It was the farming season, and farmers were plowing the vast acres of fields under the spring sun. On the left side of the road, the imperial driver returning to Beijing stopped temporarily. Under the cover of two servants holding the yellow silk, Liu Chengyou unbuttoned his trousers and began to drain the water. .

The slightly yellow water column looked delicate and drew a beautiful arc. It exuded heat and washed away a piece of soil. The sound of "swishing" was very powerful, and Liu Chengyou's face also showed a happy and relieved expression.
After shaking the bird and putting it away in the cage, Liu Chengyou looked around. The plain fields were arranged in an orderly manner. The ditches around him had obviously been repaired and had accumulated water. The scene in front of him made him feel a little more happy.
"You, go and call that farmer over, I want to ask a question!" Liu Chengyou ordered a eunuch beside him, not forgetting to tell him: "Be polite to me!"
"yes!"
Following the order, the eunuch went away, and almost under Liu Chengyou's watchful eyes, he called the anxious old farmer to him to inquire about the farming affairs. What Liu Chengyou asked were all trivial matters, and he wanted to look at them from the side. , he was very satisfied with the results of the local government's governance.
"You can get the whole picture at a glance, just by not missing the farming season and the reputation among the people here, you can see that Lu Zhizhou lives up to the rumors, and the official examination is indeed true!" Liu Chengyou said with emotion.
The imperial commander's residence was Puzhou, and the governor's name was Lu Yin, with the courtesy name Yuqing. After the Puzhou case in the fourth year of Emperor Qianyou's reign, he was recommended by Guo Rong and promoted directly from an ordinary state official to a governor. He was young and well-known. , he has been in office for two years, and his political performance and official reputation are both good.
Yesterday, Liu Chengyou also met with Lu Yin specially. After some questioning, he found that Jian was in the emperor's heart and her promotion was not far away.
"Let's go!" After giving the order, Liu Chengyou stepped on the low stool and climbed onto the carriage.
Concubine Shu, Miss Zhou, was leaning in the spacious carriage. Her beautiful eyes were looking at the scenery outside through the gap in the curtains. She exuded an elegant temperament and looked well-behaved.
Seeing Liu Chengyou enter, he immediately moved his delicate body and took off Liu Chengyou's boots that were stained with spring mud and maybe even a little urine.
"I'm a little tired, give me a squeeze!" Liu Chengyou said calmly, then lay down with his head resting on the young lady's thigh.
The concubines of the Han Palace have basically mastered the technique of massaging with one hand, because the emperor likes it. Mrs. Zhou's skills obviously need to be improved, but the softness of her little hands is still worth enjoying. Maybe she was tired and fell asleep unconsciously. Already.
When Liu Chengyou woke up quietly, there was a faint fragrance lingering in his nose. When he opened his eyes, he found that the young lady was stroking his face with one hand and holding a book in the other hand, reading intently.
He moved his head, startling the little lady, and shouted softly: "Guanjia!"
Responding softly, Liu Chengyou took his jade hand, stroked the delicate skin, feeling the softness and tenderness conveyed, and said: "Use your harp-playing hands to pinch my shoulders and beat my legs, just like burning Playing a harp and boiling a crane is such a waste of natural resources!"
Mrs. Zhou put away the scroll and replied timidly: "Serving the officials is what I am supposed to do. I'm afraid that if I don't control my strength well, it will be difficult to alleviate the fatigue of the officials!"
Liu Chengyou smiled slightly and glanced at the book in his hand, which was the "Records of the Young Emperors of Jin" newly presented by Su Yugui. Speaking of the Young Emperor of Jin Shi Chonggui, he was returned to the Central Plains by the Khitans the year before last. Liu Chengyou personally summoned him after returning to the court, and he was very worried. For This last emperor, Liu Chengyou, seemed to be very tolerant and good at appeasing him. He was granted the title of Duke and moved to Luoyang, where he became neighbors with Li Congyi, Duke of Xi.
When talking about Li Congyi, we have to mention his mother, Wang Shufei. Although she is shy and is known as "the most beautiful woman in the Five Generations", she is an old woman in her fifties and sixties after all...
"In the past six months, I have neglected you! I have wronged you!" Liu Chengyou said to Mrs. Zhou in a gentle tone.
The soft words made the waiting lady Zhou stunned for a moment, and she was a little stunned when she met Liu Chengyou's loving eyes. The last time the emperor treated her so tenderly and considerately was when he first entered the palace.
