Han Shizu

Chapter 552

As the sun set on the western mountain, Liu Chengxun and others came out from the field, sweating profusely and covered in filth. In less than two hours, he personally harvested half an acre of wheat with a knife.Although the efficiency is not high, there is a satisfied smile in the handsome appearance.

The officials in the county came after hearing the news, and saw that it was His Royal Highness King Yong who was inspecting the fields. While paying homage nervously, the county magistrate hurriedly called Ya Zhongcheng, Bo and other officials to go to the fields together, and cooperated with them with practical actions.

"Who would have thought that harvesting some wheat is more tiring than holding a sword and bow! Your Highness, why are you bothering?" Walking on the ridge of the field, Murong Chengtai was full of displeasure, he beat his waist and legs, and patted the tassels on his body. Dust, he said to Liu Chengxun: "I would rather go to the battlefield and fight the Shu army to my death, than pick up this cutting knife again!"

Liu Chengxun took the guard and handed over the water bag, took a sip, took a breath, and said, "If you don't get married to the farmers, how can you know the hardships of the people. How many of those who sympathize with the farmers have been in the fields?"

Looking at Murong Chengtai, Liu Chengxun said solemnly to him again: "You are full of impetuousness, which is really not advisable. Brother dispatched you to Guanzhong, it may be that there is no intention to sharpen you, you still need to calm down!"

"Your Highness, you speak more and more like that old pedant Li Song!" Murong Chengtai said.

"Presumptuous!" Liu Chengxun was furious immediately, and pointed at him: "How dare you speak so arrogantly and be rude to the Grand Tutor!"

Seeing that Liu Chengxun seemed to be really angry, Murong Chengtai smiled shyly and waved his hands: "Don't dare, don't say it!"

Looking around, I found that several officials including the county magistrate were still in the field, but their eyes were looking at him from time to time. Liu Chengxun ordered someone to call the county magistrate to him.

The county magistrate is middle-aged, with a thin body, and his sleeves are rolled up on his forearms.With a smile on his face, he stepped forward, bowed head-on, and complimented: "His Royal Highness does not hesitate to serve the fields and mu, and is considerate of the humble. He is worthy of the style of a virtuous king, and the officials and others admire him!"

"The county honor is exempt from courtesy!" Liu Chengxun smiled gently, pointing to the field and said: "The summer harvest is coming, the government should check the fields and relieve the people's worries. I don't need you to cut the knife, but the state is the country, the bottom is For the hometown of scholars and people, I hope you can do your best!"

"Your Highness is wise, and he must obey the teachings. Fuyang is worthy of his heart!" said the county magistrate.

"It's getting late, I'm going back to Chang'an alone!" Liu Chengxun said, stepped on his horse, and said condescendingly: "No!"

The county magistrate and subordinate officials looked at the back of Liu Chengxun who was swept away by the guards, and couldn't help sighing: "Although His Royal Highness King Yong is young, he has already shown his virtuous demeanor!"

Chang'an, Jingzhao Mansion.

"His Royal Highness is back!" The guards returned to their duties, Liu Chengxun went straight to the second hall of the yamen, and Li Song, who was dealing with official duties, immediately greeted him: "Quick, serve your Highness tea!"

Noticing the dust all over Liu Chengxun's body, the brocade clothes could hardly hide his distress, Li Song was very surprised: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Liu Chengxun smiled slightly, sat down immediately, and replied: "I saw farmers cutting wheat with knives, and I was curious. After going to the field to experience it, I know that although I only bend down to cut poles, it is not at all easier than holding plows to sow seeds!"

Hearing this, Li Song heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that something unexpected happened to Liu Chengxun.However, he soon showed a look of admiration to Liu Chengxun, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has a heart of compassion for farmers, and if you pass it on, it will be praised by others!"

This, after all, was not taught by Li Song.

Liu Chengxun waved his hand: "I don't intend to do the thing of gaining fame. It's just that when I was in Tokyo, I often heard the emperor's brother say that agriculture is the foundation, so I put my heart into it! It's not easy for the people to farm and harvest!"

"His Royal Highness has a pure heart!" Li Song sighed while stroking his beard.

"By the way, Taifu, I have something, I want to hear your thoughts!" Liu Chengxun looked at Li Song.

"Please tell me, Your Highness." Li Song was slightly curious.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Chengxun told about Murong Chengtai's mention of going to Fengxiang.

Li Song's expression returned to seriousness: "Did your Highness think so?"

