Chapter 273: It's Rao's Happiness

This is Liu Suifeng, Liu Suifeng who never hides his thoughts, when he wants to say what he wants to say, he will definitely say, walk with his heart and not be bound by the surrounding environment, you can not like him, but you can't help but admit his frankness. Tang Cheng can't do this, but it's because he can't do it that he appreciates him more and more, speaking of which, the two don't have much friendship, but Tang Cheng doesn't hate him and even has some good feelings for this reason.

Although he has not yet entered the Tang Dynasty, Tang Cheng has always felt that Liu Suifeng has a temperament that belongs to the Tang Dynasty, whether it is this frank and honest nature, or even his much-criticized arrogance.

Seeing that Liu Suifeng came out like this in front of everyone at the yamen, Tang Chengzhen was still a little awkward, and bowed his hand back, "Brother Wuya praised it falsely, go, talk inside!" ”

"Winning is winning, losing is losing, and Liu still disdains to make disguises in this section", Liu Suifeng, who was walking inside, didn't even say hello when he passed by Zhang Xiangwen's side, but just tilted his head and said to Tang Chengdao: "But the coming day is long, and a certain self-deserving is shorter and longer."

What Zhang Xiangwen couldn't see the most was Liu Suifeng's appearance of no one in his eyes, and when he was despised again, he smiled coldly and said: "What kind of face does the general of the defeated army have to say this!" Why do you compare yourself to my big brother? Joke! ”

Hearing this, Liu Suifeng just smiled, not only did he not sneer at each other, but he didn't even say a word, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Xiangwen's words.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Xiangwen snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away, too lazy to deal with this crazy person who didn't know anyone.

Everyone is a fellow villager, and there was more friendship with classmates in the past, and when they met thousands of miles away, they made it look like this, the scene in front of him really made Tang Cheng speechless, although the form of expression is different, but these two people are very proud people in their bones, he is not easy to talk about this matter, and he is afraid that he will not change anything.

Forget it, don't '' this idleness, let the two of them solve their own affairs.

After shaking his head with a wry smile, Tang Cheng led Liu to walk in with the wind, and finally said the topic of this year's imperial examination.

When Zhang Xiangwen first came to Longmen, the two brothers talked about the candle night and he gloated about Liu Suifeng's first thing, before the scientific examination, Liu Suifeng was the leader in the three literary meetings presided over by Princess Taiping herself, and he really didn't think about being the second person in the limelight among all the candidates for the exam, at that time, Shilin had already regarded it as a natural candidate for the first place in the Shishi department, even Zhang Liang said to Tang Cheng like this, but after the gold list, it was a big surprise to everyone, Liu Suifeng didn't say that he was the top student in high school, didn't even get mixed up with the last place, and it actually fell to Sun Shan.

Liu Suifeng's result was not unexpected by Tang Cheng, he also personally experienced the summons of Princess Taiping in Chang'an last year, although he did not enter the soup pool in the end, but he really felt Taiping's debauchery in his private life, Liu Suifeng did not disappoint after all, as he predicted in front of Zhang Liang that day, even in front of the power and wealth Liu Suifeng still insisted on his pride.

Hearing Tang Cheng say this, Liu Suifeng still had a gloomy "color" between his eyebrows after all, but this was only a flash of time, "Frustration is inevitable, but after all, he is still young, how many people can be in a subject since the imperial examination of the national dynasty was customized?" I had the heart to roam the world for a long time, but I regretted that I didn't make the trip for a long time, but I got my long-cherished wish through this time, which is not a blessing."

The scholars of the Tang Dynasty had the custom of roaming, some were before participating in the imperial examination, some were after the imperial examination was disappointed, and many people chose the place when roaming, and many people liked to travel to the border passes, such as Gao Shi, Wang Changling, and Wang Zhilian, the famous poets of the Tang Dynasty, all had such an experience, but they didn't expect Liu Suifeng to have the same thoughts.

