Chapter 1014: A single move affects the entire body
The surrendered officials from Liangzhou stayed in Xiaoguan for three days.

Day 1 night: Drinking.

Day 2: Hunting and barbecue.

Day 3: Military training and work arrangements.

After a series of events, most of the dozens of officials who surrendered from Liangzhou were employed.

The Chief Clerk Fan Yu was appointed as the Minister of the Imperial Household (fourth rank), the Left Sima Yin Yuan was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat (fourth rank), and the Right Sima Han Pu was appointed as the General of Ningyuan (fourth rank) and the Prefect of Zhangye.

Among the three chief officials of the shogunate, one served as a close minister to the emperor, one served as an assistant to the cabinet, and one served as the prefect of Zhangye with the rank of a fourth-rank general. Overall, it was a good situation.

Yin Dan, who had previously come to the emperor to present the beauty of Loulan, was transferred to be the governor of Xihai (fifth rank).

Yin Jian, the deputy governor of Liangzhou, was appointed as the deputy governor of Yanzhou.

Wei Jin, a clerk of the bandit group, returned to his hometown and served as the governor of Gaochang.

Yan Ding was appointed as the deputy governor of Liangzhou, Jia Zhuang as the magistrate of Guzang, and Tian Mao, the prefect of Xihe, as the prefect of Wuwei.

Yang Xuan, who had already resigned, was noticed by Shao Xun, who appointed him as the governor of Yingchuan. It was up to him whether he would come or not.

Song Xian, who had been living in seclusion in the Nanshan Mountains of Jiuquan, was recruited to teach at the Imperial Academy, but he also - did not come to see him.

The rest of the people have their own duties.

Simply put, the main victims were the Zhang family and their diehards, as well as those who accidentally stood on the wrong side in the war.

After the arrangements were made, the people in Liangzhou were very happy.

The news that had been circulating before turned out to be true. It was worth it that they had been passive throughout the war and had not fought desperately. Now they had been rewarded.

The Emperor of Daliang is already wise and powerful enough, but the world cannot be changed by him alone in a short period of time. In the end, he still has to employ people like them.

After arranging these people, on May 23, the leaders of the Hu people in Liangzhou arrived one after another.

Shao Xun had a banquet with him as usual, during which he received news from Zhangye and Jiuquan: the military discipline of Liu Lugu, the general of Dai State who guards the east, was extremely poor, and the soldiers were looting everywhere, causing great suffering to Zhangye and Jiuquan counties.

Wang Que'er ordered Wang Feng, the prime minister of Dai State, to lead the people to capture and kill the rebel soldiers, but they were defeated by Liu Lugu.

The news stops here.

Of course, there was also the factor that Wang Que'er did not dare to make the decision.

This is his personality. If it were Jin Zheng, he would probably execute first and report later.

But Wang Que'er was quite clear about the pros and cons. He did not have the authority, or he thought he did not have the authority, to do something earth-shattering: such as gathering troops to encircle and suppress Liu Lugu.

"Que'er, oh Que'er, it's already this time, why think so much!" Shao Xun sighed and said, "Some people are ambitious and they must be punished. Today, I have the northern land, what do I have to fear?"

After that, he called Yifu Mohe, the leader of Yifu tribe, and Zheju Mulu, the leader of Zheju tribe, to come closer and asked, "Liu Lugu is looting on a large scale. Have your tribes been harmed by him?"

"Your Majesty." The two men bowed to the ground and said loudly: "From Liangcha City to Zhangye County in the south, the Tuoba clan has been plundering diligently, leaving no one alive. The various tribes have suffered great losses, and some have even threatened to go to Qinghai."

"Qinghai?" Shao Xun was stunned.

Yifu Mohe thought that he did not know where Qinghai was, so he said, "It is the 'Beihe Qiang Sea' during the Han Dynasty. The Xianbei tribes called it 'Qinghai' because the sea is blue in color."

During the Western Han Dynasty, it was called "Beihe Qianghai", named after the local tribe.

During the reign of Wang Mang, it was renamed "West Sea" purely for the sake of symmetry between east, west, south and north, but it was not popular.

By the Western Jin Dynasty, because of the existence of "Xi Hai County", it was renamed "Xianhai", another name during the Han Dynasty, or simply borrowed the name "Qinghai" from the locals - by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the name Qinghai was basically fixed.

"Nonsense!" Shao Xun said, "Since you have not surrendered, Liu Lu's loneliness is understandable. Now that you have surrendered, you are the children of Daliang, and no one can harm you. I will take care of this matter for you."

Yifu Mohe and Zheju Mulutou looked at each other, both somewhat unbelieving.

