Chapter 7 Chapter Seven Layout

The founding ceremony of the Western Xia Dynasty was actually more grand than the previous proclaiming 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, but the two Song and Liao The big country did not send envoys this time. There are six bureaus of officials, households, rituals, soldiers, and criminals, all of which have set up ministers.Xiao Yan is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Xu Xuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but these two people are still using pseudonyms. Yang Hao cannot establish a real equal status with Zhao Guangyi for a day, and their real identities should not be exposed. He had been working with Yang Hao before succeeding the Jiedushi of the Dingnan Army, and he used the pseudonym he was using now, so no one had any doubts about it.

Since this is the name that started at the end of the century, and now holds a high position, the original fictitious identity is naturally taken seriously. In that era, there were no movies, TVs, cameras, and newspapers. Although the two are well-known in Jiangnan, their true identity People who recognize their faces will not appear here, so the identities of the two will not be leaked. Yang Hao established the country and conferred positions and generals. Although it has been weighed and weighed in advance, in order to make a bowl of water level, but this bowl of water is level. Everyone has a different opinion. When it comes down, some people will be happy and some will be sad.For example, Fan Siqi became the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Yang Jiye returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Lin Pengyu was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. These people did not doubt their positions.

It was even more unexpected joy for him to be awarded the Minister of Industry by Li Xingde, a skilled craftsman.People like Mu En, Mu Kui and others feel satisfied when they are awarded the post of former military governor and rear military governor.There is no objection to the fact that such a respected and respected family as Zhang Chengxian of Shazhou granted a high-ranking official position such as Taishi and Taifu without real power. The most disappointed thing is that except for some nobles in the Tuoba clan who thought they would be reused. In fact, among the members of the Tuoba clan, Yang Hao also vigorously promoted some people, mainly young generals such as Ono Keer and Tuoba Haofeng who followed him in the South and North Wars. Important positions, but because they have been officials for generations, they have become a family of officials and eunuchs. Their ethnic group has neither too much power nor the Tuoba hereditary nobles who have made no achievements in Jingbangwei. Yang Hao knew that these people would be dissatisfied. However, if he did not make great efforts to completely squeeze out these idlers who were sitting on vegetarian meals, 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 have already drifted away from Yang Hao's power core, and after moving the capital, they have left their base. The influence they can exert on Yang Hao is very limited, so even though they are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do for a while.However, at the end of the grand ceremony, the discordant scene between Zhang Pu, the governor of the five armies, and Zhong Fang, the cabinet scholar, when all the officials retired gave them a glimmer of hope. At the end of the ceremony, hundreds of officials withdrew from the imperial court, and Zhang Pu, the governor of the five armies, withdrew from the court. Many officials and generals, especially those from the former Yinzhou Department and Dingnan Army Department, stepped forward to congratulate: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhang. The commander-in-chief of the army can be said to be the number one military general in my dynasty."

Zhang Pu was not interested, and said with a smirk: "Forget it, what is there to congratulate, I am the governor, I have to discuss with Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of War. As for the right to dispatch troops, it is even more important The cabinet approved it, it’s nothing special, it’s our kind of adults, entrusting the cabinet’s first assistant university scholar, that’s under one person, above ten thousand people, haha..." The teasing in Zhang Pu's words was very strong, and the smiles on the faces of the officials who came to congratulate each other were a little stiff. Zhong Fang was not far away, surrounded by a group of officials to congratulate, although he might not have heard what Zhang Pu said. There is no guarantee that no one will tell him what he said afterwards, who dares to laugh freely at this time?However, the officials, who were already dissatisfied with their positions, smelled something unusual, and their eyes lit up immediately.

What Zhang Pu said made the congratulatory people feel bored, and everyone was about to leave, when Zhong Fang shouted: "Master Zhang, stay a step." He hurried towards Zhang Pu. "My lord Zhang, Huyan Aobo of Longyou Shangboqian has repeatedly invaded our borders, and the Douling garrison lost troops and failed to make an inch of success. A few days ago, the imperial court selected Hengshan Qiang soldiers who are good at climbing mountains and ridges to carry out surprise attacks, but it didn't work. Little Shang Boqian, can you still allow him to be arrogant? My lord, can you come to my residence, and we can discuss the war at Xiaoguandouling together, and share the worry for the king."

