A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 637 Knocked out Hou Junji’s teeth
Wu Huaiyu sent Qin Qiong all the way back to the house, but did not enter the house. He said goodbye at the door and turned to leave.

One hundred elite Imperial Guard cavalry were waiting on the street, and another forty tiger warriors held tiger-skin scabbards and painted wooden swords standing beside them.

Jinwu Guards, Hu Shi Ban Sword.

"Wu Xiang!"

"Go home."

Among the hundreds of elite knights, a group of knights immediately took the lead in clearing the way, and Street Shop Wuhou also immediately shouted at the top of his voice to clear the way.

"When the military prime minister goes out, idle people stay away!"

All the way back to Xuanyangfang, under the protection of the imperial army, no pedestrians fought for the road on the wide road, and everyone retreated to both sides to give way.

Countless eyes on the roadside were looking at Duke Wu Ling.
It was still early in the day, the street drums on the Sixth Street Bell and Drum Tower were still beating loudly, the gates of Chang'an City were opened one after another, and the scholars, citizens, and merchants also began their busy day.

The Wu family of Xuanyang Prefecture.

Fan Xuanfu and others also got up early, dressed up and were waiting, and specially sent someone to wait outside the imperial city. As soon as Huaiyu left the palace, the servants hurriedly rode home to report the news.

Duke of Jin.

The door plaque has been replaced with a new one, the Wutou gate has been increased, the gallery inside the gate has been expanded, and the number of halberds inside the gate has also been increased.

It has been increased to fourteen halberds. This is the treatment that only those who have been granted the title of Duke and the second-rank minister of the Shangzhu State can at least hold the post of Grand Governor. Otherwise, even if the Duke is added to the second-rank position, there will only be twelve halberds at most. .

"Alang, our Wu family's family status is high again,"

The hunchback Wu Cheng came up to him excitedly. Although he was hunchbacked, he was the first slave Wu Huaiyu had taken. In the past few years, he had also been guarding the door for the Wu family, from Sanyuan cave dwellings, to Huaiyuanfang courtyard, to Yongxing'an mansion, and now. This high gate,
Wu Cheng felt that he had been very successful in his life. As Alang became a higher official, so did his sect.

As the house got bigger, there were naturally more doors. Wu Cheng was now in charge of all the doors of the Wu family. He was in charge of many servants and was known as the concierge. He even wore a decent gown.

Every day he went to the gate in person, and the people he met were all officials from the capital, officials and scholars, no matter whether they were Dukes or Zi Fei, no one was allowed to be polite to him.

Huaiyu looked at the unfamiliar gate of the mansion, and then looked at Wu Cheng, who was also somewhat unfamiliar. The changes in the family were indeed quite big.

Although I stayed here for a long time last summer, it has only been less than a year, and my family has changed so much. I don’t know how many times the courtyard has been changed.

Every time you get promoted, you need to renovate it once, make it taller and deeper. Other families may be able to renovate it once or twice in their lifetime, but the Wu family may have to renovate it several times a year.

Deep inside the courtyard, under the expanded porch, in addition to the fourteen halberds standing there, demonstrating the status of the Wu family, there were actually fourteen halberd-wielding guards.

They even wore armour.

After asking, I found out that this was also arranged by the emperor. Wuhou, who was transferred from the Wuhou Guards, also known as the Jinwu Guards, took turns holding halberds and standing guard here day and night.

"Alang,"

Fan Xuanfu came out with his concubines and concubines. When he saw Wu Huaiyu's face looked tired and smelled of alcohol, he couldn't help but feel distressed, "I haven't slept all night, how much have I drunk? Go back home quickly and wash up and sleep. "

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, the children have grown up a lot, and the eldest son, Chengsi, has grown a lot taller. Standing there holding his mother's hand, he seemed to feel that Huaiyu was a bit strange.

"Dalang, don't you recognize Aye?"

Huaiyu took out a Dongzhu, which was round and huge, crystal clear, and light gold in color. This was a precious pearl produced in the Songhua River of Mohe. The Mohe people used the Dongqing to catch swans and collected the pearls.

As expected, the child fell in love with the bead as soon as he saw it and became very happy.
"Call Aye,"

"Aye,"

"Take it, boy."

The other older children couldn't help but come forward when they saw their eldest brother got a light golden pearl.
"Just call it Aye,"

So a group of children started shouting impatiently. They were a little unfamiliar just now, but now they are familiar with it.

