When Yu Shinan saw the jade album, it was like seeing a treasure. He stared at the jade album with his eyes and grabbed the brush with his hand.
Long Chen immediately brought some paper and an inkstone and personally studied the ink for Yu Shinan.
"This is the ghost country's writing from a thousand years ago."
Yu Shinan read and copied at the same time, and quickly completed the copying of the ghost texts in the two volumes of jade volumes.
After carefully collecting the jade album, Yu Shinan looked at the ghost writing on the paper and said: "In the past, the world was chaotic and there were many small countries. There was a ghost country to the east and north of Yanmen Pass. It was very powerful at the time, but gradually declined. This kind of writing was popular in the ghost country.
and surrounding countries.”
It seems that Yu Shinan can indeed decipher this kind of ghost writing.
"I remember...Martial Saint seems to be from the Ghost Country too."
Long Chen remembered which classic he had read this record from, saying that Wu Sheng was from the Ghost Country.
Yu Shinan nodded and said: "Yes, there are relevant records, but they are fragmentary and cannot be trusted."
"These two jade volumes, one seems to record the history of the ghost country, and the other contains the exercises..."
Hearing that the jade book records history, Long Chen's heart skipped a beat.
The history books of the Ghost Country are of no use, and they are not archeology.
Later, he said that there was another volume recording the exercises, and Long Chen felt relieved.
"Master Yu, can you decipher it?"
Long Chen wanted to know if Yu Shinan was sure, because it didn't matter if he read the history wrong, as long as he knew the general context.
But if the second volume of exercises is deciphered incorrectly, the consequences of practice will be serious.
Yu Shinan was full of confidence and said: "Don't worry, King Wu, I only need a few days to decipher it."
Long Chen was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Lord Yu, I will keep you safe."
Yu Shinan said: "King Wu has many things to do every day. You can go back to his house and wait. Once I decipher it, I will inform King Wu immediately."
Yu Shinan thought that Long Chen couldn't trust him, and felt a little unhappy.
Poetry is indeed incomparable, but when it comes to ancient writing, I am the best expert.
This is the only bit of pride Yu Shinan has left.
Long Chen explained: "Deciphering ghost texts is the biggest thing. When I go back, I just greet people and send them off. They are all congratulatory people."
"Moreover, these two jade volumes are the stuff of ghosts. They are hidden in secret places. It is no small matter."
"I'm guarding Mr. Yu to prevent the ghosts from raiding and snatching you. That guy is extremely powerful. I'm afraid no one can keep you safe except me."
Long Chen's expression became solemn, and Yu Shinan was frightened.
There was no need for Long Chen to threaten him, and Yu Shinan didn't doubt it.
"Thank you so much, King Wu."
After saying that, Yu Shinan immediately started to decipher the ghost text.
Long Chen got up, sealed the library, and sent someone to call Feng He over.
Soon, people from Xichang moved into Hongwen Hall, and the library was completely monitored.
...
Prince Wu's Mansion.
Brothers Qi Wenhai and Guan Yue carried their things and followed Wu Wenjing, the Minister of Punishment, to the gate.
Su Yourong was greeting the congratulatory officials.
Long Chen was named the Mighty King of Heaven, with eight dragon gold medals hanging around his waist and a dragon robe. How was this different from an emperor?
The ministers in the court are all guessing that Long Chen should be the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty in the future.
As the future prince, ministers naturally want to fawn over him and give him gifts.
Qi Wenhai had a personal relationship with Long Chen, so Wu Wenjing, the Minister of Punishment, took him to lead the way to deliver gifts.
"aunt."
Qi Wenhai saw Su Yourong and greeted him warmly.
Seeing Qi Wenhai, Su Yourong smiled and said, "Qi Baotou is here, please sit inside."
"Wu Shangshu is also here. Unfortunately, your Excellency is not here today."
Wu Wenjing was a little embarrassed. Su Yourong asked Qi Wenhai to come in and sit down, but he said that Long Chen was not here.
His subordinates can enter, but he is turned away. This is what the minister is responsible for.
Su Yourong smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, Mr. Wu. I'm really not here. My lord went out early this morning. You can see that the other lords have gone back."
"Qi Captou has some friendship with my family, and there are some acquaintances of Qi Captou among them, so I let him come in and sit down."
Wu Wenjing smiled awkwardly: "Auntie misunderstood, King Wu is not here, I will come back another day, this thing..."
