Chapter VIII: Temporary Lifting of the Ban
This person really can't talk about it, and it is easy to cause some problems when he thinks about it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A few days ago, I just talked about the fact that the Duan family of Fan Guogong killed a snitch and was fined fifty pounds of copper, but who knew that people would come to the door today.
The person who came naturally would not be Duan Zhixuan, the Duke of Fan, who was now the head of the Xihaidao march, and was fighting with the Tuyuhun people on the edge of Qinghai Lake.
It was his eldest son Duan Zan who came, which was already enough to give the eldest grandson face.
This time, I came in strict accordance with the etiquette procedures for visiting. First, I posted a prayer post, made an appointment, and then came to the door. I have the impression that this is the first time that the eldest grandson has enjoyed such an honor.
"I've seen the eldest grandson." The people who came were headed by Duan Zhan.
"Little grandpa doesn't have to be like this, please sit down, please sit down." said that it didn't have to be like this, but he stopped knowing that Duan Zan had almost done a set of etiquette.
"This time, Duan Mou was presumptuous, I didn't know each other before...... "This surnamed Duan is not a straw bag, knowing that this eldest grandson is not very kind to him, he is ready to say it directly, but he ran into such a second goods as eldest grandson, and directly interrupted his words.
"It doesn't have to be this way, it doesn't have to be this way. Xiaocui quickly serve tea, serve good tea. "The eldest grandson doesn't know what medicine is sold in this gourd, but he must have something for himself, so he can't let you say it easily.
I know you have something, but I'll see when you tell me about it, so that you can reap the most benefits, but not friendship.
"Master Hou, this is the ordnance supervisor." Duan Zan naturally understood what Changsun Tang meant, but now he has to ask for help, so he has to follow Changsun Tang's meaning.
"Xiaguan Hou Xian, the current military commander, has seen Hou Ye." The person who came was very humble, there was no way not to be humble, there was too much difference between the eight-rank official and the fourth-grade official.
"You're welcome." Changsun Tang didn't even look at it, and sometimes, if he promised too much, he would be in big trouble, and Changsun Tang had suffered such losses many times.
"I came here this time, but I have something to trouble Master Hou." Duan Zan spoke, this Hou Xian is a supporting role, he belongs to professional and technical personnel, and he will speak when needed.
"It's easy to say, the little grandfather is probably hungry this time, why don't we eat first?" The eldest grandson still didn't answer positively.
"Well, let's get to the bottom of things first." Duan Zan is from a military family, and his temperament is inevitably a little rougher.
"But the little grandfather thinks that the food in my house is not to the taste, or is there something else?" The eldest grandson gently tasted the tea and said slowly.
"This Hou Ye's Wangjiang Tower is a must in the world, this meal must be good, but there is something important to come today." Duan Zhan is in a hurry.
"Oh, there's no rush to do that." The eldest grandson still looks like he is underbeaten.
"Master Hou, I really don't dare to agree with Hou Xian's words. This period of the grandfather fought bloodily with Tuyuhun in Xikaido, because of the miasma, and injured a lot of soldiers, and basically the soldiers used their lives to kill the enemy after they had no strength to pursue, so although there were many victories and few defeats, but the victories were all small victories, and the consequences of defeat were unpredictable. The lower officials really didn't dare to use their lives on the front line, but they were mediocre in the rear. "This ordnance supervisor should be regarded as a wholly state-owned military industrial enterprise, and this Hou Xian should also be a technician, but this temper is completely devoid of those habits above the officialdom.
"Where do you start?" The eldest grandson was a little moved.
We don't have to be on the battlefield, but we should have a basic respect for the soldiers who fought bloody battles to defend us at the front.
"This Hou Lingjian has such a temper, I apologized for him like Hou Ye." Duan Zan was a little anxious, he felt that bringing Hou Xian over today was really not enough to accomplish and more than to lose.
"It's okay, Hou Lingjian is dedicated to the country, but he is a model for my generation."
"This ......" Hou Xian was a little unsure of what Changsun Tang meant, and said praise him, this is impossible, let's say sarcasm, and the tone is not like it.
"I just got off the official abruptly, and I ask Hou Ye to forgive me, but the pressure on the ordnance supervisor in recent times is really not light, so I was a little reckless just now, and I also ask Hou Ye Haihan." Hou Xian regretted it a little, he came to the door today to ask for others, and it was really impossible to point at other people's noses and scold and expect others to help him solve the problem. What I just said was cool, but the words I said were like spilled water, and it was difficult to take them back.
There is really no way to do this period of Zhan, his father is charging in front, and these little things can't be solved by himself, which is really not a son of man.
"Actually, I can basically guess what you mean, but it's really powerless." Changsun Yu said.
"Eldest grandson, please think of a way again, I really don't know what to do, my father has always reported good news and not bad news, but this time he actually said that the war in Xikaidao was too tragic, let me think of a way in Chang'an City to see if there is anything better to pay attention to." Duan Zan had already brought a crying voice.
As the son of the Duan family, although he will inherit the title in the future, the Duan family cannot lie on the merit book and wait for death, Duan Zan has also followed his father to the battlefield and soaked in blood.
I remember that when I was fighting Wang Shichong, I was covered by more than ten arrows, and even if I persevered to the end, my father still walked off the battlefield with a smile, which shows the difficulty of this expedition against Tuyuhun.
"I understand what you mean, but I'm still grounded, so it's really inconvenient for me to come forward." Of course, it is impossible for this weapon modification to be placed outside the weapons prison, let alone a long-range weapon like the one Duan Zhixuan needs.
"You're saying it's not us who are in trouble today, it's the lockdown?" Duan Zan knew about this grounding order, although the inside story was not very clear, but he could roughly guess one or two.
"Xia Guan thanked Hou Ye for his great kindness, Hou Ye is magnanimous and is the talent of my Tang Dynasty pillars." To be honest, Hou Xian's sycophancy skills are too bad, but it is not easy for these technical people to hold back these few sentences.
"Don't be busy thanking you first, I really can't do anything if this matter is not solved." Changsun Yu said.
"Master Hou doesn't have to worry, I'll try this." Duan Zan said.
After saying this, he took his leave. Is it true that all the people in the army are so virtuous? The eldest grandson muttered to himself.
Duan Zhan has been gone for a few days, and the eldest grandson is really a little anxious to wait, didn't you say that the war in the Western Sea is tight? Why is it so slow?
Just in the mood of the eldest grandson's anticipation, on the fifth day, Duan Zhan finally came again, bringing a codex.
The codex was not an order from the emperor, but was written by Fang Xuanling, who stayed behind.
The words are very tactful and sincere, and he explained some things to Changsun Tang, and the opinion on this treatment is that Changsun Tang can go to the Ordnance Supervision to help improve the manufacturing of weapons, but his whereabouts are as secret as possible, and the time is three months, and he needs to resubmit things when it expires.
In this way, Changsun Tang finally appeared in Chang'an, the largest city at present. (To be continued.) )
