After returning to Beijing, the first heavy snow of this winter fell one after another, and it stopped in two days.
When the snow stopped, Shao Shude planned to go hunting in Shendu Garden, but he felt unwell, so he stayed in Shangyang Palace to recuperate.
He decisively stopped taking sea dog pills.
Zhang Juzheng ate a lot of this stuff in his later years and eventually died. It may have been caused by overwork, or it may have something to do with sea dog pills.
Shao Shude was dismissive of this thing from the beginning, and during his tour, he hinted to the Imperial Medical Bureau to make this thing and offer it to his concubine. He lost count of how many pills he took during this period.
Anyway, after he got this thing, he became more powerful and had troubles with Queen Ya of Gaochang, Queen Gao of Bohai, Queen Shulu of Khitan, Zhong, the young princess and others.
Although he considered himself to be physically stronger than the scholar Zhang Juzheng, he was still several years older than Zhang Juzheng. If he continued to eat it, he would die suddenly.
He has now figured out that some things cannot be forced.
Li Siyuan was able to give birth to his son Li Congyi at the age of 65 and a daughter at the age of 66. His physical fitness was indeed good, although he only lived to the age of 67.
Don't envy others.
You don’t have to take sea dog pills, you can still cheer up by taking more rest and lengthening the intervals.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine." Zhong brought a bowl of dark medicinal soup and said softly.
"Okay." Shao Shude picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Mr. Zhong was about to speak but stopped.
She is now pregnant and has been pregnant for several months. She is very dissatisfied with the fact that the saint still indulges in sexual activities at such an age, so she does not hesitate to seek help from tiger and wolf medicine. But she is very contradictory. She is opposed to the saint's debauchery, but she also regards serving men as a matter of course.
, for a moment I didn’t know where to start.
"Okay, I know it well." Shao Shude gently stroked Zhong's bulging belly and said with a smile: "This may be my last child."
Mr. Hao was holding a book and watching from the side. She was pregnant earlier than Mr. Zhong, so the saint couldn't hold back when he thought of her identity.
"Your Majesty must cherish the dragon body." Zhong sighed, then walked behind Shao Shude, gently pressed his shoulders, and said: "There is an envoy from Persia who has been waiting for Your Majesty for several months."
"I heard that he has bought a house in Beijing, why?" Shao Shude asked.
"I heard that the man wrote a book in Persia, which made the Persian king Long Yan furious and wanted the envoy." Zhong said: "The envoy was also quite popular. Someone tipped him off, so he stayed in Luoyang.
Dare to go back."
"What book did you write?"
"That's the one." Zhong pointed at Shao and said with a smile.
When Mr. Hao heard their conversation, he burst out laughing. She closed the book and said, "Can your Majesty understand the book in Sogdian?"
"Be careful. I'll take two sea dog pills and I'll deal with you severely." Shao Shude was joking at first, but looking at Shao's bulging belly, he felt a little embarrassed that he didn't even need to take medicine.
Shao seemed to feel something and looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Let you go first." Shao Shude smiled and said, "What's the name of the book?"
"'Hu Da's Whip'." said Mr. Shao.
After that, she selected a few excerpts that she thought were interesting and read them to Shao Shude.
Shao Shude couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Tam, the author of this book, had summoned him several times. Because he was familiar with the customs of various countries and fluent in many languages, he once wanted to keep him as an official in Daxia. However, Tam wanted to return to his hometown, so he gave up. As a result, he unexpectedly died because of a
Wanted for this book?
"Wanted by the Persian government or the church?" Shao Shude asked.
"They are all wanted, but someone from the government tipped him off," Zhong said.
"The Persian ministers and nobles are also not religious in their beliefs." Shao Shude said with a smile: "It is not that they have no conflicts with the church. In fact, the conflicts are not small. There is no concession at all in the struggle for power, something that touches the soul.
."
Mr. Zhong glanced at Shao Shude.
If the Persians are like this, how can the saints not be the same?
If there hadn't been the serious illness in Ezhou, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been willing to hand over power, right? As soon as he returned to Beijing, he immediately summoned the prince to come and ask questions, learn about military and state affairs, and give advice on gains and losses. Afterwards, he ordered the chiefs of the grassland tribes and the palaces of slave tribes.
The prisoner came to Luoyang to hold a heaven-sacrifice meeting in February or March next year - this time the prince will preside over it.
The attitude of entrusting family wealth is very obvious.
But what happened before that? What was the attitude? Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
It is absolutely not allowed to meddle with the imperial army on a large scale. If the prince dares to do so, the sixth prince will be recalled to Luoyang from Baping City with an edict. What follows is a bloody storm, and the result is obvious. The saint stops in the army.
The generals who followed the prince had to kneel down and abandon their weapons.
The world has changed so unexpectedly that people are caught off guard. The prince has waited for many years and finally got the result.
Thinking of this, Zhong suddenly felt a sense of sadness deep in his heart.
Although she was "offered" by her family, how could she not have feelings in her heart after having been with the saint for more than ten years? At least, she acted upright and recognized the saint's achievements and believed that he was a hero who brought happiness to the people of the world.
He is also a person who sincerely works - in this world, there are many officials and too few people doing things.
