Then the first year of the auspicious symbol on the tail of the Yonghui reign, this year is about to end in winter, although the new year is very festive, but obviously this year is not peaceful, the first half and the second half are very different, first there is Chen Zhibao Entering Beijing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War, completely drawing a line with the Xu family, is a great happy event, and then the long-standing vacancy of the prince's position is revealed, and the entrustment of the kings to leave Beijing to become a vassal is also smooth, and it is even more happy. Later, Yin Maochun Presided over the officials' big comments, methodically, like a butcher dispelling a cow, worthy of the reputation of hidden appearance. If it weren't for Xu Fengnian's hereditary succession as King of Beiliang, the first half of the first year of Xiangfu would have been a good thing. Then came the troubled season, the Guangling Road was in chaos, the Minister of the Ministry of War Lu Shengxiang was the commander in chief, the feudal prince Jing Nan, one of the two spring and autumn meritorious veterans died in battle, and the other is still trapped. . At the time of Frost's Descent, before winter really entered, I heard that Beimang's million-strong army was going south to the Central Plains. If the northwest was not used as an entry point, the Liyang government and the public would probably be in a state of distress. But Lu Shengxiang's position as the coach is undoubtedly in jeopardy. The Confucian saint Cao Changqing also showed up on the east line of Guangling Road, confronting Guangling King Zhao Yi, and it was imminent. Gu Jiantang of the Great Pillar Kingdom still stood still. The king of Shu, Chen Zhi, is like a bull in the sea without any news, and the king of Yan, Zhao Bing, is watching the fire from the other side. As the capital of Tai'an City, if Qi Yanglong, who became an official in his later years, hadn't waited for the arrival of Qi Yanglong who became an official in his later years, I am afraid that people would have panicked in this season of autumn and winter.
The city of Tai'an is very expensive, and many officials who can participate in the court meeting every day have worked hard for 20 years, and they may not be able to afford a house, and the more they can't afford it, there was a case a few years ago Tragically, an official who lived in a remote place drowned in the river in the early morning rainstorm in order to catch up with the Chaohui Dianmao. Today's son claims to be in charge of the country, but he is almost paranoid and thrifty king, and he also strictly controls the clan and honored relatives. In the past, the imperial relatives and relatives of the dynasties encroached on private property. After the founding of the country, it would not take a generation. In this dynasty But it was extremely rare, and it became more and more obvious that he who sat on the dragon chair was different from other emperors. However, His Majesty the Emperor has never been stingy in showing generosity to those important ministers. Except for those Hanshu scholars who have made their mark in the spring of Yonghui, in recent years, Chen Zhibao, Lu Baijie, and Lu Shengxiang, these three military officials, have lived in Beijing since the beginning. Going to a first-class wealthy mansion, there are countless rewards.
But these people are still not as good as Qi Jijiu. Qi Yanglong's house was formerly owned by a county king who was deprived of hereditary replacement by the first emperor. In order to take care of Qi Yanglong, who used to call himself Yuedi Qingqian, the emperor of the Zhao family, who never played tricks in the imperial dining room, specially set up a Yuezao bureau in the Qi mansion, and found two master chefs who were good at cooking from the old Dongyue territory. , just to serve the taste of Qi Jijiu, so Qi Yanglong even forgot to follow the custom of the new magistrate's new Beijing official. Qi Mansion is such a place of geomantic omen, so it is natural that all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the city flock to it, and they all regard it as an honor to be able to cross the threshold of Qi Mansion, and their respective identities are high or low, and their backgrounds are deep, and good people like to use the time before and after entering the mansion as the basis for judging For a while, the gate of the Qi Mansion became a dragon gate. This was an unprecedented grand occasion that Zhang Julu had never seen since he took charge of Shangshu Province. However, this also had something to do with Zhang Shoufu's inhumanity. Rejecting the silk and silk from the luxurious mansion given by the emperor, and also not rejecting the elegant collection of books from his colleagues, some people have roughly estimated that in less than one month, the Iron Sword, Qindan Building in the Qi Mansion has stored no less than 80 books. The "bongshu" of "paying money per page, one gold per page" is the Fengban book of the Great Feng Dynasty. It is recognized that the paper is exquisite, the style of the book is simple and the engraving is excellent. You must know the most famous private library in the world today. , being able to own hundreds of Fengban treasures is the result of generations of family members persevering and spending a lot of money.
In Qi Mansion, red lanterns are hung everywhere.
Qi Yanglong sent away Yan Jiexi, a scholar of the Dongyuan Pavilion, and sat down and drank two jars of aged wine. At this time, the old man who came to the study building alone looked rosy. He wore a thick fur coat. The old man was short and thin. Especially in Beidi, where there are many tall and healthy men, there is a suspicion of being overwhelmed. The old man came to the bookshelf and walked all the way. Instead of taking a second look at the priceless rare editions, he took out a Beiliang local chronicle that Gu Jiantang entrusted someone to send. The author was unknown. After the old man opened it, he read Reading those succinct and concise words, I just felt a gust of loneliness and indignation rushing towards my face: "In the land of Lianglong, the winter is extremely cold, and there are many clothes and skins. Even though the skins are rat-skinned, they are hidden deep. They are all covered with thick wool. , every severe winter, his fingers cracked his skin, and his bones were frozen for thousands of miles. The ground is extremely high, and the cold people endure the cold and hunger, brave and commit suicide, but they are not afraid of death. But pass, fine shooting hunting..."
