Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1090 Everything is under control
"He was born to steam the people, the chief shepherd of the tree, the two emperors pushed the king to the Zen throne, and the three kings took advantage of the time to revolutionize, and they are extremely one... Marshal Xia Wang, endowed with the posture of a sage, has a strategy of martial arts... Heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, To enjoy virtue...to obey the sky and obey the people, to follow Yao, Zen and Shun..."

The book was not long, so they finished it quickly, and then the two looked at Shao Shude.

"There are four hundred prefectures in the country, and there are tens of millions of people. There are not many people who can be Liang Dong's talents, but there are countless people who can serve as generals. What can I do? I respectfully ask the sage to take back my life." Shao Shude declined.

"The Grand Tutor is loyal, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other." Pei Shu said with emotion: "In this case, I will return to the palace and report to the saint."

"Of course." Shao Shude said with a smile.

After Pei Shu and Zhang Wenwei finished the procedure, they left Shendu Garden.

Shao Shude came to Shangyang Palace and continued to deal with government affairs.

One good news, one bad news.

The good news is that Li Tangbin moved his troops to Lianshui, and the Huai army went out of the city to fight, but they were defeated.Yan Baozhen, the deputy envoy of the Pingsheng Army, beheaded Kang Ru, the general of the Huaihe River, and the bandit army was routed and rushed back to the south bank by boat.In this battle, more than [-] thieves were killed, [-] were captured, and Lianshui recovered.

So far, only Xuyi County on the south bank of Sizhou is still under the control of the Huai army, and most of the whole territory has been restored.

The bad news is that Zhe Zongben and Ding Hui led an army of more than [-] troops, attacked Shuzhou for the second time, intercepted the grain road for the Huai army navy, and returned to Qizhou in defeat.

Fortunately, not much loss.The bandit army took advantage of the victory to go to Qizhou, but finally returned without success.

I heard that Yang Xingmi is mainly sorting out internal affairs recently, taking over power, and paving the way for his son Yang Wo.

His silly son!Shao Shude smiled.

The thousands of soldiers that the father left for his son to protect his life originally lived in the Guangling Yamen City to protect Yang Wo's safety.As a result, he felt that the barracks took up too much space and affected his fun, so he transferred the army away, and then demolished the barracks for him to ride, shoot and play polo.As for the consequence, it is natural that Xu Wen and others had no scruples, launched a mutiny decisively, and imprisoned Yang Wo.

To be heartless to this extent, without any sensitivity, is also a must.

There are many seals on the imperial table.

Zhuge Shangren, the governor of Tongzhou, presented his books and submitted them to the imperial court.

Liu Fang, the governor of Jizhou, surrendered with more than [-] military and civilian households.

Zhuge An, the governor of Bizhou, did not surrender, and was killed by Yang Liang, the envoy of the Golden Sword Army, and Bizhou recovered.

Zhang Qi, the governor of Kaizhou, stood on his own and was killed by his subordinates. Please surrender Kaesong.

Bazhou Governor Zhuge Tai surrendered.

Quzhou descended.

The gate of Pengzhou was closed and no envoys were accepted.

Guozhou voted for Li Maozhen.

Enclave Wen and Fuerzhou are waiting and watching...

Overall things are pretty good.Zhuge Zhongfang should have played a considerable role, saying that many people were demoted.However, judging from the divergent actions of the provincial governors, although he has served as Jiedushi for more than ten or twenty years, his control over the town is still limited.Just like this bird, who gave him the courage to stand on his own?
Shao Shude almost laughed angrily after reading these memorials.

Wu Fu, Wu Fu, virtue!

"Sanchuan Military News, as soon as it is delivered, it will be delivered to my desk immediately without delay." Shao Shude said.

No matter how much you care about matters related to the heir, you can't be too concerned.

In fact, he paid close attention to several older sons.

The eldest son is in Andong Mansion, the second son is in Xingyuan Mansion, and the third son has been appointed as a household secretary in Wendeng County.

The fourth son stayed with him to receive education, while the fifth son and the following children were a little younger and were still receiving education in literature, martial arts, mathematics, and management for the time being.

What Shao Shude said just now was to Pei Tong.

Pei Tong is also an old man, so far he has not arranged any official positions, and he still manages the group of people from the Shuofang shogunate's hearing department, plus Datong Maxing.

Shao Shude is still hesitating whether to establish a spy agency.During the Wu Zhou period, there were a lot of informants and cruel officials, and everyone complained about it.Therefore, the reputation of the secret service agency in the country is considered bad, and the agency of bad people gradually disappeared after the Anshi Rebellion, and it was basically ruined.

After thinking about it, Shao Shude planned to do this secretly.

"People from the Ministry of Listening and Datong Maxing, you should carefully screen them out and select the elite forces to integrate." He said: "In the future, you will directly obey my orders and will not be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Once the application is needed, I will find a way."

"Of course." Pei Tong replied.

In fact, he still wanted to be a court official.Walking in the dark all day is not in line with his temperament.Reluctantly, it seemed that King Xia didn't intend to give him this chance. He had to continue to manage the gang of ghosts and monsters like the Department of Listening and Wangwang and Datong Maxing, and continue to inquire about the military situation.Even, after the founding of the country, it is possible to monitor ministers, which is really...

What evil did the Pei family do to do such a thing.

Has there ever been a good end for being a cruel official and doing dirty work?

But this matter is out of his choice, so he can only bite the bullet and continue until someone takes over—even then, he may not be able to get real relief.

After Pei Tong left, Shao Shude continued to govern.

What he is most concerned about now is actually the attitude of the towns all over the world.The recent series of policies of abolishing feudal vassals and setting up Taoism have all been seen by military leaders.From now on, there will be no feudal towns in this new dynasty.For them, all feudal vassals and towns are "enemy countries" and are not within the territory of the new dynasty.Either die or surrender, there is no third way to go.

