Han Shizu

Chapter 141 Female Power
Following Liu Zhiyuan's issuance of the imperial edict, the turmoil of discussing the crown prince came to an abrupt end, as if there had been a result.In fact, this is exactly the case. King Wei + Governor of Kaifeng is basically the standard match for successors. The title of King Wei is extremely important in this era. As for Governor of Kaifeng, it is not something ordinary people can do.It can even be guessed that Liu Zhiyuan had been vacant in this official position before, just to evaluate the "suitable" candidate.

As for Liu Chengyou's title and official appointment, it is more like a consolation. On the basis of his original Zhongshu Ling and privy deputy envoy, add a capital inspection.However, the capital inspection is not an ordinary position.

Therefore, judging from Liu Zhiyuan's arrangement, there was room for it, and he still hesitated.But judging from the results, Liu Chengxun had the upper hand.In the original history, after entering Bian, only the eldest son Liu Chengxun was appointed as the king of Wei and the prefect of Kaifeng.

However, when the odd number Liu Chengyou came, the same gift did not have the effect of "foregone conclusion".Compared with the mixed reactions of other people, as the rightful lord, Liu Chengyou acted very calmly, accepting the edict and thanking him, as if he had not been affected in any way.But in secret, he commented on Liu Zhiyuan's decision, not being decisive enough, hesitating and hesitating, which would eventually lead to failure.

Probably because she didn't speak for Liu Chengyou, Li felt a little "ashamed" in her heart. Afterwards, she called Liu Chengyou into the palace, comforted her with warm words, and explained it earnestly.He also used the stories of the Liang, Tang, and Jin dynasties to advise Liu Chengyou, let him take good care of his father and brother, rejuvenate the great Han, and protect the extension of the country.

As for Liu Chengyou, what can he do in the face of his earnest mother?He just calmly assured Li that for the sake of the family and the country, he will put the overall situation first, and he will devote himself wholeheartedly in the future to assist his father and brother, and not dare to ask too much, and so on.

On the contrary, Liu Chengyou's caliber made Li Shi surprised. Looking at his "hard" face, he felt that he had been wronged, and felt even more pity in his heart.When Liu Chengyou's statement spread, many people praised him as wise and generous.Even Liu Zhiyuan was puzzled, but after all, some people did not believe what he said, such as Yang Bin.

But Liu Chengxun, the eldest brother, was a little embarrassed when facing Liu Chengyou.

As autumn became stronger, the branches and leaves all over Tokyo turned yellow in a silent way, and the garden in Liu Chengyou's mansion was also the same, quietly, it was dyed a piece of gold.

The plaque of the mansion has long been replaced. The three strong characters of "Zhou Wangfu" are simple and simple, but they have accumulated majesty and status.

During this period of time, the Han court has fallen into a brief period of stability. In the court, Liu Chengyou, in addition to low-key counseling military aircraft, the most important thing is to start to rectify the law and order in Kaifeng, focusing on combating murder, theft, robbery, etc. Sin, after more than half a month, the effect is remarkable.Although crime cannot be eradicated, a set of order based on the institutional framework has been re-established among the market and the neighborhood.During this process, Liu Chengyou controlled a part of the patrolling guards in Kaifeng city.
In the rare time to rest and bathe, Liu Chengyou was fishing on the edge of the "Ping Lake" in the back garden of the palace under the increasingly cold autumn sun.Wrapped under a huge black robe, still wearing a bamboo hat on his head, holding a fishing rod in his hand.It is said to be fishing, but in fact it is just staring at the lake in a daze. The rippling autumn waves and layers of water patterns are still very beautiful.

"Erlang! Your Highness! My Highness King Zhou!" With a burst of hurried steps, Li Shaoyou walked to Liu Chengyou's side, glanced at him, and couldn't help calling anxiously.

"Tsk!" Liu Chengyou pouted, put down the fishing rod, and complained to him, "Finally, some fish took the bait, and you scared them away!"

Li Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, looked at the calm lake, then glanced at the empty fish basket, raised his eyebrows, sat down cross-legged, and said, "I can't wait to go fishing here?"

"What made you so anxious?" Liu Chengyou glanced at him unexpectedly, and said calmly and contentedly, "What rumors did you hear again?"

"What's the matter!" Li Shaoyou's voice became louder: "You are about to be released from town!"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou frowned: "What's going on?"

"Today, the officials asked about the position reserve again. Yang Bin suggested to the officials that in order to avoid the situation where two dragons take over the throne, you should be released to the outside world, so as to eliminate the possibility of the two sons fighting and fratricide!" Li Shaoyou replied. road.

Liu Chengyou's brows were furrowed even tighter. He didn't even hear any news of this kind of news.Turning to look at him: "Where did you hear that?"

Knowing what Liu Chengyou was wondering about, Li Shaoyou explained: "Not long ago, my father visited the palace and heard about it. I received the news here and came to tell you immediately."

