Chapter 203: The Cook Is Gone

The sword rattling in the Huazhou military square is treacherous, and the Chang'an Forbidden Palace is treacherous, but for the vast majority of the people, this year's August 15 is no different from previous years: the price of rice, which has been high, has not only not shown the slightest sign of falling because the imperial court has declared war on Chen Xingbing in the south, but there is a trend of rising all the way, the only thing that has changed is that after the autumn, the imperial court requisitioned a large amount of grain from the main grain producing areas in the eastern part of the country to supply Gyeonggi, and the people will not be unable to buy grain with copper coins and cloth in their hands.

Huazhou Erzhuji's rebellion was quelled almost overnight thanks to Wang Shichong's whistleblowing and Yang Su's boldness. Therefore, Yang Su and Wang Shichong naturally became the two great heroes who put down this rebellion that could be launched in the future, and were rewarded and reused by the imperial court. It's just that those who have a heart will find that Yang Jian's reward for Yang Su and Wang Shichong is still a little different that is not easy for outsiders to detect:

Wang Shichong was directly promoted from a little-known minor official in charge of religious affairs such as Buddhism and Taoism to a member of the military department of the fifth grade, which can be said to be truly reused; And Yang Su, who is in the high position of Shangzhu State and Qinghe County, although he rode alone to quell an imminent rebellion, he was only appointed to the two upper offices of the Eastern Capital Governor and the Governor of Luozhou, which seems to be high and powerful, but you must know that the current Eastern Capital Staying Yuan Xiaoju is the father-in-law of the crown prince Yang Yong, and the current governor of Luozhou is Dou Rongding, the brother-in-law of the current emperor Yang Jian, who has just been transferred to the foreign office. But in any case it cannot be said to be two ideal ministries.

Even these two counterinsurgency heroes who have been rewarded and rewarded are far from being compared with the second prince who was only thirteen years old and was allowed to open a government office, Yang Guang, the king of Jin.

Shortly after 15 August, news spread in the Chang'an Palace that the emperor was going to elect government officials for the Jin king's departure from the town, and some well-informed people even revealed that Yang Jian intended to expand the scope of Yang Guang's jurisdiction from the prefecture to the entire Kanto.

As soon as the news spread, the princes and eunuchs in Chang'an City and the children of wealthy families immediately heard the wind and looked for a way, trying to squeeze into the residence of the King of Jin and seek a mission, so as to build a bridge and pave the way for their future career.

There has been an uproar outside the mansion, but Yang Guang, who is the party concerned, has not been happy for a few days.

Because of his own meritorious service, he ignored an important suspect in the first trial of Xian Hua'er - the red-haired boy Zhang Zhongjian, so that he took it for granted that Xian Huaer was the leading figure of the "Wild Goose's Nest" lurking in the stone house, and did not notice in time that between Xian Huaer and Zhang Zhongjian, there was a more terrifying mysterious figure hidden, it was he (she) who used Xian Huaer as his shield to hide in the dark and manipulate everything.

This person, according to Yang Guang's current judgment, is likely to be the Qinglou woman who took the initiative to throw a hug to him when Yu Juluo first entered the stone house courtyard - Sleeve Red.

After Xian Hua'er was arrested, Yang Jian relieved Yang Guang of the mission to investigate the case, and strictly ordered him to study the situation in the north carefully in the palace, so that Yang Guang lost the people and horses available for him to drive and deploy, and at the same time, Yang Guang was worried that his father would hand over the mission of Guan Zizi, the leader of the spy in Nan Chen, to others, and did not want to make his suspicion of the sleeve red to Yang Jian too early because he had obtained the sudden interrogation of Xian Hua'er overnight, so in the past few days, he had to order Zhang Xutuo to ambush near the residence where Yujuluo and Sleeve Red lived together, and as soon as Sleeve Red returned, And they immediately took her.

However, with intuition, after learning from Yu Juluo that day, Yang Guang realized that it was very likely that Sleeve Hong had learned the news of Xian Hua'er's arrest from Yu Juluo and ran away in advance. In this case, he still insisted on sending Zhang Xutuo to squat and wait, just hoping for the eventuality.

Sleeve Red is nowhere to be found, and Zhang Zhongjian, the murderer of Ding San'er, has no news, and Li Yuan revealed to Li Yuantong that Xie Wei stole Yang Lihua's handwriting, so that Xie Wei was also imprisoned in the prison, and the good luck is uncertain, these things are superimposed, how can Yang Guang be happy?

In the short period of one or twenty days that Xie Wei was recruited by himself to be a chef in the mansion, although the two chefs, one old and one new, were jealous of each other, fighting openly and secretly, and making a lot of trouble, but once the two of them died, Yang Guang found that the chef in his house was gone.

On the second day after Yang Sushan rode into Huazhou, Yang Guang held a grand funeral for Ding San'er in accordance with the order, and buried Ding San'er according to the specifications of the imperial court's four-rank order.

Although there were few meals cooked by Ding San'er before his death, Yang Guang could eat them, but once he was really gone, Yang Guang still missed his raw roasted lamb leg without salt.

For Xie Wei, not to mention, one of the important reasons why Yang Guang was eager to catch the sleeve red was to prove to Xie Wei that he was indeed coerced, not voluntary, to do the theft.

It was precisely because Yang Guang searched on the Internet in advance and learned that Xie Wei would eventually become his chief of Shangshi, that he successively rejected the new candidates recommended by Yu Zan to be in charge of the case, and insisted on leaving the position of head of the case to Xie Wei. Although he was not unaware: Xie Wei was imprisoned in the prison where important prisoners of the imperial court were held, and he did not know when he would be released; And, even if one day in the future, Xie Wei is forgiven, with his background and the bad deeds he has had, will his father and queen mother allow him to be a cook by his side.

Just when Yang Guang was depressed and unhappy, sitting at home all day, looking at the map of the secluded and other places in a daze, Changsun Sheng, who had never been on the gate of the Jin Palace, had never been on the gate of the Jin Palace's mansion since he sent away Dyegan more than ten days ago.

To Yang Guang's surprise, Changsun Sheng didn't just come to urge him to study, but also brought him the "Iron Hoof Dragon".

"Your Royal Highness, now that Dye Gan has left Chang'an with his father and returned to Dujin Mountain, this horse that he gave to His Highness in front of the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, it should also be returned to His Highness." The eldest grandson Sheng asked Yang Guang to follow him to the gate of the mansion, reluctantly brushed the brocade-like mane on the back of the neck of the "Iron Hoof Dragon", and handed the reins of the horse to Yang Guang with a smile.

"Sir, I disappointed you a while ago." Remembering that the Mid-Autumn Festival night was defeated by Yang Xiu's men, Yang Guang said with some embarrassment while taking the reins from Changsun Sheng's hand.

"Does Your Highness know that the Turks have always valued two things more than their own lives?" Changsun Sheng was not ashamed of Yang Guang's defeat by the arrow, but taught him meaningfully, "These two things, the same is a bow and arrow, and the other is a war horse, and among these two things, especially the war horse is the most valued by the Turks, because although the bow and arrow can shoot prey and kill the enemy, the war horse is like the legs of the Turkic warriors, and when life and death are at stake, they can save the life of the master." His Royal Highness will patrol the northern border on behalf of the emperor in the future, and in a certain view, bending the bow and shooting the eagle in the Mobei grassland is still secondary, but it should be important to protect the territory and the people, I don't know if His Royal Highness thinks so? ”
