The founding ceremony of the Xixia Kingdom was actually more grand than the last time he proclaimed himself emperor. In addition to the important civil and military ministers who rushed to Xingzhou, the arrival of envoys from various countries also added a bit of solemnity to it. However, the Song and Liao Dynasties
The big country did not send envoys this time.
The six departments of Li, Hu, Li, Bing, Xing and Gong all have ministers. Xiao Yan is the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Xu Xuan is the minister of the Ministry of Rites. However, these two people still use pseudonyms. Yang Hao cannot establish a truly equal status with Zhao Guangyi. Their
It is not appropriate for their true identities to be exposed, but since they had been working with Yang Hao long before Yang Hao succeeded him as the Jiedushi Envoy of the Dingnan Army, they used the pseudonyms they use now, so no one raised any questions.
Since they had this name when they were young, and now they are in a high position, their fictitious identity has naturally been taken seriously. In that era, there were neither movies, television, cameras or newspapers. Although the two were well-known in Jiangnan, their true identity was unknown.
No one who recognizes their appearance will appear here, so their identities are not exposed.
Yang Hao founded the country and appointed generals. Although he had weighed it repeatedly in advance to ensure that the bowl of water was balanced, the bowl of water was uneven. Everyone had different opinions.
After the edict was issued, some people were happy and some were sad. For example, Fan Siqi became the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, Yang Jiye returned to Beijing to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Lin Pengyu became the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments. These people had no doubts about their positions.
And Li Xing, a skilled craftsman, was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which was an unexpected joy for him. Men like Mu En, Mukui and others were also satisfied when they were awarded the titles of Commander-in-Chief of the Front Army and Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army. Zhang Chengxian from Shazhou was like this
There is no objection to the fact that the head of a highly respected family can be awarded a Taishi. The Taifu and other high-status official positions without real power have no objection. The most disappointing thing is that except for some nobles in the Tuoba family who thought they would be reused.
In fact, among the Tuoba clan members, Yang Hao also vigorously promoted some people, mainly Ono Ke'er who followed him in the north and south, Tuoba Haofeng and other young generals. Those who were unhappy were all in the original Difficult Army.
However, because they have been officials for generations, they have become a family of officials. Their ethnic group is not very powerful, and they have not made any contribution to the Jingwei Kingdom. Yang Hao had known that these people would be dissatisfied.
However, if he did not make great efforts to completely crowd out these idlers, it would be difficult for his court to take on a new look, so he did not consider giving them real power and important positions.
These people were already outside the core of Yang Hao's power, and after moving the capital, they left their base. The influence they could exert on Yang Hao was very limited, so even though they were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do about it for the time being. However,
, at the end of the ceremony, when all the officials retired from the court, the discordant scene between Zhang Pu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, and Zhong Fang, the cabinet scholar, gave them a glimmer of hope.
At the end of the ceremony, hundreds of officials withdrew from the court, and Zhang Pu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Command, withdrew from the court. Many officials and generals, especially those from the former Yinzhou and Dingnan factions, came forward to congratulate them: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang, now the official worship of Wu
The Commander-in-Chief of the Army can be said to be the number one military commander in our dynasty."
Zhang Pu was not interested, and said with a smile: "That's all, what's there to say? As the governor, I have to discuss anything with Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of War. As for the right to dispatch troops, I have to discuss it with you."
It’s no big deal if the cabinet approves it. It’s still our kind of adults. If you entrust the cabinet’s chief assistant to be a bachelor, then you are inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, haha..."
There was a strong sense of ridicule in Zhang Pu's words. The smiles on the faces of the officials who came to congratulate him became somewhat stiff. Zhong Fang was not far away and was surrounded by a group of officials to congratulate him. Although he might not be able to hear what Zhang Pu said. He said these words, but there was no guarantee that no one would tell him afterwards. Who dared to laugh freely at this time? However, the official who was originally dissatisfied with his position smelled something unusual, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Zhang Pu's words made the congratulators feel bored, and just as everyone was about to disperse, Zhongfang shouted loudly: "Master Zhang, please stay." He quickly rushed towards Zhang Pu.
"Sir Zhang, Huyan Aobo of Shangbo Qian's command in Longyou repeatedly invaded our border. The Duoling defenders lost troops and generals, but failed to make any achievements. A few days ago, the imperial court selected Hengshan Qiang soldiers who were good at climbing and crossing mountains to launch a surprise attack, but it also failed to produce any results. How can little Shang Boqian still allow him to be arrogant? My lord, can you come to my house and let us discuss the war at Xiaoguandouling and share the worries of the king?"
