Chapter Ninety-Seven: Mother's Family
Chenzhou is not a good place, this is the consensus of Datang officialdom.
The states and counties of Datang are divided into upper, middle and lower levels, but Chenzhou is not ranked, why? Because the inferior states and counties are much stronger than Chenzhou.
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places, so the officials all compete for the positions of the upper states and counties, and avoid the middle and lower classes. And Chen Zhou doesn't need to be said, in the eyes of the Tang officials, it is a fire pit.
Therefore, the officials who can come here to serve have either offended the officials or made big mistakes.
Some of these people are self-defeating, some are violent, and some are like losing their souls.
Newcomers come to beat, this is the unspoken rule. After a few beatings, the newcomer behaves well, and everyone will accept this person. Since then, the exchange of letters, or the gathering in the state party, is a friendship.
Du Hui's beating was undoubtedly accompanied by some condescending contempt, but as a newcomer, Yang Xuan either silently or wiped the saliva from his face and responded with a smile.
You, unworthy!
Yang Xuan's expression was contemptuous when he said this, as if he was looking down on an ant.
Du Hui was instantly furious, got up and shouted: "The old man has been guarding Zhangyu County for several years, and the thieves have hit the wall one by one before the old man, and Zhangyu County is peaceful because of the old man." You, the smell of milk has not dried, where did you get the courage to question the old man? ”
"yes!" Lin Ziyu, who is a good person, habitually responds.
Someone said, "I'm arrogant." ”
Yang Xuan looked at Du Hui and asked, "How many thieves have happened in Zhangyu County?" ”
Du Hui sneered, "Last month, more than 100 horse thieves raided, and the old man personally went to the city, and under the scolding, the horse thieves fled. ”
Yang Xuan looked at the person who spoke for Du Hui just now, "What about you?" ”
That's Han Li, who joined the army!
Han Li glanced at Yang Xuan coldly, silently.
Yang Xuan smiled, "Just ten days ago, the thief chief Deng Hu led more than 300 horse thieves to raid my Taiping County, and there were only fifty soldiers in the city. The thieves covered the city with arrows, and suffered heavy casualties......"
Du Hui immediately looked at Han Li, then shifted his gaze.
"Yang led four of his entourage to rush down to the city, fought bloodily, and defeated the horse thief." Yang Xuan suddenly shouted: "There are more than 100 soldiers in Zhang Yu City, you just waved a few times with a horizontal knife, really scaring away the horse thief?" Shameless! ”
Du Hui looked at Liu Qing fiercely.
The old man wanted to stop it, but your mouth was too fast...... Liu Qing nodded slightly.
Du Hui's face was pale, and he couldn't find a place to fight back for a while.
The teenager won big.
Liu Qing coughed dryly.
"This is the county magistrate of Taiping County, Yang Xuan!"
This seems to be a nonsense reintroduction, but it makes people's hearts sink.
Yang Xuan stood up and saluted.
"I've met all the seniors, and I will ask for more advice in the future."
Then came some arrangement and comfort.
Yang Xuan took the opportunity to ask: "Envoy, my fifty sergeants in Taiping County, I lost more than ten in the last battle, when will I supplement the lower officials?" ”
Han Li, who joined the army, said lightly: "There is nothing superfluous in the state. ”
"Is that a subordinate who is left alone to keep the peace?" Yang Xuan's attitude today can be called-for-tat.
Han Li had a cold face, "Taiping, many villains, you practice on your own." ”
"Where's the money?" Yang Xuan asked dissatisfiedly.
Han Li said calmly, "Prepare yourself." ”
Yang Xuan's face turned pale, and Liu Qing scolded when he saw this: "Stop it." ”
Yang Xuan sat down indignantly, and in his ear, Suzaku said: "If you get cheap, you are still good, you are talking about this little fox." ”
Liu Qing slapped the case, and the roar echoed.
