In the summer and April of the second year of Qianyou, Liu Chengyou returned from hunting at Zifeng Hill. This is the first time that Liu Chengyou has led a crowd to hunt since he ascended the throne, and the core purpose is to review the army and make Xuanhe monarchy. Long Jie, iron cavalry two horse army, each out of an army with the hunt, a total of more than 2,000 horsemen, the minister of civil and military affairs from Feng Dao, Guo Wei and more than 30 people to accompany them, a day, overnight and return.

In addition to participating in the hunting, the horse army accompanying them was the elite of the Han Forbidden Army, and in addition to participating in the hunting, they also carried out the confrontation drill of horse warfare tactics, which was personally supervised by the Son of Heaven. During the whole hunting process, a serious order was maintained, and officers at all levels were rewarded according to the results of the hunting.

There is a small episode, in the wild forest to meet the deer, besiege and expel it, the soldiers shot it, all missed, and the Son of Heaven arrived, led the bow and fired, a shot hit, the army cheered. No matter what the facts are, the version that has spread is like this, and the propaganda effect has been achieved, and no one will delve into what is going on, Liu Chengyou himself is the same, and he thinks it is true.

In addition, it is the virtuous concubine who is driving, wearing military uniforms, being driven by silver armor, riding vertically and horizontally, with a vigorous posture and skillful bow and horse, which is very famous. The world knows that not only the Son of Heaven is "brave and healthy", but there are also women in the harem who do not let their eyebrows go.

"Running back and forth, I'm tired, go back to the palace to rest!" Since the gate of the North Palace returned to the inner court, Liu Chengyou was still wearing armor, and between steps, he folded the little lady in half and ordered.

Fold Xiaoniang's heroic posture, between the jade faces, exuding refreshment, a hunting trip, so that the depression that has accumulated in her heart since entering the palace has been eliminated a lot. In fact, such a rouge horse, restrained in the deep palace and consuming its personality, has the feeling of burning the piano and cooking the crane.

Liu Chengyou also felt the little melancholy behind the forced smile of the little girl, and ordered him to hunt with him, just to let her release the emotions in her heart. However, it doesn't stop there, a political marriage is a political marriage after all, if Zhen Xiaoniang doesn't try to get used to the life of the forbidden palace and enter the role of the emperor's woman, then the result will not be too wonderful, even if Liu Chengyou loves this lady very much now.

Of course, in fact, Zhe Xiaoniang did not suffer from the constraints of the palace gate as described in the "book", and was bent on pursuing freedom and singing...... On the contrary, although the time is short, Zhen Xiaoniang is already trying to adapt.

Although Zhen Xiaoniang is still in good spirits, and there is a sense of unfinished business, but in the face of Liu Chengyou's orders, she responded to the order very interestingly.

Liu Chengyou returned to the camp on light cavalry and walked into the palace, seeing him stepping on his legs, Zhang Dejun was clever and courteous: "Official, let's take the imperial chariot!" ”

"I'm tired of walking left and right, be prepared!" Liu Chengyou directly agreed.

Hearing that the Son of Heaven returned from hunting, Queen Fu and Concubine Gao sent people to greet each other, and Liu Chengyou replied with warm words, raising the fetus with peace of mind. Obviously, the recent spoiling of the virtuous concubine has made the queen and the concubine both have ideas.

"From the inside, choose two good Su embroidery, and reward the queen and the concubine!" Under the service of the inner servant, between disarming and changing clothes, Liu Chengyou commanded.

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, Su and Fan ask to see each other!" It was almost the time when Liu Chengyou returned to the palace, and the people reported that Su Yuqi and Fan Zhen wanted to see each other.

Speaking of which, there are a total of seven Tongping Zhangshi above the court, Yang, Wang, Su, Feng, Li, Fan, and Zhao, who share the power. With Yang Wei and Wang Zhang being the most important, in addition to Zhao Ying's basic charge, Su Yuqi, who has recently been a scholar of Jixian Hall and a member of the Ministry of Judgment, is the most low-key.

is also the founding father of the People's Republic of China and a former minister of Hedong, Su Yuqi is obviously consciously reducing his sense of presence in the court. The root cause, on the one hand, is its own limited talent and morality, with Liu Chengyou wantonly promoting the old ministers, Su Yuqi really has no outstanding place in governing the government;

On the other hand, it is also more important, there is a heart of self-preservation, you must know that at the beginning of the court, he and Su Fengji could be called "Ersu", at that time, the situation was prosperous, and he was no less than Su Fengji. It's just that after eating enough and getting fat, it converged, and Su Fengji attracted firepower in front.