Zhang Pu laughed and said: "Sir, you are making things difficult for me. I have been guarding Suzhou and coordinating the people from Shaguasu and other states. I don't know anything about the situation in Xiaoguan area. What can I come up with?" What's the solution? Your Excellency is a master of arts and military strategy. If there is any ingenious strategy that requires Zhang to be a pawn to charge into the battle, then Zhang will not even frown. As for discussing countermeasures with the adults, that is beyond the reach of others. Already."
Zhong Fang's face suddenly darkened: "Sir Zhang, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, isn't this a matter of your honour? It seems inappropriate to be so overly modest, right?"
Zhang Pu said with a smile: "If the great scholar feels that Zhang's meritorious service and ability are not worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the five armies, he can impeach me to the king and remove me from my official position. As for passing the government to teach, I really don't think so. If the king wants Zhang When it comes to dealing with the Xiao Guan matter, Zhang must obey the King's will. Take your leave!"
Zhang Pu arched his hands and walked away proudly. Zhong Fang raised his brows, ready to express his anger, but Yang Jiye suddenly turned around from the side, changed the topic with a few words, and pulled him away. The people who gathered around to congratulate him asked him. It was boring, so they naturally dispersed in a hurry, but those who were interested saw this scene in their eyes, but secretly remembered it in their hearts.
If they want to achieve their own goals, they don't necessarily have to stand up for themselves. If someone more powerful than themselves breaks the current rules, then they can get the benefits they want. Looking at the current situation, it is obvious that Governor Zhang I am a little dissatisfied with being subordinated to a great scholar. If Zhang Pu is fooled into making a fuss, and the king is willing to compromise, then I...
There are many eyes and ears at the moment, so naturally it is not easy to say anything. However, these people have already thought about it and are thinking about it in their hearts. They are preparing to have more interactions with Governor Zhang in the future. It is always easy for people who share the same disease to talk together, even if they cannot strive for more There are many benefits, at least you can count as a big shot, right?
"Official."
As soon as they saw Yang Hao coming back, Dong'er, Yanyan and the other girls came up to welcome him. Today's ceremony was really busy. Finally, they had to hold a banquet to entertain envoys from various countries in the Western Regions. When everything was done, it was already late at night and they were able to return to the interior. Palace. Once a country is established, rules should also be established. However, Yang Hao has agreed with his family in advance that when his family is together, he will still use ordinary people's names. He does not like that between husband and wife, and between father and son. The distinction between superiority and inferiority has been made, and the family ties have been weakened.
There is a precedent for this move by Zhao Kuangyin. Dong'er and Yanyan are not rigid people, so they naturally follow the good deeds. However, Yang Hao did it more thoroughly than Zhao Kuangyin. His so-called harem is nothing like the back house of a wealthy family.
In the same way, many of the rules in the palace were not used and were completely changed.
Yang Haodao: "On the first day, when the bride gets on the sedan chair, there are always a lot of things to do. It's already very late, why don't you go to bed?"
Dong'er pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid that the official will be drunk on a big day? Just be fine. I've been sitting there for a long time and I'm really tired. I'll go to bed first. Xue'er, Shan'er and Xiao
Jia sleep in my room tonight."
After Dong'er said that, she walked away with a smile. Yanyan, Wa'er, and Miaomiao looked at each other, but their faces suddenly turned a little red. Miaomiao quickly glanced at Yanyan and Wa'er, and said, "I...
I also went to bed."
"Wait for me." Wa'er was a little embarrassed and hurriedly chased after her.
Yang Hao blocked their slender waists and said with a smile: "You don't have to leave. Isn't the bed in Yanyan's room big enough?"
Wawa and Miaomiao both blushed: "Guanren...", but Yanyan glared at him fiercely and ran away with a blushing face.
When the clouds collect and the rain comes, the red candles in the room are short, and the candles are full of tears. The jade bodies are spread across the embroidered couch, with a pink light, fragrant and charming.
"Oh...oh..."
In the distance, a cock crows.
She curled up in Yang Hao's arms like a baby cat and suddenly chuckled.
Yang Hao played with her chicken head, which was as red as a bean, and said lazily: "What are you laughing at?"
The baby's charming eyes flickered, and she glanced at him and said charmingly: "My husband has been ridiculous all night, and it is already dawn. This is really 'the spring night is short and the sun is rising, and the king will not go to court early from now on'."
