Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 859 Hate!
The first snow fell, and the ground was silvery white.

Dark clouds moved over the forest, sometimes blocking the sun and casting large mottled and melancholy shadows on the snow.

The saint sighed, he didn't want to leave the palace gate, he was so lifeless, he couldn't feel the slightest taste of freedom.

There are rabbit footprints in the snow, but the saint has given up hunting.He sat quietly under the pavilion, obviously surrounded by people, but felt very lonely.

The female officials and concubines were playing in the snow, talking and laughing, as if they had no worries and carefree.

These ignorant women!

The saint snorted coldly, if the Shao thief enters the palace, you will all be humiliated, will you still be able to laugh at that time?
He suddenly thought of Pei Shi.He finally knew that it turned out that Pei Zhenyi was not dead, but was captured by Ximen Zhongsui, and then kidnapped by Shao thief.

Pei Zhenyi is loyal, the saint knows it well.After being taken away by Shao thief, he must have tried to commit suicide, but was stopped by Shao thief.Later, she became pregnant due to adultery, and gave birth to two children successively, most of which are still in tears.

Shao thief!

The saint roared angrily in his heart, he tried every means to get rid of the thief, but Shao thief didn't give him a chance.

If shady means fail, then we can only hope that the Shao bandits will be defeated.

Back then, Li Shidao was in the Twelve Prefectures of Ziqing, which is now the territory where the three towns of Ziqing, Tianping, and Taining are united. There are more than [-] soldiers and horses under his tent. ?
Of course, the sage also hoped that Shao Shude would be wiped out by the coalition forces of the towns.In order to vent his only hatred, he decided to bring Shao Shude's wife, Zheshi, into the harem, just like Xianzong put Li Shidao's wife, Weishi, into the entourage, playing around wantonly, so as to relieve his anger.

It's a pity that Zhu Quanzhong was defeated and fled to Weibo, which made the saint feel extremely uncomfortable.

Although I have long heard that Liang Jun is not fighting well and keeps losing troops and land, I never thought that, but in seven or eight years, even Bianzhou was lost, and the defeat was extremely complete.

Not as good as Huaixi Town!They were able to separate the regime for 41 years, during which they withstood repeated sieges by the Shence Army and various soldiers and horses, but the Xuanwu Army could only persist for seven or eight years, a bunch of waste!
Even the two towns of Yun and Yan are not as good.Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin were able to rely on prefectural and county soldiers and Tutuan villagers to persist for several years after the elite main force was wiped out. Will, I don't know how much stronger than the Xuanwu Army.

waste!

The saint suddenly got up, planning to go back to the palace for entertainment.

"Crack!" Ten Army Envoy Han Quanhui came over, put a copy of the letter on the stone table, and said, "Sage, take a look at it quickly, I have to take it to use the seal later."

The sage picked up the letter suspiciously, and read it carefully: "Accrediting Xia Wang Shude Xuanwu Army Jiedu Envoy System."

Immediately short of breath, anger welled up.

Recently, the imperial court received a series of petitions, all the towns' Jiedu envoys express their congratulations to Quan Zhong for destroying the rebels, and at the same time recommend Xia Wang Shao Shude to concurrently serve as the Xuanwu Army's Jiedu envoy.The sage was already on fire, but he couldn't hold back his thighs, so he could only pinch his nose and say something against his will, but it didn't represent his true inner thoughts.

At this time, seeing this book that was about to be sent to the prime ministers, it was as disgusting as eating a fly, and his face became ugly.Especially what was written above made him want to spit out the overnight meal.

