Han Shizu

Chapter 386

The monarch and ministers have reached a consensus, and the rest is left to go through the appointment process at the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council.Liu Chengyou used Zhecongruan as the inspection envoy of Lingqing, restrained the military forces of the six prefectures of Ling, Yan, Wei, Qing, Ning, and Yan, and held festivals to punish the miscellaneous captives in Hexi. He sent two thousand cavalry in front of the palace to serve as the Chinese army.

"It's just that the poor old minister worked tirelessly to go to battle. I couldn't bear it, and I didn't know how to face the concubine Xian."

Facing the emperor's emotion, Zhe Congruan took the initiative to reconcile and explain.I am no longer amazed by the way the emperor invites people to buy people's hearts, but Zhe Congruan still appreciates this attitude.

But Zhe Congruan thought more about this expedition. On the way to the Jiying Hall and the banquet, he tried his best to analyze whether there was any deep meaning behind the emperor's move.Judging from Ruan's observation, since the emperor took the throne, no matter whether it is governing or using troops, he has never been aimless, and this time the emperor personally confessed.

Not good at working hard, so it was not until the banquet in Jiying Hall that Zhe Congruan got a vague income.According to his guess, the emperor sent him to the expedition, and he also selected the elite generals of the imperial army to accompany him. The purpose of suppressing the rebellion was naturally, and in addition, it may have the meaning of showing off his martial arts.

As for who to show their power to, Zhusai Zahu, Saibei Khitan, southern countries, and of course more important, perhaps the Jiedus of the towns in the pass.The five regions of the Great Han Dynasty, regardless of Youyan for the time being, Henan and Hebei are the foundations of the country in the prosperous land of Hedong, but the Guanzhong region has always seemed to be alienated from the imperial court
Reminiscent of the imperial court's previous adjustments to the Guanyou towns twice, coupled with Shandong's annual relocation of towns and defenses, and considering the adjustments of their own prefectures.Zhe Congruan gradually became conscious, and truly understood the emperor's intentions, and strengthened the imperial court's influence and control over the towns of Guanyou.

After thinking about it, Ruan conceived an adventurous attack plan in his mind, and gave up. To suppress the rebellion in the northwest, there is no room for loss. It is better to use a two-pronged approach, suppress and appease, and proceed safely.

Obviously, it was Liu Chengyou and the imperial court's policy direction in the past few years that made the local Jiedu a little nervous, including Zhe Congruan, who overreacted.

If Liu Chengyou knew about the old general's consideration, it can only be said that he thought too much. After all, this was just an ordinary counter-insurgency decision.Even if there is an intention to demonstrate, it is only a by-product of sending troops. Who can be fooled by convicts and contempt?
Liu Chengyou is more, still wants to show the imperial court's tough attitude towards the outside world, and it is not someone or any force that can be humiliated.Although the slogan of "even if you are far away, you must be punished" is still not in place, it is still a beginning.

"Officials, Deputy Wude envoy Wang Jingchong and Daizhou regiment training envoy Yang Ye have returned to Beijing, and are resting at Xiangfu Station in the west of Beijing, waiting to be summoned!"

The report from the Chongzheng Palace made Liu Chengyou stop the ink brush in his hand for a while, and ordered: "Send people out of the palace to summon them, and let them enter the palace to see me directly!"

Half an hour later, Liu Chengyou approved more than ten reports, and the attendants in the hall also changed the candles, and only then did Wang Jingchong and Yang Ye receive the report from Wang Jingchong and Yang Ye.

"Xuan!"

There were three people who entered the hall to see them, besides Wang Jingchong and Yang Ye, plus Wang Shenqi.All three of them looked exhausted, their faces were covered with wind and frost, and their expressions were exhausted.

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you!" All bowed in unison.

"Be flat!"

Although he was not very emotional, Liu Chengyou's reaction was very enthusiastic. He got up personally, directly passed the imperial case, and walked along the imperial steps in front of the three people who got up.

"Chonggui, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!" Liu Chengyou patted Yang Ye's shoulder vigorously, his burly body remained motionless.

Pay attention to the remaining snow stains on his shoulders that have not completely melted, and reach out to wipe them off.In the face of the emperor's kindness, Yang Ye's expression was a little tense, his face was full of emotion, and he almost knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I miss you!"

