Chapter 124 Country and Family

Sending Zhou Ning back to the Guozijian, Yang Xuan just wanted to go back, but was stopped.

"I'll give you a diagnosis and treatment."

Zhou Ning took out the acupuncture box.

Yang Xuan shivered, "Ah Ning, I'm fine, I'm not sick."

Zhou Ning frowned, "Diagnose and treat if you are sick or not."

"Lie down!"

Yang Xuan was lying on the case table, and then he had a diagnosis and treatment.

"I'm getting angry." Zhou Ning instructed, "Drink more water."

"Doesn't she know why the young man's anger comes from?" Suzaku smiled ambiguously, "Poor young chicken."

After leaving the Imperial College, Yang Xuan wandered slowly on Zhuque Street.

"Zi Tai!"

Yang Xuan turned around, and immediately smiled as kindly as seeing a best friend.

"Brother Liang!"

Seeing Liang Jing, who was much more majestic, get off his horse, the two hugged.

"Long time no see, why don't you go find me?" Liang Jing was like a bitter woman.

"I have to deal with the matter first before I can meet Brother Liang." Yang Xuan's answer was impeccable, and finally asked: "Is your mother well?"

Liang Jing nodded, "Your Majesty is naturally well, but that wicked woman in the palace is aggressive."

"Queen?"

"Correct."

The two found a place to drink.

"I know about your situation in Northern Xinjiang." Liang Jing said gratifiedly, "You're embarrassing your empress. Where do you want to go this time? Do you want to change to a better place?"

"No." Yang Xuan shook his head, "If you change places just after some improvement, others will say that the empress's people are gold-plated."

Liang Jing looked at him, and patted his shoulder heavily for a long time, "Good brother!"

After pouring heavily, Liang Jing clapped his hands.

Two girls came in, both quite pretty.

"This is prepared for you, brother." Liang Jing smiled ambiguously, "Just take it home to warm the quilt."

Yang Xuan shook his head, and said seriously: "The exercises I practice are not good for venting yang energy before the age of 16."

"That's it!" Liang Jing was rather disappointed.

Later, when the two broke up, Suzaku asked, "When will you turn sixteen?"

"almost."

Liang Jing entered the palace all the way.

"Your Majesty let Liang Langzhong go in."

Liang Jing is now a doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

After entering the palace, the imperial concubine was teasing the cat, she raised her eyes and asked, "What are you busy with, brother?"

Liang Jing saluted, "Beijiang is busy these days, so I paid attention to it. Madam, Zhang Chumao wants to plan for the post of Jiedushi in Beijiang."

"Fengjiang official!" The imperial concubine caressed her pet lightly, and said lightly: "He is Yang's son-in-law, I think the queen will be very proud."

Liang Jing sneered and said: "It is said to be a great victory, but I am a little puzzled. That Zhang Chumao has been in the southern border for many years and is extremely mediocre. Why can he be completely new and reborn when he arrives in the northern border... This must be the plan of a family of four surnames. My own person. Madam, what does Your Majesty mean?"

The empress pinched the cat's neck and tugged it gently, her bright eyes were filled with warning, "No need to ask."

"Yes."

Later, a servant came to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Liang Jing wanted to inquire about His Majesty's attitude towards Zhang Chumao, but the imperial concubine refused."

"Know the general situation." The emperor said lightly.

"Your Majesty." Han Shitou came in, "His Royal Highness, please see me."

The emperor nodded.

Han Shitou went out, outside the hall, the fat prince Li Jing stood respectfully, almost with his hands tied.

Han Shitou said: "Your Highness, please come with your slaves."

After entering the hall, Li Jing saluted.

"Meet Ayer."

The emperor raised his eyes and said calmly, "What have you been up to lately?"

Li Jing said: "I have recently met several great Confucian scholars with exquisite knowledge. I have been focusing on discussing knowledge with them for a while, and I have benefited a lot."

The emperor nodded, then looked down at the memorial, and said casually: "It's good to learn, if you don't understand, ask more."

"Yes." Li Jing happily agreed, as if a word from the emperor to him was a great gift from heaven.Even a blind man could feel that look of admiration.

Han Shitou said from the side: "Your Majesty is busy."

Li Jing knelt down and saluted, "I will take my leave."

"Go."

Han Shitou sent Li Jing out without any sign of contempt.

Everyone knew that the crown prince was not valued by the emperor, and some proud servants even dared to go to the East Palace to extort money, which was evident.

But Han Shitou did not dare to underestimate the prince.

Li Jing is 27 years old, still studying Confucianism all day long, seemingly mediocre, who may give his princess to his father with both hands, can he be mediocre?
The so-called hatred of taking a wife is irreconcilable.

But the prince still walked in and out of the palace with a gentle smile.

It's not a fuel-efficient lamp.

A servant hurried over.

"What's the matter?"

The servant said: "Liao Jin, the deputy envoy of Northern Xinjiang Jiedu, is coming soon."

Han Shitou looked at the dark sky, thinking that it would be a punishment to drive wildly in such weather, and Liao Jin's attitude would surely win the emperor's favor.

