Han Shizu

Chapter 562
At dawn, the sky was bright, and the women in the Han Palace got up one after another, washed and dressed, and went to their posts to serve the nobles in the palace city.Compared with the early years of Qianyou, in the past two years, the Han Palace has gained a lot of popularity, and eunuchs have been added to the palace one after another.In the meantime, most of the abandoned palaces were filled and kept on duty.

Up to now, except for the guards of the imperial army, the total number of all palace people has exceeded 600 people, which is more than twice that of the early years of Qianyou.Among them, the beauties, musicians, and painters who contributed to the Han Dynasty in Guangnan Tang, Wuyue, and Jingnan amounted to more than a hundred people.

This is actually contrary to Liu Chengyou's "thrifty" initiative. However, according to the imperial court etiquette, the supervisory offices in the court also need personnel to fill them in and maintain their operations.At the beginning of the country, all affairs were not perfect, and Liu Chengyou's simplicity made sense.

Of course, it is undeniable that the emperor added a little bit of enjoyment, but it was irrelevant and did not indulge in it.Maybe in a few years, after the great achievements, the emperor might change again.

Not long ago, as there were more and more people in the palace, Liu Chengyou ordered that the court ladies of the right age be released from the palace, and unmarried meritorious officers were selected from the Forbidden Army to be married.This move reaped another wave of morale for Liu Chengyou.

After all, he drank some wine last night, and it was late to toss with the queen's big talisman, so His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty rarely stayed in bed.However, as the sky became brighter, Liu Chengyou finally got up from the incense bed with great perseverance.

While washing, Empress Fu also got up and served herself. Wearing a tulle, she showed the charm of a young woman, her face was flushed, and she looked pretty and well-moisturized.

Handing the wet wipes to Liu Chengyou personally, seeing his bad complexion, he couldn't help saying angrily: "In the future, Erlang shouldn't drink so much wine again, and it will hurt his body too much. Erlang belongs to his family and country, so he should use his body as his body." Heavy!"

Liu Chengyou wiped his face, and threw the towel into the sink, splashing water droplets.Hearing his persuasion, he turned his head to look at the queen, there was a bit of enchantment in her grace, paying attention to the crimson color on her jade cheeks, Liu Chengyou murmured to himself, since I asked me to take care of my body, why did I ask for it so much last night?
But in his mouth, he said submissively: "I was happy last night, and I will definitely not be like this in the future."

"I'm going back to the Chongzheng Palace first. The Queen Mother is there to say hello for me and take Liu Yang with me." After tidying up the dragon robe, Liu Chengyou said, ready to leave.

"Let's have breakfast first!" Fu Hou said.

"No need, I've been lazy for more than half an hour, I'm afraid there will be a backlog of memorials for the imperial case." Liu Chengyou took a deep breath and muttered.

In the Chongzheng Hall and side halls, several more talented officials were added, named "Chongzheng Lang".These people are all talented and talented people selected from the courtiers' meritorious descendants to serve in front of the imperial court.As Liu Chengyou continued to take over power and the government affairs became more and more complicated, he really couldn't take care of them alone. These young people, on weekdays, assisted in state affairs.

Li Fang took the title of Bachelor of Chongzheng Palace as the head.When Liu Chengyou returned to the government hall, the ministers of Chongzheng were all on duty, and they called Li Fang directly: "What is the urgent matter? I will approve it first!"

Li Fang held a whole stack of memorials, picked out a few letters individually, and briefly stated to Liu Chengyou: "The Southwest Transit Envoy Yan Jinqing reported the tax situation of the towns in Guanzhong, please Your Majesty, and then appoint officials to serve as towns, so as to completely integrate Guanzhong Finance;

The Southwest Metropolitan Commander gave the training report, and the Privy Council has already approved the Fengxiang army's rectification plan, please approve it;

Wang Yanchao, the Commander of the Hedong Capital, submitted a report on the progress of the establishment of the Capital Division and the reorganization of the troops and horses under the Division;
Wang Pu, the chief envoy of Huaidong, asked to dismiss the ten county magistrates under his rule, and to recommend other officials for their crimes of neglecting political affairs, enriching private pockets, and colluding with local lawlessness;
In addition, Yao Yuanfu, the envoy of Baoda Jiedu, made a request to resign from the post of Jiedu envoy. "

Although the first few articles attracted Liu Chengyou's attention, it was the last one that caught his attention the most.It was only one night before someone resigned.