During the Jin Dynasty, they were plundered by the Tuoba Xianbei in the south, and the imperial court basically ignored it.

Now that it has been intercepted by Tuoba Xianbei, will the new dynasty of Daliang care?
After hearing this, the other tribal leaders stopped talking and laughing and all looked at Shao Xun.

The leaders of grassland tribes were originally evolved from judges and arbitrators, which shows how important it is to be a judge.

If you do not mediate their conflicts and stop the restless ones from annexing and attacking their neighbors, then you will have no prestige and will not be qualified to lead them.

On the contrary, if you can really make decisions for them, act fairly, and arbitrate disputes, then you will have prestige.

Now everyone is waiting to see how Shao Xun will deal with it.

Tufa Tuijin felt his heart tighten even more.

He did a lot of bullying of neighbors, otherwise how could he have built up such a big power? The dozen or so tribes of the Tuoba Xianbei basically listened to him. The Tuoba clan was the de facto leader of the alliance, just like the Tuoba clan in the past.

If Emperor Liang strictly prohibits tribes from attacking each other, then he needs to seriously consider whether to join Liang - of course, the Liang people are now powerful and he needs to lie low and avoid the limelight.

"Mr. Liu." Shao Xun looked at the Minister of the Court Liu Runzhong and waved.

"Your Majesty." Liu Runzhong stood up and saluted.

"You are to take the imperial edict and go west immediately to convey my order to strip Liu Lugu of his official duties and bring him here for questioning." Shao Xun ordered, "Take the Luoyan Army with you and command it."

"I obey your order." Liu Runzhong said happily.

There was no other reason for his great joy, but rather that the emperor was broad-minded and truly treated him as his own.

Some people appointed Hu officials, but in fact they were just acknowledging the facts and letting them become local officials in their own tribes.

Some people appointed Hu generals only because they were impressed by the strength of the Hu chieftains, gave them a title and let them lead their own troops.

The emperor allowed him to be summoned by the angel and even command the imperial guards. What does this mean? It means that the Hu people can also be officials in the Daliang Dynasty, instead of being restricted to being local officials in a certain place or region.

"Appoint Fengyi Governor You Ziyuan as Guangwu Governor and concurrently command Hehui Town." Shao Xun continued, "Help me complete this matter and then return."

"Yes, sir." Liu Runzhong replied.

After giving the order, Shao Xun left the table and called Liang Fen, asking him to send someone on horseback to Pingcheng.

Dealing with Liu Lugu is not that easy as it affects the entire body.

At this time, people with discerning eyes also figured out something.

The emperor might have wanted to take action against Liu Lugu a long time ago, but he had been delaying until now. Now that Liangzhou has surrendered, it is a good opportunity to take action.

If Liu Lugu surrendered, he might be able to save his life, but the leader of the Dugu tribe would have to be replaced, maybe his son, maybe his uncle or nephew, or even an outsider.

If he was unwilling to surrender, then everything would be over. On the 25th, after staying in Xiaoguan for a long time, Shao Xun accepted the advice of his ministers and headed northwest towards the Yellow River to pacify the tribes.

On the first day of the intercalary fifth month, the army arrived at Damachuan (now Dalachi).

On the fourth day, he ordered that the place where he was located be established as Zuli County (now Huining), which had been abandoned in the early Jin Dynasty, and be under the jurisdiction of Anding County.

At this time, he received another news from the south.

******
After Sima Rui became emperor, the prefect of Danyang was renamed the Yin of Danyang, and the first Yin of Danyang was no surprise: Shan Wei, the grandson of Shan Tao and the son of Shan Gai.

After Liu Kun left, Du Yi, the county magistrate who had served as the prefect of Danyang for some time, handed over his seal and became a subordinate of Shan Weishan Yanzu.

Shan Wei still trusts him quite a bit.

On May 20th, the two of them rode in the same carriage and entered the East Palace to meet the prince - unknowingly, he became a member of the "Prince's Party".

The East Palace was newly built and located within Taicheng.

Well, Taicheng is also newly built and is still under construction. The reason why it is called this name is that Jianye did not have any outer city or palace city at all. Originally, everyone worked in the gardens of Dongwu. But when the emperor (Sima Rui) ascended the throne, he built a palace city on the original site of the gardens. And because the important officials of the court worked here, it was called "Taicheng".

The East Palace is located on the eastern edge of Taicheng. As for the current situation -

After the carriage stopped, Du Yi stepped into knee-high weeds.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He was used to it, wasn't he?

