A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 167
"Erlang, when will you take me home to visit my uncle?"

In the morning, scored twice.

Irina hugged Huaiyu from behind and refused to let go, and mentioned entering Wu's house with a shy tone.An Yuanshou gave An Lu a dowry gift for Wu Huaiyu, and even transferred his family a restaurant in the name of Huaiyu.

Irina thought she was Huaiyu's concubine, and she couldn't wait to enter the Wu family, but Huaiyu was worried about Fan Xuanfu while she was getting dressed.

Thinking of the way she squinted her phoenix eyes, raised her eyebrows, and held a horse-slashing sword in her hand, Huaiyu suddenly shivered.

There is a gentle and gentle Runniang at home, and Irina, who is passionate and passionate, cannot be rejected here.
Both fish and bear's paws are desirable, men are always so greedy.

"I haven't told Ye Niang about this yet, give me a few days, and I'll talk to Aye Niang first, and then I'll pick you up."

How did the scumbag cultivate into it? I guess it's all in this process.

As the saying goes, those who are close to ink are black, and if you have a malicious heart and a big environment, you can't avoid it.

"I'm going to court first."

"Then come back early after you're off duty, I'll wait for you."

Huaiyu is really reluctant to part with her, this orchid is passionate, charming and charming, and unrestrained and enthusiastic, compared with the two Gao sisters at home, it is really heaven and earth.In fact, the Gao sisters also have good facial features, but they are not beautiful, and they have suffered a lot because they have not even served in the palace. .

Compared with Run Niang, a courtyard is not at all attractive.

"Okay." Wu Huaiyu finally failed to reject her shy and expectant eyes.

After getting dressed, Irina kissed him goodbye before going out.

Anlu and Gaiya were going to make breakfast for Huaiyu. Huaiyu said he was in a hurry, so he left in a hurry. Fortunately, Yanshoufang was only two squares away from Huaiyuanfang, so they rode back to Huaiyuanfang to change clothes first.

"Why Erlang didn't come back all night last night, I'm so worried."

"Didn't I ask Xu Dalang to come back and say that I have something to do at night and I'm staying with my colleague An Dalang?"

"What's the matter, I have to stay for one night."

Runniang looked at Huaiyu suspiciously, and suddenly sniffed a few times.

"Erlang," she was full of jealousy, "Did An Dalang drag Erlang to drink flower wine and go out to play tricks?"

"Freeze said."

"Erlang has such a strong fragrance, it's obviously a woman's smell, and, there's that smell..." Run Niang blushed.

This little nose is really good, but Huaiyu herself didn't feel any smell.

"Has Erlang started to dislike slaves?"

"Nothing."

"Then why do you leave the family alone and go outside to flirt?" Chen Runniang was very proud and happy to see Huaiyu ignoring the second senior and only doting on her, but unexpectedly this morning she found Wu Huaiyu flirting outside.

Wu Huaiyu smiled awkwardly, and took her hand, "Don't think too much, it's actually just a social gathering among colleagues, you can't help yourself!"

Chen Run's mouth pouted angrily.

"Let's not talk about it, I have to change my clothes and go to court."

"Erlang, go take a bath first, or this body smells too strong..."

Runniang was jealous, but she still graciously helped Huaiyu take a bath and change clothes, and put on Ruiniuqianniu clothes. Huaiyu hurried out of the hospital and rode a horse to go to court.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, Erlang remember to come back early for reunion, don't spend the night outside." Run Niang did not forget to confess. "Erlang also knows how to entertain slaves outside, but he must never leave the housewife. If the censor finds out, he will be impeached and dismissed."

In the wing room in the backyard, the Gao sisters were sitting in the room, listening to Run Niang sending Huaiyu away outside, the hard-fated sworn sisters burst into tears.

It should have been Gao Hui'an's turn last night, but he waited all night without seeing anyone.

Who would have thought that Erlang would not want her when he was promiscuous outside.

Emotionally broken, she was ashamed and wanted to hang herself.

······
August [-]th, the lunar new year.

All officials above the ninth grade in Beijing must go to court.

The ministers see the emperor as the court, and the emperor sees the ministers as the meeting, collectively called the court meeting. The first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year is also called Shuo Ri Wang Ri. In the Wude Dynasty, Shuo Wang did not form a system for attending the court.

But today is Li Shimin's first sunrise after he ascended the throne, so it is also extraordinarily grand.

Li Shimin sits in Xiande Hall and looks at the court.

Hundreds of officials wear trousers with pleats facing upwards, those below the sixth rank wear bright green, and those above the sixth rank wear red clothes.

The 24 thousands of bulls in the left and right mansions are ready, even half of them will be on duty today, wearing Rui Niu green embroidered clothes, hats with feathers, and standing in front of the emperor holding a domineering thousand bull knife.

Twelve Qianniu hold swords in their hands, and twelve bows and arrows on their left and right, standing under the throne.

