Han Shizu

Chapter 689
Sun Guangxian solemnly thanked him for his resignation. Looking at his back, his body was straight, and in Liu Chengyou's eyes, he always felt that his spine was a little bent.However, Liu Chengyou will not despise him because of this. It is precisely because of such a person who knows current affairs that his process of unifying the world will be smoother.

Being unyielding is certainly a good quality, but it is best for the big man and his emperor, otherwise he will be a diehard and become an obstacle for him to complete the unification of the world.

The attentive Liu Chengyou's eyes probably thought that he was worried, Zhao Pu took the initiative to say: "Sun Guangxian has served Gao Congjiao and his son for many years, and is the most important civil servant in Jingnan. , return to governance smoothly, Your Majesty need not worry!"

"Jingnan, don't worry about it. No matter what, the army is here, and Murong Yanzhao and Guo Wei are here, and the rest will not make any trouble!" Liu Chengyou replied confidently.

After thinking for a while, he moved his buttocks and turned his head to look at Zhao Pu. Liu Chengyou asked, "Do you think the Gao family is worthy of my fear?"

Asked about this, Zhao Pu shook his head affirmatively, and said with a slight smile: "The Gao family has been based in Jingnan for decades, but it has neither a commendable reputation nor a kindness to the people, and the people of Jingnan will definitely not think of it. On the other hand, the Gao family is wealthy, good and bad, and after moving north, they lost their roots and privileges, so they will inevitably complain!"

"As for Nanping King Gao Baorong's lineage, His Majesty can imitate the story of the daughter of a rich man and treat him favorably. This cowardly person is really harmless to the court. After Jinghu, there are Houshu, Nantang, Wuyue in the south. , Puppet Liu, including all the forces of the Qingyuan Army in southern Fujian, with Gao's example in front, when His Majesty uses troops in the future, he can also slightly weaken his desire to resist!"

"That's right!" Liu Chengyou's mouth turned up slightly: "However, the powers of the southern countries have terrible lords. Of course they can be treated preferentially. In comparison, their subordinates, civil and military, are more worth buying!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Pu said, "This Sun Guangxian is the bone of a horse that His Majesty placed in front of the southern officials!"

"Since the Gao family has surrendered, Zhou Xingfeng is the only one left in this Southern Expedition. However, Jingnan has been successfully captured, and Hunan is a tough one!" Liu Chengyou stood up and walked to a map of the military situation of the Southern Expedition hanging in the hall, His tone was a little serious.

Following behind, Zhao Pu said: "The court's teeth are sharp and its bones are hard, but it is no match for the army to eat. Zhou Xingfeng didn't know the number of days, and he rebelled brazenly, but he was just dying! His Majesty and all the princes have predicted that its defeat can be expected!"

"Originally, Commander Murong wanted to take Jingnan first for a period of one month. But now, in less than half a month, he has conquered all his territory and seized his army. The progress is so smooth. This also saves the time for the army to attack Hunan!"

"However, Zhou Xingfeng is putting all his eggs in one basket now, and this insane person should not be underestimated! If Gao Shi treats Zhou with contempt and negligence, he may take advantage of him!" Liu Chengyou couldn't help but doubt.

For a long time, Liu Chengyou has always been this tonality, being too cautious, the lion fights the rabbit, and he also exerts his full strength, not afraid of being too cautious, only afraid of unexpected surprises.

"In this way, you draw up an edict in my tone, send it to the camp in the south, and inform all the soldiers of the army that they should not be arrogant and impetuous in the war in Hunan, and rush forward under the enemy!" Liu Chengyou raised his finger and ordered.

"Give Murong Yanzhao another edict, and tell him that I entrust him with the overall situation in Jinghu, and I don't want to be all-in-one, just take it calmly!"

"Yes!"

Thousands of miles away, in terms of tactics, Liu Chengyou didn't mean to command remotely, but only exerted influence on these equally important "details".At the same time, it also alerted the general in front. Although he, the emperor, was in the rear, he could always keep an eye on the progress of the battle.

"Is there an update on the battle situation in Liyang?" Liu Chengyou asked.

Zhao Pu shook his head and said: "Not yet. However, according to the military report sent by the Privy Council, Commander Murong has sent some troops across the river to occupy the police, and is ready to support Liyang at any time. Since His Majesty and Guo Shuxiang both prefer Pan Junshi, he should not I have lost His Majesty's trust!"