Zhang Pu laughed, and said: "Sir, you are a little hard to be my official. This official has been guarding Suzhou, coordinating people from Shaguasu and other states, and I don't know anything about the situation in Xiaoguan area. What can I come up with?" What is the solution? My lord is knowledgeable and skilled in everything. If there is some clever strategy that requires Zhang to be a pawn to charge forward, that Zhang will not even frown. gone." Zhong Fang's face suddenly darkened: "Master Zhang is the commander of the five armies, isn't this a matter of his duty? It seems inappropriate to be so modest?"

Zhang Pu said with a smile: "If a scholar thinks that Zhang's meritorious service is not worthy of being the commander of the five armies, he can impeach the king and remove me from the official position. As for going to the government to ask for advice, I really dare not be. If the king wants Zhang As for dealing with Xiaoguan, after seeing the king's will, Zhang must obey it. Farewell!" Zhang Pu cupped his hands and walked away proudly.Zhong Fang raised his eyebrows, ready to vent his anger, but suddenly turned to Yang Jiye, changed the subject with a few words, and dragged him away.The people who gathered around to congratulate Xi were bored, and naturally dispersed, but those who cared saw this scene, but secretly remembered it in their hearts.

If you want to achieve your own goals, you don't necessarily have to stand out on your own. If someone more powerful than yourself breaks the current rules, then they can get the benefits they want.Looking at the current situation, Chief Governor Zhang is obviously dissatisfied with being under the rank of a great scholar. If Zhang Pu is bewitched to make a fuss and the king is willing to compromise, then he... Now that there are so many eyes and ears, it is natural not to say much, but these people have already thought about it, and they are thinking about it, and they are planning to have more contacts with Chief Governor Zhang in the future.It's always easy for people with the same disease to talk together, even if they can't win more benefits, at least they can be regarded as climbing a big shot, right?


"Officer." As soon as Yang Hao came back, Dong'er, Yanyan and the girls came up to greet him. Today's grand ceremony is really busy, and at the end there is a banquet for the envoys from various countries in the Western Regions. After all the work is over, it is already midnight, and then they can go back to the interior palace.Once a country is established, the rules should be established. However, Yang Hao has made an agreement with his family in advance. When his family is together, he still uses ordinary people's names. He doesn't like the mess between husband and wife, father and son There is a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority, and the family ties of that family are all smeared.

