Chapter 261

"Sit down, gentlemen!"

Liu Xiu waved his hand and motioned for the people to take their seats.

Immediately, with a soft expression on his face, Liu Xiu said slowly, "my father died suddenly. The incident happened so suddenly that I didn't prepare in a hurry. I'm not very familiar with Jingzhou's government affairs. When I first took office, I didn't understand a lot of things. Moreover, I was young and inexperienced, so I need to be mentioned by the public. "

At this point, Liu Xiucai said: "I hope you and I will work hand in hand to create a new situation."

When they heard the words, they even called Liu Xiuqian modest.

Many people's heart is more abdominal Fei, Liu Xiu if you are less experienced, then he is mentally retarded. Liu Xiu's sophistication completely convinced the officials in Jingzhou.

Yi Ji stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "the first thing for the new official to take office is to deal with the funeral of Jing Shenggong. He suggested that the prefectural government immediately arrange funerals and begin to prepare the location and date of jingshenggong's burial. "

Liu Xiuse said: "I'll trouble Mr. Ji Bo to arrange this."

Yi Ji smiles a little and says: "humble duty obeys."

Immediately, Yi Ji sat back.

Then, Kuai Yue stood up again and said, "Lord, the Cai family committed a crime, which resulted in jingshenggong's death. Although Cai Mao has been killed, the Cai family should also be punished. He believed that the Cai family should be raided and the servants of the Cai family should be demobilized. "

All the private soldiers of the Cai family have been captured, but the remaining details of the Cai family can not be underestimated. In order to prevent the resurgence of the Cai family and threaten Liu Xiu, we must thoroughly bring down the Cai family.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "please do it with Mr. Yidu."

"No!"

Kuai Yue nodded and returned to his seat.

Wenpin stood up again and said: "Lord, Zhou Mu died of illness. This matter should be reported to the counties immediately and the rebellion of the Cai family should be announced."

Liu Xiu said, "please arrange this matter with general Zhongye."

What several people want to do is considered in advance. Liu Xiu agrees directly without hesitation.

Wang can returned the imperial edict to Liu Xiu and returned to his seat. Now he got up again and came to the hall to report: "Lord, King Shenggong died of illness. I think we should invite Mr. Qi back to Xiangyang for his funeral."

Liu Xiu's eyes brightened, showing a look of approval.

He didn't think about it.

Liu Qi in Xinye County, if encouraged by Liu Bei, it may cause trouble. If Liu Qi returns to Xiangyang to mourn, Liu Xiu can leave Liu Qi and weaken the threat brought by Liu Bei under the pretext of brotherhood. Without Liu Qi, Liu Bei was just living in Jingzhou. It was hard to become a great tool and could not cut into Jingzhou's government affairs.

Wang can's suggestion came in time.

Liu Xiu said: "Zhong Xuan's consideration is very comprehensive. As the eldest son of his father, his father died of illness, so he should go back to Xiangyang to mourn." He looked at Yiji and said, "Mr. jiber, this matter should be arranged immediately."

"No!"

Yi Ji nodded and kept things in mind.

After the political consultation, all the officials retired.

Then, the prefectural government began to arrange Liu Biao's mourning hall. Wenpin also relaxed the control of Xiangyang City and allowed people to go in and out of Xiangyang City. However, heavy soldiers were arranged in the four towers of Xiangyang City, and even soldiers were arranged around the prefectural government, which was loose outside and tight inside.

In the mourning hall, Liu Xiushen, wearing plain clothes and a cloth of filial piety, kneels in front of the hall. All the people who came to the prefecture to express their condolence respectfully offered incense, and then had a simple conversation with Liu Xiu.

What he said was just a set of words, just to comfort Liu Xiu not to be too sad, to be patient with grief, and to take care of the overall situation.

Liu Xiu saluted one by one, and at night, he relaxed a little.

Huang Yueying also came to the prefecture, wearing plain clothes and filial piety. Although Huang Yueying didn't go through the door, in Liu Xiu's mind, Huang Yueying is the daughter-in-law of the Liu family.

Huang Chengyan did not object to this.

Late at night, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong and Kuai Liang sat down in a house in the backyard.

After Liu Xiushen came in wearing plain clothes, he bowed his hand to the three.

After taking a seat, Liu Xiu said: "teacher, Mr. Chengyan, Mr. zirou, things are busy during the day. Please forgive me for the poor reception." The three men helped Liu Xiu a lot, and they can be called Liu Xiu's think tank. Although Liu Xiu had taken over the official post of Zhou mu, his attitude remained unchanged, and he respected them very much.

