Chapter 1232 The Prince's Psychological Burden

"Second brother, why are you so preoccupied?" After leaving the imperial tent, Liu Fang tilted his head to look at Liu Yang who was bowing his head in thought.

Hearing the sound, Liu Yang raised his head, met the surprised eyes of his fourth brother, opened his mouth, and sighed: "It's just an occasional feeling!"

"When did you become sentimental? Is it because you can't bear to see the poverty of the people in Fengzhou, or because of the governor Feng Guang?" Liu Fang said casually.

Hearing what he said, Liu Yang stopped, looked at Liu Fang, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Silang, do you think Mr. Feng is a good official?"

"Based on what I've seen and heard so far, if it's true, of course he's a good official!" Liu Fang nodded, and then said with a smile, "You really are still struggling with what Dad just said!"

Liu Yang sighed again, thought for a while, and said: "Dad tried to teach me not to govern the country on memorials, but to listen and learn a lot. Now, our actual investigation shows that Feng Guang is an official, and he is well-known. Official, you still have to suspect and examine, I."

As he said that, Liu Yang showed a tired look on his face, and his shoulders sank a little, as if under heavy pressure.

Liu Fang was really surprised by this. He couldn't empathize with him, but he pondered for a while and said, "Just now you suggested to order the whole country to praise Feng Guang, because you intended to set him up as a model of a big man and an honest official. I think, Dad Still agree with this proposal.

However, it is precisely because of this that it is necessary to be more cautious and appropriate.Although I don't think Feng Guang, the little governor of Bianzhou, has the ability and courage to deceive the emperor, but if his achievements and reputation are false, and the imperial edict has been issued, then the face of his father and the imperial court will be disgraced.

And if Feng Guang is the same outside and inside, why should he be afraid of these inspections?From now on, if he can stick to his style and remain determined, why won't father not promote him? "

Liu Fang's words also surprised Liu Yang. He couldn't help but look him up and down, and said, "Shiro, you are really impressive. You have such an opinion! Just focus on this opinion, don't be obsessed with it. Martial arts, for the political people, can also have great achievements!"

"I don't want to do this. I've had enough of the suffering of book cases!" Hearing what he said, Liu Fang hurriedly waved his hands, with a look of avoidance, and said: "Leading troops to fight and galloping on the battlefield, this is what I have been doing since I was a child." ambition"

Liu Yang reminded: "The world is unified, can you still fight for a lifetime?"

"Not to mention how much time it will take for the Liao Kingdom to defeat and eliminate it. The territory of the Han Dynasty is so vast, and the various ethnic groups live together. How can everyone surrender wholeheartedly, and there are definitely those who have strange intentions and hidden plans to rebel. From now on, I will eliminate these Stubborn enemies and traitors, to protect our country!" Liu Fang said solemnly.

Seeing his serious expression, Liu Yang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with the same seriousness: "I will definitely support you!"

Liu Fang chuckled: "Then, I will thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first!"

Seeing this, Liu Yang also smiled.

The two brothers bid farewell and each paid their bills. Liu Fang still held his head high, while Liu Yang was once again immersed in his emotions. After all, Liu Fang could not understand his feelings.

Among all the brothers, only he, the crown prince, had the most contact with Emperor Liu, and only Liu Yang knew Emperor Liu best.Also because of his profound knowledge, Liu Yang's awe of Emperor Liu is also increasing day by day.

Among them, what made him most anxious and even fearful was Emperor Liu's suspicious and suspicious heart.Many things, many people, Emperor Liu expressed his views directly in front of him.

The evaluation of Feng Guang is just an introduction. From Liu Yang's point of view, Emperor Liu is so vigilant about an official like Feng Guang.Of course, what Liu Fang said just now is also reasonable, but wouldn't it be more terrifying for Emperor Liu to be so thoughtful?
It is not easy to be a prince in the past, and it is not easy for Liu Yang, the prince. It is even more difficult to be the prince of a hero like Emperor Liu.Liu Yang is also a history student, and sometimes he feels lucky, not because of his status as the eldest son, or his status as a prince, but because he is moved by the painstaking efforts that Emperor Liu devoted to himself.

