Han Shizu

Chapter 540 The Attitude Of The Son Of Heaven
It has already entered summer, the grains and crops are thriving, everything is luxuriant, thanks to the beauty of God, and the rivers and rivers, since the beginning of the new year, there have been no disasters in the Han Dynasty.That is, on the first day of April, a solar eclipse occurred, which caused a wave of waves, as if it was in contrast with the changing situation in the east of the river.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the clothes of the concubines and maids in the Han palace are getting thinner and thinner, revealing their beautiful figures, continuing to seduce the emperor of the Han family.

In the Chongzheng Hall, Liu Chengyou sat and governed as usual.It was probably because the dirt on his body hadn't been cleaned, and when the weather got warmer, the itching became unbearable. Liu Chengyou took the long and slender handle of Ruyi, stuck it into his collar, and scratched slowly.

"Make arrangements, I'm going to take a bath tonight and let Concubine Fu Hui sleep with me!" Liu Chengyou instructed Zhang Dejun.

"Yes!"

Spread out in front of Liu Chengyou was Liu Chong's letter of invitation, which had not yet been submitted to Tokyo. Together with the reports from all parties in Hedong, they were presented on Liu Chengyou's desk.In the first step, he was still thinking about sealing the borders, but in the next step, he was already a prisoner under his rank, and it was quite ironic to think about it.

Regarding Liu Chong, in terms of family affection, Liu Chengyou can say without hesitation, no.Moreover, after learning about Liu Chong's misdemeanors in Hedong, he became more disgusted and murderous, which was heavier than Liu Xin's back then.

However, just as Li Shaoyou guessed, although the situation in Hedong was turbulent, it was still under control and did not lead to chaos.To declare Liu Chong's crimes to the world, to declare his crimes, and order him to obey the law, Liu Chengyou had this idea, but it was nothing more than that.

He has to consider the criticism of public opinion, the stability of people's hearts, and more importantly, the overall situation of reducing the feudal clan.As far as the Han world is concerned today, Hedong is still the most powerful feudal clan. If this side is dealt with smoothly, it will also be able to spread out in the future and appease the hearts of some remaining old officials and old feudal clans.

At the beginning of Bingguo, Liu Chengyou was busy consolidating the throne and gathering military power. Although there were good governance measures to appease the people, he didn't pay too much attention to the people's hearts and opinions.

However, as the world gradually turned chaos into order, during this process, unconsciously, Liu Chengyou also really considered and cared.If you want to govern the world and the world, you must deal with people's hearts, which Liu Chengyou realized early on.

Although, up to now, Liu Chengyou has still not considered how to deal with Liu Chong, but from the edict issued later, it can be seen that he avoids "rebellion" and does not talk about it. Even if he hates deeply, he will never announce it to the world. Many people know what's going on.

"Your Majesty, Wang Jingchong, deputy envoy of Wude, begs to see you!"

"Xuan!" Liu Chengyou came back to his senses, and put Ruyi on the case.

"Your Majesty, come from the north to report that Lord Shouyang has been escorted by Liu Chong's family. He has returned to Tokyo in the south and has passed Zezhou!" , all under control, and the officials will send them to Kaifeng to wait for their release. The palace of Julu County has been completely monitored, and Liu Chengyun is restless in the mansion, and he is in constant panic! It must be because he heard of the Hedong incident and was guilty of being a thief."

"Who told you to take the initiative and detain the princes of the Taiyuan king!" Hearing this, Liu Chengyou got angry and reprimanded him.

Wang Jingchong was taken aback, and subconsciously knelt down: "Chen, I just thought that"

"What do you think?" Liu Chengyou said: "Is it because Li Shaoyou has made great achievements in Hedong, can't sit still?"

"Are you afraid that the thing about Hedong is not big enough to spread it to the world for me, so that the subjects will talk about it?" Liu Chengyou stared at Wang Jingchong coldly.

Liu Chong gave birth to more than a dozen sons, except for a few young ones, most of them grew up to be officials in various places.Seeing that the emperor was angry, Wang Jingchong secretly scolded himself for losing his will, and hurriedly said: "The minister immediately ordered to let them all go!"

"Catch them all, and let them go again. Are you slapping yourself?" Liu Chengyou said, thinking about it, and raised his finger: "Take them all back to Tokyo! Remember, they are escorts, not detentions!"

"Yes!"

"This Wang Jingchong is acting more and more decisively and presumptuously. Before I have made a decision, he dares to detain the princes of Taiyuan as criminals and come to invite me to favor you?" After he stepped back, Liu Chengyou turned his head and looked at Zhang Dejun. .

Zhang Dejun buried his head, a little afraid to answer.

"If you want to make up your mind, you can kill your heart!" One sentence made Zhang Dejun tremble even more.

