Chapter 165: The Attitude of the Son of Heaven

It has already entered the summer, the grain grows, everything is lush, Lai Tiangong is beautiful, the rivers are faced, since the beginning of the year, there is no disaster in the Han Dynasty. That is, on the first day of the fourth lunar month, a solar eclipse occurred, causing a wave of waves, as if it was against the changes in the east of the river.

The weather is getting hotter, and the concubines and palace ladies in the Han Palace are getting thinner and thinner, and their beautiful figures are revealed, continuing to tempt the sons of the Han family.

In the Chongzheng Palace, Liu Chengyou sat as usual to manage the government. Probably because the dirt on his body has not been cleaned up, the climate is warm, and the itching is unbearable, Liu Chengyou took the slender Ruyi handle, reached into the collar, and scratched slowly.

"Arrange it, I want to take a bath in the soup tonight, and let Concubine Fu Hui sleep!" Liu Chengyou instructed Zhang Dejun.

"Yes!"

Spread out in front of Liu Chengyou, Liu Chong's request for sealing silk that had not yet been submitted to Tokyo, together with the reports of all parties in Hedong, was presented to Liu Chengyou's desk. The first step is still thinking about the territory of the territory, and the next step is already a prisoner of the ranks, and it is quite ironic to think about it.

For Liu Chong, if it comes to family affection, Liu Chengyou can say without disobedience, no. Moreover, after learning about Liu Chong's misdeeds in Hedong, he became even more disgusted and murderous, which was heavier than Liu Xin at the beginning.

However, as Li Shaoyou guessed, although the situation in Hedong was turbulent, it was under control after all, and it did not cause chaos. The crime of Liu Chong was clearly edicted to the world, his crime was revealed, and he was ordered to be punished, Liu Chengyou had this idea, but that was all.

He should consider the criticism of public opinion, the stability of people's hearts, and the overall situation of cutting the domain. In today's Han world, Hedong is still the first strong domain, and if it is disposed of smoothly, then it will also be powerful for the next spread and appease the hearts of some of the remaining old ministers and old vassals.

At the beginning of Bingguo, Liu Chengyou was busy stabilizing the throne and gathering military power, although there were good governance measures to appease the people, but he did not attach too much importance to people's hearts and public opinions.

However, as the world gradually turned chaotic and returned to governance, in this process, unconsciously, Liu Chengyou also really considered and cared. If you want to rule the world and level the world, you must clean up people's hearts, which Liu Chengyou realized early on.

Although, up to this moment, Liu Chengyou still hasn't considered how to deal with Liu Chong, but from his follow-up edict, avoiding "rebellion" and not talking about it, it can be seen that even if he hates deeply in his heart, he will never tell the world clearly, even if many people know what is going on.

"Your Majesty, Wude's deputy envoy Wang Jingchong asks to see you!"

"Xuan!" Liu Chengyou came back to his senses and put Ruyi on the case.

"Your Majesty, a report from the north that the Duke of Shouyang has been escorted to Liu Chong's family, and he has returned to Tokyo in the south, and he has passed through Zezhou!" After Wang Jingchong saw the ceremony, he said to Liu Chengyou: "In addition, Liu Chong served as the son of the foreign state, and the minister has ordered that all of them be controlled, and the officials will release them from Kaifeng to wait for their fate. The palace of Julu County has been thoroughly monitored, and Liu Chengyun is in the mansion, restless, and panicked! Presumably, it must be that when he heard the Hedong incident, he was a thief with a weak heart......"

"Who let you make an arbitrary claim and detain the princes of the king of Taiyuan!" Hearing this, Liu Chengyou was angry and reprimanded.

Wang Jingchong was startled, and subconsciously knelt down: "Minister, minister just thinks it's ......"

"Why?" Liu Chengyou said: "Did you see that Li Shaoyou had made great contributions in Hedong and couldn't sit still?" ”

"Are you afraid that the matter of Hedong is not big enough, and it will spread to the world for me, so that the subjects will talk about it?" Liu Chengyou stared at Wang Jingchong coldly.

Liu Chong gave birth to more than a dozen sons, except for a few young ones, who grew up to be officials in various places. Seeing that the Son of Heaven was angry, Wang Jingchong secretly scolded himself for losing his mind, and hurriedly said: "The minister immediately ordered to release the capital!" ”

"Catch it all, and then let it go, will you slap it in the face?" Liu Chengyou said, after thinking about it for a while, he raised his finger and said, "Take them all back to Tokyo!" Remember, it's an escort, not a detention! ”

"Yes!"

"This Wang Jingchong has become more and more arbitrary and presumptuous, and before I have made a decision, he dares to detain the princes of Taiyuan as sinners and invite me to favor?" After he retreated, Liu Chengyou turned his head to look at Zhang Dejun.

Zhang Dejun buried his head and was a little afraid to answer.

