After communicating with Chen Jun, for Liu Chengyou, it was quite tiring, although the scene looked quite relaxed and harmonious. As for Chen Jun's old way, according to Liu Chengyou's original plan, he wanted to keep him in the court as an official, be an offering, and even directly become a national teacher, so as to achieve the purpose of respecting and revitalizing the religion.

However, after some exchanges, listening to his words and looking at his situation, Liu Chengyou almost tried to find out, this old way is really indifferent to fame and fortune, so he put his mind to rest. It's just a little disappointed, it is said that he is fifty or sixty years old, and he has participated in the scientific examination, but he has only fallen behind, and then he completely indulged in the mountains and rivers, and went to the Taoist scriptures.

However, favor is still inevitable, and Liu Chengyou plans to add fuel to the fire and create a wave of "sleeping fairy" momentum among the people.

"The official family, the king of Shujishi and the envoy of the Yong'an army are waiting outside the palace for Ruan Zheng."

"Xuan!"

For the reception of Zhe Congruan, Liu Chengyou's interest is much higher than that of the old way, after all, the family is modest, holding military power, but the bearing is majestic, much more solemn.

"As early as the time of Jinyang, I heard the name of the public, and I saw the public face when I saw the day, and it really deserved its reputation!" After the salute, Liu Chengyou complimented while looking at the gentle bearing of Zhecongruan.

"Your Majesty's watch of heaven and man, and the ministers also respect." The veteran gives Liu Chengyou a lot of face.

"Have you ever rested well in the pavilion, have you ever been satisfied? Is there anything wrong with the people below? Led him to sit down and ordered someone to serve tea, Liu Chengyou said casually.

Fold Congruan Ying said: "Everything is very good! ”

"I heard that Zhiqing has not yet set up Beppu in Tokyo!" Liu Chengyou asked in an affirmative tone.

Zhi Congruan subconsciously responded: "Yes!" ”

Immediately after, Liu Chengyou instructed Zhang Dejun, who was waiting beside him: "Go, inform Uncle Guo (Li Ye), and let him find a mansion in the inner city and make a place for Zhiqing to stay!" ”

"Yes!" The chamberlain simply responded and went straight away.

In the face of this sudden reward, although Zhi Congruan was surprised, he quickly reacted and hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty." ”

There is nothing to excuse, the left and right are rewarded by the emperor, and he already has the heart to buy a mansion, so he can save him a lot of money. However, in just a few short exchanges, Zhi Congruan intuitively felt the strong style of the Son of Heaven.

"Since the former Tang Dynasty, Zheqing Town has been in Fuzhou for more than 20 years, Shi Jingjiao ceded land to the Khitan, and caused me to be in Beizhou County, which fell into the hands of Hu Kou. Fuzhou is hanging on the border, facing the Khitan threat, protecting the land and living in peace, all of which are the merits of the Qingqing. Liu Chengyou's tone of speech was full of emotion, and he raised his glass to serve tea: "During the hardships and hardships, I empathize, especially replace the wine with tea, and toast a cup!" ”

Liu Chengyou directly affirmed his merits in Fuzhou, and he didn't make a gesture of pity from Ruan, and he raised his glass.

After taking a sip of the imperial tea in the palace, Zhi Congruan had no intention of tasting what was special about its taste, and said emotionally: "To protect the prefecture is not lost, the merit of the ministers alone, and there are thousands of soldiers and civilians, work together to defend the township!" ”

"The snake can't do it without a head, the soldiers don't move, if there is no folding, the land of the house and the Lin will be lost early!"

After emphasizing the importance of Ruan in guarding the border of Fuzhou Prefecture again, Liu Chengyou consulted on the military affairs of Fuzhou Prefecture: "I don't know how many people and soldiers there are now under the Yongan Army?" ”

Glancing at Liu Chengyou slightly, he seemed to be a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, Liu Chengyou said: "Fuzhou is barren and poor, and it is on the border, and it has been repeatedly harassed by the Khitan. The Yong'an Army has more than 5,000 soldiers under its jurisdiction, including 1......,200 soldiers of the Ma Army."

Listening to his words, this little population, this little bit of soldiers and horses, compared with more than 20 years of operation, is really too shabby. Liu Chengyou subconsciously didn't believe it, but considering the years of war and the environment of Fuzhou, he felt reliable when he compared the population of the prefectures and counties he knew.

