Han Shizu

Chapter 1344 New Shanyang

With the arrival of Emperor Liu, the harmonious conversation between the three stopped, and they all stood up to greet him.Emperor Liu seemed to be in a good mood, with a clear smile on his lips, and an obvious friendly attitude towards the three ministers. He lifted his dragon robe and sat down, and stretched out his hand to signal: "There is no need to be formal, sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Tian Qing took the lead this time, fighting several times in a row. It's really hard work. During this time, how is your injury? How's your rest?" Emperor Liu looked at Tian Renlang with a smile, and his words were full of intimacy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your care!" Tian Renlang was honored, showing a simple smile, and replied respectfully: "It's just a small injury and pain, the skin and flesh have healed, and the mental and physical strength has recovered!"

Tian Renlang is very smart, and it is reflected on the battlefield. He has a good command of strategy. He is not the kind of fierce general who fights and rushes, but belongs to the commanding general.It is of course a compliment to say that he took the lead, but the results achieved are indeed quite a lot.

"It's good if you recover!" Emperor Liu grinned, and directly expressed his attitude to him: "The imperial court is just at the time of employing people, and it is also the time when loyal and brave generals like generals are needed to serve!"

Emperor Liu almost made it clear, and Tian Renlang was more alert about this, and immediately got up and bowed solemnly: "If your majesty does not regard your subjects as contemptible, I would like to do the work of dogs and horses and do my best!"

"Haha!" Emperor Liu couldn't help laughing when he saw him, and said simply: "After the army withdrew, the northern border still needs to be pruned and defended. After discussing with my ministers, I decided to use Tian Qing as the general of Shanyang, and the prime minister of Shanyang. Military affairs and the defense of the Great Wall!"

Hearing this, Tian Renlang couldn't hide his surprise. He knew that he would be promoted, but he didn't expect that he would be promoted in one step. This is more than three consecutive promotions.It is also the capital of Shanyang, and the commander-in-chief of the defense of Saibei, which is much more powerful than the local capital of the inland Daozhou.

It was hard to hide the color of surprise, but Tian Renlang still tried his best to suppress his excitement, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty's great kindness and promotion, you will eventually be grateful, but your qualifications will be shallow. Once you are promoted to a high position, you may not be able to match your virtue." , it is difficult to convince the public!"

"With such modesty and prudence, it proves that my choice of employing people is good!" Seeing this, Emperor Liu calmly waved his hand and said directly: "You don't have to have any worries. In terms of seniority, you have more than [-] years of military career. Is it still superficial? The general who came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood should be more agile, and show the pride of leading the crowd to attack, beheading the general and capturing the flag!"

After a pause, Emperor Liu stared at Tian Renlang and said, "However, if you really feel embarrassed, I will not force you!"

The emperor said so, how could Tian Renlang continue to babble, the modest words on his lips were just a routine.Therefore, all the hesitation on his face dissipated, Tian Renlang knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said: "The final general will do his best to live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

"That's right!" Emperor Liu cheered, got up, walked to the map of Shanyang and Monan hanging in the hall, outlined a large area south of Yinshan Mountain with his hand, and said, "After you take office, apart from arranging In addition to defending, suppressing turmoil, and assisting the Sanyang Daofu to maintain law and order, there is another matter, which is to completely wipe out the vast area south of Yinshan Mountain, and all tribes, big and small, will perish in Shunchang!

The problems left by Qianyou's Northern Expedition should be resolutely and thoroughly resolved this time. I want the Monan area to become a truly unique racecourse for the Han.I want to make it clear that the south of the Yin Mountain is completely Han land, and it is no longer an empty talk.

In addition, the cavalry of each army has lost a lot this time, and all kinds of horses have also consumed a lot. The imperial court will set up a pastoral supervisor in Monan and train the cavalry. This matter should also be cooperated. "

After thinking about it for a while, he pointed to the place where Baishuiluo was, and said: "I have decided to build a city at Baishuiluo and rule it firmly. This matter is also up to you!"

