Han Shizu

Chapter 780
Regarding the disposal of Li Song in the Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Chengyou did not pursue the blame after the incident purely because of the chaos in Guanzhong and Shu. Of course, at the beginning, he did have that kind of thought.

However, with the development and changes of the subsequent situation, Liu Chengyou also changed his original intention.The dismissal of the chief executive Hu Yanke and the death of the procurator Shen Yu were all at this sensitive moment. In the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, this is already a very severe punishment.

The officials of the prefectures and counties below have their own imperial court departments to punish those who are punished, to punish the past and avoid the past, and to warn the world's ministers and workers, which can also be achieved.

As for Li Song, it was more because of his official status.It is undeniable that Li Song has literary talent, and he was also a minister of the former dynasty. In addition to his relationship with King Yong, he has more than enough prestige and ability to be the governor of Jingzhao.

However, as far as Liu Chengyou knows, as early as when he was the Taifu of King Yong and the judge of Jingzhao, he was suspected of promoting his relatives and allowing others to be selfish. It is not uncommon to see traitors.In particular, his two younger brothers, relying on their power, bought properties and acres of land and made a fortune.

Li Song himself may "get out of the mud without being stained", but Liu Chengyou can't tolerate his actions.Liu Chengyou does not require his courtiers to be "ruthless and ruthless" and to serve the country wholeheartedly. However, the exchanges of pro-old interests need to be restrained. The higher the power, the more so, and Li Song is almost indulgent. the behavior of.

This is the real reason why Li Song was dismissed.It was for Liu Chengxun's face that he was allowed to serve as an official. Moreover, this matter is not over yet, and the investigation of the old relatives of the Li family will continue.

On the other hand, from Tokyo, Prime Minister Li Tao's suggestion on follow-up treatment came, including impeachment against Zhao Hongyin and Li Song.

Perhaps for Li Xiang, he was happy that the emperor agreed with his idea, but disappointed that the follow-up personnel arrangements were all considered, and he directly and forcefully intervened in the official position to seize his power.

In fact, in recent years, Liu Chengyou has also felt more and more that it is inappropriate for Li Tao, who is the chief minister, to also take care of the officials.

Dawn came from the east, the sky was slightly bright, and the rising sun cast wisps of soft brilliance, making the sky red.The morning light woke up the quiet Chang'an, the neighborhood gradually became noisy, and the voices of people and animals permeated the room. The people of Chang'an started a new day.

All the preparations for returning to Beijing have already been made. At the first dawn of dawn, the accompanying concubines, princes, palace servants, civil and military troops, and the imperial army have all gathered outside Chang'an City.

Because of the warm welcome at the time of coming, Liu Chengyou specifically asked when leaving, the movement should be small, not to disturb the people, and affect the normal life of the people in Chang'an. The image and personality of "loving the people" are constantly being built.

Even so, under the watchful eyes of Guanzhong, Jingzhao generals and a large number of soldiers and common people, the emperor embarked on a journey back to the east.

In the midsummer morning, it is dry and even a bit cool, but you only need to run a little and work hard, and you can feel the almost scorching heat.When the sun rises, a new round of baking comes again.

In the west of Chang'an City, on the wide and flat official road, a team of about twenty people walked slowly under the summer sunshine.Several healthy horses, a herd of camels, and four pack carts.

Everyone is dusty, and although their clothes are not ragged, they are obviously old and somewhat worn.However, they all carry some iron and blood aura, the kind of temperament that has been honed through life and death, and they are all equipped with weapons, three long swords, and the rest are all iron knives, and there are some bows and crossbows on horses and cars.

"Finally in Chang'an!" Looking at the ever-growing Chang'an City in his field of vision, a middle-aged man with a strong figure said with emotion.

Sitting high on the horse, Lu Duosun stretched out his description, and sighed softly: "Yes! I'm finally back!"

This team is Lu Duoxun and his party who were sent by Emperor Liu Chengyou to Hexi in the winter of the previous year to spy on the situation in the northwest.Now, they have finally returned to the east, but compared with the brigade at the beginning of the westward journey, there are now only these twenty or so people left.

After a long period of fatigue, experience, and the wind and sand from the northwest, Lu Duoxun was no longer as fair as he was in Tokyo. His skin was obviously darker and rougher, but his whole body was a bit tougher.

