When he arrived in Taoxian County, Liu Qing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this batch of money and food.
The old man has been getting angry over money and food issues for a while now, and Zhou Ning made herbal tea to no avail.
"good!"
Liu Qing's face glowed brightly and he said: "Those 20,000 soldiers are going to work in the fields. This money and food will be enough to accommodate them. It will save a lot of money!"
"Take it easy!" Yang Xuan advised.
"I can still control three girls at night!" Old Liu's momentum was like a rainbow.
hehe!
Yang Xuan thought of the scandal a while ago and the scars that appeared on Liu Qing's face from time to time.
The grape trellis fell down more than once, and they said that the three women in the night palace must be in a dream!
He immediately found an excuse and left.
Helianyan was waiting outside.
"Diao Ji is a bachelor. After writing the story that the emperor and his father-in-law had to tell, he talked a lot about the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Yang Xuan nodded, "Keep an eye on this line yourself and nothing will happen!"
"I know."
He Lianyan was suddenly filled with emotion, "Isn't this the spy who came to our door? It can be seen that God is still involved in Mr. Gu."
Yang Xuan smiled, "Destiny?"
He Lianyan nodded, "Yes, it is destiny."
She and Jiang He'er are both hardcore and unable to rebel.
So Yang Xuan would occasionally say something out of line.
"Yan!"
"exist!"
"As a human being, don't try to be successful. The more successful a person is, the less likely he is to last."
"yes!"
He Lianyan agreed, feeling somewhat disapproving.
"But you think it's boring to be a bad person?" Yang Xuan walked out of the gate of Jiedu Envoy's Mansion.
"Yeah!" He Lianyan didn't hide anything.
"It feels so good to be successful!" Yang Xuan smiled, "Low-key is king!"
Jielong came and brought a message.
"Beiliao has sent a general to take charge of Neizhou!"
Neizhou is right in front of Peach County.
Yang Xuan asked: "Who?"
Jielong said: "Xiao Hongde, Lin Ya's brother-in-law!"
"How is this person?"
"This man is famous for his resourcefulness and is known as a wise general. He is one of Lin Ya's counselors. Lin Ya values him highly and treats him as his sister and wife."
Yang Xuan praised: "Jielong has made great progress."
Jielong was surprised, "I've been reading a lot lately."
"What books are you reading?" Yang Xuan was very concerned about his subordinates.
"Novel of Chang'an."
have to!
Still useless.
He Lianyan said: "Lin Ya's sister is a vicious woman, and all the women in Xiao Hongde's original backyard were driven away by her looking for excuses."
"What about the ones who refuse to leave?" Yang Xuan felt that there must be some true loves out there!
"They're all dead."
…
The administrative seat of Neizhou is Chengyang, with Nangui, Jianshui and Jinshan City in front of it.
This is the front line of Northern Liao facing Northern Xinjiang, and it has always been in charge of generals.
The previous one was unlucky because Nangui City was attacked by Yang Xuan and the city was completely swept away. He was recalled to Ningxing for questioning.
Xiao Hongde was not supposed to come, and Lin Ya had no such intention, but Xiao Hongde took the initiative to come.
Standing at the top of Chengyang City, Xiao Hongde, who was in his early forties, looked a little melancholy.
Peng Zhi, the staff beside him, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Look carefully, the front of Neizhou is Nangui and Jianshui. The two cities echo each other, and Jinshan City behind is waiting for an opportunity. This is a great situation!
It's a pity that that fool indulged in pleasure and was successfully raided by Yang Gou. Otherwise, Neizhou would be impregnable."
Xiao Hongde collected his thoughts and said, "Yang Gou is good at raids. Ling Nangui City and Jianshui City send many scouts. If anyone is careless, I will kill him first and then go to Shuningxing to plead guilty."
He suddenly sighed, "That poisonous woman! I finally left her."
Peng Zhi shook his head and secretly felt sorry for his boss, "If we can reconcile..."
