Zhongshu Sheng drafted an edict to be sent to Hedong and handed it over to his subordinates for review. Tao Gu clicked his tongue and sighed: "In recent days, the imperial court has been sending dispatches to Hedong, and various military and political orders have been issued frequently. Hedong Something will happen!"
After saying that, he leisurely picked up a cup of tea and took a sip in a stylish manner. After hearing what he said, a man next to him could not help but ask: "What does Tao Gong mean by this?"
"You are serving in the Central Committee, and you are in contact with all the secrets of the imperial court. Can't you even see this trend?" Tao Gu raised his head slightly and smiled faintly: "The King of Taiyuan guards the ten states in Hedong. He has experienced After six years of absence from the government, under the rule of Hedong, there were countless officials and generals who turned out to be traitors. Although the King of Taiyuan was a relative of the emperor, in the long run, it would not be beneficial to the country or the king. The court had already been alert. How can we not make some changes!"
The officials present showed surprise and compliments. However, it was inevitable that some people were secretly disdainful in the face of Tao Gu's slightly complacent appearance. If Liu Chengyou puts it in Liu Chengyou's words, at this time, Tao Gu was, compared to before, There is obviously a lot less awe.
In the Chongzheng Hall, Liu Chengyou had just met with Murong Yanchao and talked with him about the governance of Kaifeng Prefecture. As the most benign district, Kaifeng Prefecture has attracted the attention of the world, especially the city of Tokyo.
The former governor, Hou Yi, was an old man. In addition, he was older and had no energy for trouble. All actions were carried out in accordance with the rules of the imperial court. The imperial court had orders, never delayed, and implemented them according to the regulations. Other than that, , as long as he does not cause trouble to the Hou Fuyin and everyone is well, the Hou will be able to govern the country, which is a bit like "governing by doing nothing".
Compared with Hou Yi, Murong Yanchao was much more active and promising when in power. He strived to stabilize public security and promote market prosperity. Within half a year, the Kaifeng Mansion issued more than ten government orders, and there were many things that Murong Yanchao did not like. Carry out rectification.
Roads were opened, public security was strengthened, and markets were rectified. Murong Yanchao developed a simple and effective management system for various industries in the three cities of North, East, and South Tokyo.
Murong Yanchao was a man of bad personal ethics, especially greedy and fond of amassing money. When he was in power in Kaifeng Mansion, although he enriched his own pockets and indulged in favoritism, it was nothing compared to his political achievements.
During the conquest of Huaihe River, Tokyo was inevitably affected by the war. Murong Yanchao also contributed to the suppression and suppression of the city to maintain order in the market.
Another thing that surprised Liu Chengyou was that this imperial uncle seemed to have an extraordinary talent in criminal cases and litigation. He had solved more than 70 cases by his hands. And since Hou Hou With the end of his term of office, the old cases left over were also cleared up by Murong Yanchao during this six months...

Murong Yanchao's tenure in Kaifeng Mansion can be described as "outstanding political achievements".
"The emperor's uncle has good governance, and the scholars and the people praise him, I am very pleased!" Staring at Murong Yanchao, who was standing respectfully in the hall, this famous "black, rough and tough", Liu Chengyou said with a smile on his lips: "Go back to the Yamen Go ahead and keep up the good work!"
"Yes!" Murong Yanchao responded.
When leaving the main hall, Murong Yanchao's face was not good-looking and looked even darker. "Yan Kunlun" maintained the face of the King of Hell. Although his political achievements were praised by the emperor, his most beloved Liu son was assigned to serve on the Fengxiang front line. went.
As for Liu Chengyou, the purpose of summoning Murong Yanchao into the palace was to beat him up. Some people, if they don't give warnings, will cause trouble sooner or later, and Murong Yanchao obviously belongs to this kind of person.
"Bold!" A little later, when Liu Chengyou learned about Tao Gu's remarks, he suddenly felt bad and scolded him coldly.
Zhang Dejun, who was reporting from the side, was startled and lowered his head subconsciously.
"This Tao Gu! Recently, he has become more and more outspoken and has no respect for himself!" Liu Chengyou said coldly, and then ordered: "Password to Tao Gu for an audience!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dejun hurriedly followed the order, but before he left the palace, he was stopped by Liu Chengyou.
After standing up and walking for a few steps, thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou raised his hand and ordered: "Pass the order, and make Tao Gu the deputy envoy of the Xuanwei Department!"
Not long ago, Liu Chengyou finally established the Xuanwei Department in the DPRK, which was dedicated to promoting the monarchy, national code, and kingship. He made the large and small Xuanwei envoys who had previously been active between the military and the government completely independent and turned them over to Zhao. To serve as a propaganda envoy, he prepared to establish a government office.
The reason why Liu Chengyou treated Tao Gu poorly was because during the Southern Expedition, Liu Chengyou used his power to do things in Shouchun. His hands and feet were too dirty. According to Li Shaoyou's report, Tao Gu was ordered to screen Shouchun Prison because there were many prisoners among them. They were all prominent families in the city, wealthy households, and officials. Tao Gu got greedy and ordered someone to hint to his generation and redeem them with property. From this, Tao Gu got tens of thousands of coins.
Over the years, Liu Chengyou had received a lot of inappropriate behavior about Tao Gu, and he tolerated it, but this time was the one that disappointed Liu Chengyou the most, so he later acted indifferently.
This time, letting Tao Gu serve as the deputy envoy of the newly-established Xuanwei Department was both a reprimand and a warning. For him, Liu Chengyou had already thought of his many years of service and contribution. If after this, Tao Gu still does not know how to be vigilant and does not know how to repent, Then Liu Chengyou would no longer be able to tolerate it.
Sighing softly, Liu Chengyou discovered that the problems before him were one after another, with no end in sight. It had only been so long, and the world was still not peaceful. Many people in the court had already begun to corrupt. Degenerate, and there are many "old people" who follow Liu Chengyou.
However, thinking about what Tao Gu said, Liu Chengyou also subconsciously walked to the map and set his sights on the territory east of Hedong.
After the Southern Expedition and the return to the imperial court, Liu Chengyou was mainly busy with three things. One was to digest and stabilize Huainan; the other was to prepare the border with Shu; the third was to reduce the vassal and regain power.
As for cutting down the vassal, Liu Chengyou planned to start from Hedong. In terms of identity, strength, and geographical location, Hedong is the first town in the world. Liu Chengyou chose to start with Hedong after comprehensive consideration. This time, he chose to start with the big one and then the small one. It's difficult first and easy later. If Hedong is tidied up, the rest will be easier.
For Hedong and Tokyo, Liu Chengyou has prepared a whole set of combination punches, but he doesn't know how Liu Chong, the emperor's uncle, will respond and whether he can handle it.
As Tao Gu said, something is going to happen east of Hedong!
Staring at the states east of Hedong, Liu Chengyou was a little distracted and his eyes were in a trance. After a long time, he raised his hand and said: "Go down, if there is a report from Hedong, you can submit it!"
"yes!"
Liu Chengyou sent three waves of people to Hedong: the prime minister Fan Zhi, the military envoy Li Shaoyou, and the prince of Yu Zhao Kuangyin. Each of them received personal instructions from Liu Chengyou before leaving.
This was the beginning of the elimination of vassal states in the Han Dynasty.
