"Coming! Coming!" A Taichang official ran over, out of breath.
"Play "The Music of Taihe"." Taichang Qing Guo Fu personally ordered.
Soon, drums and music were blaring in the wilderness, and everyone stood in silence, waiting silently.
It is a pity that Xinchao Yale has not been compiled yet.
This work is not easy. From the time of the former Tang Dynasty to the period of Taizong Li Shimin, it took more than ten years to gradually set the tone and then compile the music score as the main music of the Tang Dynasty. Before that, the former Sui Dynasty Yale was used
.
In the Xia Dynasty, it was actually the same. At this time, Tang music was played.
The first to arrive were the palace guards wearing helmets and armor. After they arrived, they first took over the post box guarded by Gong Chen's sergeants, and then patrolled carefully and drove all the irrelevant people outside.
Then came the majestic Silver Anzhi Sergeant and the honor guard.
Wei Xun, the new governor of Dezhou, raised his head and looked into the distance, quietly appreciating the power of the emperor.
In fact, he had seen Prince Le'an on patrol. But for some reason, perhaps due to psychological factors, he always felt that Prince Le'an's chariot was not as powerful as Prince Da Xia's, since the ceremonial regulations of the two were similar.
If you think about it carefully, maybe the reason lies in many details.
The bodyguards of Prince Le'an looked very good at first glance, but after standing there for a long time they became impatient and had a philistine look on their faces.
The accompanying officers don’t have much respect for Prince Le’an. They don’t investigate or correct the mistakes made by the guards, palace servants, and military guards in the ceremony. They are very casual. If you lose face, you will lose face. The emperor’s child has lost face in front of us.
Still less?
Finally, there is the environmental impact.
It is difficult for people to exist independently of society, and they have always been subtly affected by the social environment, which is the so-called group consciousness or consensus.
How many people would respect the situation of Prince Le'an? The local vassals and officials in the court and central government all have their own judgments on the world's situation. Prince Le'an is too pretentious, and he may even annoy everyone.
Therefore, in Wei Xun's eyes, the same ceremonial regulations have two feelings, which is actually quite normal.
I don't know how long it took, but a graceful and luxurious carriage stopped.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Seeing the saint get off the carriage, everyone saluted.
"Everyone, get up." Shao Shude raised his hands and said.
Following Shao Shude out of the car were Chongrong Wei, palace official Xie Shi and several female historians.
Xie was holding a box in his hand. Inside the box was the nuclear button—no, it was the national jade seal.
Wei Shi followed Shao Sheng step by step, holding her hands tightly. She was only twenty-three years old this year, and it was the first time she faced such an occasion, and she was very excited.
Wei Xun looked away as soon as his eyes came into contact with his sister, secretly thinking that saints are really particular about bringing the concubine to any occasion. Bringing his sister here this time really gave the Wei family face.
It's a pity that my sister has served the saint for ten years and still hasn't given birth to a son or a daughter. What a pity, what a pity!
"The sun is about to set on Yunnan Mountain, and the postal pavilion dismounts and faces the broken flowers. Since I went to conquer the West, I have been away from home every time when the flowers come." Looking at the gradually blurred handwriting on the stone tablet outside the pavilion, Shao Shude smiled and said: "Like Mr. Zhang.
A free and easy person can still not escape the prison of the secular world. In fact, it is the same when he comes out of the world. Wei Qing, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty is wise," Wei Xun replied.
Wei Xun was the son of Wei Zhaodu, who was transferred from Guanzhong to Dezhou as governor.
Also coming with them were officials or students from various provinces in Guannei, Guanbei, Longyou, and Hexi - Daxia had just captured a lot of territory in Hebei, so it was natural to appoint officials.
Wei Xun is the governor of Dezhou, Feng Shunqing is the governor of Jingzhou, and Xiao Chuqian is the governor of Cangzhou. These are the three main officials who are also present today.
