Chapter 967: The Beginning of the Three Elements
On the first day of the fourth year of Changqing, the court held a large pilgrimage as usual. The first day is the yuan of the year, the yuan of the time, and the yuan of the month, symbolizing the beginning of the new year, and it is the most solemn pilgrimage of the court. The court is held in the Hanyuan Palace, the hall is furnished with ceremonial music, the guard of honor is solemn, the Son of Heaven is crowned in Linxuan, the queen, the hundred officials, the envoys of the court and the relatives of the emperor are all dressed in court clothes to participate together. The ceremony includes the prince's birthday, the congratulatory table of the place played by the Zhongshu Shilang, the auspicious auspicious omen played by the Huangmen Shilang, the contribution of the Hubu Shangshu to the Zhuzhou, and the contribution of the Ministry of Rites to the Zhufan.
The third year of Changqing was a bit torment for Shi Chongwei, and the rebellion of the Annan Tun Army slapped him heavily in the face, causing him to vomit blood and lose face. After vomiting blood, Shi Chongwei suspended the court meeting on the grounds that he needed to recuperate, hid in the harem and lazy to see the courtiers, and handed over the government to Kong Province and others to take care of. Sitting in the water pavilion and listening to the song and dance, Shi Chongwei would always think of the Yanshan Palace that had stopped work, and his chest would ache faintly.
Sitting on the throne, his eyes crossed over from those prostrated courtiers, looking at the sky outside the main hall, the sun reflected on the railing of Zhuque, at this moment Shi Chongwei seemed to see the vast territory of Dazheng, and hundreds of millions of people were also bowing to him, cheering "Long live". Shi Chongwei couldn't help but feel excited, this is my people, I am the Son of Heaven, and I am blessed in all directions.
Shi Chongwei intended to use the Yuan Ri of the fourth year of Changqing to wash away last year's declining luck, and there were a lot of people who participated in the pilgrimage this year, not only the 27 prefectures have sent a large-scale imperial envoy, Shi Chongwei instructed Chen Yinguang, the secretary of Guanglu Temple, to let the envoys of the Northern Desert, the Western Regions, and the Southern Barbarian countries go to the court.
This can be embarrassing Chen Yinguang, cheekily came to the Sifang Pavilion to visit the Moren envoys, and secretly promised benefits to make the Moren envoys promise to write the He Zheng table in the court, the envoys of the Western Regions are easy to do, there are many Hu merchants in the East City, looking for someone to pretend to be, anyway, the Son of Heaven wants a scene, the truth does not care, those Hu merchants heard that the envoy has eaten and drank, all of them are very enthusiastic, as for the small Nanban country, it is easier, find some Nanren to smear their faces, it is the envoy.
Shi Chongwei looked at the envoys who bowed down in a mess and secretly despised in his heart, how can these small barbarian countries know etiquette, and sooner or later I will bring them under the king. His eyes fell on the messenger of the desert, Shi Chongwei frowned slightly, and the messenger of the desert knelt down on one knee and then stood up, standing out among the vassals, which was really rude.
The desert people brought back hundreds of thousands of troops from Hegao Mountain, and the strength of the grassland increased greatly, Chen Yinguang said that the desert people asked for an additional 500,000 stone grain this year on the grounds of population increase, and 500,000 stone grain is nothing, but I can't let the desert people slaughter at will.
After Zhu Yifeng went south, most of the rebels of Liu Wei's department were annihilated, and the remaining thousands of people fled south to the wilderness, which was no longer a problem, Wu Yanhao's rebels took advantage of the opportunity of the court to flee into Lizhou, Zhu Jinfeng has led the army to pursue, Zhu Jinfeng reported a few years ago, and more than half of the casualties of Wu Yanhao's department were killed and wounded several times, and now Wu has been forced to the coastal area, Wu Yanhao has the intention of fleeing across the sea, and Zhu Jinfeng is stepping up his annihilation. After I put down the rebellion of the Tun army, I rectified the soldiers and horses to fight with the desert people, and frustrated the arrogance of the desert people, and my father almost took the desert royal court, if it wasn't for the desert people to set fire to the grassland, at this moment the desert people either returned to the court or fled to the north wilderness.
