On the tenth day of the third month of the seventh year of Qianning, the saint came to Shaanxi County and stayed at Shaanxi City Palace. Five days later, he arrived at Mianchi County.
It was evening, and officials and people from all over the country came to the Mianchi South Pavilion. Judging from the crowds of people, they probably numbered in the thousands.
The saint was also in high spirits. He saw that the people were not naked and in good health. Regardless of Empress He and Li Zhaoyi's dissuasion, he left the post and prepared to meet the people and say a few words.
"Where is the saint?"
"Where's the Khan?"
"Is the Wuzu here?"
As soon as the sage of the Li family came out of the hall, people outside worshiped him, but then there was a big uproar. Many people who had seen Shao Shude were at a loss. Doesn't this 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 big man stepped out of the crowd and asked.
The face of the Li family saint turned dark.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
Henan Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture are really two realms.
The saint was so reluctant to leave Jingzhao Mansion, and now he is disgusted when he enters Henan Mansion.
"Humph!" He snorted coldly and returned directly to the hotel.
Madame Yang Kezheng of Jin State and Madame Zhao of Zhao State were very angry when they looked at the people who recognized thieves as their fathers.
"Good teaching, you all know that Shao Shude is a military envoy granted by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. When he sees the emperor, he must also perform the courtesy of a minister. You are stupid and ridiculous, and you don't know the power of heaven." Yang Kezhen rebuked angrily.
The people were in an uproar again, and those who had been kneeling stood up. Feeling that they had been deceived, they yelled, "Who do you think you are, woman?"
"Can a saint from the Li family hold a two-stone bow?"
"Did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ever give us fields, houses, cattle and sheep?"
"Snatch this little girl's skin and give it to the Supreme Khan to warm her bed."
"And the princesses and concubines were snatched together."
"Can the head of a saint from the Li family be exchanged for a house in Luoyang City?"
Ma Sixun looked on with a smile, but unexpectedly got a kick on the butt, and suddenly became furious. However, when he saw that it was Shao Shude who kicked him, his expression changed and he said aggrievedly: "Why did your highness kick me?"
"You can cause trouble for me!" Shao Shude said angrily: "Why do you let the people come over?"
"They all gathered spontaneously to see you, Your Highness." Ma Sixun said: "They don't recognize anyone in Henan Prefecture, they only recognize Your Highness."
Shao Shude's face turned pale, and he walked up to the big man with the loudest name, punched him in the chest, and cursed with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you haven't been allowed to go to work digging ditches this year, aren't you itchy?"
Zhou Zuorang laughed loudly and said: "In the past, when I was in the army, I would dig ditches and build forts wherever I went. After I retired from the army, I still dug ditches and built houses. I don't have to go to work this year, and I feel uncomfortable all over."
"It's just that I need to fight." Shao Shude said with a smile; "Since there is nothing to do, go back and teach the younger generation how to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, and go into battle. The archery skills of the children in the past ten years are not even a little bit worse than your batch."
He used to be a soldier and served in the German army. After years of fighting, his thumb was broken and he could no longer hold the bow and shoot arrows. He also did not want to leave the army, so he became the deputy of the auxiliary army. Last year, he was already 42 years old.
He finally left and settled down in Mianchi County, where he became a village assistant. During his free time in the winter, he often trained fellow Tutuan villagers and became more or less a figure in the village.
"Get out of here!" Shao Shude signaled. Li Yixian brought two cents of money. Shao Shude took it and stuffed it into Zhou Erlang's hand, saying: "Buy some meat and milk for the boys. The training is very hard. Please keep yourself healthy."
Two coins, one thousand six hundred Wen, twelve pounds and eight taels, Zhou Lang held it in his hand without feeling any difficulty at all. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Tell the bastards when you get back that this is a reward from the king."
The money is not much, just enough to buy five or six sheep, and maybe more in exchange for cheap pork, but when it comes to martial arts training, it is not enough to share with everyone. But Tuesday Lang is very happy and plans to publicize it, which shows that he is truly convinced.
Shao Shude.
Shao Dashuai is becoming more and more proficient in spending small money to accomplish big things.
There were many kings, princesses, concubines, and officials living outside the Mianchi South Pavilion, and they saw this scene in their eyes.
The assistant minister of Zhongshu, Tong Pingzhangshi Zhu Pu, turned away, secretly feeling sad.
The people of the Eastern Capital no longer belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and they no longer recognized the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, it’s normal to think about it. Huang Chao and the Qin Zongquan Rebellion were the most violent in the western half of Henan. Not even one out of ten households has a household registration. Most of the people in Henan Prefecture, Ruzhou, Mengzhou, Huaizhou, and Zhengzhou are not the same people as before.
of people.
In the past, when Zhu Quanzhong overthrew the Qin clan, proclaimed military power and declared righteousness, Chen Xu and the people built a shrine for him, and Shao Shude restored the vitality of the desolate Henan Prefecture. It is self-evident who the local people will listen to.
The foundation of the rule of the Tang Dynasty has long been hollowed out, and the people's hearts have long been gone. What can be done about it?
On March 16, Shao Shude, Minister of Rites Pei Yuchang, Prime Minister Pei Shu, and Pei Zhi walked side by side along the north bank of the Valley River.
I heard that the Pei family is a wealthy family.
Pei Yuchang was born in the Dongjuanfang, Pei Shu was born in the Nanlaiwu Fang, and Pei Zhi was born in the Zhongjuanfang. They were both Pei surnames and had contacts with each other, but the relationship between them depended on the individual.
