Han Shizu

Chapter 138 Please make a prince
The carriages drove slowly between the workshops, occupying almost half of the road. The road conditions in Kaifeng City were very poor, crowded and narrow, and most of them could not accommodate two parallel horse-drawn carriages.

Inside the carriage, Liu Chengyou sat cross-legged, slightly closed his eyes, and thoughts kept flashing in his mind.Judging from the questioning in the hall today, Liu Zhiyuan obviously did not intend to completely suppress him.

Pointing his index finger on his knee, Liu Chengyou couldn't help thinking about where to focus his work next.The eldest brother Liu Chengxun did a good job in appeasing the refugees, but what about him?

In fact, he has a lot of ideas in his head, and he has too many things he wants to change when he is dissatisfied. The military, government, officials, and people, ranging from national strategy to general affairs, farming and weaving, have too many ills that need to be eradicated. correct.

However, it is not his turn to judge the world right now, the matter of Xue Huairang has already sounded the alarm for him.There is no rush for things.

Sometimes, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.Liu Chengxun's illness made Liu Chengyou a little worried about gains and losses. He knew in his heart that even if he didn't do anything, as long as he stayed for another half a year, everything would be his.He also intends to do this, however, the indescribable restlessness in his heart has really exhausted him recently, and he is far less calm than the expression on his face.

Lifting the curtain, looking out of the car, looking at the streets and alleys of Kaifeng, his eyes gradually brightened, but then darkened immediately.Right now, the post of Governor of Kaifeng is still vacant, and Kaifeng is still under semi-military control. If Kaifeng can be governed, it can do something, which may be more meaningful than being a deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

However, if Liu Chengyou seeks him with the dignity of a prince, it will probably be very difficult.

"Your Highness, we're here." Li Chongju said respectfully from outside the car.

Lifting the curtain of the car, stepping on the low stool prepared by the soldiers, Liu Chengyou walked towards the gate of the mansion with big strides.The footsteps were a little hurried, and when he crossed the threshold, he couldn't help but stumbled, his figure swayed, and he almost fell.

Li Chongju hurried forward to support him, and asked, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Getting rid of the support, Liu Chengyou frowned and looked at the threshold under his feet, and called out, "Where is the porter?"

"The villain is here!" Hearing Liu Chengyou's call, the anxious doorman immediately approached him, knelt down nervously, his voice trembling.

"The threshold of my family shouldn't be so high. Find someone and change it!" Liu Chengyou ordered directly.

"Yes!" The one who could watch the door for Liu Chengyou was also an old man who was familiar with him in Jinyang. He knew Liu Chengyou's temper very well, so he breathed a sigh of relief and responded decisively.As for whether changing the height of the threshold would destroy the original design pattern of the gate, that was not for a small person like him to consider.

"Where is Mr. Wei?" After entering the mansion, Liu Chengyou asked a steward.

"Return to Your Highness, in the East Garden."

Knowing that Wei Renpu lived alone in Tokyo with only one servant by his side, Liu Chengyou simply let him live in the mansion. His mansion is very big. Of course, more importantly, it is convenient for Liu Chengyou to discuss matters with him at any time.Not to mention anything else, as far as Liu Chengyou's behavior of "respectful corporal" is concerned, he is very concerned.

What was prepared for Wei Renpu was an independent house in Dongyuan, which was carefully arranged and the environment was quiet and livable.When Liu Chengyou wandered over, Wei Renpu was sipping tea and reading.

"Mr. is so leisurely." Liu Chengyou said softly.

Standing up and making a salute, Wei Renpu said calmly, "It's all about entertaining with books."

"From now on, sir, I'm afraid it will be rare for me to be idle." Sitting down together, Liu Chengyou said.

Wei Renpu was a little surprised, and asked, "What do you think Your Highness said?"

Liu Chengyou directly told him about recommending him to the Privy Council. While Wei Renpu was thinking about it, Liu Chengyou said: "Guo Shumi's kindness, I am good at making suggestions, and I will accept it for you first, and you will not be offended."

Wei Renpu clasped his fists to Liu Chengyou, with a grateful expression on his face, he said: "I would also like to thank Your Highness for the promotion."

After getting along for so long, I also got to know Wei Renpu to a certain extent. This gentleman has a string of shining points in terms of ability and quality, and he is almost a "perfect" person in dealing with others.But he never concealed his pursuit of fame and success in his career.

Liu Chengyou waved his hands, pondered for a while, and said, "Today in the Chui Gong Palace, my father made me a member of the Privy Council."

"Is there a result for the whole army?" Wei Renpu guessed.

"That's right." Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "A good Longqi Army has been dismantled into pieces, but I don't feel like it in my heart."

"According to the previous news, not only the Longqi Army, but also the Wujie, Xingjie and other armies have also changed. Your Highness don't need to be too depressed. The Forbidden Army in the capital has a very large number of former and foreign soldiers. Disrupting the reorganization is beneficial to the imperial court's control." Wei Renpu persuaded.

