Han Shizu

Chapter 779 Arrangements Before Returning to Beijing
After Xiang Xun left, Liu Chengyou still sat alone in the night pavilion. In the deep night, the breeze was blowing, the courtyard was deep, and the bursts of cicadas made the scene even more tranquil.

Liu Chengyou's expression appeared to be very peaceful and indifferent. A series of complex emotions of anger, anxiety, and suspicion caused by the recent turmoil in Guanzhong have gradually disappeared.

During the exchange with Xiang Xun, during the process of reporting on the southwest affairs, Liu Chengyou has been silently observing Xiang Xun's performance, he is respectful, calm, humble, and keeps his courtiers' integrity, and has not become rampant because of his power domineering.

Liu Chengyou admitted that he was suspicious.After relaxing the mind and analyzing it carefully, you will find that the military and government in the Southwest are far from being out of the control of the imperial court.

Xiang Xun was deployed as the capital. Although the Governor-General has tens of thousands of troops in the southwest, judging from the deployment of troops, Qin, Long, Jing, and Wei have Wang Jing, and the rest are divided into a part of the Forbidden Army, Guanzhong Border Army, and Huaiwei and Huaiwei. German and Shu armies.

Among the generals commanding the army, there are Gao Huaide, Murong Chengtai, Liu Guangyi, Ma Renyu and other relatives and generals of the emperor, mid-level and lower-level officers, and there are also many military academies who have been stationed in Tokyo.

As for the administration, Song Yanwo, the son-in-law of the big man, was also in charge, and most of the army's logistics supply was also controlled by the food envoy Zhang Mei.

After careful analysis, the military and political aspects of the Southwest are still very balanced. Even if Xiang Xun really has a different heart, there will not be many people who are willing to follow the chaos and dare to follow the chaos.

Moreover, as far as Xiang Xun's performance is concerned, Liu Chengyou feels that this gentleman is still trustworthy, and he is also a minister worthy of his reliance, a general of the Zhu Kingdom, and the commander of Mieshu.And the reason for being suspicious, in the final analysis, is that Xiang Xun has been out for too long, and it is inevitable that he will become unfamiliar, time will grow old, and people's hearts will change.

However, because of this doubt, Liu Chengyou felt a little guilt in his heart, but it just passed away.As a dictatorial feudal monarch, jealousy and vigilance are almost instincts he has cultivated over the years.

When Liu Chengyou was meditating at night, the place where Concubine Gao stayed was full of laughter and laughter, immersed in a warm atmosphere.

"Uncle!" Liu Xi shouted excitedly to Gao Huaide.

Gao Huaide was also very happy, he shortly took it into his arms, weighed it, and showed a kind smile on his stern face: "It has grown a lot! It has also weighed a lot!"

"Don't be rude!" At this time, although Gao Guifei was smiling, she lightly reprimanded her.

Rebuked by his mother, Liu Xi immediately slid off his uncle obediently and stood aside obediently.Patting his head, Gao Huaide sighed to the imperial concubine: "You are too strict with Liu Xi!"

"Similar words, the officials also told me!" The concubine's beautiful eyes looked at her elder brother, and the corners of her delicate lips curled up: "This child is too loose, if he is not disciplined, how can he become a talent?"

"Oh..." Hearing his words, Gao Huaide couldn't help but sighed.

Looking at her elder brother, Concubine Gao's expression turned a little warmer, her eyebrows changed, revealing a little gorgeous style, she cared: "You've been in the Southwest Army for two years, but it's okay!"

Gao Huaide found that this younger sister, who originally needed the protection and support of him and his father, became more noble and heroic, and should not be underestimated.Under his gaze, he felt a little pressure.

Spreading his hands slightly, he replied: "I have been in the army since I was a child, and being in the army is like being at home, without any discomfort!"

"It's you, in the palace, everything is fine!"

Faced with Gao Huaide's concern, the imperial concubine smiled: "I have been serving the official family for almost ten years, and I am used to everything!"

Seeing that Concubine Gao remained calm and calm during her conversation, Gao Huaide couldn't help feeling a little melancholy in his heart. He looked at Liu Xi who was standing aside, and then looked at his sister: "You are too strong!"

"In the deep palace, there has always been an undercurrent. You compete for it. Everything revolves around the official family. The official family's favor is divided into three points, and the empress and concubine are all chased away. Even if there is no competition, with the influence of the Gao family, eventually It is taboo." The imperial concubine looked calm and said eloquently.

