Chapter 1502 Dedication to Zhao Xianggong

Autumn is getting deeper, the autumn wind is getting stronger, and the coolness begins to cover the land of Heluo.In the southern city of Xijing, on the Heavenly Street, flags were flying, iron cavalry cleared the way, accompanied by ceremonial chariots, and the neat and majestic guards and soldiers guarded the emperor's car like stars, and slowly left the city.

In the solemn atmosphere, without the slightest disturbance, Luan drove through the Wengcheng, passed through the high and steep city walls, and reached the outside of the city before the whole team stopped.

In front of the city gate, Prince Liu Yang was leading all the officials to stand respectfully on the left side of the road. Yan Tuo trotted forward to deliver an order. Emperor Liu summoned the prince to board the carriage. Emperor Liu's domineering car.

The interior of Luanjia is very warm, without feeling the slightest coolness of autumn, and there is a faint fragrance in the spacious space.Without being seen by others, Emperor Liu maintained a lazy posture. When the prince boarded the car, he sat up slowly.

"During the time I'm away, the court affairs will be handed over to you, and this family will be handed over to you!" For Liu Yang, Emperor Liu didn't make any fuss, let him sit beside him, and directly made the confession before parting. "Your mother is physically inconvenient, so she must take good care of her, and her younger brothers and sisters should also take care of her, especially Liu Ye and Liu Xin's studies. They should be supervised, and it doesn't matter if they are stricter. You can't let them go. You are both the prince and the elder brother. , show your majesty."

Facing Emperor Liu's instructions, Liu Yang was stunned for a while. He thought that Emperor Liu called him to make some final remarks on state affairs before leaving Beijing, but he didn't expect that Emperor Liu was so verbose. Said some seemingly trivial words.

However, a strange feeling grew in his heart. Facing such a kind and nagging Emperor Liu, Liu Yang felt peace and tranquility.

"My son must take good care of my family and country, please rest assured that my father will tour the east!" Liu Yang made a firm promise.

Seeing Liu Yang's solemn expression, Emperor Liu smiled happily, reached out and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said: "I don't have much to say, I have to explain what I have to say! Go down, I should set off too! "

Accompanied by a high-pitched "start driving", Yujia started again and officially embarked on the journey of the east tour.Ministers, ministers, concubines, palace men, and guards, accompanied by nearly ten thousand people, drove southward along the straight road.

Liu Yang, on the other hand, waited until the last group of guards left the city and walked away before leading people back to the city. Soon, the Dingding Gate returned to its usual scenery, the occupied streets were vacated, and the passages for entry and exit were also opened.
Emperor Liu's east tour this time was actually planned long ago. Since last year, he had been determined to go to Kaifeng to stay for a while, but due to the imperial court's major political adjustments and internal troubles, he hadn't been able to make the trip.

By this year, the Eastern Tour was once again on the agenda, and even the tour plan was formulated. As a result, a flood in the Central Plains caused flooding, and naturally it ran aground again.

After procrastination, until the end of early autumn, Emperor Liu officially issued an edict to go on tour.However, due to the turbulent and eventful past few months, the purpose of Emperor Liu's tour has also changed. There is less leisure and leisure, and more people in Yanhe County who have been severely damaged physically and financially by the flood disaster. It also needs the comfort of the emperor's kindness.

The entourage of nearly [-] people stretched for several miles. After all, they were not going to war, so they were not so compact. In addition, there were a lot of supplies and followers in the entourage, including the family members and entourages of ministers and ministers.When it comes to the size of the number of people, this time is ranked first among Emperor Liu's previous tours.

As the current prime minister, Zhao Pu was also on the entourage, and it was Wang Pu who stayed in Beijing to assist the prince.Speaking of which, this was Zhao Pu's first tour with Emperor Liu since he became Prime Minister, which can be regarded as a kind of favor.After all, there are probably more opportunities to go on patrol with the driver, to enter and leave the forbidden, and to talk from time to time than in the capital.

Emperor Liu also told Zhao Pu that he understands that he has worked hard for the state affairs for several years, and it is too hard. Taking this opportunity, he also went out for a walk to relax and relax.

Although Zhao Pu felt that he didn't need it, he still had to express his sincere gratitude to Emperor Liu for his concern.Of course, what Zhao Pu thought of himself was to take advantage of this opportunity to observe the situation of the local political and civilian population with his own eyes.

