Chapter 533 The Storm in the River East (5)

"Well said! That's really well said!" In a flat voice, showing his sharpness, Liu Chong's brows seemed to have a haze, and he murmured: "No wonder the emperor values ​​you so much. If you are under 26 years old, you can use it as a court official." It is enough for your loyalty and courage to be appointed by Marquis Yu of the former capital!"

Liu Chong's tone seemed to be a bit sour, while Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of the situation and said, "Report to Your Majesty, at the end of the day, you will be ordered by His Majesty to come north to select virtuous and brave men and enrich the capital. We still need the cooperation of Your Majesty and the generals from Hedong. Here, I still look forward to King Haihan."

Glancing at Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Chongpi smiled and said, "That's natural. It's the duty of a courtier to do things for the emperor and the court. Why bother?"

"Your Majesty understands righteousness, and the general admires it!" Zhao Kuangyin complimented, followed by saying: "The mission of the privy secretary, I dare not neglect. I don't know when the king will provide the military registration book, and gather the soldiers for the selection of the junior general?"

Seeing this, Liu Chong chuckled: "This Marquis of Zhao Du is indeed a general of the imperial court, and he is indeed vigorous and resolute!"

I don't know what Liu Chong was enjoying, but he seemed to admire Zhao Kuangyin very much. The officials in the east of the river, who were present at the scene, laughed more often, and laughed dryly for a while.

Liu Chong waved his hand and said, "There is no need to worry about this matter. Gu has issued an order to summon soldiers from Lan, Xian, Liao, Shi and other prefectures, and gather all the troops from Hedong in Jinyang for the general to choose as he pleases!"

After Liu Chong's words fell, Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Liu Chong, and there was a hint of deep thought in his tiger's eyes.Before he could agree, he heard Liu Chong say again: "General Zhao has come all the way, and the horses and horses are exhausted. Let's drink some wine and eat some meat first. No matter how important the business is, you can't go hungry! I'm here to welcome you." Let's clean up the dust, let's raise our glasses and toast to General Zhao together!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Kuangyin said calmly and respectfully.

"Tell me, what about the imperial army here? Is there any change?" After the banquet, Liu Chong called several of his confidants to the study again and asked Li Ting.

In the hall just now, Li Ting saw that Liu Chong admired Zhao Kuangyin a lot, and his face was filled with admiration, and he felt jealous early in his heart, and he was quite dissatisfied.Hearing the question at this time, he immediately said: "The last general looked at it. The forbidden army coming from the north is nothing more than bright armor and clear flags. Other than that, it is not enough. The last general watched along the road and was worried about persecution, so he dared not speak up. Then Zhao Kuangyin, talking wildly in the hall, is just showing off his loyalty and gaining fame, don't worry about it, Your Majesty!"

Liu Chong frowned slightly, and said: "Looking at Zhao Kuangyin alone, his wonderful eyes are like lightning, neither humble nor overbearing, very human!"

"A mere 500 people, if the king orders, the last general can carry it out!" Li Ting said confidently.

Hearing his words, Liu Chong couldn't help nodding his head, thinking about it too.According to the information he received, the imperial court successively issued decrees, transferred officials, and selected elites. Except for deposing Governor Fan Zhi and Zhao Kuangyin came to the north to select troops, he did not take any action.

Such a situation made Liu Chong wonder whether he had overreacted.

However, the general of the selection has come, and Fan Zhi dealt with so many Hedong officials without mercy, without saving any face.Furthermore, the east side has already moved to this extent, and the arrow that leaves the string is irreversible.

"Send someone to monitor the [-] forbidden troops and not allow them to leave the barracks!" Liu Chong ordered solemnly.

Hearing the order, Li Ting couldn't help suggesting: "Your Majesty, why don't you just disarm him and take him into custody!"

Before Liu Chong responded, Zheng Gong hurriedly stopped him: "No, after all, they haven't broken their skins with the court. Zhao Kuangyin and others have not acted domineeringly. They acted rashly, fearing that they will fall into the trap!"

Faced with Zheng Gong's unscrupulous remonstrance, Liu Chong didn't think much about it, and asked him: "Have you prepared the memorial to the emperor?"

"Just want to ask the king to read and correct me!" Zheng Gong took out a piece of yellow silk from the sleeve of his robe.

