Suicheng County originally belonged to Yizhou, but later as the Han army's defense line moved northward, it became the garrison of the Northern Army. The imperial court used it to fortify the city and set up dangers to prevent the Khitan, and it was the garrison of the Baoding Army, with an army of three thousand.
The imperial commander only stayed in Suixian for two days to inspect the Baoding Army. Just as Dong Zunjie expected, Liu Chengyou gave a high evaluation of the Baoding Army's military appearance, morale, training, military equipment, and city defense. The recognition of his ability in commanding troops and horses made Dong Zunyue happy.
Liu Chengyou told Dong Zunjie that Zhao Kuangyin had recommended him to him, saying that Dong Zunjie was a rare general who knew military strategies, was open-minded, and could be entrusted with great tasks.
At that time, Liu Chengyou observed Dong Zunzui's expression, which included surprise, memories, melancholy, and unwillingness. Of course, it all turned into a ray of relief in the end. Obviously, Zhao Kuangyin's evaluation of Dong Zunyin surprised him.
Knowing that Dong Zunzui didn't like to study, before leaving, Liu Chengyou specifically told him to study more and used Zhao Kuangyin to stimulate him, saying that if he didn't know how to read, he would never be a general but a commander. In addition, he gave him several historical records revised by the three libraries that he carried with him.
Liu Chengyou was very kind to Dong Zunyu, and judging from Dong Zunyi's feedback, the effect was very good.
Going south from Sui County, a hundred and sixty miles away, we reach Puyin County in Qizhou. On the not-so-smooth road, the team was walking along, surrounded by lush greenery and a lush summer scene.
The scene was very quiet, except for the chirping of birds and insects, there were the footsteps of soldiers, the crushing of wheels, and the sounds of the camp. After lazily waking up from his sleep, Liu Chengyou paid attention to the environment outside. The sun was setting dimly and it was already not late.
He knocked on the carriage and asked, "Who is on duty outside?"
Zhang Dejun was waiting outside. Hearing the sound, he hurriedly responded: "You are a young man. What are your orders from the officials?"
"Where are you?" Liu Chengyou asked.
"Back to Guan's house, we will reach Puyin County in less than five miles!"
"I'm awake, so I'll take advantage of the opportunity!" Liu Chengyou said, "Inform Shi Shouxin to rest for the night in Puyin!"
"yes!"
Blinking his slightly hazy eyes, he seemed to be able to see the light dust in the air. His eyes moved and fell on the lady beside him. Because she was in the palace, Concubine Gao's clothes were relatively thin, which was Liu Chengyou's favorite "hazy outfit". The peaks and mountains were condensed and the valleys were deep.
Sensing Liu Chengyou's unrestrained gaze, Concubine Gao seductively covered her private parts and said slightly, "Where are you looking?"
His actions were even more alluring, and he was so familiar with them that Liu Chengyou couldn't move his eyes away and said with a smile: "Appreciate the wonderful figure of my lady Gao..."
Biting her red lips lightly, her eyes revealed her eyes, and there was a little confusion on her reddish face: "Why are the officials so frivolous?"
"When love comes, how can we talk about frivolity?" Liu Chengyou made a sudden attack, and suddenly took Concubine Gao into his arms, raised his hands and asked with a smile: "What, do you like this?"
Concubine Gao's body trembled as she was groped, she gasped and whispered: "Guan family, stop making trouble, this is not the right place..."
After a while of hand addiction, Liu Chengyou just let go of the palace shirt and messed up the imperial concubine, collapsed on her lap wantonly, and said casually: "You are becoming less and less provocative."
The ruddy color on her jade face became a little thicker, and the imperial concubine's tone contained a hint of shame and anger: "It's not because you are playing tricks on me, as if you are talking about how sexy I am."
An ambiguous atmosphere filled Luan Jia's interior.
After flirting with Concubine Gao for a while, Liu Chengyou shrugged his nose vigorously, as if he was sniffing something. Concubine Gao just said that he was still restless, and her pretty face turned red again.
However, this time it was indeed a misunderstanding.
"Puyin is worthy of being the medicine capital of the north. The air seems to be filled with the fragrance of medicine." Liu Chengyou said.
