"Your Majesty, Yongxing, Jingnan, Baoyi, Heyang, Weisheng, Pinglu, Yiwu, Henghai and all the other districts are all here. Now Xiangzhou, Yanzhou, Beizhou, Caizhou and other prefectures and towns have successively submitted petitions. From now on, the Han Dynasty will no longer have to worry about Fang Zhen!" Zhao Yao put away the memorials that Liu Chengyou had reviewed and said lightly.
This time, Xiangzhou, Yanzhou, Beizhou and other towns submitted their resignations one after another. The situation during the Jiaqing Festival has obviously spread, and the towns that have been relieved of their power have also made appropriate arrangements, or for In politics or in the military, there was no single-minded effort to force people to return to their hometowns. The most active and pioneering person was Xiangzhou Jiedu Guo Wei.
After reading Guo Weiwei's memorial, Liu Chengyou's face showed a little joy unconsciously. It seemed that Guo Wei was going farther and farther and wider on the road of great loyalty.
Although a letter of resignation was very gratifying, Liu Chengyou still remained calm and said: "This is just the beginning and represents the attitude of the local vassal and town. However, what is more important is the subsequent implementation. When the military and political affairs are completely separated, you can express your congratulations to me again." Bar!"
"Yes!" Hearing this, Zhao Yao put away his smile, raised his hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is calm and calm, and I admire you greatly!"
After hearing this compliment, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yao, and saw him waiting there with a humble and submissive posture. He twitched the corner of his mouth, and Liu Chengyou ordered: "All requests from the governors and defenses will be accepted! Go to the political hall. , the Ministry of Personnel and the Privy Council, follow the previous rules and make proper arrangements for military and political officials in various places to ensure a smooth transition of military and political affairs!"
"Yes!" Zhao Wei carefully wrote down the emperor's instructions.
"In addition, the only one left now is Shuofang Jiedushi Shi Hongzhao, who has not yet appeared on the list!" Zhao Yao added.
His eyebrows were lightly condensed and then relaxed, Liu Chengyou said: "Shuofang is far away, far to the northwest, and transportation is inconvenient. Moreover, the situation in the border area of Lingzhou is complicated. It is not like the town in Fu Neizhou, but it is not urgent either!"
He pondered for a while and then said: "However, even if it is a border area, it is also under the rule of the Han Dynasty. In the future, even if it is not the heart of the heart, it will be in the arms, and the military and political arrangements should also be based on their control. In the staff department, first arrange some young officials , went to Lingzhou to take up a post and assist in the management of civil affairs."
At this point, Liu Chengyou lost his mind and added: "Also, from now on, officials from remote states like Lingzhou will be given priority in the imperial examination!"
Looking up, Zhao Yao still looked calm and agreed meticulously.
Liu Chengyou asked: "Is there a chapter in the Privy Council regarding the reorganization of the Northern Army?"
"Back to Your Majesty!" Zhao Yue said: "The Duke of Chenliu and the two ministers Li and Pan have already begun to reorganize and train. With the support of Hebei in terms of grain and grain, the suppression of soldiers by military envoys, and your Majesty's edict, even if there are troubles, there will be no worries. In addition, The imperial troops transferred to the north for defense change have already been mobilized and set off!"
"Yes!" Liu Chengyou nodded in agreement and ordered: "We should pay special attention to this matter, but if there is any news, report it to me!"
"yes!"
After asking about military affairs, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but cast his eyes on Zhao Yao and asked him in a questioning tone: "Zhao Yao, I am confused, and I hope you can clear it up!"
There was a hint of scrutiny in the emperor's eyes, and Zhao Yao was startled. His face was respectful, and he bowed: "Excuse me, Your Majesty!"
"Given your age, it is certainly gratifying that you are so calm and solemn and considerate in everything you do. However, I always feel that you seem to be too cautious, especially towards me, you are a little too respectful. I am very curious as to what makes you so Being cautious and walking on thin ice?"
Hearing this question, Zhao Ye's expression became more serious, his back bowed deeper, and he said: "Before I became an official, I was just a scholar, with little knowledge and insufficient ability. However, after several lifetimes of practicing meritorious deeds, I gained your Majesty's trust and was selected as the official. A scholar who respected politics accepted the decree, but his virtue was not worthy of his position, so he was the minister. The minister was both grateful and frightened.
All ministers are responsible for state affairs, and we dare not make any mistakes or omissions. In order to avoid betraying your majesty's trust and trust, I have to be cautious in everything..."
Hearing his statement, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but smile, with a somewhat unpredictable look in his eyes. Liu Chengyou believed Zhao Yao's words, but he could also feel that he still had reservations in his heart.
