Han Shizu

Chapter 1790
Emperor Liu's performance in the Zichen Palace is like a magical mirror for the courtiers to compare and examine. Everyone feels differently and gains differently.

Worry may be common, but the severity is different, and the reaction is different. The prince Liu Yang is also the same.

Today's Emperor Liu, speaks according to his heart, unlike in the past, he has to put on a show from time to time, and his words and deeds make people guess, but it is precisely because of "returning to the basics" that people pay more attention to it. After all, it often reflects Emperor Liu's true state of mind and thoughts.

Compared with Kaifeng, the Guangzheng Hall in Ziwei City is obviously more luxurious, with a larger layout and better facilities. Of course, it is more comfortable to do business.In fact, in the minds of many central officials, it is best to combine the facilities of Xijing with the environment of Tokyo, that is the most comfortable, but Emperor Liu is not allowed.

Naturally, Liu Yang also has his own office in Guangzheng Hall, a separate hall. After returning to Guangzheng Hall, Liu Yang devoted himself to the handling of various affairs in the hall. The arrangement of Emperor Liu is naturally a top priority and cannot be put on hold later. Yes, such as preparations for the imperial examination.

This matter is not difficult. After all, it has been established for so many years. It was Liu Yang who was reminding the instructions.

In addition, the time is relatively tight. It is already March, and Emperor Liu's Jiaqing Festival will also be celebrated. After returning to Luoyang, the first Jiaqing Festival needs to be arranged to mourn, and there is really not enough time left many.

At the same time, after the palace examination, the arrangements for this group of scholars should be prepared in advance, so as not to be in a hurry.Now it is not the same as before. There is no shortage of officials in the big man. Although there are tens of thousands of positions from the central to the local, but after decades, they have reached an overflowing state.

In addition, the number of students enrolled in medicine, agriculture, and engineering this year is almost the first of its kind in history. How to train them and use them is still in the exploratory stage and needs to be discussed.In contrast, Wuju doesn't have to worry too much, it just needs to do a good job in monitoring.

For the matter of the current examination, Liu Yang discussed with Lu Duan, Zhang Quhua and other ministers involved for nearly an hour. It was not until the end of the day that he even missed lunch before the discussion was finalized.

However, the busy work has played a role in relieving anxiety. After lunch and waking up after taking a nap, Liu Yang has completely returned to his usual state.

Thinking about it carefully, when Emperor Liu talked about Emperor Wu in the palace, his intention may be to warn his officials and himself. This is a calm and wise performance.What's more, if Emperor Liu really thinks about him, what can he do, can he resist?Regarding this point, Liu Yang has never thought about it, and never dared to think about it.

If you think about it, it seems normal. As always, just be yourself. This is what Liu Yang is good at. There is no need to scare yourself.
When Liu Yang suppressed his doubts and focused his mind on the official documents that were full of cases, Murong Defeng came to see him gracefully again.Murong Defeng was promoted again, and he was promoted to deputy privy envoy by a privy bachelor. Because he had working experience in Monan and Shanyang, he was in charge of military and political affairs in the north. The 37-year-old Murong Defeng is gradually entering the pinnacle of his life, and his official career has been smooth.

There was nothing wrong with it, being from a famous family, backed by the prince, admired by Emperor Liu, and Murong Yanzhao's comments in his early years, all made Murong Defeng famous far and wide, and he was always the object of attention.In the court, in terms of reputation, Murong Deye, who inherited the Duke of Wei, is not as good as this younger brother.

"Rixin is here, sit down!" As usual, seeing Murong Defeng, Liu Yang's attitude was extremely easy-going, as if an old friend had come.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Murong Defeng first presented a memorial, and said: "This is the plan and arrangement for domestic and foreign armies and regiments in Hexi, Yulin, Shanyang, Yanshan, and Liaodong this year, and the Privy Council has already drawn up it! "

The defensive transfer of the troops inside and outside the Han Dynasty has long been a routine, but it is adjusted almost every year, and the time is fixed at the beginning of the year. This is also a relatively important matter in the military and political affairs of the Privy Council. They are all sensitive, and often need to be reviewed by Emperor Liu in person, and they can only be implemented after agreeing.Military power is also one of the few powers that Emperor Liu has never delegated.

"Have you seen it, Your Majesty?" Liu Yang took it seriously and asked while taking it.

Murong Defeng replied: "Your Majesty has already read it, let His Highness take a look at it to see if there are any problems."

It seemed that even the emperor had no objection, so what could he, the crown prince, see? If he saw something wrong, wouldn't it prove that there was something wrong with Emperor Liu's eyes?Although Emperor Liu's eyes do have some problems now, he can't see clearly
However, Liu Yang still took a closer look, and what was involved was only the defense arrangements of the northern Daozhou, especially the borders, which were within the scope of Murong Defeng's responsibility.In fact, the adjustment plans formulated by the experts in the Privy Council have been carefully demonstrated and planned in detail, and generally there will be no problems.

Liu Yang's purpose was not to find fault. After browsing, he discovered that the plan formulated this time, compared with previous years, the biggest change is that the defense forces of the northern roads have been reduced. Hexi and Yulin are the most reduced. Seriously, Liaodong and Yanshan North Road are next, and only Shanyang has to be adjusted slightly.

"This year's adjustment seems a bit big!" After reading it, Liu Yang frowned slightly and said, "Is this what you made?"

Murong Defeng shook his head and said: "This was made by Privy Councilor Pan himself, and I just participated in the assistance. Privy Pan has been in the army for a long time, is familiar with military affairs, and has patrolled the north for many years. The plan he formulated has its own reason, at least it should be suitable for the time and situation. , is enough to ensure the peace of the borders, and can further reduce the financial pressure on the imperial court to raise troops!"

"You're talking about Privy Pan, how about it? What do you think?" Liu Yang heard a little connotation hidden in Murong Defeng's words.

After hearing this, Murong Defeng thought about it for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, in my opinion, the biggest problem with this plan is that it focuses on the outside and ignores the inside. Except for Mobei, the east and west are under pressure. , have been transferred to Anxi and Andong, and the defense forces of the important towns in the border states have been greatly weakened."

"Private Pan can't see the problem?" Liu Yang asked after thinking about it.

Murong Defeng shook his head and said: "Private Pan doesn't know, but, with Anxi and Andong Governor's Mansions defending the two wings of the Han Dynasty, it is enough to be safe. In this case, it is a waste of time to garrison heavy troops in the inner Daozhou Suspect, appropriate reduction and adjustment is also necessary, and the minister also agrees!
What I worry about is not in the present, but in the future, not outside, but inside the wall."

"You are bold!" As soon as Murong Defeng finished speaking, Liu Yang yelled angrily, and even stood up.

Noticing Liu Yang's annoyed expression, Murong Defeng remained calm and said: "Your Highness, the attitude of the minister has never changed, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. In recent years, the power of Anton and Anxi is It is growing stronger, but the control of the imperial court is constantly weakening. His Majesty is here, so nothing will happen, it is just inevitable for a day."
