Chapter 141: Female Might

With Liu Zhiyuan's edict to seal the king, the turmoil of the prince came to an abrupt end, as if there was a result. In fact, it is exactly like this, King Wei + Kaifeng Mansion Yin is basically the standard configuration of the heir, the title of King Wei is extremely important in this era, as for Kaifeng Mansion Yin, it is not something that ordinary people can do. It can even be guessed that Liu Zhiyuan has been vacant in this official position before, which is to measure the "suitable" candidate.

As for Liu Chengyou's knighthood and official addition, it is more like a comfort, adding a capital inspection on the basis of his original Zhongshu Order and Privy Deputy Envoy. However, the Beijing inspection is not an ordinary position.

Therefore, judging from Liu Zhiyuan's arrangement, there is room for improvement, and he still hesitates in his heart. However, judging from the results, Liu Chengxun has the upper hand. In the original history, after entering the Bian, only the eldest son Liu Chengxun was named the king of Wei and the king of Kaifeng, and there was no other son at all, so at that time, although Liu Chengxun did not have the name of the prince, he had the fact of the prince.

However, when Liu Chengyou's outlier came, the same gift did not have the effect of "foregoing". Compared with the different reactions of others, as the main leader, Liu Chengyou behaved very calmly, accepting the edict and thanking him, as if he was not affected in any way. However, secretly, he commented on Liu Zhiyuan's decision, which was not decisive enough, hesitated, and eventually failed.

Probably because he didn't speak for Liu Chengyou, Li had some "shame" in his heart, and called Liu Chengyou into the palace afterwards, Wen Yan comforted him, and explained earnestly. also used the stories of the Liang, Tang, and Jin dynasties to exhort Liu Chengyou, so that he could work with his father and brother to prosper the Han Dynasty and protect the country.

What about Liu Chengyou, what can he do in the face of his bitter mother? just calmly assured the Li family that for the sake of the family and country, he would put the overall situation first, and he would definitely do his best in the future, assist his father and brother, and dare not have excessive extravagance.

Liu Chengyou's strength made Li Shi surprised, looking at his "bitter" face, he only felt wronged him, and felt even more pity in his heart. When Liu Chengyou's statement spread, many people praised him for his wisdom and magnanimity. Even Liu Zhiyuan was a little puzzled, but after all, some people didn't believe what he said, such as Yang Wei.

However, Liu Chengxun, the eldest brother, was a little embarrassed when facing Liu Chengyou.

As autumn intensifies, the branches and leaves of all parts of Tokyo turn yellow in a subtle and silent way, and the garden in Liu Chengyu's house is the same, quietly, dyed with gold.

The plaque of the mansion has long been replaced, and the three strong characters of "Zhou Wangfu" are simple and simple, but they precipitate majesty and status.

During this period of time, the Han court fell into a short period of stability, Liu Chengyou in the imperial court, in addition to low-key counselors of military aircraft, the most important thing is to start the rectification of public security in Kaifeng, focusing on cracking down on murder, theft, robbery and other crimes, more than half a month, remarkable results. Although it is impossible to eradicate evil, a set of order based on the institutional framework has been re-established in the market. In this process, Liu Chengyou took control of a part of the inspection and forbidden army in Kaifeng City......

In the rare time of rest, in the increasingly cold autumn sun, Liu Chengyou fished on the edge of the "Ping Lake" in the back garden of the palace. Wrapped in a large black robe, with a hat on his head and a fishing rod in his hand. It is said to be fishing, but in fact it is just staring at the lake in a daze, the rippling autumn waves, layers of water lines, or very beautiful.

"Erlang! Your Highness! My Royal Highness King Zhou! With a hurried footstep, Li Shaoyou walked to Liu Chengyou's side, only glanced at it, and couldn't help but call anxiously.

"Tsk!" Liu Chengyou pursed his mouth, put down the fishing rod, looked back at him and complained: "Finally, a fish was hooked, and I was scared away by you!" ”

Li Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, looked at the calm lake, and then looked at the empty fish basket, raised his eyebrows, sat down cross-legged directly, and said: "It's all burning eyebrows, do you still have the leisure to fish here?" ”

"What's the matter that makes you so anxious?" Liu Chengyou glanced at him unexpectedly, and said calmly: "What wind did you hear again?" ”

"What's the matter!" Li Shaoyou's voice was a little louder: "You're going to be released out of town!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Today, the official family asked about the storage position again, and Yang Wei suggested to the official family that in order to avoid the situation of Shuanglong seizing the heir, put you out of one place, so as to eliminate the possibility of two sons fighting each other and killing each other!" Li Shaoyou replied.