Taking two steps back, he looked Yang Ye up and down a few times. After two years of training, he was obviously more mature.Although it is impossible to determine how far Yang Ye has grown, Liu Chengyou believes that it is the right decision to put him in Daizhou. After all, there is a "fetter" between Yang Ye and Yanmen.

Withdrawing his gaze, Liu Chengyou turned to Wang Shenqi who was on the side, his eyes were piercing and majestic: "Are you Wang Shenqi?"

This was the first time Wang Shenqi entered the Chongzheng Palace, and it was also the closest time to the emperor. When he confronted the emperor and questioned him, he was unavoidably excited, his face flushed, he lowered his head, and nervously replied: "Your Majesty, he is the last general! "

"You don't have to be so cramped!" The more Liu Chengyou enjoyed the awe of his subjects, especially the generals, the more forgiving he appeared in his performance.

Raising his hand, Liu Chengyou said: "I have heard about you for a long time. You have made a lot of contributions in resisting Khitan's invasion of Caogu and protecting my hometown. Yang Ye has recommended you to the imperial court many times. As well as the three counties, led the army to attack the rebels, fought bravely, and deserved the first credit!"

"The last general dare not take the credit!" After receiving the award, Wang Shenqi held back the excitement in his heart and expressed humility.

On the one hand, noticing Liu Chengyou's attitude towards Wang Shenqi, Wang Jingchong frowned slightly, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.He is very dissatisfied with Wang Shenqi at the moment, wishing he could kill him.

When he was in Xinzhou, Vice-Emissary Wang felt that he was a senior, and he took a fancy to Wang Shenqi's potential, and later in the process of sweeping up the civil unrest, Wang Shenqi showed his ability as a general, which made Wang Jingchong really happy to see him, and reported to the court to its credit.

Afterwards, with great interest, he set up a banquet to invite Wang Shenqi, expressing his heart and wanting to accept him as his adopted son.What seemed logical to Wang Jingchong was politely rejected by Wang Shenqi, so he hated it.

Nodding his head, he didn't say anything more to Wang Shenqi. It's nothing more than a junior officer. It's a great kindness to allow him to have an audience in the palace, and he doesn't need to say anything more to win people's hearts. Today's Liu Chengyou doesn't need to meet someone Potential stocks, so I paid attention to them.Unless, Wang Shenqi can make another contribution and continue to prove his ability and value to Liu Chengyou.

Turning his gaze from Wang Shenqi to Yang Ye, Liu Chengyou said directly: "It's been a hard journey home, you two should step back first, rest for a while, I'll talk to you later!"

"Yes!" Yang Ye replied.

"Come here, give me food in the corridor, so that I can entertain Hou Hou and General Wang!"

Under the guidance of the servants, Yang Ye and Wang Shenqi retreated slowly, leaving only Wang Jingchong in the hall.

Facing Wang Jingchong, Liu Chengyou didn't show too much emotion. He swept around him and looked at the bandages on his arms and shoulders: "I heard that you were assassinated. How are your injuries?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. It's just two stab wounds, which only go beyond the skin, so it's okay!" Wang Jingchong was extremely obedient.

"I heard that the assassin has some background?" Liu Chengyou didn't even blink his eyes.

Nodding his head, Wang Jingchong looked relaxed: "They are all bloody men and women, bewitched by Buddhism, claiming to be chivalrous, and take the responsibility of killing ministers to avenge and eliminate harm. I am not aware of it for a while, and I will take advantage of it for a sneak attack. Injury, that generation is really worthless, and if you turn your hand, you will be wiped out by the minister."

Liu Chengyou narrowed his eyes. According to the report he received, it was true that Wang Jingchong was assassinated, but it was not the assassin who injured him. Afterwards, Wang Jingchong himself beat him twice. It is obvious what he wanted.
As for Liu Chengyou, he didn't particularly care about these "details", but just went on with the words: "It seems that you are in the east of the river, and you have hit the sore spot of Buddhism, and you have attracted so much hatred! The Wu Desi side should continue to suppress, as for the heroic spirit, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, just kill them!"
