Han Shizu

Chapter 1035 Still Steady

In the Guangzheng Hall, seeing the silence, all the officials present were ministers who had close contacts with the emperor on weekdays, and they knew a lot about the emperor's temperament. Liu Chengyou basically understood what he meant when he spoke.

However, no one responded to his proposal for a while, and the person who looked like Dou Yi showed obvious hesitation on his face.Glancing at all the ministers, Liu Chengyou smiled slightly: "Why, you have doubts? If you have different opinions, it's okay to speak up!"

Dou Yi has always been a person who dares to speak up. Hearing the sound, he said directly: "Your Majesty, the Jiangnan area was first settled, and the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen were not appeased. Now the situation is good. If the order to relocate the rich is issued, I am only afraid that the Jiangnan area will be repeated! Your Majesty will attack with a large army, maintain strict military discipline, and protect the people, so that the soldiers and people in the south of the Yangtze River will be less likely to suffer from the flames of war. Now that the prefectures and counties have surrendered but have not been attached, it is not appropriate to make a big move, so as not to cause chaos and harm the local area!"

Dou Yi gave a very clear attitude of opposition. Hearing this, Liu Chengyou gave him a look, and said in a slightly flat tone: "Why are you afraid of repeating? Why are there turmoil? How many people are there in the south of the Yangtze River compared to the Li Shu in Jiangnan? Even if there is turmoil, how is it compared to the chaos in Sichuan and Sichuan?"

Emperor Liu's questions became colder and tougher each sentence, and his resolute will was fully revealed from the front of the words.Dou Yi also had no fear on her face, and she cupped her hands in response: "Your Majesty, the Sichuan-Shu chaos caused tens of thousands of casualties, and the loss of food and wealth was even worse. So far, there are still leftovers that have not been recovered. Does your majesty want to use the Sichuan-Shu chaos to recreate Jiangbiao?" ?”

"Presumptuous!" At this time, Sun Yanjun, the servant next to him, reprimanded: "Shangshu Dou, are you going to offend me?"

After saying this, old Dou Yi raised her eyebrows and looked at the eunuch contemptuously, but before he could speak, Emperor Liu said coldly: "Shut up! What is this place, do you have the right to speak?"

Liu Chengyou's eyes were cold and his tone was serious, which startled Sun Yanyun. Without thinking about it, he fell to his knees with a plop, bowed his head and said, "I'm so reckless and talkative, please be punished by the officials!"

Liu Chengyou didn't continue to talk to the old eunuch, and looked away, but his expression was still unkind, and he looked at Dou Yi.However, Dou Yi was still full of austerity, righteousness, and no timidity.Seeing this, Liu Chengyou's face softened, and he smiled lightly: "What Qing Dou said, you will become a country, but I think you are worrying too much. Now the army is in the south, the military discipline is strict, and there is no infringement on the soldiers and the people. Why are you afraid of the recurrence of the chaos in Sichuan and Shu? Besides, with the great Han soldiers there, are you afraid that you will not be able to control the violence and put an end to the chaos?"

Emperor Liu's words obviously couldn't convince Dou Yi. Seeing that he was about to speak, Liu Chengyou didn't intend to listen to it. He looked at Wei Renpu who hadn't expressed his opinion yet, and said, "What do you think of Wei Qing?"

Unlike Dou Yi, Wei Renpu remonstrated directly against Yan Yan, and after a little consideration, he cupped his hands and asked Emperor Liu: "When does your majesty plan to move the throne?"

As a veteran minister who had followed Emperor Liu for more than ten years, Wei Renpu knew him well. Although he was not as good as Tao Gu and others, he liked to guess the emperor's thoughts, but he knew what could be persuaded and how to persuade him.

The intention of relocating a hero is obvious and firm, and it cannot be persuaded by a few words of these ministers. Therefore, Wei Renpu did not entangle in the issue of relocation or not, but directly considered specific relocation matters. How to do this on the basis of stabilizing law and order and reducing turmoil, the key lies in the timing of the migration, I am afraid that the emperor will be too impatient.

Recently, because of the rapid progress in the south and the imminent reunification, Emperor Liu has shown unusual impatience. Although it is not out of his wits, it is still not a good sign.Of course, Emperor Liu is not the only one who has such a mentality, but under the current Han system, Emperor Liu's will has too much influence on the country and society.

Hearing Wei Renpu's question, Liu Chengyou was really pleasant, and his eyes clearly said: These are what you should consider.Although he had a plan in mind, Liu Chengyou still made a gesture of accepting the group's discussion, and said to Wei Renpu: "When does Wei Qing think it can be implemented?"