"It's really not easy!" sighed.

Thinking about it, it seems that it is not easy for a poor place like Fuzhou to be able to defend its land and raise a population of 80,000. It is estimated that a large number of them are going to Fold Congruan's prestige.

felt that he was honest, and Liu Chengyou had a better impression in his heart. Because of the same question, he had also asked Zhu Jiedu, who came to Beijing first. As a result, except for Li Yin of Beizhou Jiedu and Wang Jing of Cangzhou Jiedu, the rest of the people basically couldn't answer. They don't know the people, they don't know the government, and some don't even know how many soldiers they have.

For example, Liu Chengyou's former minister, Zhang Yanwei, who helped a lot in the process of taking charge of the hidden dragon, can be said to have no idea, not at all, but just let him say an exact number, which is difficult for him.

However, Zhang Yanwei guarded Hengzhou for a year and a half, but he was able to make the territory barely peaceful, without major losses. Just because this person is self-aware, and he is surrounded by Li Hub, who was promoted by Liu Chengyou to the judge of the festival, and all the generals to help him. Li Hub, that is the talent of the prime minister, gives full play to his talents in Jizhong.

"Zheqing is in Fuzhou, facing the Khitan, but how is the border defense prepared now?" Liu Chengyou asked again.

In this regard, there was no need to hide it, and he said to Liu Chengyou very open-mindedly: "Those who can protect the prefecture can rely on the dangers of the Yellow River and the Great Wall in addition to the unity of the army and the people under their rule. Over the years, the ministers have also been diligent in resting the walls and towers, building a large number of towns, and non-Khitans can easily go down. ”

Seeing that Zhe Congruan was so confident, Liu Chengyou stroked his palm and said: "Zhe Qing's words are proud, and I can feel at ease for the military and people of Fuzhou." ”

"The Khitans in the north of Fubei, can there be any changes?" Liu Chengyou asked again.

"In the past few years, the Khitan people were arrogant and difficult to control, and every time the autumn was high, they would go south to plunder. However, since last year, it has been reined in a lot, and the ministers have also sent meticulous efforts to explore the land of Yunshuo, and many of its soldiers and horses have shrunk. In the opinion of the ministers, this is the Khitan people suffered a heavy setback in our Central Plains, especially after the battle of Luancheng was created by His Majesty, the performance of the decline of national strength, coupled with the danger of the mountains and highlands in the prefecture, which is not conducive to the Khitan cavalry to fight, so there is this status quo......" Zhi Congruan thought in his heart, and brought up the old things again, complimenting Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou thought about it seriously, and felt that what he said made sense, so he couldn't stop nodding.

Immediately, he looked at him with a bright look: "Yanyun Prefecture, Shi Jingjiao gave it to the Khitan, the land of the ancestors, how can it be abandoned lightly, he will regain it one day, and Zheqing is willing to help me?" ”

Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning from Ruan's eyebrows, such a big talk, Shi Chonggui also said at the beginning, and he was also ordered to attack Shuozhou in the north.

The hesitation in his heart did not affect his expression, and he said solemnly: "There has been a lifelong war between the minister and the Khitan, and the hatred is as deep as the sea. ”

Liu Chengyou smiled and waved his hand: "However, I have to wait a few more years......

From Liu Chengyou's face, Zhe Congruan clearly saw a bit of scheming, but because of this, his evaluation of the Son of Heaven was higher.

"In the same place of Hetao, Fu and Lin are adjacent to the Dingyan Army, I don't know what Zheqing thinks about the Dingyan Army?" Liu Chengyou's brain went to the Xiasui area again.

Hearing this, Zhi Congruan's expression was solemn, without the slightest hesitation, and he said to Liu Chengyou very solemnly: "Please Your Majesty must be vigilant......

“......”

Tongzhi Congruan talked about side affairs for half an hour, Liu Chengyou was in good spirits, and he was still unfinished, if it wasn't for the fatigue of the veteran, he didn't want to let him go.

After Zhe withdrew from the palace from Ruan, he was very emotional, and it was better to see than to hear, and after an exchange with Liu Chengyou, he was even more impressed by this young man.

Wise, wise, bold, strong, ambitious, strategic, and visionary......

In short, not to be humiliated.

As a result, he strengthened his attitude and had more confidence in the Han court. Just for today's meeting, this time in Beijing, there is no vain. In fact, only after personal contact, such a knot, will the heart really settle.