Xiao Hongde said: "I have mentioned that the left prime minister is not allowed. He is the left prime minister. If my sister is Heli, I will feel embarrassed. But I don't want to think about the fact that I am suffering in the house every day..."
In these years, Xiao Hongde has almost always called the Yamen his home, and his diligence is known as the best in Ningxing.
Everyone in the know knew that he was trying to avoid that poisonous woman, and they were full of praise without knowing it.
"Details and stability."
Deputy General Zhao Duo pulled up and said with a smile: "The scouts have just been sent out."
Xiao Hongde nodded, "We must pay attention to the trends in Taoxian County."
"Yes, by the way, it is said that the Qing Dynasty in Northern Xinjiang sent back 20,000 old and weak soldiers to open up wasteland."
Xiao Hongde was startled, "This is... lack of food! Where is Chang'an?"
As expected, he was one of the think tanks of the left prime minister, and he hit the key point of the matter right away... Zhao Dora secretly admired her, "It is said that Liao Jin left."
Xiao Hongde unconsciously slapped the battlements, "Once Liao Jin leaves, no one will be able to restrain Yang Xuan. I thought about this man for a while and found that he is unruly and sharper than Huang Chunhui. He will not compromise with Chang'an."
In this way, Chang'an will inevitably suppress...cut off the money, food and weapons every year, this is just the beginning...good!"
Xiao Hongde turned around and said, "Prepare to travel, and be sure to destroy the land reclamation in Northern Xinjiang! As long as the food and grass are cut off, the Yang Dogs will rebel against their relatives in an instant."
Zhao Dora nodded, "But the Northern Xinjiang Army is sharp..."
"Northern Xinjiang...I remember that there is no cultivated land, right?"
Zhao Dora nodded, "He's coming to us."
In the past, northern Xinjiang was huddled in cities, but now it is good to come to the north to reclaim wasteland.
"This way, we are close!" Xiao Hongde said: "It is impossible for people who are opening up wasteland to get together, find a place, and make a surprise attack! We must prevent people from northern Xinjiang from going north to open up wasteland!
Can Yang Gou still put up defenses everywhere? This, that, is God’s will!”
Zhao Dora nodded, "As long as the raid is successful, those fools who want to open up wasteland can be frightened."
Xiao Hongde said calmly: "I have the belief that I will win, but I have to be cautious in my actions."
Zhao Dora nodded, "Don't worry, please be careful."
He immediately left to make arrangements.
Returning to his duty room, he asked people to send messages to various places, and a general was specially sent to Nangui City.
"Warn them to be cautious. If the city is breached by Yang Dog again..." Zhao Duola had murderous intent in her eyes, "Either kill yourself, or wait for Ning Xing to hang him!"
To this day, Nangui City, which was defeated by Yang Xuan twice, has become a joke in Daliao. When the government and the public mention Nangui City, they all look annoyed that iron cannot become steel.
The emperor has said that if Nangui City is breached again, he will be severely punished.
These words brought him and Xiao Hongde with them.
It is common to increase the punishment at different levels. The above said severe punishment will not be spared, but here he will suppress it - kill him!
Everyone left, and Dora Zhao made herself a cup of tea comfortably, and while drinking, she thought about the current situation.
He was just a deputy general and had no qualifications to join the team. The arrival of Xiao Hongde, Lin Ya's confidant, gave him a sense of crisis.
Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Menzi stood outside and said respectfully: "I have something to report."
Zhao Dora said impatiently: "What's the matter?"
The door came in and walked to the table.
This was rude behavior. Zhao Duola was furious. She raised her head and was about to scold him when she saw the sign in Menzi's hand.
"Eagle Guard?"
The disciple was still respectful, "Please keep the villain's identity secret."
"Countless." Zhao Duola couldn't help but feel chills running down her spine when she thought about how she had scolded her disciples the day before.
