Regarding Liu Chengyou's pro-conscription suggestion, Liu Zhiyuan hadn't spoken yet, and Yang Wei couldn't help but advise: "Du Chongwei is rampant again, but he is just a mound dog, with a large general leading the division to capture, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and His Majesty He Lao will go in person." Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and when you live in the country, you should manage yin and yang, and set people's hearts. ”

Listening to Yang Wei's words, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but get bored in his heart, if it was a peaceful era, it would be fine, but now in this world, the emperor on horseback is afraid of what kind of soldiers are in danger. Liu Zhiyuan entered Kaifeng, all the way to the road, did not show the virtue, did not show the prestige, personally conquered Du Chongwei, just took the opportunity to power the world, deter dissidents.

As for the risk of pro-conquest, after all, success or failure is related to the majesty of the emperor, and in serious cases, it will even completely affect the national fortunes and the stability of the country, but with the strength of the current imperial court, it has reached this point, if Du Chongwei cannot be won, then this Han will not be qualified to stand in the Central Plains.

Of course, Liu Chengyou naturally has careful thoughts. If Liu Zhiyuan goes on the expedition in person, he will ask him to accompany him, and the generals will be outside, and there will be a lot of space for him to move.

However, Liu Chengyou is obviously wishful thinking. Liu Zhiyuan did not express his opinion directly, but remained quiet, and asked for the opinions of others in an unpredictable tone.

At this point, including Su Fengji, they all said that the emperor should not be taken lightly. Only Guo Wei only conservatively expressed his support for Liu Chengyou, and suggested that the advance soldiers and horses should be sent to discuss it to see what the result was.

The next discussion avoided the topic of "pro-conquest" so blandly, and the monarchs and ministers discussed the choice of the coach, this is not suitable, that is not suitable, and the discussion is in full swing. However, in this warm atmosphere, Liu Chengyou only has one feeling that is the most profound: this is not his court!

Without smiling, he walked into the Privy Council with his front foot, and Guo Wei followed with his back foot: "Your Highness!" ”

"Guo Gong." Liu Chengyou nodded at him and said hello.

As the two entered, several subordinate officials couldn't help but raise their eyes and quickly lowered their heads. In the Privy Council, including Wei Renpu, there are more than a dozen subordinate officials, each of whom does their own work and performs their duties.

If it is said that the government offices of the Han Dynasty are the most decent and orderly, only the Privy Council. The three bigwigs, from Yang Wei, Guo Wei to Liu Chengyou, are either strong, prudent, or solemn, with the three of them suppressed, and the people below dare not be negligent and slack off.

led Guo Wei to his usual office position, and retired the subordinates who served tea diligently. Guo Wei asked, "You seem to be in a bad mood?" ”

Liu Chengyou shook his head: "I can't talk about it." ”

"Are you worried about the arrangements of the imperial court?"

"I can't talk about it."

Seeing Liu Chengyou's performance, Guo Wei said to himself: "The high envoy Junwei is famous, his prestige is grand, he has been fighting horses for many years, with him leading the army and deploying Yedu, Du Chongwei must not be an opponent." Although Wei Bobing was strong, he was limited by the lack of commander-in-chief, and Du Chongwei had long been unpopular, and using the local government to confront the central government had no great righteousness, and was even more contrary to the needs of the people. If you are strong in the middle, it is not enough. ”

"Guo Gong's words are reasonable!" Liu Chengyou agreed with Guo Wei's statement, but no matter how plain his expression was, the mood was always lingering between his eyebrows.

Fang Cai's palace discussion, after several considerations, made a decision, if the war starts, it will be the school Taishi, the Zhongshu Ling, the Shou Taifu, and Ye Du stay in Gao Xingzhou as the main commander, and ask for it.

Gao Xingzhou, who wrote the early history of the "Five Dynasties", is probably mentioned. Famous Marshal Zhiying, this is another famous general who has been active in the military and political arena since the end of the Tang Dynasty, first Shi Jiyan, and then Tang Jin, who can fight well, destroy the country and rebel, fight thieves and quell rebellions, fight against Khitan, and fight in the troubled times of the tired dynasty to play a prestige. In addition, he also has a more famous son, Gao Huaide, the "famous general of the Song Dynasty".

In terms of background, qualifications, and fame, Liu Zhiyuan is actually weaker than Gao Xingzhou. If Liu Zhiyuan really dares to worship him as the commander in chief and rebel against the soldiers, then this amount is not small. Of course, in Liu Chengyou's point of view, Gao Xingzhou is the commander, and it is not indispensable, and his ability and prestige are enough to control the army.

Among the attached Fang towns, Gao Xingzhou is considered to be the more obedient one. The most important thing is that Gao Xingzhou is over the age of six, and at this age, he basically won't have any excessive ambitions, at most he will plan for future generations and seek shelter.

