Chapter 137: Consolidation

Liu Chengyou was very obedient and behaved very freely, saying that he would rest and recuperate, so he stayed in the house honestly, relieved the fatigue and pressure of the half-loaded horse, and behaved very peacefully.

Abandon all military and political affairs, every day in the house to read, practice, practice martial arts, enrich themselves, as in Jinyang, every morning and evening into the palace to the queen mother Li to say goodbye, back to the house as usual, occasionally flirt with the Geng family, but also in the garden in the house to reclaim a piece of land, destroy the original flowers and plants, plant some side dishes. It's laid-back, at least on the surface.

However, secretly, Liu Chengyou did not relax his attention to the government affairs, state affairs, Gyeonggi and even the situation in the world.

In the early morning, the morning was still hazy, and the fog had not completely dispersed, Liu Chengyou was already in the Renming Palace, greeting the Li family. In the palace, it is the daily scene of mother's kindness and filial piety.

"Come on, try it, does it fit?" Li personally took out a brocade robe and put it on for Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou showed humility and filial piety, and let Li move on himself. Knowing that Liu Chengyou likes plain colors, the gray brocade deliberately selected by the Li family is embroidered with some silver-white patterns of mountains and seas, flowers and birds, which looks very exquisite.

"Your Highness, these patterns are all embroidered by the mother herself." On the side, a female official who was waiting said to Liu Chengyou.

"Mother's hand." Hearing this, Liu Chengyou immediately flattered the Li family and said: "My mother is really ingenious, and your craftsmanship is really ingenious." ”

Li couldn't help but glance at Liu Chengyou, and now that Liu Chengyou said some sweet words, she was not surprised. took two steps back and looked at the overall effect, and frowned: "It's a little too big, take it off, I'll change it." ”

"No, it's just right." Liu Chengyou stretched his hand and said softly: "In another year, it will be close." ”

"Breakfast is ready." The chamberlain came to report.

Liu Chengyou hugged his fist at the Li family: "I deliberately didn't eat breakfast, and I'm going to rub it on your side again." ”

"I've prepared your dishes and chopsticks." Li stretched out his hand and nodded softly on Liu Chengyou's forehead.

After a bowl of porridge, Li Shifeng glanced at Liu Chengyou, and asked a little casually: "How are you resting in the mansion these days?" ”

Liu Chengyou replied: "Very good, I have exhausted the fatigue of the expedition." ”

"The official family lets you recuperate, so you can recuperate, don't be anxious and depressed. The country has just been established, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and you father and son are still needed to work together to rejuvenate ......"

Hearing Li say this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but raise his head and looked at her in surprise, only to see her mother's graceful jade face, her expression was natural, the corners of her mouth were a little soft, and her loving eyes were a little deep.

"Yes!" Swallowing the pastry in his mouth, Liu Chengyou replied softly. In her heart, she couldn't help but guess that her mother suddenly said this, was it her own thoughts, or was she instructed by Liu Zhiyuan to come to appease herself?

After retiring from the Li family, someone came from the side of the vertical arch hall, and Liu Zhiyuan summoned him. By the way, Liu Chengyou went, and on the way, he met Liu Chengxun, who was also called.

The two brothers said hello and exchanged pleasantries, Liu Chengyou looked at Liu Chengxun and asked, "Big brother, how is your health?" ”

The autumn morning was indeed cool, and the wind was blowing coldly, but it was not so cold. But Liu Chengxun was wrapped in a thick robe, covering his head, as if he couldn't stand the wind.

Liu Chengxun's physical condition was obviously not very good, the fair-skinned Jun face was flushed with a strange ruddyness, tightened the robe on his body, and replied with a smile: "It's not a big problem, it's just a general injury, after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, it has improved a lot." ”

Observing Liu Chengxun's expression, Liu Chengyou frowned slightly, and reminded: "Big brother, don't be too tired, the affairs of the displaced people can be handed over to the officials below to do, and there is no need to work so hard." ”

"It doesn't matter." Liu Chengxun waved his hand.

These days, Liu Chengxun was basically busy dealing with the problem of displaced people in the Gyeonggi area, but he still obtained a certain amount of support from Liu Zhiyuan, and in the Zhengzhou area, a region was demarcated for the implementation of Guantun. He also recommended Liu Xianjiao, the former envoy of the third division, as the Zhengzhou assassin and the field envoy, responsible for the implementation of policies.

This time, Liu Chengxun used the right person, Liu Xianjiao is over the age of old, but this person is old and strong, and he has outstanding political talents. In this chaotic era, every thing is compassionate and cared for, and the government and the people are good. With Liu Shenjiao's implementation, it is very smooth and orderly, even if life is difficult, there is such an honest and charitable old man as an example, but it can also soothe people's hearts.

Liu Chengxun devoted himself to it, and from time to time he went west to Zhengzhou to inspect the situation. Seeing that there was an effect over there, I heard that Liu Chengxun was already planning to start other areas. It seems that Liu Chengxun is a little anxious.

