Chapter 17: The Eldest Grandson (Ask for Recommendation Collection)
With Zheng Shi'an's means, it is really simple to pass on the news unknowingly.
The family servants of the old house in Luoyang are finally closer to Zheng Shi'an.
Although Cui Daolin is the master of the house, in the eyes of the servants of the old mansion, he is always a person with a foreign surname.
The power of the clan is incomparably stronger. Even if Cui Daolin has the means, it is impossible to control the old mansion immediately. Moreover, the residents of Tianjin Bridge Market can also be regarded as members of the old Zheng family. He has lived under the Tianjin Bridge for generations, and is closely related to the people in the old house. So as soon as Zheng Shi'an gave an order here, someone immediately went to report it.
For Zheng Yanqing, the things in Luoyang City have basically nothing to do with him.
went to bed early, and Zheng Shi'an and Zheng Weishan pushed the cup and changed the lamp in the outhouse, and it was not over until the morning rooster reported that it was over.
At dawn the next day, Zheng Shi'an left the old house in Luoyang with Yanqing.
Zheng Yanqing didn't salute either, only took the green donkey, and followed his grandfather out of Luoyang City and went to the direction of the grange.
The Grange also got the news.
There are so many fields in this field, a matter of one radish and one pit, if the people of Tianjin Bridge move over, many tenants will have to face the problem of having no land to plant. Therefore, as soon as Zheng Shi'an's ancestors and grandchildren arrived at the grange, the tenants immediately heard the news.
"Old housekeeper, we have been planting fields for the Zheng family for decades, why do you suddenly want to drive us away?"
"yes, yes, what are we going to do if we don't allow the land to be cultivated. The whole family, young and old, can live on these lands...... Old butler, you have to call the shots for us, you can't ignore this matter, otherwise we won't be able to live! ”
The tenants were shouting, and Zheng Shi'an's face was gloomy.
"This matter is not under my control, now this Luoyang is in charge, it is Cui Daolin Cui Steward, if you are dissatisfied, you can go to him." I'm just in charge of placement...... It's not that I don't want to take care of it, it's that I can't manage it, and I can't manage it. ”
The crowd fell silent.
After a long time, someone suddenly said loudly: "Let's not embarrass the old housekeeper, let's go to Cui Daolin for comment." ”
"That's right, look for Cui Daolin to judge ......"
Seeing the excitement of the tenants, Zheng Shi'an couldn't help frowning.
"Yanqing, will this cause a mess?"
"Grandpa, don't worry about it, this matter has nothing to do with us.
Didn't Cui Daolin say it, as long as you take care of the grange and settle the people of Tianjin Bridge properly, why should you worry? If Cui Daolin comes forward to solve it, I'm afraid it won't be good on Mrs. Cui's side; If he doesn't solve it, the eldest prince won't give him a good face. It can only be said that this person's ability is limited, and he can't be held accountable for anything. ”
Unknowingly, Zheng Shi'an has regarded Yanqing as the backbone.
Hearing Zheng Yanqing say this, he nodded lightly at the moment.
That's right, this matter has nothing to do with you, so why bother? Since the eldest prince doesn't trust him, if he comes forward, he will misunderstand the eldest prince. Just do your own thing, and the rest has nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, Zheng Shi'an immediately asked people to catch the car and slowly drove into the grange.
As Zheng Yanqing said, in the afternoon of the same day, the tenants of Tianjin Bridge and the tenants of the Grange approached Cui Daolin for questioning.
Also as Yan Qing predicted, Cui Daolin refused to negotiate very rudely, and even invited the public in the Luoyang Yamen to come forward and forcibly disperse the crowd. It was Mrs. Cui's idea to strike the Tianjin Bridge Market, expel the Tianjin Bridge residents, and build a restaurant. Cui Daolin would not risk offending Mrs. Cui and consulted with these people.
In Cui Daolin's eyes, these people are just a bunch of.
originally thought that everyone would make another fuss.
