Chapter 112 Arrangements before returning to Beijing
After Xiang Xun left, Liu Chengyou was still sitting alone in the night pavilion. In the dark night, the breeze was blowing, the courtyard was deep, and the cicadas were chirping, making the scene even more peaceful.
Liu Chengyou's expression seemed very peaceful and indifferent. The series of complex emotions of anger, anxiety, and suspicion caused by the recent chaos in Guanzhong have slowly been eliminated.
During the exchange with Xiang Xun, and in the process of reporting on the affairs in the southwest, Liu Chengyou always silently observed Xiang Xun's performance. He was respectful, calm, humble, and abiding by his ministerial integrity, and did not become rampant because of the power he held. domineering.
Liu Chengyou admitted that he was paranoid. After relaxing his mind and analyzing it carefully, he would find that the military and political affairs in the southwest were far from being out of the control of the imperial court.
Xiang Xun was deployed as the capital. Although the governor had tens of thousands of troops in the southwest, judging from the distribution of troops, Qin, Long, Jing, and Wei had Wang Jing, and the rest were divided into a part of the Forbidden Army, Guanzhong border troops, and Huaiwei and Huaiwei. Germany and Shu armies.
Among the generals who commanded the army, there were Gao Huaide, Murong Chengtai, Liu Guangyi, Ma Renyu and other relatives and generals of the Qian Emperor, as well as middle and lower-level officers, as well as many military academies who had garrisoned in Tokyo.
As for the administration, Song Yanwo, the great Han consort, was still in charge, and most of the army's logistics supply was in the hands of Zhang Mei, the food envoy.
After careful analysis, all aspects of the military and political affairs in Southwest China are still very balanced. Even if Xiang Xun really has different intentions, there will not be many people who are willing to join the chaos or dare to join the chaos.
Moreover, as far as Xiang Xun's performance is concerned, Liu Chengyou feels that this king is still trustworthy, and he is still worthy of relying on his loyal minister, the general of Zhuguo, and the commander-in-chief of destroying Shu. And the reason why he has doubts is that, in the final analysis, Xiang Xun is outside. It's been too long, and it's inevitable that you'll become a little rusty. Time passes and people's hearts change.
However, because of this suspicion, Liu Chengyou actually felt a little guilty in his heart, but it passed away briefly. As a dictatorial feudal monarch, suspicion and caution were almost instincts that he had developed over the years.
While Liu Chengyou was meditating quietly at night, the place where Concubine Gao stayed was filled with laughter and laughter, and she was immersed in a warm atmosphere.
"Uncle!" Liu Xi jumped up to Gao Huaide and called excitedly.
Gao Huaide was also very happy. He stooped down and took it into his arms, weighed it, and a friendly smile appeared on his stern face: "It has grown a lot! It has also gained a lot of weight!"
"Don't be rude!" At this time, Concubine Gao scolded lightly, although she was smiling a little.
After being scolded by his mother, Liu Xi immediately slid off his uncle obediently and stood aside honestly. After touching his head, Gao Huaide sighed to the imperial concubine: "You are too harsh on Liu Xi!"
"The official also told me something similar!" The imperial concubine looked at her brother with her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her delicate lips curved: "This child is too undisciplined. How can he become a talent if he is not disciplined strictly?"
"Alas..." Gao Huaide couldn't help but sigh after hearing what he said.
Looking at her brother, Concubine Gao's expression became a little warmer, her eyebrows changed, revealing a bit of gorgeous charm, and she said with concern: "You stayed in the Southwest Army for two years, how are you?"
Gao Huaide discovered that this sister who originally needed the protection and support of him and his father had become more noble and heroic, and should not be underestimated. Under his gaze, he actually felt a little pressure.
He spread his hands slightly and replied: "I have been in the military since I was a child. Being in the army is like being at home. I don't have any discomfort!"
"But you, everything is fine in the palace!"
Faced with Gao Huaide's concern, the imperial concubine smiled: "I have been serving officials for almost ten years, and I am used to everything!"
Seeing that Concubine Gao remained calm and calm while talking, Gao Huaide couldn't help but feel a little wistful in his heart. He looked at Liu Xi who was standing aside, and then looked at his sister: "You are so strong!"
"In the deep palace, there are always undercurrents. You and I fight for each other. Everything revolves around the official family. The official family favors each other, and the concubines share the favor. Even if there is no fight, with the influence of the Gao family, in the end,
It is tabooed by others..." The imperial concubine spoke calmly.
