Han Shizu

Chapter 739
When Liu Chengyou drove back to Baima Ferry, most of the soldiers in the battalion had already crossed the river, and only the [-] soldiers who accompanied him were still waiting for the king to return.In order to support the North Crossing, Li Fang mobilized [-] ships for transshipment.

Seeing the imperial chariot returning, Shi Shouxin and Li Fang greeted him together: "See Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me!" Waving his hands, Liu Chengyou looked around and asked, "How is the situation of crossing the river?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the Longqi army, war horses, flag poles, armor, grain and other heavy objects have all crossed the river." Shi Shouxin replied ably: "The empress, concubine, accompanying palace attendants, officials, and the empress The army is preparing to cross the boat!"

Looking at the surrounding situation, it can be seen that they are obviously waiting for his return.Li Fang asked: "Your Majesty will return after visiting the embankment. Do you want to rest for a while?"

Looking at the sky, the sun is rising high, spreading its brilliance, shining on the big river, shining golden light, which is a bit wonderful and invigorating.The time is actually still early, but after seeing the situation before Baimadu, Liu Chengyou waved his hand directly: "No need!"

This morning, at the dawn of Fang, Liu Chengyou took the princes to Liuhe Dike, and now he is back, Fang enters Sichu (9 o'clock).And the princes who showed excess energy on the embankment came back asleep.

As for Baimadu, the martial law has not yet been lifted, soldiers and guards from the surrounding states have been erected, and all daily activities have been stopped.Around the port, boats and boats are cruising and waiting to berth, and merchants and people are gathering to wait for the ferry.Although there was some noise, they unconsciously looked around, but when they saw the situation at the port, they were honest and did not dare to take a step beyond the barrier, and only waited for the officers and soldiers to release the martial law.

"I see that the boats and people around have been waiting for a long time!" Liu Chengyou smiled, and told Shi Shouxin: "Stop disturbing the people, just go and arrange it!"

"Yes!"

There is no way that the emperor would not disturb the people when he went on tour. For this, Liu Chengyou did not approach the people like a memorial archway, let alone blame civil and military officials for it.

He personally hugged Liu Xi, who was sleeping soundly, and went directly to Concubine Gao. The lady with big breasts and fat buttocks greeted him eagerly. Even on the way of inspection, Liu Chengyou took turns, trying to get even exposure to rain and dew.

Facing the beautiful lady, Lingling's figure, and her charming posture, the excitement hidden in her body in the early morning was suddenly aroused. If it wasn't for preparing to cross the river, Liu Chengyou might not be able to resist it.

"Go, bring Hu Zai to me!" Before boarding the ship, Liu Chengyou ordered Zhang Dejun.

"See Your Majesty!" Weiji, a middle-aged official with a thin figure and a pale complexion, came here on orders.

Looking at Hu Zai, Liu Chengyou directly ordered: "Bai Chongzan, the envoy of the Yicheng Army, accompanied him on the northern tour. For the successor, you send a letter to Tokyo and let the Privy Council appoint it as appropriate!"

"Yes!"

Hu Zai, courtesy name Zhongxi, was eager to learn since he was a child, with outstanding diction and talent.However, they have not been reused. One is too literary, which is pedantic in Liu Chengyou's eyes, and the other is not good enough, worse than Zhao Wei.

Since entering the dynasty, it has been transferred in the Hanlin Academy, the third hall, and the six departments.However, this person is especially good at inscriptions and praises, and finally last year, by virtue of writing a Shinto inscription for Jing Fan and Zhe Congruan, he once again caught the eyes of Liu Chengyou and was promoted to a Hanlin bachelor.

Over the years, with the gradual stabilization of the country, the prosperity of the literary world, and the stability of the buttocks, Liu Chengyou's ideas are also slowly changing. Although it is not arty, it is not a bad thing to have more talented people around.

Therefore, during the inspection this time, Hu Zai was specially called by Liu Chengyou to accompany him, and was responsible for some documents and edicts.

At this time, seeing his sickly appearance, he couldn't help but frowned, and said, "You don't seem to be looking well! But you didn't consider your body, how can you bear the fatigue of this journey, if you can't afford it, you'd better go back to Tokyo." Let's rest!"

Hearing what the emperor said, Hu Zai shook his head again and again, and replied very respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty is still in good health, it's just an old problem, it's okay!"