Tang Cheng originally had the idea of comforting him when he mentioned this topic, but seeing that he was thinking so openly, there was no need to say what he had already prepared, and said with a smile: "Brother Wuya is open-minded"

While speaking, the two of them had arrived at Tang Cheng's study, and after the little servant offered tea and sat down, Liu Suifeng held the tea cup in his hand and asked: "In the past two days, what has been hotly discussed in Longmen City is the promotion and transfer of officials, but I don't know where to go this time?" ”

After the excitement at the yamen just now, Tang Cheng is also a lawsuit when he mentions this topic at this time, and on weekdays, others praise him as a young man, and he often encourages himself with this, after all, there is no room for too much arrogance in the officialdom, and often the older the person, the farther he goes. Unexpectedly, after three years of penance, he was not only impulsive, but also impulsive enough to burst into tears in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

In the final analysis, the Tao is not enough, and it is far from the "ruthless, unrighteous, and faceless" of the supreme cultivation of officialdom, and judging from the psychological feelings of today's impulsiveness, he may never be able to cultivate to the highest level.

Shaking his head, Tang Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion Sima"

"Raole?" After hearing these two words, Liu Suifeng was pleasantly surprised, and stood up abruptly with the teacup, "No defects, go with you"

Tang Cheng never imagined that Liu Suifeng would say such a thing, and he was so surprised that the sip of tea he had just drunk choked into his throat, causing him to cough for a while.

"This is no joke", after coughing several times in a row, Tang Cheng finally straightened out his anger, put down the teacup and waved his hand: "Rao Le's situation is critical, even if you want to go, you can't be at this time."

"It is better to be a centurion than to be a scholar. If it weren't for Rao's situation, why would he have to go? Liu Suifeng "chanted" the famous sentence in Yang Jiong's "From the Army", the fourth master of the early Tang Dynasty, with a resolute expression and a resolute tone, not giving Tang Cheng room to refuse at all.

At the beginning of next month, the imperial court will reiterate the old edict of "the sea is as one", which is not only the fuse that detonated the situation in Raole, but also the final time node. Since Tang Cheng had decided to go to Longmen to take up his post, he did not dare to delay any longer, and in the next two days after sending Liu Suifeng away, he spent the next two days in writing letters and interviewing people.

The first letter was naturally written to the East Palace in Beijing, in this letter Tang Cheng did not mention his dissatisfaction with the appointment arrangement, and talked about the personnel arrangement of the Longmen County Ya after he left, and he had two requirements, one is that Zhang Xiangwen officially took over the Longmen County Order, and the other is that Jia Xu took over the vacant post of county lieutenant from an official to an official.

Longmen is deserted, although it has developed rapidly in the past year, but the officials may not know it, and now that the situation in Rao Le is tense, there may not be anyone willing to come here to serve, and there is no problem in seeking these two positions as the prince of Li Longji's East Palace.

After this letter was sent, Tang Cheng immediately sent another official document to the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and also sent a letter to Jia Zixing, the commander of the Tiancheng Army.

Tang Cheng's third letter was written to Hebei Province to observe the embassy, after these three letters were written, he began to talk intensively, Jia Xu, Qian Sanscar, Ashdezhi and other six Hu businessmen were within the scope of his appointment, but to talk the most is Zhang Xiangwen, two brothers fell asleep on their feet for two nights, Tang Cheng explained his plan for Longmen, the reasons for the current implementation of various affairs, the expected results, and even the possible problems and his thoughts on Longmen County government in the future.

Longmen County is not only the place where his ideals are practiced, but also the only sure reliance he has after going to Raole this time, he really can't afford to miss a little, looking at Zhang Xiangwen's appearance of nodding his head again and again, Tang Cheng is very pleased, and now he thinks that when Zhang Liang came at the end of last year, he promised to let Zhang Xiangwen come here The reply is really suitable, fighting the tiger brothers, and the joke of the day has become a reality in less than a year.