However, after the Luoyang Yamen sent people to disperse the crowd, both the residents of Tianjin Bridge and the tenants of the Grange fell silent at once, and no one came to make trouble again. Cui Daolin is secretly proud, a group of cheap mouths, and dare to compete with the Zheng family?
When Zheng Yanqing heard about it, he smiled......
"Grandpa, look at it, this matter is not over yet!"
Zheng Shi'an also sneered again and again, wrote a letter overnight, and sent someone to Xingyang.
This matter must be known to Zheng Dashi. And Zheng Shi'an must clear up this relationship, otherwise there will be endless trouble.
Don't look at Zheng Shi'an's lack of literacy, but if you talk about the heart, he is a hundred times stronger than Cui Daolin.
――――――――――――――――――――――
Everything is fine with the Grange, at least on the surface, peaceful.
There are more than 100 households in Zheng's Grange, of which more than seventy percent of them rely on farming for the Zheng family to earn a living. The remaining 30% are some enjoy open fields, and some rely on fishing and hunting for a living. The terrain of Luoyang is high in the west and low in the east, with staggered mountains, rivers and hills, and the terrain is intricate. With Luoyang as the center, there are more than a dozen mountain ranges in all directions, such as Yu Mountain, Pi Mountain, Qingyao Mountain, Jingzi Mountain, Longmen Mountain, etc.; The river canals are dense, and seven or eight rivers of Yishui, Luoshui, Qinghe and Jianhe flow through Luoyang.
Since ancient times, this Luoyang has been called surrounded by mountains, six rivers flowing side by side, and eight passes.
There is a way to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the water to eat the water.
In the small Zheng Family Grange, there are all kinds of characters.
However, most of them built caves according to the topography, one pit and ten kilns, which was also the main way of life in the Heluo area at that time.
This pit is like the great courtyard of the Hereafter.
The reason why I live in this way is because of the terrain on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also because of the life of the force.
Living in such a cave is much cheaper than building a brick house, and it is very comfortable to live in, which is the first choice of poor people.
Of course, Zheng Shi'an could not live in a pit kiln.
The Zheng family had a house in the grange, and he lived in a house with seven or eight rooms, a small courtyard, stables, and other well-equipped dwellings. Of course, there are better houses in the Grange, but they are not for Zheng Sai On to live in.
Passing through the Grange and going up against the Yishui River, two mountains can be seen.
The mountain resembles the gateway to the south of Luoyang, and was called Yique in ancient times. The two mountains face each other from east to west, Yishui is Longmen Mountain to the west, and Xiangshan is to the east.
During the Taihe period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen of Wei moved the capital to Luoyang.
Because of the Buddha worship in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen dug a grotto in Longmen Mountain to build a Buddha statue, which is the famous Longmen Grottoes in later generations.
However, at this time, the Longmen Grottoes were just beginning to take shape, and they could not reach the scale that later generations said.
Zheng Yanqing had visited the Longmen Grottoes in his previous life, but at that time, due to various reasons, especially the impact of the war, many Buddhist shrine relief murals were robbed by the war robbers. For example, the relief statue of Binyang Cave in Longmen Grottoes now appears in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in later generations. Yan Qing really wants to see, what does this original relief statue look like?
So on the third day after arriving at the Grange, Zheng Yanqing rode the green donkey and walked leisurely towards Longmen Mountain.
Xiao Suo, who said in winter, has long disappeared.
Along the way, everything you see is full of energy*, which makes you feel extra comfortable.
Of course, Zheng Yanqing can't go out alone, after all, he is too young. The person who led the way for him was named Mao Wang, who was Mao Xiaoba's father. This is a very simple and honest farmer, and his reputation in the grange is also quite good.
While answering Zheng Yanqing's question, he led the way in front.
