Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 436

Today's Zhangqiu City is very lively, decorated with lanterns and festoons, as if celebrating the New Year ahead of schedule.

In the small city of Zhangqiu, there is a mansion of the Duke of Qi built by imperial edict. The mansion of the Duke of Qi was completed in less than a month, occupying the southern half of Zhangqiu City, with indescribable luxury.

A whole street was covered, and a big archway was erected at each end of the street.

The gate of the mansion is even more painted with red lacquer. There are two lions standing in front of the gate and two rows of halberds inside the gate.

"The Deputy Envoy of the Twelve Counties of Henan Province, Zhang Gong, the Prefect of Xingyang, has arrived!"

Du Fuwei, the extremely fierce swordsman on the Liaodong battlefield, stood in front of the gate of Duke Qi's mansion as a welcome guest, singing and announcing the names of the guests loudly.

Anyway, he is now a fifth-rank General Yingjilang, but this one is very happy standing here. After all, he snatched this welcoming position, and there are too many left fifth army generals who want to stand here.

Zhang Xutuo, with a half-white beard and hair, dismounted in front of the memorial arch early, and came here on foot. His attendants handed over his name stickers and gift slips, and then he was greeted by Kan Leng and entered through a side door.

Although the middle gate of Duke Qi's mansion is large, it will not be opened unless the emperor comes.

"Minister Cui Gong is here!"

Cui Junsu came over with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, an attendant came up to hand over the gift list. Wei Laodao, who was in charge of recording, glanced at it, and was a little stunned. There are two silver shops, four restaurants and restaurants, and hundreds of servants.

"Qinghe Cui's Zhengzhou Fang is really rich and powerful, and he is extraordinary when he makes a move."

Sitting next to him, Wang Ziming said softly, "Is this a dowry for Cui Qiniang?"

"Of course not. Cui Qiniang's dowry is more than that. This is Cui Shangshu's gratitude to Luo Shuai for helping him enter the court."

The family background of five surnames and seven families is indeed strong enough, even if Cui Junsu is just a branch patriarch of Qinghe Cui, he can still make such a big deal.

"Duke Du, Governor of Beihai, has arrived!"

Du Ruhui also changed into the scarlet robe. He was able to wear the scarlet robe when he was less than thirty years old, and sat on the position of prefect of a county. It really made him radiant. He didn't give any big gifts, but he gave two boxes of tea. They are all high-quality teas, which are extremely precious to tea lovers.

"Fang Gong, the prefect of Qi County, is here!"

"Henan Inspector Zhang Gong is here!"

Fang Xuanling and Zhang Yichen almost came together. Zhang Yichen, the former old boss of Luo Cheng and the former county magistrate of Zhangqiu, is still the governor of Silitai, who is the governor of Henan Province.Although the grade is not high, a sixth-rank official, but after all, he is the inspector of Silitai in charge of the twelve counties in Henan, and he has a lot of power.

But looking at these subordinates in the past, each of them is now either a prince or a prefect. It would be a lie to say that they are not jealous.

"Back then I knew that although Shi Cheng was something in the pond, he is really amazing now."

Now, looking at the tall gate house of the Luo family, Zhang Yichen secretly regretted that he underestimated Luo Cheng at the beginning. The woman was promised to Luo Cheng as her concubine, or he would be Duke Qi's father-in-law now.

"Yes, Shijun has a good eye. At the beginning, he saw Sergeant Cheng at first glance and promoted him to an official career. Later, he saw Shubao at a glance. At that time, Shubao was just a commander of the army, and now he has been promoted to the capital of Qi County. Captain, the future is boundless."

Hearing this, Zhang Yichen felt a little relieved.

"Dongjun County Chancellor Zhai Gong, Qi County Duwei Qin Gong, Dongjun Facao Huang Gong, Dongping County School Lieutenant Xu Gong, Jibei County School Lieutenant Cheng Gong, Jiyin County School Lieutenant Shan Gong~~to~"

Du Fuwei dragged out the end, loudly announcing the six accompanying people.

