On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Emperor of Tang invited all the civil and military officials of the court, followed by a seven-day annual leave.

Tang Zhongming was in a very good mood. In a blink of an eye, it has been twenty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

In the first ten years, the people suffered and the national treasury was empty; in the next ten years, the national treasury gradually became abundant and the lives of the people gradually improved. A water truck that suddenly appeared could be said to have brought a turning point to the Ming Dynasty and brought food and clothing for the people of the Ming Dynasty for a lifetime. Even if there is a disaster, it will not make everyone lose all their money!

In recent years, Tubo has repeatedly invaded, and now it is better. The western border has advanced thirty cities, and the Ming Dynasty has become larger!

Tang Zhongming was very relieved and took all the officials to the Tiantai to worship his ancestors. On this day, Tang Qingning, who had been full of military achievements, married Su Zihe, the seventh daughter of Su Xiang!

The princess who cares about her wholeheartedly get married again, and the remaining four princes are still young, and they are all outstanding!

After several months, a small Tanhualang made a bold proposal, which was officially launched today by Emperor Tang!

At the same time, several departments were established and a large number of personnel were allocated!

Hu Ziyang, the owner of the proposal, obviously, when he became Tanhualang last year, he should have been an editor of the Hanlin Academy, but he only worked as a small employee. Until today he came up with a plan from Tang Zhongmingxin, he gave him an editorial position!

To be honest, it is unfair to Xiaowu! But no one expected that an imperial edict that followed would send Xiaowu to Tongzhou in Linhai to become the prefect.

All the officials had all kinds of speculations in their minds, Tongzhou, Tongzhou is a fat man! Besides, Moliao City in Tongzhou is the origin of the royal family. How much is the meaning of the emperor sending this kid there?

While the officials were thinking about it, Tang Zhongming issued the last imperial edict!

Tang Zhongming looked at Shi Tou's calm face and smiled with relief, "Ouyang Ying!"

"I'm here!"

Emperor Tang then signaled to Zhang Deyi. Zhang De held the imperial edict in one hand and read aloud, "General Ouyang received the imperial edict!"

Ouyang Ying made great contributions to repel the invasion of Tubo and conquering the ten cities in the Tubo agreement. He also wanted to come to the 20 cities of Tubo and the gold and silver to make a major compensation.

Defending the border and bring peace to the people of the border. He was young and handsome and talented. Therefore, Emperor Tang admired him very much. It turned out that the third-rank general was now named the First-rank General, and was given a general's mansion, countless gold, silver and jewelry, hundreds of fertile land, and hundreds of slaves!

Among all the rewards this year, Ouyang Ying’s rewards are the richest!

But all the officials didn’t know that the reward given to Hu Xiaomeng by the emperor was no less than that of Ouyang Ying!

The stone is neither burning nor dry. I waited for Zhang Deyi to finish the imperial edict before he respectfully thanked the Lord for his kindness!

All officials were clamoring, the third prince smiled, and the prince clenched his fists. Among the people who were rewarded today, none of them mentioned!

——

The lunch banquet was held in Chonghua Hall, and all officials were congratulating the newly enfeoffed officials today, and in the middle, everyone was holding a stone!

Zhang Deyi crossed over to Shi Tou and said with a smile, "General, the emperor is welcome!"

Shitou smiled at everyone, and followed Zhang Deyi to the imperial study room!

"Ouyang Ying, see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

"Get up, I'm asking you to come over, because there is still an imperial edict. I wanted to call you to Xuan, but think about it, you should take it back and give it to your wife!"

Tang Zhongming didn't go around the corner, and said directly and walked out from behind the dragon case. He reached out and patted Shi Tou on the shoulder, "Something I want to talk to you!"

"Prince, please speak..."

"Your father... I feel very guilty about him. Back then, I didn't really want his head. I cherish his talent. But General Zimo was devoted to the Gao family in Daxia, but the Gao family had reached the end of the road. Emperor Gao actually used your father's life to exchange for peace in the future. Although I did not kill your father directly, it was also unrelated to me!"

Emperor Tang stared at the stone like an eagle, and his words were even more direct!

