In the past two days, there has been a major earthquake in Tanzhou, and the doors of officials' residences have been closed.

The mansion of the former Hunan Provincial Governor Hao was also closed, and the front door and road were calm and unoccupied.

Qin Yueli fell off his horse, and shouted loudly in a loud voice: "Taishi Li came with His Majesty's holy decree, and Hao Mansion quickly opened the door to welcome the decree. ”

Soon, the bronze and iron main gate of Hao's mansion was all opened, and Lord Hao looked nervous, wearing an official hat and a purple official robe, and led his family out and knelt down.

Two of the officials beheaded today were promoted by Lord Hao when he was in office, and he even came to the birthday banquet yesterday.

Lord Hao did not expect that the two former subordinates would become corrupt officials within five years, and they still had murder cases on their bodies, and they actually committed capital crimes.

Today's announcement is made by Li Bing, the Taishi and Founding Marquis, and Lord Hao thinks that he has been implicated by two subordinates.

Li Bing, who was dressed in the purple official robe of the Taishi of Zhengyipin, had a calm face, peach blossom eyes and deep eyes, not angry but mighty, nodded slightly at Lord Hao to signal not to panic, stepped forward, unfolded the yellow holy decree in his hand, and read aloud: "Hao Ye is conscientious in his duties, hard work, cautious in his mind, and pure reputation." He is hereby named the governor of Hunan Province and the doctor of the third grade of gold purple Guanglu. Chin this. ”

The content of the will was to reuse Hao Ye as the governor of Hunan Province, and to raise his official position as a loose official to one level and become the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu.

Official positions are divided into four levels: upper, middle, lower, and non-stream.

Below the seventh grade is not in the stream. The seventh and sixth grades are inferior. The fifth and fourth grades are medium. The third, second, and first grades are superior.

Many Jinshi who came from scientific examinations could not enter the middle official position in their lifetime.

Although Hao Ye was born in the scientific expedition, he was an old minister of the Kai Dynasty, and he was just an official of the inferior officials in the Kai Dynasty, and He Dong was canonized and promoted him to a superior official several times.

Now that the two officials he had promoted before had committed capital crimes and beheaded him, He Dong did not hold him accountable for his unknown knowledge, let him continue to serve as the governor of the capital, and also promoted him to the official position of civil and prose official.

Hao Ye Lao burst into tears, kowtowed with great excitement and said loudly: "The minister's decree, thank Your Majesty for your holy grace, long live Your Majesty." ”

Everyone in the Hao family was very happy and kowtowed to thank him.

Li Bing handed over the holy decree to Hao Ye and said in a low voice: "Brother Hao, this holy decree has already been written and sent to me by the Imperial Forest Army. ”

The first time Hao Ye saw Li Bing, he was warmed by the phrase "Brother Hao", and he couldn't help but feel close.

Li Bing asked with concern: "You were sick yesterday, but I was worried." How are you doing now? ”

Hao Ye's face was full of gratitude, and he said excitedly: "Taishi, thanks to the magic medicine of the county lord of Jing, he saved the life of the lower official. Xia Guan was able to eat some liquid food at dusk yesterday. ”

Li Bing turned his head to the carriage and said loudly: "Jing Niang, don't help Wang Lao out." ”

Li Jingjing poked her little head out of the thick carriage curtain, pouted and said in a small voice: "Grandpa, what you just said is that without your order, we can't get off the carriage." ”

She carried a small basket covered with blue flowers, Doctor Wang, and Qin Yue got out of the carriage amid the bow and gratitude of the Hao family, followed Li Bing and Hao Ye into the Hao Mansion, and went directly to the hall of the outer courtyard.

The Hao family looked at Li Jingjing today with respect and gratitude and more fear, except for Hao Chao, who was more than four years old, they didn't dare to come forward to talk to her.

Li Bing asked Dr. Wang to check Hao Ye's pulse, and after listening to the diagnosis, he asked Li Jingjing to give Hao Ye medicine.

