Chapter 187 Everyone came to the table one after another
At dawn, when the sky is bright, the palace ladies in the Han Palace get up one after another, wash themselves up, go to their posts, and serve the nobles in the palace. Compared with the early years of Qianyou, in the past two years, many more people have been added to the Han Palace. As it became less popular, palace maids and eunuchs were gradually added to the palace. In the meantime, the cold palaces and abandoned palaces were mostly filled and taken care of.
Up to now, except for the guards of the imperial army, the total number of all palace people has exceeded 600, which is more than twice the number in the early years of Qianyou. Among them, the beauties presented to the Han Dynasty by Guangnan Tang, Wu Yue, Jingnan, and Le There are more than a hundred workers, painters, etc. in total.
This is actually contrary to Liu Chengyou's "frugal" initiative. However, according to the court etiquette, the supervisory offices in the palace also need personnel to fill and maintain operations. At the beginning of the country, all affairs were not perfect, and Liu Chengyou was simple and simple. It makes sense.
Of course, it is undeniable that the emperor has added some enjoyment, but it is irrelevant and does not indulge in it. Maybe in a few years, after achieving great achievements, the emperor may change again.
Not long ago, as the number of people in the palace increased, Liu Chengyou ordered that the palace maids of appropriate age be released from the palace, and unmarried meritorious officers were selected from the imperial army and given marriages. This move also gained Liu Chengyou a wave of military morale.
After all, he drank some wine last night and had a lot of trouble with the Queen, so His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty rarely stayed in bed. However, as the sky became brighter, Liu Chengyou finally used great perseverance to get up. Get up from the couch.

While washing, Empress Fu also got up and served her in person. She was dressed in tulle, showing off the charm of a young woman. Her face was rosy and she looked pretty and well-moisturized.
He personally handed the wet wipes to Liu Chengyou. Seeing his poor complexion, he couldn't help but said angrily: "In the future, Erlang should not drink so much wine anymore. Excessive drinking will harm the body. Erlang is bound by his family and country, so he should take care of his body as a priority." Heavy!"
Liu Chengyou wiped his face and threw the towel into the washbasin, splashing water droplets. Heeding his advice, he turned to look at the queen, with a graceful look that was a bit enchanting. Pay attention to the crimson color on his cheeks. Liu Chengyou murmured to himself. I take care of myself, why did I ask for so much last night...
However, he said softly: "I was happy last night, but I will never be like this in the future."
"I'm going back to the Chongzheng Hall first. The Queen Mother is here to greet me and take Liu Yang with me." After finishing the dragon robe, Liu Chengyou said, preparing to leave.
"Let's have breakfast first!" Queen Fu said.
"No need. I've been lazy for more than half an hour. I'm afraid I'll have to pile up more memorials on top of the imperial case..." Liu Chengyou took a deep breath and muttered.
In the Chongzheng Hall and the side hall, several more talented officials were added, named "Chongzheng Lang". These people were all the meritorious descendants of the court officials, and they were selected to serve the emperor. As Liu Chengyou continued to collect The government affairs are becoming more and more complicated, and it is difficult for him to take care of them by himself. These young people usually assist in the management of state affairs. Although they are just sorting out the work, their positions are humble, but they have a bright future.
Li Fang was the leader with the title of bachelor of Chongzheng Palace. When Liu Chengyou returned to Zhengdian, all the Chongzheng ministers were on duty and called Li Fang directly: "What's the urgent matter? I'll approve it first!"
Li Fang held a whole stack of memorials, picked out a few letters individually, and briefly stated to Liu Chengyou: "The southwest transfer envoy Yan Jinqing reported the tax situation of the towns in Guanzhong, please submit to your majesty, and then appoint officials to serve in the towns to completely integrate them. Guanzhong Finance;
The Southwest Governor reported to Xun that the Privy Council has given instructions on the Fengxiang army's reorganization plan, please approve it;
Wang Yanchao, commander of the Hedong capital, submitted the progress of the preparations for the establishment of the capital and the rectification of the troops and horses under the yamen;
Wang Pu, the chief envoy to Huaidong, petitioned to depose ten county magistrates under his jurisdiction. They were charged with neglecting political affairs, lining their own pockets, colluding with local lawlessness, and other crimes, and recommended other officials;
In addition, Yao Yuanfu, the envoy of Baoda Jiedushi, petitioned to resign from his post as the envoy of Jiedushi."
Although the first few articles attracted Liu Chengyou's attention, the last one caught his attention the most. After just one night, someone resigned.
