Chapter Twenty-Six: Fun
When Xue Chongxun's old Longyou army arrived in Chang'an, it was already mid-October, and Zhang Wulang, Yu Wenxiao and others returned all the way back after joining the Shence army led by Yin Ci. These people nominally did not belong to Xue Chongxun's personal officials and guards, and they were still directly subordinate to the imperial court. The title of the king of Hedong is a two-character county king, and his rank is lower than that of a one-character prince, and it is impossible for Xue Chongxun to have so many officials and troops in name; However, the courtiers knew in their hearts that they were actually all Xue Chongxun's descendants.
Zhang Wulang and other generals had stayed in the Xuanwu Gate of Miyagi for a long time before, and they had many good acquaintances in the forbidden army. Xue Chongxun also took off his official robe and wore a sackcloth to greet him, so that he could use the excuse of being a friend.
Xue Chongxun waited for more than 4,000 people from afar at the end of the long pavilion, only to see a piece of black clothes on the road. When the Shence Army was first established, it was nicknamed "Shroud Army" because of the color of its uniform, and its appearance was so black. They drove more than 1,000 miles, and there were all kinds of mules and horses mixed in it, and it looked naturally messy. The army camped for the march, not only with weapons, but also tents, pots and pans, wood knives, hammers and other things, a fire of ten people in addition to the war horses generally have six donkeys or mules and camels, after a long march is naturally not very beautiful, just like a group of migrating herdsmen.
Xue Chongxun, who was wearing a sackcloth robe, stood at the front and looked at it from afar. At this time, Zhang Wulang and several other generals and officials rode out of the team, added a few whips, and rushed straight to Xue Chongxun's side.
Several people walked to him, got down from their horses and saluted Xue Chongxun and the generals behind him, and said some polite words. Xue Chongxun's etiquette was very simple and casual, and he didn't say anything about the hard work of the journey, but smiled at Zhang Wulang: "I received a letter from Wulang a month ago, and I learned that you have married in Shanzhou, have you come back with your daughter-in-law?" β
Zhang Wulang saw that the king of the county and many generals of the forbidden army went out of the city to greet him with such face, and he was a little flattered and nervous at first, but he was a lot more comfortable when he heard Xue Chongxun's words, and immediately replied: "She is pregnant, and she is afraid that she will have fetal gas on the road, so she will have to wait until next year to live in Chang'an." β
At this time, Xue Chongxun remembered that Zhang Wulang's daughter-in-law Cai was pregnant before she got married, otherwise they wouldn't be in a hurry to get married so early, and they didn't even see Zhang Wulang's mother in his hometown. However, only Xue Chongxun knows about this matter, and he naturally won't say anything about other people's family names.
Xue Chongxun groaned: "When the time comes, we will have to set up a house in the long-term settlement." β
Zhang Wulang hurriedly said: "My father-in-law has entrusted someone to buy a mansion in Chang'an. β
Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "A rich man is good!" When everyone heard this, they also laughed and coaxed for a while, Zhang Wulang was not very good at words, so he just bowed his head a little embarrassedly and said nothing. Zhang Wulang's marriage to Cai's family is naturally not high, Wulang is a county marquis, his status is very high, Cai Weng has money but no status, and he just married the lintel of the light gate, which is something that cannot be sought, what is it to make some money.
Xue Chongxun looked at Yuwen Xiao again and asked, "Yuwen Gong is old, isn't he tired on the road?" β
Yu Wenxiao smiled: "The old bones are still tough. β
A few people who had just come back said a few words to Xue Chongxun, and then went to greet the other generals and officials who greeted them. After a while, Xue Chongxun said: "You can only drink the wind when you talk here, don't talk much, everyone will go to my house to feast and drink, and I will wash the dust for everyone!" β
Yuwen Xiaole said: "That dare is good, just eating vegetarian mouths on the road is so tasteless." β
Xue Chongxun pointed to the carriage: "Yuwen Gong and I rode in the car, and Zhang Wulang rode a horse when he was young. General Yin, you first lead the army to the south of the Wannian County Pavilion with the imperial history to repair, and there will be people in the court to carry wine and meat to reward the army. You can bear with it for a while, and then come back to the house after arranging the barracks. β
Yin Ci looked clear and beautiful, and he responded with a fist full of elegance. Then they all went back to the city.
Xue Chongxun accompanied the old officials who came back from Longyou to feast and drink that night, but he didn't dare to drink too much, and he still had to work these days.
At this time, 36,000 officials from all over Gyeonggi had been transferred to Tongguan in batches, and grain and grass were also escorted to Tongguan for hoarding. The people who came back also had to be arranged, Xue Chongxun didn't want his own people to be treated badly, so he proposed in front of the prime minister that he wanted Yuwen Xiaofu to restore his official position in Jingzhao Mansion.
Yu Wenxiao also led the officials of the county palace, and the backbone of the "intelligence bureau" he brought back from Longyou County happened to develop his influence in Chang'an under the protection of the GuΓ² palace.
The mansion next door to the Hedong Royal Mansion was originally the property of a Xun family, which was bought to open a mansion and set up officials, and the officials inside led the court but mainly served the prince. Yu Wenxiao's office residence is inside, and he is with Wang Changling again.
β¦β¦
Chang'an City is bounded by the Vermilion Bird Street that is dozens of zhang wide, Chang'an County in the west and Wannian County in the east. The Shence army was stationed on the territory of Wannian County in the southeast of Chang'an City, and walked thousands of miles to rest for a few days before moving east.