"Young man, I'm here. It's Ning Xing who has given orders, and I ask Vice General Zhao to follow them."
The order that had to be delivered through the Eagle Guard must have something to do with personnel matters.
Xiao Hongde... Zhao Dora's heart moved.
"you say."
Menzi said: "Xiao Hongde is a good man. Ning Xing means that such a good man should not marry a poisonous woman. We can also find him a good wife here. You villain, please retire."
The door is gone.
Dora Zhao took a sip of tea and suddenly said, "Pfft!"
He held his stomach and laughed wildly in a low voice, "Ouch! I have always wanted to be loyal to Your Majesty, but because of my low status, I couldn't find a way. Isn't this, here it comes? Ho ho ho!"
On the side outside the door, the door was leaning against the wall, seeming to be lazy. When he heard this, he turned around and left.
The city gates opened and teams of scouts set off.
"They first went to inquire about the information, determined the place and number of people to open up wasteland in northern Xinjiang, and waited for their move."
On the top of the city, Dora Zhao explained to Xiao Hongde.
Xiao Hongde nodded, looking much more relaxed.
Zhao Dora thought of Ning Xing's explanation and pretended to be casual: "How old is the child?"
Xiao Hongde's body stiffened, "Not big."
"Hey! When it comes to children, the official can't help but worry. There are two children in the family who are naughty and refuse to study, and the official is often worried about their future.
Fortunately, His Majesty's reward this time was to give the boss a free post, and he also gets money and food every year. Alas! Now, one problem has been solved.
Your Majesty, be merciful!"
He stole a glance at Xiao Hongde.
Xiao Hongde looked sad.
There is a poisonous woman in the house, and he doesn't even want to enter the front door.
The corners of Dora Zhao's mouth raised slightly.
"Xiang Wen, if you can foil Yang Gou's plot to open up wasteland, your promotion will be just around the corner!"
Xiao Hongde's eyes were filled with brilliance, "Yes!"
Only promotion can suppress that poisonous woman.
…
After the autumn harvest, there are activities everywhere, either parties or sacrifices, all with the same purpose, to celebrate this year's harvest.
Tao County.
Zhen Siwen, neatly dressed, led a group of sergeants to the Laoshan Gate of Metaphysics.
There are still more than ten teachers and students guarding here. After the new mountain gate in Taoxian County is completed, this place will either be handed over to the local government, or it will become a point of metaphysics.
Lu Qiang said that if metaphysics is not withdrawn, he will not give up his salary this year.
How could those lazy idiots set up a branch school?
But a messenger came from Tao County yesterday and brought Yang Xuan's order.
The Chenzhou Mountain Gate of Metaphysics continues to remain, and the professors and disciples left behind are practicing while guarding the incense of the Chung Martyrs' Shrine.
Zhen Siwen arrived outside the mountain gate. Inside, two professors and more than ten disciples were waiting.
"Coming?" the professor said solemnly.
Zhen Siwen nodded, "Are you ready?"
The professor said: "Everything is fine."
Zhen Siwen nodded, and the professors turned around to lead the way.
The sky was dim and dozens of people were walking slowly.
When you arrive at the outside of the Martyrs' Shrine, you can see the incense inside.
Zhen Siwen asked: "Is there anyone on duty at night?"
The professor nodded, "The deputy envoy said that loyal souls should not be left without support. Therefore, ever since the opening of the Martyrs' Shrine, the incense has never ceased."
Zhen Siwen walked in slowly.
A newly made tablet is placed in the middle, with incense burning underneath.
Zhen Siwen lit three sticks of incense, saluted, and said: "In the autumn of the 10th year of the Qian Dynasty, there was a good harvest in Northern Xinjiang. Yang Xuan, deputy envoy of Northern Xinjiang, was in Tao County to supervise the completion of the Zhongmartyr Shrine, and ordered Chenzhou Sima Zhen Siwen to come!"
