Chapter 1088: Destiny
On March 19, the second year of Tianyou, it was another Chang Dynasty where all civil and military officials participated.
After the court meeting was over, the prime ministers returned to the Political Affairs Hall.
"There are more than 2,900 hectares of rye sown in Shenzhou this year, and they are all places with cold and dry winds." Pei Shu picked up a memorial and exclaimed.
To be honest, the prime ministers are very happy now.
In the past, I was so idle that I had no government affairs to manage. I was intrigued all day long and was still under the shadow of the officials. Now, I suddenly had more work, and the government affairs of various prefectures and counties under the rule of King Xia were gradually transferred. In other words, they could manage the civil affairs of many vassal states such as Shuofang, Xuanwu, Hezhong, Hexi, Longyou, Heyang, Tianping, Taining, Ziqing, Yanhua, Chenxu, etc.
I am a little tired, but I feel so happy. I really don’t want to live my life with nothing to do.
But all this has a prerequisite, and it must be guided by the Taifu.
"I heard that rye was brought from the Western Regions. Zhengdan Grand Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Xuanhui, the envoy of the Chanzhou Li Dynasty, presented rye. From this year, the tributes in Shenzhou will be designated as wild horse crotch leather, camel hair brown cloth, and rye." Pei Zhi said.
"Actually, rye is not delicious." Xiao Lu smiled and said, "It is not chewy and has a black color, so it can't be made into soup cakes."
"It's good to grow food in a barren and dry cold place." Song Le, the honest man, commented: "Zhang Quanyi is talented."
Yes, he was valued by the prime minister, and Zhang Quanyi was about to be promoted.
"In the place of Shenzhou, there were not many people growing food in the past. Now there are so many crops that are called great success. Zhang Quanyi should be his parents' official and should not be a martial artist." Chen Cheng smiled and said, "However, Zhang Quanyi gave all the credit to the Grand Tutor, this man, haha."
If it were about ten years earlier, Chen Cheng would have been teasing Zhang Quanyi. His "contribution" would be more than just an official?
Quanyi's wife, Chu, was extremely favored in the house of the Taifu Hou. She gave birth to a daughter in September of the third year of Ganning (896), and gave birth to another daughter in the fifth year of Ganning (898), and in the first month of Ganning (899), and in the first month of Ganning (899), she gave birth to the ninth son of the Taifu, Xingben. Last year, she gave birth to the eleventh son Zhigu.
Within six years, he gave birth to four children and caught up with the princess. In May of the sixth year of Ganning (899), the Zhe gave birth to a son and named him Zhiyuan. So far, he has three sons and one daughter.
"The great master of the Taifu crossed Yinshan Mountain in the north, crossed the Miscarriage in the south, reached Jieshi in the east, and climbed the Liusha in the west. As Zhang Quanyi said, if the Taifu had not promoted it, Shenzhou would not have grown rye. Although we were Tang ministers, we were the people of the world..." Xiao Lu suddenly said: "It is better to persuade Emperor Tang to abdicate and the Taifu advance."
Song Le remained silent after hearing this. He was Shao Shude's confidant and agreed 100% to his founding of the country. However, everyone was born in the Tang Dynasty and worked as an official in the Tang Dynasty. Some things were finally unexplained, so he didn't want to take the lead and there was no need to pursue the so-called merit of persuading advancement.
"In a few years, we saw a comet twice, which means that the virtue of earth is about to end, and the metal is expected to be echoed." Pei Shu sighed.
In fact, the comet is indeed widely discussed among the people. As for whether anyone is adding fuel to the fire, it depends on his opinion. Anyway, the saints are facing a great enemy and call it a "demon star" and are forbidden to talk about it.
But how could you block such a strange thing? The people who were eating melons were talking about it. In history, we would see the "demon star" again during Emperor Ai of Tang.
Within ten years, the comet will see three times, and the Jinde will inevitably replace the Tude, which is the perception of many people.
You can say they are ignorant and ignorant, but the status of these people is often not low, either aristocratic families or officials and generals. If they were in a peaceful and prosperous era, they might even guess elsewhere, but now in this situation, most people have already thought about the demise of the Tang Dynasty.
In other words, not many people have opposed the change of dynasties. The emergence of comets has begun a wave of public opinion early on, changing the minds of some people.
"We are also asking for the people of the world." Pei Zhi said: "Lu Xiang, can the abdication book be completed?"
"I just heard what you said, maybe I can polish and delete it. I can finish this manuscript today." said Lu Siye, secretary-general of Tongping Zhangshi.
It is unique to serve as prime minister as a secretary. Everyone knows that he is the one who put the Grand Tutor into the Political Affairs Hall, and represents the Grand Tutor's will.
Lu Siye knew that his qualifications and his resume had some problems, so he was cautious in the political affairs hall and just did the things assigned by the Grand Tutor, and did not compete with others, just as diligent and low-key as he had been a secretary with Shao Shude for twenty years.
The book of the abdication ceremony was written by him and then presented to the saint for review. In fact, it is not necessary. The imperial seal was taken away by the queen, and the saint could even be bypassed throughout the whole process. After the facts were met, how could the saint object?
Besides, he may not have the courage. After following the Taifu for twenty years, Lu Siye knew that the power of the emperor lies in "gathering the crowd", rather than being able to "become a million masters with one sword."
When the army supports you, you have reached the threshold of great power.
When the army and officials support you, you will be at ease.
When the army, officials, and the people all support you, this great power is no longer able to be stopped and can really destroy the "million divisions".
The number of comets shows, the signs of gold flow, and even the heavens give clear instructions.

Another court meeting.
