Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Good News

Everyone in Chang'an city knew that Lord Hou of the Wang family was a good man.A senior butcher in Zhuangzi has a famous saying: A good man must have good thighs; and has repeatedly claimed that the prince of the Wang family fully meets this condition.

The starting point is different, the point of view is also different.The butcher is flattering me from a professional standpoint. From the perspective of commercial anatomy, even if the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are all broken, as long as the four legs are intact, they can be sold for money. From this point of view, Xie Bao is worth more than me.

It is big, with long and strong limbs, and can make full use of its own resources in suitable occasions, such as crop fields.There is nothing to say about hard work, everyone wants to hire this long-term worker; according to the idea of ​​the fourth child, Xie Bao would be perfect if he ate less, the key is to eat the food of the Wang family and go to work for the Yun family to eat The feeling of crawling inside and outside.

"It seems that you are planning to settle down in Wangjiazhuangzi." Patting Xie Bao on the shoulder, he said with a smile, "Why don't you help the Wang family with some farm work? Spring is about to start, and by the way, dig out the irrigation canals in the north, so as not to be in the spring. Drought."

Xie Bao nodded happily.Forget it, I am old now, my arms and legs are not flexible, and I am too lazy to beat him.Assure Chairman Mao that Xie Bao no longer knows what his surname is and who he is. At first he thought that helping the Yun family was a way of flattering the girl. Although it was not satisfactory, he put it into action anyway.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all. This kid is very addicted to the joy of farming between the fields, and he never tires of it. He has long forgotten his original intention of pursuing Miss Yun.Seeing my unkind expression, Xie Bao stood back awkwardly, fearful of my punching and kicking skills.

Pointing to Chang Tau of the greenhouse to sit down, the servant girl brought tea and put it in Xie Bao's hand, and smiled at him before leaving.It seems that Xie Bao does have the advantage of being favored by girls, at least the maid at home has a good impression of Xie Bao, and the girls in the village also like to work with Xie Bao on farm work, which is a good sign.

"Extreme." Knocking on the table and staring at Xie Bao, he shook his head and said, "Even being a long-term worker is extreme. It's a good thing to want to mingle with the people. It's not what you do. Remember your identity, and the officials will personally appoint a candidate. Once there is a vacancy You should take on a big responsibility, do you know what a big responsibility is?"

Xie Bao hadn't gotten into the mood yet, and nodded casually, as if he had no plans for his future.

"Looking at you like this, it's hard to be a big job. You don't know how to be blessed if you are born in a blessing. How many people are waiting to hear this, and you still have no plans." Dissatisfied, he flicked the tea bowl.Reminding Xie Bao to be more serious, he reprimanded: "If you have no prestige or prestige, you are not an official! Either you will let everyone admire you and be willing to follow you; or you will make everyone fear you and have to submit to you." He paused for a while. , carefully observed Xie Bao's expression, "If you want to take on a big responsibility, you must first learn to control the situation. You can't even get a little girl in the countryside, so why talk about letting go!"

Xie Bao lowered his head and remained silent.Very unaware.

Too lazy to waste time with this kind of idiot, he said seriously: "Three months ago, I will give you three months to complete the house. If it is still like this, you can't help making trouble, and I will be the master for your deceased parents!" go.

It's not that I disapprove of free love.But no matter how free it is, Xie Bao didn't do it like this.Xie Bao is down-to-earth and can endure hardships, this is why Qin Yu likes him; he also understands that it is difficult for people with this kind of temperament to enter the court, but it is safe to put it in the place.At least Qin Yu was relieved.

I understand Qin Yu's thoughts, and I also know that Qin Yu has the ability to turn ideals into reality.Among the few people who have a deep relationship, Cui Zhang is a master of family power management. Although he is free from the court, he has the means to influence the decision-making of the court; and Qin Yu is different. The Qin family seems to be going smoothly until now, but the patriarch Qin Yu's burden was placed on Qin Yu prematurely, the transitional stage of the alternation of the old and the new.Failure to do so can lead to failure.

This is the reason why Qin Yu kept a low profile, but in fact, he was already under heavy pressure in his heart.The determination can be seen from the fact that he went to the front line of Longyou without hesitation back then. There are not many hereditary nationals who can face real swords and guns as calmly as Qin Yu.

