Chapter 213 Guarding the Lights of Ten Thousand Houses(2/3)
"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.
