Han Shizu

Chapter 1044
"Officials, Lu Chengzhi seeks an audience!" When Liu Chengyou's thoughts drifted back, Yan Tuo came to report.

"Xuan!" Liu Chengyou ordered with a wave of his hand.

Soon, Lu Yin entered the hall to meet him. He was covered in cold dew and his face was covered with wind and frost. It was obvious that he had returned from going out.Looking at Lu Yin, Liu Chengyou immediately ordered someone to serve a bowl of hot soup, then moved his feet, and asked with a smile: "Tianhan, there is still a lot of hot water left, do you want Lu Qing to soak together?"

After running around on business for a while, my feet were stiff and cold from the cold. I noticed Emperor Liu's happy expression, and after listening to his words, my body was naturally yearning, but I still thanked him politely: "Your Majesty's kindness, I appreciate it." , Chen Te came back to his life!"

"Those civil servants in the south of the Yangtze River have settled down?" Liu Chengyou was more or less just thinking about it, and then asked about the business.

"Return to Your Majesty, I will arrange to live here temporarily. The matter of settling down will depend on the follow-up appointment!" Lu Yin replied.

Li Yu's family received special treatment, but the resettlement work of the civil servants and their families who accompanied him to the north was not so meticulous. More than 200 Jiangnan ex-officials, with the size of Kaifeng, even if the number is increased by ten times, it can be easily accommodated, but it will take some time to implement it quickly and properly.

As for Lu Yin, as a scholar of Chongzheng Palace, he accepted the decree and went to condolences and entertain them on behalf of Emperor Liu.After thinking about it, Liu Chengyou asked: "How is their situation? How are their emotions? Do you have any complaints against the court?"

Lu Yin recalled a little bit, and said: "The minister who was surrendered was moved to Beijing, and he was unavoidably terrified. He recalled the past, and looked at it from the minister's point of view. He was at a loss and worried about the future!"

"Understandable!" Liu Chengyou smiled lightly and said, "Inform the Kaifeng Mansion, and try to take care of these Nanchen as much as possible. After all, we invite them to Tokyo, so it's not good to ignore them. Where they are at a loss, they are probably also there." After entering the Han Dynasty, we should give them a reassurance!"

Hearing this, Lu Yin took the initiative to ask for instructions: "I wonder when His Majesty will summon them?"

Previously, when Shu officials came to Beijing, Emperor Liu even hosted a special banquet to entertain them. Now that Tang officials are coming from the north, they will not favor one over another.However, Liu Chengyou did not answer directly, but asked: "Three generations of the Li family, Daxing culture and education, educated scholars, so that the literature in the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, and it is the best in China. According to the Jinling court, all the poets and ministers are good at essays and Fu, and they are clear and eloquent. Theory, but less than the facts, in your opinion, is it so?"

Facing Emperor Liu's question, Lu Yin replied: "There are indeed many ministers in the south of the Yangtze River, but if you generalize it, it is also biased. I think that there must be many talents in the more than two hundred court officials in Jinling. Thinking about the early days of the country , all over the country, anyone who can read and write can be entrusted with official positions, let alone these educated people? If you despise them, why does your majesty establish schools and emphasize imperial examinations?
The vastness of China, the customs and culture, how can they be unified, the land in the south of the Yangtze River has become the land of the Han, and the scholars and people in the south of the Yangtze River have become the subjects of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty only needs to be compatible and use them, choose the wise men, use their talents, and win the hearts of the world! "

Liu Chengyou didn't expect that Lu Yin would directly explain the truth to him, but after listening to his advice, he felt that it was very pertinent, unlike some courtiers in the court who boasted of the Central Plains and despised the Jiangnan.

Nodding at Lu Yin, Liu Chengyou said: "I don't mean to despise Jiangnan. I also have a good impression of the inheritance of ritual culture and the development and prosperity of people's livelihood. Inviting them to Tokyo, I intended to use their wisdom. Use his talent!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lu Yin gave a small compliment.

After a little consideration, Liu Chengyou said: "I will entertain them in Qionglin Garden, and I will send an invitation to everyone. They must not be familiar with the roads in Tokyo, and the transportation is also included. It is up to you to arrange it!"

"Yes!"

"Also!" Liu Chengyou continued to order: "Let Dou Yi take the lead and join Xue Juzheng to inspect these southern ministers separately, appoint them according to their talents, and assign them to the ministers and Daozhou!"

"As ordered!"

There was a basic arrangement for the servants in the south of the Yangtze River, and Liu Chengyou was already paying attention to him for being able to intervene in this way.Thinking of one person, Liu Chengyou asked: "Where is Han Xizai? You must have met him, what do you think of this man?"