However, Su Fengji's fate still made Su Yuqi vigilant.

It's miserable!

After the ceremony, the seat was offered tea, and Liu Chengyou asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Yujue was extremely deferential, got up and lowered his waist, smiled with his eyebrows open, and said: "Your Majesty, Yingzhou reported that a pair of purple rabbits and white rabbits were found in the territory, and they were specially presented to the imperial court." This is auspicious, auspicious and auspicious, and the minister thinks that the edict is praised at the moment. ”

Su Yuqi smiled and groaned, but when Liu Chengyou heard it, his expression did not show much joy, his eyebrows were slightly tight, he recalled, and asked: "The Yingzhou regiment training envoy is Meng Xingchao!" ”

Without finding the expectant expression on Liu Chengyou's face, Su Yuqi's voice lowered a little and said, "Exactly!" ”

Meng Xingchao, the envoy of the Yingzhou regiment, was appointed by Liu Zhiyuan at the beginning of the country.

Liu Chengyou really can't show much interest in auspicious auspicious signs or something, he only thinks that such people are in charge of the military and political affairs of a state, and they can't do their duty, so they are opportunistic. However, it is rare to be able to take the initiative to offer and flatter the Son of Heaven and the court.

With a complicated emotion, Liu Chengyou asked Fan Qian: "Fan Qing, what do you think of it, to be awarded?" ”

After paying homage to the prime minister, Fan Zhen became more and more calm, assisting Mingjun to show his talents and learn, and then realize his ambitions. In short, Fan Xianggong has been proud of the spring breeze recently.

seemed to understand Liu Chengyou's psychology, Fan Zhen arched his hand and said: "Since it is a sign of auspiciousness given by God, the court should express it to comfort the hearts of the ministers and appease the people's will!" ”

"Then the central government will issue an edict to praise it!" Liu Chengyou commanded lightly.

Then he added very quietly: "Is there really a rabbit in the world, purple?" ”

didn't linger on this issue for long, and looked at Fan Zhen again: "What official business does Fan Qing have?" ”

Fan Zhen's face was calm, and he was too flattering compared to Su Yuqi, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Jingnan Jiedu made Gao Baorong send people again to go north to Tokyo to pay tribute!" ”

As he spoke, Fan Zhen presented a gift list.

"This Gao Bao has only inherited his father's position for half a year, and this is the second time to pay tribute!" Liu Chengyou took the gift list and glanced at it a few times, although he was not as heroic as Nantang, but his mood was obviously better.

"Exactly!" Fan Zhen replied.

In the winter of last year, Nanping Wang Gao Congzhi died of illness and was succeeded by his son Gao Baorong. At the beginning of the inheritance, he took the initiative to report on the table. In fact, since the middle of last year, Gao Congzhi has taken the initiative to give in, and he is a tribute and a minister, intending to repair the broken relationship between the two parties, obviously paving the way for his descendants.

As far as matters are concerned, although Gao Congzhi has the nickname of "Gao Laizi", in terms of his own talent, he is already a middle-class asset, and it is not easy to maneuver around the countries according to the land of Jingnan.

"Your Majesty, it is reported that Jingnan Jiedu is a high and tolerant person, pedantic and weak, lacking in talent and morality, and has no ability to govern the army and govern, but he does not have the demeanor of a father. His servants were diligent and obedient, and they thought that they were suffering at the beginning of the country, and the criminals were in our dynasty. Your Majesty may return the gift to reassure him! Fan Zhen suggested to Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou thought about it for a while, his expression was very relaxed, and asked, "The envoy is still in the protocol house?" ”

"Yes!"

"Tell me to go down, I will entertain you, and I will meet you in person tomorrow!"

"In addition, the edict is to be added to the Jingnan Festival to make Gao Cong inspect the school master and the servant!" The two fictitious titles, for Liu Chengyou, don't need money at all.

For the Han court, a cowardly secession lord is, of course, good news, and convenient for the court to operate.

Strategically to the south, Liu Chengyou's eyes are not only on the southeast corner!