The stone eyes were red, "Emperor, my father is strange and familiar to me. In the chaotic times, my mother escaped from death and raised me alone, so I didn't want me to enter the world again. I just wanted me to be an ordinary villager, and I never told me how my life came from time to time. I was with Ouyang Zimo's blood flowing on my body, so how could I be content with the countryside? In addition, after meeting my master and finding out my life experience, I realized that my master was my father's uncle. With this, I entered the military camp with my master. My father sacrificed his life to defend my country. I will inherit his last wish in this life - be loyal to the emperor and defend my country!"

Listening to Shi Tou's words, Tang Zhongming nodded, "You have a great mother, you must be filial to her! An Ge, I admire you very much, but you are still too young after all. I can suppress you for a while and not let you be arrogant, but I cannot erase your military achievements. Think about it, when Ouyang Zimo became a general of the dynasty, he was twenty-five years old. At that time, I was still an unknown little person, even far away in Moliao City. But among the civil and military affairs in the court, he was the only one I admired and admired! But luck made people..."

The stone did not speak, listened quietly.

Emperor Tang looked out the window and the cold plum blossoms were already blooming quietly with a smile, "Look at the cold plum blossoms, the next year will definitely be a good harvest year!"

Emperor Tang looked at the young man and thought that Cao Liangyu had a sad face that day and came here to complain, and said, "Let's go back and tell your wife to farm well, don't come out to cause trouble!"

Shitou nodded, "I will answer her!"

"Well, that girl looks lukewarm. Unexpectedly, she dares to hit people even with a big belly. She really can't be looked down upon!"

Shi Tou: "..." He hit someone just because the woman deserves to be beaten!

"Qiao Zi'an...how much do you know?" Tang Zhongming put one hand behind his back and the other on the window ridge, as if he was talking about family matters!

I still asked this question!

Shi Tou frowned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Qiao Zian, 26, after the Chinese New Year, he is twenty-seven years old. He has always been self-disciplined and self-love! Because he has lost his mother since childhood, his sister is sick again. He is self-reliant and self-reliant, knows how to take care of the weak, does not have many bad habits, and he is extremely emotional. This person is not bad!"

It's really hard to say so many good things for Shi Tou.

He calmed down his mind, but raised the corners of Tang Zhongming's mouth and smiled, then said, "It's really hard for you to say such a nice thing for you, you can say such a good thing for your former rival!"

The stone drooped his head and thought to himself, old fox! "Your Majesty, this... I can only say that I am slightly honored!"

"Honor? You boy, looking at you honest, you are actually full of scrupulousness! There is something you go back and discuss with your wife and do it..."

"Your Majesty, outsiders can't get involved in emotional matters..." Shi Tou said hurriedly.

After all, if you do it, you won’t get any benefits. If you mess it up, you will still be full of complaints!

"Hmph, it's not a bad idea from your wife. Do you think Ning'er can be captured and killed by her mother so boldly? So, Ning'er and Qiao Zi'an, you have to be so concerned about it! Besides, I am not that pedantic person. After all, Qiao Zi'an is really talented, and I also admire it very much. You must know that the water in Dali Temple should be clear, so let me remind him to not delay the bright future because of the love between children!"

If the stone rudes away again, it will be a bit pretentious.

So he said, "I understand, and I will discuss with my wife how to deduct my wife from Qiao Zi'an's heart..."

"Haha, you guys think I don't know what you think... But I envy you, putting your woman to heaven and letting the men outside look timidly... The eighth brother is not lucky!"

"Your Majesty, it's my wife, Fu Qian, I'm not worthy of the Eighth Prince!"

"Ouyang Ying, Ouyang Ying, she, Hu Xiaohua, is timid and smart. Where can such a woman have grown lovers? She can actually make you feel like you are?"

"Your Majesty, Xiaohua is actually very kind, and she is the thing that I am most willing to do in my life."

Tang Zhongming curled his lips, "No hope!"

Shi Tou didn't answer the conversation, if he had no hope, he would have no hope. Anyway, he just wanted to * her!

