Chapter 5 Uncle Ding Yuan
Taishan County, named after Mount Tai in the county, was established in the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.
There is Nancheng County, which is the hometown of Confucius's disciple Zengzi, and the people in the county are fierce, and they have not been influenced much because they are close to the birthplace of Confucianism.
But it is said that there is Ding Yuan in the county, and the word Jianyang. This person came from a poor and humble background and did not read much, but he had the talent to be an official when he was young. Later, he was a southern county official, and when there were thieves and criminals, they would take the lead and rush out to chase them.
In recent years, due to the increasing severity of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, many peasants have abandoned their land and become bandits, and banditry has become increasingly common.
The people in the county were rampant with banditry, and remembered Ding Jianyang in the past, so he scraped together enough funds to hand over to the imperial court and let him become the county lieutenant.
August 15 is the day of the Confucian Temple to pay tribute to Confucius, Ding Yuan, as the lieutenant of Nancheng County, escorted the wealthy families in the county to watch the ceremony.
Who knew that when he arrived at the destination, Kong Rong of the Kong family stopped him and asked him if he had a sister to marry into the Zhending Zhao family.
Previously, Zhao Yun had said in public, "My uncle Nancheng Ding Jianyang", although he was the son of his sister's family, Ding Yuan also readily agreed, thinking that he was also a scholar, and the Kong family was courteous.
I never thought that since then, my colleagues in Taishan County have been crowded out in many ways, which makes people puzzled.
When I first arrived at the county office on this day, I found that the eyes that looked at me were very different from the past.
Ding Yuan didn't care, as long as there were still bandits raging, Nancheng County couldn't do without himself as a county lieutenant for the time being.
Before the buttocks sat down, the county ordered Wang Qian to worship.
Speaking of this person, Ding Yuan has mixed feelings in his heart, people from other counties ridicule me, exclude me, you and I are officials in Nancheng together, what do you mean by coaxing?
I don't see it, anyway, the county lieutenant is enough to be equal to the county order in a county, but Wang Qian has already entered the county lieutenant's yamen.
"Brother Jianyang, congratulations!" Wang Xianling's gloomy face a few days ago was very different from today. Full of warmth.
Where does the joy come from? Ding Yuan wondered in his heart, and hugged his fists in return: "Rejoice and rejoice!" ”
A few days ago, a relatively large group of bandits in the county was exterminated, could it be that the imperial court actually rewarded him for this matter?
"Dare to ask when Brother Jianyang will take office?" Wang Qian didn't think about how awkward he was, seeing that according to the instructions of the Kong family, he was also trying his best to be sarcastic, but the news of this person's promotion came.
"Coming ???" Ding Yuan suddenly came to his senses and asked in surprise: "Brother Zhiqian, you and I are colleagues, why bother to be a child?" ”
In his opinion, it must be the county order and others working together. Let yourself rise and fall in the dark, and go to any idle position in the county town.
"Why did Brother Jianyang say this?" Since Wang Qian's arrival, the two have been peaceful.
It was also reported in Taishan County that the Kong family was dissatisfied with the Zhending Zhao family, and the Ding family was the in-law of the Zhao family, so they were naturally suppressed in Taishan.
People are playing chess, get through the upper level, don't play with you here, and go straight up.
"My sister Zhao Ding, although I am not close to my original ancestor." Ding Yuan held back his anger: "Yes." When he was not married, he was my Ding family, Zhao Meng, and my Ding family's son-in-law! ”
"I don't know what Mr. Kong Wenju and my brother-in-law have in their hearts. But I'm not afraid! If Brother Zhiqian has nothing else to do, he will handle official business, and he will not be accompanied! ”
"Brother Jianyang, don't you know?" Wang Qian realized that he had put on a big oolong: "The official letter is sent to our county." said that his brother was brave and strategic, and the court promoted his brother to the history of the state assassin. ”
And state? History of thorns? Ding Yuan stood in front of the case in a daze, and the Ding family has been taken care of by the county lieutenant in recent years. The family situation is getting better and better.
When the head of the family heard what happened to him in the county, he said that he would scrape together money to go to the imperial court to make a living, and simply change his position.
