Chapter Seventy-Four: The New Army of the Imperial Court
Chang'an in early summer seems to be brighter after a night of rain. In the early morning, slowly, the sun showed a small blush.
The wildflowers in the fields of Yuanlou Village seem to have received a signal, and they are scrambling to bloom accordingly, although they are not as dazzling as the famous flowers and precious grasses in the garden of the wealthy compound, but under the reflection of the rising red sun, they are also lovely.
The grass on the side of the road is covered with crystal dewdrops, which looks clean and translucent.....
After Liu Lao Er stretched his waist greatly, after getting dressed under Chen's service, he naturally took the hot handkerchief from Chen's hand and put it on his face, and immediately moaned comfortably.
After eating, Liu Lao Er burped and walked out of the Viscount's Mansion very satisfied, and began to inspect the small village. When he walked to the door of Liu Gangzi's house, he saw Liu Gang squatting at the door, holding a black old bowl and drinking noodles.
"Gongzi, why don't you have any official appearance at all, just like Da Niu's cowardice, your brothers are six-rank commanders."
"Uncle, what kind of official, the new baby is all viscounts, isn't it still that cowardice!"
"That's the new baby who hasn't forgotten his roots, but the old man told you the baby, these days I've been honestly thinking about living in the new baby's Viscount Mansion is not a thing."
"What's wrong? If the new baby knows that you don't want to stay with him, you have to be in a hurry. ”
"Gongzi, before the old man lived in that line, he regarded it as a housekeeper for this baby, but the baby insisted on thinking of a way to let the old man continue the string, so he couldn't continue to live. You think that the new baby will have to start a family in the future! It's better to move out early, now while there is no summer harvest, the old man wants to renovate the original small yard, and I still live back. ”
"Uncle, aren't you afraid that the new baby will come back, you are always in a hurry?"
"He dares! Mo said that he didn't dare to give the old man a quick look, now he is cowardly with the black baby, and the ugly cow doesn't know where to hide in Chang'an, that's it, wait for you to discuss with the big cow The old man went to the field to see, the rain last night was really timely...."
After Liu Lao Er finished explaining the bar, he muttered and went to the field, as if to say that God really gave face and the wind and rain were smooth, and this year's summer harvest could produce a lot of grain.....
Chen was dressing up in front of a bronze mirror, and the maid who delivered the water put the copper basin down and stood aside.
"Erya, have you heard the master say that he wants to move out of this viscount's mansion?"
"Madam, Er Ya hasn't heard the master mention it, but the master has often gone to the original yard these days."
"Oh, it seems that the master has the intention of moving out...."
Chen put the mirror down and cleaned his hands in the copper basin as usual.....
Liu Lao Er went to inspect the fields, Liu Gangzi and Da Niu discussed how to renovate the old house, Chen didn't know what to think, Qin Yong dozed off boredly.... The work of the villagers in the fields.... The whole Yuanlou Village was peaceful.
After a few days of recuperation in Zhai Changsun's Xuanjia military camp, Wang Xingxin was already able to go to the ground, and the level of the Chinese medicine officer and the imperial doctor in that camp was indeed not bad, and the effect of a few pairs of decoctions was very good!
Wang Xingxin, who was strolling through the barracks, felt the sun that was not very hot in the morning after the rain on the early summer night, summer was coming, and the day was about to be hot.
Waving his hand, the guards sent to him by Zhai Changsun came to the front, and Wang Xingxin asked the guards to call Heiwa and Cheng Chumo, who were practicing shirtless.
After the two of them were sweating profusely and panting, Wang Xingxin didn't say anything and took them into the tent, first one of them gave a bowl of light salt water that had been cooled for a long time, and after the two of them finished drinking, Wang Xingxin said: "Ugly cow, Heiwa, brother has a lot now, and our brother can't live here all the time."
Brother has been thinking about it these days, our brother has to make a name, don't let people look down on it! Ugly cow, wait for you to drive the carriage and take your brother to see Your Majesty, Heiwa, you go back to the village and bring Brother Da Niu and Brother Gongzi, and stay in the village to have a great future! “
"Brother Xin, are you only called Brother Da Niu and Brother Gongzi?"
"Just call them both, you can't both come to the army, by the way, don't forget to see if my uncle is married, by the way, explore the limelight again, remember to ask the uncle to like candy!"
Heiwa rode a horse to Yuanlou Village, Wang Xingxin was comfortably lying on the carriage with thick cushions and asked Cheng Chumo to drive the carriage to Taiji Palace, and Cheng Chumo was very willing to drive the young man of the Tang Dynasty except Wang Xingxin, who may only have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.
However, Li Er in the Taiji Palace was not as proud as Wang Xingxin at this time, and the ministers led by the family were making trouble.
"Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will be cautious about this new army! Since that Dingxiang a prisoner of war Jieli looked around, I Datang and my opponent, experienced locusts, drought and two plagues, this year is very smooth, it is a good time to recuperate, if Your Majesty raises troops again, I am afraid it will not be beneficial to the country and the people! ”
After Wang Gui finished playing, a group of Zi Wenchen came out to second. Li Er looked at Wang Gui and those Wenchen who seconded the proposal with some unhappiness and said: "I don't want to raise sword soldiers again, this new army just selects 2,500 people from the left and right military guards, and makes up 5,000 to use the strong army forging technique that Lantian County dedicated to me, and see if I can train an invincible army like the Xuanjia Army for me!" ”
When Wang Gui heard that it was Wang Xingxin's advice, he was immediately shocked, when did this Lantian County give advice to His Majesty again? Wang Jianfei, who begged his grandfather to stay in the Yushitai, hated it even more, why didn't this untouchable die yet!
Wang Gui thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this soldier's method of forging the body is a secret that is not passed on, Lantian County does not have the heritage of our family, nor does it have the division of the soldier, it is just a layman monk, where does the method of forging the body of a strong soldier come from, is it not where to get the martial arts that do not enter the stream!" ”
Cheng Biting Jin was originally dozing off and eating melons, and the crowd watched Li Er fight with those ministers, but when he heard that this Wang Gui Lao'er actually talked about Wang Xingxin's background, he got up and pointed at Wang Gui and said, "Dare to ask Wang Lao'er!" ”
"Why did Lu Guogong ask the old man, I didn't see Your Majesty above, you questioned the old man without telling Your Majesty first, it's really disrespectful!"
After speaking, he asked Li Er to treat Cheng Cheng's great disrespect for biting gold.
"Calling you Lord Wang is looking up to you! Wang Gui Lao'er! Let's talk about the old man's nephew's background again! Cheng snatched your Wang family's concubine and made her concubine in Lantian County! ”
Li Eryi couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Cheng Biting Jin's arrogant and unreasonable words.
Wang Guiqi's beard shook itself without wind, and he was almost outraged. After finally relieving himself, he pointed at Cheng Biting Jin and said sharply: "Old horseman! Dare to insult my Wang family in the court again, if you don't give an explanation today, even if Your Majesty is on top, the old man will never give up! ”
Cheng Yanjin looked at the angry Wang Gui and squinted his eyes and said loudly: "Do you still want to go to others to insult the Wang family?" A wealthy family! Wang Gui Lao'er, why does your family's refined salt taste strange to my old Cheng! Your Majesty, presumably you have been using this refined salt, have you tasted the taste of this refined salt It seems to have the taste of this Taiyuan royal family, and it doesn't seem to be the taste of the Taiyuan royal family, but this taste is indeed the taste of the royal family. “
The ministers listened to Cheng Biting Jin's words like a tongue twister in confusion, snickering in their hearts, confused if they didn't understand.
That Wang Jianfei originally wanted to show off and scold Cheng Biting Jin for being angry for his own family, and secondly to save some image in front of his grandfather, but when he heard Cheng Biting Jin mention the matter of refined salt, he was so frightened that he quickly shrunk his neck.
Wang Gui was a little angry and said: "Cheng Lao Pifu, why are you mentioning the matter of refined salt, and what does this have to do with the origin of Lantian County?" ”
"Hmph, Wang Gui Lao'er, then why did you mention the origin of Lantian County, and what is the relationship between the method of forging the body of a strong soldier and that background?"
Wang Gui was speechless when he asked one sentence, thinking that this pit grandfather's grandson, it seems that he can't be soft-hearted anymore, and he must find an opportunity to transfer Wang Jianfei out of the court, or something will happen sooner or later.
After Wang Gui retreated stupidly, Li Er took the opportunity to say: "This matter is decided like this!" The Duke of Langya County is the chief general of the new army, and the son of Lantian County is the auxiliary. ”
Li Er paused for a moment and saw that no one objected anymore, and then said: "The eldest grandson Wuji's son, Changsun Chong, is the long history of the army, Qin Huaidao, the son of Qin Shubao, Cheng Chumo, the son of Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jianhu, the son of Niu Jinda, and Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai are all lieutenant colonels!" ”
Then he looked at the king of Hejian County and Wei Chi Gong and said: "Li Chongyi, the son of the king of Hejian County, and Yu Chi Baolin, the son of Wei Chi Gong, are the deputy generals!" ”
As soon as the ministers heard that this was good, the children of several families who were infamous in Chang'an were all stuffed into the new army by Li Er, and they all felt that they understood some of Li Er's intentions, perhaps Li Er wanted to let these noble sons who could not be killed have a place to mess up, so as not to make Chang'an's toss chickens and dogs jump again, and now Jingzhao Mansion Mansion Yin is the happiest.