However, everything is afraid of a but. While planning to use Gao Xingzhou, Liu Zhiyuan also wanted to use Liu Chengyou's uncle, Murong Yanchao as his deputy in the Zhenning Army, that is, to install a prison army.

Such an arrangement, from Liu Chengyou's heart, is not too optimistic. What kind of virtue his uncle was, he had already seen it when he was in Hakuba, and although he didn't get along for a long time, he had a bad impression.

However, Liu Chengyou did not intend to talk to Guo Wei about these ideas. Diverging the topic lightly, Liu Chengyou sighed and said, "What the result is, it still needs time to test." However, it has been agreed today that the Privy Council is going to be busy again......"

Guo Wei nodded, his gaze wandered, his body leaned slightly towards Liu Chengyou, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, about the report of Mozhou, hmm-"

Guo Wei showed a little hesitation, and when Liu Chengyou saw this, he said lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Guo Wei had some doubts in his eyes, and continued to lower his voice: "Xia Guan just thinks it's a little strange." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou turned his head and looked at Guo Wei. The two men looked at each other, their eyes communicating in the air......

The efficiency of Hanting's work has obviously improved a lot, perhaps because it involves military affairs, or because of special affairs. From the city of Tokyo, the envoys were counted, and in the afternoon of the same day, the Sandu head army moved north, went straight to the Yellow River, and then marched east overnight. And subsequently, the Wujie Army was also ordered to prepare for the pullout. Counting the early arrangement, for Du Chongwei, the forbidden army and the state town soldiers, the imperial court has mobilized more than 60,000 Ma Bu troops, which can be regarded as paying special attention.

At the same time, a large amount of war materials were also transported from Tokyo to Yedu, transported by boat, and traveled into the big river through the Bianshui. In fact, the distance between Tokyo and Yedu is not too far, and there is water transportation support, and if it cooperates with the battle, the real need to mobilize the people's power is not much.

In addition to the Xingjie Army that was transferred to the north in the early stage, the rest of the soldiers and horses used this time were basically reorganized "miscellaneous soldiers" to deal with Du Chongwei. Han Ting's arrangement, thinking about it deeply, is a bit of a "conspiracy".

On the Yedu side, the imperial court envoy handed the "key" letter to Du Chongwei, and the result was self-evident, he was directly anxious, and shouted angrily, "The court bullied me too much", and then the banner was displayed and rebelled. He did not kill the envoy, but let him return to the court, and replied to the imperial court, threatening to enter Tokyo sooner or later.

The messenger who had the heart of death and survived did not notice that when he saw the letter, Du Chongwei's expression changed, stunned, mocking, angry, and resolute.

As Tokyo and Yedu completely tore their skins, the beginning of the war against Britain shrouded the sky over both sides of the Yellow River, and the eyes of the people of the world converged on Wei Bo's side.

Rebellion - counterinsurgency is the main theme of this era, and it is the "correct" way to open the relationship between the central and local governments at the beginning of the founding of the country. If you don't come to this time, why does the Liu family sit firmly in the Central Plains, and how many catties and taels the Liu Han Dynasty has, it depends on how the battle of "Seeking Du" is fought. If it can be extinguished quickly, then everything is easy to say, otherwise, some will suffer.

In August and autumn, on both sides of the Bianhe River, the chrysanthemum is in full bloom, and the osmanthus fragrance in the air is permeated into the Kaifeng city wall, bringing a touch of softness to the people of Tokyo.

On the ferry, there were more than ten boats, sailing north, and the flags erected and the forbidden troops on the ships revealed that they were public ships. In addition to food and ordnance, the ships were loaded with a batch of newly made military supplies such as clothing, shoes and socks, and rain gear.

Since the beginning of the "war to fight Du", in addition to the official workshops, all kinds of large and small workshops in Tokyo have started construction, but under the control of the government, and even "ordered", they rushed to produce military supplies and sell them to the government. Moreover, the price is pushed very low, and there is not much profit.

It's just that the government is regulating and controlling, even if the enthusiasm is not high, it does not dare to disobey, otherwise, its own soldiers and officials will come to the door and forcibly levy. Of course, if you cooperate, you will be fine, and you may not make much, but there will always be some gains.

These things were naturally made by Wang Zhang, the envoy of the three divisions, and when he first heard about it, Liu Chengyou felt that his accumulation was too harsh. However, after taking a deeper look, Liu Chengyou didn't express any opinions, of course, it won't have much effect, since there is a war, everything has to be conceded for the war, and the imperial court has not temporarily raised taxes, which is already extraordinarily generous.

Wang Zhang was not easy, and in order to support Wei Bo's war, he also racked his brains. Even in various provinces, the use of the treasury is consumed like flowing water, and it is really a large number of people who suffer from wars.

