The army pacified Liaodong. Yang Yuanqing appointed Sun Jiayan as the prefect of Yan County, and appointed Sima Cao Sheng as the prefect of Liucheng County. Each stationed 5,000 troops in the two counties. He also ordered all surrendered troops from Gao Kaidao to be disbanded and each returned to his hometown to farm.
Then he headed south and returned to Hebei.
In the evening of that day, the army arrived at Linyu Palace and stationed in Linyu Palace.
Luo Shixin took Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda quickly walked into Yang Yuanqing's tent, and the three of them saluted, "See the general manager!"
Yang Yuanqing was reviewing more than a dozen memorials. He put down his pen and smiled at the three of them, "The war is stopped now, the army needs rest. You can lead the army back to Taiyuan. I will also give you a month off and reunite with your family."
Stopped, and said to Cheng Yaojin again: "There is also your silver reward of 10,000 taels of silver. I keep my word, but half is the five hundred subordinates I give to you, and the other half is your reward, but not for you.
, I will give it to your wife, don’t bother me.”
Yang Yuanqing promised to capture Yuan Tai's fraudster to reward 10,000 taels of silver. Since then, Cheng Yaojin has had his worries and reminded Yang Yuanqing every few days that it has been almost twenty days since he finally got his silver reward.
As a result, it was only half.
Cheng Yaojin grinned, but did not dare to disobey, so he had to bow with a bitter face and said, "Thank you for the reward!"
Niu Jinda patted his shoulder, "It's already good, 5,000 taels! Didn't you say you even blackmailed General Luo for 500 taels of silver?"
Yang Yuanqing was stunned and asked Niu Jinda strangely: "Why extortion of 500 taels of silver?"
Niu Jinda smiled, "Last time I heard from Lao Cheng that Shixin was shot by a woman, and he took the opportunity to blackmail Shixin five hundred taels of silver."
Cheng Yaojin's face turned green and he secretly glanced at Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin was furious. The bastard took his own money and even said it out. He wanted to punch this untrustworthy guy overturned.
Yang Yuanqing laughed. It turned out that the arrow Luo Shixin was shot by Dou Shiniang. No wonder Luo Shixin was obsessed with her. He could understand it. But how could he let Cheng Yaojin know about this? Cheng Yaojin's promise would be
I believe that the sun will come out from the west, and after drinking two glasses of wine, this kid will tell any secret.
Luo Shixin glared at Cheng Yaojin fiercely and went back to settle the score with him. He asked Yang Yuanqing in a deep voice, "What the supervisor means is that you don't go back with us?"
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I'm asking you to tell you that I'm going to Qinghe County to visit Cui Family in Qinghe and set out tomorrow morning."
"Then the low-ranking positions are divided into ten thousand troops to follow the general manager to protect the general manager's safety."
"No need for this."
Yang Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand, "What else is there in his territory? I have five hundred personal guards enough!"
At this time, Cheng Yaojin next to him said, "Why do I accompany the general manager to go with me! I will protect the general manager."
"Your wife is going to give birth, are you not in a hurry to go back and have a look?"
"I have already calculated that I will not have a life next month. If she is born now, it will not be my species."
Yang Yuanqing had no choice but to take care of him, but if Cheng Yaojin was traveling with him, he would have a little more fun, so he happily agreed, "Since you want to travel with him, then go back to pack up and set off tomorrow at the fifth day of the year."
...
...
Dates came out of Yang Yuanqing's tent, Cheng Yaojin ran away. Luo Shixin had expected that, and his movements were much faster than him. He chased after him a few steps and grabbed his collar, "You bastard, don't want to escape!"
Luo Shixin threw him to the ground and stepped on his thigh. Before he could use force, Cheng Yaojin screamed like a pig. Luo Shixin knew that he wanted to lure Yang Yuanqing out, so he whispered: "You go again."
Howling, I really tried hard!"
Cheng Yaojin's scream stopped abruptly, and he also said angrily: "If you want to kill and cut, you can do it, but if you let me go, I can't afford to lose my face."
When Luo Shixin saw soldiers surrounding him, he relaxed his feet and said, "Get up!"
Cheng Yaojin stood up, and the two walked quickly towards their tents one after another.
"How many people did you tell about that?" Luo Shixin asked angrily behind.
"Oh! I told Lao Niu that I drank too much that day, and you know that after drinking a few glasses of cat urine, I would change my name to Cheng Jieren. I can't control this mouth. If he dares
We talked everywhere, let's beat him together."
Luo Shixin was so angry that he wanted to beat him, but beating him was useless, so he could only say hatefully: "I blame me for being blind and seeing the wrong person. You give me five hundred taels of silver."
Seeing that he was really angry, Cheng Yaojin felt regretful and slapped his three mouths hard, "Your stinky mouth, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will tear you apart!"
Seeing that he was very serious, Luo Shixin's anger subsided a little, so he had to say helplessly: "Forget it, that's the five hundred taels of silver as my gift for your child, that's it! I'll tell my sister-in-law if you have the chance."
After saying that, Luo Shixin turned around and left. He wanted to find Niu Jinda and told him not to say it anymore. Cheng Yaojin grinned twice. The five hundred taels of silver he spent in the past few months, and only two hundred taels left.
