Additional updates for book friends who have recently rewarded me.
After considering Li Tao's suggestion for a while, he said: "The Huaidong Transfer Department has transferred Wang Pu of Haozhou to take up his post. He has been in Haozhou for more than three years and has outstanding political achievements. With his talents, he is the political commissar of a state. I feel wronged to him!
As for other things, no changes will be made. The missing officials at the top and bottom, the central government and the staff should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid affecting official duties. Officers need to be selected, and the new officials must have a new atmosphere. Tell them four words to take a warning!"
"Yes!" Now that Liu Chengyou had spoken, Li Tao didn't think there was anything wrong, but couldn't help but ask: "What about Shen Yu?"
"Let him go to Guanzhong and be assigned as an inspector!" Liu Chengyou said directly.
After saying that, he looked at Fan Zhi again, with a smile on his face that was as warm as the spring breeze in March: "As for Fan Qing, I did it myself, day and night, to break the prison sentence. It was hard work, the punishment was fair, and I handled it appropriately. If you don't express it, you don't have sympathy for your ministers.
In this way, I will allocate 50 pieces of money from the internal funds and get ten pieces of Shu brocade! This is my wish and there is no need to refuse it!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dejun took the order from the side.
When Fan Zhi heard this, he didn't pretend to be polite and refused. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Even if you are an upright official, you still need to eat and wear clothes. No matter how honest and self-sufficient Fan Zhi is, he is still the prime minister of the dynasty. On weekdays, the whole family spends money inside and outside the prime minister's house, plus some additional expenses. No matter how careful the calculation is, it is still possible. It was a large amount of money. It was also accompanied by rewards from the emperor from time to time, so that his life was relatively smooth.
Speaking of which, among all the courtiers in the central government, the one who argued with the emperor the most on official matters was Fan Zhi, but he was also the one who received the most rewards. If this friendship between the emperor and his ministers can be maintained for a long time, all the way to the end, then It is also a beautiful story, enough to be passed down through the ages.
"Your Majesty's generous treatment of Wen Su is really enviable. As I watched from the sidelines, I can't help but feel a little jealous in my heart!" Li Tao said to Fan Zhi after walking out of the Chongzheng Hall. He was not joking, but he was just using it as a joke. Joking and speaking from the heart.
Fan Zhi's description also softened a bit, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Your Majesty's kindness can only be repaid with loyalty!"
After saying this, there was a hint of suspicion in his expression, and he said: "According to your Majesty's wishes, is this case completely settled?"
"I think so!" Li Tao said with a relaxed smile: "It seems that His Majesty has no intention of seizing the opportunity to rectify the whole country. But you and I are overthinking it!"
Fan Zhi's feeling was of course a bit unexpected, but his expression completely returned to solemnity, and he solemnly said: "This also shows that His Majesty has made the determination to go south to Jinghu!"
When mentioning this, Li Tao also became more serious, thought for a while, and said: "Judging from the current situation in Jinghu, it is also an opportunity. Furthermore, Jinghu is the heart of the world, and it should be our target to attack! Take Jinghu first! Lake, at least it is much easier than passing through thousands of miles of Shu mountains, risking every step, fighting every step."
"Since the Tang Dynasty, wars have been raging for many years, vassal towns have been separated, various countries have merged, and China has been experiencing civil strife for more than seventy years. Now, the people of the world have been longing for peace for a long time! The unification of the world and the unification of the four seas are not far away. In the future, it will be great luck for you and me to be able to participate in this great event together at this time!" Fan Zhi, however, sighed heavily.
"I can only do my best to assist His Majesty and achieve great things!" Li Tao's eyes also showed two blazing rays of light.
Regardless of Li and Fan, they criticized Liu Chengyou's choice of conquering Shu, and even directly opposed it. But the world situation has developed to this point, and they will not hold back in trying to unify the world!
While the two prime ministers were having a clear discussion, Liu Chengyou in the Chongzheng Palace also withdrew his thoughts from the Huaidong case. In fact, just as Fan Zhi had previously considered, in order to implement the Jingdong plan that had been formulated last winter, According to the Lake Strategy, Liu Chengyou did not intend to spread the corruption case in Huaidong to the whole country, and of course he did not deny that he had this intention.
