"He was born to prosper the people, he was the shepherd of the tree, the two emperors promoted the throne to the throne, and the three kings took advantage of the opportunity to revolutionize, which is the ultimate... Marshal King Xia, endowed with the appearance of a saint, has the strategy of magic and martial arts... the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth
, enjoy being virtuous...according to Heaven and obeying the people, following the rules of Yao and Shun..."
The book is not long, so I read it quickly, and then the two of them looked at Shao Shude.
"There are four hundred states in the country, with tens of millions of people living in it. There are countless people who can be as talented as Liang Dong, and there are countless people who can be appointed as generals. How can I be worthy? I respectfully ask the saint to take back his life." Shao Shude declined.
"The Taifu is loyal, as can be seen from the sun and the moon." Pei Shu said with emotion: "In that case, we will return to the palace and report to the saint."
"It's natural." Shao Shude smiled.
Pei Shu and Zhang Wenwei completed the process and left Shendu Garden.
Shao Shude came to Shangyang Palace and continued to handle government affairs.
One good news and one bad news.
The good news is that Li Tangbin moved his troops to Lianshui, and the Huai army went out of the city to fight, but was defeated. Yan Bao, the deputy envoy of the Holy Army, killed Huai general Kang Ru.
, captured thousands of people, and Lianshui was restored.
At this point, only Xuyi County on the south bank of Sizhou was still under the control of the Huai army, and most of the entire territory was recovered.
The bad news is that Zongben and Ding Hui led an army of more than 30,000 people, attacked Shuzhou for the second time, intercepted the grain route for the Huai army navy, and retreated to Qizhou in defeat.
Fortunately, the losses were not big. The bandits took advantage of the weak victory and reached the territory of Qizhou, but finally returned without success.
I heard that Yang Xingmi is mainly sorting out internal affairs recently, taking over power and paving the way for his son Yang Wo.
His silly son! Shao Shude smiled.
The thousands of soldiers that the father left for his son to save his life originally lived in Guangling Yacheng to protect Yang Wo's safety. However, they thought the military camp took up too much space and affected his fun, so they transferred the troops and then demolished the military camp to provide for him.
Horse riding and shooting and playing polo. The consequence was that Xu Wen and others no longer had any scruples, decisively launched a mutiny and imprisoned Yang Wo.
To be so heartless and devoid of sensitivity at all is a rare feat.
There are many other seals on the royal table.
Zhuge Shangren, the governor of Tongzhou, presented the book and submitted it to the imperial court.
Liu Fang, the governor of Jizhou, surrendered with more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians.
Zhuge An, the governor of Bizhou, refused to surrender and was killed by Yang Liang, the envoy of the Golden Sword Army. Bizhou was restored.
Zhang Qi, the governor of Kaizhou, stood up on his own initiative, but was killed by his subordinates. He asked Kaicheng to surrender.
Zhuge Tai, the governor of Bazhou, surrendered.
Quzhou surrendered.
The gates of Pengzhou were closed and no envoys were accepted.
Guozhou voted for Li Maozhen.
Enclave text, Fuerzhou is waiting...
Overall, the situation is quite good. Zhuge Zhongfang should have played a considerable role, and it is said that he surrendered many people. But judging from the relatively divided actions of the provincial governors, although he has been a military envoy for more than ten or twenty years,
, his control over the town is still limited. Who gives him the courage to stand on his own?
Shao Shude almost laughed angrily after reading these memorials.
Warrior, warrior, virtue!
"As soon as the Sanchuan Military News arrives, it will be submitted to my desk without delay," Shao Shude said.
No matter how concerned you are about the heir, you can never be too concerned.
In fact, he pays close attention to his older sons.
The eldest son is in Andong Prefecture, the second son is in Xingyuan Prefecture, and the third son has gone to Wendeng County to serve as a household official. This is an official position, but he can be exposed to all aspects, which is very important for familiarity with local affairs.
The fourth son stayed with him to receive education. The fifth son and the following children were slightly younger and were still receiving education in literature, martial arts, mathematics, and management for the time being.
What Shao Shude just said was to Pei Tong.
Pei Tong is also an old man. He has not yet been assigned an official position. He is still in charge of the same group of people who were in the Tingwang Division of the Shuofang shogunate, plus Datong Mahang.
Shao Shude was still hesitating whether to establish a spy agency. During the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, informants were rampant and ruthless officials were rampant, and everyone complained about them. Therefore, the reputation of the spy agency in the country was bad, and the agency of bad people gradually disappeared after the Anshi Rebellion.
Basically finished.
After thinking about it, Shao Shude decided to do this secretly.
"Tingwang Division, you should carefully screen the people of Datong Horse Company and select capable forces to integrate them." He said: "From now on, they will directly take orders from me and will not be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Once the needs are met, I will find a way."
"As ordered." Pei Tong responded.
In fact, he still wants to be a court official. Walking around in darkness all day long is not in line with his temperament. Unfortunately, it seems that King Xia is not going to give him this opportunity. He has to continue to manage Tingwangsi and Datongmahang.
A bunch of ghosts and ghosts continue to inquire about the military situation. Even after the founding of the country, they may want to spy on the ministers. This is really...
What evil has the Pei family done to do this?
Does being a cruel official and doing dirty work always lead to a happy ending?
But he had no choice but to keep going until someone came to take over - and even then, he might not be able to get real relief.
After Pei Tong left, Shao Shude continued to govern.
What he is most concerned about now is actually the attitude of all the towns in the world. The recent series of policies to abolish vassals and establish roads have been seen by the military leaders. From now on, there will be no vassals and towns in this new dynasty. For them,
It is said that all vassal towns are "enemy countries" and are not within the territory of the New Dynasty. Either death or surrender, there is no third way.
