Chapter 186: Xingzhou is over
Longgang City at night, after only a little martial law, quickly returned to normal, and the changes in it were very short, so short that the officials and people in the city were almost unnoticed. It is like a pool of water, swallowing up the stones that have fallen unintentionally, waving the water ripples, and then returning to calm, and the waves are not happy.
However, the military and political dignitaries in Longgang, as well as the central bureaucrats accompanying them, were somewhat aware of the abnormalities that occurred at night, especially from the results.
Yang Wei was taken down, the level of secrecy is very high, even though Liu Chengyou issued a gag order, but it is inevitable that there will be leaks, so from the next morning, Long Gang Xing is inside, there are rumors.
Li Tao, the accompanying minister, didn't understand the reason, and couldn't help but meet the side knocks and tentatively inquired about Liu Chengyou, but they were all exposed by Liu Chengyou lightly.
Even so, Li Tao was sure of one thing, Yang Wei had an accident, and he was shocked and overjoyed.
Speaking of Li Tao and Yang Wei, there is a grudge, and Li Tao is full of resentment against Yang Wei. At the beginning, Liu Zhiyuan entered Tokyo, and the initial formation of the Han Dynasty, and the financial power was entrusted to Yang, Wang, Su and other ministers, so that his power was blazing, especially Yang Wei.
Later, due to the weight of the ministers and the endless attacks, the political situation was unstable, and Liu Zhiyuan promoted former Jin ministers such as Li Tao and Dou Zhengu to serve as a check and balance.
However, the results were modest but not satisfactory. As far as Li Tao is concerned, in the past two or three years in the political hall, he has been a sad tear, and he has always been suppressed to death in the face of Yang Wei, who is strong and loves power.
Especially in the early days, in the center of Zaisuke, there was almost no room for him to play. Even, Yang Wei dared to scold and even reprimand in front of other ministers and subordinates, and rarely showed mercy.
Until now, it has been the winter of the second year of Qianyou, and this situation has not fundamentally changed.
Of course, after Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, under the suppression and weakening of the Son of Heaven, Yang Wei's dominance of the Han court family changed.
Although not as "shrewd" as Feng Dao, Li Tao also has a certain political vision, and he is keenly aware of the emperor's not ambiguous attitude towards Yang Wei. In the past two years, the banner of confrontation against Yang Wei has been decisively held up in the DPRK, and a group of people have been gathered, plus Dou Zhengu, Zhao Ying and other remnants of the previous dynasty to help, so that there is a momentum, and there is no longer a position in vain.
However, no matter how "motivated" Li Tao is, it is difficult to really overwhelm Yang Wei in the court. Not only is the Yuanchen group led by Yang Wei still there, but even Liu Chengyou's side is not allowed to allow the court of the Han Dynasty to be controlled by a former minister.
Although confined to that long-standing and deep-seated prejudice or misunderstanding, Liu Chengyou and Yang Wei looked at each other with disgust, but it did not prevent him from maintaining a clear mind, so as not to cross the line in order to suppress Yang Wei, the Han Dynasty, after all, was not established by Li Tao and other post-Jin relics.
Previously, seeing that Li, Dou, Zhao and other relict ministers formed a party and gained momentum, Liu Chengyou did not hesitate to curb it, and through Xu Zhou and his party, Dou Zhengu stayed in Xuzhou, and made it a de facto expulsion from Tokyo, and Fan Zhen, a confidant minister, took the throne.
It can be said that in the court, Yang Wei is the biggest political enemy and opponent in Li Tao's eyes, bent on bringing down, and confident, because in his opinion, he and the emperor are on the same position. If the king doubts the minister, the minister will die.
However, Yang Wei's fall from power still surprised Li Tao. It was too sudden, too mysterious, and even without his Li Xianggong's efforts, the emperor had already solved the problem.
Even so, it did not prevent Li Tao from being happy, and he was already secretly thinking about what to do next. As far as the Han temple is concerned, it can be described as a drastic change, and the development of the situation between the DPRK and China will certainly produce earth-shaking changes.
