The next day, the imperial chariot set off on time without any delay, and no one dared to delay. Before leaving, Liu Chengyou issued another order, saying that the palace in Yuancheng did not need too many people to maintain it, and should be dispersed as appropriate.

More than 3,000 people, with chariots, horses, and ceremonial guards, and flags standing everywhere, showing the majesty of the royal family. The cavalry led the way, and the soldiers guarded the rear. They walked calmly along the direction of the canal and toward the northeast.

In the second year of Qianyou's winter tour, after passing Yuancheng, he turned to the west road and followed the route of the northern expedition to Khitan, taking Xing, Ming, and passing Ji and Zhao. This was not the case this time. The route was changed according to Liu Chengyou's ideas. , is to prepare to go north along the canal, inspecting local governance and people's livelihood conditions along the way.

From Yuancheng to Qinghe, Beizhou, the journey of more than 130 miles took six days of stop-and-go, including only one night's rest in Linqing County. Of course, Liu Cheng alone You have a pair of eyes and a pair of ears, which cannot see everything or hear everything. The ministers and officials accompanying you and the local Wude Secretary are your eyes and ears.

The spring sunshine always makes people feel comfortable. Leaning on the soft cushions, the light shines brightly through the rolled-up curtains. The face and body are warm, and even the mood is a bit happy.

There was a stack of memorials on the side, all of which were recently delivered to the camp from Tokyo, some of which were more important or involved in disputes. He said that all affairs in the DPRK were done to the best of his ability, but it really made Liu Chengyou completely let go. He was not used to traveling around the north.

What gave him some comfort was that the ministers also knew how to report to Xingying. Obviously, they all knew that the emperor was a man who had a strong desire for control and had a very upright attitude.

What Liu Chengyou was holding was the group discussion on the transfer of officials from Huaixi and Hebei provinces, which was sent to Liu Chengyou. Judging from the time, the efficiency was very high, and the prime ministers did not seem to have gone through too much wrangling. , they discussed the candidates. Of course, reporting to the emperor for approval is a necessary process.

For the post of Chief Envoy to Huaixi, the crowd recommended Liu Wensou, the Minister of Rites, saying that he was an upright, upright, honest and upright man. Liu Wensou had a great reputation in the court, and he was the most observant of etiquette among all the courtiers. A line that is almost pedantic.

On weekdays, except for official salary and some ancestral property in his hometown, he has no income. Unlike many officials, who secretly purchase land or pretend to be relatives to handle the property with the help of old people, and strictly prohibit their family members from doing business. Therefore, Liu Wensou lives a life of I have always been very miserable.

Liu Chengyou heard an interesting story. A disciple returned to Beijing after being transferred from a local place. He paid a visit with a gift. He refused and accepted it out of affection. However, he returned the gift the next day with a gift several times the value. After several times, others understood his ambition. Well, I'm going to visit you, and I won't bring any money or gifts with you.

However, due to several double rewards, Liu Wensou's life became even more miserable. In Tokyo, it was really rare for him to reach his official position. It turned out that in order to reward his reputation, Liu Chengyou specially rewarded him with some money and food. Clothes, but later I heard that all the gifts were sealed by Liu Wensou and used without taking a single thing.

In view of this, there were rumors in Beijing praising Liu Wensou's Qing Dynasty, saying that he did not even use the money and materials given by the emperor to enjoy them, but rather used the gifts from others, and thus his Qing Dynasty reputation became more and more prosperous.

For Liu Chengyou, Liu Wensou has a great reputation. If he looks at it with suspicion, he is suspected of being a show. However, even if it is a show, it is rare to be able to do what he says and do consistently. Furthermore, he is honest and honest. The quality and style of justice should be respected and praised, and "wise men" like Liu Wensou are also needed both inside and outside the government.

However, can it be done well if he is allowed to serve as an official and directly serve as the chief civil affairs officer?

Leaning against the wall of Luan's cab, Liu Chengyou slowly fell into deep thought, with a little hesitation on his face. Perhaps he didn't realize it himself, but he actually had a little prejudice against these famous celebrities. He always felt that their peers Show off your virtues to boast your false reputation.

After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and looked outside. The bright sunshine was a bit dazzling. The brightness and heat seemed to dispel some malicious speculations and prejudices in his mind.

