I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

Zhao Yun replied: "No matter who is the emperor, he is the object of Yun's allegiance." His voice was as flat and humble as ever.

Lu Bu turned over and couldn't help asking: "Jizhou is held hostage by the traitor Yuan Shao, and there are so many warriors in Jizhou, don't you wonder why the emperor favors you?"

Zhao Yun was unmoved, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and he knows people and makes good use of them. Naturally, there is a reason for him."

"I'm not curious at all..." Lu Bu muttered, turned over boredly, squeezed the small wooden sign he was carrying, and fell asleep with his clothes on.

At this time, in Luoyang City.

The night was as dark as ink, but the city walls were brightly lit. Hundreds of people were mixing cement and strengthening the city walls day and night.In the past, when doing hard labor such as building city walls, several people were always exhausted to death.Therefore, all those who are recruited by the court to work have a look of bitterness and hatred. Not only are they worried about the livelihood of the young and old in the family, after all, this kind of service is not paid, and they are also worried about their own lives. Those supervisors will not show mercy , if you are not careful, you will be drawn.Some inspectors are violent and beat people just to vent their emotions.

But the construction of the city wall this time is not forced labor, but employment. All young men and women can come to work. Although there are three shifts regardless of day and night, each person only works for four hours a day, including enough eating and drinking time.He was not afraid of not being able to get money after doing the work. The accountant sat in the shadow under the city wall and paid copper coins on the spot in the form of settlement every seven days.

All helpers who are not lazy have two big corn buns and pickles to eat in the morning, noon and evening, which can not only fill their stomachs, but also supplement their families.Supervisors are also not allowed to beat people casually. If they find someone lazy, they can be expelled. The situation of beating people to death like before will never happen again.Murder pays for life, beats people and puts them in prison. This is also a new sign erected under the city wall.Speaking of these conditions, at this time it is already an extremely kind owner.

Liu Xie was in a hurry to plaster the city wall with newly made cement to enhance the firmness of the city wall, so the wages and remuneration offered were very generous.Because the wheat harvest season is coming soon, if it is then, how can there be manpower?Even Liangzhou soldiers who were punished as hard labor had to go to the public land to grab them nervously.

Most of the wheat in Luoyang is spring wheat, which is sown in spring and harvested in late summer in August, while rice is harvested in autumn in September.Once the wheat is mature, all the wheat must be harvested within a few days, otherwise the yield will be greatly reduced.If it encounters continuous rainy days, it will be bad. The wheat is easy to mold and even germinate, and a year's hard work will be in vain.

Fortunately, it is much faster and more solid to use cement to reinforce the city wall than to repeatedly tamp the soil and add straw and egg whites.The construction of the city wall was personally supervised by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, the magistrates of the county.

"Building the city wall pays a lot of money, fast money, enough to eat, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can be a small boss. If you are promoted through diligence, you can go to all the projects in and around the capital in the future, and you can continue to do it for a long time to make money Raising a family."

The news spread quickly in Luoyang City, and those who lived on the streets and had financial difficulties all signed up enthusiastically.Thousands of people hurried and hurried, and finally the city wall was rebuilt before the harvest season came.

Cement firmly binds sand, stone, brick and other materials together, and the city wall appears smooth and solid after repeated application of cement.A solid archery tower was built with cement and bricks at the four corners of the city wall. In addition, at each city gate, Liu Xie specially ordered craftsmen to build simple artillery towers.Although the red cannon has not been made yet, I believe that in time, with the wisdom of skilled craftsmen, it will be successfully made.

On the day when the city wall was built, in order to show the majesty of the imperial court, Liu Xie took Xu Chu and other personal guards to inspect it.

"Wang Du Ji" once recorded: "The emperor drives six, the princes drive five, the minister drives four, the doctor three, the scholar two, and the common people one." The handsome white horse-drawn carriage is as spacious as a small mobile home.

This is the first high-profile appearance of the emperor in Beijing since Dong Zhuo's death.The carriage was sealed, the windows were not opened, and the appearance of the emperor could not be seen.But as soon as the emperor's guard of honor appeared, it immediately caused a sensation in the city.

