Before meeting Xue Huairang, Liu Chengyou did have murderous intentions, and it was very serious. But after this conversation with Xue Huairang, Liu Chengyou calmed down. It can be seen that this Xue Jieshuai really doesn't feel that he has any sins, or he knows it in his heart, but the way of the world is like this, what others do, why can't he Xue Laoshuai do it......

The mood was extremely depressing, and in comparison, Xue Huairang's arrogance in front of him was not a big deal. After all, Liu Chengyou has seen a lot of such people and such things.

To kill, or not to kill, for Liu Chengyou, it is just a matter of thought. But the consequences are not for him not to seriously consider.

From Wang Shouen to Bai Zairong to now Xue Huairang, Liu Chengyou has been aggrieved all the way, and it is very uncomfortable, this time he really wants to kill this Xue Huai to kill the crooked atmosphere hovering in this land.

However, Wang Shouen can make it "violently killed", and Bai Zairong can be easily degraded, but it is precisely Xue Huairang who really can't be killed casually, especially with such a bright knife.

Liu Chengyou, whose mentality has stabilized, is almost not swayed by emotions. Thinking about it carefully, this guy mentioned several times that he was appointed by Liu Zhiyuan, and I have to say that this guy directly presented the table to Tokyo, which was definitely a good move. No matter what the reason, if Liu Chengyou kills him without authorization, then he is slapping him in the face, even if it is his own son and slapping the emperor's face, can it still be beneficial?

is good at killing festivals, even if it is Liu Chengyou, the prince who is "in the middle of the day", it is not so easy to take responsibility. Not to mention, with the current trend of public opinion in the Tokyo court that is not conducive to Liu Chengyou.

Of course, more importantly, the "Du Chongwei" he mentioned made Liu Chengyou vigilant. Du Chongwei is not just "Du Chongwei", he represents the Central Plains, Hebei, and those in the Guannai who are newly attached to the Liu family or the festival towns appointed by Yelu Deguang before.

Liu Zhiyuan changed the name of the country and granted amnesty to the world. There is a saying in the edict: All Khitan except for the festival envoys, down to the generals, each post will not be changed.

This is obviously a reassuring move to stabilize the local powerhouses. It's only been more than half a month, if Liu Chengyou kills a knot, what will those people think of this matter, it will definitely have the effect of "setting an example to the monkey", but it is just vigilance and jealousy. Everyone belongs to the same local festival, your Liu family has not yet sat down, so you dare to do this, and when your position is secure, then you can pay it back?

Especially Du Chongwei, the Liao Han general, this person is the most responsible and has the worst reputation, but Zhuzhen Jiedu is also the strongest with this person's strength. Liu Chengyou has heard of the actions of this person in Yedu to complete the army through the city defense of Wuxi, and he is sensitive to it now. Looking at the reaction of the imperial court, Liu Zhiyuan also adopted a gentle appeasement policy towards Du Chongwei.

If it was because Liu Chengyou killed Xue Huairang, causing Du Chongwei to deviate from the Han Dynasty and even rebel, then the matter would be serious. The Central Plains has been plowed by the Khitans, the population has plummeted, and the economy has declined, but the Weibo region is relatively intact, and the population tax does not account for half of the country's Thailand, but there are always three or four percent. If Wei Bo is in chaos, the Liu family will definitely not be able to stabilize.

However, even if Du Chongwei rebelled, although the problem was serious, it was not a mortal threat to the nascent Han Dynasty. Since the Liang Dynasty, the dynasty has changed, and it is the norm for Jiezhen to rebel against the central government. If the Du clan is opposed, it can be like the original Jin ancestor Shi Jingjiao Ping Fan Yanguang, send the army to destroy it, the Khitans have all driven away, and are you afraid of Du Chongwei, who is completely lost?

But for Liu Chengyou, if he caused Wei Bo's rebellion, if this hat was buttoned on his head, it would not be worth it in any way!

