Chapter 737 The arrangement of the future prime minister

After the heart-to-heart talk, the relationship between the husband and wife seemed to be a little more harmonious. Liu Chengyou seemed to be tired again, and lay down in the arms of Dafu again, enjoying the softness of that delicate body, and gradually fell asleep accompanied by the vibration of the Luanjia.

No matter how strong a man is, he needs a woman's warm embrace. Liu Chengyou feels comfortable and peaceful with the body empress. The noble motherhood in his body also makes him intoxicated.

Empress Fu gently straightened Liu Chengyou's simple bun with jade hands, and suddenly found that there was a little white silk mixed in it.

Liu Chengyou, who was sleeping in the countryside, looked at the talisman and slipped into his arms. Seeing it, there was a little distressed look on his beautiful face, and he hugged him gently while maintaining his posture. His full breasts continued to bring a comfortable experience to the man.

When Liu Chengyou woke up, he felt drowsy for a short time, and when he woke up, he felt that the world was new.Outside Luanjia, Zhang Dejun reported cautiously: "The official family is ten miles away from Baima. Zhizhou Li Fang and military envoy Bai Chongzan are waiting on the left side of the road with military officials. Shi Deployment sent people to ask for instructions!"

"What time is it?" You can see through the curtains that the setting sun is already looking low and precarious.

"It's past afternoon!" Zhang Dejun replied.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou ordered: "Let Shi Shouxin make arrangements, camp outside Baima City, rest overnight, communicate with the government, prepare for crossing the river, and start tomorrow morning to continue north. In addition, let Li Fang and Bai Chongzan Come to see me, and the rest of the welcoming officials and officials can disperse!"

"Yes!"

During this northern tour, Shi Shouxin was worshiped as the deployment of the camp, and he was fully responsible for a series of matters such as vigilance, guards, and camps during the northern tour.Previously, due to his contribution in the Qin-Feng battle, after returning to Beijing, Shi Shouxin was worshiped as the commander of the Longqi Army Capital, and he became another rising star in the army who rose rapidly and was close to being a general.

"I slept for a long time, once I closed and opened, more than an hour passed!" I got up, yawned, and said after tilting my head.

"You are still too tired!" Da Fu replied, expressing emotion again.

Perhaps because of being Liu Chengyou's "meat pad" for a long time, Dafu's hands and feet are a little numb, and it is inconvenient to move, and it seems a bit strenuous to lower his head to arrange some messy clothes.

Paying attention to the mess and clumsy movements in her arms, Liu Chengyou immediately understood what was going on, a touch of emotion arose in his heart, and he took the initiative to reach out to help her tidy up.Probably because he was in good spirits, and his temperament also came up, his hands were a little irregular, and he made some sloppy movements, such as weighing the fullness of the pair that had touched his heartstrings before.
"Speaking of which, the last time I went to Baima was two years ago!" Liu Chengyou said.

"I'll accompany you on a tour, it's the first year of Qianyou's west tour!" Dafu knocked off Liu Chengyou's restless hand, and gave him a look, full of sadness.

"It's different from this time in the past. During the previous trips, I was full of things in my heart, bored and heavy. This time, I can relax. In addition to patrolling the border, I also take a look at the great rivers and mountains of the big man. After so many years, the merit palace We didn't take a good tour!" Liu Chengyou said with a light smile.

Seeing his relaxed appearance, Empress Fu sighed slightly in her heart, she also knew how Liu Chengyou could really be free, traveling around mountains and rivers was a bit extravagant for him.

In the evening, in the imperial tent in the north of Baima City, Liu Chengyou summoned Li Fang and Bai Chongzan who had been waiting for a long time.Both of them were very excited about seeing the emperor again, needless to say Li Fang, he was a person who went out beside the emperor, and his close ministers served as the state capital, and the emperor's imprint was deeply engraved on him.

As for Bai Chongzan, he respected Liu Chengyou very much, nothing but the kindness of knowing him.Judging from the achievements of Bai Chongzan in these years, it is not enough to be conferred a high title, but Liu Chengyou directly fulfilled his promise because of his merits in water control and fortification, without any discount, and he was promoted to Ningwuhou.Aiming at this point, Bai Chongzan, who was born as a martial artist, completely dedicated his loyalty to Liu Chengyou. Of course, it was also due to the gradual stabilization of the country and the reconstruction of loyalty.

"Let's all get flat! Sit down!" Liu Chengyou was wearing a neat dragon robe, sitting behind the court case, looking at Li and Bai, with a very friendly attitude: "I'm going slowly this way, I've kept you waiting for a long time! Hard work Already!"

