Chapter 1013 The Next Generation Lord of Northern Xinjiang
In the early morning, Yang Xuan slowly woke up.
The drizzle falls gently on the roof tiles, making a faint sound.
He closed his eyes, surrounded by his wife's familiar breath and the warmth where his body touched. The rain falling outside sounded like the gentle breeze blowing through the branches and leaves.
The whole Tao County is still sleeping.
Yang Xuan stood up slowly, and Zhou Ning moved beside him.
"Zitai." Zhou Ning glanced at him, "Why are you up?" "I can't sleep, please sleep a little longer."
As an old married couple, naturally there is no need to engage in false pretenses. "Okay!"
Zhou Ning likes to fall asleep the most, half-awake and half-awake, listening to all kinds of sounds outside, but not feeling noisy. It's like another person is watching and listening to the world, which is a wonderful feeling.
But Yang Xuan was different. When his mind woke up from his sleep, things came out involuntarily.
He was used to thinking. Once he thought about one thing, the next thing would follow one after another. It was as if there was a door outside his mind and all these things were neatly arranged outside.
Occasionally, things would come flooding in, making his mind stop and make him restless.
At that time, Yang Xuan would feel that he was doing something wrong. He could throw those problems out, but he didn't want to stop.
It seems that not thinking means being unprofessional and a waste of time.
He thought about it for a while, studied it with Suzaku, and came to the conclusion that he was a little anxious.
Yang Xuan has seen the consequences of anxiety disorder and has some headaches. But fortunately, he only has mild symptoms at present. - The past is history, and the future is yet to come. What are you struggling with?
Suzaku said.
Yang Xuan took a deep breath and let his mind go blank for a moment. He walked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind his back.
The first thing today.
Luo Cai had already come back and was pondering over the list of officials in Northern Xinjiang. Yang Xuan didn't ask him what he had learned from his inspection. Not asking was both trust and pressure.
There is no need to put too much pressure on him. With Lao Luo's ability, the problems with the administration of officials in Northern Xinjiang are probably numbered now. I will look for an opportunity to have a candid exchange with him later.
Well! Throw this question away.
Yang Xuan walked down the steps, and the drizzle clung to his body and face, bringing with it some heat. Practice!
Cultivation is over, and it’s time to get up.
Yang Xuan turned around, and he didn't know when the swordsman was hiding behind him, lazily saying, "Aye!"
Ah Liang came out of the bedroom, his lips were red and his teeth were white. "A Liang!"
It's always a joy to see children. "Swordsman!"
The swordsman growled lowly behind Yang Xuan. Then, he reluctantly walked over. "Pull!"
Let your pet poop in the morning and form a routine. "Yeah, go catch the rabbit."
A Liang hugged his father's legs and begged. This day.
Yang Xuan looked up and saw that the sky was slightly green, with thin dark clouds scattered around, like a landscape painting. It wasn't raining heavily.
Thinking that he had not been active for a long time, Yang Xuan coughed dryly and said, "Ask your grandma!" "Grandma! Grandma!"
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Ning couldn't help but laugh when he heard his son yelling.
A Liang walked to the threshold and turned over with difficulty. The swordsman behind him easily crossed the threshold, but Fugui rested his chin on the threshold and looked at A Liang with a relaxed expression.
"Mom, I want to hunt rabbits!"
A Liang hugged his mother's arm and swayed without any knowledge. "Why do you want to do this?" Zhou Ning smoothed his hair for him.
"It's fun!" Yang Xuan has been busy recently and rarely takes his son out. Ning Yayun is very perseverant and takes A Liang to be taught in metaphysics every now and then.
"Go for it!"
Zhou Ning hugged her son and said with a smile.
At some point, Yang Xuan appeared outside the door, "Aning, let's go together!"
Zhou Ning shook his head, "If it's just to escape the summer heat, and go hunting, I won't be punished." "You really don't want to go?"
"Don't go!"
Yang Xuan was secretly happy, but he looked regretful. After breakfast, Yang Xuan went out with his son in his arms.
A dog and a leopard followed behind. "My lord, Duke Luo is here."
Luo Cai is here, hand
There was a thick document in the book, and his eyes were bloodshot. "Mr. Luo, didn't you sleep well?" Yang Xuan was a little worried that Lao Luo would fall.
Luo Caishen is not bad, "I sorted out the officials in Northern Xinjiang last night and sorted them out according to the states and counties. Some officials worked well together, but some had conflicts."
"Aye!" A Liang whispered, his hands not idle, pulling his father's hair to urge him.
"What are you doing?" Luo Cai was a little curious when he saw Yang Xuan wearing neat clothes and carrying a bow and arrow. "Let's go hunting together!"
Yang Xuan warmly invited Luo Cai, who shook his head and said, "I won't go."
"Go ahead! Make some game for the barbecue, and I've also brought some fine wine. Wouldn't it be nice for us to drink and talk at the same time?"
