Chapter 213 Guarding the Lights of Ten Thousand Houses
Cao Ying's matter was settled, and Yang Xuan was relieved of half of his worries.
"The husband forgot to find a position for himself." The old thief had a headache, because Yi Niang told him when she came that the husband can be kind to a woman sometimes. You should take good care of it. If the husband is thin-skinned, he will not be able to find a position for himself.
If you have the nerve to seek a life for yourself, just remind him.
If she goes wrong on errands, Yi Niang will definitely roar when she gets back.
Why!
Woman!
My third wife is better, but why doesn’t my third wife want to take another look at me?
"Don't be in a hurry." Yang Xuan said: "Luo Cai knew well that if he went to review with Lao Cao's position, he would definitely be blocked. He passed Lao Cao's job first, and then mine, which can be regarded as another kind of trial.
Let’s defeat each one.”
"Old thief, shall we eat pig meat today?" Wang Laoer squatted beside him with a salivating look on his face, "I haven't eaten it for a long time..."
"No pig meat." When the old thief arrived in Chang'an, he naturally did not need to go to Chang Sanniang to support him.
But what makes him even more sad is that after Lang Jun was promoted this time, he became farther and farther away from Chang Sanniang.
My third wife!
The old thief sniffed and felt a little sad, "Lang Jun, where is Liang Jing..."
Yang Xuan shook his head, "As a human being, you must first stand up for yourself."
…
"The position of Taiping County Magistrate has been decided, Cao Ying."
Liang Jing paid attention to this matter, and his men went to inquire about the news. "Luo Cai and Zheng Qi also took action, and Zheng Qi was completely defeated."
Liang Jing didn't care about the fight between the two old men, he only cared about Yang Xuan.
"He has a relationship with Luo Cai?"
The subordinate shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."
"Then what does he mean? Is it because of what happened last time that there is a gap between you and the empress?"
Liang Jing tried to figure out Yang Xuan's thoughts, and his subordinates advised him: "Why do you need to think so hard about a county magistrate? If he doesn't like it, just leave it alone. There will be times when he regrets it."
"You don't understand." Liang Jing narrowed his eyes, "Why did Yang Songcheng try so hard to pave the way for Xu Guogong Zhang Chumao? There is no shortage of civil servants in the family of four surnames, but there are few military generals."
"But generals are useless! Unless..."
The subordinate slapped his cheek lightly and said, "You are rude."
Liang Jing said calmly: "If you want to have a solid foundation, you must be able to speak in the court. The court is not just about civil affairs, military affairs are also important. But those famous generals are not willing to rely on the empress, and they can only train themselves. Yang Xuan
He became famous at a young age and won many battles in northern Xinjiang. If you don't win over such a talent, how can you win over those rich and powerful children who only know how to gild?"
The subordinates were sincerely convinced and said, "Good meeting, Mr. Lang."
"Go and ask."
Yang Xuan is currently in the Imperial College.
"Earlier, many people came to the house to explore the possibility of marriage. Aweng and Aye were as dazzled as picking out goods, watching the powerful children as if they had found a treasure."
Zhou Ning sat behind the desk, holding a volume of medical books in his hand, and said slowly: "They chose a descendant of the Yang family for me, but I refused. After making a fuss, I came to the Imperial College."
Of course Yang Xuan would not be stupid enough to ask you why you refused.
"I have to thank God."
Zhou Ning asked curiously: "Why?"
Yang Xuan said piously: "The Yang family is so powerful. If God had not destined you and me to be married, how could we be where we are today."
Zhou Ning's face turned slightly red.
Because Yang Xuan shamelessly held her little hand and said sincerely: "A Ning."
"Um!"
"I'm pretty good at judging people."
"Well!" Zhou Ning raised his head curiously, "Then look at me."
Yang Xuan looked at it carefully, "I knew you were mine as soon as I saw it."
"Shameless!" Suzaku roared in his ears, "You should say that the night is long and I have no intention of sleeping. When she asks why, you just say that I just want to sleep with you!"
Time with your sweetheart always flies by.
