Han Shizu

Chapter 1526 The afterglow of Fengchan

In the 11th year of Kaibao, in the late spring of March, he did not stay in Yanzhou too much. The next day he announced that he would drive back to Beijing and fled Daiyue Town in a hurry.Maybe not as vivid as hiding his face and flicking his sleeves, but Emperor Liu's self-awareness is to escape, and he feels ashamed to see the elders of Yanzhou.

Of course, no matter whether it was the aristocrats accompanying the ceremony or the subjects who watched the ceremony, they were still reminiscing about the first grand ceremony since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Apart from feeling that His Majesty the Emperor returned to Beijing in a hurry, they didn't have any strange feelings.

And the bureaucrats at all levels who participated in the ceremony before and after the ceremony of enshrining Chan, also took a breath with the end of the ceremony. For them, this was a test of official career fame and fortune.

The process was very hard and difficult, but the result was obviously good, at least no major problems were encountered, and the achievements, resumes, and political achievements were all in the bag.

And, it was cashed out quickly.On the second day of his journey back to Beijing, Emperor Liu summoned Liu Yang and Zhao Pu. After a brief exchange with the two, he decided on the rewards for the staff who worked hard during the process of enshrining Zen.Although Emperor Liu felt a little guilty and unhappy, the fault was not with his officials, and he was not stingy with the rewards he deserved after he has been busy for so long.

Or promotion, or salary increase, benefiting hundreds of bureaucrats.Of course, most people still consider their salaries. Large-scale promotions and official additions cannot be passed by Emperor Liu.

However, basically everyone has added a glorious touch to their resumes, and more and more noteworthy benefits may be reflected again in their future official careers.

Several main officials also contributed their own merits. Emperor Liu appreciated Zhao Pu's hard work and added [-] guan to his salary, which was paid from the Shaofu.Zhang Qixian put in more hard work, because being promoted to Yanzhou Mansion was a leapfrog promotion, which was not reflected in his position. However, there was no lack of salary and honors. Emperor Liu even asked Zhao Put to draw up special awards.

It is foreseeable that after Zhang Qixian stays in Yanzhou for a few more years and settles down, the high-ranking officials at the Taoist level are inevitable, and the future can be expected.

Of course, there is another purpose for keeping Zhang Qixian in Yanzhou, which is to clean up the civil affairs of Yanzhou.One problem that cannot be concealed is that even if the imperial court has a large amount of support, in the process of preparing for the Fengchan, the Yanzhou government has excessive consumption of human resources, financial resources and material resources. After the ceremony, Daiyue left The place is also a mess, and Zhang Qixian needs to tidy it up.

This, too, is a political task.After all, Feng Chan must not be stained, and Emperor Liu's reputation must not be damaged.

The rest of the people, including Prince Yong Liu Chengxun and Palace Marshal Yang Ye, who were not very involved in civil and military affairs, also received rewards of varying amounts.

It can be said that for this Fengchan, from the complicated and meticulous preparations in the early stage, to the large-scale implementation in the middle stage, and to the end of the generous rewards, the imperial court invested a lot.

If we really make a statistical summary in detail, only the expenditure of money, I am afraid that 500 million yuan will not be able to beat it.Of course, there will definitely be a report from the financial side, but I don't know how embarrassing Emperor Liu will be when he "wakes up" by then.

No matter how high-sounding it is, Emperor Liu has already identified himself as enshrining Zen for his own selfish desires. Such a situation would have been unimaginable ten years ago.

Even, Emperor Liu was already imagining that if Wang Pu and Shen Yilun borrowed money from Feng Chan and borrowed money from him, would they still be able to refuse with dignity and resolutely?
In late spring, the land of the Central Plains was full of vitality everywhere, and the air began to be filled with a faint heat.However, this small wave of heat did not last long, and was wiped out by a spring rain, which continued for three days, causing the trip back to Beijing to be delayed and had to stop in Jeju temporarily.

However, Emperor Liu also received some good news during the few days he was stationed in Juye County, Jeju. For example, the local famine has passed smoothly thanks to the food relief sent by the imperial court.For this reason, Emperor Liu pretended to ask Zhao Kuangyin to drink a few more glasses of wine to show his happiness.

That's right, during the period of Emperor Liu's enshrining in Zen, the weather was not completely smooth for the Han Dynasty. The country was prosperous and the people were peaceful, the Central Plains, Ji, Song, Bo and other counties all suffered famines to a greater or lesser extent, and it was the impact of last year's catastrophe.However, being suppressed, the court also actively adjusted food for relief.

Inside, Emperor Liu is playing chess with Jin Wang Liu Xi, um, chess.With a serious face, slightly frowned brows, thinking hard, holding a "rook" in his hand, he hesitated a lot, obviously the situation on the chessboard was not good.

Concubine Zhou Yi's eyes were like water, and she waited on her softly.The restless emotions were well hidden, but the look of looking up at Liu Xi seemed to say: You rebellious son, don't know how to give way to your father.

Liu Xi seemed to feel it too, smiled a little embarrassedly, and soon became expressionless, thinking about how to make Emperor Liu, who had recently become more and more addicted to chess, next.

The arrival of the crown prince solved the siege of Emperor Liu, took advantage of the situation and put the chess pieces back to their original positions. Naturally, he told Yan Tuo who was beside him: "Write down the endgame, and continue at another day!"

Emperor Liu was not embarrassed, and all the people present obeyed. Seeing Liu Yang, Liu Xi hurriedly got up to pay respects, and Concubine Zhou Yi greeted him gracefully.

"What's the matter?" Instructing the audience, Emperor Liu was seriously concerned about Liu Yang's coming.

