Han Shizu

Chapter 599
Yedu, Daming Mansion, Yuan City.

Today, it is the most important city in Hebei for the Han Dynasty. It integrates politics, military affairs, and economy. It is the hub of the Han Dynasty in Hebei, and it is highly valued by the emperor and the court.

Liu Chengyou's visit this time is a matter of pleasure, to inspect important tasks and understand the people's sentiments. Of course, the more important purpose is to take a walk around, and by the way, get in touch with the generals in Hebei to get in touch with each other.

On the Yuancheng side, the highest status belonged to Guo Congyi who stayed behind, Li Gu, the transfer envoy of Hebei, and Li Huan, the magistrate of the daimyo.

Li Huan is the younger brother of Li Tao, the prime minister. He is intelligent and good at writing. He has only been in office for more than a year.He was originally a well-known literary talent and scholar in the court. Looking at his resume and his experience in governing the people in the future, Liu Chengyou initially had reservations about the heavy duty assigned to the daimyo governor. It is also a normal transfer, and it is in line with his policy of "civil servants know the state", and he also agreed to see the aftermath.

Judging from Li Huan's performance after taking office, although he has no outstanding political achievements, he has no bad governance, and his official reputation is also good. Under his governance, Daming Mansion has developed in a normal situation.

Therefore, after arriving in Yuancheng, Liu Chengyou still encouraged Li Huan.The attitude of the emperor finally made Li Huan let go of the block in his heart. Maybe Liu Chengyou's "dislike" towards him was too obvious at the beginning, which made it difficult for him to feel at ease after he took office.
The garrison in Yedu, apart from the original Tianxiong Army, is still dominated by the Forbidden Army, and the guard Xingjie Army has a whole army here.

As usual, the Son of Heaven personally went down to the barracks, reviewed the military appearance, observed the drill, delivered a speech, and publicized His Majesty's grace.By the way, the escorting Longxi Forbidden Army and the daimyo garrison had a "friendly exchange".

Under the spring sun, the wind was pleasant and the flags were flying. On the school field, a temporary stadium was set up. The black and white teams competed in hitting.

The black team is the Tokyo Imperial Army, led by Gao Huaide, while the white team is Guo Congyi who stayed behind in Yedu.

On the general stage, Liu Chengyou was sitting behind the case, staring at the game with great interest. On the side, Concubine Zhou Shu, who was accompanying her this time, was holding a pipa in her forehand to accompany her. In a tense atmosphere.

Since Da Zhou entered the palace, he can be considered to have experienced what it means to say "the gate of the palace is as deep as the sea".After such a short period of affection with the emperor, she was almost forgotten. It was very rare, and I just had a lucky one.The young lady, often alone in Shulan, puts on makeup and makeup, but no one appreciates it. She sleeps on a lonely pillow at night and feels lonely.Every day, only accompanied by strings, poems and books, writing lyrics, composing music, practicing dancing, chatting to comfort, and resolving worries.

The only one who feels lucky is probably the Gong Dou in the Han Palace, which did not affect her.The empress, imperial concubine and the others did not take this "new favorite" that the emperor had lost interest in to heart.

This time, when the emperor went on a tour, he did not take the other four concubines with him, but ordered her alone.In the past few days of serving the king, after some nourishment, Concubine Zhou Shu's sad face has eased, but the melancholy temperament of "I feel sorry for me" cultivated in that beautiful face has become more obvious and more moving.

The civil and martial arts present were either intoxicated by the melody, or focused on the struggle on the school field.Liu Chengyou pointed to Guo Congyi, and said to Li Gu who was seated next to him, "I've heard that Guo Congyi is especially good at hitting the ball. I saw it today, and it's true!"

If you look around, you can see Guo Congyi in the arena, straddling the horse in strong clothes, galloping vertically and horizontally, chasing the ball, circling and clapping, his movements are sensitive, skilled, and he is extremely skillful in hitting the ball.

Hearing this, Li Gu replied with a light smile: "General Guo has quite a strategy, a precious man with elegant skills, such a demeanor is also rare!"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou smiled faintly, looked at Li Gu, turned his attention to him, and asked with concern: "Li Qing, how is your shoulder injury?"

But in the previous episode, when Li Gu was inspecting the transfer of grain and equipment in the north, he fell from his horse and injured his shoulder very seriously.Liu Chengyou heard about it in Tokyo, and specially sent an imperial edict to let him recuperate.However, in the winter of last year, Hebei was full of troubles, and Li Gu was not fully recovered, so Li Gu was sick and took care of his affairs, Liu Chengyou and Jiazhi.

At this moment, Li Gu twisted his shoulders subconsciously when Wen Tianzi intervened, and thanked him: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty is much better now!"

"It's much better?" Liu Chengyou looked very careful, and said, "It's not healed yet! In this way, I will ask the imperial doctor to treat you. Although the state affairs are important, if you make you exhausted and the root cause of the disease, but you will not be able to recover." Not what I want!"

