Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 190 Fang Xuanling

On the second day after helping the fourth child to welcome back his bride, Luo Cheng went to the county seat.

The county magistrates Zhang Yichen and Du Ruhui were both foreigners, but they couldn't go home for the New Year. The journey was too far away and the traffic was inconvenient, so they could only celebrate the New Year in Zhangqiu.Zhang Yichen was better, his family was there anyway, but Du Ruhui took up the post alone, so he couldn't help but miss his family in the capital.

Luo Cheng brought some gifts for New Year's greetings, and the three of them had a meal together.

At the banquet, Zhang Yichen happily told Luo Cheng that Qin Qiong's family had formally invited a matchmaker to propose marriage.The Qin family invited a matchmaker to propose marriage years ago, Zhang Yichen naturally agreed to the marriage proposal, and then the Qin family prepared six rites to propose marriage.

After asking about the name, Najib, and Nazheng, the man finally decided on the date of marriage, prepared a gift and announced it, and the Zhang family agreed.

The ancients paid attention to the three books and six rituals when they got married, and there was a very complicated set of rules and customs.

If you don't take one step, it's all rude.

The Qin family in Licheng and the Zhang family in Nanyang are both famous noble families, and they are not rude in this respect.The two families are now very optimistic about this marriage, so everything is going smoothly.

Even Najib, who was most worried about it, did not have a problem. The names and horoscopes of both men and women were put together perfectly.

"We will be relatives from now on."

Zhang Yichen looked happy, because of Wang Bo's rebellion case a year ago, he was worried and worried.But now that the news has been received, not only the county has no intention of blaming him, but the capital also claimed that Zhangqiu suppressed the bandits quickly and credited him for this matter.

Daye passed the five-year performance appraisal and got a good review.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Zhang Yichen already feels that his official career has a bright future.

Du Ruhui also told Luo Cheng a news.

"A letter from Gao Shilang from the Ministry of Officials, the county magistrate and the master Bo will arrive in the next year."

Luo Cheng also knew that these two positions could not always be vacant, "I don't know who it is?"

"The position of county magistrate will be filled by Zifang Qiao, the son of Fang Yanqian, the prime minister of Yingchuan County, and the position of master secretary will be filled by Duan Yanshi, Zuo Duan, secretary of justice in Taiyuan."

"Fang Qiao? Could it be Fang Xuanling from the Fang Family of Qi County?"

Luo Cheng asked.

"That's right, the Fang family was originally from Qinghe. When Fang Yanqian was the seventh generation ancestor, he was the Taiwei of the Yan State. With the Nanyan State moving its capital to Qingzhou, the family was brought to Qi. Since then, the Fang family has been Settling down in Qi and taking root, his branch will also become the Fang clan of Qi County."

The Fang family in Qi County is quite famous. From the Sixteen Kingdoms to the present, for more than 200 years, the Fang family in Licheng, Qi County has almost always been in politics. The great-grandfather was the prefect of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, and his grandfather started as the governor of the state and also became the prefect.

When it came to Fang Qiao's father, Fang Yanqian, he married a daughter of the Li family in Longxi, a top gentry, and gave birth to his only son, Fang Qiao.When he was young, he became an official in the Northern Qi Dynasty and served as the king of Guangning, Bo. After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he planned to restore the Northern Qi Dynasty with his relatives and friends, but failed.

Finally, he was conscripted into an official position by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the Sui Dynasty, he served as a censor in Beijing and moved to Daxing with his wife.

Later, he served as the magistrate of Changge County. Due to his outstanding political achievements, he is now promoted to the county magistrate.Fang Yanqian has many friends and acquaintances extensively. Not only is he a clean and capable official, but he is also the most famous calligrapher and Confucianist today.

His son Fang Qiao has been influenced by his ears and eyes since he was a child, and he has inherited his father's legacy.He was intelligent since he was a child, good at poetry and prose, read extensively in classics and history, and was proficient in Confucian classics.At that time, Benzhou promoted Jinshi, and successively awarded Yuqiwei and Xichengwei.

