Chapter 53: Journey West to Welcome the Saint

 Dou Jincheng came to Liangyi Hall in fear.

Recently there was news that his position as Long Yuan Yin would not be saved. He was so anxious that he almost died overnight. He surrendered at the gate of the city. It was understandable that Long Yuan Yin could not save his life. He had been mentally prepared for this for a long time. But he had to be given someone else.

What kind of official job is this?

When he was feeling sad, he walked to the side hall and heard a familiar voice. He couldn't help but turn his head and looked around. He saw two small yellow doors at the entrance of the side hall, holding wooden pavilions and staring at them eagerly. And His Majesty - No, Bohai

The king of the country, Dazhen Zhanzheng, was talking to Queen Gao.

"It's hard work for Rou Niang to do rough work all day long." Dashi grabbed Gao's hand with a sad look on her face.

Gao's eyes were also a little red, and he said: "I am just a prisoner. Your Majesty, never give up. No matter how difficult it is, you can always get over it."

Dazhuan nodded and said: "I heard that Lord Shao Xia will leave the Bohai Sea. I am afraid that we will have to leave our country and live in the Central Plains. This... ugh!"

"Your Majesty." Mrs. Gao firmly held Dazhen's hand and encouraged: "The emperor is merciful. The former Tang Dynasty monarch was granted the title of Le'an County Prince. Your Majesty is also the head of a country after all. He will not be imprisoned for the rest of his life. We, husband and wife, will be imprisoned for the rest of our lives.

Sooner or later we will be reunited."

Yes, they can't reunite yet.

Dazhen was under house arrest in this palace and had nothing but three meals a day. Gao worked in the Yeting Bureau, ate and lived with the palace people, and could not go anywhere.

Perhaps, only after going to Luoyang can we gain true freedom and be reunited as husband and wife.

"Why is it endless?" Xiao Huangmen shook the wooden raft in his hand and sneered: "The king of the subjugated country is lucky to not die. Don't be dissatisfied. Go back quickly."

"Mr. Gao, there is still work waiting for you in Ye Ting. Don't wait any longer. Let's go." Another person also said. Dazhen was a little scared, but he still leaned into Gao's ear and asked in a low voice: "

No one has been coveting you recently..." Gao's heart started pounding, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"

Dazhen felt relieved and said: "That's good, that's good. Lord Xia has passed by... so I am worried."

Gao's mind had completely calmed down. He just heard him say: "The saint is generous and benevolent, how could he..." Seeing that they were still lingering, Xiao Huangmen became impatient and walked over from a few steps away and grabbed the big cat.

I pulled my robe inside.

Gao sighed softly.

She lied to His Majesty. Growing up, she had lied only a handful of times, because it was a shameful thing. But, she really had no choice.

Fortunately, the saint kept his word. Since that time, he has never forced her to do anything, and even had people lighten her workload to make it easier for her.

When she was free, Mrs. Gao would even think wildly, was what the sage said true? Was she really unable to control her feelings that time, and was love destroying her body?

"Guan Dou!" The leading official stopped and urged, "The saint is busy with everything, so hurry up and get on your way."

"Oh, okay!" Dou Jin came to his senses and confessed again and again.

The two of them walked in tandem and soon arrived in front of Liangyi Hall, waiting quietly for the summons.

Fortunately, Zhao Guangfeng, the minister, Li Tangbin, the privy councilor, and others left the palace before long. After a short while, Pugu Chengen came out and Xuandou entered the throne room.

"How is Dou Qing?" Shao Shude was not wearing a dragon robe, but was wearing casual clothes. He looked like he was getting ready to go out. He didn't know what he wanted to do.

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor, I will be at Longyuan Mansion day and night..."

"Okay! Okay!" Shao Shude waved his hand, looked at him with a funny face, and said, "You haven't slept recently, okay?"

Dou Jin was ashamed and didn't know how to answer.

"There is no need to be embarrassed." Shao Shude said: "You have made great achievements, how can I treat you harshly? I am not so crazy that I ask all the generals in the world to work for me without having enough food or clothing. Be loyal to me.

