Shao Shude's route to Hedong generally passed through Yizhou and Dingzhou, then passed Feihuxing and entered the boundary of Hedong.
On May 27th, the Holy Emperor arrived in Daizhou and took the opportunity to pay homage to his sworn brother Li Keyong and gain the hearts of the Hedong army.
In addition to the normal sacrifices, several of Liu Rengong's sons were also captured.
Rengong was once the envoy of Yingping appointed by Li Keyong and was very trusted, but he betrayed Li Keyong, which made him resentful. In fact, it was really not a big deal, but who made Liu Rengong unlucky?
The Gao brothers also betrayed, would Shao Shude use him to commemorate Li Keyong? Obviously impossible.
But Liu Rengong still bargained before the Khitan's defeat. He had his own way of killing himself, so he couldn't blame others. On that day, more than ten men from Liu Rengong's family were beheaded in front of Li Keyong's tomb and their heads were offered as a complaint.
The scholars and people of Daizhou who watched the ceremony all exclaimed that the relationship between the emperor and the late Jin Dynasty was unparalleled. Moreover, the sentimental literati had already conceived a script about falling in love and killing each other, and planned to spread it widely in restaurants and teahouses.
As for the trivial matter of who killed the most warriors from Hedong, no one has delved into it.
After leaving Daizhou, it took ten days to arrive in Jinyang.
The Jin Palace has been taken back by the imperial court and converted into a large post station for the use of messengers and generals traveling on official business.
Some of Li Keyong's family lived in the newly given mansion in Luoyang, and some of them lived in the countryside of Daizhou. In fact, it was Li Luoluo's family.
Shao Shude moved into He Gongya's mansion.
This house is not owned by the imperial court, but is privately owned by him, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs pays for its maintenance.
In the former study room, Shao Shude and Zhao Yu looked at each other and smiled.
"Thirty years have passed in a flash." Shao Shude sat behind the desk and held Zhao Yu in his arms, his expression full of nostalgia.
Seeing such a beautiful woman for the first time, his reason told him that he could enjoy it as much as he wanted, as everyone did, but the remaining consciousness of modern people made him a little uncomfortable.
What happened next is something he still thinks about, and may be worth recalling until the day he dies.
He held Zhao Yu's hand tightly.
In fact, it should have been a sexual intercourse. One life, two times familiarity, and then there was no turning back on this road. "Does He Gongya still have any clan members?" Shao Shude asked. "Yes." Zhao Yu
Leaning gently in his arms, he said: "Although the He family is not a rich family, they have been born in dental schools for generations. There are people not only in Taiyuan Prefecture, but also in Liaozhou, Qinzhou and other places. "Since it is so prosperous, forget it." Shao Shude
Said. If the He family falls and lives a hard life, Shao Shude plans to reward them with some property, although all of He Gongya's immediate family members died thirty years ago, leaving only his daughter Shao Guo'er.
Zhao Yu did not speak. She held her hands tightly around Shao Shude's waist and closed her eyes slightly.
Shao Shude gently stroked her head.
Once upon a time, my head was full of black hair, and my hair suddenly grew white.
Many years ago, Shao Shude once asked Zhao Yu if he hated him, but he would not be so stupid now.
How can a woman who is over forty years old and still willing to give birth to your offspring really hate you?
The two sons and one daughter raised together will continue their bloodline.
Zhao Yu suddenly sighed.
Shao Shude seemed to understand her thoughts and sighed. The sky was getting dark, and there was no lamp in the huge study. The two of them sat there quietly, gradually being swallowed up by the darkness. There was no need to say anything, sometimes silence is better than sound. Even though there are many things in life,
It's a pity, but Shao Shude was lucky. He rose up from among millions of warriors and ruled the world. Zhao Yu was also lucky. She was favored by the emperor and became an important piece of the puzzle in his life.
At this point in life, there is no need to sigh. Finish it quietly and welcome your final destination, no matter how reluctant you are to leave.