"Gushui is one of the fundamentals of Luoyang. After several years of improvement, it is no longer harmful." Shao Shude pointed at the lush farmland on both sides of the Gushui and said.
"Your Highness, after repairing the ditch in Pichi, the people have benefited greatly. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and they are praised endlessly. I admire these achievements very much." Pei Yuchang is the oldest among the three, the youngest official, and he speaks very well.
Nasty. As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Pei Zhi was still fine, but Pei Shu had already frowned.
"Your Highness, building a palace is already a huge project, but it is not a good thing to ask people to dig rivers and dig canals. Such abuse of people's power is not a good thing." Pei Shu said.
Pei Zhi said, "Otherwise, these are all good things that benefit the people, so why worry?"
Pei Shudan shook his head and said nothing.
Pei Yuchang glanced at Pei Shu and felt unhappy.
Shao Shude had a smile on his face. He was too lazy to care about the troubles between San Pei. He took the time to talk to San Pei, not to mediate the relationship between them.
Among the three Pei's, Pei Yuchang was the most valued by him and had the closest relationship. Pei Shu and Pei Zhi were much closer to each other. And judging from their appearance, they were still carrying the airs of a wealthy family. If they were to be reused in the future, I'm afraid they would be
He also slaps his nose on his face.
"Although I have not been in business for a long time in Henan Mansion, I have settled many immigrants and sergeants, so it is very stable." Shao Shude dismounted and said, "I brought you out today to let you know what kind of place Luoyang is.
"
After that, he turned his attention to Pei Zhi and Pei Shu.
Where? Of course it's an important nest. Pei Zhi was the first to react and said: "If you take a peek, you will know the whole picture. All industries in Henan Prefecture are prosperous and the people are grateful. If there are changes in the future, it will be a matter of course."
Pei Shu glanced at Pei Zhi with some disdain, but he had to admit: "Your Highness is indeed managing the government in his own way."
Shao Shude smiled and said: "After arriving in Luoyang, in your free time, you can take people to see more and hold more gatherings."
What he said has been very straightforward.
Take officials to visit various places to see Shao Sheng's "great achievements".
Hold more gatherings attended by scholars. As the organizer, you must set the topics, control the pace, and create public opinion.
In short, do everything possible to build momentum, form a wave of public opinion, and let more people recognize King Xia.
Don't think that there are all smart people in this world. In fact, the majority of people follow what others say. That means there is no social media at hand. Otherwise, Shao Shude would dare to ask the prime minister and famous people to register accounts, let them praise themselves, and then spend money to hire trolls.
, pushing these touted issues to the top and continuously dominating the list - the ability to set issues is one of the core elements of public opinion hegemony.
Pei Yuchang stroked his beard and secretly praised King Xia for being a smart man, decent in his work and flexible in his skills.
A weak-minded martial artist simply killed all those who opposed him, and then usurped the throne. Moreover, the conditions when he ascended the throne were often very crude, child's play, and despised.
This new owner is worth following.

The convoy stayed one night at Mianchi South Hall and continued its journey the next day.
Arrive at Xin'an County on the evening of the 17th, cross the Xiaoshui River at noon on the 19th, and arrive at Luoyang, the eastern capital, on the night of the 20th.
The motorcade followed Luoshui, passed through Shendu Garden, and went straight to the Imperial City.
Most of the vehicles were parked in the Forbidden Garden, and the sergeants also stayed there. The Golden Sword Army and the Silver Spear Army escorted them all the way here. Their mission has been completed - the Golden Sword Army will return to the construction, and the Flying Bear and Silver Spear Army will be transferred.
To the Central Plains.
Shao Shude has been accompanying the saint's chariot.
The saint might be tired and didn't like to talk to him very much. Queen He did make eye contact with him a few times, but she quickly lowered her head. She might have felt that the Tutor's gaze was too piercing.
After crossing Tianjin Third Bridge, enter Duanmen and enter the Imperial City.
At this time, the saint became more energetic and looked at the official residence of the government office, which had already taken shape, with a slightly excited look on his face.
The imperial city is brightly lit, palace guards are everywhere, and the weapons are strong.
The saint's face fell again.
The Shence Army has been demobilized, and all the people in Luoyang Imperial City and Palace City are Shao Shude's soldiers. If you think about it with your toes, you will know that the situation living in Luoyang Palace City is worse than in Chang'an.
Although Han Quanhui and Liu Jishu were domineering and cooperated with Shao Shude, they did not want the Tang Dynasty to fall, which would cause them to lose their source of power.
But it's different when it comes to Luoyang. The eunuchs and guards here are a new interest group, and the object of their allegiance is definitely not themselves.
Thinking of this, the saint wanted to hug people and cry again.
The chariot passed through the Yingtian Gate, exited the imperial city, then entered the Qianyuan Gate, entered the palace city, and stopped in front of the Hanyuan Hall.
Shao Shude had already left. Wei Qing Murong Fu slowly stepped forward to see his Majesty, and then closed the palace gate on the grounds that it was getting late.
"Boom!" As the heavy iron-clad wooden door was tightly closed, the saint suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. He felt like he was trapped inside like a 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, personal attendants, and the little yellow gate were all there. He breathed a sigh of relief.
The guard's command sounded outside the Qianyuan Gate.
The saint secretly clenched his fists. This cage made him suffocate!