It's just that Fang Qiao hadn't been an official for long, probably because he was too young and inexperienced at the time, and soon abandoned his official position angrily and returned to Beijing, and then studied under Wang Tong, a great Confucian, and has been studying in Hedong.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling are good friends, and Zhang Yichen is also very familiar with Fang Xuanling, because Zhang Yichen and Fang Xuanling were Jinshi in the same year, and they were awarded three Jinshi in that year, so they are considered good friends in the same year.

Luo Cheng was very surprised, but it wasn't because Fang Xuanling's family belonged to Licheng, Qi County, nor was he surprised that his father was a famous Confucian and calligrapher in Qi. He was surprised by Fang Xuanling, Fangmou Du The desperate Fang Xuanling didn't wait until the Li family raised troops to enter Guanzhong before going out to join Li Shimin, but now he was going to be an official again, and he came to Zhangqiu to be the county magistrate.

"Actually, Fang Qiao's talent is still higher than mine. It's just that when he was a county lieutenant at the beginning of the year, he was young and inexperienced. He was dismissed by a group of local officials and refused to join forces. He abandoned the official in a fit of anger. Otherwise, I'm afraid he is more than just a county magistrate by now." Zhang Yichen said.

It is very common for those young officials to be ostracized by local officials when they go to the local government. For example, Zhang Yichen, the magistrate of the magistrate, has no real power in Zhangqiu.

There is also Du Ruhui, the first time in history that he served as a Fuyang county lieutenant, but not long after arriving there, he also abandoned his official position and returned.

Aristocratic family members are no different from ordinary officials. They are of good background and young. When they are dismissed, they are arrogant and unwilling to join them, so they simply throw their sleeves and leave.

"Xuanling must have been invited by Keming, right?" Zhang Yichen said.

"Well, I did make a request to Gao Shilang, but Gao Shilang let him come because of his talent."

Luo Cheng thought of Fang Mou's decision and would gather in Zhangqiu, and he didn't know whether to be happy or what.

It was Duan Yanshi, "County officer, isn't Duan Yanshi the elder brother of Duan Lushi? He is not an official in Taiyuan, so how could he come to Zhangqiu to be the master?"

Duan Yancheng was from Zouping, Qi County, and he had been a judicial secretary in Taiyuan County for some years.

Taiyuan Judicial Shuzuo is nothing more than an official, why did he become an official.

"He took part in the imperial examination last year and won the Jinshi."

Thirty young Jinshi, fifty old Mingjing.Although Duan Yancheng was in his 30s, he was considered young to have passed the Jinshi examination at this age, and the Duan family was also regarded as a family of officials, so after making some connections, he released a master book.

The Duan family was originally in the northwest, and they were the frontline generals against the Huns in the Han Dynasty.During the time of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, the ancestors of the Duan family also served as the captain of the Northland, and later the ancestors served as the guardian of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, and they were very famous in the Western Regions.

During the Han Dynasty, the Duan family had been in the Western Regions, fighting against the Xiongnu, quelling the Qiang rebellion, defending the frontiers, and making great achievements.

It's just that during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Duan family declined and became unknown.

It was not until the Northern Wei Dynasty in Xiliang that the Duan family finally regained its glory.

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, Duan Rong, Duan Shao and his sons of the Duan family followed Gao Huan to set up troops, fought south and north, and made great achievements again. They contributed to the establishment of the Gaoqi Dynasty, so they were reused. His family also made great progress in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It became the most popular family in Northern Qi at that time.

However, the Duan family, like the Fang family and Qin family in Licheng, once the Northern Qi Dynasty fell, these famous families that used to be in the Northern Qi Dynasty also fell.

In Duan Yanshi's generation, he could only work as a book assistant in Taiyuan County. Fortunately, the Duan family also had some family education. He abandoned martial arts and literature, but he also passed the imperial examination to get a Jinshi. Another effort.

However, I had some old grievances with Duan Yancheng, Duan Yanshi's younger brother, and now there is a new enmity because of the matter between Shi Xin and Duan Zhixuan. Duan Yanshi will be the master bookkeeper, I'm afraid there will be some troubles in the future.
