Overnight, I agreed on the matter of the personal expedition, and took the time to discuss the matter of marching, and the royal driving of the personal expedition, and the dispatch of the general and the commander to rebel, since the difference, the first army to go out of the expedition needs to be adjusted, and the inner temple is added. The powerful Crane Control Army, Liu Chengyou didn't mean to bring it this time, and wanted to use it to guard the safety of the imperial city. At the same time, the accompanying school should also be dispatched.

It was not until dawn that the lights and candles were exhausted, and the temple meeting was over. The ministers, still not resting, need to quickly devote themselves to the preparation of the pro-conquest, especially the three yamen of the Third Division, the Privy Council, and the Guards Division.

On the 15th, Liu Chengyou gave a day and a night of adjustment time, and the time was very rushed, even if a lot of preparations had been made in the early stage, he was not busy.

At the beginning of the day, Liu Chengyou, who took a short rest in the vertical arch hall, was awakened by the attendants on time. Up to now, the attendants who were waiting by his side did not dare to have any discount on Liu Chengyou's orders, let alone be smart enough to understand His Majesty's hard work and let him sleep a little longer.

After simply packing up, Liu Chengyou went to Renming Hall to meet the Li family, he wanted to recruit in person, and he had to inform the Queen Mother.

The Li family had already gotten up, and after taking care of the emperor's grandson Liu Qinge a little, he learned the news that the official family was coming. During this period of time, almost all of Li's hearts have been pinned on this grandson, for fear of any accidents.

Next to the dining table, Liu Chengyou sat under the side, as always, eating and drinking. However, the atmosphere is less warm and solemn than before.

Personally peeled an egg for Liu Chengyou, and Li sighed faintly: "Erlang, I know, persuasion can't persuade you." However, you must think carefully and think twice. ”

Listening to Li's words, it is obvious that she doesn't want Liu Chengyou to go into battle in person, and she has been worried about going out of Hedong last year, and Rong has gone through hardships and dangers. Today, Liu Chengyou is the emperor, the lord of the country, and the most important thing in the world.

However, Li also knows Liu Chengyou's temperament, and knows that he can't be dissuaded when his plan has been decided. Therefore, it is simply a reminder.

"Don't worry. The matter in the river, the son has been planning for a long time, the temple is counting, and the court is fully prepared, all of Li Shouzhen's actions are in the eyes of the son...... "In the face of Li's reasonableness, Liu Chengyou also comforted him.

Hearing this, the doubts between the Li family and the grace dissipated a lot, and he nodded. Thinking that Liu Chengyou has always planned and then moved, his heart is a little wider.

"Tokyo is the heart of the Central Plains, where the country is located, and if Tokyo is stable, the world will be safe. Before leaving Beijing, the imperial court must make proper arrangements! After thinking about it, Li reminded.

"My mother's teachings are very good, how to arrange, my son has already planned in his heart!" Liu Chengyou had a humble attitude, his eyes flashed slightly, he raised his hand to salute, and solemnly said to Li: "However, if you want Tokyo to be stable, you still need the Queen Mother to come forward and calm people's hearts!" ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou's invitation, Li Shifeng's eyebrows frowned, and he subconsciously raised his hand to refuse: "I am a woman in the deep palace, and the affairs of the front court are not suitable for me to interfere!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou said: "There are many disagreements between the ministers. The mother's name is known to the world, and everyone looks up to it, and in Tokyo, only the mother can subdue the ministers. For the peace of the court and the stability of the country, I can only work hard for the time being! ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou say this, Li nodded and sighed: "I'll watch it for you for a while, and wait for you to return to the teacher!" ”

Li is really a very smart woman, and she basically doesn't touch Liu Chengyou's "sensitive places" on weekdays, and this time, she should only go after making sure that Liu Chengyou has no other intentions.

Last year, Liu Zhiyuan's relatives went to war, and there was still Liu Chengxun, the king of Wei, to supervise the country. When it was Liu Chengyou's turn, there was no choice but to ask the Queen Mother. In the entire city of Tokyo, the only one who can control the scene and gain Liu Chengyou's trust is this mother.

As for this, it will cause a significant increase in the power of matrilineal relatives, which is just a small trouble for today's big Han. Compared with the stability of the capital and the country, it is nothing.

After withdrawing from the Li family, Liu Chengyou received good news from the front line, but Yang Ye had Pu army in Fenglingjin, and his colleague, Zhao Hui, had led 3,000 Shaanxi troops to the west to support. There is no big problem on the front line, and Liu Chengyou's side can be more stable.

