Chapter 154: Southern Tang Comes to Envoy 1
Although it was daytime, the palace room, the palace and the terrace were not much more lively than at night, and the surroundings were in a tranquil place, serious but not depressing. In the Chongzheng Palace, which was renamed not long ago, leaning on the food table, Liu Chengyou was eating, and there was the tofu he liked to eat.
In his arms, he was still holding his eldest son Liu Xu, a nine-month-old baby, who could be lifted with one hand, but it grew open and felt relatively solid. Although it is in infancy, it inherits the excellent genes of its parents, and it is very cute.
Liu Chengyou doesn't know how to hold children, but in his father's arms, Brother Liu is very quiet, not noisy, not noisy, not struggling, and completely looks at ease. A pair of dark eyes, very smart, staring at Liu Chengyou's chin.
Suddenly giggling twice, Liu Chengyou lowered his head, looked at the child's white and tender smile, and couldn't help but show a relaxed smile: "What, you want to eat too?" ”
As he spoke, he leaned a small piece of soft tofu between the chopsticks to his mouth, and the interesting thing is that Brother Liu really cooperated to open his mouth, revealing his pink gums. Seeing this, Li Po, who was waiting next to her, was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "The official family is slow, you can't give Brother Qin a mess!" ”
The fierce appearance of the words slightly startled Liu Chengyou, and the tofu between the chopsticks almost shook off. He stuffed a mouthful of tofu into his mouth, chewed two bites, and said, "It's okay, I'm just playing with this child!" ”
"The old woman rushed into the official family, please forgive the official family!" Seeing this, the old woman came back to her senses and said cautiously.
"What a sin!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "Po Li, you take care of Brother Qin, but you are extra attentive, you should be rewarded!" ”
"Xie Guan's family!" Although the old woman's face was happy, her tone and movements were calm.
"Okay, I've seen it!" Liu Chengyou handed the child to her and instructed: "Take Brother Qin back to Renming Palace!" ”
"Yes!"
When the old woman retreated with the child in her arms, Liu Chengyou quickly retracted, shaved food in his mouth three or two times, and after the meal, he picked up a piece of music and read it, a piece of music from Xuzhou from Xuzhou.
"Your Majesty!" The people who knocked in front of the palace were Guo Wei and Wei Renpu.
"Erqing sits!" Liu Chengyou commanded, his eyes lingered on the two humble expressions for a moment, and asked, "Why didn't Wang Shumi come?" ”
The two of them glanced at each other, and Guo Wei said: "Back to Your Majesty, Wang Shumi went to check the cane register of the Huazhou Forbidden Army, and he has not yet returned to Beijing!" ”
"Oh!" Liu Chengyou responded, disappreciated, and picked up a letter of recital from a separate visit on the imperial case, and said to the two: "The second secretary can't see the training of the forbidden army outside Beijing from the Wang Shumi's office!" ”
"Wei Qing wants to come, and he knows it even more!" Liu Chengyou also deliberately glanced at Wei Renpu.
The two shouted in unison: "Yes!" ”
Guo Wei looked at ease and calmly responded: "The performance prepared by Wang Shumi, it is thoughtful, and there is no omission, and the ministers think that it is very appropriate!" ”
"I see it that way, too!" Liu Chengyou said leisurely: "I have given instructions, so I will start to rectify according to this, starting with the Huazhou garrison. Cooperate well with the guard division, and plan to send a change of defense army. ”
To transfer the forbidden army abroad, of course, it has to be transferred from the horse infantry army under the guard division, and there are many troops.
"Hmm......" After a pause, Liu Chengyou added: "This time, Wei Qing needs to do his best to bother!" ”
Wei Renpu was slightly stunned when he heard this, but his strong psychological quality made him calm enough to respond.
Liu Chengyou is planning to help Wei Renpu, Guo Wei is beside him, and he can see it clearly. Thinking in his heart, the Privy Council already has him and Wang Jun, and looked at Liu Chengyou, the Son of Heaven should not add any more fire to it......
Under the blue sky and white sun, the city of Tokyo is full of people, although it is not comparable to the succession, but it is also lively. A market, located in the bustling part of the market, is quite stylishly decorated, and the business is prosperous when people come and go.
