In the end, the appointment of the governor of Puzhou was successfully decided. With Zhao Pu'an's support, it was obviously not a big problem. It was Zhao Pu. The former mentioned it and the matter was decided the next day. Of course, there was also the appointment of Puzhou.
Whatever remains undecided needs to be decided.
When Pan You got his wish, he didn't worry so much. He happily took the official documents and patted Ma Dongchu, and went to Puzhou to take up his post. It obviously gave people a feeling of being freed from the constraints. Of course, maybe other people's attitudes were also happy.
See this.
The number of people in the Zhongshu room was rated at four. Once Pan You left, a position was immediately vacated. Zhao Pu lost a wing that could attract firepower, and at the same time, the overall appearance level of the court could be improved.
Before setting off, Emperor Liu still had a private interview with Pan You. Although there were many things about this person that made him unpopular with Emperor Liu, but excluding some prejudice factors, he found that Pan You was not as hateful as he looked.
Of course, Emperor Liu only gave some superficial instructions to express his expectations for Pan You and his care for the officials and people of Puzhou. Pan You, on the other hand, looked grateful for the saint's grace and issued a military order in front of the palace, saying that Puzhou
If he cannot achieve great governance within three years, he will ask to abdicate in favor of someone more powerful and be imprisoned to face charges.
His words were intense and left no room for himself, which was in line with his character. His decisive expression even almost amused Emperor Liu.
What Pan You didn't know was that Zhao Pu had reported the appointment of Puzhou to Emperor Liu in advance, and only issued the order after getting Emperor Liu's approval. Even though it was just a mere post of governor of the state, Zhao Pu was still considerate and informed Emperor Liu first.
Ask for instructions.
Emperor Liu asked: It is enough to master the imperial edicts and order, but can Pan You be qualified to handle the civil affairs of a state? Obviously, Emperor Liu still has doubts about Pan You's actual ability to govern. After all, he can talk loudly and discuss current affairs.
Those who do not necessarily have much ability in actually handling government affairs.
Emperor Liu sometimes had trouble escaping the influence of his inherent impression. In his opinion, Pan You might only be suitable for casual conversation. However, Zhao Pu's face had to be given, so that Pan You's appointment in Puzhou could truly be unimpeded.
Emperor Liu's days in Kaifeng ended up being pampered. Of course, he did not confine himself within the palace walls of Tokyo. He liked to travel, tour Tokyo, and see all the beauty, although he did so under the guise of "understanding the sentiments of the people."
, but does not conceal the essence of play.
The purpose of letting Zhao Pu accompany the driver to relax and unwind was not achieved. Along the way, in addition to accompanying the driver at all times, Zhao Pu was basically immersed in various affairs. When he arrived in Kaifeng, he spent most of his time in Guangzheng Hall.
Emperor Liu did not force anything, and Zhao Pu was willing to work hard. The monarch and his ministers each took care of their own affairs, but they complemented each other. It must be said that having a prime minister like Zhao Pu help handle state affairs was very friendly to the emperor, at least.
Get rid of the burden of those tedious mundane tasks.
The former Emperor Liu was certainly a model of diligence, but after so many years, if he were to return to the same intensity of work as before, it would be difficult for him to persist even for half a month.
Zhao Pu could be regarded as sharing the unnecessary burdens and burdens for Emperor Liu, but he was happy with it, which is the embodiment of his value as a prime minister.
There is no doubt about Zhao Pu's ability. No matter how trivial things are, it is difficult to upset him, no matter how heavy the responsibility is, it is difficult to overwhelm him, and no matter how difficult the problem is, he can always come up with solutions.
If you give him enough trust and a stage, you can restore Emperor Liu's world and enjoy peace. Although there is some suspicion of flattery, Emperor Liu's personal opinion is that among all the previous prime ministers, Zhao Pu is the one who suits him best.
