Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1355 Consolation and Arrangement

"Yelü Hedi pays homage to Your Majesty." By the water lake outside Longhua Prefecture, more than a dozen Khitan chieftains headed by Yelu Hedi respectfully bowed to the ground.

Judi has actually surrendered for quite some time.

As Khitan Babu Yili Jin, he is very pitiful.It has only been a few months since he actually took power, and he is still facing the constraints of Yuyue Yelu Shilu, so the real power is pitifully small.After Khan Chen Dejin died of illness and A Baoji came to power, he was completely marginalized, and his influence fell again and again, becoming an insignificant existence.

In this war, Xiadi led a side division all the way, but there were only [-] people, the weapons were scarce, and the personnel were not very good. It is conceivable that nothing can be done.A while ago, Shao Chengjie gave a harsh lesson on the East Road. After the whole army was defeated, they simply surrendered.

"Where all the Khitan people have fled, do you know?" Shao Shude asked casually while sitting on the carpet, drinking tea casually.

He had been silently observing Shao Shude before.Secretly marveling in my heart, a 50-year-old person does not look old and decadent at all. Power is indeed the thing that excites men the most.Shao Sheng covers most of the world, and there are countless elite soldiers and generals under his command, it is the time when he is full of energy.In contrast, he, Shi Lu, Ou Si, Feng Gu Zhi and others should all leave the stage.

"Your Majesty, Shilu and the others have been guarding against the old man. My Ulus went to the Mansion of Hujie, but now I don't know where it is." Xiadi replied.

He really knew very little, as Yi Lijin, it was a shame to do this.

Xiamage brought a group of people to Hujie's Mansion, but that happened many days ago, and he doesn't know where they are now.

"Since someone of you followed Xiamage to Hujie's mansion, try to get in touch. If it doesn't work, you don't need to blame yourself. Abaoji and Shilu's family dog ​​will not be able to make big waves." Shao Shude said.

"Yes." Judy replied.

That's what the sage said, but he couldn't understand it that way. This matter still needs to be taken care of.

Yu Lu saw that Gu had brought some snacks.She has been pregnant for more than four months, and her lower abdomen is more obvious, which is inconvenient. Her daughter Xiao Chonggon took the dishes, knelt on the ground, and placed them one by one in front of Shao Shude.

"Let's sit down and eat something together." Shao Shude stretched out his hand and said to Xia Di.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Yelvhadi sat down cross-legged.

His son Dielite stood behind him, looking at the two women beside Shao Shude with complicated emotions.

I heard that this is the third child that Ao Gu is pregnant with...

What a status Ao Gu is!The grassland herdsman felt blasphemy even if he took a second glance, so when he saw Ao Gu, he knelt down respectfully.

But Lord Xia didn't feel sorry for her at all, and within three years after being taken captive, she was pregnant with three children, like a childbirth tool.

Dielite didn't dare to think too much, and stood beside him silently.

"I heard that Yeluqiusi died in the battle in Beilou, and his sons Helu and Yuzhiguiben. Can you recruit the tribesmen of Tiela?" Shao Shude asked, stroking Xiao Chonggun's face.

The 15-year-old girl approached me obediently, making it more comfortable for the saint to touch.

If there hadn't been a war, she would have married Yelu Yuzhi when she was 13 years old-in fact, the two families had already made a marriage agreement.

Now she is a recreational "item" beside the saint, dancing and entertaining the saint from time to time, serving and tolerant saint from time to time, that's all.

Which is better?She didn't know, in fact she had no choice.

"Your Majesty has won a big victory, and this is the right time to appease you." Xiadi said.

His words were crisp and clear, without any superfluous things, although now he really wanted to know how the sage would arrange the Khitan Eight Divisions, and even more wanted to know his position among them.

"The grassland is the grassland, and the Central Plains is the Central Plains. I will not interfere at will." Shao Shude said.

Hearing this sentence, Xia Di was overjoyed.The sage is indeed a majestic man, knowing that the grassland cannot be ruled directly, so he will not act recklessly.And this, doesn't this give them a chance?