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Zhou responded in a low voice: "The official family is a sage who is the master of the Ming Dynasty. He works hard and sleeps early and sleeps late at night. He works hard for the well-being of the people in the world. It is understandable that he has no time for other things. It is enough for me to be able to stand on the palace platform, leaning against the door and looking up, so how can I talk about grievances?"
Hearing what he said, Liu Chengyou was happy. He stood up and looked at the beautiful young lady and said, "What you said is not only complimenting me, but also complaining to me!"
The young lady lowered her head subconsciously and said softly: "I don't dare!"
At this time, Liu Chengyou's temper was rising. As the young lady called softly, his hands reached up to his waist, and he suddenly exerted force to pull her into his arms. He put his mouth against her beautiful ear and said ambiguously: "I will do it in the future." , I will go to Shulan Hall more often!"
Feeling her actions and hearing her words, her fair cheeks gradually turned a bright red. Madam Zhou's bright eyes seemed to contain spring water, becoming more and more charming as she said, "Thank you, Guanjia!"
"I heard that you have composed a new music and dance. When you return to the palace, dance it to me..."
"yes......"
While whispering, his ears and temples were rubbing against each other, Liu Chengyou's hands became restless, tugging at the girl's heartstrings, and pressed forward with his body, and then...
By the time Liu Chengyou visited Tokyo, it was already mid-spring. He did not ask his concubines or officials to greet him, but just quietly entered the city and returned to the palace. The first thing he did after returning to the palace was to distribute some folk utensils purchased in Daming Mansion as gifts. To the Queen Mother and the concubines of the palace. Liu Chengyou guessed that during this tour, he would be jealous of the beautiful concubines and they would need to be comforted.
"Zhao Yao!" Returning to the main hall, Liu Chengyou summoned Zhao Yao, one of the five-year-old Chongzheng ministers.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Staring at him, thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou said: "From today on, you will be the foreman of the Chongzheng Hall, serving as lecturers, reading companions, and sorting out secrets!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yao was greatly surprised, but he immediately responded: "I have little talent and little virtue, and I am new to officialdom. I really don't dare to take on such an important task. Your Majesty, please recruit more talented people!"
Liu Chengyou was also a little surprised. If it had been anyone else, he would have been so excited that he would have bowed down and thanked him. He couldn't help but look at him carefully. He was very young, with a face as beautiful as a jade tree. In terms of appearance, Liu Chengyou was the perfect match. There's no comparison.
He asked a little curiously: "This position and this responsibility are something no one else can aspire to! I value you so much, why do you avoid it?"
"Your Majesty, I have self-awareness, and I have confidence in writing, but I want to help with government affairs and handle confidential matters. I have no experience and no knowledge. I have no regrets about my honor and disgrace. I only worry about official duties!" Zhao Yao bowed and responded.
"Furthermore, among the Chongzheng doctors, there are many advanced and talented people. Among them, I am a latecomer and a low-level scholar. How can I be convinced?" Zhao Huo said again: "But I am young and it is really difficult for me to bear the heavy responsibility!"
Listening to his words, Liu Chengyou probably understood his concerns, and couldn't help but wonder why he was so cautious at such an age. Could it be that he learned it from his father?
He couldn't help but smile and asked: "Who do you think can be promoted?"
As if he didn't notice the emperor's cold tone, Zhao Yao replied: "Others dare not judge. Dong Lang, the number one scholar last year, is more talented and knowledgeable than all the ministers!"
"Dong Chun, you are too busy with the scholarly business and can't take care of the secular affairs for the time being!" As he said that, Liu Chengyou stared at Zhao Yao with a cold gaze: "No one is born knowing this. I am asking you to take responsibility because you have this potential and no experience. Doesn’t this allow you to hone and accumulate?”
Finally feeling the change in the emperor's tone, Zhao Yao could not help but tremble and lowered his head.
"If we talk about age, who among Wang Pu, Wang Zhu and Li Fang was not a young man?" Liu Chengyou looked at Zhao Yao: "If you dare to refuse again, you will no longer be in Tokyo!"
"I don't dare!" Zhao Yao was startled and prostrated: "I thank you!"
Today, Tanhua Lang finally experienced the tension of "accompanying a king like a tiger." The emperor wanted to reward him with favors and promotions, but he was just being humble, but he almost offended the emperor...
Seeing his expression of admiration, Liu Chengyou's expression softened, he regained his composure, and said, "Go ahead and sort out the memorials and essays approved by the Political Affairs Hall after I left the capital. I want to review them!"
