Later in the afternoon, Shi Congyun made an approximate distribution of the fertile cultivated land in Shu based on the map and the records of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He marked some large and small circles on the map, and calculated the area of ​​cultivated land in each state and county in Shu.

However, he only roughly calculated according to the household registration. Specifically, he needs to measure each state and county. The reason for this is to see which places have the most fields.

However, his behavior confused the soldiers around him and Fei Shi who was called over to scold him. If a general doesn't fight, what can he draw on the map?

In the evening, after he had dinner, Shao Ji, Fu Zhaoyuan, and Meng Xuanzhe came to see him and reported the situation of the wealthy families still in the city.

Shi Congyun looked at the list, and he wasn't going to embarrass these people anymore. If commerce is in chaos, so will Shu land. The economic pillar of Shu land is the export of Shu brocade. If they are pulled out, many people who raise silkworms will not be able to sell anything.

But when Shi Congyun saw Shao Ji hesitate after the report, he immediately understood that he had something to say.

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't tell me I'm going to sleep." Shi Congyun said.

Unexpectedly, Shao Ji didn't know whether he was nervous or anxious, or he couldn't speak, and suddenly knelt down on one knee with a plop, cupped his hands and said loudly: "Marshal, please be the emperor!"

This time, not only Shi Congyun was taken aback, but Fu Zhaoyuan, Meng Xuanzhe, and the guards at the door were all stunned.

Chapter 296, It takes three times to succeed

Shi Congyun felt a headache for a while.

Although he knew that everyone was uneducated and it was impossible to say any brilliant words, Shao Ji's words still surprised him.

I almost cursed out of my mouth, aren't you talking nonsense!How do you ask me to pick it up!

If it was because Li Chongjin's army was out at the beginning and Han Lingkun's army was out of control, now, being an emperor is no longer a matter of strength or ability for him, but a matter of moral burden!

Although he usually doesn't seem to be too shameless, this is a major event in the world after all, and it is related to the stability of people's hearts...

It's like Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe added to the body, there were many before, he is not original, why do later generations always stare at him, because he is too successful compared to those predecessors, everyone stares at the thorns, like the yellow flag in front of him Like, no one knows or remembers.

Now that Da Zhou has the momentum to dominate the world, he will definitely be stared at and criticized.

And he already knew in his heart that this matter could not be delayed or slowed down.

After a few more years, when the little emperor grows up and becomes sensible, he will be Oboi.

Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the fact that the little emperor is still ignorant and has no influence, and make a decisive decision, so that there is no danger for him, and for the country, the turmoil caused by the power struggle must be avoided.

But these rough guys can't speak too much, how can he answer...

He finally endured it, after all, it was Shao Ji, and it was too embarrassing for them to think about such a question.

But Shi Congyun also knew that if Shao Ji dared to say such a thing, he must not be the only one behind it, so he came up with an idea as soon as he turned his head.

He said solemnly: "What are you talking about, I am a loyal minister of Da Zhou, so it is inappropriate to do this."

.......

In the big camp outside the city, everyone asked anxiously, "What happened next?"

"Later, the commander asked someone to withdraw..." Shao Ji said helplessly.

As soon as he spoke, everyone became anxious, and someone said anxiously: "How could you just come out, just say a few more words!"

"That's right, how can such a major event be withdrawn at once..." Someone echoed.

Everyone chattered and were very anxious, but Li Chuyun and Meng Xuanzhe were not so anxious.

Meng Xuanzhe was a smart person, and said, "Generals, generals, listen to me."

But basically no one listened to him, Li Chuyun said, "Everyone, please be quiet first."

Only then did everyone quiet down, Li Chuyun said: "The commander-in-chief did not express his opinion, but the commander-in-chief did not refuse either!"

Everyone looked over one after another: "What do you mean?"

"You guys know shit!