"Three years of Daqian, the old man thinks it's a good year. Good news comes from a good year. Later, the old man entertained a meal, and after eating, they got out. In a word, he kept his place and was meritorious. Lost territory, cut off on its own. ”
Then came the dinner.
After the meal, everyone came to say goodbye.
Liu Qing stood on the steps, Lu Qiang was on the side, and both of them were wearing horizontal knives.
The county commander of Wangu County ordered Lu Jiao to come forward and salute, "Take care of you." ”
Liu Qing nodded and said in a deep voice: "Have a good journey." ”
The second person stepped forward and said, "Take care!" ”
"Have a nice trip!"
Somehow, Yang Xuan felt that his eyes were a little hot.
"Take care."
"Have a nice trip."
When it was Yang Xuan's turn, he stepped forward and saluted, "Take care of you." ”
Liu Qing looked at him and suddenly smiled, "Young people haven't experienced those hardships, and it's common sense to be angry." It's difficult over there in Taiping, and the old man is looking at you in Lin'an, so you can do it. ”
Yang Xuan nodded, and Liu Qing bowed, "Have a good trip." ”
When I got out of the county hall, I saw two gangs of people confronting each other, and on one side Huo Ran was Wang Lao Er and the old thief.
"It's out."
The two groups looked inside the gate.
Du Hui came out first, and the other group saluted.
"What's the fuss?" Du Hui asked.
A big man here pointed at the old thief and said, "It's just a joke, this person actually humiliated us and others." To humiliate us is to humiliate the Ming Mansion......"
"I've seen Lang Jun."
The old thief and the king saluted.
"What?" Yang Xuan held on to the hilt of the knife.
The old thief said: "Those people laughed at the second child for being a fool, and took a penny and threw it on the ground, and asked the second child to kneel down and tell Ye Ye to give it to him." ”
Yang Xuan looked at him and asked, "Then what are you waiting for?" ”
The old thief was stunned.
Yang Xuan asked, "Who did it?" ”
Du Hui came out alone, "This matter ......"
"Hit!" Yang Xuan shouted.
The old thief's figure flickered, but the second king was faster.
He raised his hand and waved it vigorously.
Syllable!
The man who came out fell to the ground without saying a word, his body bounced a few times, and then he fell silent.
The surroundings of the state party are quiet and scary.
Du Hui walked over, as if there was a flame burning in his eyes, "Young man, don't get carried away." ”
Yang Xuan took a step forward, "To deal with a mad dog, you should beat it with a stick!" ”
As soon as Du Hui wanted to speak, a person ran out of it and shouted: "Let the king have an order, whoever fights again will stay in the state party, and let the king accompany him to fight!" ”
Yang Xuan nodded, "Come back!" ”
The old thief and the second king are back.
The three of them got on their horses and immediately left.
In the room, Liu Qing, who had been informed, looked calm.
"Du Hui and Yang Xuansu have never met, but they were angry when they met for the first time, and you said nothing in the middle...... The old man never believed it. ”
Lu Qiang nodded, "Du Hui made a mistake and was driven to Chenzhou, but he has always dreamed of returning to Chang'an. Chang'an! Who wouldn't? ”
Liu Qing frowned suddenly, "The old man is most worried about Taiping, Yang Xuan and Du Hui fell out, if Taiping is attacked, Du Hui will support?" ”
Lu Qiang's eyes were confused, "Make Jun, the lower officials are more worried." ”
Liu Qing asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Lu Qiang said: "Originally, the government soldiers from all over the Tang Dynasty took turns, and there was no shortage of sharp soldiers in the frontier. However, on the grounds that the government soldiers had spent too much money and food on the grounds that they had traveled thousands of miles, the DPRK and China had begun to reduce the deployment of government soldiers to the border. ”
"It's okay elsewhere, the population is large, and there is a lot of money and food. But our Chenzhou is poor and white, where can we recruit warriors? Ay! ”
Not long after, the familiar roar was heard from the state party again.
"Cheap dog slave, look at the good paperwork you made!"