Hearing the emperor's response, Wei Renpu heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Liu Chengyou's tone was not eager for success.With a calmer expression, Wei Renpu said: "I think that appeasement should be the first priority at the moment, and we can start when the Han system is implemented and the military and government are first stabilized!"

Probably because he felt that his answer was too general to satisfy the emperor, Wei Renpu continued: "In my humble opinion, the longest is nine months, and the shortest is half a year. Jiangnan will be governed, and there is no need to worry about repeating it!"

As far as Wei Renpu's opinion is concerned, it is also very clear that he hopes to proceed step by step, so that it is safe, does not worry about chaos, minimizes fluctuations, and maintains local order.

In addition, Wei Renpu also understood the purpose of the emperor's relocation of the emperor. It was essentially the same as that in Sichuan and Shu. Breaking its original hierarchical system and strengthening the imperial court's control and influence over Jiangnan would also relieve its social pressure. Contradictions, you can see the benefits to the rule of the Han Dynasty, so unlike Dou Yi, Wei Renpu chose to support.Wei Renpu has never been a person who voted unconditionally to cater to the emperor. If it is not good for the country, he will also persuade him.

The difference from the time in Sichuan and Shu was that fierce and cruel methods were used to rectify that time. Regarding Jiangnan, Emperor Liu planned to use softer methods.Of course, it is conceivable that when the power of the imperial court is imposed on those local tyrants, they will not feel soft.

After some serious thinking, Liu Chengyou felt that it was really unrealistic to start a large-scale operation before this year, unless he really wanted to completely tear down and rebuild like Shuzhong, regardless of good or bad, high or low.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou said: "Just as Wei Qing said! If you want peace and order, the first thing is to select officials. In this matter, you must not relax!"

Hearing what he said, Dou Yi, who was in charge of the Ministry of Officials, bowed her hands and promised: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Officials has selected 110 and seven officials from Jiangbei, and went to Jinling to wait for arrangements. In addition, the special envoy for investigation has also gone south to cooperate with the Jiangnan Daosi. Evaluate the old officials! As for the appointment of the head of Liangjiang Division, His Majesty still needs instructions!"

Liu Chengyou nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Change Jinling to Jiangning Mansion, let Li Fang have the power over Jiangning Mansion's affairs, and Zhong Mo have the power over Liang Jiang's envoys! As for Lingnan, let Li Tao go south to Panyu and have the power over his political affairs!"

Basically, the land of the Southern Tang Dynasty was roughly divided into Jiangnan and Jiangxi, but in a short period of time, military and political management was still unified.The same is true in Southern Guangdong, the war has not yet completely subsided, and there is no need to plan carefully.

"Jiangnan is a place of great wealth and taxation, and the duties of wealth management and transshipment are particularly important. Who should be in charge?" Liu Chengyou asked again.

Regarding this, Dou Yi did not avoid suspicion at all, and proposed a candidate: "Your Majesty, I think Yan Jinqing, the envoy of the former three ministers, can take up this position!"

"How is Yan Qing's health?" Liu Chengyou asked.

Dou Yi replied: "The minister has sent people to express condolences, and he has recovered. He can serve as a secretary and serve the country!"

"Then Yan Qing will be appointed!" Liu Chengyou made a decision.

As he said that, he looked at Lei Dexiang who was sitting there quietly, and Liu Chengyou ordered: "The third division should also send people south to Jinling and Panyu as soon as possible to examine the finances and taxes, clear up the population and land, and re-register and make books!"

"Yes! I have already selected the personnel, and I just need to be arranged by the order!" Because of his seniority, Lei Dexiang seemed particularly obedient, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.

"Li Yu and others, have you set off on the road yet?" Liu Chengyou asked suddenly.

Wei Renpu replied: "The Li family and Jinling courtiers total 240 or six families. They have already been ordered to go north. Before December, they should be able to go to Tokyo!"

"What about the mansion for Li Yuxiu?" With a slight smile, Liu Chengyou asked Murong Yanchao: "The former has repeatedly invited him to Tokyo as a guest, but he is unwilling. This time, I am still willing to treat him as a guest!"

Murong Yanchao said: "On the shore of Bian River, across the street and looking at Zhao Guogong's mansion, it is enough to house his family!"

Heaving a sigh of relief, Liu Chengyou said to Wei Renpu again: "Wei Qing, this time Pingnan, Wu Yue not only sent troops, horses, chariots and boats, but also provided grain and military supplies. He has made great contributions. Wang Shi has succeeded, and in the name of the court, invite him to come to Beijing!"