Prestigious.

This is the third time for Huaiyu to go to the court, and the first time to participate in the Chang Dynasty as an enshrined priest in Tongshi Sheren. As a result, he was implicated by the small-eyed Xu Jingzong and fined one month's salary.

The second time he went to court as a military junior supervisor, and was ranked in the fifth-rank civil official class, but was impeached by Wei Zheng, a veteran, and the junior supervisor who had just been in office for three days was kicked out.

This is the third time to go to court, to participate in the Shuo Wang Dynasty, but as a bodyguard with a knife, facing all the officials and officials with a thousand-ox knife.

There are too many officials participating in the court meeting today, and the hall can only accommodate high-ranking officials. Most of the officials are outside the hall, under the corridor, or even on the square.

Having had two experiences, today's Wu Huaiyu is already very calm and composed, leaning on the five-foot-five thousand-ox knife to stand there, majestic and majestic.

He glanced back and forth among the princes, prime ministers, ministers, and servants in the hall below, many of them he already knew, and most of them he didn't know.

On the hall, there are shackles, crepe seats, incense burners, incense cases, and honor guards on display.

The doctor of the censor led the officials to the west veranda of the hall, and urged all the officials to go to work. Under the leadership of the supervisory censor, all the officials took their positions in the palace according to their ranks.

When everything was ready, the emperor came out to ascend the throne, and the officials sang praises in the ceremony and bowed again.

The enshrining class is in the front, and the east and west are opposed, and the rest of the officials are ranked according to their ranks, with civil left and military right.

Standing in different positions, you can feel the difference in the court meeting.

Today is such a grand Shuowang meeting, but Huaiyu just feels bored, maybe it was a little greedy last night, which delayed sleep, standing in front of the imperial court, Huaiyu was a little drowsy.

This orchid's fighting power is strong, too wild, and she almost didn't surrender last night.

Today's court meeting does not work, and the meeting does not discuss.

He just read out some imperial edicts, which made people doze off even more. He even felt that Li Shimin's holding this meeting was a bit too extravagant and wasteful.

Come twice a month, and don't discuss business seriously, so what's the need? I tossed the officials in the capital for a long time in the early morning. In the end, I couldn't even see the emperor's face. [-]% of the officials stood outside the palace. Well, I can blow the autumn wind outside and feel the breath of autumn.

If it's rain and snow in winter and spring, it's torture and punishment.

It was about to get up at five o'clock to go to bed, and by the time it was over, he had been standing for almost three hours. Huaiyu was so young that his legs felt a little numb from standing.

Three hours without a break, unable to drink water, go to the toilet, or even fart, it was a bit hard.

At this time, he began to hate Wei Zheng. If it weren't for this old-fashioned and old-fashioned man, he is now a young warden, even if he often goes to court every day, he would still be kneeling in the hall, which is much better than standing here and posing.

He found Wei Zheng in the palace. This guy was promoted again. He went to Hebei and Shandong to appease and build the old Yuanji Ministry. He completed the task excellently. After the Xuanwumen Incident, many local officials began to attack and clean up the old Yuanji Ministry, especially in Shandong. In the Hebei area, people panicked.

Wei Zheng traveled all over the Kanto region, proclaiming Li Shimin's will in a timely manner, and vindicated some unjust, false and wrong cases, which changed the somewhat out-of-control situation, and also made the old people who built Yuanji feel grateful for Li Shimin's pardon.

After returning to Beijing, Li Shimin honored his promise and named him the founder of Julu County, and not long after that, he was promoted from Zuo Jianyi doctor to Shangshu Zuocheng.

This is the official fourth-rank post, and Wei Zheng has been promoted four levels in a row.

Shangshu Zuocheng is an official of the Shangshu province, in charge of the three departments of officials, households, and rites. He is mainly responsible for the supervision affairs in the province. There are six departments in the Shangshu, three of which are supervised by Wei Zheng.

Although this official is not as high-ranking as the Shangshu, he has extremely heavy powers. He supervises the general affairs of the Shangshu Province together with Youcheng, leads the officials to supervise and audit the ministries and government affairs, supervises the recording of documents, and supervises the impeachment of servants, Shangshu and other civil and military officials. Known as the supervisor, he is also in charge of court rituals, ancestral temple sacrifices, and selection and appointment of officials.

This veteran has soared into the sky, and he has really gained Li Shimin's trust. Although he has not yet paid homage to the prime minister, he is already one step away from entering the political affairs hall.

If he made some more political achievements, maybe the emperor would directly give him a title of participating in political affairs, and he would be able to become a prime minister with the position of Shangshu Zuocheng.

irritating.

Other people's ministers, servants, servants, and doctors are responsible for specific affairs. This Wei Zheng is responsible for staring at others and checking their loopholes. I have to say that Li Shimin's appointment is quite appropriate. Wei Zheng belongs to the kind of talkative people.

