Chapter 39: Doctor Taizhong
To the south of Chang'an, the capital division is an endless grassland, there is a horse farm set up by the Son of Heaven, and it is a good place for Chang'an nobles to hunt, and a horse team composed of more than 120 people gallops and whizzes past.
There are more than a dozen Huns in the team, whistle from time to time to look up at the sky a few eagles, the Huns have always hunted with falcons as guides, now included in the eagle will continue to chirp and circle as a warning.
More than 120 people whistled and divided into three teams, blocking in the middle, outflanking left and right into the dense forest, and soon the birds and beasts in the forest fled in panic, and the prey was driven by the knights to the open pasture.
The skill of hunting lies in the circumference, driving the prey to the predetermined hunting ground, which can not only improve the efficiency of hunting, but also has a strong military training significance, the Huns have the same system as the Han family, and replace military training with hunting in summer and autumn every year, and hunting is similar to the simulation training of roundabout outflanking.
Hundreds of hares, goats, sika deer, wild boars were driven out of the jungle habitat by the horse team, the Hun guards excitedly took out the war bow and galloped their horses, and the arrows fell into the prey group like rain, and the Han guards were not to be outdone to drive the horses to shoot fast, and the prey in the middle of the small grassland ran in panic, no matter which direction they fled to, they would be blocked back by the rain of arrows.
Cao Shi's riding skills are not at home, and he can barely make a show of riding and shooting, and he doesn't have to think about it if he wants to stabilize his head with a hard bow with one stone and two buckets, so he still sits on the back of the horse honestly, aiming at the largest wild boar with an arrow off the string, and the wild boar falls down a hundred steps away.
Wei Qing, who was following him, had a particularly good look in his eyes and shouted: "The prince hunted a wild boar!" ”
The guards cheered and the arrows suddenly became dense, Cao Shi did not hurry to bend the bow and shoot, almost every arrow will take the life of a prey, he is very confident in his hit rate within a hundred steps, Wei Qing eagerly pulled out the small hunting bow to shoot, but the small bow and arrow were too slow at the beginning, he could only stare at the knights looked down on the old, weak, sick and disabled to practice.
Hunting twice in the morning, the hunted booty was transported to the flatbed wagon, at noon a fire was built at the edge of the pasture, and military cooking utensils and spices were taken out to cook food, and the guards who were full of wine and food stepped out of the haystack to rest, and in late August, when the weather turned cool, the grass and trees and leaves withered yellow, Cao Shi sat on the haystack and took the grass leaves and blew a nice tune.
Wei Qing stared at Cao Shi's one stone and two buckets of the bow, Cao Shi took off the bow and threw it to him, the child happily took the big bow and pulled the bowstring, but he was not convinced and pulled hard but there was no movement, Wei Qing pulled the bowstring with a little effort, and returned the gong with a sad face.
Cao Shi took the big bow with a smile, held the bow in his left hand and buckled the string with his right hand, and easily pulled a beautiful arc, and the little boy's eyes lit up with envy.
"Like it?"
"I like it."
"Take it if you like."
Wei Qing nodded, and shook his head again: "The prince and the prince, the slave and the maid can't ask for it." ”
"Don't be afraid, take the sentence I gave you."
Wei Qing timidly bowed down: "Sister knows that she will kill Ah Qing." ”
"I'll talk to your sister there."
The little boy hesitated for a while and didn't pick it up, leaned over and said: "There are too many things that the prince gives to the slave and maid, and my sister teaches me every time I can't covet the reward of the prince, and my sister often says that you must be a man, and you must know how to restrain your own **, and it is a shameful act to covet the reward in your heart, and the slave and maid covet the bow of the prince in their hearts, so they can't accept the gift of the prince." ”
Wei Qing really didn't look at Da Gong anymore, if it weren't for his thin body and immature face, it would make people mistakenly think that this was an old-fashioned middle-aged man talking.
Cao Shi nodded thoughtfully: "Did the son-in-law teach you?" ”
"Does the prince also know? My sister often said that the prince treated our Wei family too well, and the Wei family should cherish the grace of the prince and not forget it. "Wei Qing is very happy when she mentions her sister Wei Zifu, the eldest sister Wei Junru works for the family all day long like her mother more than her sister, and the second sister Wei Shao'er likes Huo Jialangjun and rarely disciplines him, only Wei Zifu is the same age as her, and she has the best relationship since childhood.
