Chapter 40 The Daily Life of a Saint(2/2)
After talking about these things, the sage ordered some snacks to be served and a new pot of tea.
As a prime minister, of course you get this kind of treatment. He's not your servant, so he should be treated with extra courtesy.
This was considered a break after the conversation. The three of them talked about the harvests from various places in Guannai Road this year. Fortunately, it was not a smooth harvest, but the harvests were not bad.
"Speaking of Shengzhou, Shao Shude, the king of Lingwu County, will leave Shengzhou and go south to Guanzhong in October..." Wei Zhaodu seemed to say casually, provoking a new topic.
The saint's heart trembled.
He still remembered the disaster that year, when Jingshi Baocheng was defeated by Xia Bing. Later, he sent the good concubine Pei to secretly contact Shao Shude, but she did not act secretly. Ximen Zhongsui captured him halfway and was executed secretly, which made him hurry up.
Clear the relationship.
He felt very guilty for Mr. Pei and even wrote a poem in memory of him.
Cui Zhaowei coughed and said: "Your Majesty, Shude has announced that this year we will send tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and miscellaneous animals to the four towns of Shayuan, Pi, Xiang, Tang and Qi. We must make a decision early."
The saint was upset and rebuked: "Cui Qing thinks that the imperial court is a beggar? Zhe Zong was originally the commander of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhe Si Lun was the commander of the Qi Dynasty. They are both members of the same family and have two degrees, and they are still virtuous in-laws. Zhao Kuangning has always been respectful,
With constant offerings from the Lord, An has to live in three states? How can I treat my loyal ministers and virtuous people so harshly?"
"Your Majesty..." Wei Zhaodu felt that the conflict with Shao Shude should not be intensified at this time. It was a fait accompli. What else could he do if he did not admit it?
So he advised: "I judge the three divisions, and the towns on the Guan Nei Road are very diligent in providing services and have never stopped. Shuofang, Weibei, Huazhou, Jinshang, Xingning, Jingyuan, Fengxiang, Hexi, Longyou..."
"Don't mention Hexi, Longyou!" The saint was a little angry.
The two prime ministers did not serve as good court officials, so one left for Hezhou and the other for Liangzhou, which hurt his self-esteem.
Especially that Xiao Yu!
The two brothers wrote many poems about Hehuang, in which they repeatedly mentioned "flying generals" and "divine generals". Who are they praising?
Xiao Yu even sent his biological daughter to Shao Shude to serve him, and he was ashamed!
With Xiao's status and talents, she should be the emperor's concubine. How can she serve such a vulgar warrior who doesn't understand the style?
Du Rangneng is not a pure minister! Is this what Du Ruhui’s descendants are?
"Your Majesty, the Palace Supervisor of Ximen is here." Mrs. Yang Kezhen of Xinqin County came in to report.
The three of them were shocked.
Yang Kezheng looked at his words and expressions and sighed secretly.
Just now he was impassioned and had every pearl of wisdom in his grasp, but when Privy Envoy Beisi arrived, he immediately missed the point.
