A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 255 Reuniting the Old Department
Coming out of the Tingyu Building, Huaiyu was still thinking about this sister-in-law in the carriage, not because she was thinking about her seductive temperament, she was the emperor's woman, she couldn't even think about it, and she was guilty of thinking about it.

What he was thinking about was what his aunt told him about Li Yi. Although he knew that Li Yi was dead, he never expected that the emperor would arrange for him to stab him in the end.

Not only did Li Yi have to die, but the method of death had already been arranged for him.

Take out the token of the six doors on your side.

The token of Bai Ze, on it is an auspicious beast with the head of a tiger, red hair and horns.

Legend has it that this beast with a human face and a tiger head can speak, understand the emotions of all things, know the things of ghosts and gods, and can eliminate all evil spirits in the world. It will only appear when the king of the world is virtuous.

In ancient times, when the Yellow Emperor was patrolling the East China Sea, Bai Ze appeared in the world, spit out human words, and told the emperor about the world's monsters, ghosts and gods. There are a total of 520 kinds.

The aunt's code name is Nine-Tailed Fox, and she is also one of the strange beasts on Bai Ze's picture.

Inexplicably, he became one of the four chiefs of the six sects, Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal and Constitutional Department, but he got such a Bai Ze Ling. He has a lot of tasks to go to Yanzhou. He has to kill Li Yi along the way, recover Yanzhou, and Secretly establish the Shuofang Bureau of Six Doors.

Everything has to start from scratch,
He really didn't want to do this, but the emperor chose him, so he had no room to refuse.

Bai Ze, does the emperor regard him as his auspicious sign?

The ceremonial robes of the great generals of the Tang Dynasty, General Zhonglang and other high-ranking generals are all embroidered with Baize, and the Baize flag is also embroidered in the ceremonial book of the emperor.

When I got home, I found Zhao Xin, Chen Xing, Hou San, Xu Erlianzi, Wu Junwei and other old Longyou tribes drinking at home.

Seeing Huaiyu coming back, they all stood up to greet him.

"When did you arrive?"

"I arrived early in the morning and stayed overnight at the Weiqiao post station last night. As soon as the city gate opened at dawn, we entered the city." Xu Erlian looked enviously at Huaiyu's purple robe and golden jade belt with a goldfish bag. Ah, Erlang has already changed into a purple robe now."

Chen Xing came up with a smile, "This gold and jade belt is just beautiful."

"The purple robe looks better." Xin Zhao also came up.

Huaiyu looked at these guys and found that they had changed a lot. For example, Zhao Xin and Chen Xing, in Chang'an City half a year ago, one was the Li family's procurement manager, and the other was a foreigner from Xishi, but now his voice is loud, Standing there, people even feel much taller.

"They're all fat," Huaiyu said with a smile.

"We are very relaxed and leisurely in Zhang County. The days are comfortable, and the flesh is growing. I have gained thirty catties." Zhao Dao said.

These guys are all eighth or ninth-rank officials. In Zhang County, Longyou, Emperor Tiangao said that Huaiyu had divided the interests of Yanjing Village before he left, and they lived comfortably.

It may be difficult for others to guard the frontier, but they are definitely enjoying the blessing.

In less than half a year, everyone has accumulated a considerable amount of money, bought fields and land, married wives and concubines, and lived a very comfortable life.

If it wasn't for Huaiyu's call, they would really be reluctant to leave.

"I know you have a comfortable life in Zhang County, but I still invite you to Yanzhou this time, do you have any objections?"

"Erlang is supporting us. Following Erlang, there is a chance to be rewarded for meritorious service. This opportunity is something we can't wish for." Xin Zhao said with a smile, patting his chest.

They are very clear that they have their current official positions and wealth, which are all thanks to Huaiyu, and they have unconditional trust in Huaiyu.

"The house that Erlang bought is really big, much bigger than that in Huaiyuan Square."

"I think back then, we were more lively in the small house in Huaiyuanfang. It's a pity that we couldn't come to participate in the wedding of Erlang and Lady Fan."

"In a blink of an eye, the eldest lady is pregnant with a child."

The brothers meet again and chat happily.

Huaiyu sent someone to invite Su Lie, Chen Sheng, Xu Da, Niu Jianwu and the others to come, they all wanted to go to Shuofang together, and we will get together today.

Hou San couldn't help but ask Hei Wa, the eldest son of his family.

