Chapter 37: The Prisoner (II)
Zheng Yuanshou, is he going to be promoted?
Zheng Yanqing was surprised when he heard the news.
It seems that Zheng Yuanshou wants to befriend Zheng Renji, and there was no news about this before, so he should have concealed it.
Yong'an County, located in Huo County, Shanxi Province in the later generations, established Yong'an County in the Northern Wei Dynasty, abolished the county system at the beginning of the Emperor's reign, and changed its name to Huoyi. In the third year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of Sui abolished the county system and reused the county system, and the name of Yong'an County was reused.
The area under its jurisdiction, including Huo County and Hongdong County in later generations, is the only way for Taiyuan to pass through Guanzhong.
It can be seen that although Emperor Yang of Sui is not very satisfied with Zheng Shanyuan, he is basically quite fond of Zheng Yuanshou.
Zheng Renji is right, Zheng Weishan is a good martial artist, and it is a pity to stay in Luoyang.
It is better to go to Yong'an with Zheng Yuanshou, at least he has a fame. This is very good for Zheng Weishan and for the second room.
"In this case, the old man is not hypocritical, while he can still work, let's make another contribution to our An Yuantang."
Zheng Shi'an happily agreed.
He knows when to be humble and when to be responsible.
is too modest, but it will make Zheng Renji feel that he has a plan. Happily agreeing, it will put Jung In-ki at ease. This old man's grasp of people's minds can be said to be perfect. Sure enough, Zheng Renji smiled...... "Brother Yanqing, do you want to go back to Luoyang?" ”
Zheng Hongyi was a little reluctant, took Zheng Yanqing's hand, and asked softly, "Why don't you stay here...... I'm so bored here. Brother Xu is not here, you are not here, no one is playing with me, and no one is telling me stories. ”
Zheng Yanqing hugged Zheng Hongyi and said softly: "A good man has ambitions in all directions, Hongyi, you are not small, you should learn to share your uncle's worries." I'm glad that you secretly sent someone to tell me this time. Although I am in Luoyang, I will keep an eye on you...... Don't say play, you can't fall behind in your homework. I heard that Mr. Yan is coming back, and if you find out that you have neglected your homework, you will probably be blamed. In this way, Brother Xu and I are free, and we will come back to see you often. ”
Zheng Hongyi smiled at this time.
—————————————————————————— said he was leaving, but he couldn't leave all of a sudden.
Zheng Shi'an became the patriarch, and his status has skyrocketed, and there are naturally many things to do.
The second room Zheng Zusheng brothers heard that Zheng Weishan was going to enter the official career, and they were extremely happy.
Especially Zheng Zuxing, Zheng Weishan is his flesh and blood. Now that he has a chance, he, as a father, is naturally very happy. Therefore, he repeatedly invited Zheng Shi'an to a banquet, expressing his gratitude in his heart. In Zheng Zuxing's view, Zheng Weishan can have such a talent, not relying on Zheng Renji, but relying on the light of Zheng Shi'an's ancestors, so he is more cordial to Zheng Shi'an.
Zheng Shi'an's original residence naturally can no longer be inhabited.
As a clan elder, the residence is too cold, wouldn't it be a loss for the Zheng family?
So after Zheng Renji and others discussed, they broke ground on the shore of Donglin Lake and built a large mansion.
It covers an area of about 100 hectares, which is still Zheng Shi'an's repeated requests to reduce it to this extent.
Divided into three courtyards in the front, middle and back, the courtyard in the courtyard, the winding path leads to the secluded. Next to Donglim Lake, it is where the garden of the back house is located.
There are rockeries and flowing waters, pavilions and pavilions.
When Zheng Shi'an saw this drawing, he sighed with emotion.
When did he think that he had such a beautiful day? The location here is excellent, standing in the attic, you can listen to the Sanskrit sound of the Zen bell of Donglin Temple, and enjoy the sparkling beauty of the clear lake. There is also a cherry grove by the lake, and it is indeed an excellent place to get together with friends and have a drink...... Zheng Yanqing didn't think anything, what he was concerned about now was Shen Guang's injury.