Lu Yin looked at Liu Chengyou slightly in surprise, thought about it, and replied: "Although a person is old, he is full of energy and clear-headed. If you look at him, you still have aspirations!"

"It's natural!" Liu Chengyou smiled.Regarding Han Xizai's situation, Jinling had already reported it, and Emperor Liu was also satisfied with his understanding of current affairs.

"Has His Majesty summoned you?" Lu Yin asked.

"Not for now!" Liu Chengyou shook his head and said, "I'll talk about it later!"

"Is there anything else?" Looking at Lu Yin, Liu Chengyou asked again.

"Report from Suzhou that Chen Hongjin's family, the envoy of the Pinghai Festival, has already passed through the border, and will arrive in Tokyo soon!" Lu Yin replied.

Because Chen Hongjin launched a mutiny and seized the power of the Zhang and Quan military regimes. Although Liu Chengyou admitted it before, he still didn't like it.However, after the army took all the territory of the two rivers, Chen Hongjin took the initiative to invite Liu Guangyi to send troops to Zhangquan, hand over military and civilian registration policy and military and political power, and took the initiative to submit a form, please enter Kaifeng.

In this regard, Liu Chengyou naturally had no reason to refuse, so he allowed it.In fact, the reason why Chen Hongjin was so proactive was that he was overwhelmed by Liu Chengyou's direct award of the post of Jiedu and his request to stay in Shaoxing.

Although Chen Hongjin was behind the coup in Zhangquan, he hid behind the scenes and helped Zhang Hansi to the top.Zhang Hansi was dizzy and old, Chen Hongjin originally planned to let Zhang Hansi stand on the top first, and then stand in front of the stage when the situation stabilized.

As a result, the emperor issued an imperial edict, telling him directly that you don't need to hide it, I know you and the situation of the Zhangquan coup.At that time, Chen Hongjin realized that although the sky was high and the emperor was far away, the emperor of Han and the court were really not easy to deceive.

In addition, in the later period of Liu Congxiao's administration, Zhangquan's connection with the imperial court has become much closer.After some comprehensive consideration, Chen Hongjin completely stopped all redundant thoughts, and directly submitted to the table.

In fact, when Liu Guangyi was stationed in Jianzhou and surrendered to Chen Huo, he could march into Zhangquan at any time. Due to the situation, Chen Hongjin had no other choice.Raise troops to resist, with Liu Guangyi in the north and Murong Chengtai in the west, he will not faint.

As for procrastination, rather than waiting for the court to act, it is better to take the initiative and ask for an impression point. The outcome of Zhang and Quan is doomed, and it is impossible to be independent of the court.

Chen Hongjin's considerations are similar to Liu Congxiao back then.Therefore, Chen Hong's entry to Beijing this time was straightforward and thorough. He exhausted his family property and floated northward with his family, with no intention of returning to Zhangquan.

Just taking the initiative to Chen Hongjin's sincerity, the grudge in Liu Chengyou's heart basically dissipated. Although he had acted ambitiously, he still saw the general trend clearly and was able to understand current affairs.

Therefore, for Chen Hongjin's arrival, he still welcomed him, and ordered: "Let the Ministry of Rites make arrangements for his reception, and don't neglect Chen Hongjin!"

"Yes!"

"Where is King Wuyue?" Speaking of Qian Hongchu, Liu Chengyou's mood improved a bit.The news of Qian Hongchu's response to the imperial edict to go north had already been heard, and judging from the secret melody given by Tao Gu, Qian Hongchu's heart to donate soil this time was already determined.

Compared with Zhangquan's one-acre three-point land, it is obvious that the two Zhejiang provinces, a part of Jiangnan, and a part of Fujian controlled by Wu Yue are more worthy of attention.Moreover, the reason why Emperor Liu was able to treat Chen Hongjin with a tolerant attitude was also because he set an example for Qian Hongchu with his practical actions, which motivated Qian Hongchu to go north from the side.

"The route taken by King Wuyue and his party is from the river to the Huai River, and then the canal. Because they have a lot of luggage, the journey is much slower. However, according to the previous report, it is now time to cross the river!"

"Okay!" Liu Chengyou frowned, his expression was full of joy, and he said to Lu Yin: "Wang Quanbin reported to the Yang family of Bozhou, and sent someone to contact him. He also intends to return to the court. The world will be settled!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Lu Yin cupped his hands in congratulations.

But after calming down, Emperor Liu couldn't help muttering again: "It's a pity that there is still a shortage of Jin'ou."