Su Yourong smiled and said, "I collected the things for you, sir."
It's fine to just accept the gift, but I'm afraid that no one will see it, so I won't accept the gift.
"You go in and sit down, I'll go back to the Yamen first."
Wu Wenjing smiled and patted Qi Wenhai. Qi Wenhai also felt a little embarrassed and said, "Then... my subordinate will be here soon."
Wu Wenjing said: "No, please talk to King Wu more."
After saying that, Wu Wenjing left on horseback, and Qi Wenhai entered Prince Wu's Mansion.
There were many congratulatory officials at the door, but they were all stopped outside.
Qi Wenhai felt strange, were there any acquaintances inside?
When I arrived in the living room, I saw Han Ziping, Ye Chang, and Tang Heizi drinking tea and chatting.
Qi Wenhai and others came in, and Han Ziping smiled and said, "Lao Qi is here."
The county where Qi Wenhai lives is similar to that of Han Ziping. He is considered a fellow villager and he often travels around.
"Auntie said there was an acquaintance, so I thought who it was, but it turned out to be you?"
"Congratulations to the generals for your promotion. I really envy you for following King Wu."
Guan Yue and others sat down, poured themselves tea and chatted.
Ye Chang chuckled and said: "Old Qi, do you want to change your career? Stop being your head catcher and follow us to fight."
Qi Wenhai smiled and said: "Everyone has his own bowl, and everyone eats his own rice. Your bowl of rice is not delicious either."
"Hey, King Wu is really not in the house?"
Tang Heizi smiled and said, "I'm really not here. King Wu has so many beauties. Now that he's back, he has to go and comfort him."
Everyone laughed obscenely.
...
Fengming Palace.
The eldest princess, Di Yuwei, arrived at the door, hesitating whether to go in or not.
After thinking for a long time, I decided to go inside.
When they arrived at the imperial study room, the empress was discussing matters with Baili Bing, the official minister.
Nan Liang was captured. It stands to reason that the empress should summon Baili Bing to Jinling to discuss the governors and governors of each city there.
Nan Liang had been a country for hundreds of years and was more powerful than the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, the people of Nan Liang were not convinced by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, in the appointment of officials, the empress adopted the method of separating military and political affairs. The prefect was in charge of civil affairs and the governor was in charge of military affairs. The two checked and balanced each other.
But the threat from the ghost clan was too great, so the empress hurriedly returned to the capital to prepare for war. The appointment of officials only started today.
Di Yu entered the imperial study room slightly, and Ying Feng was about to report. Di Yu shook his head slightly, but Ying Feng remained silent.
"My intention is that those who are willing to submit to the original officials will submit, and those who are not willing to be removed and replaced."
"For some important cities, I have appointed governors and governors. For those that have not been appointed, I will select them from the Zhou Dynasty."
"In other small cities, we will use those that can be used locally, and recruit those that cannot be used locally."
Linjiang City and Diaoyu City, these two cities have long belonged to the Zhou Dynasty, and they also have chief officials, so there is no need to look for them again.
In Xianhe City, Wushun City, Yunqi City, Linhu City, Beiling City, Zhongwu City and Qingren County, these big cities, the empress has also appointed officials.
Some important cities in the east, such as Songjiang City, must be controlled by officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The people of Nanliang will definitely rebel again, it depends on the scale.
Of course, it is also related to the subsequent rule. If the people live well, the possibility of trouble will be small, and even if trouble occurs, it will not be too big.
Baili Bing wrote them down one by one.
The empress said: "This matter is of great importance. Nanliang is a large place with many people, and the customs and concepts are very different from those of our Zhou Dynasty."
"When you go this time, bring more people with you. When you get to Jinling, you must recruit local people into the staff and listen to their opinions."
"I want to start a war with the ghost tribe in the north, and Nanliang must be a stable rear. There must be no chaos!"
Baili Bing worshiped: "Wei Chen has accepted the decree, and Wei Chen will definitely handle it well!"
The empress said: "I'm afraid your trip will take several years, so don't hesitate to work hard."
Baili Bing bowed and said, "How dare you say it's hard work? I will leave tomorrow."
The empress got up and sent Baili Bing out.
After everyone left, Di Yuwei came out of the side room and said, "My son, I pay my respects to my mother."
The empress smiled and said, "Sit down."
Di Yu bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
The two sat down, and the empress asked, "What do you want to do here?"
