Chapter Twenty-Nine: Shandong Yi Ge
Zhu Yougong's heart is inflated, arrogant, and rampant, and the life he guards is a golden mountain, and he can't even walk sideways like a crab now.
He knew that Zhu Wen had returned, and he had planned to throw away the trivial matters of Huangling Mountain and return to the capital to report the good news. Thinking of the truckloads of copper ore, he turned back halfway. It's really a man who dies for money, and the bird dies for food, this goods just sent a letter to Zhu Wen, saying that he couldn't get away for the time being, and he buried a pot in Huangling Mountain to build a stove to smelt copper.
The five hundred soldiers he brought with him this time are also like chicken blood, who is not tempted by so much copper ore, refining it is money.
The military and political system of the Tang Dynasty has long been disrupted, and the government has no one to supervise, and whoever refines it is whoever it is. Besides, this Zhu Yougong smelted copper, it was to contribute military salaries to King Liang, even if the court knew, who would dare to squeak?
Ge Congzhou joined the Huangchao Rebel Army at the beginning. In the fourth year of neutralization, Zhu Wen defeated Huang Chao and Wang Mandu. Ge Congzhou then took refuge in Zhu Wen, from the Ping Qin Zongquan, broke Zhu Xuan, defeated Shi Pu, went down to Sanzhou, repeatedly made military exploits, and was crowned the envoy of the Taining Army, and inspected the school.
Ge Congzhou is worthy of being a general under Zhu Wen, this person does things neatly and neatly, and he is strict with his subordinates. His Ge family army originally belonged to the remnants of Huangchao, and they fought bravely, and Zhu Wen always regarded him as the ace elite in his hand.
There is a proverb in Hebei: "A Ge in Shandong, nothing to tease if there is nothing to do", which is about the person "Ge Congzhou". It means that there is a Ge Congzhou in Shandong, don't provoke him if you have nothing to do, this person is famous.
Whether it is recorded in historical books or folk rumors, Ge Congzhou is a positive evaluation. This person is an upright person, a rare general, and he is also a talent that Li Ji wants to collect.
Why does Li Ji know something about Tang history, thanks to his grandfather. Before the crossing, Li Ji was forced by his grandfather to read a lot of history books, especially the historical figures of the late Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Ge Congzhou came to his military camp, although he was sometimes not ashamed of Zhu Wen's words and deeds. But Zhu Wen is his own Bole, and Zhi'en Tubao is the character of this kind of person.
As soon as he entered the tent, his subordinates followed. Ge Congzhou didn't talk nonsense: "Pan Da was stunned, take your people and Ben Jiang to Yique County!" ”
Pan Da was stunned by the deputy general of Ge Congzhou, with a burly figure, two mountain-opening axes around his waist, and an iron tower-like body, and he was majestic at that station: "General Ge!" What are we going to do in Yique County? If it's for King Liang to repair the tomb, I won't go! I'm going to fight on the front line! "The voice is deep, and the voice is like a bell.
Pan Da was stunned and thought that he was going to repair Zhu Wen's mausoleum, this kind of errand was afraid of being ashamed, so he wanted to refuse.
Ge Congzhou frowned: "It's not to repair the tomb, Zhu Yougong dug copper mines in Huangling Mountain, broke the feng shui of King Liang's mausoleum, King Liang ordered this person to be captured, and all his generals were killed." ”
As soon as he heard that it was a war, Pan Da was stunned and came to his senses: "I have long seen that Zhu Yougong is not pleasing to my eyes, so I turned out to arrest this guy." Well, when are we leaving?
”
"Gather two thousand iron armor and set off immediately!"

Since Zhao Yan was promised by Zhu Wen to be appointed as a privy envoy, like Zhu Yougong, he can't walk sideways. This is a sparrow flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix, and his good luck has come.
Like most sons-in-law, in the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Yan saw his wife, the county lord of Changle, and immediately looked like a mollusk without bones: "Madam, great joy!" Great joy! ”
"Something that has no interest, what makes you like this, I married you a bad mouthful, and I am not less ridiculed by my four sisters on weekdays. My eldest sister Anyang is married to Wei Bojiedu, the son of the king of Changsha County. And my life is hard, marrying you a bad mouthful, being a sesame mung bean big official or relying on my father's support, what sins I did in my last life. "The county lord of Changle is a woman with a poisonous tongue, and when she saw Zhao Yan, she was angry, and she began to cry as she spoke.
Zhao Yan pulled her fat face: "Madam, this time you are going to be promoted to a senior official." I'm going to see my father-in-law. The old man in law allowed me to be a privy envoy. ”
"What?" The county lord of Changle thought that he had heard it wrong, the privy envoy, this was simply incredible.
"The privy envoy of the imperial court, the father-in-law personally agreed." Zhao Yan couldn't help but repeat again.
He is a small subordinate of the house, and he will not be able to climb the heavy position of privy envoy for another hundred years. The county lord of Changle was overjoyed: "Really? Did my dad really say that? ”
Zhao Yan nodded hurriedly: "Then there is still a fake, Yuezhang also said, if anyone dares to disagree, he will cut off his head!" ”
The lord of Changle County rubbed his hands together: "God is pitiful, you have finally come out." But she still didn't forget to hit him: "But don't forget my father's promotion grace, you yourself are something, without my father, you are not even a pawn under the basket." ”
Zhao Yan nodded busily: "What Madame said is very true, there are still many things to deal with in this palace, so I will go back to the palace first." He lifted his feet and walked away.
The county lord of Changle was short and fat, and stretched out his fat little hand to hold him: "Wait a minute, you are now a big official, and you must set up an individual in everything." My brothers and sisters are all decent and dignified people, and they are your in-laws, how dare you pretend to be big in front of us? If these subordinates in the court, those old bosses in your subordinate provinces, are just stained with my father's light, if you give up with him and sit on an equal footing, this is a violation of the school rules, and even my face will be dull. You're a useless man, so I have to teach you these words, so as not to make people laugh. ”
Zhao Yan was submissive, nodded in response, and went to the palace to say goodbye to his wife.
In the Datong Hall of Xingqing Palace, Li Ji crossed Erlang's legs and sat on the dragon couch and tasted tea. Standing next to her is the little Lori Zhang Wanxi, the tea was brought by her own hands, Youwei stared at a pair of small eyes hanging down, the guy who poured the tea and water was originally his, but now he was snatched away by this little girl, Youwei was a little jealous.
Zhang Wanxi is now dressed as a palace maid, and finally became Li Ji's personal maid.
"Your Majesty," a person walked into the hall, it was Zhao Yan.
I saw Zhao Yan holding a letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, Jiang Xuanhui is rebellious, and he has been corrected by Dali Temple." His Royal Highness King Liang said that the position of privy envoy is a great responsibility and cannot be missing for a day. The province is specially drafted by the door, and the minister temporarily assumes this position. This is an edict, and I also ask Your Majesty to stamp the jade seal. ”
Li Ji was shocked: Zhao Yan became a privy envoy? What kind of move did Zhu Wen play, that killed Jiang Xuanhui, so he wanted to find someone more close to him to take this position. And Zhao Yan is his son-in-law, so Zhu Wen chose him.
However, such a poor and extravagant guy who regards wealth as his life should be much easier to deal with than Jiang Xuanhui, and he is secretly happy in his heart at the moment.
"I know, you are promising, you go and get my jade seal and stamp it for Zhao Aiqing." Li Ji said lazily, and then his eyes focused on Zhang Wanxi: "Sister Wanxi, let me touch your little face to see if it's slippery?" ”
