Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1057 Family
On August [-]th of the first year of Tianyou, it was sunny.

The sage has long decreed that Ruzhou Qingshu Palace will be given to King Xia as his residence.Therefore, his large family lives here without any pressure.The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the inside and outside of Qingshu Palace are even more beautifully decorated, full of festive atmosphere.

On this day, Princess Zhe Fangai first went to the place where the children were studying, and then went back to Bixia Palace to meet several tribal chiefs from the grassland.

Shao Sheng is not here, Zhe Sheng is in charge.The grassland chieftains are very well informed, so they naturally know who to contact.

Liu Jingxuan, the internal affairs officer, summoned the chieftains one by one to enter the palace, and the scenery was incomparable.

He finally made a comeback.After King Xia decided to give him another chance, the concubine sent him to her side and led a group of young eunuchs to manage Qingshu Palace, which was not bad.

Wang Bei, the son of Sanquan inspector Wang He, stuffed Liu Jingxuan with a [-]-yuan denomination silver dollar note from Luoyangfang City, so he got the first chance to be summoned.

Wang He, Wang Bei, and Fei Xiong's army envoy Wang Chong were all members of the Xiangzangcai Department of the former Montenegro Party.The leader of the Wang clan, Wang Xie, has passed away. As the eldest son, Wang Chong gave up the opportunity to inherit the tribe and chose to develop in the army, so the tribe passed to Wang He.

As the eldest son of Wang He, Wang Bei has just turned 17 this year, but he is no longer a teenager: he has fought in battle, killed people, and has two children. When his father was called to the army, he stayed behind in the tribe to handle various affairs.

Of course, no matter how important the tribal affairs are, it is not as important as coming to the Central Plains to face the Holy Spirit.Thinking about the coming of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Double Ninth Festival, he chose the "billion point" gift and came to the Central Plains.

He met his aunt Wang Shi yesterday, and he sighed endlessly.

Aunt Wang has been working as a maid in the palace of Lingwu County for a long time. She was once appreciated for her talent and knowledge of grassland affairs. Unfortunately, after many years, she did not give birth to a boy and a half girl. She is still a female historian in the palace. , but the age has gradually grown, so what can I do.

"See Wangfei." Inside Bixia Hall, Wang Bei bowed and saluted.

"Sit down." Zhe Fangai stretched out her fingers and said: "The gift presented by Captain Wang is very suitable for His Highness, I'm here to thank you."

One thousand horses, two thousand camels, three thousand cows, and fifty thousand sheep were gifts from the Tibetan talent Wang.Tang, Deng, and Xiangyang have entered the stage of key development, and the new agricultural production model has a great demand for livestock. This gift is really in line with Shao Shude's wishes.

"The Wang family's ranch is still a reward from His Royal Highness, it should be, it should be." Wang Bei said immediately.

Sanquan is located in Naimu, Zhaosu, the location of the capital of the later Yuan Dynasty. The natural conditions of the pasture are very superior, and Wang is very satisfied.Recently, they planned to build a city in the local area, called "Zangcai City", as the tribe's old nest-building the city was also the request of the King of Xia, and the Wang family was also willing, so it was a perfect match.

"Once you have the ranch, you have to work hard in the future. Don't let up on defense in the north." Zhe Fangai warned.

"Yes, yes." Wang Bei nodded repeatedly.

Shao Shude had never seen Zhesheng's majesty, and only felt her feminine side, but the chiefs of the tribes, big and small, had already experienced it more than once.

Women who came out of the grassland environment are not simple.

Then the two chatted about the internal affairs of the tribe.The Zangcai Department has a population of [-], and it is the largest of the five Yinshan tribes. Zhe Fangmai has dabbled in matters such as the growth and decline of pastures, the reproduction of cattle and sheep, and even livestock diseases.After chatting for a while, Wang Bei was greatly admired and retreated respectfully.

After Wang Bei left, Zhuang Zhan, the heir of Jiyuquan Zhuanglangbu, came to see him again.

The Xiangzhuanglang Department of the Shanhou Dang controlled the trade routes of Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and built a city in Jiyuquan. It has a certain scale of planting industry and many craftsmen. Therefore, although the population ([-]) only ranks second, but Strength is undisputed number one.

This thorn-headed tribe that was robbed by Liao, Xixia, and Northern Song in history is now submissive.Zhuang Zhan presented a gift list, after Zhe Fangai read it, she was quite satisfied and praised a few words.

Zhesheng's style of work is different from that of the Central Plains saints. It is a matter of course for the Great Khan of the Grassland to accept tribute from his subordinates. There is never a need to return gifts and rewards. Even if there is, it depends on the Khan's mood. Anyway, there is no such rule.