In good spirits, Liu Chengyou successively visited the Privy Council and the Department of Guards to inquire about the adjustment of the expeditionary army. The army set out on the expedition and set off on the royal car, not the horse infantry army set off together. The efficiency of the Privy Council is not low, and the previous scheduling preparations are not to be talked about, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the six armies of the small bottom army have been under the leadership of Zhou Hui, the commander of the capital, and they have advanced westward as the vanguard force.

In addition, according to the plan, the Xingjie Army and the Second Army were to be commanded two hours later, and a part of the grain and weapons would be escorted to follow them. By tomorrow, it will be Liu Chengyou who will lead the Sacred Horse Army, Longqi, Inner Temple and other armies to set off as the Chinese army.

50,000 steps to ride, it is real, without water. As a result, after the army left Beijing, the forbidden army inside and outside Kaifeng City was only a little more than 40,000 left, and the combat power was slightly inferior.

As a national capital that has no danger to defend, it is already empty, and this part of the military horses, in addition to consolidating Tokyo, must also deal with the threat of the Tang army that may come from the south at any time. However, if the Tang Army sent troops to Tokyo, it would be basically impossible......

On the upper floor of the imperial city, Liu Chengyou held on to the railing that had been cleaned very clean, and looked south at the Tokyo city wall. Although it is embarrassing to see the whole picture, you can vaguely imagine the scenery of Tokyo today. Early autumn is a beautiful season, the harvest season, food and clothing, a large number of new products on the market. The business atmosphere in Tokyo seems to have always been strong.

The atmosphere in the city has been the most peaceful in a period of time in half a year, mainly because the price of food has dropped. However, with the rebellion in the river, the price of grain will rise again, and the control in the city will be strengthened again.

"I don't take you with me on this expedition, I feel a little sorry!" Liu Chengyou turned his head to look at Xiang Xun, who was standing beside him, and asked.

As a confidant, in front of Liu Chengyou, Xiang Xun maintained his respect, but he was not too nervous. Hearing this, he said casually: "It's a pity that I can't quell the rebellion with Your Majesty, but I am honored to be able to defend the imperial city for Your Majesty!" ”

Xiang Xun is already a very mature talent, without the vigor of young people, with a very peaceful mind and a very visionary mind.

In this western expedition, Liu Chengyou's old troops like Sun Li, Ma Quanyi, Han Tong, and Li Chongju all went to war with the army, and only Xiang Xun was left in Tokyo by Liu Chengyou. While still shouldering the imperial city envoy, Liu Chengyou promoted him as the commander of the crane army! Xiang Xun, of course, knows the purpose of Liu Chengyou to keep him in Tokyo.

"The Crane Control Army is the most elite of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, and I will hand it over to you. The Queen Mother, the Great Interior, the Imperial City, and the Ya are all under your escort! Liu Chengyou was very satisfied with Xiang Xun's attitude and solemnly trusted him.

Seeing this, Xiang Xun took a step back and replied solemnly: "The last general will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

"For you Xiang Xingmin, I naturally believe it!"

Here in Tokyo, Shang Hongqian was left behind by Liu Chengyou, and continued to command the forbidden army, the main Kaifeng military, he was the forbidden commander for more than two months, and Liu Chengyou was very satisfied with his work.

The two uncles, Li Hongxin and Li Hongwei, one is the deputy marshal of the guard, and the other is the commander of the Ma army, who is still in charge of the military as a check and balance, and there is Li Shi on top, and the other uncle, Li Hongjian, was called to accompany the army.

There is also a Beijing inspection envoy Gaiwan, who led the inspection department to work with Kaifeng Mansion to maintain public order in Tokyo.

Among the ministers, Yang Wei and Feng Dao followed. Feng Dao joined the army in preparation for consultation. Bringing Yang Wei is not a manifestation of favor, if he stays in Beijing, Liu Chengyou is afraid that he will do something. During the expedition, Liu Chengyu did not want any unexpected turmoil in Tokyo.

The rest of the ministers handle the affairs of the country and stabilize the rear. Wang Zhang and Guo Wei, led by Wang Zhang, coordinated all affairs in the rear and supported the Western Expeditionary Army.

In short, Liu Chengyou strives for a balance in the arrangement of Tokyo.

Preparing time day and night, forcing the civil and military ministers to be tight, Yu Liu Chengyou himself, similarly, all things are inspected and promoted, and he is tired enough.

In the evening, Liu Chengyou summoned Li Shaoyou, the envoy of martial arts, to the front of the emperor, and after some secret instructions, he went to the queen and spent the night.

Due to extreme exhaustion, he failed to make a parting shot.