Yang Xuan then went to Ning Yayun's place.
"Sacrifice wine."
"What's the matter?" Ning Yayun was tuning the piano.
"Sacrifice wine, I have something to do."
"What's the matter?"
"Just... how about pretending that I have never been to the Imperial College to study?"
"Huh!?" Ning Yayun raised her head.
"Ahem!"
An Ziyuyi stood outside the door and said calmly: "The ancestors of metaphysics are so unruly. There are three recorded marriages between students and their teachers."
Ning Yayun let go of her hand and the strings bounced back. In the voice of an immortal, he asked: "Who?"
An Ziyu said angrily: "Of course it's Zhou Ning! Is there a second one suitable for him?"
"Zhou Ning?" Ning Yayun said.
Please give me a word!
The fact that a student fell in love with his husband would cause a sensation within the Imperial College. Yang Xuan must first come to Ning Yayun to give them a buffer.
Ning Yayun said lightly: "I am a metaphysic and never care about these things. Why do we need so many restrictions? Freedom and ease are what I pursue!"
Later, Yang Xuan left.
An Ziyu lamented: "I am really touched when I see young people liking her so simply."
She began to sob.
“So touching!”
Ning Yayun said calmly: "That is Zhou's daughter."
An Ziyu wiped away her tears and said fiercely: "So what about the Zhou family? Can the Zhou family's daughters only marry the children of the fourth surname of the same family? If they dare to come to the Imperial College to make trouble, they will be beaten to death and thrown out!"
"Don't be impulsive."
"Then break the legs!"
"Hey!" Ning Yayun felt tired.
"Sacrifice wine." Someone came outside the door.
Ning Yayun raised her head and smiled: "Zhou Ning!"
An Ziyu's eyes shone, "Zhou Ning, come in."
Zhou Ning didn't know why, and when he came in, he was pulled by An Ziyu and asked.
"Has Yang Xuan ever held your little hand?"
"Ah!" Zhou Ning suddenly blushed like a piece of red cloth, "How did you know?"
An Ziyu said proudly: "You're here for this too, right? You're worried about the wine sacrifice and my objection."
Zhou Ning nodded.
"There is love and justice." An Ziyu praised: "It's just that Yang Xuan came first."
If you like someone, you will always consider everything for him or her.
So he has been here?
An inexplicable emotion made Zhou Ning extremely happy.
Ning Yayun waved her hand and played the piano.
The sound of the piano is long and lingering, as if two men and women are holding hands and looking at each other.
Gradually, the sound of the piano is filled with joy...
…
Yang Xuan knew that he should get out.
He went to the Ministry of Personnel first.
"Do you want to go back to Chang'an?" Luo Cai had a good impression of him.
"I still want to go back to Northern Xinjiang."
"Why?"
"The Northern Liao Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful, and the Tang Dynasty needs someone to guard the Northern Xinjiang."
Luo Cai sighed, "I know best in the official department. Regarding Northern Xinjiang, many people just want to be gilded. No one wants to guard the border, and no one wants to fight for the Tang Dynasty... Oh!"
"Luo Shangshu."
"Um!"
"Actually, there are still some."
"I know, but not much!"
"Luo Shangshu, in fact, starting from Huang Xianggong, down to the petty officials and soldiers below, some of them have no way to leave Northern Xinjiang, but more people are unwilling to leave Northern Xinjiang."
"During the Great War in Northern Xinjiang, Xiaguan led the Taiping Army and was incorporated into the Zuo Yuhou Army. During his free time, Xiaguan talked to a general. He said that his family had found a way for him to go to Southern Xinjiang or to Zhechong Mansion elsewhere, but
But he refused."
"The subordinate asked him why he didn't go."
"He said that when he came to northern Xinjiang, he was full of complaints and wished he could fly back to Guanzhong the next day."
"The first battle was the siege of Beiliao. He saw those comrades rushing forward risking their lives. Even though the enemy force in front was strong and they would definitely die if they went there, they still refused to take a step back. He was puzzled and asked
Got a comrade."
