Longgang City at night quickly returned to normal after a slight martial law. The unusual movements were so short that the officials and people in the city were barely aware of them. It was like a pool of water that swallowed up a stone that fell inadvertently. There were ripples in the water, and then it calmed down and became calm.
However, the important military and political officials in Longgang, as well as the accompanying central bureaucrats, were somewhat aware of the strangeness that occurred at night, especially inferring from the results.
The matter of Yang Bin's capture was kept under a high level of confidentiality. Even though Liu Chengyou issued a hush-hush order, it was inevitable that some leaks would be leaked. Therefore, starting from the next morning, rumors began to spread in Longgang's area.
The accompanying Prime Minister Li Tao, not understanding the reason, couldn't help but go in and make tentative inquiries to Liu Chengyou, but Liu Chengyou dismissed them lightly.
Even so, Li Tao was still sure of one thing. Something happened to Yang Bin. He was shocked and overjoyed.
Speaking of Li Tao and Yang Yi, there was a grudge. Li Tao was full of resentment towards Yang Yi. When Liu Zhiyuan entered Tokyo, he first established the Han Dynasty and entrusted the financial power to Yang, Wang, Su and other ministers, which made him powerful. Chi Sheng, especially Yang Bin.
Later, due to the heavy power of the Yuan ministers, constant attacks and cross-examination led to political instability. Liu Zhiyuan promoted former Jin Dynasty ministers such as Li Tao and Dou Zhengu to provide checks and balances.
However, although the results were small and effective, they were not satisfactory. As for Li Tao, the two or three years in Zhengshitang were filled with heartache and tears. Facing the strong and power-loving Yang Bin, he was always suppressed. Deadly.
Especially in the early days, there was almost no room for him to perform in the central government. In fact, Yang Bin dared to scold or even reprimand in front of other prime ministers and subordinates, and rarely showed mercy.
Until now, the winter of the second year of Qianyou, this situation has not fundamentally changed.
Of course, after Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne and under the overt and covert pressure and weakening of the emperor, Yang Bin's situation of being the dominant family in the Han Dynasty changed.
Although not as "savvy" as Feng Dao, Li Tao also had a certain political vision and was keenly aware of the emperor's not-so-ambiguous attitude towards Yang Bin. After two years, he decisively stood up to fight against Yang Bin in the court. A group of people were gathered under the banner of Pi, and with the help of former ministers such as Dou Zhengu and Zhao Ying, they were able to gain momentum and no longer occupy their position in vain.
However, no matter how Li Tao "progresses", it is difficult to truly overwhelm Yang Bin in the court. Not only is the Yuanchen Group led by Yang Bin still powerful, but even Liu Chengyou will not allow the Han Dynasty to be allowed to rule the court. It was controlled by the old ministers of the former dynasty.
Although Liu Chengyou and Yang Yan disliked each other due to long-standing and deep-rooted prejudices or misunderstandings, it did not prevent him from maintaining a clear mind and not crossing the line in order to suppress Yang Yan. The Han Dynasty, After all, it was not established by the legacy of later Jin Dynasties such as Li Tao.
Seeing that Li, Dou, Zhao and other surviving ministers had formed a clique before, Liu Chengyou did not hesitate to curb it, and used Xuzhou and his party to keep Dou Zhen in Xuzhou and effectively drive him out of Tokyo. Fan Zhi, a close minister, was promoted to the position of prime minister.
It can be said that in the court, Yang Bin was Li Tao's biggest political enemy and opponent. He wanted to overthrow him and he was confident because in his opinion, he and the emperor were on the same side. If the emperor doubts his minister, he will die.
However, Yang Bin's defeat still surprised Li Tao. It was too sudden and too mysterious. In fact, the emperor had already solved the problem without Li Xianggong's efforts.
Even so, it did not prevent Li Tao from being happy, and he was already secretly thinking about what to do next. The fall of Yang Xi was a drastic change for the Han Dynasty, and the development of the situation in the DPRK would definitely bring about earth-shaking changes.

