Chapter 90: Guanyou Jiedu
In the days leading up to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Chengyou was obviously busier. After all, before breaking the city and quelling the rebellion, you basically only need to worry about how to defeat the enemy. The city is down, the thieves are destroyed, and the aftermath involves the energy of Liu Chengyou's attitude.
Pacifying the people, sacrificing the army, dealing with rebellion and lawlessness, strictly enforcing military discipline, renovating Buddhist temples, urging the autumn harvest, and even the music in Tokyo has come much more diligently......
A series of military and political affairs made Liu Chengyou a little overwhelmed and physically and mentally exhausted. Of course, he was used to it, and for a long time, he hadn't relaxed.
On the morning of the 14th, he met with the old people of the local township in Hezhong to show his "proximity to the people". In the afternoon, the county officials of Hezhong, Xie, Jiang, Hua, and Tongzhi who came to the edict gave a speech on the mobilization of peasant organizations, and for the first time formally put forward the imperial court's policy of "leniency and simplification of administration." In addition, several county officials and town generals who were notorious in their local crimes were arrested and punished immediately to deter them.
In the evening, in the middle of the Hezhong Mansion, Liu Chengyou set up a small banquet, for the Guanyou Zhujiedu, who traveled hundreds of miles and hurriedly responded to the edict.
Previously, after the city was broken, Liu Chengyou sent a flying horse to summon Zhujiedu to attend the meeting, wanting to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, and the time was very tight, but the Son of Heaven was close to the river, and he dared to refuse to suppress the rebellion and destroy the thief.
In fact, there are already more than half of the right sections in Hezhongguan, Jingzhao, Shaanxi, Hua, Tong, Yao, and Wei, plus Wang Yan. Liu Chengyou really summoned Wang Jun of Fengxiang, Shi Kuangyi of Jingyuan, Zhang Yanchao of Yanzhou and Gao Yunquan of Yanzhou, these four Fang Zhen who did not participate in the counterinsurgency.
Although there is a difference between the distance and the distance, the distance of hundreds of miles is enough for the other generation to arrive. However, the farthest Gao Yunquan traveled from Yanzhou day and night to the river, but Wang Jun of Fengxiang did not arrive.
In the hall, the lights are bright, and the monarchs and ministers are in the column. During the banquet, the chips were staggered, the glasses were exchanged, and the atmosphere was in a peaceful atmosphere.
"Lao Zhuqing worked tirelessly, and came to the pilgrimage for hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, but it was my fault. I would like to use this cup to make amends to the three of them. Liu Chengyou's facial muscles softened a little, and with a little apology in his tone, he said to Shi Kuangyi, Zhang Yanchao and Gao Yunquan.
"Your Majesty has ascended to the pole, and it is a great pity that the ministers did not have time to enter Beijing to meet him. This time I was able to bow in front of the emperor, see the holy face, and relieve the feelings of worship in the minister's heart...... "Changyi Festival Shi Kuangyi gave Liu Chengyou face very much, and replied.
Although he knew that Shi Kuangyi was complimenting himself, Liu Chengyou still felt very comfortable in his heart. Since the beginning of the founding of the country, Shi Kuangyi has a great "good impression" of the Liu family, and sends money to persuade him to advance, no matter what kind of ideas he had at first, as the Han Dynasty won the Central Plains and slowly sat down in the country, Shi Kuangyi's name as a loyal minister of the country has become more and more solid, and he has always been obedient to the court. There was no shortage of tribute, and there was no delay in sending troops under the edict.
Therefore, even if this is the first time Liu Chengyou has seen Shi Kuangyi, he is very impressed with the past. There are such people in Fang Town, and it is impossible for Liu Chengyou not to pay attention to praise.
"Shanxi has been restless for a long time, and the enemy country is watching on the side. Guanshan is far away, and it is understandable that Zhu Qing has the heavy responsibility of protecting the people on the border, and it is easy not to leave the place where he is duty. Liu Chengyou said something about the scene.
Beside Shi Kuangyi, there was an old man with a clear face, his face was calm, and he seemed to imply a little gloom, and he looked like he was not easy to mess with. took a sip of wine and showed a smile that was not very enthusiastic: "Your Majesty is generous and forgiving, and you are so considerate of your subordinates, which really makes your ministers admire." ”
It was Zhang Yanchao, the envoy of the Danzhou Baoda Festival, who spoke. Briefly introduce the situation of this person, the founding general of the Later Tang Dynasty, the adopted son of Li Siyuan of Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, and Li Cunqiao of Zhuangzong who once rode the school. In the early years, he disagreed with Shi Jingjiao, and after the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, he directly surrendered to the Khitan and was worshiped as the envoy of the Yunzhou Festival.