"My colleague didn't say anything. In the second battle, my colleague was hacked to death with knives. Before he left, he just looked at a certain place in the city. He looked back and saw that it was my colleague's home..."
"After the war, he went to his colleague's home with his pension and looked at his wife and children... He told his subordinates that from that moment on, he knew why he was fighting."
Luo Cai looked at Yang Xuan.
Waiting for this answer.
Is it for the Tang Dynasty, for His Majesty, or for something else...
Yang Xuan said: "He said, for his homeland."
…
"Lang Jun, there is news from the official department."
"What's the news?" Liang Jing was drinking with a few friends.
"Yang Xuan went to Northern Xinjiang."
Liang Jing put down his wine glass and asked lightly: "Where? What's your position?"
"Chenzhou Sima."
Liang Jing smiled heartily, "I should congratulate Zitai."
He immediately entered the palace.
"Nothing." The imperial concubine said lightly: "Young people should always have some tempers. This time he was troubled by me. If it hadn't been for the rebound in Northern Xinjiang, he would have been exiled this time. In such dangerous times, we did not
If it were you who took action, would you have a temper?"
Liang Jing smiled and said: "No wonder. If he comes to talk, we can find him a position in the Sixth Ministry, or a county magistrate in a prosperous place. He will come to Chang'an after a few rounds...then he can be appointed as a doctor and have a glimpse of it.
High position. He would rather not have such a great future, and he really has a bad temper, hahahaha!"
Later, Liang Jing went to find Yang Xuan.
"Where do I get my resentment from? Brother Liang is joking." Yang Xuan smiled bitterly.
"Really not?"
"Really not."
Liang Jinghui felt unhappy when Yang Xuan knew he didn't want something. He wanted to keep a certain distance from the Liang brothers and sisters, but he couldn't completely let go of the stigma of being a noble concubine. So he said: "I have something here that I would like to ask Brother Liang for help.
"
There was a bright color in Liang Jing's eyes.
"Just say it!"
"I heard that Brother Liang is the largest Shu Brocade merchant?"
"That's right." Liang Jing's brother and sister were originally from Shu. After the imperial concubine rose to prominence, Shu Brocade also developed to an astonishing level. Naturally, Liang Jing would not let go of this huge fortune and immediately took most of the share.
Yang Xuan said: "Northern Xinjiang is poor, can you give me some Shu brocade?"
After Liang Jing left, the old thief said angrily: "This is the noble man. When Lang Jun was in danger, they sat back and did nothing. When Lang Jun came forward, they took advantage of the situation to show kindness and wanted to win people's hearts."
"I have long said that I want to stay in Northern Xinjiang, but why don't they always believe me?" Yang Xuan smiled helplessly.
"Lang Jun, will there be any estrangement between you and the imperial concubine brother and sister this time?"
Yang Xuan glanced at the old thief, "As the saying goes, to be a human being, you must first stand up on your own. If you want to rely on others to help you along the way, that's nonsense. If I ask Liang Jing for help in everything, what do you think he will think?
I?"
The old thief is not lacking in experience, "He will regard the husband as a subordinate."
"This time is a lesson." Yang Xuan said: "People with four surnames in the family used me to attack the imperial concubine because I saved the imperial concubine."
"Lang Jun, it's useless to alienate these brothers and sisters!" The old thief smiled bitterly.
"It's of no use, but if I want to make strides in my official career, I must let the world know my thoughts. If I blindly rely on my siblings for promotion, the higher I go, the more risks I will face!"
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "This time I am the one who is in trouble. The brothers and sisters owe me. I don't say anything, so I will keep the favor. The more upstarts you are, the more taboo you will not be rewarded for your merits or repay the kindness. Keep it.
talk about it later."
"You don't think Liang Jing and I are brothers, but you have to know that Liang Jing used to hang out with those evil young rangers, and he would just come in and make fun of me. He was looking at my value!"
"If I don't have much use for these brothers and sisters, then look at Liang Jing's attitude towards me."
The old thief scratched his head, "Lang Jun's words seem to be spoken by a man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life."
Yang Xuan smiled.
