On the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the ninth month, the saint gave the prime ministers five hundred pieces of money for them to have fun and feast.

He also gave 500 yuan of money to the officials of various ministries, allowing them to choose a place to enjoy themselves.

He also gave money to the palace servants...

When Yang Kejian asked the eunuch Qiu Silian to reimburse the expenses, Qiu Silian became sarcastic and said, "The saint is generous, but he doesn't know who is generous."

"All the kings under the world are the kings, and the kings are the kings and ministers." Yang Kezheng said: "All the civil and military officials in the court, and the foreign vassal commanders are the ministers of the Tang Dynasty?"

Qiu Silian did not argue with her, but just laughed and said, "Yang Shang Palace is thirty-two? In a few years, I am afraid that I will be released from the palace and make a living by myself. It is difficult to have no children or daughters."

To be honest, eunuchs can laugh at the palace officials in this regard. Because eunuchs have children to support their children and see them off, eunuchs are also a family property, so palace officials are different.

Yang Kezheng's face suddenly became very unfavorable.

She was a clever woman, but Qiu Silian's words did hit the hidden worries in her heart, making her unable to argue.

She originally had no hidden worries, but when she gave a banquet in the corridor last time, she was told by Shao Shude, and some worries suddenly surged into her heart.

The parents had long passed away. The elder brother and the second brother died in the Chao Rebellion. The third brother also died in the Jingshi Rebellion in the Shence Army. He had only one sister and married a small court official. He even lost his official position a while ago, but she was unable to help her brother-in-law restore his official position.

"Forget it, a fool, a fool, it's boring to say too much." Qiu Silian shook his head and walked away.

Yang Kezheng stood firmly for a long time.

Shen Shi, she replied to Anfu Palace.

The saint was saying something, Li Zhaoyi's eyes were red, and Queen He was crying.

Yang Kezheng actually looked down on Empress He a little. He was born in the He family in Zizhou and said he was a local clan, but in the whole world, he would be just a poor family. If the saint had not been to Chengdu with the late emperor during his vassal period and offered beauties to the various states in Shu, Empress He would have no chance at all.

Moreover, she was a little greedy and afraid of death, and hesitated to do something, and she cried when she was scared, and she did not have the attitude of being a mother in the world.

Compared to this, Li Zhaoyi is much better, and she loves saints more, and she loves them to the core, and dares to block the knife for saints.

"If you want Shao Zhe not to doubt it, the queen still needs to work harder." When she said this, the saint was a little embarrassed, and the expression on her face was not very natural.

"Your Majesty, those martial artists are fierce and unruly, and only the Taifu can control them. If the Taifu dies and the riots rush into the palace, we will all die without a place to bury." Empress He cried and said.

The saint pale and said hurriedly: "Why did the queen say this? When Shao thief died, it would be useless to kill all the civil and military officials of the court. Can people be resurrected after they die? We must consider it for the future. I am the emperor, I issued an edict to comfort me, reward money, and then--"

Speaking of this, the saint gritted his teeth and said, "Showing a few more scapegoats will calm the resentment of the rioters."

Yang Kezheng suddenly felt a chill.

The saint is the emperor, and it is indeed unlikely that the rioters will kill him, but what about the palace servants? What about the officials?

Who is the scapegoat? Lu Guangqi? Dugu Lun? Wang Pu? Liu Can? Queen He will be sentenced to death if she doesn't do it well. And what will happen to her?

Queen He was still crying, and she obviously thought of something terrible.

Zhaoyi and Li Jianrong suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am good at singing and dancing, music, and I can also offer dances and encourage drinking."

Her eyes were very firm, and when she looked at the saint, she was full of love.

The saint was overjoyed and said, "If this matter is done--"

As he spoke, he looked at Empress He who was still crying and snorted coldly.

Yang Kezheng sighed lightly, she was a little pitiful now.

*******

On the other hand, Wang Pu, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, left the palace city.

Today, Hanyuan Hall presented a banquet, and dozens of people were present. After drinking too much, they all felt admiration.

Some people wrote poems on the spot, some sang and cried bitterly, and some people drank cup after cup.

Wang Pu comforted the saint a few words, wrote another poem about the rejuvenation, and then hurriedly said goodbye, took a team of honor guards, and went to Weizhou to pass the imperial edict.

When he left Luoyang's east gate, Wang Pu subconsciously looked up.

Luoyang's outer city does not include palace cities, imperial cities, and Shendu Gardens, and 69 miles acres around 200 steps. However, the outer city of the western capital Chang'an is only 67 miles acres around. As for the outer city where the people live, Luoyang and Chang'an are of the same level, and are even slightly larger.

The progress of the construction of the city wall is not slow. The three city gates in Yongtong, Jianchun, Shangdong have been repaired, and the walls have been completed, and they are 18 feet high. It’s not that I don’t want to build them, but it’s unnecessary. Luoyang City is too big and difficult to defend. If an enemy really attacks, I will defend the imperial city directly. The palace city is better, and the wall is 48 feet high.

There is a canal on the south side of the upper east gate, and ships will continue to enter. The cabin is full of grain, all of which are summer taxes paid by the states in Henan, and are ready to be stored in Hanjiacang City.

This city can store up to nearly 6 million hu of grain, which will restore part of it. The reserves have exceeded one million, and there are actually about 600,000 hu of grain.

"Oh! I had no choice but to do so." Wang Pu murmured in his heart: "If Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong enter Luoyang, I will die in the country? He gave it to King Xia - there were too many."

