Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 827: Talking!Turn around!

"Hey! Brother Hei, don't be angry. Li Er is right. The general who leads the troops naturally needs to be able to read and write. Why don't you beg the prince, but the school in Licheng studies like a child?" How about literacy?"

"Zhang Jiao'er, I'm going to fuck you, how dare you tease me..."

"Hahaha……!"

The pirates and the others were really gentlemen. Hearing that Qin Wenyuan was the island owner's nephew, they naturally didn't regard him as an outsider, but started to play around in the house where all the leaders gathered on the island.

Zhang Zhongjian couldn't help laughing and cursing when he saw that everyone was playing around, without the majesty and solemn military discipline that he had seen in Qin Wenyuan's army.

"You have to talk to me well, the noise is only to make a certain nephew laugh at me, but I like this kind of atmosphere, hahaha!"

"Uncle Hugh said so much about my nephew, all the heroes on the island have straightforward temperaments, and their fights show brotherly love. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

"The little prince listens well, and I'm flattered to wait. The brothers on the island are used to being loose. It's not like there is a military discipline in the army. Don't blame it."

"You don't need to be polite. Today, the king and his uncle went to the island to meet all the brothers. I am very happy. Why do you blame me? However, when you are fighting against the enemy, you must have military discipline. Otherwise, how can you fight against the enemy forcefully? This king knows that you are all heroes, but if you can't form a force, it will be difficult to become a big climate. This is like a chopstick is easy to break, but a bundle of chopsticks is hard to break. The brother just said that he wants to be a general. This makes the king happy, the ancients said that soldiers who do not want to be generals are not brave soldiers, if the brothers on the island are all fighting for the first, they all have such thoughts, wouldn’t they be invincible when encountering the enemy.”

This guy Qin Wenyuan tried his best to deceive, what he said naturally made the audience feel a little excited.

Because of the mixed identities of the pirates on this island, there are criminals who kill and steal goods and are hunted down by the government, there are soldiers who commit crimes in the army and defect to this island, and there are ordinary people who are forced by life to act as pirates. Such thoughts are temporarily annihilated due to reasons, and once hope is seen, the desire hidden in the heart will be ignited again like weeds in the wilderness.

After everyone calmed down, when Zhang Zhongjian mentioned the matter of building a large-scale warship in "Dengzhou" to go to the sea, there was another eager climax among the sea bandits.

Zhang Zhongjian ordered craftsmen who are good at shipbuilding to gather at the "Dengzhou" military port the next day, and transport the high-quality wood for building ships on the island at the same time. The head craftsman who built the ship was actually eager to go there immediately.

After talking about the shipbuilding, Zhang Zhongjian spoke again to the sea bandits under his command.

"Brothers, from now on the island will choose thousands of brave soldiers with good water quality to form a deep sea regiment, and go to the Dengzhou Navy for training and know how to control artillery and machinery. Control with Qin Wenyuan, the brothers who stay on the island should obey orders and not slack off."

"I will follow the orders of the island master!"

For a few days, Qin Wenyuan investigated the military affairs and people's livelihood on the island, and found that this "Yaluo Island" is really a place with beautiful scenery and a suitable climate. However, the residents on the island are not good at farming, so a large amount of land has been abandoned, resulting in the loss of food, vegetables and fruits. Most of the food came from outside the island. In view of these circumstances, after Qin Wenyuan returned to "Dengzhou", he ordered the "Dengzhou" Yamen to send sea ships, in addition to having the craftsmen and trained soldiers from the island settled properly. Dozens of officials who are good at farming, hundreds of craftsmen who are good at building fortifications, and dozens of cannons and ammunition produced by "Licheng" were sent to the island to guide the islanders to farm and build stronger and more reasonable firepower configuration. fortifications.

At the time when the route between "Dengzhou" and "Yanluo Island" was busy, the imperial court got the news that Qin Wenyuan wanted to make Zhang Zhongjian go out to sea for business and build large warships and merchant ships in "Dengzhou".

After Li Shimin received the report, apart from being surprised by the news that Zhang Zhongjian and "Dengzhou" built a large warship, he was not even half-interested in distant sea commerce, thinking that it was just something Qin Wenyuan was looking for in his free time. How did he know that the wealth brought back by Yuanhai business is enough to make the Qin family's financial resources reach such a terrifying level.

Regardless of the dynasty, it is an indisputable fact that money can turn ghosts. Without financial support, what can you do if you have the ability to surpass the sky.

Apart from ordering the Detective Cavalry Division to monitor Zhang Zhongjian and the construction of giant warships, the emperor's old man was left to Qin Wenyuan's tossing about.

Qin Wenyuan was free, but he traveled frequently between Qizhou, Northeast, and Koryo, so that the development of Northeast and Koryo entered into his expected vision. During this period, the Qin family added another son and daughter, but it was Princess Caixia. Happy to have a son Qin Xiaolong, Princess Minmin gave birth to a daughter Qin Xiaofeng.