"You can be the emissary of Shanxi to appease the clans scattered everywhere." Shao Shude said: "If someone brings up his clan to surrender, there is no need to doubt it, just let him come to Yingzhou."

"The minister obeys the order." Judizi replied happily.

"Shanxi" should be to the west of the Great Xianbei Mountains, which is the territory of the Mu people and the Ugu people, and most of them are vassals of the eight tribes of Khitan.Since there is a Shanxi appeasement envoy, there should be a Shandong appeasement envoy. The jurisdiction does not care who the other person is. Anyway, he has already benefited, and there is too much room for maneuver here.

"Good job, let's go." After talking about this matter, Shao Shude waved his hand and said.

Yeluhadi father and son left respectfully.

After they left, more than a dozen nobles came to see them one by one.They paid homage to Shao Shude first, and then saluted Yu Lu Jiangu respectfully, saying praises of virtues in their mouths.

Shao Shude talked with them patiently, and after comforting them, he ordered them to lead their troops to the South Tower to assemble and wait for the holy order.

"Your Majesty, although A Baoji has gone far away, he may still come back. The pastures vacated by Babu must be occupied by someone." Yu Lu Jiangu said cautiously.

Shao Shude didn't hit her this time.Maybe it was inappropriate in front of outsiders, or maybe what she said made sense.After thinking for a while, he said, "Chen Shilang."

"The minister is here." Chen Cheng approached.

"Li Yanling didn't accompany you, so you can handle this matter." Shao Shude said: "From Hongyuan, Yulin, Woyang, Xianyou, and Changxia Five Palaces, we will transfer [-] households eastward to Yikun Prefecture, and then from Khitan Select [-] households from the captives of the eight departments and merge them into [-] households. These [-] households are my slave tribes, and they will graze in Yikun Prefecture and build Yong'an Palace. For the lack of people in the six departments, select [-] households of captives Make it up. Don’t choose Xiren and the like, just choose Khitan.”

Khitan vassals like Xi Ren are easy to rule and don't need to be slaves.

"I obey the order." Chen Cheng responded.

"How do you think other arrangements should be made?" Shao Shude asked.

"Your Majesty, the King of Fengsheng County is four years old. He is healthy and intelligent..." Chen Cheng said.

"Fifth Lang is still young, so he can't be a fan." Shao Shude waved his hand and said, "However, it is indeed possible to send someone to take care of the grassland in advance."

The king of Fengsheng County, Shao Zhizhong, and his biological mother, Ashide, were born in August of the fourth year of Jianji and are about to receive an orthodox royal education in Luoyang.However, a part of the Fengsheng County Prince's Mansion has been established, and some more motivated students of classics are willing to go out with the County King.As far as they are concerned, since they are at most small officials in the interior, it is better to go to the grassland to try their luck. It would be good if they can become high-ranking officials such as the master book of the palace, the recorder, and the military.

"The decree is to combine Yuewangcheng and Xilou into Fengshengzhou, and Sima Keyu of the palace will temporarily act as the governor." Shao Shude said.

Ke Yu is the magistrate of Tongding County in Yingzhou. A while ago, he took the initiative to apply for an official position in Fengsheng County Prince's Mansion and was hired.In fact, there are very few competitors, and his fight was ridiculed by many people.But thinking about it carefully, Yingzhou doesn't seem to be doing too well. He changed from a county magistrate to the de facto governor of Jimi Prefecture, which doesn't sound bad.

Yuewang City is located in the area of ​​Halahada Town, Bahrain Zuo Banner, and the West Tower is located nearby. This area of ​​Fengsheng Prefecture is roughly equivalent to the area of ​​Bahrain Zuo Banner and Right Banner.

In fact, there are also people under the jurisdiction of Fengsheng County Prince's Mansion, mainly descended from the Yinshan Tatars, and they are still among the tribes of Yinshan, most of whom are slaves.Before Shao Shude planned to buy them with money and silk, he had counted nearly [-] households, now he didn't plan to pay, and directly sent [-] Khitan descendants to them.

In this way, Liang Hanyong digested most of the people they captured in the North Tower.

