Chapter 10: The Veteran Comes Out
The climax of joy never lasts long, and when the tide falls, the atmosphere in the Saihua Hall also falls. Although they are all relatives, looking at the moody face of the Son of Heaven, they can't help but mutter.
"Concubine Xian's mother and son are inconvenient to disturb, so they will disperse here, and they will go to Jiying Hall later to participate in the family banquet!" Liu Chengyou waved his robe and commanded everyone.
"Yes!"
"The beginning of your month has passed, and Shiro is a baby after all, so it is inconvenient to show up more, so I can take care of my body......" Holding the hand of the little lady, Liu Chengyou said softly.
The little lady smiled and nodded: "Thank you official!" ”
subconsciously tightened the swaddling clothes for the prince so as not to catch a cold, and Qiong's eyes were full of maternal light.
looked up at Liu Chengyou, pointed to the many congratulatory gifts in the hall, and said softly: "These gold and jade treasures are useless when placed in the palace, so they should be offered and stored for national use." ”
is sincere, Liu Chengyou can be sure that this is not the little lady's welcome, sighing in his heart, his mouth is still soft: "It's all the hearts of relatives and elders, accept it." ”
The little lady nodded, swept the bejeweled utensils, and had the idea of finding a treasure chest and putting it away in the pavilion, she knew that Liu Chengyou actually didn't like those extravagant things.
Glancing in the direction of the side room, the Empress Dowager Li was over there, talking with several uncles, especially Li Hongxin, who was dismissed and seized power, and it seemed that the atmosphere was very harmonious. Leaned in and listened attentively, not particularly clearly, but the vague content still made Liu Chengyou's heart relax.
The Li family is comforting his uncles and letting them let go of their worries......
gave Zhi Congruan a look, and the old minister understood, followed Liu Chengyou, and went out of the palace. Stroll through the palace corridors, and the palace attendants are protected in front and back, sheltering from the wind and snow.
Fu and Gao have grace, of course Liu Chengyou will not forget to fold from Ruan, compared to Fu and Gao, Liu Chengyou's feeling for Zhegong is actually more cordial. Because, in all aspects, compared with Fu and Gao Ergong, they are far inferior to each other. Without the huge influence of the two major generals' families, it was easier for Zhe Congruan to gain Liu Chengyou's trust.
Then, Zhe Congruan was transferred from Fuzhou to the Central Plains, and took over as Fu Yanqing's envoy to Yanzhou, at least on the surface, it was a great favor to the old man, after all, he was transferred from the barren border to the Central Plains. Moreover, under the governance of Fu Yanqing, Yanzhou can be described as politically harmonious, and its development and recovery are very healthy.
It's just that he was transferred from his lair......
Of course, Liu Chengyou did not do it too obviously, after Zhe Congruan resigned, he was directly succeeded by his father-in-law Zhe Deran, who had not yet met, and continued to maintain Zhe's rule and influence on Fuzhou, and at the same time added officials to the knighthood, showing his trust and importance to the people of the world.
It is not that there are no other small actions, Liu Chengyou used the principle of "it is inconvenient for the son to surpass the father", and demoted the Fuzhou to a defensive state, and the Jiedu envoy to the defensive envoy, and still retained the Yongan army. Although it is not easy to realize, only its name has been changed, but in terms of name, it is already exerting the influence of the imperial court.
"It is said that Concubine Xian is the pearl of the public, and I came to Beijing to visit, but I can rest assured that I didn't bully the girl!" Walking around, looking at the old look of the old Ruan, Liu Chengyou said gently.
"Your Majesty is serious!" Zhi Congruan shook his head, and the old man brushed his beard with relief: "My granddaughter, who grew up in the border field, although she knows etiquette, but she is not informal. ”
"Then the old man will underestimate the lady!" Liu Chengyou said: "I also love his sassy and heroic appearance, and he is eclectic!" ”
Hearing this, he folded his hand sideways: "In this way, the old minister is indeed relieved!" ”
"Be open-minded!" With a finger on his chest, he gestured, Liu Chengyou's robe sleeves swayed, his hands behind his back, and he was concerned about the recent situation of Congruan: "Serving in Yanzhou, have you ever been used to it?" ”
Zhi Congruan replied with emotion: "King Wei's governance of the army is very good, and it is quite popular with the people, and the old ministers only follow the old policy, and follow the rules and regulations, and do not work hard. It's only been a few months, and this body has grown hip flesh. ”
Liu Chengyou nodded: "Gong has been fighting horses all his life, and he is really not a person who covets comfort!" ”
Zhe Congruan said: "We have gone through all the battles, but we are also stable, but in today's world, it is rare to be peaceful!" ”
After speaking, looking at Liu Chengyou, who bowed slightly, he turned Congruan and asked: "Your Majesty is only seen by the minister, I don't know what to order, if there is a drive, although the minister is old, he is willing to go." ”
Clearly, the Duke sensed something.