The common people were all smiling, and rushed to tell each other: "Here comes the emperor, come to see us build a new city wall!"

The carriage drove slowly on the imperial street in the center, with kneeling common people on both sides.Liu Xie secretly opened a corner of the window and looked out.

Seeing the people kneeling beside the road, some even started crying while kowtow.

Liu Xie frowned handsomely, and ordered Xu Chu who was sitting beside him: "Go down and have a look, isn't there some grievance for this crying man?" Just like in TV dramas, only when the emperor leaves the palace, someone will stop him Yujia.

Xu Chu replied: "Yes!"

Fortunately, it was just a very excited Confucian scholar, crying for His Majesty's wisdom and the reincarnation of the Dragon God.After listening to Xu Chu's report, Liu Xie had mixed feelings.

More and more people came to watch in front, and the chariots were getting slower and slower.The imperial guards at the front shouted loudly, walked in the front with their spears in hand, and began to drive out the people who blocked the way.

Liu Xie heard it from afar, sat in front of the carriage, and told the coachman, "Tell them not to hurt anyone." Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt the carriage tremor.

"Bang bang bang..." Arrows continued to shoot at the carriage, making loud crashing sounds.An iron arrow even passed through the car window, and the arrow landed exactly where Liu Xie had been.

The guard's voice was tense: "There are assassins!"

Xu Chu shouted outside the car: "Form a circle and protect His Majesty!"

Before Liu Xie could react, he heard a cry of pain from around him.Before he had time to think about it, he slightly opened the door of the carriage, only to see a coachman who had been pierced through the chest by a long arrow and fell down clutching his bleeding chest.

Liu Xie paused and was in a dilemma for a while, so he had to gather himself up and curl up in the upper right corner.

At this time Xu Chu strode forward, blocked the car door tightly with his body, and asked nervously, "Your Majesty, are you injured?"

"I'm fine."

Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and closed the car door tightly: "Your Majesty, don't panic, don't come out, I will protect you to the death!"

After a while, the emperor's unhurried voice came from the car: "Well, I trust you all."

After the imperial guards shouted "there is an assassin", the common people hurriedly dispersed for fear of being implicated.The imperial guards caught those who ran away, and the scene became even more chaotic for a while.

Liu Xie had twelve personal guards, all of whom put the safety of the emperor first. At this time, under Xu Chu's command, everyone took out their shields and surrounded the carriage.

However, arrows still flew from all directions, and several people fell down in response.

"Over there!" Xu Chu saw the figure of the assassin: "In the dark corner in the northwest, and in the southeast of the upstairs with the red silk shop, someone is shooting hidden arrows! Send ten people to catch them!"

Someone reminded loudly: "The assassins on the left and right have escaped among the common people. There are at least five of them who shot arrows at the carriage at close range!"

Xu Chu could see clearly that the one who had been mingling with the carriage and took the opportunity to shoot arrows had already escaped, and the guards had just caught ordinary people, so he said in a deep voice, "As long as the city gates are sealed, no one can escape. Everyone obeys the order, except for the 20 people who went out just now, don't arrest anyone anymore, it is important for everyone to protect His Majesty, and be vigilant around you!"

After a while, the dark arrows also stopped.Xu Chu stared nervously at the street, waiting for the person sent out just now to come back and report the news.After half a stick of incense, the people who were sent out all came back in disgrace, knelt on the ground and begged His Majesty to punish them.

Liu Xie had heard their voices, and ordered through the carriage indifferently: "Take the wounded to the hospital for treatment first, and the dead can be buried alive, and the family members will be compensated. Xu Chu, arrange to go back."

Xu Chu thought that His Majesty had been frightened and wanted to rest immediately after returning to the palace.Unexpectedly, Liu Xie just ordered Xiaohuangmen to go to Weiyang Palace to fetch a few iron plates and bring them to the carriage, so that the guards would wear shields, and then they would immediately set off for the city wall.

A personal guard warned: "Your Majesty, the assassin has not been identified yet, so it seems unwise to leave the palace at this time."

Liu Xie clasped his arms around his chest, with a cold expression: "The soldiers come to cover up the water and the soil, the opponent has arrows, and we have a shield that is invulnerable, why should we be afraid?"

