The heavens start from saving Daming

Emperor Liu Qi has more than a dozen sons, and those who are still alive are basically crowned kings.

According to probability, he should have quite a few daughters.

But the reality is that Liu Qi only has three daughters.

What is even more exaggerated is that these three daughters are all born of Wang Zhi.

Almost all of Liu Qi's favored concubines gave birth to sons, and even Wang Hao's younger sister, Wang Hao, gave birth to four sons in one go.

Only Wang Zhi gave birth to three daughters in a row, and finally Liu Zhi was born.

From this point of view, Liu Zhi's birth is really different.

Because there are few daughters, they are more valued.

Among them, the eldest daughter was named Princess Yangxin, and married Cao Shou, the heir of the veteran vassals, Marquis of Pingyang.

That's right, the historically known Princess Pingyang is actually the real title Princess Yangxin.

She is called Princess Pingyang because she married Cao Shou, Marquis of Pingyang, which is a kind of crown husband's surname.

As for Cao Shou, it is the Cao in "Xiao Gui Cao Sui", the great-grandson of the famous founding general Cao Shen.

The prince can marry a commoner as his wife, but the princess cannot marry, at least she must be a noble queen.

Here in Pingyang County is the food town of Pingyang Marquis Cao Shou. Theoretically, the entire county belongs to Cao Shou.

This kind of country within a country, whether it is a vassal state or a kingdom, is against the emperor's centralization of power. This is why Liu Qi wanted to cut down the vassal, which led to the Seven Kings Rebellion.

After the Seven Kings Rebellion was put down, the emperor Liu Qi took the opportunity to take back a lot of power to feud the country, but even so, Cao Shou was still the nominal master of Pingyang County.

When the people in the Dahan area served in the military, most of them went to Chang'an City to guard in rotation.

The same is true here in Pingyang County.

Of course, Pingyang County will not send soldiers and horses to Pingyang Hou's Mansion to guard, they just send county officials to do things in the Hou's Mansion.

There was a small official named Zheng Ji in Pingyang County. When he went to Pingyang Marquis Mansion on duty, he flirted with a maid in the mansion, and went home wearing black silk or something.

This maid is called Wei Wei.

Wei is the surname of her husband's family, and 媪 means old woman, madam.To put it simply, Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei.

In other words, these two people are so-so-so-so.

Wei Wei had three daughters and one son for her husband's family. The eldest daughter Wei Junru, the second daughter Wei Shaoer, the third daughter Wei Zifu, and the son Wei Changjun.

These are all considered to be the sons of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and servants from generation to generation.

Wei Zifu naturally needless to say, the famous Queen Wei.

But the second daughter, Wei Shaoer, has a son named Huo Qubing!

Wei Shao'er is very similar to her mother, and she also found a small official from Pingyang County to advance and retreat in private, and I would welcome you while foaming at the mouth, and then there was Huo Qubing.

Talk back.

Wei Wei and Zheng Ji fell in love, and gave birth to Zheng Ji's three sons in one breath.

The eldest son is called Wei Qing, the second son is called Wei Bu, and the youngest son is called Wei Bu.

Because he was born in Nasha, he naturally couldn't be named Zheng, so he assumed his husband's family name as Wei.

If Zheng Ji knew about Wei Qing's later achievements, he would definitely open an ancestral hall to invite him to recognize his ancestors.

In that case, it would not be the Hedong Wei family but the Hedong Zheng family.

Well, hundreds of years later, the Wei family had a descendant named Wei Zhongdao, who took a wife named Cai Wenji.

Obviously, Mrs. Wei's real husband, Mrs. Wei, looked down on these three sons of the Wei family, so Wei Qing had a very difficult life when he was a child.

After all, there are so many brothers and sisters, and they are all born in servants' families. What's more exaggerated is that Wei Shi, who is on the prairie above his head, gets angry when he sees them.

Because life was too difficult, Mrs. Wei had no choice but to send Wei Qing to Zheng Ji in Pingyang County to earn a living.

But Zheng Ji has his own family and his own sons, so he naturally doesn't like Wei Qing, a by-product of the spring breeze.

Not only was he not called the son of the Zheng family, but he was treated as free labor, and he was asked to herd sheep and cut grass all day long, and his life was not as good as in Pingyanghou's mansion.

If someone told him at this time that you could ride on Princess Shang in the future, Wei Qing would definitely beat him to death!

I have lived so hard, and you still come to make fun of me, it's too much!

On this day, Wei Qing drove a group of sheep to graze on a hillside outside Pingyang County.

The young Wei Qing was sitting on the grass covered with dry sheep dung, biting a grass root in his mouth, staring blankly at the blue sky in the distance.

He had had enough of this life that was worse than a servant, and planned to return to Pingyang Marquis Mansion after the new year.

Even being a servant to the Marquis of Pingyang is better than being here.

The sound of horseshoes gradually awakened Wei Qing. He turned his head in doubt and saw a group of knights galloping up to the small hillside.

Wei Qing's heart tightened, he didn't come here to grab his own sheep, this place is outside the county seat!

The knights glanced at the sheep not far away, without any emotion in their eyes.

When they were outside the Great Wall, they were really tired of eating.

In the end, his eyes fell on the skinny Wei Qing, "Boy, a sheep herder?"

".Yes."

Wei Qing got up, stood aside with his hands tied, and responded, "The Zheng family in Pingyang County is here to herd sheep."

The leader Shi Chang waved his hand, "Don't let go today, take your sheep home."

