No matter how uncomfortable he felt in his heart, Liu Chengyou carefully read the reorganization plan presented by Wang Jun from beginning to end.
It can be seen that Wang Jun has fully entered the role of his deputy to the privy council. The plan was carefully prepared and very organized. If it were not deliberate, there would be no trouble.
First of all, Liu Chengyou was satisfied. It would be much easier to replace the garrison first, transfer the garrison outside Beijing back to Tokyo, train and eliminate it in Kaifeng, and control it at any time.
This is no longer just a matter of reorganization. Take the Imperial Guards in Hua, Chan, and Daming Prefecture as examples. Most of the Imperial Guards there were ordered to station there when Liu Zhiyuan was in power. Although the time is not too long, Liu Chengyou has been emperor for a full year now, and the Imperial Guards outside Beijing should also go to Tokyo to forge and feel the majesty and grace of today's emperor.
Regardless of character and style, Wang Jun still has two talents in terms of talent. Liu Chengyou knew this, otherwise he would not have thought of transferring Wang Jun to the Privy Council to divide Guo Wei's power.
After thinking about it, Li Shaoyou was ordered to come to see him.
"Official!"
Liu Chengyou closed the memorial in his hand, looked up at Li Shaoyou, and said in a calm tone: "This time in Xuzhou, Wu Desi also did a lot of things, and you tried a lot, but it's inconvenient for me. Commendation!”
"I understand!" Li Shaoyou lowered his shoulders and crossed his hands, his face expressionless.
Liu Chengyou's expression became more relaxed, and his tone took a turn: "In the early days of the establishment of the Wude Division, life was very difficult because of financial difficulties. I heard that you used the wealth to supplement regular funds, wages, and rewards... ..."
Listening to Liu Chengyou's words, as usual, Li Shaoyou subconsciously became nervous. He buried his head as if he wanted to keep a low profile, and responded very respectfully: "The country is in a tight situation, and the officials are in need." Being loyal is the right thing to do!"
Liu Chengyou nodded, with a kind expression on his face, and said: "If all the civil and military officials in this dynasty can serve the country and be kings like my cousin, why should I worry about the world not being governed! However, how can public weapons cost private money? Now that I have If you have a little extra money, I will repay you all the money you have given out before. In addition, I will allocate funds again as a reward for your meritorious service this time!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After hearing this, Li Shaoyou did not refuse, but accepted calmly. He also knew in his heart that there was no need to be polite with this official on this matter, otherwise it would be unsightly.
"How many secret agents does Wude have in the Hedong states?" Liu Chengyou asked after pondering for a while.
Li Shaoyou couldn't help but raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Chengyou, with doubts in his heart, but he still answered quickly: "Wude Division's surveillance and investigation focus is still in Tokyo and Kinki, and Beijing is far away. I only sent five detectives northward. Jinyang..."
There was no doubt in Liu Chengyou's calm tone: "Next, strengthen the intelligence exploration force in the Hedong area!"
"Yes!" Li Shaoyou answered without missing a word.
But at the same time as he obeyed the order, his mind was spinning wildly, pondering Liu Chengyou's thoughts. Of course, he immediately thought of Liu Chong. However, it was not so easy to figure it out at once. Seeing that Liu Chengyou had no intention of explaining, he did not dare to Asked rashly.
"Well... let the detectives from Jinyang find out whether the subordinates in Hedong suffered from winter disaster last year and whether the disaster was serious!" Liu Chengyou ordered again.
As soon as Li Shaoyou agreed, he saw Liu Chengyou's brows almost raised. He took a slight breath and said, "That's it, no need!"
"Yes!" Li Shaoyou's expression became more solemn. He was not used to this feeling of uncertainty. However, the emperor could only endure it for the rest of his life.
After Li Shaoyou stepped back, Liu Chengyou couldn't help shaking his head vigorously, cleared his mind, sighed, and said: "Zhang Dejun, pass on the message, I will personally visit the warehouse in Tokyo tomorrow, and I will accompany you on my iron cavalry, Du Yuhou Yang Ye !”
"yes!"
The landlord's family has a surplus of food. Liu Chengyou, the largest landlord, of course has to go see it with his own eyes, otherwise he will have no peace of mind.
