Speaking of which, Liu Zhiyuan left Hedong and entered the Central Plains to establish the Han Dynasty. Liu Chong guarded the Longxing area of Taiyuan for almost two years. He did a good job, especially in the area of Jinzhong with Taiyuan as the center. There was no disaster or chaos. The situation between the government and the people was always good. relatively stable.
Of course, it is not how strong Liu Chong's garrisoning ability is. With the foundation laid by Liu Zhiyuan before and the proper arrangements for the Hedong states before his departure, the intrusion of the Khitans was like an itch in Daibei. The disturbances of the Han Dynasty had their own center. Worrying about headaches has nothing to do with him. Over in Hedong, as long as there is a middle-to-lower talent, no matter how troublesome they are, they can achieve "good" political achievements.
Liu Chong did the same thing. In fact, during the two years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chong's life in Hedong could be described as moist.
The support for the imperial court in all aspects of human, financial and material resources has always been quite strong, especially during the year when Liu Zhiyuan was in power. Of course, he did not dare to have much resistance at all. Hedong could be said to be bleeding blood to support the imperial court at that time.
When Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, the intensity was naturally reduced. After all, Hedong also required development and food and clothing. Even so, the financial and tax officials honestly went to Tokyo to support them. Liu Chengyou and Li Shouzhen, and Liu Chong also sent a batch of grain and grass to the army.
Although Liu Chong criticized Liu Chengyou's employment and governance. However, generally speaking, Hedong, the land of Longxing, has not yet become a threat and burden to the imperial court.
From Wang Zhang's report at this moment, Liu Chengyou certainly smelled a hint of disharmony. The important ministers in the palace looked at it and found that they were not fools. They could more or less detect the inaccuracies in Liu Chong's report. After all, last winter, Hedong Ke reported the disaster to the court...
Of course, smart people like Guo Wei, Feng Dao, and Zhao Ying could not help but think about things going south, whether they were traveling south with them or not. No one expressed their opinions rashly. Du Ke looked at Liu Chengyou and watched the emperor ponder.
From the bottom of his heart, Liu Chengyou was not that afraid of Liu Chong, the emperor's uncle, and he had no intention of destroying the relationship between the two parties. However, many things never depend on human will, and now Liu Chengyou needs to consider The key is how to deal with this "unexpected" situation and maintain the relationship between the two parties.
Of course, think of things in the worst direction, such as Liu Chong's rebellion. That possibility is actually not high, although the cost of Jiedu rebellion in this era is very low.
Not to mention other things, Liu Zhiyuan arranged the guards for Xindai, Lanxian and Liaofen in several states east of Hedong. Regardless of their current loyalty to the court, although Liu Chong could suppress them based on his status and official position, if he wanted to lead them to rebel under the current circumstances, the people's hearts would first be divided.
You can think about it this way, but if Liu Chengyou goes too far. Haha, even if it is the end of the "Five Dynasties", do we really need to worry about the vassal towns raising flags to rebel, humiliating the people and slandering the emperor?
Liu Chengyou thought carefully for a while, but his face was not too solemn. He did not give a positive answer to what Wang Zhang reported. Instead, he looked around and said: "The emperor is my biological uncle. He guards Beijing with sincerity and loyalty. He guards the border. The herdsmen have kept the east of the river safe for two years. I intend to make him the king and give him the title, what do you think?"
Although Liu Chengyou's words were questions, his tone was firm and resolute, which did not allow the ministers to feel that there was much room for discussion. No one objected, and they all agreed.
Glancing at Yang Bin, he remained silent. If Yang Bin and others are in power, it is certain that Liu Chong and others will not be able to be crowned kings. The authority and reputation of the clan will increase, which is not a good thing for powerful ministers. This was also the case in original history.
No one objected, so Liu Chengyou ordered: "Prepare an imperial edict at the Academy of Sciences to make Liu Chong, the left-behind envoy in Beijing and He Jiedushi, the Prince of Taiyuan County!"
