Without talking much about Murong Yanchao's situation, Liu Chengyou asked frequently: "Hou Yi is working hard to rectify public security issues in Tokyo. How is the reaction from the public?"
Although Hou Yi had already reported to Liu Chengyou, it would be obvious if he listened to it at the same time. The existence of Wude Si allowed him to understand the situation from multiple perspectives.
"It can be said to be very effective!" There was no conflict of interest with Hou Yi. Li Shaoyou said directly without hesitation: "In Kaifeng Mansion, several officials and government officials who were deeply resented by the people were dismissed and questioned. Those who were active between the two cities The scoundrels were severely suppressed, and Hou Fuyin announced to the outer city again to reiterate the management regulations. Nowadays, the market is like a breeze blowing, and order is in order. "
"It's such a cold winter, and there's such a clear wind?" Liu Chengyou said meaningfully.
"The people of Tokyo have recently been praising Marquis Yin for his impartiality and impartiality in enforcing the law."
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but mutter: "There is a Hou Qingtian in Kaifeng? Haha..."
"Whenever, I want to leave the palace and see with my own eyes what the market is like." Liu Chengyou sighed quietly and said.
He has always boasted of being considerate of people's sentiments and aware of their sufferings. However, after becoming emperor, he became more and more disconnected from the people. Especially after he put down the rebellion and returned the capital, his sense of alienation from the bottom became even stronger.
Right now, after staying in the deep palace for a long time, Liu Chengyou didn't have a clear enough idea of what was going on inside and outside the capital, in the cities and countryside.
The country is governed by memorials, which is generally the case. Even if the Wude Secretary reports the public situation and public opinion from time to time, Liu Chengyou still cannot be reassured.
Hearing Liu Chengyou's sigh at this time, Li Shaoyou immediately said: "If the officials go out of the palace to inspect, the people will definitely feel the emperor's compassion and love for the people."
"What can you see when the imperial chariot drives the attendants?" Liu Chengyou asked.
Li Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, but because of his alertness, he also understood. He immediately remembered that Liu Chengyou went out on patrol incognito, and subconsciously advised: "In the market place, there are many places, and the official has the honor of ninety-five years, shouldering the responsibility of the country and the country." It’s so serious that we really shouldn’t take this dangerous evil lightly!”
"Tokyo, the most benign place under the emperor's feet, why has it become a dangerous place?" Liu Chengyou frowned and scolded.
Seeing this, Li Shaoyou hurriedly said: "I made a mistake, please forgive me."
"If you don't know the people, how can you know the hardships of the people? Why, like Yang Bin's foreign ministers, do you hope that I can guard the forbidden palace and rule from the top? Liu Chengyou continued to press, his tone became more severe.
After hearing the rebuke, Li Shaoyou felt quite wronged. He was just a daily loyalist and showed his concern for the emperor. I don't know where Liu Chengyou got such a big reaction. However, although he was slandering in his heart, he still said honestly on his face: "I don't mean this. It's just that the Holy Master does not take advantage of the danger and is lucky. I am just worried about the safety of the official family."
As for Liu Chengyou, of course he was not that irritable, he just took the opportunity to beat and shock Li Shaoyou. This cousin of his clearly belongs to the type of person who "doesn't have to pay attention to the house for three days." He is a very smart person, with a flexible mind and shrewd political vision, but he is lustful, irritable, aloof, and strong-willed. There are many memorials written by Li Shaoyou and Wude Si directly on the Yushitai.
"That's all, I don't know my cousin's loyalty." His face changed quickly, and Liu Chengyou comforted Li Shaoyou again, even the title was less formal.
After all, among all the ministers in the court now, the one whom Liu Chengyou trusts the most is Li Shaoyou. Otherwise, even if there was family and friendship, Liu Chengyou would not leave Wude Division under his control. At present, Wu Desi's power is still expanding.
Feeling Liu Chengyou's soft and soothing tone, Li Shaoyou's depressed mood eased a little and remained respectful.