His eyes keenly captured the situation at the scene, and Liu Yang cooperated very well, cupping his hands and said: "There are a few matters that need your advice!"

"Is there anything you and Zhao Pu can't handle?" Emperor Liu expressed his surprise, "Let's hear it!"

Liu Yangdao: "Just then the Crown Prince of Koryo, Wang Ni, asked to see him, saying that King of Koryo, Wang Zhao, intends to come to Beijing in person to meet the tribute!"

"Oh?" Emperor Liu became interested, his eyes revealed a short thought, and then he smiled softly: "This Wang Zhao has also been in power for more than 20 years. In the past so many years, no matter whether he was close or distant from the imperial court, he lived in the peninsula. Now Why do you want to move and come to Beijing in person?"

"According to Wang Ni, Wang Zhao admires His Majesty, longs to see the beauty of heaven, and wants to listen to the teachings of the emperor himself!" Liu Yang also smiled softly, as if he found it interesting.

After thinking about it, Emperor Liu asked, "How is the chaos in Korea?"

Liu Yang replied: "I checked and asked, and it is said that after two years of anxiety, the rebel army has long been exhausted. Not long ago, after Xu Xi split up and separated, the rebels fought among themselves and killed each other, which was determined by the Goryeo government. In Goryeo, Although there is still chaos, the overall situation is settled!"

Hearing what Liu Yang said, Emperor Liu sighed: "This Xu Xi decided to return to the country at the beginning, so he made meritorious deeds. The rebellion is established, and this is probably the reason why Wang Zhao came to Beijing. However, his purpose is to subdue me. Or show off?"

Emperor Liu's tone was obviously ridiculed, and Liu Yang said solemnly: "Since Koryo was destroyed by the king's master in the eighth year of Kaibao, there have been endless turmoil in Koryo. After these years of internal friction, it has already seriously damaged its vitality.

Now that the chaos is over and the country is exhausted, even if Wang Zhao thinks about it, he doesn't have the guts to protest to the court.From my son's point of view, Wang Zhao came here to express his submission to the court, hoping to get his father's forgiveness, and coming to Beijing in person is also an expression of sincerity in the future!
There is no lack of impetus from the imperial court for the chaos in Koryo. The monarchs and ministers of Koryo are well aware of this.If the imperial court doesn't let go, it will be difficult for them to rest in peace! "

Emperor Liu nodded, approving Liu Yang's analysis, and without thinking too much, he waved his hand and said, "The visitor is a guest, let the Ministry of Rites prepare for the reception. As for the rest, we will talk about it when Wang Zhao arrives!"

"Yes!"

"What else?"

Generally speaking, except for special or major events, Liu Yang would choose to sort things out and report them together.

Liu Yang continued: "In the past two days, my son has received a lot of memorials, and they all say two things, neither of which can be resolved by the son and Mr. Zhao! First, the officials believe that after the ceremony of enshrining Zen, the imperial court should pardon the world and release the prisoners. , to show the mighty grace of heaven!"

"I have stated more than once that I will never give an amnesty!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Liu interrupted him roughly, and said forcefully: "Do those criminals who are serving sentences deserve to be forgiven by the court? Go spread the word, if someone thinks that the prisoner If you don't want to bear the suffering, then ask for a replacement, whoever wants to replace a prisoner in the mine or frontier to serve his sentence, I will grant him!"

Liu Yang was not surprised by Emperor Liu's resolute attitude. However, he was a little surprised by such a reaction, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Of course, Emperor Liu's decree must be faithfully conveyed in place, but it may not be very friendly to the officials who petitioned for orders.

But Emperor Liu was still a little upset, and continued: "These people, if they have time to pity those criminals, why don't they care about the good people who are suffering from famine?"

"Yes! My son must convey the instructions well!" Seeing this, Liu Yang immediately expressed his opinion, and sighed slightly in his heart.

When Emperor Liu's words spread, I am afraid that the voices in the imperial court on certain matters will be silenced again, and those who want to use Emperor Liu's Fengchan to persuade some policies will be disappointed again.Moreover, it is certain that as long as Emperor Liu is still in power, no one will speak up for the prisoners, unless he feels uncomfortable and wants to scold him.

"Another thing?"

Liu Yang quickly collected his thoughts and reported: "If the previous example is followed, many officials believe that after enshrining Zen, the Yuan should be changed to adapt to the new era!"

Regarding this discussion, Emperor Liu did not express his position directly, but fell into serious thinking, and his expression gradually became serious.After deliberating for a while, Emperor Liu said leisurely: "Do you still remember the original intention of changing Yuan Kaibao back then?"

Without waiting for Liu Yang to answer, Emperor Liu said to himself: "To put it bluntly, it is Li Longji's Kaiyuan Tianbao rule that will catch up with and even surpass Li Longji in the future, and create a great man's Kaibao prosperity. Do you think this goal has been achieved now? ?

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world has been in chaos for hundreds of years. How long has it been since the Han Dynasty established the country, and how long has it been since the world turned from chaos to order?If you don't perform a Fengchan, it means that the prosperous age is coming, and you can enjoy peace! "

"I understand!" Hearing Emperor Liu's words, Liu Yang clasped his hands and said, obviously, this suggestion of changing Yuan was rejected again.

　The recent update has been broken, and the plot is not good. First, it is difficult to balance time and energy due to heavy work. Second, I have to collect manuscripts for the new book. Third, I have been hesitating whether to write this last volume.

After thinking about it, I still have to write it, otherwise I personally feel that it is incomplete, and it will be too uncomfortable for obsessive-compulsive disorder. From the beginning, I planned to write until the death of Emperor Liu
