Han Shizu

Chapter 201 Shi Qing, I want to take care of you

As the night deepened, a few points of light slowly moved towards the Wenming Hall where Liu Chengyou lived temporarily. From a distance, the guard team had noticed the situation early, and it was only when they got closer that they could see clearly. It was a few servants with palace lanterns. The maids surrounded the Queen Fu Shi.

"See the saint." The on-duty Dianzhi immediately greeted him and bowed in a low voice.

"Exemption!" Dafu was generous, stretched out his hand to help, glanced into the brightly lit hall, and asked, "Is the official family here?"

"The final report will be made!"

After being notified, after entering the palace, Dafu found that Liu Chengyou was holding the imperial case and pinching the bridge of his nose, as if he was extremely tired.

Between the two, it can be considered familiar, without too much politeness.Liu Chengyou glanced at her, um, he didn't bring supper.
"Why are you here?" Liu Chengyou asked with a sigh of relief, taking his queen's hand, leading him to sit beside him, playing with it gently.

"This Luo Palace is poor, and it's hard to sleep alone in the cold night. I miss the official family in my heart, so I came to visit." Da Fu's face was a little rosy, and he responded warmly.

Her words could easily cause ambiguity, as if there was a sense of lack of comfort.
Da Fu glanced at the memorials piled up on the imperial case, and asked, "Did it affect the management of the official family?"

"Hey, sooner or later I'm going to be exhausted in this pile of memorials!" Liu Chengyou couldn't help complaining.

Even during the west tour, some important memorials from Tokyo were still sent to the Imperial Palace for Liu Chengyou's imperial review and instructions.When Liu Chengyou said this, it was obvious that he was upright in his mouth. If there were no disturbance from these memorials, he would be worried and worried that the power would be left behind.

But the fatigue on Liu Chengyou's eyebrows can't be faked at all. Seeing this, Da Fu couldn't help persuading him: "The official is a wise king. He is diligent in political affairs and works hard for the country. He must also take care of his body!"

"So many stupid and violent officials have been dealt with along the way. The rule is clean and people's morale is uplifted. Why are the officials still so worried?" Liu Chengyou could feel that he was in a bad mood, and Dafu gently expressed his concern, wanting to help him Take it easy.

"When I arrived in Luoyang, I realized that this area of ​​Xijing is not owned by me!" Liu Chengyou's tone was full of anger.

The big talisman was suddenly surprised: "Could it be the king's land in the whole world, why did the officials say such a thing?"

"This..." Liu Chengyou opened his mouth, then forcibly swallowed it, and waved his hands: "Forget it, don't mention these troublesome things!"

"Don't watch it! It's just that I'm hungry, so you eat with me." Liu Chengyou stood up, stretched, twisted his body, and said to Dafu.

"The officials don't read the memorials anymore?" Da Fu was a little surprised.

"Everything that needs my instructions has been dealt with, and the remaining ones have been dealt with by the prime ministers. Tonight, I can just be lazy!" Liu Chengyou said.

"Yes!" Dafu replied.

Since the servants were preparing to eat, Liu Chengyou went to the east hall of the hall, frowned a little, the two sat opposite each other, it seemed that the list was still visible, so he ordered: "Send someone to see if the imperial concubine has rested, if she hasn't gone to bed, Let her come."

Of course, Liu Chengyou had already ordered so, even if Gao Huaijin really rested, he still had to get up and come to serve him.However, upon hearing Liu Chengyou's order, Da Fu frowned slightly, and then quickly returned to normal, with no displeasure on his expression.

Nothing exciting happened that night.

Due to the prohibition on alcohol, it is natural not to drink alcohol, otherwise Liu Chengyou may use the feeling of alcohol to try the taste of one dragon and two phoenixes.

Li Shaoyou's work was very efficient, but within two days, he presented a list to Liu Chengyou, and each name was clearly explained.Identity, experience, magnate title, land property, how many farmers, crimes committed, etc.

There are officials from both the eastern and western capitals, the old officials of the former dynasty are the main ones, and the lonely and weak are the first, plus those "conditions" that won Liu Chengyou's heart.Li Shaoyou obviously put his heart into it.

In fact, these questions basically don't require too much effort to investigate, and the previous generation did those things with little restraint.However, picking out these dozens of "chickens" is the most troublesome.

"Good job!" Liu Chengyou said to Li Shaoyou, putting away the list of books.

Li Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately humbly expressed that he had lived up to the emperor's trust.