The commander-in-chief said it was inappropriate, but the commander-in-chief didn't say it couldn't be done. If the commander-in-chief was so determined that he would rather die than follow, he would flatly refuse. Even General Shao would become a traitor, so how could he let General Shao come back with just a word. "

Li Chuyun's words stopped everyone.

Li Hanchao also suddenly realized: "It makes sense! This is the reason!"

After all, Li Chuyun was born in a place where the ethnic situation in the Northwest border was complicated and the situation was complicated. In addition to being ruthless, he was also very smart. In such a place, being ruthless alone is not enough to gain a foothold.

However, this remark made many big bosses in the Chinese army confused, but the smarter ones have already reacted, and Dou Yi and other civil servants have also understood.

Dou Yi took the lead and said: "Understood! We can't let General Shao go alone."

"Why? What do you mean?" Dang Jin looked around in confusion.

Meng Xuanzhe finally interjected, "The commander-in-chief didn't say it couldn't be done, he just said it wasn't suitable. If it's not suitable, you need a suitable reason. This is what you need to think about."

Everyone looked at him one after another, and several civil servants slapped their heads, "I'll understand when you say that!

Tomorrow we will find a chance to go again, this time we will go together!When you go back tonight, you feel that you should write everything you want to write well, and say what you want to say well, and you must clearly explain the achievements of the commander-in-chief. "

Everyone nodded one after another, and then agreed to meet here the next morning to advise the commander again.

.......

In the palace, Shi Congyun didn't undress or take off his shoes, just lying on the bed thinking about things.

Xiao Huanghua helped him drag his shoes and clothes, and consciously took off his shoes and climbed up to warm his bed. Although it wasn't cold at night, but Mr. Shi got used to it, and he became extravagant and depraved, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep.

Thinking about the day's affairs in his mind, Shi Congyun also had a lot of thoughts. In fact, at this point, he has everything he needs.

The [-] army was in his hands, part of the army in the court was in the hands of Wang Zhong, and part of it was under the control of Wang Shenqi. They were stationed in Heyang to guard against Li Yun.

The Zhenhuai Army in the south is under the control of Si Chao, and the Xiaoxiang Army, Jingnan Army and Jiannan Army are all under his control.

There is no suspense in the situation at all. When Zhao Kuangyin added the yellow robe, Han Lingkun and others he trusted most controlled the army in Hebei, but not all the troops in the capital were under his control. It's his man, he's different...

And even if he is willing to wait, the people under him can't wait anymore. Now that he represents not only his own interests, but also the interests of everyone behind him, including many soldiers, generals, and officials, from top to bottom Counting 10 people, if you count their families, there are even more family members.

The hopes of these people are entrusted to his shoulders. He can't be willful in some things. Willfulness will lose people's hearts. The soldiers don't care how many other wives he robs and how many women he sleeps with, but they will definitely care whether he is an emperor or not. , Can you give them more ranks and higher rewards?

"Is Alang still asleep?" Xiao Huanghua suddenly asked after a while.

Shi Congyun pinched her delicate face: "I'm thinking about something, you go to bed first, remember to wake me up tomorrow morning."

Little Yellow Flower nodded and fell asleep by herself.

Shi Congyun didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. He thought about many things and made up his mind. Besides, he was a little excited. After all, he had never been an emperor before!

Especially thinking about how the official family was so popular back then, and they could still raise loli in the harem. Back then, there were tens of thousands of women in the harem of Emperor Taizong of Tang. If he became the emperor, no one would talk about him......

Although it is not promising, this is indeed what Shi Congyun thought of at the first time. Thinking about it this way, he suddenly looked like an emperor again, and even dreamed of it.

......

When he got up the next day, Xiao Huanghua helped him get dressed and was ready to do work.

The aftermath of the Shu land is almost the same, and the next thing is to wait for the officials sent by the imperial court to arrive in the Shu land, take over the Shu land, and then install the garrison, and the battle to destroy Shu will come to a perfect conclusion.