"The owner of this wine shop, the backer must be hard enough!" In the elegant room, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes with a handsome and extraordinary bearing looked like he was playing with a celadon wine glass, sweeping the scene outside the window and hall, and said.
"How can Han Gong see it?" Sitting across from him, a young man with a short beard, asked curiously.
"The drinkers who come to the door are too regular!" The surname Han is middle-aged, and he responds casually, his eyes seem to be deep, and the corners of his mouth are slightly proud.
This middle-aged Han surnamed is Han Xizai, this time from the Xuanzhou Festival to promote the official position, by the Tang lord Li Jing, appointed as an envoy, went north to Tokyo, and sent the Han Dynasty.
But when Liu Zhiyuan was in power, he didn't have much scruples about the south, so that the Southern Tang Dynasty bargained for some cheapness, and from time to time he dared to shout to advance into the Central Plains and restore the old capital. But when Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, although he deceived his young master in power and made many moves, he never got a big bargain.
Especially after Liu Chengyou was in the middle of the river, not to mention begging for cheapness, he suffered a loss. On the front line of Lianghuai, it was originally the Tang army that invaded from time to time, but as the situation of the Han Dynasty gradually stabilized, the country gradually became peaceful, and it was adjusted. Now it is the Han army on the front line of Huaibei, free up their hands, from time to time to the south to loot, Huainan is a rich place, just grab something, it is enough to be poor enough to jingle the Han army comfortable for a while.
A while ago, Wan Dare, the king of the Mizhou assassin of the Han Dynasty, and Guo Qiong, the assassin of Yizhou, asked Zhao to go south to fight the Tang thieves, capture and burn them, and return with a full load. Seeing that the situation was not right, and the partial security attribute on the side of the Southern Tang Dynasty was committed, and it was not pleasing to him, Li Jing planned to reconcile, and sent Han Xizai to the north with the intention of repairing the relationship between the two countries.
Han Xizai was degraded in the party struggle with Song Qiqiu and Feng Yansi for three years, and this time he was entrusted with the important task of making Han.
Thinking of this, Han Xizai thought of the court situation in Jinling again, and his brows couldn't help frowning. Although he was in Xuanzhou before, he has been thinking about the situation in the DPRK, although Song and Feng Yidang have also been reprimanded, but recently there have been many reappointments, Song Qiqiu and Feng Yansi are still in the place, but the party members of the two are still powerful, and Li Jing wants to use him Han to balance the power of the court.
"Hey......" sighed leisurely.
"Why did Han Gong sigh?" The young man in the oblique collar brocade next to him was the deputy envoy who accompanied him to the north.
Of course, he didn't say what he was worried about, Han Xizai smiled faintly, picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of spring bamboo shoots, chewed it, and it seemed to taste good. However, he was still proud, and diverted the topic in a commenting tone: "The wine shop here, the wine is good, the food is good, but this wine shop is too superficial and elegant!" ”
"Han Gong is handsome and elegant, such a scene can't enter the eyes of Han Gong!" The deputy envoy pursed his lips, as if sarcastic.
This deputy envoy belongs to the Song Party. Li Jing's employment is not forgetting to balance and dilute the mud.
"It's just that considering the responsibilities of this northward trip, I don't dare to forget my worries!" Han Xizai glanced at the deputy envoy proudly and said lightly.
At the mention of this, the deputy envoy looked unhappy: "Emperor Han is really a northern barbarian, he doesn't know how to pay respects, we have been in Kaifeng for so long, and he is still hanging us." ”
"I heard that the Han Emperor was diligent in government, maybe people are busy with military affairs, how can they have time to meet us? Take the initiative to come to the door and breathe in a low voice! Han Xizai is not salty or indifferent.
When the deputy envoy heard this, he was not happy: "The envoy is His Majesty's edict, could it be that Han Gong is dissatisfied!" ”
"How dare you?" Seeing the members of the different party, he casually buttoned his hat, Han Xizai didn't care, but his attitude was disdainful.
"Are we just waiting in Kaifeng?" The lieutenant's tone was impatient.
"Or else?" Han Xizai's tone was still lacking: "What's the use of being in a hurry?" ”
"Humph!" The deputy envoy snorted lightly: "Han Gong is not in a hurry, otherwise how would he have the leisure to linger in this Kaifeng market every day!" ”