Zhao Pu's car was not far from Luanjia, and Emperor Liu personally confessed to him to show his closeness, and it was also convenient for him to call him at any time.Maybe the road is smooth, or the shock absorption is better. The bumps are inevitable, but they are still comfortable, and it does not affect Zhao Pu's review of official documents.

Although the capital and the imperial court were handed over to the crown prince, the real center of the big man was obviously still in camp, with Emperor Liu, especially Zhao Pu, a prime minister like a model worker.

Apparently, Zhao Pu couldn't be idle, even during this tour, he still did not forget about his official business, and still dealt with some affairs that could be handled without feeling tired.

And beside Zhao Pu's car, there are dozens of capable post and post officials waiting on them. These people are always ready to be dispatched after listening to and conveying official documents and government orders.

After sitting in the carriage for two hours, Zhao Pu finally had time to rest and opened the window to look outside.The brigade is still moving slowly, and it is far from leaving the city circle of Luoyang. The surrounding area is also full of various buildings. You can see towns and villages, and the atmosphere of people's livelihood is very strong.

Looking at such a scene, Zhao Pu couldn't help but sigh, he didn't seem very interested, it was a kind of psychological abnormality.

The car is very stable and sits comfortably, but Zhao Pu always has a strange feeling.Subconsciously, he recalled Zhengshitang in his mind. He had just left Luoyang not long ago, and he had already begun to miss the public case he had been sitting on for several years.

Probably because of the mentality of "a man should not be powerless for a day", Zhao Pu feels that he still prefers to issue orders and guide the country in the political affairs hall, which can bring more psychological stability.

"Is Mr. Zhao there?" While Zhao Pu's thoughts were racing, a call came from outside.

Some high-pitched voices were quickly reported, and it was His Majesty the Emperor who had summoned him.Zhao Pu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came to his senses. After tidying up a bit, he prepared to get out of the car and go to Miansheng. Outside the car, guards had already prepared horses.

"I see Your Majesty!" Zhao Pu was honored to have the opportunity to board the car to meet him without incident.

"Okay, no courtesy!" Emperor Liu looked at the respectful Zhao Pu with a smile, stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, and said, "It's still on the way, it's hard work on your back, sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Pu thanked him, and then asked, "I don't know if Your Majesty is calling for your ministers, but what is your order?"

Emperor Liu looked at him and said: "It's nothing, the journey is lonely, and I specially called Zhao Qing to have a chat. Seeing that you look tired, you are dealing with official duties in the car again! I heard that it is less than two days. In an hour, more than a dozen post riders have been dispatched to various parties. My intention is to let you relax, and you have worked so hard, I am ashamed!"

Hearing this, Zhao Pu said with a slight smile on his lips, "Your Majesty cares, and I am grateful. However, Your Majesty entrusts your ministers with state affairs, and you should do your duty. How dare you slack off because of the journey!"

Judging by his appearance, he might not be able to persuade him. Of course, it can be seen that Zhao Pu is enjoying it.Therefore, Emperor Liu changed the topic in a timely manner and said, "How is the treatment of the epidemic in the Central Plains?"

Mentioning this, Zhao Pu's expression became serious and serious, and he calmly said: "According to the recent reports from the states, it has been barely controlled, the road traffic in each state has been effectively blocked, and the imperial court has dispatched thousands of medical officers and doctors to support. The cause of the epidemic this time is also caused by drinking water after the flood, and the local governments have also organized the digging of new wells to find clean water sources.”

"Drinking water is indeed an important issue!" Emperor Liu sighed, "What's the problem?"

Zhao Pudao: "There are all kinds of difficulties, but the most important thing is that there is still a lack of medical treatment. The minister has already ordered that they be dispatched from all over the place!"

"We still have to do our best to control it, and strictly order officials from all over the country. Whoever dares to neglect this matter will be severely punished!" Emperor Liu said coldly.

"Yes! I understand!" Zhao Pu nodded.Of course he understands that this kind of thing is not less harmful than the flood.

Floods can sweep away people and cause huge damage to production and property, but those can be rebuilt and repaired. However, once the epidemic spreads uncontrollably, the crisis will be tens of thousands. Even the lives of millions of people.Of course, judging from the current population mobility, it would not be that exaggerated. However, Zhao Puke did not dare to be careless at all. If something happened, he would be responsible.
