The hour was still early, but the sky was already dark, and the howling wind beat at the door tirelessly, as if it was about to break through it. The further north I went, the more I felt that the weather was unbearable.

This second winter of Qianyou is indeed a little too cold. Liu Chengyou is also a relatively hardy person, but this time when he went north, he also felt that the cold was unbearable.

As the Son of Heaven, even though he has always advocated simplicity, he has enjoyed a lot of warmth measures, but even so, he feels cold. Pushing oneself and others, how difficult it is for those Qianshou Li Shu, who lack the means and materials to keep out the cold.

In this northern tour, Liu Chengyou not only patrolled the border and inspected the army, but also subdued the people's livelihood, comforted the affected states and counties, and surrendered Junze. In essence, this trip to the north is also a large-scale political show.

Considering the extremely cold climate, and then thinking of the northern tour, there are many mountains, forests, rivers and rivers to carry out closed policies, prohibiting people from hunting, when temporarily staying in Jizhou, Liu Chengyou descended a system, and clearly told Hebei Daozhou Prefecture and County to lift the ban on opening forests, let the people around the country cut down wood for heating, and let officials and military officials at all levels actively help poor and weak families.

Regardless of the effect, the benevolence and benevolence of the Son of Heaven must be spread, and the glorious image of the Emperor must be established. Liu Chengyou has done this kind of thing more than once, and he is very familiar with it.

However, compared to measuring the enthusiasm of the country with both feet and wheels, the cold and fierce wind in the north is nothing.

Inside, Liu Chengyou sat cross-legged on the couch, wrapped himself in a quilt, and stared blankly at a picture album on the small case on the couch. This is a military map, and a calm and cold gaze falls on the Yan land called Youzhou.

Obviously, it is the hinterland of Senan, bordering Hancheng, and the Xuanxuan Han flag is set up in the wall, but for the Liu Han court, it has always been empty and lonely in the north.

According to Liu Chengyou's original plan, the land of Youyan is a key defense to stop the Khitan incursion. But so far, the effect is there, but in Liu Chengyou's place, it is always a little unsteady.

Pointing his finger on the map, there was a little impulse, Liu Chengyou wanted to raise troops to the north and return the Youyan land that had been separated from China for more than ten years to the Han land. Why don't men take Wu Hook and collect the fourteen states of Guanshan, the ambition here is probably like this, although Liu Chengyou has always been deep, but he is not without any enthusiasm.

However, it was only that little impulse, and it was only a matter of reading it.

"Official, drink some hot soup!" Zhang Dejun held a small bowl of soup and walked to the front of the couch to serve.

Liu Chengyou glanced at it, the small porcelain bowl was filled with soup, steaming, delicious and fragrant to arouse people's appetite, but the appearance was different from the usual food in the Han Palace, so he couldn't help asking.

Zhang Dejun replied in a low voice: "This is the Hu soup made by the virtuous concubine herself, which is said to have the effect of driving away the cold and protecting the body." For this, the lady also burned her hands. ”

"How's the injury?" Smelling the aroma of hooked nose, Liu Chengyou was a little surprised by the skills of the lady, no wonder he didn't serve the soup in person, Wen Yan asked.

"The little one asked, and it's not a big deal." Zhang Dejun said.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou immediately raised his hand and instructed: "Go to the imperial doctor of the camp to take a look, prepare some ointment, and tell the lady that I will go to see her later!" ”

"Yes......"

Although it was a soup sent by the lady, it was also tasted before it entered Liu Chengyou's mouth. The taste of Fuzhou style is quite unique.

"Ministers and Wang Pu, see Your Majesty!" As a close minister, after layers of inspection, Wang Pufang came to the front of the king. The more north he went, the stronger the guards around Liu Chengyou became, which seemed to be the reason for the "false alarm" in Xingzhou that day.

Looking at the stack of official documents in Wang Pu's hand, Liu Chengyou said: "No courtesy!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Pu raised his hand and said expressionlessly: "These are some official documents that Yang Xiang dealt with last, and the instructions were thirteen, but they were not sent in time." ”

On the Northern Tour, Prime Minister Yang Wei's "sudden disappearance" has become a secret, but as a confidant of the Son of Heaven, Wang Pu still knows some of the reasons.

"What's there?" Liu Chengyou was a little interested and asked.

"The ministers have read it, and it is all the mundane affairs of the officials and the court." Wang Pu responded.

"Is there anything mundane above the temple?" Liu Chengyou immediately shook his head and asked.

Seeing this, Wang Pu's breath twitched, the corners of his mouth trembled bitterly, and he hurriedly asked: "The minister lost his words!" ”

Waving his hand, Liu Chengyou said, "I'll take a look!" ”

Liu Chengyou is one by one, flipping through it, and seeing it all at a glance. Compared with those important military and political affairs that involve major matters, these official documents can also be called "mundane matters".

Liu Chengyou's focus is, of course, on Yang Wei's instructions, and after nearly two years of emperor's career, his ability to smelt and govern has also made great progress.

From Liu Chengyou's point of view, Yang Wei's handling of these general affairs can indeed be called sophisticated, after all, from the local to the center, he is also a veteran of governance for many years. If you really want to find some faults, it can only be said that it is too harsh, harsh, and leaves no room for it, full of his Yang Xianggong's personal style.

In the dark eyes, thoughts flashed, and after pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou ordered: "These more than ten things will be disposed of according to Yang Wei's instructions, and will not be changed, and will be sent to Tokyo, and handled accordingly." Although it's a little late, it can be regarded as giving him an end! ”

Without waiting for Wang Pu to answer the order, Liu Chengyou took out one of them and added: "Regarding Zhang Yisu's violation of the law in Langzhong, it should be punished, but he should be punished for his first offense, and he will be punished for his first offense, but he does not need to leave the Beijing division and go to the border, degrade him in Beijing, and become a county magistrate!" ”

Wang Pu's eyes couldn't help but have some unexpected colors, and he had been waiting for the emperor for a long time, knowing that Liu Chengyou had always advocated the "legal system", and this was the first time he had said such favoritism from the mouth of the Son of Heaven.

However, considering Zhang Yisu's identity a little, Wang Pu can understand. The fall of Yang Wei is not as frivolous as in Xingzhou, and it will certainly cause an uproar, and the news has not yet been completely spread, but it must be that as long as it floats to Tokyo, the uproar will suddenly arise, and I am afraid that there will be the most violent turmoil on the temple since the Qianyou Dynasty.

Yang Wei and Wang Zhang, at the beginning of the founding of the country, were once the pillars of the imperial court. Yang Wei's side is down, Wang Zhang can't have a problem, and Zhang Yisu, as Wang Zhang's only son-in-law, has to give some face.

Noticing Wang Pu's expression, Liu Chengyou knew that he should have guessed his intentions. I didn't care, and seeing that he couldn't stay, he asked calmly, "What else is going on?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Pu shook his hand, took out another album, and presented it: "Chengde Festival makes Zhang Xiang play, Wen Yu drove north, and asked to come to Yongqing Face Saint!" ”

"This time, I recruited the envoys of several prefectures in the north to Yongqing, and I didn't name them, Zhang Yanwei is uneasy!" Liu Chengyou commented playfully.

didn't comment on the words of the Son of Heaven, Wang Pu just asked: "Your Majesty, how do you reply to Zhang Envoy's side?" ”

Liu Chengyou thought for a while and ordered: "Prepare a letter back to him, use more cordial words, and tell Zhang Yanwei that the end point of my northern tour is Hengzhou, and the weather is so cold, so he doesn't need to travel hundreds of miles to make a pilgrimage!" ”

"Yes!"
