Because he only planned to stay in Yuancheng for one day, Liu Chengyou's schedule was very full on that day.
At dawn, he got up and washed, took several princes to practice martial arts, then took a bath and ate. At Chen time, she and her mother and son went to the "Linggong Temple" to worship Gao Xingzhou. The queen, Concubine Ning and the other three princes also went together to show their respect for the heroes and elders.
After the worship, the whole family went to visit the wells in Yuancheng City to observe the sentiments, customs and sentiments of the people. In the afternoon, he led the princes, accompanied by Guo Congyi and Du Si Zhang Xun, to review Yuancheng's army. This was Liu Chengyou's practice.
As an important city in Hebei Province, Yuancheng has been stationed with heavy troops since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Even in these years, the military strength has been continuously reduced. Today, there are still 8,000 standing troops. Among them, there are 6,000 imperial troops and 2,000 newly-organized capital troops under the command department. In the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, apart from Tokyo, this kind of standing army belongs to Yuancheng, and even Luoyang cannot compare with it.
The military appearance of Yuancheng's army is still very majestic. Guo Congyi is still good at commanding and training troops. As for Zhang Xun, he was transferred here after taking Jinghu, and his style is even tougher.
Of course, it is inevitable that the combat strength of the Yuancheng garrison has gradually degraded to the second rate of the Han Dynasty. Although there are many old soldiers, many of them are sergeants who have been in peace for a long time, unlike other armies that participated in various wars during the Qianyou period. Even if rotational garrisoning was implemented, during the elimination and relocation, most of the elite soldiers and generals remained in Tokyo and other borders. Although Yuancheng held an important position, it still inevitably fell into a secondary position in terms of military affairs.
Among the several princes accompanying him, Liu Fang was, not surprisingly, the most curious and excited. After all, he was known to be fond of martial arts and a good soldier. In Tokyo, although I often come into contact with the military, and the Ouchi sergeants in the palace are all elite soldiers, but this is the first time for this little kid to experience the spectacular scene of concentrated drills, display of military appearance, and inspection.
Looking at the excited little face of the fourth prince and the bright and dark pupils, Liu Chengyou felt happy to see the success. No matter what, it would not be a bad thing if there were one or two among the princes who knew how to fight.
After reviewing the army, Liu Chengyou went on a tour outside Damingfu City. It is often said that a king should govern a country based on farming, and an official should govern by admonishing students. Now that it is spring plowing time, it is also in line with his habit to go out to observe the agricultural conditions.
The land near the river is flat and fertile, and the cultivation situation is good. It has always been a granary. In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it gave the court great support in terms of finance, taxation, and grain. Every year, the food and salary for assisting the northern frontier army was more than a year. small amount.
The acres of fields are like chessboards, laid flat on the land of Hebei, with criss-crossing furrows and ridges in a well-proportioned pattern. It was the farming season, and there were busy farming scenes everywhere. The green crops in the fields made Liu Chengyou feel relaxed and happy. He was still very satisfied with the agricultural administration under the Daming Mansion.
After a day of running around, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel tired. When he returned to the palace, it was already evening, and Dou Yi and Li Huan had been waiting for a long time.
After entering, he drank a cup of tea to quench his thirst and relieve his fatigue. Looking at the two people standing respectfully in front of the emperor, Liu Chengyou asked: "I heard that you two left the palace yesterday, and the Yamen did not go either. They left the government affairs and went directly back to the house. Well, what’s the point of this?”
"Back to Your Majesty, I will reflect on myself and move forward. I am really ashamed and regretful. I have no place to stay at home to deal with my crime!" Dou Yi responded.
Li Huan nodded, with a look of shame on his face, probably saying, I am the same.
"Don't you two have different tempers and have many different opinions? Why do you agree on this matter and want to go together?" Liu Chengyou smiled faintly: "I haven't decided how to deal with you yet, so you have suspended yourselves first. ? One day he is in office, and one day he plans his affairs. Even if it only lasts for more than one day, who is responsible for delaying and neglecting official duties? If it involves the interests of urgent matters, life and death, and who is responsible for the delay? ?”
A few simple questions sent chills down the spines of the two of them. Dou Yi even had the feeling of making one wrong step after another, as if no matter what he did, he would arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction.
A rather handsome face, swollen and a little red, I don't know whether it is nervousness or shame. They apologized simultaneously, but Liu Chengyou showed obvious impatience with this performance, which made the two of them even more at a loss.