Seeing that Liu Chengxun didn't care much, Liu Chengyou didn't persuade him more, half a position behind, the two went together, and asked casually: "Big brother, do you know, what is the so-called matter of my father's summons?" ”

Liu Chengxun turned his head to look at Liu Chengyou, his eyes flashed slightly, he coughed lightly, and said in an uncertain tone: "It should be a matter of the whole army." ”

Recently, the military and political affairs of the Han Dynasty have focused on two things, one is the transfer of various sections, and the other is the rectification of the forbidden army. The transfer of the festival is still being discussed, who to transfer, when to transfer, it is not particularly important, but the rectification of the forbidden army is a matter of immediacy, and even, only when the forbidden army is purged, can the Han court free up energy to adjust the Fang towns in various places.

In the vertical arch hall, the privy envoy Yang Wei, the deputy envoy Guo Wei, the three envoys Wang Zhang, and the commander of the forbidden army, Shi Hongzhao. Liu Zhiyuan read the final reorganization charter, and Shi Hongzhao personally reported to him.

"According to the precedent, the guards set up two armies, the Guardian and the Fengguo, and the two armies were divided into horses and infantry armies. The armies of the former dynasty, Guangrui and Sandutou were placed in the first two armies, and the remaining armies such as Xingguo, Weishun, Zhongwei, Xingshun, Crossbowman, Zongshun and other armies were not fully staffed, and the schools were left empty, all of them were abolished, and the soldiers and horses were merged into the new army. From the north, the soldiers and horses of Hedong came to Liuwujie, Xingjie, and Longqi, and the rest were withdrawn and merged into the three armies. In addition, the ministers discussed the young and strong people of the army, and set up a new army, thinking that it was the essence of the forbidden army. After the above armies are full, the rest will be set up with a small army and a separate military number...... The guards were under the jurisdiction of all the armies, and after the rectification was over, the Ma Bu army counted 110,000 soldiers. ”

"The armies are deployed in front of the Imperial City Palace, and the three armies of the Inner Temple, the Scattered Members, and the Crane Control are set up, and a new army is placed, totaling 20,000 soldiers and horses."

“......”

Shi Hongzhao probably introduced Liu Zhiyuan once, and then waited for his reaction, as mentioned in the book, it has been revised and adjusted several times, it is very detailed, the specific establishment, troop allocation, and even the garrison area have been mentioned, of course, more importantly, a list is attached, which is the appointment of the generals of the various armies after the completion of the reorganization.

This reorganization of the army is basically a big digestion of the Jin soldiers of the previous dynasty by the imperial court, and the original Hedong generals and colonels are naturally retained, and they have been promoted to some extent, but the personnel transfer is too operable. Shi Hongzhao and Guo Wei drew up a list "impartially", just waiting for Liu Zhiyuan to nod.

When the two brothers Liu Chengxun and Liu Chengyou met, Liu Zhiyun was looking at it seriously, and it can be seen from his expression that he should still be very satisfied.

"The guards and pro-army have a new army, the military number is small, and the rest of the new army can be called the Liang and Tang forbidden army military numbers." Liu Zhiyuan picked up the pen and sketched on the book, and said in his mouth.

Then stared at the list, looked at it very carefully, in the senior officer corps of the Guards Division, Shi Hongzhao did not dare to be biased no matter how arrogant he was, Liu Zhiyuan's descendants of generals such as Liu Xin, Li Hongxin, Shang Hongqian, Gai Wan, Guo Congyi, etc., were all high in the ranks, and the most secondary, they were also military envoys of a large army. What Liu Zhiyuan cares about the most is also this part of the people, as for the lower-level generals, there is no need for him, the emperor, to care about it personally, at least, Liu Zhiyuan himself sees it this way.

"Da Lang, Erlang, this is the charter of the whole army, you come and see, what do you think?" Looking up at the two brothers, Liu Zhiyuan said.

Liu Chengyou walked in in a low-key manner, stood respectfully, observed the situation in the hall, swept over Shi Hongzhao and Yang Wei, and then settled down. After Liu Chengxun finished reading it, Liu Chengyou took it.

As a matter of fact, after the first draft of this army reorganization plan was completed, it was transferred to Liu Chengyou's case, and he basically understood its contents. After browsing through the flowers, the focus was on the Longqi Army.

In Beijing, the Longqi three steps, one horse and four armies, only Ma Quanyi's first army, based on it, reorganized, governed 10,000 people, and set up four armies, divided into left and right compartments, Ma Quanyi was the commander of the right wing of Longqi.

The rest were to be disposed of in the same way, but to be incorporated into the other armies of the guards. In particular, the cavalry soldiers led by Han Tong were all assigned to the Holy Protector Army. (The two armies of Protector and Fengguo are the guards and horses, the infantry army number, which belong to the military number, and the following are the Longqi, Wujie, Xingjie and other armies)

"Very good, the two generals Shi and Guo arranged it very properly." This was Liu Chengxun's answer, and his gaze only stayed on the list for a while, as if he was looking for someone.

"The retainers have no objections." Liu Chengyou also replied to Liu Zhiyuan happily, with no difference in his face.

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said to Shi and Guo: "According to this charter, the forbidden army will be reorganized, and I will inspect the new army in a month!" ”

"Yes!" The two of them answered in unison.