On Li Shaoyou's side, after leaving the palace, he was still thinking by himself. His steps were very slow, but his expression gradually calmed down, as if he had figured out something.
He consciously understood the matter and murmured easily: "While sealing the king's favor, we are also secretly vigilant. Our official family is becoming more and more elusive and intimidating!"
"But, is it the same for me?" Li Shaoyou thought to himself secretly, and the relief on his lips soon disappeared.
We walked to Wudesi and looked at the Yamen located in the corner of the imperial city. Although its location was low-key, it did not hide its increasingly intimidating power. And Li Shaoyou also regained his aura of being a yamen envoy with monopoly power, and entered his territory with the courtesy of a group of guards and yamen subordinates.
Stepping in quickly, the first thing he did was to summon his cronies to arrange things in Hedong and strengthen the supervision force in the north. Things that the emperor personally told him must be done well and quickly. Based on Li Shaoyou's understanding of Liu Chengyou, he couldn't tell when he would suddenly ask about it. If he didn't handle it well then, it wouldn't be good.
...
At dusk, Yang Ye was alone, walking on the road in Tokyo, heading towards his house. Although the steps were slow, they were steady. There was something clearly on Yingwei's face, with both expectation and hesitation. The doors, walls and alleys on both sides moved slowly towards his back.
"The general is back!" The Yang Mansion has a small porch, and one of his subordinates was guarding him. He immediately came forward to greet him.
There were not many people serving in the Yang Mansion. Originally there were only a few soldiers from the old army who followed Yang Ye, and they were always informal. After he got married, he added some women to his family to balance out the excessive yang energy in the house. The additional maidservants came with the dowry of Yang Ye's wife, the Feng family. Even the official family came from the Feng family, so his mansion was more decent.
"Mr. Lang!"
The soft voice woke Yang Ye up from his thoughts. He looked up and saw his wife, Feng, who had just married to him. She was very young, had a gentle temperament, and was obviously a lady.
"Aren't you tired from going on patrol with the officials?" Feng asked with concern.
Today, Yang Ye followed Liu Chengyou to inspect the Tokyo warehouses. The Tokyo treasurer basically visited them all, and was later taken to the arsenal to check out the armaments. Although he walked a lot and the inspection was quite boring, Yang Ye didn't feel tired at all.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ye shook his head and said, "It's nothing! It's just..."
After he finished speaking, he paused.
Seeing this, Mrs. Feng couldn't help being surprised and asked, "Is there anything that embarrasses Mr. Lang?"
Looking at Feng, Yang Ye sighed: "I'm afraid we have to leave Beijing!"
"Huh? What's the official's mission?" Feng was obviously well-trained by Liu Fengdao, and she had some smart insights. She suddenly thought of the inspection: "No wonder, when the official inspects the warehouse, he will call the husband!"
Noticing his wife's smart appearance, Yang Ye nodded and said, "The officials released me from the capital and appointed me as the training envoy of the Daizhou regiment to guard the border!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Feng chuckled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Lang. The official is asking you to make contributions!"
Yang Ye sighed: "I will wholeheartedly repay the kindness of the officials. However, I am afraid that this border guarding will take several years. My wife has not been married to me for a long time, so I have to work with you to be with me." Going to the bitter and cold place of Daizhou, leaving my relatives, I am afraid that I will wrong my wife."
"It doesn't matter!" Feng said with a heartwarming smile: "Lang Jun's future is important, and besides, my grandfather must also support it!"
Yang Ye was not very good at talking about love, but seeing his virtuous wife acting like this, he couldn't help but be moved and subconsciously grabbed his wife's hand.
"My husband has not returned to his hometown for many years. Now that he is going north to take office, he may take the opportunity to return to Linzhou!" Feng said again, her voice still soft: "I am also here to pay my respects to you two elders!"
At the mention of this, Yang Ye's face showed a look of sincerity. He arched his hands towards the imperial city and said, "The officials also allowed me to go back, saying that I was returning home in fine clothes..."
"So, the officials really value your husband!"
The couple had an intimate and understanding conversation. After dinner, Feng Dao sent someone to summon Yang Ye and his wife to come over. But when he learned that his grandson-in-law was sent to the north, the old fox was a little worried and wanted to explain something.