The Jinyang Du Yu Housi was changed into the Du Commander's Office. Shao Shude and Chen Cheng strolled in.
"In the past, when I brought Li Kan from Xizhou, what was Chen Qing doing?" Shao Shude asked.
"What else can I do? I'm being called for debt every day, hiding here and there." Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Not only are debtors looking for me, Zhao
Yiwufu also threatened me with a knife and almost fled back to his hometown.
Chen Cheng could already speak out in a joking tone about the torment and hardships he endured back then.
After all, he is already the minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with all the power in the world, and has been in the holy family for thirty years.
The emperor is a kind man, and if he suddenly gets a beautiful concubine or wealth, he will distribute it to his ministers. The frequency of such rewards is far more than that of the saints of the previous Tang Dynasty, which is embarrassing.
He also valued feelings and treated his veterans well. Meeting such an emperor was like smoke rising from the ancestral graves for meritorious veterans.
After counting, Liu Bang was the only one who was so kind during the Han Dynasty. "Dou Han, Cao Xiang, Cui Jikang, three generals in succession, either died or left, and they were in chaos." Shao Shude looked at Du Yuhousi, who had changed beyond recognition.
, left disappointed.
There is nothing he is familiar with here. The former Jiedushi Yamen, but the current Zhou Yamen still retains its original layout.
Shao Shude and Chen Cheng came here again.
"When Li Guochang and his son were still in Xinzhou, Consort Dou was so frightened that he dug trenches, which made the soldiers from Hedong despise him. Later, he was so frightened that he ran away." Shao Shude said: "Soldiers from Zhaoyi, Zhongwu, and Heyang towns gathered in Jinyang.
Marshal Cao was majestic, but it was a pity that he could not control so many warriors. Later, he was ambushed by Li Keyong and died in the middle of nowhere. Cui Jikang, a scholar, died in the military rebellion." Shao Shude recalled the old events of the year one by one. "It was in this yamen.
In the hall, Li Kan ordered me to kill the Hedong yamen generals who disobeyed discipline." Shao Shude laughed and said: "Actually, I didn't dare at the time. I only had such a small amount of capital on hand. If the 50,000 sergeants in Hedong started to cause chaos, they would become enemies. Fortunately, there are still some in the north.
A powerful enemy, Jinyang changed three generals in another year. The imperial court still had some power, and the warriors were worried about being liquidated. In the end, He Gongya was killed inexplicably, which shocked the warriors of Hedong. Now thinking about it, Li Kan may be right
Yes, I was immature back then and was too selfish. Chen Cheng was filled with sadness after hearing this.
Thirty years is like a lifetime ago. If Hedong Yamen generals such as Zhang Kai, Guo Biao, Kang Chuangui, Zhu Mei, Yin Zhao, Zhang Yanqiu and others had not been severely reprimanded by the court for their previous rebellions, and instead were afraid and instigated their subordinates to rebel,
What would Li Kan do if he asked the saint to be killed to quell the military grudges? There is a high probability that the saint would be thrown out as a scapegoat.
Saints will certainly make noise and cause chaos. What will be the end result?
No one can guarantee it.
Maybe the saint would directly retaliate and defect to Li Keyong.
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but laugh. In that case, in today's world, there may still be disputes between Liang and Jin. It would be good if the saint could get the position of governor, but there is a high probability that he won't get it, because he is not a direct descendant of Li Keyong.
"The long river of history has many forks." Shao Shude said with emotion: "Some forks are inevitable, and the water is bound to flow there. Sometimes it is accidental, and several forks are possible, but they just flow in.
That way, you can’t chase the past, you’d better take the path of the present.”
Chen Cheng looked at Shao Shude's leaving figure and sighed softly.
The road ahead is long, but how long can I stay with His Majesty? In the past ten years, he has been observing several talented people, and before leaving, he may be able to recommend one or two.
The King of Qin has martial arts, which is a necessary condition for the second generation of kings to succeed to the throne. It is a hard requirement, but it is actually very appropriate. If there are wise and sensible ministers to help govern the world, it will be enough. No need for more, twenty or thirty years is enough.