But he did not force him too much. Liu Chengyou withdrew his gaze and said loudly: "I have heard that your father, Mr. Zhao, is sometimes dissolute. In this regard, you should learn from him and be cautious and conscientious. Of course it is commendable. But don’t be too nervous. After all, I am not a tiger and a bear, and I won’t eat you!”
"Your Majesty's teachings, I will take them to heart!" Zhao Yan said respectfully, and then returned to his original appearance.
Seeing this, Liu Chengyou shook his head and asked: "I heard that you are ill, how are you?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!" Zhao Yao responded with a flattered look: "It was just a minor illness, but after taking medicine, it has recovered!"
"Your brother died young and you are now an only son. In addition to fulfilling your duties and being loyal, you also need to be filial and supportive. You should take care of your health!" Liu Chengyou said.
Zhao Yao's eyes revealed a touch of emotion: "Yes!"
"Stay back!"
He asked Zhang Dejun to squeeze his shoulders to relieve his fatigue, and then stood up and walked to the map. It was almost summer, the weather was good, and the bright sunshine shone into the palace through the doors and windows, and fell on Liu Chengyou, warming his body and mind.
As for Liu Chengyou, it was only two and a quarter hours since he stopped, and his gaze was naturally at the land of Qinfeng. Last year, if it weren't for the successive disasters in the autumn, Liu Chengyou would have started in the southwest. Up to now, the delay has been almost a quarter of an hour. Years of time, however, also gave Han Ting more time to prepare.
At this time, the military and political order in the Han Dynasty had also achieved great results, and Liu Chengyou could not resist the urge to mobilize troops.
"Zhang Dejun!"
"Young man, what are your orders from the officials?"
"In the afternoon, the ministers, the chief ministers of each ministry, and the generals of the two departments will discuss matters in Chongzheng Hall!" Liu Chengyou said calmly.
In the afternoon, in the Chongzheng Hall, dozens of civil and military officials gathered together. The most powerful people in the Han Dynasty stood respectfully in front of the emperor. Liu Chengyou sat high on the case, glanced around, and said: "I have summoned all the civil and military officials here. , some people have guessed the purpose. Taking advantage of the national crisis in the Central Plains, the Meng clan brazenly sent troops to invade and occupy the four states of Qin and Feng. They have occupied our land for a long time, and now that we have made proper preparations, I plan to send troops to attack Shu. Today, we are here in this palace. Let’s discuss the matter of sending troops!”
Liu Chengyou's words set the tone of this palace discussion. In fact, the civil and military ministers of the Han Dynasty were not surprised by this. They had expected it and no one expressed any objection.
With the top and bottom working together, they quickly planned the time for the expedition to Shu, the mobilization of troops and horses, and the procurement and transfer of grain and equipment. As for the commander of the expedition to Shu, there were some objections. The veterans preferred Wang Jing for various reasons, and Liu Chengyou also There was a moment of wavering, but in the end he strengthened his determination and chose to support Xiang Xun.
In the seventh year of Emperor Qianyou's reign, after the beginning of summer, a large number of forbidden troops, food, clothing, and ordnance were sent in batches on the official road from Tokyo to Fengxiang, making final preparations for the conquest of Shu.

...
Behind the palace, Meng Chang, Lord of Shu, was enjoying the coolness in the Maha Pond. He was still accompanied by his Lady Hua Rui, feeding melons and fruits, and gently shaking the fan. However, it was difficult to explain Meng Chang's heat, and there were ice cubes placed around him several times.
Meng Chang didn't like summer because the heat was unbearable. At this time, he was undressed and exposed his breasts. He looked at Concubine Xu Hui in a thin shirt next to him. He was panting a little and said: "This scorching heat is really annoying and it is difficult to sleep on it. Madam, you How about I build a palace on the Maha Pond so that we can relax and enjoy the cool weather in the future?"
"This." Xu Huifei showed a little hesitation between her bright eyes and white teeth, and whispered: "I heard that there may be war in the north, the country is in emergency, and the husband is in the palace, so it is inconvenient to build this project..."
"Hey!" Meng Chang waved his hand and said: "They always say that the Northern Han Dynasty is going to invade. They have been shouting for two years and still no troops have been mobilized. The ministers have become frightened. If the Han army makes any movement, they will do something big. Furthermore, The imperial court has deployed so many troops and horses in Qinfeng and Xingyuan Mansion, and there are dangerous mountains and rivers, so there is nothing to worry about!"
After Meng Chang finished speaking, he discussed the requirements that the palace must meet...
"Your Majesty, the ministers want to see you!" The chamberlain came to inform: "I have something important to report!"
After being forcibly dragged out of the gentle village, Meng Chang met his officials a little unhappy and asked: "What's the urgent matter? The Northern Han Dynasty has mobilized troops again?"
"Your Majesty! The Northern Han Dynasty has officially sent out troops!" Privy Councilor Wang Zhaoyuan nodded and replied.
