Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 364 Abundant Talents
Time flies, and there will naturally be rewards after the great victory returns to appease the harem.

Many people performed brilliantly in this battle. He has a lot of capable people, and he needs various rewards. Naturally, the rewards for the soldiers of the three armies are indispensable. Checking military merits and distributing rewards are also many things, which are left to the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Third Division.

However, Shen Yilun verified that the war was a loss. The Northern Han Dynasty was not like the Later Shu Dynasty. It was militaristic and fought for years. In addition, it paid tribute to the Liao Kingdom, and the treasury was empty. It is difficult to support the army.

Generally speaking, the more you fight in the south, the more you earn, and the more you lose when you fight in the north. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of cost, so it is often more difficult to fight in the north.

In the harem, Shi Congyun crawled out of Empress Dowager Fu's palace early in the morning.

After what happened last time, no one dared to say any nonsense about expelling Empress Dowager Fu from the palace.

Emperor Shi was even more unscrupulous, and ran to the residence of Empress Dowager Fu within a few days after returning, and now he didn't even bother to cover up.

Empress Dowager Fu was naturally powerless to refuse him, but what surprised him was that the second child of the Fu family also lived with Empress Dowager Fu, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Second Sister Fu and Empress Dowager Fu look the most alike, and the age gap is not that big, but their personalities are very different.

That night, Empress Dowager Fu's face turned red, while Fu Er retreated in panic like a frightened deer. Shi Congyun stared at the back of Fu Er, who was very similar to Empress Dowager Fu, and suddenly thought of some scenes that touched his heart.

Empress Dowager Fu sighed, obviously guessing what he was thinking, and whispered: "Does the official want the second sister to come into the palace?"

Shi Congyun coughed dryly, "I see that the second sister looks a lot like you, and I was just curious for a while, just curious."

Empress Dowager Fu did not speak, and undressed him meekly.

"You are really amazing." Shi Congyun praised, and Empress Dowager Fu's fair neck was stained with a layer of pink.

"In the future, I will live in the palace more. You can go out of the Wei Palace if you want, but I will send someone to tell you to come in. Why don't I make you a concubine?" Shi Congyun let Empress Dowager Fu considerately He dressed and washed, and said lazily.

Empress Dowager Fu shook her head, "I am content with being favored by officials, no amount of favor is appropriate."

"You are such a smart, beautiful and sensible woman." Shi Congyun gently held her clean and beautiful chin, "I can't hold back when you are like this. Come, I will feed you fish."

Empress Dowager Fu's bun was disheveled, her face was like a peach blossom, she lowered her head docilely.

She must understand that the second sister is already the queen, and if the Fu family's favor is too much, the emperor will not be at ease, so she is very sensible and takes the initiative not to ask for any rewards.

Which man doesn't love such a sensible and beautiful woman.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Shi Congyun ordered some money to be rewarded to Zhang Yongde, Li Chongjin, Zheng Wang Guo Zongxun and other former imperial relatives. On the same day, he ordered Yelu Talie, the king of the South Court of Liao Dynasty, who had been guarded for more than two years, to be released from Yushitai Prison. Temple settled down.

The main consideration is that Yelu Talie is also a well-known "Lord of the People" in the Liao Kingdom. During his tenure as the King of the Southern Academy, he worked hard to govern, refused to disturb the people, took the initiative to Sinicize, and made great contributions to the prosperity and rise of the people of the Liao Kingdom. He is very popular in the Liao Kingdom Look, if he dies in Daliang, it will not be good for cleaning up the rivers and mountains to the north in the future.

On the same day, the emperor issued an edict to reward Liu Ren, who had lived in Daliang for a long time, with [-] yuan, a jade belt, a saddle, and a brocade robe, which meant resuming the general.

All of a sudden, the Liu Mansion, which no one cares about, became very popular, and there was an endless stream of people coming to the door, almost breaking the threshold.

Shi Congyun really meant to use Liu Renshan. First of all, he really has the ability. At the beginning, he faced the [-] army of Hou Zhou and was trapped in Shouzhou for more than a year. He was able to hold on. Many Li Jixun's army burned down the siege equipment.It can be seen that he is a talent.

The second is that Shi Congyun's gaze has already turned to the south of the Yangtze River. In the Southern Han Dynasty (Guangdong and Guangxi), naval forces are indispensable for fighting in the south. Obviously, Liu Renshan and other southern generals must be more professional in naval warfare.

On the same day, Shi Congyun came to watch the dragon boat by the bank of Bian River in person, accompanied by civil and military officials, flags of various colors all over the sky, and a huge team of thousands of riders.

It was also at this time that Shi Congyun realized in his heart that maybe it was because he, the emperor, was lazy?Or more timid?Or cunning, like to let others do things, and over time, there are actually a lot of talents under his hands.

Those who are in Beijing, those who guard the Quartet, there are useful talents everywhere.

Generals and military officers in the army include Shao Ji, Wang Zhong, Wang Shenqi, Li Chuyun, Wang Quanbin, Wang Huan, Guo Tingwei, Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Murong Yanzhao, Li Hanchao, Guo Jin, Dong Zunhui, Luo Yanhuan, Liu Qingchuan , Fu Zhaoyuan, Zhang Zhengtao, Zhang Zhenghai, Meng Xuanzhe, Han Baozheng, Liu Renshan, Dang Jin, Jing Si, Yang Jiye, Gao Huaide, Xiang Gong, Si Chao, Zhe Dejian, etc., are all available talents.

