The situation in Jingnan and Xiangzhou was quickly transmitted back to Tokyo and reported to the Son of Heaven, which successfully surprised Liu Chengyou, if his mind was not always clear, he would have the illusion of surrender from all over the world.

"The patriarch of the true kingdom of Qi State, a pillar of the South Heaven, is commendable in loyalty, commendable in loyalty!" Liu Chengyou's eyes narrowed into an arc of joy, and he praised An Xianqi in his mouth.

Fan Zhigong stood in the hall and said: "The Duke of Qi is strict and clear, lenient and simple, good at knowing the strategy of Qizheng, and familiar with the law of loneliness and emptiness, so as to town Xiangzhou, such as the Great Wall, Your Majesty can be safe!" ”

Liu Chengyou nodded, and his happy mood was overflowing: "I heard that his son An Shouzhong is also a young talent, and he is widely known in Xiangzhou. Qi Guogong intends to let him enter the court as a general, the country is the time to employ people, with such a good talent, how can I not laugh at it? Liu Chengyou pointed to an official waiting on the side: "Pass the order to the Privy Council, after An Shouzhong arrives in Tokyo, the military position will be arranged, because it can be properly placed!" ”

"An Shouzhong's name has also been obtained, the heart of Qi Gong, a red heart......"

"Yes!"

The official who was ordered was named Wang Shu, and he looked polite, well, Wang Punan went to Suzhou to take office, and the emperor was surrounded by young people.

In the third year of Qianyou, the Great Han Dynasty held a regular examination, and Zhao Shangjiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, still knew the tribute, and this time the scale of recruiting talents was unprecedented, and thousands of scholars were taken from all disciplines. And this king's book is a jinshi and the first, ranking in the forefront, and he is very fortunate to be "extracted" by the Son of Heaven, and the official worships the right to pick up the relics and serve the emperor.

For the name "Wang Shu", Liu Chengyou has a vague impression in his mind, sometimes, the name experience of famous ministers and brave generals is easy to forget, but the protagonists in some "small stories" can maintain their memories for a long time.

The story is probably that Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, set up a banquet, the king was at the table, drunk, missing the late master of Hou Zhou, making a loud noise, Zhao Kuangyin was not guilty, and ordered someone to help him to rest. The king refused, and hid himself in the screen and wept bitterly. Some courtiers played, asked Zhao Kuangyin to treat him for the crime of nostalgia for the previous dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin showed his magnanimity, saying that a scholar was drunk and knew his temperament, which is not surprising......

Later, Wang Shu died of a violent illness.

Therefore, among the many high-ranking jinshi, Liu Chengyou chose Wang Shu, who has an "eye", and now, he no longer needs to only stare at "historical celebrities", there is no need to ......

"Your Majesty, how should you reply to the request of the king of Nanping to give food and pay?" Fan asked.

At the mention of this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but be happy, and smiled a little subtlely: "This high and stingy temperament is also from his father, but he discussed the price with me!" ”

Fan Zhen's perennial serious face also showed a faint smile, and said: "The minister has seen that the king of Nanping is in awe of His Majesty and the court!" ”

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou said: "Send someone to reply to Gao Baorong, just say that I agree to his request, and the army of Tunli will be fed by him for three months, and after that, it will be transported by Xiang, An, and Yingzhou!" ”

Saying that, he glanced at Fan Qian, and Liu Chengyou was very emotional in his tone: "Jing Nan is so obedient to the imperial court, and if it has difficulties, I should also understand, otherwise it will be spread out, so that how the people of the world think of my Han monarchs and ministers, don't be too domineering...... In this way, the edict gave fifty horses of high-maintenance silk, which can be regarded as a part of my heart! ”

"Yes!"

The arrangement in Jinghu this time, Liu Chengyou's intentions, in addition to planning the Southern Tang Dynasty, are not only in the soldiers and horses, and the money and grain.

This is since the first year of Qianyou, but after Meng Shu and Pinghe, Liu Chengyou once again exposed his minions. This is also an attempt, and the results are gratifying, and it turns out that the influence of the Han Center on the local area is much greater than Liu Chengyou imagined.

For a long time, in view of the difficulties and hardships since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and suffering from the current situation and national conditions, Liu Chengyou has always been cautious and walking on thin ice. After that, no matter how he used the army, he felt that he could be more daring......

"Your Majesty, recently, the center has received a lot of concerts from officials who stayed in Xijing, all of whom impeached Shi Hongzhao who stayed in Xijing!" Fan Zhen mentioned a matter: "The political hall does not dare to be self-dictatorated, and I ask Your Majesty to train you!" ”

"Hmm...... I'm afraid it's a cliché again! Liu Chengyou asked lightly, looking unconcerned.

