Chapter 1023 Implementation

 March 22, the seventh year of Qianning, the weather was good.

Early in the morning, the ceremonial guards were all around Hanyuan Hall. Because Weiwei Temple had not yet recruited all the ceremonial guards, many palace guards were temporarily dispatched to fill the role.

All civil and military officials below the fourth rank are listed in the courtyard in front of the palace, while those above the third rank rest temporarily in the side hall.

Shao Shude was wearing a prince's purple robe and was sitting behind the case. Prime Minister Xiao Yu stood in front of him, reporting something in a low voice like a subordinate.

After a while, Qiu Silian also rushed over, looking a little uneasy.

He was not too old or too young, in his mid-thirties, and he became a chamberlain of the fourth rank for the first time, and was one of the heads of the chamberlain department. But after the saint traveled to Luoyang, he brought a group of palace people with him , which suddenly weakened his control over Ziwei Palace. To be honest, he was a little scared and kept asking for forgiveness.

Prime Minister Zhu Pu glanced here secretly, then turned his head.

The personal soldiers who never left the King of Xia disappeared this time. It is true that there were Xia soldiers inside and outside the palace, but on some special occasions, Xia soldiers were not allowed to enter, such as court meetings, pilgrimages, etc. In addition, if the saint gave a banquet alone, he could not enter. It's impossible to shout and support, and you can't even carry weapons.

How did Yu Wenhu die? When he was visiting the Queen Mother, he was hit on the back of the head with a jade hut, and he fell to the ground. He was then killed with a knife by Yu Wenzhi, who had hidden in the house in advance.

The story of Cao Cao sweating profusely when he met Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is even more widely known.

Even powerful ministers sometimes find themselves alone.

Zhu Pu didn't think it was a good thing to kill King Xia, as that would only bring disaster to the court. And it hadn't reached this point yet, King Xia was still very considerate, and he tried his best to raise all the things needed for the court meeting in one day. , can be described as respectful.

But then again, this is a lot to say in one day.

Take for example the incident of running out of bells. Now that I have ascended the throne, I will visit the suburban temple in person, but there are no musical instruments hanging in the palace. Prime Minister Zhang Jun was ordered to remake them. At that time, Chang'an was in chaos, and the musicians and craftsmen were scattered. There were people in Taichang Temple who knew how to make such instruments. It was almost extinct, but with the help of Dr. Yin Yingsun from Taichang, Xiao Chengxun, a virgin who was proficient in music, Li Congzhou from Taiyue Ling, and Chen Jingyan, a Liyuan musician, the production was finally completed, with a total of 240 pieces.

Zhu Pu was still in the Hanlin Academy at the time. After hearing this, he lamented with his peers that if Chang'an was looted by rebels again and Zhong Qing was lost, most likely not even a single talent would be found next time, and the inheritance of Taichang Temple would definitely be cut off.

But, how did Dongdu do it? Could it be that they recruited talents from Chang'an and prepared in advance?

This advance preparation is the scariest thing.

Xiao Qu quickly returned to his seat and closed his eyes to rest. Qiu Silian also left in disgrace. After a while, Prime Minister Pei Shu passed by again.

Zhu Pu couldn't help but take another look.

He knew Pei Shu well. He was an upright man, he liked to inquire deeply, and he had a mind to help the world. But he was not that kind of loyal person, and he was a very complicated person.

Zhu Pu felt that he could cooperate with Pei Shu, but he could not have a close friendship. This person liked to discuss matters on the matter and was principled. He would not completely deny you because you are from a different faction, nor would he open his eyes and tell lies just because you were from his own faction. He will still scold him when he should be scolded. His loyalty may not necessarily be the emperor, this is Zhu Pu's vague idea.

"It's rare for the Fourteenth Master to praise me." A hearty laughter sounded next to him. Zhu Pu turned his eyes and saw King Xia and Pei Shu talking happily.

"In my plan, there will be one first-class national highway in the east and west, and in the north and south." Shao Shude became interested and said: "Huaizhou Taihang Xingkou all the way south to Liang County, with a total length of more than 200 miles, has been fully connected.

This year we will definitely be able to build it to Jiacheng County. If we move quickly, we may be able to build an extra section further forward. I call this road Jinxiang Road, which connects Hedong and Xiangyang. The northern end should be in Jining County, Rouzhou, and the southern end should be in Jining County, Rouzhou.