Wei Qing was taken aback, who cares about herding sheep these days?
He also has little knowledge, he doesn't know what an urban farmer is. Let alone herding sheep, ahem.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty." Wei Qing saluted cautiously. This is what he learned in Pingyang Hou's mansion, "If a certain person doesn't herd the sheep and go home, he will be taught by the owner of the house."

"Ok?"

The leader of the team was slightly surprised, "The ceremony is very good, it can't be seen that he is a sheep-herding boy. We are not fanatics, but the cavalry under the command of the King of Zhongshan!"

Speaking of this, Shi Chang continued with a proud face, "We will escort the king into Chang'an. This hillside is located next to the road into the city. We must be vigilant."

After all, he took out a few copper coins from his pocket and said to Wei Qing, "Leave quickly."

This team of cavalry is sentry cavalry, responsible for guarding and checking for risks along the way.

The hillside where Wei Qing is located is very close to the road into the city, if there is a dangerous place to set up a crossbow here, it must be checked out.

Hearing this, Wei Qing's eyes were full of envy.

At this time, the news that King Zhongshan went out to defeat the Xiongnu had already spread throughout the world.

In the big man with a strong martial arts style, the title of Zhongshan King is really impressive.

Looking at the mighty cavalry in front of him, Wei Qing's eyes were full of envy.

If possible, he would also like to go to King Zhongshan's command, ride horses and guns to wipe out the Xiongnu!

He leaned over and picked up the copper coin on the ground. It was smooth, bright and heavy, and it was the new Zhongshan coin that was popular all over the world recently.

Putting away the coins, Wei Qing bowed to the cavalry soldiers, then waved his whip, gathered the sheep on the hillside and drove them into the city.

For these cavalrymen, this is just an episode in the journey that is forgotten in a blink of an eye.

Of course they would not know that Li Yunze came to Pingyang County this time just for the cow herding boy in front of him.

The county seat of Pingyang County is not small, but it cannot accommodate thousands of armored soldiers.

Li Yunze just brought hundreds of guards into the county seat, while the rest of the soldiers set up camp outside the city.

The accompanying people were a little puzzled, they didn't understand why they didn't go directly to Fenglingdu, but took a detour to Pingyang County instead.

Naturally, some people followed suit. Could it be that the king has already started to make arrangements in advance to win over Pingyanghou?

For Li Yunze, let alone Cao Shou, Marquis of Pingyang, even if his great-grandfather Cao Shen came, or Cao Shou's descendants, Cao Cao came hundreds of years later, he didn't care.

There is only one real target, and that is Wei Qing who doesn't know where he is.

The county magistrate of Pingyang County and all the officials in the county government are well-informed, so they naturally know why the emperor recruited King Zhongshan to Chang'an this time.

Now that he knew it, of course he welcomed the king with great enthusiasm. That night, he held a banquet in honor of the king in the best mansion in the city, that is, in the other garden of Marquis of Pingyang.

They said they were entertaining the king, but in fact they didn't have the status and qualifications to entertain Li Yunze.

It was purely because Li Yunze wanted to find Wei Qing, so he agreed to attend the dinner party, and specifically asked all the county government officials to be called.

Naturally, the stewards of Bieyuan would not obstruct them, not only would they not obstruct them, on the contrary they were very enthusiastic.

Although the mistress is the sister of King Jiaodong, everyone can understand the current situation, and of course it is for the patriarch to consider.

If the hospitality is not good or even refused, then Pingyang Hou. Hehe.

People in the old Liu family have always been narrow-minded!
That night, the Pingyang Hou Bieyuan was brightly lit and very lively.

All the small officials in the county government are flattered that they can actually have a place in this kind of place and this kind of occasion!
You must know that the people sitting opposite are all the school captains of the Great Wall Legion and the important ministers of Zhongshan Kingdom!
The county magistrate of Pingyang sitting on the upper right side was also very emotional. If he fell into the eyes of King Zhongshan, wouldn't he have the opportunity to be the sheriff of two thousand shi in the future?
Even, entering the court?

Excited just thinking about it.

And the king is really kind, he has no airs at all, and he always has a smile on his face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

When Li Yunze asked the county magistrate to introduce a group of county government officials, the county magistrate also worked very hard, introducing his subordinates to the king one by one.

The so-called county, a county with ten thousand households is called an order, and a county with less than ten thousand households is called a head.

Knowing the affairs of a certain county is the so-called county magistrate, that is, Bailihou.

In a county, there are only a few people who can be called officials, such as the county magistrate, the master book, the county lieutenant, and the Jiaoyu, all of whom are appointed and dismissed by the imperial court.

Under this, there are Dianshi, Post Office, Taxation, Canglin, Hebo Ambassador, etc. who are not in the stream, that is, they have no establishment, and they can be regarded as powerful figures in the county.

If you go further down, you will be the official who does the specific work.

Taxation, punishment, military service, culture and education, water conservancy, farming, etc. are all officials, and the arresters are also officials.

Below the officials, there are non-staff temporary workers, doormen, grooms, treasury soldiers, watchmen, lanternmen, minzhuang and so on.

Today Li Yunze is kind, so ordinary officials are also qualified to enter the house.

". Huo Zhongru, this county"

Hearing this name, Li Yunze looked over immediately.

He has a good face, no wonder he is favored.

Historically, after Wei Shaoer wore black silk, Huo Qubing appeared.

However, he did not recognize Huo Qubing, but broke contact and returned to Pingyang County to marry a wife and have children.

Well, the son he gave birth to in Pingyang County is called Huo Guang.