Since Shi Hongzhao was released to Luoyang, with his strong style of not preaching, he has concocted Xijing bureaucrats, ministers, powerful and wealthy businessmen to be described as "wanting to die". During his time on duty, there have been voices of impeachment and slander, and there has been a steady stream of them, and if he does not receive a notice from Xijing for a month, Tokyo will not be used to it.

It's just that because of Liu Chengyou, the son of the dark belly, he is very satisfied with Shi Hongzhao's work in Luoyang. There are so many lords and wealthy people in Xijing who suck the blood and wealth of the Han Dynasty, and it is just a wicked person like Shi Hongzhao to grind it.

Therefore, when Fan Zhen mentioned the impeachment of Shi Hongzhao, Liu Chengyou was not surprised, but just ordinary.

However, Fan Zhen obviously had other ideas, and reminded: "Your Majesty, this situation is a bit special! ”

"Huh?" Sure enough, it attracted Liu Chengyou's attention: "What's the matter?" Say! ”

"Because His Majesty inspected the land of the whole country and the edict of Dingkou, Shi Hongzhao ordered his subordinate officials, officers and soldiers, and servants to conduct a comprehensive inventory in Luoyang. This was originally an edict, but the officials below acted too arbitrarily, and there were more Han officials and lords than Xijing to buy land and property, set up manors, and there were many people who were not registered. Shi Hongzhao is still registered, and he will be checked according to the map, and those who are not registered will be confiscated. ”

As a result, there are countless people in Xijing who have lost their homes and lands because of this. The people's grievances accumulated from this, and hatred arose, and some people pooled wealth and joint ventures to hire rangers to assassinate him, and captured and tortured all of them for Shi Hongzhao. Later, he sent troops to arrest the mastermind in Xijing City, arrested dozens of people, interrogated them severely, and abandoned the city without verification or reporting to Tokyo! ”

"Your Majesty, and now Xijing, the scholars, the people, the officials and businessmen, are all angry because of the Shi family's government, and the voice of resentment is enough to carry the ......"

After listening to Fan Zhen's report, Liu Chengyou's expression couldn't help but be much more serious, and he frowned and said: "Zheng Guogong acted according to the edict of the imperial court, what is the fault, and where does the people's grievances come from?" ”

said, glancing at Fan Zhen: "Land is the foundation of the people, and food and clothing depend on it." Why didn't those who were even Tian Qianmo report to the government as soon as possible to register, and I don't know the reason? Over the years, the people who have been recruited by Xijing to reclaim and recultivate, and the land where military merits are rewarded, have they been harassed? Who is Fan Qing's words about the people's grievances and anger? ”

Although it was not aimed at Fan Qian, the Son of Heaven asked again and again, and fell into the ears of Fan Qian, which made the minister who has always been calm and serious feel worried.

Seeing that Liu Chengyou's face was cold and hard, and he still wanted to maintain Shi Hongzhao's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart: "Your Majesty ......"

Without waiting for his words to speak, Liu Chengyou said again: "However, Zheng Guogong has always been a martial artist, he has always been tough, acted excessively, and mishandled it, which should not be done. Arbitrary arrests, blatant killings, and suspicion of disregard for human life, should not be! ”

After this statement, Liu Chengyou looked at Fan Qian: "Fan Qing thinks, how to deal with this matter?" ”

The question of the Son of Heaven obviously showed signs of a change of mind, but Fan Zhen remained calm and cautious: "Zheng Guogong is in Luo, and he has always been punished by severe punishment, although the rule is orderly, the people are uneasy. The minister asked, Xijing Shimin, go to the market, hurry up, talk privately, dare not raise the voice, one hundred and two markets, there is not a trace of laughter. When Zheng Gong was in office, the people of Xijing were not allowed to live in peace, and the businessmen were not happy, and he was very angry. Especially this time, the handling was too mishandled......"

After counting Shi Hongzhao's mistakes, Fan Zhen thought of something, and changed his words: "However, these situations are all from the music and the news, and the truth still needs to be verified by His Majesty." After all, Xijing stayed behind in the country, and Zheng Gong was the founding father of the country, how to deal with it, please ask Your Majesty to judge! ”

After listening to Fan Zhen's words, Liu Chengyou took a deep breath and asked, "How long has Shi Hongzhao been in Xijing?" ”

"Four months away, that is, three years!" Fan Zhen replied.

"Then let him move his nest, the government hall can discuss what position to move, whether to transfer back to Tokyo, or move to another town!" Liu Chengyou commanded directly.

Transferred out of Shi Hongzhao, Liu Chengyou actually had this intention for a long time, and if he is suppressed again, Luoyang may be abolished......

"Yes!"

Before Fan Zhi retired, Liu Chengyou suddenly asked in a flat tone: "The person who was cleared and handed over the land by Zheng Guogong, can you have your Fan family?" ”
