Chapter 393: Paddock
Cai Yan's tent is delicate and luxurious, and the red candles have burned out, and only a few candlesticks remain. As the night faded away, the tent was still a little dim, but a faint light was visible. The weather is slowly getting hotter, and the two people on the couch are only covered with a thin layer of silk quilt, which can't hide the spring light on the couch.
woke up early again, in the past two years, Liu Yuan's sleep has become shallower and shorter, and he can be woken up from his deep sleep with a little wind and grass.
"What time is it?" Asked externally.
"Back to Your Majesty, the hour will pass!" The voice of the guard's guard was heard.
Looking down at Cai Yan in his arms, his face was clean and flawless, his jade hand was leaning on his chest, delicate and soft, and he couldn't help but reach out and stroke his face for a while. Cai Yan is now the best age, and his body and temperament have grown to the most beautiful stage.
Looking at the top of the tent, Liu Yuan sighed slightly, although he often said that he was old and showed his spaciousness, but Liu Yuan was actually different. He still refuses to accept old age, but the state affairs are complicated, and he is overworked, Liu Yuan knows that his body is not as healthy as it seems.
"Your Majesty!" Cai Yan opened his misty eyes, looked up at Liu Yuan, and called in a low voice.
"Hmm!" Liu Yuan responded a little perfunctorily, and subconsciously pressed his left hand on one of Cai Yan's organs and rubbed it.
With a little blush on his face, Cai Yan leaned on Liu Yuan's shoulder and hugged his neck: "Yu'er has reached the age of entering school, is Your Majesty looking for a teacher for him?" ”
"Is it too early to be five or six years old?" Turning his head and glancing at Cai Yan, he asked lightly, "Do you have a candidate in mind?" ”
Biting his lip, Cai Yan said in a low voice: "Father, I want to teach Yu'er personally." ”
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Liu Yuan's eyes, and he quickly disappeared without a trace. After pondering for a while, Liu Yuanfang said: "It is the blessing of Yu'er to have Master Cai personally teach, so let's do it." The old man starts school to teach apprentices, and it doesn't hurt to have a little more child, and he can educate a humble gentleman for the royal family, and I am happy to see it. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"You go back to sleep, I'm up!" To put it simply, Liu Yuan's mind was completely sober, he couldn't lie down, and got up.
Regardless of the leakage of spring, Cai Yan sorted out the lining for Liu Yuan. Putting on a black robe and kissing Cai Yan on the forehead, Liu Yuan bypassed the huge screen, went out of the tent, and went back to the imperial tent.
Before dawn, the camp was very quiet, dotted with pots of fire. Walking slowly in light clothes, the passing night guards all stopped to salute, and the closer they got to the imperial tent, the more dense they became.
"Someone, hold the lamp!" As soon as he returned to the imperial tent, Liu Yuan commanded in a deep voice.
Immediately, there were eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting, and the candles in the tent were lit one by one, and the royal tent was illuminated.
On top of the bronze case, piles of pieces were neatly arranged, and even during this patrol period, it was difficult for Liu Yuan to get rid of the labor of military affairs. Taking a deep breath, he spread out a fold, and Liu Yuan read it intently.
"Get closer!" The vision was still a little dim, and Liu Yuan couldn't help but instruct the eunuch beside him.
There was still a period of time before dawn, the imperial tent was illuminated yellow, and the figure of Liu Yuan's pen reply was reflected on the tent cloth.
......
Early the next morning, Liu Yuan met with the chief officials of the counties in Hedong in the camp. As the emperor of Great Xia, the officials of the world, some officials at the level of border counties have never seen Liu Yuan, not to mention these seven-rank orders and chiefs.
To be able to meet the legendary emperor, a cadre, etc., is both apprehensive and excited. Liu Yuan is not as brutal and wolfish as the outside world promotes, or as they imagined, but is a little gentle and elegant, and his every move shows the demeanor of an emperor.
Haosheng encouraged the Hedong officials, talked about life with them, talked about ideals, and enjoyed the monarchs and ministers.
After staying in Anyi for three days, the royal car traveled north again, this time going straight to Lishi, entering Yunzhou, and approaching Meiji.
After more than 20 years of continuous development, the potential of the Pearl has been fully tapped. Even if many people were relocated by Liu Yuan into the customs, there were still hundreds of thousands of people in each county. The Hetao, centered on Meiji, is one of the most important areas of the Xia Kingdom, comparable to Bingzhou and Guanzhong.
Not only because of Liu Xia's rise in the Hetao, but also because of the military and economic importance that has increased over time, especially after moving the capital to Chang'an, the status of the northern Xia State has become more prominent.
In recent years, Liu Yuan has guarded Yunzhou, stabilized the northern frontier, eaten and clothed, worked hard, and fulfilled the duties of a minister, and never had the intention of repaying grievances.
When Wang Rou, who was full of silver threads, fell to the ground, Liu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "I haven't seen you for many years, Uncle Yougong, hard work, you still need to cherish it!" ”
Looking at Wang Rou's old appearance, Liu Yuan's heart was rarely touched. Wang Ze has been transferred back to Chang'an, and Wang Rou and Liu Yuan also intend to let him step down from Yunzhou Assassin History.
In addition to sympathizing with his hard work, he also did not rule out the suspicion in Liu Yuan's heart. Yunzhou is too important to connect with Mo Nan and connect the regions of the Xia Kingdom. This is not a county and a county, if people live in this important position all the year round, Liu Yuan will not be at ease, even if he is Wang Rou, an old minister who has served Liu Yuan for more than 20 years and has proved his loyalty.
But with Wang Rou and Xia Guo, who can Liu Yuan replace him? This is not for Liu Yuan not to think deeply. Xia Guo does have a lot of talents now, but there are not many who have the qualifications and ability to reassure Liu Yuan.
Wu Yue, Liu Qiu, Chang Lin, Su Li, Dugu Sheng, Min Chun...... A string of names flashed in Liu Yuan's mind, but they all made Liu Yuan a little uncertain. If you want to find a reassuring one, with Liu Yuan's mentality now, it is really a bit difficult.
......
After entering May, Liu Yuan arrived at the Dongsheng enclosure. In the early years, the grasslands within a radius of more than 100 miles were divided into Liu Yuan's exclusive hunting places, and the original guards were trained in this grassland.
It's been about ten years, Liu Yuan hasn't set foot in the grassland, and when he returns to the grassland, Liu Yuan is really emotional. Although it was a royal hunting ground, in the years when he went south, Liu Yuan also allowed the Xia people to graze in it, and when the royal driver came to the front, the people under him drove out a large number of herdsmen, while affecting His Majesty's hunting.
The camp was set up around the guards of the year, looking at the long-repaired generals, familiar and unfamiliar, Liu Yuan felt very cordial.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Yuan relaxed in the paddock, he had not galloped on the prairie for a long time, and the wanton running was so pleasant.
Liu Yuan's golden eagle flew through the sky, the eagle was dead, this was a new generation.
Lying on his side on the desk, chewing dried fruits, drinking wine, and comfortably observing the image of "singing and dancing" in the camp. During this time in the paddock, Liu Yuan was very happy.