"Yes!" The emperor gave the opportunity face to face, Tian Renlang looked serious, kept in mind silently, and replied straightforwardly.

"Do you think the task is heavy? Is there any difficulty?" Emperor Liu looked at Tian Renlang.

"The last general must do his best to ensure that the task is completed!" Tian Renlang replied, but after thinking about it, he still asked: "Your Majesty, if you want to realize the decree, you still need the support of materials and manpower from the court!"

Seeing Tian Renlang bluntly said "guaranteed to complete the task", which gave Emperor Liu an inexplicable sense of intimacy and familiarity. After hearing his request, he became more generous, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, a smart woman can't cook without rice , the support that you should have will not short you at all! To make Shanyang stabilize, you also need the unity of civil and military forces, and the joint efforts of the military and the government. This is a complementary thing!"

"Remember Your Majesty's instructions!" Tian Renlang said.

Nodding his head, Emperor Liu called Shi Xizai, and said directly, "Ningji, I won't say much, I summoned you from Hedong to temporarily let you take charge of the overall situation in Shanyang!

Although the Shanyang battle was won neatly and happily, the Liao army plundered and caused serious damage. Both the officials and the people suffered heavy losses, and it was not much better than before.

Shanyang is dilapidated and urgently needs to be rebuilt. The person in charge is very important. I have thought about it for a long time, but I have not yet made a decision, and I need to think again.However, the reconstruction work of Shanyang and various appeasement matters cannot be delayed. Therefore, before deciding on a candidate, you will concurrently serve as the chief envoy of Shanyang and preside over the government affairs! "

Shi Xizai was unavoidably surprised by this, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "Your Majesty has sent you something, and I have no doubts about it, but I will do my best! However, it seems inappropriate to let my minister take on two roles, and I am afraid it will provoke criticism." , and this Northern Expedition, Hedong fully mobilized the officials and the people to feed the army, and the affairs of the upper and lower levels were equally heavy, and the ministers were afraid that they were insufficient in ability and limited in energy, so it was difficult to take care of both."

Hearing what Shi Xizai said, Emperor Liu frowned slightly. In his eyes, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement. Shi Xizai was the most suitable person who could deal with Shanyang's affairs urgently.As for letting him have two roles, Emperor Liu would not suspect him of having too much power.

However, since Shi Xizai proposed it on his own initiative, Emperor Liu had to think more about it.After all, Hedong was originally a road, and the new Sanyang Road has a wider jurisdiction and more complicated affairs. It is really too heavy for him to take charge of the management, even if he is only in charge of the overall situation.

"You are right!" After pondering for a while, Emperor Liu raised his eyes to Shi Xizai and said, "In this way, this winter, you will temporarily stay in the cloud to manage government affairs. After this winter, I will send someone to take over, and you will come back Hedong! As for the government affairs of Hedong, the chief minister is in charge of it freely, and this is exactly the way to test the quality of the officials in Hedong!"

"Yes!" Seeing Emperor Liu's consideration, Shi Xizai no longer refused.

Although he is no longer a close minister, he has a deep memory of Emperor Liu's temper, and he knows what things and what situations cannot be refused.In the past two years after leaving Emperor Liu as an official in Hedong, his awe of Emperor Liu not only did not decrease, but intensified, probably because of the change brought about by the distance.

"The Northern Expedition has come to an end! Tomorrow, I will return to Beijing. I will entrust all the military and political affairs of Shanyang to Erqing!" After explaining the affairs, Emperor Liu sighed heavily, looking at Shi Xizai and Tian Renlang , solemnly.

"I'll do my best, and I'll die!" Shi Xizai said earnestly, cupping his hands.

"Haha, our side has won a great victory, and the barbarians flee to the north, so there is no need to be so tragic!" Emperor Liu laughed twice, and then said with emotion: "One day, I will visit Shanyang again, hoping to see a new look!"