Yang Hao couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't this the three days of Daqing? Otherwise..."
He suddenly remembered something, so he turned over and lay on his back. The baby moved a little bit, but was still close to him. Miaomiao on the other side immediately snuggled up to her knowingly.
Yang Hao's naked body was close to Yang Hao, and each of them had a snow-white thigh on his body. Only Yanyan, the girl who was the first to beg for mercy, rolled to the corner of the big bed and covered the whole quilt.
Wrapped around him, he lay on his side like a bow, sleeping soundly. Fortunately, this room was equipped with a floor dragon, a heated kang, and a fire wall. It was as warm as early summer. The three of them had all the skills to do it, so they were not afraid of catching cold.
Yang Haodao: "Now that you said it, I remembered it. Zhong Fang asked me when our country will have its morning meeting and when it will be scheduled. I haven't decided yet. Hmm, I have to decide first..."
Yang Hao thought for a moment and said with a smile: "That's it. Let's make an early morning on the fifth day. The morning will be at Chen time."
Speaking of the early morning dynasty, Yang Hao couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, it was the Song Dynasty. If this was the Ming and Qing Dynasties... it would be terrible. From the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the early dynasty basically lasted three days, one morning, or five days.
In the Ming Dynasty, when the workaholic Mr. Zhu took over the world, morning dynasties were almost always available.
Those ministers lived in different distances. Lao Zhu came to court at six o'clock, and the ministers had to get up at three o'clock in the middle of the night and enter the palace at five o'clock. This was like never-ending torture. At that time, some people just couldn't stand it.
He got up in the middle of the night every day and asked to retire. A minister named Qian Zai wrote a poem specifically for this purpose. The poem said: "With the four drums banging and the clothes rising, it's too late to go to the Meridian Gate. When will I get there?"
So enjoy the countryside and sleep until the food in the world is ready?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial guards were everywhere, and they immediately copied the poem to the emperor. When he went to court the next day, Comrade Lao Zhu said to him: "Your poem is very well written, but I don't mind you."
You're late, what do you think about changing the word 'suspect' to 'worry'?" Qian Zai was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. Probably the children in Lao Zhu's family had a bit of a rebellious mentality, so Lao Zhu went to court every day.
, never tired of it, so some of his descendants did not go to court every day, or even did not go to court for decades.
"When our country was newly established, we had a dynasty every five days. Wouldn't that be a little less? Or how about a dynasty every three days?"
Although Miaomiao wished Yang Hao could stay with them longer, she also knew what was more important and could not help but worry.
Yang Haodao: "Memories and official documents are submitted every day. If there are any important events, the cabinet must report them. Why should the morning court be so frequent? It makes everyone uncomfortable."
Yang Hao was quite dissatisfied. Modern society has more and busier affairs than ancient times. It is rare for any head of state to call the State Council, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Civil Affairs, General Secretary, Army Commander, etc. to arrange arrangements for everyone.
Sit down and eat some fruit? Yang Hao feels that since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the five-day morning service has been enough if the efficiency of government operations can be guaranteed. If there are too many people, even morning service every day is of no use.
Miaomiao said: "But..."
Yang Hao suddenly woke up, reached out and slapped her on the buttocks, and pretended to say: "I forgot the agreement I made with you. You are not allowed to interfere in national affairs, okay?"
His slap wasn't heavy, but Miaomiao's snowy buttocks were as smooth as gelatin, as shiny as egg white, and as tender as tofu. This slap wasn't heavy, but the jade-smooth and silky part also floated a bright red. Miaomiao
He said humbly: "I know that I am guilty, but I just want to..."
Yang Haodao: "I know you have good intentions, and your words are not excessive. However, this is the experience summed up by the rise and fall of many dynasties. It is always necessary to guard against the slightest change. A country must have
There is a certain system and order, and the emperor's family members are people with a transcendent status in the country, but they are not the ones who manage the country. Therefore, once the operation of the existing system and order is disturbed, the country will inevitably enter disorder and chaos.
You believe that you will not do anything out of the ordinary, and I also believe that you will not do anything out of the ordinary. But once you interfere more, the people around you will gradually get involved, and things will gradually become worse.
It deviates from your original intention. Furthermore, our children may not be as good as me when they grow up in the future. If we marry a woman like you who is smart, smart, and knows how to behave, we have to lay a good foundation for our children, right?"