Among them are several generals who can stand on their own, such as Li Chuyun, Wang Quanbin, Wang Shenqi, Xiang Gong, Cao Bin, and Murong Yanzhao. He can rest assured that they can lead an army alone and control a war.

Wen Chen Zhonglu Qiu Zhongqing, Fan Zhi, Dou Yi, Wang Pu, Lu Duoxun, Shen Yilun, Tao Gu, Li Fang, Feng Jisheng, etc. are all capable and talented people. With them in the court, I don’t have to worry about trivial matters For affairs, you only need to steer the development of the country in the general direction, and the rest of the time can be used to play games with the concubines and queens in the harem, and fight for the glorious and great cause of multiplying the human race.

No matter what he wants to do now, he seems to be able to find the right person. This situation undoubtedly makes Emperor Shi more satisfied, and he is more convinced that he is wise and powerful, and he is an extremely powerful emperor. , Tang Zong, Song Zu are not as good as him.

As for the memorabilia of various envoys requesting to go to Daliang, the capital, to have an audience with the emperor, Shi Congyun was absolutely correct.

It even included a copy of his old father-in-law, Jiedushi of the Tianxiong Army, Wei Wang Fu Yanqing, who wanted to resign from the post of Jiedushi of the Tianxiong Army on the grounds of his advanced age, returned home, and went to Luoyang Pension.

Shi Congyun didn't want to immediately agree to the father-in-law's request to go to Luoyang for the elderly, and reward him with [-] yuan and [-] pieces of silk.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Ji was added as the envoy of the Tianxiong Army, and he went to Hebei to take over the Tianxiong Army. He originally wanted to abolish the Tianxiong Army directly, but considering that he would also attack the Liao Kingdom in the future, and that the Tianxiong Army was strong and strong, it was possible to abolish it rashly. cause dissatisfaction and mutiny.

Beginning in mid-May, with Li Yun as an example, envoys from all walks of life arrived in Daliang one after another, obediently paying homage to the emperor
The wind and waves on the big river are rough, and it is raining heavily outside. Although the boat is not afraid of the rain, the limited sight on the river is still very dangerous.

The flickering candles in the cabin, listening to the constant sound of wind and rain, made one feel uneasy and unable to fall asleep.

Feng Yanlu didn't want to brave the rain and cross the river, but time waits for no one
At the end of April and the beginning of May, the news that Shi Congyun, the son of Qin, went on a personal expedition, killed Li Yun, destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, captured the Northern Han ruler, and defeated the Khitan reinforcements.

For a time, Jiangnan was terrified, the whole country was uneasy, and people were in panic. Everyone was talking about when the Northern Army would be strong and unstoppable, and when it would cross the Yangtze River.
But at the end of last year, the situation in the middle school happened to get worse.

Last winter, the lord was seriously ill, so Li Congjia, the sixth son, was made king of Wu and lived in the East Palace.

Zhong Mo, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, said that the sixth prince Li Congjia was frivolous and indulgent, and was not suitable to be a king. Please establish Ji Guogong Li Congshan.

The ruler of the country was furious, demoted Zhong Mo as the son of the state, and made Li Congjia the prince.

Shi Congyun, the lord of the Qin Kingdom, once sent someone across the Yangtze River to tell the lord that China and the south of the Yangtze River have been established. He worried that future generations would not be able to accommodate the Li family.

The lord then repaired the cities and planned to move the capital to Hongzhou to avoid the northern front. None of the ministers wanted to move, but Tang Hao, the privy envoy, agreed to move the capital.

So Hongzhou was promoted to Nanchang Prefecture, and the southern capital was built.

Last spring, the lord of the country left Prince Li Congjia to supervise the country, and moved to the southern capital by himself.

But Hongzhou is narrow, and the palaces and camps can't accommodate it. The officials think about returning day and night, and the king regrets and angers.Tang Hao was so ashamed and frightened that he became sick with fright, and soon died of fright.

In early summer and April of this year, the lord Li Jing died of illness. The sixth prince Li Congjia succeeded to the throne and changed his name to Li Yu. In the Han state in the north, the Qin army will turn their spearheads to the south.

So he was immediately sent as an envoy, first to represent the lord of the country to Beijing to meet the emperor, and to ask for the maintenance of the previous peace; second, to ask for the restoration of the title of emperor Li Jing.

But at this juncture, no matter what it is, it is very difficult, and Feng Yanlu has a headache. Fortunately, Chen Qiao and other ministers in the court finally gave him an idea.

I heard that Duke Zhou’s daughter, Zhou Xian, was very favored in the Qin State. She was named Concubine Shu and was one of the four concubines. If she followed her path, she might be able to get some help. After all, the Zhou family was from the south of the Yangtze River, and they were once husband and wife with the king. Maybe sell some favors.

Feng Yanlu also couldn't tell whether it was a good idea or a bad idea, but there was no solution, although the king's face was not good at the time, because Zhou was his old wife and was taken away by Shi Congyun, but in order to save his life He didn't care too much, and immediately issued an edict to let the people of the Zhou family follow him into Beijing to follow Concubine Shu's way.

The sound of the wind and waves outside the boat was endless, but Feng Yanlu's thoughts were extremely chaotic, and finally turned into a long sigh. When the soldiers were weak, they would beg for help in everything they did, and could not hold their heads up.

Feng Yanlu raised his hand to signal the waiter next to him: "There is no need to wait here, take care of the nobleman in the cabin next door, the success or failure of this trip, you and I are rich and honored by him."