Seeing this, Gao Huaide frowned slightly and said: "But the official side——"
"I have served the official for so many years, and I have a certain understanding of him. Therefore, I never go overboard, violate his taboos, or make him dissatisfied!" Concubine Gao said with a light smile, her voice pleasant to the ear.
Looking at Gao Huaide, he continued: "Now, everything is still peaceful! But ten years from now, twenty years from now, there will be some things that even the officials will not be able to control!"
After a moment of silence, Gao Huaide touched Liu Xi, who had clear and innocent eyes, and said, "No matter what, I am your brother! However, I also need to consider the entire Gao family!"
There was something in Gao Huaide's words. When Concubine Gao heard it, her phoenix eyebrows stretched more and more, and she smiled softly: "I understand! After all, it depends on Liu Xi's growth and performance, and the will of the official family..."
As she spoke, Concubine Gao deliberately changed the somewhat obscure and heavy topic and said: "My sister-in-law has passed away and my brother is still alone with no one to take care of him. It's time to consider remarrying! Do you want me to send someone to look for you?"
?”
Hearing this, Gao Huaide shook his head: "I have been in the army for the past two years, so I can't take care of it!"
In fact, there is no shortage of people to take care of Gao Huaide. He has many concubines and maids around him. If he wants to marry a real wife, it will inevitably be another political marriage...
Liu Chengyou stayed in Chang'an for nearly ten days. During this period, he had no time at all. There were too many things that he could pay close attention to: the political situation and people's livelihood in Guanzhong, the administration and punishment of officials, military affairs in the southwest, and border affairs in the northwest.

Until he was sent to Xungan, the southwestern general, Liu Chengyou also began to want to return eastward. At the same time, the imperial court's opinions on the aftermath of the Shu Rebellion were also presented to the emperor. Regarding the considerations of the ministers, Liu Chengyou did not have much opinion.
, basically approved.
In particular, the suggestion that the Shu prisoners move to the border areas was highly recognized by him, and he approved it directly. He also instructed Tokyo to send a team of capable officials to the west to be responsible for coordinating the local area and border states. When autumn comes, it will be a suitable time for migration.
season.
"Guo Tong, how long have you been in Chongzheng Palace?" Liu Chengyou looked at his uncle and asked after approving some important matters from Tokyo in the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
Guo Tong didn't know why, so he responded honestly: "Your Majesty, it's been about three years!"
"The time is not short!" Liu Chengyou nodded and looked at him: "Are you willing to go down below and take on some specific duties?"
The emperor had asked this question, so he must have his own ideas. Guo Tong was also smart and responded with his hands raised: "If your majesty has entrusted you with anything, I am willing to listen to the arrangements and have no shirking duty!"
"Okay!" Seeing his realization, Liu Chengyou was very satisfied and said, "How about I leave it to you to coordinate and implement the relocation of these Shu prisoners, no, these Shu Han people?"
After some consideration, Guo Tong replied in a positive tone: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
"The migration of nearly 30,000 people is not too much, but it is still a lot. The key is that they are scattered in various states and are affected by the previous chaos. People's hearts are inevitably uneasy. We need to put more thought and use our brains to publicize the imperial court's policies. policies to reassure them.
You must try your best to cooperate with local officials, communicate more, and pay attention to methods. You must consider the place you are moving to in advance. It is better to worry more than to worry less, and be fully prepared.
If you need enough money, food, tools, seeds, and horses for the migration, go to the transshipment envoy Yan Jinqing to collect it. The chief envoy Li Shaoyou will also try his best to support you..."
"In short, this is a detailed and time-consuming job. It is not easy. You have to be patient and don't be impatient! I believe in your ability!"
Hearing the emperor's words, which were both a reminder and encouragement, Guo Tong looked slightly happy and energetic, and said: "With your majesty's teachings, I will do my best to live up to my trust and implement the immigration affairs. Done properly!”
"Yeah!" Liu Chengyou nodded.
Glancing at the Jingzhao Mansion Office, Liu Chengyou suddenly asked Zhang Dejun: "What about Li Song now?"
"Go back to your majesty, and you will still be awaiting punishment in the palace!" Zhang Dejun said.
"Ha!" Liu Chengyou couldn't help but shook his head: "Do these literati like to do this to me? Are they pretending to be calm?"
"In that case, I will fulfill him! According to the edict, Li Song, the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, will serve as an official, and the judge Zhao Xiuji will take over!" Liu Chengyou ordered, paused, and then waved and added: "Zhao Hongyin, the commander of the Guanzhong capital, will return eastward with him. , the deputy envoy will act as the deputy for the time being!"
