Compared with spending the night in the cities along the road, Liu Chengyou stayed in Yedu for three full days. During these three days, Liu Chengyou inspected Yedu, this great city in Hebei, both inside and outside.
On the first day, just like the one in Huazhou, they inspected the Forbidden Army and the Ye soldiers. This was something that the emperor must do no matter where he went to show that he attached great importance to the army. Liu Chengyou had a relatively simple idea, and he planned to pass Repeatedly and continuously brushing up the sense of presence in order to rejuvenate the monarch's power and unite people's hearts. Although there is no immediate effect, Liu Chengyou believes that over time, love will develop. Over time, there will always be some positive feedback. Therefore, Liu Chengyou intends to treat such political performances as a It’s a long-term career.

On the second day, Liu Chengyou, accompanied by Gao Xingzhou and the left-behind officials in Yedu, inspected the river works in Yedu. Although the imperial court focused on river management in the Central Plains, dredging was still indispensable for the Yongji Canal, the transportation lifeline of Hebei. .
On the third day, Liu Chengyou held a banquet in honor of the nobles and nobles from the county of Wei, and listened to the discussions and demonstrated his understanding of listening. He also met with farmers, workers, and merchants in Ye, especially "people from the disaster-stricken households." "Representative", kind words and comfort, make him bathe in the king's glory.
It was not until the fourth day that the imperial driver set off again to continue his northern tour. Before leaving, Liu Chengyou issued two orders. One was to order Gao Xingzhou to stop repairing the Ye Palace to avoid wasting money and food. There was not much major work, but it showed the emperor's attitude of suspending work; secondly, Gao Xingzhou was given an additional 1,000 food towns to reward him for his meritorious service in guarding Yedu. Of course, it was an empty food town.
Turning west and entering Xiangzhou, the rest of the journey basically follows the route Liu Chengyou took when he led his army east out of Taihang. Heading north, I remember and sigh with emotion all the way.
In Anyang, an altar was set up to commemorate the 100,000 soldiers and civilians who were massacred by the Liao army. They set out to pursue the old traces and talked with Zhe Xiaoniang about the original war against Liao, all the way to Xingzhou.
When he arrived in Xingzhou, he was respectfully welcomed into Longgang, the governor of the state, by Liu Chengyun, the king of Julu County at that time.
"Please punish the officials..." In the back hall of the state government office, they exchanged greetings with the emperor a little awkwardly for a while. Liu Chengyun suddenly stood up, breaking the harmonious atmosphere.
Liu Chengyou sat firmly, glanced at his adopted brother in surprise, and looked at him: "Brother Yun, why did you say this?"
Liu Chengyun looked serious and buried his head as he replied: "My appointment is inhumane and my supervision is ineffective. As a result, the Shahe County magistrate and the fish and meat village are tyrannizing one party without knowing it!"
What Liu Chengyun was referring to was an incident in Shahe County. When the emperor was passing through the border, he inspected its administration and found that the county magistrate Peng Mou was independent and self-sufficient. He was a local emperor, and the people under his rule were treated as livestock. Regarding the many regulations promulgated by the imperial court, Policies are regarded as nothing.
Although along the way, Liu Chengyou had seen a lot about the state of local autonomy, and as long as he made some achievements in governance, Liu Chengyou would give some approval and encourage him.
However, this complete disregard for the majesty of the central court still angered Liu Chengyou. As a result, it is not difficult to guess that Liu Chengyou directly ordered people to capture the Shahe County magistrate, suppressed his anger, and sent the car to Tokyo with Situ. Punish the crime. Although Liu Chengyou calmly wants to go through the process, but with his will, the fate of Shahe County Magistrate will never be better. With the crime he committed, it will be difficult to survive.
And this county magistrate was appointed by Liu Chengyun after he took office, and he was from his tribe.
"Brother Yun, please be freed!" Regarding Liu Chengyun's accusation, Liu Chengyou's attitude was very calm. He raised his hand and said: "Everyone can make mistakes sometimes. I am like this, but what about you? In Shahe County, I have already sent someone to deal with it. I have nothing to do with Brother Yun. I know your temperament very well. If I hadn’t been deceived by him, I would never have ended up like this..."