Hao Ye hurriedly said: "Taishi, the Lord of Jing County has already left medicine yesterday. ”

Li Bingzheng said solemnly: "Brother Hao, you are sick now and have to deal with piles of official affairs, I am afraid that you are too tired to stand it, so I specially asked Jing Niang to make medicine to reduce fatigue for you today." ”

Li Jingjing took out a small black jar weighing one pound from the small basket, put it on the table next to Hao Ye, blinked with big eyes, and said seriously: "Grandpa Hao, there is anti-aging powder here, you take half a fingernail cover every morning and evening and drink it with warm water, you will be energetic and will not feel tired." ”

Doctor Wang couldn't help but smile and said, "My lord, I took anti-aging powder before Xia Guan came, and the tiredness in my body disappeared quickly, and I didn't feel excited, and the medicine was very effective, and there were no side effects." ”

Hao Ye hurriedly thanked Li Bing and Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing shook her head and said, "No thanks." ”

Qin Yue proudly said to Hao Ye's eldest son: "Look at how atmospheric my niece is. Glancing at it, seeing that Hao Ye's second grandson and husband were not present, the black face showed a satisfied smile.

Li Bing and Hao Ye went to the study to talk about political affairs.

Qin Yue, Doctor Wang and Li Jingjing waited in the hall, and Hao Ye's eldest son, Hao Ye's youngest granddaughter, and Hao Chao stayed to accompany them.

About an hour later, Li Bing took Doctor Wang and Li Jingjing to leave in a carriage still escorted by Qin Yue.

Hao Ye watched the carriage disappear, and after yesterday's life and death struggle, thinking carefully about what Li Bing said when he left, he finally made up his mind, gathered his family to the hall, and sent his servants to invite a few relatives to be witnesses, but he actually divided the family.

Hao Ye has only one wife in his life, and there is no concubine room. All three of his sons were born to his wife.

The eldest son's family all stayed in Haofu and inherited the family business in the future.

The second son and the third son both moved out of Hao's mansion to set up another door, and Hao Ye compensated each family with 60,000 taels of silver, three shops, 500 acres of land, and 12 antiques.

Hao Ye was upright all his life, and the total amount of money and rewards issued by the two dynasties was less than 20,000 taels of silver. His wife came from a wealthy family and had a rich dowry.

His compensation for his second and third sons came from the dowry left by his wife.

Hao Ye's second and third sons had already inquired about their mother-in-law's dowry, and today they got these, and they were only one percent less than the eldest son, so they immediately agreed.

Hao Ye's second and third sons hesitated for a moment, then nodded and pressed their handprints on the separation list.

Hao Ye gave the second and third sons a month to move out a year ago.

The second and third sons had been doing business outside, and even their sons had a house outside.

Their wives had long wanted to separate the Lu and go alone, so they immediately ordered their subordinates to pack their belongings, and they all moved out of the Lu the next day.

Hao Ye's eldest son's family was secretly happy. It turned out that most of the expenses in the house over the years were paid by them, and the second son and the third son were less reasonable, not to mention that they always wanted to take the housekeeping power.

Hao Ye didn't expect to split up, but the relationship between the three sons was better, and it was better to split up after the death of his wife.

There is only the eldest son in the family, and there is no chaos, and the energy saved by Hao Ye is used for official affairs.

Hao Ye's separation is even more shocking than the succession of the governor of Hunan Province, no one knows that Hao Ye can make up his mind to split up because he listened to Li Bing's advice.

Seven days have passed, and on the surface, a major incident has happened again in Hunan Province, which has calmed down, and this time it is even more earth-shattering than the beheading of the governor of Hunan Province.

More than 3,000 people from the families of the Hunan Provincial Governor, Tan Governor Shi and other criminal ministers and his subordinates were escorted to the north by the 1,000 troops of Hunan Province, passing through the Yan Gorge at the junction of Hunan Province and Hubei Province, and were ambushed by a mysterious army of 3,000 people.