As for whether Du Chongwei will rebel, Liu Chengyou can't be sure at the moment, but through discussions with Wei, Guo and others, the possibility of that rebellion is extremely high. If the court doesn't exert pressure, it's fine, but if it puts pressure, such as asking him to move the nest, it will be the opposite.

Du Chongwei is just a typical part of the Zhuzhen Festival, which is a unique section in the universality, and it is easy to affect other festivals. For example, Du Chongwei's "good brother" Li Shouzhen, the envoy of the Tianping Army, and even Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing.

To a certain extent, Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing are on the position of Du Chongwei, don't look at these two marshals who were heroes against the Khitan back then, after Yelu Deguang entered Bian, they surrendered very simply, and went to Bianjing to meet in person......

Killing a Xue Huairang is so troublesome. In other words, it is so troublesome to kill a local real power moderation.

However, now that Liu Chengyou has achieved this, how can there be any reason to give up halfway? It's just that things can continue to be done, and sin can continue to be asked, but you can't do it as you first thought, and you have to leave some leeway.

Liu Chengyou's room for thought only meant to leave Xue Huai with his life.

With his mind in his mind, Liu Chengyou directly ordered: "After controlling Longgang, copy all the wealth and goods collected by Xue Huairang to supplement the treasury for military use." Xue Huai asked his subordinate generals, who were traitors and criminals, and who were rampant lawbreakers, carefully screened, and dealt with severely according to the law! Well...... Let Tao Gu be in charge of this. ”

"Yes." Wei Renpu was a little surprised, but he still reacted very quickly, and then asked: "Then, what about Xue Huairang?" ”

"What do you think?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"Declare his guilt to show His Highness's public will, take his position, and expel him from Xingzhou!" Wei Renpu shared his thoughts.

Liu Chengyou thought for a moment and turned his head to look at him. Facing Liu Chengyou's gaze, Wei Renpu said softly: "The matter has come to this point, deal with Xue Huairang, His Royal Highness may lose the heart of the world, but he can also win the popularity and hearts of the people." ”

Liu Chengyou understood in his heart that next, he should devote some energy to promoting his second prince.

"Let's do it!" Liu Chengyou clapped.

The matter of Xingzhou was dealt with very quickly, and Xue Huairang's old department in Longgang City, in the face of the Longqi elite, failed to turn up the waves at all and was easily controlled. Guo Rong and Xiang Xun identified those who had done too much evil among their subordinates, and announced them in the city, counting their crimes in detail, and beheading them in the city.

Tao Gu took people and copied the Xue Mansion, the search ability of these martial artists is really strong enough, and there are really a lot of money, grain, utensils, and silks, and it took half a day to check it clearly. Obviously, not only what Xue Huairang gained during his tenure in Xingzhou, but it is estimated that half of his life was intercepted by Liu Chengyou......

When Xue Huairang heard this, he cried and grabbed the ground, and he was in pain. probably also noticed that Liu Chengyou had no intention of killing him, and kept shouting in the detention place to disagree. Obviously, Liu Chengyou's hand caused him a critical hit, and the pain was extremely great. For this hob-like existence, apart from physically eliminating it, Liu Chengyou really didn't have much to do for a while. Out of sight is clear, returned his family to Xue Huairang, and sent troops to "invite" his family out of Xingzhou.

It stands to reason that Liu Chengyou expelled the scourge of Xue Huairang, dealt with those evil officials and tyrannical pawns, and abolished those chaotic governments, and the people of Xingzhou should feel happy. However, no, the reaction was not strong.

Liu Chengyou was surprised and asked an old man with a lot of prestige in the city, and he replied: "I drove away Xue Jiedu today, I don't know who will come tomorrow?" ”

The simple answer made Liu Chengyou very touched, but in the face of the old man, Liu Chengyou found that he couldn't give him a positive reply.

When he left Longgang, Liu Chengyou was thinking about things and felt a little depressed.