"He is now studying with Saburo in the ethnology school, and he only comes back every ten days on the ten-day holiday. The rest of the time, he and Saburo live and eat in the ethnology school. It is a closed boarding system. Those who are not allowed to go out are strictly controlled."

Hou Sandao, "It's good to be strict, but I don't know if Erlang gave him this opportunity, this kid is useless, can he learn with his heart, his brain can learn without learning."

This old buddy of the old military, who was the team deputy in Longyou, has changed a lot. Although he is still so dark, his face has become slightly fatter, and the blue military uniform of the ninth rank military officer on his body suits him a lot. A bit of temperament.

After becoming an official and getting rich because of salt, the whole temperament has indeed changed a lot.

But when facing Huaiyu, Hou San was still very respectful.

His wife and children, except for the eldest son Heiwa and Huai Yurang stayed in Chang'an to study, the others were sent to Longyou last winter.

The current Hou San has more than 300 mu of land in Weizhou, has two concubines, more than ten slaves, and his own salt cooking stove and firewood workshop, and has partnered with others to set up a salt caravan. The county can also be regarded as a small tyrant.

But he didn't forget that all of this was given to him by Wu Huaiyu.

When he returned to Beijing this time, he specially prepared many gifts, for Lao Wu, for the Liu family, for Huaiyu and Huaiyi brothers, for Lady Fan, and even for Runniang and Yu'e. He carried two horses piecemeal.

Looking at the gift list he asked someone to write, Huaiyu smiled and said, "Uncle Hou, our family, why are you being so polite?"

One after another, Niu Jianwu and Su Lie came, Chen Sheng, Zhao Yi, Xu Jizu came, and then Ma Zhou Yu'e came, and even Cheng Chumo Wangda came here on purpose when he heard they were coming.

Lao Wu came back from get off work early.

The Shouyang Hou Mansion was suddenly very lively.

The two brothers Chen Xing and Chen Sheng reunited and looked at each other's official robes. They were both very emotional. Li Jing's family slaves back then have now become eighth-rank military officers with the help of his brother-in-law Huaiyu.

Over there, Xu Erganzi and his elder brother Xu Erganzi also embraced passionately. Back then, the eldest brother Xu Erganzi took over his father's class and joined the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army. He also became the vice-president of the ninth-rank team.

On the contrary, it is Xu Erganzi, who is still only the leader.

As soon as Zhao Yi came, he immediately hugged his sworn brother Xin Zhao. The two beggars who used to beg for a living in the two cities, now one has become a military officer, and the other is also a respectable treasurer of the Wu family in the two cities of Chang'an. , a cyan military officer's military uniform, and the other also put on a decent robe.

Zhao Xin and the others were very moved when they saw that Ma Zhou was also wearing a purple robe and a goldfish bag. Back then when they went to Longyou together, Ma Zhou was just a poor scholar and Huaiyu's entourage. Everyone had the same status. Who would have thought that, Now Jin Zifeng has been granted the Baron of Gaotang County.

He also married Huaiyu's eldest sister. This guy is really a winner in life.

Ma Zhou was also very enthusiastic about these former companions. Although his official position was high or low, he had no status.

"Erlang, let's get together again this time, and go to Shuofang, why don't all of Liang Shidu be killed?"

"That's right, back then Erlang was only a school inspector and a medical officer, and he could kill Turkic wolf cubs crying and howling like ghosts. Now he's going to be the governor, let alone that."

Everyone laughed.

Cheng Chumo looked at the scene, and also recalled the original Zhengrong, he said enviously, "Envy, nothing but envy, but I can only be envious in Chang'an."

Cheng Chumo's official rank is not low now, the Viscount of Dong'e County, the left leader of the Qianqi Battalion.

"I also really want to go to Shuofang with Erlang." Cheng Chumo sighed, his father will soon be the governor of Luzhou, and the commander of the military affairs of the six states in Shu. As the eldest son of old Cheng, Chumo originally wanted to go with him, but his superiors did not agree , He wanted to go to Shuofang again, but he still didn't agree.

"There are plenty of opportunities, so what's the rush?"

Cheng Chumo quietly told Huaiyu a piece of news, "Yesterday, I, Aye, was summoned to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. Your Majesty said that he would marry the eleventh princess to my second brother."

"Good thing."

