Chapter 1021 The Cage

On the tenth day of the 7th month of the seventh year of Ganning, the saint came to Shan County and stayed in Shaanxi Palace. Five days later, he arrived at Mianchi County.

It was evening, and officials and civilians came to the Mianchi South Pavilion from all over the countryside. Seeing the crowded appearance, they were afraid that there were thousands of people.

The saint was also very interested. Seeing that the people were not covered in clothes and were quite strong, he ignored Queen He and Li Zhaoyi's dissuasion, leaving the inn and preparing to meet the people and say a few words.

"Where is the saint?"

"Where is Khan?"

"Is Wu Zu there?"

As soon as the saint of the Li family left the hall, someone bowed outside, but then there was another big uproar. Many people who had seen Shao Shude were at a loss. Doesn’t the person in front of him look like a saint?

"You are the Emperor Huang of Chang'an. Where is the Emperor Qing of our party? "A large number of Han people came out and asked.

The faces of the saint of the Li family were dark.

He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

Henan Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture are really two realms.

The more reluctant the saint left Jingzhao Mansion, the more disgusted the saints were when they entered Henan Mansion.

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly and went back to the inn.

Mrs. Yang Kezheng, the wife of Jin State, and Mrs. Zhao was fond of her and looked at the people who recognized the thief as her father, and was furious.

"You and others know that Shao Shude was the governor of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing that the Emperor was also able to perform the rituals of the ministers. The fool is ridiculous and does not recognize the power of the heavens." Yang Kezheng angrily scolded.

The people were in an uproar again, and the person who had originally knelt down also stood up. He felt that he had been deceived and cursed: "What is your woman?"

"Can the saint of the Li family get a strong bow with two stones?"

"Did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty give me land, houses, cattle and sheep?"

"I snatched this little girl's skin and gave it to the Supreme Khan's warm bed."

"There are also princesses and concubines, and they snatch them together."

"Can the head of the saint of the Li family be exchanged for a house in Luoyang City?"

Ma Sixun looked at him with a smile, and was furious, but after seeing that it was Shao Shude who kicked him, his face changed and he said aggrievedly: "Why did Your Highness kick me?"

"Get me up!" Shao Shude said angrily: "Why let the people come?"

"We all gathered spontaneously, wanting to see your Highness," said Ma Sixun: "If they don't recognize anyone in Henan Prefecture, they will recognize your Highness."

Shao Shude's face cleared a little, and he walked to the loudest man, punched his chest with a punch, and scolded, "Zhou Erlang, I haven't asked the gang to dig the canal this year, right?"

Zhou Erlang laughed and said, "In the past, I was in the army, and I would dig trenches and build villages wherever I went. After retreating from the army, I would dig trenches and build houses. I don't have to work this year, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

"I just need to be beaten." Shao Shude smiled. "Since there is nothing wrong, I will teach the young man how to pull the bow and shoot archery and fight. In the past ten years, the archery skills are not a little worse than those of you."

"I'm going back, I'm going back." Zhou Erlang smiled embarrassedly.

He used to be a warrior. He served in the Gui German army. After years of war, his thumb broke, he could no longer hold his bow and shoot arrows, and he was unwilling to leave the army, so he became the deputy of the auxiliary army. Last year, when he was 42 years old, he finally left, settled his home in Mianchi County, and became a village assistant. In his spare time in winter, he often trained Tutuan Township workers, and was somewhat of a personal figure in the village.

"Get out!" Shao Shude signaled. Li Yixian brought two pieces of money. Shao Shude took it and stuffed it into Zhou Erlang's hand, saying, "Buy some meat milk for the boys. The training is very hard, and it will be more nourishing."

Two shreds of money, one thousand six hundred ounces, twelve pounds and eight taels. Zhou Erlang held it in his hand, without any difficulty. He smiled and said, "When I go back, I tell the bastards that this is the reward of the king."

The money is not much, so it is enough to buy five or six sheep. It may be more expensive to exchange for cheap pork, but it is not enough for everyone to share when practicing martial arts. But Zhou Erlang was happy and planned to promote it widely, which shows that he was truly convinced by Shao Shude.

Shao Dashuai has become more and more perfect in the way of spending a small amount of money to do big things.

There are many kings, princesses, concubines, and officials living outside the Mianchi South Pavilion, who see this scene in their eyes.

The Minister of the Secretariat, Zhu Pu, turned his head away and secretly felt sad.

The people of Dongdu are no longer owned by the Tang Dynasty, and they no longer recognize the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. The most dangerous thing about Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan Rebellion was half of the west of Henan, and one in ten households was not one in ten. Most of the people in Henan Prefecture, Ruzhou, Mengzhou, Huaizhou, and Zhengzhou are no longer the people of the past.

In the past, Zhu Quanzhong defeated Qin Zongquan, Xuanwu, Xuanyi, and Chen Xu people built a temple for him, and Shao Shude restored the vitality of a deserted Henan Prefecture. It goes without saying who the local people listen to.

The foundation of the Tang Dynasty's rule has long been emptied, and the people's hearts have long disappeared, so what can I do?

On March 16th, Shao Shude, Minister of Rites Pei Yuchang, Prime Minister Pei Shu, and Pei Zhi walked along the north bank of the Gushui River.

Wenxi Pei is a big family.