It turned out that this mysterious army was the personal soldiers of the King of Hunan of the Kai Dynasty, who had disappeared for more than ten years, and the remnants of the Kai Dynasty.

When the rebel army captured Tanzhou, the king of Hunan saw that the general trend of the Kai Dynasty had gone, so he led his own soldiers and his family to hide in the mountains and forests, occupied the mountains as kings, and disguised himself as grass cowards.

At that time, Hao Yegang was the governor of Hunan Province, and he wrote to the imperial court to send troops to exterminate the grass cowards.

The king of Hunan did not want to expose his military strength, pretended to be defeated, abandoned the two mountains, and caused the assumption that the main force was annihilated, so he lived in seclusion in the mountains and did not dare to come out.

Five years ago, Hao Ye was dismissed from his post and resigned, and the new governor of Hunan Province took office, and the king of Hunan learned that this person was cowardly, greedy for money, and lustful, so he sent someone to kidnap the daughter of the governor and became the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law.

Three years ago, the king of Hunan kidnapped the daughter of Governor Shi of Tan and became the second granddaughter-in-law.

The governor of Hunan Province and Changshi were afraid that the scandal would be exposed, so they had to secretly become in-laws with the king of Hunan.

Two years ago, the king of Hunan changed the identity of a rich concubine to his two concubines, one became the concubine of the eldest son of the governor, and the other became the wife of the eldest son of the governor of Tan.

At the beginning of last year, the king of Hunan came to Tanzhou, officially met with the two in-laws, discussed the rebellion, and prepared to wait for the rebellion of the imperial court after the third defeat of the Dingchao army in Qingcheng, and occupy the entire Hunan Province.

The king of Hunan sent 3,000 troops, the governor of Hunan Province sent 5,000 troops, and the combined army was 8,000, taking Qi Ziyang, the second son of the governor of Hubei Province, who was studying in Tanzhou Academy, as a hostage to take Hubei Province, and then combined Hunan and Hubei troops to capture all the cities south of the Yangtze River.

If this great cause can be successful, the king of Hunan will ascend the throne and claim that the emperor will restore the dynasty, and the governor of Hunan Province will be canonized as the regent, and the governor of Tan will be the king of Tan, and the descendants of the three will share the glory and wealth.

If the army of the Ding Dynasty came to attack, the king of Hunan would use the Yangtze River as a barrier to resist to the end, as long as he held for two years, the country would be stable, and the division of the Ding Dynasty into two became a foregone conclusion.

The governor of Hunan Province and the governor of Tan, Shi Ming, promised the king of Hunan, but secretly did not cooperate, thinking about delaying the death of the king of Hunan, and on the other hand, thinking of snatching back the two daughters.

When the king of Hunan found out, he was furious and put pressure on his two daughters-in-law to write letters to their families.

After receiving the letter, the governor of Hunan Province was afraid that the king of Hunan would kill his concubine in anger, so he agreed that the king of Hunan would send someone to take over the 2,000 troops of Hunan Province.

At that time, Qin Xiongye held a vacant position in the army of Hunan Province. The governor of Hunan Province was afraid that this matter would be discovered by Qin Xiongye, so he allowed Qin Xiongye to remove the tigers, and sure enough, as he expected, Qin Xiongye was seriously injured and returned to his home for 100 days.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the good news came from the north that the Ding Dynasty army had easily occupied Qingcheng, but this was a huge bad news for the king of Hunan, who was so angry that he vomited blood and was seriously ill and bedridden, and died last month.

A few days ago, the beheading of the governor of Hunan Province and the governor of Tan Province spread that their daughters, the two granddaughters-in-law of the king of Hunan, forced their relatives to save their relatives by death, forcing the husband to plot with the people of the Hunan Provincial Army to rob people inside and outside.

So four days ago, the 3,000 troops of the king of Hunan hid in Yan Gorge and ambushed the army escorting the families of the criminals.

