Chapter 1307 Farewell (Additional update for the leech on the grape branch of the alliance leader)
Yigu had to wait until the twelfth day of the first lunar month before a few officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, who looked unhappy, came to handle the formalities for him.
Guigu neither got angry nor smiled, and looked businesslike.
Brother Yelu Hua, on the other hand, was hanging around those green-robed officials, constantly trying to build relationships.
But they didn't think much of him at all. They just exchanged a few perfunctory greetings and then went to work.
Officials from the eighth rank are indeed good, but Wenquan Tangcheng? If he hadn't occasionally seen a saint in this position, these household officials who always had their nostrils turned upward would not pay attention to him as a Tibetan official.
"Jigu only..." Brother Yelu Hua cleared his throat.
"Call me uncle." Guigu punched Brother Hua on the chest and said in a cold voice.
Brother Hua fell back a few steps, furious, but after seeing Gu Gu's cold eyes, he swallowed again and did not dare to speak wildly.
"Trash! Shilu is also a trash. His own woman was abducted by his son and gave birth to an evil son. How can he still have the dignity to live in the world?" Gui Gu just sighed and said.
Hua Ge and Hua Gu had just given birth to a child, but I don’t know where Guigu found out about it.
Brother Hua blinked his eyes and subconsciously doubted the followers who had fled with him. However, it was not the time to delve into these nonsense at this time. Brother Hua calmed down and said loudly: "Gu Gu, I don't want to shout.
Your uncle. The saint asked me to supervise you, so I will supervise you well. If you have the ability, you can kill me!"
Gui Gu just looked at him quietly, his hand slowly stroking the handle of the knife.
Hua Ge kept swallowing his saliva, but still stood there, squeezing his neck and saying: "Who do you think you are? The saint just rewarded me with a concubine. Do you have one who once served Wang Rong? Does the saint look at you seriously?
?”
The green-robed officials who were busy at work originally thought they were noisy and wanted to drive them out. When they heard that Brother Yelu Hua had actually received a concubine as a reward from the saint, he was immediately in awe and his attitude became kind.
But Guigu just smiled and said: "Brother Hua, you have finally grown up. I think back then, Yue Liduo dared to shoot you with a bow and arrow, and you were so scared that you pissed your pants. You are actually a despicable person, but you have the ability to get into trouble.
With his temperament, being so devoted to the Great Xia Saint may not be a bad thing. Foolish people are blessed with foolishness..."
But I can't be such a fool and a villain. Jigu just sighed secretly, retreated outside the Yamen, and waited silently.
Seeing that Guigu had just left, Brother Hua came back to his senses.
I was almost scared to death just now. I don’t know how many people were killed by Guigu’s men. When he was conquering the Shiwei and Tatars in the north, he was the most ruthless in killing them. When he was conquering the Bohai Sea in the east, he saw the nobles of the Bohai Sea, and his hands were shaking so hard that he couldn’t stop killing them.
Then they took their wives and daughters home and ravaged them. I don’t know why they hated the Bohai scholars so much.
There is a street outside the Yamen. At this time, many people are walking out of the city carrying bamboo strips and rattan baskets, talking and laughing.
Yan Gu only looked at those people's baskets and found that there was a lot of food in them. Looking at their clothes, it seemed that they were not noble people, but ordinary people from ordinary families.
"Why is this? Today is Nanman - no, what kind of festival is it for the Xia people? The twelfth day of the first lunar month?" Guigu only walked up to Brother Hua and asked in a low voice: "Why are these people carrying baskets out of the city? Visiting graves? Giving alms?
"
Brother Hu glanced at it and said: "That's a New Year's dinner. It was left over on New Year's Eve. It was left out of the city on the twelfth day of the first lunar month and placed at the main thoroughfare. There is a saying of going to the old and embracing the new. Hua Gu also brought her servants out today.
It’s normal to abandon the New Year meal.”
Gui Gu only glanced at Brother Hua.
From an eighth-grade official, a saint rewarded me with a concubine, and there were servants and maids at home. On this day...
"Are Xia people very rich? Why don't you eat the New Year's Eve meal yourself?" Guigu simply asked.
"How much is a little leftover food worth?" Brother Hua said disdainfully: "Besides, it's not convenient for me to eat by myself if I live in the position of Sui Sui."
Gui Gu only nodded slowly.