There is a precedent for Zhao Kuangyin's move. Dong'er and Yanyan are not sticklers, so they naturally followed suit.It's just that Yang Hao is more thorough than Zhao Kuangyin. His so-called harem is no different from that of a wealthy family. Many rules in the palace have not been followed, and they have been completely changed. Yang Hao said: "On the first day, the bride gets on the sedan chair. There are always more things to do. It's already very late. Why don't you go to sleep?" Dong'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Isn't this a day of great joy? Is the official drunk? As long as you are fine, I am really tired after sitting for a long time. I will go to bed first. Xueer, Shaner and Xiao Jia will sleep in my room tonight." After Dong'er finished speaking, she left with a smile, Yanyan, Wa'er, and Miaomiao glanced at each other, but their faces suddenly turned a little red.Miaomiao glanced at Yanyan and Wa'er quickly, and said, "The concubine...the concubine has also gone to sleep." "Wait for me." Wa'er was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly chased after her. Yang Hao stopped them from left to right, and stopped them by their slender waists, and said with a smile: "You all don't have to go, isn't that bed in Yanyan room not big enough?" Wawa and Miaomiao blushed together: "Officer...", but Yanyan gave him a hard look, and ran away blushing. When the clouds harvested the rain, the red candles in the room were already short, and the table was full of candle tears, and the embroidered couch was covered with jade bodies, pink and light, fragrant and charming. "Oh... oh oh..." In the distance, a rooster crowed. Curling up in Yang Hao's arms like a doll, she suddenly burst out laughing. Yang Hao played with her bright red chicken head, and said lazily, "What are you laughing at?" The baby winked at him, glanced at him, and said charmingly: "Your Majesty has been absurd all night, and the sky is bright. This is really 'the spring night is bitter, the day is high, and the king will not go to court early'." Yang Hao couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this three days in Daqing, or..." He suddenly remembered something, so he turned over and changed to lying on his back. The doll moved a bit, but it was still clinging tightly to him, and Miao Miao on the other side immediately snuggled up to her naked. They leaned close to Yang Hao, and each of them put their snow-white thighs on his body.Only Yanyan, the first girl who couldn't bear to beg for mercy, rolled to the corner of the big bed, wrapped a big quilt all over her body, lay on her side like a bow, and slept soundly.Fortunately, this room is equipped with an earth dragon, a heating bed, and a fire wall, which is as warm as early summer, and all three of them have kung fu, so they are not afraid of catching cold. Yang Hao said: "I remembered what you said. Zhong Fang asked me, how many days will my country go to court in the morning, and when will the court meeting be scheduled? I haven't decided yet, um, I have to decide first..." Yang Hao thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "That's it, it's settled in the morning on the fifth day, and the morning will be set at Chenshi." Speaking of the early dynasty, Yang Hao couldn't help secretly rejoicing that it was the Song Dynasty. If it was the Ming and Qing Dynasties..., it would be too scary.From the Han Dynasty until the Song Dynasty, the early dynasties were basically every three days or every five days. Although the time of the early dynasties was early and late, the difference was not too big.It wasn't until the Ming Dynasty that the workaholic Mr. Zhu sat in the world, and it was almost every morning. Those ministers lived in different places. Lao Zhu came to the 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 every day. It was an endless torture. Get up every night in the middle of the night and ask for retirement.There was a minister named Qian Zai who wrote a poem specifically for this. The poem said: "Through the four drums, I put on my clothes, and it is too late to meet at the Meridian Gate. When can I enjoy the pastoral pleasure and sleep until the food is cooked?" Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyiwei was everywhere, so he immediately copied this poem to the emperor. When he went to court the next day, old Comrade Zhu said to him: "Your poem rhymes with the same pattern, and it is very well written, but I don't dislike you. It's late, how about changing the word 'dislike' into the word 'worry'?" Qian Zai was so frightened that he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.Probably the children of Old Zhu's family were a bit rebellious, so Lao Zhu never tired of going to court every day, so there were a few of his descendants who did not go to court every day, or even for decades. "Our country is newly established, and there is a dynasty every five days. Will it be less, or is it a dynasty every three days?" Although Miaomiao wished that Yang Hao would stay with them for a while longer, she also knew which was more important, so she couldn't help but said worriedly. Yang Haodao: "Official documents are submitted every day. If there are important events, the cabinet must report them. Why are they so frequent in the morning? Everyone is so tossed about." Yang Hao is quite disapproving. Modern society has more and more busy affairs than ancient times. I have never seen any head of state call the State Council, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Justice, military commander, etc. to sit in a row. , eat fruit?Yang Hao felt that since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the five-day imperial court was enough when the efficiency of the government's operation could be guaranteed. Miaomiao said: "But..." Yang Hao woke up suddenly, stretched out his hand and patted her buttocks, pretended to be angry and said: "I forgot the three chapters of the agreement between you and me, and you must not interfere