If the action is quick, most of the states in Shannan and Xidao should be included in the territory when the new dynasty is founded.

******
On April [-]th, another ten days passed.Under Shao Shude's hint, a large number of people persuaded them to attend the Shuowang Chaohui today.

The next day, Prime Minister Pei Zhi and Hanlin scholar Liu Can came with papers, begging the Grand Tutor to become the Great Treasure.

Shao Shude is receiving Zhe Silun's family who entered the court.

"I haven't been to Gwangju for a few years, is everything still the same?" Shao Shude was more polite to Zhe's family, not only personally received Zhe Silun's family in the mansion, but also casually asked a few children about their studies, and gave rewards.

"The folks in Shen Guangshou's three prefectures are still spreading stories about His Royal Highness's battles." Zhe Silun said: "Especially in the battle of Feishui, Zhu Yanshou was beaten away alone. There are also generals from the army who return to their hometowns to visit their relatives and send His Highness His heroic attitude has spread to every corner."

Shao Shude laughed happily.

Back then, the southern tour was intended to show his face on the southern front battlefield, so that the local generals would only recognize Zheshi and not know Shao.Later, the battle situation changed, so he personally led the Tielin Army to advance eastward, captured Shouzhou, and recruited [-] soldiers from Shenguangshou to form the right wing of the Tielin Army.

Many years have passed, and these soldiers have gradually dispersed among the various ministries of the Forbidden Army.During the rest period, some people went back to their hometown to visit their relatives, and they helped spread Shao Shude's deeds. Over time, the people in the three prefectures of Shen Guangshou still had a good impression of Master Shao.

"The matter of founding a country is intricate." Shao Shude said: "These days, I'm so busy that I don't touch the ground. I'm very pleased that you can enter the court. Zhe and Shao will share wealth and honor."

"Everything of the Zhe family today is due to His Royal Highness." Zhe Silun said: "If there is no His Highness, the Zhe family is still living in that small place in the north of Guanbei, and it has survived being the governor of Linzhou, the land of the three counties. It’s nothing more than an overlord. Now I have enjoyed the taste of being a military governor, and the family’s wealth and wealth are unimaginable before. What can I say? Just follow His Highness.”

"I'm relieved if you think so." Shao Shude said with emotion.

Among the old people, only Zhuge Zhongfang made a fool of himself, and he couldn't think about it, but the others were fine.

Zhe Silun is about to go to Bei Ya as the Deputy Privy Envoy, a senior official of the third rank.Zhuge Zhongfang had no choice but to work under Chen Yishen as a servant of the sixth rank.As for the title, it has to be seen later. At present, Yunyang County is designated, and [-] households are granted food.This is due to the fact that he persuaded some western Daozhou counties in Shannan to surrender, otherwise he would only be a man from a county of [-] households.

A difference in one thought, a difference in circumstances, future generations would rather not learn from it?
"Your Highness, the angel is here." Li Yixian walked in and reported.

"Okay, I'll go out to greet you personally." Shao Shude straightened his robes, apologized to Zhe Silun, and went out.

After a while, the incense table was set up in the courtyard.

Pei Zhi and Liu Can read out the book of abdication in public: "...the great treasure of the husband, the weight of the divine weapon, Tang is not the virtue of filling the universe, contributing to Guizhou and Li, emphasizing the merits of Hua Nalu, highlighting the achievements of Wenming and guiding Sichuan, and allowing Emperor Xi Zai, conquering the heavenly work, how can he rule all nations and shine on the eight poles...Marshal Xia Wang, Longyan Ruizhi, Yuli Qiwen. With the wisdom and wisdom of the martial arts, the Huaxia is caressed by the thick and deep benevolence. Before the end of the future...every chance can't last forever, and the destiny can't be missed for a long time. The god Ye Xin belongs to virtue. I respect the sage who passed on Zen to the world, and retreat to the old fan..."

This is the third volume.

The tone of the first part is very calm, mainly talking about the things of Yao and Shun, the theory of prophecy, about the loss of morality in the Tang Dynasty, and the destiny belongs to the virtuous.

Shao Shude refused on the grounds that he leveled the world and pleaded for life for the common people in the world, and he had no selfish motives.

The tone of the second one was a little more serious.In response to Shao Shude's reasons for refusal, he focused on his achievements and contributions to the world, thinking that only you are suitable to be the emperor for such an unworldly contribution, and the meaning of persuasion is stronger.

Shao Shude also refused, the reason is that there are too many talented people in the world, and there are too many meritorious people, so it is not suitable.

Please note that there are changes in the tone and reasons of the side giving way and refusing, and they are actually following the process.

The third volume came today.This time the tone was more urgent, and he used such urging words as "every opportunity cannot be lost for a long time, and destiny cannot be lost for a long time".

According to the rules, this one still has to be declined.

So, I only heard Shao Shude sigh: "The sages of the Tang Dynasty built the emperor's map, Zhuo Hongye, 280 sacrifices, how can I bear to destroy it? It's not right, it's not right."

This time, although he still declined, his tone has weakened.You can see the reason: as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't bear to destroy the 280-year foundation of the Tang Dynasty—the determination seemed not as firm as before.

Everyone is human, knowing that the next letter is to persuade Taifu to "regardless of trivial matters", make a living for the world, completely abandon his own selfishness, don't care about others' slander, ascend the throne as soon as possible, and benefit the world.

And that time, the Taifu would not refuse, he would complain that everyone trapped him in infidelity, and then "reluctantly" become emperor.

The entire abdication process is now complete.After that, there are all kinds of preparations before the new king takes the throne.

Everything is under control!
