After the saint returned to Beijing, he did not leave the capital for two months in a row. He seemed to be recuperating in the capital.
The only news that came out was that the saint had an extra son and held a full-moon ceremony, but no one knew which concubine gave birth to him. They only knew that he was given to the queen to raise.
But this is not a big deal. Everyone in Luoyang knows that the saint likes to play with wild women. Maybe he played with some civilian woman outside, and his belly got bigger. He couldn't hide it, so he had to take her back to the palace to raise her.
At the end of August, Qi Xinzhang, the chief of the Qibi tribe in Rouzhou, died of illness, and Zhang Ziyi succeeded him.
On the fifth day of September, Wei Zhaodu, the governor of Longyou Road, died of illness. He was replaced by Zhang Xuanyan, the minister of household affairs, and Zheng Jue, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, was appointed as the minister of household affairs.
In the same month, Zhang Wenwei, an academic and political scholar of Huaihai Taoism, died violently. The saint awarded his younger brothers Yi Xian, Jimei, and Rengui the titles of Dengfeng County Prime Minister, Linli County Prime Minister, and Shouguang County Administrator for their meritorious service in promoting advancement. His son Zhang Zhu was admitted to Tokyo.
Imperial College.
Zhao Guangyin was also appointed as the scholar and administrator of Huaihai Dao.
On the Double Ninth Festival, Shao Shude was recuperating in Shendu Garden and met with a group of officials.
Han Quanhui, the palace supervisor of the Daming Palace, Liu Jishu, the palace supervisor of the Taiji Palace, and Zhang Yanhong, the palace supervisor of the Xingqing Palace, stood there with respectful expressions on their faces, not daring to go out of their way in the slightest.
Wang Chan, the chamberlain, poured wine for the saint and glanced at them secretly, feeling secretly happy.
In the three capitals of the Great Xia Dynasty, the palace supervisor of Linshuo Palace in Beijing gave Pugu Chengen. When the saint was in the northern capital, Pugu Chengen served him respectfully, which made the saint very satisfied. Qiu Silian, the palace supervisor of Ziwei Palace in Tokyo, and Wang Yanfan, the palace supervisor of Shangyang Palace, these days
I haven't seen the saint in years, and I have lost some of the saint's favor. However, after the saint returned to the palace, he served him every day, and his favorability gradually returned.
The most unlucky ones were Han, Liu, and Zhang from the Three Great Halls of Xijing. Although they had decisively moved over since the end of the Tang Dynasty and tried their best, they were far away in Xijing after all, and gradually no one cared about them. They must have been very depressed.
But don't let your guard down! Wang Zha put the wine bottle aside and stepped back cautiously.
The saint wanted to know the situation in the three major universities in Xijing, so he called the three of them over. Wouldn't this be a chance to show off? "How is the palace in Xijing?" Shao Shude asked, lying comfortably on the recliner.
In Shendu Garden, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the cool breeze is blowing.
The twin Absi held a fan behind him, his eyes always fixed on him. Two Jurchen girls aged thirteen or fourteen gently beat their legs.
Queen Shuxian He picked up a peeled grape and stuffed it into Shao Shude's mouth. She looked into his eyes from time to time and showed a charming smile.
Shao Shude's response was scant.
There are many women, but not all of them have feelings, most of them are just tools. Just like a scabbard is used to hold a sword, and a quiver is used to hold arrows, these women are also containers for him to hold certain things, nothing more.
"Your Majesty, the Daming Palace was fully renovated four years ago. As soon as it is used, the palace staff are ready and waiting for the Holy Emperor at any time." After hearing the saint's question, Han Quanjie suppressed his excitement and replied.
"Your Majesty, the Tai Chi Palace was renovated two years ago. Even the pool was cleaned and lotus flowers were planted again." Liu Jishu replied.
"Your Majesty, Xingqing Palace was not much damaged. It started recruiting conscripts to renovate it the year before last, and it was completed last year. If your Majesty has time, you can stay at Xingqing Palace." Zhang Yanhong replied.
Shao Shude nodded and asked Han Quanhui: "How is the surplus treasury in the Daming Palace?"
"Your Majesty, it has been completed. Currently, there are 260,000 pieces of silk, 310,000 pieces of cloth of various colors, and 370,000 pieces of money." Han Quanjie replied, "I will count them once a month to ensure that they are correct.
"
"Although it is in the surplus treasury, this is a military reward stored by the Ministry of Revenue and cannot be used at will." Shao Shude ate a grape and said. "I will keep this in mind." Han Quan said with a flattering smile.
Shao Shude raised his eyes and looked at the three people again.
They are already very old. According to history, they were all killed by Li Maozhen seven years ago. It is fate that they are still alive because of themselves. Considering that they are usually respectful and capable, now they are still alive.
Since they didn't have the chance to exert their power, they felt weak and said, "Liu Xidu has been appointed as the palace supervisor of Xiuling Palace. If you two have suitable nephews and nephews, please report them and I will hire them at my discretion."
Liu Xidu is Liu Jishu
The fake son is also a Zhongguan. He currently serves as the palace supervisor of Xiuling Palace in Shaanzhou and oversees more than ten people. He does not have much power, but it is also an official career. In the future, he may be able to climb up the Zhongguan system step by step.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Upon hearing this, Han Quanhui and Zhang Yanhong immediately knelt down, choking with sobs. Liu Jishu also knelt down.
"Okay, don't you think I don't know how domineering you are in front of the palace people?" Shao Shude laughed and scolded: "Go back and work hard." The three of them saluted again, bowed and retreated.
Shao Shude continued to lie paralyzed on the recliner.
Since returning to Luoyang, there has been a sense of laziness in the bones of his body. He doesn't want to go anywhere, he just wants to lie down. He once thought that he had no desires and desires, but he still had the urge when he saw the beauty.
