Chapter 4: See this and see that
The vertical arch hall has officially become a place for Liu Chengyou to meet with ministers and listen to government affairs on a daily basis. It's just the first succession, everything is according to the precedents, except for the change of office space, and the time of the prison, there is not much change.
In the palace, Liu Chengyou successively met with Wu Xingde and Liu Xianjiao, did some homework in advance, and knew about the resumes of the two, especially Wu Xingde, who had heard about it when he led the troops out of Hedong.
When today's festival is the degree, there are many greedy, cruel and tyrannical people, such as Luzhou Jiedu Changsi, Tongzhou Jiedu Xue Huairang, including Shi Hongzhao and even Liu Xin, who did not have a town in Tokyo, and the rest did not abuse the people, and rarely took positive political actions to help the people and seek governance.
It is different from those vulgar warriors who have tasted poverty and made a fortune, and then turned to oppress the people even more. Although Wu Xingde is also a martial artist, he does not have the violent spirit of ordinary military ministers, he was born in poverty, and once he soared to the festival town, he did not get carried away, but because he knew the suffering of the people and the difficulties of the people, he treated the people under his rule with kindness, and there was almost no accumulation.
In fact, if there were more Fang towns like Wu Xingde in the world, the people would not suffer like this. However, if the towns in the world are as martial as martial arts, then the emperor may not sit very peacefully.
"Wu Qing, although I am in Tokyo, I have also heard about the affairs of Heyang. Qing is in Heyang, leniency and simple punishment, sympathy for the people's suffering, return to production, and rest, but for more than half a year, Heyang has the image of great governance. To make the world as martial arts, why worry about the world? Liu Chengyou had a gentle attitude towards Wu Xingde, and his tone was full of appreciation and praise.
Of course, the standard of "great governance" in Liu Chengyou's mouth can be pitifully low......
"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the minister is ashamed. The ministers just can't do anything to govern, let the people up, and there is nothing to praise them. "Wu Xingde's attitude is deferential and humble.
"Wu Qing doesn't have to be too humble!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand lightly and said solemnly: "A call on the river, expelling the Northern Kou, winging and protecting the royal driver, governing the government and the people, and the merits of Wuqing, I and the court are both in the eyes, which is very rare!" ”
After saying some polite words, Liu Chengyou almost didn't hesitate, and said: "In order to reward the Qing's merits, I want to use the Qing to inspect the school according to the former lieutenant, add the level of the chapter, and seal the Yu Cihou for the sake of the prime minister!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Xingde suddenly provoked Byrne.
In fact, Liu Chengyou's operation does not have any benefits, it is basically virtual. But for Wu Xingde, he does not seek profit, and he is naturally famous. For example, today's festival, there are not many people who have to add envoys.
chatted with Wu Xingde for a while, let him retire, and summoned Liu Xianjiao. I won't introduce much about Liu Xianjiao, but all in all, he has a clean character, a high reputation, and a talent for governance. Previously, Liu Chengxun commissioned him to Zhengzhou Mintun, all of which were taught as teachers.
Liu Chengyou also maintained respect for Liu Xianjiao, not to talk about anything else, but at this age that has passed the age of the ancient years, he should also show the most basic respect and preferential treatment. In this era, it is not easy to live such a long life and still be active in the political arena.
Like Wu Xingde, Liu Chengyou said some polite words, but the scene was slightly embarrassing, in front of such an old man who had insight into the world, Liu Chengyou's set was too immature. However, after all, it is the emperor, and Liu Xianjiao is still very face-saving and agrees.
Or Liu Chengyou, a little unbearable to chat, directly asked what he really cared about: "Liu Qing, how is the matter in Zhengzhou Mintun?" ”
The spring ploughing season has arrived, and on the second day of his accession to the throne, on the day the dragon raised his head, Liu Chengyou also took time out to go to the outskirts of Tokyo and put down the first hoe.
The imperial court has officially begun to expand the Mintun in the states of the Central Plains, which Liu Chengyou is particularly concerned about and urges to promote, but the progress is still slow. There are not enough officials, not enough people, not enough tools, and simply put, there is not enough land but enough land......