Wang Pu was born into the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Li Keyong did not have any obvious disgust towards the aristocratic families, but he would not deliberately win over them. He had his own basic foundation, namely the Beiwuren Group. In terms of civil officials, he also used the shogunate system left by Zheng Cong-sei back then, plus the children of Xiwen from local military academy families in Hedong who were promoted in the past ten years.

Zhu Quanzhong's former shogunate in Bianzhou was even worse. He was mostly a down-and-out scholar and scholar from small families. The only one of the truly high-end families was Xiao Fu, and the environment was even worse than that of Jinyang.

The King of Xia cooperated with the aristocratic family the most in-depth.

The Xiao family, Pei family, Feng family, Zhao family and other families recruited talents for him, managed local areas and developed production, and worked very hard.

Since the difficulties, the aristocratic family has become so weak that hundreds or thousands of people live together, and the scene of sacrifices together is almost impossible to see. If King Xia is evil, Wang Pu would probably have to break it into pieces and survive in the state of a small family.

After sighing for a long time, Wang Pu no longer stayed, passed Jirun Station, and then turned north.

He took the road in Heyang, that is, crossing the river in three cities of Heyang, then crossing the four counties of Wen, Wuzhi, Huojia, Xinxiang, and to Weizhou Lisuoji County. The whole journey was less than 390 miles. The light car was just a simple way, and it arrived in seven or eight days.

When crossing the mountain, Wang Pu turned around and looked at the foot of the mountain.

It was almost evening, and two counties in Luoyang and Henan were bathing in the sunset. The fields had been harvested, and every household was preparing to sow winter wheat in autumn.

Smoke curled in the village, cattle and sheep were still eating grass in the grass, and children played in the woods, filled with joy.

Suddenly, Wang Pu felt less guilty in his heart.

The King of Xia has the merit of reassuring the people. This merit is unparalleled and the saints cannot reward them, so they can only abdicate and give way to the wise.

It’s not because I’m greedy for life and fear of death, but I’m also for the sake of the people of the world.

*******

Shao Shude has arrived in Wei County, which is closer to the front line and can get news faster.

In fact, the large-scale battle has not yet begun. The reason is that the Master is seriously insufficient and no one transports food, equipment, and supplies to the front line. You can't let the soldier transport it by himself, right?

This kind of destruction was also caused by Shao Shude himself. In order to gain a good reputation, he let a large number of Masters go back to his hometown to harvest summer food. After the summer food, there will be autumn soaring, which is too delayed, so that the soldiers of each army can only consume the past savings.

However, not every household needs to harvest in summer or sow in autumn. Under the three-year ripening system, some people harvest in summer and sow in autumn, while others sow in spring and harvest in autumn. Therefore, the second batch of Masters collected were almost on the front line, with a population of 200,000.

There are still 200,000 masters on the front line, with a total of 400,000 people serving more than 100,000 troops. This battle is really spent regardless of victory or defeat.

Burn money!

However, if the southern section of Yongji Canal was not so silted, things might be much simpler and the consumption would not be that much.

The Wei army also noticed the signal of the Xia army's rest and rest, so within the past twenty days, they launched a massive attack. They attacked from Neihuang and fought against the Tianxiong Army at the north of Liyang. They were defeated and retracted Neihuang and did not move any more.

On the northern front, Lu Huaizhong, the governor of Taining Army and the defense envoy of the five prefectures of Xingming and Maxixiangwei, sent more than 10,000 generals to enter Beizhou east. The bandit army defended the empty space, and the Xia army was directly in Qinghe. The two sides fought at Guoxia. The bandit army was defeated and retreated to Beizhou City to defend and did not dare to attack.

Through these two battles, Shao Shude has figured out the current state of the enemy and our army.

After Xing Mingci defeated the Jin army, the morale of Wuwei and the generals and the army was extremely high, and their combat effectiveness had improved significantly than before. Before this morale was worn away, you might have achieved good results.

The Tianxiong Army on the southern front is already more capable of fighting. The combat power is not as strong as that of Wuwei, generals and other troops. With them, Shao Shude was not worried about being attacked by others and riding alone to avoid being avoided.

In the direction of Bozhou, after the Yi army's right wing was completed, he would also lead the soldiers of the provinces and prefectures to head north again to attack Bozhou.

If there are many soldiers, you must give full play to your strength advantages. The best way to give full play to your strength advantages is to divide your troops into different lines and put pressure on the enemy from all directions, making them exhausted and struggling, and eventually revealing flaws.

The strategy has been decided, and now we will wait until the material reserves are completed and a large-scale attack will be launched.

"Your Highness, there is news coming in Luoyang." Li Yixian took a look at him quietly, and saw that Shao Shude was idle, he slowly stepped forward and handed over a military newspaper.

Shao Shude picked it up and looked at it, feeling a little amused. Why did so many people report to me recently? If this happens, what if the show can't continue?

A saint is also a worry-free person, and there is no need to count at all.

Judging from his actions in history, he has not yet taken responsibility. He is very good at playing, but he loves to play. If he fails, he will push some so-called loyal ministers to take the blame. Prime Minister Wei Zhaodu and Du Rangneng paid for his wrong decisions one after another and died of unlawful death. If Zhang Jun had not had any connections outside, he would have run away with a bucket and was sentenced to death for attacking Hedong.

The Tang Dynasty has made great contributions to the current situation, and the late emperor and the current emperor have made great contributions.