Facing Li Song's gaze, Liu Chengxun replied softly: "I don't want to hide from the Grand Tutor, yes. I have heard that my father and brother will take over the country immediately, but until now, I have reached my full age, but I have never been in the military. And today the world is not peaceful , I want to go to the front of the army to have a look, experience some experience, and increase my knowledge!"

"No!" Li Song gave him an affirmative answer, and looked at Liu Chengxun seriously: "Let's not mention the danger of war, Your Highness should know that it is Jingzhao Mansion's job to govern the government and comfort the people with your intention of sitting in Chang'an But it is a taboo thing to leave your post without obeying the emperor's edict and go to the army to work in the army. Even if your majesty loves your highness, you should not do it, and I hope your highness will forgive you."

Hearing Li Songzhi's opinion, Liu Chengxun was a little depressed, nodded, and sighed: "I also have this concern, so I didn't listen to Brother Murong's encouragement!"

Li Song looked at Liu Chengxun, thought for a while, and said to him: "There is an old saying, 'You can't get close'. Your Highness, the old minister has one point, and I have to remind you!"

"Teacher is the teacher, there is no one who cannot speak to me!" Liu Chengxun's attitude was very modest.

Li Song said: "Mr. Murong, you are domineering, unscrupulous, unrestrained, and very dandy. Your Highness should not be with him, because he has been too close to him! This time he was demoted to Guanzhong because he acted arbitrarily in Tokyo."

Hearing what Li Song said, Liu Chengxun frowned, and said: "I know that the Grand Tutor doesn't like brother Murong, he behaves a little bit willfully, but he has no evil intentions, he just has a straight heart, I just want to please you!"

"Because of this, it is easier to get into trouble!" Seeing this, Li Song thought for a while, and suggested to Liu Chengxun: "If you put it in Fengxiang, if you add it to the army to sharpen it, it will be beneficial to him to get rid of its frivolity." It's good, I think, His Majesty sent him here with the same intention. Murong Chengtai himself couldn't hold back and was eager to try, he could just follow his will."

Liu Chengxun spread his hands: "How to explain to Uncle Murong?"

Obviously, for Aizi Xilai, Murong Yanchao had greeted Aizi Xilai in advance.

"It's understandable that the Lord of Murong Mansion is eager to love his son, but it's not a good thing to spoil him. Chang'an is no better than Tokyo. Murong Chengtai is bound here for a long time. With his heart and style, he will inevitably commit crimes sooner or later!" Li Song said.

After thinking about it, and thinking about how Murong Chengtai behaved by his side, he was indeed presumptuous without realizing it, so he bowed to Li Song and said, "Tomorrow, I will discuss it with my brother-in-law, after all, he is in charge of the Yongxing Army." !"

"Your Highness is wise!" Li Song showed a childish expression.

"Your Highness!" At this time, a servant appeared in front of the hall and called carefully.

"What's the matter?" Liu Chengxun asked.

"The lady heard that His Highness has returned, and has already prepared a meal, let the young one come to invite me!" said the servant.

Liu Chengxun waved his hands, with a sweet smile on his face.Although it was a political marriage, after contact, Liu Chengxun was very satisfied with the little lady the emperor had chosen for him.Princess Wuyue is cute and clever, and she is very fond of him. The young couple also respect each other as guests, and their relationship gradually deepens.

Looking at Li Song: "Has the Grand Tutor already eaten, come with me?"

"No!" Pointing to a stack of official documents on the desk, Li Song also smiled and said: "There are still some official documents that need to be processed!"

"Then I'll go first!"

As he spoke, Liu Chengxun walked out of the hall briskly, and Li Song sat behind the desk, breathing a sigh of relief.For King Yong's disciple, he is very satisfied, he has a gentle temperament, listens to advice, and is quite virtuous.

Think of him, Li Song, who was brilliant in his early years. He was a prime minister, but he was also sad. He was captured by the Khitan people and established by the Han Dynasty.

Fortunately, God still took pity on him and gave him a chance to retain his wealth and reputation, and at the same time cultivate a virtuous king who would shine brightly among the Han prefectures and counties.
Of course, the only thing to worry about is, if King Yong behaves too wisely, will it arouse the fear of the Emperor of Tokyo?

Probably not!For such things, Li Song didn't dare to think too much about them, it would only increase his troubles.

The next day, Song Yanwo, son-in-law and military governor of Yongxing, sent Murong Chengtai to escort a batch of military rations to Fengxiang, and wrote a letter, asking Fengxiang to appoint Zhao Hui, and arrange a position for the army to listen to.