Pound said: "Xiuer, brother Jingsheng died of illness. You have to be patient."

Liu Xiu said, "don't worry, teacher. I understand."

Pound said justly: "we have heard about your succession to Jingzhou. But we all think that now you suddenly inherit Jingzhou, some abrupt, some hasty, a lot of things, have no time to prepare

Liu Xiu sighed and sighed: "I can't help it. What happened last night was too sudden. The disciples kept beating Cai Mao, expecting that Cai Mao might make some moves. However, I did not expect the situation to develop to this point. It would be much better if my father could last another year or two. "Kuai Liang said, "what happened last night?"

Liu Xiu knew that Kuai Yue didn't tell Kuai liang when he went back, otherwise Kuai Liang couldn't have known.

Liu Xiu didn't hide anything, and he told us what happened last night.

After that, Liu Xiu said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Cai would cheat his father and say that he had an affair with his second brother. In that case, his father couldn't calm down and killed his second brother in anger. When the second brother died unjustly, Cai said that there was no such thing at all. Then his father killed CAI. A series of things have dealt a great blow to my father. "

Kuai Liang, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan can't help but sigh.

These things are very touching.

Kuai Liang said: "there should be no problem when xiugongzi first took charge of Jingzhou, Changsha and Jiangxia counties, and Xiangyang should also have no problem. But I'm afraid it's hard to guess the prefects of other counties. If there is turbulence, the situation will be unpredictable. "

Liu Xiu also thought about this problem, but there was no way to stop it. He said, "it's going to rain. If my mother wants to marry, she will do what she should do. Even if there is turbulence, there is no way

Huang Chengyan said: "Xiuer, what do you think about you and Yueying? Originally, at this time, I shouldn't have mentioned it, but Yueying, the girl, is filial to Jingsheng. You should give an explanation. "

Liu Xiu replied, "I'm thinking about getting married after the Spring Festival. Now it's the end of the new year, and my father's new death. It's more appropriate to wait a few months for things to fade out. "

Huang Chengyan got a general time, relieved, nodded and said: "yes!"

After thinking for a long time, Lord pound said in a deep voice: "Xiuer, you will send people to each county early tomorrow morning, and inform the Sheriff of each county to come back to mourn king Shenggong. In this way, you can roughly estimate who is willing to support you based on the people who come back. "

"What the teacher reminds us is that the disciples will arrange it right away."

Immediately, Liu Xiu directly sent someone to call wenpin, and then arranged to go on.

After the matter was completed, Liu Xiucai said: "teacher, Mr. Chengyan, Mr. zirou, I was in charge of Jingzhou at the beginning, and there was a shortage of talents under my command. The three gentlemen are all my elders, and I.... "

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing this, pound interrupted Liu Xiu.

Obviously, Pang Degong has understood Liu Xiu's intention, and Liu Xiu intends to recruit them to be officials.

But Pang degongzhi was not in the officialdom and explained: "Xiuer, although I am not in Jingzhou officialdom, I am also concerned about your development and your every move. If I don't want to step into officialdom, I'll let you go. "

Huang Chengyan said: "people in officialdom can't help themselves. Now living in seclusion in the wild is not only free, but also helpful. That's the best result. "

Kuai Liang said: "Mr. Xiu, I'm not in good health, and it's hard for me to become an official. So, you don't have to persuade. "

Three people, all rejected Liu Xiu's proposal.

Liu Xiu sighed softly and said, "even so, I don't want to be forced. But if there's something wrong with you, you can't avoid the teacher, Mr. Chengyan and Mr. zirou. You are my think tank. "

"That's nature!"

Pound grinned, and there was a smile on his face.

Huang Chengyan and Kuai Liang also nodded, with an expression of boundless responsibility.

After talking with the three, Liu Xiu went back to Lingtang. Huang Yueying is still on the vigil. She sits down and puts some paper money in the brazier from time to time to make sure the brazier doesn't go out.

Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Huang Yueying asked, "third brother, father, where are they?"

Liu xiudao: "we've already had a rest. Yueying, go down and have a rest. Next, I'll watch the night. "

Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "it's OK. I'm in good spirits." There was a trace of tiredness on her beautiful face and a trace of blood in her eyes, but she insisted on staying with Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said, "if you want to stay, stay."

In the second half of the night, Huang Yueying couldn't stand it any longer. Liu Xiu asked people to send Huang Yueying down to have a rest, and then he was alone in the hall.