Two years passed in a blink of an eye, and during the golden time when Qin Wenyuan was concentrating on developing the people's livelihood in several places, the three giant warships and several large merchant ships built at the "Dengzhou" military port had all been completed. Crowded.

Datang Zhenguan September 13th, [-], it is advisable to travel!

This is the auspicious day selected by Zhang Zhongjian to lead the army to go to sea. The "Dengzhou" military port on that day was really joyful and noisy. Qin Wenyuan bought wine at the port for his uncle and the soldiers under his command.

After the toast, Qin Wenyuan congratulated the start of the first voyage at sea.

After dozens of cannon shots, but seeing Zhang Zhongjian's flagship unfurling its flag, three warships sailed in a "pin" formation on the sea surface, with several merchant ships in between, slowly sailing in the depths of the ocean...

Just a few days after Zhang Zhongjian led the fleet to leave "Dengzhou" to start a long voyage, Li Xiuning, the eldest princess of Chang'an City, sent an urgent letter to "Licheng" in Qizhou to send her eldest son Chai Shaowu, daughter-in-law Xu Wanying, and eldest grandson Chai Rong back to the mansion, and asked Qin Wenyuan Go with it.

But it turned out that Qiao Guo Gong Chai Shao's old illness had relapsed, and he was in a coma for several days, and the court doctor was helpless.

After receiving the letter, Qin Wenyuan quickly sent his sister, brother-in-law and nephew to the capital together. Since the nephew was inconvenient to ride a horse when he was young, he had to let him and his sister Qin Wanying ride in the carriage together.

"Brother-in-law, Mr. Qiao is in a hurry. You and I should rush to Beijing for an emergency. My sister and nephew will be escorted by Zhou Cang and other personal guards. There should be no risk."

"It's so good, I'm anxious for my brother, everything will be arranged according to my brother."

Qin Wenyuan called Zhou Cang for some instructions and ordered him to escort the mother and son to Beijing.

After Zhou Cang gave the order, Qin Wenyuan reassured his sister that there was no need to worry, and after her brother-in-law and sister said goodbye, the two of them galloped to the capital with several personal guards.

However, God's will cannot be violated. When Qin Wenyuan and his brother-in-law rushed to the capital, Chai Shao, the Duke of Qiao, had already passed away.

In the palace of the eldest princess, there is sadness and depression, the autumn wind blows so that the soul-calling flags "crack" and a generation of heroic spirits has passed away, which makes people heartbroken.

Qin Wenyuan tried his best to take care of the eldest princess who had been in a coma several times due to grief. The reason was that the eldest princess would induce severe illness due to grief, and make her life disappear with her husband.

When Qin Wanying rushed back to the mansion with her son, the eldest princess saw that her grandson's knots had been relieved, and at last she would not be sick and life-threatening due to her weak body and excessive grief.

For nearly a month, Qin Wenyuan lived in the eldest princess's mansion to help with Chai Shao's funeral. After Chai Shao's body was buried in the ground, the eldest princess Li Xiuning and Qin Wenyuan said that the court wanted Chai Shaowu to inherit his father's title of "Duke Qiao" and be named Youtun When the general of the battalion, the governor of Jiaozhou, and the governor of Anxi, Xu Tian spoke out.

"Auntie! The boy thought that my brother-in-law could inherit the title without going to Anxi to be an official. Because of the bitter cold in the northwest and the complex forces of ethnic minorities, Suiye City and Qiuci Town have always been battlegrounds for military strategists. Moreover, various families of the imperial court There are officials who serve in the Anxi Governor's Yamen, each for their own interests. If my brother-in-law is an official here, whether he can implement his own ideas or not, how can he be the lord of a place without his own direct army? If there is a slight turmoil here, it will bear the notoriety of lax governance."

The reason why Qin Wenyuan didn't want his brother-in-law to become an official in Anxi was that he knew the complexity of this area in his previous life, and the battles between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo Kingdom and Gaochang Kingdom all foreshadowed the difficulties and dangers of being an official here. .

This guy is most concerned about the honor, disgrace and safety of his family. After his rebirth, his ambition is to make his family safe and prosperous under his wings. Now that the Xu family is in full swing, how can he bear the heart of his sister to follow her brother-in-law to such a dangerous place?

In the princess mansion, Li Xiuning, Qin Wenyuan, Chai Shaowu, Chai Lingwu, Qin Wanying and others discussed the matter.

Li Xiuning was deeply impressed by Qin Wenyuan's analysis and suggestions. She was originally the daughter of the royal family and Li Shimin's sister, so she frowned and said to Qin Wenyuan because she didn't know about the court's repeated affairs.

"Xiaotian, how should Shaowu deal with this matter?"