On the ferry, several porters who had just finished unloading a shipload gathered together to rest. One of them looked at the flotilla heading northwest from the shore and said, "This is the eleventh batch. ”

"I heard that the war in Guangjin Mansion is not going well, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have not yet taken Yedu." The other said, in a whisper.

"How the court is fighting, what does it matter to me, as long as we don't shorten our wages. I just hope that today's rice noodles will not rise again. A man with a swarthy face said in an urn voice.

A thin little man on the opposite side shook his head: "With the presence of the two highnesses King Wei and King Zhou, it shouldn't be like this." ”

It is normal for goods to rise when wars start, when supplies are scarce, and prices rise, but there are always those who hoard. During this period, Liu Chengxun's Kaifeng Mansion and Liu Chengyou's Inspection Department jointly enforced the law to crack down on profiteers and stabilize grain prices. Then, it was found that the grain merchants had been hit, and the amount of grain sent into Tokyo from all over the country had dropped sharply, and the price of grain had not been effectively curbed, and it remained high.

The government does not have much grain, but the transportation is slack, the import of rice and grain is limited, and there are still those who focus on supporting the imperial court and supporting the war, circulation and civilian use, after all, are a minority.

There was no choice but to relax the suppression, but to draw a red line on the price, giving those grain brokers and businessmen profit margins. After all, no matter how high the price of food is, it is better than being hungry. And this incident also gave Liu Chengyou two wake-up calls, one is for the official storage of grain, and the other is for Cao Yun.

"Can the government be trusted?" One person couldn't help but complain: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is benevolent and calms down grievances. That Zhou Wang, scary! ”

"If you want me to say, His Royal Highness King Zhou is quite reasonable, the soldiers of the Inspection Department dare not be too presumptuous, if they bump into the hands of those military leaders of the guards, it is ...... luck to survive."

"You don't want to die!" Listening to the two chatting more and more, the yellow-faced man scolded nervously, and the two of them hurriedly stopped.

In order to ensure the stability of the capital, during this period of time, the imperial court once again tightened the control of Kaifeng. In Kaifeng City, there are three yamen who have law enforcement power over the security of Fang City, Liu Chengxun's Kaifeng Mansion, Liu Chengyou's Inspection Division, and Shi Hongzhao's Guard Division.

The three parties are jointly managed, the rights and responsibilities are not clear, and the three parties have completely different styles of acting. Liu Chengxun is a politician with morality, generosity and kindness, likes to do it himself, and mainly serves people. Liu Chengyou, as always, obeys the law and enforces the law strictly, but it is strict and reasonable, and it does not discriminate equally. Only Shi Hongzhao was on his side, highlighting a ruthless, guarding the military officials, patrolling the streets and alleys, but when he saw a "strange" person, he first arrested and observed it, and if he couldn't find it clearly, he took it back to the guard prison and tortured him, and the people in Beijing were afraid of him like a tiger.

Because of these things, Liu Chengxun also had an argument with Shi Hongzhao, and was so angry with that martial artist that he almost didn't fall ill again. And Liu Zhiyuan, even if he heard about it, he only dealt with it, and warned Shi Hongzhao a little and asked him to rein in. It is said that Emperor Liu Zhiyuan agreed with Shi Hongzhao's idea of "re-enactment in troubled times". As long as Tokyo is not chaotic, everything is easy to say.

"I don't know when these days will end." There was silence for a while, and one of them lamented.

"When the battle is over in Yedu, there will be no war in the imperial court, maybe it will be fine." There was expectation in the speaker's undetermined tone.

"With this posture, I don't know when I'm going to fight. If the battle in the north is unfavorable, and the imperial court will levy and issue conscription again, maybe, we will be requisitioned and transferred to the battlefield! ”

"I'd rather go to the battlefield, if I can join the forbidden army, kill a few people, and make some achievements, life will be better. If you die, you will not live to suffer! The little man looked to the north, and his words were bitter.

"Huh!" This immediately drew ridicule, and a stout man pointed at the little man and mocked: "Just you? If I go to Yedu, I'm afraid it will also be the fate of filling the city! ”

"Don't underestimate people!"

“......”

"Hey!" The yellow-faced man sighed again, unintentionally listening to these people's arguments anymore, and looked up at the sky, where the sky was clear. I secretly thought in my heart, I have accumulated some money in the past few days, and I will go to the market to buy some noodles, fish, oil and salt later, today, after all, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will have a good holiday with my family.

"It's all for a certain person to get up and work, and a boat is coming!" They didn't have to rest for long, and the steward of their ferry, with a few people in his entourage, came to urge, shouting and shouting, and when he saw that he was not moving, he kicked it "kindly".

Not far away, a boat with a deep draft slowly approached the shore, and it was estimated that there were about 300 stones, and on the Bianhe River, it was also a big ship, coming from the southeast.

As soon as he did it, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, tightened his belt, and actively stepped forward to work hard for his livelihood.