Liu Chengyou's brows tightened, he didn't even receive any news of this. Turning his head to look at him, "Where did you hear that?" ”

Knowing what Liu Chengyou was wondering about, Li Shaoyou explained: "Not long ago, my father went to the palace to meet and heard it. I received the news here and immediately ran to tell you. ”

"Oh!" Liu Chengyou responded, his brows gradually stretched, and he said calmly: "This Yang Wei also dares to say anything, is it pampered and arrogant?" ”

Seeing his unhurried reaction, but he was a little anxious, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but say, "You're not in a hurry at all?" ”

"What's the use of being in a hurry?" Liu Chengyou asked rhetorically, with a faint thought on his face: "Where are you going to put me outside?" ”

"Chengde Festival! According to Yang Wei, when Youyan fights, he can send you north, where he can use you and give full play to your talents. ”

Not long ago, after adjusting the country and stabilizing the position of power, taking advantage of the high horse fat in autumn, the Liao lord Yelu Ruan collected all the troops and horses, waved his army south, and pointed his sword at Youyan. Tens of thousands of soldiers approached Jicheng.

Yan Wang Zhao Yanshou's side, I don't know where the courage came from, sent troops to fight, three thousand forwards, more than half of them were annihilated, and decisively retreated back to Youzhou, and the infant city was defended. While shrinking into defense, he hurriedly sent people south to ask for help. The messenger rode south as far as Tokyo.

In this regard, today's Han, Guanzhong, Zhongyuan, and Weibo have not been straightened out, and where can they have the spare energy to take care of Youyan's affairs. However, the northern border defense could not be completely ignored, so the imperial court had to be appeased with good words, and at the same time sent an edict to Zhang Yanwei, so that the troops along the border could provide timely support and limited support for Youyan.

Now, Yang Wei threw out this plan, and then linked it to the situation in the court, to a certain extent, it is indeed quite in line with Liu Zhiyuan's wishes.

"That's a great suggestion!" Liu Chengyou commented: "Left and right, the matter of Youyan was also made by me, let me clean it up, it's really the best of both worlds, it's more than one stone!" ”

Seeing that Liu Chengyou was still in the mood to sigh here, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but feel anxious for him: "You don't really plan to go to the north!" ”

His expression slowly became serious, and Liu Chengyou crossed his index fingers and pondered. Since entering Tokyo, Liu Chengyou has always kept a low profile, not making trouble, not making trouble, and letting his situation change, I will not move. But to get him out of town, away from the center of power, this is absolutely not allowed.

In Tokyo, there is a court and hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, which are the foundation of the country and must not be given up.

Don't look at Li Siyuan, Li Congke to Shi Jingjiao, including Liu Zhiyuan, they all counterattacked the central government with Fangzhen's soldiers, seized power, and ascended to the throne. But the hardships, risks and luck in the process are not ordinary. Even in this era, the local festival may be strong, but under normal circumstances, as long as there is no problem with the center, it is difficult to compete with the central government. From the Later Tang Dynasty to the Later Jin Dynasty, there was more than one Fangzhen rebellion, but in addition to those who succeeded in counterattacking, others such as Zhu Shouyin, Fan Yanguang, An Chongrong, Yang Guangyuan, etc., tried in vain to confront the central government with one town, but they all ended in failure.

From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present, the world has been in turmoil for decades, and the central dynasty has been constantly replaced, but this is actually a process of centralization of power by strong cadres and weak branches, although very slowly. To this day, although the local festival still holds great power in its hands, it is more than a step weaker than the strength of the center.

The foundation of the central government's strength lies in the forbidden army. In the original history, after the Later Han Dynasty, it was the forbidden army that could really determine the fortunes of the country, the imperial throne, and the imperial power. The Zhou Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty of the Song Dynasty were all changes of power within the forbidden army, and there was no matter of the rest of the towns at all, including Zhao Kuangyin's "cup of wine to release the military power", which was also the power of the senior generals of the forbidden army. As for eliminating the threat of local towns, collecting their elite soldiers, and controlling their grains, etc., it is also a matter of secondary importance.

Liu Chengyou's mind is very clear, so let him go to Tokyo and settle in Fang Town, he will never give in. In Tokyo, Liu Chengyou was at ease, and if the situation developed into an irreparable situation, he could also act as a hinder in the forbidden army. If he is squeezed out, then the situation will be completely out of his imagination and control.

I also have to admit that if Yang Wei wants to facilitate this matter, it is really a snake hitting seven inches, to the point, and it will definitely make Liu Chengyou feel pain in his spinal cord.

Liu Chengyou thought seriously, and Li Shaoyou didn't dare to disturb him, but when he saw that he came back to his senses, he asked, "How are you going to deal with it?" Listen to my father, the official family is tempted! ”

"I don't know if my mother knows about it." Liu Chengyou muttered, turned his head and looked directly at Li Shaoyou: "How long have you not entered the palace to greet the queen?" ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou's sudden words, Li Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted: "You mean, using your aunt-"

glaring at him fiercely, Liu Chengyou reprimanded: "It's too ugly, what is use?" Well? ”

With a sneer, Li Shaoyou gave himself a soft mouthful, and said, "I said something wrong." I went into the palace and greeted my aunt. ”

......