"Feng Qing..." Shao Shude walked up to Feng Shunqing. He wanted to say something, but didn't. In the end, he could only sigh: "I know you have a harmonious nature, but after assassinating Jingzhou, don't be frivolous."
Feng Shunqing is Feng Yanqing's eldest brother.
Everyone in the Feng family seems to have longevity genes. Feng Shunqing is over seventy years old, but he is still in good spirits. I heard that he often has banquets and invites performers, which makes people laugh and cry.
He has a humorous personality, is proud of his talent, and even a little frivolous, and loves to tease people, so his career in the officialdom is not smooth. If Feng Yanqing had not shown his old face and pleaded this time, Feng Shunqing would not have been able to come to Jingzhou, even if it was just a post of governor.
.
As for why Feng Yanqing tried so hard to sacrifice the love between the emperor and his ministers and seek a position as the governor of Jingzhou for his brother, the reason is very simple. Although their clan has moved to Hezhong for many years, their ancestral home is Jingzhou after all, and there are also people from the Feng clan in the local area.
, don’t ask for it here, but ask for it somewhere else - the Feng family’s ancestral home is Quan County. This county was originally part of Jingzhou, then returned to Jizhou, and is now controlled by the Xia army.
"Your Majesty." Feng Shunqing was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that even a saint would know about his reputation, so he could only reply: "I will do my best to serve as an official and benefit the country."
"Not only that, the Feng family is also a powerful family in Hebei. Let's pick up the relationship that was broken in the past. I'm waiting for your good news." Shao Shude said.
"I obey the decree." Feng Shunqing said immediately.
At the same time, I secretly warned myself that the position of governor of Jingzhou was not easy to come by. From now on, I must quit drinking and sex, and I must work hard - well, when an old man who is over seventy years old says that he wants to quit sex, I have to say that the world is so big, there are all kinds of things.
,I admire you.
"Xiao Qing..." Shao Shude stopped in front of Xiao Chuqian and said: "Of the three states in Cangjingde, Cangzhou should be the first. I leave it to you. Don't let me down."
Cangzhou is the capital of Heng Haijun, and it is close to Youzhou. The situation is very complicated, and it is not easy to be the governor of Cangzhou.
Shao Shude thought over and over again and decided that it would be best to appoint someone who was both civil and military and whom he could trust to be the governor.
After much deliberation, I ordered Xiao Chuqian to guard the place for him.
This gentleman is the eldest son of Xiao Fu, the imperial eunuch. He was a county magistrate in Henan before and was later transferred to Longyou. He served successively as Sima, chief historian, and town general. Later he went to Guanzhong and served as the commander of Yanzhou Prefecture Army. After receiving the transfer order, he rushed over at starry night.
face saint.
Judging from Xiao Chuqian's resume, he has mixed civil and military positions, but this is actually normal for a family member.
Compared with small families, their educational resources are too strong. With abundant financial support, they can learn both civil and military skills. And Xiao Chuqian is very talented. He has achieved success in articles, martial arts, and military strategy. He initially made his fortune in the army.
, then he occupied an official position as a warrior and became a county magistrate. Later, he continued to serve in Longyou and Guan Nei, and was gradually promoted. He held both civil and military positions and achieved good political results.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of Cangzhou in an orderly manner." Xiao Chuqian replied calmly.
Shao Shude nodded and said: "I heard that the Xiao family still has many talents living in the countryside. Xiao Qing might as well recruit more of them. It's not a problem to avoid them all."
"According to the order." Xiao Chuqian replied.
He knew what the saint meant. A family like the Xiao family has many branches and descendants, so not everyone is willing to work for Shao Sheng. Everyone has their own ambitions, and there is no way. The saint's meaning is probably to recruit as many people as possible, not only
The Xiao clan members and others who have received their favor.
For example, Xiao Lin once served as an official under Wang Rong. Wang Rong valued him very much and trusted him very much. After the king of Le'an County came to the throne, he once recruited him to join the court, but Xiao Lin refused.
