Liu Chengyou has never talked about the idea of moving the capital to others, because for now, it is neither urgent nor necessary, and only when he is full of food will he implement the idea of moving the capital now.

Judging from the current situation, Kaifeng is the most suitable capital for the Han Dynasty, not only in terms of economic and tax considerations, but more importantly, for the rule of the Central Plains and Hebei. Although the Han Dynasty originated in Hedong, as a northern country, the core of its rule was still in the Central Plains and Hebei.

If you want to stabilize these two territories, only Tokyo and Ye can achieve the effect of radiating all directions, and Luoyang is biased. When it comes to moving to Yedu, there is no need to toss.

As for military considerations, with the situation in the world that the Han Dynasty is facing now, it also has its advantages in maintaining a large number of troops in Tokyo at this critical moment when it is turning from chaos to rule, especially in the southern and northern conquests. The Khitan in the north, for the time being, does not worry about its ability to cross the Yellow River again, and the forces in the south are even less in their eyes, if they really have the strength to advance into the Central Plains, there will be nothing to do with the current Northern Han.

The city of Kaifeng, up to now, has not been devastated and destroyed by the floods of the Yellow River. Liu Chengyou has the idea of moving the capital, but he is just worried about the future. In the face of the need to rebuild Kaifeng City, I was a little hesitant to require a huge investment.

But after thinking about it, I found that the large-scale reconstruction of Kaifeng still has its necessity. First, with the current urban situation of Kaifeng, it is indeed unable to meet its social and economic development needs. In the next long period of time, at least before the reunification of the north and the south, there is no need to move the capital.

Although Liu Chengyou has the ambition to encompass the United States, he does not have the absolute confidence to flatten the countries in a short period of time, which will be a span of at least ten years. And Liu Chengyou could not tolerate the increasingly bad urban environment in Kaifeng, until the unification of the world, even if it was simply for the needs of the city's development.

Thinking about it, this Kaifeng still has to be rebuilt......

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou thought about this question seriously in his mind, and initially considered it, after the southern expedition.

"Lang Jun is still thinking about Kaifeng?" Zhen Xiaoniang tilted her head slightly, looking at Liu Chengyou, who was standing there and contemplating for a long time.

After coming back to his senses, Liu Chengyou said casually: "On the day of the first half of the month, go north to Fengqiu to hunt, and you will drive with you!" ”

Hearing this, Zhi Xiaoniang immediately came to her senses, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she responded with a smile on her cheeks: "Xie Langjun!" ”

"At that time, I can take the opportunity to take a look at the horse style of the proud girl of Fuzhou!"

Turning his head to look at Zhao Kuangyin standing on the side, Liu Chengyou suddenly had a thought and beckoned to him.

"What do you command?" Zhao Kuangyin approached and asked.

"Well......" Liu Chengyou opened his mouth and waved his hand again: "It's nothing!" ”

Liu Chengyou originally had a sudden idea, and asked Zhao Kuangyin about moving the capital, and he had the right to come to the school examination and take the test at the same time. However, this thought was quickly annihilated, after all, such an inaccurate major event is not easy to export casually, otherwise it will spread, and it may release wrong signals, confuse people's minds, and cause unnecessary political turmoil.

Even if you can silence it, you really don't need to spend unnecessary words on that thought.

Regarding Liu Chengyou's strange performance, although Zhao Kuangyin felt puzzled, he also adhered to the etiquette of being a subordinate, looked calm as usual, and retreated. That respectful and even obedient attitude, without deliberate flattery, is full of calmness between his demeanor, probably in the official history, he waited for Guo Rong like this.

In a trance, I suddenly saw the people in the market, calling friends and companions, gathering in one direction, and the movement was not small, which attracted Liu Chengyou's attention.

"Go and ask, what's going on?" Liu Chengyou commanded.

didn't wait too long, Zhao Kuangyin turned around and reported: "It was Hou Mansion Yin who sat in the court to hear the case in Kaifeng Mansion, which attracted the people nearby to hear the news. ”

After recalling it a little in his mind, Fang realized that the Kaifeng Mansion was still not far away. Liu Chengyou couldn't help but be curious: "What kind of case can cause such a sensation?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Liu Chengyou slightly, and tried his best to make his voice emotionless: "It is said that it is related to Uncle Murong Huang!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou was instantly interested, closed his eyes a few times, and thought for a while: "Go and see!" ”

Kaifeng Mansion is one of the few magnificent government offices in Kaifeng City, and ordinary people can feel great deterrence just by standing in front of the yamen.

In the afternoon, the yamen was opened, and the people in the vicinity gathered in front of the yamen, maintaining solemnity under the maintenance of the yamen guards.

Above the public court, Yin Houyi of Kaifeng Mansion, who is over the age of six, is sitting in the court to try the case. Dressed in a purple robe and with an official head on his head, such a serious outfit on Hou Yi, an old martial artist, couldn't see much disobedience.

