After drinking a cup of tea, Liu Chengyou left the hospital with the courtesy of Guo Erchen.
After the emperor left, both of them subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Ruan and said to Guo Rong: "The military order of Fengxiang will be handed over to Privy Council Guo. The military situation is like fire and the fighter planes are fleeting. We should kindly advise Zhao Hui and the troops in the southwest. !”
"Yes!" Guo Rong bowed respectfully.
Zhe Congruan stood in front of the hall, thinking of the emperor's last look in his mind, thinking of his instructions to "debrief his duties" and his feelings about Zhe Deku. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. He secretly decided to write a letter that night and send it to In Fuzhou, he told his son to be honest and sincere. After receiving the imperial edict, he should not delay and come to Beijing as soon as possible to see him.
Up to now, all the states in the Han Dynasty, including military governors, observers, and defenders, all have the experience of going to Beijing to meet with the saints to report on their duties. You are the only one who has failed to be virtuous. Even if you are the head of the country and your daughter is favored, how can you stay here for a long time? In the border counties and prefectures, for Liu Chengyou, attitude has become the key.
After leaving the Privy Council, Liu Chengyou did not return to the Chongzheng Palace. He just ordered people to inform the ministers of some decisions regarding Hunan and Fengxiang, and asked Zhongshu to lower the system, issue orders, and arrange for cooperation.
Liu Chengyou went to the Qiuhua Palace to see the good concubine marrying the lady. The young lady was more than seven months pregnant. Speaking of it, she was in really good health. In other words, the fetus in her pregnancy was very fragile. When she was pregnant last year, she braved the frost and cold to follow her. Driving to the south, he also had a happy intercourse with Liu Chengyou, and everything was fine. The fetus has always been fine...
The summer rain comes one after another, accompanied by thunderbolts. The rain hits the palace city and rattles the palace walls and tiles. Standing in front of Qiuhua Palace, it is inevitable that the body will be stained with a layer of rain and mist. Looking at the raindrops flying all over the sky, Liu Chengyou condenses Eyebrow, he ordered: "Let Zhongshu pass the notice to the prefectures along the Yellow River. The rainy season has arrived. We should be more vigilant and strengthen the embankments to prevent the river from bursting!"
...
Compared with the showers in Tokyo, thousands of miles away in Jingzhaofu, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.
In Hu County, west of Chang'an, the vast wheat fields on the outskirts are already golden, with full ears of wheat, swaying in the heat wave caused by the summer wind. It is mid-afternoon, and while the heat of the sun has faded slightly, the farmers are among them, working hard Harvesting, there is tension in the quick movements.
There is a war going on in the west. Although the Shu army has been blocked by the imperial officers and soldiers, they really can't rest assured. Even if there is no official notice, the people in the territory will seize it on their own. Some time ago, the Shu army attacked Ziwu Town with a surprise attack. Song Yanwo, the governor of Jiedu, was frightened away, but it still deeply shocked the Li people around Jingzhao.
A group of knights turned to the wilderness and walked slowly along the dirt road beside the wheat field. Their strong horse legs trampled the weeds that were in the way. The knights were all strong, wearing fine armor and equipped with weapons, showing that they were sharp soldiers. .
The leaders are two young men, both wearing brocade clothes. One of them is even more noble. It is obvious that he is the leader of the group. Although he is young, his face is calm, his eyes are calm, and his attention is always focused on the side. A large wheat field that has been harvested half.
This young man is Liu Chengxun, King Yong of the Han Dynasty and the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture. It has been more than eight months since he took the newly married little princess of Wuyue to Jingzhao in the west. During this time, things in Guanzhong are not as good as he imagined. That kind of thing can dominate the wind and clouds and repel Fang Qiu.
The military affairs of Jingzhao were handled by his brother-in-law Song Yanwo, and the civil affairs were also handled by officials under the government. He was more like a mascot, kept in Chang'an, to appease the army and the people, and to declare the royal status and authority of the imperial court.
Of course, his experience and ability are not enough to be responsible for actual military and political matters. Just as Liu Chengyou said before leaving, listen more, see more, and learn more.
However, during his time in Chang'an, he still lived a very fulfilling and free life. Compared with being confined to the palace in Kaifeng, in Chang'an, in addition to daily reading and martial arts practice, he could go out on inspection tours from time to time. In terms of military and political affairs, great progress has also been made.
This time, he took the initiative to leave the city and come to Hu County to inspect the summer harvest situation.
Following Liu Chengxun, in addition to the fifty-horse bodyguard, was the dark-skinned young man. His name was Murong Chengtai, and he was the youngest son of Murong Yanchao. He was sent to Liu Chengyou because he was causing trouble in the city with his horse. The domineering young master in Guanzhong.
