After crossing Yishui and entering Waqiao Pass, I got off the bus and stood in front of the military yamen. I looked at the layout. As a city gate where the army dominates and civilians assist, the yamen's temperament is obviously different. The words on the plaque are all revealing. Iron blood and chill.
Standing firmly on the square bluestone ground, Liu Chengyou glanced at Luo Yanxuan, who was upright, and said: "Please help me, the general from the north, to support me, thank you for your hard work!"
"Your Majesty is far away in Longting, thousands of miles away, and cannot serve you. It is an honor for the general to be able to serve you now and do the work of dogs and horses!" Luo Yanxuan said.
"I'm so glad you have such a heart!" Liu Chengyou said.
"The yamen have been tidied up, please move your Majesty!" Luo Yanxuan said with his hands in hand.
Behind, the queen, concubines and nobles followed, accompanied by palace attendants, and the whole family stood together neatly. Before taking two steps, Liu Chengyou suddenly turned around and called: "An Shouzhong!"
"Here, what are your orders, Your Majesty?" An Shouzhong, who was fair and handsome and dressed in black armor, stood up.
An Shouzhong, who is now twenty-five years old, has now become the commander of the right wing of the Longqi Army due to his contribution to the Huainan War and his many years of experience in the imperial court. This time, he was specifically named by Liu Chengyou to accompany him to the north. Of course, Liu Chengyou This was done out of consideration for An Shenqi and to give the father and son a chance to get together. After all, An Shenqi was an only son at a very old age.
Pointing to the Luan Jia parked behind him, Liu Chengyou ordered: "You lead a group of people and drive this car north along the official road to meet King Yan. After receiving him, let him ride the imperial car south and tell him that I am here Wait for him in Guan Nei!"
"Yes!" An Shouzhong responded without hesitation.
On the sidelines, the generals from the north who heard this order were a little surprised. They felt that the emperor was a little too generous to Zhao Kuangzan, so he actually greeted him with a royal chariot and offered him a ride.
As for An Shenqi, he couldn't help but frown. He couldn't figure out the emperor's intention. Was he to show favor to paralyze Zhao Kuangzan to facilitate his actions, or was he determined to continue the favor and not deal with it?
His thoughtful eyes carefully passed over the emperor's face, and he could only see a calm face, and even a little smile could be seen in his expression. Liu Chengyou, on the other hand, walked calmly, among the stars holding the moon, Enter the Yazhong.
In the back office, Liu Chengyou was sitting at the desk, sipping tea soup one mouthful at a time, while Empress Fu was beside her, cooking the tea herself.
Seeing his expression, Fuhou moved gracefully and poured him tea, and couldn't help but ask softly: "Erlang, are you worried?"
"You saw it." Liu Chengyou raised his eyes and looked at the Empress.
Da Fu's jade lips raised a beautiful arc and said: "Your performance is too obvious. You have been married for so many years, and you have rarely been like this. What kind of difficulties and undecisions have you encountered?"
The couple, who know each other well and are in love with each other, have almost no secrets, especially since Liu Chengyou did not deliberately hide it.
Looking at Fu Hou's beautiful and elegant face, Liu Chengyou shook his head and said: "It's not a difficult decision. I have thought clearly about the pros and cons, but I just feel a little depressed in my heart."
"Is it related to the military in the north?" Dafu asked.
Liu Chengyou nodded, but he didn't mean to reveal any details. Seeing this, Dafu didn't ask any more questions. She never forced or opened her mouth about things Liu Chengyou didn't want to say.
After thinking for a while, Da Fu came closer, picked up the tea cup for Liu Chengyou with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Although I don't understand military affairs, I can still see that the soldiers in the north are strong and mighty, and the generals are also very respectful to you. With these loyalty Protect the warriors and protect the country and border areas. I believe there is no difficulty that Erlang cannot solve!"
"That's true!" Liu Chengyou expressed his approval to Empress Fu's words calmly.
In fact, in this short period of time, Liu Chengyou has already thought clearly about not dealing with Youyan or Zhao Kuangzan for the time being. The reason is very simple. Before he flattens the southern countries and completes the "Southern First" strategy, he needs to is stable.
Nowadays, it is not easy to maintain a balanced and stable situation in the north. When there is an established route to follow, it is really inconvenient to cause a chaos.
You know, in addition to inspecting the civil affairs and people's livelihood, his purpose of this northern tour is to appease the morale of the military, strengthen defense, and ensure the stability of the northern border. Under such a premise, how could he choose to take the initiative to cause trouble and break the balance.
It is true that Liu Chengyou was tempted by An Shenqi's suggestion. However, in terms of priorities, in the face of the overall national strategy, Youyan's issue became secondary and needed to be compromised and put aside.
The existence of the Yan Army is a challenge and a drawback to the authority of the imperial court. The longer it goes on, it may become a chronic disease. However, it also has its limitations. There is an upper limit to the growth of its strength. If you want to get rid of the influence of the imperial court, , is difficult.
In the future, once we no longer have any worries about the south, we will be more confident when heading north to solve the problem of Youyan.
Of course, the decision is easy to make, but what makes Liu Chengyou depressed is the feeling of being "controlled by others". Today, Liu Chengyou is no longer the young emperor of the past. He no longer needs to walk on thin ice and be cautious in everything. The behavior of forbearance and retreat has become much less common in recent years.
As time goes by and his age grows, Liu Chengyou's possessiveness and desire for control continue to strengthen, and his style of dealing with things becomes more and more forceful.

As for You Yan's problem, I'm afraid that only Zhao Kuangzan's initiative to return the government and the army will make him feel relieved. As for the other issues, as long as the court needs to use means, it is not the most "perfect" solution. However, as a mature political animal, , Liu Chengyou can also understand what choice Zhao Kuangzan will make and how he will react. However, understanding is understanding, and what he thinks in his heart is another matter.
At the same time, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but think about why An Shenqi took the initiative to bring up the matter of resolving You Yan. After careful consideration, he could only explain it by using his position and seeking his political affairs.
Everyone has their own interests and demands. In recent years, the Han Dynasty has frequently used force in the south, and the results have been brilliant. A large number of generals have been able to emerge, build meritorious services, and shine on the lintel.
How could the soldiers in the north not have ideas about this? As the leader of the Northern Army, An Shenqi naturally needs to express his views. On the other hand, the predecessor He Fujin has contributed to the expansion of public security and the construction of defense lines. He An Shenqi If Qi Beilai fails to make any achievements, he will probably just stay in the position assigned by the capital for a few years and then step down.
If nothing happens to the north in the next few years, it will have nothing to do with him from now on. The Northern Expedition to Khitan, given his age, cannot catch up. Even if he catches up, whether the emperor can use him or not is still a question.
If Youyan's problem can be solved during his term of office, it will also be an opportunity for An Shenqi to improve his family's status in the Han Dynasty.
Similarly, if An Shenqi is placed in the south by Liu Chengyou and takes charge of the matter, he will definitely not care about the Youzhou issue and will probably not even mention it.
