Chapter 157: The New Year is Coming

I didn't expect that I was going to the Luoyang Barracks, and the young master immediately thought of the other three, but he was a king, and he had a lot of things to do, so how could he take care of it everywhere, so Zhou Bian smiled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"These three barracks are also strictly managed, and the order will be sent to the past today, and if there are any people who leave the barracks without permission, they will be dealt with together with the soldiers of Luoyang. However, the king will not be able to come in person, so the young master will go to reward you on behalf of the king, hehe. ”

"Yes." The young master was busy, and he didn't dare to slack off, fortunately, these three places are not far away, but he didn't think that there would always be a vast time in the land of Wangji in the future, and the tradition of condolences to the soldiers in the New Year has been preserved.

With the establishment of the disposal method and regulations for the barracks, it is time for this small court meeting to disperse. In the past, after the meeting was dismissed, after leaving the hall, I would say hello to everyone to go to their own places, but this time, as soon as the meeting ended, the young master and the master came together.

It turned out that it was the young master who grabbed the Taishi, "Today's matter, thank you Taishi for speaking for so-and-so, otherwise, with the anger of the Son of Heaven, a certain person alone would not dare to bear it." ”

"No, no, no, I don't dare to take credit, in fact, today's events are calmed down by the king himself, not my work, you don't want to talk nonsense. In my opinion, although the king has a good temper, his restraint has also grown. Today's king is the true Son of Heaven. The master shook his head at first, then nodded again.

"Yes, the king's temper is good, and he is so powerful that even such an old minister can't help but tremble. It seems that today's royal family is not as good as before, a certain young division is in charge of military affairs, but the pressure is like a mountain. The young master sighed.

The two of them kept talking, and walked to the gate of the palace together, but they listened to the Taishi, "But what the king said is not wrong, the major affairs of the country are in the Rong worship, and the soldiers are the survival of my royal family. It's just that since the beginning of this year, if the old man wants to talk about you, it's really a little unseemly, but fortunately you said it today, otherwise one day the king remembered and suddenly went to the barracks, and the anger of the son of heaven would not be what it is today. ”

"Yes." The young master hurriedly bowed his head and bowed, "I am well taught." "The two have been standing on the same front for a long time, fighting the Dan clan and fighting Luoyang Zhou Gong, they are all fighting side by side, and the Taishi is higher than the young master regardless of status or age, so the young master naturally has to listen to the words of the Taishi.

"But Taishi, in a certain opinion, what the king values is military affairs and commercial affairs, but he does not attach so much importance to this sacrifice." After the two walked a few more steps, the young master sighed when he thought about it.

"Be careful." When the Taishi heard this, he immediately grabbed the young master, and only after looking around did he let go, "This can't be said nonsense, but I'm not afraid of it reaching the ears of the king, the king doesn't care, but it's not good for the queen mother to hear it." ”

Only then did the young master wake up to the fact that the king was always dealing with sacrifices these days, and the queen mother had long been dissatisfied, and the ministers of the royal family knew about it.

I only heard the Taishi say again, "Let's separate from each other, hurry up and get busy with your military affairs, but there can't be any more mistakes." And I also have to go to the Taimiao Temple again, although the king is like that, but the old man still has to pay attention to it. ”

As he spoke, the two bowed to each other, and after saluting, one went east and the other west.

Taishi is to the east, because the ancestral temple is in the east direction of the palace, at this time this ancient hall has been cleaned, even the tiles on the roof have been sent to climb up and wipe one by one, under the winter sunshine, it seems to have returned to a little bit of the former brilliance. Standing in front of the ancestral temple, the Taishi tilted his head and looked up and down carefully for a long time, then nodded and raised his steps into the hall.

The hall was a little dim, after all, the room was big, lighting was a problem, and the sunlight shining in from the oblique patio was the master again, and even the busy officials and craftsmen around him just snorted.

After half a ring, the Taishi moved his mouth and shouted loudly, "Taishi Official? ”

A middle-aged short middle-aged man beside Taishi immediately replied, "Taishi, so-and-so is here." ”

"Well, this piece of Booman is a little long, and it's all dragged to the ground." Taishi said slowly. At this time, the ancestral temple was also separated by layers of Buman, just like a palace, which looked mysterious and majestic.

"Oh, Taishi, this piece of Buman has been there before, and no one has ever paid attention to it, so this makes people change it." The Taishi Guan followed the gaze of the Taishi, and sure enough, he found it at once.

Nodding, the Taishi was very satisfied, "Actually, your Li family is very familiar with this ritual system, far more than the old man, this big festival still needs you to work hard, and the old man can only look at these conspicuous places when he comes." "The Li family is a family of historians of the Zhou Dynasty, and the head of the family has always held the position of Taishi, and this Taishi official is the contemporary head of the family Li Tu.

Taishi official Li Tu hurriedly shook his head, "Don't dare, don't dare, everything still needs to be decided by the Taishi." By the way, yesterday's words about Taixue, can the king adopt it? ”

Taishi smiled, "If the old man doesn't say it, now your name has become taboo in the king, every time the old man mentions that the Taishi has something to say, the king waves his hand again and again, refusing to listen again, and the old man can't either." ”

"Oh." Taishi Li Tu nodded, as if he was slightly thoughtful, but he didn't see disappointment.