It is Xiangyang County, Xiangzhou."

"Your Highness, the first-class national highway is naturally excellent, wide and flat, but it consumes too much people's energy. If we don't waste people's energy, the construction process will be protracted..." Pei Shu looked at Shao Shude curiously, wanting to hear what he had to say.

There is a hidden meaning in his words: Life is only a few decades, and you may not finish cultivation before you die. Is it worth it? He believed that Shao Shude understood.

"I am patient. I only do a few things in my life." Shao Shude said sincerely: "Many people like to do easy things and don't like to do difficult things. Some people like to do things that are beneficial to them and don't like to do short-term things."

I don’t see results in anything. I just do the right thing, no matter whether it is difficult or not.”

"What is the right thing to do?" Pei Shu asked.

"Cutting down feudal vassals will bring peace to the world and bring peace to the people; promote trade tickets and prosper commerce; improve agriculture and cultivate fine seeds to keep people fed and clothed; improve transportation so that more people can afford goods from far away." Shao Shude picked up a few items.

The big one said it.

Zhu Pu could not help but be attracted and listened quietly.

To be honest, he was half-convinced. He had not believed it at all before. If he could do this, wouldn't he be an emperor through the ages? Surpassing all ancient emperors? Well, King Xia was not the emperor. Zhu Pu reviewed his treasonous thoughts.

But he also heard about some of the Xia king's reforms, especially the three-field system in agriculture and the centralized accounting system for expositions in commerce, which caused the most uproar.

Abandoning prejudices, King Xia's agricultural reforms greatly increased production. The same acre of land produced more than before. And the exposition also greatly alleviated the money shortage. After the peace of Guanxi, there were more business trips than crucian carp in the river.

Even more than during the Tianbao period.

Zhu Pu judged the three divisions and subconsciously felt that if he was allowed to collect taxes, he would definitely be able to collect a lot of money. Unfortunately, the king of Xia only collected taxes in the city, and the income was too little.

If there is a chance, he will definitely go to the memorial - er, persuade the King of Xia to change the tax system.

Alas, King Xia, if you were the Duke of Zhou, I would do my best to assist you, but it is a pity that you are Wang Mang.

Lu Guangqi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, secretly sneered. He is just a martial artist. He speaks so loudly that he doesn't know how to write even if I give you a pen. He still governs the country. It's ridiculous.

"The Emperor has ascended to the throne, and all the civil and military officials have entered one after another." When everyone was getting bored waiting, someone from Xiaohuangmen ran over and announced the order loudly.

Shao Shude glanced at this person. His accent was very strange. He must be a subordinate of Wang Yanfan and Qiu Silian.

In ancient times, the source of eunuchs can be divided into three categories, namely, poor people, criminals, and prisoners. Wei Zhongxian was so poor that he became a eunuch, and Zheng He was a war prisoner.

In the dynasty, the situation may have changed "billion points". Eunuchs became a family business and were passed down from generation to generation. Eunuchs had a prescribed limit for adopting sons according to different grades. After the son married a wife, the family spread, and only one

Just two of them became eunuchs. Over time, a huge family of eunuchs was created.

However, Shao Shude cannot trust those aristocratic families, and currently only Wang Yanfan and Qiu Silian dare to use them. By the way, Liu Jingxuan came to cry again recently, and Shao Shude decided to give him a chance.

After counting, there are only three eunuch families. There are not enough people, so we can only choose from the prisoners.

At this time, I have to mention Yang Yue. He captured many Tuyuhun and Uighur boys in Yunzhou and sent them to Luoyang. Wang Yanfan and Qiu Silian screened some of them and selected them to serve as eunuchs.

This little yellow door should be it.

When Shao Shude passed by him, he suddenly asked: "What is your name?"

"Pugu Chengen." Xiao Huangmen responded.

Shao Shude nodded and walked into Hanyuan Hall.

The hall is filled with ceremonial guards. According to the regulations, the imperial meeting requires hand-held hand-held flags and offering flags to be placed in the hall; yellow flag flags and chariots are erected in the courtyard outside the hall; fans are displayed on both sides of the hall; yellow flag flags and red flag flags are displayed on both sides of the hall.