At Luo Cai's age, they most like to drink wine and talk about things. Many times, they even like to just drink wine and skip the food.
Just use the years to accompany the wine. "That's fine!"
Luo Cai went home and changed his clothes, and Yang Xuan went to Jiedushi's house to explain. "Leave some for me!" Liu Qing was somewhat moved.
Song Zhen said: "There is nothing to do today, why don't I go and have a look too!" Liu Qing said: "We agreed yesterday that we will sort out our money and food today."
"It doesn't matter if you take a day off!"
"One day's delay? How can one's work be delayed for one day?"
"Why not? The money and food are all there, and we don't have to sort them out now."
"But tomorrow has tomorrow's things. Every day piles up, and by the end, it will be busy." The two argued for a while, and when they came to their senses, they found that the boss was missing.
"Where's Zitai?" Liu Qing asked.
The clerk suppressed his laughter and said, "The Duke has left long ago."
If you don't leave, you will be attacked by two old men.
When Yang Xuan went out, even if it was just for hunting, the battle was still quite large. There were hundreds of guards and cavalry in total.
Seeing that the young Duke also came with him, the cavalrymen were particularly excited and showed A Liang some riding skills from time to time. "Aye!"
"look!"
A Liang pointed at the cavalry and clapped his hands happily. "Okay!"
Yang Xuan spurred his horse and started galloping with A Liang. "Follow me!" Lin Feibao shouted.
Luo Cai stroked his beard and looked at Yang Xuan and his son who were galloping, and said with a smile: "People and horses are like dragons, it's a good time!" He Lianrong was beside him and said: "After Luo Gong came, the Duke was very happy.
.”
Luo Cai glanced at him and said, "To be honest, the Tang Dynasty used a lot of generals, but not many in Northern Xinjiang. Some people say that the people of Northern Liao are stubborn. Even if they come to seek refuge, they will never forget their roots. So no matter what
During the periods of Pei Jiu and Huang Chunhui, it was rare to accept surrendered generals. But Zitai let you into a secret place, which shows his trust. Why?"
He became familiar with Northern Xinjiang a little bit, especially the official structure.
After the founding of the Northern Liao Dynasty for many years, the concept of family, country and world gradually deepened. The key point is that the people of the Northern Liao always had a kind of arrogance and felt that the Central Plains was their prey.
After a long time, you will overlook the Central Plains. It is difficult to surrender to such a mentality.
"Is Mr. Luo worried that the official is harboring Liao ambitions?" "Yes!"
Luo Cai nodded.
He Lianrong squinted his eyes, "When I first became an official, I vowed to create eternal peace for Liao Dynasty."
As an official, Luo Cai has seen many such stupid youths. After they are severely beaten by the officialdom, some will become old fritters, some will give up on themselves, and a very few will uphold their beliefs, even if the road ahead is difficult.
Willing to stop.
Among the latter type of people, there are very few who can use their own wisdom to avoid various whirlpools in the officialdom. These people will eventually go to the temple and become important ministers who guide the country.
"After becoming an official, the lower official encountered obstacles everywhere, and gradually realized that the world was not a good place. The lower official still refused to follow the crowd, but he learned a lot of truths. Gradually, he learned to fool his colleagues, the upper official, and gradually learned how to find a backer for the current official.
As your official position gets higher and higher, you become more and more powerless."
Luo Cai has seen many officials of this kind. Those who can pass this baptism basically have potential and are worthy of cultivation.
"Several forces in the DPRK and China are fighting against each other and treating state affairs as a means to seek personal gain, creating a chaotic atmosphere. Their actions are effective, and their people are densely populated in both the government and the public. The same is true for local officials. They are either corrupt or engaged in conspiracy.
Officials who work conscientiously will be squeezed out, but officials who are good at doing things will be promoted steadily.
The official knows that Daliao is sick and terminally ill, but the official always wants to give it a try again until he is captured by the Duke."
"So, how did you change?" Luo Cai felt that he had discovered some of the secrets of the officialdom of Northern Xinjiang.
"At first, Xiaguan wanted to die. Later, when Xiaguan learned that all his family members had been exiled to a place of death, hatred took over. Xiaguan surrendered to the Duke and only wanted revenge."
"It's human nature."
"Xiaguan entered Jinyiwei. In Jinyiwei, you can feel all aspects of Northern Xinjiang, and Xiaguan is responsible for screening, classifying and sorting the news from Northern Xinjiang. On one side is Northern Xinjiang and on the other is Daliao. Watching it every day
, the lower official gradually came up with an idea."
He Lianrong looked at Luo Cai, "The Duke wants to destroy Daliao!" "Everyone wants to," Luo Cai said with a smile.
Pei Jiu thought about it, Huang Chunhui thought about it.
"This is different." He Lianrong shook his head, "They just thought about it, but the Duke did it after thinking about it. Moreover, he seemed to be getting closer and closer to success. Luo Gong knew that at first, the official was in panic, feeling that he
The roots are gradually broken, and the floating feeling makes people feel like they are walking zombies."
