Then the first year of the auspicious charm on the tail of the Yonghui year, the year is about to end in winter, although the new year is very festive, but obviously this year is not peaceful, the first half and the second half, the world is different, first Chen Zhibao entered Beijing as the secretary of the military department, and the Xu family completely drew a clear line, it is a great joy, and then the position of the prince who has been vacant for a long time is out of the water, and the kings are divided into kings out of Beijing to become a domain, and it is also smooth and deserved, it is a happy event, and then there is Yin Maochun to preside over the official comment, in an orderly manner, such as Ding Ding to solve the cow, worthy of the reputation of concealment. If it weren't for Xu Fengnian's hereditary replacement of the king of Beiliang, the first half of the first year of Xiangfu would be a good thing. Then it was eventful, Guangling Road was in turmoil, Lu Shengxiang, the squire of the military department, was handsome, the vassal king Jing was difficult, one of the two Spring and Autumn Meritorious veterans died in battle, and one is still trapped, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and fierce generals were just like this. When the frost fell, before the winter really began, I heard that the million-strong army of Beimang was going south to the Central Plains. But Lu Shengxiang's position as the commander is undoubtedly in jeopardy, and the Confucian saint Cao Changqing also appeared on the eastern front of Guangling Road, confronting Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, and it was about to break out. Shu King Chen Zhi leopard like a mud cow into the sea has no news, Yan King Zhao Bingcun heart to watch the fire from the other side, as the national capital of Tai'an City, if it is not for the twilight of Qi Yanglong, in this autumn and winter alternate grass and trees in the yellow season, I am afraid that people would have been panicked.

Tai'an City is a real inch of land, many officials who can participate in the court meeting every day have worked hard for 20 years, and they may not be able to afford a house, and the more they go on, the more they can't afford it, there was a tragedy a few years ago, a certain official who lived in a remote place drowned in the river in the early morning rainstorm in order to catch up with the court meeting. When today's son claims to sit on the country, but he is an almost paranoid thrifty king, and the clan is also strictly controlled, the encroachment of the emperor's relatives in the past dynasties will not need a generation after the founding of the country will become more and more intense, but it is extremely rare in this dynasty, it is more and more prominent that he sits on the dragon chair and is different from other emperors. However, His Majesty the Emperor has never been stingy in showing generosity to those important ministers, except for the Hanshu scholars who got ahead in the spring of Yonghui, in recent years, there are Chen Zhibao, Lu Baijie, Lu Shengxiang, these three military officers, at the beginning of entering Beijing, lived in a first-class Zhumen mansion, and rewarded countless people.

But these people are still not as good as Qi sacrifice wine, Qi Yanglong's house, the old owner is a county king who was deprived of hereditary replacement in the hands of the first emperor, and the eldest son has already been demoted to the general of the town country, which is nothing, in order to take care of Qi Yanglong, who once called himself Yue Di and was greedy, the son of the Zhao family, who never played tricks in the imperial dining room, specially set up a Yue Stove Bureau in Qi Mansion, and found two masters who were good at cooking from the territory of the old Dongyue, just to serve the taste of Qi sacrifice wine, so Qi Yanglong even saved the local customs of the new Beijing official. Qi Mansion is such a feng shui treasure, naturally let the city of dignitaries and dignitaries flock to it, all to be able to cross the threshold of Qi Mansion as the honor, and their respective identities, the depth of the background, good things like to enter the house before and after the time as a judgment, for a time the gate of Qi Mansion became the Dragon Gate, this is Zhang Julu when he took charge of Shangshu Province has never appeared unprecedented pomp, but this is also related to Zhang Shoufu's unapproachable feelings, Qi sacrifice wine is very different, Qi Yanglong does not refuse the mansion silk given by the Son of Heaven, nor does he refuse the elegant play book collection given by colleagues, some people have roughly estimated, it is less than a month, Qi Mansion's Iron Sword and Qin Gall Building has no less than 80 copies of the "Fengshu" that are "page counting remuneration, one page and one gold", the Fengban book of the Dafeng Dynasty, which is recognized as exquisite paper, simple and simple and good engraving, it is necessary to know that the most prestigious private library in the world today can have hundreds of Fengban treasures, which are the result of the perseverance of several generations of the family to spend a lot of money.

Qi Mansion is full of red lanterns.

Qi Yang Long sent away Yan Jiexi, a scholar of Dongyuan Pavilion, and drank two jars of old wine, at this time, the old man who came to the study alone looked red, he passed a thick fur, the old man was short and thin, especially in the north where the man was so tall and healthy, he was a little overwhelmed. The old man came to the bookshelf, all the way, did not take a look at those priceless rare books, but took out a copy of Gu Jiantang sent by the Beiliang local chronicle, the author is unknown, after the old man opened it, I don't know why I read those concise and concise words, only to feel a lonely anger rushing to my face: "The land of Lianglong, the winter is extremely cold, many clothes and skins, although the rat is covered with ugly skin, it is also deeply hidden, all of them are clothed with thick hair, every severe winter, the fingers are cracked, and the bones are frozen for thousands of miles. The ground is extremely high, the cool people are cold and hungry, brave and light, but they are not afraid of death, they are noble and strong, they are good at riding up and down the cliff like flying, they do not need to cross the river without boats, they pass by floating horses, and they are extremely good at hunting......"

