In mid-September, when Su Ce was still anxious at home, the appointment documents for the Shenwu and Shenwei Four Armies were drafted by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War. After the three prime ministers sealed them, they were distributed by the Ministry of War to many generals.
The new Fourth Army was organized according to the Yulin Army, which was the same as the Nanya Sixteenth Guards. One army was divided into two guards, each with more than 20,000 men. However, its rank was one level higher than that of the Sixteenth Guards.
Each army has one general, Yulin/Shenwu/Shenwei, from the first rank, and a general from the second rank, all of which are fictitious.
Each guard has one general, Yulin/Shenwu/Shenwei, who is of the third rank and has a government office. He has jurisdiction over the five prefectures in the front, back, left, right and center.
In addition to these military command positions, each guard has one Sima, who serves as a chamberlain in the palace, starting from the third rank.
There is a long history person, who is in the sixth grade. He is in charge of judging the various Cao Cao, the five prefectures, the salary of the foreign prefectures, the soldiers, the number of the legions, the equipment, the number of chariots and horses. He is specialized in small things. Every autumn, he praises the general's exams.
.
There is a person who records affairs and participates in the military affairs, starting from the seventh rank. He is in charge of the affairs of the Cao Cao and the five prefectures, and the foreign prefectures, and the sentences are copied and printed on paper and pen.
Cang Cao was a member of the military affairs department, starting from the seventh rank. He was in charge of civil service examinations, official affairs, salary, official residence, countryside, food, medicine, and residence of the five government officials.
Each guard has two persons of rank, who are on the sixth rank.
There are three people in the middle, who are under the seventh grade.
There are five people in Sige, who are under the eighth rank.
The five people holding the halberds are of the ninth rank.
Si rank, Zhonghou, Si Ge, holding a halberd and serving as an official of the military yamen.
Each government has one Zhonglang general, who is of the fourth rank.
The two of them, Lang, were ranked lower than the fourth rank.
There are four captains, of the fifth rank.
There are twenty school captains, starting from the fifth rank.
There are forty brigade commanders, all under the sixth rank.
There are eighty people in the team, starting from the sixth rank.
There are 400 gang leaders, all under the seventh rank.
What Su Ce is seeking is the position of chief officer of a palace in the Shenwu Army or the Shenwei Army.
Su Ce simply didn't have to wait too long.
The transfer order from the Ministry of War and the documents from the Ministry of Personnel arrived at Suzhuang. Along with them came a gold general seal of General Zhonglang, who took office in October.
In today's Daqian army, the captains, brigade commanders, captains, captains, and captains all use bronze seals, and the generals and officers use gold seals.
Although it is difficult to distinguish between brand new copper seals and gold seals in terms of color, their textures are completely different.
It is vulgar to say that gold is precious, but it is a symbol of status and status.
Su Ce's founding county uncle only used a copper seal, which means that it is still a chess piece that can be discarded.
The left guard of the Shenwu Army, General Lang, commanded 4,000 troops, and his subordinate generals and brigade commanders totaled nearly 500 people.
Su Ce, who felt that something was wrong all over his body, played with it all afternoon as soon as he got the General Seal. However, in the evening, Su Ce calmed down, and he was really a little out of sorts in the afternoon.
Being a general in the former mansion meant that Su Ce could have an official residence in Beiyuan Camp, with an office in the front yard and a living room in the backyard.
Being able to live does not mean that you can bring your family with you. This is just a temporary residence for officials in the government who are on duty.
According to the military regulations, Su Ce knew very well that the first ten days of each month was the time for his rotation, and the other two ten days were the time for the two generals to be on duty. Of course, when they are not on duty, it does not mean that they can not go, but that they are not on duty.
You can go home after a ten-day holiday.
Daqian has a break every five days, the dragon raises its head, Sheri Festival, Shangsi Festival, Cold Food Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Zhongyuan Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Xiayuan Festival, Winter Solstice Festival, Laba Festival, Xiaonian Festival
, each takes a day off.
New Year's Eve, Spring Festival and Lantern Festival are 20 consecutive days of long holidays.
Of course, if you encounter matters to be dealt with or a calling from a saint, you cannot take a vacation.
Now this valuable work is what Su Ce wants, less work, more money and closer to home.