Compared with the planned itinerary of the Northern Patrol, Liu Chengyou stayed in Xingzhou for one more day, and only stayed for one more day. This unexpected incident in Longgang was not worth Liu Chengyou's pause for too long.
However, before continuing to go north, some of the arrangements Liu Chengyou made for Xingzhou when he was demoted are already very revealing. Liu Chengyun, the king of Julu County, was relieved of the post of Jiedu Envoy of the Anguo Army, was given the rank of Minister, and was transferred back to Tokyo to be promoted to Zongzhengqing to replace Liu Chengyou. Manage clan affairs.
This is basically a sinecure. Although the clan system of the Han Dynasty follows the old system, it is actually blank. One is that from Liu Zhiyuan to Liu Chengyou, there is no time to take care of it; the other is that the clan of Liu Han is really thin, with only big cats and kittens. Three or two.
Over the past three generations, just like other official positions, they have only had a false name but no power. Zong Zhengqing has also become a false position awarded to meritorious officials. However, Liu Chengyou transferred Liu Chengyun this time, but still gave him real power, leaving him to take over the Han clan. The thought of managing this burden.
For a long time, Liu Chengyou had been suffering from the complexity of the dynasty's official system and the inconsistency between reality and reality. Liu Chengyou had long been determined to organize reforms, but the current situation was not peaceful and the national affairs were turbulent, so he could not spare his time. Therefore, he could only come up with the situation and the specific issues for the time being. Specific analysis and implementation. Just as the Yushitai system was rebuilt before, the same is true for today's clan.
Regarding the attitude of the official system of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chengyou still admired the integration of officials and positions, which was worthy of the name. This was probably because the problem of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty in his previous life had left a deep impression on him.
Regarding the emperor's move to relieve power, Liu Chengyun did not have any objections. Instead, he behaved very respectfully and actively cooperated.
Although he is not a particularly smart person, he still has a basic sense of crisis. The earth-shattering secret letter in the cold night really shocked him. Even if he took the initiative to report to the emperor and extract himself from it, Liu Chengyun himself He was still uneasy in his heart. Military, political and state affairs were nothing more sensitive than rebellion and rebellion. In Liu Chengyun's mind, the emperor was really not easy to serve.
Instead of going directly to Tokyo, he was taken by Liu Chengyou and drove north to patrol the border. Liu Chengyou has not dealt with the position of the Anguo Army Jiedu for the time being, but based on his urine, he will probably choose to abolish the Jiedu, establish a prefecture, and directly Incorporated into the central government's temporary jurisdiction system.
Although successive wars and disasters have done great damage to Hebei and seriously weakened the local strength and potential, on the other hand, the confidence of the central government has also been weakened. This is a critical period for the court to establish its authority. This will help the court to control the country. Control and conditioning of Hebei.
As for Xing Ming's military affairs, Liu Chengyou thought for a long time and decided to appoint Gao Huaide as the commander of Xingzhou's cavalry army, responsible for rectifying Xing's army, calming the territory, and maintaining public order, waiting for the court to send new officials in charge. Although the attitude of military and political separation is ambiguous, it will be The meaning is just there, not said, just done.
Regarding the appointment of Gao Huaide, some of the ministers who accompanied him said that Linqing King Gao Xingzhou was guarding the capital of Ye and had already established Weibo. If Gao Huaide was appointed to serve as a military officer at Xingming, the father and son would occupy four states together and fear that he would become powerful.
Liu Chengyou did not respond to this, but only rewarded the ministers with some property for their loyalty and advice. The ministers could think of how Liu Chengyou did not consider it, but if nothing happens, Gao Laolinggong will return to the court soon. Retired.
After passing Xingzhou, probably because the weather was getting colder and colder, the pace of the Northern Patrol was obviously accelerated, but we still did the same things, appreciating the hometown, comforting the officials and people, and reviewing the troops.
Yang Bin suddenly disappeared, but things were as usual in the camp, at least on the surface. On the way to the north, Prime Minister Li Tao took over Yang Bin's previous functions and stood at the front desk to show his face...
