Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1412 Meeting and Deployment

On the seventh day of March in the ninth year of Jianji (909), it snowed again outside.

Da Jianzhuan walked around the palace room like a trapped animal.

He is still young, still has great ambitions, he still refuses to accept his fate, and wants to go out...

But the fact is that he was confined in a side hall by the court guards from Luoyang, unable to move an inch.

Three meals a day are brought in, and Xiaohuangmen is cleaned regularly, and the food and clothing are not bad, but they can't leave, and they can't see anyone.

No, in fact, I still meet some people regularly, such as Queen Gao.

At the time of application, Mrs. Gao carried a food box and entered the side hall under the surveillance of Xiaohuangmen.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing her husband's haggard face, Gao couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Rou Niang!" Seeing the Queen coming in, Da Chi Zhuan was excited, but when he saw the two small yellow doors behind Gao Shi, he was a little afraid.

These people, I don't know if they were transferred from the three major departments in Chang'an, they speak in a strange way, and they always frighten people. It seems that they have a lot of experience in abusing the emperor.

"Your Majesty is suffering." Gao wiped away tears, choked up and said, "I made some snacks, which His Majesty likes to eat on weekdays."

Da Chi Zhuan saw the queen taking out plate after plate of exquisite food from the food box, and was moved. He took two steps forward, held Gao's hand, and said: "After I come out, I will live a good life with you. It will not be negative.”

Gao smiled gratifiedly.

She was born in a famous family and is the proud daughter of Bohai. She has been taught by her teacher since she was a child, and is familiar with the precepts of the female sect.

Da Jianzhuan is her husband, she is the Queen of Bohai Sea, she should be from one to the other, and she will be in harmony with each other.

"Rou Niang's craftsmanship is still so good." Da Xuezhuan picked up the pastry and said with a happy smile.

Gao's pretty face flushed slightly.After all, she was still a little girl, and she was overjoyed to be praised by her husband.

After eating one piece, the big man ate another piece.During the period, he took a peek at the middle officials standing at the door and saw that they were a little far away, so he asked in a low voice, "I'm locked up here and don't know anything. What's the situation outside? Are there loyal ministers and righteous men..."

Gao sighed slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, the king of Huaiyuan and the king of Huinong County successively rebelled, and they were all defeated. Tens of thousands of people were demoted to slaves. Uncountable."

"What?" Da Jianzhuan was surprised, happy and angry.

What he is happy about is that if there is an incident, Bohai has been supporting the servants for 200 years, and after all, he is still a loyal minister who has a heart for the Da clan.

To his surprise, it was the clan that led the riot, which made him a little unhappy.Falling into the hands of Xia Ren, according to Shao Shude's style, he may not die.But in the hands of the clan that succeeded in the uprising, his end would be very tragic, and there is a high probability that he will die inexplicably.

Anger is because these people are too poor.It's fine to start a riot, why was it suppressed so quickly?To waste the blood of loyal ministers and righteous men in vain, it is better to wait until you regain your freedom before you start trouble.

As for the tens of thousands of people who were massacred or relocated by the Xia people, he didn't care, and they died as soon as they died. For the restoration of the Dashi and the country, why should they die?
"Your Majesty, keep your voice down." Gao was a little panicked, afraid that her husband's loud words would attract the attention of the middle officials.

Sure enough, the eyes of the two people glanced over.

Da Chi Zhuan's face turned pale, and he immediately shut up.

Gao turned her head and smiled, and said: "I disturbed the two palace guards. My husband loves jujube cakes the most. Please don't take it for granted."

The two middle officials nodded and said, "Let's go quickly after eating, and we have to cut the leather later."

"Understood." Gao Shi nodded and responded.

"Rou Niang, you're pretty good at acting." Da Chien Zhuan's face brightened, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and forced a smile.

Gao's face turned red again.

The education she had received since she was a child did not allow her to lie, so there was no other way.

"You still have to do menial work now?" asked the elder brother.