"But...Your Majesty, there are holes for arrows in the carriage, so it is very unsafe to ride on it."

Liu Xie's tone was filled with impatience: "I have already ordered people to put the fender on the car. The gentleman said that it is hard to follow, and he said that he would inspect the city wall."

The personal guards knew that although the Son of Heaven was young, he had great ideas. If there was any objection, he might be transferred away from the Imperial Palace tomorrow.Everyone didn't dare to persuade them any more, and they only put up a [-]-point spirit and sent more people and the Leh team to guard the carriage.

Liu Xie entered the carriage, still not sitting in the main seat, but a small one shrank in a corner, blocking the steel plate taken in front of and behind him.

Fortunately, it went well this time.The construction of the city wall was also done as he wished, but...

Seeing the closed city walls and the raids in the city, Liu Xie said: "The city gates don't need to be closed, you can go in and out as usual, but there are many ways to lead more inquiries from Jizhou and Nanyang." He pondered for a while, and said: "It is said that Xun You and Liu Bei are coming I."

This assassination is a good time to promote the new version of Luyin, and such a thing should not be let go lightly, otherwise it will damage the majesty of the Tian family.But if you search everywhere, the probability of the murderer not being caught is low and it is very disturbing to the people.However, you can take this opportunity to conduct a census and change the road guides. As long as you pretend to be angry when you go to court tomorrow, the officials in the court will not dare to object.

Xun You and Liu Bei, as Luoyang Jingzhao Yin and Luoyang County Magistrate, except for such a serious assassination of the emperor under their noses, they cannot absolve themselves of the blame.

In the scorching summer, the two hurried to the palace, their bodies were already drenched, and they both apologized to the emperor with shame on their faces.

Liu Xie was sympathetic to his subordinates: "Sit down and talk, and drink some iced red bayberry soup first to relieve the heat." Most of these people sneaked in when Luoyang was recruiting people. bulky luggage.

Liu Xie did not intend to criticize the loyal ministers of the two big men.The problem is probably due to the fake road guide.For ordinary people, it is difficult to fake Luyin.But as long as it is an official of one party, it is easy to create a local pass.

Liu Bei bowed his head and bowed, still refusing to get up: "What happened on the boundary of Luoyang is due to negligence of duty, and I deserve death!"

Liu Xie sighed leisurely: "There is no need to say more about the apology, and we will check the murderer one by one. I called you here because I have other arrangements."

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "The ministers are willing to share your majesty's worries."

"The road guide should be changed, so as not to let people take advantage of the loopholes in the future." Liu Xie said slowly: "Let's start with Luoyang, and this matter will be arranged for you to do. This new version of the road guide will not only have this The person's household registration, as well as his permanent or temporary accommodation address in Luoyang, and the final point is to add fingerprints pressed with ink pad on the road guide. When checking later, bring the ink pad, your fingerprints and the road guide. Two-phase verification of the fingerprint on the phone, so that no one can use it fraudulently."

Both Xun You and Liu Bei were stunned, and they didn't think that His Majesty's summoning was not about asking crimes or investigating crimes, but about this matter.

Xun You thought for a while: "This...Luoyang has a population of one million, and the amount of construction seems to be quite huge."

Liu Xie nodded: "Luoyang has a population of one million, so it should be carefully managed. It is impossible for so many people to replace the road guides, and it is impossible to only let hundreds of Luoyang government officials and small officials do it. Otherwise, what year and month will it take?"

Xun You asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"If government orders are to be clear, management should be more detailed. In my past, five families were called "Wu", ten families were called "Shi", hundreds of families were called "Li", and ten families were called "Ting". However, in a big city like Luoyang, the management is not as detailed as that of the countryside. The management of Shiwu has been weakened, and many assassins have sneaked in. They have been lurking in Luoyang for many days and no one has discovered it. When a neighborhood committee is established with the pavilion as a unit, strengthen control The control of urban residents, as long as people from outside the city enter the pavilion to live, they must register with the neighborhood committee and receive a temporary residence permit."

Xun You and Liu Bei were at a loss: what is a neighborhood committee?