"Lu Langjun, you have a good memory. How long did it take us to go to Hexi?" The middle-aged man, surnamed Wang, is a subordinate of Wu Desi. There are too many, I can't help but ask Luderson.

Lu Duoxun took a look at him, long-term life and death together, formed a deep friendship, said to him: "If I remember correctly, it has been twenty months!"

"It's not easy!"

It is definitely a hard job to be sent to the West as an envoy, and it is not only hard work, but also dangerous.Their experience in the past two years, climbing over mountains, crossing rivers, walking across the Gobi, crossing the desert, dealing with various ethnic groups in Hexi, and surviving among horse bandits and bandits, the hardships and sufferings are beyond people's imagination.

"It's been long enough!" Ludoxun said, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "However, we are finally back, and we are lucky after all! I heard that His Majesty has made a western tour to Chang'an, and we will return to the nearest place! "

"Let's go into the city!" Ludosun greeted, kicking the horse's belly lightly.

These dry people have long been noticed by the guards at the city gate, and all the travelers around them are also far away.When he got close, he was stopped and asked: "Who are you, go to the side and accept the inspection!"

The experience along the way, the peace of mind has long been polished. Facing the unceremonious interrogation of the captain of the guard, Lu Duoxun appeared very modest, and cupped his hands and said: "I am an envoy to Hexi and the Western Regions under the order of Your Majesty. Now Return from mission, please let us know!"

As he said that, Lu Duosun also took out the identity testimonials such as talisman festivals and official certificates.Hearing what he said, the captain immediately paid attention to it, and took a serious look at Ludoxon. Although he was young, he had an extraordinary bearing, and it was obvious that he had traveled for a long time.In addition, no one dared to pretend to be the envoy of the Son of Heaven, especially in broad daylight, before the great city of Chang'an, and with the biography of his identity, he immediately believed it.

"Let go!" The captain ordered immediately, and at the same time ordered people to report to the Yasi immediately.

In the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the newly appointed Governor Zhao Xiuji is inspecting government affairs. Although he has worked in Jingzhao Mansion for more than a year, it feels different to become the top leader. It also takes a certain amount of time to adapt to the new position and new identity.

Zhao Xiuji was Li Shouzhen's staff in the early years, and he relied heavily on him.However, this is a person with far-reaching vision. Before Li Shouzhen's rebellion, he fled Hezhong with his family and fled to Tongguan. He warned the court and provided a lot of internal information about the rebels in Hezhong.In the process of quelling the chaos in the river, it played a certain role.

In the next seven years, he was promoted many times, until he was transferred to Jingzhao Mansion as a judge, partnered with Li Song, and now Li Song has become an official and has successfully become the head of a mansion.

In the midst of chaos, looking for opportunities, for Zhao Xiuji, the chaos in the river may just be an opportunity to survive, but the Shu chaos in Guanzhong this time is really a great progress in his career in his later years.

After receiving the news from Lu Duoxun, Zhao Xiuji showed great importance, put down the affairs in hand, and went to personally invite Lu Duoxun and Inspector Nawu Desi into the government office.

In the back hall, Zhao Xiuji, who was over sixty years old, looked at Lu Duoxun kindly: "The two missions to the Western Regions have gone through hardships and dangers, and they have really worked hard. Such hard work, it is no less than Zhang Qian's journey!"

"Master Zhao's praise is ridiculous, Lu has self-knowledge, how dare he be compared with Bo Wanghou!" Lu Duoxun buried his head in eating the food and wine prepared by the mansion, he was very rude, and he didn't pay attention to his appearance, he listened to his praise and said modestly.

"Mr. Lu, you don't need to be overly humble. You can go back and forth thousands of miles, gallop beyond the Great Wall, cover a long distance, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people!" Zhao Xiuji said.

He wolfed down some food, drank a few gulps of wine, wiped his mouth, showing a happy expression, Lu Duoxun looked at Zhao Xiuji: "Dare to ask the envoy, after entering Fengxiang, I heard that your majesty is lucky Chang'an, so hurry up to come east to seek an audience. Now it seems that His Majesty has driven back to Beijing?"