After seeing the three major halls accompanied by Taishi, Taishi had nothing to do and returned to his mansion. Taishi's mansion is where the Deng family used to be, after the Deng family took away, the king rewarded this mansion to the Taishi, since then this is not very obvious mansion, it has become the most glamorous Gaomen compound in Luoyang City, who let Taishi is the important minister of the royal family.

Sending away several local Luoyang down-and-out scholars hovering at the door, the Taishi walked into the compound amid the welcome of Menzi. Although this mansion is large, there are not many Taishi families, so many places in the backyard are still empty. At this time, every nobleman's mansion had a front hall, just like the layout at the front of the palace, and the Taishi's home was naturally no exception. Unexpectedly, as soon as the Taishi entered the front hall, a figure immediately pounced.

"Father, what is the matter I told you?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, dressed as a son, with a beard two inches long, and he looked like a Taishi between his eyebrows, and it was clearly Zheng Shan, the only son of the Taishi.

However, the Taishi was angry, "I don't want a good title, but I prefer to do business, is it so good for you to do business?" A hundred years after the old man, this high position is not yours, but you don't learn and don't know how to do it, the old man asks you again, have you finished reading Zhou Li? ”

Zheng Shan, a middle-aged scholar, shook his head, "Father, you can pass the title directly to the second son, he reads a lot." It's not that the kid said, according to the status of the eldest father in the king's heart, that is, if we want to enjoy the royal business like the Bai family, it is okay. Seeing that the eldest father is so busy every day, the reward is less than one-tenth of the Bai family's business. ”

"What kind of bird are you talking about!" Taishi couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth when he was angry. "After the Bai family was ruined, Fang had to do business to make a living, on the other hand, your eldest father has been ranked first among the ministers, and the royal family shares honor and disgrace, and the royal family will be developed in the future, what do you want to be rich and noble. But you still want to go to the market to compete for profits like the Bai family, don't you see that Bai Gui is also trying to come to the royal family as an official? ”

Hearing his eldest father's anger, Zheng Shan couldn't help but bow his head and didn't dare to talk back, although Zheng Shan was idle, he was still extremely afraid of his father, but he still couldn't help muttering in his mouth, "I always say that the royal family will be developed in the future, but I don't know when it will be, which one will earn it first." ”

The business of this sentence is very small, and the Taishi's ears are not very good, so he didn't hear it clearly, but it was not expected to be a good word, so he was angry in his heart, and the Taishi couldn't help but shout, "Boy, what did you just say, say it loudly again." ”

Zheng Shan suddenly didn't dare to make a sound, but fortunately, at this time, a child's voice sounded, relieving Zheng Shan.

"Grandfather is back!" The child's voice came from the inner door of the main hall, and when the master heard the voice, he saw that it was his favorite little grandson Zheng Ding, so he hurriedly left Zheng Shan and stepped forward, touched Zheng Ding's little head, and asked very lovingly, "What are you reading today?" ”

That Zheng Ding was only eight years old, and he was obviously very loved at home, and when he heard that his grandfather wanted to ask, he replied in a milky voice, "Go back to your grandfather, according to my grandfather's instructions, I read the Analects today." The old gentleman can only teach me to read it, but the meaning of the language is not very clear, I heard that there is a master Yan in the Luoyang Academy, when will my grandfather send me to the Luoyang Academy to study? ”

Taishi still touched Zheng Ding's head, "Don't worry, isn't this the New Year coming, let's wait until the New Year is over." Besides, my grandson is talented and intelligent, and he can read and write at the age of eight, which is really unearthly, and he is second only to the king, where do I need that Yan Fuzi to teach him? "It is said that the old man loves his grandson very much, who said that the Taishi is not, I have heard that there are so many people in Yan Gao that Yan executives can't control it, where is the Taishi willing to send his grandson?

It is said that the New Year is coming, and the last big pilgrimage meeting before the New Year is over. This court meeting can be held specifically for the New Year, after all, this is the first New Year for the royal family to return to Luoyang, and there are many things that have to be announced at the court meeting, such as rewarding the ministers. In fact, after the royal family listened to Han Hou's promise, they slowed down the pace of tension, and at the end of the year, the working capital of various industries of the royal family was also recovered, and there were hundreds of thousands of surpluses, so Zhou Bian was in charge, and the court announced on the spot that the ministers would be rewarded, 5,000 yuan for the Taishi, 4,000 yuan for the young master, 3,000 yuan for the young master, 3,000 yuan for the young master, 3,000 yuan for the young master, 2,000 yuan for the young master, 2,000 yuan for the general of the dragon, and 1,000 yuan for all the commanders, and the rest of the nobles and their children were all rewarded, which was also regarded as a royal dividend. This is beyond everyone's expectations, such as Taishi and others have to show off when they get home.

Of course, this is not the focus of Zhou Bian's concern, his daughter is scattered and comes back, not to mention that he is still buying people's hearts. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, but the news he is most concerned about has not yet come, Zhou Bian looked at the east every day, and finally went to heaven to miss Da Zhou, but he didn't expect that it was the day before the big sacrifice, looking forward to the Qin Gongzi Yingquliang who had been separated for many days.

At the moment when he saw Gongzi Quliang's expression, Zhou Bian's heart relaxed, and the matter was settled. Unexpectedly, Gongzi Quliang smiled and stepped aside, only to see a young man in Chinese clothes step forward and bow and salute, "Han Gongziwu, on behalf of my father, meet the king!" ”

It turned out to be the crown prince of South Korea, and the next Han Hou - Han Wu came in person.