When the Khitan went south to destroy the Jin Dynasty, his subordinates were on the expedition and caused trouble in Hebei, which was quite "meritorious". When Liu Zhiyuan entered the Central Plains, he saw that the Khitan was not good, and he lost his sincerity, and then moved to the town of Yanzhou, and has been so far.
This person is usually gloomy, mean, unkind, courageous, and ordinary......
Judging from his resume, Liu Chengyou certainly didn't look down on this person in his heart, and even felt a little disgusted, because he seemed to see a little "shadow" of himself from this Zhang Yanchao.
For what he said, Liu Chengyou's ears were directly filtered out, and the compliments were still on the shelf. However, on the face, I have to make a generous appearance and say a few words of comfort.
His eyes moved away from Zhang Yanchao and looked at Gao Yunquan in Yanzhou. Gao Yunquan is in the prime of life, in the prime of life, with rough eyebrows, rude behavior, drinking wine and eating large pieces of meat, but in those eyes, there is a shrewd look flashing from time to time.
Unlike others, Gao Yunquan is in Yanzhou, belongs to the head of the land, and is strong in the state. When his grandfather was in Liang and Tang, he served as the festival envoy of Yanzhou. Although he fell in the middle, Gao's family was famous in Yanzhou. And Gao Yunquan also took advantage of the situation when the Khitan destroyed the Jin.
At that time, the Yanzhou festival was thorough, and the situation on the surface was that the state soldiers were chaotic, and the attack was thorough, not down, and the soldiers were not handsome, and there was no one who dared to be handsome, and then someone shouted "Take the Gao family West Mansion Langjun as the handsome". Then the confused audience embraced, and Zhou Mi resisted, sawing for several days, coincided with Liu Zhiyuan called the emperor, the envoy came west to appease Hexi, Gao Yunquan reacted quickly, and immediately sent the Yanzhou envoy to Taiyuan, not waiting for the overall situation of the Central Plains to be decided, then Zhou Mi abandoned the city and fled, and the Gao family then possessed Yanzhou.
The changes that happened in Yanzhou last year cannot, of course, be as simple and unexpected as they seem, and the story behind them is also very exciting. But looking at the front and back, this Gao Yunquan is obviously not simple, and his scheming means and vision are not bad, if anyone looks down on him with his vulgar behavior, he will definitely suffer.
Feeling Liu Chengyou's gaze, Gao Yunquan put down the dried wine, wiped the oil on his mouth with his sleeve robe very disregardingly, and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." The wine is delicious, the meat is delicious! ”
glanced at Gao Yunquan meaningfully, Liu Chengyou seemed to be happy with it, and said: "These wine and meat are all taken out of the Hezhong Mansion, and you can enjoy them to your heart's content......
A reception banquet took more than an hour, which was not too long, mainly between Liu Chengyou and Sanjiedu, to contact the feelings, and by the way, to show the majesty and presence of his son of heaven.
Similarly, after a banquet, Liu Chengyou's attitude towards the three knots was basically determined. Needless to say, Shi Kuangyi just needs to appease the reward as usual. Zhang Yanchao, this person is not obedient at all, let alone loyal, belongs to the kind that needs to be suppressed.
As for Gao Yunquan, this person is a bit interesting, unlike other festivals, he has a deep foundation in Yanzhou, even if he is self-contained, he can't be moved easily.
Liu Chengyou attaches great importance to Yanzhou, not to mention anything else, just rushing at the fierce fire oil in its territory, Liu Chengyou has to be careful. On the other hand, it has been reported that Gao Yunquan and Li Yiyin of Xiazhou are not in harmony, and there are constant discord and conflicts between the two forces.
When I was last year, I almost fought, but Liu Zhiyuan sent the envoy to reconcile. This time, in the middle of Liu Chengyou's rebellion, Gao Yunquan also sent someone to report, saying that Li Yiyin had a change and asked Liu Chengyou to reinforce money and grain, and was willing to block the party for the imperial court......
Considering this layer of relationship, Gao Yunquan still has some role in Yanzhou, at least in terms of preventing and curbing Xiazhou. The party members in the northwest have been comforting and developing for decades, and their power has been growing, nominally subjugating to the Central Plains, but in fact they have long been self-contained, and they are a separatist force for one side.
If you don't deal with it, it will be a big disaster in the future, you don't need to rely on deduction or anything, as long as you think about the bitter history of blood and tears in the confrontation between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia in the official history, you can understand. In Liu Chengyou's target plan, the party members in the northwest are also the target of elimination.
Of course, Yanzhou is such an important place, it is impossible to let the Gao family control it for too long. It's just that it needs to be done slowly, and in a short period of time, Liu Chengyou's focus will not be on this side, but will try his best to ensure the stability of the northwest.
The contradiction between primary and secondary, which is more important and which is more important, Liu Chengyou always has a number in his heart.