"Your Majesty is serious! To welcome and wait for the king is the duty of a minister, so why not talk about hard work?" Li Fang replied.

Looking at Li Fang and Bai Chongzan, Liu Chengyou smiled lightly and said, "Time flies, but in this flash, our monarchs and ministers have not seen each other for two years, and I miss them so much!"

"Your Majesty is thinking of you, and I am truly honored!" Bai Chongzan replied.

"Bai Qing, you are getting more and more healthy!" Liu Chengyou said to him.

"Your Majesty has also added a bit of heroism and majesty, which is admirable!" Bai Chongzan complimented with a smile.

Liu Chengyou also followed suit, this kind of telling the truth, sincere and natural, really makes people feel happy.

Smiling slightly, Liu Chengyou said to Li Fang: "Huazhou is an important thoroughfare of transportation, guarding the gate of Tokyo. It has a heavy geography and a large population. In the past two years you have ruled this state, people's livelihood has been stable, the agriculture and mulberry are abundant, and your political achievements have been evaluated. Shangjia, I am also paying attention!"

After being praised by Liu Chengyou, Li Fang showed the elegant smile of a modest gentleman, cupped his hands and said humbly: "I just follow your Majesty's teachings to govern the people!"

It can be seen that during his two years as a magistrate, Li Fang's whole temperament has changed, becoming much smoother and more sophisticated.Just like Liu Chengyou's expectations for him, only after he has experienced in the local area and speaks for his political achievements can his ability be truly reflected.

Now he can rest assured that he is capable of practical administration and not just a talker.For a long time, Liu Chengyou firmly believed that if the article is well done, the official may not be able to do well, but Li Fang did not disappoint him.

Li Fang is not yet 32 ​​years old, and Liu Chengyou has almost considered his future official career arrangements. If there is no accident, after Huazhou's term expires, he will be promoted to Taoist official, and he will move two posts in and out of Beijing. By the third term, ten years later, he was only in his early 40 years old.At that time, you can also worship the prime minister and become the backbone of the court.

If Li Fang knew that the emperor had taken such pains for him, he might be very moved.Of course, this kind of "arrangement" is not easy to explain directly to him. After all, everything is uncertain, and accidents may happen.

At the same time, for "potential stocks" like Li Fang, Liu Chengyou still has a few favorite candidates in his mind, such as Wang Pu, Lu Yin, Wang Zhu, Zhao Wei, and Zhao Pu, but how many people will be able to reach that position in the future? , is also undecided.

Not hiding the admiration in Li Fang's eyes, Liu Chengyou encouraged: "If you have no ability, no heart, and love for the people, no matter how much I tell you, what's the use? Don't be humble, I I am very satisfied with what you have done in Huazhou, and you need to make persistent efforts, I will be of great use to you!"

This hint is already considered naked.Li Fang immediately got up and said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, I can only repay you with my sincerity and loyalty!"

Beside, Bai Chongzan watched the scene where the monarch and his subjects sang together, and couldn't help being envious.However, there are some opportunities that cannot be forced upon. After decades of hard work on the battlefield and in the officialdom, this veteran has also realized something.

Probably because he noticed the envious look in Bai Chongzan's eyes, Liu Chengyou would not neglect him, and said to him: "Bai Qing has spent many years in towns and fences, stationed in important places from south to north, and has always been loyal to his duties. It's very rare to work hard without complaining. This time, you will unload the Yicheng army envoy and follow me to patrol the north!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Bai Chongzan was overjoyed immediately, the opportunity to accompany him is not very common.As for the position of Yicheng's envoy, he didn't care too much, and believed that the emperor would make other arrangements.

However, I still couldn't help it, and asked Liu Chengyou tentatively: "I don't know where your Majesty will be in the future, where I can use my ministers?"

This gentleman is honest, Liu Chengyou is happy, and said: "When you get to the north, you will know for yourself!"

The three monarchs and ministers exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the servants came to inform that the dinner was ready, and the empress, noble, concubine Ning and the princes were all waiting.Liu Chengyou invited Li and Bai to have a banquet together, but Li Fang politely declined, saying that he still needed to mobilize ships and manpower to prepare for the northward journey tomorrow, and Liu Chengyou also agreed.

As for Bai Chongzan, he participated in the royal dinner with a full face of honor. Although it was not a delicacy and he was a little restrained, he couldn't hide his joy.