Nowadays even the saints are feeling a bit uncomfortable indeed.
Mr. Hao also vaguely felt a little sad, so he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I heard that the book "Hu Da's Whip" sold thousands of copies in Bukhara, and also sold more than a thousand copies in Samarkand, Shashi and other places.
Once this book was published, it spread far and wide. I think it may be available in Baghdad. Although it is a banned book, it cannot be preserved and many people secretly collect it."
"So what?" Shao Shude said subconsciously: "I still need them to make my name famous?"
"It's always good to let more people know the majesty of the Supreme Emperor." Shao said, "Maybe there will be fewer wars."
"Send a copy of this book to Pijia." Shao Shude said with a smile.
Mr. Hao rolled his eyes at him.
Shao Shude was elated. What was Mr. Hao's attitude towards him before? Even if he was lucky, he would die heroically. Now, he was already flirting with her.
"Have you read the two articles "Business" and "Ground Rent"?" Shao Shude looked at Shao and asked.
"seen it already."
"how?"
"It seems to make some sense."
"It doesn't matter whether it makes sense or not, the exam will be taken in two years anyway," Shao Shude said.
In fact, these two books were printed a year ago and have been distributed all over the world. Originally, they were planned to be a separate book without a miscellaneous book. Later, they were simply added to "Zhizhi", turning it from three articles into
Five articles.
Shao Shude worked so hard to educate the official reserve officers in order to reform the three views of the Jinshi, improve their horizons, and prevent them from slipping into the direction of corrupt Confucianism.
In the imperial examination two years later, the five chapters of the new "Zhizhi" will be tested, and this book will be promoted to a major classic and will no longer be a medium classic.
With seven years of experience in Tongguang, students all know that the book "Zhi Zhi" is an incredible book, and more than half of the questions are related to it. If you don't study hard, you will be committing suicide, and you have no one to blame.
The transformation of society is carried out bit by bit and silently.
After chatting with the two pregnant women for a while, Shao Shude's mood became better and better.
At that time, it was just noon and the Lichun Hall was warm. After Shao Shude drank the medicine and had a cup of tea, he came to the forest garden in front of the hall and lay half on the Hu bed, enjoying the warm winter sun.
Mrs. Liu hurried over holding a stack of memorials.
Zhong shook his head slightly.
"Put it on the desk." Shao Shude said lazily.
"Yes." Mrs. Liu responded.
"Is there any urgent memorial?" Shao Shude asked.
"The Taifeng Gong clan has withdrawn its troops," Liu replied.
"Hmm." Shao Shude waved his hand, signaling Liu to help himself.
The war between the three countries on the Korean Peninsula broke out about a few months ago. Shao Shude was still on the road at that time. After hearing about it, he did not give a clear answer, but asked Honglu Temple to step up his efforts to find out the news.
New news soon came, and Gong Yi sent more than 20,000 people south to Silla, capturing more than ten cities.
After hearing this, Shao Shude finally felt very embarrassed.
He sent people to mediate, but no one paid attention, and the fight continued. As a result, the Privy Council immediately received an order to mobilize troops.
The Dongnae Town Army took the lead in dispatching to help the Silla army repel the invading enemies. Then, they marched non-stop to the west and forced back the Baekje army who intended to take advantage of the situation. Shao Shude has never been able to understand this matter.
Why did Ji Zhenxuan refuse to unite with Silla to deal with Taifeng together, but instead wanted to take advantage of the situation?
Lianwu refused to play against Cao, so what was going on? Are you out of your mind?
In fact, what really put great pressure on Taifeng was the Liaodong soldiers who moved south from the north. They were undergoing winter training at that time, and more than 10,000 people quickly moved south and entered Lezhou.
There happened to be a rebellion by a local wealthy family in Lezhou, and they were suppressed on the spot by Nanxiafu soldiers. Later, they were implicated and three to four thousand families were exiled.
Progress to the south was unfavorable, and the north was facing threats. It was foreseeable that Gong Yi would eventually succumb.
After this war, the reunification of the Korean Peninsula has become far away. At least in Shao Shude's view, it will not be possible for decades.
The Tang Dynasty made the mistake of withdrawing its troops once, which allowed Silla to unify. The Xia Dynasty had no ties from other directions for the time being, and it was impossible to fall into the same trap again.
Now, the most important thing is to take advantage of this successful military intervention to step up the "Khotanization" of Silla. Shao Shude plans to hold a review in two days and select a group of officials with relatively good quality to go eastward -
- The number of people is tentatively determined to be twenty - go to Silla and serve as assistant officials at various levels of government.
This is an old trick of the Tang Dynasty, and it worked very well in various countries in the Western Regions. In the end, the tax revenue of Khotan, Qiuci and other countries was controlled by the Tang Dynasty. There were Tang Dynasty officials in the lowest-level government offices, and the entire country
It almost evolved peacefully. If Tibet hadn't taken advantage of the situation and moved north after the Anshi Rebellion, forcibly interrupting this process, the countries in the Western Regions might have abolished vassals and established counties, becoming the Zhengzhou of the Tang Dynasty.
Shao Shude is preparing to repeat this process in Silla, and has made a good start so far.