Seeing it, crossing Yishui, it is Longmen Mountain. Zheng Yanqing stopped suddenly, looked at a team of carriages and horses coming from the mountains in front of him, and motioned for Mao Wang to give way on the side of the road. Looking at the posture of the carriage and horses, it should be an official eunuch. Directly ahead, two teams of armored knights opened the way, and there were several large carts in the center. And the horses that pulled the vehicles were all superb.
Zheng Yanqing doesn't understand horses, but from the appearance of horses, it can be seen that this is not an ordinary horse.
Anyuantang started with military exploits, and also raised a lot of BMW horses. I vaguely feel that these horses pulling carts are almost comparable to those BMW horses in Anyuantang. Who is this? It's so extravagant? Yan Qing couldn't help but be a little curious.
On the carriage, there was a tiger's head golden shield, and a flag was inserted on the wheel, and the word "eldest grandson" was written in the book.
"Old Mao, which powerful family is this?"
Mao Wang has lived in Luoyang for generations and knows something about the magnates in Luoyang.
"Young Master Zheng, that's the chariot battle of the eldest grandson."
"General Eldest Sun?" Zheng Yanqing was stunned, and immediately reacted, this Changsun General, I am afraid that he is referring to the Shangkai Mansion Yi and the Third Division, the general of Zuo Xunwei, Changsun Sheng.
In the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Changsun Sheng was definitely an indispensable figure.
Yang Jian commented: The eldest grandson Lang's martial arts are suitable for his words, and there are many strange strategies. The famous general of the future, isn't this evil? 1”
In fact, in the war against the Turks during the Kaihuang period, Changsun Sheng repeatedly performed miraculous feats.
The later idiom 'killing two birds with one stone' also came from Changsun Sheng. But what made Changsun Sheng known to future generations were his children. The daughter of Changsun Sheng is Li Shimin's empress Changsun Empress; And his youngest son, that is, the famous minister of the early Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji.
Zheng Yanqing was stunned!
However, he was not shocked by Changsun Sheng's reputation, but remembered a long-dusted past. I remember that when he was first born in this era, he was suffering from a catastrophe. The person who carried out that killing was named Ning Changzhen.
Yan Qing also inquired about Ning Changzhen's origin.
This man was a slang man, and his father was the leader of a slang tribe named Ning Mengli. Ning Changzhen is the son of Ning Mengli, in the late years of the emperor, his father went to Chang'an to meet Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, and now Yang Jian is named the assassin of Qinzhou.
Where is Qinzhou?
Zheng Yanqing didn't know.
I just heard Zheng Shi'an vaguely mention that it was a place in the Lingnan region, which belonged to the wild area. The local slang people are still born from tribes, and the leaders of the tribes are called slang shuai. In this way, Yan Qing determined Ning Chang's true origin.
When Ning Changzhen was chasing and killing his uncle Yanhu, he mentioned a 'eldest grandson'.
Could it be that the eldest grandson is the eldest grandson?
If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the relationship between Yanhu and Changsun Sheng is good. Who are his parents?
"Young Master Zheng, let's cross the river."
Mao Wang couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Zheng Yanqing didn't speak.
The eldest grandson's car battle has gone away......
But for some reason, the chariot was far away, and even Yaxing, who took Zheng Yanqing to visit Longmen Mountain, was also taken away.
"Lao Mao, let's go to Longmen Mountain another day, I suddenly don't want to go...... Let's go back. ”
"Okay, when Young Master Zheng is interested, let's go again when we want."
Mao Wang couldn't understand Zheng Yanqing's complicated mood at the moment, smiled innocently, led the donkey, and embarked on the way back.
Before he entered the grange, he saw Mao Xiaoba running over from a distance.
"Daddy, something is wrong!"
Mao Wang was stunned, "Xiaoba, what's wrong?" ”
"Just now, more than a dozen old soldiers in the village took everyone to Luoyang.
I heard that the people on the other side of Tianjin Bridge also went, as if to say, the eldest prince is here, and they are going to reason with the eldest prince. ”
Zheng Renji arrived in Luoyang?
When Yan Qing heard this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart: This time, the show is about to start!