Miaomiao burst into laughter, biting her lips and nodded. She looked so soft and timid, which made me feel pity for her. Yang Hao felt so pity for her that he couldn't help but pecked her lips and said with a smile: "Anyway, today
It's already late, let's just be completely ridiculous." After saying that, she turned over and fell over. When Miaomiao saw it, she quickly begged for mercy: "The slave family is so weak that it is embarrassing for the master to criticize me. I beg the officials to have mercy..."
Yang Hao turned to look at the baby. The baby was startled and waved his hands quickly: "Don't look for me, don't look for me."
On the side, Yanyan woke up leisurely, opened her sleepy eyes, sat up cross-legged, and wrapped her body in the quilt with a pair of arms like Bai Lotus, yawned, and then asked the topic she just heard faintly: "What child, who?"
child?"
Yanyan woke up for the first time and had a good night's sleep after being moistened by clouds and rain. At this time, she still looked delicate and helpless. Her cheeks were as red as a pair of peaches, and her eyes seemed to be open and closed, misty. Like a waterfall.
Her beautiful hair fell messily on her snowy neck and chest, making her skin even whiter than the snow, which was carved with pink and jade.
As soon as she opened her sleepy eyes, she saw Yang Hao's narrow smiling face in front of her: "My husband said that I would use these three days of vacation to work hard and give you the cutest child."
As she said that, a pair of big hands pulled away the quilt on her body, and her seductive pink and curved buttocks flashed, and then the two people merged into one...
"Look at you, how old you are, and you don't know how to control yourself. You just want Yanyan to serve you. Why are you so ridiculous? What will you do if your body is damaged?"
Dong'er warmed up a bowl of fragrant japonica rice porridge, put it next to Yang Hao, and said with a faint face. Yang Hao chuckled and said: "It's just these two days, I have to rest.
Relax, by the way, have you started making arrangements for what I want you to do?"
"Well!" Dong'er sat down next to him, sweetly watching her husband eat the porridge she cooked by herself, and said: "We built the palace and various government offices, and hired a large number of people who lost their homes due to the war.
Common people, these people have no livelihood and earn wages by building buildings. Finally, no one died of cold or hunger in this cold winter. Zhong Fang has already informed Li Xing that he will let them build the mansions of various officials.
It won’t be completed until next winter anyway.”
Yang Hao took a mouthful of the fragrant pickles and nodded: "Well, these matters are mainly left to people like Li Yuchang. We cannot rely entirely on Jisitang. It is better to train more local craftsmen. After one or two years of training, these people
In construction, most of them can start from the men who are only responsible for heavy and simple tasks and master some skills. Next, they can be asked to build inns, restaurants, pawn shops... The more Hexi develops, the more cities there will be, and the construction will continue.
When the earth rises, there can be some people who specialize in these things."
"The same is true for other industries. The salt industry in Yanzhou is developed, the smelting and casting industry is developed in Xiazhou Iron Smelting Industry, and agriculture is developed in the Tanliangcheng area. As for Ganzhou, various handicrafts, fur processing industries, etc. also have certain advantages.
The scale, these... Oh, forget it, I can talk to Aguli directly about the matter in Ganzhou."
Dong'er nodded and said: "Actually, you don't have to go to such trouble. Since the housekeeper is unreliable, can't giving him another official position play a role in taking advantage of the scheme? That's good. Place it next to yourself.
I caught someone else's eye, and I need to send you a message about something. By the way, when will the Zhe family... leave?"
Yang Hao paused and said, "Tomorrow."
"What about... Ziyu?"
Yang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "It's tomorrow too."
The corners of Dong'er's mouth raised slightly, and she said with a half-smile: "Since you want to be a foolish king, why not do it more thoroughly? If you force her into the palace, who dares to stop you?"
Yang Hao smiled and said: "It won't work if I'm too overwhelmed all at once. The way I am now, I only need to do two things. One is to start rejecting dissidents and suppress those who can pose a threat to me. I will try my best to
It is possible to concentrate power. The second is to be complacent, not to make progress, and to be self-sufficient in Hexi. As for the first one, every founding emperor would do it. I did it. It was reasonable for the Zhao Guan family, but I didn't do it well.
, it’s an unexpected surprise. As for the second point, I am originally a person with no ambitions, which is normal in the Zhao Guan family’s eyes. If I make too many unreasonable and excessive actions at once, it will be too much.”
"You are just a big bad guy. Then... go and see her after dinner."
Yang Hao nodded: "Well, I'll be there in a moment."