After the foreign affairs and government affairs were arranged, Tang Cheng's last concern was family affairs, and Laifu, who had been on a long vacation since Xiao Tao came, was called over, but the task he was assigned this time was not to go to Rao Le in advance, but was sent by Tang Cheng to Huairong, the state city, to see the house and buy a house, after these were done, he would escort Tang Zhang and others with Zheng Wu and Zheng Qi and Xiao Tao to live in Huairong.

This is Tang Cheng's biggest worry, no matter how deep his feelings for Longmen are, he will not let his family still live here, Huairong is in the Suoyang Pass, no matter how big Raole's fire is, can it still burn over the Great Wall?

But when arranging family affairs, she also encountered two problems, one is that Zheng Lingyi is quite reluctant to leave Longmen, more precisely, she is unwilling to leave Donggu, who she has devoted a lot of effort to; The other is Qizhi's little girl, the decoration of the new pavilion of the Longmen County Teaching Workshop is in a critical place, and An Lushan's dance training is also on the right track, and she refuses to leave anything.

Tang Cheng naturally objected to their arrangement when he was concerned about safety, but when the two daughters almost unanimously asked the same question, he was silently speechless, "Doesn't the husband know the danger of Rao Le, so why do you insist on going?" ”

As a person who has traveled through later generations, Tang Cheng can understand very well that women also have career pursuits, and the question of the second daughter is really sharp, and he is unwilling to "force" them, so in the end, he can only entrust the safety of the two to Zhang Xiangwen and Qian Sanscar.

Time is not waiting, after everything is taken care of, Tang Cheng did not delay at all, and on the third morning, he kissed the kitten and cried loudly, and Tang Zhang and others shed tears and ran out of the city to the north.

In addition to Zheng San, the oldest of the three Zheng brothers, there was also Liu Suifeng in white clothes.

After leaving the city, Tang Cheng's earnestness came out again, just like the previous two times to Baiyang Town and Jinyang, in order to hurry up he almost reached the point of sleeplessness, Liu Suifeng, who was born as a rich son, was really good, he didn't scream bitterly and tired along the way, and he gritted his teeth and went down, and when the three of them arrived at the Longmen Grassland Tiancheng Army garrison that was only separated by a boundary river from Raole, they were already full of dust.

The 4,000-day army and about the same number of Longmen Xi Ding Zhuang joined forces, and the joint camp stretched for several miles and looked extremely spectacular, Tang Cheng went straight to the tent after arriving, although the sergeant on duty along the way did not know him, but the look on his face after hearing Zheng San's name was reported was a lot closer.

It seems that the exchange of interests is still stable, if it weren't for those terraced fields in the West Valley on the edge of Longmen County, how could a local county order let these border soldiers and even lieutenants do this?

Greeting the captain who came out after the briefing, Tang Cheng lifted the tent curtain and walked in.

The tent was empty, and after Tang Cheng waited for a while, he saw Jia Zixing turn out from behind the screen, and as he walked, he was still wearing the cloth button on his civilian clothes.

"Come on, get drunk!" After shouting outside the tent, Jia Zixing sat down beside Tang Cheng, "I'm really not used to seeing you in a leather armor, but I'm still more comfortable in this regular clothes."

"I'm not the kind of civilian official who can't wait for the military affairs, Lord Commander is too worried", Tang Cheng replied with a smile and then asked directly: "The border army is in a hurry, how about it, the official document submitted to the Dadu Governor's Mansion has been approved and transferred to you, right?" Are people ready for me? ”

"The border army has its own system, and it is a rule that soldiers and weapons cannot be transferred to the place, you are good, not only to borrow people but also to borrow such valuable weapons, and the Dadu Governor's Mansion is actually approved, this is a violation of military law, how to look at it, how to see how to see the evil sect", Jia Zixing poured wine for Tang Cheng, while carefully looking at him and asked tentatively: "What, Lord Tang also has someone in the Dadu Governor's Mansion?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Cheng only smiled, when he first came to Longmen, Zhang Liang had given him a letter, which stated that Donggong did not have any powerful henchmen in the border army system, and the only one was just Sima who was not ranked high in the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

This time it was this Sima who played a role, he himself was in charge of the military law and military law of the border army under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and it was convenient to do this, of course, this was also related to the small number of people and weapons that Tang Cheng wanted to borrow, otherwise he would not have helped so easily.