Outside the state hall, a woman heard the roar and praised: "The spirit of the envoy is really full, it seems that this year will be safe." ”
……
On the way back, Du Hui and others camped in the wilderness.
At night, a ride comes far away.
"Who?" The sergeant of the guard asked.
Someone came to rein in the horse, and said in the long neighing of the war horse: "Acquaintance." ”
After a while, Du Hui and the people who came were talking in the tent.
"Today's envoy scolded Yang Xuan, which is exciting."
Du Hui said coldly: "The old man only cares about one thing, you wait until you say that you can get the old man back to Chang'an as an official after the matter is completed, is this true, or false?" ”
The visitor chuckled, his body swayed back and forth, and the candlelight reflected on the tent, like a ghost.
He held out a finger from his left hand.
Four fingers extend out of the right hand.
The candlelight reflected the figures of the two on the tent.
One laughed.
One person is reserved.
……
Yang Xuan hurried to Taiping County.
Outside the city gates, the death camp was still practicing.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The spear was assassinated again and again, and the momentum was good.
"I've seen the Ming Mansion." The crowd saluted.
Yang Xuan bowed, "Continue to practice." ”
When he arrived at the county office, he called Cao Ying.
In the lobby of the backyard, everyone gathered.
"Lang Jun has been in the dust all the way, and the slave will cook first."
"Let's talk about it first." Yi Niang got up and was stopped by Yang Xuan, "This time I went to Lin'an, Du Hui from Zhangyu County suddenly attacked me. ”
He told what happened on the trip.
Cao Ying sneered, "Lang Jun and that Du Hui are meeting for the first time, but the first time they meet, they are not good, and even the entourage dares to provoke the old thief, and the old man sees that Du Hui did it for others to see." ”
Yang Xuan nodded, "Since he wants to do it, then I will naturally give him a slap." ”
Yi Niang's heart tightened, and said, "Whose command will it be?" Changan! It must be Chang'an! ”
Yang Xuan nodded, "I think the same way, the He family is the most suspicious, but Han Li, who joined the army, is also a little indifferent to me, and the He family's hand is ...... Not that long. ”
Cao Ying said in a deep voice: "Why did the four surnames of the family make a move on Lang Jun? ”
Everyone was thinking, all kinds of possibilities were considered, but they couldn't be sure.
Yi Niang was depressed when she heard this, sat there with her hands on her cheeks, and suddenly said: "Lang Jun is here because of Liang Jing's relationship, concubine...... Queen......"
The crowd looked at her slowly.
Yi Niang's eyes lit up and patted the case.
Bang!
The old thief who was napping raised his head sharply and said in a daze: "Yi Niang spares her life, the old man did not rob the second child's meat." ”
Yi Niang said angrily: "Is the slave so fierce? ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Only Wang Lao Er said very seriously: "Yi Niang is the best." ”
Everyone's eyes softened.
The old thief coughed dryly and wiped the corners of his mouth.
Yi Niang took the opportunity to sort out her thoughts, "When we came out, the concubines in the palace became more and more favored. The queen is like a statue of a god carved out of wood, with only a name. This battle was won by the concubine. But a woman's heart ......"
"Submarine needle."
The old thief raised an eyebrow.
Yi Niang, "The queen's position cannot be shaken, otherwise not only will the queen be unlucky, but the prince will not be able to escape." The so-called mother is more expensive than the son, and in other words, the son is expensive by the mother. The status of the queen is shaken, what does she want to do most? ”
"Let's fight." The old thief said.
"The emperor is favored, how can the queen fight? If the concubine is injured in the slightest, the emperor will inevitably roar and be furious, how can the queen dare to give the emperor an excuse to abolish the queen? Therefore, the person who fights the concubine is the queen's means, and the executor is a family of four surnames. ”
Everyone is looking at Yi Niang.
Yi Niang raised her head, "It's inappropriate? ”
"Right!"
Everyone said in unison.
"Right!" Wang Lao Er realized it and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Hahahaha!"
The crowd laughed.