The sun is like gold, sprinkled outside the Hanyuan Palace, reflected on the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, flashing with cold light, Shi Chongwei's heart is full of ambition, how can I be bullied by the indifferent people with a million male soldiers, I should be angry and try to complete the unfinished great cause of my father, and include the indifferent royal court into my rivers and mountains.
Empress Xiong stood on the left side of the throne with her prince Shi Shousheng, Concubine Cheng Shu was not eligible to participate in the court, and the prince Shi Shouqi she gave birth to was still young and did not participate in the court. Queen Xiong was a little excited, such an opportunity to congratulate Shi Shousheng is very important, as the eldest son of the queen will be canonized as the crown prince according to the practice of Dazheng, Sheng Er is eight years old during the New Year, and the prince will enter the East Palace at the age of ten, so how can Queen Xiong not be in a hurry.
Yu Guang glanced at the Son of Heaven sitting on the throne, the anxiety in Queen Xiong's heart became heavier and heavier, after giving birth to Sheng Er, the relationship between herself and the Son of Heaven gradually thinned, and the number of times the Son of Heaven came to Kun'an Palace after the draft in the palace was even more pitiful. Father asked him not to compete for favor, as the queen mother, the world can't be accused of being jealous, in order for Sheng'er to become the crown prince, he can endure more grievances.
Cheng Shufei's intention to compete for the crown is obvious on the paper, Cheng Mingdao, the servant of the ministry, is the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, this thief continues to say good things for Shi Shouqi in the ear of the Son of Heaven, and the three or four-year-old child was actually said by him to be benevolent, filial piety, and smart, and the most angry Son of Heaven actually believed it. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's very much love for Sheng Er, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven would probably be the crown prince.
looked at the father in the middle of the court, the national abbot Xiong Zhiren, who came from a humble background and did not help, and became Sheng'er's hard injury. After Jiang Anyi's teacher Yu Zhijie stepped down from the position of the head of the household, Jiang Anyi's voice above the court was weaker, and he was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself, and it would be impossible to support Sheng'er.
At the front of the column are the two ministers, the father has inquired about the tone of the two ministers, and they all said that the matter of the reserve can not be rushed, and the father lamented that the two ministers are easy to worry about being involved in the dispute between the princes, and the history books can be blocked into several mountains because of the head of the prince.
Chaohe has come to an end, Queen Xiong sighed secretly, and when Chaohe is over, she took Sheng'er to visit the Queen Mother, and she mentioned it while the Queen Mother was happy, I hope the Queen Mother can help Sheng'er become the prince.
Da Chaohe, the most tired is Chen Yinguang, the secretary of Guanglu Temple, who sent the envoy of Chaoji and He Zheng back to the Sifang Pavilion, Chen Yinguang felt that his waist was almost straight. Next is the feast, and after a few glasses of wine, you can go home and rest. Seeing the expression of the Son of Heaven is very satisfied with this great court, Chen Yinguang knows that he has won the favor of the Son of Heaven, and he does not want the position of the six Shangshu, so he can be a Qingqing of Guanglu Temple for a few more years, and he will be satisfied with giving a viscount when he is a servant.
After saying polite words and toasting three glasses of wine, Chen Yinguang raised his glass and walked to the indifferent envoy Meng Kefu, other envoys don't have to take it to heart, the indifferent envoy can not be offended, and his own merits are based on talking with the indifference.
Seeing Chen Yinguang walking over with a smile on his face with a wine glass, Monkov's eyes flashed with disdain, this Zheng man was as timid as a mouse, bent on currying favor with the Zheng Emperor, only thinking about appeasing with money, and watching the grassland grow, Liman Khan sent someone to tell him that he would wave his troops south at the beginning of spring this year, and let himself strive for more benefits from Zheng before going south, especially food. For this pilgrimage, Chen Yinguang promised to give him 200,000 stone of grain, and before the beginning of spring, he would transport the million stone grain funded in the peace talks to Moguo first.
