His mother passed away, and Shao Duanfeng could not leave for a while.
After the seven-day funeral ceremony, on September 20th, he returned to Chang'an with the Holy Emperor.
I was confused along the way, sometimes feeling so uncomfortable that I wanted to cry, and sometimes wanting to see my eldest brother, but he was still on the way to lead the troops on the expedition, so I was afraid it would be difficult to see him.
He felt like a falling leaf with no support.
He's just a bastard from a distant border area!
As for whether my mother was posthumously crowned queen and whether I was the legitimate son, I was simply overthinking it.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Concubine Wu Hui was posthumously named Empress Zhenshun. Did Prince Shou become his legitimate son? No. Even his wife...
The Xia Dynasty inherited the Tang system, and it is clearly written in the etiquette: "For posthumous gifts to the queen, posthumous gifts to the empress dowager, and gifts to the crown prince, separate temples are often built."
If my mother did not become a queen during her lifetime, she would not be able to enter the Ancestral Temple, so it would be useless.
Unless the successor emperor forcefully requests it, it is possible to attach the temple, but how can the second brother agree?
On the last day of September, when we arrived at Longzhou, the Holy Master rested for a day.
The Thirteenth Prince Shao Jizhi came out of the state government office with a sigh. When he saw Shao Duanfeng, he saluted and said, "My Eighth Brother."
"Thirteenth brother." Shao Duan returned the gift and asked, "Why are you so embarrassed?"
"There is trouble in Yunnan." Shao Jizhi said: "The puppet emperor Zheng Renmin was escorted back to Beijing. When he was crossing the Lu River, he cried bitterly and talked nonsense. After the news spread, there was a rebellion in Yaozhou, and the Shengjie army went to quell the rebellion.
Ground chicken feathers.”
"What does this matter have to do with you?" Shao Duanfeng asked: "How many Nanman people died, and what does it have to do with you?"
"This..." Shao Jizhi didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he could only say: "It's not just this. Hearing that he was going to serve as an official in the court, Jianchuan Jiedu envoy Zhao Cuozheng rebelled again. The sixth brother was in charge of Dali, and Li Tangbin led the army to defeat the enemy.
If you rebel, you will probably kill a lot of people."
"I still don't understand, what does it have to do with you?" Shao Duanfeng asked: "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I'm in a bad mood and I'm too lazy to talk to you."
"My Eighth Brother doesn't know something." Shao Jizhi sighed and said, "I want to arrange several fiefdoms in Yunnan..."
Shao Duanfeng understood and asked, "Are you going to Yunnan?"
"Most likely." Shao Jizhi said: "If Li Tangbin kills too much, I'm afraid I won't be safe if I go."
"Li Tangbin did nothing good in Yunnan?" Shao Duanfeng asked.
"I recently found out that he did not do anything good in Dali Prefecture in Yaozhou. He went around burning, killing and looting. In the battle of Yazhou and Dadu River, more than 100,000 people were captured and killed. When he attacked Yangjumei, he killed another 10,000 people and captured two people.
More than 10,000 yuan were all sent to Jiangning." Shao Jizhi said: "I heard that the number of men in Dali Prefecture has dropped sharply and there are a lot of orphans and widows. This guy even threatened in the army that his wife, house, and land are all ready, and he is willing to stay in Dali.
Otherwise, he can report to the emperor and turn them into state soldiers and suppress the troops on the spot."
Shao Duanfeng was a little surprised when he heard this. This guy is really cruel.
He didn't know how many of the 100,000 troops sent by Zheng Renmin were recruited in Dali, but given the wealth and dense population of the two capitals, they should be indispensable. None of these people, dead or alive, could go back!
After conquering the Nanman Xijing and capturing and killing 30,000 people, he suspected that there were still a few men in Dali Mansion.
On the other hand, if Li Tangbin dared to say this, it was probably not a mistake.
The imperial court has long wanted to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers and horses. There is probably not much land in Yunnan, and there is limited room for the placement of government soldiers. These miscellaneous soldiers and generals do not receive as many rewards as the imperial army. Let them serve as state soldiers, and their income will not drop.
How many.
Moreover, in a place like Dali Prefecture, the envoys who came back said that the climate is pleasant, and the land has been developed over the years. There are less floods and droughts, so it should not be difficult for people to adapt.