The servant said casually: "By the way, someone said something... Taiping County has also reported victory, so come and ask about it at that time."

Han Shitou's eyebrows moved slightly, "Taiping County?"

The servant smiled and said, "Young Supervisor Han doesn't know. That county magistrate belongs to the imperial concubine. This time, he took care of Liang Dao and defeated the foreign iron cavalry. Four hundred defeated eight hundred! Those people seem to be committed by someone. They are called death camps. Tsk tsk! That county magistrate is really fierce..."

Han Shitou stood there, his eyes calmly looking into the distance.

Slowly clenched his right hand into a fist, and waved it vigorously where no one else could see.

Those reddish eyes were frighteningly red at the moment.

……

Dozens of riders came to the post station more than [-] miles away from Chang'an City today.

The sky was drizzling, and a group of people were wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats.

The postman went out to meet him, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen you all."

Two sergeants stepped forward, "Arrange charcoal fire quickly."

who is this?

Yi Cheng responded with a smile, and asked: "This is..."

The accommodation needs to be registered, otherwise the money and food consumed will make Yicheng commit suicide by hitting the wall.

A person came up from behind and lifted the bamboo hat up a bit, "Old man, Liao Jin, deputy envoy of Jiedu in Beijiang."

Yicheng saluted, "I will make arrangements immediately."

Immediately, the post station was busy for a while, no one noticed that Yi Cheng went to the back of the post station and looked for a man.

"Liao Jin is here."

The man smiled, "We will remember you well."

When Yicheng came back, he personally made charcoal fire and sent it over.

"It's cold in the cracks of the cold bones."

Liao Jin rubbed his hands, his face full of wind and frost.

After dinner, he sat by the brazier in a daze.

"Deputy envoy." Someone knocked on the door outside.

"What's the matter?" Liao Jin rubbed his eyes.

The door opened, and the accompanying sergeant said, "Someone asked to see him, and he said he was an old friend of the deputy envoy."

Liao Jin asked, "Who?"

"Old man!"

A man wearing a bamboo hat, coir raincoat, and veil walked in.He pulled down the scarf, Liao Jin was taken aback, "You..."

"Please close the door."

Liao Jin nodded, and the entourage closed the door.

Liao Jin looked at the man, his eyes were a bit puzzled, "Why is Chang'an so eager to recruit me? Xu Guogong came to the post station at night, but the old man has some guesses..."

The man is Zhang Chumao, "Vice Envoy Liao has worked hard on this trip. This time I let you go back to Chang'an because I need you to testify for something."

Liao Jin smiled and said, "What about the great victory?"

"You are indeed a smart person." Zhang Chumao nodded, "If the old man is the Jiedu envoy of Beijiang, I am willing to support Deputy envoy Liao to make contributions."

"The old man does not want credit."

"Then what do you want?"

"reason!"

Zhang Chumao looked at him and suddenly smiled, very happily.

"You want reason?" Zhang Chumao said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you that your son made a big mistake and took more than [-] yuan in bribes."

Liao Jin was stunned.

The son is an official in another place, and it is rare for the father and son to see each other.Every letter exchange is good and good.Unexpectedly...

He can't ask for proof of this matter, and he doesn't need to ask for proof.

Liao Jin raised his eyes and asked calmly, "What do you want?"

Zhang Chumao moved his neck, and the rain dripped from the bamboo hat.He said in a deep voice: "As long as the old man wins, it will be successful. This old man swears that this matter will sink to the bottom of the sea, otherwise the old man's family will die without a place to bury him. No... the children in the old man's family are spoiled. Exile somewhere, the old man will be heartbroken when he thinks about it."

Liao Jin was silent.

Zhang Chumao smiled, "Huang Chunhui is old, but your qualifications are not enough to take over as Jiedushi. If you change to someone who doesn't know the truth, how will he treat you?"

Liao Jin rubbed his eyebrows and lowered his head.

The corners of Zhang Chumao's mouth turned up slightly, "So, the old man is looking forward to having a drink with you in northern Xinjiang, so I'm leaving."

He opened the door and went out, and a gust of cold wind swept in.

Liao Jin sat there, silent.

……

Zhao Sanfu came early in the morning.

"Liao Jin will arrive in Chang'an in the morning."

Standing under the tree, Yang Xuan missed the lively time when the whole family was here.

"Zhang Chumao didn't move?"

Zhao Sanfu shook his head, "I didn't keep an eye on him."

"Damn, Zhang Chumao will be indifferent?"

Yang Xuan knew that Zhang Chumao's victory was a fraud, but there was no proof!

If you want to find evidence for this matter, the best witness is the forward general.

Zhao Sanfu shook his head, "He won't be indifferent, but who can prove that his great victory is fake?"

He had many things to do, so he left immediately.

"No one cares about this?" Suzaku asked.

"A family of four surnames is in full swing, and the emperor's attitude is unclear. Who cares? Whoever cares is their enemy."

Near noon, Liao Jin entered the city.

