Chapter 6: The Khan of Yinshan

(of.) (of.) Chapter 6 "Yin" Mountain Khan

The magistrates of the Great Sui Dynasty have two sets of teams, one is appointed by the imperial court officials, mainly the chief officials, like the state officials, that is, the assassin history, Sima, Changshi, and the record of the military waiting, and the county is the county order, the county Cheng and the county lieutenant, these main officials are appointed by the court officials, and many of the subordinate county officials are set up by the county order.

But even if it is set up by itself, it is basically recommended by the local famous clan for the county order to envelop the local noble clan's name, and Yang Yuanqing said that the public examination recruitment, Du Ru has never heard of it, and he was a little stunned.

"General Yang, there's something wrong with this!" He hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

"There seems to be no precedent for recruiting officials in this exam, and if the officials know about it, there may be complaints."

Yang Yuanqing can understand Du Ruhui's worries, he has been working in the Ministry of Officials, hundreds of years of Jiupin Zhongzheng has been ingrained in his mind, he can't understand the meaning of the public examination, Yang Yuanqing doesn't want to force him to accept, and he doesn't want to shock the world, if it is in the mainland, he doesn't want to do this, so the first thing to offend is the local clan.

But the city of Great Lee, it can.

"I understand Du Xiancheng's concerns, but Dali County is a newly established county, built out of thin air, almost all the county residents are immigrants, there are no local celebrities, and no one will recommend it to us, if you don't take the exam, how do you know that Zhang San is capable and Li Si is erudite, and you can't come to a person who says he wants to be the master bookkeeper, so I'll let him be! There is always a scale, the officials' side, I think they can also understand, besides, I am going to "draw" the government from the army, in fact, it is an adjutant such as the sixth Cao master, at most a dozen people. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yuanqing's eyes showed a meaningful smile, "And if you recruit county officials by public examination, the saint will also be very happy." ”

Du Ruhui himself is also a pragmatic and capable person, but he can't change some deep-rooted concepts for a while, and he understands Yang Yuanqing's words.

"I understand, I support the idea of the general, and recruit county officials by public examination."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I will transfer a few from the army to assist you, and you will be solely responsible for this matter." ”

"I'm in charge?"

Du Ruhui was really stunned at this time, this is the power of the county magistrate, he actually "handed over" to himself, he felt a little dizzy, but as soon as he thought about it, he understood, Yang Yuanqing is only a part-time county commander, he is a town general, and more importantly, a military position, he has no time and "fine" to manage so many trivial things, it is estimated that most of the miscellaneous affairs in this county will be "handed over" to himself.

As soon as he thought of this, Du Ruhui suddenly cheered up, he was a little depressed about being assigned to the bitter cold land of the frontier, and then he suddenly found that everything in Dali County started from a blank, and he could completely govern this new county according to his own knowledge and ideas, and realize the ambition in his "chest", where to find this opportunity?

He immediately gave a deep salute to Yang Yuanqing, which was also the first time he saluted Yang Yuanqing, "The subordinates will definitely live up to the general's love and do their best to govern Dali County,"

.......

At this time, the sky was gradually getting to dusk, Yang Yuanqing was tired all the way, and he wanted to go back to rest, and at the same time, he couldn't rest assured, so he asked Yang Sien to arrange the food and lodging of several officials, and he went back to Houfu first.

His new house covers an area of about four acres, and the main "gate" is open on Gyeongju Street, it is a completely newly renovated house, and there is not even a single tree, and this is also the reason why Yang Yuanqing is very uncomfortable, that is, there is not a single tree in the city, and it is bare and invisible, only the house and the dirt street, and the boulder mountain behind it is also not grassy, but there is a large forest a few miles away.

Walking into the house, I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old lady walking up, wearing a green skirt, combing double-ringed sideburns, and clear eyebrows. ”

It's a son and a master, but her speech is clear, Yang Yuanqing looked at her and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm the master's maid, and my name is Green Tea."

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, how could he have a maid? Who arranged it for him.

"Where are you from, and who put you here?"

"Back to my lord, I am from Yanzhou, and it was Mrs. Fang who bought me and arranged me here."

Speaking of this, the little maid became a little nervous, and her voice became timid, she was afraid that Yang Yuanqing would not want her and send her back.

"Sir, I'm eleven years old this year, I'm just a little shorter, I'm very capable." She was timid.

Yang Yuanqing already knew that Mrs. Fang was Yang Sien's wife, this was arranged for him by Yang Sien's husband, in fact, he didn't like maids, he didn't like to be served by others, he liked to live freely since he was a child, and when he was in the capital, he refused the maid arranged for him by Yang Fu, but he also knew in his heart that he was now the head of a county and a military town, including him and his subordinates gradually stabilized, and he had to gradually adapt to another life.

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "You just stay!" Also, don't call me sir, just call me son. ”

Green Tea was overjoyed in her heart, she hurriedly took out a note and handed it to Yang Yuanqing, "This is from the girl to the son." ”

Yang Yuanqing felt a little strange in his heart, what did Niuniu do with her note? He opened the note, only to see a sentence written on it, 'From today onwards, stop calling me Niu Niu and calling me out of the dust.' ’

Yang Yuanqing laughed, today Liu Jian and Fat Fish Niu Niu called her long and short, which made her a little unhappy.