The old man dipped his saliva and turned the pages one by one, during which he read a paragraph: "His men grow saddle horses, and they are the heaviest armored soldiers." The upper horse roars like the wind, and the lower horse gathers to shepherd, and everyone is a soldier. Millions of households in the cool land are better than tens of millions in the south of the Yangtze River, and those who support this place win the world. The temperament is strong, rather bend than bend, the heart is easy to repeat, the softness is not enough to make meritorious contributions, and the non-combat merits are especially brilliant, which is not enough to grab the side skills and guard the door. I have this place, controllable northwest, riding a horse north, just around the corner, Beimang got here, less than ten years, whip Guangling. ”

The old man unconsciously read this book written many years ago, his mind was sad, the old man already knew who the Tao came from, the disciple Xun Ping, more than Yuan Benxi and Xie Feiyu, let him regard him as a scholar who can support the mantle, the old man never felt that anyone deserved to be jealous of the talent, the so-called Huai Cai did not meet, it must be caused by low learning, but only the disciple Xun Ping was an exception. If Xun Ping hadn't died early, the old man believed that he wouldn't have to wade into this troubled water at all, and now it is not just a puddle of muddy water, it is already a sign of turbid waves, and whoever mixes it with it will have a mixed reputation. The old man was sentimental, silently put the book back on the shelf, and soon the housekeeper came to report to the distinguished guest, it was the back door of the relationship between Zhao Hui, the king of Tuorong County, and the old man did not see the slightest boredom, only said that it would come later, the steward wanted to remind his own lord that the king of Rongjun was the head of the noble class of a clan in the capital, and he couldn't be lazy, but he soon felt that he was doing too much, and almost all the families in Tai'an City visited Qi Mansion, "King of Taiping County" Zhao Hui, as the brother of the first emperor, did not come to the door only because of his advanced age, and he wanted to come to this trip to make a visitor, but he was nothing more than the son of the old county king.

Qi Yanglong, who was not idle for a moment, walked to the main hall and saw several young backs pointing at a pair of ear sockets outside the house, all of which were good objects left by the old owner here, and it was difficult to move them away, otherwise such a pair of two-person high Chunshen Lake boulders could be sold for 400,000 taels of silver in Beijing. The old man was not in a hurry to say hello, walked lightly, and after seeing the side faces clearly, he smiled, but they were all a handful of hot characters. Wu Shijiao, father Wu Lingsu, the former palace master of Qingyang Palace, is now the leader of Taoism in the north, and the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion is divided into the river, and the two Zen temples will personally seal the mountain gate for this person. One person has ascended to heaven, not to mention Wu Shijiao, the only son of Wu Shenxian.

Wang Yuanran, who is known as the youngest son of Wang Xionggui, the head of the household who has the most money in the Liyang Dynasty, annoyed a large group of powerful descendants of the same status last time, and forced Wang Shangshu, who was furious, to go to the door of others to kneel in the snow to plead guilty, and then was thrown into the Guozi Prison, which stopped for almost half a year, and now it is probably out of the rivers and lakes again.

In addition to these two hot young people, there are also two grandsons who have made meritorious contributions in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they have recently gained power. With the death of Yan Zhenchun and the loss of Yang Shenxing's position, the foundation of the Yan and Yang families in Tai'an City floated, greatly hurting their vitality, and the rest of the generals did not have the idea of rabbit death and fox sorrow, the latter Those ancestors who personally established immortal contributions in the Spring and Autumn War were old and sick, and they were far less than Yang Shenxing's Yang family, Yang Shenxing was still alive in the west of Gyeonggi, and most of the Han family's family was handed over to him, holding tens of thousands of Jizhou soldiers, so that many times the imperial court decree was not as good as Yang Shenxing's words. It's just that the wall is pushed down, as long as Yang Shenxing has no military power, then he will not only have an extra general's seat, but the entire officialdom of Jizhou will be turned upside down, and a large number of four or five real power magistrates can be freed up.

When these four people saw the old man who was almost a head shorter than them, they all bowed respectfully, Qi Yanglong accepted it calmly, and when they got up, he asked with a smile: "Except for waiting for me, a bad old man, you should still be waiting for someone, right? ”

Wang Yuanran was about to speak, when a familiar laughter came from behind him, Qi Yanglong turned around and saw three visitors, all of whom had the same young faces, but compared to the group around him, whether it was identity or gas, it was much more than that.

The former fourth prince, now the crown prince Zhao Zhang.

Guozijian is the right priest to the wine Jin Lan Pavilion, and there is a man who Qi Yanglong doesn't know, full of murderous arrogance that can't be concealed, even if he is accompanied by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Jin Saburo, he has no consciousness of being a green leaf. The old man thought about it and remembered a person, it should be eight or nine inseparable, Yuan Tingshan, Gu Jiantang's son-in-law, the son-in-law of Jizhou Yanbao, the old Gu Lu of the military department used to have a secret file, divided into upper and lower volumes by age, and the people who can be named on it, especially the next volume, in the past 20 years, except for a few people who have self-destructed their futures, the vast majority of them have achieved the lowest and highest position of the general of the fourth grade. Yuan Tingshan is now ranked among the top three on top of the "next volume".

The three of them worked together.

Qi Yanglong let them be exempted, a little emotional, and said with a smile: "It's good to be young." ”