This king's title is not light. At least, Liu Zhiyuan could be conferred the title of King of Taiyuan by the Jin court back then. Liu Chengyou's idea is to be sealed, but fortunately he should be more generous, and the name is too real.
After saying this, Liu Chengyou changed his posture slightly, but his face still showed a thoughtful look. He knocked on the imperial case and said: "Lingshou Gong, Xingzhou Jiedushi Liu Chengyun, the late emperor raised him like me. My dear brother, I should be named the King of Julu County!"
The ministers had no objections to the conferment of King Liu Chong, and were not even surprised. However, the conferment of Liu Chengyun really surprised them. However, if you think about it carefully, Liu Chengyun is qualified. After all, Liu Chengxun has won the title of king as the emperor's younger brother.
After saying that, looking at Liu Chengyou's expression, he was still thinking, and after a few breaths, he asked: "The training envoy of the Fenzhou regiment, is it Xue Qiong?"
"Exactly!" After a pause, Li Tao answered.
There are so many officials and generals in the world, but Liu Chengyou still keeps in mind the military and political leaders such as military control, observation, and defense of the various states of the Han Dynasty.
Xue Qiong was the former governor of Liaozhou. When Liu Chengyou marched into Luzhou, he also supplied food and grass to the Longqi Army. Although Yang Ye lost face among them, after entering Bian, he was granted the title of "Xue Qiong" because of his contribution to the transshipment. Fenzhou defense envoy.
Liu Chengyou was more straightforward this time and said: "Transfer to Bozhou and serve as defense envoy!"
"What about Fenzhou?" It could be seen that Liu Chengyou seemed to be making some preparations, and Li Tao followed closely.
Liu Chengyou said: "Let Liu Chengjun, the commander of the Yamen capital in Beijing, be the defense envoy of Fenzhou!"
Now all the ministers felt the importance of Liu Chengyou's "sincerity". To be more specific, Liu Chong's father and son were all promoted to nobility. In fact, Liu Chengyou's generous reward was not only to appease Liu Chong, but also to declare to the world that although there was an imperial uncle in the south, this big man still belonged to the Liu family and should not be underestimated!
After handling the matter, Liu Chengyou felt exhausted and wanted to break up the discussion, but Wang Jun stood up. The movements are windy and reveal a distinct style. Wang Jun's expression was very serious. Wang Zhang and the Liu family and his son were rewarded one after another. He thought that the court had done a lot of important things, and Liu Chengyou didn't express much, which was really bothering him.
"Your Majesty, this is the imperial army establishment plan for Xijing, Huazhou, Chanzhou and Yedu compiled by the Privy Council and the Guards Department. Your Majesty, please take a look at it!" Wang Jun was also prepared and took out a memorial from his sleeve.
This was the charter that he took the lead in making when Liu Chengyou left Beijing and Guo Wei was away.
Although his eyebrows were downcast, Wang Jun said with strong confidence in his tone: "If your Majesty has no objections, I can order the generals to implement it!"
Liu Chengyou frowned slightly, gestured to Zhang Dejun, took the memorial, and while browsing, asked: "Have you ever sent someone to inspect the situation of the Forbidden Army?"
Wang Jun said: "I have ordered Wei Chengzhi to go and inspect the military situation in person!"
Nodding his head, seemingly satisfied with Wang Jun's efficiency, Liu Chengyou responded: "Wang Qing is really capable!"
However, he still cited physical fatigue as an excuse and did not give a specific answer.
The division and reorganization of the Forbidden Army in Tokyo has been completed, and it has been very effective. Otherwise, Liu Chengyou would not have dared to leave Beijing without permission. However, the imperial troops stationed outside the capital are no less responsible for the garrison than at the emperor's feet. They are also many in number and must be cautious as they cannot cause chaos.
Of course, no matter how cautious you are, you still have to proceed. It is impossible for the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army outside Beijing to remain "non-staff" for a long time.
However, this Wang Jun, without asking for instructions when Liu Chengyou and Guo Wei were not in Beijing, came up with a reorganization plan on his own. This kind of approach...