As an upstart, Lao Cheng also wanted to go further. For this reason, he even took the initiative to hook up with Qinghe Cui's widow at the expense of his old face, and was scolded by many people in Chang'an.

Widow Cui is still only the emperor's cousin.

Now that Li Shimin was willing to marry his daughter to his son, Lao Cheng couldn't tell how happy he was. Although the eldest sons of five surnames and seven families might not look up to the royal princess, for a relative like Lao Cheng, it would be a nightmare to wake up with laughter.

"Princess Eleven is only four years old." Cheng Chu said in a low voice.

"How old is your second brother, Chu Liang?"

"fourteen,"

The difference of ten years doesn't sound that big, but the princess is only four years old, and Li Shimin is willing to go to great lengths to win over heroes.

"What's the name of Princess Eleven?" Huaiyu thought to herself that it must be Princess Gaoyang.

"How can we know the princess' boudoir name, it seems to be named Dexian."

Biaozi Dexian?

"Do you know who the princess' biological mother is?"

"It seems to be a low-level concubine surnamed Gao, who seems to have passed away."

Surname Gao, dead?
Huaiyu immediately thought of Gao Huitong, the fake mother of Tingyulou who had just parted, the charming six-door nine-tailed fox, and her concubine Gao Hui'an's sister.

It can't be such a coincidence.

"The surname is Gao, isn't it Gao Dao who died of illness in April last year?"

"It seems to be." Cheng Chumo said.

Huaiyu really didn't know what to say now.

Isn't the sister-in-law's daughter her own niece? It's quite complicated for her niece to marry her brother Cheng Chumo's younger brother Chu Liang.

Huaiyu didn't talk about it any more.

Cheng Chumo didn't talk anymore, he is the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, according to the usual practice, Princess Shang, the son of a hero, is usually the second son, and rarely chooses the eldest son.

He didn't really envy his younger brother's ability to honor the princess. Although the five princess concubines of the Supreme Emperor of this dynasty are all very good, and their official positions are also very high, there are few men who are really willing to honor the princess.

After all, when ordinary people get married, that's called marrying a wife, while the royal princess can only be called Princess Shang, which is a bit of a backdoor, and even has to live in the princess's mansion after marriage. Miserably, there is probably no chance for concubinage by then.

"Erlang, you went to Yanzhou this time, you really have a strong army," Chu Mo envied this more, that he left the town of Yizhou governor at such a young age, and still led his troops to attack the puppet Liang.

"To destroy Liang Shidu, there will definitely be soldiers in the end. Aren't Consort Chai and Xue Wanche training troops to prepare for the battle? When the time comes, you will find an opportunity and find a way to join them. If you go north with the army, you still have a chance to make meritorious service."

Cheng Chu sighed silently, "I'd rather exchange with Su Dingfang now, and be your Yanzhou Sima, even with that kid Niu Jianwu, or just be an individual general."

"You are now the commanding army of Qianqi Zuo, a majestic forbidden army, and Yanzhou can't accommodate you."

Seeing so many guests today, especially the old man Hou San, Lao Wu was very happy, and said to Huai Yi, "Hurry up and ask someone to kill the sheep and the chicken, and kill two sheep."

Hou San volunteered to help but kill the sheep.

"Why don't you grill and drink while grilling skewers. I have freshly brewed persimmons. You must try it. The wine is as strong as fire and very exciting." Huaiyu laughed.

So everyone responded with a smile, thinking that barbecue is more interesting.

Wei Siren, Hou Wei Siren of Cucumber County, who came a little late, was surprised to see the extremely lively scene in the martial arts courtyard. There are two purple robes, five scarlet robes, and a pile of green robes in this courtyard, old and young, big and small. There is no strict distinction between superiority and inferiority, where they are skewered and grilled, and they are drunk directly.

An Yuanshou and Lu Huairang came uninvited, "Wei Changshi, what are you doing standing there at the door?"

Lu Huairang looked at the excitement in the courtyard, and said with a smile, "What a familiar scene, it reminds me of the days when I was with Marquis Wu in Longyou, it's really nostalgic."

Zhang Chengde, Liu Xu, Lai Ji and other civil officials who came late were also very surprised to see the scene.

Huaiyu smiled at everyone, "Don't be restrained, don't be polite, just be casual."

Su Dingfang kept secretly observing while wearing the strings. He found that there were quite a lot of guests, especially with different identities, but every guest who came was very close to Wu Huaiyu, and they were very close to nature. .
