Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1082

On February [-]th of the second year of Tianyou, it snowed heavily.

The Shuowang court meeting is coming to an end, the queen leaves her seat, and all the officials leave the court.

Shao Shude was slightly moved.

The queen is becoming more and more majestic, with the air of a heroine coming to court.

After the dynasty was over, Shao Shude summoned Sikong Bing, the envoy of Wei Bo, in the Lichun Hall of Shangyang Palace, accompanied by the empress—well, theoretically speaking, it should be the empress who summoned him, accompanied by Shao Shude.

"Luo Shuai finally figured it out, do you want to enter the court?" Shao Shude asked with a smile.

"Your Highness..." Seeing the queen sitting there, Sikong Bing hesitated to speak, but seeing Shao Shude's lack of response, he could only say: "After the fall of Beizhou, the morale in the town was low, Luo Shuai called everyone to discuss, but nothing came out. "

"Wufu Chengde has run away, why are you still insisting?" Shao Shude asked in surprise; "Do you all want to die?"

"Your Highness, Luo Shuai doesn't really want to fight, but the generals don't listen." Sikong Bing said.

Shao Shude nodded.

He knew what Sikong Bing meant, Luo Shaowei's prestige was not enough, now not only could he not get back the Xiangwei Second State, he even lost Beizhou.If it weren't for Lu Yanwei's help to force Xia's army to retreat, Bozhou would also be suspended.In a society with a military electoral system, life should be difficult for him.

Wei Bo has no sympathy for the weak.

"Why did Luo Shuai send you here?"

"Come here for the repair of the two strikers."

Shao Shude didn't show any disappointment.No matter how Wei Bo reacted, it would not affect his established plan.If Wei Bowu surrendered all at once, he would be a fool to recruit them all.

"Luo Shuai still doesn't give up." Shao Shude said with a smile: "It will be too late to regret it when the ax is added to the body that day."

Empress He twitched uncomfortably when she heard the words "Ax and Yue add body".

In her heart, the shadow of death has never been far away.Even if Shao Shude seems to be very interested in her, she will try her best to please her, but nothing is absolute.What can you do when you lift your pants and refuse to accept the account?
"Luo Shuai is also helpless." Sikong Bing sighed, and said: "The generals recruited their own soldiers and raised their own money and food. Tutuan Township bravely formed associations to protect themselves, and prefectures and counties ran rampant across the border. Not many people still follow orders."

"Go back and tell Luo Shaowei that if he can make meritorious service, he will definitely have a place in the court in the future." Shao Shude said.

"How to do meritorious deeds?" Sikong Bing asked.

"Sikong Sima is such a smart person, do you still need me to teach him?" Shao Shude smiled.

Sikong Bing smiled awkwardly, of course there is a way, although it is not easy to operate.

"Si Kongqing, but return to Weizhou. If Luo Shizhong is willing to enter the court, it will be a good talk." The queen said suddenly: "In the past, Wei Zhen also contributed to the suppression of Huangchao and Qin Zongquan. The court will definitely not sit back and watch Luo Shizhong fall into danger. not to be saved."

Theoretically speaking, Wei Bozhen did contribute to the pacification of Huang and Qin, but it was only a small amount of money and a battle.The quantity is not large, not as grand as Wang Rong.

"Thank you Queen for your kindness." Sikong Bing cupped his hands perfunctorily and said.

You are the queen of the old dynasty, but not the queen of the new dynasty. What's the use of saying this?Given the current situation of the imperial court, the Jiedu envoys of the towns are probably unwilling to join the imperial court.The emperor and the empress were pinched in Shao Shude's hands, and life and death were only a matter of thought, so it's better to wait and see the situation.

Sikong Bing quickly left Lichun Palace.

Shao Shude sat on the dragon chair directly, and the queen moved aside, hesitating to speak.

Shanggong Chen handed over a lot of official letters.

She lived a relatively healthy life these past few days, no one was competing for favor, and King Xia belonged to her alone every night.

She was originally a laid-back and indifferent temperament, and she didn't have much demand for matters between men and women.But since the child died five years ago, she has always wanted to have another one, to accompany her and teach herself.Ever since, there are more demands.

Like a real emperor, Shao Shude reviewed all kinds of tables, chapters, memorials, and books, as well as the imperial edicts, regulations, imperial edicts, volumes, and German notes written by Zhongshu. After reading a copy, he handed it to the queen, saying: " That's right."

This is to let the queen approve it, and then send it to the door after agreeing.

The queen was absent-minded, and took a cursory look: "Government of Li Yanling as the Governor of the South Road".

I was taken aback, Li Yanling was Sinongqing, one of the Taifu's most trusted confidantes, how did he let him out?

Sinongqing is from the third rank, and the governor is from the third rank. This is a promotion, but from the center to the local area, it feels weird no matter what.You know, the founding of the country is imminent, and everyone wants to squeeze into the center, so why did they let it out?

Spreading it out, Henan Province governs the fourteen prefectures of Biansong, Boying, Hua, Cai, Chenxu, Yun, Caopu, and Shenguangshou, which are basically all the original four towns of Xuanwu, Tianping, Zhongwu, and Fengguo, plus Yicheng, Huai Each part of the West.

Undoubtedly, the Henan Province was severely divided.

"Don't you understand?" Shao Shude smiled, and handed over a few more copies: "Designation of Dai Siyuan as the Commander of the Henan Province", "Awarding of Zhang Yanqiu as the Governor of Huaihai Province", "Awarding of Wangjiao as the Commander of the Huaihai Province".