At the same time, on the other hand, it is necessary to send Meng Chang's family back to Daliang safely, so as to set an example for all other separatist regimes such as Southern Tang, Southern Han, Northern Han, Wuyue, Jingnan Army, and Guiyi Army.

So that day, he wore armor grandly, and went to the side hall of the harem for the first time to see Meng Chang's family.

Hearing that he was coming, Meng Chang even led his mother, empress, five concubines, a group of children, and dozens of eunuchs out to greet him.

Fei stood in the crowd with his head slightly lowered, his face flushed slightly, avoiding his eyes and not daring to look at him, and the rest of the people were also very afraid of him, even Meng Chang himself didn't dare to raise his head too much, just lowered his head slightly.

On the contrary, it was his mother, Empress Dowager Li, who dared to look directly at her. The old man was gray-haired but showed no sign of fear.

Shi Congyun made a gesture, helped the old man up himself, and then asked everyone to stand up without courtesy.

"How is Meng Guogong's preparations?" Shi Congyun said, he had already promised to make Meng Chang the Duke of Chu, and his words basically meant that he was telling the truth.

Meng Chang even said: "Everything is ready, you can go to Daliang to meet the queen mother at any time."

Shi Congyun nodded: "Originally I wanted Duke Guo to go with a certain Taoist priest, but there have been a lot of things going on in the past few days, I think it's better to ask Duke Chu to go first and go back to Daliang to meet the Queen Mother.

I don't think the father and mother are suitable for long-distance trekking. It is not suitable to travel long distances due to the exhaustion of land and boats.

So let the navy escort, take Jintang Jiangnan down to the Yangtze River, then take the Yangtze River to Luzhou, go to the Huaihe River and enter Bianshui, and you can go directly to Daliang. "

Meng Chang continued: "It all depends on the commander in chief's arrangement, the commander in chief's kindness will never be forgotten."

Shi Congyun just nodded and looked at Empress Dowager Li. This Empress Dowager Li was not Meng Zhixiang's empress but a noble concubine. The empress dowager was added to her by his son Meng Chang after he ascended the throne.

"The old man won't get seasick."

Li Shi said: "Thank you, Marshal, for your concern. The old man is in good health, and he is not afraid of taking a boat."

Shi Congyun nodded and looked around at all of Meng Chang's family members and attendants: "This is a journey of thousands of miles to Daliang. Anyone of you who can't do it by boat should tell you in advance and go overland with the army, otherwise traveling thousands of miles will kill you. .

When you arrive in Daliang, someone will send you back to the state mansion, but it may take ten days and a half months later. "

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Meng Chang.

Meng Chang continued: "Just follow what the commander-in-chief said."

Only now did five or six people stand up and say that they were seasick and couldn't take the boat for a long time, and then several people came out one after another, both men and women.

Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him. Shi Congyun's sharp eyes swept over the crowd and stopped for a while on Fei's body. She seemed to feel it and was a little flustered.

Shi Congyun said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone else? Ask me one last time, don't go wrong, the road to Daliang is very long, it's not easy to walk, don't lose your life then."

After being quiet for a while, Fei finally took a step in fear, lowering his head and not daring to look at anyone. Satisfied, Shi Congyun asked them to pack their luggage and set off on the boat the day after tomorrow.

........

After informing and settling the Meng family, Shi Congyun came out from the side hall, and then rode out of the city, preparing to go to the central army tent to give orders.

The streets of Chengdu have returned to their former prosperity, and the impact of the war has quickly faded away.

Seeing him and many soldiers coming, many people stepped aside and knelt down by the side of the road.

Shi Congyun rode on the horse, looked at the dark heads along the road, and said loudly: "Don't kneel, you will be my people from now on, do whatever you want, go ahead."

The people just got up and watched him go away.

After leaving Chengdu, the official roads are also bustling. There are not as many people going in and out of the city as before, but they are gradually recovering.

