Han Shizu

Chapter 788
On the first day Liu Chengyou returned to Beijing, he did not return to the Chongzheng Hall, did not meet the ministers, did not check the government affairs, but only wandered around in the harem and stayed overnight in the Chunlan Hall.

"You are inconvenient, so don't rush to wait on you, so you can rest!" In the early morning, Liu Chengyou, who was full of energy, took the steaming silk handkerchief handed over by Xiaofu himself, wiped his face, and said to him she said.

In front of Liu Chengyou, Xiao Fu has always acted like a little girl, with a lot of thoughts, competing for favor and getting jealous, but she never hides it.After Liu Chengyou's thoughtful comforting, the grievances have been dispelled a lot. There is a little messy temperament on the pretty face without makeup, and the cheeks are rosy. He obviously reluctantly asks: "When will the officials come to me again?"

After shaking her hand, Liu Chengyou responded with a smile: "I'll come when I have time!"

Probably because he felt that his promise was a little perfunctory, Liu Chengyou said again: "On weekdays, you should take a walk outside more often, don't be bored in the hall all the time. Also, spend more time with Liu Jia, I saw her playing around the pillars in the hall yesterday .”

"Yes!" Xiaofu replied in a low voice.

"It's time to go up, I'm leaving!" After getting dressed, he looked in the mirror to make sure that his appearance was in good condition, and then he left slowly after saying a few words and being sent off respectfully by the little talisman.

In the early autumn, the court room has become a bit colder, and the sky above the palace is clear and clean, giving Liu Chengyou a feeling of refreshing.On the way to Chongyuan Hall, Liu Chengyou was thinking about Xiaofu.

For Mrs. Xiaofu, Liu Chengyou's feelings are of course not as deep as those of Mrs. Dafu, Gao, and Zhesan. Up to now, he has almost forgotten the original intention of accepting her. It seems that it is because of his hobby of collecting "famous beauties". Because of the sisters, the purpose of wooing Fu Shi is to lean back.

The appearance, figure, and temperament are impeccable. Although sometimes love can make you petty, but after all, it is cultivated. Liu Chengyou still has a special feeling for Xiaofu, and he still loves it very much.

Miscellaneous thoughts flashed in his mind, and when he arrived at the Chongyuan Hall, Liu Chengyou came back to his senses and said to himself, "What's wrong with me, I'm worried about the love in the harem. Although a beauty is good, don't linger and sink in it."

In the Chongyuan Hall, the officials in charge of various ministries in Tokyo have already come out of the leaky courtyard, filed in and waited in it.After tidying up his emotions, Liu Chengyou stepped inside steadily, accepted the worship of all the officials, and began his first big court after returning to Beijing.

Although Liu Chengyou has not held court meetings very frequently since he came to power, he has to admit that he has an unprecedented sense of vanity when he looks at those high-ranking officials and ministers with great reputation and power in their hands respectfully kneeling before His Majesty. Satisfy.Standing aloft, as if there was a feeling of knowing everything in the palm of his hand, Liu Chengyou himself was curious about how he controlled his psychology and emotions.

Ordinary people, I am afraid that they have already been intoxicated by it, they are high-spirited, arrogant and complacent.It can only be said that he, Emperor Liu, is indeed extraordinary.

"My trip this time lasted nearly half a year. I walked through dozens of prefectures and counties, and traveled thousands of miles. I have a lot of emotions. The Han Dynasty has established the country for ten years. Up to now, there are signs of peace in the world. Military administration, agriculture, mulberry, and education All of them have made great progress, and they are all ministers and officials at home and abroad who have the courage to do things, fulfill their duties, have one heart and one mind, and assist the prime minister!" Standing in front of the imperial case, Liu Chengyou delivered his inspection speech.

"This is all due to His Majesty's wise leadership. The virtuous ministers inside and outside, and talented people from all over the world have been inspired to do their best!" Li Tao immediately complimented him at the beginning of the line.

Glancing at him, Liu Chengyou twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, changed the subject, and continued: "However, the world is not in peace, and the great cause is not yet completed. I and the lords still need to work hard, and we should not be neglected because of arrogance. In today's world, people's livelihoods are still difficult, internal and external officials still need to be clarified, imperial policies still need to be implemented, disaster-stricken counties still need to be restored, thieves and treacherous officials are rampant in the countryside, and local security needs to be strengthened. There are still many affairs in the world. Let's encourage each other!"

"I will bear in mind your Majesty's teachings, and I will do my best to support the sage and clarify the world!" Facing the change in the emperor's tone, Li Tao was a little embarrassed, but he reacted quickly, and took the lead in worshiping the emperor.

"You are welcome!" Waving his hands, Liu Chengyou turned around and sat down on the case, and said with a gentle smile on Li Tao.

"Wei Qing, visit Huangfanzhou County and tell us what you have seen and heard!" He looked at Wei Renpu again.

