After the heart-to-heart talk, the relationship between husband and wife seemed to be more harmonious. Liu Chengyou seemed to be tired again. He lay in Da Fu's arms again, enjoying the softness of that delicate body, and gradually fell asleep with the vibration of Luan Jia's forward movement.
No matter how strong a man is, he needs the warm embrace of a woman. Fu Hou's body makes Liu Chengyou feel comfortable and peaceful, and the noble maternal nature in her body also makes him intoxicated.
Empress Fu's jade hands gently arranged Liu Chengyou's simple bun, and suddenly found that there was a little white silk mixed in. Years of hard work, late night clothes and late night meals were not without price.
Liu Chengyou, who was sleeping, looked at Fuhou's arms and crawled into his arms. Seeing this, his beautiful face showed a little distress, and he kept his posture and hugged her gently. His plump breasts continued to give the man a comfortable experience.
When Liu Chengyou woke up, he felt dazed for a short time. When he woke up, he felt that the world was new. As Luan drove outside, Zhang Dejun reported cautiously: "The official's house is still ten miles away from Baima. The governor Li Fang and the military envoy Bai Chongzan are waiting at the left side of the road with their military and political affairs. Shi is going to send someone to ask for instructions!"
"What time is it?" You can see through the curtains that the setting sun is already low and shaky.
"It's past sunset!" Zhang Dejun replied.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou ordered: "Let Shi Shouxin make arrangements to camp outside Baima City, rest for the night, communicate with the government, prepare to cross the river, and set off tomorrow morning to continue going north. In addition, let Li Fang and Bai Chongzan Come see me, and the rest of the welcoming officials and officials can disperse!"
"yes!"
During this northern patrol, Shi Shouxin was appointed as the camp commander and was fully responsible for a series of matters such as security, protection, and camp during the northern patrol. After returning to the capital, Shi Shouxin was worshiped as the commander of the Longqi Army for his contribution in the battle between Qin and Feng. He became another rising star in the army who rose rapidly and rivaled the generals.
"I slept long enough this time. As soon as I closed and opened my eyes, more than an hour passed!" He stood up, yawned, tilted his head and said to the queen.
"You're still too tired!" Dafu responded and sighed again.
Perhaps due to being Liu Chengyou's "meat pad" for a long time, Da Fu's hands and feet were a little numb and had difficulty moving. It was a bit difficult to lower his head to straighten his messy clothes.
Paying attention to the mess and clumsy movements in her arms, Liu Chengyou immediately understood what was going on. He was moved in his heart and took the initiative to reach up and help her tidy up. He was probably in better spirits, and his temperament had also improved. His hands were a little erratic, and he made some slutty movements, such as weighing the plump pair of penises that had previously stirred his heartstrings...
"Speaking of which, the last time I went to White Horse was two years ago!" Liu Chengyou said.
"I will accompany you on your tour to the west in the first year of Emperor Qianyou's reign!" Dafu knocked off Liu Chengyou's restless hand and gave him a look of sadness.
"It's different from this time. The last few times I went on patrol, I was pretentious, bored and heavy. This time, I can relax a little. In addition to patrolling, I also take a look at the great rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty. After so many years, the Palace of Strengths Even though we were there, we didn’t even have a good tour!” Liu Chengyou chuckled.
Seeing his relaxed state, Empress Fu sighed slightly in her heart. She also knew that Liu Chengyou could never really have any leisure time. Traveling around was a bit of a luxury for him.
In the evening, in the imperial tent in the north of Baima City, Liu Chengyou summoned Li Fang and Bai Chongzan, who had been waiting for a long time. Both of them were very excited to see the emperor again. Needless to say, Li Fang was the person who walked out from the emperor's side. He was a close minister who served as the state capital, and the emperor's mark was deeply engraved on his body.
As for Bai Chongzan, he had great respect for Liu Chengyou. Without him, it was just a matter of acquaintance. Judging from Bai Chongzan's achievements over the years, it was not enough to grant him a high title. However, due to his previous achievements in controlling floods and repairing fortresses, Liu Chengyou directly fulfilled his promise and promoted him to the title of Marquis of Ningwu without any discount. For this reason, Bai Chongzan, who was born as a martial artist, completely showed his loyalty to Liu Chengyou. Of course, it was also due to the gradual peace of the country and the reconstruction of loyalty.
