To the west of Guanfeng Hall is Honji-in Temple.
Among the six major building groups of Shangyang Palace, the Guanfeng Hall group has been basically completed in terms of engineering. What is left is to cover the city walls with bricks and repair the landscape.
The formation of Honji-yuan has entered an advanced stage, and it generally includes three major building groups: Honji-yuan, Lichundian, and Gantang-yuan.
Honji-in itself focuses on natural landscapes. The buildings are mainly small courtyards. They have been completed and even decorated. However, landscapes such as flowers, birds, fish, insects, bamboos and trees are not so fast. Feng Wei, who is responsible for restoring the imperial city, is still carefully
When planning a plan, ask Shao Shude for instructions from time to time to see what it will look like.
Separated by a wall to the west of Honzhiyuan is Lichun Hall, which is guarded by three courtyards: Furong Pavilion, Hanlian Pavilion and Yinan Pavilion.
Similar to Honedain, the construction is completed, but landscapes such as the lotus pond and hibiscus flower sea are difficult to create and will take time.
Outside the west wall of Lichun Hall is Gantangyuan, where Shao Shude spent a lot of beautiful and debauched time. Especially regarding the tax exemption for the people of Henan, Zhang Hui’s promise was fulfilled in Gantangyuan. I don’t know.
How happy.
"They are all dead branches and leaves, what's there to see?" In Benzhi Courtyard, Mrs. Wang walked up to Shao Shude and said.
Zhang Hui was on the side directing the maid to pack her luggage, and frowned secretly when she heard this.
Mrs. Wang was a bit arrogant. She was petite, but very plump. King Xia held her between his legs and enjoyed her as much as he wanted. This woman also liked to charm King Xia, and Zhang Hui didn't like it with her various pretense.
.Your husband Zhu Youwen is not dead yet!
Shao Shude chuckled lightly and hugged Wang over, playing with her while thinking.
In the new year, he will launch a large-scale campaign against Hebei.
In this battle, only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed. Therefore, a large number of troops must be invested to defeat the few with more and bully others.
After winning this battle, it will create power for future concessions.
The Yuancong elders can't wait any longer. Some things can't be delayed any longer unless you give them the position of real power and military governor - this is a very common and ordinary "pressure relief valve".
But when Shao Shude was unwilling to open the pressure relief valve, reshaping the imperial order and redistributing the cake became urgent matters.
There isn't much time left.
Before the end of the Hebei Campaign, it is best to send Yang Xingmi back to Huainan. Then, leave a minimum defensive force on the southern border for confrontation across the Huaihe River, while the main force is mobilized northward on a large scale.
On the Andong Mansion side, the first wave of cross-sea landings will also begin.
This time, we can only borrow a large number of ships from the Bohai Kingdom, which is a bit embarrassing. In the Central Plains Empire, people come to pay tribute, do business, and wait passively. As a result, there are only a few sailing ships. This situation must be changed.
One Huainan and one Hebei are the focus next year.
After Shao Shude thought about it, he pushed Wang down.
Wang covered her snow-white chest and glanced at Shao Shude with resentment. Is her role just to act as a toy when His Highness is thinking?
"Pack your things and go back to Qingshu Palace in Ruzhou first." Shao Shude said: "Murong Fu will send some sergeants to escort you to the south."
Very helpless, Princess Zhe Fangmei has already brought people back to Qingshu Palace. Shao Shude still wants to show off. The emperor has come, and his whole family is not suitable to live in the palace. He has to wait until the abdication ceremony is completed.
In Xiuye Square, Shao Shude left a house for himself, which was the house of Zhu Yichen, the former Yinqing Guanglu doctor, the governor of Dingzhou, and the Shangzhu State. After the emperor came, he lived here.
Most of the women were driven away, leaving only Zhang Hui, Chu and Pugu to serve him.
"Your Highness, if a saint from the Li family comes, do not kill him unless necessary." Zhang Hui stepped forward, adjusted Shao Shude's robes, and said.
"Why should I kill him?" Shao Shude smiled and said, "Even if he wants to do me harm, I can't kill him. After abdication, he can be made a prince and that's it. The feudal towns have been separated for more than a hundred years, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty
He doesn’t have much prestige anymore, why am I still afraid of him?”
In fact, not only the emperor of the Tang Dynasty lost his prestige, but also all the superiors in this era did not have enough prestige. This kind of thing is a bit like inflation. If you suppress it immediately when the signs appear, then the price will rise very quickly.
will return to normal. But if people form expectations about rising prices, then they will take the initiative to increase the selling price of goods, and people's purchasing power will decrease, and then demand a wage increase. After the wage increase, prices will rise again, forming a death spiral.
Eliminating inflation expectations is the most important means of controlling prices.
In the same way, if you want to prevent people from rebelling, you must eliminate people's expectations of rebellion and prevent them from forming inertia and a trend. Let people subconsciously feel that no one should rebel, and no one should dare to rebel. In this way
Really no one will rebel.
It is a pity that for more than 140 years, the "anticipation of rebellion" has penetrated into every corner. Now it is too difficult to pull back bit by bit and restore the majesty of the emperor.
"The Emperor is majestic..." Zhang Hui read softly.
She suddenly felt that the man in front of her would soon be the emperor, but she didn't have enough awe in her heart. Perhaps it was because over the years, local officials, generals, and warriors had seen too many jokes about the emperor, and the emperor was majestic.
Sweeping the floor can no longer inspire enough awe.
"Did you suddenly feel that the man in front of you was not simple?" Shao Shude leaned close to Zhang Hui's ear and asked with a smile.
