Guo Shao took the things presented by Lu Duosun and retreated to Yangde Hall.
At this time, in Yangde Hall, a woman in her thirties was holding an inkstone in both hands.
When Guo Shao wanted to dip ink, she could raise the inkstone in time and reach it to his hand.
Because she always pays attention to Guo Shao's subtle moves and can judge when he needs what he needs.
This woman was Li Shanggong. Her light red long skirt fell on the floor, covering her lower body, and her legs were kneeling on the ground.
Although she didn't dare to keep staring at Guo Shao's face, she kept observing Guo Shao's expression in her eyes.
Guo Shao was very attentive, only the pictures in front of him and the wrinkled paper placed beside him, and he turned a blind eye to everything.
Li Shanggong's arms were soft and his knees hurt, but there was another feeling that made her feel very comfortable.
She likes to see Guo Shao's serious and focused look, and there is a breath on him that makes Li Shanggong feel very good.
From time to time, she carefully peeked at the things that Guo Shao painted, with mountains and rivers. Li Shanggong didn't understand it very well, but knew that Guo Shao was thinking about the big things... Anyway, it was completely different from the cheesy trivial matters in the palace.
She looked up to Guo Shao in her heart, and felt that he was very laborious and inexplicably developed a love heart.
...At this moment, Guo Shao looked at Li Shanggong sideways and said in a daze: Are you tired of kneeling?Get up quickly.
Li Shanggong blurted out: I am willing to serve Your Majesty in my body and mind...
After saying that, her face turned red and she turned her head gently.
Guo Shao followed her gaze, and there were three men standing beside him, Wang Pu, Li Gu and Zuo You.
But they were all serious as if they didn't hear anything and saw nothing.
Guo Shao put the brush on the inkstone and said: It was not easy for Lu Duosun to make contributions. He asked him to be a guest provincial envoy and went to the study of the cabinet to add another assistant to the government; the guest provincial envoy, Zan Jurun, was changed to the Minister of the Ministry of Works, and was still in charge of military equipment. He also came to the cabinet to add another assistant to the government.
Zuo You hurriedly said: Look.
The other two didn't say anything because the cabinet organization was added by Guo Shao not long ago and had not yet formed a formal pattern. Now I don't know what government office is under the jurisdiction of the yamen. Anyway, neither the Privy Council nor the Political Affairs Hall are in charge.
Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: I want Zuo You to be appointed as Minister of Rites and Huang Binglian to be appointed as Minister of Justice.Mr. Li (Li Gu) asked in the Political Affairs Hall, and if everyone felt that nothing was wrong, they would do these things.
Li Gudao: I obey the order.
Zuo You hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed: I thank Your Majesty for your kindness.
Guo Shao said: The government affairs hall has always been short of people, and the officials are too tired.It is also a good thing for you two to help the prime ministers do something.
He said again: This picture needs to be repaired, you will come again tomorrow.
After hearing this, the three of them bowed: I will leave.
They left Yangde Hall and walked to a corridor. Li Gu said, "Congratulations to the Left Minister Gao Sheng!"
Zuo You hurriedly said: Wherever you are.We should congratulate Huang Fuzheng (Huang Binglian). Huang Fuzheng has really been promoted.The Xiaguan was originally the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and was changed to the Minister of Rites. Even if he was transferred to the position, how could he receive congratulations from Duke Li...
Wang Pu raised his head and said suddenly in front of him: It's just a matter of the same party.
Zuo You immediately stopped talking. When he looked at Li Gu, Li Gu smiled and stopped talking.
The three of them continued to move forward, Zuo You kept thinking in his mind that the arrangement that the emperor had put on lightly just now was really meaningful... As Wang Pu said, Zuo You and Huang Binglian were appointed as assistant ministers of the cabinet and the six ministers. If there was another Tongpingzhang incident, what was the difference between it and the prime minister?
The emperor seemed to have arranged the two of them as prime ministers at the beginning.
Guo Shao really needs the prime minister.
After Feng Dao died, there were only three prime ministers left in the court, Wang Pu, Li Gu and Fan Zhi, and Fan Zhi also made trouble for the emperor from time to time.
The prime minister cannot be promoted by just being a person, and most people cannot control all officials.
To add to the prime minister, a person like Zuo You who is trusted by the emperor and is familiar with memorials and government affairs in the cabinet is indeed the best candidate.
When Zuo You thought of this, his eyes became even more vivid.
However, he still looked humble and serious, trying hard to restrain himself from expressing his excitement.
Zuo You thought to himself: If you want to be the prime minister, of course you must be happy and not show your feelings!
Being a marquis and a prime minister is what people dream of.Zuo You thought that he was a poor official a few years ago, but now he is in his twenties to be the prime minister. The feeling of smoking from the ancestral grave is difficult to describe.
At this time, Wang Pu suddenly turned around and said: Now, the country is working hard to govern, and the country is rising like the rising sun. You want to become famous officials in history, and it is a good time.
……
Taking advantage of the fact that the foreign minister left Yangde Hall, Li Shanggong got a bowl of tremella and red date soup from somewhere.While she was stirring with a silver spoon, she gently blew the soup.
Guo Shao was sitting on the couch and was thinking, and did nothing for the time being.
But in the back, he saw Li Shanggong, who was behind him, tasted the soup gently and then brought it up.
Her cheeks turned red, and she quietly turned the bowl gently, and brought the place she had drunk to Guo Shao.
