Chinese dining table

The rate of decay of an outcast class in any age is astonishing.

Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Qibi Heli, and Gao Kan participated in the battle of Liaodong, which was almost the last highlight moment of Zhenguan veterans.

After the war, these people have won the highest honor and the richest rewards, but this is also the final summary of their military career.

The emperor expects them to be able to adapt to the new era. If they cannot adapt, then they will gradually die out in the next few decades, and finally disappear.

After Yunchu left Yinggong's mansion, he went to Yanmen County's mansion to visit Liang Jianfang.

Although he knew that Liang Jianfang was in the Yinggong Mansion, he insisted on going to the Yanmen County Mansion to visit Liang Jianfang's wife, Mrs. Zhou.

Liang Jianfang is a tough guy who can do anything for his brothers, so he looks extremely stupid in officialdom.

Liang Jianfang also had two sons, who were exactly the same as Liang Jianfang. The eldest was a lieutenant in Zhechong in Qianzhou, a distant Jiangnan Road, and the second was a lieutenant in the Zuowuwei Yamen in the capital.

They are all honest people, just like Lao Liang, they have a bad temper and will not be an official. The boss took in a friend who committed a crime because of his loyalty. The censor gave a gift, not to mention the gift was withheld, but he was also responsible for bribing the censor.

Yunchu has always been very grateful to Lao Liang. After all, it was the existence of this old man that allowed him to make the first soft voice of the young phoenix in Chang'an.

It was meaningless to talk to Liang Jianfang, as long as he talked about their family's affairs, he would definitely ask Yunchu to help his brother deal with some extremely difficult things first, and talk about his own family's affairs later.

Liang Jianfang had a good friend named Gao Zengsheng. He joined forces with Tang Fengyi, the head of the Guangzhou Metropolitan Government, to frame Li Jing for rebellion. He was finally investigated and found to be fabricated out of nothing. Therefore, Gao Zengsheng was deprived of his official position and sent to the frontier to never use it.

Originally, this kind of stinky shit-like guy who framed people would hide as far away as possible from others. Unfortunately, Liang Jianfang did not do this. Instead, he kept pleading for this person. As long as he made a little bit of credit in the Western Regions and Liaodong, So he went to the emperor, hoping to use his own merits to cover the crimes of Zengsheng.

Emperor Taizong pitied him for being a muddleheaded person and didn't care about him as much as he did. The current emperor thought he was unreasonable and didn't care about him as much. Therefore, until now, Gao Zengsheng's family is still staying in a certain wilderness.

After Mrs. Zhou saw Yunchu, she began to cry, and she only hoped that when Yunchu went to the Western Regions, she could take her grandson Liang Ying away and raise him well.

This is also the purpose of Yun Chu's visit to the Liang family.

When he left the Yanmen county government mansion with Liang Ying in full gear, Liang Jianfang, who was moaning in pain, came back and met Yunchu at the door, and his grandson Liang Ying dressed for a long journey.

"Where are you taking my grandson?"

"Go to the Western Regions and be a big beast"

"Can you bring Gao Cheng with you, Gao Liang? Then you will have two more big animals at your disposal."

Yun Chu looked at Liang Jianfang, who was standing on the ground enduring the pain, and said, "You used me like a big animal back then, but now I treat your grandson like a big animal. This is called retaliation, and others don't care about me."

Liang Jianfang's eyes dimmed, and he turned his head to look at his tall grandson, his mouth trembled a few times and said, "Don't worry about your life, those who are willing to die won't get out."

After speaking, he didn't look at his grandson Liang Ying who was kneeling at his feet, but looked at Yun Chu in a pleading tone, "Don't put him to death."

Yunchu's eyes were sore. He clearly remembered that it was the same person back then, who drank and ate meat with the king of Huihe in a large bowl on the high platform. The Beijing Temple was burning, and with an order, two or three hundred Huihe deserters were thrown into the Beijing Temple alive, and the screams and music mingled together.

It was at that time that Yunchu first saw a powerful Tang from Liang Jianfang.

However, ten years have passed, and the violent, mighty and invincible commander in the past, the man who could pull out the spine of the enemy chieftain and use it as a whip, has become the begging man in front of him, begging him not to send his grandson to death elder.

Yun Chu always thought that a person like him would be tough for the rest of his life, and he would never say a word of softness until he died. Even after death, his bones would sound like gold and iron when struck.

After ten years, the iron in a tough guy's body has finally been worn away.

"Liang Ying is 17 years old and has good martial arts skills. She can be my servant."

Hearing what Yunchu said, Liang Jianfang showed a smile on his face, grabbed Yunchu's arm and said, "The old lady doesn't know how to entertain people, let's go, let's go drink."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I'm going to the military camp, I can't drink alcohol, I have told the old lady to arrange your forbidden diet, take good care of your illness, and when I come back, I will arrange for you to have a leg amputation operation."

Liang Jianfang laughed loudly and said, "I kicked you with my left foot many times back then, and you held a grudge. If you don't saw off this left foot of this old man, you won't let it go, will you? Well, you are going far away soon, and this old man won't hold you back." , when you come back, the old man will give you this foot, and have another drink.”