Generally speaking, if it is not a big case or an important case, Hou Lao Mansion Yin will not be promoted to the court in person, as a Buddhist old man who is generally slippery as an official loach, he is very lazy, and most of the cases accepted by Kaifeng Mansion are handed over to the judges of Kaifeng Mansion to do. Hou Laofu Yin, since taking office, he seems to be indifferent on weekdays, and he hasn't done much, but after thinking about it carefully, he has done a lot of practical things, and it is really not easy for a martial artist from Qiu Ba to achieve this realm.

Although this case did not involve human life, it was about the powerful royal relatives, and ordinary people really didn't dare to try it, so they could only bother Hou Yi to come out in person.

In fact, the matter has been investigated very clearly, and it only needs to be done in court, and it is not complicated. It was Murong Yanchao's construction of the Tokyo Mansion, and since last winter, nearly 300 craftsmen and laborers have been recruited.

In the early stage, it is generally paid on a daily basis, but the problem is that in the later stage, there are cases of deduction, arrears, and even refusal to pay after completion. A cadre of craftsmen came to the door to beg for money, but they were bullied and beaten, and some were injured and disabled.

In the hall, there were five small people in simple clothes and rough skin, waiting with their heads buried in trembling. Standing opposite was a middle-aged short-bearded man in cotton clothes, not Murong Yanchao, but the steward of his house, and his attitude was still a little arrogant.

The trial of the case has reached a certain stage.

I saw Hou Yi, who was shocked, stared at the old man, and scolded sharply: "One person is falsely accused, is there a reason why hundreds of people are falsely accused at the same time?" Right and wrong, cause and effect, this official has already investigated clearly. You wicked slave, do you dare to quibble in court? ”

Without waiting for the steward to explain, Hou Yi continued: "The one who is the same as you has already confessed, and it is clear that you are an evil slave, who took advantage of the power of the overseer to deduct the money of the hired laborers, and his personal interests. After the incident, in the face of begging for the craftsman, he became ill-willed, instructed the family, beat and expelled him, and caused the three craftsmen to be seriously injured and disabled......"

Although Hou Yi is old, his mind is very clear, his expression is clear, his color is cold, and the evil spirit brought by decades of military service is terrifying.

Murong Yanchao's steward also came out of the army, and above this hall, he looked very confident, although his arrogance had weakened, he was still very arrogant, and he still raised Murong Yanchao: "Don't be deceived by this untouchable, it is obvious that they are not greedy enough, and they are taught by my master, how can they shorten him with some money and food." If the case is wrong, the verdict is wrong, I am afraid that I will ......"

"What are you afraid of!" Hou Yi's old face became calm at this time.

Seeing this, the steward was proud in his heart, and pretended to hint: "My master is a dignified uncle! ”

"What a wicked slave, in front of the court, so arrogant, he wants to use the imperial uncle to suppress the official, I really don't know the height of the sky, the official is about to commit you a crime of contempt for the court!" Hou Yi's color changed sharply, and his gray hair and beard seemed to be full of murderous aura: "Come on, call me!" ”

After that, he took out two red-headed sticks from the lottery holder of the court case, threw them down, and came to the twenty boards first.

After leaving the church, he immediately stepped forward with a stick, regardless of it, and fought hard to knock it down, and then he carried out the execution without sparing.

Miserable but there was a happy cry of pain in the hall, seeing that the torture was more than halfway, Hou Yifang said slowly: "You evil slave, you dare to mention the emperor's uncle, you deceive the master, deceive the superiors and subordinates, do this evil thing, make trouble in this house, and dare to lie and threaten, you really don't know death!" ”

Hou Yi's trial style is very rough, he simply asks the right questions, and after presenting the evidence he has collected, he directly adjudicates the case. All the deducted remuneration will be returned, and the injured craftsmen will be compensated, and the funds paid, in addition to the money of the steward, must also be exceeded by its lord Murong Yan, after all, the royal majesty is not strict.

As for the stewards and accomplices who committed crimes, they were sentenced to exile, which was already a light sentence, and they should be punished by death according to the rules of the early Han Dynasty. That is, no one was killed, otherwise his life would have been paid.

The penalty was decided, and the crowd rejoiced.

Zhao Kuangyin watched the entire trial process, his expression was calm, his face flashed with a thoughtful look, he broke away from the crowd and reported to Liu Chengyou, who was sitting in a clean place.

Listening to it, Liu Chengyou showed a playful face: "Listen to what you said, this Hou Fujun, trying cases and judging cases, still has some means......"

"Yuen Long." Liu Chengyou called.

"What do you command?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"You say, can a little steward really deceive the upper and lower levels to that extent?"

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated a little, and said cautiously: "Maybe the imperial uncle is confined to the house, ignoring internal and external affairs, and being deceived by him." ”

Listening to his answer, Liu Chengyou smiled, and looked at Zhao Kuangyin's reaction, and knew that he had used his brain.

Obviously, there is another inside story behind this case, and there may have been exchanges between Hou Yi and Murong Yanchao in advance. However, Liu Chengyou didn't care too much, as long as the case was handled......