"If it's only aimed at my Longqi Army, and I'll be punished desperately, I'll have to make a fuss!" Liu Chengyou made a joke. With his personality, no matter what, he would not do any useless acts of mischief.

As he said that, Liu Chengyou couldn't help lowering his voice, and said with a serious face: "Brother, I took this opportunity to plant some people in the imperial army. I heard that he also had contacts with Shi Hongzhao."

"It's conceivable to have such a move." Wei Renpu tried to persuade him.

But Liu Chengyou suddenly changed his face again, and said very easily: "It seems that it is my elder brother who feels the pressure."

He talked with Wei Renpu about major events in the world again, and they broke up happily.Later, Guo Rong came to see him, talked to Liu Chengyou about going to Chanzhou, and gained his support.

The two of them had a tacit understanding of some "unspoken" matters, and discussed the situation between Du Chongwei and Yedu together.

The reorganization of the Forbidden Army soon entered the stage of implementation. The preliminary preparations were sufficient. It was presided over by Shi Hongzhao and Guo Wei, with the cooperation of the Privy Council and the Third Division. A head-to-toe adjustment.

Of course, this is almost just a systematic reorganization of the entire army, in order to achieve the purpose of digesting foreign soldiers and reduce redundant things in the army.However, this is also an incomplete training, without weeding out the old and the weak, and not eliminating the bad and keeping the good, resulting in a mixture of good and bad.After the reorganization, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty dropped significantly before the running-in was successful. This is obvious, and how long the running-in will take and how effective it is is also unknown.
Of course, the reorganization of the army is definitely of positive significance. The previous chaos has been swept away, the old military system has been completely disrupted, and the imperial court's control over the forbidden army has also increased unprecedentedly.

However, there are always people who express dissatisfaction with this matter and express their incompatibility, including the original Hedong Army, including the Longqi Army.
There was a blank sheet of paper on the desk, and Liu Chengyou picked up a pen and wrote in a precise manner. After practicing handwriting for so long, it finally had some effect.Although it is not pretty and has no aura at all, Liu Chengyou is already satisfied.He believes that as long as his seal is affixed in the future, the "spiritual energy" will inevitably surge and appear on the paper.

"Not leading troops in the army, training soldiers, what are you doing here at my house?" From the corner of the eye, he glanced at Sun Li, who was sitting beside him, drinking tea with a cup of cow, put down his pen, and walked slowly beside Sun Li, Filling his teacup with water, he asked indifferently, "Damn my good tea?"

I don't know when, but in front of Liu Chengyou, Commander Sun has behaved a lot, but his temperament has not improved much. He said carelessly: "Your Highness likes to drink tea, and I will go back to collect some for you. I guarantee it will be top grade."

"Put all your thoughts on leading the soldiers!" Liu Chengyou sat down and stared at Sun Li: "Tell me, what do you want me for?"

"I don't know what the imperial court means, but the good Longqi army was dismantled and separated us, so aggrieved," Sun Li complained.

"Why, is there anyone else who dares to give you Sun Du's orders?" Liu Chengyou asked, hearing some hints from his tone.

"Brothers are gone, it's all right to assign us to the Xiaodi army. Why should Shi Honglang be the capital of Yuhou and press on our heads? The last general will not accept it!" Sun Li said directly: "I think it is Then Shi Hongzhao abolished the government for personal reasons and put his younger brother in a high position!"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's expression became a bit colder, and he stared at Sun Li, the excitement on his face disappeared a little bit with his plain eyes.

"Then what does Commander Sun Du want you to switch with Shi Honglang?" Liu Chengyou said lightly.

The Xiaodi Army is composed of 2000 young and strong soldiers selected from various armies. Many people from the Longqi Army were selected into it. It is a new army that the imperial court attaches great importance to.As for Sun Li, because he is an old man who followed Liu Zhiyuan, he has enough seniority, and he has made a lot of military exploits in Hebei.

The former commander of the right wing of the Martial Arts Festival, Zhou Hui, was the commander of the capital of the Xiaodi army. Shi Hongzhao's younger brother, Shi Honglang, was appointed as the Marquis of the capital of the Xiaodi army. Not convinced anymore.

No matter how nervous you are, you can still feel that Liu Chengyou's tone is not kind. Thinking about the situation of being ruled by Liu Chengyou in the Longxi Army in the past, Sun Li suddenly lost his momentum, and said in a low voice: "That's not necessary, Longqi Army Since its establishment, the last general has been there. Your Highness, can you speak for the last general, and make sure to transfer back to the Longqi army, don't stay in the Xiaodi army, and be enraged by those incompetent people."

"Bang", Liu Chengyou patted on the small case all of a sudden, stared at Sun Li coldly, and suddenly burst out: "Is the army a place to negotiate conditions for you Sun Li? Do you agree with Sun Li? You are also a veteran of the government, and you don’t know that military orders are like mountains, and orders are prohibited? How can you have the guts to say such things without shame when you go to the Gufu?"

