Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 421 Liu Ren Willing to Return to Beijing

The matter of sending troops to attack Goguryeo was decided in this way, but the sending of troops was not a child's play. The mobilization of troops and horses, the logistics of food and grass, etc., all these preparations took time.

There is no such thing as a year or a half without sending troops to attack Goguryeo.

After the Baekje rebellion was put down, Baekje was severely damaged by wars and wars. Even the houses were mostly incomplete, and the bodies of the dead could be seen everywhere. Liu Rengui ordered the bones of the dead to be buried.

Order people to re-register the household registration of Baekje people, set up government offices to appoint officials, manage villages, build roads and bridges, repair embankments, restore ponds, and encourage Baekje people to farm and raise silkworms and other agricultural production.

Relief for the poor, support the widows and orphans, build the earth and valley altars of the Tang Dynasty for them, promulgate the Tang Dynasty calendar and the name taboo of the late emperor.

The people of Baekje are very happy because their lives are better, and everyone in the territory is safe.

Then Liu Rengui tried his best to manage the fields, store food, train soldiers, and prepare for further plots against Goguryeo.

Li Chengqian ordered Liu Rengui to guard Baekje, and all affairs were handed over to Liu Rengui. He called Sun Rengui and Liu Rengui to return to the court.

After the Battle of Baijiangkou, the Wa Kingdom was defeated and thoroughly learned the strength of the Tang Army. King Tianzhi of the Wa Kingdom was very frightened and often worried that the Tang Army would cross the sea and destroy his little Wa Kingdom.

Just at this time, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty arrived in the country of Wa and questioned the king of the country of Wa, and King Tianzhi had to bow his head and confess his guilt.

Therefore, at the suggestion of the minister, King Tianzhi sent Tang envoys and envoys to Tang Dynasty to apologize and learn the culture of Tang Dynasty.

In June, Daming Palace was completely completed, and Li Chengqian ordered to move from Taiji Palace to Daming Palace, calling Taiji Palace Xi Nei, and began to listen to government in Zichen Palace on the 25th.

"Your Majesty! General Zuo Xiaowei Liu Renyuan has returned to Chang'an." Wang Quan reported to Li Chengqian.

"Liu Ren wishes them to come back! Where are they now?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Liu Renyuan is waiting outside the hall, waiting for His Majesty to summon you." Wang Quan said.

"Then declare him in!" Li Chengqian said.

"Xuan Zuo Xiaowei General Liu Ren would like to see you!" Wang Quan took the order and turned around and shouted to the outside of the hall.

When Liu Renyuan heard the summons, he hurriedly adjusted his clothes, walked in, and after seeing Li Chengqian, he saluted and said, "My subject, Liu Renyuan, would like to pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Free of courtesy and flat body, give me a seat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Renyuan thanked En and stood up. The eunuch brought him a chair and put it aside for Liu Renyuan to sit on.

"This time you put down the Baekje rebellion, and you defeated the Japanese warriors who were several times as good as your own in the battle at Baijiangkou. One horse, your descendants will study in the Hongwen Library." Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" Liu Renyuan hastily got up and saluted and thanked him: "Your Majesty! This time, the Baekje rebellion and the Japanese warriors were defeated. This is not due to the merits of one person."

"Liu Rengui, the governor of Fangzhou, who was led by the school inspector, was able to put down the Baekje rebellion and defeat the Japanese warriors so smoothly. Liu Rengui deserves the first place."

"I am very happy that you can take the credit of others without taking credit for yourself!" Li Chengqian said.

"It's not the minister's credit, the minister dare not be greedy for credit!" Liu Ren said willingly.

"You are in Haidong, and you are a general, but the memorial documents written before and after are all in line with etiquette and elegant."

"I have seen your memorial papers before, but they are quite different from the ones you have written a few times, and they are not like what you can write."

"I'm very curious, how did you do it?" Li Chengqian asked.

This before and after comparison is simply the handwriting of two people.

However, by comparing the handwriting, it was all written by Liu Renyuan alone. Li Chengqian guessed that someone must have taught Liu Renyuan to write this way behind his back, and this person was probably Liu Rengui.

It's just that Li Chengqian can't be too sure.

"Your Majesty! These are not things that I can write, they are all written by the teaching minister Liu Rengui, and they are all done by Liu Rengui, not what I can do." Liu Ren wished.

He didn't dare to hide these things. Once found out, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and he would punish the nine clans.

What's more, it's just a trivial matter, and it can show your own integrity when you say it.

"Okay! I'm very pleased that you can tell the truth. I have long suspected that these memorial documents you presented were not from you, Liu Renyuan, but from someone else."

"Your words have confirmed my conjecture. This Liu Rengui is worthy of being a minister of my Tang Dynasty. He not only has outstanding literary talents, but also has the ability to be an official. It is really rare." Li Chengqian laughed.

"That's right! Mr. Liu in Baekje is not only strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, making the soldiers be convinced by him. He even has a way of governing the region and appeasing the people. The people of Baekje are also convinced by him." Liu Renyuan said , he admired Liu Rengui from the bottom of his heart.

"Wang Quan, pass an edict to promote Liu Rengui to the sixth rank of official rank, officially appoint Liu Rengui as the governor of Daifang Prefecture, and order the Ministry of Industry to build a residence for Liu Rengui in Chang'an."

"And he gave generous rewards to his wife and children, and allowed Liu Rengui's son to study in the Hongwen Library, where he could study with the descendants of meritorious officials and the royal family."

"And send envoys to Baekje with documents stamped with the emperor's seal to express condolences and commendation to Liu Rengui."

"In addition, I just got a mink robe recently, and I also took it to Baekje as a reward for Liu Rengui." Li Chengqian said.

"No! This servant will let someone do it!" Wang Quan crossed his hands and saluted.

Shangguanyi on the side hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Majesty! Since Liu Rengui was dismissed, he can be loyal to the imperial court, Liu Ren is willing to exercise restraint and can recommend talents, all of them can be called gentlemen."

"Shangguanyi is right, Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan are both gentlemen!" Li Chengqian laughed.

"Your Majesty! This time when I come back, Liu Rengui asked me to speak on his behalf as His Majesty." Liu Renyuan said.

"Oh! Tell me about Liu Rengui's request. As long as I can agree to it, I will not allow it." Li Chengqian said.

"Liu Renyuan said that now Baekje has just experienced the baptism of war, and it is officially a time when everything is waiting to be done, and people's hearts are moving."

"Liu Rengui was worried that he might not be able to appease the people of Baekje with his own efforts. Liu Rengui suggested that His Majesty appoint Fuyulong, the former prince of Baekje. If Fuyulong appeases the people of Baekje, he will get twice the result with half the effort and the people's hearts will be stable." Liu Renyuan said.

"Liu Rengui is right. In terms of familiarity with Baekje and the prestige in the hearts of the Baekje people, it must be the Buyeo royal family. Then appoint Fuyulong as the governor of Xiongjin." Li Chengqian said.

After such a long time of nurturing in Chang'an, Fu Yulong was already very close to Datang, and after a while, he would be able to become a thoroughly pro-Tang member, vowing to devote himself to Datang to the end of his life.