He knew he wasn't there yet, but sometimes he was just too lazy to move and didn't know what to do.
After the three lieutenants left, Wang Chan reminded: "Your Majesty, Li Liushou has been waiting for a long time."
"Let him come in." Shao Shude waved his hand, then stood up and sat on the dragon chair nearby. He wiped his hands and straightened the dragon robe for him.
Being left behind in Xijing is not a domestic servant like Han Quanhui, so he must be respected. After a while, Li Yangu came in, bowed and said, "I see your Majesty." "Sit down," Shao Shude ordered.
The palace attendants immediately brought tea and snacks.
Li Yangu's background is quite good. The grandson of Li Deyu, the former prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he later joined Yin'an and served as a minor official. In the fifth year of Qianning (898), he served as the capital's water supervisor to assist Zhao Keyu in building the Pichi around Luoyang. After the completion
, returned to Yin'an and served as military judge.
In the past few years, Zhao Keyu was responsible for the construction of the Luhunshan Mausoleum, and Li Yangu came to assist.
After the death of Zhao Keyu, Li Yangu was appointed as the general's chief supervisor and was fully responsible for the construction of the mausoleum until he took up the post of Jing Zhaoyin at the beginning of this year and stayed in Xijing.
Judging from his resume, Li Yangu has been on the Rockets twice and was promoted several levels each time. It can be seen that he has a bright future with the Holy Family.
"Chang'an is the transshipment hub of Guanxi." Shao Shude said: "Cangcheng should be inspected carefully. If the military camp is dilapidated, repair it as soon as possible. I will patrol the west. By then, more than 100,000 troops will be stationed. If even the place where they live is
No, how can it be appropriate?"
"I obey the decree." Li Yangu responded immediately.
In fact, he has only been in charge of Xijing for a few months. Previously, this position was concurrently held by the King of Qin, Shao Chengjie, and even now, the governor of Guannei Road is still concurrently held by the King of Qin.
The scope of authority and responsibility of Xijing’s left behind is the more than ten counties in Jingzhao Prefecture. Although the area is not big, they are all Ji and Fu counties. When the Holy Emperor makes his western tour, he will definitely stay in Chang’an, and he may even stay there for a long time.
time, you must prepare in advance: military camp accommodation, food and grass supplies, training venues, etc., a lot of things.
Considering that there has been no war in Guanzhong for many years, some problems will inevitably arise. Has the vacant military camp not been repaired for many years and is no longer suitable for occupancy?
Are the equipment in the arsenal still usable? Army training requires equipment. The weapons you are handed out are all rotten weapons. See if they will cut off your head. This matter needs to be checked with the people in the Privy Council to check. It is not allowed.
careless.
In addition, everyone who is well-informed knows that the Saint is likely to use troops against the Western Regions, so the Four Paths of Kansai will definitely undergo military mobilization, and Jingzhao Mansion will bear the brunt.
It is terrible to go without fighting for a long time.
Li Yangu knew that when the saints attacked Hebei, they mobilized the Daozhou army in the pass. The performance at the beginning was actually not good, and they were killed by the Chengde soldiers and were unable to stand. It was not until more than a year later that they slowly adjusted
He came over and became more combative.
This is just a microcosm.
War not only trains combat effectiveness, but also the logistics production system, transportation distribution system, soldier recruitment mechanism and other aspects. These have not been tested for many years.
After all, the saints protected Kansai too well. Except for occasionally sending troops to Helong to suppress the rebellion of the Tibetan people, the entire system has not withstood the test of full-scale mobilization, and there must be many problems.
"When I attack Hebei, I mainly rely on the Zhili, Henan, and Huaihai Roads. When I attack Khitan and Bohai, I mainly rely on the Hebei, Huaihai Roads, and the grassland and Tibetan tribes. If I attack Anxi, the Guannai Road needs to provide supplies, Master." Shao Shude said.
He said: "Not to mention anything else in Jingzhao Mansion, all those idle city residents in Chang'an have been recruited to transport grain and grass. The harvest has been completed this autumn and it is time to move. We will send them to Huiningguan Dacang in advance."
"I obey the decree." Li Yangu responded.
War is like this, transportation cost is the key. Even if you cover half of the world, it is impossible to mobilize half of the world's resources to attack one place.
Shao Shude has been fighting in Hebei and Liaodong for many years. It is difficult to mobilize resources in Guanxi, except for people.
Now that we want to use troops in the northwest, Hebei's resources cannot be used in that direction, and they can only be recruited in Kansai.
As the richest and most populous of the four Kansai roads, the Kanai Road must raise a large amount of grain, supplies, draft animals, and masters. After meeting with Li Yangu today, he will meet with everyone from the Kanai Road and the North Kansai Road one by one in the next few days.
officials.
There will also be imperial envoys going to Hexi and Longyou Road.
As soon as these actions came out, basically everyone knew that the saint was going to attack the Western Region. The people would definitely not be happy to see this kind of thing.
But I can honestly say that the people of Guandong have suffered a lot in recent years, but the people of Kansai have really not suffered much.
The external situation is stable, the internal life is stable, and the officials are working harder than before. It seems that everything suddenly becomes clear, and it turns out they are all the same person.
On days like this, if others don't tell where the war is going on, many people in Kansai would think they are living in peace and prosperity.
The wars of the past have become legends after the older generation gradually passed away. The new generation that has grown up in the past twenty years has been living in peace from the moment they were born. You tell this story
If you tell people in Hebei, they will give you a big slap in the face: Are you still dreaming? Shao Shude loves the people of Guanxi. He feels that tightening up in advance and slowly entering a state of mobilization will make it easier for people to accept it.
No matter what, this battle must be fought. He is very persistent in the matter of Jin Ou being intact.