The two armies fought, and the army of the prince of Hunan was large and had a geographical advantage, while the army of Hunan Province was small, and the long journey lost its strength, and it soon showed defeat.

He Jingyan led a miscellaneous army of 300 people composed of soldiers, Taoists, and Taoist aunts descended from the sky.

The thief captured the king first, and He Jingyan shot two arrows to kill the two grandsons of the king of Hunan.

Li Yunqing planted the banner of the Tiger Ben Army on the top of the mountain, and killed all the enemy soldiers who approached him.

The crowd shouted "The tiger runs mighty, and those who do not surrender will be killed!" The slogan, with a bang, entered from the periphery, and killed the hearts of the Hunan prince's soldiers and soldiers to kneel and surrender.

The Huben army and the 300 people of Qingyunguan martial arts priest Daogu joined and immediately turned the tide of the battle, from afternoon to dusk, the battle lasted for nearly two hours, and the soldiers of the prince of Hunan were killed 700 people, and the rest of the people all surrendered.

The governor of Hubei Province sent his eldest son, Qi Zijue, to lead 2,000 troops to respond, take away all the families of the guilty ministers and escort them to the north, and send the wounded of the Hunan Provincial army to the nearby city government for medical treatment.

He Jingyan and Li Yunqing took the miscellaneous army and 500 officers and soldiers to rush overnight, and at dawn they entered the lair of the king of Hunan, and the resisters were beheaded on the spot, and those who surrendered with weapons were tied up with ropes, and all the family members of the king of Hunan were captured alive, and three sets of dragon robes and a number of treasures and antique calligraphy and paintings were found.

The body of the king of Hunan was buried in the mountains, and He Jingyan was afraid that the king of Hunan would deceive, so he deliberately let the martial artists who came with him do the rituals, and then dug the grave and opened the coffin for autopsy.

The king of Hunan had an unknown secret during his lifetime, and the toe of his right foot was seven toes, which was different from ordinary people.

The crown of the corpse in the tomb is wearing a dragon robe that is not completely corrupted, and the right foot is the seven-bone toe, and the identity must not be wrong, it is the king of Hunan who has been haunted by He Dong and mysteriously disappeared for many years.

He Jingyan set fire to the corpse, dug up the precious antique jewelry that accompanied the burial and put it in a wooden box, and gave it to Qingyunguan.

Everything was done, and He Jingyan and Li Yunqing escorted the Hunan Wang family and the remnants of the Kai Dynasty to return to Tanzhou in triumph.

He Jingyan deliberately waited for the day to enter from the main gate, waving the banner of the Tiger Ben Army, and moving slowly and mightily, so that the people would know that the Dingchao army was mighty and brave, and the army of several thousand people of the Kaichao Dynasty was defeated by a few hundred.

On this day, the weather is rare and clear, the blue sky is cloudless, the winter sun shines on the land of Tanzhou, the temperature rises, and there is a lot less cold.

Qu Kuaishou's house in Qujia Village set up four tables of wine and food, Qu Kuaishou, Li Laoshi, Li Yunqing, Qu Changchang, the old patriarch and his son sat on the table, and the rest of the men and women of the Qu clan were accompanied by Deng's, Qu Duo, and Xiao Deng's to sit down at three tables, and they were eating the full moon wine of Qu Duo and Xiao Deng's second son.

It stands to reason that when the Lin family died, the Qu family should not hold a banquet, but because today's noble Li Laoshi father and son came in person, Qu Kuaishou asked Qu Shun, so he set up a banquet in the name of welcoming distinguished guests.

Qu Shun was cautious to prevent people from other villages from shutting down, so that Qu Kuaishou didn't even set off firecrackers, and closed the door to eat a very low-key banquet.