"The king divides the duties and sets up officials, so he manages the world. Outside Jianzhou, Muhou Bo, and internal officials, there are no virtuous people in the hometown, and there is no government in the court... Bian Song Ao District, there are many people who are loyal and simple, the vulgar is righteous and brave, and the number of lands is controlled Thousands, with one hundred thousand armors, if it is not powerful and capable of suppressing things, but brave enough to be a true teacher, how can you prepare the minions of the emperor and build the flags and drums of the general... All roads and battalions command all armies, soldiers, horses, etc., Shuofang Jiedu observes Disposal and other envoys and Kaifu Yitong Sansi, inspector Taifu and Shangzhuguo, Xia Wang Shiyi with [-] households Shao Shude, when you are talented, you should learn from the ancients, so that you will not bully the market and worry about the country Every time you forget your home... you can check the school's official orders, envoys to hold the military affairs of Bianzhou and the governor of Bianzhou, and serve as envoys for the inspection and disposal of the Xuanwu Army.

"Officials, are you optimistic?" Han Quanhui asked slowly.

The sage was silent for a long time, and Fang said: "This system will be distributed to the Nanya. I am tired, and I will go back to the palace."

After all, let's go first.

Han Quanhui sneered, hummed a ditty and left.

No matter how great a saint is, can he still surpass a middle official?joke!Just let the sage take a look at it, and it's up to him whether it's accurate or not.

That's all, hurry up and go to the Nan Ya, things can't be delayed.

Han Quanhui left on this side, and the saint on the other side returned to Daming Palace with the female officials and concubines.

It is true that the court must be watched.But after so many years, it is impossible for all of them to be middle officials.The saint is also working hard, trying to find a way to develop some of his own cronies.

The sage sat in front of the imperial case, writing non-stop, obviously very emotional.

"Officials..." Shu Concubine He stood aside and rubbed ink, her face paled with fright, and goosebumps arose.

"I use Quanjiao, Jishu, and Shude as the conspiracy of the outside and inside, and I will fight against Shuangque. I am in danger and everything has to be done. Now I am giving a secret edict to tell the Qing to entangle the towns and cut off the trees together. Virtue. Investigate and know that inside and outside the palace, most of them are bandits. Although there are edicts, they cannot be restored. The feudal princes, or believe in false edicts. , Taizong 300 years of Deze, but Shuofang thief party? You should urgently sue Yun, Yan, Zhen, Wei, Cang, Qing, and join the army of King Qin. Our soldiers try their best to be poor, endangering the Zongshe, Linxuan looking east, and spilling blood Sue Qing.”——This is for Li Ke, the Jiedu envoy of Hedong.

"I entrust my body to others. The emperor is not blessed, and it is difficult for the bandits to prosper. There is no Huanwen outside, and there is no prosperity inside. Every time I think about it, I have a thorn in my arms. You are loyal and righteous throughout the day, and sincerely promise the country. Xichuan does not Ning, a command has been decided. Purify the Central Plains and rebuild our country, and I hope to be with you.” ————This is for Li Maozhen, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu in Jiannan.

"I've been through so much trouble, I'm so impermanent, I'm always worried, I can't protect myself, let alone protect the affairs of the world. To protect my vassal, I hope to be in Qing." ——This is for Yang Xingmi, the governor of Huainan and Xuanshe.

Concubine Shu He almost went limp.

"Send someone to find an opportunity to send it out." The saint said with a grim face.

In Jingzhao counties, people come and go from the imperial palace every ten days.In a few days, Chang'an and Wannian counties will send [-] carts of winter vegetables to the palace, and there are many idlers waiting, so it is not difficult to find an opportunity to send them out.Moreover, Chang'an Palace has been destroyed many times, there is not even a palace wall, and the saint can even see the wild land in the distance.

There are still loyal ministers in the court, this is the last chance.

Zhu Quanzhong's Bianliang forces have already perished. If you don't want to cheer up again, it will be over when the Eastern soldiers enter Beijing and the emperor is abolished and the emperor is killed.

Concubine Shu He said with tears: "Officials, King Xia is not cruel, he can't do such things as killing the king, why bother?"

"Shut up!" The sage said angrily, "Hurry up and deal with it, and if it's done, I'll make you a queen."

He Shi was still crying.She is really afraid, afraid of being killed!

As a woman, being afraid of death is nothing to be ashamed of.Have a good day, but why bother?

"Whether you succeed or not, I will make you a queen after a while." The saint changed his face and said seductively.