According to Liu Chengyou's idea, what he said at the banquet last night was quite explicit, but after all, it was a release of power, especially for a town like Shi Kuangyi who has been in control for more than ten years. It is not easy to make the decision to let go. No matter what, you need to hesitate for three or two days. After considering the situation, you can make up your mind and make a wise choice.
But he didn't expect that this morning, before he could completely shake off his sleepiness, the first letter of resignation had already been submitted, and it was Yao Yuanfu.
While enjoying the breakfast prepared by the Superintendent of Food and Beverage, I read Yao Yuanfu's glossary, which contained hundreds of words. I thought it was written by Yao Yuanfu himself. It was not very good-looking, and there were typos. However, the words were simple and straightforward. Chest.
He briefly talked about his achievements, briefly expressed his resignation, and recounted the hardships of government affairs. However, he still expressed to the emperor that he had been fighting all his life. Although he was old, he was still willing to lead the army in battle if the emperor needed it. He also included a word of apology, saying that the emperor had spent the night before. He forgot his feelings during the banquet, lost his etiquette in front of the emperor, and messed up the etiquette. He asked the emperor to forgive him. In addition, he had five sons. Although they were useless, they were somewhat rough and brave, and they could serve as pawns and serve the country.
After reading Yao Yuanfu’s list of words, Liu Chengyou smiled, took a sip, finished the last bite of noodles, and licked the bowl again. It’s true that a man has become a monster with age. Although Yao Yuanfu was straightforward, he was also honest when he spoke to him. , but not ambiguous.
However, Liu Chengyou was quite satisfied and was not unhappy because of his honesty. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou opened his mouth and gave instructions: "Pass the imperial edict, antidote Yuan Fu Bao Da Jiedu envoy, grant the title of Duke of Fen, and grant food." There are 1,000 households in the city, and 300 households will be enfeoffed, plus servants. Well... the Duke of Fen will be the commander of the capital, and his wife will be given imperial edicts, and all the sons under his knees will be appointed by the Ministry of War according to their talents."
After dealing with Yao Yuanfu's request, Liu Chengyou was free to review other memorials. The memorials submitted by Yan Jinqing, Xiang Xun, and Wang Yanchao found no problems, so he quickly issued instructions and sent them to the Yasi.
On the other side of Huaidong, in the past few months after returning to the army, Wang Pu took over the government affairs and made a lot of noise. With his strong temperament and fierce methods, he could be said to have made great efforts in Yangzhou. He killed many officials and killed them. Many people, including ten county magistrates, and not all of them were old officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, after some hesitation, Zhu Pi agreed, and Liu Chengyou still trusted Wang Pu's talents and conduct.
As if it was an agreement, after the edict to reward Yao Yuan's blessings was issued, Shi Kuangyi and Zhao Hui's speech lists came one after another. For Shi Kuangyi and Liu Chengyou, who had guarded Jingyuan for many years, they were named Duke of Jing and were rewarded as follows. Yao Yuanfu only asked him to recuperate in Luoyang because of his illness.
As for Zhao Hui, he was the Duke of Shaanxi and stayed in Tokyo temporarily, both for recuperation and as a consultant. Following the three, An Shenqi, Zhang Yanwei, Liu Chongjin and Wang Jing successively submitted their resignations.
Needless to say, An Shenqi, after Guo Wei went south to take over Xiangzhou, he led his family to Beijing. Liu Chengyou, as the elder of the country, renamed him the Duke of Chenliu; Zhang Yanwei was the Duke of Dingguo, Liu Chongjin was the Duke of Nanyang, and the king The scene is Bohai County Duke...
As a result, the Han Dynasty had a few more towns and needed to start restructuring and rectification.
In fact, it was true that Liu Chengyou was dismissed from office and removed from power for those who came to Beijing, and it was also through the redemption policy, but there was no intention of letting him enjoy local enclosures, either raising him in Luoyang or staying in Tokyo.
Moreover, what he wants is Fang Zhen's governance, wealth, and military power, but he does not abandon all these old commanders. People like them have rich leadership experience and are in their twilight years. After relinquishing power, they can still change their positions. Let the Han Dynasty shine. All over the country, there is still a shortage of military and political talents, and Liu Chengyou will not waste it. Like Yao Yuanfu, he is unwilling to disband, but Liu Chengyou still gives him a chance.
It's just a change of place. It won't be like the previous move of town, where military and political power are all integrated into one body. Liu Chengyou still needs to consider the appointment of these people, and there is plenty of room for them to display their talents.
Liu Chengyou had no objections to these military governors, especially those who took the initiative to obey. Dismissal and generous rewards were only a means. Restructuring, taking back power, and balancing military and political affairs were the goals.