There was not much matter. Just as the court was about to disperse, Wang Pu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to report."
"Wang Qing is here." The queen said as calmly as possible.
Today's court meeting was not long, but she was still a little tired.
Under the spacious and gorgeous tunic, the queen's slender and white legs were tightly clamped, and she didn't dare to let go. There was no doubt that maintaining this posture was very physically exhausting.
"I look at the ancient books, which start with Yao and Shun, is probably based on the scriptures of abdication, and are placed on the infinite. Therefore, I have granted Mount Tai and the father of Zen Liang. There are seventy-two kings who can be said to know that the most nobles in the world are not unique to one surname..." Wang Pu said slowly.
The queen glared at him, then searched for Shao Shude with her eyes, and saw that he did not come, she felt even more angry.
"Since Emperor Yi, I was lucky to have a chaotic dynasty, and the disasters started to occur, and the politics gradually disappeared. The sky was broken, the sea water flowed across the four periods, and there was no shelter for all living beings." At this point, Wang Pu shook his head and sighed, with a look of sorrow in his eyes.
The queen listened patiently.
The ministers showed their eyes and probably knew what Wang Pu was going to say. Some of them did not want to object, and some did not dare to object, so they all listened quietly.
"Only the King of Xia is in his sage, and he is in the wise. He promotes Shenwu and suppresses Xia. He has twenty great achievements and writes books. He crosses Yinshan in the north, crosses the Mischia Sea in the south, reaches Jieshi in the east, and falls in the west, and is unhappy with the support of life." Wang Pu continued: "Besides, over several years, the comets have seen two appearances, and the new is used to remove the old, and there is a bright sign. Now, the superiors observe astronomy and the lowers observe people's wishes. This is the ultimate time when the virtue of the earth is ultimate, and it is the time when the metal is in response."
This is already very clear. God gave a reminder that the wishes of the ministers and the people were also on King Xia, and it would be difficult to end without abdicating.
Sure enough, Wang Pu finally said: "I ask the saint to respect the throne and will be followed by King Xia."
"Empress, I also asked King Xia to advance to the throne as emperor. The calendar of heaven should not be violated." Wang Pu finished speaking, and the new Minister of War Du Rangneng made an appointment.
"Dear teachers?" The queen turned her eyes to the prime ministers.
"The saint is ill and cannot control the government. The country should be returned to those with virtue." Before the prime ministers could speak, the Grand Tutor Feng Yanqing stood up first and said.
"I'm going to discuss it." Chen Cheng, the Minister of the Secretariat, stood up and said.
"I'm asking for advice." Song Le, the Secretary of the Secretariat, also stood up.
"I'm going to discuss it." Xiao Lu, Zhao Guangfeng, Lu Siye and a group of officials all agreed.
"Our country has been transformed into the Tang Dynasty for more than 200 years. By the time of the late emperor, the capital was not guarded and the ancestral temples were not available. The emperor was spreading, and the emperor was shocked. "The country should be returned to the virtuous people. The virtues are brave, and the fortunes are destroyed. They bent their bows and fight in front of the formation, and they seized the spear and flew across the horse. They finally achieved the goal of chasing the birds and showing their plans to return to the palace. Assist the royal family, shelter the living beings, and offer them to help the disasters and disasters. These achievements are actually expected by the people of the world. You can quickly send envoys to maintain their integrity. At the palace of the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Ben was advised to advance to the emperor and be respected as the destiny."
"I obey the order." All the officials responded.

Shao Shude was meeting people from Shannan West Road in his mansion.
"If it weren't for the sake of Situ, I wouldn't have met you today." Shao Shude'an sat in the middle hall, full of anger.
Zhuge Chang, the son of Zhuge Zhongfang, looked ashamed and said, "My uncle taught me the lesson. My father thought that he had been suffering from military revolution for a long time and needed to rest and rest. He was very ashamed. He also thought about the last words of his ancestors at the time of death. He served his uncle with his brother, but he burst into tears."
Shao Shude's face cleared a little, and he also remembered the last time when he saw Zhuge Shuang, sighed and said, "It's unfair. If your father can hold on to Xingyuan and block my army, I can still look up to him. He understands him with reason, moves him with emotion, promises to have high officials and generous salaries, and even gets married. Now, it's good to give him a last title in the new dynasty."
Zhuge Chang breathed a sigh of relief in secret.
The Xingyuan soldiers suffered two consecutive defeats and lost five or six thousand people. During the siege, they fought at night twice and were defeated. After several twists and turns, the losses were nearly 10,000. But now they can't fight but they can't continue. When will they not surrender?
In fact, the Xingyuan soldiers were not so useless. However, the deputy commander of the Xia army, Gao Renhou, was very skilled in using troops and had no gaps to get out of it. The commander Shao Chengjie was also a naughty man. He repeatedly rode his horse in front of the formation to boost morale. Therefore, the Xia army was brave and unstoppable. Shannan West Road was defeated again and again, and finally it was out of control.
Now, I was surrounded by people. The reinforcements from the states could not break through the blockade, but instead lost their troops. Now that things have come to this point, there is nothing to say. It is better to take advantage of the fact that Ji, Bi, Ba and other states in the south to offer their land and surrender in exchange for wealth and honor. As for the generals who were determined to resist, they would send them into the ground. They swear to the ground before the war, but after the battle, they were defeated and everything was broken.
"Go down." Shao Shude said: "The court will issue a new edict tomorrow for Zhuge Zhongfang. You will return to Nanzheng with the angels and tell Zhongfang about the situation. This is the last chance, don't say that you are not prepared."
"Thank you for your forgiveness," Zhuge Chang said gratefully.