He stood up straight and shouted: "Deputy envoy orders, all ministries, assemble!"
puff!
The incense suddenly bloomed.
Zhen Siwen was shocked.
The professor said solemnly: "The deputy envoy's order was sent to heaven!"
Zhen Siwen saluted again, "Deputy Envoy Yang ordered me to come and lead you to Taoxian County to enjoy the offerings of the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang."
He put three sticks of incense in the incense burner, saluted a third time, respectfully picked up the tablet, and turned around.
"Brothers, please come with me!"
A gust of wind swept in, and the professor changed his color and said to the professor next to him: "This is..."
The professor next to me whispered: "I read the relevant classics in the school and found that there are only two types of people who can sense heaven. One is the emperor's messenger."
"But Deputy Ambassador Yang and the emperor are incompatible."
"Second, the person whom God loves."
"The deputy envoy said that he would live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life."
"Yes! So I feel that the senior's record must be wrong."
"By the way, what is the name of a person who is urged to love by God?"
"Son of Destiny!"
…
In Taoxian County, all construction on Xinxue's new gate has been suspended, and everyone is rushing to build the Martyrs' Shrine.
"Hey!" Zhong Hui had just finished laying the tiles and flew down, sighing: "In the future, I can support myself as a bricklayer."
"Who says it isn't?"
Zhuang Xin had just come back from unloading the truck and looked at the disgraced face, "I took my boys out earlier and met a businessman who asked us if we were willing to unload the truck..."
"Just ignore him." Zhong Hui sat down and leaned against the wall, feeling comfortable all over.
Johnson said: "But when I think about it, isn't this an opportunity to make money?"
"You..." Zhong Hui was stunned, "You're not going to do it, are you?"
Zhuang Xin opened the stopper of the gourd, took a sip of wine, and said happily: "It's done. I unloaded more than ten carts of goods, bought a gourd of wine, and bought food for the disciples. Let's go tomorrow!"
Zhong Hui: “…”
Is this a free and easy metaphysical disciple?
Why does it look like a coolie?
Zhong Hui felt that this matter needed to be taken seriously, so he went to find Ning Yayun privately.
"It's not wrong to work." Ning Yayun didn't care, "When we talk about being free and easy, we're talking about cultivating one's character. It's hard to escape from the world of bitterness. Only by being free and easy, discarding all the things in the world like worn-out shoes, can one's character be strengthened.
Enter."
A disciple came over and said, "Master, the paint is dry."
"Oh!" Ning Yayun said with a smile: "That's it, let's turn it on!"
The Martyrs' Shrine has been built, but there still needs to be an opening ceremony, which is similar to a consecration ceremony.
Yang Xuan received the news.
"The leader said that in two days it will be a good day for worship."
"good."
Yang Xuan began to fast.
"Aye, eat!"
A Liang is a good and filial boy, and he and Wang Laoer asked for dried meat for their father.
"Aye won't eat."
Yang Xuan picked him up.
Jiang He'er beside him said: "Lang Jun, Zhai Zhai has to be alone!"
"If your heart is uneasy, being alone is like a river and lake. If your heart is peaceful, you can turn a blind eye even in the busy city. Fasting is about the heart."
Yang Xuan walked out of the house with his child in his arms, looked at the bustle outside, and said: "These prosperity are all obtained by those brothers who sacrificed their lives. They should let them know. Tell me, tomorrow the Martyrs' Shrine will worship the soldiers who died in the war, and Lingtao County
Soldiers and civilians sacrifice together!”
Han Ji was surprised, "Isn't this too grand?"
Yang Xuan shook his head, "People should know how to be grateful. Let everyone know that it is these people, these people whose names they do not know, who are protecting their homeland and protecting them!"
The clerks started shouting along the street.
"Tomorrow the Chung Martyrs' Shrine will offer sacrifices to loyal souls. Every household will either burn incense and offer sacrifices, or go to the gate of Xuanxue Mountain to worship together."