There was no problem with military discipline at all, and when he first arrived in Chang'an, there were no incidents that disturbed the people. General Yin Ci seems to be weak, but his means are not weak at all, and he does what he says he says, knowing that his subordinates do not dare to judge people by their appearance, but are a little afraid of him.
Another reason is that all the generals above the commander of the Shence Army are from the Flying Tiger Regiment...... The Flying Tiger Regiment is not only a guard, but has now developed into something similar to an officer group, and all the generals of Xue Chongxun's descendant troops are drawn from it. The ministers of the court had long realized that Xue Chongxun had cultivated party henchmen, but it was Princess Taiping who acquiesced in the past, and no one said anything stupidly; Now that Taiping has just retired, and is about to lead the army of the king of Hedong to quell the rebellion, the imperial historian has not said anything for the time being.
Yin Ci himself is also a general of the Flying Tiger Regiment, and his subordinates are all old men of the Flying Tiger Regiment, so of course he is handy in managing it, and there is a lot less estrangement. However, he also knew the way to govern the army, and when he saw that the soldiers were tired, he was not too restrictive after being stationed in Wannian County, and allowed everyone to go out of the camp to have fun.
The fun of the martial artists is nothing more than drinking and gambling for money, and if they win, they go to the Qinglou to prostitute themselves. Some military camps also have camp prostitutes, raising some women for the soldiers to have fun, the Tang Dynasty was not strict in the control of sexuality, sex and industry, although the civil and military officials in public office swaggered to do the things of looking for flowers and willows, and even used the imperial grain to raise prostitutes.
There was a brigade commander named Gong Yecheng in the Shence Army, and as soon as he left the camp, he was pulled by the soldiers to gamble money, and he was busy saying that something was wrong.
Everyone was surprised, and someone said: "Brother, it's best to gamble, I haven't seen the military salary spent for a year in Longyou, and I can bear it with the money in hand?" What's going on today? β
The other laughed teasingly: "Don't you have a good relationship in Chang'an, so you are in a hurry to meet?" β
"Fart!" Gongye Cheng scolded, unwilling to say more and walked away. He really went to see each other, last year the Flying Tiger Regiment was stationed in Chang'an for a while, when he was still a pawn without a position, he met a little lady who sold hemp candy outside the East Market, and his heart was hooked away, just when the fire arrived, he wanted to marry the door, this time he finally returned to Chang'an, he naturally wanted to find the little lady.
When the coup d'Γ©tat last year, he fought bravely in front of the Wude Palace, which impressed Zhang Wulang, and said that he would give him a chance to be promoted. Now that Gong Yecheng is a brigade commander, there are 100 people under him, and he is even more confident.
He carried a pair of gold bracelets in his arms, which he had saved for a long time to buy, and deliberately wore two gears of armor and a general's saber at his waist, and packed up very vigorously, and then took two or three of his own soldiers and rode north, this time to show off...... The little lady's parents were a little snobbish, and at that time they only said that Gongye Cheng was a pawn, worse than a hawker, thinking that people who do a little business can at least earn money back, and if they can't make money from being a soldier, they may die at any time. There is no way, people in the market are so short-sighted.
But now Gong Yecheng plans to raise his eyebrows, and he is reluctant to be a little girl.
Gong Yecheng and others found the little lady's home, but fortunately, as long as there was no war, the people's family was still very stable, because there was no chance to make a career, and the family used to sell hemp candy is still selling hemp candy, and the house has not changed. Gong Yecheng knocked on the door, his demeanor was naturally very surprising, and the attitude of Xiao Niang's parents changed greatly. The snobbery of the world is not worth making a fuss about.
When Gongye Cheng sent the gold bracelet, the second elder thought it was a dowry, and complained about why he didn't invite a matchmaker. Gongye Cheng generously said that it was just a meeting gift, and the dowry was prepared separately after the dowry, which made the two elders happy.
Now, the little lady's family naturally has no objection to their coming, Gongye Cheng was very interested, and immediately dismissed the entourage, changed his clothes and asked the little lady to go shopping, and spent a few rare days together, because wearing armor and walking with the little lady is really an eyesore.
He went to the clothes on his body, but he actually looked very ordinary, and his figure was not burly enough, he looked a little thin, and his face was not very square. But the little lady is very smart.
The two wandered around the market for a while, and Gong Yecheng looked very generous when he returned to his hometown, and bought a lot of food for the little lady. Unexpectedly, when Fang came out of the market, he met a few drunk and dizzy people in the market, and when he saw that the little lady looked smart, he made a joke.
Where can Gong Yecheng endure it, and when he walked up, he punched the outrageous green skin and spit blood, so he fought on the street with a pair of four or five people, where did Gong Yecheng want to get any military discipline or not military discipline at this moment?
Although he is a brigade commander, it is okay to fight with equipment, and it is not much stronger to fight with these market scoundrels with his bare hands, not to mention that he really does not have the upper hand when he fights a few people alone, and he is soon beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. The green skin at the head knocked it to the ground, spit and smiled at the frightened little lady: "The little lady just got it with Lao Tzu." β
Gongye Cheng was furious and scolded: "Lao Tzu has plucked your skin." β
A green skin said: "Listen to the accent of a foreigner? Horizontal what? β
At this moment, I saw that the people on the street dodged one after another, and some people watched the excitement and said: "The honor guard of the prince of Hedong, hurry up and give way, otherwise you won't be able to finish eating and go around!" β