Of course, this does not mean that the other prime ministers are not as good as Zhao Pu. It is just that due to fate, the national situation and the situation of the country, including Emperor Liu, are changing. Although Zhao Pu is not a perfect person, he is in charge of the government, and Emperor Liu does not have to worry too much.
However, Mr. Zhao, who was never in trouble, would eventually encounter difficulties, and there would always be some things that made him hesitate.
The large public case was piled with memorials and regulations, one of which showed obvious signs of being read, and was spread out quietly. Zhao Pu was leaning on the table, slightly confused.
The memorial came from Yanzhou and was submitted by Zhang Qixian of the Yanzhou Prefecture. The content described the local disaster relief situation in Yanzhou. Of course, if it was just the disaster, it would not make Zhao Pu show such contemplation.
In the past floods that swept the entire Central Plains, Yanzhou, located in the hinterland of Henan, was naturally among the victims. However, compared to the areas along the river, the situation in Yanzhou was relatively good. The main disasters suffered were rain disasters, but
The losses were also considerable. In the summer tax statistics that have ended, the output of Yanzhou's fields still dropped sharply.
Coupled with Zhang Qixian's effective response, so far, while the epidemic is still raging in Chanzhou and Damingfu, Yanzhou is in peace and has entered the track of recuperation and recovery.
What made Zhao Pu hesitate was those two words: Feng Chan.
The main purpose of sending Zhang Qixian to Yanzhou was to prepare for Emperor Liu's conferment ceremony. To this end, Zhao Pu also gave Zhang Qixian some face-to-face advice.
According to the original plan, Zhang Qixian had about a year to make preparations in Yanzhou. In the spring of the 11th year of Kaibao, the imperial commander could patrol eastward and head to Mount Tai.
After arriving in Yanzhou, Zhang Qixian also quickly started work, recruiting people, opening mountain roads, and building sacrificial altars. This waste of people and money always takes time, and Zhang Qixian is not eager for quick success. Everything is carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the sudden disaster almost brought Yanzhou's preparations for Fengchan to a complete standstill.
Even with his mission, Zhang Qixian's main energy has been spent on disaster relief and protecting people in the past few months. Until now, the situation in the state has improved, and the delayed preparations for the ceremony have been put on the agenda again.
Zhang Qixian's request for instructions has come. Although the words in the memorial are a bit vague, the meaning is clear, that is, whether to continue preparations.
The matter of Feng Chan was not announced to the world. All of this was prepared through Emperor Liu's ambiguous performance and through thoughtful ministers such as Zhao Pu.
If there are no accidents, we will wait for the auspicious signs to appear in various places in the Han Dynasty. Officials and people at home and abroad will actively request orders. Emperor Liu, with the support of everyone, will issue an edict to enshrine him.
But something unexpected happened. In the face of a major disaster that only happened once in twenty years, it seemed a bit inappropriate for Emperor Liu to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and to lay down stones to describe his merits.
Zhang Qixian's memorial has two meanings. First, whether the plan to enshrine Zen is proceeding as scheduled; second, if it continues to progress, then he will ask for the support of the imperial court. Given the current situation in the state, the people, financial and material resources close to Yanzhou are far away.
Insufficient.
It was precisely because of Zhao Pu's insight into what he meant that he felt the embarrassment, and the stakes involved were worthy of more consideration. They realized what he meant and started preparations. Now that such twists and turns have occurred, it is also worth thinking about how to proceed next.
Discuss.
Sometimes, good things can turn into bad things, and merit can turn into sins, especially when the emperor's reputation is at stake.
After careful consideration and putting away the memorial, Zhao Pu decided to have some more communication with Emperor Liu on this matter. For this kind of matter and this kind of situation, Emperor Liu must be asked to clarify his holy intention and stop being ambiguous.
But Zhao Pu only hoped that when this matter was mentioned, Emperor Liu would not pretend to ask about it, but express surprise by asking knowingly...
