Chapter 827 Warrior
Imperial Palace, Fu'an Palace.
Yang Shu now knows why every emperor of the Yang family likes to stay in Fu'an Palace. Not everyone likes to soak in warm soup, but because there are reasons to have to.
It wasn't long before he merged with "Chi", and Yang Shu was already feeling some torment. It was still in the early stage, and the pain was not unbearable, but it was endless and there was no interruption at all, which greatly affected his rest and even his thinking.
Sometimes I want to be lazy and sleep late, but "Chi" will teach him what "diligence" is. After a horrible experience like being sucked out of the marrow, he dare not be lazy anymore. Diligence has become something he keeps in mind now. habit".
Now only in the warm soup of Fu'an Palace can Yang Shu feel a sense of relaxation that he hasn't felt for a long time, and he doesn't have to be affected by the pain on his body. He can even fall asleep easily in the warm soup instead of tossing and turning in bed.
The warm soup in Fu'an Palace has a whole set of things for the emperor to work while soaking, such as a table that can float stably on the water.
You can rest while taking a break, and you can also soak in warm soup, but you can’t leave things alone, and you can work while soaking in warm soup.
At this time, Yang Shu was half lying in the warm soup, holding a copper bar sent by the people below in his hand. It was sent by Xuan Qingwei as usual about the recent civil changes in the imperial city. Generally speaking, it is just rumors and gossip. If the emperor feels interested and makes a decree, Xuan Qingwei will focus on the investigation. It is similar to a barometer of the folk winds in the imperial city.
"Interesting! He really has a literary talent. He can be regarded as a first-class group of people in the imperial court just by poetry alone." Yang Shu is still in the early stage of integration with "Chi", so he soaked in the warm soup for a while. The pain is gone, I am in a good mood, and a smile appears on my face when I see the interesting things on the copper bar.
However, no one answered Yang Shu's words. The eunuchs around had low brows but did not dare to raise their heads, nor did they dare to answer casually, they hunched over in every corner like shadows.
This kind of loneliness is not unique, and Yang Shu has no way to dispel it. The "redness" on his body cannot be known to others, only the eunuchs present who are destined to be buried with him, not even his most trusted conspirators. Know the qualifications of "red". Therefore, there is no one in Wen Tang who can chat with Yang Shu casually.
Every emperor of the Yang family has to bear this kind of loneliness. Only when they are dying, people from Fenghong Villa will come, just like Yang Xiusheng before, and the loneliness may be reduced by then.
At present, Yang Shu can only bear it alone.
What interested Yang Shu was a poem written on the copper bar, written by someone Yang Shu knew, an official of a thousand households in Xuanqingwei: Shen Hao.
When he was still the prince, Yang Shu had heard about Shang Shenhao's reputation. Not only did he repeatedly solve major cases, but he also killed people boldly and could accomplish things that ordinary people could not. Jiang Cheng, the governor of Xizhen, was very fond of him, and at the same time, he was highly regarded by the commander Pang Ban.
This is not over yet, this Shen Hao is still a well-known writer in the literati circle. Although his works only have a few poems, it does not prevent him from being recognized by literati all over the world.
The song "Shui Tuo Ge Tou·When will the moon be there" made Yang Shu also have to be in awe. Although he is not good at poetry, he can distinguish good from bad. None of the literary giants who are still alive can come up with a masterpiece that is longer or shorter than one of them. This is why Shen Hao can be called a literary hero with just a few poems.
After that, Shen Hao didn't have any poems published. While many literati outside were looking forward to it, because Shen Hao's job was Xuan Qingwei and he didn't mix in the circle of literati, some people thought that he was "out of talent". Yang Shu had heard some of these rumors.
Looking at the new work on the copper bar in his hand now, Yang Shu feels pain for those who say that Shen Hao's talent is exhausted.
"It's really a good poem! The soldiers on the front line are indeed suffering too much. We must reward them well after this war is over. Sigh."
Yang Shu sighed, sat up, beckoned to the eunuch to wait for him to write, and then picked up a pen to copy the poem on the copper bar:
The wind is blowing and the river is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone. Explore the tiger's den and enter the Jiao Palace, look up to the sky and exhale to form a white rainbow.
Perhaps because of the previous story as a foreshadowing, the more Yang Shu reads this poem, the more clear scenes are presented in his mind.
Yushi, a small military depot, suffered repeated attacks from barbarian wolf cavalry in the early days of the war. Young soldiers of the Jing Army lost their lives when resisting these attacks, and even their bodies were shattered. In the end, all the stumps and broken arms can only be collected together, buried together, and finally a monument is erected to commemorate them.
Yang Shu has never been on the battlefield, but he also has a hot blood in his heart, and the tragic exaggeration of this poem makes his chest feel even hotter.
It is these warriors who are not afraid of death that the world of the old Jing Dynasty can be as solid as gold!
Yang Shu's handwriting is mediocre, not good but not bad, and he is someone who can be seen when he is released. But considering his current status, his handwriting is extraordinary.
"Send this to the Yuchi military depot, and find someone to engrave it on the stone tablet in Yuchi. If the stone tablet is too small, build another one. Then let the Ministry of War start drafting a special compensation plan. This time the battle was fought beautifully, but the death is too big. Duojing's good son Lang from the old dynasty stepped up to appease.
Also, send a note to the Ministry of Household Affairs and let them participate in the drafting of the special pension, this needs to be given to the Ministry of War.”
Unlike Yang Jian's methodical approach, Yang Shu's thinking is more detached. He likes to do what he thinks, instead of making a plan first and then strictly implementing it.
The advantage of this is that the strategy is flexible and can be changed at any time according to changes in the situation, or a new policy can be introduced. The disadvantage is that the time for deliberation is too short, and it is easy to cause problems and jokes if it is not detailed and thoughtful.
But Yang Shu has his own way to cover the bottom line, that is, before every order is sent out, the group of counselors under him will help him check it out, that is, the current Zhongshuyuan, his mastermind, temporarily leads the Zhongshuyuan Lord's office.
Zhongshuyuan is a new institution established by Yang Shu, or it is a part of his functions newly removed from Zuoxiangfu. Under the command of the Zuo Xiangfu, the former Zhongshu Academy assisted the Zuo Xiang to handle errands, and analyzed and checked for omissions according to the emperor's various wishes. But now the Chinese Academy has completely lost its affiliation with Zuoxiang Yamen, and has become an existence between Zuoxiangfu and the emperor.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is Yang Shu deliberately reducing the influence of the Zuoxiang government in government affairs, and this is definitely just the beginning. After the emperor smooths out all aspects, the Zuoxiang government is likely to continue to be weakened . It's just that it will be weakened to what extent, except for Yang Shu, no one else can guess.