"After all, there are not many soldiers in Liyang!" Liu Chengyou frowned slightly: "I hope Pan Mei can hold on!"

Liyang was insignificant to the imperial court, but it was a huge threat to Langzhou. Liu Chengyou didn't care about a mere Liyang City, what he was worried about was Pan Mei's safety.Losing Liyang is not a big deal, but losing Pan Mei, his favorite general whom he valued so much, would be a big deal.However, Pan Meiruo didn't have some merits that everyone believed in, and Liu Chengyou couldn't make much use of him.Therefore, Liu Chengyou's mentality is still somewhat contradictory.

"That's all! I don't have to worry about such useless things!" Raising his hand and pinching the root of the mountain, Liu Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhao Pu: "The first batch of officials selected by the Ministry of Officials to be transferred to Jingnan, you go to see it for me. Look, examine what it can do!"

Hearing that, for the first time, Zhao Pu showed a strange look on his face. This is allowing the Chongzheng Palace to directly intervene in the affairs of the Zhengshitang. Does it mean anything?
Zhao Pu's mind always turned quickly, and he subconsciously reminded: "The selection and transfer of officials is the responsibility of the Ministry of Officials. If this is the case, it will only cause Li Xianggong's dissatisfaction!"

As the chief minister, Li Tao is in charge of the affairs of the prime minister, but just like Fan Zhizhu in charge of the criminal name, his "root" is in the Ministry of Officials.

Hearing his words, this time it was Liu Chengyou's turn to dispel Zhao Pu's worries, and he smiled lightly and said: "It's okay, Jingnan is here, these officials are related to the governance of the three states in the future, and the well-being of nearly a million people. , you just went to ask on my behalf to show your importance!"

"Yes!" Since the emperor said so, Zhao Pu naturally agreed.

The thinking in the brain continued to diverge. This errand is not difficult, but it represents the emperor, and also represents the political power of the Chongzheng Palace, so what does it mean?
"That Zhang Ji has been with you for a while, what do you think of this person?" Liu Chengyou asked Zhao Pu abruptly.

He seemed to know that the emperor liked Tan Hualang a little bit, no matter what he thought, Zhao Pu said good things in his mouth: "He is quite literary, far more than a minister, smart and quick-witted, good to cultivate, and can be of great use!"

"Is there nothing wrong with it?" Liu Chengyou seemed not interested in Zhang Ji's strengths.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Pu said, "After all, I'm not very old, so it's inevitable that I'm young and vigorous."

"Okay, you go about your business!"

"Yes!"

In front of Liu Chengyou, Zhao Pu was also very cautious, but his caution was to cater to the emperor and at the same time show his talents in order to climb up and realize his political ambitions.In this regard, the longer the contact, the deeper Liu Chengyou's feelings, but Zhao Pu, at the current stage, Liu Chengyou really uses it very smoothly.

In Jiangling City, the head of the city has already changed to the Dawang Banner, and the city walls, government offices, barracks, and warehouses are all planted with brand-new Han banners, and this city has also become the location of Murong Yanzhao's new Chinese army.All the key places in the city were firmly occupied by the small army entering the city, and the officials and reporters belonging to the camp began to check the treasury of Jiangling, all of which could be used directly for military use.

The original Jiangling garrison was moved outside the city without any room for negotiation, and hundreds of officers were directly transferred from the Han army to strengthen control.

However, for the people of Jiangling City, they were greatly relieved.Tens of thousands of troops from the Northern Han Dynasty came to the south, their momentum was overwhelming, and the officials and people were terrified. Fortunately, no war was caused.

In addition, the Han army has strict military discipline, has not suffered any military disasters, and in just a few days, the city has been lifted and the ban has been lifted, allowing the people to enter and exit.With this move, people feel at ease.

The original Nanping Prince's Mansion has not suffered any intrusion, and Gao Baorong's family still lives in it, retaining its guards, but stationing troops and horses on the periphery for protection, waiting for the court's disposal.

And Murong Yanzhao occupied the Jiangling Prefecture Yamen as the camp.Now, Murong Yanzhao once again convened the generals of the camp to discuss the army. The situation in Jingnan is gradually calming down, and the fighting situation in Hunan is getting more urgent.