"Everyone stand up! Sit down!" Liu Chengyou, wearing a neat dragon robe, sat behind the imperial case. He looked at Li and Bai with a very friendly attitude: "I am going slowly all the way. I have kept you waiting for a long time! Thank you for your hard work! Got it!"
"Your Majesty's words are serious! Welcoming and waiting for you is the duty of a minister. How can we talk about hard work?" Li Fang responded.
Looking at Li Fang and Bai Chongzan, Liu Chengyou chuckled and said: "Time flies by so quickly, but our monarchs and ministers have lived a long life. We have not seen each other, and we miss them so much!"
"Your Majesty, thank you for thinking of me. I am truly honored!" Bai Chongzan responded.
"Bai Qing, you are getting more and more handsome!" Liu Chengyou said to him.
"Your Majesty has also become more heroic and majestic, which is impressive!" Bai Chongzan smiled and complimented.
Liu Chengyou also became happy. This kind of truth-telling, sincere and natural, really made people feel happy.
Smiling slightly, Liu Chengyou said to Li Fang: "Huazhou is an important transportation thoroughfare, guarding the gateway to Tokyo. It has an important geography and a large population. In the two years you have ruled this state, the people's livelihood is stable, the crops are abundant, and the political achievements are well-known. Excellent, I’m paying attention too!”
After receiving Liu Chengyou's praise, Li Fang smiled like a gentleman, cupped his hands and said humbly: "I am just following your Majesty's teachings to govern the people!"
It can be seen that Li Fang's entire temperament has changed during his two years as a local official. He has become much smoother and more sophisticated. Just like Liu Chengyou expected of him, his abilities can only be truly demonstrated after he has gained local experience and let his political achievements speak for himself.
Now he can rest assured that he has practical talents and is not just a talker. Liu Chengyou has always believed that good writing may not necessarily lead to good officialdom, but Li Fang did not disappoint him.
Li Fang is not yet thirty-two years old, and Liu Chengyou has already thought about his future career arrangements. If nothing else happens, after his term in Huazhou expires, he will be promoted to a Taoist official and move around the capital. After serving two or three terms, ten years later, he was still in his early forties. At that time, you can also worship the prime minister and become the backbone of the court.
If Li Fang knew that the emperor had taken such pains for him, he might be very moved. Of course, this kind of "arrangement" cannot be explained directly to him. After all, everything is uncertain and an accident may occur.
At the same time, for "potential stocks" like Li Fang, Liu Chengyou still has several favorite candidates, such as Wang Pu, Lu Yin, Wang Zhu, Zhao Huo, and Zhao Pu. But how many people can reach that position in the future? , is also undecided.
Without concealing the admiration in Li Fang's eyes, Liu Chengyou encouraged him: "If you don't have the ability, the heart, and the love for the people, even if I give you many warnings, what's the use? There's no need to be humble, I I am very satisfied with what you have done in Huazhou. You still need to keep up your efforts. I will still be of great use to you!"
This hint is already considered naked. Li Fang immediately stood up and paid homage: "Thank you for your majesty's trust. I can only repay you with my wholehearted loyalty!"
Beside him, Bai Chongzan couldn't help but be envious as he watched the scene of the monarch and his ministers singing in harmony. However, there are some opportunities that cannot be forced. After decades of hard work on the battlefield and in the officialdom, this veteran has also realized something.
Probably noticing the envious look in Bai Chongzan's eyes, Liu Chengyou did not ignore him and said to him: "Bai Qing has spent many years guarding the country, stationed in important places from south to north, and has always fulfilled his duties loyally. It is very rare to work hard without complaining. This time, you will step down as the Yicheng Army Envoy and follow me on the northern tour!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing this, Bai Chongzan was immediately overjoyed. The opportunity to accompany him did not come often. As for the position of Yicheng's military envoy, he didn't care that much and believed that the emperor would make other arrangements.
However, he still couldn't help but asked Liu Chengyou: "I wonder where your Majesty will be able to use your ministers in the future?"
This gentleman was sincere, and Liu Chengyou was happy and said, "We will find out when we get to the north!"
The monarch and his ministers exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the chamberlain came to inform them that the dinner was ready. The Queen, Concubines Gui and Ning, and the princes were all waiting. Liu Chengyou invited Li and Bai to have a banquet, but Li Fang declined, saying that he still needed to mobilize ships and manpower to prepare for the northern crossing tomorrow, and Liu Chengyou agreed.
As for Bai Chongzan, he participated in the royal dinner with a face full of honor. Although it was not a delicacy and was a bit restrained, he could not hide his joy.