The old man dipped in his saliva and turned over the pages, and read a paragraph: "He grows a saddle horse, the heaviest armored soldier. The horse roars like the wind, and the horse gathers to shepherd. Everyone is a soldier. A cold land with a million households is better than Jiangnan Thousands of people, those who own this place will win the world. Strong temperament, rather than bending, easy to repeat, gentleness is not enough to make meritorious deeds, non-military exploits are especially shining, not enough to grab frontier merits and guard the door. I won this place, and I can control the northwest Going north, just around the corner, Beimang won this place, within ten years, throwing whip Guangling."
The old man unknowingly read this local chronicle written many years ago, and his expression was sad. The old man already knew who wrote it. His disciple Xun Ping, compared to Yuan Benxi and Xie Feiyu, he regarded as a scholar who could rely on his mantle. The old man I never felt that anyone should be jealous of talents. The so-called underappreciation of talents must be caused by poor talents and learning, but the only exception is my disciple Xun Ping. If Xun Ping hadn't died young, the old man believed that he wouldn't have to wade into this muddy water at all. Now it's not just a puddle of muddy water, it's already a sign of turbid waves. Anyone who gets involved in it will have mixed reputation at best. Feeling sad, the old man silently put the book back on the bookshelf, and soon the steward of the house came to report that the distinguished guest came through the back door of Zhao Hui, the king of Tuorong County. I wanted to remind my lord that Rong County King is the leader of the noble clan in the capital, and he couldn't be neglected, but soon he felt that he was unnecessary. Almost all the famous families in Tai'an City visited Qi Mansion, "Taiping County King" Zhao Hui, as the late emperor's younger brother, did not visit the house only because of his advanced age, and the visitors who came to visit here were nothing more than Huang Zhou's children from the old county king's branch, so he should not be greeted by his own master, so The steward smiled and left with a relaxed mood.
Qi Yanglong, who couldn't be idle for a moment, walked towards the main hall, and saw a few young people pointing at a pair of ear sockets exposed Fengshui stones outside the house. They were all good things left by the old owner of this place, and it was hard to move them away. Otherwise, such a pair of Chunshen Lake boulders with the height of two people can be sold for 400,000 taels of silver in the capital city. The old man was not in a hurry to say hello, and walked gently. After seeing the profiles clearly, he smiled, but they were all hot people. Wu Shijiao, father Wu Lingsu, the former owner of Qingyang Palace, is now the leader of Northern Taoism, and ruled by the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, and the Liangchan Temple sealed the mountain gate for him personally. One person attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, let alone Wu Shihua, the only son of Immortal Wu.
Wang Yuanran is the youngest son of Wang Xionggui, the Minister of the Household Department who claims to have the most money in the Liyang Dynasty. Last time, he angered a large group of descendants of the rich and powerful. , and was thrown into the Imperial College after that, it stopped for almost half a year, and now it is probably considered to be back out of the rivers and lakes.
In addition to these two hot young people, there are also two meritorious grandsons who have recently gained power. With Yan Zhenchun's death in battle and Yang Shenxing's loss of power, the foundations of the Yan and Yang families in Tai'an City were greatly damaged. Yang Shenxing was far inferior to Yang Shenxing who was still alive. Yang Shenxing was in charge of the wind and rain in the west of Gyeonggi. At that time, most of the Han family's wealth was handed over to him, and he held tens of thousands of Jizhou elite soldiers, so that many times the government orders were not as good as Yang Shenxing's. In a word. It's just that the wall is overthrown, as long as Yang Shenxing loses his military power, he will not only have an extra general seat, but the entire Jizhou officialdom will be turned upside down, freeing up a large number of fourth- and fifth-rank local officials with real power.
When the four of them saw an old man who was almost a head shorter than them, they all bowed respectfully and respectfully. Qi Yanglong accepted it calmly. After they got up, he smiled and asked, "Aside from waiting for me, a bad old man, you should still be waiting." People, right? None of you kids have the skills to afford King Rong's face."
Wang Yuanran was about to speak when a familiar laugh came from behind him. Qi Yanglong turned around and saw three visitors with the same young faces, but compared to the group around him, their identities and demeanor were better. are much more than that.
The former fourth prince, now the prince Zhao Zhuan.
On the right side of the Guozijian Jijiu Jin Lanting, there is also a man Qi Yanglong doesn't know, full of murderous arrogance that cannot be concealed, even if he is with His Royal Highness and Jin Sanlang, he has no awareness of being a green leaf. The old man thought for a while, and when he remembered a person, he should be inseparable. Yuan Tingshan, Gu Jiantang's son-in-law, the son-in-law of Yanbao in Jizhou, and the former Gu Lu of the Ministry of War once had a secret file, which was divided into upper and lower volumes by age. For the people named above, especially the second volume, in the past twenty years, except for a few who have self-destructed, most of them have reached the lowest position, which is also the high position of the fourth-rank general. Yuan Tingshan ranks among the top three in the current "volume 2".
The three bowed together.
Qi Yanglong asked them to excuse him, feeling a little emotional, and said with a smile: "It's nice to be young."