After briefly explaining the work of Wude Division, Li Shaoyou was allowed to leave. Liu Chengyou picked up the book again and started reading, quickly becoming engrossed. The book I read was "Records of Zhuangzong", which was presented by Taichang Qing Zhang Zhao, a great book collector who also participated in the compilation.
Liu Chengyou was particularly interested in Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty. After all, he was the emperor most likely to unify China except Guo Rong in the history of the "Five Dynasties". At the same time, I also hold a complicated mood, examine its merits and demerits, investigate its gains and losses, and most importantly, use it as a lesson.
What is recorded in "Zhuang Zong's Records" is basically true. There are very few calligraphy techniques in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the description of his merits and demerits can be very detailed. Of course, we don’t rule out the historian, who is a little bit darker. If Li Cunxu was not mediocre enough in his later period, how could he highlight Li Siyuan's integrity in seizing the country?
No matter what, in general, Liu Chengyou still feels sorry for Li Cunxu.
"Official, Mr. Feng wants to see you!" Liu Chengyou was immersed in the careful study of "Zhuang Zong's Records" when Zhang Dejun carefully interrupted him.
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou moved and changed his position, put down the book, and took a deep breath: "I rarely have free time today!"
When it came to practicing calligraphy and reading, first it was Bian Guichen, then Li Shaoyou, and now Feng Dao was here again. Even in the middle of winter, he was not lazy at all.
Listening to his tone, Zhang Dejun asked tentatively: "Do you want to thank Mr. Feng for meeting him?"
Since taking the throne, Liu Chengyou has never avoided meeting his ministers, and directly responded: "Xuan!"
"Chen Fengdao——"
"No need!" Facing Old Fox Feng and saluting, Liu Chengyou raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down, as he had old arms and legs.
Liu Chengyou was also direct and asked: "What's the matter with Feng Qing?"
After hearing the question, Feng Dao Lao's face showed joy in his modest smile, but he still pondered it for a while and said in circles: "Your Majesty, since the death of Concubine Geng Chen, no new person has been added to the palace, so the imperial court is empty. Your Majesty is only blessed by the saint and the noble concubine. Now, your Majesty has only one son, the eldest prince Xu, and his bloodline is really weak, which is not good for the inheritance of the country..."
Liu Chengyou's expression suddenly showed a displeased look, and he glanced at the old fox lightly: "I am not even ten years old. Your Majesty and others often say that I am rich and young, and advise me not to be impatient. It is too early to talk about inheritance now! "
The emperor seemed to be dissatisfied, but Feng Dao did not panic. He was as cautious as before and said with his hands: "The imperial family is not rich in branches and leaves, which will eventually be detrimental to the consolidation of the country. The old minister just suggested that your majesty's palace should be filled with new people."
Hearing what he said, Liu Chengyou glanced at the old fox seriously and straightened up: "What is Feng Qing's purpose? Just say it bluntly, no need to beat around the bush!"
Facing Liu Chengyou's gaze, Feng Dao said: "Your Majesty, Yong'an Army Commander Zhe has a grandson from Ruan's knee. His name is Saihua. He has a good appearance and an extraordinary intelligence. This time he comes to Beijing with Commander Zhe. Your Majesty may Can be stored in the palace..."
Hearing what Feng Dao said, Liu Chengyou was not too surprised. He seemed to understand that this old fox was actually a matchmaker for him.
However, the image of the young girl sitting next to Zhe Congruan at the Winter Solstice banquet that day immediately came to mind. Her heroic figure and pretty face were still in a drunken state. I still have the impression now.
A look of deep thought appeared on Liu Chengyou's face. Feng Dao didn't say anything more, just waiting for Liu Chengyou to consider.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Dao. This old fox actually took the initiative to mention this matter, which was not like his past style.
"Mr. Zhe, have you visited Feng Qing at home?" Liu Chengyou asked.
Hearing his question, Feng Daolao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he replied: "I dare not hide anything from Your Majesty. Lieutenant Zhe did come to ask me to tell you about Xiang's matter. I will use it to benefit my family, country and the world, so I dare not refuse." "
What Feng Dao said was beautiful.
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou nodded slightly and said leisurely: "No wonder the father-in-law came to Beijing this time and brought his girl with him..."