It should have some appeal to people in the military who have not yet started a family.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. If you keep looking, there will always be someone willing to stay.
"This is actually not a bad thing." Shao Duanfeng looked at his younger brother and said, "At least there will be no chaos in Dali. If there is no chaos in Dali, there won't be much of a problem if there is chaos in the surrounding remote and remote areas. The Shenchuan Governor's Mansion you just mentioned...
"
"Jianchuan Town." Shao Jizhi said.
"It was called Jianchuan during the Tubo period." Shao Duanfeng said, "Is Jianchuan mostly mountainous?"
"This - I don't know." Shao Jizhi said.
"You are about to go to Yunnan to become the vassal king, but you don't know anything." Shao Duanfeng sighed and said, "Don't think about it, I won't show you any good places, either hot and humid jungles or mountains.
The continuity.”
"Bago is really a god." Shao Jizhi marveled.
He remembered his father's words that Jianchuan was not a good place since it had no state.
"Let's go back to what happened before." Shao Duanfeng said: "Jianchuan Town will definitely not be able to gather many people. Zhao Chaozheng rebelled and couldn't make a fuss. Li Tangbin went to suppress it himself, and a lot of killings were inevitable. In this way, Jianchuan Town
It’s no use. In the future, I will go to Yunnan to establish a vassal state. If I can bring a group of Central Plains people to settle down and take root, it may not be a bad thing. You can try to choose this place."
"What else can I choose?" Shao Jizhi smiled bitterly.
"It's better than protecting the Holy State." Shao Duanfeng shook his head and said: "There should still be 20,000 to 30,000 households in Jianchuan Town, maybe more. If you run a good business, it won't be too bad."
Shao Jizhi nodded thoughtfully.
If he had a choice, he would prefer to stay in the Central Plains. Whoever wants to go to Yunnan can go there.

"Greetings to Your Majesty," said Chong Jushuang, the governor of Ruzhou, in the Longzhou Yamen.
"Sit down." Shao Shude said: "Li Tangbin is not doing well in Yunnan. I want you to take care of the head and tail."
"Thunder's power is already there, and now it needs comfort." Shao Shude said: "Yunnan cannot be chaotic. It has already involved a lot of my energy. I don't want to worry about Tiannan anymore."
"I understand." Zhong Jushuang replied.
In fact, he roughly understood the imperial edict from the moment it arrived in Ruzhou.
What is the background of the Zhong family? Hebei was a great Confucian. He always walked around the world with the goal of educating people, and his disciples and disciples were all over Hebei.
Jiazun Zhongjingxian is still strong and strong, and he also serves as the academic administrator of Liaodong Taoism in Longquan Mansion. He has encouraged countless students over the past few years and has gained a certain reputation in the local area.
His own academic performance was not bad either. During his tenure as the governor of Ruzhou, Guangxing Education made the original tribal gangsters in Youzhou become kings, and the results were remarkable.
Now that the sage did not send anyone else to Yunnan, but he sent him, his intention was obvious.
"After you take office, you will first straighten out the Xijing area. Let's leave the distant places aside for the time being. The local situation is often unstable." Shao Shude added: "It is estimated that it will take a few months."
Li Tangbin is currently attacking Jianchuan Town.
After Shao Zhiwei arrived in Yongchang, some barbarians occupied the city and were unwilling to surrender. It was not that they had any nostalgia for the country of Changhe. In fact, they were also the targets of Zheng Renmin's suppression before, but they took advantage of the collapse of the country of Changhe.
"It's a favorable opportunity" and I just want to make some trouble.
Yinsheng Town actually has some signs of this. Just like the Black Tooth Ten tribes in the south, Shao Shude suspected that they had broken away and no longer recognized the rule of Nanzhao and Changhe, and certainly did not recognize Daxia.
Rebellion in a place like this is actually more or less expected.
After all, the death of Dachang Heguo was a bit sudden. Zheng Renmin was chased all the way from Yazhou, Lizhou, Daduhe, Xizhou, Nongdong, Dali, for more than a thousand miles, and was defeated. Until he finally captured the capital, it was quite sudden to be honest.