The earliest meritorious service in Longyou was appreciated by the imperial court, and he led the army back to Beijing to deal with the abolishment and a series of actions to remove the grandson's family. Now he is appointed as the second echelon to participate in the military operation against the East Turkistan rebellion. It can be seen that Qin Yu has gained the trust of the high-level.Faintly become the backbone of the new generation.

Zheng Hong's military talent was unanimously recognized.With the ability and experience to gallop beyond the Great Wall, he is the best candidate for the first echelon.Just like Mr. Cheng said.Regardless of victory or defeat, what the imperial court wants is to let the Turkic people calm the Turkic suffering.However, judging from the deployment of this military operation, the imperial court paid more attention to the second echelon headed by Qin Yu, and shouldered more important strategic tasks than the first echelon.

At this time, the Tang Empire had limited troops and did not have the ability to go deep into the vast grasslands to wipe out the rebellion in the East Turkistan; the best strategy was to use the barbarians to control the barbarians, and the Turks were the best to be the vanguard.Winning will boost the prestige of the court, and losing will not hurt; no matter whether Zheng Hong is rebellious or not, the Turkic people who have gone through hard battles will no longer be able to cause trouble, and they can keep the borders safe for decades.

The words are not pleasant, but the facts are in front of us. The so-called second echelon is prepared for the chaos after the war.If Zheng Hong successfully sweeps up the grasslands and becomes dissatisfied with his prestige, then the real role of the second echelon will be brought into play.Offensively and defensively, no matter the victory or defeat ahead, he can deal with the chaos with ease.

Oaths between nations are always so fragile.People who are not of our own race have different hearts, and people can be judged as good or bad, but foreign races can use them to sacrifice flags at any time, no matter whether they are good or bad. Presumably Zheng Hong also understands the truth in the mid-term.

For Zheng Hong, Qin Yu is always optimistic, not blindly.I have discussed this sensitive topic with me in private, and I think that Zheng Hong is a smart person, even if he has his own ideas, he will never take risks at this moment; Distressed, as long as he establishes his prestige in the Turkic people, he will be able to become a party after decades of integration and development, and it will not be too late to wrestle with the court at that time.

And Qin Yu's eyes are on Liaodong, thinking that if he wants to succeed in one fell swoop, he must move closer to Liaodong.This trip is an opportunity to accumulate qualifications and lay the foundation for future military affairs in Liaodong.Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang are both heavyweights, Qin Yu is not enough to compare with these people; but at present, many people in the court are dissatisfied with Xue Rengui's progress in Liaodong. Meet the requirements for a full occupation of Mohe.

Nowadays, many people regard Su Dingfang as a firefighter, and think that if Su Dingfang did not put pressure on Baekje and Waguo from the east line, Xue Rengui, who runs the northern line, might not be able to make it to the present.Suffering from Xue Rengui did not make a mistake.Everyone couldn't find an excuse to change the commander, and this time Xue Rengui's Liaodong garrison cooperated with Zheng Hong's action to clean up the grasslands. Everyone regarded it as a touchstone.

"I'm afraid it's past Wuwei," Mr. Cheng estimated Qin Yu's itinerary according to the time slot. The marriage between Cheng and Qin made the old man have to pay attention to Qin Yu's movements from time to time. "That boy Zheng Hong should be ready. According to the military newspaper, the Liaodong side has already set up defenses at Jinwei. This is an unprecedented big bag." After finishing speaking, he gave a strange laugh. "Xue Rengui's retreat to Songmo's two thousand elite riders is a bit overbearing."

"It's a detour, right?" I took a flag and planted it on Gowat State, "I have to guard against the black water side, and besides, the cavalry has limited use in winter, so it's safer to withdraw."

"Bullshit!" The old man pouted the little flag that the old man planted for me, "It is because of your long history that such stupid actions are possible. Regardless of whether you dare to venture into the black water or not, you withdraw the fine cavalry from the plain and release it." Once you have completed the defense of the mountains, you should show your head to the public!"

That's right... But it's not a pure mountain, there's still room for horse racing...

You can talk to the old man about anything, just don't rehearse the formation.If you are not casual, you will frequently drink and scold to the point of being beaten. No matter how you say it, you are also a respectable person, and it is embarrassing to speak out.

I didn't want to be shown to the public, so I chose to shut up.

"Shut up!" Seeing me pretending to be dumb, the old man gave me a very unfriendly kick. "Ask you something!"

"Grandpa Cheng, I'm a civil servant..."