"Really?" Concubine Gao also wrinkled her nose and said, "Why didn't I smell it?"
"I think so, then yes!" Liu Chengyou smiled slightly.
“Whatever the officials say, that’s what it is!”
Over the years, Puyin in Qizhou has become one of the most famous medicine capitals in the Han Dynasty, and Qizhou has been able to establish separate prefectures and counties. The trade of medicinal materials in the territory was prosperous, and medicinal materials were mostly used by the government, army and civilians. The imperial court specially set up a drug supervision department here to manage a series of matters such as the cultivation, harvesting and market trading of various medicinal materials.
Before the imperial commander arrived, Puyin County had already selected good land outside the city, recruited strong people, prepared timber, and built a camp in advance. Luan Jia arrived and settled in directly, which saved him a lot of trouble.
At night, during the camp, the palace attendants and officials had just settled down. During the camp, there were still some disturbances and constant noises. The escorting sergeants enjoyed the food provided by Puyin in batches.
In the imperial tent, Liu Chengyou couldn't rest. He wiped his face a little to clear away the dust and relieve his fatigue. He returned to the back of the case with a calm expression and looked at the several civil and military officials who had been ordered to see him.
"You haven't eaten yet. I'm also hungry. Come take a seat and let's talk while we eat!" Liu Chengyou said with a chuckle, pointing to several food tables with dishes laid out.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
A total of four people came to answer the call, Shi Shouxin, Bai Chongzan, Li Huan and an official wearing Wude uniform. Just eating simply made the atmosphere in the tent very harmonious.
After eating something to fill his stomach, Bai Chongzan took the initiative to ask Liu Chengyou, "I wonder if your Majesty has anything to teach you. I'm waiting to listen carefully!"
"Teaching is out of the question, we just have something to entrust to you!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand and looked at Bai Chongzan and Li Huan: "You two have been driving north for a long time, and they have traveled through most of the land in Hebei. County, I’m afraid I’ve been looking forward to my future destination for a long time! I’ve already selected the position for you!”
After hearing what he said, Li Huan asked: "Could it be Qizhou?"
"No, Qizhou's neighbor is Dingzhou!" Liu Chengyou responded: "I want Li Qing to be the magistrate of Dingzhou, and Bai Qing to be the envoy of Yongning, to govern and guard Dingzhou for the imperial court!"
"Yes!" Li and Bai stood up and answered the order.
"However, before taking office, you need to understand the situation in Dingzhou!" Liu Chengyou said, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there was something unusual and alarming.
"Tell them!" Liu Chengyou said to the detective of the Wude Department who had the honor to accompany him to the banquet.
"Yes!" Hearing this, the person stood up quickly and introduced: "Since Sun Fangjian, the former governor of Dingzhou, resigned from his post and entered the court, the court has appointed his younger brother Sun Xingyou as the Yongning military envoy. Sun Xingyou has been involved in politics and civil affairs for two years. . He also supports the Buddhist preaching and allows them to deceive people's hearts. There are demon nuns under the rule of Dingzhou, using evil methods to charm people and collect money. The people of Dingzhou rush to worship, and they can't stop it!"
"This Sun Xingyou is so bold and reckless?" Bai Chongzan was a little stunned.
Li Huan also frowned and said, "The government of the Shi family has already regulated it. How can we tolerate monsters and nuns deceiving the people and causing chaos?"
At Liu Chengyou's signal, the detective continued: "It is reported that Sun Xingyou is determined to rectify the situation, but it is difficult to return because of the accumulation of troubles. This time, His Majesty was patrolling the north, and the imperial convoy was approaching. Sun Xingyou was worried and fearful. He was afraid that Your Majesty would punish him, and he had already taken money and goods from the state treasury. , led the soldiers close to him, and retreated to look at Langshan Mountain in order to protect themselves..."
The detective's words made several people present look strange. It has been nine years since Qianyou. How can there be such an ignorant and bold person in the world? In fact, it was true. If Sun Xingyou had any intention of betraying the imperial court, it was not true. He was just suspicious of the crime and afraid of punishment, regardless of the consequences.