Recalling the beautiful girl who looked like a porcelain doll, Cao Shi sighed in his heart: "Wei Zifu is worthy of being a virtuous queen through the ages, and he knows how to educate his younger brother at a young age. ”
Weiyang Palace is a very large palace complex, occupying almost a quarter of the area of Chang'an.
Cao Shici stepped into Weiyang Palace as a doctor in Taizhong, and met with his boss Lang Zhongling Xu He according to the custom, this Lang Zhongling is a little-known representative of the country, who served as a Lang official during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and worked hard in the low-level officials for more than ten years to be promoted to the county guard, and it took more than ten years to become the honor of becoming Jiuqing.
Although it is the Lang Zhongling of Jiuqing, he still takes the initiative to lower his posture when he sees the ceremony, and it is still unknown how many years Jiuqing can be at his age, and he can't commit Cao Shi, who is the son of heaven and son-in-law, and Cao Shi, who is the son of heaven and the prince, told him openly and secretly to pay attention to the necessary taboos in the palace and not to make trouble, and he will not ask more about other trivial matters.
There are many colleagues in Lang Zhongling's mansion, and many children of the Liehou have been met in it, and the most surprising thing is that the prince's uncle Tian Wei is also among them, Tian Wei has been in Lang Wei for more than ten years, and has been promoted from Lang Guan all the way to the middle doctor with a rank of 2,000 stones, and is an important assistant to Lang Zhongling in the Lang Wei system.
Tian Wei saw that he was very enthusiastic, and dragged Cao Shi for a while, not treating himself as an outsider at all, even as an elder, he could put down the shelf and say beautiful things, and in a few words, he praised the Pingyang Hou Mansion as the first in the world, and specially picked Cao Shi's most proud thing to say, even people who don't like to pat horses and welcome will smile when they hear it.
After seeing his colleagues, Cao Shi went to see Lang Wei to select his subordinate officials, the young and old ones lined up in more than a dozen rows to salute him, the Lang officials in the first few rows were dressed brightly and had a good temperament, and the discerning people knew that their family background was extraordinary, and the old or low-born Lang officials were squeezed into the corners, and hung their heads with a look of bitterness and annoyance.
There are hundreds of names in the list, and the first few of the sons of the Liehou family were directly skipped by him from their grandsons, and it was not much use to choose these uncles who were not successful enough to fail, in addition to some distant relatives of the princes' royal families, and the waste wood such as the remote houses of the Dou family and the Wang family were also swept away.
Excluding these people, the person at the front of the queue is named Kong Anguo, and the words of the Kong family are marked at the back.
"Good guy, even the Kong family is on the list, these heroes are not small." Cao Shi frowned secretly.
According to the supremacy of the Han system of the Son of Heaven, the princes and kings are second, and the princes are again, from the Guannei Marquis to the twenty levels of military merit lords are lined up in turn, almost concentrated in Guanzhong and the hinterland of Sanhe, and there are very few scattered military merit lords in the six countries of Kanto, for example, the Confucian family lineage does not belong to the military merit lords, and there is only one five major doctors who are smashed out with money, which is just the limit of the people's lords, and it can't be promoted if you throw money on it.
It is very difficult to enter the strict system of military merit system as an official, and it is not even possible to buy farmland and legally occupy the land without the identity of the military meritorious, so the Confucian family, who has always been high and self-conscious, must also put down their figures, and take a multi-pronged approach to win the status of a Lang official close to the Son of Heaven, if the Confucian family is a high-ranking official with 2,000 stones, maybe they can occupy thousands of hectares of fertile land.
This is the authentic Haoqiang, and it is a veteran Haoqiang with a special identity and strong strength.
Cao Shi suddenly shouted: "Who is Zhang Qian, stand up!" ”
A young man in his twenties walked out of the queue, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he arched his hand excitedly: "Humble is Zhang Qian." ”
"Zhonglang Zhang Qian, proficient in Xiongnu and Baiyue Barbarian, the record says that you are exquisite and can speak well,"
"Exactly." Zhang Qian suddenly shouted a few times, it didn't sound like a Han language, there were a lot of tremolos in a hurry and fast, and a few well-informed people shouted: "Xiongnu language!" ”
ps: It doesn't matter if Zhang Qian knows the Xiongnu language, please don't get too entangled in the party, mainly to highlight his language talent, ask for collections, ask for recommendations, please use the recommendation votes in your hands to smash Wumei!
