Han Shizu

Chapter 365
As night fell, a royal banquet was held in Yongqingxing. The banquet was of high standard. After all, the emperor ordered the organization and personally accompanied it.With the usual frugal style, the dishes are not rich, let alone delicate, but there is one thing, the wine is full, the meat is full, and without restraint, it is enough for a warrior who is braving the wind and rain at the border.

There was a lot of noise during the banquet, and the generals were chatting with each other, echoing constantly, and even seemed a little noisy.There were dozens of civil and military people present, and the accompanying civil servants headed by the prime minister Li Tao couldn't help but express their displeasure at this, with a slightly repulsive expression hanging on their faces.

Liu Chengyou didn't take it seriously, he lived in the court case, and looked at his generals and officials with a kind attitude.Gujing Wubo's eyes flashed a little sharply from time to time, as if he was thinking about who can be used as a help, who is worth winning over, who needs to be checked and balanced, and who should be suppressed...

Concubine Xian Zhexiaoniang was also present with her attendant, she was dressed in a not-so-luxury palace attire, but she showed a sassy temperament, sitting beside Liu Chengyou.From time to time, Liu Chengyou would tilt his head and whisper a few words to Mrs. Zhe, which seemed to be a whisper between the couple. The little lady had a smile on her lips, and the two got along very harmoniously. Liu Chengyou's love for Mrs. Zhe was beyond words.

"Minister He Fujin, I wish your majesty and your wife a safe and peaceful body, and may the Han Dynasty last forever!" During the chat, the Han Dynasty who had not yet officially performed their duties deployed He Fujin to come out, holding a cup to congratulate Liu Chengyou.

Standing in the hall, He Fujin's burly body is like a pine tree. Although he is old, the wrinkles on his face seem to have the determination of a sword. This is a veteran who has experienced many battles.Several generals followed behind, and together they expressed their respect to Liu Chengyou.

Some were unexpectedly entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, or ushered in another spring in his career, He Fujin's brows showed a little complacency.

Looking at this handsome old man, Liu Chengyou was very satisfied with his submissive attitude.Recalling the year of Han Xing, after the Battle of Luancheng, Liu Chengyou personally invited He Fu to enter and leave the mountain as the defense envoy of Yingzhou when he was recommended. At that time, He Fujin was very reserved in front of him.

Of course, Liu Chengyou would not naively think that, if entrusted with a heavy responsibility, He Fujin would truly and unreservedly be loyal to himself and the great man.After all, it seems that such warriors who have experienced turmoil and killing in the constant change of dynasties are not so easy to subdue. For three generations, the generals have little loyalty, and He Fujin's loyalty, probably after the fall of Zhuang Zong, is in great difficulty. people
Regarding this, Liu Chengyou knows it well, under the current world style, he has no unrealistic expectations for loyalty for the time being, although he is extremely eager to clean up people's hearts and reshape etiquette.What Liu Chengyou is sure of is that as long as the central government is calm and the country is stable, He Fujin's obedience will continue as the monarchy continues to consolidate.

Moreover, there is more than one He Fujin in the world. For Liu Chengyou, a person like He Shi does not affect the use of his talents to contribute to the stability of the Great Han Society.

In an instant, Liu Chengyou had some distracting thoughts in his mind, but his face did not reveal anything, his movements were steady, he picked up the wine glass with a peaceful attitude, and responded to He Fujin and the other generals: "I have received the blessings from Mr. He and everyone. However, if you want to make the Han prosperous and the world peaceful, you need to work together with me to create a great cause!"

After drinking the wine in the glass, Liu Chengyou's movements were crisp and vigorous.Faced with the emperor's words of encouragement, all the generals also cooperated very much, and they responded in unison, as if they were touched.