After walking a few steps, Liu Chengyou said slowly: "Zhang Yanchao of Jinzhou Festival, hunting and falling horses, relapsed and died of old diseases. The imperial court intends to move the town to change the defense, and it is proposed to use Wang Yan of Pizhou to restore the town of Jinzhou, and move Yang Chengxin to Anzhou with the Anzhou Festival, Anzhou lacks people, and I think of going to Zhenanzhou with the public! ”
Liu Chengyou explained the situation again: "At present, the situation in the south is unstable, Jingnan is alternating between the old and the new, and it is still unstable. Anzhou is the key to the south gate of the Han Dynasty, and it is necessary to calm down with the ministers of the commander in the heart to prevent accidents. ”
did not directly accept it, but Ruan hesitated, and seeing this, Liu Chengyou said directly: "The public seems to have concerns, but he is blunt!" ”
Zhi Congruan said directly: "The situation in the south is not very clear to the minister, so it is inconvenient to talk about it. It's just that from their own point of view, the ministers are northerners, and they are not accustomed to the water and soil of the south. A person with the ability, riding and shooting, the southern water network is dense, if there is something, I am afraid that it is not a place for ministers. Moreover, Xiangzhou has An Xianqi, and the old minister is located in the northern Xinjiang, and his prestige is also known. ”
"This minister's shallow opinion, if His Majesty really can't decide on a candidate, the old minister is also willing to take the order to go south!"
Fold Congruan's words, it really said beautifully!
Liu Chengyou thought about it seriously, but he had to admit that this prince's consideration was reasonable: "It's because I didn't think about it!" ”
"Let's choose someone else, there are thousands of Han generals, and it's not difficult to send a brave general!" Liu Chengyou said.
"The south is not suitable, I wonder if the prince is willing to go to the northwest?"
Hearing this, he was a little curious: "What did Your Majesty send?" ”
"Gyeongju assassin Guo Yanqin is greedy, wantonly intrudes on the miscellaneous Hu in the state, in order to ask for bribes, forces the pheasant tribe in the territory, plunders the merchants, and messes up our western region. Guo Yanqin, I have issued an edict to take him back to Beijing to ask for the crime, but the rebellion of Gyeongju has not stopped. It has been reported that the pheasant tribe has colluded with the cattle killing tribe in Ningzhou to join forces. Liu Chengyou briefly reported the situation.
"Guo Yanqin deserves to be killed, but these Hexi miscellaneous beards, who do not obey Wang Wei, despise the imperial court, and are unstable in rebellion, although they are scabies, they cannot let it go. Otherwise, the newly opened Hexi trade road will be blocked again! Liu Chengyou continued: "In the northwest, Shi Kuangyi of the Changyi Army is close to his side, but he is sick when he hears it, and it is inconvenient for me to make it difficult. The rest of the people are more restricted, and if you want to choose someone who is familiar with side affairs, good at horse warfare, and has the talent of command, think about it, or the public is more suitable! ”
"The old minister is willing to obey orders!" Zhe Congruan's answer was very simple.
Nodding with satisfaction, Liu Chengyou suddenly and solemnly admonished Congruan: "Wei, Qing, Ning, and the original prefectures are all sojourners, but if you want to eradicate them, it is not realistic, and it may cost you. This time, if you can soothe it, you will be appeased, and you will be given an official position, and those who are not afraid of evil should also be attacked by thunderous means. Gongzhen Fufu Prefecture for many years, here is measured, when let go and grasp! ”
"The old minister understands!"
"In addition, it is said that these Hexi miscellaneous captives, the tribe has many cattle and horses, and the Han can be scarce at a time......"