The result of the handling of the Xingzhou incident seems to be like that on the surface, but in fact, the state of the state administration and the living environment of the people has not improved much. This was originally Liu Chengyou's temporary intention, even if he dealt with Xue Huairang and these people, it was not a thorough investigation, and there was residual harm. For example, Liu Chengyou, who was appointed by Xue Huairang as a county and town official, did not spend energy to deal with it.

One, there is no time. The two of them, governing one Xingzhou, what are the benefits in the world. Besides, as long as he changes the degree of moderation, or takes up a new state official, and repeats Xue's evil government, what Liu Chengyou does at this time will be useless, and it will only cure the symptoms but not the root cause.

This is not a problem of Xingzhou, nor is it a problem of Xue Huairang, it is the country that is sick, and the world is bad, but it is not easy to change a country. Especially the person at the helm, it's not him, why bother.

In fact, what Liu Chengyou has never wanted to admit is that he engaged in Xue Huairang in Xingzhou, and it is one thing to relieve the people from hanging upside down, and he still has a little idea of becoming famous, of course, he wants to vent his emotions more.

He has been too depressed all the way, and coupled with his already somewhat restrained and autistic character, he is very suffocated in his heart, and he has an urge to destroy the world. It's not even as "complicated" as Wei Renpu and Guo Rong's brains, it's so simple, and then it was bumped into by Xue Huairang. It can be said that this Xue Laoshuai is a little unlucky.

When passing through Zhaozhou, Liu Chengyou was warmly welcomed by Yi Quanzhang, the envoy of the regimental training, and some of them were flattering and flattering, and they also expressed their sincerity. and told Liu Chengyou the news that Xue Huairang took his family and a part of Hu from the south to Tokyo Daliang.

This Yi Quanzhang is courteous to Liu Chengyou's side, and naturally it is not for nothing. This person is Liu Zhiyuan's old department, originally Hedong Jiedu subordinate Shizhou Thorn History, Liu Zhiyuan out of Taiyuan, south to the Central Plains, Hedong carried out a military and political official adjustment, consolidate the nest at the same time, but also seal the Hedong officials in the world, in order to spread influence and enhance the control of the Tianxia Prefecture.

This Yi Quanzhang was appointed as the training envoy of the Zhaozhou regiment, and he was not in office for a long time, and he had a matter of Xue Huai. Xue Huai asked Fang to go north to occupy Xingzhou, and he took Liu Zhiyuan's appointment to Yongnian, the state city.

At that time, the battle of Luancheng shocked the world, and the general trend had turned to the Liu family, Yi Quanzhang was able to easily drive away Xue Huairang's remaining subordinates, and obtained the power of governance and military power. Then he formed a bond with Xue Huairang.

Xue later asked for an envoy from Liu Zhiyuan for the Anguo Army, and it was supposed to govern the three states of Xing, Wei, and Ci, but he couldn't control Yi Quanzhang at all. There is always a relative who is estranged from others, as an old subordinate who follows the Son of Heaven, Yi Quanzhang is full of confidence when facing Xue Huairang, and the time is not long, but the two are fighting very hard under the signboard of the Anguo Army.

This time, Xue Huairang was governed by Liu Chengyou, and Yi Quanzhang was naturally happy. set up a table for a banquet to welcome Liu Chengyou, of course, Liu Chengyou only eats vegetables and does not drink. Yi Quanzhang was laughing with him, flattering him constantly, and praised Liu Chengyou for expelling Xue Huairang for removing a scourge for the people of Xingzhou. But seeing that Liu Chengyou's face never changed, he still couldn't hold back Daoming's appeal.

aimed at the position of the envoy of the Anguo Army, and his ambition is not small. Of course, in Yi Quanzhang's opinion, Xue Huai let such an old man who had shit luck get up at the opportunity, why can't he, an old minister of the emperor.

"The location of a town's festival, I said that I don't want to count, then the official family and the court ministers will discuss and decide." Squinting slightly, Liu Chengyou said to Yi Quanzhang.