"Fortunately, that girl is dedicated to you, and you are worth it! Half a year ago, in order to get rid of her marriage with the King of Qin, she actually used my privileges to grant her. Over the years, I cannot erase her contributions, but I really don't like her. Fortunately, she still values ​​friendship. Otherwise, do you think the marriage dictator I issued would be so unresolved? Okay, seeing that you are finally married, I will not do the thing to break up the couple..."

"Hey, thank you for your accomplishment!" Shi Tou said silly.

Now, he knows who should be foolish and stupid to others, and what to be annihilated and cheated!

Tang Zhongming waved his hand and the stone retreated.

——

Shi Tou and Xiao Wu walked home from the palace one after another. The New Year will be celebrated tomorrow and the general's mansion also gave it to him, so Shi Tou wanted to take everyone to the mansion.

"Brother-in-law, don't be so troublesome!" Xiao Wu said to him.

Shi Tou patted his shoulder, "Xiao Wu, after the New Year, you will go to Tongzhou to take office. Let's spend it together this year. After all, in this Beijing, we are a real family!"

Xiaowu smiled, "Aren't the family ready..."

"Okay, don't be pretentious with me. If you don't go, your parents, Xiaosi and Xiaoliu will not leave. It's too deserted for me and my mother to move to the general's mansion. Can she give up on your third sister's Gu family's temperament?"

"This... OK!" Xiaowu thought about it, after all, he would not be able to come back in a short time when he went to Tongzhou! The fourth sister would marry into the Wan family, and Xiaoliu, she would have to stay in the capital, so it must be her brother-in-law's house. So, it would be better to just listen to her brother-in-law and move over to celebrate the New Year together!

"Xiao Wu, Tongzhou is no better than other places. It is the emperor's hometown. There are many royal relatives in Moliao City. It is difficult to be a prefect!"

Xiao Wu said, "Brother-in-law, I didn't expect that the emperor would issue such an imperial edict. However, when you go on this road, you have to think of many things. Therefore, going to Tongzhou is a good opportunity to exercise! After that, you will become a successful person in an instant. If not, I will come back to be my Hanlin editor and have no loss!"

"You can see clearly!" Shi Tou patted his shoulder and "Go to home."

When the two came back, Xiao Wu went to Zhang Chunzhi and Hu Tiezhu's house, while Shi Tou went back to the room.

When he opened the door, he saw Yang sitting in the room, talking to Hu Xiaomeng, and the table on the ground was filled with gift boxes.

"Here I'm back!" Yang looked up and saw him coming in.

"Stone, come quickly, come quickly, great news, the emperor issued an order to give my mother a first-rate imperial title, and gave so many things!"

Hu Xiaomeng got up and took his arm, then his nose wrinkled, with a faint smell of alcohol. Yes, too, how can you not drink the palace banquet?

Yang's face turned slightly red. Twenty years ago, because her husband was a first-rank general, she also had the title of a first-rank imperial decree on her body, but now she has been awarded the first-rank imperial decree by her son's light.

"Mom, you're finally here to end your hardships!" Shi Tou narrowed his eyes and held Yang's hand. Today, the emperor's words were told by Wu Waihu that he had given everything he had given to him. If he had some bad thoughts, he could take them all back!

But Shi Tou sighed in his heart. He had no extra thoughts when he took this step. Just as he said, he is Ouyang Zimo's son, and he has his blood on him. How could he be content with the countryside?

Yang nodded, "I don't care whether my mother has a title or not, I only care about your safety!"

Hu Xiaomeng said, "Mom, we will definitely be safe."

"Well, we will all be safe and sound. Come on, let's clean up - move!" Shi Tou suddenly said.

"Moving?" The two women looked at him with an unknown expression.

"The emperor has given the General's Mansion, and there are a hundred servants, mothers, and daughters-in-law. From today on, you don't have to reach out to do things anymore, just let's serve you! It's New Year's Eve tomorrow, we'll move over, and we'll be together lively..."

——

When everyone walked into the general's mansion in the evening, Yang came from behind him with painful cry.

It turns out that this general's mansion is the general's mansion of Ouyang Zimo, which was abandoned twenty years ago, and the old house of the Ouyang family!!

Yang's tears couldn't stop. There were too many memories of her here, and the worst thing was that the general's mansion had almost returned to his old house. Even Ouyang Qingfeng's eyes were wet!