Then, when Madam Ruo asked, how should he answer?
...
The next morning, Yang Yuanqing led 500 personal soldiers and Cheng Yaojin left Linyu Palace, and rushed to the south with a arrogant horse. Their destination was Qinghe County.
Among the three prominent families in Hebei, he visited the Lu family of Fanyang and the Cui family of Boling, but he had not had time to visit the Cui family of Qinghe.
Compared with the other two major families, Yang Yuanqing is more familiar with the Cui family in Qinghe. Pei Minqiu's grandmother, Mrs. Cui, is the eldest daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe. Cui Junsu, one of his five majors, is also from the Cui family in Qinghe.
Moreover, he is also very familiar with the head of the Cui family in Qinghe. He was the Jingzhao Yin-Yuan, who served as Emperor Tai Yang Tong. Cui Junsu said that Cui Bosu had resigned from his post at the beginning of the year and returned to his family.
Qinghe County is in the southern part of Hejian County, separated by Xindu County. Yang Yuanqing did not disturb the government and went south and passed Xindu County. This morning, they entered Qinghe County, which was only ten miles away from Qinghe County.
Perhaps because things will turn back when extremes are the result. After years of fierce rebellion and military chaos, the people of Hebei cherish the hard-earned stability, and farmers are packing their crops in the fields everywhere.
Although the war was in a thousand miles of Chiye, once the war ended, the farmers who were hiding from the military disaster in the county returned to their homes, repaired their houses, and reclaimed the land. In addition, most of Dou Jiande's hundreds of thousands of troops were dismissed and returned to the fields, which was greatly enriched.
Labor in each county.
Vitality began to gradually appear on the originally barren land. Going south, you could see green wheat and corn everywhere. The battle against Dou Jiande ended too late, and summer grain was too late to sow, so you could only wait for the autumn harvest.
Yang Yuanqing and his group walked on the wide official road, near Qinghe County. The land on both sides seemed more vibrant, and busy farmers were everywhere.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin sneaked forward and whispered: "Master, if we are a group of people entering the city like this, wouldn't it cause a sensation in the city? The Master still doesn't want to disturb the people, how can this be done?"
Yang Yuanqing felt that he knew this guy very well. He could guess his true thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth. Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "Have you finished drinking?"
Cheng Yaojin's bottom face became darker. When he passed by Wuyi County the day before yesterday, he secretly bought a pot of wine and sipped a few times from time to time. He had finished drinking last night and his throat started to itch again.
Get up.
Cheng Yaojin knew that as long as he was with his personal soldiers, Yang Yuanqing would be very strict and not allowed to drink. If the personal soldiers were not here, he would relax and could drink two drinks. He tried every means to help the personal soldiers away. Unexpectedly,
As soon as he spoke, his mind was discovered by Yang Yuanqing.
"This...that..."
Cheng Yaojin was speechless and couldn't say the complete words. Yang Yuanqing patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "If you want to drink, tell the truth. It's not a battlefield now. You don't have to pretend to be so tired!"
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and laughed: "Can you go shopping in brothels?"
"Bad!" Yang Yuanqing cursed, and Cheng Yaojin was so scared that he stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything anymore.
In fact, Cheng Yaojin reminded Yang Yuanqing that he had to make a mess in the city like this. He turned around and told Pei Qingsong, "Go and tell the brothers that they don't have to go into the city, find a place outside the city to have a meal.
rest."
Pei Qingsong agreed and turned around to instruct his personal soldiers.
Soon, they came outside Qinghe City, which was also very lively outside the city. There were several tea sheds, and the personal soldiers sat down one after another. Yang Yuanqing only took Cheng Yaojin, Pei Qingsong and two personal soldiers into the city.
Qinghe County is the county seat of Qinghe County. It is located next to Yongji Canal. It is a big city with a circumference of nearly 30 miles. It has been densely populated since ancient times. Although most of the population has been lost due to war, as the war subsided, the city gradually became lively.
The streets are full of vegetable stalls, bargaining sounds everywhere, and caravans have begun to appear on the streets, which is a sign of the economic recovery.
Yang Yuanqing and his friends walked less than a hundred steps on the main street and saw a wine shop with a black "wine" written on the apricot-yellow wine banner.
"Just have lunch here!" Yang Yuanqing liked the name of this restaurant. The name of the restaurant was hung above the gate, and the two vigorous characters "Ya Zhai" were written with great skill.
Yang Yuanqing was not wearing a military uniform. He wore a blue cloth robe mixed with silk and linen, a black gauze hat on his head, a long sword on his waist, and a silk fan in his hand.
The silk fan is also called the Qingluo small fan. The folding fan has not appeared yet. The palace and literati and poets all like to take a silk fan, which is suitable for both men and women. It was not until the Song Dynasty folding fan appeared that the silk fan officially became a special one for women. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the big men
It is normal to dance a small light fan with your hand.
They walked to the door and the guy came up to greet him, "Welcome to me, a few masters!"
The guy's eyes were very poisonous. He could see the relationship between the five of them at a glance. The scribe with the highest figure in the middle was the master. The man with a bad face and a little shy were his subordinates, and the two behind him were bodyguards and entourages.
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Let's go up to the second floor!".