"After I reviewed the army, I went on a tour under Daming Mansion. I did not neglect the farming work. Farmers in the head of Guizhou, although they did not sing praises to you, the governor of Daming Mansion, at last they did not curse or complain!" Liu Chengyou looked at Li Huan, He said calmly: "Yesterday, I also checked the household registration, land acres, taxes, and warehouses of Daming Mansion. The situation was quite good. Speaking of things, you, the governor, did a pretty good job!"
Hearing what Liu Chengyou said, Li Huan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "I'm so embarrassed!"
"You have been serving as a daimyo for several years. When it is time to be transferred, you will go north with me first. The specific arrangements are to be determined!" Liu Chengyou said to Li Huan.
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Huan responded, half of the stone hanging in his heart had fallen.
"As for Dou Qing!" Liu Chengyou looked at Dou Yi again: "You go to Qin Feng, you are still the inspector, in charge of Xing Ming's affairs! Before the successor takes office, you will be responsible for the daily affairs of the Taoist government!"
"Yes!" Although she was inevitably disappointed, Dou Yi still obeyed the order.
Compared with Hebei, Qinfeng is poor, sparse and remote, so there is basically no comparison. However, it is located in a strategic location, a base for conquering Shu, and a place where talents are put to use. It is a place where ambitious ministers can go. On the other hand, at least he has a place to live, and Li Huan is still considered a "candidate". Although he is lucky enough to accompany him on his way north, that is not necessarily a good thing.
After Dou and Li retreated, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but shook his head, with a dull expression. The chief officer of the Taoist Palace was transferred together. It is still an important place like Damingfu. It is conceivable that a political turmoil is inevitable. As for the impact, it is inevitable Spread to the DPRK.
After much deliberation, Liu Chengyou summoned Hu Zai and directly ordered: "I told you to remember it!"
"yes!"
In front of the emperor, Hu Zai acted as usual. After receiving the order, he quickly sat down, spread out the paper, lifted his sleeves, held a pen and dipped in ink, showing elegance in every move.
"The decree was sent to Tokyo. Dou Yi, the chief envoy of the West Road in Hebei Province, moved to Qinfeng to serve as the inspector. Li Huan, Yin of the Daming Prefecture, resigned and followed him on the northern tour. The post of chief envoy was moved from Dou Zhengu of the Huaixi Road to Huaixi. For the Dao and Daming Mansion, candidates are recommended by the Government Hall and Nanya Bureau..." Liu Chengyou said: "Well, pay attention to your wording and be stricter!"
Hu Zai was a little shy, but he nodded quickly. After recording the summary, he thought about it for a moment, then picked up the pen and finished it in one go. It is presented to Liu Chengyou at a glance, with more than two hundred words, fully demonstrating his writing style and talent.
"Hu Zai! Your literary talents live up to your reputation! In terms of writing articles, there are only a few people in this dynasty who are as talented and quick as you!" Glancing at Hu Zai, Liu Chengyou chuckled.
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary!" Hu Zai's thin face became a little more rosy, and he seemed to be in better spirits.
"However, this official edict is different from an article. It is more important to have a concise introduction, point out the gist, and make the political situation clear and free of errors!" Liu Chengyou said.
Hearing this, the smile on Hu Zai's face froze slightly, he thought for a moment, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty's teachings are correct, I will rewrite it immediately!"
"No need!" Waving his hand, Liu Chengyou said: "After using the seal, send it to Tokyo by express delivery!"
"yes!"
"Of course, the book of destiny cannot be without a literary talent like you!" A literati is a literati. Seeing that he was slightly upset, Liu Chengyou added.
After hearing what the emperor said, Hu Zai regained some of his energy. The imperial edicts and official documents each have their own formats, including some important appointments. The documents are all written by the bachelors and scholars in the imperial court. When you take them out, it will basically be a good article.
"Your Majesty!" Later, Shi Shouxin came to report: "Each battalion has been prepared. I don't know when to set off tomorrow?"
"Just choose Chenshi!" Liu Chengyou ordered without thinking: "You can inform the accompanying generals and staff!"
"yes!"
Then he looked at Xiang Zhang Dejun and said, "The concubines, princes and palace officials should also notify us to avoid any confusion!"
"I understand, little one!"