"You never thought about saving?"
Those people with firm beliefs still refuse to give up their ideals even in desperate situations.
"I have thought about it, but after much deliberation and considering various possibilities countless times, I feel that Daliao will definitely be defeated!" "Definitely defeated?"
"On Ningxing's side, the emperor, Lin Ya, and the eldest princess are three pillars of conflict, and they are at odds with each other." "Didn't they say they were joining forces?"
"It is said that there is no problem in joining forces, but Mr. Luo doesn't know that he has been an old enemy for many years. Whenever there is an opportunity, he can't help but think of stabbing him. Such a combination is not pure."
*"That is to say, between Northern Xinjiang and Northern Liao, do you think Northern Xinjiang is favored?" "No, I favor the Duke!"
Luo Cai nodded, and He Lianrong held his hand, "I'll go over first." "Easy to say."
Seeing Helian Rongce go immediately, Luo Cai smiled and said: "I was worried about the loyalty of the Beiliao people in Northern Xinjiang, but unexpectedly, I was taught a lesson by them."
He wanted to test it out, but what he didn't expect was that He Lianrong actually used himself as an example to encourage him to be loyal to Yang Guogong.
But this also shows one thing. The entire northern Xinjiang is twisted into a rope, and under the leadership of Qin Guogong, it is eyeing the north.
In comparison, the pleasure-seeking dignitaries in Chang'an are like maggots. Ahead, Yang Xuan drew his bow and arrow.
"Victory!" the soldiers cheered.
Yang Xuan rode his horse over and leaned over to pick up the yellow sheep that had been hit by an arrow. "The Duke is mighty!"
Yang Xuan rode back and said to Luo Cai: "How about roasting mutton later?" Luo Wen nodded, "Okay!"
The subsequent hunting went quite smoothly, and Luo Cai even went into battle himself. However, his archery skills had not been practiced for many years, and he failed to hit the target in consecutive shots.
"I am getting old."
Luo Cai sighed and stretched out his hand to touch Ah Liang, "This is where I and Ah Liang are useless."
A Liang shook his head, refusing to let him get close to him.
Then he shouted: "Hey, hey, hey!"
He stood on the horse and waved forward. "Hey, hey, hey!"
The child's clear voice echoed in the mountains.
Luo Cai laughed and said: "This kid, do you think animals can understand? Hahahaha. Ugh!"
A running black bear suddenly stopped, turned around, and then swaggered back. "Stop!"
Lin Feibao shouted, and the sergeants turned their targets to other prey. The black bear swaggered over, and the war horse neighed uneasily. Yang Xuan's horse was okay, but Luo Cai's horse's legs were a little weak.
"Why!"
A Liang waved and waited for the black bear to come over, then stretched out his hand, "Be careful!" Luo Cai shouted, his voice trembling. This is a black bear!
A being who can scratch off half of his face with one claw.
A Liang stretched out his hand, and Black Bear looked at the ferocious face with a happy look. He stood up.
The upright black bear looked particularly breathtaking. A Liang rubbed his hand on the top of its head. "A Liang, there is no place to raise it at home."
"Ms. Yang Guo said in pain.
"Raise?" Luo Cai glanced at the swordsman. At first he thought the swordsman was the pet raised by Duke Yang, but now it seemed that it actually belonged to A Liang.
"That's right, I can't even drive you away!" Yang Xuan smiled bitterly. "No way!"
Luo Cai looked at the docile black bear like a puppy, and suddenly felt something was wrong!
Looking at history or unofficial history, we can often see various visions when noble people are born, such as the goddess scattering flowers, the phoenix defecating on the roof, and the dream dragon in the arms. In one sentence, if there is no movement when you are born, you will not go out.
It's nice to say hello to people.
But as an old ghost, Luo Cai knew that these were all fake.
But the scene that happened in front of him completely shattered his inherent cognition and three views. A child was like a king receiving his loyal warrior at this moment.
And that heart-stopping warrior is as docile as a cat at the moment. What is this?
Vision! Genuine vision! Fake nobleman. Real A Liang!
If he was just a country boy, that would be fine. He could be used as conversation material after drinking at most. But this is the son of the Lord of Northern Xinjiang, and he is the eldest son!
Look at those soldiers
A Liang patted the black bear's forehead and pointed into the distance, "Go!"
The black bear raised his head and glanced at A-Liang, clapped his two front paws, and in the eyes of outsiders, he cupped his hands, then landed on the ground and slowly walked away.
this.
Luo Cai saw those soldiers lowering their heads slightly. What were they doing? Salute!
Salute to the little Duke!
Jiedushi cannot be hereditary. This was the consensus of the monarchs and ministers when the Jiedushi system was first established. But now, this consensus has been broken by the respectfulness of the northern Xinjiang soldiers.
Oh God! The next generation of masters of Northern Xinjiang is here!