But this is only in the negotiation stage, and it has not yet been implemented, so why has there been such a big change all of a sudden?
Yes, the Zhao family is really determined, only the Zhao family will give themselves strength, and a few million dollars are just a drop in the bucket for the Zhao family.
At that moment, the county official in the county lieutenant handed over the documents to Ding Yuan, and let him see that it was indeed his own order, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
When I arrived at Zhending, I realized that the three brothers were married together, but although Ding Yuan had been a county lieutenant all these years, he didn't have much money to spare, so he was embarrassed to come to the door to give gifts.
It wasn't until September 11 that he expected the Zhao family to gradually disperse, so he moved out of a somewhat dilapidated hotel and went to Zhao's house.
Menzi heard that it was Mrs. Ding's brother, so he rushed to report the news.
Zhao Meng learned that he hurriedly opened the middle door to greet him, and he did not neglect his brother-in-law in the slightest because he was quite shabby.
"Big brother, why didn't you come on your nephew's big day the day before yesterday?" Zhao Ding's couldn't stop complaining as soon as they met.
As for Zhao Meng, the head of the family, he didn't know what to say, the two had never met, and it was a coincidence that he married Ding.
Here Ding Yuan saw Zhao Yu and Zhao Zhu, two children with pink makeup and jade, and he panicked for a while, and he didn't bring gifts to his nephew and niece.
At this time, it happened that Zhao Yun came back from Yanzhao Academy and took the two daughters-in-law to his parents' place for dinner.
He felt that he was going to Beijing next year, and since he was awarded the title of Doctor of Hongdu Menxue, it was impossible for him to stay in Zhending all the time.
I don't know when I will see my parents again, so as long as I have time, I will come to them.
Hearing that Ding Yuan was coming, he rushed to Ding's courtyard, and when he saw it, he saluted: "Yun has seen my uncle, and Uncle He has been promoted." ”
At this moment, if Ding Yuan still didn't understand what was going on, then he would have been an official for so many years.
"Thank you Zilong, please get up quickly." He stood up and stopped Zhao Yun from bowing down.
Zhao Meng and Ding stared wide-eyed, not understanding what was going on.
"Yun'er, what is your uncle's ascension? Come on with Erniang! Zhao Ding couldn't help but ask.
"It's no wonder that Yun didn't discuss it with the second elder," Zhao Yun scratched his head embarrassedly: "Seeing that my uncle is brave, although there are a few thieves in the land of Nancheng, there is no need to worry, and my uncle will only be useful when he goes to the frontier." ”
"So Yun went to Xin Zhongbo and asked him to find an important place in the northern state and county for his uncle to serve. When the history of the Bingzhou Assassin died of wounds in the battle between the Southern Xiongnu King and the Xianbei people the year before last, he was expelled from the country, and his uncle could be in this position. ”
He didn't know when and who appreciated Ding Yuan in history to be the assassin.
Looking at what he is wearing, he doesn't look like a rich man at all, so naturally he has no money to buy officials, which makes people a little unpredictable.
and the state wolf ride, Zhao Yun didn't want to give up at all, and pushed Ding Yuan to take office early.
I believe that there is his own point of reference, Lu Bu and his ilk are not worried, they are just a brave man, let him charge when they fight, and they will be put on the shelf in peacetime.
The official level crushed people to death, and I believe that even if a thorn history is not too prominent, in the land of the state, it is enough for the martial artists to serve.
Ding Yuan was tired of life in Nancheng, those bandits were his neighbors on weekdays, and when the year was bad and the government paid heavy taxes, he had to become bandits.
I went to Zhending, just to thank you, and I was in a hurry to take office.
For him, the form of the state is already very dangerous, and how to deal with the relationship between the Han court and the Southern Xiongnu is a big test. (To be continued.) )
PS: When I went to work, I was worried about the novel, and I finished a chapter hastily. It's hard to have no manuscript, please forgive me, this chapter is not satisfactory. After writing it, I found that it was impossible to schedule it until nine o'clock, and there was no twenty-minute interval at all, so send it out in advance.