"Oh!" Liu Chengyou responded, his brows gradually relaxed, and he said calmly: "This Yang Bin dares to say anything. Could it be that he is arrogant because of being favored?"

Seeing his unhurried reaction, on the contrary, he was inexplicably anxious, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but said: "Are you not in a hurry?"

"What's the use of being anxious?" Liu Chengyou asked back, with a faint thought on his face: "Where are you going to put me outside?"

"Chengde Jiedu! According to Yang Bin, when Youyan started fighting, it is time to send you northward, where you can use your skills and give full play to your talents."

Not long ago, after the country was well adjusted and the power was stabilized, Yeluruan, the leader of the Liao Dynasty, recruited troops from various tribes while the autumn was high and the horses were fat.Tens of thousands of soldiers went straight to Jicheng.

Zhao Yanshou, the King of Yan, did not know where the courage came from, and sent troops to fight. More than half of the [-] forwards were wiped out, and they retreated decisively to Youzhou, and Yingcheng took hold.While retreating to defend, he quickly sent someone to the south for help.The envoys headed south quickly until Tokyo.

In this regard, today's big Han, Guanzhong, Zhongyuan, and Weibo have not yet straightened out, so how can they spare no effort to manage Youyan's affairs.However, the northern frontier defense cannot be completely ignored. The imperial court had no choice but to appease with good words, and at the same time issued an imperial edict to Chengde Zhang Yanwei to let the troops along the border provide timely support and limited support for Youyan.

Now, Yang Bin proposed this plan, and then related to the situation in the court, to a certain extent, it was indeed quite in line with Liu Zhiyuan's wishes.

"It's really a good suggestion!" Liu Chengyou commented: "The matter of Youyan and Youyan was also caused by me. Let me clean up and deal with it. It's really the best of both worlds, and it serves multiple purposes!"

Seeing that Liu Chengyou was still in the mood to sigh here, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but worry for him: "You don't really plan to go to the north, do you?"

His expression gradually became serious, and Liu Chengyou crossed his index fingers, thinking.Since entering Tokyo, Liu Chengyou has kept a low profile, not making troubles, not making troubles, letting his situation change, and I will not move.However, it is absolutely not allowed to let him go out of town, away from the center of power.

Going out of the town at this time is not like "the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly". In Tokyo, there is an imperial court and hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops. These are the foundations of the country and must not be given up.

Regardless of Li Siyuan, Li Congke to Shi Jingtang, including Liu Zhiyuan, they all counterattacked the central government with soldiers from Fangzhen, seized power, and ascended to the throne of God.But the difficulties, risks and luck in the process are not ordinary.Even in this era, the local Jiedu may be strong, but under normal circumstances, as long as the central government has no problems, it is extremely difficult to compete with the central government.From the later Tang Dynasty to the later Jin Dynasty, there were more than one rebellion in Fangzhen, but except for those who succeeded in the counterattack, others such as Zhu Shouyin, Fan Yanguang, An Chongrong, Yang Guangyuan, etc., tried to use a town to fight against the central government, but they all failed. And ended up.

From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present, the world has been in chaos for decades, and the central dynasty has been constantly changing, but this is actually a process of strong stems and weak branches and centralization, although it is very slow.Up to now, although the local Jiedu still holds great power in his hands, compared with the power of the center, it is more than weaker.

The foundation of the central government's strength lies in the imperial army.In the original history, after the Later Han Dynasty, it was the Forbidden Army that could really determine the fate of the country, the throne, and the imperial power.The Zhou Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and Song Dynasty were all power changes within the Forbidden Army, and there were no other affairs in Fangzhen, including Zhao Kuangyin's "drinking wine to release military power", which was released as the power of the senior generals of the Forbidden Army.As for eliminating the threat of local festival towns, recruiting their elite soldiers, and controlling their grain and so on, these are things that will come later.

Liu Chengyou's mind is very clear, so if he is asked to go to Tokyo and live in Fangzhen, he will never give in.Being in Tokyo, Liu Chengyou felt at ease. If the situation developed to an irreversible situation, he could still use his second hand in the imperial army to act.If he was pushed out, the situation would be completely out of his expectation and control.

I also have to admit that if Yang Bin were to make this matter happen, it would be a snake hit seven inches, hitting the key point, and it would definitely cause Liu Chengyou's spinal cord pain.

Liu Chengyou thought seriously, Li Shaoyou didn't dare to disturb him lightly, but seeing him recovering, he asked: "How do you plan to deal with it? Listen to my father, the officials are tempted!"

"I don't know mother, do you know about this?" Liu Chengyou murmured, then turned his head to look directly at Li Shaoyou: "How long has it been since you entered the palace to greet the queen?"

Hearing Liu Chengyou's sudden words, Li Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted: "You mean, using my aunt—"

Glaring at him fiercely, Liu Chengyou reprimanded: "The words are too harsh, what is taking advantage of? Hmm?"

