Chapter 208 The end of the Western Tour
"The two ministers are both heroes of generals. They are able to look outstanding. They are responsible for defending and defending. I can rest assured." With one hand supporting the other, Liu Chengyou's attitude became more friendly, and he was very satisfied with the reactions of the two old generals.

"Of course, I'm just making the necessary arrangements in case of emergencies. As a king, it is best to obey the will of heaven above and respond to the hearts of the people below. It is naturally best to have peace and harmony between the monarch and his ministers," Liu Chengyou added.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao and Wang complimented.

I just don't know what the two of them are thinking.If you take the emperor's words too seriously, you will not go far in your official career.

"Don't disclose what I discussed with Er Qing tonight!" Liu Chengyou raised his eyes to look at the gloomy night sky, and said: "It's getting late, so don't disturb me, I'm going back to the palace."

"For Your Majesty."

"Stay."

Although Liu Chengyou had spoken, Zhao Hui and Wang Yan sent him to the gate of the residence in person.Standing at the door, Liu Chengyou noticed Zhao Yanjin who was following him again, and he said casually: "I just talked with Yanjin, and I dealt with it appropriately, wisely, and quite to my liking. How about returning to Tokyo with me and serving in the imperial court?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hui turned his head to look at his son, paused for a moment, and replied: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the dog."

After waving his hand, Liu Chengyou looked at Wang Yan again: "I still remember that Wang Qing has a son named Han Lun."

"Last year, he risked his death and went to Jinyang to serve the watch. His courage was extraordinary. The imperial court did not reward him generously. I want to transfer him to Tokyo for appointment. What do you think?" Liu Chengyou's tone seemed to be full of appreciation.

Wang Yan didn't have much hesitation, and said directly: "The minister immediately sent a letter to let the dog go to Beijing to serve His Majesty."

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Liu Chengyou boarded the car.After Luan drove away and walked away under the escort of the palace guards, Zhao Hui and Wang Yan who were standing in front of the door breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and looked at each other with wry smiles.

"Father, the emperor asked Brother Hanlun and me to come to Beijing as officials, so he didn't mean to use us as hostages." At this time, his son Zhao Yanjin muttered beside him.

"Shut up!" Hearing this, Zhao Hui scolded immediately, his eyes flicked around, but seeing that they were all trusted people, he let out a foul breath, and then admonished: "The emperor can see It is your good fortune to be with you. In the future, I will serve as an official in Tokyo, so please be cautious in your words and deeds, but if you dare to speak out and make mistakes, I will not go around lightly!"

"Brother Zhao, Yanjin is just an unintentional remark." Wang Yan comforted from the side: "The two sons can help each other when they come to Beijing."

"Having such an emperor might be a blessing in the world, but for Fang Zhen and me, hey," Zhao Hui couldn't help sighing.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that Liu Chengyou called his second son to Beijing, which was both a grace and a hostage, and it all depended on how the two behaved.

"It's enough for me to work hard all my life to get this status. If I don't have delusional thoughts, why should I be afraid of other things? It's a good thing for my children and grandchildren to seek prosperity in the future!" Wang Yan said bluntly.

"Brother Wang's words are reasonable." Hearing this, Zhao Hui agreed.

"The Son of Heaven is just like rumors. I have heard about the situation in Hezhong for a long time in Shanzhou. His generation is full of ulterior motives, and he is really suicidal. If the Son of Heaven has this kind of means, how can Li Shouzhen be his opponent?" Zhao Hui said again sighed.

"This emperor is still so young, and the future of a great man can be expected." Wang Yan mentioned the key question, and his tone was full of emotion.

Although Luoyang City was in decline as a whole, the roads were not congested, and Luanjia drove steadily on Tianjie, heading straight for the palace gate.Liu Chengyou leaned peacefully on the soft pillow, closed his eyes, thinking constantly in his mind, but his mood was extraordinarily calm.For Zhao Hui and Wang Yan, is Liu Chengyou really at ease? Not always.

However, since he came to the door to entrust him with the responsibility of his heart, of course Liu Chengyou has carefully considered it.Regarding Zhao and Wang, Liu Chengyou made a decision after inquiring from many parties and having a deep understanding of their temperament, ability, way of doing things, and governing the army.

This is also the reason why Liu Chengyou treats them differently because they are both the first righteousness and the three festivals, and they all surround Pu and Tong.I still have great confidence in both.

When you come to the door tonight, while showing favor and favor, you are also establishing your prestige.The prestige of the Son of Heaven does not depend blindly on power, oppression and intimidation, but the bearing of speech and self-cultivation of aspirations are formed invisibly.

Regarding Li Shouzhen, of course Liu Chengyou couldn't just rely on Zhao Hui and Wang Yan to put Bai Wenke in Jingzhao and Yang Ye in Tongguan, both of which are very important moves.Moreover, if Li Shouzhen's rebellion is really to be suppressed, it will ultimately have to rely on the Imperial Guard's efforts.

As for Xue Huairang from Tongzhou, to be honest, Liu Chengyou didn't think he was much of a threat to the imperial court.Even Li Shouzhen was not as afraid of Liu Chengyou as he appeared on the surface.

From the beginning, Li Shouzhen's "chicken" attribute was implemented by Liu Chengyou.As Liu Chengyou survived the transition period at the beginning of his succession, the deployment and handling became smoother.It was a little surprising that Xue Huairang appeared, and seemed to want to be a chicken too.