"I..." Sun Li was shocked by Liu Chengyou all of a sudden, as if his butt was burned, he jumped up and stood there, Nuo Nuo speechless.

Staring at him, Liu Chengyou took a deep breath. Since the Battle of Luancheng, Sun Li's perception of him has changed.But some arrogant martial arts temperament, it is estimated that they will not be able to change in a lifetime.

Standing up, Liu Chengyou put his finger up on his chest, and while lighting it, he said solemnly: "I tell you, no matter you are Shi Honglang or Zhou Hui, even if it is Shi Hongzhao, I will be honest with you in front of you." Commander, stop talking and lead your troops well!"

"Yes, yes" Sun Li didn't dare to be presumptuous.

With his hands behind his back, he swayed around in front of Sun Li a few times. Seeing his appearance, Liu Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief, pulled himself closer, lowered his voice, and said: "Don't worry about anything else, the five or six thousand troops in the left wing of Xiaodi, Take it well with Gu! Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Sun Li was a little taken aback, met Liu Chengyou's eyes in bewilderment, and said belatedly, "Understood."

I don't know if he really understood, waved his hand at him, and Liu Chengyou added: "Also, don't go to the Gufu so ostentatiously in the future."

Regardless of whether your mind is confused or not, just agree and it's over: "Yes."

"I heard that your injury shows signs of relapse?" Liu Chengyou asked, looking at Sun Li's aggrieved expression, as his complexion slowly eased.

Sensing the change in tone, Sun Li showed a smile: "It's the root cause of the disease, it's nothing serious, the weather is getting colder, it's just a faint pain, it's nothing, I will bear it in the end."

Early in the morning, it was still very early before dawn, and the surrounding area was still shrouded in darkness, Liu Chengyou got up from the couch, and under the service of Geng and his maidservants, he put on all his clothes.After tidying up the green crown and purple clothes, he simply ate some dry cakes, and under the hazy search, Liu Chengyou headed for the imperial city.

Today, Liu Zhiyuan is far away from the Chongyuan Palace.

Officials in Beijing, who are qualified, are basically in place. There are a large number of late Jin survivors, and the hall is very full.Since entering Tokyo, Liu Zhiyuan has rarely paid attention to the imperial court, and basically discusses matters with the military and political ministers in the Chuigong Palace.

On such a serious occasion, Liu Chengyou was very adaptable. Standing in the front with the respect of a prince, he listened to the emperor's and ministers' proposals, without a trace of impatience. Instead, he observed and listened with interest.

"Report to Your Majesty, Suzhou News, more than [-] people died of starvation in the territory."

"Dismiss the governor and defense envoy of Suzhou, order the officials to be selected to deal with the aftermath of the civil affairs, and order Suzhou to reduce the tax by [-]% this year!"

"Your Majesty, the Khitan has gone, and the remaining poison has not been cleared. There are still people who make Khitan-like saddles, equipment, and clothing in the official and civilian utensil workshops of the prefectures in Gyeonggi."

"Forbidden creation!"

Listening to the ministers solving the matter one by one, Liu Chengyou talked about his experience. Although he was boring, he felt very comfortable in the orderly and solemn scene.

Liu Chengyou and Liu Chengxun stood together, after a long time, he found that Liu Chengxun's face was a little red, a little strange, it was a feeling of suffocation.After observing quietly for a while, Liu Chengyou guessed in his heart, did he want to sneeze?

While thinking about it, Liu Zhiyuan's majestic voice rang in his ears again: "Emperor Taizu Gao and Shizu Emperor Guangwu are the temples of injustice."

But Quan Taichangqing Zhang Zhaojin said, please respect the six temples.In addition to the four generations of ancestors on the head, it is the pursuit of Liu Bang, the Taizu of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu, the Shizu of the Han Dynasty. This is probably the basic operation of all "Liu Han" dynasties after the Han Dynasty.

After recovering, he saw that the hall became quiet. He probably noticed that Liu Chengxun was not in the right state. His eyes stopped on him for a while. Liu Zhiyuan ordered someone to bring a chair for Liu Chengxun to sit and discuss affairs.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" By expressing his thanks, Liu Chengxun slightly released the feeling of "suffocation". At the same time, he was a little moved by his father's love.

The morning court lasted for more than an hour, and it was already dawn, probably because he was thirsty, so Liu Zhiyuan drank his saliva and asked, "What else is there?"

After a while of silence, an official moved and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the country has been initially established, but the East Palace is empty, and it is to strengthen the foundation of the country. Please, Your Majesty, establish a prince as soon as possible!"

As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly went astray.

PS: Let me talk about the title of the book, why it is called Han Shizu, because the author likes it.As for what Liu Xiu should do, if he had to give a reasonable explanation, he would just change it.