, the three guards and others should follow from the emperor's palace all the way to the main hall, and then line up at the designated position outside the court.

Different honor guards carry different colors and utensils of flags, and there is also a hierarchy between them.

For example, the Sanshou Zhan and the Sacrifice Zhan standing in the hall, most of their members are noble disciples.

The honor guard also has the task of guarding the palace, that is, they are not just a guard of honor, they also have to stand guard and guard the palace. Sometimes they will swap duties with other palace guards.

Luoyang under the rule of Shao Shude did not have so many ceremonial guards. There were only simple palace guards under the Weiwei Temple. Therefore, these ceremonial guards were mostly seconded by Chishui soldiers as temporary guest appearances.

When all the officials entered the palace, they shouted long live, and then they were divided into two groups, either sitting or standing.

The four prime ministers of the political affairs hall and the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries all have seats. Shao Shude, as the Grand Tutor of the School, the King of Xia, the Jiedu Envoy of the Three Towns, and Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi, naturally has a seat.

The saint sat on the dragon chair, looking at the hundreds of officials, feeling a little excited - according to the regulations, during the imperial meeting, all officials above the ninth rank in Beijing must participate. There are more than 300 people in total, and there are only a hundred people in front of him. It can be seen that there are so many people.

Some people haven't followed yet.

"When the new capital is renovated, it will be prosperous. It is up to you to clean up the flaws and clean up the dirt, and keep the salt and new." After scanning around, the sage said: "If there is anything, I will report it."

The historians on the left and right stood under the dragon chair with their incense cases, silently looking at the ministers in the palace.

Xiao Qu, the assistant minister of Zhongshu and Tongping Zhangshi, was the first to come out and said: "Your Majesty arrived in the Eastern Capital, things started in a hurry, and all the officials were scattered. We still need ministers from all over to devote themselves to the royal family and work together to make good plans."

"If the teacher has outstanding talents, I can recommend him." The sage said.

Queen He sat aside and whispered a few words in the saint's ear.

"The three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, the inspector of the school, the Shangzhu Kingdom, the governor of Jinzhou, the military governor of Zhaoxin Army, the Duke of Chu Li Yanling was highly respected and good at farming, the two capitals were forbidden gardens, the shepherds were in charge, and the gardens and warehouses were raided.

If everything is well organized, it is advisable to prepare a list of gifts and appointments, and appoint him as Minister of Agriculture."

"Doctor Jin Ziguanglu is the censor of Zhongcheng, and Chen Yishen of Shangzhu State is very talented. Your Majesty is fortunate to have five chariots and chariots in the Eastern Capital. It is appropriate to prepare a ceremony and appoint him as the Imperial Servant."

"Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, who inspects the right Sanqi and often serves Murong Fu... It is appropriate to prepare a ceremony and appoint him as Wei Weiqing."

"Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, the guest of the prince of the school, is given a purple gold fish bag, and Guo Qi of the Shangzhu Kingdom... It is appropriate to prepare a gift book and appoint him as Taichang Qing."



Xiao Qu called many people's names in one breath, and basically confirmed the positions of Xiao Fu, Li Yanling, Guo Fu, Murong Fu, Li Hang, Zhao Guangyi, Pei Tong, Wei Zhuang, Zhao Keyu, Chen Yishen and others.

The saint's face darkened after hearing this, and all the officials were silent. Immediately, the two prime ministers Pei Shu and Pei Zhi came out to agree. Zhu Pu hesitated to speak, and finally had no objection.

The saint remained silent. Queen He glanced at him quietly. The saint took a deep breath and said, "It's accurate."

In the first round of confrontation, the Saint was completely defeated without any suspense.

He secretly hated Zhu Pu, so why didn't he come out to oppose it. Today, many kings and ministers came to the court meeting, so why didn't anyone object?

Shao Shude sat on the bed and watched quietly.

Finally, the emperor and officials still have some sense of control and are sensible people.

The saint wanted to hold a big court meeting, and I agreed without any hindrance. As a matter of courtesy, if these appointments cannot be implemented today, even if they are ugly, he will have to move a few ministers to establish his authority.

Fortunately, things didn't come to this point and everything went smoothly.

This bunch of civil and military officials, haha, they are all deadwood living their lives. No wonder Zhu Quanzhong wanted to kill them and throw them into the Yellow River. It was really useless.