Prime Minister Wang Dao’s office hasn’t even been built yet, and the roof of the gatehouse is still covered with thatch, so we’re going to build the Eastern Palace for the Crown Prince first?

No, the current emperor is courteous to his ministers and will not do that.

After they walked for dozens of steps, they saw an area surrounded by a fence. That was the territory of the East Palace.

The guards of the Eastern Palace were standing at the door. After reporting to them, they were let in.

"Come quickly, Yanzu. We have a pork today. It's a treat." The newly appointed Northern Army Lieutenant General Shan Xiashan Yanlin smiled and waved from a distance.

Shan Wei laughed when he heard this.

Jianye was so poor that even if the officials embezzled money, they would only get a few hundred pieces of cloth.

It's still okay now.

When he first crossed the river, he got a pig and shared it among his ministers, which led to the creation of the term "forbidden meat".

Of course, this does not mean that the officials themselves are poor.

In fact, Wang Dao's family was very rich and his manor was very large.

The poor ones are the former shogunate and the current imperial court. They cannot collect much taxes and have to rely on the help of the big families in Jiangdong. What can they do?

"Where is the prince?" Shan Wei asked.

"I'm sulking." Shan Xia said in a low voice.

"Why?"

"The idea of ​​Prince Langya (Sima Chong) going on a tour to the north was rejected, but instead they wanted the crown prince to go north."

"Who did it?" Shan Wei asked in surprise.

"Who else could it be? Concubine Shi." Shan Xia said.

After saying this, he could not help but sigh: "With the country in such a state, there is still internal strife. It's really - oh!"

"Yanlin, be careful with your words." Shan Wei turned his head to look at Du Yi and said in a low voice.

Du Yi smiled foolishly, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Shi Jieyu" was originally the wife of the Prince of Langya (actually a concubine).

After Princess Zheng Achun passed away, the emperor intended to enthrone her as queen.

Wang Dao wrote a letter to advise against it, saying that this move was against propriety and law, and the matter is now at a standstill.

But Jieyu Shi was already the de facto mistress of the harem, and her son Chong was named King of Langya. He was also eyeing the position of crown prince. After all, it was too late for the emperor to marry a second wife, and the crown prince had already been appointed by that time. The apparent legitimate son (the second son born to Zheng Achun) had not been made crown prince, so this meant that everyone had a chance.

Crown Prince Sima Fei (whose biological mother was a palace maid named Xun, who had remarried) also regarded Langya King Sima Chong as his biggest rival because he was already an adult.

That's what happened.

Considering the recent calls to make the legitimate son the crown prince, Du Yi felt that the situation had become even more complicated and it would be best not to get involved - and he had the confidence to do so.

After Shan Xia and Shan Wei finished their conversation, they were led by the eunuchs into a slightly shabby courtyard.

Crown Princess Shan was directing the palace servants to pick vegetables from the garden. When she saw the three people, she bowed.

"Why do you have to do this, sister?" Shan Wei said first, "Sister is the ruler and brother is the subject. You should perform the ceremony for brother."

In fact, Shan was their cousin, but in order to show their closeness, both of them called her sister. Anyway, this branch of the Shan family didn't have many relatives - if you really want to talk about it, there are actually some, because Yang Man, the pseudo-Liang Shizhong, and Yang Dan, the Yinmi Town General, were both uncles of the Crown Princess.

"Rituals cannot be abolished," Shan insisted.

Then she smoothed her hair by her ears and said, "We just moved here, so the palace is quite messy. You are all my husband's close ministers, so please bear with me."

"We are all family." Shan Wei smiled.

After looking around, he felt a little sad and said, "My sister has had a very hard life. Tomorrow, send someone to bring some daily necessities over."

There is actually a vegetable patch in the courtyard. I heard that my sister personally led the palace servants to plant the vegetables.

After nightfall, my sister still had to mend clothes by herself and even copy documents for the prince. It was really too hard.

Of course, the factor of earning a reputation for being virtuous cannot be ruled out, but the shortage of staff and funds is also a reality.

After hearing what her brother said, Shan picked vegetables swiftly while saying, "Your Majesty intends to march north, but money and food are in short supply. I can earn my living in the palace. If Danyang has any gold and silk, you can send it to the camp to support your majesty's cause."

Shan Wei and Shan Xia looked at each other and sighed.

At this time, the Crown Prince Sima Fei came out and said, "You three have come at the right time. His Majesty has ordered me to lead the officials of the Eastern Palace to cross the river and head north."

Having said this, his face turned pale and he looked like he was about to cry.

"Shao the thief has caused me so much trouble!" He finally sighed, "Don't just stand there, let's discuss how to get through this difficult time."
