Han Shizu

Chapter 1575 Good News
The evening conversation between father and son and Weng and son-in-law in Qionglin Court still had a certain influence on Emperor Liu, or it deepened his thinking on Hu people's governance, border security, national finance, the military system of the Han Dynasty, and military supply and supply.

Of course, the main reason was that Emperor Liu knew very well in his heart that some problems had to be solved. The longer it was delayed, the more serious it would be, and the greater the damage it might cause after the outbreak.

It has to be said that Emperor Liu has been a little irritable recently. Even though he appears calm and peaceful on the surface, his mood is always tinged with anxiety.

There is no other reason, but I just don't like the current state of governance. In the past, especially in the Qianyou era, it can be said that Emperor Liu was ahead of the wind and waves, guiding and leading the Han Empire forward.

At that time, Emperor Liu gave full play to his subjective initiative, was energetic, tireless, and moved forward.But after entering the Kaibao Year, that kind of initiative ability seems to be gradually lost with the passage of time and the stability of the empire.

In the past, Emperor Liu was often able to predict things in advance, be prepared, and proactively discover and solve problems.Now, they can only passively wait for the problem to arise, and then seek a solution, and the whole process is not as efficient as it was at the beginning, and it seems to be muddled.

The Han Empire became stronger, and once again became a behemoth dominating the east. Similarly, this strength and size gradually imprisoned Emperor Liu, and he couldn't do every move as smoothly as before.

Emperor Liu felt that all of this revealed a problem, that his control over the empire was declining, and of course it could be said that his concerns were accumulating more and more.This feeling is very uncomfortable, especially for a monarch like Emperor Liu.

However, when Emperor Liu made up his mind to do something, no one could stop him.Of course, unlike in the past, this time, he was completely supported by the ministers, especially in terms of military expenditure. The ministers of the center stood together with Emperor Liu neatly.

When the monarch and ministers are united and united, then all changes and innovations will not be a problem. The only obstacle may be the attitude of Emperor Liu.Before he knew it, Emperor Liu was becoming more and more a conservative lord. While building a great empire, he also bound himself within it, unwilling to make changes easily.

Of course, Emperor Liu, who had entered the state, also gained enthusiasm again, even if it was only a little bit, and it was short-lived.He has the motivation to continue to transform the big man and maintain his imperial career, just like a surgeon who starts to operate after diagnosing some problems in his empire.

Before the dog days had passed, Emperor Liu returned to Bian Palace from Qionglin Garden, followed by a series of discussions. Whether it was an individual interview or a group strategy in front of the imperial court, Emperor Liu steadily and orderly promoted a new round of reforms.Perhaps it is not appropriate to describe it as reform, and improvement should be more appropriate.

Li Jilong, who returned to Beijing, unexpectedly, also participated in a meeting with a group of central ministers, discussed military and political affairs together, and made speeches.

It is conceivable how much he valued this son-in-law.Of course, there was no favoritism. Yang Yanzhao, who was still serving in Beijing, was also handpicked to attend, even if he only took the last seat. As for the second son-in-law, Chai Zongxun, he did not have this preferential treatment, after all, he was not good at military affairs.

In addition, during Emperor Liu's private meeting, Li Jilong was also called into the palace by Emperor Liu the next day, and made a further report to Emperor Liu on his thoughts on the reform of the military system.

This kind of favor is eye-catching and enviable, and it also brings great pressure to Li Jilong.For Li Jilong, Emperor Liu is both the king and the father-in-law. The dual identities are oppressive, and he faces the saint alone, and the pressure he feels is different.

No one dared to take Emperor Liu's favor for granted, and too generous favor could easily overwhelm people.Of course, Li Jilong was not that fragile, but he was a little more careful when facing Emperor Liu.

After falling into ambush, the weather also began to change, with showers and thunderstorms from time to time.Not long after, the city of Tokyo was once again shrouded in gusts of torrential rain, and the sky and the earth changed color. Bean-sized raindrops dripped violently between the palace tiles and imperial passages, splashing up bursts of water mist.

Although the rain was annoying, it also dissipated a lot of the heat of midsummer. The door of the Chongzheng Hall was wide open, and it rained heavily outside the hall. From time to time, raindrops drifted in and wet the curtains inside the hall.