He shook his head slightly, rubbed his eyes, and muttered: "What's wrong with me? Under such a great reputation, there must be no dishonest people, and there are no shortage of talented people among honest people."

After muttering, Liu Chengyou silently made a decision. At least he should be given a chance to Liu Wensou, otherwise he would have to veto it for any reason. On the other hand, letting Liu Wensou go to Huaixi, no matter how bad it is, would not be possible. He will become a corrupt official...

As for the position of Daming Mansion, it was proposed that Wang Zhu, the magistrate of Sizhou, should be transferred. This proposal surprised Liu Chengyou even more. It seemed that the ministers were trying to show their favor to the emperor. They all knew that Wang Zhu was a person who had gone out before the emperor, and it seemed that he was While making a deal, Wang Zhu transferred a great name, and Liu Wensou was appointed as Huaixi.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou called out: "Zhang Dejun, call Guo Tong!"

Before long, Guo Tong, as the uncle of the state, was ordered to run quickly to the side of Luan Jia, quickly kept up with the speed of the imperial cavalry, and greeted him through the window: "See your majesty, what are your orders?"

Seeing how hard he was walking and running, Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "Get in the car!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After boarding the car, it turned out that Guo Wei's family was strict and he ran vigorously for a while. His breath was unstable. In front of Liu Chengyou, he didn't dare to take a breath to avoid losing his etiquette. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but smile: "I see you are holding it in, relax. We are all a family, there is no need to be so restrained!"

Seeing the kind face of the emperor's brother-in-law, Guo Tong slowly relaxed and responded: "I dare not be rude!"

"You guys, you are so sneaky and careful, as if I can eat people. Am I so scary?" Liu Chengyou said, glancing at Guo Tong.

After saying that, Liu Chengyou handed the approved memorial to Guo Tong and said: "In reply to Tokyo, Liu Wensou will be appointed as Huaixi. As for Daming Prefecture, Shi Dejun of Yunzhou will be appointed. As for the other people involved this time. Changes in positions are subject to the approval of the Ministry of Personnel and there is no need to report them again!"

"Yes!" Guo Tong responded.

In the end, Liu Chengyou did not agree to appoint Wang Zhu as the governor of Daming Prefecture. The reason was very simple. He believed that Wang Zhu was not qualified enough. He was appointed as the magistrate of the state, which was an exceptional promotion. It was just an ordinary state prefecture, but Daming Prefecture could be It is not an ordinary place. In terms of administrative status, it is lower than Kaifeng, Luoyang and Taiyuan, and the same as Jingzhao, Yangzhou, Hezhong and Zhending.

As for Shi Dejun, on the one hand, he had ruled Yunzhou for many years and it was time to move to another place. On the other hand, his talents and achievements were quite good. Of course, the other consideration was that he was the son of Zheng Guogong Shi Hongzhao.

Shi Hongzhao had been in Lingzhou for some years, guarding the western frontier and suppressing the Rong and Di. He was a scourge on the inside and a fierce tiger on the outside. He had many functions. In addition to the usual praise and rewards, he Besides, only Yin and his descendants can make him work harder and feel at ease.

"Don't leave in a hurry yet!" Seeing Guo Tong's resignation, Liu Chengyou waved his hand to stop him.

Hearing this, the buttocks that had just been raised fell down again. Guo Tong cupped his hands and said, "What other instructions does your Majesty have?"

Liu Chengyou looked toward the northwest and said: "We are almost at Qinghe, and we will go straight to Cangzhou, but we are getting further and further away from Xingzhou! Last year, I promised Guo Ning to visit my wife with her during my northern tour. Weng.

But now it seems that it is inconvenient to divert. Therefore, I am going to let you and Guo Ning divert to Yaoshan to visit the woman, and then go north to Zhending Mansion to wait for me. By the way, I will also express my condolences to his old man. Bring my blessings..."

After learning what the emperor meant, Guo Tong suddenly understood. He described Shu Zhang and said with a touch of emotion: "Your Majesty still cares about my father so much during his northern tour. I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my father!"

"Hey! I told you, we are all one family, it doesn't have to be like this!" Liu Chengyou looked kind and waved his hand: "I have prepared some gifts and will bring them with me when the time comes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Besides, I can't go with Guo Ning, which is considered a broken promise. I'm afraid she will feel aggrieved. Please comfort her!" Liu Chengyou said again, looking very attentive.

Guo Tong immediately said: "Yes!"