These six were all sworn brothers of Luo Cheng at the beginning, and they were all powerful men in Henan. Now that Luo Cheng came back, he immediately promoted these brothers, and he didn't even try to hide his intention to reuse these cronies.

"Hello, Brother Zhai, Hello, Second Brother Shan, Hello, Third Brother Qin, Hello, Fourth Brother Cheng, Hello, Fifth Brother Huang, and Hello, Sixth Brother Xu." Du Fuwei called people one by one.

Zhai Rang stretched out his hand and patted Du Fuwei, "I haven't seen you for two years. Your boy has grown so tall now. I heard that you performed very fiercely in Liaodong. Now you are the general of Eagle Fighter."

"It's good to follow Fifth Brother, it's Fifth Brother who supports me."

Shan Xiongxin tightly held Du Fuwei's palm with a pair of iron hands, "Luo Cheng brought back Li Sanniang and Cui Qiniang, tell me about the situation." Du Fuwei was a little embarrassed and didn't know where to start.

Cheng Yaojin slapped Shan Xiongxin on the back.

"I said, second brother, don't embarrass Du Da. If you are unhappy, you can go directly to Luo Qidi."

Shan Xiongxin withdrew his hand, "I was just joking, there's nothing wrong with it. Seventh brother Luo is now the Duke of the state, and it's normal for him to take in a few concubines. As long as he doesn't spoil his concubines and destroy his wives, I have no reason to ask him for guilt."

"That's pretty much the same. Second brother, you yourself are four or five concubines, so there's no reason to stop seventh brother from taking concubines." Cheng Yaojin laughed.

"Okay, let's go in."

The six of them also brought many friends over, for example, Zhai Rang brought his elder brother Zhai Hong, nephew Zhai Mohou, friends Wang Ruxin and Jia Xiong.

But Shan Xiongxin brought Bing Yuanzhen, Cheng Yaojin brought Niu Jinda, and Xu Shiji brought Su Dingfang and Zu Junyan.

These people are basically descendants of the former Northern Qi officials and aristocrats. Now they are politically unhappy, they are local tyrants, and the world is in chaos. They recruit village braves to protect their families and people.

There are many guests in the hall of Duke Qi's mansion.

There are a group of old brothers from Luo Cheng's Left Five Army, such as the former sub-general Song Laosheng, Chang Shi Hou Mo Chen Yi and general Feng Xiaoci who just arrived, as well as Murong Changsheng, Yu Chiliang who never left, and the Xue family. The Wanche Wanjun brothers.

In addition, the veterans of the Luo family army are also present today, including Cunxiao, Siye, Shixin, Zhao Gui, Zhou Dewei, Du Fuwei, Fu Gonger, etc., as well as Luocheng's five vajra guards Guo Xiaoke, Li Junxian, Wang Junkuo, and Zhang Liang. , Wang Tiehan, and Luo Cheng's three righteous sons Kan Leng, Ximen Junyi, and Wang Xiongdan.

In addition, there are Wei Zheng, Wang Ziming, Chai Xiaohe, Qi Guoyuan, Li Rugui and so on.

Then there are Zhang Xutuo, Zhang Yichen, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Cui Junsu and other good officials, and Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Su Lie, Xu Shiji, Huang Junhan, Bing Yuanzhen and a group of heroes.

What a crowd.

Looking at these people, Luo Cheng felt that he had advisers like clouds and generals like rain.

In terms of counselors and ministers, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Zu Junyan, Jia Xiong, Zhang Yichen, Wang Ziming, Chai Xiaohe, Hou Mochen Yi, etc. are all.

And there are more fierce generals, Qin Shubao, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yao, Jin Shanxiong, Xin Su Dingfang, Huang Jun, Hanniu Jinda, etc., which one is not strong?Not to mention his old brothers from the Left Fifth Army who have survived many battles.

If these people are the basis for opening a government, Luo Cheng feels that he can compete in the world.
