Chapter 732: The Return of the Land (11)

The temptation of the title is a very big temptation for these children of the family who have become white. Many people are thinking that in the chaotic times of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, I don't know how many families declined, and after the establishment of Li Tang, as long as it was not a hero of Li Tang or a minister with great influence, the previous titles were abolished. Without a title and official position, just relying on the previous in-law relationship and the little wealth retained by the family, sooner or later it will be empty. What's more, wealth is moving, in a place like Chang'an, there are still many big families like wolves who are looking at meat, staring at them like a down-and-out family! Even the in-laws are staring at you with red eyebrows and green eyes. And as long as there is a knighthood and can inherit it, it is only a matter of time before the family rises anew. What's more, thinking of this, someone immediately said goodbye to Cui Xingyuan.

"Brother! Under the younger brother, I remembered that I still have something to do! I went first. ”

"Ahh Eldest brother! We also went first. For a moment, the whole hall seemed empty. A few days later, Li Jiancheng got a recital from Cheng Yanjin, which said that Lu Yazhi, Cui Jiayong, Cui He and the three of them ignored Sheng'en in vain and neglected their duties, which is really hateful! However, please remember the old age of the parents of the three people, and hope that Your Majesty will be gracious. Able to spare the three of them. The parents of the three of them were willing to lead the whole clan to Liaodong for resettlement. Open up the wasteland for Your Majesty and atone for your sins! There are not only people from the Cui family and the Lu family, but even people from the Boling Xue family and the Bohai Gao family. Most of them are some down-and-out families. The Bohai Gao family even said that the ancestral residence of their family was lost by Yang Guang, the former Sui monarch, and only the Goguryeo barbarians occupied it, and fortunately met His Majesty and recovered the lost land. Now, I also hope that the leaves will return to their roots. Return to the homeland of Liaodong. After Li Jiancheng saw the folds handed over by Cheng Yanjin, he laughed in his heart - it seems that the bones I threw out finally found a few dogs. Li Jiancheng immediately issued an edict to exempt Lu Yazhi, Cui Jiayong, and Cui He from their capital crimes, and they were all transferred to Liaodong. In addition, in recognition of the heart of these patriarchs to serve the country, Li Jiancheng ordered Cheng to bite the gold to bring these patriarchs into the palace to see His Majesty. Subsequently, Cui Xingyuan and others were given golden canes to the leaders of the Lu family, the Boling Xue family, and the Bohai Gao family with their old age. As a token of appreciation. The Cui family, the Lu family, the Boling Xue family, and the Bohai Gao family took their own clansmen to Liaodong. The local officials along the way were given a decree from Li Jiancheng to properly arrange their food and lodging. And every time the leader of the Cui family went to a place, he held up the golden cane given by Li Jiancheng and shouted long live, the emperor's grace was mighty. Not far behind, the patriarch of the Bohai Gao family told the local reception officials that Li Jiancheng had recovered Liaodong so that his family could finally return to his homeland. The Bohai Gao family will always remember Li Jiancheng's great kindness. After Li Jiancheng received the local report, he gave the title of Earl of Kaiguo County in the name of Cui Xingyuan and the patriarch of the Gao family. After the children of the family in Luoyang, Chang'an heard about this incident, they all laughed at the Cui family and the Gao family for 'five buckets of rice', and sold the dignity and face of the family for the title of a founding county earl. If those officials hadn't gotten Li Jiancheng's holy decree first, let them receive them well. In their hearts, they all despise these prisoners and homeless people who were sent to Liaodong. But what happened later surprised many people. In Hedong, Wenxi cultivated the original Shangshuling, and Pei Lian, the Duke of the Jin Kingdom, wrote to Li Jiancheng, saying that he was infected by the Cui family and the Gao family, and hoped to let his young son lead the side children to Liaodong to reclaim the wasteland, and then Chen Shuda, who was recuperating in the south of the Yangtze River, also wrote to Li Jiancheng, hoping that his son would lead the children of the clan to Liaodong. In the name of the two meritorious veterans who cared about state affairs, Li Jiancheng specially sent a Chinese envoy to commend them. With the move of the family, the wounded soldiers and displaced people who stayed in Youzhou had nothing to say, and began to migrate to Liaodong, and with the cooperation of local officials in Youzhou and Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and others, hundreds of reclamation regiments and immigrant counties were established in Liaodong. It laid the foundation for the future development of Liaodong and the continued expansion in the northeast.

In Liaodong, a team of people dressed as Taoist priests walked the official road outside the gate.

"Hey! It's a tough road! ”

"Yes! At the beginning, Master Sanzang left Chang'an City and went to Mobei to preach, which was really an unprecedented grand occasion, and now, we came to Liaodong to preach, but we didn't expect that this out of Youzhou, the road to Liaodong is so difficult to walk! ”

"Yes! It's so cold in Liaodong! I don't want to be in the Central Plains, it's still summer, but here, it's already winter. ”

"yes!"

"Don't even speak, at the beginning, our Taishang Ancestor founded the Taoist foundation, how hard it was, and at the beginning, when our Laojun Temple was just established, how difficult it was. It's not built brick by brick, so don't talk too much. Good go! Follow the master. Don't be left behind! Daoist Xie Hong looked back and smiled bitterly. Just talking about a few small Taoist priests, Xie Hong Taoist thought of Liaodong preaching, and said to the disciples in the Guannei, those who are willing to go with themselves can be together, and those who are unwilling can leave the Taoist Temple, and Xie Hong recommended them to go to join the army. Those who are willing to follow themselves can go to Liaodong together. All of a sudden, most of the people in Lao Junguan left. There are only a few little Taoist priests left, because they are young, they have grown up in the Taoist temple since they were children, they have nothing to do with outside, and their martial arts are not very good, and they have never been in the army, so they have not left. And the older Taoist priest who reprimanded those little Taoist priests just now was not the Taoist priest of Lao Junguan. It was the inner court guard sent by Li Jiancheng to Daoist Xie Hong. Just a few days ago. Li Jiancheng secretly summoned Daoist Xie Hong.