According to Liu Chengyou's thoughts, at last night's banquet, his words were blatant, but after all, it was about the removal of power, especially for a town like Shi Kuangyi who has been in power for more than ten years, it is not easy to make a decision to let go .No matter what, you need to hesitate for three or two days, and only after considering the situation can you make up your mind and make a wise choice.

Unexpectedly, this morning, before he could completely shake off his drowsiness, the first letter of resignation had already been submitted, and it was still Yao Yuanfu.

While enjoying the breakfast prepared by Shangshan Supervisor, he was reading Yao Yuanfu's glossary, with hundreds of characters, which should be written by Yao Yuanfu himself, not very good-looking, and there are typos.However, the words are simple and straightforward.

He talked about his merits, briefly expressed his resignation, and described the hardships of government affairs, but he still told the emperor that he had fought all his life. Although he was old, if the emperor needed it, he was still willing to lead the army in battle.There is also an apology, saying that the imperial banquet last night was forgotten, the emperor lost his manners, and messed up the etiquette. Please forgive me.In addition, he has five sons. Although they are ineffective, they are a bit rough and brave. They can serve as pawns and serve the country.

After reading Yao Yuanfu's resignation list, Liu Chengyou smiled, took a sip, finished the last bite of noodles, and licked the bowl again.It is true that people are old and become demons, this Yao Yuanfu, although straightforward, is also frank, and he speaks to him without ambiguity.

However, Liu Chengyou was quite satisfied, and he was not unhappy because he was honest.After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou opened his mouth and ordered: "Chuan Zhao, the post of envoy of Yuanfu Bao Da Jiedu, the antidote, the title of Duke of Fen, the grant of food to [-] households in the city, the solid seal of [-] households, and the addition of servants. Well, in Fen The Duke of the State is the commander of the capital of Gyeonggi, his wife gave him an imperial order, and his sons are appointed by the Ministry of War according to their ability."

After disposing of Yao Yuanfu's request, Liu Chengyou freed up his hands to review other memorials. Yan Jinqing, Xiang Xun, and Wang Yanchao's performances had nothing to do with it, so he quickly made instructions and sent them to the Yasi.

On the Huaidong side, in the past few months after returning to the teacher, Wang Pu took over the government affairs, and there was a lot of movement. With his strong temperament and fierce methods, he can be said to have shown his skills in Yangzhou.Many officials were dismissed and many people were killed. This time, there are ten county magistrates, and not all of them are old officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty.However, with a little hesitation, Zhu Pi agreed, and Liu Chengyou still trusted Wang Pu's talent and character.

As if it was an agreement, after the order of rewarding Yao Yuanfu's kindness was issued, Shi Kuangyi's and Zhao Hui's resignations came one after another.For Shi Kuangyi, Liu Chengyou named him the Duke of Jing because he had guarded Jingyuan for many years, and rewarded him with blessings like medicine and Yuanfu, but because of his illness, he was sent to Luoyang to recuperate.

As for Zhao Hui, the Duke of Shan State, he stayed in Tokyo for a while, not only to recuperate, but also to serve as a consultant.After following the three, An Shenqi, Zhang Yanwei, Liu Chongjin, and Wang Jing submitted their resignations one after another.

Needless to say, An Shenqi, after Guo Wei went south to take over Xiangzhou, he led his family to Beijing. Liu Chengyou named him the king of Chenliu County as the elder of his country; Jing is the Duke of Bohai County.
As a result, there were a few more towns in the Han Dynasty, which needed to be reformed and rectified.

In fact, for these festivals in Beijing, Liu Chengyou's dismissal and strike was true, and he also adopted the redemption policy, but he didn't mean to let him enjoy the local enclosure, or raise him in Luoyang, or stay in Tokyo.

What's more, what he wants is Fang Zhen's governance, wealth, and military power, but he doesn't give up all of these veterans.People like them, who have rich experience in leading the army and are in their twilight years, can still shine for the Han Dynasty even after they have been relieved of power and changed positions.All over the country, there is still a shortage of military and political talents, and Liu Chengyou will not waste it.Like Yao Yuanfu, he didn't want to be disarmed, but Liu Chengyou still gave him a chance.

It's just a change of place, and it won't be like the former Fanyi Town, where military and political power are all gathered in one body.As for the appointment of these people, Liu Chengyou still needs to consider further, there are plenty of places for them to play.

Liu Chengyou has no objection to these vassals, especially the voluntary obedience. Dismissal and generous rewards are just a means, while restructuring, power collection, and military and political balance are the goals.