"Mr. Feng, Li Shouzhen and Xue Huairang ignored my orders. How do you think I should respond to this?" In the palace, Liu Chengyou summoned Feng Dao, the accompanying minister, and asked.

On the side, Feng Dao was sitting cautiously, with a contemplative look on his respectful old face, as if he was secretly trying to figure out what Liu Chengyou was thinking. He paid attention to Liu Chengyou's reaction from the corner of his eye, and tentatively said: "Send an edict, check the reason, let the two Give the court an explanation?"

"The actions of these two people are openly provoking the majesty of me and the court. Just a gentle reprimand? If it is passed on, what is my face and what is the face of the court? Wouldn't it make people in the world look down on me?" Me? If all the provinces followed suit, the world would still be in chaos?" Liu Chengyou immediately waved his hands, expressing his displeasure.

Seeing this, Feng Dao thought about it carefully for a while, and looked at Liu Chengyou with clear eyes: "Could it be that His Majesty wants to punish the crime directly?"

This sentence caught Liu Chengyou directly. If he really intended to do this, he would have issued an edict long ago, so why bother talking about it with Feng Dao here.Feng Dao probably guessed what Liu Chengyou was thinking.

"Your Majesty, Li Shouzhen harbors different ambitions because he is intimidated by the power of the imperial court and afraid of disasters, so he is not at ease in order to protect himself." Feng Dao said slowly to Liu Chengyou: "The imperial court only needs to appease, but it can be done. Be at ease, and there will be no chaos."

Listening to his words, Liu Chengyou grinned a little mockingly: "Appeasement is possible, but peace cannot be sought!"

Hearing this, Feng Dao changed his tone very naturally, and said: "Since this year, Li Shouzhen has been in the river, completed the city wall, repaired the armor, and worked day and night. It is obvious that his heart of misconduct is far beyond the rules of the minister. The imperial court must not tolerate it."

Liu Chengyou just looked at Feng Dao like this, to see how he got around the argument.

Just listen to his words: "The abnormal situation in the river has become a problem for the court, and the worries of the confidant must be eliminated. However, this matter should be delayed rather than urgent, and another good opportunity needs to be found. When the time comes, a thunderbolt strike will be launched to eradicate it. This trouble!"

Liu Chengyou changed his posture slightly, and looked at Feng Dao curiously: "What does Feng Qing mean by the good opportunity?"

"Fine armored soldiers, enough food and pay!" Feng Dao replied.

"The exact timing!" Liu Chengyou asked.

"Maybe after the summer harvest this year." Feng Dao hesitated a little.

Hearing his answer, Liu Chengyou nodded very slowly.About Li Shouzhen, Liu Chengyou seldom discussed with Feng Dao before, but his suggestion was very close to what Liu Chengyou thought.This is probably in the general trend, different routes lead to the same goal, coincidentally.

"Before the western tour, Li Shouzhen wrote a letter to Yang Bin and Shi Hongzhao, asking for assurances that there was no difference. What do you think he meant by this?" Liu Chengyou asked.

Without hesitation, Feng Dao said, "Perhaps, he wants to paralyze the court."

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Chengyou waved his hands and said: "He wants to numb me, and I still want to numb him!"

Turning around, Liu Chengyou said bluntly to Feng Dao: "This time, I will not only not punish him, but also reward him, increase his official status, promote his title, and shade his son. I will also give him an iron certificate to exonerate him. A gold medal. I will also send ministers on missions to appease and show my heart!"

When Liu Chengyou said this, he was murderous.Hearing this in Feng Dao's ears, he felt a little chilly, where did the emperor come from such a deep city at such a young age.The young emperor, who hides his vigor in his chest, endures what ordinary people can't bear, is really extraordinary.

"Feng Qing, would you like to take a walk in the river for me?" Liu Chengyou asked suddenly.

Hearing Qi's words, Feng Dao's face suddenly changed, and now he understood Liu Chengyou's real purpose for calling him to talk so much.Some hesitated, Hezhong is now a place of right and wrong, the emperor asked him to go, it is impossible to really just let him go for a walk.He kind of didn't want to go because of his "talent".

However, in the end, he still nodded and said: "If your majesty doesn't think your minister is old and late, I would like to go and show your majesty grace."

"Li Shouzhen, my fellow, the river is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair, you don't have to worry, just take a visit, the more relaxed the better." Probably knowing what Feng Dao was worried about, Liu Chengyou comforted him.

Feng Dao took it for granted, and was already thinking about what to do after arriving in the river.He and Li Shouzhen still had a friendship, and they didn't care about their lives, just afraid that if they fell into it.With the mission of appeasement, Feng Dao has to take good care of how to control his stubborn fangs and bluntness temporarily.

Jingzhao, Tongguan, Jinjiang, Shanzhou and other soldiers and horses, plus Feng Dao and his party, against Hezhong, Liu Chengyou is kind and powerful, and he uses all means, just to stabilize him for the time being, and give Liu Chengyou half a year of farming time.

Then, according to Liu Chengyou's thinking, when the time came, Li Shouzhen would have to.Just like Du Chongwei last year, Liu Chengyou has already done similar things. This time, he will handle it completely, and it will only be more handy.

With the arrangements for the matter in the river established, Liu Chengyou's trip to the west was declared to be over.

Renshen, under Liu Chengyou's edict: March Jiashu (25), Luanjia returned to the court.The generals in Luoyang breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before Dong returns to Kaifeng, Liu Chengyou has one last arrangement.It was a temporary idea, but it also seemed to have been planned long ago.All in all, the results look intriguing