No wonder Abaoji never forgets the Central Plains. Although Bohai is rich and even calls itself "Little China" behind closed doors, it seems to be a lot worse than Youzhou.
However, it is not a good thing for the Khitan that the Xia people are so wealthy.
What should I do if I am just rich, but I am so capable of fighting? Gui Gu can only remember the Battle of Bailangshui back then, when Li Keyong personally led the troops to fight against the Khitans.
At that time, Yan Gu only participated personally and sent his sons and nephews to lead an army to sneak attack on the Jin army's food road, but to no avail.
He was very confused. He had already attracted the main force of the Jin army far away from Linyu Pass, stretched their food road very long, and then sent cavalry to harass their food transport troops day and night. Why couldn't they succeed?
Why didn’t the master who was transporting food collapse?!
I saw the cavalry coming from afar, coming during the day and at night, harassing me repeatedly, why didn't I collapse?!
He had never thought clearly about this issue. But two days ago, when he saw a group of teenagers playing games with bows and arrows outside the city, he suddenly had an epiphany, alas!
****
Guigu only stayed in Peiping until the end of the first year, and all the procedures were almost completed.
Over the past half month, his horizons have been greatly opened.
Xiaren really loves to play!
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a large group of people carried rice wine, dried meat, and bean porridge out of the city to climb high and have a picnic.
As the moon dimmed, another large group of people gathered together to have a drink. They also found a place near the water for picnics and fun.
Throughout the first month of the first month, from the first day to the last day, almost everyone is eating and drinking. Either eating and drinking at home, or going out for picnics. Rich families have their own way of eating, and poor families have their own food. In short, the customs are the same.
Summer people love picnics a little too much...
Three days after the Sheri Festival, Brother Hua entered the palace to bid farewell.
Shao Shude was taking exams for the princes, princesses and their schoolmates - most of the schoolmates were the children of generals who died in battle or made great achievements, usually the peers of the princes and princesses, such as Li Xiuzeng, the commander of the Peking Prefecture Army.
He was born as a schoolmate in Longchi Palace.
"Qianzhong is really stubborn." Shao Shude sat on the tiger-skin chair, raised the memorial in his hand, and said, "Who did the prince of Le'an County send to central Guizhou back then?"
"In the fourth year of Dashun (893), the successor King Li Sizhou was appointed as the military governor of the Lingnan West Road; the successor king Xue and Zongzhengqing Li Zhirou were appointed as the military governor of the Qing Dynasty; the king of Yan Li Jiepi was appointed as the military governor of Jingjiang Army.
He was also promoted to the Observer of Central Guizhou as the Wutai Army, and Tong Wang Li Zi was appointed as the Military Envoy." Chen Cheng replied.
"After so many clans were released, where are they now?" Shao Shude asked with a smile.
"None of them are gone." Chen Cheng also laughed and said: "Li Sizhou died of illness, and Ye Guanglue, the commander of the shogunate's march, claimed to be the queen and was granted the title of Prince of Langning County in the third year of Jianji. Li Zhirou also died of illness in Guangzhou, and Liu Yin took over the power. Li Jie
Pi was attacked by Ma Yin, but his end was unknown. At the end of the first year of Jianji, Li Zi was killed by the Yamen general Wang Jianzhao. Jianzhao sent an envoy to the court and was granted the title of Prince of Central Guizhou."
The Prince of Le'an County had a pretty good idea. He thought that the southern vassal towns were more submissive, so he sent a few powerful clansmen out to occupy the trap, leaving the Li family dynasty with the idea of a comeback.
But in today's world, even the traditionally obedient southern warriors have gradually become unruly. How can they be so happy?
The warriors are very realistic. In the past, the imperial court still had prestige, and the southern vassal towns continued to offer sacrifices. After several disastrous defeats and the imperial court's prestige declined, there were fewer offerings and the frequency decreased. When the imperial court was completely exhausted,
Who will give you the favor of Prince Le'an?
Among the towns in the south, Jiangxi was ruled by the local tycoon Zhong of Hongzhou, Fujian was ruled by the Wang brothers who came from Cai in the south, and Hunan was controlled by the remnants of Sun Ru's soldiers. These people did not give the court any face, but directly took action, which was very ugly.
In comparison, in Lingnan West Road, the Qing navy waited until the imperial envoy died of illness before careerists officially came to power.
Jingjiang's army was defeated by Cai's thief Ma Yin. This is another story.