Zhang Hui blushed, gave Shao Shude a white look, and said: "How can there be an emperor like you? He is not upright."
"You are my woman. After being naked for several days, it is normal for you not to be in awe." Shao Shude gently stroked Zhang Hui's smooth and white neck with his rough hands and said: "The closer you are to the superior, the less likely you are to feel awe.
To get them to submit is nothing more than inducement and intimidation. But for the people below, they cannot see the daily life and decision-making process of the superiors. They do not know that the superiors also have to play, worry, and
You will make mistakes and always feel that they are unfathomable. Only when you are sure of the truth and have the pearls of wisdom in your hand can you be in awe."
"There are quite a lot of fallacies." Zhang Hui glanced at Shao Shude and felt a little in awe at this time. This man was frighteningly frank and had a frightening insight into world affairs.
"When Liannu grows up, I will make him a county boy. From now on, he can live quietly. No one will bully him." Shao Shude added.
"Liannu" is the nickname of Zhang Hui's son Zhu Youzhen, who is twelve years old this year. The fact that he was granted the title of county boy instead of being exterminated shows Shao Shude's generosity, and of course Zhang Hui's ability to serve him.
"Your Highness is truly a benevolent king." Zhang Hui sighed.
The biggest shortcoming is that I have already experienced it. There are so many famous ladies rushing to recommend themselves as pillow seats, but they like to snatch other people's wives and daughters back. Not only that, but also let these snatched women give him children.
"Benevolent or not, that's all. I'm not afraid of them turning against me. As long as I'm alive, no one can turn against me. After I die, their influence will almost disappear, and they won't be able to turn against me," Shao Shude said.
Zhang Hui was silent.
Can the still-living sons of King Liang rebel? It seems impossible. By the time the crown prince of Xia succeeds to the throne, almost all the veterans who once served under King Liang will have withered away, and the people of Henan will also have a new generation. Indeed, there will be no one left.
Can counter.
"Your Highness summoned Zhuge Chang, Zhao Su, Zhao Lu, Zhao Kuangming and others to Luoyang. You must have some agenda, right?" Zhang Hui didn't want to talk about anything about Zhu Quanzhong anymore, as that would make her feel unethical, so she changed the subject.
.
"Before abdication, some things need to be cleaned up." Shao Shude nodded and said: "From the beginning, the new dynasty must be clean and there will be no state within a state. Xuzhou, Xingyuan Mansion, Longzhou,
Xiangyang, I plan to buy it. If they refuse to sell, then take action. For this reason, even if the offensive in Hebei and Hedong is suspended, these things must be suppressed first."
"However, many vassal towns are remote and difficult to control. If there are no officials, they will be fine on weekdays. If there is trouble in the local area, they may not be able to respond in time." Zhang Hui said.
"The name Jiedushi must never appear again." Shao Shude said, "I have my own concerns about remote places."
Zhang Hui looked at Shao Shude curiously and asked, "Are we going to interview the envoy?"
Shao Shude glanced at Zhang Hui approvingly and said: "I will summon Zhao Kuangming tomorrow. If we can capture Xiangyang, we will send someone there and appoint Xiangying to follow Ejunfang as the governor of the seven states to take charge of civil affairs. Huaixi Town
After they are deposed, An, Huang, and Qi will be added as governors and envoys to the ten states. This is a temporary assignment. If you do well, it is not impossible to have this post permanently in the future."
The post of governor first appeared in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It also existed in the imperial dynasties. For example, Di Renjie served as governor of Jiangnan, but these were temporary assignments and non-permanent positions.
"Is this the governor of Shannan East Road?" Zhang Hui asked.
"The capital of our country is Chang'an. We look at the overall situation from Guanzhong, so we set up two east and west roads in Shannan. I am based in Luoyang, so naturally I don't think so. It's better to call me the governor of Hubei Province. Anyway, there is already an observation envoy from Hunan. It's not bad to call him Hubei."
." Shao Shude said.
"Does the governor command troops?"
"Military power is limited." Shao Shude said: "The governor of various states and counties naturally has no fixed authority and only has a small number of accompanying troops to protect the army. If this position is permanently established and fixed in one place to handle affairs, it can only command the army to protect the army. Each state has state soldiers, each with its own command.
If the whole Tao needs to be unified, there may be another commander-in-chief."
"In the land of Guanxi, we will set up Hexi Road, Longyou Road, and Shaanxi Road Governor. It should be implemented in a while."
"Meng Huai, Luo, Ru, Zheng, Tang, Deng, Shaanxi and Guozhou, set up governors of the Zhili Road. However, I may also include Xiang and the two states into the Zhili Road. We will see when the time comes." Shao Shude said.
The three towns of Heyang, Dongdu, and Shaanxi and Guo are generally relatively reliable. In Shao Shude's view, they are all "colonies" of the Kansai forces in Guandong, and they belong to the basic market. They are much more secure than the vassal towns in Henan Province such as Xuanwu Town.
and together.
In addition, since both are located in Luoyang, he can view the entire world with Luoyang as the center. Xiangyang is still very important, and there are almost no mountain and river geographical barriers between it and the Nanyang Basin. If possible, he still wants to follow Xiangzhou and the two states.
It was placed under Zhili and unified administrative powers.
But in this way, the status of the two prefectures of Jun and Fang will be very embarrassing. If that doesn't work, it seems to be a feasible strategy to include the four prefectures of Jinshang, Junfang and Fang into Zhili Road.
At that time, we will have to discuss with several prime ministers to clarify the administrative divisions of each province.