——It is rare in ancient times for local power leaders to suffer such a humiliating defeat.
Shao Shude privately called the collapse of Da Changhe as a "collapse", which was actually the reason.
If it collapses, fragments may be produced. Now that the large fragments are in your hands, you need to slowly collect the small fragments and hold them one by one. This requires both cultural and martial arts efforts.
"A lot of things have happened recently, and I know that time waits for no one." Shao Shude said again: "I am in a hurry for the Western Expedition, and I don't care much about other things. Over in Yunnan, you, King Yan, and Li Tangbin will work together to check the situation and be steady."
"According to the order." Zhong Jushuang replied.
King Yan also wanted to stay in Yunnan? Zhong Jushuang had an idea.
In the Battle of Changhe, King Yan was the nominal commander. If he had some thoughts, he should have already started working with officials in Yunnan. If he stayed for a few more years, he would have a small foundation.
But that's okay.
The foundation of Yunnan is just Yunnan. Looking at the whole world, this is not called the foundation.
"Recently Zhongshu plans to establish Quzhou, but I haven't made up my mind yet. After you go to Yunnan, do a careful investigation and let me know."
"According to the decree."
"Quzhou is the land of Nanzhong." Shao Shude added.
Some parts of ancient China's administrative divisions are actually very interesting.
For example, Yueyang in Hunan in later generations originally belonged to Eyue, that is, Hubei in the late Tang Dynasty. However, after it was captured by Ma Yin, it returned to Hunan and never changed again.
Later, Zhaotong and Qujing in Yunnan belonged to Rongzhou (their place is now Yibin) during the Tianbao period, and Rongzhou was returned to Jiannan Road. After Nanzhao captured these places, they belonged to Yunnan from then on.
History is sometimes full of chance.
"Your Majesty, are most of Nanzhong areas barbaric tribes?" Zhong Jushuang asked.
"That's right." Shao Shude nodded and said: "Zheng Renmin's northern campaign also resulted in many people from the south and central barbarians, and most of them died in the rivers and ravines. If Quzhou is established, the power of the local barbarian cave masters will be affected.
There will be a limit, or there may be a rebound. At that time, there will inevitably be another killing, and it may also cause the Kunming tribe to die and the foxes will grieve. This is where I hesitate. However, the land near Dianchi Lake is rich in fertile soil and has a pleasant climate. Nanzhao has been developed for more than a hundred years, and all households have been established.
Under the people, the household registration is abundant, which makes it an important place to accompany the capital. If the imperial court wants to make use of this place, it must re-open the Shimen Road of Rongzhou, and the construction of Quzhou is unavoidable."
Shanchan Prefecture was the southern barbarian capital. During the Nanzhao period, the eldest son of the barbarian king was often in charge. Although his household registration and economy were not as good as those of Dali, they were not comparable to other places.
Moreover, Shao Shude is a later generation and knows that Kunming's development potential is much greater than that of Dali, and there are many more plains on the dam alone. If the imperial court wants to contact the Dianchi Lake area, it is inappropriate to always take a detour from Dali. What's more, only
What should I do if a post road is cut off?
"During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Xian Yu Zhongtong sent troops from Chengdu and took the Shimen Road of Rongzhou." Zhong Jushuang said: "At that time, many tribes were still interested in the Central Plains. If they were educated, they should be able to establish states and counties."
"One moment, another moment." Shao Shude couldn't help but remind him: "The tribes are just like grass on the wall. Ge Luofeng got the land in the south, but he threatened it with soldiers and took it with kindness and coercion. For more than a hundred years,
No one can guarantee what the situation will be on the ground. It is good to educate the barbarians, but I don’t want to see you being careless and getting yourself into trouble."
"I know." Zhong Jushuang was a little moved.
He is a scholar, and his thinking is indeed different from that of a warrior like Li Tangbin or even a saint.
Those who came to the killing field looked at people differently, and they were extremely murderous.
In the early years, the saint conquered the grassland and killed many people, and then gave the women and children to the Chao army as wives. Li Tangbin killed many people in Yunnan, and it is probably similar.
"Go ahead, let's do it, and discuss everything with King Yan and Li Tangbin." Shao Shude said, "My next energy will be mainly focused on the west."