"Canonize Shiliu Lang as the King of Pengsheng County, and take Khitan Longhua Prefecture as the state of Pengsheng County. Slowly find people and build the Prince's Mansion of Pengsheng County." Shao Shude said again.

After finishing speaking, I added a sentence in my heart: If his son can be lucky enough to grow up.

Sixteen Lang's name is Shao Jingtong, he is two years old, and his biological mother, Yu Lu, sees his aunt.

The state government of Pangshengzhou is located in the area of ​​Mengjiaduan Village in the northeast of Naiman Banner in later generations, and its geographical scope is roughly the southern boundary of Naiman Banner and Kailu County.

"I obey the order." Chen Cheng replied again.

The sage arranged this way, and he has no objection.The only thing to pay attention to is whether the Khitan people will obey and the supplies needed for personnel exchanges.The latter is not difficult, but the former still needs to be suppressed by the army.But this is what the people below them need to worry about. The sage doesn't care about these, he only gives orders, and the details are handled by the Sixth Department of Shangshu, Lifanyuan, and Beiya Privy Council.

"Your Majesty." Yu Lu saw that Gu's face was flushed, and her winking eyes almost dripped.

She is indeed greedy for profit, and she is not a good person, but she is pregnant with a child born in October, and it is a lie to say that she doesn't care.In particular, she often breastfeeds this child herself and brought it up with one hand, so she has a deeper relationship.

"Okay, my child, of course we have to think about his future." Shao Shude put his arms around Yulu Jiangu, took a look, and liked her a little more. After all, he is not the kind of person who only loves himself. Biological children fight for interests.

"Your Majesty, there are still a few places, how should they be arranged?" Chen Cheng coughed and asked.

Shao Shude patted and asked Yu Lu, who was excited, to go aside. After thinking for a while, he asked, "You mean the Khitan Yazhang, the South Tower, and the North Tower?"

"Exactly." Chen Cheng replied.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Shao Shude asked.

"Treat the Han people with the Han system, and treat the Tibetan people with the Tibetan system. This is the national policy of this dynasty." Chen Cheng said: "Liaoze is vast, and the two counties' palaces are not enough to cover the whole territory. Your Majesty has many heirs, and you may choose one or two adult princes. Just Fan. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be cheap for Yelv Hedi and Gu Guzhi?”

"Did you be entrusted by someone?" Shao Shude suddenly laughed.

Chen Cheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said: "Concubine Zhao loves her son deeply, and she has far-reaching plans for it."

Chen Cheng only said half a sentence, but Shao Shude still understood, his face fell immediately, and he said, "It's ridiculous! Why is she worried?"

Chen Cheng was silent.Concubine Zhao's courtesies and expenses in the harem are no different from those of the empress, isn't it something you made up?

Shao Shude sighed, his complexion was not very good, after thinking quietly for a long time, Fang said: "Promote Khitan Miyun County to protect the holy state."

Miyun County is probably located in the area of ​​Wengniute Banner of the later generations. There are more than 3000 households descended, most of them are from Bohai, and they farm and graze along the river.

In fact, the three prefectures of Fengsheng, Pengsheng, and Husheng are very similar. The annual rainfall is just over [-] millimeters, which is lower than the evaporation.In this climate and environment, if we want to reclaim wasteland, with the technology at this time, it will definitely not last long.The best way is to focus on animal husbandry, supplemented by planting.

"Let's do this first, I still have to think about it." Shao Shude stood up irritably and said.

"Yes." Chen Cheng replied.

He was entrusted, of course not for King Zhao, but for the eighth son Shao Duanfeng.This son was born in May of the fourth year of Qianning (897), and his mother Zhao Guifei is 11 years old this year.

If it weren't for the fact that the eighth prince is intelligent, eager to learn, respects teachers, and happens to have something to do on the grassland, he wouldn't meddle in the affairs of the Tian family.But then again, he did a lot of things to die, not bad for this one or two.

The saint only spoke half of what he said, but he knew that this matter was already in the emperor's heart, and he was unlikely to change it.

On July 23, Shao Shude left Longhua Prefecture, headed east, and went straight to the South Tower.