In addition to cattle, sheep, horses and camels, the Zhuang family presented a lot of gold and silver wares from the Western Regions, as well as spices, paints and other things, and then mentioned the Tatars' occupation of Heichengzi.

"After the Khan sent troops to defeat the Uighurs, the Heichengzi area was occupied by the Tatars again. These were all moved from the east, and they didn't understand the rules at all. They even went south to plunder while our Zhuanglang army was marching eastward. Arrogant." Obviously, Zhuang Zhan came to complain this time.

"Right now, attacking the Central Plains is the most important thing. Why, the Zhuang Lang family can't even afford to wait for this?" Zhe Fangai asked.

"How dare, how dare." Zhuang Zhan's face changed, and he said with a dry smile.

"The loyalty of the Zhuanglang family is known to Khan. There are many children of the Zhuanglang tribe in Weiwei Temple and Yinanzhi. The future of the Zhuanglang tribe still depends on their growth." Zhe Fangai said: "Wait After defeating the east of the river, is it not easy to conquer the grassland?"

"What Ke Dun said is very true, I was the one who did it." Zhuang Zhan said with a smile.

Zhuang Zhan left soon, followed by the Qibi tribe, the Geshu tribe, the Hun tribe, the Mizang tribe, the Yeli tribe, the Weicai tribe, and more than 20 tribes large and small in Helong.

Zhe Fangai focused on talking with Qi Bibu.

Aizi Mingyi is seven years old this year, and has already made a marriage contract with Qi Bizhang's granddaughter, so the relationship between the two families is naturally unusual.And the Qibi tribe also contributed the most cattle and sheep among the tribes, with more than [-] miscellaneous animals. This year, the tribe was severely robbed, and it was able to contribute so many gifts. It can be seen that Qibizhang is He made up his mind to tie the future of the tribe with the Shaw Brothers.

At three quarters of the day, all the tribal leaders finally left.Zhe Fangai only felt tired for a while, so she invited Zhao Yu and the Feng sisters to drink tea together.

Zhao Yu was in his late forties, and his color had faded.Especially when an elderly mother gives birth to Balang Duanfeng, her body is not as good as before.In the past two years, I have been recuperating. I usually write poems and paint pictures, and my temperament has become more and more calm.

Aunt Feng is even a little older than Zhao Yu, and has reached her fifties.Although he has been pampered and well-maintained since he was a child, he looks like he is in his early forties, but his age is no longer what it used to be.

Feng Erniang is nearly forty, and her personality is still the same as that of the past, which has not changed for so many years.But she doesn't like sword dancing anymore, because no one appreciates it. King Xia always plays with wild women outside and makes a bunch of children, which makes her a little sad.

Zhe Fangai likes to hang out with these older women in the palace, maybe it's because she is in an older state of mind.

Several women got together and talked about children.

Chong Niang is already married, and she is about to marry Ye Li Kecheng.When mentioning this matter, Xiao Feng was also a little sad. He was about to get married after raising such a big child, and he couldn't bear to part with it.

After talking about King Xia's conquest of Xingzhou, Xiao Feng's mood fluctuated a little, and he sighed faintly.When she married in Xingzhou, she quarreled with her husband Wei Wei all day long. Later, she went to the capital and took refuge in Fuping. In the end, she and Congjie were lucky for King Xia.Two children were born successively, and the second daughter died of illness nine years ago.

Thinking of the years when I was young, I feel a little crazy.

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and the few people ended the conversation and looked around in a blink of an eye.

Liu Jingxuan hurried over, hesitant to speak.

"Say it straight," Zhefang said.

"Yes." Liu Jingxuan organized his words, and said, "There is a new scholar, Ke Chong, asking to see him..."

After all, he carefully said what Ke Chong said.

Zhao Yu's eyes froze, and then he lost interest.Now that the conspiracy has been exposed, there is no lethality.

"Why didn't Ke Chong look for Xiang Xiang? Or go directly to His Highness?" Zhe Fangai asked.

"Ke Chong didn't know where His Highness was stationed, and he didn't dare to trust anyone. Hearing that the princess was in Qingshu Palace, he secretly looked for it." Liu Jingxuan replied.

Zhe Fangai nodded, knowing Ke Chong a bit.Thoughtful and thoughtful, she was worried that someone would take credit for her work, so she went directly to the right master.

The sage is also really nonsense.It's fine if you can't recognize the situation clearly, and you can't keep things secret. Even a newcomer like Ke Chong can keep in touch with such secrets, so she doesn't know what to say.