"Auntie, don't worry. If the emperor sends my brother-in-law to Anxi during the court meeting, my brother-in-law can use the excuse of his father's new funeral and no intention of being an official. At that time, my aunt will take the whole family to Licheng to live in Xuanyuan, and my brother-in-law can go first. Northeast assists my younger brother to familiarize himself with the military and government. After a while, he can go to Yangping Niangziguan to become an official and take over the old department of his aunt. In this day and age, the boy said something rebellious, only the strength in his hands is the foundation of his family, and everything else is It's floating clouds."

"Then how should we deal with Ling Wu staying in the capital?"

"It doesn't matter. Brother Ling Wu is now the captain-in-law, Duke of Xiangyang County, and his wife is Princess Baling. His status is already dignified, and he has no interest in any family in the court. In the future, he must remember not to quarrel with the crown prince and Wei. If the king has an affair, if he doesn't get too close to Fang Yiai and other honorable children in the court, he will definitely be carefree in this life. If the boy predicts that it is not bad, something big will happen in the court soon, the way of being an official, In addition to doing what you are supposed to do, it is the kingly way to protect yourself behind closed doors, and after brother-in-law takes charge of the army, it will also be a way of retreat for Brother Lingwu, this is the reason for storing the eggs separately so as not to encounter the same risk."

Qin Wenyuan's words today actually changed Chai Lingwu's bad luck of being beheaded in the future, making him refuse Fang Yiai to act for Wei Wang Li Tai in the capital, and finally avoided the death penalty of treason, changing the history of this guy's involvement in Li Tai's rebellion. Captured by the imperial court, Yu Huayin was desperate and committed suicide, and his wife, Princess Baling, was given the fate of death.

A few days later, there was a grand court meeting in the imperial palace, and in the Taiji Hall, as Qin Wenyuan thought, there was an imperial scholar proclaiming the decree.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor said: Chai Shao, the Duke of Qiao State, passed away, and his merits belonged to Jiangshan Sheji. The descendants of the Chai family should inherit the legacy of their ancestors and become the mainstay of the empire, so that Chai Shaowu will inherit the title of Duke of Qiao State, and be granted the title of General Youtunying and Governor of Jiaozhou. , the post of the Protector of Anxi, I will leave Beijing to take up the post soon, I admire you!"

After thanking him, Chai Shaowu knelt down in the hall and said.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness, but because my father passed away not long ago, I often feel unwell due to my great sorrow. I am afraid that I will not be able to take on such a heavy responsibility. I implore the emperor to take back the official position and invite talented people to take up the post. I will wait until my body and mind are not hindered. At that time, you should devote your life and soul to the empire, dedicate yourself to it, and beg the emperor to fulfill your humble minister's heart."

Hearing what Chai Shaowu said, Li Shimin was a little surprised for a moment, thinking that how many courtiers in the court were fighting for the post of Anxi Capital Protector, could this kid be deceived by lard, willing to be mediocre regardless of his bright future?
"Shao Wu! Your father has passed away, and I feel very sad. However, the deceased is gone. What you have to do is how to maintain the honor of your father and make the Chai family glorious, but why are you so disheartened by this matter? , are you depressed?"

Chai Shaowu didn't know how to respond to Li Shimin's words, this guy is a modest gentleman, he is not good at eloquence, so he bowed his head in the hall in a daze.

Seeing this, Qin Wenyuan hurried forward to round up the field.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been an examination of the past in the family, and his son should regard filial piety as the basis of etiquette. It is natural for Chai Shaowu to feel sad. If he makes him a high-ranking official with such thoughts, he is afraid that the government will be disadvantaged. My servant thinks that it is better to pity his filial piety and let Chai Shaowu be filial to his father, so that he can be as filial as his father, and then be loyal to the empire.

Li Jing and other courtiers in the palace listened to Qin Wenyuan's intentions, and all the courtiers who knew about this kid secretly wondered how profound this was.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

Even though he knew this, he still couldn't see through Qin Wenyuan's thoughts.

Li Shimin glanced sideways at Qin Wenyuan, and then said to Chai Shaowu.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I have made up my mind, and I hope it will come true!"

"Forget it! Since you don't want to take up the post of Anxi Governor, I will reward you from the third rank to the post of General Yunhui and Wusan Official."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After dealing with Chai Shaowu's matter, Li Shimin changed the subject and suddenly said to Qin Wenyuan.

"Qin Wenyuan, I heard that you sent Zhang Zhongjian to lead a large warship and other large merchant ships to visit overseas countries, but you have not reported this matter to the court. Is there nothing to say at the court meeting today?"

As for this matter, Qin Wenyuan just used his ass to think about it. He already knew that this matter must have been inquired by the emperor's old son. He looked at the high-ranking court officials who seemed to be interested in this matter, and couldn't help but think to himself:

"This is my private matter, how can I report it to the imperial court?"

For a moment, there was a little silence in the hall, and everyone was eagerly looking at Qin Wenyuan...