He didn't stay for a moment, and went straight to the palace to see him.

Someone came from the palace and let Yang Xuan enter the palace.

This is the first time Yang Xuan went to see the emperor, no, the false emperor.

"Jingke assassinates the King of Qin and kills him!" Suzaku was a little excited, "Here comes a beheading tactic, and then the world is in chaos, and you use the banner of Fengtian Jingnan again... Wahaha!"

All the way outside the palace city, Yang Xuan couldn't help trying to figure out the terrain, thinking about how to attack the most convenient way.

"Follow."

Following the servant, looking at the situation in the palace all the way, Yang Xuan imagined the scene of filial piety to the emperor walking in the palace.

Outside the main hall, Liao Jin had already arrived first.

"Deputy Liao." Yang Xuan saluted.

Liao Jin said softly: "Young people should cheer up, but they must not be impulsive."

He wants to compromise?

Yang Xuan's heart turned cold.

A servant came out, but it was Han Shitou whom he had seen once.

Han Shitou said lightly: "Follow us."

The two went in one after the other.

The prime minister and the ministers are all there.

Zhang Chumao was also there, with a humble look on his face, probably because he had just been praised for a round.

The emperor... The pseudo-emperor looked calm, and fat grew on his cheeks, which showed that he was having a good day.

Left phase, right phase...

Yang Xuan glanced over these important ministers with a glance, then bowed his head.

The emperor said indifferently: "Everyone is here, how about this great victory, please ask."

Zheng Qi smiled, "Mr. Xu Guogong has made great achievements in battle, so there is no doubt about it."

Wang Douxiang said coldly: "The good news says that Duke Xu killed more than a thousand enemies in this battle and lost three thousand."

"Beiliao is fierce, and the forwards underestimated the enemy, so that the battle suffered a lot of losses. Later, the soldiers used their lives, and the old man led the army to arrive, and the enemy was defeated."

Zhang Chumao said regretfully.

Good acting!
Yang Xuan thought of the film and television dramas he watched, the so-called film king could only bow down in front of Xu Guogong.

But it's understandable that other people's acting is just for fun, and this acting is killing people.

Wang Douxiang said: "Northern Xinjiang should know about this matter. Deputy Envoy Liao is here. Please help us clarify."

Liao Jin took a step forward.

In an instant, all eyes were on him.

Zhang Chumao looked at him with a smile, which was extraordinarily gentle.

Wang Douxiang's eyes flashed, and she cursed inwardly.If Zhang Chumao was not guilty, he would just be indifferent, and he didn't need to look at Liao Jin.

When he looked at it like this, it was clear that there was a ghost.

Liao Jin was convinced by him! ?
Yang Songcheng was looking at Chen Shen, smiling very calmly.

Chen Shen seldom questioned the authenticity of Zhang Chumao's great victory, otherwise Zhang Chumao would have set off with the title of Northern Xinjiang Jiedushi at this moment.

But what's the use of blocking it for a while?

Yang Songcheng planned this matter for a long time, so he asked Zhang Chumao to lead the army to retaliate against Beiliao.But Zhang Chumao, that idiot, didn't live up to it. He lost his troops in the first battle

If not, how could he have made people find out the fault of Liao Jin's son, and then ordered Zhang Chumao to look for Liao Jin, with threats and lures, to achieve this.

Chen Shen glanced at Yang Songcheng, his eyes were calm, like a deep old well.

Liao Jin took a deep breath and said slowly:
"In November of the third year of Dagan, Xu Guogong led an army of [-] to attack, and then encountered the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty."

The corners of Zhang Chumao's mouth curled up. At this moment, he was very glad that he married a woman from the Yang family in Yingchuan.Even if he doesn't like that well-behaved woman very much, he has no shortage of women, just provide for that woman.

Liao Jin continued: "Five days later, the army returned and won immediately. The scouts in the northern border have been cruising around this battle, and they learned what happened..."

Zhang Chumao thought that Liao Jin was about to become his deputy, so he inevitably planned something.If Liao Jin's son turns back, people will make him worse. It is best to have all kinds of poisons. In this way, Liao Jin will naturally bow to him in the future, so that northern Xinjiang can become a monolith.

Liao Jin glanced at him.

"The scouts reported that the vanguard of this battle encountered the Northern Liao army, and was defeated at the first touch, and then collapsed..."

What does he mean?
Zhang Chumao narrowed his eyes, waiting for the follow-up.

Liao Jin raised his head with piercing eyes, "Last night, I was staying in the post house. Someone found me and said that I was corrupt and would be exiled. If I prove that the great victory is true today, I will be exempted from punishment. I can't sleep at night. Home, which is more important?"

Yang Songcheng glanced at Zhang Chumao, his eyes were so cold that he could freeze to death.

you fool!
Zhang Chumao trembled all over.

Liao Jin said resolutely: "This time, Duke Xu was defeated!"

The quietness in the hall is the same as in the ancestral temple, everyone is like a memorial tablet, indifferent.

……

"justin_yu", thank the boss for the reward.

……

Brothers, ask for votes.