While Liu Chengyou was contemplating, Li Shaoyou's eyes rolled around twice, and he cupped his hands and asked, "Officials, do you want me to bring people to arrest people according to the list?"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but glanced at him, but seeing his humble face, he pondered for a while, Liu Chengyou put down the list, and said flatly: "This matter should not be handled by Wu Desi."

A trace of disappointment flashed in the depths of his pupils, but Li Shaoyou still respectfully replied: "Yes!"

Now that the list has been drafted, it is natural not to leave it alone, but to deal with it strictly, and Liu Chengyou has also thought about the person in charge.

Later, Liu Chengyou summoned Shi Hongzhao to the palace for an audience.

"Let me ask you, why did the officials call me?" Outside the Hall of Civilization, Shi Hongzhao grabbed the servant's arm and asked sternly.

Shi Hongzhao's hands were strong, and the servant was in pain, but he didn't dare to make a loud noise. He suppressed the "ouch" sound, twisted his expression, and said in a forgiving tone: "I don't know."

Only then did Shi Hongzhao let go of the eggless eunuch, seeing his unbearable performance, his eyes were full of contempt.

"Chen Shi Hongzhao, see Your Majesty!" In front of Liu Chengyou, Shi Hongzhao was still "reserved" and put on airs, even the act of paying respects to him felt a bit far-fetched.

Liu Chengyou glanced at him, stopped writing and got up, and helped him up himself, his movements were done in one go, and his attitude was friendly: "Shi Qing is not polite."

When being supported by Liu Chengyou, Shi Hongzhao was a little surprised. He felt something called "goodwill" from Liu Chengyou's behavior.

He personally led him to a seat and served tea. Under Liu Chengyou's deliberate creation, the atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers seemed very harmonious for the first time.On the contrary, Shi Hongzhao felt uncomfortable.Although he is vulgar, he is not a complete idiot, so he can naturally feel Liu Chengyou's dislike for him on weekdays.

In the tea room, I thought to myself, but I couldn't think of a reason, so I could only silently wait for Liu Chengyou to speak.

"Shi Qing is the pillar of the great man's arm. Since I took the throne, I haven't talked with Qing deeply, but it's my omission." Liu Chengyou said some modest words first, then paused, looked at Shi Hongzhao and said: "I In the past few days, I have recalled from time to time the difficulties of the first emperor in starting a business. I remembered that last year, Shi Qing fought bloody battles with the soldiers of the army, expelled the barbarians, restored the country, and created a great Han. Shi Qing is the number one hero in the Central Plains, and he has made great contributions. But thinking about it now, it is infinitely emotional.”

Liu Chengyou's compliment made Shi Hongzhao even more puzzled, but his tense expression relaxed a little.When mentioning his credit, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a little complacency.

But looking at Liu Chengyou's young face, he asked directly: "What is your majesty calling ministers, just say it!"

Liu Chengyou didn't care about his attitude, and said directly: "Recently, I think of the soldiers of the forbidden army, who will die loyally and die. There are big men. Although there are rewards and promotions in the past, they still feel insufficient. Therefore, I want to use the fertile soil of Liangji to distribute them to the soldiers. .”

Hearing what Liu Chengyou said, Shi Hongzhao suddenly became interested, cupped his hands and said, "The officials are wise!"

"However—" Liu Chengyou expressed a turning point in a timely manner, showing anger and helplessness in his expression: "However, after arriving in Luoyang, I sent someone to ask for land, and found that there is no one inch of land around Xijing that can be rewarded!"

Hearing this, Shi Hongzhao was even more surprised: "How could it be? The land of Yiluo is so vast, how could there be a lack of land?"

Liu Chengyou spread his hands, sighed, and explained the situation a little depressed.The bias is clear, avoiding the important and taking the light, basically pulling the hatred value to those old and honored officials.

Sure enough, Shi Hongzhao slapped his chair in front of Liu Chengyou, and said angrily, "The officers and men are bathed in blood and endured the pain, so they are not allowed to be sealed. How dare they invade the land so recklessly?"

Shi Hongzhao's family also owns property in Xijing, but it's not much.This time, from Liu Chengyou's mouth, he clearly learned that the bureaucratic minister had received so many benefits, so he was naturally dissatisfied.

It is false to speak up for the soldiers, to hold injustices, and the psychological imbalance is the truth.

Liu Chengyou expressed his satisfaction with Shi Hongzhao's reaction, and then said: "I want to fix it, but this is a difficult matter, and the minister who can live in shock is responsible for it."

"What's so difficult about this?" Shi Hongzhao said directly, "Your Majesty, I can hand it over to my minister!"