Pei Yuchang was born in the East Family, Pei Shu was born in the South Wu Family, and Pei Zhi was born in the Middle Family, both of them were Pei family, and they also had contacts with each other, but the relationship depends on the individual.

"Gushui is one of the fundamentals of Luoyang. After years of rectification, it has no harm." Shao Shude said, pointing to the lush farmland on both sides of the valley water.

"Your Highness, once the ponds and ditches are built, the people will benefit greatly, and everyone will live and work in peace and contentment, and I will praise you very much. I admire such achievements." Pei Yuchang was the oldest among the three, the youngest, and he said very stingy. As soon as he said this, Pei Zhi was fine, and Pei Shu had already frowned.

"Your Highness, building a palace is a huge project, and people need to open rivers and dig canals. It is not a good thing to abuse people's power in this way." Pei Shu said.

Pei Zhi said, "Otherwise, it is all good things that are beneficial to the people, so why worry?"

Pei Shu shook his head and said nothing.

Pei Yuchang glanced at Pei Shu and was displeased.

Shao Shude smiled. He was too lazy to care about the destruction between San Pei. He took the time to talk to San Pei, and would not mediate their relationship.

Among the three Pei Pei, Pei Yuchang was the most valued and had the most close relationship. Pei Shu and Pei Zhi had a much farther relationship. Moreover, they looked like they were as arrogant as a family. If they were used in the future, they would be more arrogant.

"Henan Prefecture, although I have not been in operation for a long time, I have placed many immigrants and soldiers, which is stable." Shao Shude stopped and said, "I will take you out today to let you know where Luoyang is."

After saying that, he stopped his eyes on Pei Zhi and Pei Shu.

Where? Of course it is an important nest. Pei Zhi first reacted and said: "A glance at the whole picture will bring you a glimpse of it. All industries in Henan Province are prosperous, and the people are grateful. If there is any change in the future, it will be a natural result."

Pei Shu glanced at Pei Zhi with some contempt, but had to admit: "Your Highness has indeed achieved the law in governing the country."

Shao Shude smiled and said, "After arriving in Luoyang, you can take people to have a walk and have more gatherings in your spare time."

His words were already very straightforward.

Take officials to various places to see Shao Sheng’s “great achievements”.

Hold more gatherings with scholars. As organizers, you should set up issues, control the rhythm, and create public opinion.

In short, do everything possible to create momentum to form a public opinion trend, so that more people can recognize King Xia.

Don’t think that this world is full of smart people, but in fact, the majority of people follow the crowd. They don’t have social media at hand, otherwise Shao Shude would dare to let the prime minister and famous people register an account, let them flatter themselves, and then spend money to hire a water army to put these flattery issues to the top and dominate the list continuously - the ability to set topics is one of the core elements of public opinion hegemony.

Pei Yuchang stroked his beard and secretly praised King Xia as a meticulous person, with decent work and flexible wrists.

The warrior who was a little smarter killed all those who opposed him and then usurped the throne. Moreover, the conditions for ascending the throne are often very simple, just like a joke, and are despised.

This new master is worth following.

*******

The convoy stayed at Mianchi South Pavilion for one night and continued to drive the next day.

On the evening of the 17th, I arrived in Xin'an County, at noon of the 19th, and on the night of the 20th, I arrived in the eastern capital Luoyang.

The convoy followed Luoshui, passed through Shenduyuan, and headed straight to the Imperial City.

Most of the vehicles were parked in the Forbidden Garden, and the soldiers were also staying there. The Golden Sword Army and the Silver Spear Army escorted all the way here, and their mission was completed - the Golden Sword Army will return to Jian, Feixiong and the Silver Spear Army will be transferred to the Central Plains.

Shao Shude has been by the saint's carriage.

The saint may be tired and doesn't like to talk to him very much. Queen He looked at him several times, but they all lowered their heads quickly, perhaps because they felt that the tutor's gaze was too pissing.

After crossing the Three Bridges in Tianjin, enter Duanmen and enter the Imperial City.

At this time, the saint was excited, and his eyes were brightly looked at the already rough government office hall, with a little excited expression.

The imperial city was brightly lit, and the palace guards were everywhere, with swords and guns tightly.

The saint's face collapsed again.

The Shence army has been dismissed. Luoyang Imperial City and the palace city are all Shao Shude's soldiers. Thinking about it, you can tell that the situation in Luoyang Palace City is worse than in Chang'an.

Although Han Quanhui and Liu Jishu were domineering and had cooperation with Shao Shude, they did not want the Tang Dynasty to be destroyed, and they would lose their source of power.

But it will be different when it comes to Luoyang. The eunuchs and guards here are a new interest group, and the person they are loyal to is definitely not themselves.

Thinking of this, the saint wanted to hug others and cried again.

The carriage passed Yingtian Gate, left the imperial city, then entered Qianyuan Gate, entered the palace city, and stopped in front of Hanyuan Hall.

Shao Shude had already left, and Wei Weiqing Murong Fu slowly stepped forward to see him, and then closed the palace gate on the grounds that it was getting late.

"Boom!" As the heavy iron-packed door was tightly closed, the saint suddenly felt a palpitation. He felt like he was locked inside like the bird in a cage.

"Your Majesty." Queen He came over and took the saint's hand.

The saint looked around and saw that the familiar palace servants, the little yellow gate were there, and he breathed a little relieved.

The guard's command sounded outside Qianyuan Gate.

The saint clenched his fists quietly. This cage made him hold his breath!