Guo Shao pretended not to know, but looked up at her face and saw Li Shanggong pretending to be nothing, but his face was flushed.
The woman is already in her thirties, but she makes some small moves.
However, Guo Shao was not disgusted, but felt very comfortable and relaxed.
Although he is a master-servant relationship, he feels like being taken care of by his sister at home, which makes Guo Shao very helpful.
Li Shanggong is not very beautiful either, and it seems that the palace maids don’t like her much.
But Guo Shao likes her very much... In fact, after being familiar with a woman, as long as she is not too ugly, her appearance is not particularly important.
Guo Shao held it up, looked at the fine white and delicate mouth of the bowl, with a little bit of rouge red left, and put the position beside his mouth and took a sip.
Then when she looked at Li Shanggong carefully, she pursed her lips and tried hard to hold back and didn't laugh.
Guo Shao didn't even point it out. He picked up a sterling silver spoon and stirred it in the bowl for a few times. He found that the dates inside had been peeled and had been to bed. This was really not easy and it was very fine.
Tremella soup, something that Guo Shao was familiar with, was something that he could drink at will for three or two yuan a bowl on the roadside in later generations!But here, a perfect luxury item is said to be more expensive than gold.
He immediately said: Call me the people in the palace, don’t make such things for me in the future.No matter how expensive things are, you can't grow a few pounds of fat after eating them. There are still many places in the country that need to spend money.
Li Shanggong felt a little aggrieved and said: Your Majesty... I will obey Your Majesty's will.
She said again: Although I don’t understand what Your Majesty is painting, I feel that Your Majesty has worked hard... I feel sorry for Your Majesty.After saying that, he stretched his head over to look at the picture.
Seeing this, Guo Shao almost said to her.
...Guo Shao didn't tell her what she was drawing, but he was still looking at the things on the picture.
A map centered on the Hexi Corridor and marked with scales, but it is not accurate, because the information brought back by Lu Duosun is not detailed.
On the west side is the Western Regions, roughly the Xinjiang area, with many forces, including the nine surnames Wuhu, the Khotan Tocharites, the Xizhou Uighurs, the Gelulu, the Tuqishi and other tribes.
There is only one name, and Guo Shao has never seen them before. He basically doesn't know who they are... Only the Uighurs have some idea. The Uighur Khanate, which threatened the Tang Dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty, was the same clan as the Uighurs.
The Hexi Corridor is the passage from the Western Regions to Longyou and other places, and is also the richest area with abundant water and grass.
There are mountains on the north and south sides, and there are few people next to the desert in the north; there is Qilian Mountains on the south side.
To the south of the Qilian Mountains, the Tubo Achai tribe is in the west, and the Tubo Tuosima tribe is in the east.
The Han people accounted for the majority of the population in the Hexi Corridor, thanks to the expansion of military camps that began during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, but the Han regime only occupied the Ximiangua and Sha area, namely the Guiyi Army.
The central region was occupied by the Uighurs and was called the Ganzhou Uighurs; the western Liangzhou was controlled by the Liugu tribe and the Zhezi clan.
The corridor goes east into Wushaoling, and it is Longyou.Yellow River Hetao area in various shapes.
In the western part of Longyou, the Central Plains dynasties had all lost this area. Tubo Tusimabu and Dangxiang were active in it. Only the governor of Shuofang, Lingzhou to the north, owned the Yinchuan Plain of Xitao.
Further east, to the south is Guanzhong, which is the territory of the Great Zhou.To the north are Xiazhou and other places, the territory of the Li family of the Dangxiang Tuoba clan tribe, and further north is the Dongtao area in the southern part of Yinshan, entering the territory of Liao.
A lot of information is very sketchy, but Guo Shao at least completed the gap in the western part of the territory.
Now he can at least figure out what is going on in the west of his country... the situation is a mess!
In addition to the various barbarian tribes with complex forces, even the northwest vassal states inside were semi-independent, such as the Zhe family in Guanzhong and the Feng family in Lingzhou. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. It was difficult to say whether they were still obeying the imperial edict or not. In any case, they were nominally granted officials by the court. Only Wang Jing and his son in Qinzhou were also vassal states, but they had fought side by side with Guo Shao and were vassal states that supported the Guo Shao regime.
well!Guo Shao threw the brush on the inkstone, reached out and rubbed it in his temple, and closed his eyes.
Not only are the forces complex, but the relationships are also very complex.He thought for a long time and finally grabbed two lines from the mess: that is his temporary goal for the northwest.
1. Expand the war horses.
2. Prevent rebellion in the western region and restrain the force that hinders the country at critical moments.
He followed these two goals and soon thought of the land in Xiazhou... the foundation of the Western Xia Dynasty!
Guo Shao opened his eyes and remembered the files from Wang Pu who presented them to four provinces including Xiazhou, so he found them on the table to read them.
He knew that the general direction was probably the southern part of the Yellow River Hetao and south of Ordos, where there might be plains, plateaus, hills and gullies.
This land must be a huge hidden danger. In history, neither the Northern Song Dynasty nor the Liao Kingdom could do anything to them.Hanging on Guanzhong's head poses great threat to Dazhou.
Guo Shao decided to learn as much as possible about the Dangxiang area in Xiazhou before making a decision.
At this time, in Yangde Hall, a woman in her thirties was holding an inkstone in both hands.
When Guo Shao wanted to dip ink, she could raise the inkstone in time and reach it to his hand.
Because she always pays attention to Guo Shao's subtle moves and can judge when he needs what he needs.
