Chapter 412: Chin Cha
In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the year.
Zong Xu was very busy.
When he first came, Yang Shu ridiculed the Zong family with the words "King of the Northwest", but in fact, the status of the Zong family is really no different from that of the King of the Northwest.
The military affairs in the northwest are all decided by the Zong family, even if Liang Zhang leads the right army, the grade is not as good as Zongxu, if it comes to wartime, he will also have to return to Zongxu.
As a result, when the New Year comes, in addition to military affairs, the Commander's Office also has to deal with all kinds of etiquette.
In addition to the mansions, there were also rewards from the capital, as well as tributes from various ethnic groups in the northwest.
This year, because of the Beihu incident, in addition to the usual reward, a messenger was also sent over.
This Qincha Yang Shu also knows, his surname is Guo Mingxu, and he was originally in the political affairs hall, and everyone had to be called a grandfather.
Guo Xu is a good man, and the reason why he was reduced to running northwest on a business trip in the wind and snow was also unlucky.
Among the ministers in the political hall, he is young, hot-tempered, and there are many people who are not used to it. He has a hobby that can't be put on the table, that is, he likes to please his little wife.
One day he was drinking tea near Changle Pond, and when he saw that the daughter was delicate and slender, he moved his mind and asked the media to ask, wanting to be accepted as the ninth concubine.
The tea boss responded happily, but the daughter of the family had just gone on a blind date before, and they were very satisfied with each other, so they were waiting for the engagement.
was so sideways by Guo Xu, this family affair did not work out, and the daughter of the family learned that she was going to marry a man who could be her father as a concubine, and she was angry.
When it comes to this matter, Guo Xu himself does not know. However, if it is known by political opponents, how can it not be used?
As a result, Guo Xiangye was overwhelmed by the impeachment recital.
Although it is not a big deal for a man to marry a few more concubines, the mainstream of the doctor still praises the chastity of husband and wife. On weekdays, no one cares about this little thing, but if it really comes out, everyone will make money, and it will become a matter of morality.
Seeing that the court and the central government were making a fuss about this, the emperor was also annoyed, so he demoted Guo Xu by a few levels, and kicked him out of the capital and went to the northwest ice and snow land to calm down.
Guo Xiangye braved the wind and snow like this, and he didn't even dare to bring a room, so he came to Baimenxia.
Seeing Guo Xu shivering from the cold, Yang Shu couldn't help but wipe a handful of sympathetic tears for him.
Not long after he was supposed to be in the northwest, it snowed heavily. This encounter was the same as the first time I went back to Gaotang, the snow on the road was more than a foot thick, and it was inconvenient for cars and horses to pass, so I could only move forward little by little.
This kind of weather is not suitable for going out, but Guo Xu has a holy decree and rushes to Baimenxia before the New Year, even if he climbs, he has to climb over.
Yang Shu learned that in addition to sympathy, he was a little gloating.
It's a pleasure to find someone who is even more unlucky than yourself.
When he arrived at the Commander's Mansion and announced his decree, Guo Xu asked Zong Xu for a room, and trembled with the fire.
By the time Yang Shu saw him again, it had been two days.
"Guo Xiangye, long time no see."
Guo Xu stiffened his face and said, "This official is no longer the prime minister, and I also ask Yang Sangongzi to change his title." ”
Yang Shu is as good as flowing: "Lord Guo." ”
Guo Xu nodded and said, "Third Prince Yang, if the official remembers correctly, you are currently the Gaotang pastoral supervisor, you should be in Gaotang County, how can you be in Baimenxia?" ”
Yang Shu sighed for a long time, and pulled him to spit out bitterness: "Lord Guo doesn't know, this sect is really too domineering. Previously, thieves plundered the horse farm, and in a fit of rage, my son ordered someone to sweep the thieves' den. How do you know that when you meet the eldest prince of Zong, he will also go to suppress the bandits, and he will detain the people of this son without explaining any reason, and force this son to come to Baimenxia to say. Master Guo, you are the person who is the prime minister, and the cat in this must be like a fire. Before Ben Gongzi came, why didn't he see them suppress bandits? But when Ben Gongzi began to clean up those bandits, they also came to join in the fun, obviously wanting to grab the benefits. Tell me how there is such a cheap thing......"
He rambled for a long time, and Guo Xu was one head and two big.
Guo Xu is very talented, otherwise, he would not have entered the political hall in his early forties. But he was too arrogant and always looked down on martial artists.
Yang Shu and the father and son of the Zong family just violated his taboo. Fighting fiercely for the sake of a little bit of interest, there is no grace at all.
In the past, Yang Shu still maintained the face of a noble son, but when he came to the northwest, he was so unsophisticated, which made him more and more disliked.
“…… The Zong family is really insidious, and it provoked me to fight with them in martial arts. To say that these people under this son are not bad, but this is the territory of their clan, where can they compare to them? But they don't want to succeed, since they have to take advantage of this, then Ben Gongzi will stay here for the New Year, eat theirs and use theirs, and wait until the spring flowers bloom, how can they take this breath......"
"Alright, alright." Guo Xu's face turned blue, "The official knows, there are still important things now, and Yang Sangongzi will take care of himself." ”
Yang Shu was still reluctant: "Lord Guo, don't you help me get justice?" Fortunately, we are also acquaintances, this surname is ......."
"This official has an important business here, and you will talk about these things later."
"Okay." Yang Shu looked very regretful, "When Lord Guo is done, my son will invite you to drink again." ”
Guo Xu arched his hand perfunctorily and went to talk to Zong Xu.
Liang Zhang's secret recital said that the movements of Beihu Babu were related to a woman beside Yang San. It's not easy to ask directly about this matter, Guo Xiangye decided to start with the Zong family.
If there is anything greasy in it, the clan who has a disagreement with him must be happy to tell him.
Yang Shu returned to the guest house, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Mingwei asked him, "What?" Does this Guo Xiangye have a problem? ”
Yang Shu shook his head and said: "His intention is not unusual, except for seeing the situation of the Zong family in the northwest on the spot, there is also the news of finding out about Beihu. Last time, Gonggong Liu was ordered to come over, and he didn't reprimand half a sentence, it is said that there should be no business for us, but Guo Xu was demoted out of Beijing, and in order to gain the trust of the saint, he will definitely do his best to make meritorious contributions. ”
"So, be careful what he sees?"
Yang Shu smiled: "We didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but don't offend him." After a pause, he added, "The winter in the northwest is very long, and when the ice and snow melt, it is almost time for him to return to Beijing." ”
Mingwei understands it, but it's just three words to delay time.
But......
"Does the Zong family think so too?"
"For the Zong family, more is better than less. The military affairs of the northwest must not be interfered with by others, and they are more looking forward to Guo Xu's departure as soon as possible than we do. ”
Just as Yang Shu guessed, the Zong family didn't intend to cause trouble at all. Guo Xu is also a former Xiangye, because of this demotion will sooner or later be promoted back, and he will be treated with courtesy.
When he mentioned Yang Shu, Zong Rui said angrily: "Lord Guo, you came just in time." This Yang Sangongzi is really not particular. At the beginning, we said it well, and the martial arts show a victory or defeat. He was defeated, but he didn't leave! This is the Left Army Commander's Palace, is it a place for him to eat and drink for nothing? It's so unbelievable! Can you help us talk about it and let him go back? ”