Everyone is rich and noble. Long Yuan Yin, please resign.

Dou Jin felt relieved. After the saint said the previous words, he knew that he had not forgotten him. As for where to be an official, it was no longer important. What was important was that there was an official position and the family could continue.

Stay rich and prosperous.

Well, I guess he will be sent to the Central Plains. That's good. He has spent enough time in the bitter cold land of Bohai, and it's time to go to the Central Plains to see more. Hmm, what kind of gifts should I bring? For official business, I still need some souvenirs to close the relationship.

of.

However, there are advantages to staying in Bohai. After all, it is a place that has been in business for more than a hundred years. Alas, it is so difficult. Dou Jin is worried about gains and losses, and his mentality of being an official is clearly revealed.

Yue Liduo looked at this person amusedly.

It turns out that what Abaoji wanted to attack and destroy was actually such a corrupt country.

But it seems that Dou Jin should work harder than when he was an official in Bohai. The old officials appointed by the new dynasty are generally more hardworking and even more capable than they were in the old dynasty. It is really hard to say why. It should probably be

Let’s focus on the word “customs”.

"I want to abolish Huaiyuan, install the second prefecture of Anbian, and establish Jizhou. Dou Qing will serve as the governor of Jizhou." Shao Shude said. Huaiyuan Prefecture covers nine prefectures, including Yue, Huai, and Ji, and Anbian Prefecture governs the two prefectures of An and Qiong.

.

These two prefectures are the two first-level administrative units in the northeastern part of the Bohai State. They are generally east of the Ussuri River and west of the Sea of ​​Japan, which is the northern part of the Primorsky Krai and the southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai in later Russia.

Regardless of the fact that there are eleven states, the rule is actually quite unstable. To put it bluntly, if the orders of the Bohai government are twenty miles away from the county seat, no one will necessarily listen. And the distance between counties is also

They are quite far away, some are even hundreds of miles apart. The cities are also very small, no different from military towns, and there are not many people in the city.

If you look closely, it looks a bit like a colonial stronghold.

If you become an official in this place, your life will be lost if you are not careful. If the Mohe people cause chaos, is the government really capable of handling it?

However, Dou Jin still cherished his hard-won official position, and immediately responded: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness." "Don't be in a hurry to thank me for your kindness." Shao Shude said: "Next year, I will send the imperial army to Huaiyuan Prefecture to conquer the enemy.

To bring the people together, you must coordinate the march without making any mistakes.

"I obey the order." Dou Jin replied. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but admonished: "Your Majesty, the two prefectures of Huaiyuan and Anbian have continuous mountains and complex terrain. The people are actually not very many, and they are fierce and difficult to control.

They are poor and poor. Organizing their households is a bit..."

"It's a bit thankless, isn't it?" Shao Shude smiled and said, "I'm very happy that you can put forward your opinions and don't just succumb. However, the authority of the new dynasty still needs to be declared, and a few tribes who are not short-sighted should be chosen.

Establish authority, collect some tributes, strengthen young men, and compile some household registrations to enrich Xiazhou County. In addition, I can promise some clan leaders to be hereditary local officials, as long as they are willing to surrender.

"Your Majesty is wise, but I worry too much." Dou Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time sighed, the saint really has a bright eye and is very sensible. Under his rule, there will be no chaos in Liaodong in a short time.

After talking about things about Longyuan Mansion for a while, Dou Jin followed the order and left.

But he couldn't leave the palace yet. He had to go to Zhongshu to meet the prime minister, and then he returned to Longyuan Mansion with the Zhongshu envoy to read out the imperial edict and hand over the treasury.

Another lieutenant led the way, and they arrived near a side hall. Dou Jin subconsciously turned his head and looked around, and he discovered something extraordinary.

"Aren't those brothers Gao Chonggui and Gao Chongnian? How did they become palace guards?" Dou Jin was surprised and thought to himself.

Palace guards are a good job! Dou Jin knew that many officials at all levels in Longyuan Mansion had been replaced by palace guards who accompanied them on expeditions.