"Dao Chief, I heard that you Lao Junguan have left a lot of people recently, is this true?"

"Your Majesty, you are really a wide range of eyes and ears in the world! Yes, Your Majesty, Poor Dao is about to leave for Liaodong, but the future of this trip is unpredictable, and, to tell Your Majesty the truth, many of the hearts of those disciples of Poor Dao have flown away. Since their hearts are not here in the poor road, it is better to release them immediately, and in the future, they will also have a good fate. Li Jiancheng smiled:

"The Taoist is humble! Alright, Daoist, I have come here this time because I want to ask Daoist for help! ”

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"The Taoist will dismiss most of the disciples, and when the time comes, go to Liaodong, and there are no proud disciples around the Taoist Chief, this tea and water, I'm afraid the service is not very thoughtful, right!?"

"Hmmm! Your Majesty, the poor Dao is still in good health! His Majesty has bothered. Li Jiancheng pointed out the door, and a burly Taoist priest with a handsome face walked in:

"See Your Majesty, see Master!" Li Jiancheng introduced to Daoist Xie Hong:

"Daoist Xie Hong, this is my Imperial Forest Zuo Lieutenant, Zhao Deyi! Zhao Duwei is not only strong in martial arts, but also knows medical skills, there are herds of tigers, leopards, wolves and bears in Liaodong, and the weather is cold. The Taoist took Zhao Duwei, not only could he protect the Taoist on the road, but if there were any other illnesses and two pains, Zhao Duwei could also help the Taoist to heal. Kill two birds with one stone. Zhao Deyi! This is the Northeast Xuanfu Immortal Master and your future master, Daoist Xie Hong. Don't hurry up and call the master! Zhao Deyi ran to Daoist Xie Hong and saluted respectfully:

"Apprentice Zhao Deyi see the master!" Daoist Xie Hong didn't know what Li Jiancheng's intentions were, but he immediately helped Zhao Deyi up.

"Your Majesty! I thanked Your Majesty. Li Jiancheng nodded.

"Since Dao Chang is willing to accept this apprentice, then, Zhao Duwei, you can follow Dao Elder Xie Hong back to Laojunguan today!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, wait!"

"Huh?! Does the Taoist want to regret it now? Li Jiancheng felt a little strange. Daoist Xie Hong explained:

"Your Majesty, Poor Dao is not regretting! It's just that, Your Majesty, many disciples of Poor Dao have seen it, and people in Chang'an know that Poor Dao has recommended most of the disciples to the army. Or let them go on their own. Now staying by the side of the poor road, they are all a few children. Therefore, Zhao Duwei rashly entered the poor Dao Sect, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of others. ”

"What does the Taoist mean?"

"Two days later, Poor Dao will close Laojunguan and go to Liaodong, but before Poor Dao leaves. Zhao Duwei can come to Benguan. Poor Dao said that he was a disciple of Poor Dao in his early years, and he returned from wandering. When the time comes, we will go to Liaodong together. In this way, it will not raise suspicions. Li Jiancheng nodded. On the day when Daoist Xie Hong was about to leave Laojunguan. A dusty, tattered Taoist priest came to Laojunguan. saw Daoist Xie Hong at the door, and immediately knelt in front of Daoist Xie Hong:

"Master! Master! The apprentice has finally found you. The little Taoist priest behind Daoist Xie Hong scolded the Taoist priest:

"Hey! Where did the madman come from! What do you recognize? This is our master! Don't take it personally! ”

"You are? ……”

"Master! I'm a spiritual officer! Daoist Xie Hong carefully looked at the Taoist priest:

"What? Are you a spiritual officer? Are you really a spiritual officer? ”

"Yes! Master! I'm a spiritual officer! I've finally found you! After Daoist Xie Hong helped the Lingguan Taoist priest up. Explained to the little Taoist priest behind him:

"Do not be afraid! This is your brother! The law name Lingguan is an apprentice who was accepted in Jiangnan when the teacher had not yet entered the old monarch. Later, your senior brother was ordered to be a teacher and traveled the world, and you haven't seen your senior brother soon! After listening to Daoist Xie Hong's words, a few little Taoist priests immediately came over to see Senior Brother. However, it can be seen that these little Taoist priests are a little unconvinced.

"Master! Where are you going? ”

"Oh! As a teacher, he was ordered by the Holy God to go to Liaodong to preach, so he is going to Liaodong today. Lingguan, if you want, go with the master! If you don't want to, you still have some connections in Louguan, and you can go to Louguan to place orders. ”

"Master, wherever you go, you will go as an apprentice!"

"Good! Apprentice, then you can go with the teacher! In this way, there was one more person in Daoist Xie Hong's entourage. Originally, these little Taoist priests were not very convinced by this senior brother in their hearts, but along the way, these little Taoist priests slowly became convinced by this 'senior brother'. Because, this senior brother not only has a good kung fu, but also has very high medical skills. On the way, whoever has a headache and brain fever, as long as he passes through the hands of this senior brother, he will be cured of the disease immediately. Except for the stern tone. There is nothing bad about it. In this way, Daoist Xie Hong slowly came to Liaoyang City, the location of the Liaodong Left-behind Mansion.