Liu Chengyou's words were full of the idea of evading responsibility for Liu Chengyun's protection. Liu Chengyun also looked very moved. His head hung lower and his tone became choked: "The official's words make me feel even more ashamed!"
Noticing Liu Chengyun's somewhat cautious performance, Liu Chengyou comforted him: "The country laid down by our ancestors needs our determination to protect it. You and I, brothers, are all one family. I trust you and have no reservations, so there is no need to be so cautious!"
After hearing this, Liu Chengyun paid his respects again: "When I left Beijing, the officials' earnest words of instruction were still in my ears. I feel uneasy about failing the official trust."
It has been almost two years since Liu Chengyun left the town of Xingzhou, and it was recommended by Yang Bin at the beginning. Anguojun is a large town in Hebei, with jurisdiction over more than ten counties in Xingming Prefecture. Here, Liu Chengyou has investigated, and Liu Chengyun is in the town During this period of time, one word can describe it, mediocre.
Without extraordinary political achievements or outstanding achievements, he only sat in Longgang, and the government orders were all issued by the Mu family. He advocated a "rule by doing nothing" and the government rarely interfered. Therefore, Xing Ming's people's livelihood was restored in a very special way. The simple way is to improve with speed.
Of course, the result of this is that during the previous disaster, hundreds of thousands of people in the two states were basically in a state of "fending for themselves". The government did little to do anything, and the common people were seriously injured.
Regarding Liu Chengyun's performance in the town, Liu Chengyou felt that it was obviously impossible to be satisfied. However, Liu Chengyou had already set extremely low expectations for these Han clan members. After Xuzhou's experience, this adopted brother joined the family. It is "rare" that my brother is not as arbitrary and cruel as Liu Xin.
In comparison, the problem in Shahe County is just a minor problem. A chaos in one county is much better than an evil that spreads to prefectures and counties. Furthermore, if Liu Chengyun really showed extraordinary military and political talents in the local area, , developed the land of Xingming into a powerful vassal in Beizhou, and contacted his biological father Liu Chong in Taiyuan. Liu Chengyou was in Tokyo, and he would probably have trouble sleeping and eating again, tossing and turning.
"If you have a town in one place, what's the point of governing the people while being trapped in a square city? If you have free time on weekdays, you should go out more often and see what's right and wrong, so that you won't be bullied by the poor..." No matter Whatever he was thinking in his heart, Liu Chengyou still spoke openly and openly, admonishing Liu Chengyun.
Faced with the emperor's suggestion, Liu Chengyun said respectfully: "In the future, I will visit the people more often and understand the people's sentiments!"
...
After a heart-to-heart talk with the emperor until the evening, Liu Chengyun returned to his temporary residence. The state government mansion was naturally vacated for the emperor and his concubine to live in.
When he was alone, Liu Chengyun changed his demeanor. He was very different from the cautious and humble person he was when he was in front of Liu Chengyou. It was very cold in winter, and he looked very calm under his luxurious fur clothes. The charcoal fire rising in the room reflected that A face full of contemplation.
Until his family presented a letter with a very mysterious look. Playing with a wax pill in his hand, Liu Chengyun frowned slightly and asked: "Where did this thing come from?"
"It was delivered to my door by a man with a Yedi accent. He did not reveal his identity, but he said he must present it to the king."
"Where is this person?" Liu Chengyun asked.
"People are gone!"
Liu Chengyun suddenly showed dissatisfaction and scolded him sternly. He crushed the wax ball, took out a crumpled piece of paper, opened it and turned it on to the light. He only glanced at it briefly, and his expression changed drastically.
But here, Liu Chengyou and the wise concubine had already got under the bed, leaning against each other, whispering at night...
"Your Majesty, Wang Jingchong, the Minister of War, has requested to see you. He has something important to report to you!" Zhang Dejun's cautious voice interrupted Liu Chengyou's movements.
It was getting late, so Liu Chengyou subconsciously replied: "No!"
It was Miss Zhe who blushed slightly, pressed Liu Chengyou's hand, and persuaded him: "Guan family, this person came to visit you at night. He must have something important to do. How can you turn him away?"