With this transition, the third generation may still need martial arts, but they no longer need to be as brave as King Qin.
Starting from the fourth generation, even an elegant king can sit firmly in the Dragon Court.
If God has a spirit, he will temporarily lend me a few years of his life, encourage the underachievers, and promote talented people. If this is accomplished, I will die without regrets.

"Yazi, do you want to fight?" Outside Jin Temple, Shao Shude held the horse and asked with a smile.
"I think." Li Cunxu replied without hesitation. However, he was also a little worried.
A great general like Li Tangbin doesn't have a chance. Does a person of his status have a chance to lead an army?
He glanced at the Gingan Zhi team who was following his father-in-law from a distance. Probably only Kansai people with such good roots and young talents would have a chance.
"How do you feel after being exposed to you for several years?" Shao Shude asked again.
Li Cunxu was in great embarrassment. Lao Yue
My father's question was so direct that it was difficult to answer.
"It's so boring." Li Cunxu choked out a sentence after mumbling for a long time.
Shao Shude laughed and didn't take it seriously. Zhe Congyuan also laughed too.
Li Cunxu glared at him, "Why are you laughing?"
Zhe Congyuan continued to laugh, and I laughed. What? Li Cunxu looked away. People in Guanxi are all mentally ill, and they are all like aggressive roosters.
"No one will come to Jinci to fish for immortal apples this year." Shao Shude pointed to the Fen River near Jinci and said, "Yazi, do you think there will be rebellion in Hedong now?"
"No." Li Cunxu replied.
"I killed 300 peasant students and more than 200,000 cattle and sheep in the east of Hedong. I distributed the land belonging to the rebellious generals and soldiers to the poor, and taught them how to both herd and farm. It would be outrageous if this was the opposite." Shao Shude
He said: "I call it buying the people." "A wise king must be good at buying the people. If he can have enough food and clothing, he has already begun to buy it."
"Immortal Apple can't win over the people. This is where my sworn brother actually failed.
Li Cunxu was silent. His words were unpleasant, but what he said was true. Anyone who is a son knows very well who his father is. He is really not good at buying people off. Even buying warriors, he achieves his goal by allowing them to plunder. But Hedong
With such a big plate, people are getting poorer and poorer. In the end, there is nothing left to grab, and the warrior can hardly buy it off.
"It seems you understand a little bit." Shao Shude looked back at his son-in-law and said, "Actually, you don't know much about how to bribe people, you don't even know how to bribe warriors. What do you know?" Li Cunxu's face turned red.
Zhe Congyuan stopped laughing at him and sighed softly. "Are you convinced?" Shao Shude looked into his eyes and asked forcefully.
Li Cunxu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "I'm convinced." Shao Shude came over, put his arm around his shoulders, and said: "Yazi, you are actually good at fighting. You also have a spirit of bravery and determination in your chest. This is more than anything you can do."
A lot of people.
"If you didn't have this ability, I wouldn't be saying these words to you today.
"You are still young, and I am getting old."
"I have many dreams, but I don't have time to realize them all. I will have to rely on you in the future.
"We need you to step up to conquer the Western Regions." Shao Shude said: "We old guys have worked hard all our lives and are gradually withering away. If you can't step up, there will be no hope for this world. Even if we can maintain it, it will be mediocre and ugly.
.”
"Uncle..." Li Cunxu was a little moved.
"I have children, and they are still crying." Shao Shude said with a smile: "After a few years of peace, the lives of the people in Hedong have gradually improved. Looking at the whole world, the same is true. This is my life's hard work, and this world cannot be chaotic. Just for
The people of Hedong will no longer fish for the endless apples, so that when they mention Prince Li Jin and his son in the future, they will all praise him as "good men," so you must work hard too.
"Okay!" Li Cunxu responded softly, but it seemed as if he was weighing more than a thousand dollars. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Could you please use your little hand to exit the reading mode. Thank you