These people were both civil and military, very loyal to the saints, and some even came from a good family background. I heard that after spending several years in the palace, they also received a lot of teachings from the saints. Now they have made it through, and are now serving as small officials and generals in local places.

This is actually a very good career path! Gao Shanben is smart enough. If he had known better, he would have sent his son Dou Mei over as a bodyguard.

Dou Jin walked forward for a while, turned halfway through the corridor, and suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Your Majesty, please let me go. I am a married woman." Sobs sounded, as if it was from Gao! "Just once, no one will know." The saint's voice sounded.

Dou Jin: "..."

Subconsciously speed up the pace.

"I just saw your two brothers.

Right? I think they are potential talents, and I am planning to train them well." "Anyway, it has happened once... Okay, this time is really the last time, I promise."

The crying stopped for a moment.

Dou Jin was sweating profusely and wished he didn't have two more legs.

After turning around the corridor, I let out a long sigh of relief. When I looked at the Zhongguan who was leading the way, his face was pale and his body seemed to be shaking a little.

Dou Jin thought for a moment and understood. This guy led the way, but he broke into the saint's secret. If he was found out, the end would probably not be good.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward quickly and said: "Don't worry, palace supervisor, I am not a talkative person. Some things will stay in my stomach for a lifetime.

The lieutenant general smiled gratefully and whispered, "Thank you very much. My name is Zhang Juhan and I owe you a favor."

Dou Jin smiled. The two of them arrived at the Wude Hall Zhongshu Province very quickly.

On the first day of May, spring comes and flowers bloom.

As thousands of vanguards of the rebel army arrived at Longquan Mansion, the holy drive finally set off.

They went south along the Huhan River, first arriving at Lingfeng County in the northwest of Xianzhou, then heading west across the northern border of Xiazhou and arriving at Xianzhou Lisuo Xianyi County. It was already May 20th—— Traveling more than forty miles a day, it's actually not too slow.

Once here, you can go south to Shenzhou, then west through Yingzhou to reach Linyu Pass.

Of course Shao Shude would not leave like this.

On the 23rd, after resting for two days, the Holy Spirit drove directly west to Yingsheng Prefecture, which was more than 300 miles away.

Yingshengzhou is the original Khitan holy land Muye Mountain, and Nanlou is nearby. It now leads a county, namely Shuangliao County.

There are nearly 50,000 people in the whole state, half of which are Khitans, and the rest are mostly Xi people, Bohai people, Han people, and Tatars.

On the last day of May, Shengjia arrived in Shuangliao County and camped outside the city.

Strangely enough, there was a faint blowing of sand the day before, but on the day Shao Shude arrived, it started to rain lightly.

Yingshengzhou, Shuangliao County officials, big and small, and hundreds of Tibetan Xihao people braved the wind and rain to greet them.

After the drums and drums started playing in unison, they all fell to the ground regardless of the mud on the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

Shao Shude looked at the jade-belt-like river, the lush green grass and the bright flowers, and his heart widened. He laughed and said, "Bring me a pen and paper, I'm going to make a poem."

Chen Cheng, whose back was sore from the rush, glanced at the saint in surprise.

Zhao Guangfeng, who was drinking water, almost choked.

Xiao Qu, who was also admiring the beautiful scenery, accidentally broke a beard.

Secretary Lang Cuicheng was silent for a long time.

It was Shang Gongjie who reacted quickly and asked someone to bring him pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the spot.

Yue Liduo quietly rubbed her ink, and Xie Shi glanced at her.

Shao Shude picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and after pondering for a long time, he began to write: "The Khitans live in the clouds and sand, and the senior chariots are like water and horses are like dragons. When spring comes, the grass is ten thousand miles old, with peonies and peonies alternately red. The big beard leads the chariot and the little beard dances, playing the beard The pipa tunes the Hu girl."

After writing this, I took a short break, looked at everyone, and wrote the final finishing touch: "After a spring of wandering and not returning home, there will be a roof to block the wind and rain."
