In early March, the imperial examination results were released.
A series of tragedies and comedies were once again staged below the list.
The people of Luoyang are quite reserved, and they cannot do that kind of thing like grabbing a new Jinshi with a white beard and going home to be their son-in-law. After all, Jinshi is not that popular, and the era of military men ruling the country has not completely ended, so there is no need to treat one's own daughter badly.
There was no palace examination this year, and the saint was in a bad mood, so he ordered the official to be directly appointed.
The first batch of agricultural officials who passed the examination six years ago took another test, and the outstanding ones were promoted again, which is amazing.
Three years ago, the students who studied agriculture, calculation, and law also received "fair" evaluations, and a large number of them were promoted from the positions of county lieutenants and bookkeepers to county magistrates and county magistrates.
The elegant government of the new dynasty is so terrifying.
In late March, Shao Shude asked again about the compilation of "Tongguang Quanshu".
This book is an encyclopedic masterpiece. It was originally nearing completion, but many books obtained from Persia and Cathay were temporarily added, and the progress has been delayed.
However, Shao Shudejia sent manpower. If we move quickly, the manuscript will be completely completed by the end of this year or early next year. After that, there will be more than one round of proofreading and review. I don’t know if it will be completed in my lifetime. It will probably be enough.
The scholars who were half forced and half coaxed from Persia have been living in Luoyang for several years.
They have completely integrated into the new life, writing books and teaching as their professions - this is normal, but they can't leave. What can they do if they don't integrate into life?
Occasionally, when Shao Shude went to the Imperial Palace to inspect, he would be asked whether the palace was still under repair.
He could only laugh at this. It was impossible to cultivate, not even in this life.
The Persians anticipated this outcome, accepted the fact calmly, and continued to teach and educate people.
Good news came from Sinong Temple. They relied on the obtained sweat-blooded horses and their mixed descendants, and cross-bred them with a large number of local horses to obtain a new horse breed with stable genetic traits.
After careful questioning, Shao Shude learned that this kind of horse was just a "transition", so he gave up the plan of naming it and asked Sinong Temple to continue their efforts and complete the breeding as soon as possible.
In mid-April, a rebellion broke out in Yunnan due to a large number of conscripts being drafted to mine, resulting in many casualties. The victorious army, mainly composed of Shu troops, suppressed the rebellion.
…
There are a lot of things to do and they can never be finished. Shao Shude knows this very well.
His mentality has become very peaceful. He can do whatever he wants, rest when he needs to, and try to recharge his batteries as much as possible to fight against more and more fatigue and illness in his body.
Sometimes, he would call his life's collection to him and talk to them about the past - there was no future to talk about, and they had no future to speak of. The only outcome was to live in the palace on Luhun Mountain and live in youth for the rest of their lives.
Denggu Buddha.
Older concubines like Yue Liduo and Bodhisattva Nu were fine, but concubines like Xiao Chu and Xiao Wuniang who were young and had no heirs had a hard time.
Shao Shude was not as magnanimous as Li Cunxu who gave away his concubine who had just given birth to a child, nor was he as magnanimous as Yang Xingmi who ordered his first wife to remarry someone else.
He is the founding king, a hero who has dominated the world for more than 20 years, and is the supreme emperor of Jianwen, Shenwu and Wu. He has his own dignity.
At the end of April, news came from the west that the prince had completed his tour of Ganzhou, paraded at Xiedan Racecourse, and formed an alliance with the Hexi Dangxiang tribes. This meeting had left for Liangzhou.
After learning the news, Shao Shude issued several decrees in succession, ordering all palace slaves, palace supervisors, ten thousand households, one thousand households, one hundred households, and tribal elites to gather in Yin Mountain.
What came this time was not Daxia’s family background, but the royal family’s family background.

The Tian family has a few leisure months, but in May people are twice as busy. The south wind blows at night, and the wheat is covered with yellow.
May is the winter wheat harvest season.
After two consecutive years of heavy rains that affected the grain harvest, Tongguang finally ushered in a bumper harvest.
The inner river of the Yellow River was busy, and the people in the year of Min were extremely happy.
The sage cherished the power of the people. He waited until the summer harvest was over and the people had planted another season of grains before setting off in late June and leaving Luoyang for Mengzhou.
Shao Shude brought along all the people he considered important, including civil and military officials, concubines in the harem and even the princes and grandchildren.
The queen originally wanted to stay and supervise the country, but this time she insisted on going north anyway.
Shao Shude was silent for a long time, and finally ordered the prime minister Zhao Guangfeng and the Duke of Wei Lu Huaizhong to supervise the country together, and rode in the same car with the queen to go north to the grassland.
The driving speed was not very fast, and sometimes we stopped to rest for several to ten days, so we did not arrive in Huaizhou until mid-July.
Shao Shude paid homage to the soldiers who died in battle many years ago.
"It is said that the battle between Chen and Xu wiped out Zhu Quanzhong's main force. In fact, the real chance of victory was to defeat Zhang Quanyi, Zhang Shensi, and Pang Shigu in Heyang." Outside Yuhua Temple in Huaizhou, Shao Shude wandered among the green pines and cypresses.
, said: "These three people have all passed away. Time flies so fast."
The imperial concubine Chu was by his side.
After being kidnapped and becoming the wife of the Shao family, in her golden years, the Chu family gave birth to three sons, four daughters and seven children, which shows the fertility of the beauty.
In the harem, there is probably no one who is more favored than her.