In the palace city, Liu Zhiyuan stood in front of a map, looking straight out. Guanzhong, Hedong, Central Plains, and Hebei, the territory of the Han Dynasty, which nominally belonged to him, is really not small, and they are all places where the emperor prospered. It's a pity, looking at the large and small states and towns scattered in the middle, Liu Zhiyuan's heart rose with the ambition and impulse to sweep everything away and return the power to the central government. It is estimated that since the Liang period, every emperor, whether mediocre or virtuous, has this heart.

However, I can only think about it in my heart, and at his age, I already have a feeling of powerlessness. For this period of time, he has been tired enough to manage and govern the government.

Today, only half of these territories are really controlled by the Han court. Hedong, Chengdeok, Hayang, East and West Gyeonggi and some scattered prefectures.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is here!" The voice of the chamberlain brought Liu Zhiyuan back to his senses.

It's a bit surprising that the Li family guards the women's way, and this place of governance has never set foot in it. He waved his hand and commanded, "Please come in." ”

Soon, the Li family walked in, saw Liu Zhiyuan, and directly made a big salute: "The concubine sees Your Majesty!" ”

At this time, Li's face was completely devoid of the usual gentleness, his face was cold, his phoenix eyebrows were frowning, and there was a kind of female power leaking momentum. It was rare to see the Li family in such a state, and Liu Zhiyuan muttered in his heart.

With a smile on his face, he picked up Li with his own hands, and Liu Zhiyuan asked, "Hurry up." What is the matter of finding me? Looking at your pale face, could it be that someone annoyed you and told me that he would definitely be punished heavily! ”

Standing up, Li's gaze pressed towards Liu Zhiyuan, his voice was slightly condensed, and he asked directly: "Does Your Majesty want to separate my mother and son?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Sanniang, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Does Your Majesty still want to deceive me?" Li asked: "I heard that you are going to send Erlang out of Beijing, do you want Erlang to go to the north before telling my mother?" ”

Li rarely got angry, but this anger, the look of gnashing his teeth with hatred, shocked Liu Zhiyuan. Where could Liu Zhiyuan not know what Li Shiqi was referring to, but when he heard her pick it out, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he pretended to be stupid: "What's the matter?" There must be traitors who are talking nonsense, don't be gullible. ”

The Li family ate Liu Zhiyuan's set, looked at him, and said strongly: "For the sake of the family and the country, Erlang is willing to make concessions, and there are still people who want to do persecution?" I don't care what those ministers say, if you want to separate my mother and son from each other, I don't agree! ”

But hearing his words, Liu Zhiyuan showed a little imperceptible wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and immediately denied it: "There is no such thing!" Erlang is also my son, whoever wants to separate my flesh and blood, I will not spare him! ”

"Is Your Majesty serious?" Li stared at Liu Zhiyuan directly.

Liu Zhiyuan shouted: "You have no jokes!" ”

After getting Liu Zhiyuan's assurance, the Li family gathered his momentum, showed him a smile as warm as spring, and bowed down to ask for guilt: "The concubine is reckless and angry, and her words are inappropriate, so please forgive the official." ”

But seeing that Li returned to this low posture, Liu Zhiyuan was a little angry in his heart, where could he blame him, sighed, held Li's shoulder, and said softly: "You and I are husband and wife, why do you need to be like this?" ”

Feng Mu swept around, the Li family was still the virtuous and reasonable queen, took a step back, and said goodbye: "The official family is busy with government affairs, and the concubine is inconvenient to disturb, so I will retire first." ”

"Well, go ahead."

After the Li family retreated, Liu Zhiyuan unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his head and sighed. After such persecution by the queen, he didn't have to be entangled, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, he was also hesitant to let Liu Chengyou out of town.

Liu Chengyou's departure from the town was over, and he was relieved to learn the news from the palace, at least he didn't have to spend any more brains and energy. Originally, he was ready, if Li persuaded him not to move, he would pretend to be sick, Liu Chengxun was sick, and he was not allowed to have a headache and brain fever. It's just that he seems to have underestimated the influence of the Li family on Liu Zhiyuan.

Although he avoided this matter lightly, Liu Chengyou hated Yang Wei more and more. From an objective point of view, Yang Wei did this, just acting from a different position, and there was no big mistake, and he did not put Liu Chengyou to death. However, how could Liu Chengyou stand in his position and think about the problem?

And Yang Wei, when he learned about this situation, he secretly said that it was a pity. At the same time, I couldn't help but say two sentences in a row, "The woman's opinion, the chicken is in the morning". Of course, what made him even more depressed was that Liu Chengxun also had an opposition to this matter.