Military affairs are handled by his own subordinates. Of course, no amount of money is attractive to Su Ce. Just Baiguojiang made Su Ce make a lot of money. He didn't see that he had spent a lot of money to buy land and build a mansion.
It was bought in exchange for cartloads of copper coins.
Being close to home was what attracted Su Ce the most. Beiyuan Camp was right next to Suzhuang on the Weishui River. It was twenty or thirty miles away and it took less than half an hour to ride a horse slowly.
However, this makes the new mansion in Chang'an City somewhat useless. The fifty miles from the north to the south of the city can only be traveled around the city. If we take the road within the city, it will take too long if the road is blocked.
"I've been watching it all afternoon and I'm still reading it, official fan!" Su Ce came out of his imagination when he heard his wife Wang Lan complaining.
"It's September, and it's getting colder. Suzhuang is close to the river. Last year, my father always had a cough. This year, our family will move to Chang'an as early as possible. It's been hard on you in the past few years. No matter how good Suzhuang is, it's just a place.
In the small village, now that the mansion in Chang'an has been built, our family has moved to Chang'an. I have asked the housekeeper to take care of Suzhuang and Nanshanzhuang, and he will take care of them." Su Ce looked at Wang Lan. After marrying into the Su family, he was first frightened because he was guarding the border.
Later I came to Chang'an and was stuck in Suzhuang all day long. Chang'an City is right next to it, but I haven't been there a few times throughout the year.
It is said that a real man has ambitions everywhere, but his family is the most important people to Su Ce.
"I'll listen to you, we'll move tomorrow! Another mischief!" Wang Lan opened Su Ce's hand on her body and looked at her husband angrily.
"It's late at night, go to sleep!" Wang Lan blew out the candle and the room became dark.
Su Ce hugged Wang Lan and just closed his eyes when he heard Wang Lan's voice: "The maids at home will become big girls in a few days, otherwise you can take them to the room. If you don't like them, I will go and tell them
, don’t delay these girls.”
Wang Lan's words and slightly trembling body made Su Ce lose his sleep instantly. There is no moral pressure to have three wives and four concubines in Da Da, and many wives will even help their husbands choose concubines.
It's just that Su Ce could never get over the hurdle in his heart. Su Ce had never considered taking a concubine.
One person, one pair, one life, this is Su Ce.
If there are many wives and concubines, who is Su Ce?
"No! I will protect you for the rest of my life!" Su Ce hugged Wang Lan tighter in his arms, and his chest instantly became moist.
Touching Wang Lan's head, Su Ce didn't say much. When he mentioned going to Chang'an just now, Wang Lan's body started to tremble slightly. Su Ce knew that this girl was worried that she would imitate those people in Chang'an City in marrying wives and concubines.
Bring it up first.
This is not temptation or generosity, but fear.
"After you go to Chang'an, you have the final say in the house. Don't mention the matter of concubines anymore. These maids in the family will stay in Suzhuang. The boys in the village have also reached the age of marrying wives, so it is just right for these maids to be naturalized."
After Su Ce finished speaking, he wiped away Wang Lan's tears with his hands. In Daqian, the person who understood Su Ce best was neither his parents nor Su Ce, but Wang Lan, who had grown up with Su Ce since childhood.
.
"Okay, don't cry anymore. You can't cry now that you're pregnant." Su Ce patted Wang Lan's head and was ready to go to sleep after hearing Wang Lan's soft and soft answer of committing suicide.
"Dad! Ride a big horse..." Listening to the beep banging on the door, Su Ce helplessly opened his eyes again.
After coaxing the big one, there is still a little one who has yet to be coaxed!
"Dudu is sleeping with us today, go down!" Su Ce opened the door, picked up Dudu, and asked Dudu's personal maid to leave.
"Ride a big horse!" Dudu, who is more than one year old, was still unlucky when talking. Now that he can walk, he can't take any time off. His favorite puppy has grown up, and when he sees Dudu, he runs away with his tail between his legs, because
Dudu always likes to grab dogs by the neck or tail and drag them away.
"Okay, ride the big horse!" Su Ce and Wang Lan looked at each other and smiled. Their daughter also had a restless temper and didn't know who she was following. Wang Lan and Su Ce both had quiet tempers. Who knew they were pregnant?
