After Li Kuo was awarded the title of captain, he commanded the Suzaku Regiment with more than 300 soldiers. General Zhang Shouyu and Gao Shi, the commander-in-chief of Guidelang, successively asked the soldiers to join the army and selected the best weapons and armor for the Suzaku Regiment.
Therefore, looking at the reorganized Shence Army, the Suzaku Regiment has the brightest armor, the most powerful weapons, and the most energetic soldiers. Mr. Zhang, the general, was afraid that this young man would not be able to cope with the complicated military affairs, so he specially sent troops from his side.
Several smart and capable recordkeepers (Note 1) were selected and given to the newly promoted captain.
Li Kuo also gave important tasks to the recorders appointed by Zhang Shouyu. Whether it was the imperial newspaper issued by the imperial court or the important files in the military camp, they were all handed over to these recorders for archiving and safekeeping. These records were only those of the eighth grade and below.
How had the junior officers ever received such trust? After being flattered, they obeyed Master Li, the captain of the school, and handled the camp's literary files in an orderly manner.
Since the city siege exercise, the brave soldiers of the Suzaku Regiment have expressed their admiration for their captain, and have patted their chests and said that they will follow the captain after that. Some of the direct descendants of the New Third Brigade have experienced "actual combat" with the captain, and since then
He was admired and sought after in the regiment. Under their vigorous publicity, the captain was portrayed as a resolute, alert and responsible general. These recruits were spitting and talking, and they were tired from running around the city.
plan, talking about the astonishing surprise attack on Ximei Pancheng. All military operations were embellished by them and described vividly into short stories, and in these short stories, the hero will always be the wise and powerful captain.
Of course, there will also be some cowards who spread rumors everywhere in order to prevent chaos in the world. Most of these people are veterans of the Imperial Guard. Because they can't stand a little boy like Li Kuo leading a regiment of soldiers, they spread rumors everywhere about their own family.
The captain's official position was obtained through connections. This comment quickly angered the recruits of the Suzaku Regiment. In their eyes, their captain was an upright and responsible man. There was no room for their slander. Therefore, there was no need for a captain.
As soon as Lord Lieutenant opened his mouth, the Guardsmen, with their sledgehammers in hand, took more than a dozen brothers and sneaked into the dormitories where rumors were being spread in the dead of night and beat them severely. At midnight the next morning, the beaten soldiers looked miserable.
It was in the eyes of everyone. But because there was no evidence, they had no choice but to break their teeth and swallow it. After this incident, those people knew how powerful their captain was and no longer dared to spread rumors in the army to confuse the public.
...
It is now September, the hot summer heat has gradually dissipated, and people's hearts have sunk. After the busy autumn harvest, the fertile fields in Guanzhong are covered with yellow straw, which is really gratifying to see. Farmers who have worked hard for a year can always
Take a breath, or sit in the fields at night under the bright moon and stars, chatting with silly boys, or sit cross-legged on the earth kang and boast about this year's harvest with your mother-in-law. The buckets of grain can be
They are all the lives of the villagers. The land in Guanzhong is so oily. Otherwise, why have there been so many famines and disasters in the Central Plains that have not spread to Qinzhong? The emperor collected the imperial grain for a year and at least left it for the farmers.
The next year's rations, everyone admires this Holy Son from the bottom of their hearts. Farmers are the most contented. Whoever gives them a little hope of life, they will remember his kindness all their lives.
The farmers were relaxed, and the officials also had some free time. It was September and the clothing holiday was here again, and the big break on the 15th was a big temptation. His Majesty the Emperor had decreed, and all internal and external officials took a regular break. In the south of the imperial city
The government's Shence Army was no exception. Marshal Ge Shuhan waved his hand and happily gave everyone a long vacation. But Li Kuo was really in trouble. In his opinion, since he had joined the army, he shouldn't be worried.
To the world of flowers, Gao Shi should concentrate on studying the art of war in order to serve the imperial court. However, Gao Shi did not allow the young man to be trapped in the military camp, and accepted an invitation for him with a wave of his hand. Mrs. Guo Guo held a banquet at her home and invited all parties.
Li Xiaolang, a famous official, was deeply impressed by his outstanding performance in the court polo match, so she was willing to meet him. Li Kuo had no choice but to accept his bad luck after several attempts to shirk it. With Zhang Yanji, Zhou Wuzui and his brothers
Under the influence, he became the guest of Mrs. Guo Guo's banquet.
Since the banquet was held at home, in addition to the celebrities of Chang'an, there were also members of the Yang clan. Among them, the Minister of Rites, the Foreign Minister of Duzhi, and the Censor Yang Zhao were the pillars of the Yang clan in Chang'an, the capital. This man's every move was quite impressive.
She is calm and sophisticated, and has the bearing of a prime minister. (Note 2) Although his elder brother Yang Zhao also holds the prominent position of Hongluqing, he still relies on Yang Zhao to make the decision in everything. Although the three Yang Shus have all been granted the title of national
Madam, but after all, she is a female generation, and there are some things that are difficult to come forward. Except for Madam Guo Guo who often appears at banquets to mediate the political interests of the Yang family, the other two of them have almost no interference in the affairs of the Yang family. In this way
Since then, Yang Zhao has become the representative of the Yang family, and he represents the attitude of the Yang family whenever he comes forward.