Compared with the planned itinerary of the Northern Tour, Liu Chengyou stayed in Xingzhou for one more day, and only stayed for one more day, and the unexpected turmoil in Longgang was not worth Liu Chengyou's footsteps to stop for too long.
However, before continuing to go north, some of Liu Chengyou's arrangements for Xingzhou are very revealing. Liu Chengyun, the king of Julu County, was appointed as the envoy of the Liberation Anguo Army, added the rank of servant, and was transferred back to Tokyo to be promoted to Zhengqing to manage the affairs of the clan for Liu Chengyou.
This is basically an idle job. Although the clan system of the Han Dynasty follows the old system, it is actually blank. One is from Liu Zhiyuan to Liu Chengyou, and he has no time to take care of it; The two are the Liu Han clan, and the people are really thin, just three or two big cats and kittens.
For three generations, just like other official positions, they have no name and no power. Zong Zhengqing has also become a fictitious position to reward meritorious heroes, but Liu Chengyou's transfer of Liu Chengyun this time is to return the real power, and there is the idea of letting him carry the burden of managing the Han clan.
For a long time, suffering from the complexity and redundancy of the dynasty's official system, Liu Chengyou had the intention to rectify the reform, but the situation was not peaceful, and the state affairs were chaotic, so he could not free up his hands. Therefore, it can only be done according to the time and events, and for the time being, specific problems can be analyzed and implemented. In this way, the Goshidai system was rebuilt, and so is the current clan.
Regarding the attitude of the Han bureaucracy, Liu Chengyou still respects the integration of official positions, which is worthy of the name. Probably because of the redundant official problem in the Song Dynasty in his previous life, he was too impressed.
Regarding the Son of Heaven's dismissal, Liu Chengyun did not have any dissenting voices, but behaved very deferentially and actively cooperated.
Although he is not a particularly smart person, he still has a basic sense of crisis, and the earth-shattering cold night secret letter really shocked him. Even if he took the initiative to complain to the Son of Heaven and pluck himself out of it, Liu Chengyun was still worried in his heart, there was nothing more sensitive than rebellion and rebellion in military, political and state affairs. And the emperor is really not a good one to serve in Liu Chengyun's heart.
did not go directly to Tokyo, but was taken by Liu Chengyou and drove north to patrol the border. Liu Chengyou has not dealt with the location of the Anguo Army's Jiedu for the time being, but with his urine, he will probably choose to abolish the Jiedu, establish Zhizhou, and directly incorporate it into the temporary jurisdiction system of the central government.
Although the successive wars and disasters have caused great damage to Hebei and seriously weakened the strength and potential of the local government, on the other hand, the confidence in the face of the central government is also weakening. It was a critical period for the imperial court to establish its authority, which was conducive to the imperial court's control and regulation of Hebei.
As for Xing Wei's military, Liu Chengyou thought about it for a long time and decided to take Gao Huaide as the commander of the Xingzhou Mabu Army, responsible for rectifying the Xing army, calming the territory, and maintaining law and order, so as to wait for the imperial court to send new officials in charge. Although the attitude of separating the military and the government is ambiguous, the meaning is there, and we do not say it, but do it.
For Gao Huaide's appointment, there are close ministers who follow the driver, saying that the king of Linqing, Gao Xing, Zhou Shou Yedu, has been in Wei Bo, if Gao Huaide Xing Wei is appointed to the military, the father and son will occupy four states, I am afraid that it will be powerful.
In this regard, Liu Chengyou did not respond, but only rewarded Jinyan's courtiers with some money and property to reward him for his loyalty. What His Majesty could think of, how could Liu Chengyou not think about it, but if nothing else, Elder Gao Linggong would soon return to the court to retire.
After passing through Xingzhou, it was probably because the weather was getting colder and colder, and the speed of the Northern Tour was significantly accelerated, but I still did those things, to observe the hometown, comfort the officials and the people, and review the army.
Yang Wei was suddenly gone, but in the camp, it was as usual, at least on the surface. On the way to the north, Prime Minister Li Tao took over Yang Wei's previous functions and stood at the front desk to show his face......
