Feng Dao was also surprised by Liu Chengyou's straightforwardness and decisiveness. How could this young emperor be so easy to persuade? He looked up and saw Liu Chengyou's calm expression, without even blinking. Feng Dao was also a little surprised, thinking that the emperor had already had a plan in mind. .
Sure enough, Liu Chengyou said calmly: "In the past two days, I have been in Luo Palace and heard about the heated public sentiment in Xijing. I have long wanted to stop."
"This time, I can invite you from Prime Minister Feng." Liu Chengyou said to Feng Dao with dignity.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Feng Dao bent over again.
The atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers was always quite harmonious. Liu Chengyou slowed down his steps, lingered for a while, raised his finger and said quietly: "Shi Qing is courageous in taking charge of the affairs. I have entrusted Shi Qing with full power to rectify the bad habits in Xijing. However, If you are too strong-willed and eager to kill, you may act inappropriately. It is my fault that you did not think carefully before making the appointment."
After listening to Liu Chengyou's words, Feng Daolao narrowed his eyes. The emperor's words are always worth savoring. Although Shi Hongzhao led the army in Xijing to show off his power in the past few days, I am afraid that the emperor is also dissatisfied with his style and methods.
There was a lot of mental activity, but Feng Dao couldn't see anything on his face. He continued: "Your Majesty said something serious!"
Liu Chengyou thought for a while, raised his finger and said: "The ministers in Xijing have been frightened these days. Feng Qing is highly respected and well-connected with people, so please comfort me. Tell the civil and military officials that Xijing will not be in chaos. , to make them feel at ease.”
"Yes!" Feng Dao obeyed.
After resigning, Feng Dao walked casually outside the palace. Feng Dao slightly hunched his body with a serious expression on his face. It was not until he left the imperial city and got into the car that he sighed: "This emperor is not easy to take care of... ..."
"This is not the purpose of the Western Inspection, right?" Feng Dao couldn't help but mutter, but after thinking about it, he secretly said: "If this is the case, the city of Tianzi will be even more shocking!"
On the surface, the turmoil in Tokyo was caused by Shi Hongzhao taking advantage of the king's orders to blindly expand, attack wantonly, and plunder property. However, Feng Dao's sophistication, combined with the situation in these days and the exchange with Liu Chengyou, he has completely understood that the entire turmoil The real manipulator behind the scenes is the young emperor who has been living in a deep palace recently.
Although the Wude Division established by the emperor has the reputation of being a personal follower, it is actually engaged in secret espionage. It is afraid that it only has a clear idea of the situation outside the palace and just sits back and observes its changes.
In the name of falsely investigating corruption and punishing evil, he attacked powerful right-wingers, occupied land and people, and established his authority. By the way, Shi and Su Erchen confronted each other. They took the opportunity to take down Su Fengji, a ruthless minister, and made Shi Hongzhao and Nawu Fu completely commit suicide in the court. .Now, at a time when people's hearts are at their most turbulent, an edict has been issued to put an end to the matter and soothe people's hearts.
Although this method of killing birds with one stone is still immature, if it is done as an emperor and controls the overall situation, the effect will definitely not be bad.
After thinking about this, even Feng Dao couldn't help but feel emotional. Of course, he seemed to have more confidence in the Han Dynasty. The emperor knew how to use means, which was not a bad thing in such a worldly situation.
And, while sighing, I couldn't help but start thinking about how to get along with this enterprising emperor in the days to come, and how to master the way of a monarch and his ministers. Any promising monarch is not easy to serve. The old fox has almost expected that now The Han Dynasty will go through a round of purges sooner or later, and Su Fengji's imprisonment is an obvious political signal.
In the upcoming changes in the court, he must consider how to protect himself. There is a basic principle: do it towards the emperor.
"Ms. sir, are you going back home?" the servant driving the carriage asked from the carriage.
After coming back to his senses, Feng Daocao gave instructions in a vigorous voice: "Go to Xijing Liushou Mansion. His illness should be cured!"
After the turmoil broke out in Xijing, Li Congmin stayed behind and reported illness at home.
The turmoil in Xijing finally ended due to Liu Chengyou's intervention. However, there was still an episode before the end. Shi Hongzhao seemed to be a little too excited and became addicted to checking. He actually obeyed Liu Chengyou's order and it was Liu Chengyou who ordered the seizure. His mission, to bring the troops back to camp, has just come to an end.
Liu Chengyou subsequently issued an "Edict of Anguan" and an "Edict of Anmin", mainly to digest the results. According to subsequent statistics, this time, a total of more than 20,000 people were released within the jurisdiction of Xijing, and the registered population increased by nearly 20,000. Success, this is what Liu Chengyou cares about most, so he issued strict orders and asked local officials to make proper arrangements.
As for other things such as money, grain, cloth, land, etc., although the amount is large, for today's imperial court, it is just a drop in the bucket, and Liu Chengyou is not particularly concerned about it. Su Fengji's contribution is not small.
After this attack, the evil trend in Xijing was suppressed. At least in a short period of time, all officials at the top and bottom knew that they had to restrain themselves.
Due to Liu Chengyou's edict, the officials and nobles felt at ease for the time being and no longer had to worry. However, many people "reflected" on this matter and felt very resentful in their hearts.
Basically, they all point to Shi Hongzhao. Looking at this matter, Shi Hongzhao is really a very qualified candidate to take the blame. His methods are rough and ruthless, and his appearance is very ugly. However, he is really full, rich and famous receive.
Of course, there are many smart people who can detect the evil hand behind it. But is it easy for the emperor to complain directly, especially to such an emperor?
After this incident, everyone in Xijing no longer dared to underestimate Liu Chengyou, the emperor.
On March 17, Liu Chengyou issued an edict prohibiting the buying and selling of human beings in all prefectures in the world. There were refugees who had settled in the government, but they were registered with the government, regardless of their past identities or crimes. Farm tools...
Liu Chengyou's edict was a bit harsh. In addition to continuing to seduce the bandits and bandits who fled into the mountains and forests, he also seduced those who had escaped from their households, as well as the hermit households who were attached to the rich and powerful. Positivity. The implicit meaning behind it is that as long as you defect to the government, you will be protected by the government, and you will have to get your own land and rebuild your home...
Of course, with the current situation of the Han Dynasty, it will always be difficult to implement it. However, it does not prevent Liu Chengyou from issuing the edict first. It will have some effect and gain some gains.
Let’s wait for another day.
On March 20th, Liu Chengyou, his queen, his concubine, and the officials from Xijing and the various governors of Guanyou who had come to Luoyang for an audience, went to the outskirts of Luoyang to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for the country and the people of the Han Dynasty.
After this show, Liu Chengyou's western tour is coming to an end.
However, before returning to the imperial court, there are still some important arrangements and adjustments for the lands in Guanzhong and Hezhong.
After arriving in Luoyang, Liu Chengyou sent an edict to Shaanxi, Hua, Tong, Jin, Jiang, Hezhong, and Heyang Jiedu to come and see him.
As a result, Li Shouzhen from Hezhong and Xue Huairang from Tongzhou could not resign. Liu Chengyou was not surprised by their reactions.