After the battle between Shen Guang and the Wild Lion of the Western Regions, the meridians of his arm were damaged. The doctor said that if you don't have a 100-day recuperation, I'm afraid you won't get better. Moreover, when cultivating, it is also necessary to cooperate with many precious medicinal materials. These herbs alone cost a lot of money.
Fortunately, Zheng Yanqing is not short of money now, so he did not hesitate to ask the doctor to prepare a prescription.
Shen Guang was secretly moved in his heart: this young master is not only talented and intelligent, but also extremely friendly to people.
After the defeat of Yang Liang, the king of Han, Shen Guang wandered around.
I have seen many heroes with good skills and good martial arts, but after being injured, they were abandoned by the owner, and finally fell into despair.
In contrast, my luck was good.
A good owner, and a good owner with great promises...... In Shen Guang's heart, he began to calculate.
"Sir, does this recipe really work?"
Zheng Yanqing took a yellowed prescription and asked suspiciously.
The doctor who came to treat Shen Guang was in his sixties. He said softly: "Don't worry, Childe, this recipe is absolutely effective."
Do you know the Shaolin Temple?
The warrior monk over there, when there is a meridian injury, is to use this recipe to dispense medicine and dredge the meridians. I'll tell you the truth, this recipe was given by my nephew. He became a monk at the age of seven in Shaolin Temple, where he studied under Master Can, and now practices at Zhengjue Temple in Huangmei Po'e Mountain. This recipe was secretly given to me by him before he practiced with Master Can. ”
Master Cheng Can?
Could it be the three ancestors of Zen Buddhism, the monk Can?
Zheng Yanqing shook his head and looked at the doctor in surprise, "But I don't know what your nephew's name is?" ”
"Oh, when he was a monk at the age of seven, he received the name of Taoism in the Shaolin Temple.
Later, he apprenticed to Master Can, and he is still called by this name. My nephew's surname is Sima, so some people call him Sima Daoxin. ”
Four Ancestors, Daoxin?
Zheng Yanqing was really shocked this time!
It turns out that celebrities are everywhere...... Sima Daoxin, is he actually the nephew of the doctor in front of him?
In the previous life, there were many Buddhists who deceived the world and stole their names, and the original intention of Buddhism has also changed beyond recognition with the passage of time.
Shaolin Temple, how did I forget about Shaolin Temple?
In later generations, Shaolin Temple was no longer a pure land of Buddhism, and became a tool for a group of monks to make money. Shaolin Temple is not too far from Xingyang, but no one has mentioned it before, and Yanqing has almost forgotten this place. Or rather, he instinctively abandoned the place. It's really because of the impression left on the Shaolin Temple in the previous life, which is really bad.
But now...... The story of the thirteen stick monks saving the Tang King has not yet happened, and the fame of the Shaolin Temple is far less resounding than that of later generations.
On the contrary, it is the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, the Xiangshan Temple, and the Donglin Temple in Xingyang, which are far more famous than the Shaolin Temple.
He looked at the prescription in his hand, but he also believed eighty percent.
You can say that the monks of later generations are cheating, but the recipe handed down by Master Daoxin can be believed.
Yan Qing paid 100 copper coins and bought this recipe.
After sending the doctor away, he immediately asked Mao Xiaonian to go to the pharmacy and grab the medicine according to the medicine on this prescription. Then he personally decocted medicine for Shen Guang, boiled a bucket of water into a basin of water for a whole afternoon, and then helped Shen Guang over.
The arm was soaked in the medicinal juice, and it was hot and painful.
But Shen Guang was very grateful in his heart, grateful to Yan Qing for spending a lot of money, and even more grateful to Yan Qing for personally boiling medicine for him.
It's just that Shen Guang is not good at expressing his feelings, and he secretly buried this gratitude in his heart.
