Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1216 Funing
"Here we come! We come!" A Taichang official trotted over, out of breath.

"Play "The Music of Taihe"." Taichangqing Guo Fu personally ordered.

Soon, drums and music rang out in the wilderness, and everyone stood in silence, waiting silently.

It is a pity that the compilation of Xinchao Gagaku has not yet been completed.

The job is not easy.From the pre-Tang period to the period of Taizong Li Shimin, it took more than ten years to set the tone one after another, and then compile the score as the main music of the Tang Dynasty.Before that, all the former Sui Yale were used.

In the New Dynasty of Great Xia, it was actually the same. Tang music was played at this time.

The first ones to arrive were the palace guards wearing helmets and armor. After they arrived, they first took over the post box guarded by Gongchen soldiers, and then carefully inspected and drove out all irrelevant people.

Then came the majestic silver saddle sergeant and guard of honor.

Wei Xun, the new governor of Dezhou, looked up into the distance, quietly appreciating the power of the emperor.

In fact, he had seen King Le'an go on a tour.But for some reason, perhaps due to psychological factors, he always felt that the King of Le'an's chariot was not as powerful as Da Xia Zi, even though the guards of honor of the two were similar.

Think about it carefully, maybe the reason lies in many details.

The guard of Le'an County King, at first glance, looks good, but after standing for a long time, he becomes impatient and has a philistine look on his face.
The accompanying officer didn't have much respect for the king of Le'an County, and he didn't investigate or correct the faults of the guards, palace guards, and guards in the system, which was very casual.If you lose face, you will lose face. Isn't the emperor's son not enough to lose face in front of us?
Finally, there is the environmental impact.

It is difficult for people to exist independently of society, and they have always been subtly influenced by the social environment, which is the so-called group consciousness or consensus.

How many people would respect the situation of King Le'an?Local vassal commanders and officials in the DPRK and China all have their own judgments on the situation in the world.King Le'an put on a lot of ostentation, and maybe he even annoyed everyone.

Therefore, in Wei Xun's eyes, the guard of honor with the same regulations has two feelings, which is actually quite normal.

After an unknown amount of time, an elegant carriage stopped.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Seeing the saint got off the carriage, everyone saluted.

"Everyone get up." Shao Shude said with his hands up.

Following Shao Shude out of the car were Chong Rong Wei, palace official Xie and several female historians.

Mrs. Xie was holding a box in his hand, and inside the box was the nuclear button—no, it was the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

Wei Shi followed behind Shao Sheng step by step, holding his little hand tightly.She is only 23 years old this year, and she is very excited when facing such an occasion for the first time.

Wei Xun looked away as soon as he touched his sister, thinking in his heart that a saint is really particular, and he will bring his concubine to any occasion.Bringing my sister here this time is really giving the Wei family face.

It's a pity that my younger sister has served the saint for ten years, and she hasn't given birth to a son and a half.What a pity, what a pity!

"The dark cloud mountain is about to slant, and the Post Pavilion got off the horse to face the remaining flowers. Since I went to conquer the West Mansion, I am not at home every time when flowers come." Looking at the gradually blurred writing on the stone tablet outside the pavilion, Shao Shude said with a smile: "Like Mr. Zhang A free and easy person is still unable to escape the prison of the secular world. In fact, the world is the same. Wei Qing, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Wei Xun replied.

Wei Xun is the son of Wei Zhaodu, who was transferred from Guanzhong to Dezhou as the governor.

Along with him, officials from Guannei, Guanbei, Longyou, and Hexi provinces or students from the prefectural schools—Daxia had just conquered a lot of territory in Hebei, so it was natural to appoint officials.

Wei Xun is the governor of Dezhou, Feng Shunqing is the governor of Jingzhou, and Xiao Chuqian is the governor of Cangzhou. These are the three main officials who are also present today.

"Feng Qing..." Shao Shude walked in front of Feng Shunqing, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything, and finally he could only sigh: "I know you are hot-tempered, but after stabbing Jingzhou, don't be frivolous."

Feng Shunqing is Feng Yanqing's elder brother.

People in the Feng family seem to have longevity genes. Feng Shunqing, who is over [-] years old, is still hale and hearty.

He has a humorous personality, is proud of his talents, even a little frivolous, and loves to tease people, so his official career is not smooth.This time, if Feng Yanqing hadn't put on his old face to plead, Feng Shunqing would not be able to come to Jingzhou, even if it was just a position of governor.

As for why Feng Yanqing was trying so hard to waste the affection between the monarch and his ministers, he wanted to ask for the position of governor of Jingzhou for his elder brother. The reason is very simple. Although their family has moved to Hezhong for many years, their ancestral home is Jingzhou after all, and there are also members of the Feng clan in the local area. , If you don’t ask for it here, ask for it——Feng’s ancestral home is Yi County, which originally belonged to Jingzhou, then Jizhou, and is now controlled by Xia Jun.

"Your Majesty." Feng Shunqing was a little ashamed. She didn't expect her reputation to be known even to a sage, so she could only reply: "I must do my best to serve as an official and benefit everyone."

"Not only that, the Feng family is also a big family in Hebei, and the relationship that was broken in the past has been picked up again. I am waiting for your good news." Shao Shude said.

"I obey the order." Feng Shunqing said immediately.

At the same time, he secretly warned himself that the position of governor of Jingzhou was not easy to come by.From now on, you must do a good job in quitting alcohol and sex. Well, when an old man who is over seventy years old says he wants to quit sex, he has to say that the world is so big, there are all kinds of surprises, and I admire it.

"Xiao Qing..." Shao Shude stopped in front of Xiao Chuqian, and said: "Cangzhou is the first of the three Cangjingde prefectures, I will entrust it to you, don't let me down."