This kind of valuable Xiao clan member is the target of the saint.
"Cangzhou is at the beginning of peace, and the people are worried. Please pay more attention." After Shao Shude finished his instructions, he waved his hand and asked a group of senior squires from various counties in Dezhou to come over.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Everyone said in confusion.
Shao Shude looked at these people carefully.
As one of the first local powerful people to stand up and show their respect after the war, Shao Shude was curious about who they were.
According to the information provided by Tingwangsi, they are basically small tycoons with some land in the countryside. However, the amount of land does not seem to be much, which is far worse than that of Guanzhong and Jiangnan in the early years. This has a great relationship with the political ecology of Hebei
, it is difficult for large landowners to develop in the vast land. After all, if you want to grow bigger, you have to annex land. If you are given another chance, think carefully, whose land do you want to annex?
"There is no reason to spit out the land I conquered. Occasionally it changed hands, but it was finally recaptured." Amid everyone's anxiety, Shao Shude finally spoke, and he was heard to say: "Dezhou, don't you guys?"
I think things have changed."
"How dare! How dare!"
"Since Texas is a royal land, we are singing and dancing, and we are overjoyed."
"In the past, Lu Yanwei ruled Dezhou, but alas, the people were in dire straits, and everyone suffered greatly. Now that the saint is patrolling the north, we can escape from the sea of misery."
"Exactly! Lu Yanwei was cruel and unkind, and Wang Qixian acted as an aide, causing us a lot of suffering."
Shao Shude listened with a smile.
These squires and elders are all Lu Yanwei's minions. They provide him with martial arts disciples and train civil servants for him to manage politics. If you look through the eight generations of their ancestors, you will find that most of them were born as military warriors in the Henghai navy. They are deeply entwined in the town.
Know how much benefit you have gained.
Now that Lu Yanwei has fallen, everyone is rushing to separate their relationships. Isn't it ridiculous?
But he was too lazy to delve into these matters. Just pretend to be confused and don't take it too seriously.
These people have already expressed their surrender and are willing to donate their financial resources and even cut off their flesh to give some benefits. This is enough.
To govern Hebei, we cannot rely solely on military force. If the local virtuous people can unite the war, they will unite the war. If they cannot unite the war, have a rigid attitude, and still miss the benefits of separatism in the past, they will suppress it with iron blood without hesitation.
"Okay." Shao Shude stretched out his hand, stopped a group of squires from talking, and said: "After we go back, we can live our lives in peace. I won't settle old scores, and you guys shouldn't cause trouble."
"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone shouted sincerely.
They actually inquired. When Shao Sheng entered Bianzhou, he stabilized the situation in Henan in a short period of time with the words "not to settle old scores." Then he completely took over Zhu Quanzhong's bureaucracy, digested his army, and made the Great Xia Forbidden Army proud.
North and south, sweeping through every town.
Now that the Holy Emperor is patrolling the north, he has also proposed "not to settle old scores", which means that they will not be held accountable for helping Lu Yanwei in the past and desperately fighting against the Xia army. You know, many of them are with their family's skilled archers and horses.
, followed Lu Yanwei to plunder Dizhou, Bozhou and other places several times, and there are countless dark histories.
After Shao Shude received everyone, he entered Dezhou City.
Wei Xun was a few steps behind, stopped in front of a group of squires, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you quickly donate your wealth, food, women, and warriors? The saint said that he won't settle old scores, so you can show his sincerity later.
None?"
"Your Majesty is joking." A man came forward and said, "It has been prepared for a long time. If the saint does not accept it, we will not be relieved."
This is not a lie. If the money, food, beauties, and warriors offered are not accepted, it will not be enough to protect the suspicious people, and they will take desperate risks after returning.
"It's a good idea to wait." Wei Xun smiled and felt relieved. Then he quickened his pace and followed the saint, introducing him to the current situation in Texas in detail.