With the sound of rain as the curtain, in the hall, Emperor Liu and Li Jilong, the son-in-law of Weng, are playing a game of chess. Of course, they are playing backgammon.However, compared to the chessboard, Emperor Liu paid more attention to this son-in-law. Since returning to Beijing, he has observed this person for a long time. With the training of time, Li Jilong is much calmer now than before.

The carefulness with which he faced himself, and the subconscious observation of words and demeanor made Emperor Liu quite curious. This cautiousness and humility did not have the arrogance and impetuosity of young people, and he did not know who he learned from. One thing for sure is , definitely not from Li Chuyun.

"Officials, Xiao Yuancheng and Wang Shijun are asking to see you outside the palace!" Yan Tuo stepped forward and bowed in salute.

"Oh?" Emperor Liu turned his head to look out. The dark sky set off the bright lights in the hall, and the outside of the hall was still precarious. He couldn't help being curious, waved his hand, and ordered: "Xuan!"

But after Emperor Liu's eyes that were attached to him from time to time shifted, Li Jilong who was sitting opposite could not help but get up and said: "Your Majesty has something important to discuss, and I will leave first!"

Hearing his words, Emperor Liu stared slightly and pointed at the seat: "Sit! Why are you in a hurry, are you afraid that I will eat you? Wang Yinwu and Xiao Siwen came together, and what they did must be about Mobei Khitan. Listen together! "

When Emperor Liu said this, Li Jilong dared not refuse, so he had to go back to his seat and sit silently.

In the past two years, Xiao Siwen's life has been much easier, and the benefits of Xiao Chuo's marriage to the prince have gradually emerged. He has really begun to integrate into the upper class of the big man, and has been accepted by the ministers. The vigilance is obviously much less.Even the defection of the newly attached Khitan tribe, which had worried him deeply before, passed smoothly in the end without being criticized.

The position has also changed significantly. The vacant position of Minister of the Ministry of War was removed, and he was transferred to Lifan Yuancheng. As the deputy of Dongping King Zhao Kuangzan, he managed ethnic relations and the affairs of the Hu Minfan Department.

At the same time, Wu Desi still stayed on his job to assist in the collation and analysis of Mobei Khitan intelligence news.From fiction to reality is Xiao Siwen's biggest gain in the past two years, at least the Great Han Dynasty Hall really has its place.

Not only that, but the sons who followed him to the south also began to work in the big man. Although their titles were not high, it was also a sign that the Xiao family had truly integrated into the big man.

Not long ago, after the imperial physician found out that Xiao Yanyan was pregnant, Xiao Siwen became more motivated.

Let Emperor Liu wait for a while, Xiao Siwen and Wang Yinwu just entered the palace together, both of them were a little embarrassed, after all, they came in the rain, and there were still obvious wet marks on their bodies, most of the time wasted was spent on grooming.

"Excuse me!" Seeing the two hurriedly bowing down, Emperor Liu waved his hand lightly as if he hated this troublesome rule, and asked directly, "Second Qing came hand in hand, what's the matter?"

The two looked at each other, and Wang Yinwu reported: "Your Majesty, happy event!"

In fact, something could be seen from the expressions of the two of them. Xiao Siwen had a serious face, and although Wang Yinwu tried his best to restrain himself, there was an obvious look of joy between his brows.

After listening to his words, it must be a happy event that he dared to betray himself, otherwise Wang Yinwu would not dare to be so sure.

Turning his mind, Emperor Liu smiled lightly and said, "Why do you like it? It must be because the Khitan Lord is dead."

Hearing this, Wang Yinwu was obviously stunned, noticing Emperor Liu's casual appearance, he immediately reacted, and immediately cupped his hands and licked: "Your Majesty is holy, with candles shining for thousands of miles, staying at home, and knowing the world's major events. Your servant received Mobei Inspector Report, Lord Yeluxian of Khitan passed away [-] days ago!"

"Huh?" Emperor Liu was obviously not prepared for the sudden news, and he couldn't help showing a little surprise, and confirmed, "Is it true at this time?"

Wang Yinwu looked affirmative, and said: "I have received three waves of reports from different teams, all talking about this matter. According to the reports, Lord Khitan visited the west in May this summer to inspect his subordinates in the west. When he returned east, he died of illness in On the way! I think, even if the news is wrong and everything is wrong, the three teams have reported the truth, so it should be credible, and more detailed information should be sent to the capital one after another!"
