Chapter Ninety-Eight: Wooing
If it weren't for Wei Dan's assassination, Li Chun would not have been polite to the people in the rivers and lakes even if he had Liu Changyi's care. After all, the use of chivalry to prohibit by force is a big headache for the rulers of previous dynasties. However, after the events of Wei Dan and Bianzhou, Li Chun was much more polite to the chivalry. For example, now, Li Chun, who has completed his trip to Bianzhou, easily wants to chat with Lang Jun, who is armed and grinding mirrors.
"Sir. What was the Assassin like that night? ”
"It's about the same as empty."
Lang Jun, who was sitting on Li Chun's body, was expressionless, and he didn't talk much, which made Li Chun couldn't help but be annoyed. He didn't even know who Sora was. However, Li Chun's cultivation is still very good, and he did not show his anger on his face.
When Li Chun went to Bianzhou. Liu Changyi's residence in Luoyang ushered in an acquaintance, Hou Weiqing, the general of Huaixi. Hou Weiqing was the envoy sent by Wu Shaocheng to Luoyang to see the prince. Since the prince was not there, Hou Weiqing followed Wu Shaocheng's instructions and found Liu Changyi, who had a good relationship with Huaixi. Huaixi's envoy Liu Changyi didn't want to see him, but after hearing that it was Hou Weiqing, Liu Changyi smiled and ordered to open the door to greet him.
Huaixi is not monolithic, not everyone has ambitions, and not everyone can continue to be loyal to Wu Shaocheng in a difficult situation - after Wu Shaocheng's death, wasn't Wu Yuanqing killed by Wu Shaoyang, whom he had always regarded as a brother? Aren't these feudal towns a living example of how to get the allegiance of their subordinates, and when they have the chance, there will always be people who rise up to fight for power?
Liu Changyi has been neighbors with Huaixi, who is known to everyone, for many years, and has maintained friendly relations with Wu Shaocheng for four or five years, and it can be said that he is very familiar with the situation in Huaixi, especially the personnel situation. Wu Shaocheng is really a fucking talent, and he really has nothing to say about the tight control of Huaixi. But he controls people, and people are not dead things. The arrival of Hou Qingyuan made Liu Changyi feel that he had encountered a pillow when he was sleepy.
Compared with Chang'an, life in Luoyang is much more leisurely and exquisite. So, Liu Changyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, set up a table of exquisite side dishes in his home to entertain Hou Qingyuan. Of course, this table of side dishes is delicate and affordable at the same time, and the meat slices are white. Hou Wei, who had been a vegetarian for a long time, swept away the food on the table as cleanly as the wind. When Hou Weiqing was eating, Liu Changyi sat on the side and looked at him with a smile, like an old man looking at his son-in-law, which made Hou Qingyuan, who occasionally raised his head, feel furious. After eating, Hou Weiqing wiped his mouth, patted his belly, and said:
"Lord Shangshu, the junior general has not eaten such a sumptuous banquet for a long time."
Liu Changyi asked the maid to refill the tea and stepped back, and said with a smile:
"General Hou will stay in Luoyang for a few more days, and the old man can still afford such a meal."
Hou Weiqing's face suddenly became sad, and he said:
"Shangshu can save the young general from starving, can't he save Huaixi from starving?"
Liu Changyi said in his heart, here. A worried expression immediately appeared on his face, and he repeated it several times, and got up and muttered:
"The old man has a friendship with Huaixi, why don't you want to save the people of Huaixi from hunger? However, it was not the old man who could save Huaixi, but Wu Dashuai. ”
••••••
The two Academy Award-level actors got what they wanted after staging a good drama that they got lost and understood the righteousness. Hou Weiqing left Liu Changyi's mansion with satisfaction, of course, due to the special identity of the two, although Hou Qingyuan made a big detour, he still couldn't escape being targeted. There are many pairs of eyes watching this one in and one out. When Nie Yinniang told Liu Changyi about what she had observed, Liu Changyi said nonchalantly:
"Let it be."
After Li Chun returned to Luoyang, he really summoned Zheng Yuqing, Liu Changyi, Wei Xiaqing, Li Ting, Cui Qun, Wang Ya and others, but Li Chun and the others didn't ask Liu Changyi any questions at all, but only reported the situation of the trip to Bianzhou and the relevant military and political situation. This feeling of being trusted is really uncomfortable, so when it was Liu Changyi's turn to report, Hou Weiqing's name was naturally said, slightly proud. When Liu Changyi came out, he had the same psychology as Hou Weiqing.
When Hou Weiqing left Luoyang and returned to Huaixi, he took 1,000 rice and two conditions. One is that rice is used to help the people, not for the army, but if Wu Shaocheng can reduce the army and give up the military and political power in Huaixi, relief will continue to come.
Of course, Wu Shaocheng scoffed, and a thousand rice was immediately sent to the barracks. However, Wu Shaocheng agreed to the second condition, and said:
"That's good, let's cut off the hundreds of disabled and old people we have settled in Shenzhou, as well as the soldiers who have died in the past six months, and let the little prince send us food!"
Wild laughter swept through the lobby. Wu Yuanqing smiled the most. But there are others who are happier than them. In a room in the Wu Mansion, a dignified-looking young man was performing a primitive piston movement on a plump beauty. Huaixi's things may be old, making the bed squeak one after the other, and the tent will keep shaking. After a long time, the depressed * drew a rest, and a white thigh hung down softly.
After a while, the man had already appeared outside the lobby, sitting in the side hall and waiting. But his thoughts drifted to the wonderful body, so that others shouted a few times and didn't hear it, until Wu Shaocheng shouted:
"Xianyu Xiong'er, are you going to die?"
Only then did he come back to his senses and ran out in a panic to serve Wu Shaocheng.
However, Wu Shaocheng obviously underestimated the prince's IQ, and the prince's method was to send officials to supervise, but to ask Wu Shaocheng to send the reduced sergeants to Luoyang, and he would arrange it, which was called to reduce the burden on Huaixi. was so angry that Wu Shaocheng scolded endlessly. Sure enough, as the crow-beaked emperor Li Yu expected, there was a great flood after the drought. Jianghuai initiated the Great Flood. Unlike other regions, Huaixi, which has built water conservancy on a large scale in the past two years, is really in dire straits.
In July, the capital of Annan protected Zhang Zhou, broke the barbarian ring king with 30,000 people, and asked to continue to immigrate to Annan. Due to the influence of sea trade and Champa rice, the impression of Lingnan in people's hearts at this time has changed. In order to strengthen the leadership of Lingnan and speed up the development of Lingnan, Pei Yan proposed that Yang Yuling, the head of the household department, be the envoy of Lingnan. At the same time, the decision was also made: Li Jiang, a scholar of Hanlin Scholars, was appointed as the head of the household department, and Xue Ping, the general of Zuolong Wuwei, was appointed as the envoy of the Zhongwu (Chen Xu) army. Shi Hantai, the governor of Yangzhou, returned to Luoyang as Shaoyin. With Jinwu general Li Weijian as the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival. The original Fengxiang Festival made Li Yufeng transfer back to Beijing and was appointed. At the same time, Li Yu decided that Du You, who was in better health, would rejoin the peace of affairs.