Mrs. Gao nodded, and said: "All the female family members in the royal palace are not in the Yeting court, doing laundry, cooking, feeding horses, and doing some chores."

"Do you want to do these too?" asked Da Kao Zhuan.

"En." Gao nodded, seeing that the elder brother had a bad face, and persuaded: "Husband, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. It's nothing to do these things. In the court, most of them are criminal officials and criminal wives." Women, some of them have been working as handymen for more than ten years, and they worked in the palace before the Lord Xia took the throne. The concubines are used to it, and they have a few sisters who are good friends. Working in Yeting is better than... That's good."

Da Chi Zhuan's face turned pale, he nodded, and said, "Be careful, and come to see me regularly. If so... I would rather die than submit."

Seeing the serious expression on Da Chi Zhuan's face, Gao's heart trembled, and he said in a low voice, "I obey the order."

"Okay, why are you dawdling like that?" The two middle officials urged impatiently at the door.

"The sage is merciful, allowing you and your husband to meet, why is it endless?" Another person also urged.

"If you can see your family, find a way to contact other big clans." Seeing that he couldn't go on any longer, he said long and short: "Shao thief will not stay in Shangjing for a long time. After he leaves, it will be a good opportunity to raise troops, remember, remember."

Gao Shi nodded imperceptibly, got up and left.

******
After returning to Yeting, there are countless jobs.

Washing rice, washing vegetables, cooking, laundry, etc. Gao's body is delicate and expensive, when did he do such rough work?Even though it has been several months, it is still difficult to adapt. When there is no one around, I even hide and cry.

"Rou Niang, Li Nu, bring a basket of charcoal and follow me to Liangyi Hall." Su Shi, one of the Shang Palaces, came over and said.

"Yes." The two replied in unison, and then each took a dustpan to load charcoal.

Su waited for a while, and seeing that the two were almost pretending, she ordered the two to follow.

The Hall of Liangyi is the place where the sage works daily. He often summons his courtiers here, and many important decisions are made here.Gao Shi struggled to carry the dustpan, and ran quickly in small steps, followed behind Su Shi, and pricked up his ears when he got close to the Hall of Liangyi.

Lord Xia was indeed summoning his courtiers, one old and one young.The old one, Mrs. Gao, knew Chen Cheng, the servant of Daxia Zhongshu, but the younger one didn't know, maybe he was the new assistant official of Zhongshu and Shangshu.

"What Lu Qing said is exactly what I want." Shao Shude sat on the dragon chair that used to be written by Da Xue, and said, "I am already mobilizing troops, and it is necessary to station troops on the Bohai Sea. In a few years, the thieves are It can't be killed."

The various ministries of the Great Xia Forbidden Army started a new round of rotation.

The Jinglue army entered Shu to guard the Longjian Zhuzhou and Chengdu, and the replaced Longxiang army returned to Puzhou to rest.

The three armies of Tujiang, Yicong, and Tieqi were transferred eastward and stationed in various places in Liaodong Province. While suppressing the rebellion, they began to organize households and organize the people, focusing on the investigation of the hidden population of the Mohe tribe and aristocratic families.

Wei Shengjun stayed for one year.The department originally had a force of over 7000 people. Last year, more than [-] people who were more capable of fighting were transferred to join the Youguo Army and various departments of the Imperial Army. Now there are more than [-] people left to stay in Lezhou.

The Guannei and Zhili Erdaozhou soldiers who were originally guarding Hedong returned to rest, and continued to send 2 troops from Henan and Guanbei Erdaozhou to settle in Hedong.

The Baoning army went south to Jiangxi, and Li Siyuan led the Tiancheng army back to Hedong to rest.

Commander Liu Chongba of the Jiannan Daozhou Army was transferred to Hongzhou and served as the commander of Jiangxi Daodu——Liu Chongba was originally a Bian general who surrendered in Jiugou Town, and later served as the coach of the Yunzhou Academy and the coach of the Weizhou Academy The envoy, after gaining trust, just went to Shuzhong to take up his post.