A smile appeared on Yunchu's face, and he said to Liang Jianfang, "Brother's bullets have been taken out, even if Zhechong is no longer a captain, he will be demoted to be a captain of Guoyi. It's not difficult to turn back and rush to the captain, and the matter of the second brother's bribery has also been discussed with the censors, but it was just a misunderstanding, and the matter will be exposed."

Liang Jianfang heard that his two sons' misfortunes had also been dealt with by Yunchu. As soon as his eyes lit up, he grabbed Yunchu before he was about to speak, but was gagged by Mrs. Zhou who sent Yunchu out and guarded him. dragged back to the mansion.

Yunchu turned his head to Liang Ying, who was standing beside him indignantly, and said, "In the future, if there is a chance, I will kill that Gao."

Liang Ying nodded and said, "I have had this intention for a long time."

At the beginning of Yun, Liang Ying and Liang Ying left Chang'an City and came to the military camp on the edge of the Qujiang River. At this time, there were bonfires everywhere in the military camp, and rough men drinking, singing and wrestling everywhere.

Among the people selected this time, [-]% are government soldiers who followed Yunchu to fight in Liaodong in the past, [-]% are retired thieves, snitches, and bandits specially selected by Yunchu, and the other [-]% are bad guys from Wannian Chang'an County. people.

Seventy percent of the people here are dedicated to doing business in the Western Regions, and by the way, destroy the main force of horse thieves, bandits, mountain thieves, and sand thieves along the way. Sasanian, the main force to bring back the treasure of the Sassanian Kingdom.

Yunchu didn't intend to help the Sassanid Kingdom recover. A country that was destined to be swept into the dustbin of history has no need to revive it.

It is better to use that money to let the people of Chang'an live a better life, which is serious.

This was Liang Ying's first time entering the military camp when he grew up. Ever since his grandfather stepped down from the position of General of the Right Guard, the army seemed very far away to him.

Following Yunchu into the brightly lit Chinese army tent, Liang Ying left her luggage and took the initiative to stand at the entrance of the army tent with Ma Qian, taking on the duty of a personal soldier.

Rourou has been busy in the military tent for a long time. Seeing Yunchu coming in, she stood up and put a thick stack of documents in Yunchu's hand and said, "There are many difficulties. Even if His Majesty agreed, they still gave us a lot of procedural troubles." , There are documents from the Ministry of War, documents from the Ministry of Households, documents from the Ministry of Officials, documents from the Ministry of Industry, etc. We have to go through each department. Oh, by the way, we just received the documents from the Shaofu Supervisor.

Every document has only one purpose—to ask for money, and every department wants to make a profit after we come back.

My suggestion is to find someone they can't refuse to go through the paperwork for us, and once the paperwork is cleared, travel immediately.

Also, whether it is feasible for us to ignore any stakeholder's behavior this time, should we discuss it again.

Otherwise, even if we come back safely, we will be the target of public criticism.”

Yun Chu thought for a while, since the downfall of the Changsun family, all the officials in the court have completely become mobs, and there has never been a strong official like Changsun Wuji.

After this period of mobs, there will be a cruel era of cruel officials, and everyone will have no time to protect themselves.

So, he decided to ignore these people.

"Now the crown prince supervises the country, he will handle this matter well"

"It's probably not a good thing to get close to the prince with great fanfare at this time, right?"

"When did we hide the fact that we are close to the prince?"

"It's better to be known than to be seen by others. You don't know the secret of being an official, do you?"

"With His Majesty's suspicious character, if he approached the crown prince openly, he might not have extra thoughts. After all, the crown prince is also a king, and sooner or later he will have his own team. This is allowed by the imperial power.
The emperor can't tolerate sneaking close to the prince, because doing so can easily make the emperor think of things like conspiracy

To be honest, I think His Majesty has seen and felt too many conspiracies, which made him disgusted with conspiracies from the bottom of his heart

So, tomorrow, I will ask the prince for help in a fair manner, and it is correct to help with these things that we can't do at all."

He smiled softly and said, "Well, I hope nothing bad will happen if you do this. By the way, there are a few snitches in our team who behaved disorderly and were beheaded by me."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "How dare they be insecure here?"

He said softly and resentfully, "I don't know why I got used to being a thief, but I actually stole from my own head."

"What did they steal?" Yun Chu asked curiously.

"Dry rations brought by the soldiers from home"

"Steal dry food? Didn't they have anything to eat?"

"Yes, the problem is that the oily and spicy peppers brought by those soldiers were unforgettable after eating, so they stole them."

Hearing that the hot pepper was connected to this matter, Yunchu immediately came to ask with interest, "Tell me, the oily hot pepper will be sold in small quantities in the big cafeteria after half a month. Where did those soldiers get it?"

Looking at Yun Chu with a gentle smile that was not a smile, he said, "East Palace!"

Hearing this, Yunchu gasped and said, "This little guy also knows to add sand to our team?"

Wenrou chuckled and said, "Instead of saying this, it's better to say that His Majesty is mixing sand into our team. His Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that we would not find out, so he reminded us with chili peppers, ah, how old are you, and you started talking to his father?" You are playing tricks, it seems that our life will not be as easy as you think in the future.”