Waiting for someone to get an East Pearl, how can there be any life left.

"These are Dongzhu from Mohe, Liaodong. With this size and color, these are the finest Dongzhu. Children don't know how precious they are. It would be a pity to lose them while playing."

The East Pearl was a top luxury product in Chang'an City, and was considered a treasure along with the South Pearl produced in Hepu, Lingnan Province. Once upon a time, a top-quality East Pearl appeared in Chang'an, attracting many dignitaries to compete for it, and was eventually sold to Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong for 200 Bought for ten thousand dollars.

A pearl is worth two thousand pearls,

Although the beads Huaiyu gave to his sons are definitely not as good as Li Xiaogong's, the light golden color is also the best among the East beads. The size and texture are also very good. One pearl is worth a hundred thousand yuan, and it can be replaced with A BMW.

"One is only worth a hundred dollars. It's just a gift for Aye's children. They won't lose it casually."

Fan Xuanfu, Qiu family, Yun family and others all came from well-known families, and each of them had a lot of dowry. They didn't care about Bai Laiguan, but were happy that Alang was so generous to the children, which showed that they were interested in him, especially the rare treatment of all people, regardless of male or female, legitimate concubines. , one per person.

The hunchback Wucheng stood nearby and didn't even feel the slightest bit moved when he heard that Bai Guan's beads were used as gifts and toys for young men and young women.

When he first came to Beijing, he often stole meat and bones from Huaiyu's two dogs and ate them. Now that his horizons are higher, he can't even feel anything.

"Come home quickly,"

After entering the house, this baby was hugged, that baby was lifted up, kissed and pinched, and it felt hard to understand.

"I have prepared gifts for you, but they are still on the way."

Huaiyu's main luggage was to go south with the Yang family, and they took a boat along the canal south and then west to Chang'an with their baby under the age of [-]. They stopped and stopped on the way for an hour and a half before they could reach there.

"Who cares about that," Fan Xuanfu said.

Runniang felt sorry for Huaiyu who had been up all night and drank for so long, "Alang wants to eat something, I'll get it for you."

"Just have millet porridge and a steamed cake,"

"I'll go to the kitchen and get it right away."

Sanniang had been standing nearby without coming forward. Huaiyu discovered that she was already pregnant and would give birth in a month or two.

Huaiyu took her hand and took her pulse directly.
"Well, the pulse is very stable. The little guy actually knew that Aye was coming and was kicking in his stomach."

Li Qing gained some weight, stroking his big belly with a smile, "Girl or boy?"

"Didn't Sanniang see a doctor?"

"No,"

"It's a girl." Li Sanniang didn't care whether it was a son or a daughter. She was very happy to hear that it was a daughter.
The front hall is very lively.

Even the entire Duke's Palace of Jin was moved because of Wu Huaiyu's return.

I greeted and chatted with my wives and concubines, and from time to time the steward came over to say hello.

Amidst the commotion, Huaiyu finished eating the millet porridge and steamed buns that Chen Runniang brought from the kitchen, and Fan Xuanfu immediately showed off his ladylike demeanor and drove everyone back.

"Let Alang take a bath and then have a good sleep. Please say hello if you are okay for a while."

Everyone was reluctant to leave, especially the concubines, who had not seen anyone for more than half a year. It was not easy to come back, and everyone had not had a turn to chat.

After taking a nice hot bath to relax and soothe my body, I went back to my room and lay down on the newly made warm and comfortable couch, and fell asleep immediately.

When I woke up, it was evening.

Many people came to see Wu Huaiyu during the day, but they were all blocked by Fan Xuanfu. She personally guarded the entrance to Huaiyu's courtyard during the day, not letting anyone in to disturb her.
She really felt sorry for her husband. When she came back this time, she felt obviously haggard.

During the New Year period, my husband led his army to attack in the ice and snow outside the Great Wall all day long. Although he made great achievements, he rushed back to Chang'an without stopping.

Those who rushed to visit only knew that Jinwu was the master of the Jin Dynasty who guarded the house and fought fiercely. Now he was even more appreciated and relied upon by the saints. The director of the East Palace Army is Tejin, Shangzhuguo, Prince Shaoshi, Bachelor of Chongxianguan, and the Duke of Jin with a title of [-] households.

True power is so high that it is so hot that if you can climb it, your future will be unclear.
But who would feel sorry for his hard work for her.

