After Wei Weiqing Murong Fu read the secret order, his brows were as wrinkled as the Chinese character Sichuan.
There are already more than 5,000 palace guards, including veterans over forty years old who have retired from the army, children of noble chiefs, and slave guards and pro-army troops. The personnel are complex, but generally there is no problem.
The people in the palace are not complete yet.
Taking the eunuchs as an example, some are children of eunuch families who have come to seek refuge, some are young Tibetan people captured from Daibei Grassland, and some are newly recruited. These people still need to be continuously inspected. Anyway, the core department is mostly people from eunuch families, so they are relatively reliable.
.
Some of the palace maidens were donated by various tribes, some were from noble families, and some were the families of captured enemy generals. It was also very complicated.
Over at Ziwei City, most of the palace people came from Chang'an, brought here by the saint.
If the saint is really careless, he may still do some "stupid things". But he seems to have forgotten that when King Xia went to the Daming Palace to meet the saint, the people standing guard inside and outside the palace were all Xia soldiers. In matters related to his own safety,
In terms of matters, King Xia didn't care about face at all, and he didn't follow any rules. The saint may have thought too much - as a martial artist, it is normal to not follow the rules.
He planned to go to Qiu Silian today to discuss how to remain calm and change the palace guests on the day when the saint hosted a banquet for King Xia. The saint's expression would be very wonderful then.
In the afternoon, Murong Fu left the Yamen of Weiwei Temple and went to Shangyang Palace for inspection.
The construction site of the second hall of Yongshou and Jiaofang is in full swing, and the construction of the palace is progressing very quickly. In the open space in front of the hall, a large group of palace guards are practicing archery, and Sanlang and Shilang of the Shao family are here.
Murong Fu waited quietly for a while, and when he saw that the two princes' practice had come to an end, he stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "The two princes' archery skills have become somewhat mature."
Shao Mianren, a young man with a young mind, was a little happy after hearing Murong Fu's praise, and said: "Weiwei Miaozan, I am still a step behind you. Even the eldest brother and the second brother are much better than me."
Shao Guancheng was a little shy and stood behind his brother without speaking.
"Your Highness has summoned us. The two princes must leave early." Murong Fu said, "I have sent a hundred cavalry to line up outside Tixiang Gate. They will escort the two princes to Weizhou."
Shao Sanlang, how did Shao Silang go to Weizhou? Of course he went on horseback, could it be possible that he also took a carriage? Anyway, Murong Fu didn't receive any special orders, so preparing two docile old horses was the best he could do.
Take care of it.
"The guard is interested." Shao Mianren bowed and saluted, then turned around and said: "Fourth brother, let's go, don't keep us waiting. The sons of the Shao family must go into battle to hone their skills. Eldest brother, the second brother has already taken charge of the army alone.
I’ll have to work hard too.”
"Brother is right." Shao Guancheng also bowed to Murong Fu and said.
Murong Fu returned the gift and looked at the two of them with admiration.
It's a pity that Saburo and Shiro's mother clan are not strong enough to provide much help.
Dalang got married to the Zhang family of the Guiyi Army and got married. The Zhang family sent many high-quality war horses, armor, and weapons as dowries, as well as carefully selected Shazhou warriors as personal followers.
Needless to say, Erlang, the eldest son, received top-notch treatment, and the Zhe family also provided considerable help.
Saburo's mother clan, the Hezhong Feng clan, seems to have considerable influence, but it is limited to civilian officials and cannot provide much military assistance.
Shilang is even worse. His mother, Zhuge, was originally the niece of King Xia. She was taken home before getting married and later gave birth to Shao Silang. If we talk about her maternal background, theoretically she has an uncle, Zhuge Zhongfang, who was also from Shannanxi.
Dao Jiedushi, but at this juncture, it may not be a good thing.
It only depends on which family they will marry with in the future. If they can marry with generals like Li Tangbin and Lu Huaizhong, they can provide powerful help, otherwise it will be in vain.
Of course, these thoughts only circulated in his mind and would never be expressed to his mouth. As a slave general of the Supreme Khan, he would not have any inclination on the surface and would not make friends with any officials or nobles.
Maybe in a few years, he will return to the grassland to manage the tribe, because the number of slave members among the palace guards will change, and he may leave with him. Not only is it taboo to make friends with the officials of the dynasty, but it also doesn't make much sense.
People like them, whose wealth and glory all depend on the Khan's thoughts, are completely different from those who have been admitted as Jinshi or generals who have made military achievements. To put it bluntly, they are almost the same as eunuchs. The difference is that they have eggs.
Chapter 56 Tao
Just one without eggs.
Shao Sanlang and Shao Silang left that day.
Murong Fu sighed and continued to inspect the three palace complexes of Ziwei City, Shangyang Palace, and Shendu Garden.
****
". Every merit must be rewarded. This is the special kindness of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. There is no doubt that the undertaking is the story of Deng Sikong. The previous official documents have been completed, and the rhyme is jingzheng. Since then, he has made great achievements. He has made a famous county and is known to the public.
*** You should encourage loyalty and regulations, hold your title to the throne, and use the good deeds of deputy Liu Hong to make it difficult for Li Guang to seal him. I need to send you to inform the governor of Zhili Road."
In the political hall, Zhu Pu sighed deeply.
Han Jian, the governor of Ruzhou, must be one of Shao Shude's confidants. The military leader who was originally illiterate has studied hard over the years and has extraordinary perseverance, and he has become proficient in writing.
Moreover, this person is quite capable. He has obviously not read a few books and has not learned how to manage the world and the country, but he manages the local prefectures and counties in an orderly manner. Wherever he handles, he does not tell the road or pick up things, at least the people have no expressions of hunger on their faces.
