and weapons.
As the chief minister of Chengming Palace, Chen Gong has an unshirkable responsibility.
So before Dong Qi returned home, the group rushed to the Grand Governor's Office and asked Dong Qi for punishment.
On the contrary, Dong Qiong showed a very calm attitude after returning from Bailiangtai.
He was not angry, nor did he get angry. He just called everyone to the garden and asked: "Do you know that the Chang'an Buddhist Temple is rising?"
In one sentence, Chen Gong and others crawled on the grass and did not dare to get up.
Dong Qi sighed, "All up, I said, you can't blame you for this. The matter of the Buddhist temple ends here... a group of clowns can't cause any storm. Being faith is not a bad thing, but if it is not properly managed, it will eventually lead to a disaster. The lessons of the Taiping Road in the past are still vivid in my mind. All the masters have experienced that disaster, and we should know that man-made disasters are better than natural disasters."
Chen Gong said: "The officials were negligent and never discovered that there was such a danger hidden in this Buddhist affairs... I will definitely do it tomorrow..."
Dong Qi smiled and said, "Don't talk about the destruction of Buddha. You can destroy the Buddhist temples and monks wearing Buddhist robes, but you can't destroy the Buddha in the hearts of the people. It's better to be distracted than to block it. Since we can't stop it, you might as well strengthen the constraints and guide you to good life... As long as you put your heart into it, bad things can also turn into good things. As for the specific rules, Gongtai and senior brothers might as well discuss more and make suggestions as soon as possible."
"Here!"
"In addition, no matter whether the Buddhist ritual is good or not, it is not owned by my Han Dynasty. If you teach others compassion and kindness to others... I see that everything Zhang Lu did in Hanzhong was very good. If you support one group and fight another, whoever can work for me can develop. However, there is a principle. Whether it is Buddhist ritual or the Five Doks of Rice, you cannot escape from our control. If there are bad signs, you must suppress it immediately... We need to look at some things more profoundly, and the public platform should be more careful."
"The commander of the Grand Governor Dingzun!"
Speaking of this, a stone in Chen Gong and others' hearts finally fell.
Dong Qi asked them to sit on the corridor, and ordered Xiao Wenji to pour a glass of wine for everyone, then waved his hand and let Xiao Wenji leave.
It was obvious that Xiao Wenji didn't seem to want to leave, but her father glared at him and left obediently.
"Little Wenji is becoming more and more graceful. I don't know who will be cheaper in the future."
Gu Yong looked at Xiao Wenji's back and said to Dong Qi with a smile. The joke suitable for Shiyi suddenly relieved the embarrassment just now.
Dong Qi said: "It doesn't matter who she married, as long as she can live happily and worry-free for a lifetime, I will be very happy."
After saying that, Dong Qi took a sip of wine, "My Lords, I want to know, what's going on with the Guards?"
Gu Yong and Chen Gong looked at each other and said softly: "The establishment of the Guard Army is a long story. When the lord fought in Luoyang, many royal families came to join us. Later, Liu Xian served as the Chang'an Order and submitted a memorial to the emperor that the public security of Chang'an should not be completely up to the army. After all, it is not so convenient to mobilize troops from all sides when something happens, so it is recommended to set up a team affiliated with the yamen."
Dong Qi shook his eyebrows, "Switch on."
"Liu Xian's memorial to establish a guard army is not only suitable for Chang'an, but also for various places under Guanzhong's rule. It is mainly to maintain local peace and handle emergencies. The cost is not much, but it can reduce the pressure on the garrisons in various places. According to the scale of each place, the guard army is as small as ten, as large as eight hundred people in Chang'an. The expenses required are all expenditures from various local government offices, which are not serious for the court."
Dong Qi understood!
This so-called "guards" is quite similar to the later constables and yamen runners, or, more modernly, it is the local armed police.
Theoretically, the emergence of the Guards can indeed relieve the pressure on many military forces and are also quite beneficial in social security.
But the problem is that this team is not under control.
In this regard, it is undoubtedly another huge trouble. If the Eight Hundred Guards occupy the favorable terrain, they can do a lot. Dong Qi was strongly hostile to this uncontrolled armed force, and even said that he was very disgusted with it.
"Liu Xian...it seems very difficult."
Dong Qi's words mean something. He made up his mind to live up to Liu Bian. But it does not mean that he will be slaughtered... He experienced countless bloody storms in Luoyang and suffered a lot of plots. So today, he is always wary of uncontrolled people.
The reason why Liu Xian’s ability to make such a suggestion shows that this person’s mind is very extraordinary.
Fa Zheng and Dong Ji were also listening.
So he spoke, "Lord, I have also paid attention to Liu Xian for a while. Since the emperor ascended the throne, many royal families have come to join him. However, to be precise, Liu Xian did not belong to the royal family, but the envoy sent by Liu Biao after he returned to Jingzhou. This person once served as the other person of Liu Biao... but he is quite mediocre and has never achieved anything in his five years of service."