"When did your brother become such a mother-in-law?" , Tang Cheng scolded with a smile and diverted the topic, "Give it to people quickly, I'm in a hurry to use it"

Knowing the sensitivity of his question, seeing that Tang Cheng was reluctant to say, Jia Zixing didn't ask any more questions, picked up the wine bottle and invited Tang Cheng to drink it all, then got up and walked out first.

Two squads of cavalry with a total of 100 people quickly gathered on the school field in front of the tent, and the Tang Dynasty was of military age from 15 to 60, but the 100 people in front of him were all young sergeants in their twenties, with strong bodies and clever eyebrows and eyes, and Tang Cheng was very satisfied with it.

After Jia Zixing waved his hand to the captain on the side, he pointed to those cavalry and said to Tang Cheng: "The ones selected according to your requirements are all clever and sturdy sergeants, and they are all family members who want to move to Longmen and have fields in the West Valley, and the war horses they belong to have been carefully selected, good soldiers and good horses, you have to cherish them."

"Thank you Master Jia, don't worry", Tang Cheng patted Jia Zixing's shoulder and took a few steps forward to the cavalry and said loudly: "I won't say anything superfluous, just two, first, the purpose of your mission is to ensure the safety of Longmen, and Longmen is safe and secure, so you are serving your family and yourself; Second, after the completion of this mission, each of you can get 20 acres of meritorious land and 20 yuan of money from the Longmen County Ya, and those who have other meritorious deeds will be rewarded."

After saying these few words, Tang Cheng didn't have half a word of nonsense, turned around and returned to Jia Zixing's side, and at this moment, the captain who had just walked to the side led a team of sergeants carrying boxes over.

As soon as the box was opened, a strong smell of butter suddenly popped out, and the more than ten boxes were neatly placed with very carefully maintained yellow birch crossbows.

Different from the bow and arrow that relies on the strength of the arm to shoot, this birch crossbow is to take the opportunity to include the fire, small and at the same time the strength is not weak, if the comprehensive quality is really called a first-class weapon in this era, at this time, this relatively complex structure of the weapon is only the general in Chang'an City can be made, the northland grassland does not have such a manufacturing capacity, even in the Tang Dynasty border army, the yellow birch crossbow is only worthy of the general who is qualified to wear chain mail, It is not easy for ordinary sergeants to see such a crossbow on weekdays, let alone such ten boxes placed together, and there was a slight "commotion" in the small cavalry team.

"Rabbit cubs, one person and one body, come and get it", Jia Zixing's laughter and scolding caused those cavalry to cheer.

"I have three people, leave me three. After receiving it, Lord Lao Duwei explained that they should all go and change their regular clothes, and gather here in half an hour", after speaking, Tang Cheng did not wait here, turned around and went to the Tu Ye Zhuo leather tent not far to the right.

After meeting and talking to Tu Yezhuo, exactly half an hour later, Tang Cheng took the lead and led a team of one hundred and two people behind him to step on the improvised pontoon bridge made of sheepskin rafts.

"That's all about Rao!" After crossing the boundary river and stepping on the fat grassland on the other side, Tang Cheng strangled the healthy horse and looked back for a long time, then suddenly turned around and shouted, and the healthy horse immediately got up with four hooves and rode first, and galloped away from the depths of the blue sea grassland in front of him......