The relationship between Murong Chengtai and Liu Chengxun was not bad. After arriving in Jingzhao, he took a military position in the Yongxing Army as a battalion school, but he basically hung out with Liu Chengxun.
"My Lord Yongwang, what is there to see here? It's just a bunch of farmers harvesting wheat. It's so boring on a hot day!" Murong Chengtai was a little impatient while patrolling along and couldn't help complaining to Liu Chengxun.
"Food is the first priority for the people, the livelihood of the people, and the tax revenue of the imperial court. There is nothing more serious and important than this!" Liu Chengxun said in an old-fashioned way: "The Grand Master also said that I have As the Jingzhao Mansion, we are the parents under the rule. We should pay more attention to the people's sentiments and their livelihood..."
"Hey, you really live up to the name of the little wise king!" Murong Chengtai joked about Liu Chengxun's "elegant name" in Jingzhao.
In Chang'an, Liu Chengxun still earned a good reputation because of his lenient government, consideration for others, and fair judgment. Of course, everything was assisted by Prince Yong's Taifu and Li Song, the judge of Jingzhao Mansion.
After hearing what he said, Liu Chengxun finally put on a smile on his face, pointed to the wheat field, and asked: "Do you know how much grain tax the government can collect in Huxian County for one year?"
"How do I know this!" Murong Chengtai answered simply.
"Last year we had 18,700 dan, and this year we will definitely gain more. If nothing unexpected happens, we can break 20,000 dan!" Liu Chengxun said: "With the summer grain in the warehouse, we can get 10,000 dan, and we can support Fengxiang nearby. So that the army of Shu will not have to worry about food and fodder..."
Murong Chengtai was obviously not interested in how much grain Hu County could produce and how much harvest the government could produce, but when he heard the mention of the war in Fengxiang, he immediately became energetic, with a hint of encouragement: "Why don't we go to Fengxiang to see what the two countries have to offer?" We have been fighting for so long and we are so close. Why don't you go and inspect the army?"
Listening to his words, Liu Chengxun seemed to be interested in moving, but after thinking about it, he simply refused: "No!"
Seeing his reaction, Murong Chengtai immediately said: "Are you afraid?"
The young man was so angry that he couldn't bear the excitement. Liu Chengxun opened his mouth subconsciously, but still shook his head and said: "Brother-in-law will not allow it!"
Murong Chengtai was happy and said to him: "You are King Yong, and your status is above him. Do you still need the permission of your consort?"
Liu Chengxun said: "I am just the governor of Jingzhao. I sit in Chang'an for the emperor's brother, but I have no authority to control the Yongxing Army. What's more, if I go to Fengxiang Army. If I go rashly, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to the soldiers and return the news to Tokyo.
It’s easy to provoke the emperor’s brother to reprimand..."
"What kind of trouble can I cause? I'm just going to reward the sergeants. Don't you want to see what it's like to fight on the front line?" Murong Chengtai tempted Liu Chengxun: "Anyway, I planned to go and see. Your Majesty originally sent me to serve in the front line.
, and ended up being tied up in Chang'an by the Song Dynasty's Prince Consort. Isn't this a violation of the imperial edict..."
"Staying in Chang'an for a month has been too boring!"
Murong Chengtai was actually a little idle, and he was not a calm leader in character. He was sent to the front of the Guanzhong Army. In Murong Yanchao's view, it was a reprimand and punishment, but to him, it was like a fish in the sea...
..
Seeing that Liu Chengxun was actually a little tempted, Murong Chengtai smiled and said, "Let me give you an idea. The summer grain will be put into the warehouse. We will escort the military grain to Fengxiang and take a look at it?"
Hearing what Murong Chengtai said, Liu Chengxun also became interested. He thought about it seriously and shook his head again: "Go back to Chang'an and ask the Grand Tutor for his opinion!"
"Hey..." Murong Chengtai couldn't help but make a sad face, feeling helpless: "Why can't you say it?"
Liu Chengxun, on the contrary, smiled slightly.
"This patrol has also been carried out. There are no accidents during the summer grain harvest. Let's go hunting. I've asked before. There are wild boars and black bears in the outskirts of the county!" Murong Chengtai suggested to Liu Chengxun enthusiastically, some energetic people
Look.
"If you are interested, you can take the others with you. We will meet at the county town in two hours and return to Chang'an!" Liu Chengxun said to him.
"Why is it so boring!" Murong Chengtai was even more upset.
Seeing this, Liu Chengxun ordered to dismount, walked to the edge of the field, and looked at Murong Chengtai: "Have you ever tried harvesting grain?"
"How can I, a royal relative and the son of a duke, do such a despicable job!" Murong Chengtai replied carelessly. He suddenly realized something and turned to look at Liu Chengxun: "You won't--"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Chengxun began to take off his robe and ordered the captain of the guard: "Go and ask the farmer to borrow two cutting knives!"