Public security is good, summer and autumn taxes are collected, and there are not many cases of families being destroyed by tax collectors.
This guy has some crooked talent!
He was now appointed as the governor of Zhili Road, in charge of the civil affairs of the fourteen prefectures of Luo, Ru, Zheng, Meng, Huai, Shaanxi, Guo, Tang, Deng, Sui, Xiang, Jun, Fang and Shang.
The position of governor had actually appeared a long time ago. Zhu Pu was familiar with history books, how could he not know it?
But are the governors of the Northern Dynasty and the governors of this dynasty the same thing?
Moreover, the division of Zhili Road is also very interesting. Zhu Pu asked someone to bring a map and examine it carefully.
Obviously, this so-called Zhili Road is viewed from Luoyang's central perspective.
The two states of Menghuai in Hebei Province, Shangzhou in Guannai Road, Tang, Deng, Suixiang and Junfang in Shannan East Road, and Luo Ru, Zheng Shaanguo in Henan Road are actually of great significance if we study them deeply.
Basically, they are all prefectures and counties that Shao Shude has spent great efforts to reorganize or are about to be settled and settled. He distributes land to people, rents cattle and sheep, rents farm tools, and arranges veterans to serve as township officials. The prefectures and counties are also his people, as well as the families of all military personnel.
Also arrange it in these places as much as possible
In other words, most of the so-called fourteen states of Zhili Province are Shao Shude's "iron plate", and they are places where his ruling foundation is very strong.
In addition, it is also very interesting from the perspective of mountain geography.
In ancient times, Hanoi defended the northern border of Luoyang, Hongnong defended the Han Valley Road, and Zhengzhou shielded the east side. Nanyang and Xiangyang were the southern hinterland of Luoyang, plus the mountainous areas of Shang, Jun, and Fang, which were also included and could be entered through waterways.
Plain on the east side.
This Zhili Road is divided very carefully. Shao Shude did spend a lot of thought on running his hometown in Luoyang.
Alas, how can Li Keyong, Luo Shaowei, Wang Rong and the like deal with such a person?
The authority of Zhili Road is not in Henan Prefecture, but in Liliang County, Ruzhou Prefecture. Han Jian was appointed as the first governor of Zhili Road, and He Fan, the commander of the Henan Fuzhou Army, was promoted to the "Commander of the Capital of Zhili Road"
--This commander of Hedu is also one of Shao Shude's confidants. He was a martial arts student and served as a general in the Tianxiong Army. After being injured, he went to the state army system and guarded more than 20 counties in Henan Prefecture for him, and was redeployed to the Tiande Army.
Being appointed as the military envoy to the left wing shows your trust.
After Zhu Pu read the map, he silently returned to his seat and thought carefully.
This reform was apparently jointly proposed by Prime Ministers Xiao Lian and Pei Shu, but everyone in the government and the public knew who had given the order.
There are more than ten roads in the country, but they are only geographical divisions. There are occasional interviewers and supervisors, and there are no permanent ones. Since the difficult times, the roads have existed in name only. The country is actually a three-level management system of feudal towns, prefectures, and counties, and feudal towns have their own rules.
Du envoys, observation envoys, and defense envoys are in charge of military and political power. Prefectures have governors, and counties have magistrates, each of whom performs their duties.
Shao Shude's new approach was actually to merge multiple vassal towns together and centralize them, but separate the military and political affairs, each with its own officials.
To be honest, he appreciates this change because it gives them opportunities as civil servants.
It's a pity that this is a warrior leader who is about to commit treason, alas!
On the one hand, Zhu Pu was disgusted with Shao Shude's usurpation of the throne, but on the other hand, he was deeply attracted by his grand blueprint. He was conflicted and felt in a mess that is difficult to describe.
Zhili Road is not the last one. In fact, according to Zhu Pu,
Chapter 56 Tao
According to the news, Guanbei Road will also be established soon, with jurisdiction over the eleven prefectures of Xia, Sui, Yin, You, Ling, Yan, Hui, Feng, Sheng, Lin, and Shen. This is basically the area under the jurisdiction of Dashuofang Town during the heyday of the country.
Zhu Pu is from Xiangyang and has never been to this place, but he heard that it was done very well. The household registration increased greatly, and the cattle and sheep were wild. It was even better than during the Tianbao period. After all, this was the place where Shao Shude started.
It is said that the governor of Guanbei Province will be appointed by Huang Tao, the governor of Puzhou, to govern Lingzhou. The governor of Guanbei Province is likely to be Shishu Cong, a descended general of the Liang Army. He has been idle at home most of the time before, and now he will go to the post to command the governor of Guanbei Province. The state soldiers of a state are gone.
"If King Xia can insist on implementing it, it can be said to be an act of bringing order out of chaos." Zhu Pu slapped his hand on the table, which shocked the civil servants and officials to look over.
"Nothing." He waved his hand and said.
The assistants continued to work, but Zhu Pu sighed again.
When Xiao Chuan and Pei Shu proposed this reform, some officials who were hostile to the Xia king thoughtlessly opposed it, but he did not, and for this reason he was already regarded as a traitor by some people.
In this regard, Zhu Pu was also helpless. I just wanted to do something beneficial to the country, but the atmosphere in the court was very bad. He viewed people and things entirely based on his position, which made him in a dilemma.
"Well, there are some things that people just want to bother themselves with. I can sit upright and don't care about the rumors!" Zhu Pu thought to himself: "If you really can't do it, then go ahead and ask the King of Xia for a governorship. Even if you have a good job, you can also benefit the people of one area. This smoky center is really annoying."
