Chapter 35 A Team of Officers and Soldiers
The empire rewards farming and weaving and encourages population childbirth. Girls have reached the legal standard of marriage at the age of fourteen, and Chen Sheng is sixteen this year and is at the age of getting married. Wei Liao saw that although Chen Sheng was young, his personality was as calm as a young man in his twenties and thirties, and he should consider starting a family and starting a career. However, the master and apprentice wandered all the way and had no place to live, so Wei Liao never mentioned this. Now that he saw that his disciple seemed to have a partner he admired, he was naturally happy to do good things.
Chen Sheng was shocked by the teacher's words. Although he had a heart of twenty-five or twenty-six years old, his body was still a teenager. In his previous life, he had just passed the legal age of the Law on the Protection of Minors. Getting married? What a joke?! Besides, in this world, three wives and four concubines are not illegal, and he still wants to enjoy a good life. This girl has a big temper. If she is a jealous person, then there will be a lot of trouble.
Chen Sheng immediately refused and said a lot of upright words, such as not having a good career, and saying that the two have a huge difference in identities, even if he is interested in someone else's little girl, he may not like it. However, from his words, Wei Liao was even more certain. This "natural saint" student really fell in love with the little girl of the Ling family at first sight.
Wei Liaoyan agreed with Chen Sheng's words, but some of them were very contemptuous. Although the little girl of the Ling family had a good status in the family, it was not a special thing for him. He was once a lieutenant of the Empire, and it was not a big deal to hire a business daughter for his students. Not to mention just a business, if the powerful ministers in the center of the Empire's power knew that he had two unmarried students, they would sell their unmarried daughters and granddaughters and marry him. You must know that Wei Liao only accepted two students before, one was the emperor's confidant, responsible for the empire's secret intelligence collection, and the other was the current emperor.
The center of the empire is actually a complex network of relationships, which largely relies on blood ties as the hub.
For example, the brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi were both the emperor's childhood friends. The Meng family was a loyal and kind person for generations of the empire and one of the cornerstones of Qin. The emperor had instinctive trust in him and regarded him as the most reliable confidant. In contrast, there were General Wang Jian and Grand Marshal Wang Ben. The father and son led the imperial army and expanded the territory for the empire. The emperor was not afraid of the two men's achievements as a shock to the emperor. The reason was that Wang Jian was the emperor's teacher when he was young and was deeply trusted by the emperor. For example, Prime Minister Li Si, his sons were all imperial princesses and were in-laws with the current emperor. The eldest son is now the county magistrate of Yingchuan County. The emperor is against the emperor.
He was relieved that the deputy prime minister Feng Quji and the censor Feng Jie were father and son, with outstanding military achievements and the family was the pillars of the empire... Now, in addition to the emperor's supremeness, the court is basically the sphere of influence of the four major families. Each major family has expanded its influence and excluded other forces, which requires more strength to be drawn. People like Wei Liao who can influence the emperor's decisions and are also the targets they win over. Wei Liao's students, the emperor's junior brother, once they enter the official position, have the emperor's senior brother, and the future is not limited.
Chen Sheng, who was not familiar with the relationship between the power center of the empire, naturally did not know the influence of his teacher, nor did he know that he was a hot commodity or a thorn in the eyes of these powerful ministers. Naturally, he would not understand that in the past few days, someone had turned his attention to him in the empire's power center. Of course, all of this was intentional or unintentional arrangement by Wei Liao.
...
"Beauty, what's your name..." This voice has been lingering in Ling Suyun's heart. This is the first time in 16 years that someone has bluntly said that she is a beauty, and... and she said it so frivolously in front of everyone. Thinking of this, Ling Su was so angry that she was so angry that she was Ling Suyun? Is she the kind of person who can let the Dengpai bully her? If she hadn't been out, the batch of goods she was escorted was too important and could not cause any trouble, otherwise she would have taught the Dengpai a lesson.
"Hmph, if I see you in the future, I won't let you live so well." Ling Suyun raised her fist and said hatefully.
The same idea as Ling Suyun was that her cousin Ling Fengdu was ordered to ban the alcohol by her cousin, several slaves got into his car and moved all the good wine he regarded as life. He became more and more angry along the way, venting all his resentment on Chen Sheng.
"Good boy, I won't let you have a good life!" A glimmering color flashed in Ling Fengdu's eyes, and then he said fiercely: "Ling Suyun, don't be arrogant. When you arrive at the place, I see how you die! Like that smelly woman, I want to be the patriarch of my Ling family. Based on the countless wealth, I think it's so beautiful!" Ling Fengdu's eyes were even more vicious.
Just as Ling Fengdu was cursing in a low voice, the carriage suddenly stopped. Ling Fengdu was so scared that he thought someone had heard the words behind him. He trembled all over, and after a while, he asked the coachman outside: "Why did you stop?"
The coachman replied, "Young Master, Pengcheng has arrived, and the government is verifying Guanwen."
Hearing this, Ling Fengdu's eyes lit up. A poisonous trick came out of his mind. He got out of the car door and said to the coachman: "Old Wu, help me do something..."
After changing into clothes, the bandits all smiled happily and walked slowly towards Pengcheng in their carriages. Although Pengcheng was prosperous, there were few pedestrians on the road during this icy and snowy time, but it was very quiet.
However, the quietness was quickly broken. In the direction of Pengcheng, a team of officers and soldiers, fully armed, rushed towards this side, with murderous aura.
When Ji Bu saw the officers and soldiers, he felt a trembling heart. He had been engaged in the career of bandits for many years and had a natural fear of the officers and soldiers. He immediately stopped the carriage and turned around and said to the carriage: Master, young master, there is a large group of officers and soldiers in front of him. It seems that he was coming for us!"
When the bandits saw the arrival of the officers and soldiers, they were panicked and began to get restless. After only one day of practice, everyone naturally felt uneasy when they saw these officers and soldiers.
Chen Sheng poked his head out of it and cursed with a smile: "What are you afraid of? You are no longer bandits, why are you afraid of them?" Looking around for a while, seeing that all the brothers were all in fear, Chen Sheng was angry and funny, thinking that with just a little courage, he would dare to come out to be a bandit? These guys are too amateur, right? He was very puzzled, why did Ji Bu and his bandits survive to this day.