"Get out! You bastard!" The old man smiled and stuck Xiaoqi on the radish, took out a cigarette bag from his arms, and started smoking, "Go back and say hello to your third wife. You should give me, the old man, a filial piety at the end of the year." Yes, don't keep following behind to collect the debt. It will be chilling if you don't show up for a month after collecting the debt."

"Then you didn't give it back." I couldn't help avenging the fourth brother.After working hard for two months, he took a lot of gifts and went in. The old man just accepted the gifts and didn't settle the bill. Besides, it was a bit too much to chase the debts during the year, so he temporarily let the Cheng family go.Now that he was beaten again by Lao Sha, it seemed reasonable.

"I'm not sensible!" The old man looked distressed, and kept throwing smoke rings from his mouth. "Grabbing such an old bone and forcing it to death, it's the old man who set you up for a good relationship. It's time to think about it. Go back and tell your third wife, and say that the old man puts aside the past and asks her to come over tomorrow for a while." Two carts of shredded tobacco make amends, and we will run out of food!"

As far as the face of being old and immortal, it was a matter of being smoked to death before it was released.When you ask for money, you renege on your debts, and when you have no cigarettes, you miss it.The government dared not accept such disputes.I dare not say yet.This is an old hero of the Tang Empire, and heroes are generally like this.After more than ten years of resignation, I have long been used to it, so I agreed silently.

"No!" The fourth child firmly vetoed, "I'm busy, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, who wants to grind their teeth with an old man."

"Don't dare to talk nonsense, he won't die even if we die!" She reached out and covered Miss Fourth's mouth, "It doesn't matter to blame the Holy Majesty, but dare not blame the old man!"

"I didn't complain," the fourth child opened my hand and asked someone to prepare two boxes of shredded tobacco, "Brother-in-law will bring them to me tomorrow, and I will have to go to the princess's mansion to study etiquette. In March, the princess will preside over the business matters with several foreign countries." , ask me for advice."

"Don't go!" Doing thankless errands, the girls are dealing with important business cases, and family affairs are still unclear, and Lan Ling is too good at picking time.

"Why don't you go?" The fourth child touched a list in his arms and handed it to me. He said righteously: "It is said that the inner government will preside over it, but in fact the imperial court also attaches great importance to it. Taking this opportunity to expand the royal family's real estate industry outside the territory, At the very least, it’s good to spread your reputation. If you don’t expect changes in one or two years, you can’t guarantee that it will become an income in one or 20 years.” Seeing that I didn’t refute, she squeezed towards me and said in a low voice: “We Home is not as good as the Inner Palace, and now the affairs outside the territory are all controlled by the Inner Palace, and they can't get in the slightest. This is an opportunity, and we can't miss it."

"Are you sure you can get on the stage?" I was afraid that the fourth child would play a trick on Lan Ling.Busy in and out of the house without stopping, and those who make suggestions, all the benefits will be given to the inner government, and nothing will be achieved in the end.After all, it was the era of the monopoly of the Inner Palace. Knowing the face of the so-called foreign businessmen, they would never dare to skip the Inner Palace and directly contact the Wang family when they came to Datang to do business.

The fourth child nodded confidently, "Speaking of which, my brother-in-law is far-sighted. I started to deal with the "Law of Business" that the princess made early on, but I just mentioned a sentence or two casually that day, and the princess caught the corner and asked non-stop. I just said a few words and then stopped."

"And then you use this to blackmail her? Promise to help her improve the "Law of Commerce", and the Wang family will get a share of the border trade?" Rubbing his hands, it seems that the exchange of equal value, in fact, Lanling took advantage of it, and the fourth child is a little bit Haste.

"No way." The fourth child said with a simple and honest smirk, "It won't be strange if it takes eight years or nine years, and she will suffer at that time. The perfect place will be perfected naturally. Let's pretend that we have also tried our best, and the Wang family can still fall. Participating in the revision of the Law Code has a good reputation, and its name will go down in history."

"Good! Good!" This is the model of a five-good businessman, with a shrewd and long-term plan coupled with this simple and honest smirk, it is perfect. "Keep this smile! From now on, just smile with others like this on the stage." He took a bronze mirror and pointed it at the fourth child, "Look, repeat the expression just now. I like the girl's smile the most, it makes people tempted !"

"Really?" The fourth child didn't agree with my aesthetics, looked at himself in the mirror and said with low self-esteem: "I don't always laugh as well as the second daughter, and my brother-in-law cheated on me again."