"How's the girl doing?"

"The girl's head is a little hot, and she has already drunk a bowl of ginger soup and slept, is Childe going to see her?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Let her sleep!" I'm also a little tired. ”

He pulled his body for a long time and walked towards the inner house, and Green Tea followed behind and smiled: "Childe, I will make Hu Cakes, let me make you a few Hu Cakes!" ”

"Good! Go buy me another pot of wine and buy two side dishes by the way. ”

.........

On a grassland with abundant pasture at the southern foot of "Yin" Mountain, there are endless tents, there are tens of thousands of large and small, here is the tooth tent of Xue Yantuo Khan's Yi lost bowl, in the middle of all the tents, there is a huge sheep "hair" dome tent, next to the big tent, a high flagpole hangs the golden wolf's head flag, this is the king flag of Xue Yantuo Khan, this big tent is also the king's tent of the Khan.

Xue Yantuo Khan Yi lost the bowl this year about forty years old, tall, extremely strong, he was originally the leader of the Xue tribe, since the age of twenty he led the soldiers of the headquarters to continue to invade the Yantuo tribe, and gradually annexed it, and finally formed the most powerful Xue Yantuo tribe in Tiele, the tribe has more than 500,000 people, with more than 100,000 armor soldiers.

This time there was a snow disaster in Jinshan, Yi lost bowl was forced to lead the tribe to move south, Yi lost bowl also knew that the south of the "Yin" mountain was the sphere of influence of the Sui Dynasty, but the Sui Dynasty did not actually control the south of the "Yin" mountain, their actual control line was on the line of the North Yellow River, Yi lost the bowl took advantage of this loophole, moved the tribe south to the south of the "Yin" mountain, and at the same time he sent someone to inform the Sui army Fengzhou governor Yu Juluo, they were just temporarily staying for a winter, after the "spring", they will return to Jinshan.

Although Yi lost the bowl carefully controlled the tribe and did not disturb the Sui realm, he did not be able to control his youngest son, and Thorn Duo continued to lead the tribe to attack Fengzhou, burning, killing and looting, which made him angry and annoyed, but there was nothing he could do, and he had no other way than to apologize to Yujuluo.

But he never thought that in this cold winter, he would hear the death of his most beloved youngest son, and at this moment, his heart was about to break.

He knelt in front of his son's bow and arrow, he had been kneeling for two hours, as if he had become a statue, he was in his forties and could not bear the blow of losing his son in his old age, his heart suddenly aged ten years old, and death was already beckoning to him.

Behind him, at the entrance of the big tent, there stood a young man as tall as him, full of fierce spirit, this was his eldest son Yinan, and the successor to the throne of Xue Yantuo Khan.

Yi Nan has been standing behind his father for half an hour, he is waiting for his father to recover from his grief, on the grassland, the loss of his son, the loss of his husband and father are too many things, this kind of thing is already commonplace, for Yi Nan, the death of his brother Thorn Duo has not touched his grief, on the contrary, there is more or less a kind of relief joy in his heart, although Thorn Duo is his own brother, but at the same time Thorn Duo is also the person he hates the most, not only to compete with him for the position of Khan's successor, three years ago, Thorn Duo killed his son after drinking, snatched his most beloved "female" person, and he has not avenged this revenge so far.

Thorn Duo was dead, and hatred was dissolved in his heart.

"Father Khan, I'll go to Dali City and get the body of Thorn Duo back!"

"He killed my two sons!" B lost the bowl and whispered to himself.

"Father Khan, we can't offend the Sui Dynasty, the Western Turks have been suspicious of us, and the Eastern Turks are eyeing us, and there are Qibi and us competing for the lord of Tiele, if we offend the Sui Dynasty again, we will be in a disadvantageous situation of being attacked on all sides."

"He killed my two sons!" As if he hadn't heard anything, he was still talking to himself.

"Father Khan, he died in the Sui realm of Fengzhou, you should first think about how to 'deliver' to the Sui Dynasty!" Yi Nan's tone became stern.

Otoshi was silent, as if he had fallen into an endless darkness, unable to find a way back.

"Yang Yuanqing, you killed my two sons!" Oto's face suddenly became hideous, and his tone became extremely fierce, as if he had been possessed by a demon in the dark.

Yi Nan shook his head, turned around and walked out of his father's royal tent, looking at the faint heat of the sunset on the western horizon, he let out a long sigh of worry, Thorn Duo's death was self-inflicted, but his father seemed to have lost his mind for him, which was a very unwise omen,

At this time, Datou Khan had just died, and the grassland was at its most complicated and volatile moment, and it was wise to maintain friendship and gain support from the Sui Dynasty, and his father seemed to have been carried away by hatred, which made Yi Nan's heart very depressed.

At this moment, Yi Lost Bowl walked out of the big tent, the hideousness on his face was no longer there, and his expression became very calm, "I want to go to Dali City in person to return the corpse of Thorn Duo." ”