Mrs. Guo Guo's mansion was built at the west end of Xuanyang Square. The entire mansion was grand and majestic, occupying nearly one-third of the square. Today, Mrs. Guo Guo held a grand banquet in the mansion, and the busiest thing was
It must be Yang Ping, the steward of the Yang Mansion. Although Uncle Ping is nearly fifty years old, his body is quite strong. He bowed and stood in front of the Zhuqi Mansion, welcoming him and seeing him off, which was very neat. To say that this wealthy family
It is really not easy to be a good steward of a wealthy family. For worldly utilitarianism, there will naturally be many low-ranking petty officials and candidates who come to Beijing to take the exam, and Gongsheng will come to pay homage to the family head. For such people, those who are in charge cannot be too attentive.
, and you can’t be too indifferent. If you are too attentive, you will lose your status and make the head of the family lose face. If you are too indifferent, you will lose the good reputation of the head of the family for supporting the younger generations, which is not a good thing in the Tang Dynasty where life is precious. Besides, as the old saying goes,
It’s good, don’t deceive young people into poverty. Who can predict that in a few decades, the poor scholar in front of you will be an official and a minister? He will be a farmhouse minister in the morning, and ascend to the emperor’s hall in the evening. These things can’t be predicted in the Tang Dynasty.
.Those who are in charge should be born with sharp teeth and a delicate heart. When you meet someone or say something, you should try to figure out what the master of the household means before doing anything. In this way, even if you do something slightly overlooked, the master of the household will take credit for your hard work.
There will be no further investigation.
Yang Ping still admires his family head. Since he signed the deed of betrayal and entered the Yang family at the age of sixteen, he has served two generations of Yang family heads for thirty years. Later, the old head of the family died of illness, and the Yang eldest son took over the current family.
Several ladies of the country drove out of the mansion. At that time, Yang Ping didn't know what he was thinking, but he left the mansion with several ladies. Who knows that fools are blessed, and later the fourth lady was named a noble concubine, and then several ladies also
She was granted the title of Madam of the Kingdom. For a time, one member of the Yang family became enlightened, and their chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. The distant cousins and uncles who usually avoided several young ladies shamelessly came over and recognized their relatives. After the third young lady taught them a lesson, she had no choice but to
Sighing, he recognized these rogue brothers. What could he do if he didn't do this? No matter how smart and capable the ladies are, they are still daughters. If the Yang family wants to become a wealthy family, it must be in the Tang Dynasty.
After all, it’s up to men to have the right words. (Note 1)
"Hey, Uncle Ping, Mr. Zhang is here, can you come and pick him up?" Yang Qiang, the concierge, winked at Yang Ping and reminded him softly.
"Ah!" The muscles on Uncle Ping's face twitched, and he suddenly jumped out of his deep thoughts.
"Master Zhang, Madam will be very happy if you can accept the invitation." Yang Ping stepped forward to greet him, bowed and gave him a professional smile.
Zhang Zongzheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, did not dare to accept this gift and hurriedly gave Yang Ping some face.
"Uncle Yang, what are you talking about? Mrs. Guo Guo can like me, Zhang Zongzheng, because of my blessing, how dare you bother your old man to go out to greet me." Regarding the steward in front of him, Zhang Zongzheng did not dare at all.
Offended. The seventh-rank official of the Prime Minister's Concierge, this steward of Mrs. Guo's Mansion is the number one person with real power in Yang's house. If you offend him, don't say anything else. Just say a few bad words about him, Zhang Zongzheng, in front of Mrs. Guo. It's enough for you.
Accept it. Even though he is a chief officer, maybe if Mrs. Guo Guo lifts her finger, she will be demoted to Lingnan to catch elephants. (Note 5)
Yang Ping accepted the support silently. He had been in charge for so many years and he knew the mentality of these officials in scarlet and red. The more polite you were to them, the more uneasy they became. It was better to accept his respect.
Both parties feel at ease.
"Hurry up and invite us in." Yang Ping felt very comfortable after receiving the courtesy from the waiter. However, he did not dare to neglect the distinguished guest and hurriedly invited Zhang Zongzheng into the red lacquer gate.
...
"Yanji, isn't this your grandpa?" Li Kuo shrugged and joked.
"Chang'an is so small!" Mr. Zhang Xiaolang sighed with a faint glow on his face.
Note 1: According to the "Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty", each army has one person who records affairs and participates in the military affairs, and one person who records affairs. The person who records affairs: is in charge of the general record book, which is equivalent to the current secretary.
Note 2: According to historical records, in the seventh year of Tianbao's reign, Yang Zhao held fifteen official positions such as being a member of the branch, Wai Lang, and serving as a censor. He basically became the second most powerful figure after Li Linfu.
Note 3: Mrs. Guo Guo was also canonized in this year. According to "Ch'ang'an Chronicle" and "Chengfang Kao of Two Capitals in the Tang Dynasty", the residence of Mrs. Guo Guo was built in Xuanyangfang, which was originally the old residence of Weishi.
Note 4: Let me briefly introduce the ranking of the four Yang sisters. The eldest sister is the wife of Korea, the third sister is the wife of Guo, the eighth sister is the wife of Qin, and Yang Yuhuan ranks last. Of course, this ranking includes brothers.
Went up.
Note 5: Lingnan refers to the area south of the Five Ridges in southern China, which is equivalent to the entire territory of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan, as well as parts of Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. It also includes the Red River Delta in Vietnam that was once ruled by the Chinese dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was so powerful and its territory was so vast.
ps: Liu Yun feels extremely uncomfortable today and even vomits blood, but he still resolutely writes a chapter with both hands.
