In May of the 14th year of the Dali period, Emperor Li Yu collapsed in Zichen's inner palace. Before his death, he issued an edict to keep the secret promise between father and son - the Crown Prince Li Shi supervised the military and national affairs.

The news was sent to Jingzhou, and the emperor was mourned by the emperor, and Gao Yue was no exception. Zhihui worked in mourning at home.

The earliest mourning requirements sent by the imperial envoys and post officials in the capital were followed by Li Yu's will. The emperor required that "the officials and people in the world will be released in three days", which means that the officials and people in the world will be removed as long as they wear mourning clothes for me for three days.

Three days later, Gao Yue had just removed his mourning clothes and sat in the Kongmu Courtyard and personally distributed rewards to the athletes who had made contributions in the field: Duan Xiushi was indeed a honest and honest man. He distributed thousands of high-quality silk cloth from the granaries of the camp, and Gao Yue prepared a name book and sent it to all the soldiers who had made contributions in the military camp.

Among them is Shi Fu. This kid was shackled for ten days and was actually the second-class reward. He gave him ninety pieces of cloth (because he had ten pieces in advance). In Kong, he is very grateful.

"Shi Fu, Liangyuan, Du Yuan, and Shiraishi Yuan are about to open a village. Do you want to go or not?" Gao Yue picked up the pen and talked about the names on the name book, so he asked Shi Fu Dao who was standing in the hall.

"Go and go, of course, I'm still short of my autumn shirt, but I'm afraid my eyes won't suck me!" Shi Fu said hurriedly, causing laughter from other soldiers below.

Outside the city, the entire army of Baiquan was harvested. The soldiers waved their sickles and sweated wildly. The heavy golden wheat ears covered the ditches and ridges. Then they were loaded into calves, and the convoys were transported to the granaries from head to tail. At this moment, another postman in the capital came whipped his whip and horses.

Duan Xiushi soon summoned Gao Yue in the official hall full of mourning:

"Yi Song, you have to do a document as soon as possible. The funeral system of Emperor Daxing has changed again."

When Gao Yue heard this, he looked puzzled. Didn’t he get rid of the mourning in three days?

Seeing the expression of Kongmuguan, Duan Xiushi shook his head and whispered that for the sake of mourning, Chang Xiang and Cui Sheren in the court had a very fierce argument, and accused each other of not being mourned.

It turned out that as soon as Li Yu passed away, Chang Gun brought civil and military officials to cry in front of the coffin of Emperor Daxing. In fact, this book was nothing. It was natural for the supreme ruler of the country to express his condolences. However, Chang Gun finally showed his sorrow, so he took the officials to cry in the morning and in the evening. After crying, he had already gone down from the palace, and then suddenly came back and held the coffin and cried in the sky and the earth, which made the officials cry with him. After a few days, the entire court officials were in a state of turmoil and normal affairs were disrupted.

Cui Youfu, the clan of the Secretariat, made a suggestion that according to the will of Emperor Daxing, the mourning will be eliminated in three days. Then the time is up, so everyone should work normally.

Chang Gun was not happy, and he was also proficient in the ritual system, so he retorted that the ancient rituals stipulated that the nobles and officials must mourn the king for three years, and according to the Han system, they must mourn for thirty-six days. Even if they follow the precedent for Emperor Xuanzong, Emperor Suzong's mourning would take twenty-seven days. Moreover, in the will of Emperor Daxing, the officials and the people said that it was "the officials in the world will be released for three days", which means that it is aimed at the clerks and the people. As ministers and officials, we should not be listed with them, but of course we should mourn the Emperor Daxing for twenty-seven days.

Cui Youfu retorted that the prime minister completely misinterpreted the original meaning of "officials and people in the world will be released in three days". Officials refer to all officials and people refer to all the people (the Tang Dynasty avoided Li Shimin's taboo and changed the people into humans). "Who is not an official?" We should eliminate the mourning as soon as possible and go to work with peace of mind.

So the two sides fought hard and refused to give in to each other.

On the contrary, Yan Zhenqing, the real ritual of mourning, was left aside, and no one listened to what he said.

Now a new wave of post officials have come to the capital, and Jingyuan Jinzouyuan also sent an urgent letter: The latest trends in the capital are that military and political officials in the military office will put on their mourning clothes and continue to make up for the 24-day mourning for the Emperor of Daxing.

That's why Duan Xiushi asked Gao Yue to execute the certificate as soon as possible and notify the officers in the military office to pay attention.

It seems that the new emperor Li Shi still obeyed Chang Gun's words.

Gao Yue immediately wrote the letter in front of the desk, stamped it with the seal of the chief, and handed it over to the other officials to inform the officials of the court.

Seeing Gao Yue's skillful style, Duan Xiushi nodded secretly, then his hand held the post letter from the capital and asked Gao Yue first: "Yi Song has been in our military mansion for a year, can you get something?"

"I learned four things in the following festival."

“Those four.”

"Aware of the bad things of the border army, one is the first; know the skills of eliminating bad things, two is the second; mastering the learning of maps, three is the third; practicing military documents, four is the fourth."

Hearing this, Duan Xiushi couldn't help laughing, and then he took out the northwest map and asked Gao Yue to point out the key joints. Gao Yue understood it one by one. It seemed that he did well with Duan Xiushi in this subject.

Duan Xiushi asked Gao Yue again, "The military camp has gained a lot this year. Yisong, what are your plans right away?"

Gao Yue pointed directly at the map and talked freely, "The money, silk and grain saved by Baiquan Army Station can be divided into three parts, one is given to Yingtian Jianer, one is supervising military equipment, one is preparing agricultural tools, and another is 4,500 soldiers, and three thousand civilians in Jingzhou can be brought to build a new town in Liangyuan. This time, 2,500 hectares can be directly opened. Because Liangyuan Jing River flows through and irrigation is cheap, the method of double-type rice and wheat can be implemented, so that the harvest of grain can be doubled. Once Liangyuan is successful, it will be easier to open a hundred miles and Lingtai in the next year, and the number of soldiers in the camp can be reported to the court and the number of soldiers in the camp will be increased by 7,000. ......After the rice and wheat are abundant, you can grazed horses in the grasslands in the west of the state. In this way, within four or five years, there will be 40,000 soldiers and 7,000 horses. Then 10,000 will be left to guard the city of the state, 30,000 troops will be conquered, and then combined with Fengxiang's troops, 5,000 soldiers and 5,000 soldiers in Fanyang (brought from Youzhou), and 5,000 soldiers in Shuofang will be transferred to Pingliang and Panyuan. As long as the granaries are full, you can advance slowly and wait for labor. Xifan will be unable to do anything... Finally, you can recover Yuanzhou... Then you can connect Hexi, rebuild the military town, and then open the Hehuang land..."

Duan Xiushi always smiled and looked at the young man who was talking about his ideals. Until he finished speaking, he sighed and said, "That is to say, it will take four or five years to overcome Wonju, right?"

"With the current financial resources of the imperial court and the current state of the Jingyuan camp, we still need to cultivate solid farming, which is indeed the case." Gao Yue replied.

Then Duan Xiushi did not say anything positively, but told Gao Yue, "The Baiquan Army Gate is completed, and the 800 hectares of wild land are all fertile land. This can be said to be your merits of Yisong. In fact, before the collapse of the mountain tomb, the general of this verse had asked the Jinzou Academy to apply your hard work to the Ministry of Personnel for the examination. You also wrote the examination certificate (self-assessment), and the results have been recently."