And the largest scale, has been on the right track, and has been set as an example by the imperial court, Liu Chengyou naturally pays special attention.
"At the beginning of the spring thaw, the old minister and his subordinates in Zhengzhou organized the people and the people of Tun to prepare for spring ploughing. Before the minister came to Beijing, he had already planted the ground...... After the gathering before and after, under the rule of Zhengzhou, there are more than 67,000 households......" Liu Shen handed over to Liu Chengyou and gave a detailed introduction to the situation in Zhengzhou.
Not to mention anything else, the population alone, except for Tokyo, is the largest in Zhengzhou.
Thinking of the population, Liu Chengyou's thought flashed in his mind, and he issued an edict to conduct a "population census" to find out how many Dingkou were still registered under the rule of the Han Dynasty. For decades, the Central Plains and Hebei have been in turmoil, although there is a small rule, but the overall population is still basically negative growth, but how scarce the population is, Liu Chengyou still has no spectrum in his heart.
Although he has ideas in his head, Liu Chengyou knows that this matter cannot be rushed, and the current national conditions are not the time to do this at all, at least when there is a slightly more relaxed internal and external environment.
Liu Chengyou's distraction, the time is not short, come back to your senses, look at Liu Xianjiao who is sitting there, although his old god is at ease, but Liu Chengyou apologizes: "I think about it occasionally, I am distracted, Liu Qing must not be surprised." ”
"The old minister doesn't dare!"
"Zhengzhou Tun matter, Liu Qing did a good job, I am very satisfied. At the beginning, the imperial brother appointed Liu Qing to do things, and he really didn't see the wrong person! Liu Chengyou said.
mentioned Liu Chengxun, Liu Xianjiao sighed slightly in his heart, a little pity, but he didn't show it, and he didn't want to take it more, just dragged the old man's voice and responded: "The old minister is just doing his duty, if there is no support from the previous court, it is difficult to have today's order!" ”
"If you change someone, you may not have the function of Liu Qing!"
The conversation with Liu Xianjiao was very plain from beginning to end, it was a normal debriefing, the old man's mentality was very peaceful, and it was really difficult to make any waves, and Liu Chengyou was not a person who was good at chatting, and in the face of this kind of Buddhist minister, the conversation was a little embarrassing. Liu Xianjiao is not a talkative person.
But in the end, when Liu Chengyou was about to give him a grace, he took the initiative to ask. is not for himself, nor for his children and grandchildren, but for the puppet emperor Li Congyi's mother and son, who had been a puppet emperor for a period of time.
In this life, because Li Congyi did not do some particularly sensitive things, such as issuing an edict to King Zhujie Duqin to fight against the Hedong Army or something, he surrendered very simply, although there were twists and turns, he finally saved his life. At the beginning, the officials persecuted, and only Liu Xianjiao saluted and sympathized with the mother and son, and strongly admonished him to descend quickly.
As a result, although his life was saved, his life was sad, as the "abolished emperor", he was constantly under surveillance, and was sometimes bullied and blackmailed......
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou was still a little surprised, and looked at Liu Xianjiao with a scrutinizing gaze. It's a pity that this old minister looks calm, and that frank appearance makes it difficult for Liu Chengyou to have some suspicions.
For Liu Chengyou, what is the youngest son of Tang Mingzong, the emperor established by the Khitan, is really not worth it. If you have the heart to be jealous of Li Congyi, it is better to consider whether Guo Wei is a threat......
Therefore, Liu Chengyou said very generously: "For three generations, Tang Mingzong is also a rare Ming monarch, and he has the right to inherit the incense for his heirs. ”
After speaking, Liu Chengyou directly instructed: "Confess, Xu Guogong's mother and son, Tokyo officials, soldiers and civilians must not be disturbed, let them live in peace!" ”
"Your Majesty is open-minded, benevolent and generous, and the old ministers admire!" The order was established, and Liu Xianjiao expressed his praise to Liu Chengyou for the first time, and his tone was quite sincere.
complimented him, Liu Chengyou's mentality was more peaceful, and he waved his hand indifferently.