As a daughter, her noisy temper has begun to show signs.
The next morning, before the sun showed its face, the rooster in the village began to crow. Dudu and Wang Lan were still sleeping, and Su Ce was woken up.
Since joining Zhe Chong Mansion, the idiom "Crowing Roosters Dance" has become Su Ce's daily routine.
"The young lady and the young lady are still sleeping. Whose rooster, please stop crowing." Su Ce didn't get enough sleep. The beeping last night might be because Su Ce didn't take him to play with him in the afternoon. He took a nap in the afternoon and was very energetic yesterday.
After riding the big horse, he still had to listen to the monkeys. After Su Ce finished riding the big horse, he talked about the stone monkeys at the foot of the stone mountain. Only then did Dudu fall asleep.
Su Ce looked unhappy when he got out of bed, but the servants at home took Su Ce's words seriously. In a noble family, the words of the master are military orders.
When Su Ce and his guards came back from running around the school grounds, the big crowing rooster arrived on the table.
Although this meal was a bit greasy, Su Ce felt very comfortable eating it. People who lack sleep always have a good appetite.
Su Ce had no idea how the crowing rooster got to the table.
However, the money is always a chicken, and the bankers can't wait for the master's servant to come to their house every day to catch it.
It is said that it is a move, but it is the servants who are busy. The new mansion in Chang'an City has been repaired long ago, and there is no shortage of things. Su's father and Su's mother naturally moved to Chang'an with their son. Suzhuang is naturally not as beautiful as Nanshanzhuangzi, nor is it as beautiful as Chang'an.
The grandeur of the new mansion in the city was just Su Ce's helpless place to stay.
Compared with Su Ce back then, Su Ce now has the confidence to stand firm in Chang'an City, so naturally he will not stay in Suzhuang.
The personal guards cannot take them away. The servants who follow are all the nephews of the old people who followed Su Ce. The maids in the new mansion are also the daughters and nieces of these old people. They are said to be serving people, but in fact the five members of the Su family have never regarded them as
My servants, the servants and maids who went to the new mansion this time are all trustworthy. In the past, Suzhuang was mixed with some sand. Li Changyi, who was born in Peony Guards, started to remove the sand one by one. Those households in those days "
It's this sand that's being moved away.
Where there is light, there is darkness. No one is a white lotus. Su Ce "met" Li Chang. At that time, no one was available, but now Li Chang is the one who wants to return. Even if he still has a job, as long as Su Ce does not seek death, the Peony Guards will
Li Chang will not be enabled.
What Su Ce gave Li Chang was not wealth, status or trust, but freedom.
The Peony Internal Guard may seem majestic, but it is not a lifelong bond. Now Li Chang can use his identity as Li Chang to express his identity as a human being, and his wife and children can live like ordinary people. They no longer have to be shadows in the dark. This is also what Li Chang
Very lucky.
"Alang, we're here!" The person driving Su Ce's car was Li Chang. If there were no business matters, what Li Chang could do for the Su family would never be done by others. Although Su Ce had said several times, Li Chang would
It doesn't have to be like this, but Li Chang always goes in the left ear and out the right ear.
Whenever Su Ce talks about Li Chang, Li Chang always refutes Su Ce with stories about ministers bullying their masters. In Li Chang's stories, bullying the servants of the master's family always has no good results, but Li Chang is in harmony with the master's family.
Those who were bloodthirsty, in the Spring and Autumn Period, would have been treated as retainers. As a retainer, working for the master's family would only be an honor, not a humiliation.
Unable to defeat Li Chang, Su Ce stopped talking.
The happiest thing about changing to a new place is Dudu. Children always like new things.
In the evening, Su Ce's family of five sat at the main table. There were two tables in the yard outside the main hall. The cook was Li Chang's wife, Li Zhang. I don't know how Li Chang got it back then.
Such a wife who is both good at cooking and knowledgeable.
She has always cooked three meals a day for Su Ce's family, and it has not changed since Li Chang became a housekeeper. Li Chang said that he does not trust the food cooked by others.
