Chapter 1473 The Prince Who Is Still Progressing

Perhaps because of the beginning of spring, the Chuigong Hall is no longer as airtight as it was in the severe winter. Many heavy curtains and curtains were removed inside and outside the hall, just like Emperor Liu's mood, as if some indescribable barriers had been put down.

Of course, under the threat of the cold spring, Emperor Liu still wore a thick jacket honestly and armed himself tightly.

Knowing that the crown prince and King Jin returned to Beijing, Emperor Liu was naturally happy. Although he didn't order people to greet them with great fanfare, he specially arranged for Bai Yang to bring the crown prince back to the palace with his own ceremonial car.

When the Luanjia, which belonged to Emperor Liu, passed through Tianjie, the subjects of Xijing who were lucky enough to witness it all subconsciously bowed down on both sides, shouting long live, as if it was the emperor's blessing.

The two entered the palace and were directly led to the Chui Gong Hall to pay homage. They hadn't seen each other for two months. The relationship between the father and son, the monarch and his ministers, seemed not at all unfamiliar, and there was no stagnation in the communication.

The crown prince Liu Yang became more calm, and the look in Emperor Liu's eyes became more satisfied.

"Although the Huazhou case is sensational, arouses righteous indignation, serious circumstances, and far-reaching harm, it is still an isolated case in my opinion. This time, I traveled along the river east, passing through Wei, Chan, Pu, Bo and other river defense key points along the way." The land, carefully inspecting its projects, is guaranteed, and the imperial court's annual expenditure on river water projects will eventually pay off.

After the river was broken last year, the local governments also responded to the imperial court's call to inspect and repair the dikes in the territory to eliminate hidden dangers, and they were quite diligent.

At the same time, we have also inspected and comforted the situation of the river works along the coast. Generally speaking, the livelihood is safe, and most of the annual water conservancy funds from the Ministry of Industry and the local government are still used!

The Ministry of Engineering and Engineering of Emperor Murong's uncle has made a lot of achievements in river engineering and water conservancy matters. Although there were some oversights in the case of Huazhou, it did not hide its merits." Liu Yang reported to Emperor Liu on the east tour with a calm face. Harvest, the words contained the meaning of interceding for Murong Yanchao.

Emperor Liu naturally heard it, waved his hand casually, and said: "The emperor's resignation was discussed with me. I thought he was old and allowed him to be adopted. It has nothing to do with the Huazhou case. The emperor is a big man and he has worked hard for many years." It's not easy, it's time to let go of the burden and enjoy the old age in peace, and the meritorious deeds will be inherited by the brothers Chengde and Chengtai."

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Liu Yang's expression was slightly relaxed. Although Murong Yanchao's reputation in the court was not very good, as far as Liu Yang himself was concerned, he still respected this uncle with a foreign surname.

"With regard to river fortification, I think that the imperial court still needs to pay more attention to it. Whether it is dredging silt, dredging the river, planting trees to fix the soil, digging ditches, and building reservoirs, it should continue to be carried out.

The previous Fanhe Judgment, of course, was caused by the sudden surge of water potential, which was overwhelmed for a while and caused harm, but the important reason for it was still the reason why the government and the people slacked off after a long period of safety.

Over the past ten years, more than a million elm and poplar trees have been planted along the banks of the river. They have a very good effect on water and soil conservation, and we can continue to encourage and support them.

However, the imperial court's finances are still difficult, and the people's manpower is exhausted, and they have not fully recovered. We should do what we can, and there is no need to rush! "

"It seems that you have gained a lot from your tour this time!" Seeing Liu Yang calmly and eloquently talking, Emperor Liu praised him a little, and then said calmly: "In the future, you should go out more. From the beginning of Bingzheng, he often went on tour, not for sightseeing, but because he didn't want to be restrained in the deep palace and high hall.

Although the palace is majestic and magnificent, it is still too far away from the scenery of the mountains and rivers, the fireworks in the world, and there are obstacles in it. If you have never heard or seen it, you will inevitably have ignorance and be deceived by others.

Closing your eyes and blocking your ears is a taboo for a king.I'm getting older now, and my legs and feet are not as sharp as before. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to go on tour.

The big man is too big, and the territory is vast, and I can't survey it alone.You are the crown prince, you should take up the burden on you, go out more in the future, step into the rivers and lakes for me, and open your eyes to see this magnificent mountain and river."

Emperor Liu's words were so sincere that Liu Yang couldn't help feeling an indescribable eagerness and emotion in his heart. At the side, Liu Xi also listened silently, his eyes turned from Emperor Liu to Liu Yang inadvertently. Sighing secretly, the emperor's father's respect for the second brother of the prince is now more and more undisguised.

He didn't feel too much loss. Liu Xi's mentality was already good. He was used to it since he was a child, and he could see it. He still recognized what Emperor Liu said.

