Chapter 744 Changes in Official Positions
The next day, Yu Jia set off on time, without any delay, and no one dared to delay.Before leaving, Liu Chengyou issued another decree, saying that the palace in Yuancheng does not need too many people to maintain it, so it should be dismissed as appropriate.

More than [-] people, with a complete set of chariots and horses and guards of honor, and a lot of flags, showed the majesty of the royal family. The iron cavalry cleared the way, and the armored soldiers guarded the rear. They calmly followed the direction of the canal and headed northeast.

In the second year of Qianyou's winter tour, after passing Yuancheng, he turned to the West Road, following the original route of chasing Khitan northward, going through Xing and Ming, passing through Ji and Zhao.This time is not the case, the route has been changed. According to Liu Chengyou's idea, he is planning to go along the way to Hebei, and check the local governance and people's livelihood along the way.

From Yuancheng to Qinghe, Beizhou, the journey of more than 130 miles, it took a full six days to stop and see, and only rested for one night in Linqing County.Of course, with Liu Chengyou's eyes and ears alone, he couldn't see and hear all the time. The accompanying minister Lang Guan and the local Wu Desi were his eyes and ears.

The sunshine in spring always makes people feel comfortable. Leaning on the cushion, the light shines through the rolled up curtain to brighten the interior of Luanjia.

There is a stack of memorials on the side, all of which were recently delivered to the camp from Tokyo, some of the more important or controversial ones.He said that all the affairs of the court were entrusted to his father, but Liu Chengyou was really not used to it if he was allowed to let go completely and enjoy the northern tour.

What comforted him a little was that the ministers still knew how to report to the camp. Obviously, they all knew that the emperor was a man with a strong desire to control, and their attitudes were very correct.

What Liu Chengyou held in his hand was the mobilization of group discussions involving officials from Huaixi and Hebei provinces, which was passed to Liu Chengyou.Judging from the time, the efficiency is very high, and the prime ministers seem to have discussed the candidate without too much wrangling.Of course, reporting to the emperor for approval is a necessary process.

Liu Wensou, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was highly praised for his position as the chief envoy of Huaixi.Liu Wensou had a great reputation in the court, and he was the one who followed the etiquette the most among all the courtiers. His words and deeds were almost pedantic.

On weekdays, except for the official salary and a little ancestral property in his hometown, he has nothing to earn. Unlike many officials, they secretly buy land, or use fake relatives or servants to manage the property, and strictly prohibit their family members from doing business.Therefore, Liu Wensao's life has been very poor.

Liu Chengyou once heard an interesting story. A student was transferred from another place and returned to Beijing. He brought a gift to visit him, but he refused because he could not accept it due to affection.But the next day, it will be returned with a gift of several times the value.After a few times, others have understood his ambition, and they will visit the mansion without bringing money or gifts.

However, because of several times of doubling the rewards, Liu Wensou's life became even more difficult. In Tokyo, it is very rare to achieve his official position.It is known that in order to reward his reputation, Liu Chengyou specially rewarded him with some money, grain, and clothing, but it was later heard that all the gifts were sealed by Liu Wensou, and he used them without taking a single item.

In view of this, there are rumors in Beijing that Liu Wensou's Qing Festival is praised, saying that he does not even use and enjoy the money and things bestowed by the emperor, let alone gifts from other people, so his reputation has become more and more prosperous.

For Liu Chengyou, Liu Wensou has a great reputation. If you look at it with suspicion, you may be suspected of being a show, but even if it is a show, it is rare to be able to achieve his level and always match your words with deeds.Furthermore, the quality and style of incorruptibility and righteousness should be respected and praised. There is also a need for "sages" like Liu Wensou inside and outside the court.

However, can he be done well if he is sent out as an official, and directly as the head of civil affairs?

Leaning against the wall of Luan's carriage, Liu Chengyou slowly fell into thought, with a little hesitation on his face, maybe he didn't realize it himself, but he actually had a little prejudice against these well-known celebrities, and always felt that his generation Show off your virtues to boast your name.

After thinking about it for a long time, he raised his head and looked out. The bright sunshine was a bit dazzling. The light and heat seemed to dispel some malicious speculations and prejudices in his heart.

