Han Shizu

Chapter 659 The few people who reassure the emperor

It was March [-]th, everything was sparse, the world was cold, and cold waves swept across the north. No matter how enthusiastic the people in Tokyo were, they were invaded and extinguished by the biting cold.

Compared with the inner and outer cities, there is still some folk fireworks atmosphere. In the imperial city of Han Palace, it may be the imperial authority, or the rules are strict, or the land is sparsely populated, and it is even more lonely and cold, almost chilling people's hearts.Because of the weather, the Ouchi guards in the palace and the Imperial Guards changed their guards more frequently.

Outside the hall, there was a cold wind, and the guards stood with knives, enduring the biting cold, their faces flushed from the cold.In the hall, it is as warm as spring, with warm tents and fragrant couch, and the charming lady is in her arms, so drunk that Liu Chengyou lingers and forgets to return.

"Officials, it's time for you to get up!" Concubine Hui, Xiaofu, was skin-to-skin with Liu Chengyou, pushing him gently, but above her delicate face, there was an obvious look of reluctance.

And Liu Chengyou's reaction also made her very happy. She closed her eyes and looked like she didn't want to move. He gently stroked her more sensual waist with his hand, which made her feel itchy in her heart, and she couldn't help sticking it even tighter. up.

"What time is it?" Liu Chengyou asked lazily, as if he was still sleepy.

"It's time to enter Mao." Xiaofu replied.

"Maoshi? It's still not bright yet, wait a little longer." Liu Chengyou finally opened his eyes. Although he was inside the room, he could clearly feel the darkness outside the hall.

Hearing what he said, Xiaofu's jade lips tapped on Liu Chengyou's neck, and in a seductive voice, he said softly: "You asked me to remind you, if it is late and neglects political affairs, don't blame me!"

"The war in Hanzhong is over, the surroundings are peaceful, there are no major issues left and right, and general mundane affairs are handled by ministers and ministers. I can't escape laziness," Liu Chengyou replied casually.

If it was Empress Dafu, it would probably be some remonstrance, but Concubine Fu Hui didn't think so much.Recently, the emperor showed signs of pampering his sister. Even the imperial concubine and concubine Xian practiced sword with her for a while. It was rare to get her here, so naturally he wanted him to spend more time.

Liu Chengyou turned his body slightly, and hugged it into his arms, the warm and delicate touch was a little ecstasy.Lady Fu's complexion was blushing, she was bored, and she was still not moisturized enough.

Looking at her delicate and charming appearance, he stretched out his hand to lift her delicate chin, and asked with a smile: "Besides, are you willing for me to leave so early?"

There seemed to be some heat in Liu Chengyou's scrutinizing eyes. Xiaofu felt something called desire, and the rosiness on her pretty face became more and more intense, and she buried herself in his arms with joy and anger.

After all, Liu Chengyou was lazy on the bed. He had a fierce morning battle with Mrs. Fu, and took a mandarin duck bath. When it was mid-sun, he packed up and wandered back to Chongzheng Hall.

In fact, during this period of time, the whole country is spending the winter, the war in Hanzhong is over, and there are famous ministers in the Zhengshitang handling state affairs, if Liu Chengyou really wants to be lazy, there will be no major problems.

However, Liu Chengyou's temperament of love for power is a little hard to change. Even if he believes that the minister can manage the state affairs properly, he still enjoys checking the affairs of the big man, even if he only reads the story.As an emperor, looking at the world from the memorials is already very limited. If you don't even read the memorials or don't read them, you will be separated from the country and power sooner or later.

However, Liu Chengyou did have a lot of free time.

In the hall, Li Chongju stood almost in the same position, with the same posture, waiting in front of the imperial court.

After filing the case, Liu Chengyou looked through the information about Wang Yan's performance after he arrived in Luoyang, because he wanted to inspect it, Li Chongju took some time, and urgently transferred from Luoyang to file.

Liu Chengyou saw it with great interest, and Wang Yan took office in Luoyang for less than two months, but he did a lot of things.

The government office in Luoyang was renovated by him; there were dozens of backlog cases in the government office, and they were cleared up as quickly as possible, and all of them were in accordance with the law, but the usage was a little harsh; Go through it again.