Take Guozijian Xiao Fu as the governor of Jiangxi Province.

Weng Chengzan, deputy envoy of Zhili Province, was appointed as the envoy of Jiangxi Province.

Shi Yanci, the governor of Songzhou, was the prison envoy of Jiangxi Province.

Take Wang Shifan as Jiangxi Dao Xuezheng.

After Wang Shifan surrendered, he has been living in Chang'an, reciting poems and composing Fu.This time the official came down from the sky, I wanted to resign, but I saw that I was studying politics and dealing with scholars, so I gladly took up the post.

This appointment was the result of Shao Shude's arbitrariness.

If you want to say whether Wang Shifan has united front value, there is not much in fact.But Shao Shude no longer hated his little essay back then, after so many years of idleness, all anger disappeared.I want to let the world see that people who have arranged for me can also become officials. Ma Yin, you fight with your troops, it doesn't matter, it is not too late to surrender at this time.Wang Shifan is studying politics next door to you. If you are worried, you can write a letter and learn from it.

He also took Shao Lun, the governor of Chenzhou, as the commander of Hedong Daodu, and began to try to form a state army with a total of [-] troops.

Shi Junli, the former envoy of the Yellow-headed Army of Wansheng, was appointed as the Deputy Commander of the Jiannan Road Capital—the Commander was temporarily vacant, and the Deputy Envoy was in charge of the state soldiers.

After some adjustments, the next step is to digest. This is Shao Shude's consistent style. If the disciples of the Son of Heaven are not enough Jinshi, they use Kansai classics students. If there are not enough classics students, the number of classics students in Henan and Zhili has also increased. These people can also be trusted now, and there are plenty of backup officials.

"Your Majesty, we still have to suppress and appease." Chen Cheng suggested: "The Dachao has no rules and perverse methods, and has killed many Bohai families. Among the various clans, the Wu clan is the main one. Your Majesty might as well promote more Wu clan members as officials. It may have a miraculous effect. On the other hand, Gao Shanben, Minister of Rites of Bohai, came to visit yesterday, and he was quite eager to convey his sincerity. The Gao clan was originally a descendant of the royal family of Goguryeo, and it was also a big clan in Bohai. If Mrs. Gao can sincerely surrender, then the matter of Bohai will be settled."

Gao Shi, who was adding fuel to the fireplace, trembled.

Gao Shanben is her father, Minister of Rites of Bohai.If he surrenders, is there any hope for Bohai?
Shao Shude smiled when he heard the words, and said: "If Mrs. Gao doesn't know what's interesting anymore, I will move them. We will be the first to take the knife against Mrs. Gao. Now I take the initiative to surrender, but I am quite hesitant. No, no, The Gao family can't be so cheap, let them spit out their hidden mouths, and then go to various places to comfort people's hearts. Only in this way can the past be ignored. If they don't agree, they have to taste the iron fist."

"Your Majesty is wise." Chen Cheng said.

Gao's mood was complicated, and his movements involuntarily slowed down.

Su Shi glared at her.Gao quickly sped up his movements, his face was covered with soot, he wanted to cough but didn't dare to cough, his face turned red.

"I've sent [-] elite soldiers here, so I can think highly of them." Shao Shude said again: "The Mohe tribe, the Bohai family, Yelu Abaoji and even the Korean people have a lot of things to do this year. Who should I entrust to them?"

Chen Cheng remained silent, Lu Henian was not qualified to speak, and the court fell silent for a while.

"Let's go." Beside the fireplace, Su said something in a low voice, and left with the two of them.

After returning to Yeting, the three of them had black stains on their hands, faces and clothes.

Gao Shi looked at his honor and was about to cry.

Su Shi glanced at her and sighed; "It's a good day for you today. Wash your clothes first, and then follow me to take a bath."

"Thank Su Shanggong." Gao said gratefully.

Su Shi nodded and left.
