The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 891 Xuan Shijing's "Old" Minister's Road
After receiving this edict, Xuan Shijing felt a little uneasy. It seemed that he could escape if he moved. He thought that even if he couldn't stay away from these right and wrong, he could have a buffer, at least let Chang'an Seeing their attitude, some people in the city felt better now, and the Hou Mansion moved to Zhuangzi, which became the best place to train soldiers.

Thief!

I only went to Li Chunfeng to settle the matter of moving this morning, and His Majesty Li Er has made a mistake.

Xuan Shijing received the imperial decree and returned to her study angrily.

The things in the study room have not been moved yet, and these are left to be cleaned up until the end. Xuan Shijing is bored in the study room by himself, but just after staying in the study room not long ago, there was a knock on the door.

"Master Hou, people from Duke Lu's mansion came to spread the message that Lord Hou should go to Duke Lu's mansion."

"I see, step back." Xuan Shijing responded.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin looked for him. Xuan Shijing smiled, went back to the room and changed his clothes, and then rode to Lu Guogong's mansion.

When they arrived at Cheng Yaojin's house, the concierge saw that it was Xuan Shijing, so he omitted all the details, stepped forward to take the reins from Xuan Shijing's hand, and led the horse to the backyard.

Xuan Shijing stepped into the Duke's Mansion, walked to the entrance of the hall, and was taken directly to the study of the Duke's Mansion by the servants waiting outside.

Cheng Yaojindouda couldn't read a basket, but the study at home was quite grand, and almost all the books that could be sold in the market could be found in this study.

"Uncle Cheng." Xuan Shijing walked into the study and came across to Cheng Yaojin.

"Come, sit down." Cheng Yaojin signaled Xuan Shijing to sit on the stool opposite to him: "Did Your Majesty send Mr. Deyi to announce the decree for you today?"

Xuan Shijing nodded honestly.

"The upper guard of the third rank, five hundred soldiers, Jing'er, tell me what you think." Cheng Yaojin looked at Xuan Shijing with great interest.

Xuan Shijing was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "My nephew doesn't think this is a good thing. Five hundred soldiers from the mansion means that my nephew has military power in his hands. Although the number of people is small, it is the same. The little nephew feels that His Majesty is digging a hole for his nephew, no, he just pushed the little nephew into the fire pit."

"Don't panic, it's only five hundred soldiers, and Zhang Liang's sons are more than these soldiers under your command." Cheng Yaojin smiled while stroked his beard.

Zhang Liang's son?
That's right, Zhang Liang is known as having five hundred adopted sons, but Xuan Shijing also wondered, what does Zhang Liang want to do with so many godsons in his spare time?
But after Cheng Yaojin confirmed the news, Xuan Shijing planned to stay away from Zhang Liang from the bottom of his heart.
"These two things are different in nature." Xuan Shijing said helplessly.

"Actually, Your Majesty just wants to see how far you can train the five hundred soldiers. Before you went to Liaodong, your three hundred soldiers trained in a hurry. Even so, it also impressed your Majesty. Therefore, the five hundred soldiers Bing, Your Majesty is just testing you." Cheng Yaojin explained.

"Exploring? Is my nephew doing it for the better or worse?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Cheng Yaojin was slapped on the table angrily by Xuan Shijing's words, his eyes stared like copper bells, and he cursed: "You bastard, this is a good job, can you do it in a bad way? Since you have that ability, if you want Do it well, otherwise what will you rely on in the army in the future? 500 people will not be enough to form a new army. When these people are incorporated into the army, they must be low-level and mid-level officials in the army. The better they are, the better you will be in the army. The more solid the foundation is in it!"

"But my nephew feels that my nephew is too much attention now. If the army does what Uncle Cheng said, my nephew will be finished sooner or later." Xuan Shijing said.

"As long as you don't rebel, are loyal to the emperor and love the country, His Majesty will not touch you. Even if the Crown Prince takes power in the future, the Crown Prince will not easily touch you based on your relationship with the Crown Prince. Moreover, His Majesty is using you now. Don’t you know another meaning? Most of the current courtiers are old ministers who have come out of the war, and they are all old. When the crown prince ascends the throne, how many of these people will be left? The days will be slower Push slowly, there will be no one left!" Cheng Yaojin said in a low voice: "So you understand?"

Xuan Shijing nodded.

At Xuan Shijing's age, Wanquan can be an "old" minister of two dynasties.

"My nephew knows what Uncle Cheng said, so these five hundred soldiers are not a burden to my nephew." Xuan Shijing said.

"That's right. Besides, when His Majesty mentions these five hundred soldiers next time, the better they are, the better. So, spend more time on weekdays." Cheng Yaojin said.

"It's not a matter of worrying, but there is a problem. I'm afraid that my nephew Zhuangzi will not be able to gather [-] young men. Or, we can transfer some people from Uncle Cheng's Zhuangzi?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Cheng Yaojin laughed: "Can't get it together? Then you go to Luzhou Mansion to ask for someone, and give them a household registration in Zhuangzi, understand? Boy."

Luzhou Mansion?
It seems that Cheng Yaojin wants to make these 500 people completely "his own people", and they will carry the imprint of Dongshan Houfu wherever they go.

However, Xuan Shijing always felt that doing this was too blatant.
The father and son of the grandson's family are still staring at him, Xuan Shijing doesn't think that the life of the grandson Chong has been saved, the father and son will be grateful to him.

"Uncle Cheng, in four days, my nephew's marquis mansion will be moved to Zhuangzi. At that time, my nephew will send someone to invite Uncle Cheng to the new mansion for a drink, and also ask Uncle Cheng to give him a favor." Xuan Shijing He told Cheng Yaojin that he was going to move.

"It's really critical that you are moving." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "I heard that you and His Majesty were a little unhappy in the Ganlu Hall yesterday, boy, you are not angry with Your Majesty, are you?"

Xuan Shijing smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, and scratched his head: "How can it be, what should I say? It's not right. I had the idea of ​​moving before, but this time, it just happened."

You can't show your family's ugliness about things like this, because Xuan Shijing is afraid of being ashamed if you say it.

"Well, moving to Zhuangzi is clean and a good thing. Don't worry, the old man will definitely go. By the way, call Captain Chi Laohei, Li Xiaogong and Shubao. After returning from Liaodong, I haven't met them in private. Well, it just happened to be arranged at your place, and this matter should be handled properly, do you hear me?" Cheng Yaojin said while holding a large beard under his chin.

"Don't worry, Uncle Cheng, when did the nephew's house neglect the uncles?" Xuan Shijing smiled.

Coming out of Lu Guogong's mansion, Xuan Shijing stood at the gate, and the concierge went to the backyard stable to lead Xuan Shijing's horse, and Xuan Shijing was waiting here.

Five hundred soldiers, it seems that Zhuangzi is going to be lively again, but, who pays for the training expenses?