Seeing this, Gao Huaide frowned slightly, and said: "But the official's side—"

"I have served the official family for so many years, and I still have a certain understanding of him, so I never overstep, violate his taboo, and provoke his dissatisfaction!" Concubine Gao smiled lightly, her voice was pleasant to the ears.

Looking at Gao Huaide, he continued: "Right now, everything is safe and sound! But ten years later, 20 years later, there will be some things that even the officials will not be able to control!"

After being silent for a while, Gao Huaide touched Liu Xi, who had clear and innocent eyes, and said, "No matter what, I am your elder brother! But, I also need to think about the whole Gao family!"

There was something in Gao Huaide's words, and when Concubine Gao heard it, her phoenix eyebrows stretched even more, and she smiled softly: "I understand! After all, it depends on Liu Xi's growth and performance, and the will of the officials."

As she said that, Concubine Gao deliberately diverted from some obscure and heavy topics, and said: "My sister-in-law has passed away, and my brother is still single and has no one to take care of him. It's time to consider remarrying! Do you want me to send someone to find out for you?" ?”

Hearing this, Gao Huaide shook his head: "I have been in the army for the past two years, so I don't care about it!"

In fact, Gao Huaide never lacked caregivers, and there were also many concubines and maidservants around him.If you want to marry a regular wife, it will inevitably be another political marriage.
In Chang'an, Liu Chengyou stayed for nearly ten days, and during this time, he didn't have any free time.Guanzhong's politics and people's livelihood, officials and criminal names, military affairs in the southwest, frontier affairs in the northwest, there are too many things that he can pay attention to nearby.

Liu Chengyou also had the heart to return to the east until he was sent to train the Southwest general.At the same time, the imperial court's opinions on the aftermath of the Shu chaos were also submitted to the imperial court. Regarding the consideration of the ministers, Liu Chengyou did not have much opinion and basically agreed.

In particular, the suggestion of Shu prisoners to relocate to Shibian was highly recognized by him, and he directly approved it, and instructed Tokyo to send a team of capable officials to the west to be responsible for coordinating the local and border states. season.

"Guo Tong, how long have you been in the Chongzheng Hall?" Liu Chengyou asked, looking at his uncle, after approving some important matters from Tokyo.

Guo Tong didn't know why, and replied honestly: "It's been about three years since I returned to Your Majesty!"

"Time is not short!" Liu Chengyou nodded and looked at him: "Are you willing to go down and take on some specific duties?"

The emperor asked this question, so he must have his own ideas. Guo Tong was also clever, and he clasped his hands and said, "If your majesty has entrusted you, I am willing to listen to the arrangements, and it is my duty to do so!"

"Okay!" Liu Chengyou was very satisfied with his awareness, and said, "These Shu captives, no, I entrust you with the overall planning and implementation of the migration of these Shu natives, how about it?"

After a little consideration, Guo Tong replied in an affirmative tone: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"

"The relocation of nearly 30,000 people is not much, but it is not a lot. The key is that they are scattered in various state capitals, and affected by the previous chaos, people's hearts are inevitably fluctuating. You need to spend more time, use your brains, and publicize the policies of the imperial court. , for peace of mind.

With the local government, we must try our best to cooperate well, communicate more, and pay attention to methods.The place to move should be considered in advance, and it is better to consider more than less, and make full preparations.

For all the money, food, tools, seeds, and horses needed for the migration, ask Yan Jinqing, the transfer envoy, to get them, and Li Shaoyou, the chief envoy, will try his best to support you."

"In short, this is a meticulous, time-consuming and labor-intensive job. It is not easy. Be patient and don't rush! I believe in your ability!"

Hearing the emperor's words, it was both a reminder and an encouragement. Guo Tong looked slightly happy and energetic, and said: "With your Majesty's instruction, I will do my best to live up to the entrustment and settle the matter of emigration to the border. Done properly!"

"En!" Liu Chengyou nodded.

Glancing at the Jingzhao government office, Liu Chengyou suddenly asked Zhang Dejun: "Then how is Li Song now?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, I'm still waiting in the mansion!" Zhang Dejun said.

"Heh!" Liu Chengyou couldn't help shaking his head: "Do these literati like to do this to me? Pretending to be calm?"

"Since that's the case, I will fulfill him! Pass the decree, Jingzhao Mansion Yin Li Song will serve as his official post, and the judge Zhao Xiuji will take over!" Liu Chengyou ordered, paused, and waved his hand to add: "Commander Zhao Hongyin of the Guanzhong Metropolis, accompany you Returning to the east, the capital is temporarily represented by the deputy envoy!"

"Yes!"