I looked at Hu Zai for a few more times, and found that his expression was very serious, but his eyes were calm and determined, so he didn't say anything more.

After Liu Chengyou boarded the boat, Hu Zai turned around, his steps changed from light to heavy, and a little strange rosiness appeared on his face.Many people knew that Hu was physically weak, but at this moment, he was already suffering from illness, which was just concealed by him.

As for the purpose, it is not complicated.A literati seeks fame, and Hu Zai's writing style can be regarded as excellent. A piece of "Bishian Fu" was widely circulated in Tokyo, and it was praised by people.If you have a healthy body, you may not be able to become a famous literary master in the future.

However, he was not loved by the heavens, and he was sick and ill for a long time, and he could not be cured by diagnosis and treatment.As far as Yu Huzai was concerned, although he won the first prize in the examination, these years were wasted, and now he has finally entered the eyes of the emperor.It is a rare opportunity to be specially named, to serve the imperial court, and to accompany him on the northern tour.

In this era, the protagonist and center will always be the Son of Heaven, and if he wants to leave his name in history, there is no better opportunity than serving beside Liu Chengyou, even if there is no great achievement, it is just a draft edict.

In the past few days of departure, Liu Chengyou said the imperial edict and writing, and Hu Zai polished it.

Hu Zai's illness has been going on for a long time, and this time, if he returns to Tokyo to recuperate from the grace of the emperor, there is little hope of recovery, but the opportunity to get it will be completely given up.

Therefore, Hu Zai chose to support the sick body by force.

After retiring, he quickly wrote the document, submitted it for approval, and sent it to Tokyo.Then, he quickly packed his bags with his servants and drove across the river.

It took more than half an hour before and after. The remaining group of campers had just boarded the ship, lifted anchor and left the shore, and slowly headed north, preparing to cross the open Yellow River.

After Junjia left, the martial law on Baimadu was gradually relaxed. Boats and boats came and went, business travelers entered the port, and the noise and bustle once again filled the port. Baimadu also quickly restored its former prosperity.At the same time, there was an additional topic of discussion, "the emperor's tour".If the emperor's tour was not for indulgence, but to inspect the state affairs and understand the people's sentiments, no matter how much money was spent, it would still boost the hearts and minds of the people.

Embark, disembark, sail, dock, disembark.After all this tossing, Liu Chengyou was also exhausted by the time he reached the North Shore.Fortunately, the government on the north bank made preparations for the reception, and the Longxi army who had crossed the river first also lined up in advance. After an hour of adjustments, they set off again, heading northwest to Daming Mansion. This was Liu Chengyou's traditional route for going north.

In fact, from Tokyo, it will be easier and faster if you take a boat.But there was no way, for one thing, Liu Chengyou didn't like to take a boat and thought it was too risky, and for another thing, the inspection route was also planned.Only some luggage is transported by ship.

Go north along the canal, rest at Neihuang for a night, and set off on the next day to Yuancheng, Daming Prefecture.

"I don't know what orders your majesty has?" Wei Renpu was ordered to come to see him and boarded the Luanjia.

Looking at him, Liu Chengyou said with a smile: "I am familiar with the name and the surrounding area. I am about to arrive in Yuancheng. I don't want to stay here for a long time. I will continue to go north after a two-day break. You and I will part ways here, the counties in the lower reaches of the river." In the past few years, there have been many floods, but these two years have been relatively peaceful. Regarding the reconstruction and restoration of farming, the former sent Wang Min to inspect and found many problems. I intend to work hard for Wei Qing, and use the honor of the prime minister to replace me. Go east, go to the downstream states and counties of the host country, see the current situation, examine the dykes, depose the places, and punish them or not!"

In the past few years, there were frequent floods in the Han Dynasty, especially in Zheng, Hua, Bo and downstream counties. The impact was very large, and millions of victims were affected.A series of political and people's livelihood problems arising from this have not yet been fully resolved.

Wei Renpu understood the emperor's intention after just a little bit of experience, and he clasped his hands and said, "Yes!"

"Let's go! When we come to Yuancheng again, maybe we will have another feeling!" Liu Chengyou chuckled lightly.

On the Yuancheng side, Guo Congyi, the Deputy Commander of the Guards Department, Dou Yi, the Governor of Xidao, and Li Huan, the Daming Mansion Yin, led the generals of Yuancheng and went out of the city to greet them.