That night, Yan Qingzhao fell asleep with Shen Guang and was about to go back to the room, but was called over by Zheng Shi'an.
"Yanqing, things here have been almost done, if you look for a job, you should go back to Luoyang as soon as possible."
Zheng Yanqing was stunned, "Grandpa, aren't you going back?" ”
"Of course I want to go back...... It's just that when the building is under construction, someone needs to keep an eye on it. It won't be too long, though, and when everything is in orbit, I'll be able to get there. About half a month, and I will return to Luoyang in half a month. ”
Zheng Yanqing thought about it and nodded slightly.
Although Zheng Shi'an is now an elder, some surnames cannot be changed.
The groundbreaking of a building is a big deal. Although Zheng Shi'an does not need to stare at the whole process, he must be present to break ground. Because this is a happy event, and for ordinary people, it is a centennial memorabilia.
"In that case, then I'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Yan Qing suddenly asked: "Grandpa, you took over the Luoyang industry, can you take care of it alone?" You need a helper. ”
"Oh, I'm with the eldest prince about this...... Renji has discussed, but it is not easy to find a suitable candidate at this time. There are a few candidates for each room, but after thinking about it, they are not very suitable. You also know that there are not many talents available in the Zheng family now, and most of the three generations are idle people, and if they go to Luoyang, they will provoke right and wrong. ”
Zheng Yanqing is also a third-generation clansman.
It seems that Yanqing and Zheng Hongyi belong to the three generations, and they are among the youngest.
However, there are also older children, not many children of the third generation in their twenties and thirties, but most of them can't make it to the climate.
"What then?"
"Renji did bring up a candidate, but it's not very safe."
"Who?"
"Yanqing, do you remember five years ago, the second master...... No, is it the person that the second brother brought back from Taiyuan? ”
Zheng Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, and said softly: "Could it be that Wang Jingwen?" ”
How did he not remember this incident, it was precisely because of this incident that Duoduo and Xu Ma left Xingyang. Moreover, it was the first and only murder in his life. What was the name of the man who died at his hands?
Zheng Yanqing couldn't remember the name of the guy he killed, but he vaguely remembered that the person's surname was Pei, and it seemed that he was still from the Pei clan in Hedong. But it shouldn't be too high, otherwise it won't be gone, and it won't be possible to have no reaction at all.
Zheng Shi'an said: "That person's name is Wang Yan, but now he is called Wang Jingwen. ”
"The eldest lord didn't kill him?"
Zheng Shi'an shook his head, "Originally, the eldest master wanted to use him to stabilize King Han, so he kept him. Later, it was discovered that this Wang Jingwen was indeed a real talent. After His Majesty ascended the throne, Wang Jingwen once persuaded the eldest lord not to be too close to Duke Chu. But the old man refused to listen...... Later, the eldest lord kept him.
When the Duke of Chu was alive, he asked about this person, but the eldest master said that he had already killed him.
Later, the Duke of Chu died, and no one in the court asked him again. Renji said that this man is a good hand, resourceful, and quite discerning. I'm just worried that if I take it to Luoyang, I will be recognized and get into big trouble.
I've been hesitating for a few days, whether I should want this person.
On the one hand, I need someone to help me out. But on the other hand, it is a great danger. ”
"The eldest prince means ......"
"The eldest prince is also very difficult for him, on the one hand, he wants to use him, but on the other hand, he does not dare to use him. And I'm also worried, will he really help us? ”
Zheng Yanqing was also hesitant.
It is too risky to bring Wang Jingwen back to Luoyang, and Zheng Yanqing is not willing to take this risk; But if you stay in Xingyang, or kill it, it seems to be a pity. After all, talents are rare, and people who can be praised by Zheng Dashi, and even relied on by the King of Han and remembered by Yang Su are by no means simple. I can't use it, and I feel very sorry to kill it.
Zheng Yanqing thought about it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Grandpa, I have an idea."
"Oh?"