"It seems that the Secretary of the Imperial City should also be put on the agenda." Said leisurely, and said to Zhang Dejun: "If I ask you to be my eagle and dog's minions, would you be willing?"

Facing the emperor's deep and chilling gaze, Zhang Dejun hurriedly responded: "The little one is a servant of the official family!"

"Heh." Liu Chengyou smiled lightly, and didn't say anything more.

Not long after, a servant came to report again, saying that Liu Chengyun, the king of Julu County, asked to see him.

Liu Chengyun was the eldest son of Liu Chong, and Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan adopted him as his adopted son. After the founding of the country, he was treated generously. At the beginning, the position of authority in the clan was second only to Liu Chong and Liu Xin.

In the second year of Qianyou, Liu Chengyou went to the north for a winter tour. Affected by the "Yang Bin case", he was dismissed by Liu Chengyou and returned to peace. Since then, he has been staying in Kaifeng, undertaking Zongzheng errands, worshiping the ancestral temple and managing royal affairs.

Liu Chengyun is not an ambitious person, he is generous and modest, less assertive, not smart, but knowledgeable.

"Brother Yun, sit down!" In the hall, Liu Chengyou looked at him kindly.His expression was exhausted, his face was haggard, and his brows were filled with melancholy.

Hearing the sound, Liu Chengyun fell to his knees directly, and said in a tearful voice, "My lord, please forgive me!"

"What's the reason?" Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately said: "Zhang Dejun, quickly help the county king up!"

But Liu Chengyun could not afford to be stubborn, kowtowed his head to the ground, and said emotionally: "Your Majesty, my father was confused for a while, and his mind was bewitched by ghosts. He committed misdeeds and committed serious crimes. I dare you, please majesty think that he is old and weak, because of his uncle and nephew. For the sake of love, spare his life and let him enjoy his old age in peace! I beg you, take the punishment on behalf of your father!"

"Bang bang" a few times, Liu Chengyou noticed the blood mark on his forehead, Liu Chengyou's expression froze, and said: "Brother Yun, you have to remember, you are the son of the former emperor Kao!"

"But the king of Taiyuan is the father of all ministers!" Liu Chengyun was already tearing up.

To be honest, Liu Chengyou was not very happy about Liu Chengyun's request, or begging.Standing up, walking in front of him, he asked plainly: "Where did you hear the rumors, what's wrong with the emperor?"

Liu Chengyun was stunned when he heard the question, raised his head, wiped his tears, stared at the calm emperor, and said in a softer voice, "There are many rumors between the government and the public."

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou raised his hand and ordered someone to call Li Fang, a bachelor, and ordered: "Go to the Guangzheng Palace immediately, let Feng Dao and the others warn all the officials to perform their duties in a safe manner, and strictly prohibit rumors and discussions. Those who are punished will be severely punished!"

"Yes!"

After finishing the order, Liu Chengyou let out a sigh of relief, helped Liu Chengyun up himself, and sighed: "Brother Yun, I know you are loyal, filial and kind, but you are soft-tempered and have no opinions, so don't follow others' advice! Anyway, Uncle Huang is my direct relative. Uncle, you too, among family members, why do you make such a gesture and spread it, it will only provoke criticism!"

Hearing the emperor's kind words, Liu Chengyun's mood stabilized a little, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is begging you to take responsibility for your disgrace!"

"That's all!" Waving his hand, Liu Chengyou pointed to his forehead: "Clean up the wound, go back home to recuperate, everything will be discussed after the emperor arrives in Tokyo!"

After Liu Chengyun retreated, Liu Chengyou paced up, shook his head slightly, and sneered.

"Officials, the Empress Dowager sent someone to ask if you are busy with government affairs, and if you have time to go to the Hall of Compassion!" Zhang Dejun reported after thinking about it.

"Let's go!" The Empress Dowager summoned, how could Liu Chengyou not respond, and immediately ordered to be driven, and said: "Even the Empress Dowager was alarmed, one can imagine what kind of discussion there is between the government and the opposition!"

After two days, Liu Chengyou learned that Li Shaoyou and his party had entered Zhengzhou, called Feng Dao and other important officials, and said in a conclusive tone: "The king of Taiyuan has guarded Hedong for many years. Take your family to the south, the car and boat have passed Zhengzhou!"

Looking at Feng Dao, Liu Chengyou ordered: "Feng Qing, you can go and greet me on my behalf!"

When the emperor said this, the astute ministers all heard the implication. Feng Dao stood up and respectfully replied: "Yes!"

"In addition, you should discuss again about the military administration, criminal names, money and food, and supervision in Hedong! The land of Longxing, the foundation of the emperor's business, should be restructured without any mistakes."