"Alang, I'm hungry. What do you want to eat? I asked the kitchen to get some." Fan Xuanfu asked.

"It's so late, has everyone eaten?"

"not yet."

"It's still the old rule. We eat together in the restaurant. It's rare to have a lively meal together at home."

"Okay." Fan Xuanfu went to make arrangements. When Wu Huaiyu was not at home, each hospital had its own food.

Dinner was lively.

In the huge restaurant, there are groups of wives and concubines, and the hall is full of children.

"Alang,"

"Shijiao Li is here."

This is the third time Li Yi's Mansion has come to the Duke of Jin's Mansion today. He came in the morning, again in the afternoon, and now again.

"Didn't I tell him to come back in a few days?" Fan Xuanfu didn't like his husband's student because he was too clingy.

"Shi Li said that something important happened. Something happened to General Su."

"Brother Su?"

Huaiyu asked someone to invite Li Yifu in, but he didn't let him go to the study room without being too discreet, and directly asked him to come to the dining room.

"You haven't had dinner yet, let's come together and chat while we eat."

Li Yifu no longer looked as cheerful as usual, but frowned, "Teacher, something happened to General Su Dingfang,"

"Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly."

Su Lie beat Hou Junji, and then Su Lie was imprisoned.

Hearing this, Wu Huaiyu stopped with the chopsticks in his hand, in disbelief.

But it does happen,

In the afternoon, Hou Junji went to the Ministry of War to take up his post and perform his new duties. Although he was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he also had the title of prime minister to participate in government affairs, so there was a set of grand ceremonies when traveling.

There were five hundred people shouting in front, followed by formations of halberds, swords, shields, bows and spears, maple drums, golden trumpets, ceremonial knives and fans, and assistants accompanying them.

Halfway through, an accident happened. A group of people in front couldn't escape and were whipped by the guard who was clearing the way. As a result, the horse was frightened and rushed to the roadside to avoid the crowd. Seeing that it was trampling and injuring people, Su Dingfang happened to be coming from another street. He was also going to the Imperial Palace. Reported by the Chengzuo Tunwei Yamen Guards,

Su Lie's troops rushed to control the frightened horse and rescued pedestrians on the roadside in danger.
That piece was very skillful and timely. This was originally a good thing, but when subduing the frightened horse, he knocked over a Wu Bai who was shouting in the guard of honor.

When Hou Junji saw that it was Su Lie's person, he didn't know where his muscles were. His soldiers rushed into the prime minister's guard of honor and insisted on being flogged twenty times in public.

Su Lie stepped forward to reason and beg for mercy, but Hou Junji instead asked his men to add twenty more sticks and to whip him again.

He directly held the person down in front of Su Ding and then beat him with a cane. The blows were quick and cruel, and the result was that he was beaten to death in three to five blows.

Now Su Dingfang couldn't help it anymore, and immediately ran away and started fighting Hou Junji on the street. Hou Junji was also a fierce general in his early thirties.

Su Lie is also at this age and equally brave and sturdy.

But he didn't expect that Su Dingfang would dare to beat him in the street. As a result, Su Dingfang pulled him off his horse and hit him hard with his fists while riding underneath him.

A fierce general from Guanzhong, a fierce general from Hebei,
They had fought against each other on the battlefield in Hebei. No one thought that one day General Youwei, who was a minister in the same palace, would fight with General Zuotunwei in the street.

So unexpected.

Although Hou Junji's guards quickly stepped forward and dragged Su Dingfang away, it was said that Hou Junji's nose was broken, two teeth were missing, one eye was blood red, and his face was bleeding, making him very embarrassed.

Su Dingfang's all-out attack was as fast and accurate as his thousands-mile attack on Jie Li.

Wu Huaiyu's chopsticks dropped to the ground in shock.

"Where is General Su now?"

"Your Majesty sent a hundred cavalry to take General Su to Dali Temple. He is now in Dali Temple Prison."

"Where's Hou Junji?"

"I am temporarily locked up in the province by His Majesty,"

"Your Majesty said that the court meeting tomorrow will be heard by the three departments."

Li Yifu had just been promoted to the Supervisory Censor, and he was also a direct bachelor of the Chongxian Hall of the East Palace. The prince served as a lecturer. After learning about this, he immediately rushed to inform the teacher. After all, Su Lie was the teacher's senior brother and Li Jing's eldest disciple.
