"Since I inherited the great cause, I have been burdened with a thousand heavy burdens, thinking that the world is collapsing, the country is poor and the people are weak, and I have been worried all night, focusing on the rich country and the strong army. Bingguo for five years, not humble to say, barely benefited, a little success! Walking between the palace rooms with his hands behind his back, Liu Chengyou's tone was full of sighs.

Stop, stand in the wind, leaving Li Shaoyou with a lonely back, Liu Chengyou said: "However, unconsciously, I found that there are more capable ministers in the court, more loyal and brave generals, but there are fewer and fewer people around you who can put their hearts in their hearts!" ”

"Your Majesty reigns over the world, like the rising sun, shining brightly, for the courtiers, can only bow down to the Danqi, dare not look up......" In the back, listening to the eyes of the Son of Heaven to reveal his heart, he responded respectfully.

"Look!" Liu Chengyou laughed, turned around, and looked at Li Shaoyou: "Your mouth, you are getting better and better at talking!" Everyone loves to hear good words, and I am no exception, I am really afraid that one day, I will be lost in the reputation of your ministers. ”

Li Shaoyou smiled lightly: "The minister is from the bottom of his heart, tell the truth!" ”

"That's it!" Liu Chengyou glanced at Li Shaoyou and asked: "Wu Desi is responsible and powerful, if you step down, who can succeed you?" ”

Hearing this, the emperor was overjoyed, apparently agreeing to his request. Li Shaoyou asked: "Those who can be in this position are smart, capable, and loyal, all of which are indispensable, and there is a candidate in Your Majesty's heart?" ”

"I'm asking for your ideas!" Liu Chengyou turned around and stared at Li Shaoyou.

Facing the emperor's gaze and feeling his serious tone, Li Shaoyou didn't dare to play Tai Chi anymore, thought about it seriously, and said, "How is the deputy envoy Wang Jingchong?" ”

Liu Chengyou said: "Haven't you and him always been at odds and have frequent disputes? ”

"How can personal grievances be greater than righteousness!" Li Shaoyou said calmly: "Wang Jing is good at managing affairs, has outstanding courage, and has always been single-minded in doing things for His Majesty. Although the minister did not like his style of acting, he could not deny his merits.

In terms of qualifications and ability, they can be in their positions, and they are familiar with the affairs, if they are followed, they can ensure that the Wude Division runs up and down and will not be affected! ”

"That's what you said!" Liu Chengyou raised his hand and said, "Then let Wang Jing Chongdian Wudesi!" ”

"But I won't, I'll let you go away so easily!" After speaking, the corners of Liu Chengyou's mouth curled slightly, and said: "I will promote you to the title of Duke of Shouguo, increase the number of households by 300, and add the prince and young master." In addition, I will give you a month's leave, and then go to Hengzhou, and take it seriously! ”

In today's Han Dynasty, there is still a bit of a flood of celebrities, but the number of princes is not much.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Shaoyou immediately bowed down and thanked him: "But, over there in Hengzhou, isn't it Chengde Jiedu who made Zhang Zhijun sit in charge?" ”

"Zhang Yanwei has been on the table, asked to resign, and returned to Tokyo for recuperation!" Liu Chengyou said lightly.

Zhang Yanwei, the envoy of the Chengde Festival, is a talent in the middle and lower levels, has no ability to manage things, and has the ability to execute the army. is such a mediocre person, but Liu Chengyou handed over the important town of Chengde to him, and he stayed for more than five years, why, only because of this obedience.

In Fang Town, there was no evil behavior or overstepping the rules. Moreover, he knows how to delegate power, and does not take care of everything, the commander of the border army obeys the privy council order, and the civil administration and criminal name are entrusted to Li Gu.

But even then, it is impossible to keep it in the north. Of course, Zhang Yanwei did not take the initiative to go to the table, and received a hint from the emperor, which can be regarded as a test of whether his attitude towards the Son of Heaven and the court is still the same after many years, and as a result, Liu Chengyou was not disappointed.

As for Li Gu, while he was in charge of the political affairs of Heng, Hebei, Shenzhen, and Zhao, he was also responsible for the logistics supply of the entire border army in central Hebei, and he had great power.

This public has the talent of the prime minister, and he did not transfer it to the central government, but he hoped to use his political talents in the locality, and Liu Chengyou intended to increase the burden on his body and make him the governor of Hebei. As long as the matter in Hedong is completed, the rectification and reform of Hebei's military and political affairs will also be carried out.

"The minister has no experience in being a politician and shepherding the people." Li Shaoyou asked another question.