Cangzhou is the capital of the Henghai Navy, and it is close to Youzhou. The situation is very complicated. It is not easy to be the governor of Cangzhou.

Shao Shude thought over and over again, and felt that it would be best to appoint a person who is both civil and military and whom he can trust to be the governor.

After much deliberation, he ordered Xiao Chuqian to guard this place for him.

This gentleman is the eldest son of Guozijian Xiao Fu. He used to be a county magistrate in Henan, and was later transferred to Longyou. face saint.

Judging from Xiao Chuqian's resume, civil and military positions are mixed, but this is actually quite normal for the family.

Compared with small households, their educational resources are too strong.With the support of abundant financial resources, he studied both civil and military affairs.And Xiao Chuqian is very talented, he has achieved success in writing, martial arts, and military strategy. He also made his fortune in the army at first, and then became an official as a martial artist and became the county magistrate.After that, he continued to serve in Longyou and Guannei, and was gradually promoted. He had done both civil and military positions, and his political achievements were also good.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of Cangzhou well." Xiao Chuqian replied calmly.

Shao Shude nodded, and said again: "I heard that the Xiao family still has a lot of leftover talents living in the countryside, Xiao Qing might as well recruit more of them. It's not a problem to avoid the world all the time."

"Abiding by the order." Xiao Chuqian replied.

He knows what a saint means.A family like Xiao's has many branches and many descendants, not everyone is willing to work for Shao Sheng.Everyone has their own ambitions, there is no way.What the sage means is probably to recruit as much as possible, not only the members of the Xiao clan, but also other people who have received their favor.

For example, Xiao Lin once served as an official under Wang Rong, and Wang Rong valued him very much and trusted him very much.After the king of Le'an County ascended the throne, he was conscripted to enter the court, but Xiao Lin refused.

This kind of valuable Xiao clansman is the goal of the saint.

"Cangzhou is at Chuping, and the people are terrified. Please pay more attention." After Shao Shude finished his instructions, he waved his hand and let a group of elderly gentry from various counties in Dezhou come over.

"Meet Your Majesty." Everyone said in a mess.

Shao Shude looked at these people carefully.

As the first batch of local tyrants who stood up to show their respect after the war, Shao Shude was very curious about who they were.

According to the information provided by the hearing department, they are basically small local tyrants with some fields in the countryside.But the amount of land seems to be small, which is far worse than that in Guanzhong and Jiangnan in the early years.This has a lot to do with the political ecology of Hebei. It is difficult for big landowners to grow up. After all, if you want to grow big, you have to annex the land. Give you another chance. Think carefully about who you want to annex land?
"The land I laid down has no reason to spit it out. Occasionally, it changed hands, and it was finally recaptured." Amid the anxiety of everyone, Shao Shude finally spoke, only to hear him say: "Dezhou, don't you Thinking about changing."

"How dare! How dare!"

"Since Dezhou is the king's land, we will be singing and dancing, and we will be overjoyed."

"In the old days when Lu Yanwei ruled Dezhou, alas, the people were in dire straits, and everyone suffered greatly from it. Now that the sage is making a tour of the north, we will be able to escape the sea of ​​suffering."

"Exactly! Lu Yanwei is cruel and ruthless, and Wang Qixian is a tiger's minion, which made us suffer."

Shao Shude listened with a smile.

These gentry and elders are Lu Yanwei's minions.Provide him with children who practice martial arts, and cultivate civil servants for him.Looking at the eight generations of their ancestors, the cliffs are all from Henghai warriors, and they are intertwined in the town, and I don't know how many benefits they have reaped.

Now that Lu Yanwei has fallen, everyone is eager to get rid of the relationship, is it ridiculous?

But he didn't bother to delve into these things.Just pretend to be confused, don't be too serious.

These people have already expressed their submission, and are willing to donate their merits, and even cut their flesh to give up some benefits, that's enough.

To govern Hebei, we cannot blindly rely on the military to suppress it. The local village sages can unite the front if they can.Those who cannot unite the front, have a stubborn attitude, and still miss the benefits of the separatist regime in the past, will suppress with iron blood, no matter what.

"Okay." Shao Shude stretched out his hand, stopped the words of a group of squires, and said: "After returning, everyone will settle down and make a living. I won't turn over old accounts, so don't worry about it."

"Your Majesty is holy." Everyone shouted sincerely.

They actually inquired.When Shao Sheng entered Bianzhou, he stabilized the situation in Henan in a short period of time by saying "don't turn over old accounts".Then he took over Zhu Quanzhong's bureaucratic system in its entirety and digested his army, making the Great Xia Imperial Army disdain the north and south, sweeping all towns.

Now that Shengjia is on his northern tour, he also proposed "not to turn over old accounts", which means that they will not be held accountable for helping Lu Yanwei and fighting against Xia Jun in the past.You know, many people brought the children of the family who were skilled in horse bows and horses, and followed Lu Yanwei to plunder Dizhou, Bozhou and other places several times, with countless dark histories.

After Shao Shude received everyone, he entered Dezhou City.

Wei Xun took a few steps behind, stopped in front of a group of squires, and said in a low voice: "Don't hurry up and donate goods, food, women, and warriors? The sage says he won't settle the old score, so wait and show it." None?"

"Your envoy is just joking." One person stepped forward and said, "It has been prepared a long time ago. If the sage doesn't accept it, I won't be at ease."

This is not a lie.If the money, food, beauties, and warriors donated are not accepted, those who are suspicious will take risks after returning.

"You're really tricky to wait." Wei Xun smiled and felt relieved.Then he quickened his pace, followed the saint, and introduced him to the current situation in Texas in detail.