Liu Yang got up and said with a serious face: "Thank you for your trust, father! However, father is now in the prime of life, and the world is so big and the territory is so wide, it is possible to go there. My son is more willing to follow in father's footsteps and obey father." teachings!"

"Haha!" Emperor Liu smiled. Although he knew that Liu Yang's words were meant to be flattering, he still couldn't help but feel happy. He waved his hands and said, "We are not only monarchs and ministers, but also father and son. We don't need to be so restrained. There is no need to talk about it all the time, I understand your loyalty and filial piety!"

Of course, even though Emperor Liu said so, Liu Yang still maintained his consistent style, not taking it seriously, nor did he dare to take it seriously.The more you understand Emperor Liu, the less you dare to go beyond anything.

Everyone outside could see Emperor Liu's trust and respect for the crown prince, with a completely reassuring attitude, wholeheartedly wanting to pass on the country and society to Liu Yang.

However, being a prince, a prince with real power, or a prince of a strong and powerful start-up like Emperor Liu, can maintain this trust and harmonious relationship for more than ten years, how can it be possible to do this? Easy?

Liu Yang felt deeply about Emperor Liu's trust. Similarly, he also respected his authority. He was always very measured in how he behaved and behaved. These were the fundamental reasons why his position as prince remained unshakable for more than ten years.

"Before returning to Beijing, I received an official document stating that at the end of the year, the imperial court intends to further purge the administration of officials. My son thought that this matter should be a major policy of the imperial court.

Today, the strategy of the Great Han Dynasty has shrunk, stopped fighting and repairing the government, and supported the people's livelihood. The country has also shifted from external expansion to internal stability.The administration of officials is the most important thing in governing the country. It is not only about combating corruption, but also about the selection of talents and the education of officials' morality.

During this east tour, I inspected Lianghe prefectures and counties, and observed local officials. Although they were not corrupt, they showed signs of laziness and slack administration. This is an extremely bad phenomenon. "

"In addition, with regard to the officials in the world, perhaps the imperial court should come up with a complete set of management and selection methods. Among the officials, there are indeed many capable officials, but most of them are limited by their positions, and promotion is difficult. Of course, the scientific examination is a rare one. The way to rise, but it is difficult after all.

In Yunzhou, my son met an arresting official who served for fifteen years. He maintained law and order and arrested criminals. He worked hard, but it was always difficult to break through the restrictions of official duties.My son inspected it in person, and he was indeed a capable and capable official, so he was promoted.

However, I can promote this one person, but it is difficult to promote the tens of thousands of officials in dozens of provinces and thousands of prefectures and counties in the world.

Therefore, Er believes that the imperial court should also extend grace according to the situation, and use a path of selection and promotion with the officials of the world, not only to select more capable officials for the imperial court, but also to appease those officials who have kept their posts for a long time and are rarely promoted.

You need to know that a small official is an important help for the government to manage government affairs and manage the people."

"."

"Geng Guogong (Wu Xingde, the governor of Henan Province at the time) once said that cotton cloth has become the most effective and durable thing for the people to keep out the cold. high.

The imperial court has been promoting cotton planting and cotton production for nearly 16 years, and all aspects are becoming more and more mature. I think that the policy can be adjusted again, and the expansion of cotton production in suitable places in Daozhou can continue to increase the output of cotton cloth, in order to solve the problems of the people all over the world. The pain of keeping out the cold, the worry of covering the body"

Liu Yang also reported to Emperor Liu the summary of what he had seen and heard during the east tour. Of course, compared with the past, this time, he had more knowledge and insights of his own, and some suggestions he put forward were more in line with the current national conditions of the big man.

Seeing this more confident and calm son, Emperor Liu also showed a look of satisfaction, but his reaction seemed to be relatively flat, not at all like the high spirits when he talked about political affairs.

"Have some tea!" Emperor Liu motioned.

When Liu Yang moistened his throat and wanted to narrate again, Emperor Liu stopped him, his attitude was still gentle, and said: "I have no objection to your thoughts and suggestions, but should you do it, how to do it, how to put it into practice? To control and solve the problems in the process, careful planning is required. For these matters, you can go to Zhao Pu and let him check it out!"

Liu Yang was a little surprised, not only surprised by Emperor Liu's attitude, but also couldn't help thinking to himself, did Emperor Liu trust Zhao Pu to this extent?
However, it is still respectful.Probably noticing the exhaustion on Emperor Liu's face, Liu Yang took the initiative to resign: "If father is tired, I will leave first, so as not to disturb the rest!"

"No problem!" Emperor Liu waved his hand and said, "You are the ones who need to rest. The journey has been a long journey, and the journey is tiring. It's the festival, so go back and recuperate for a while."

"Thank you dad for your concern! There's the minister, so I'm leaving!"

"Go to Kunming Palace first, and visit the queen!" Emperor Liu confessed.

"Yes!" There was no need for Emperor Liu to remind him of this point.