He shook his head lightly, rubbed his eyes, and muttered: "What's wrong with me, under the fame, there must be no worthless people, and honest people, there are also talents."

After muttering, Liu Chengyou silently made a decision, at least give Liu Wensou a chance, otherwise why would he veto it.On the other hand, letting Liu Wensou go to Huaixi, no matter how bad it is, he will not become a corrupt official.
As for the location of the Daming Mansion, it was proposed that Sizhou Zhizhou Wang Zhu be transferred. This proposal surprised Liu Chengyou even more.It seemed that the chancellors were showing favor to the emperor. They all knew that Wang Zhu was the one who went out before the imperial court, and it seemed that they were making a deal. Wang Zhu was transferred to the daimyo, and Liu Wensou took the post of Huaixi.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou called out: "Zhang Dejun, call Guo Tong!"

Weiji, as the uncle of the state, Guo Tong was ordered to run quickly to the side of Luanjia, quickly keep up with the speed of Yujia, and greeted him through the window: "See Your Majesty, what orders does Your Majesty have?"

Seeing how hard he was walking and running, Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "Get in the car!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After boarding the car, it was Guo Wei who had a strict family upbringing. After running for a while, his breathing was unstable. In front of Liu Chengyou, he didn't dare to take a breath, so as not to lose his appearance.Seeing this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help laughing: "Look at you holding back, relax, we are all a family, don't be so restrained!"

Seeing the kind face of the emperor's brother-in-law, Guo Tong slowly relaxed, and replied, "I dare not be rude!"

"You guys, you are so careful, as if I can eat people, is I so scary?" Liu Chengyou said, glancing at Guo Tong.

After finishing speaking, Liu Chengyou handed the approved memorial to Guo Tong, saying: "In answer to Tokyo, Liu Wensou will be Huaixi, and as for the Daming Mansion, Yunzhou Shi Dexuan will be the post. The change of position will be approved and transferred by the Ministry of Officials, so there is no need to repeat it!"

"Yes!" Guo Tong replied.

In the end, Liu Chengyou did not agree to use Wang Zhu as the famous governor after all. The reason was very simple. He thought that Wang Zhu was not qualified enough.Ordinary state capitals are nothing more than ordinary state capitals. Daming Prefecture is not an ordinary place. In terms of administrative status, it is lower than Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Taiyuan, and is on the same level as Jingzhao, Yangzhou, Hezhong, and Zhending.

As for Shi Dexun, one is that he has ruled Yunzhou for many years, and it is time to move his nest, and the other is that his talents are not bad.Of course, another consideration is that he is the son of Zheng Guogong Shi Hongzhao.

Shi Hongzhao has been in Lingzhou for some years, guarding the western frontier and suppressing Furong and Di. This man is a scourge inside, but a fierce tiger outside, and he has played a lot of roles.In addition to the usual praise and rewards, only Yin and his descendants can make him work harder and feel at ease.

"Don't rush away yet!" Seeing Guo Tong's resignation notice, Liu Chengyou waved his hand to stop him.

Hearing this, the buttocks that had just been lifted fell down again, Guo Tong cupped his hands and said, "What else does Your Majesty order?"

Liu Chengyou turned his eyes to the northwest, and said: "We are almost at Qinghe, and we will go straight to Cangzhou, but the distance from Xingzhou is getting farther and farther away! Last year, I promised Guo Ning that we would go with her to visit women during the northern tour. Weng.

But now it seems that it is inconvenient to divert.Therefore, I am going to let you and Guo Ning go to Yaoshan to visit the old woman, and then go north to Zhending Mansion to wait for me.By the way, I also condolences to the old man for me, and bring my blessings."

Knowing the meaning of the emperor, Guo Tong suddenly understood, described the stretch, and said a little moved: "Your Majesty still misses and cares about my father so much during his northern tour, and I thank His Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my father!"

"Hey! I've said it before, we're all one family, so there's no need to be like this!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand with a calm face: "I have prepared some gifts, and I will take them with me at that time!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"In addition, if I can't go with Guo Ning, it's considered breaking my promise. I'm afraid she will feel wronged, so please comfort her!" Liu Chengyou said again, looking very careful.

Guo Tong immediately said: "Yes!"