There are very few people in the world who can glimpse some of Emperor Liu's true colors, including Liu Yang.For a long time, Emperor Liu taught him by precepts and deeds, and even repeatedly revealed his heart, and the importance he attached to him was beyond words.However, for Liu Yang, this emphasis sometimes seems too heavy.
Fengzhou is adjacent to the Yellow River, and there is a ferry in the southeast of the city, which is also simple, because there are few people in Fengzhou, and there are fewer people going in and out from south to north, so it seems a bit deserted.

And after winter, the water is cold and the wind is cold, making it even more desolate and desolate.However, there were only a few small boats docked on the ferry, and what was sailing on the river was a raft, dangling in the turbulent river, looking so helpless.

Emperor Liu rode his horse and stood on the bank and watched calmly, observing the situation in the river. The raft, under the laborious manipulation of the boatman, went through twists and turns, barely landed on the shore, and then unloaded things. This scene fell in the eyes of Emperor Liu. I just feel that it is hard work and dangerous.

After a long time, Emperor Liu asked Feng Guang who was by his side: "Crossing the river is so troublesome and dangerous for the people of Fengzhou, have you not tried to improve it?"

"Return to Your Majesty!" Feng Guang said: "People on both sides of the river do not communicate frequently, and there are fewer travelers and businessmen coming and going. The terrain is high and the river is turbulent, and there is no way to build a bridge. With ordinary solar terms, there are such boats and rafts. It is open to navigation. When the weather is warm, it has become a custom for the common people to carry leather bags to cross the river. When it is cold, the river freezes, and you can walk directly on the ice.”

"The freezing of the river means the severe cold, which is not a good thing!" Emperor Liu sighed quietly.

Feng Guang said: "In the past few years since I took office, every late November, the ice surface has already condensed, and by December, I can already run a horse and a car, and this is the case every year!
In the northern part of the Great Wall, what the people fear most is the bone-chilling cold. People can endure hunger and cold, but livestock suffer. There are not a few cattle, sheep, horses and camels that freeze to death every year in the territory."

"It is said that since you took office, Fengzhou has not died of freezing or starvation for several years in a row?" Emperor Liu asked.

"The minister was ordered to be the guardian, and as an official, he should do his best to protect the people under his rule!" Feng Guang said: "This is also because Fengzhou has few people, so it is easy to manage, and the army and the people will work together to tide over the difficulties."

"What do you think Fengzhou needs if it wants to continue to develop and develop better?" Emperor Liu looked softly, looked at Feng Guang and asked, "If you have any requirements, just ask, if it can be done, the imperial court will definitely satisfy you!"

Regarding this, Feng Guang regained his spirits, thought for a while, and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what Fengzhou lacks the most is population!"

As for this, Emperor Liu couldn't help but have a headache. Now the imperial government's official policy of relocation and immigration has come to a standstill. After all, people cannot be forced to move out without reason.In addition, moving to a place like Fengzhou is tantamount to exile, and no one wants to come.

Feng Guang put forward the request to increase the population. I have to say that it was really difficult for Emperor Liu.However, if it is released, it must be fulfilled. After a little consideration, Emperor Liu said: "Fengzhou is an important border defense town in the northern border, and it should be taken seriously. In this way, in the future, the prisoners who are sentenced to exile by the imperial court will give priority to Fengzhou. Among the people, move some tribesmen here, and use the large grassland south of Yinshan Mountain!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Feng Guang immediately thanked him.

"The imperial court can support Shi En, but Fengzhou is remote after all. If the people want to have enough food and warmth, they have to rely on you!" Emperor Liu said.

"I understand!"

"Leave a name in life, I hope that when you, Feng Guang, leave Fengzhou, you will leave behind a good, kind, and fragrant name!" Emperor Liu said encouragingly.

"Yes! I will live up to His Majesty's expectations!" Feng Guang clapped his hands solemnly.

After staring at him for a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, the appreciation in Emperor Liu's eyes became even stronger.Because his meaning is also very obvious, Feng Guang still has to stay in Fengzhou, and he has to survive in this bitter cold place. As for how long it will last, there is no certainty.And Feng Guang's reaction was natural and calm.
"I heard that you have built a school. I have never seen it in the city. Where is it? Take me to see it!"