But he is not a political talent like Fang Du. He is really good at monitoring people.

Maybe it's been too long.

Wei Zheng raised his head and shot a look.

The eyes of the two met and collided in the air.

The newly appointed Shangshu Zuocheng, the male from Julu County, who was nearly fifty years old, and Qianniu Beishen, the envoy of Qianqi, and the male from Daling County, one old and one young, looked at each other.

Huaiyu didn't look back, just looked at Wei Zheng directly, even condescendingly.

Wei Zheng looked at him without fear.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Wei Zheng withdrew his gaze first.

Huaiyu turned his back to Li Shimin, unaware that Wei Zheng withdrew his gaze, it was because Li Shimin's eyes were fixed on Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng withdrew his gaze.

Ending early.

Huaiyu's mission is not over, because the emperor wants to summon the Turkic envoy in Beiyuan, and Wu Huaiyu will continue to carry a thousand-ox sword to serve the emperor and cheer for the guard of honor.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin arrived.

Huaiyu was ordered to summon Houjian to face the saint.

Not far away, Zhi Sisi Li was a little impatient sitting under the shade of a tree. One of his entourage, a Turkic noble officer, stepped forward and asked the camp officer, "Let us wait here, is this the etiquette of your Tang people?"

"We need to see King Tang immediately."

"Please pay attention to the title, my lord is the emperor of the Central Plains and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, don't talk nonsense."

The nobleman pointed his horsewhip at the officer, "That's your emperor, not our emperor. When your grand emperor begged us to form an alliance with the Turks and send troops, you used the word Kai in your letters. Your emperors all bowed to us.
Now I, Turkic Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, have a combined army of one million, just north of Chang'an City, if you dare not submit, you will turn the entire Chang'an City into ruins..."

"Bold!" the camp officer scolded, "How dare a mere Turkic envoy be so rude?"

The entourage of the Turkic envoys actually openly said that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had surrendered to them the Turkic vassals, which the officers and soldiers in the camp could not bear.

Zhi Shi Si Li sat on the ponytail, but just watched with cold eyes, and did not reprimand his subordinates.

The entourage became more and more arrogant. Facing the scolding from the camp officer, he arrogantly swung his whip and whipped him.

Wu Huaiyu came over just in time to see this scene.

"Stop it, you guys are so brave, you dare to beat the imperial guards of my Great Tang Emperor in Chang'an Forbidden Garden of Great Tang!"

"What's the matter with beating you? I, the Turkic Khans, joined forces with millions of soldiers, and the soldiers are facing the Wei River. If you don't hurry up to pay tribute and cede land, we will break through your Chang'an City, and take your emperors alive and take them back to the grassland to graze sheep. You The Minister of Zhongshu was captured alive by us in Hedong last year, and now he is herding sheep in Mobei..."

Seeing that this guy was so arrogant, Huaiyu raised the Qianniu knife in his hand, and smashed it down without taking it out of its sheath.

That guy was a nobleman, very young and considered strong, but he didn't expect that Wu Huaiyu would dare to attack him, he was too arrogant to be guarded for a while, he was drawn on the face by Huaiyu's scabbard, blood splattered all over the place.

The bridge of the nose was also broken, and several teeth flew out.

Huaiyu hit a hit, but did not stop.

Instead, he continued to beat him with a knife, slapped his head and face hard, and knocked this guy unconscious on the ground. He was so whipped that he couldn't get up at all.

"stop!"

Zhishisili originally allowed his followers to make trouble, but he wanted to make it bigger so that he could beat the people of Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, a young military officer came suddenly and beat the Ashina family boy down with a few blows, his face was covered with blood, and he passed out.

"Bold, how dare you beat my Turkic envoy."

"Pooh!"

Huaiyu withdrew his knife and spat at the dead dog on the ground, "Since you barbarians don't know etiquette and dare to beat the guards of my Tang emperor in the forbidden garden of my Tang Dynasty, then I will teach you what etiquette is. "

"Who are you? I want to ask Emperor Tang to deal with you." Zhi lost his mind and blushed.

"Wu Huaiyu, a man from Daling County, who is holding Qianqi envoy, have you lost your mind?"

"I am the envoy of the Turkic Khan Zhishenli."

"Follow me, the saint summons you."

Zhi Shili looked at his subordinate who was still lying on the ground twitching, "Do you know who this is? He is the son of our Shibi Khan, the younger brother of Tuli Khan, Teqin Ashina, you must apologize to him Apologies, I will pay for your rudeness..."

Huaiyu spat again at the dead dog on the ground with disdain, "Even if he is Jieli, I will not be polite to him if he dares to insult Datang and the Emperor of Tang openly. If he dared to resist, my Qianniu Dao would have cut him in two.

Let's go, don't keep His Majesty waiting. "

Seeing the young imperial military officer look down on them so contemptuously, he trembled with anger.