Zheng Yanqing lay in Zheng Shi'an's ear and muttered for a while, "The teacher is now in a bitter cold place, and he also needs someone to help him." Since this Wang Jingwen can't see the light, he simply gives him to the teacher, at least he can be safer.
In fact, leaving Wang Jingwen in Xingyang is not a long-term solution.
After all, there are many pedestrians passing by here, and if you are not careful one day, you may be seen as flawed and cause trouble. Therefore, it is best to send it to Tongwan Town...... I can revise a book, read the teacher's opinion, and then make a decision. ”
Others are afraid of being implicated, but Li Ji probably won't be afraid.
Zheng Yanqing felt that Li Ji could clean up Wang Hao. Maybe he can also make him a helper for Li Ji.
In this way, Li Ji's position in the Li Tang Dynasty will be more stable in the future, and maybe he will be able to form an alliance with the Bacheng Wang clan.
It not only solved An Yuantang's worries, but also kept a good talent.
It can also add a helper to Li Ji, and more importantly, it will also be very beneficial to himself. Why not?
Zheng Shi'an listened and nodded again and again.
"Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you.
But it needs to be solved as soon as possible, and I will set up a relationship with that Wang Jingwen here, and pull something close to something. As soon as there is a reply from your teacher's side, I will immediately order someone to send him there...... It's just that I might have to go back later.
Also, Wang Jingwen's matter has been solved, and there is still no settlement on our side. ”
When Zheng Yanqing heard this, he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.
Yes, patronizing to solve Wang Jingwen's problem, how should I do my own affairs?
"Grandpa, it's better to put this matter aside for a while, and let the helper's affairs follow. It's really not good, let's look for it in Luoyang.
Anyway, there are many people in Luoyang, and there are many people who want to climb under the guise of our Zheng family, so you can choose slowly. ”
"In that case, let's do as you say."
———————————————————————————— the matter of selecting staff members is really not too important these days.
In the next two days, Zheng Yanqing followed Zheng Shi'an to visit the owners of various houses, and then prepared to return to Luoyang. But this time when I went back, the momentum was very different from when I came. Zheng Shi'an became the patriarch of the clan, and the family generals and servants were naturally indispensable.
In addition to leaving some people behind to take care of the Xingyang house, Yanqing also had to bring some.
Zheng Yanqing didn't want to be so troublesome, but Zheng Shi'an disagreed. It's not just Zheng Sai On who disagrees, but many people, including Zheng Renji. Four years ago, Zheng Yanqing's ancestors and grandchildren left in a light car, but he was famous.
Now, Yan Qing has become a cloud cavalry captain and has a good reputation in Shilin.
The necessary pomp and circumstance is a certainty!
Therefore, Zheng Renji dispatched ten clan warriors from Anyuan Hall and followed Zheng Yanqing back to Luoyang. For these ten samurai, they also hope to have a bright future with Zheng Yanqing. At the same time, Zheng Yuanshou also sent five Jiao Jie Lux soldiers, all of whom were drawn from the Youwu Hou Army as Zheng Yanqing's guards.
plus Pei Zi, Dang Shijie, the three brothers and Shen Guang.
and Mao Xiaonian, who was sent to Zheng Yanqing's side by Zheng Shi'an...... The return procession grew to more than 20 people, and together with three or five carriages, left Xingyang on a sunny morning.
"Is the kid gone?"
In the Xingyang Restaurant, Zheng Shi threw the wine glass in his hand on the dining table.
His face was hideous and terrifying, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "The two-headed snake in Shouyang Mountain, have you ever been in contact?" ”
"Second Master Qiqi, I have already been contacted.
The two-headed snake said that as long as he passed by him, he would definitely do it beautifully. It's just that the price has to be higher. ”
"Send someone to tell the two-headed snake at once, money is not a problem, I want that kid's life...... Zheng Shi'an, you old gelding, have robbed me of the position of the elder of my clan. Hehe, Lao Tzu will want you to cut off your children and grandchildren this time! ”