"Yes!" After bowing out of the queue, Wei Renpu reported, "Your Majesty, I was ordered to make an eastward tour and visit the 32 counties of the five prefectures to investigate the situation of the officials and the people. After nearly two years of recovery and development, the local situation has become relatively stable. Hundreds of thousands of people either emigrated or returned to their hometowns to rebuild their homes. The land reclamation has reached [-] hectares. Within three years, if there is no major disaster, it is possible to get plenty.

However, according to my observation, the people's livelihood is indeed difficult, the law and order are unstable, and there are often disputes between villages and villages, some fierce and even fighting with weapons.There is even a traitorous official who commits dishonorable and disloyal acts, distorts the good government of the court, seeks personal gain, and fills the official pocket.

There were five discussions before the ministers, and there were suggestions that the imperial court should strengthen the supervision of officials, increase taxes, crack down on lawlessness and strengthen public security, and open up mountains, rivers, forests, and benefit the poor people.
"I've read Wei Qing's memorabilia, and they are very insightful, and they all mentioned the main points, which are worthy of advice!" Liu Chengyou nodded, and looked at Li Tao: "Li Qing, you are in charge of the official department, governing the politicians, and the affairs of the officials. You still need to bear it!"

"Yes!" Li Tao clasped his hands and replied, "I have discussed with the lords, and the officials, criminals, and capital inspectors have already selected the responsible officials to cooperate with the Daozhou inspection and patrol the localities!"

"En!" Liu Chengyou responded, looking very satisfied.

Looking around, Liu Chengyou said again: "Two years ago, I sent a mission to the west of Hexi on festivals. After going through hardships and dangers, they finally returned to the east and brought back a lot of information and news about the northwest. All the gentlemen here, I'm afraid that not many people know the situation in the Northwest. Even if they know something, they can only read a few words from the old books.

I mentioned this just to warn you about one thing. Although the survivors of Longyou, Hexi and even Anxi have been away from the imperial court for many years due to the isolation of traffic, they are still the land of China and China.Although time is long, I will never forget it, and I hope you will not forget it. For thousands of years, the land where the civilization of the Central Plains spread was left to us by our ancestors. As future generations, we should keep it in mind! "

The emperor's tone was a bit serious, and the ministers looked at each other a few times, and of course they all showed the emperor's face and said yes.

"The general strategy of the imperial court is still to flatten the kingdoms and unify the world. Although the matter of the Northwest cannot be taken into account for the time being, it is better to strengthen the connection with the various ethnic groups in the states and restart the Silk Road!" Liu Chengyou said: "However, here Before that, you might as well listen to the current situation in Hexi!"

"Lu Duoxun, please tell the princes in the palace." Liu Chengyou looked at Lu Duoxun who participated in state affairs for the first time.

"Obey!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Duoxun took a deep breath, stepped out calmly, and spoke eloquently.

After repeated explanations, Ludoxun talked about the situation in the Northwest without thinking.Today's Ludoxun has become the "expert" who is most familiar with Northwest affairs in Dahan.Basically, his future career advancement all fell on the "Northwest Plan".

A big court meeting ended in Lu Duoxun's "Journey to the West Report".

"Your Majesty!" Returning to the Chongzheng Hall, the two bachelors Zhao Wei and Zhao Pu waited in front of the imperial court together.

"Zhao Yu, it seems that your complexion is not good?" Liu Chengyou noticed the strange rosiness on Zhao's face, and couldn't help frowning.

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. Your majesty returned to Beijing. It's just that I stayed up for a while last night to sort out the memorial. It's not a big problem!" Zhao Wei replied respectfully.

Memorials are neatly arranged on the imperial case, which is almost full and built very high.Looking across, Liu Chengyou couldn't help counting: "One, two, thirty and twenty!"

"A full twenty stacks!" Liu Chengyou's tone was full of surprise.

Seeing this, Zhao Pu reported: "These are the important tasks that the Political Affairs Hall will deal with when Your Majesty is away from Beijing. In addition, Li Xianggong passed on a message that the affairs of all the departments under the Zhongshu School are also ready for your Majesty to consult at any time!"

"This is to prepare, let me check the homework!" Liu Chengyou said so.

Er Zhao was slightly taken aback when he heard this, as if he didn't understand the meaning in the emperor's tone.

Glancing at the two of them, Liu Chengyou said with a wry smile: "I still remember that at the beginning of my succession, I was only worried that there were not enough memorials on the case, and I was afraid that I would miss the internal and external government affairs. But now, looking at the memorials full of cases, I really have a feeling What a daunting feeling!"

"Your Majesty returned to Beijing for the first time, maybe you can take a rest for a few days before taking up government affairs?" Zhao Pu suggested.

"Stay still? That's okay!" Liu Chengyou shook his head: "If this is the case, it will take less than two days. I'm afraid this big case won't be able to be dealt with!"

Sitting down, looking at the two, Liu Chengyou said: "You two, choose the most important one, and talk to me first!"

"Yes!"