in the affairs of the country, huh?" His slap was not heavy, but Miaomiao's snowy buttocks were as smooth as creamy fat, as shiny as egg whites, and as tender as tofu, this slap was not heavy, but the silky smooth spot also had a tinge of red.Miao Miao reluctantly said: "I know the crime, but I just want to..." Yang Hao said: "I know that you have good intentions, and there is nothing excessive about your words. However, this is the experience summed up by the rise and fall of many dynasties. It is always necessary to guard against the passing of time. A country must have There is a certain system and order, and the family of the emperor is a person with a transcendent status in this country, but they are not the people 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 outrageous things, and I also believe that you will not do outrageous things, but once you interfere too much, the people around you will slowly get involved, and things will gradually change. Get out of your way.Besides, our children may not be as lucky as me when they grow up in the future. To marry a woman who is as intelligent and sensible as you are, we have to lay the groundwork for our children, right? " Miaomiao burst into laughter, bit her lips and nodded, she looked soft and timid, I felt pity, Yang Hao felt pity, he couldn't help pecking her cherry lips, and said with a smile: "Today anyway It's already late, let's just be completely absurd." Saying that, she turned over and fell on top of her, Miaomiao immediately begged for mercy: "My family is weak and embarrassing, I beg you to be merciful..." Yang Hao turned to look at the baby, and the baby was startled, and quickly waved: "Don't look for me, don't look for me." Yanyan woke up leisurely, opened his sleepy eyes, sat up cross-legged, wrapped his body in the quilt with his arms like Bai Ou, yawned, and then asked the faintly heard topic just now: "What child, who?" child?" Yanyan just woke up, slept soundly after a good night's sleep after being nourished by clouds and rain, but at this time she still looked delicate and weak, her cheeks were as red as a pair of baby peaches, and her eyes seemed to be open and closed, misty.The waterfall-like hair fell messily on the snowy neck and crisp chest, making the skin whiter than the snow, pink and jade-carved. As soon as she opened her sleepy eyes, she saw Yang Hao's narrow smiling face in front of her: "My husband said, I will use these three days of vacation, work hard, and give you the cutest child." Saying that, a pair of big hands tore off the quilt on her body, and the seductive pink buttocks flashed, and then the two of them merged into one...
"Look at you, how old you are, you don't know restraint, you just want Yanyan to serve you, why is it so ridiculous, what can you do if your body is broken?" Dong'er warmed up a bowl of well-boiled japonica rice porridge, put it beside Yang Hao, and said with a dazed face.Yang Hao smiled and said, "It's just these two days, I'm going to rest too, relax, by the way, you have to start arranging everything you need to do, right?" "Yeah!" Dong'er sat down beside him, and while sweetly watching her husband gorge on the porridge she prepared herself, she said, "We started to build the palace and various yamen, and hired a lot of people who lost their homes because of the war." Common people, these people have no livelihood, and earn wages by building buildings. Finally, they did not die of freezing and starvation in this cold winter. Li Xing has been informed by Zhongfang, and next, they will be asked to build the mansions of the officials. Once it’s finished, it will be next winter anyway.” Yang Hao took a mouthful of fragrant pickles, nodded and said: "Well, these things are mainly left to Li Yuchang and those people. We can't completely rely on Jisitang. It's better to train local craftsmen. After a year or two, these people In construction, most of them can start to master some skills from being in charge of rough and simple folks, and then let them build inns, restaurants, pawnshops... The more Hexi develops, the more cities there will be, and the construction will continue. Get up, there can be some people who specialize in these things." "The same is true for the rest of the industry. Yanzhou's salt industry is well developed, Xiazhou's iron smelting industry is well-developed in smelting and foundry, and the area around Tanliang City is well-developed in agriculture. As for Ganzhou, various handicraft industries, fur processing industries, etc. 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 bother so much. Since the housekeeper is unreliable, wouldn't giving him another official position not be able to play tricks? That's good. Put him by your side." I got someone's eyeliner, and I need to send you a message for something. By the way, Zhejia... when are you leaving?" Yang Hao paused and said, "Tomorrow." "Then... what about Ziyu?" Yang Hao smiled wryly and said, "It's also tomorrow." The corners of Dong'er's mouth curled up slightly, and she said with a half-smile: "Since you want to be a fool, why don't you do it thoroughly, so that you forcefully admit her into the palace, who would dare to stop you?" Yang Hao said with a smile: "It's not okay to faint too much all of a sudden. In my current state, I only need to do two things. One is to start to exclude dissidents and suppress those who can pose a threat to me. Do my best Possibility to centralize power. The second is to be complacent, not to make progress, and to be self-sufficient while sitting in Hexi. This first, every founding emperor would do it. I did it, which is reasonable for Zhao officials, and I didn’t do it well. , It was an unexpected joy. As for the second item, I have no ambitions in the first place, and it is normal in the eyes of the Zhao family, if I have too many actions at once, it will be too much." "You, you're just a big villain with a weak face, then... After dinner, go and see her." Yang Hao nodded: "Well, I'll be there in a while."
