The decorations of the Jiedu government office in Changshe County are extremely gorgeous. Even if the people are poor, a nobleman like Liu Xin will never reduce his luxury. It can be said that when he followed Liu Zhiyuan to conquer the world, Liu Xin could endure hardships.
, but since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the rate of decline has been truly alarming.
In early spring, the weather is getting warmer, the breeze is gentle, and the warm spring scenery can easily bring people a good mood. At this moment, Liu Xin was in a particularly good mood.
Above the green hall, between the curtains, Liu Xin was gathering his staff, holding a banquet, singing and dancing, and drinking and drinking. The staff below were all welcoming and flattering. Liu Xin's behavior
We are all accustomed to the style of work. If we disagree even slightly, we will be beaten and punished. The bones of tough people have been broken...
After this period of time, the soldiers who were dispatched came back one after another and gained a lot of money and silk. The money and silk they obtained were worth tens of millions. The private treasury became richer. Liu Xin was very proud.
"Judge Wu, are you ready with the gifts I asked you to prepare?" Liu Xin asked a middle-aged official while taking advantage of the break from dancing.
"Uncle Emperor, everything has been prepared. We are just waiting for the emperor to pass by!" Judge Wu replied, looking very respectful.
"Okay!" Liu Xin chuckled: "Come on, let's drink!"
After the banquet, Liu Xin was drunk and helped back to the inner house by his trusted old servant.
"Uncle Emperor... I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not!"
"Speak directly if you have something to say!" Seeing him hesitating, Liu Xin glared and said impatiently.
"Is it inappropriate for the late emperor Zi Palace to have such a big banquet in Xuzhou?" The old servant has obviously been following Liu Xin for many years. Ordinary people would not dare to give any advice on Liu Xin's actions.
Even so, Liu Xin couldn't help but scold him: "People still eat funeral banquets and drink funeral wine when someone dies. It's been a year since the late emperor passed away, so it doesn't matter if I drink some wine."
After hearing the rebuke, the old servant's face became even more worried, and he said: "During this period, you have sent troops to raid and raid, and you have sent troops from all walks of life to disturb the people too much. Now, there is widespread resentment among the people in the counties..."
"Old Yangtou, why are you talking so much today?" Liu Xin was dissatisfied, and the smell of alcohol sprayed directly on the old servant's face: "A little public grievance is nothing, do you still dare to rebel?"
"Uncle Emperor, this old servant is afraid that this matter will reach the ears of the Emperor." The old servant expressed his concern.
Hearing this, Liu Xin finally sobered up from his drunkenness, frowned, and seemed to be afraid. But soon, the worry faded away, and he smiled casually: "I am here to show my loyalty and filial piety to the late emperor. What can he say?"
?Furthermore, I am his imperial uncle, and he has already demoted me out of Tokyo. What else does he want?"
"Okay, you old man, please stop nagging in my ears. Go and pick some rare things from the storehouse and present them to my nephew then, okay..." Liu Xin waved his hand and gave an order,
He returned to the inner court to communicate with Duke Zhou.
...
For the time being, Liu Chengyou had no detailed information about the turmoil in Xuzhou. He, together with the Queen Mother and hundreds of officials, escorted the Zi Palace of the great ancestor Liu Zhiyuan, and were on the official road from Kaifeng south to Xuzhou. There were white flags, mourning and music, and cars flowing like water.
, with great momentum.
The cavalry army clears the way in front, and the Longqi Army Palace protects the rear. The people protecting the mausoleum this time are all the forbidden troops of the army in front of the palace. The ones guarding the middle section are the only army that is independent from the front of the palace and guards the two divisions - —Feng Chenjun.
This was adapted from the original palace guard crane army. When it was in Jinyang, it was an elite division selected and built by Liu Chengyou himself. In the previous reorganization, it was expanded and its military strength grew to more than 7,000. Those who specialize in palace guards are the true royal guards.
This time he went south, half of the imperial court accompanied him. Of course, Xuzhou was in Kinki, so the risk was not great. Even so, Liu Chengyou also made proper arrangements in Tokyo. Wang Zhang, Feng Dao, Wang Jun and other ministers controlled the imperial court. In addition, generals such as Li Hongxin, Bai Wenke, and Han Tong were in charge of the army to maintain checks and balances.
In the solemn atmosphere, the team did not move very fast, only traveling at a speed of more than forty miles a day. It took four days to slowly move to Xuzhou.
Although he was on the way, Liu Chengyou's journey was not much different from when he was in Tokyo. He met with civil and military officials and dealt with state affairs without any slack. He studied and practiced martial arts as usual, and even if he wanted to, he could summon people to accompany him. The Queen and the Concubine are sleeping...
I took a nap in the afternoon. When I woke up, I felt that the sky was getting dark, so I called out: "Zhang Dejun."
The servant was obviously waiting all the time. As soon as he finished speaking, he answered: "What are the orders from the official?"
"Pass on Xiang Xun!"
"yes!"

Xiang Xun was the commander of the Fengchen Army. This time he accompanied the army south and was appointed by Liu Chengyou to conduct camp deployment.
Feeling bored in the carriage, Liu Chengyou leaned out and leaned on the shaft wood. Sitting next to him like this, the emperor clearly noticed that the body of the officer driving the carriage became tense and he looked particularly cautious.
Soon, Xiang Xun drove his horse to the front of the imperial court. He wanted to dismount and follow him on foot, but Liu Chengyou waved his hand to stop him.
"Are we almost reaching Changge County?" Liu Chengyou asked.
"Your Majesty, after crossing the River, we are already in Changge County. Five miles to the west is the county seat!" Xiang Xun replied smoothly: "Your Majesty, the sky is getting dark. Do you want to stay at Changge County?"
Liu Chengyou looked at the dim sunset and ordered: "Go ahead and make arrangements. We will camp in Changge City tonight, then head west tomorrow, and arrive at Ruiling the day after!"
"Yes!" Xiang Xun rode away.
Liu Zhiyuan's Ruiling Mausoleum was built in Yangzhai County, Xuzhou.
In good spirits, Liu Chengyou got out of the car and went to greet the Empress Dowager Li. He was in the palace, but he was so exhausted from the carriage that Liu Chengyou was really afraid that Li's body would not be able to bear it.
Facts have proved that Liu Chengyou's concerns were unnecessary. Mrs. Li was in good spirits, and her two daughters-in-law were diligently accompanying her, chatting with her and relieving her fatigue during the journey.
His eyes wandered around Da Fu and Gao. Liu Chengyou pretended not to know about the increasingly antagonistic behavior between the two and joined in the chat calmly.
Arriving at the side of Changge County, the camp had already been set up. It was not because of Xiang Xun's high efficiency, but because Liu Xin sent troops to recruit more than 2,000 men and specially arranged them. He also led Xuzhou's generals to personally greet them.
Although he was very dissatisfied with Liu Chengyou from the bottom of his heart, he still did a good job with his superficial skills and was sincere. He probably felt that everything was done "properly" and Liu Chengyou had nothing to say.
However, Liu Chengyou did not say much as he looked at the enslaved people. He only arranged for the Zi Palace, ministers and guards to move in.
In the imperial camp, Liu Chengyou and the Li family met with Liu Xin. They were both imperial uncles and direct relatives of the royal family. It could be felt that the disharmonious relationship between the uncle and nephew was somewhat relaxed by the Li family.
However, in the tent, when Liu Xin smiled and presented a whole box of jewelry and treasures to the Queen Mother, he sang a song of praise and revealed how much effort he had put into collecting these tributes...