It was written by Zheng Gong for Liu Chong, first describing the relationship between uncle and nephew, then expressing the hard work of guarding Hedong, and then expressing his own contribution to founding the country. Of course, the main purpose of this book is to ask the emperor Liu Chengyou to send an edict to feudalize the states of Hedong.Moreover, he also issued a faint question, why is the outsider of the Zhao family sealed by the land of Yan?
After Liu Chong finished reading it, he felt that the book expressed his own feelings, and it almost touched his heart.With a trace of joy on his face, he said to Zheng Gong: "When all the troops gather in Jinyang, I will send this book to Tokyo. If the emperor agrees, then everything will be fine; if not, it means that the court is ungrateful and unjust." First of all, you can't complain alone."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zheng Gong complimented.

"In addition, send people to urge the Kelan army and the Liaozhou soldiers, and say that the court angels have been waiting for a long time!" Liu Chong said with a sly smile, and looked at Zheng Gong: "The court wants to select the strong and strong, and it is famous and righteous to call them. With such a wise plan, it is worthy of a lonely arm!"

"It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the king!" Zheng Gong looked very humble.

……

Outside the south city of Jinyang, there is a thick female wall next to it, and the camp is set up for the imperial army to garrison.Zhao Kuangyin went out of the city and returned to the camp, swept the "Three Talents Guarding" the Hedong Yabing soldiers, and said with emotion: "The guards are really strict!"

"Marquis Du Yu, there are guests in the camp!" Han Lingkun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhao Kuangyin had returned to the camp, and came out to greet him, whispering to him.

"Divide the whole battalion into three offices, and take turns to be on duty. Don't be negligent and relax!" This time, Zhao Kuangyin's tone was a little solemn.

"Yes!"

The guest in the camp was naturally Li Shaoyou. As the special envoy of the emperor for "Hedong affairs", Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to neglect.

But seeing that he was safe and stable, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help being surprised: "Everywhere in the camp is heavily guarded, full of eyeliners, why did the county prince show up here?"

Looking at this young general who has recently gained fame in the court, Li Shaoyou smiled lightly and said, "General Zhao, have you forgotten what I do? Let's put it bluntly, there are many soldiers outside the camp. Although we take precautions, we will See nothing, come and go freely!"

"Your Majesty came to the north with the secret of the Duke of the county, to dominate the overall situation, and everything will come true!" Zhao Kuangyin cupped his hands and complimented.

"There's no need to talk about polite words!" Li Shaoyou said, "I'm surprised that Liu Chong let you go out of the city to return to camp."

"Perhaps it's because the King of Taiyuan thinks that the future is nothing to worry about!" Zhao Kuangyin said, "Fan Xianggong was left in the city's guest post!"

"Fan Gong's safety should still be guaranteed. You, general and prime minister, are separated inside and outside the city, which can also make us, Uncle Liu, feel at ease." Li Shaoyou said.

Slightly nodded, Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, and said: "At the banquet, the last general will test the selection of generals. Taiyuan Wang Yan has ordered to gather all the troops from Hedong in Jinyang under the imperial court system to prepare for selection. The last general thinks In other words, the king of Taiyuan gathered troops, I am afraid that he has the intention of coercing the state soldiers to create chaos, so he has to guard against it. Once he succeeds, causing military chaos, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I know about this matter, and this policy is still my advice!" Li Shaoyou smiled lightly, with a smile on his face.

Zhao Kuangyin was slightly stupefied, frowning lightly, thinking for a while, thoughtfully.Raising his eyes, he looked at the envoy Wu De, who was about the same age as himself, and said: "It seems that the Duke of the county is already in control of Zhizhu, and the situation in the east of the river is under control?"

Li Shaoyou looked at Zhao Kuangyin and asked, "How did His Majesty explain to you before coming to the north?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "If the king of Taiyuan is ordered to follow the rules, he can only select elite soldiers and complete the mission of the privy."

"Now things are not in danger, Liu Chongfei stopped violating the rules, and even went against the imperial court!" Li Shaoyou continued.

Without hesitation, Zhao Kuangyin said solemnly: "Then judge the situation according to the situation, adapt to the situation, and assist the county magistrate to eliminate the culprit!"

As he said that, Zhao Kuangyin arched his hands: "Nowadays, the disaster is in front of us, and the final general will definitely assist the Duke with all his strength and live up to His Majesty's mission!"

Looking at Zhao Kuangyin, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Your Majesty knows people.

Li Shaoyou said in a solemn tone: "I am not polite to you, the five hundred forbidden troops you lead are of great use, and at critical moments, it must be the final word!"

"Please order, the Duke of the county!" Zhao Kuangyin said nothing.

"Let me ask you, with five hundred soldiers, is it possible to defeat and control the palace?" Li Shaoyou's words were almost sharp.

Listening to his words, one can guess his plan, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't feel overwhelmed, so he responded casually and fell into deep thought.