Shi Congyun rode to the tent of the Chinese army with his own soldiers, preparing to ask Si Chao to arrange a navy to escort Meng Chang's family to Daliang.

But when he got off his horse and asked his personal soldiers to look after his horse, he was immediately overwhelmed by the situation in front of him when he entered the large tent of the Chinese army. There were nearly a hundred people densely packed in the big tent, and there was almost no room left.

How cunning he was, he understood what they were going to do in an instant. Before he even opened his mouth, a large number of generals, led by Dou Yi, Wei Renpu and other civil servants, knelt down.

Then Dou Yi began to say: "Commander! Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been continuous national disasters, the world has been disintegrated, and later Huang Chao made chaos, the world was in turmoil, and the people could not be at peace.

In just a few decades, the Central Plains has gone through Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou, and there is no such attack as a general.

Liu Min acted rebelliously, ran wild in Hedong, frightened the king's spirit, and even the barbarians in the north disturbed the Central Plains. It was the father and son of the general who marched forward bravely.

The state of Shu did not respect the law and discipline, and did not obey the suzerain. It was the general who defeated them and took back the four prefectures in Guanzhong.

When it came to the battle of Huainan, in the direction of the general's sword, more than [-] soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River were vulnerable, crossed the river, approached Jinling, and won the fourteen prefectures in the north of the Yangtze River.

The commander-in-chief is high-spirited and upright, and he is full of energy in the daytime, vigorous in his martial arts, and employs his brilliant strategies!

When the troops were sent to Jingzhou, Nanping and Wuping were all flattened; they sent troops to the north, and the [-] troops of the Liao Kingdom were given the leadership, and several states in Guanbei were collected.

Now that the sword is pointing to the southwest, within three months, all the two prefectures and 48 prefectures and one army town in Shu will be attached. Since ancient times, no one can compare with the general for such a contribution.

Who else in the world can compare with the handsome man?Who else in the world is more qualified to be the lord of the people than the commander-in-chief?

Please, Commander-in-Chief, follow the suggestions of the ministers and others, agree to the requests of the ministers and others, and become a great treasure, and become the supreme emperor. This is the wish of the ministers and others, millions of soldiers under his command, and tens of millions of people! "

"Commander, please promise us!" Dou Yi bowed solemnly after speaking, and all the civil and military subordinates also said in unison, "Commander, please promise us."

Good guy!

Shi Congyun couldn't help shouting in his heart, "Good guy, he still has a lot of talents under his command, even these big men in the army, if they hadn't been rehearsed, he wouldn't believe that they could do such a decent job.

You don't need to look to understand that Dou Yi, Wei Renpu and other civil officials took the lead in teaching them.

But when it comes to acting skills, Shi Yandi has never been afraid of anyone, and immediately said with a distressed expression: "This, this, what are you talking about!"

As he said, facing east and cupping his hands, his face was full of sincerity: "I, Shi Congyun, have always been a loyal minister of Great Zhou!

This is a well-known fact in the world. Although it is indeed a small contribution, you are forcing me!How can I see the queen mother and the official family when I go back? "

Wei Renpu immediately said: "The king of Qin has the merits of ordering the world. He is eminent in morality and respects etiquette. He is a class leader in the sea, diligent in teaching the people, and prudent in punishment and prison. The officials are not tyrannical, and the people are not jealous.

Even the ancient Mingjun is not as good, the merits of the world are obvious to all, the so-called emperor is the one who is virtuous and capable, expands the territory, quells disasters, stabilizes the country, and makes the people live and work in peace. These are all in line with the commander!

The veteran believes that today's officials and the queen mother are also well-read poets, reasonable people, and understand the truth of the world. When the army returns triumphantly, they will definitely agree. "

The crowd joined in.

Shi Congyun thought about it in his heart, and almost agreed. This bragging made him feel a little flustered, but he quickly realized that he had only rejected it twice...