The old patriarch drank rice, talked more, and asked: "Lord Shizi, I heard that the king of Hunan has died a long time ago, and it is his two grandsons who are making trouble this time. ”

Li Yunqing's eyes were clear, and he replied: "The king of Hunan died last month, and his two grandsons took the risk of taking 3,000 soldiers to rob military slaves in order to save their father-in-law's family. ”

Qu Chang looked at Li Yunqing expectantly, and said excitedly: "I heard from the students in the academy that you led the troops to destroy the old nest of the king of Hunan, is this true or false?" ”

"How can I have such skills?" Li Yunqing said frankly: "The leader of the troops is the nephew of His Majesty's relatives, the general of the Tiger Benjun Army, King Yanjun. ”

Qu Kuaishou asked anxiously: "Then did you go?" ”

"King Yanjun took me and asked me to guard the banner of the Tiger Ben Army." Li Yunqing took a sip of wine from the bowl, expelled the panic in his heart that day, and said solemnly: "In order to keep the flag from falling, I killed four enemy soldiers with my own hands. ”

"Well done!" Qu Kuaishou slapped his thigh very excitedly, and said loudly: "If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely ask your grandfather for orders to follow the Tiger Ben Army to kill the enemy soldiers, and I would be majestic." ”

Deng's face changed slightly when he heard this.

Tian, who was sitting next to the Deng family, asked softly, "Sister-in-law, I don't know how Sister Zhu is doing?" ”

Deng Shi showed a proud smile, his expression was a little proud, and he said in a low voice: "The Lord of Zhu County is doing very well, if it weren't for the fact that the Taishi is not in good health, he will go back to the village to eat the full moon wine this time." ”

Tian revealed his true feelings and said slowly: "In the past few days when she has been gone, I always think of the time I spent doing needlework with her. ”

The status of the Tian family became even higher in the village with Qu Shun becoming the patriarch and the second son marrying the official's daughter.

The person she used to be able to say to her heart was Qu's, but now she has nowhere to say.

Deng often thought of Qu's, his eyes were a little moist, patted Tian's hand, and said with some emotion: "Looking back for the New Year, let's go to the Hou Mansion to see her." ”

Deng is seven years older than Qu.

She married from a very poor village in the mountains to the county seat, and when she became a guest of Qu Kuaishou, Qu was a young girl who was less than ten years old.

At that time, she had no dowry, she spoke with a mountain accent, she was laughed at by her neighbors, she couldn't open her mouth when she went out to buy vegetables every day, Qu never laughed at her, she worked diligently, and she didn't provoke her relationship with Qu Kuaishou.

She is close to Qu as a sister than an aunt and sister-in-law.

When everyone had eaten the full moon wine, they all dispersed.

Li Laoshi and Li Yunqing took out the handwritten letter written by Li Bing to Qu Kuaishou.

Qu Kuaishou didn't know many words, so he handed the letter to Qu Changchang to read.

After reading the letter, Qu Chang said excitedly: "Brother, there is a shortage of trustworthy officials in Tanzhou, I want to recommend you to be the general of Tanzhou's lower government, how about it?" ”

Qu Duoxi couldn't help but shout: "Grandpa, don't go down to the mansion to be a military attache from the seventh grade, you are about to respond." ”

Qu Kuaishou raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "My brother-in-law actually wants to recommend me to be a seven-rank officer, how can I miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." I answered! ”

He stayed in the county government for many years older than Qu Duo, and he had already memorized the official position of this dynasty backwards, and he knew that he would not be the general of the lower government of the Dao Dao.

His martial arts skills are high, but he has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he has not made any military merits, let alone a seventh-rank officer, even an eighth-rank officer.

Xiao Deng said happily: "Grandma, if grandpa becomes a seven-rank military attaché, you will be an official's wife." ”

Deng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly thanked Li Laoshi and his son with Qu Kuaishou.

Li Laoshi's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Uncle, my father said that the first thing he did after taking office in this official position was quite tricky, let me explain it to you clearly in advance, and you will decide after you think it through." ”

Qu Kuaishou smiled without changing, and said affectionately: "What is the tricky matter, you can tell your uncle quickly." ”
