Chapter 185: Removing the Shackles
The holy decree arrived in Shuozhou seven days later, and Sun Xiangfu didn't expect that Yu Chi Baolin would come with the team announcing the decree, but after the attendants read the holy decree, he understood that Yu Chigong was a native of Shanyang, Shuozhou, and his so-called Shanyang County Hou was sealed in his hometown.
Shanyang County is located in the southeast of Shuozhou, its county seat is located on the Sanggan River, the former Sui called it Shenwu City, but it was once broken and ruled by the Turks during the Great Cause period, the so-called Shenwu City has long existed in name only, and there are more than 1,000 families living in the dilapidated city outline, most of them are people with Hu blood like Yu Chi.
There is almost no arable land in Shanyang County, and because of the abundant water and grass in the surrounding area, the tenacious people who live here prefer to live by grazing, and they actually have no sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, because since the former Sui Dynasty, they were once ruled by the Turks and Liang Shidu.
"Mother's legs, I can finally pick this thing this time this time, you buy it, take it for me and burn it."
Sun Xiangfu was not so excited and happy because he won the title of a county marquis, what made him happiest was that the shackles around his neck were removed.
"Hehe, Marquis Sun, Sun Changshi, the old slave still has a message from His Majesty here!"
After Sun Xiangfu bowed his hand and bent down to listen, the waiter said, "Your Majesty said: I will spare you this time, it is because the country needs you, if you can't handle the errand in Shuozhou, I will immediately withdraw your title and shackle you for the rest of your life." ”
From Li Shimin's tone, Sun Monkey fully felt Li Shimin's willingness to put a golden hoop spell on himself, and this feeling of not being able to clean him up made Li Shimin very unhappy, a bit like a child's temper, and he was stiff. But it is also possible that this is because Li Shimin sees him more and more as his own person, and only when he treats him as his own person will he speak so unobstructed.
"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust." After listening to the message, Sun Xiangfu said helplessly.
Just about to get up, the waiter said again. "We still have the queen's message here."
"Well, that, listen to you." Sun Xiangfu bowed down again.
"Niangniang said that if you are a retainer for a day, you have to consider the royal family for the rest of your life, and the spices produced in Shuozhou should be supplied to the palace free of charge, which can be regarded as filial piety to the former master mother of the palace."
"That, the minister asked, how much spices are consumed in the palace every year?"
"Hehe, no more, no less, only three thousand stones."
"Me."
Sun Xiangfu really didn't dare to say the word 'day', he used 3,000 stone spices a year, and you should eat it as food! If the three thousand stone spices are sold at the market price, it will be hundreds of thousands, and the eldest grandson will dare to open this mouth.
"I, what should I do? Only 3,000 stone spices, the land of Shuozhou is supplied. Sun Xiangfu hurriedly put away the swear words he was about to spit out, and said sharply.
Wait for Shuozhou's spices to be planted, 3,000 stone spices are just the output of 3,000 acres of land, and now their identity is different, they are Shuozhou's long history and Tuntian envoy, in the case that the imperial court did not send Shuozhou to assassinate the history, he is the justifiable chief here, although Li Ji is the governor of the state, but after he takes office in this long history, he will also transfer the local political and people's livelihood management power to him, there is such a big right, what is it to give 3,000 stone spices to the harem.
"In this way, Niangniang is in Chang'an, waiting for the spices of the Hou Ye."
Sun Xiangfu was originally born as a retainer, yes, the chamberlains regarded him as their own person, and after finishing the business, they chatted with Sun Xiangfu about some recent things that happened in Chang'an, in fact, Sun Xiangfu took the initiative to ask, that is, some news about the envoy of the Japanese State coming to Chang'an next year, he has suffered a lot for the affairs of the Japanese people, but he can't let these sufferings be in vain.
After sending away the waiter, Sun Xiangfu ordered a banquet in the cheers of the people in the death row camp, this time the waiter was not only for Sun Xiangfu to come to announce the decree, the people in the death row camp contributed to the court this time, the crime was reduced by two degrees, and the death penalty was changed to exile, and this place of exile was Shuozhou, so they will be the people under Sun Xiangfu in the future.
"Brother Sun, the younger brother will also be a military attache under you in the future."
When the chamberlain left, Wei Chi Baolin had the opportunity to talk to Sun Xiangfu, this young man who was getting stronger and stronger was also Sun Xiangfu's old friend, but when he heard that he came to Shuozhou to be an official, Sun Xiangfu was a little surprised.
"You look like you're only fourteen years old! What kind of official did you come to Shuozhou? ”
"Hehe, the younger brother had the status of a military officer as a lieutenant of Yilu when he was five years old, and now, it's just worthy of the name."
Sun Xiangfu almost forgot that Yu Chi Baolin was a second generation official, the second generation of officials at this time, especially the second generation of Jiangmen, all had the title of a loose official from the time they were born, which is the so-called Feng's wife and shadow.
Wei Chigong's credit is very great, so Li Shimin's reward for his son is also very high, Captain Yilu is a martial arts officer on the seventh grade, if he is given this rank and gives him real power, then he can almost be the second or third in command in the establishment of the Shuozhou Shuozhou Unity Battalion, after all, the rank of the captain of the Xiazhou Camp is only from the sixth grade.
Of course, what position to hold, in the absence of the history of the assassin, but also Sun Xiangfu this long history to arrange, no way, the magistrates of the Tang Dynasty have such a big power, this is also one of the main reasons for the demise of the Tang Dynasty, the history of the assassin is in charge of all the military and political affairs of a state, the power of the festival is greater, and some even manage one or even several military and political powers, Taizong period is very well controlled, generally by the princes and ministers in Chang'an, after Gaozong, it was gradually played bad.
patted Wei Chi Baolin's thick shoulder, Sun Xiangfu laughed and said, "That's right, you will mess with your brother in the future, after eating this meal, we will be the commander of Li Du to handle the handover." ”
"That is, Cheng Chumo, that kid can't come if he wants to! You don't know yet! He was sent by His Majesty to the Yinzhou Unity Camp as an lieutenant, I will come to Shuozhou, you can at least get me an lieutenant to be a lieutenant! Yu Chi Baolin squeezed his eyebrows at Sun Xiangfu and said.
The heart of comparison between these two goods is inherited from the family, at this age, it is estimated that comparing each other is their pursuit of life, Sun Xiangfu is not good to say anything about this, Yinzhou is the same as Shuozhou, it belongs to the Biansai Xiazhou, the officers at the first level of captain and lieutenant are all about six or seven grades, and the actual number of soldiers is determined by how the assassin is distributed, which is the high level of their father, otherwise, no one will hand over the management of the army to this kind of half-sized son to play.
"Lieutenant, don't think about it now, let's start with the brigade commander! The situation in our Shuozhou is complicated, the Hui Department and the Xue Yantuo Department are not far from us, and there is a possibility of war at any time, the chief officer of this army, I have to send a few old Cheng Governors to me, you can exercise with them for a period of time, and when the Metropolitan Governor is gone, I will give you a promotion. Sun Xiangfu said truthfully.
Hearing this, Yu Chi Baolin's face was bitter, and his dream of setting off from Chang'an was shattered, and from now on, he could only hope that Li Ji would return to the court as soon as possible.