When he was in Xiaohe Village, he saw a lot, but he couldn't understand it at the time. Now those experiences have gradually turned into wealth, feeding back his experience.
"It is inevitable that there will be ups and downs in a person's life. When there are ups and downs, it is easiest to see the warmth and warmth of the world. People's hearts are constantly changing."
Before leaving, Zhao Sanfu came over once and they had a drink.
When he was slightly tipsy, Zhao Sanfu mentioned something.
"The Emperor's side made a scene in the palace. I don't know why."
Li Yuan's old dog... Yang Xuan pretended to be casual and asked: "The Supreme Emperor is still alive?"
"Of course he is alive!" Zhao Sanfu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "But no wonder you are so confused. The Supreme Emperor said that he was in poor health and was recuperating in the palace. He didn't even come out on New Year's Day."
Yang Xuan said sincerely: "I hope the Supreme Emperor can live a long life."
"Zitai, when did you become so loyal?" Zhao Sanfu felt that Yang Xuan was a little strange.
"I've always been like this." Yang Xuan looked upright.
"Hey! I believe you are evil!"
The two of them were half drunk, Zhao Sanfu sang songs about the frontier fortress, and Yang Xuan banged the bowl.
"When you become a general, I will also be able to take charge of the mirror. Zitai, do you still remember our oath?"
Yang Xuan nodded.
Zhao Sanfu drank a glass of wine and said, "I am responsible for guarding the lights of these thousands of houses."
"You and I encourage each other!"
The two of them hooked their shoulders and smiled.
It's so good to be young... The old thief was recalling his green years by the side.
Wang Laoer was eating meat without any worries, and he was eating happily.
…
From the expectations when sowing to the hard work during farming, everything turns into the longing for a good harvest in autumn.
There are harvest scenes everywhere in Chenzhou.
In Taiping, Cao Ying led the officials around to inspect the harvest.
"Those lonely old people must be taken care of, and all the new prisoners must be driven out to help them harvest." Cao Ying adopted Yang Xuan's method.
Farmers basically work as a family, with the adults harvesting and the children playing around or helping. The dogs at home are also infected by the joy of their owners and run back and forth in the fields.
A farmer looked up in the direction of Chang'an and said, "When will the Ming Dynasty return?"
Not only the Taiping people were thinking about Yang Xuan, Liu Qing and others were also talking about him.
During the harvest season, Liu Qing also led his officials to various places.
"Your Majesty, the harvest is good this year!" Lu Qiang said happily.
"That's good." Liu Qing clapped his hands, "The Taiping side hasn't been decided yet?"
Lu Qiang said: "Chun Yujian abandoned the city and fled. We still have to argue about it, but it's almost done."
Shuqi brought news.
"Cao Ying is the magistrate of Taiping County!"
"Okay, Taiping has settled down." Liu Qing knew that what Taiping needed most was policy continuity. Cao Ying's successor was naturally Xiao Gui and Cao Sui.
"Where's Yang Xuan?"
This question is swirling in the minds of many people.
"I must have gone to a good place." Han Li said to his confidants in private.
"I'm afraid I'm leaving." Lu Qiang was also a little sad.
A feeling of desolation made Liu Qing very uncomfortable.
"Just leave."
"If there is no official position suitable for him in Chenzhou, will he go to Taoxian County?" Lu Qiang guessed.
Liu Qing was irritable thinking about it, and he slapped the case a few times, "I don't care."
A clerk came outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Chang'an has arranged for a Sima."
Liu Qing suddenly burst into flames, and his roar echoed throughout the state.
"Chenzhou already has Bie Jia, so why should Sima do it? I, Chenzhou, are not a place of retirement, so I will go where I came from!"
In the state's official system, Biejia and Sima belong to the rank of sergeant. They seem to have lofty status, but neither of them have specific duties. In other words, Biejia and Sima sit in the room on duty every day with a cup of tea and a book. Can sit for a day.
When Lu Qiang has something to do, it is given by Liu Qing. In other words, if the governor does not give you face, you will have nothing to do all day long.
A man walked in and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I also want to return to Taiping, but I don't have any land in Taiping!"