If we act quickly, most of the states in Shannan West Road should be included in the territory when the New Dynasty is founded.
****
On April 15th, more than ten days have passed. Under Shao Shude's hint, a large number of people came to persuade today's lunar meeting.
The next day, Prime Minister Pei Zhi and Hanlin scholar Liu Can arrived with a written document, requesting the Grand Tutor to ascend the throne.
Shao Shude is receiving the Zhe Silun family who have entered the court.
"It's been a few years since I've been to Guangzhou. Everything is still the same, right?" Shao Shude was more polite to the Zhe family. Not only did he personally receive the Zhelun family in the mansion, he also casually asked about the studies of several younger children and gave them rewards.
"People in the three states of Shen Guangshou are still circulating the past stories of His Highness's battles." Zhe Silun said: "Especially in the Battle of Feishui, Zhu Yanshou was defeated and escaped alone. There were also military generals who returned to their hometowns to visit relatives, and His Highness General
His heroic demeanor spread to every corner."
Shao Shude laughed happily.
The original intention of the southern tour that year was to show his face on the southern battlefield, so that the local generals would only recognize Zhe's family and not know Shao. Later, the war situation changed, so he personally led the Tielin Army to march eastward, captured Shouzhou, and captured Shouzhou at Shenguangshou.
Ten thousand soldiers were recruited and organized into the right wing of the Tielin Army.
Many years have passed, and these soldiers have slowly dispersed into various departments of the Forbidden Army. During the rest period, some people returned to their hometowns to visit their relatives, and they helped spread the story of Shao Shude. Over time, the people in the three states of Shen Guangshou still had a very good impression of Taifu Shao.
"There are so many things involved in the founding of the country." Shao Shude said: "These days, I am very busy without touching the ground. I am very happy that you can join the court. The Shao family will share the wealth and honor."
"Everything the Zhe family has today is due to Your Highness." Zhe Silun said: "Without Your Highness, the Zhe family would still be living in that small place in Guanbei, struggling to be the governor of Linzhou and the land of three counties.
He is nothing more than an overlord. Now that he has enjoyed the taste of being a military governor, the wealth and expenses of his family are something that was unimaginable before. What can I say? Just follow His Highness."
"If you think so, I feel relieved." Shao Shude said with emotion.
Among the old people, Zhuge Zhongfang was the only one who made a mistake and couldn't think about it, but the others were all good.
Zhe Silun is about to go to Beiya to be the Deputy Privy Envoy, a high-ranking official of the third rank. Zhuge Zhongfang can only go to work under Chen Yishen and become a Taipu Cheng from the sixth rank. As for the title, it will be decided based on the posthumous title.
As a result, the current decision is to be the son of Yunyang County, with a food seal of 500 households. This is due to his efforts in persuading some Shannan West Daozhou counties to surrender, otherwise he would only be a county man of 300 households.
A slight difference in thoughts, a difference in circumstances, clouds and mud, would future generations rather ignore it?
"Your Highness, the angel has arrived." Li Yixian walked in and reported.
"Okay, I'll go out to greet you personally." Shao Shude straightened his robe, confessed to Zhe Silun, and went out.
After a while, the incense table was set up in the courtyard.
Pei Zhi and Liu Can read out the renunciation document in public: "...the great treasure of the husband, the most important artifact, the virtue of the Tang Dynasty fills the universe, and the merits of Qianli, focusing on the merits of Huanalu, and the achievements of Wenming in guiding Sichuan.
In the reign of Emperor Xi, when he conquered the Heavenly Works, how could he rule all the nations and take care of the eight extremes... The marshal King Xia, with a dragon face and auspicious qualities, and jade and elegant writings. He determined the world with his wise counsel and military power, and caressed China with his rich wealth and deep benevolence. His miraculous merits are supreme.
In front of the ultimate light... All opportunities cannot last long, and destiny cannot be lost for a long time. God Ye Xin has returned to virtue. I respect the Zen sage who spreads the world, and retires to the old vassal..."
This is the third volume.
The tone of the first part was very calm. It mainly talked about the affairs of Yao and Shun, the prophecy of prophecies, the Tang Dynasty's lack of virtue, and the destiny of destiny for the virtuous.
Shao Shude refused, on the grounds that he wanted to wipe out the world and seek life for the common people in the world, and had no selfish motives.
The tone of the second one was a little more serious. Regarding Shao Shude's reasons for declining, he focused on his achievements and contributions to the world. He believed that with such immortal achievements, only you are suitable to be emperor, and the meaning of persuasion was stronger.
Shao Shude also refused, on the grounds that there were too many talented and meritorious people in the world and it was not suitable.
Please note that the tone and reasons of the one who gives in and the one who refuses are all changing. In fact, they follow the process.
The third volume of articles came today. This time the tone was more urgent, and it used urging sentences such as "All opportunities cannot be left unattended for a long time, and destiny cannot be lost for a long time."
According to the rules, this job still has to be declined.
So, I heard Shao Shude sigh: "The ancestors of the Tang Dynasty built the emperor's plan, burned the red industry, and sacrificed it for two hundred and eighty years. How can I bear to destroy it? It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate."
Although he still declined this time, his tone was weakened. The reason was obvious: as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, he could not bear to destroy the 280-year-old foundation of the Tang Dynasty - his determination seemed not as firm as before.
We all are human beings, and we knew that the next letter would be to advise the Taifu to "not stick to trivial matters", to make a living for the world, to completely abandon their own selfishness, not to care about the slander of others, to ascend the throne of the emperor as soon as possible, and to benefit the world.
But that time, the Taifu would not refuse. He would complain that everyone had framed him for being disloyal and unjust, and then "reluctantly" become the emperor.
The entire abdication process is now complete. What follows is the preparation work before the new king ascends the throne.