"Let Ke Chong come in." Zhe Fangai ordered.

******
Shao Shude was inspecting the autumn harvest in Weizhou when he received the news.

After reading the secret report, he just smiled and didn't say much.

However, I have to admit that the Saint's trick still has a certain possibility of success.

During the face-to-face saints, they wear official robes and cannot carry weapons.At this time, the palace people performed dances, and the queen toasted frequently, fully grasping his lustful weakness.If you accidentally drink too much, just hit you on the back of the head casually, and the possibility of being killed by a maid or eunuch is not small.

After killing himself, what should the saint do?
He can't learn from Yu Wenyong.Yu Wenyong can kill Yu Wenhu and kill his henchmen, what can a saint do?
The system is completely different. The Later Zhou Dynasty is a government army system. As long as the capital is controlled, the government soldiers scattered all over the country for the people will not be able to raise troops to avenge Yuwenhu.But what is the situation today?Where does a saint get his confidence?Is it impossible to collude with someone?

Shao Shude decided to keep his face and let the sage continue to carry out the plan.

Over the years, he has also absorbed many officials and generals from all sides, and he wants to see if there are any unexpected people jumping out.

"Why is Yang Yue always staring at Khitan? I asked him to fight Li Keyong and plunder Khitan. The two tasks are equally important. He is fine... this stubborn old man!" Shao Shude put down the army in Weizhou Prefecture Report, dumbfounding.

Yang Yue went to Pingdi Pine Forest to collect "year-old coins" again. The Khitan Pin Department and Chu Te Department were beaten to the ground, losing thousands of people and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

Khitan was beaten so hard, there are advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that the pressure on Bohai State is less.Yeluyi sent troops this year, and just broke through the "Northern Powerful Army" of Bohai Kingdom, occupied the whole of the two prefectures and seven counties of Fuyu Prefecture, and then attacked Suzhou, Solo Prefecture, and conquered it.He was planning to continue to attack the Xiande Mansion in Zhongjing, Bohai Sea, when he heard the bad news, he had to retreat.

Another benefit is that Anton Mansion has gained crucial development time.

After Lushun County got on the right track, Pinghai and Dongping counties also roughly stabilized.The army commanded by Fu Cunshen fought several battles in the local area, wiped out some Tu nationality forces who refused to obey, and initially established the prestige of the Xia army.

So far, there are more than [-] households and [-] population in Lushun County, [-] households and [-] population in Pinghai County, and [-] households and [-] population in Dongping County. When it is in place, the army suppresses the place, and the rule becomes more and more stable.

The disadvantages are also obvious.

The Khitans were forced to retreat twice in a row, so they had to face this problem seriously.Newly migrated tribes like the Zangcai Wang clan will face great pressure to survive.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, Shao Shude couldn't say anything, but decided to send an envoy to remind Yang Yue to take it easy and not be too partial.

The second military report: The eldest son, Shao Chengjie, has left Chang'an and is heading west, commanding [-] soldiers of the Golden Sword Army and the Black Sword Army.

The 4 people did not carry many horses, and most of them were converted into infantry.

Li Maozhen has repeatedly defeated Zhao Jian, and has Kemao and Langer Prefectures. He is currently attacking Long and Jian, and the situation is not very optimistic.

The problem now is that Shao Shude has not yet made up his mind whether to abolish Shannan West Road.

It is obviously impossible to keep the Shannan West Road in the rear when conquering Shu in the south. If possible, it is best to cancel this feudal town and keep the states in your own hands.

According to the previous trials, Zhuge Zhongfang was willing to offer goods and goods, but he was not willing to provide soldiers, and the possibility of handing over power was extremely low, so he had to use force.

Reminiscent of the rumors that Li Kuangwei led Yan soldiers to flee to Xingyuan Mansion, Shao Shude has already tended to forcefully cut down the feudal clan. A considerable part was recruited by Zhuge Zhongfang.

Thinking of this festival, he asked the civil servants to write a letter to Luoyang, asking the court to call Zhuge Zhongfang into the court.

After handling these two official affairs, Shao Shude sent someone to send a message to Luoyang, summoning Dafeng's son Mianren and Zhuge's son Guancheng.

The two sons, one 13 years old and the other 12 years old, are currently familiarizing themselves with military affairs at Weiwei Temple. It is time to take them with them and teach them some things about using soldiers to fight.What the two elder brothers have experienced, the third and fourth sons have to go through the same thing.

Having more children and cultivating more, if each of the ten sons can lead the army, then they can share too many things for him.In this world, outsiders still can't believe it.
