Han Shizu

Chapter 323 Return to Beijing
In February Wuyin (the fourth day of the lunar new year), the emperor and empress drove out from the Changshe, and returned to Beijing under the worship of the Changshe scholars and people.

I stayed for an extra day to see the reaction of the people in Xuzhou to the result of the Liu Xin case, and the feedback was good.Under the imperial edict, the first evil was severely punished, and the evil was severely punished. In addition, Liu Chengyou's sincere and sincere imperial edict of guilt made the people happy.

The most important thing is that the aftermath measures ordered by Liu Chengyou have benefited Xuzhou scholars and people.Punish evil to vent anger, stop greed and dissipate anger, and reduce taxes to gain profits. Under such circumstances, Liu Xin's life and death are not what the people at the bottom care about.In addition, Liu Chengyou's handling of him also showed his sincerity.

After all, the people of this era are used to suffering and being exploited, so their expectations are not too high.Compared with the turmoil and precarity during the war period, Liu Xin's evil dragon has not forced them to the point where they cannot survive. Of course, if it lasts for another year or so, it may not be certain.

For the sake of performance, a young accompanying censor suggested that Liu Chengyou return the money and goods belonging to Liu Xin and his henchmen to the common people, but Liu Chengyou avoided it.

Liu Chengyou can see many things clearly.As far as ordinary people are concerned, those who rob them are deterred by the power and force. I am afraid that there will not be too much turmoil for a while. If the culprit is dealt with and the land is returned, instead of hoping, the resentment will disappear.

If you let go of money that cannot be carefully examined, it is conceivable that the chaos caused will be more serious than robbing them.On the one hand, it is difficult to be safe because of the lack of people's hearts, and on the other hand, it is impossible to compensate the looted property from house to house and return it to the treasury, which is the most suitable, effective and less troublesome way.

During the trip to Xuzhou, what Liu Chengyou obtained was not a robbery, the basic goal was achieved, not to mention other hidden gains, but the most intuitive things from the confiscation of Liu Xin's family property, money, silk, silk, porcelain, gold, and silver , Jade worth more than 170,000 min.According to Liu Xin's method of accumulating money, it is not surprising to have such a huge amount of money.

Compared with the time when I came, I did not return the same way, but changed the route. I chose to patrol eastward from Changsha, go to Yanling, pass Fugou, cross the River, and then return to Tokyo along the old road of Caishui.Since the Later Liang Dynasty, the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture has continued to expand. Two hundred miles south of Tokyo City, the three counties of Yanling, Fugou, and Xiangyi that originally belonged to the three prefectures of Xu, Chen, and Song were all divided into Kaifeng Prefecture.

Therefore, when Yujia left Xuzhou, it was Kaifeng. He walked slowly all the way to observe the people's livelihood and customs.Of course, with the brigade following each other, it is impossible to say how detailed Liu Chengyou's observation is.It's just that the passing county and town officials are called to investigate.

Even so, there are gains. At least on the surface, the officials at the county and town level under the Kaifeng Prefecture have a decent quality during the year-long blood replacement.If it wasn't for the fact that time didn't allow it, Liu Chengyou was determined to go south and east again.

The imperial driving team stretched for several miles, the dust was not moving, and the sound of people, animals, vehicles, flags and wind was mixed, but the entire marching team was orderly and orderly, which Liu Chengyou was very happy about.

Empress Fu's attendants were by her side, chatting with Liu Chengyou.Probably, Liu Chengyou went to Concubine Gao when encountering "extraordinary incidents" before, "confided", and then accidentally disclosed to the queen for some reason, and this was the case on the way back to Beijing.

The situation in the car was like this. Liu Chengyou rested his head on Dafu's leg, feeling the soft thigh, smelling the fragrance from his body.

"This trip to Xuzhou will solve a problem in my mind!" Liu Chengyou closed his eyes, squeezed his head into the big talisman's arms, as if he was going to drill into the deep, and muttered in his mouth.

The queen's pretty face was blushing, but she casually hugged Liu Chengyou more firmly.

Hearing what he said, Dafu didn't shy away from it, anyway, it was Liu Chengyou who brought it up on his own initiative. After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Erlang is still thinking about the emperor's uncle?"

On the way back to Beijing, Dafu slowly changed his address to Liu Chengyou, becoming friendly and natural, and Liu Chengyou also responded calmly.

"What do you think the world will think of me?"

Dafu thought for a while, and said it better: "Your Majesty is just and selfless, righteous and noble."

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou smiled immediately.

"Why is Erlang laughing?"

The hand holding the big talisman is different from Concubine Gao Guifei, delicate and soft, Liu Chengyou said quietly: "If it is beneficial to the country, how can I care about the opinions of the people in the world?"

Liu Chengyou's words were a little distorted, and also a little crazy.But it fell into the ears of the big talisman, but it felt heroic.

"Officials, Wang Shu often asks to see you!" Zhang Dejun reported outside.

The car continued to move forward, Liu Chengyou lifted the curtain to look out: "What's the matter?"

Holding a set in his hand, Wang Pu reported to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, the Taiyuan special performance is coming to Beijing, and the Zhongshu is forwarded to Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's lazy expression disappeared, his back straightened, and he stretched out his hand: "Present!"

Sensing Liu Chengyou's tone, Zhang Dejun hurried to deliver, much faster than usual.

For Liu Chong's solo performance, the envelope was simply flipped through, and there was no sign of opening it, so I opened it for reading.The letter was only two pages, and Liu Chengyou read it quickly, and a reserved smile gradually rose from the corner of his mouth.

"What's the matter?" With Dafu's intelligence, of course he sensed something was wrong, and asked in a gentle voice.

"It's nothing. It's just that the emperor's uncle stayed in Jinyang for a long time, and he missed the queen mother and me a little, so he wrote me a letter from home!" Liu Chengyou slowly reset his lips, speaking simple and relaxed, but he was very serious in his hands. The letter was folded and placed on a small case in the carriage.

It was just there, and the big talisman only took a few glances, but didn't take another look.Of course she knew in her heart that things were not that simple.

In Liu Chong's letter, although there are some words of condolence, the core meaning is very clear. Hearing of the changes in Xuzhou, he begged Liu Chengyou to forgive Liu Xin, otherwise.
Liu Chengyou said it was a letter from the family, and he was right.If Liu Chengyou agrees, it's a letter from the family, if he doesn't, it's a threat!
Unhappy, of course, breeds in Liu Chengyou's heart, no monarch can bear the threat of his subordinates.However, my heart was relieved a little bit, fortunately Liu Xin was spared, even if he was dying.

Liu Chengyou also knew about Liu Xin's letter to Jinyang, so he was not too surprised to receive Liu Chong's special performance.

As for how to respond to Liu Chongzhi's letter, Liu Chengyou didn't have much choice.It is impossible to turn around and attack the emperor's uncle in the north to cause a disaster.Liu Chong, he is the uncle of the emperor who is a direct relative, and guarding the east of the river, not a Xuzhou who can be compared.

"Where are you? How far is it from Tokyo?" Liu Chengyou asked after calming down.

"Going back to the official's house, we have arrived in Chenliu's territory, nearly a hundred miles away from Tokyo!"

"Send the order, speed up, and arrive in Beijing tomorrow!"