The mood was obviously much better than before, Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Liu Chengyou and chuckled: "Erlang, I heard that you have been in the mansion recently, cultivating your life and cultivating your nature, and you have personally cultivated the land, but it is very comfortable." ”

I don't know what Liu Zhiyuan is thinking, Liu Chengyou just responded very calmly: "The importance of agriculture is the foundation of the country, so it is agricultural reclamation, and it is a little clear." This leisure makes you smile......"

Liu Zhiyuan laughed out loud, seemed to be really happy, and said to Liu Chengyou: "I can't let you be idle, enter the Privy Council tomorrow, manage military affairs, and seal affairs!" ”

"Yes!" With his eyebrows raised, Liu Chengyou bowed.

"Guo Shumi!" After retiring, Liu Chengyou took the initiative to find Guo Wei.

Guo Wei still had a modest attitude, and hugged his fist at Liu Chengyou: "Your Highness." ”

This is the first time that Liu Chengyou has communicated with Guo Wei head-on since arriving in Kaifeng. After walking a few steps together, Liu Chengyou said in a calm tone: "The matter of the whole army, General Longqi, depends on the privy protection!" ”

When drafting the charter, Shi Hongzhao really saw that the Longqi Army was unhappy, he was jealous, and he had an order, and he was partial to the arrangement of the Longqi Army generals. That is, Guo Wei took care of it from the side, so as not to let him go too far, although the Longqi Army was scattered, the general was still there. Liu Chengyou knows this in his heart.

Hearing this, Guo Wei shook his head solemnly, and said to Liu Chengyou: "Longqi generals are all brave and strategic, talented in commanding troops, and have meritorious services in the country. ”

Hearing Guo Wei say this, Liu Chengyou's expression remained unchanged, and he said to him seriously: "Longqi soldiers, with my birth and death, I naturally hope that they can have a good future." Guo Shumi, since it is out of public heart, but for me, this kindness is remembered in my heart. ”

Seeing Liu Chengyou's solemn appearance, Guo Wei couldn't help but smile a little and shook his head: "Your Highness is serious." ”

"In the list of officers, it seems that Guo Rong is not seen?" Not entangled in this matter, Liu Chengyou raised the question in his heart.

"This matter, Xia Guan originally intended to ask Guo Rong to personally inform His Highness!" Facing Liu Chengyou's puzzled eyes, Guo Wei said: "I'm not afraid of His Highness's jokes, the subordinate is a little selfish, and intends to find a vacancy for him." ”

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou became interested: "Where do you want it?" ”

"Lanzhou."

"Lanzhou? It's an important place! Liu Chengyou muttered, couldn't help but glance at Guo Wei, could only see his side face, and said leisurely: "My uncle Yanchao is not a good person to get along with." ”

chatted a few words, but Guo Wei took the initiative Liu Chengyou and said: "Your Highness, the lower official has a reluctant request. ”

"Speak!" Liu Chengyou raised his hand, a little curious in his heart.

"The next matter of the whole army is redundant, and there is an urgent shortage of talents who are familiar with military affairs. The lower officials heard that there is a person in your shogun, named Wei Renpu, who is shrewd and capable, well-read and strong, who has served in the Privy Council of the Jin Dynasty, and is very sensitive to the affairs of the war, and I implore His Highness to cut his love and temporarily borrow it from the lower officials, what do you think? Guo Wei smiled and expressed his intentions.

His brows furrowed suddenly, Wei Renpu is now the most important adviser under Liu Chengyou. Touching his chin, he thought seriously for a while, raised his eyes and said lightly: "With Mr. Wei's talent, I have long had the intention of recommending, but I am afraid that others will say that I am recommended for personal reasons." If Guo Shumi recommends it, then others will have nothing to say. ”

"However, Guo Shumi, Mr. Wei's official position, can't be sent to a subordinate like the previous dynasty......" Liu Chengyou said half-jokingly.

Guo Wei smiled and said, "Tomorrow, the lower official will recommend him to be the Privy Council!" ”

The Privy Council, although the official is not large, but the power, in the Privy Council, can access the position of the core military and political affairs.

Liu Chengyou is quite satisfied, he doesn't want Guo Wei to "dig the wall", after all, he himself is also in the Privy Council. In fact, even without Guo Wei, he can run Wei Renpu into the Privy Council. But with Guo Wei, it's obviously easier, he is selling well to himself.

The conversation between the two seemed to be more harmonious. For Guo Wei, Liu Chengyou no longer has the kind of "prejudice" that he had because of his "inherent impression" when he first came, and after such a long time, Liu Chengyou has a clear enough understanding of the situation in the Han Dynasty. Compared with Yang Wei, Shi Hongzhao and others, he is really just a "younger brother", and in terms of qualifications and prestige, he is not a threat to Liu Chengyou.

Besides, Guo Rong, the "No. 1 Ming Jun of the Five Generations", has been used by his confidants for several months, and he has used it very easily, so why do you need to worry about Guo Wei at this time?

Thinking about it, Liu Chengyou is in a really good mood for Guo Wei to get closer to him.