The one in central Guizhou is even more ridiculous. In the first year of Jianji's abdication, Shao Shude ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Wang Jianzhao, the general of the Qianzhou government, expelled the former clan's military governor and established himself as the remaining queen.
With such a weak foundation for rule, I wonder where Prince Le'an got his confidence?
"Wang Jianzhao, I remember he was a subordinate of Zhao Deqian?" Shao Shude asked.
Zhao Deqian was Zhao Kuangning, the father of Zhao Kuangming's brother. He was once a general of Qin Zongquan and was appointed as the governor of Shannan East Road.
"Exactly. Wang Jianzhao once attacked Jingnan for Zhao Deqian, but was defeated by Li Kan and fled to central Guizhou." Chen Cheng said.
"Zhao Kuangning has unified the old area of Kuixia Town, right?" Shao Shude said: "Xu Cun, Zhang Lian, Ximen Daozhao and others were defeated by him one by one. They control the big town in Jingnan. Their ability is not too bad. Pass the decree and deprive Wang Jian.
Zhao Ben held various positions and seized his title. He ordered Zhao Kuang to leave Kui Gorge and attack Qianzhou."
Because of Zhao Kuangning's good performance in the past few years, he was canonized as the King of Jiangling County last year. He currently rules most of the old Jingnan Town (including Kuixia and Jingnan Towns) in the former Tang Dynasty. From time to time, he fights with Ma Yin in the south for competition.
Langzhou and other places under its control.
Shao Shude felt that Zhao Kuangning was not yet ready to refuse the imperial order, and this time might be used as a test.
As for why he wanted to beat Wang Jianzhao, he really couldn't figure it out.
Shao Shude ordered Chengdu to send troops to Annan through central Guizhou and Lingnan West Road. After the five-hundred-mile expedited dispatch, Shao Chengjie did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent an envoy to travel day and night to Qianzhou to convey the order - in theory, all accepted
The canonized Southern Jiedu envoys were all ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty. They used the Jianji reign title. Scholars went to Luoyang to study. Judicial decisions such as exile and beheading required review by the Ministry of Punishment. Household registration and military registration files also required a copy.
To the capital.
Wang Jianzhao relied on the remnants of the Qin Zongquan in his hands to fight and massacre all directions in central Guizhou, showing his dominance. Later, he recruited local troops and expanded them to more than 10,000 people, making him arrogant.
This time when I heard the news that Master Wang wanted to borrow the passage, he actually refused.
Shao Shude could guess Wang Jianzhao's inner thoughts and was afraid that the false Taoist attack on Guo would happen again, but he still could not tolerate the disobedience in central Guizhou.
Ye Guanglue on the Lingnan West Road was attacked by Liu Yin. Even though he was defeated, he was willing to use the road. Wang Jianzhao, what are you thinking?
After issuing this decree, Shao Shude actually vaguely felt the pleasure of the saints of the former Tang Dynasty using vassal towns to control vassal towns.
"Your Majesty, even if Wang Jianzhao is defeated, it will still be difficult to borrow the road." Chen Cheng said: "In the southern part of the Central Guizhou Road, most of them are barbarians who are afraid of power but not moral. In the heyday of the former Tang Dynasty, they bowed their heads and surrendered. After the difficulties, they became traitorous.
It is obvious that Wang Jianzhao actually has no control over those places. When taking advantage of the road, if the barbarians are afraid or attack in groups, the war will continue and it will be very troublesome."
"What should we do?" Shao Shude asked, "Can Liu Yin borrow a way?"
"I'm afraid not." Chen Cheng shook his head.
Before the former Tang Dynasty lost control of the southern vassal towns, borrowing roads was not a problem. At that time, Shao Shude borrowed the court's skin and reaped bad benefits for himself. Ningyuan Army and Annan installed their own people.
But now that the Tang Dynasty has fallen, and the southern vassal towns have begun to implement actual separatism, they may not necessarily be able to give you a way.
"Your Majesty, you may have to think of a solution from the sea." Chen Cheng suggested.
"It's too dangerous..." Shao Shude hesitated.
"Forget it, let's hold a Yanying inquiry tomorrow and discuss it together." Shao Shude waved his hand, and then said to Pugu Cheng'en: "Let Brother Hua go back, just do your best. I'll watch.
where are they."
"My slave obeys the order." Pugu Chengen left slowly.