Huaihai Road has jurisdiction over the thirteen prefectures of Ziqingdenglaidiqi, Yanhai Yimi, and Xususi, which are basically the original states of Henan Province.

Zhili, Henan, and Huaihai have completely divided Henan.

"The Taifu must have a reason for doing this." The queen said.

"I want to take over the military power of the governor of the world, but it is not that simple." Shao Shude said: "The Guanbei and Zhili Dao are my old background, so I am not worried at all. But the Henan and Huaihai Dao, It's not that simple. It's more complicated when it comes to the abolition of feudal towns. Therefore, I need to choose a good person. This person must have some prestige and connections among my subordinates, but he must not be too ambitious. It is best to be a warrior. Qiu Ba and the others deal with each other. Based on this calculation, Li Yanling and Zhang Yanqiu are the most suitable."

Li Yanling is an old man from Shao Shudeyuan, who has deep connections in the army.But he is over 60, has no ambitions, and his abilities are average, so it is not a big problem for him to take over the military power in Henan.

Zhang Yanqiu is not young anymore. He used to be the coach of the capital in Hedong, and he has a close relationship with Shao Shude.He made a fuss in Jinyang back then, and he was a little ambitious, but it wasn't that big. It was a last resort for self-protection in troubled times, and he later handed over the military power to Zheng Congxuan.

Moreover, he has served the Xia Army for many years, diligently, and now serves as the deputy envoy of the Tiande Army.Shao Shude transferred him to Huaihai Road, so he was more at ease, and Zhang Yanqiu was also capable of stabilizing the situation in Huaihai Road.

After several years of observation, Dai Siyuan actively moved closer to the organization, and worked harder than Zhu Zhen, Ding Hui and others. It couldn't be more suitable for him to be Li Yanling's partner.

As for Wang Jiao, Shao Shude originally planned to call him into the imperial army, but now he has changed his mind.Let him lead the state and county soldiers in the entire Huaihai Road first, and see if he can make new contributions.

He will follow up and observe this person for a long time.

Shao Shude briefly talked about the situation of these people. The queen's left ear went in, and the right ear went out. After listening, she forgot, and didn't bother to read any more, so she directly replied and agreed with the imperial pen, and then looked up at Shao Shude.

"There is also the matter of abolishing the feudal town. Please approve it as soon as possible and send it to Zhongshu's subordinates, so that after the governor and commander take office, there will still be Jiedu envoys, and it will be difficult to manage." Shao Shude waved his hand, and the queen leaned in past.

Shanggong Chen only took ten breaths silently, but saw that the first button on the queen's gown had been undone.King Xia practiced too well.

"Teacher, after the abdication..." The queen subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but she was already caught.

Shao Shude hugged the Queen on his lap, turned her back to him, and said, "You woman, what's the matter? Why doubt the promise?"

"The concubine is afraid of adding an ax to her body." The queen panted softly.

Shao Shude understood, it turned out that what he said when he talked with Sikong Bing just now stimulated her.

"There is no ax to add to the body, only love to the body." Shao Shude leaned into the queen's ear and laughed softly.

Chen spat secretly.

In fact, she had a private conversation with the queen.Both of them are the emperor's women, and they have a lot in common.After a long conversation, Chen found that the queen was very anxious.She has hated the saint, it is impossible to go back, and she will die if she goes back.

Xiaoyi also has many concerns about serving King Xia because her identity is too sensitive.

What's more, King Xia is lucky that he has already joined, and now it seems that they are playing a small game that both of them never get tired of.The queen set the bottom line step by step, but was broken every time, but not many.With King Xia's abnormality, he doesn't know when it will be a head.

"Teacher..." the queen panted, "I will rely on you for the memorials of civil and military court officials and foreign generals. After the abdication, will you accept me? If you don't want to, build a temple and let me practice."

"He Jushi can't compare with Empress He." Shao Shude sighed: "Empress Defentong is good at the management of Jiaowei. She also understands righteousness and has made great contributions to state affairs. After abdication, she cherished her homeland and lost all thoughts. She went to Anguo Female Taoist priests practice."

The queen was silent. Although she was disappointed, it was already the best ending.

"Queen, don't worry, cultivation is not that hard, I will always take the queen to gallop and shoot." Shao Shude said.

Empress He's eyes lit up, and she said pleasantly, "Can you still go hunting in Shendu Garden?"

"No, it's not true, I'm going to shoot the ear." Shao Shude said with a smile: "I wear armor and shoot at foot, and I can hold an eighteen-strike bow. The queen should be very happy to see it."

The short-breathing queen and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

This bastard!

After a little relaxation, the couple continued to deal with government affairs.

Queen is now a rubber stamp.She did what Shao Shude said, and even the imperial criticism was verbatim.Although he does not have the name of an emperor, everything Shao Shude owns now is no different from that of an emperor.

Reviewing memorials, meeting officials, issuing imperial edicts, sitting on dragon chairs, eating imperial meals, and sleeping with queens, it couldn't be more authentic.

"Tomorrow, we will hold a Yanying Inquiries to discuss matters concerning Guannei, Hexi, and Longyou." Shao Shude picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said.

"Okay." The queen was in a daze, and immediately responded when she heard the words.

(Some people also asked why they couldn’t see the chapter comments. This, I said once before. I can see what you said in the background, but it is temporarily blocked by the starting point.)