With an embarrassing smile, Li Shaoyou slapped himself softly, and said, "I was wrong. I'm going to the palace now, and I'll greet my aunt."

In the palace city, Liu Zhiyuan stood in front of a map, staring at it in a daze.Guanzhong, Hedong, Central Plains, and Hebei, which belong to his Han Dynasty in name, are not small, and they are all places where the emperor prospered.It's a pity, looking at the big and small states and towns scattered among them, the ambition and impulse to sweep everything away and return power to the central government suddenly arose in Liu Zhiyuan's heart.It is estimated that since the Liang Dynasty, every emperor, whether stupid or wise, has this heart.

However, he could only think about it in his heart, at his age, he already felt powerless.During this period of time, managing and managing politics has exhausted him.

In today's time, among these sites, only half of them are really controlled by the Han court.Hedong, Chengde, Heyang, East and West Gyeonggi and some scattered prefectures.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is here!" The servant's voice brought Liu Zhiyuan back to his senses.

It's a little surprising that Mrs. Li strictly abides by women's morals, and has never set foot in this place of governance.He waved his hand and ordered: "Please come in."

Soon, Mrs. Li stepped in, saw Liu Zhiyuan, and directly saluted: "The concubine sees Your Majesty!"

At this time, Li Shi's face lacked the usual gentleness, his face was cold, his brows were frequently frowned, and there was a kind of female prestige leaking from his side.It was rare to see Mrs. Li in such a state, which made Liu Zhiyuan murmur in his heart.

With a smile on his face, Liu Zhiyuan helped Mrs. Li up with his own hands. Liu Zhiyuan asked, "Get up quickly. Why are you looking for me? Looking at your gloomy face, could it be that someone has offended you? Tell me that you will be punished severely!"

Standing up, Mrs. Li focused her eyes on Liu Zhiyuan, her voice was slightly concentrated, and she asked directly: "Does Your Majesty want to separate my mother and child?"

Liu Zhiyuan was taken aback, and blurted out, "Sanniang, what do you mean by that?"

"Does Your Majesty still want to lie to me?" Li asked, "I heard that you are going to send Erlang out of Beijing. Do you want Erlang to go to the north before you tell my mother?"

Li Shi seldom gets angry, but this time, the look of angry eyes and teeth gnashing shocked Liu Zhiyuan.Liu Zhiyuan didn't know what Li's words were referring to, but when she heard her pointing out, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he pretended to be stupid: "What's the matter? There must be villains talking nonsense, so don't believe it."

Mrs. Li took Liu Zhiyuan's example, looked at him, and said forcefully: "For the sake of our family and the world, Erlang is willing to make concessions, and there are still people who want to persecute? I don't care what those foreign ministers say, if you want to make me Mother and child are separated from each other by thousands of mountains and rivers, I don't agree!"

But upon hearing his words, Liu Zhiyuan showed an imperceptible bitter smile, and immediately denied it: "There is absolutely no such thing! Erlang is also my son, whoever wants to separate my flesh and blood, I will not spare him!"

"Your Majesty's words are serious?" Mrs. Li stared straight at Liu Zhiyuan.

Liu Zhiyuan said loudly: "You are not joking!"

After receiving Liu Zhiyuan's guarantee, Li finally collected her momentum, showed him a warm smile like spring, and bowed to plead guilty: "I am reckless and short-tempered, and my words are inappropriate. I also ask the officials to forgive me."

But seeing Li Shi regaining this low profile, even though Liu Zhiyuan felt a little angry, he couldn't blame him, sighed, supported Li Shi's shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "You and my husband, why should you be like this?"

The phoenix eyes swept around, Li Shi was still the virtuous and reasonable queen, took a step back, and said goodbye: "The government is busy with government affairs, and the concubine is inconvenient to disturb, so I will leave first."

"Well, let's go."

After Mrs. Li withdrew, Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.Shaking his head, he sighed.After being persecuted by the queen, he didn't have to worry about it anymore. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he also hesitated to let Liu Chengyou go out of town.

Liu Chengyou's going out of the town was just a matter of nothing, and he was relieved to hear the news from the palace, at least he didn't need to waste his brain and energy.Originally, he was well prepared, if Mrs. Li couldn't persuade him, he would pretend to be sick, and Liu Chengxun was already sick, so he wasn't allowed to have a headache.However, he seemed to underestimate Li's influence on Liu Zhiyuan.

Although he avoided the matter lightly, Liu Chengyou hated Yang Bin more and more.From an objective point of view, in doing so, Yang Bin just acted from a different standpoint. There was no big mistake, and he did not punish Liu Chengyou to death.However, how could Liu Chengyou stand in his position and think about the problem?
As for Yang Bin, when he learned of this situation, he secretly thought it was a pity.At the same time, I couldn't help saying a couple of sentences, "A woman's opinion is like a hen's morning".Of course, what made him even more depressed was that Liu Chengxun also held objections to this matter.