Knowing the past of following him, there are people who are ostentatious, oppressing good people, summoning them, admonishing them, and restraining their behavior.Afterwards, there were still some people who refused to listen, so Wang Yan ordered people to hold him, and broke his legs in front of everyone.
He also secretly collected evidence, cracked down on businessmen who violated the law, and acted as a powerful person who committed crimes.For example, the names of Hou Zhang and Xue Huairang are on the top. Xue Huairang was sent to prison and sentenced to death because of his involvement in killing people.Hou Zhang's case was a little less serious, but he was also severely punished. He had no family property and was sent to the northwest.In addition, Guo Rong's biological father, Chai Shouli, was also arrested by Wang Yan and beaten several times because he ran amok in the market, indulged in slavery and hurt others.

Among them, the matter of Chai Shouli had the greatest impact, because this was the biological father of the prime minister at the time. From the looks of it, Wang Yan seemed to be much more ruthless than Jing Fan back then.

The Chuanguo Yuxi was discovered during the process of dealing with a criminal merchant.

"This Wang Yan's methods may be tougher, but it is understandable. After all, he was born in the army and has a violent temperament." After putting away the report, Liu Chengyou murmured, and looked up at Li Chongju: "How about investigating the matter of Yuxi?"

"true!"

"Oh!" There was no surprise on Liu Chengyou's face, he just nodded.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to investigation, the businessman who collected the jade seal was his father who obtained it as early as Tianfu years, hid it in the mansion, and passed it on to others. According to what he said, he wanted to present it to the imperial court, but he was afraid of committing the crime of hiding it !” Li Chongju continued.

"Only the merit of offering is enough to cover the crime! Besides, you said that this is a jade merchant, and he was investigated and dealt with by Wang Yan for his crimes, which is enough to prove that he was lucky and his words were not true. In my opinion, it can indeed be cured. It's a crime of concealment!" Liu Chengyou commented coldly, then looked at Li Chongju: "What's wrong with Wang Yan?"

"According to the latest news, Wang Shijun obtained it and attached great importance to it, but it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity for a while, and he is afraid that it is a fake seal. After he wants to identify it, he will report to the court. In the past two days, he summoned a group of talented people from Luoyang City. Learn from it!" Li Chongju said.

"Is that so?" Liu Chengyou's expression finally softened, and he muttered: "So, it can be forgiven, if you just send a fake seal, it would be a crime."

In fact, when Liu Chengyou heard about this for the first time, he had some doubts in his heart. One was the authenticity of the jade seal, and the other was Wang Yan's choice.No matter how you think about it, Wang Yan doesn't look like the kind of fool who won the seal but didn't offer it.

"Please punish the crime, Your Majesty!" At this time, Li Chongju fell on one knee.

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou showed a bit of surprise on his face: "I still want to reward you for being able to do things, what's your fault?"

"The matter of Yuxi, I reported it to His Majesty without verifying the facts, which may mislead Your Majesty's judgment!" Li Chongju said seriously.

Listening to his words and watching his description, Liu Chengyou couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.This is the difference between Li Chongju and Wang Jingchong. If Wang Jingchong did the same thing, Liu Chengyou would probably be able to guess what he did.

Regardless of whether the jade seal is true or not, he will first give Wang Yan a qualitative disposition to show his authority. If the jade seal is true, he will also try to take the merit of the contribution as his own.

With this in mind, Liu Chengyou said to Li Chongju very leniently: "Get up! You are just doing things with all your heart, how can I be harsh!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Chongju stood up.

For so many years, Liu Chengyou often felt that his subjects were alienated from him. In fact, it was the emperor who had been in power for a long time. He had developed the habit of being superior and became more suspicious.

Up to now, there are fewer and fewer people who make him feel at ease, Li Chongju is an exception.It's not just because he is a general who was born as a bodyguard in Qiandi.

Over the years, many old people of the emperor have been promoted, whether they are generals or military envoys.The same is true for Li Chongju, but he has been criticized for one thing, that is, he has no real military exploits.

During his command of the Inner Palace Zhijun, he had always played the habit of defending the capital. Even so, in the face of criticism, Li Chongju remained unmoved, did not refute, and did not ask Liu Chengyou for a chance to make meritorious service. , seek his own government, settle down in his post, and do things with all his heart.This is very rare.

Therefore, Liu Chengyou was very relieved after handing over Wu Desi to Li Chongju for the past two years.