"It's so difficult that the second daughter can't laugh, and she has no technical content. It's far behind you." Touching the head of the fourth child, he said a few words of encouragement, "Our family has your sister who is careful and careful, and the second daughter who is weird. Tricky. I just need a simple and honest person, and if you come like this, let's work together!"

The fourth child liked it, and his innocent smile bloomed again, blushing and took my hand and rubbed it on her waist a few times, trying to enter the atmosphere from the touch, when Ying came out of nowhere and gave her a gasp The fourth child pushed away, "Her brother-in-law! Stop it first. The military department uploaded you!"

The fourth child's dead expression came out when he was yelled at by Ying.Taking advantage of the trend, she fell into Ying's arms and thumped wildly, and she couldn't survive for a while.Inexplicably, it was passed on and passed on!Being a lousy general is such a nonsense, and he doesn't know how to be considerate in winter.

After entering the gate of the military headquarters with a face full of wind and frost, he was stunned by the atmosphere inside. Why did everyone feel like they had won the battle before the battle?As soon as he entered the door, he was dragged to sit on him without waiting for the courtesy, and he heard the news before his hands were raised: General Gao Kan returned unscathed!

Gao Kan is... Damn, this old man is not dead!

Su Dingfang's military retaliation in Baekje has made revolutionary progress. After a series of victories, the people of Baekje finally collapsed under the pressure.Most members of the royal family fled to Japan.The hearts of the people in the country are scattered, and war weariness spreads throughout Baekje.

Seeing that the general situation is gone.Baekje Zhouliu Commander Hei Chi Changzhi led his troops back, and confessed frankly that in order to relieve the country's crisis, he led five hundred relatives to surprise the Tang Dynasty's logistics center in Silla. It didn't end well, and the troops were completely lost, making it difficult to fight again.

General Gao Kan was old and weak, and he was still alive in a deadly battle. He was captured alive by the remnants of Hei Chi Chang and brought back to Baekje.The black-toothed Chang Yi once again stated that at that time each had their own masters and had to do it. Although the old general Gao Kan was a prisoner of war, he was treated quite well, and he did not offend him at all. some killings.

"Good job, old general Gao!" Someone suddenly said this, and the whole room immediately echoed, everyone was overjoyed at Gao Kan's life.

Of course it's a good job.Mr. Cheng's analysis was correct back then, and it really was personal guards against personal guards. General Gao faced more than twice his own strength, and he was able to cripple the opponent even when he was preemptively struck. His combat power is astounding.

However, if the old general is not safe at the end of the day, being captured alive by the opponent will become a major stain on his military career, and if he fails to do so, he will be implicated and quit the military.It's a bit regretful, I just thought about it in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it.After all, later generations prefer to flaunt people who would rather die than surrender, such as killing one's body for benevolence, perishing together, paying party dues before dying, etc. I have accepted these concepts too much since I was a child, and I vaguely feel that once a four-star general like Gao Kan is captured, he will lose face. Empty.

Look at all the military cadres around me, all of them are smiling, and even the few veterans who came in later did not hide their inner joy. They even said the words "thank God" in front of everyone, and I can't feel the feeling in my heart Inhuman thoughts, like a group of Westerners.

"It's good to be alive!" Mr. Cheng's first sentence when he saw me was to rejoice for his old comrade-in-arms, but he didn't care about the cigarettes I sent. "Now Gao Kan's mother's wish is good. I'm happy to bring him back to my hometown this morning, and I will see him off."

A little curious.Yue Fei's mother stabbed her to serve the country loyally, so Yue Fei would never leave him a way out at the last moment. Gao Kan's mother probably didn't stab the child with these words, so Gao Kan was captured?

Cautiously asked: "What should General Gao Kan do after he returns to China?"

"Arrangements?" Mr. Cheng was taken aback by my question, "How do you plan to arrange for Mr. Gao?"

I blushed when I asked, what qualifications do I have, I dare not answer the old man's words, and said casually: "Is the official reinstated?"

"Bullshit!" Only then did Mr. Cheng react, and he stretched out his hand to slap someone and said, "What is reinstatement of an official? When did the court take the Gao family's official position? Just because they were captured, they will lose the title and seize the throne? I'm afraid Zhaoling The Emperor Taizong here didn't even agree!"

The old man suddenly turned his head when he said this, and asked before I could reply: "Looking down on Lao Gao? You kid is looking for death!"