He wiped away tears.She was a little moved, Guochao hadn't had a queen for many years.

After Youyou sighed, she took advantage of the material of the winter clothes and went to the palace official Yang Kezheng.

Seeing that Concubine Shu had left, the sage felt a little sad.After calming down, he went to find Zhaoyi and Li Jianrong.He needs the comfort of a woman now, otherwise his thoughts will not be clear.

******
A major event happened in Chang'an City recently: Grand Master Xiao Yu died of illness.

He himself was not in good health, and this winter was surprisingly cold, so he didn't survive and died on the couch.

Xiao Fu hurried to the capital, and was ordered by Shao Shude to discuss government arrangements with Xiao Yun, Feng Yanqing and others.

"His Royal Highness wishes, Feng Gong can be the Grand Master and control the overall situation of the government." Xiao Fu said.

Feng Yanqing pretended to be calm when he heard the words, but the look on his face had already betrayed him deeply, this guy is an official fan.

"Your Highness loves you wrongly, this old man really... really..." Feng Yanqing sighed, and said, "I have no choice but to do what I can to support this mess."

Xiao Fu and Xiao Yun looked at each other and smiled, as expected of you!

"Who will take over the post of Minister of Rites?" Feng Yanqing asked.

Judging from what the old man meant, it seemed that he wanted to recommend someone of his own.

Xiao Fu coughed, and said, "I'd like Duke Feng to know, Your Highness prefers the Master of the Palace, Duke Pei, to take up this position."

"It turned out to be this guy!" Feng Yanqing said without hesitation.

Xiao Fu and Xiao Yun pretended not to hear.

The Pei family has a deep foundation in the river, and recommended many talents for the King of Xia, building water conservancy, persuading farming and mulberry, and losing to the army, and managing local affairs in an orderly manner.With this ability and resources, is it strange to come to the court to do great things?

At the same time, he sighed.Although Mrs. Pei of Hedong County has no status, she gave birth to a son and a daughter successively.On the other hand, in the Xiao family, Dai Niang's appearance, figure, and talent are not the best in the palace, but she is definitely one of the best, and she has the title of concubine Wang, but because they have not given birth to children, the Xiao family is very passive.

Prince Xia has quite a few daughters. Could it be that Dai Niang has a hidden disease?Both of them started to think wildly.

When Xiao Fu came to Beijing this time, he had originally accepted the task of inviting medical officers from the Imperial Medical Office to travel eastward.He thought about it, should he take care of it in private and let the imperial doctor take a look?
However, the imperial physicians have to go to Bianzhou first to help Concubine Liang Zhang Hui recuperate her body, so they can only talk about it after they finish their work.

"Feng Gong, the King of Xia has newly won the Bian Song states, so it's time to send a group of talented people to go east? Do you have a list?" Xiao Yun asked suddenly.

King Xia didn't care much about other positions, and left it to the sage to appoint him, but he always held the Minister of Rites in his hands. The biggest reason was that the scientific examination was under the control of the Ministry of Rites.

The national imperial examinations are held every year.Over the years, the Ministry of Rites has gradually increased the number of Jinshi admissions to one hundred according to King Xia's wishes.At the same time, vigorously increase the number of admissions of miscellaneous subjects such as Ming Suan, confer official positions, and gradually promote them, so that scholars who study these see hope. The popularity of these miscellaneous subjects has increased, and more people are studying.

Even if students of Mingshu could pass the exam, they would still be low-level officials for the rest of their lives, but what if someone told you that you could break through this shackles and become a high-ranking official?
It is indeed reliable to use official position and future to lure and guide.

"Of course there are." Feng Yanqing said with some regret.

The old man is too greedy, he has become a grand teacher, and he never forgets the Minister of Rites.When he thought that the Pei family could use this position to cultivate party members in the future, he felt very heartbroken.

"The bureaucrats of Zhuji County have been working for several years and have accumulated some experience. They can go to Bian Song to work for His Highness." Feng Yanqing said: "Tomorrow I will draw up a list."

"Good." Xiao Fu and Xiao Yun said together.
