Royal Palace, Fu'an Palace.
Yang Shu now knew why every generation of emperors of the Yang family liked to stay in Fu'an Palace. Not everyone likes to soak in warm soup, but there is a reason why they have to soak in it.
Not long after merging with "Chi", Yang Shu was already feeling some suffering. It was still in the early stages, and the pain was not unbearable, but it was endless without interruption, which affected his rest and thinking.
Sometimes he wanted to be lazy and take a nap, but "Chi" would teach him what "diligence" meant. After a terrifying experience that felt like his whole body was being ripped out, he didn't dare to be lazy anymore. Diligence has become something he now keeps in mind. habit".
Now only in the warm soup of Fu'an Palace could Yang Shu feel a sense of relaxation after a long time, without the pain in his body affecting him. He could even fall asleep easily in the warm soup instead of tossing and turning in bed.
In the warm soup of Fu'an Palace, there is a complete set of things for the emperor to work while soaking, such as a table that can float steadily on the water.
You can take a rest or soak in warm soup, but you can't just leave things alone. 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. It was the content sent by Xuanqing Guard as usual about the recent civil disturbances in the imperial city. Generally speaking, they are just rumors. If the emperor feels interested and makes a decree, the Xuanqing Guard will focus on investigating. It's like a barometer of folklore in the imperial city.
"Interesting! He is really talented in literature. His poetry alone can be regarded as one of the first-class people in the country." Yang Shu was still in the early stages of integrating with "Chi", so he soaked in the warm soup for the time being. No more pain, I was in a good mood, and a smile appeared on my face when I saw the interesting things on the copper bars.
However, no one responded to Yang Shu's words. The eunuchs around him lowered their eyebrows but did not dare to raise their heads or answer questions casually. They were hunched over in every corner like shadows.
This kind of loneliness is not unique, and Yang Shu has no way to eliminate it. The "redness" in him cannot be known to others. It is limited to the eunuchs present who are destined to be buried with him. Not even his most trusted mastermind. Know the qualifications of "red". Therefore, there is no one in Wen Tang who can chat casually with Yang Shu.
Every emperor of the Yang family has to bear this kind of loneliness. Only when he is dying, people from Fenghong Villa will come, just like Yang Xiu Sheng before. By then, the loneliness may be reduced a bit.
At present, Yang Shu can only bear it alone.
What made Yang Shu interesting was a poem on the copper strip. The author was someone Yang Shu knew, a thousand-household official in Xuanqing Guard: Shen Hao.
When Yang Shu was still a prince, he had heard of Shen Hao's reputation. He not only repeatedly solved major crimes, but also had the courage to kill and accomplish things that ordinary people could not do. He was a popular figure in the Xuanqing Guards in Jingxi and was deeply loved by Jingxi. He was favored by Jiang Cheng, the governor of Xizhen, and was also highly regarded by commander Pang Ban.
This is not all, this Shen Hao is still a well-known literary giant 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.
Yang Shu also had to stand in awe of the song "Water Melody Songtou: When will the bright moon come". Although he is not good at poetry, he can distinguish good from bad. When this poem came out, it is not to say that it is the best among contemporary people, but at least it is Those literary giants who are still alive have no masterpieces that can compare with it. This is why Shen Hao can be called a literary giant with just a few poems.
After that, Shen Hao had no poems published. While many literati outside were eagerly looking forward to it, because Shen Hao was a Xuanqing guard and did not belong to the literati circle, he was considered by some to have "exhausted his talents" and was ridiculed. Yang Shu had also heard of some of these rumors.
Looking at the new song on the copper bar in his hand, Yang Shu felt sad for those who said that Shen Hao's talent was exhausted.
"What a wonderful poem! The soldiers on the front line are indeed suffering too much. After this war, we must reward them well. Hey."
Yang Shu sighed, sat up, waved to the eunuch beside him to help him write, and then picked up the pen to copy the poem on the copper strip:
The wind is rustling and the river is cold. The strong man will never return once he is gone. Explore the tiger's den and enter the dragon's palace, look up to the sky and exhale and a white rainbow will appear.
Perhaps because of the previous story as a foreshadowing, the more Yang Shu read this poem, the more clear scenes he could feel appearing in his mind.
Yuchi was a small military station, but it withstood repeated attacks from the barbarian wolf cavalry in the early days of the war. One by one, young sergeants Jing lost their lives while resisting these attacks, and even their bodies were badly mutilated. In the end, the remaining limbs and arms could only be gathered together, buried together, and finally a monument was erected to commemorate them.
Yang Shu had never been on the battlefield, but he still had a passion in his heart. Coupled with the tragic rendering of this poem, he felt even more hot in his chest.
It is these warriors who are not afraid of death that the world of Jingjiu Dynasty can be impregnable!
Yang Shu's handwriting is average, not good but not bad, and he is a person who can be seen outside. But considering his current status, his handwriting is extraordinary.
"Send this to the Yuchi Military Station and find someone to carve 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 pension strategy. This battle was fought beautifully, but the death was too great. Duo Jing, a good man from the old dynasty, increased his comfort.
Also, write a note to the Ministry of Household Affairs and ask them to participate in the drafting of special pensions. This should be given to the Ministry of War..."
Unlike Yang Jian, who is methodical, Yang Shu's thinking is more out-of-the-box. He likes to do things as he thinks, rather than making plans first and then strictly executing them.
The advantage of this is that the strategy is flexible and can be changed at any time according to changes in circumstances, or new policies can be introduced. The disadvantage is that the time for deliberation is too short, and it is easy to cause problems and make jokes if it is not thorough and thoughtful.
But Yang Shu had his own way of keeping the secret, that is, before every order he issued, he would be checked by his former advisers, which is now the Central Academy of Sciences. His mastermind temporarily led the Central Academy of Sciences. The Lord's office.
Zhongshuyuan is a newly established institution by Yang Shu, or it is a part of his newly separated functions from Zuoxiangfu. In the past, the Central Academy of Sciences was under the command of the Zuo Xiangfu to assist the Zuo Prime Minister in running errands, and to analyze the emperor's various decrees and find out and fill in the gaps. But now Zhongshuyuan has completely lost its affiliation with Zuoxiang's Yamen, and has become an existence standing between Zuoxiang's Mansion and the emperor.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this was Yang Shu's deliberate attempt to reduce the influence of Zuoxiang's Office in government affairs, and this was definitely just the beginning. After the emperor smoothed out all aspects, Zuoxiang's Office would probably continue to be weakened. . But to what extent it will be weakened, no one except Yang Shu can guess.