"If you think about it, your heart can be punished!" In a word, Zhang Dejun trembled.

"It seems that the Imperial City Division should also be on the agenda......" said leisurely, and said to Zhang Dejun: "If I let you be an eagle dog minion for me, are you willing?" ”

Facing the deep and chilling gaze of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Dejun hurriedly responded: "The little one is a servant and lackey of the official family!" ”

"Huh." Liu Chengyou smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

Not long after, an attendant came to report again, saying that Liu Chengyun, the king of Julu County, asked to see him.

Liu Chengyun is Liu Chong's eldest son, Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan adopted as an adopted son, after the founding of the country, it was also regarded as favorable, at the beginning, in the clan, the authoritative position was second only to Liu Chong and Liu Xin.

In the second year of Qianyou, Liu Chengyou went north for winter patrol, and was affected by the "Yang Wei case", and was dismissed by Liu Chengyou and returned to quiet, and then stayed in Kaifeng, taking on the errand of Zongzheng, respecting the temple and managing the affairs of the royal family.

Liu Chengyun is not an ambitious person, he is generous and humble, less assertive, not smart, but interesting.

"Brother Yun, sit!" In the hall, Liu Chengyou had a kind attitude and looked at him. His expression was tired, his face was haggard, and his eyebrows were full of sorrow.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyun knelt down directly, and said with a crying voice: "Minister, please condemn Your Majesty!" ”

"Why is that?" Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately said: "Zhang Dejun, quickly help the king of the county up!" ”

Liu Chengyun couldn't afford to be stubborn, knocked his head on the ground, and said emotionally: "Your Majesty, my father was confused for a while, and he lost his mind because of ghosts, but he had misdeeds, and he was deeply guilty. The minister is brave, please remember that he is old and weak, for the sake of his uncle and nephew, spare his life, and let him enjoy his old age in peace! Please, take the blame for your father! ”

"Bang bang" a few times, Liu Chengyou noticed the blood mark on his forehead, Liu Chengyou looked stunned, and said: "Brother Yun, you have to remember that you are the son of the first emperor!" ”

"But the king of Taiyuan is the father of the ministers after all!" Liu Chengyun is already in tears.

To be honest, Liu Chengyun was not very happy about Liu Chengyun's request, or pleading. got up, walked in front of him, and asked flatly: "Where did you hear the gossip, what is the crime of the imperial uncle?" ”

Liu Chengyun asked slightly, raised his head, wiped his tears, looked at the emperor with a calm face in a daze, his voice was a little quieter, and said: "Between the government and the opposition, there are many rumors......

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou raised his hand and ordered someone to summon the scholar Li Fang, and ordered: "Go to the Guangzheng Hall immediately, let Feng Dao them, and warn me to the hundred officials, and it is strictly forbidden to talk about rumors and disorderly discussions, and those who violate them will be severely punished!" ”

"Yes!"

After the order, Liu Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief, personally helped Liu Chengyun up, and sighed: "Brother Yun, I know that you are loyal and filial, but you are soft-natured, and you have no other opinions, and you can't follow the clouds!" Anyway, Uncle Huang is my own uncle. You too, among family members, why do you make such a gesture and spread it out, and it is nothing to provoke criticism! ”

Listening to the emperor's kind words, Liu Chengyun's mood stabilized a little, and he arched his hand and said: "Minister Meng Lang lost his honor, please let Your Majesty take responsibility!" ”

"That's it!" Waving his hand, Liu Chengyou pointed at his forehead: "Clean up the wound, go back to the house to recuperate, everything, wait until the imperial uncle arrives in Tokyo!" ”

After Liu Chengyun stepped back, Liu Chengyou paced, shook his head slightly, and sneered.

"Official, the Queen Mother sent someone to ask, is the government affairs busy, can you have time to go to the Ciming Palace!" After thinking about it, Zhang Dejun reported.

"Let's go!" The Queen Mother called, how could Liu Chengyou not be, he immediately ordered to swing and said: "Even the Queen Mother was alarmed, you can imagine what kind of discussion is going on between the government and the opposition!" ”

More than two days later, Liu Chengyou learned that Li Shaoyou and his entourage had entered Zhengzhou, and he was anxious about Feng Dao and other important ministers, and said in a conclusive tone: "The king of Taiyuan has been guarding the east of the river for many years, and he feels that he is too old to be adopted, and he has gone south with his family, and the car and boat have passed through Zhengzhou!" ”

Looking at Feng Dao, Liu Chengyou ordered: "Feng Qing, you will go and greet you on my behalf!" ”

When the emperor said this, the shrewd ministers all heard the meaning of the words, Feng Dao got up and replied respectfully: "Yes!" ”

"In addition, you will discuss the matter of Hedong's military administration, criminal name, money and food, and supervision! The land of Longxing, the foundation of the emperor's industry, must be well restructured and reformed, and do not make mistakes......"