Although Su Ce has no enemies, he must take precautions against anything. Every time before serving a meal, Mrs. Li Zhang will take a bite first and then give it to the cat in the kitchen. If nothing happens to the cat and the person, Mrs. Li Zhang will
He will put the food in the food box and deliver it to the table. Like his husband Li Chang, these things are never left to others.
In addition to taking care of Dudu, Su's father and mother Su usually hang out in Zhuangzi at other times. Now that they have arrived in Chang'an City, the old couple has prepared to go to Guanli to burn incense tomorrow.
Li Chang's son was always taught by Su's father. Although Su's father did not pass the exam, he learned calligraphy well after recovering from an injury. Now Li Chang's son is learning with him.
Butlers are not one generation, they are passed down from generation to generation.
"Hungry, let's eat!" Dudu sat on the high chair and leaned on the table. Today's meal was much richer than in the past.
The young master spoke, and everyone picked up their chopsticks. Li Chang took a wine glass and shouted angrily into the main hall: "It's a great joy to move into a new house, and we congratulate Alang!"
Su Ce stood up with the wine glass in hand, and said outside the hall without leaving the main hall: "Congratulations to the Su family!"
"Congratulations to the Su family!" People at both tables in the courtyard raised their glasses to congratulate each other. The maids walked around inside and outside the main hall, adding food and rice, with smiles on their faces.
When encountering a happy event, no matter where it is, the best way to celebrate it is with good food and wine. Tonight's meal is to celebrate the Su family's official move to Chang'an.
In the evening, Su Ce only had a few glasses of wine with Su's father, and the servants outside the main hall also drank a little. Although most people like wine, getting drunk and getting into trouble is an iron rule engraved in the heart of Fu Bing. As for the servants, they are also in Fu Bing.
Influenced by my father's background, I like to drink, but I don't want to get drunk.
After finishing the first meal in the new residence in a lively manner, everyone except the maids and servants who were keeping watch in the front and backyard fell into a dream.
However, two uninvited guests came at night. The entire backyard of the Su Mansion was designed with complex twists and turns. Thin wires and copper bells would be hung up after nightfall.
As soon as the two uninvited guests landed and walked a few steps, the thin strings were kicked off. As soon as the bell rang, they were discovered by the maid who was watching the night. The seemingly weak maids had learned from their fathers the deadly skills on the battlefield.
The move is to lift up the masonry and wooden boards, reach out with a horizontal knife, and pull hard on one end of the hemp rope that leads from the hut to each courtyard.
Holding a knife, he walked slowly to meet his sisters.
In an instant, in the row house where the servants were sleeping in the front yard, a copper bell rang. The night watchman took the bell off the hemp rope, then opened the door of the row house and called the others.
No one shouted loudly, and the cabinet next to the bed was opened, and a bar knife was neatly placed on the wooden shelf in the cabinet.
At the same time, Su Ce and Su's father were awakened by the sound of the bell on the bedside almost at the same time. They opened the cabinet at the foot of the bed almost at the same time and walked in with their wife.
Su Ce held Wang Lan in one hand and the horizontal knife taken from the wooden frame on the wall in the other, and walked down the steps of the secret passage.
Walking down the steps, there was the darkroom. Here, Su Ce and Wang Lan saw Father Su and Mother Su, who looked equally nervous. Dudu's personal maid was holding Dudu, who was wrapped in a small quilt. The maid's movements just now were very neat, Dudu
She is still sleeping soundly. She is the most skilled among all the maids, but it is a pity that she is not a man, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before she can make great achievements.
The maid keeping watch in the dark room lit several lanterns.
"Go to the front yard first!" Wang Lan took Dudu from the maid, and the seven of them walked a few hundred meters without looking back along the secret passage that could accommodate three people side by side. It was still a dark room.
"Alang, the servants from the front yard have gone to the backyard." Li Chang saw that Su Ce and the others were fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said.
"Catch them alive!" Su Ce said three words coldly.
In less time than a cup of tea, a maid came down the steps. Su Ce looked at the maid named Li Erniu thoughtfully. The maid was holding a barrier knife in her left hand and a horizontal knife in her right hand, as if she was the Peony Guard.
Exactly the same, but apparently Li Erniu didn't notice this and said, "Alang, steward, if we catch him, we'll all be alive."