After drinking, Liu Chengyou left He Fujin alone in front of the imperial court, trying to continue to win over the relationship: "The general He is a little extraordinary, and he is a talented man in the world. I want to be a man in the north, and I will recommend you. I also firmly believe in He Fu. The ability and virtue of the public. Since the Tang Dynasty, Khitan has been a problem in the Central Plains, and it is an enemy of life and death in the Han Dynasty. The problem in the northern border has always been my heart disease. bother"

Liu Chengyou's visit here is more like an entrusted disclosure to the military envoys in charge of the real power in the north. Every time he talks, he looks like he is sincere and sincere.

Similar words, in the past three or two days, He Fujin probably heard a lot from Liu Chengyou, and he seemed very calm. Facing the emperor's entrustment, he just bowed solemnly and gave an affirmative answer.

"Officials, please see Marquis Zhao Yu!" Zhang Dejun reported to Liu Chengyou as he walked to the court with small steps from the side.

"pass!"

"What's the matter?" Liu Chengyou asked after glancing at Zhao Kuangyin who was approaching with windy footsteps.

"Your Majesty, Commander Murong sent someone to report that King Yan has led his troops outside the city!"

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped holding the cup, and said in a playful tone: "It's still here after all!"

"How many people did you bring?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"There are thousands of Yan riders!" Zhao Kuangyin replied: "Yan's soldiers are very domineering under the city. His Majesty invited him and made a noise to enter the city to rest and avoid the cold. Commander Murong led his troops to stop them. How to deal with them, I ask His Majesty!"

Although Zhao Kuangyin deliberately lowered his voice, the people around him still heard what he said, and they all subconsciously focused on this matter. His expression seemed to want to see how the emperor would deal with this matter.

Hearing this news, the strange expression on Liu Chengyou's face calmed down, he thought for a while, and said directly to Li Tao, the prime minister on the left: "The king of Yan came here at my invitation, so I troubled Li Xianggong to go through it hard and go for me Welcome. Tell King Yan that the banquet is in full swing here, and I respectfully wait for him to sit here!"

"Yes!" Li Tao hurriedly got up and obeyed the order.

Li Tao left the table, and Liu Chengyou looked at Zhao Kuangyin again, and ordered: "It will disturb the people, and the Yan soldiers who follow you don't need to enter the city. However, he came from a long way, and he endured the wind and cold, so he sent an order to vacate a camp Let them settle in, they will be well fed and well-supplied to keep out the cold. Also, tell Murong Yanzhao that the Yan army has been defending the border, and has made great contributions to the country for many years. It is very hard work, so please take care of it!"

Liu Chengyou pronounced the words "good life and care" very heavily.And Zhao Kuangyin seemed to understand the deep meaning.

Stepping into a capable manner, Zhao Kuangyin sent an order to leave, and Liu Chengyou returned to his calm appearance, calm and calm, and took the initiative to raise his glass again to invite wine to the civil and military banquet, and continued the banquet.

"Qi Wu, what do you think of Yan's domineering army? How should I deal with it?" After taking a sip of his wine, Liu Chengyou summoned Wang Pu and asked him questions like chatting.

Wang Pu also drank some wine, his face was a bit drunk, but his eyes were still clear and wise.After thinking for a while, he replied: "Let's try to say, the Yan army's move may be a test. Youzhou is suspended outside the court, and the king of Yan holds great power. Even if he comes to the south this time, he will treat His Majesty and the court. I'm afraid there are still doubts."

"Come here, prepare a seat for the King of Yan, on the right side of the case, closer to me!"

Listening to Wang Pu's analysis, Liu Chengyou didn't even blink his eyes, he raised his hand to touch the stubble on his chin, and said, "It seems that I still have to welcome you warmly, and I'll take care of King Yan!"

When Zhao Kuangzan, king of Yan, was welcomed into the palace by Li Tao with a bit of complicated psychology, what he was facing was that the emperor Liu Chengyou came to welcome him in front of the hall with his civil and martial arts.Seeing Zhao Kuangzan, Liu Chengyou hurried forward, shook his hand tightly, led Zhao Kuangzan in, and said "Brother Yuanfu" in his mouth.

The enthusiasm of the emperor made Zhao Kuangzan feel a little strange