Monkov showed a strange smile, if the Zheng people learned that the grassland warriors were eating the grain funded by the Zheng people and went south, I don't know what their expressions would be, would the Zheng people emperor order to behead the Chen people in front of him, stood up with a smile, and Meng Kev and Chen Yinguang drank happily.
At the beginning of the fourth year of Changqing, Shi Chongwei restored the early dynasty, and saw the refreshed Son of Heaven, Kong Province, Duan Cizong and others all smiled, the Son of Heaven washed away the decadence and reinvigorated, and it was nothing to suffer a small setback.
…………
The grain transported from the field continued to pass through Zhenbei City and go deep into the grassland, Qi Xinwen watched with a solemn face as the long grain cart divided into five roads into the desert, and the grain had been transported for three days, and the number exceeded one million stones. With so much grain in the desert, the desert people will have military rations, and if they go south, they will have no worries about grain and grass, and the situation in the spring of this year is not good.
I really don't know what Taiwei Zhu eats, but he will let the Son of Heaven order that all the funding for the whole year be transported to the grassland. Zhu Zhipu recommended Zhu Yifeng to go to quell the rebellion, and his record was outstanding, if nothing else, Zhu Yifeng would take over the post of captain, and the post of captain of the Zhu family would not be left behind. Zhu Yifeng is much stronger than Zhu Zipu, and Zhu Yifeng will be much stronger than his uncle in the future when he takes the post of Tai Lieutenant, unlike Zhu Zipu who is just an echo of the Son of Heaven, and he does not dare to disobey the will of the Son of Heaven at all.
After signing a peace treaty with the desert people, the court continued to recall the soldiers and horses, the first two years of the Annan Tun army rebellion, the court transferred 10,000 light horses, and now the soldiers and horses in the north camp of the town are only 240,000, these soldiers and horses want to block four or five hundred thousand desert people from going south, it is really more than enough and not enough.
The new deputy marshal Ning Tao stood with his sword pressed and asked in a deep voice, "Envoy Kang, do you know where this grain is going?" "Kang Qianfeng has been promoted to deputy envoy of the Military Intelligence Department and stayed in Zhenbei City to serve.
"Deputy Marshal, most of this grain is hoarded near Zatara one hundred and twenty miles away, and there are more than 10,000 desert horsemen stationed there." Kang Qianfeng bowed.
Qi Xinwen said coldly: "The Son of Heaven is lucky, thinking that the indifferent people will not go south if they get benefits. "How much can he guess the mind of the Son of Heaven, he wants to completely quell the rebellion of the Annan Tun army in the first half of this year, and then free up his hands to increase the strength of the camp in the north of the town one after another, but will the Mo people give the court half a year?
Ning Tao said: "Qi Shuai, do we have to take precautions, if we find out that the desert people are heading south, we will strike first and send people to burn these grains." ”
Qi Xinwen was silent for a moment and sighed: "Lao Ning, you are right, it's just that it will be impossible to wait until the Mo army goes south to move this batch of grain." The best way is to not allow grain to leave the customs now, and immediately send troops north to grab grain. ”
Ning Tao was also silent, he had the same idea as Qi Xinwen, but in this way, he started a provocation lightly, causing the crime of indifferent people to invade the south to fall on them. No matter what the Son of Heaven said in the secret decree, judging from his actions, he was very jealous of the indifferent people, and he only demanded stability.
"Deputy Envoy Kang, send more detectives to the royal court to investigate, once there are signs of gathering troops in the royal court, report to me immediately." Qi Xinwen said.
The Desert Royal Court is still icy and snowy. Within the Golden Horde, Li Man summoned all the leaders to drink and feast, and there was only one topic, to go south.