"Take people to the rockery! Alang, sir, madam, young madam, please go back to the room first. I'll leave the two thieves to me." Li Chang tried his best to keep the matter as trivial as possible, so that he could deceive Su's mother and Wang Lan, but kept it secret.
But Su’s father and Su Ce.
However, Su's father and Su Ce nodded in tacit understanding and walked back along the secret passage. Before leaving, Su Ce glanced at Li Chang and Li Erniu meaningfully, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He was still a novice.
.
Su Ce's eyes: Li Chang, you Peony Guards are really interesting, you are a complete novice!
Li Chang: Ah Lang, don’t look at me, I’m so embarrassed!
After a brief eye contact between the two, Su Ce turned around and left. As for why Su Ce didn't go back from the front yard, it was late at night. Most of the servants were sleeping at night. When thieves attacked, they would be naked.
It looks like it can be seen by the family members in the backyard.
Watching a few people walking away along the secret passage, Li Chang said with a gloomy face to the maid who had just come down: "Take the maids back to the backyard. Don't sleep tonight and protect the backyard."
"Here!" The military salute performed by the maid was not the usual half-squatting ceremony.
Li Chang's face twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything. In the Su family, the Mudan guards installed two people. One was himself, and the other was the maid who pretended to be his cousin - Li Erniu. Of course, in Mudan
Among the internal guards, they only have code names, and only they know their real names.
As for Li Erniu's real name, of course Li Chang doesn't know it either. However, since Li Erniu was seen by Su Ce just now, it is estimated that Li Erniu's identity cannot be concealed from Su Ce. But Alang probably won't reveal it.
As for Dudu's personal maid Green Screen, she is not a member of the Peony Guard. Su Ce and Li Chang have repeatedly hinted at this. The last thing the Su family should not mess with is Dudu and Wang Lan, who are over one year old. They have been in contact with Alang for so long.
This is already the consensus of everyone.
Li Chang stopped Li Erniu from being selected as Dudu's personal maid, because Li Chang knew that if the Peony guard dared to reach out to Dudu, Su Ce would probably go to the second prince to ask for an explanation.
At the beginning, the Peony Guard assigned a total of thirteen people to Suzhuang, including two old ladies, eight maids, and Li Erniu himself.
Now, eight maids and two old ladies were left by Su Ce in Suzhuang. If Li Erniu hadn't been her cousin, the same would have happened.
Listening to Su Ce's chat on the carriage today, he planned to marry the eight Peony guards pretending to be maids to the banker. The dignified Peony guards would be the wives of the banker. I guess the second prince would be furious.
Li Chang just felt that he must be angry today, and his back molar hurt so much!
To add fuel to the fire, the arrival of two uninvited guests in the house today made the last unexposed Li Erniu appear in Su Ce's eyes. This Li Erniu was still too young to know about the other maids. Come down!
Even if you come down by yourself, can you restrain your damn knife-holding gestures? I'm afraid this girl is also a novice, so the second prince can't send anyone reliable.
With the teasing look in A Lang's eyes when he left just now, Li Chang felt that the words "peony guard" had lost their intimidating power in A Lang's heart.
The four words Peony Neiwei represent trust and distrust in Daqian. There are pros and cons. Some people are scared to death, and some people are not afraid at all. Alang is better. Not only is he not afraid, but he also uses them for fun. Although I don’t know if Alang is. It was intentional, but the result was that two Peony guards were retiring in Suzhuang, and eight more were getting married.
At this time, Li Chang recalled that back in the north, Alang was the one who led the Peony Guards to uproot the mole cricket stronghold.
Li Chang just wanted to say something with emotion: Second Prince, you have such a big heart!
But now is not the time for Li Chang to sigh. The two thieves who sneaked in late at night have not yet asked what the situation is. This is the most important thing.
However, if we follow Alang's wishes, it won't be a bad thing for the ten Peony Guards. They live a normal life with disguised identities. But for these Peony Guards who walk in the darkness, it won't be a bad thing. Not a kind of happiness.
Carrying the heavy responsibility of guarding, you have to sleep with one eye open, and even talking in your sleep is a luxury. Such a life is too hard and tiring!
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
I finally found the feeling of coding, a total of 10,000 words, five hours, the speed is not bad