This is very interesting.
Chen Gong, Gu Yong, Shi Tao and others first heard the hidden meaning in Fa Zheng's words, and then Dong Qi also reacted suddenly.
"Xiaozhi means, is there someone behind Liu Xian?"
Fa Zheng did not comment, "After Liu Xian arrived in Chang'an, he did not show any too cleverness at the beginning. I believe that Lord Chen ignored this person because of this reason. When the Emperor asked Lord Chen to arrange for Liu Xian, Lord Chen would let him be the Chang'an Order."
These words mean to excuse Chen Gong.
Fa Zheng already knew that he would be transferred to Youzhou after the New Year, and then nominally, he would be under the rule of Chen Gong.
In this regard, it is crucial to establish a good relationship with Chen Gong first.
Chen Gong indeed looked at Fa Zheng with gratitude. Although he didn't say anything, everything was silent.
"Can it be Liu Jingsheng secretly manipulating it?"
"It is quite possible... Since Liu Xian submitted a memorial to form the "Guard Army", the subordinate officials have ordered people to strictly control him. However, he acted very cautiously and had no worries with any officials. He has not yet discovered any inappropriate behavior."
This is an inertial thinking.
Liu Xian came from Jingzhou, which is naturally related to Liu Biao.
Not only Fa Zheng thought so, but also looked at it like this, including Chen Gong, Gu Yong and others.
On the contrary, Dong Ji, who had been listening quietly, glanced slightly at the corner of his mouth. Dong Qi suddenly saw this subtle action.
He smiled slightly, "My son, what do you think?"
Dong Ji bowed and said, "Father, the child thinks that Liu Xianshi may have nothing to do with Jingzhou."
"oh?"
"Liu Jingsheng, but he is just a person who loves false reputations. He is just a good example... Liu Xian is not a royal family, so how could he pay attention to it? This time he sent Liu Xian to Chang'an, and he might not have any thoughts. If this person is ambitious, how could his father not have any actions when fighting with Cao Cao in Luoyang? He is not without capable people under his command. Just a surprise attack on Runan, the coalition forces will inevitably be in chaos."
Runan connects Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou...
Dong Ji's words are not unreasonable, and have attracted a lot of attention.
"What do I think?"
"The child thought that Liu Xian must have a master's advice. But that master was not in Jingzhou, but by his side."
"Around me?"
Fa Zheng frowned and thought, "It should be unlikely. When Liu came to Chang'an, except for the two teenagers, there seemed to be no one else. The two teenagers, one fifteen and the other was only eight years old. As for his family, it was only after he appointed him as the Chang'an Order that Liu Biao sent someone to send him."
Dong Ji smiled, "Fifteen...it's enough to turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain!"
Dong Qi thought for a while, "What are the names of those two boys?"
Among the Three Kingdoms, there are no genius children. If the people around Liu Xian were also genius children, they might have been praised by Dong Ji.
Chen Gong said: "There are two young men around Liu Xian. One is his nephew, named Zhou Buyi, at the age of fifteen; the other is Kou Feng, at the age of nine. Kou Feng was originally from the Kou clan of Luohu, Changsha. Later, his family declined and met Liu Xianhou, but was taken as his adopted son by Liu Xian."
Kou Feng? Zhou is not suspicious?
Two names are obviously very unfamiliar to Dong Chi.
But Chen Gong's next words surprised Dong Qi, "But Kou Feng followed Liu Xian's surname and changed his name to Liu Feng in the middle of the year."
Liu Feng?
Isn’t that Liu Bei’s godson?
It's messy, as if everything is messy...
In the Romance of the Romance, although Liu Feng is not very outstanding, he is not a simple character. And Zhou Buyi... Could it be that he is also a great person?
No matter what, Dong Chu knows something now.
There are too many vain and unrealities in the Romance of Boss Luo. I can’t believe that this week is the character he has forgotten.
"Xiaozhi, starting today, I will focus on those two boys on my attention."
As he spoke, Dong Qi glanced at Dong Ji, but found that Dong Ji's eyes were shining, as if he was confident...
If Zhou Buyi was really a powerful person and was not much different from Dong Ji's age, he would probably have received more attention from Dong Ji.
Everyone talked about a lot of things next.
Chen Gong asked Dong Qi to supplement the staff of Chengming Palace, because there were too many things to deal with after the war was about to end. With the energy of Chen Gong and Gu Yong, they were obviously a little stretched. However, Dong Qi also had no solution to this problem.
After some discussion, Dong Qi decided to transfer Zhuge Jin from Youfufeng to Chengming Palace.
After seeing off Chen Gong and others, Dong Qi left Fa Zheng and Dong Ji.
To be continued...