As for what Wang Pu and Zheng Renjie did in Yangzhou, he only silently supported it. After all, the situation in Huaidong was different from that of other states. It was a territory that had only been conquered by force in recent years. In terms of operability, it was much more difficult. Much more.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Fan Zhi's judgment was adopted as the result, bringing the matter to an end. Through Wu Desi, Liu Chengyou also understood that there were no more dark corners in this matter.
As for Liu Chengyou's anger over the corruption incident, he has long since dissipated. He knows very well that wanting to put an end to corruption is simply a wishful thinking, and he does not engage in that delusion. The reason why he does it so solemnly and with so much fanfare is even more so. The purpose of many considerations is to express an attitude. Combating corruption has always been a form of political correctness, but the degree varies in each dynasty, generation and time.
For him as an emperor, there is no distinction between corrupt and honest officials, only useful and useless. Officials like Zhao Feng are too greedy and stupid, their actions are too public, and their influence is too bad. How can they not be punished? .
When Liu Chengyou was contemplating and turning his thoughts on the strategy of Jinghu Lake, he was interrupted by an announcement: "Your Majesty, Duke Yu Guo wants to see you!"
"Mr. Yu Guo?" After regaining his senses, Liu Chengyou frowned slightly and muttered: "Why is he here!"
Immediately he reacted, thinking of Fan Zhi's report just now, that Li Hongxin was involved with Zhao Feng, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Liu Chengyou seemed to be interested and ordered: "Announce him to the palace!"
Soon, a slightly bloated figure walked up to the palace. It had been a year since the family banquet at Ciming Hall last spring. It had been a year since I had seen Li Hongxin. This uncle seemed to be a little fatter. Obviously, This is the effect of eating, drinking, playing and enjoying yourself all the year round.
"Uncle, no courtesy!" Seeing Li Hongxin's eager actions, Liu Chengyou simply didn't want to salute him and asked: "Uncle is not in Luoyang to receive blessings, how come you have time to come to Tokyo?"
Li Hongxin's expression was a little serious, and the fat on his face was affected when he spoke: "Guan Jia, I heard rumors that someone in Tokyo was cheating on me. I feel unhappy both physically and mentally. I came here to ask for my innocence!"
To be honest, these words coming from Li Hongxin's mouth are still a bit funny. Hearing this, Liu Chengyou chuckled and said, "Uncle, your ears and eyes are clear!"
Li Hongxin didn't care at all about Liu Chengyou's strange aura, and said to him with anger on his face: "Guan Jia, let me be honest with you, Zhao Feng and I do have some friendship and have interacted with each other in the past.
But after I returned to Luoyang, I had long lost contact with him. Every time I thought that this person deserved to be corrupted and violated the law, I never thought that this traitor would falsely accuse me, destroy my innocence, and ruin my reputation.
I have a lot of property and land in the two capitals. I can't even talk about one hundred thousand yuan, but I still have tens of thousands of yuan, which is enough for me and my family to last a lifetime. How can I care about his dirty money?
Official, you have to make the decision for me!"
"Uncle, don't worry!" Seeing that Li Hongxin was a little excited, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but smile and reassured: "Drink some tea first!"
Liu Chengyou listened to everything Li Hongxin said, but he only believed half of it. At the same time, he didn't particularly care. In fact, even if he was really involved with Huaidong, he now had to think carefully about whether to deal with him or not. .Everyone has selfish interests, so Liu Chengyou had to worry about the Queen Mother's feelings. He had already hurt the Queen Mother's heart in the arrangement and appointment of the Li clan members.
Furthermore, Liu Chengyou is quite satisfied with Li Hongxin, his uncle. He has obvious character traits, likes to amass money, and is stingy. Apart from that, there are no more shortcomings worth writing about, and of course there are no strong points.
"Uncle, don't pay attention to those rumors, so as not to pollute your ears!" After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou said to Li Hongxin: "How can I take things seriously if there is no evidence? Before that, I reprimanded the conduct of the case. A meal. As for Zhao Feng, he doesn’t repent, and when he is about to die, he still wants to accuse others. His intention is to be punished. I have already decided to kill him!"
"The officials are wise!" After hearing Liu Chengyou's kind words, Li Hongxin immediately relaxed and smiled happily.
"Since you're here, let's stay in Tokyo for two more days and go to Ciming Palace to see my mother first!" Liu Chengyou said.

"Yes! Official, please do your work first, I'll leave!" Li Hongxin put down the tea he had taken two sips of, got up and went to bed.