"Why are you so lazy?" Liu Chengyou immediately said: "After taking office, you can do political affairs according to the system, persuade farmers to teach mulberry, educate the people, and do no harm!" ”

The emperor said so, and Li Shaoyou could only respond honestly: "The minister is edicted!" ”

"It's been a hard journey, let's go home and rest!"

"Yes, the minister is retiring!"

Li Shaoyou slowly retreated, his steps seemed a little cautious, and Liu Chengyou stood still, looking at his back. He has always had the habit of examining his courtiers from behind, and some people can't see any flaws in the front, and they may be able to detect some clues from the back.

Thinking of Fang Cai's heartfelt eyes on Li Shaoyou, Liu Chengyou smiled slightly, he is the emperor, he is the sun and the moon in his hands, he has the power of life and death in his hands. Although he often said that he was heartfelt and drained, he never needed to be honest with others, especially foreign ministers.

For Li Shaoyou's invitation, Liu Chengyou was both emotional and unexpected, which was a very obvious strategy for retreating bravely and protecting himself. However, this cousin's performance still impresses Liu Chengyou, such a person is often difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. The previous one who gave Liu Chengyou this feeling was Guo Wei. However, whether it is loyalty or treachery still depends on time to test.

"I hope that you and I can start and finish well!" Gently exhaling, Liu Chengyou sighed.

"Official, it's windy, let's go back to the palace!" After thinking about it, Zhang Dejun suggested in a low voice.

When he returned to the palace, Liu Chengyou suddenly asked Zhang Dejun: "Zhang Dejun, did Li Shaoyou give you any gifts?" ”

Hearing this question, Zhang Dejun couldn't help but shudder twice, lowered his eyebrows and arched his hand: "I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, only the little adoptive father received a little gift money on his birthday, but it was just a human exchange, and there was nothing else!" ”

"Speaking of which, you've been with me for a long time!" Liu Chengyou nodded: "All along, there has been no reward, I heard that your father still lives in an old house in Nancheng." In this way, I will give you a house to serve your father. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Dejun was a little excited, bowed to the ground, and his tone was choked.

"What are you crying about?" Liu Chengyou looked down at him.

Zhang Dejun really squeezed out a lot of tears and said: "Waiting for Your Majesty, it is a small previous life to accumulate blessings and virtues, so there is such a blessing." Your Majesty cares so much, so that the little heart is grateful, overflowing with words! ”

"Get up!" Flicking his sleeves, Liu Chengyou walked first.

After that, Zhang Dejun got up, wiped two handfuls of tears, and quickly followed.

Li Shaoyou walked out of the palace slowly, in a cold sweat on his back, and his heart palpitated. Judging from the situation that the emperor had just dealt with, he felt more and more that his resignation was right, the emperor's cousin was becoming more and more difficult to serve, and the king's heart was unpredictable, and if it continued for a long time, it would be difficult to die well.

When he returned to his mansion, the night was getting deeper, and Li Shaoyou did not have time to rest, so he ordered to go down and gather all the concubines in his county mansion together. There are more than 30 people in Yingying Yanyan, who can be favored by him, beauty, figure, and talent, there is always something to be desired.

Seeing this group of beauties, dressed in gorgeous costumes and wearing gold and silver, looking at him, there was a little heat in their eyes. To tell the truth, the competitive pressure in the back house of the county mansion is much greater than that in the Han Palace.

Staring at this beautiful concubine, Li Shaoyou sighed and said, "If you have children, go back to your room first!" ”

Hearing this, he immediately retreated nine people, Li Shaoyou got up, looked at the remaining more than 20 people, and picked four more women that he liked on weekdays.

His performance was already very unusual, and many of the remaining women showed nervous emotions.

Finally, Li Shaoyou said: "Although I am reluctant, let's get together and disperse." I'm alone, after all, I don't have the skills, and if I stay with you again, I won't be able to take care of you, and I will delay your good years in vain.

From now on, you are all free. Everyone, withdraw a hundred taels of silver from the account room, go home from the house, find a good family and a good man to marry, and live a good life from then on, and this relationship between me and me is not in vain. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties, you can also go to the house, and I will not hesitate to help where I can help! ”

Li Shaoyou's words fell, and the twenty or so women present looked at each other in amazement. Where did you think that Li Shaoyou actually had this kind of thought.

Immediately, there was a concubine who cried and cried: "Lang Jun, don't you want us?" ”

A cry seemed to be contagious, and soon, half of the women had tears in their eyes, and the appearance of crying was pitiful. Of course, there are also people with happy faces, and among the high gates, there are always prisoner birds who yearn for freedom.

"I don't want you, it's just that fate is over, don't force it!" Li Shaoyou hardened his heart and waved his hand: "That's it!" ”