Zhang Quanyi has passed away, more than a year earlier than in history, at the age of four in the Spring and Autumn Period.
His life was not as smooth as in history. He worked hard in the bitter cold land of Liaodong for many years, but in the end he could not make any further progress. Before his death, he was probably quite depressed.
Chu had almost forgotten her past with Zhang Quanyi.
In the past twenty or thirty years, she has often been by the saint's side, taking him with her wherever she went.
On that cold morning in Longquan Mansion, when Zhang Quanyi was shivering from the cold outside the Zhaixing Pavilion, separated by a wall, under the warm spring-like mandarin duck quilt, she had an unforgettable ultimate experience in her life. She became pregnant with a daughter.
, now she is seventeen years old and has reached the age to get married.
At this time, I suddenly heard the news of Zhang Quanyi's death, and my mind was slightly dazed. Then I regained my composure, gently held the saint's arm, and walked quietly with him.
Indeed, time flies so fast.
"The incense in Yuhua Temple is flourishing, which shows that the people give a lot of money." Shao Shude looked at the magnificently renovated temple, smiled happily, and said: "I didn't like Buddhist temples very much in the past, and I often couldn't help but learn from them.
Extract some money there. Now that I think about it, let him go. The people are willing to donate, which shows that they have a comfortable life. In Heyang more than thirty years ago, I was still buying people from Sun Ru. In Heyang more than thirty years later,
It has a completely new look. If the people like it, then so be it."
Trading war horses for people was a routine operation of Shao Shude in his early years.
Fu Cunshen, Wang Jianji, and Yang Shihou, who were under Li Hanzhi's tent at that time, came to surrender at that time - of course, Yang Shihou later ran away.
How could Li Hanzhi, who was as despised as human beings, have three generals? It has to be said that it is a huge irony that he finally died a good death.
Fortunately, Heyang's ending was good. Even if it fell into Zhu Quanzhong's hands, it would be better than Li Hanzhi continuing to cause trouble, even though there were not many people left for him to cause trouble at that time.
"Buddha is very spiritual. I have been praying for His Majesty," said Chu.
Shao Shude stopped, and after a long time, he said: "After I leave, you go to Zhongsheng Prefecture and let Jiulang take care of you. You can entertain your grandchildren and be lively. Luhunshan Palace is cold and lonely. I'm afraid you won't be able to live there."
used."
Mrs. Chu felt a little sad and remained silent.
"I will explain it to you one by one." Shao Shude sighed and said.

After leaving Huaizhou, we drove into the Taihang Mountains.
The escort team was very long.
The majestic Tianxiong Army officers looked at Zixiong, looking at every plant and tree here with a world-wide gaze.
Taihang Baxing is extremely difficult and dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, the outcome of Hedong was disintegrated by politics, not military. It can be seen that the dangers of mountains and rivers have nothing to boast about in the face of the general trend.
The world-famous town that Li Keyong had been running for half his life was finally replaced by peace, which made people sigh.
By the Xia Dynasty, the dangerous mountains and rivers east of Hedong were even divided.
Zezhou was included in the Zhili Road and was also the headquarters of the Imperial Army.
The place that was once devastated by Li Han's disaster has attracted more than 100,000 military family members.
Tens of thousands of immigrants from Guanxi and Henan crossed Zezhou and headed north. After Zhang Wanjin's rebellion was quelled, they successively arrived in Luzhou and settled there, becoming the new owners of the former capital of Zhaoyi Town.
The old county of Shangdang, a famous city in the Warring States Period, already speaks Henan dialect and Guanxi dialect, and the influence of Hedong has been approaching non-existence.
Without the danger of mountains and rivers, Hedong is destined to be a vassal of Henan and an outpost of the imperial court, frightening the grassland and Hebei.
In late August, Shao Shude moved into Hezhai in Jinyang for a short rest.
Here he met Jin Wang Li Luoluo who was ordered to come to see him.
My sister-in-law Liu passed away at the beginning of this year. The coffin has arrived in Daizhou and they were buried together in Li Keyong's tomb.
Shao Shude respected this wise and persevering woman very much.
She had great wisdom and played a very active role in stabilizing the situation in Hedong during Li Keyong's lifetime.
After her death, Empress Zhe was sad for a long time and kept thinking about her past friendship.
Li Luoluo was not born by the Liu family, but she was raised by the Liu family.
Shao Shude looked at this middle-aged nephew and felt a little resentful that iron could not make steel: his face was pale and his body was thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. It was really difficult to compare him with the heroic general who commanded the heavy cavalry in Hedong more than ten years ago.
Get in touch.
Drinking all day long is the main reason, and depression is the secondary reason.
In this regard, he didn't have much to say other than severely reprimanding him and asking him to change his bad habits.
The second generation of Jin kings will probably die soon, and the court may be able to save more money.
Compared with Li Luoluo, his son-in-law Li Cunxu is much healthier. Now he is leading the army in Beiting. He is brave and good at fighting. He has made many achievements. In his free time, he plays musical instruments and writes some music scores. He lives a leisurely life, at least better than in history.
The tragic ending is much better.
This year, Li Cunxu will lead the troops to pursue the Khitan who moved westward under the supervision of Fu Cun, and he may achieve new achievements.
Destiny is a magical thing. Everyone has their own destiny and cannot be forced.
Instead of caring about the fate of the descendants of the Li family, he might as well spend more time looking at the lives of the people in Taiyuan.