Yi Quanzhang has a characteristic, his nostrils are very large, and when he heard Liu Chengyou's words, his nose moved twice excitedly, and then two black holes appeared. Still laughing: "Your Highness is too humble, the Han world, half of it is your credit." With your present prestige, you are the pillar of the country, and Your Majesty must rely on it very ......"

"Huh!" Liu Chengyou raised his hand to stop his words: "It's not good to talk nonsense about such things." The Han Dynasty was laid down by His Majesty and the soldiers! ”

Hearing this, Yi Quanzhang hurriedly nodded: "The lower official is speechless!" Xia Guan understands! ”

Glancing at Yi Quanzhang, Liu Chengyou silently gave him a "×" in his heart. In order to please Liu Chengyou's promotion, he really dares to say anything, but his brain is really not a smart person.

gave an "ambiguous" answer in his mouth: "Yi Gong is an old minister of the Son of Heaven, a confidant, and now that the country is settled, there is still instability in the four realms, and there are troubles from time to time, and it is necessary to reuse it to guard the Quartet." Xingzhou matter, after arriving in Tokyo, I will report to Your Majesty. ”

Yi Quanzhang obviously couldn't hear anything else, and immediately smiled, and poured himself a drink: "Your Highness Xie!" ”

After a slight pause, Liu Chengyou looked at Yi Quanzhang: "I have some questions and want to consult Yi Gong." ”

Yi Quanzhang was a little surprised, but quickly nodded his hand: "Your Highness, please speak."

"Zhaozhou borders Guangjin Mansion, and it is only a hundred miles away from Yedu, what is the situation on Du Chongwei's side now?"

Hearing Liu Chengyou say this, Yi Quanzhang looked like he was in spirit, and his nostrils subconsciously opened, as if something was about to squirt out. Seeing his reaction, Liu Chengyou pricked up his ears.

"Your Highness, Na Du Chongwei has tens of thousands of people at the moment, and he is still recruiting troops and horses in Weibo, and collecting grain and grass. Although he is a minister, he is still self-contained. It is reported that there are now more than 50,000 soldiers in the capital city, and the food during this period is enough for two years......"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's forehead suddenly condensed into a Sichuan shape, and the situation seemed to be even more serious than what he had heard before. However, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but put a question mark in his heart, Du Chongwei's strength is so strong at this time? If it's true, then this person is even more difficult to dismiss.

Liu Chengyou was still contemplating, Yi Quanzhang leaned down slightly towards Liu Chengyou, and whispered: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the imperial court gave me a secret order before, asking the lower officials to monitor Du Chongwei's movements. It seems that His Majesty is also very jealous of Yedu and wants to pull it out! ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou turned his head sharply to stare at him, startling Yi Quanzhang. After staying for a moment, Liu Chengyou solemnly reminded him: "How can you take out such a secret of a military aircraft casually!" ”

For a while, it made this Yi Quanzhang a little embarrassed. However, this person obviously doesn't look like he's listening......

After passing through Zhaozhou, Liu Chengyou finally accelerated the speed of going south, and when he arrived in Cizhou and passed through Fuyang City, he encountered a small episode.

Wang Jihong, the assassin of history, is the person who sold the master for glory and killed the benefactor Gao Tangying in order to seek wealth and nobility, and cheekily said, "My villain, if you don't take advantage of the convenience of profit, in order to seek wealth, you will not be able to get the ambition for the rest of your life".

When he heard that Liu Chengyou had passed Cizhou, he hid directly and went to the Phoenix Temple, an ancient temple in the county that has hundreds of years of history, to recite the scriptures, saying that he wanted to pray for the people who died in Xiangzhou. The timing was also coincidental......

sent someone to investigate and found out that this Wang Jihong heard about Xue Huairang's fate and was afraid. Consciously in Ren Cizhou, he was not much better than Xue Huairang, so he carried out a "self-exile", so as not to be dealt with by Liu Chengyou.

In this regard, Liu Chengyou was actually amused.