Hearing what the Son of Heaven said, Li Gu couldn't help showing a touch of emotion, and said: "Your Majesty's kindness, I am grateful to you, and I will never forget it!"

Li Gu met Liu Chengyou after the battle of Luancheng when Liu Chengyou led the army out of Taihang. At that time, he discovered that this gentleman was quite capable, so he was asked to assist him in military affairs and to help him appease the army and the people.

Later, Liu Chengyou was ordered to go south to Tokyo, leaving Li Gu specially to assist Zhang Yanwei, the Jiedu envoy at that time, in managing government affairs.From the affairs of Quanheng Prefecture, to the Observation Envoy to the current Hebei Transit Envoy, he has repeatedly moved to important positions and entrusted him with important tasks.Li Gu has made great contributions to the recovery and development of Heng, Shenzhen, Hebei, Zhao and other places.

These years, although he has been placed in Hebei, Liu Chengyou's trust and attention to Li Gu is no less than that of the prime minister.After all, one can know a person's talents and virtues by observing his actions, and Li Gu has won the trust and respect of the emperor through his years of diligence in the king's affairs.

"Now, Li Qing is the great steward of the whole of Hebei. I can entrust all the money, food, taxes and taxes to my hands! The army in the north has no shortage of supplies of food and equipment, all of which depend on your ability. I need to rely heavily on Li Qing. There are still many places, that's why, this body should be taken care of!" Liu Chengyou said again, with a smile on his face and an exceptionally gentle attitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Looking at Li Gu, Liu Chengyou was very interested in talking, and mentioned an anecdote about Li Gu, saying: "I heard that when Li Qing was young, he was friendly with Han Xizai, the official of the Tang Dynasty. There was a good story between the two of you. Very interested!"

Hearing this, Li Gu stroked his beard, and there was a flash of memory in his eyes, he smiled lightly and said: "At the beginning Tang Mingzong was in trouble and entered the Central Plains, Qingzhou refused to listen to the order and caused chaos, Han's father was implicated, Han Xizai had to flee the Central Plains. A native of Ruyin, he crossed the Huai River at the Zhengyang Ferry and defected to the State of Wu, and his ministers went to see him off.

Han Xizai said to his ministers, if Jiang Dong meets me, I will drive to fix the Central Plains.The minister replied, if the Central Plains wants me, I will go to the south of the Yangtze River to search for the things in the bag.The past is vivid in my mind, and now, more than 20 years have passed, the spirit of the year is no longer there, thinking about it, I can't help sighing, I can't help but feel emotional! "

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being a good story handed down from generation to generation!" Liu Chengyou smiled brightly and said, "Han Xizai has been in Jiangnan for more than 20 years, and now he has to rule his country, but he has no master, let alone his time.

When the Tang Dynasty was conquered the year before last, I intended to transfer you to the front of the army, but because of the troubles of Khitan and the transfer of military supplies in Hebei, I couldn't do without you, so I gave up! "

"However, in order to realize Li Qing's wish back then, I can send an army, and Qing will command the land to take the land of Jiangdong for me!" Liu Chengyou looked at Li Gu and promised directly.

Hearing this, Li Guyi was elated, and immediately stood up and bowed down: "Your Majesty trusts me, if this is the case, I will capture Jinling's monarchs and ministers and offer them to Tokyo!"

In Li Gu's confident tone, there was a bit of pride and a bit of emotion.

During the conversation between Liu Chengyou and Li Gu, and between the school grounds, there was another burst of cheers, but it was Guo Congyi who made a difficult goal and sent the central ring.

Liu Chengyou ordered Guo Congyi to come to the stage and give him food and wine.Guo Congyi looked very happy, his face was full of joy, almost wrinkled in his smile, and he talked happily.

Given the seat, Liu Chengyou looked at him with calm eyes and a calm tone, and said: "Guo Qing is well-known for his superb golf skills. The duty of guarding is not to be indulged in it."

Hearing what the emperor said, Guo Congyi's smile faded away, with a look of embarrassment on his face, he stood up respectfully and said he was taught.Li Gu was at the side, looked at the emperor, at Guo Congyi, and nodded slightly.

Guo Congyi is not an ordinary martial artist, he is a cultured military commander, with many talents, he is good at calligraphy, and he is especially good at flying white calligraphy.On weekdays, I have a lot of elegance, and I put too much energy into "art", but I am not interested in being a political army.

When he was in Huazhou Jiedu, there were many inadequacies in the judgments, but there were not many changes in Yedu. As a result, there was a lot of slack in the affairs of the classics, so Liu Chengyou beat him.

Of course, Guo Congyi's performance in this way is not without the possibility of self-deprecation. After all, the current development situation of the Han Dynasty, the living space of local festivals and powerful generals is getting smaller and smaller.

Smart people know how to plan ahead
