Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 329
Xun Fang was thinking at home, how to arrange a suitable order, which would not appear to be climbing the ladder, but also allow him to get an official position just right.After thinking about it, someone suddenly called the door.Xun Fang was surprised, usually few people came to visit, who is here today.So he watched the servants go to open the door, only to see a purple-robed official coming in, and Xun Fang ordered one.Didn't this person who came to the door in an official uniform come right after the discussion was over?So anxious, why?No matter why, Xun Fang rushed out to welcome him.

I saw that the people outside did not call names, but let a young man come in to report. The young man said in front of Xun Fang: "This is Shang Shuxing's right servant She, Master Xiao Yu Xiao, please meet him quickly." This is to not be noticed, but also to give Xun face.

Xun Fang tidied up his clothes, walked away and bowed his hands to greet him: "Xun Fang, a grass-roots man, welcomes Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao is here, and our house is full of splendor!"

Xiao Yu gave a little support and said, "Hey, you are Xun Fang, right?"

Xun Fang cupped his hands and said, "It's a great honor to meet you today because of Xiao. Master Xiao, please come inside."

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, as expected of Mr. Xu's family, everyone is outstanding."

So the two sat in the main hall, and the servants of the family brought refreshments and snacks to Xiao Yu's subordinates.

Xun Fang and Xiao Yu drank a cup of green tea together, and Xun Fang said: "I don't know what is the purpose of Mr. Xiao's visit, but my brother-in-law has already entered the palace as a servant."

Xiao Yu praised the good tea, and replied: "Xun Fang, this time I'm not looking for Mr. Xu, I'm here for you."

Xun Fang hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My boy is terrified, why did Prime Minister Xiao come to the door, I am ashamed."

Xiao Yu laughed, asked Xun Fang to sit down, then took out a document from his sleeve and said: "The former imperial court conscripted you as an official in the capital, but you refused to be Master Xu's housekeeper, now Master Xu has arrived Chang'an, I am asking you, do you intend to be an official?"

Xun Fang pondered for a while and said: "If you are good at learning, you will be an official. The kid naturally has the wish to be an official, but why don't you know if you have enough knowledge?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "It's fine if you want to be an official, but I'm afraid you don't want to be an official. Uh, then what kind of official do you want to be?"

Xun Fang said solemnly: "My brother-in-law is the one I admire the most. If I can be an official like my brother-in-law and benefit the other party, it will become a long-cherished wish."

Xiao Yu revealed the look of being sure, and unfolded the document: "Xun Fang, listen to the order!"

Xun Fang had seen the document a long time ago, so he must have bowed down immediately: "Xun Fang, a grassroots man, is here!"

Xiao Yu read: "Xun Fang Xuande Mingen, observes festivals and takes advantage of the festival, and stays loyal and upright. He is specially elected as the county magistrate of Zitong County on the Sichuan-Shu Road. When the order arrives, he will leave within three days and arrive within two months."

Xun Fang suddenly became excited, this is an official, since then he has stepped into a class that is completely different from the common people, how can he not be excited.Although he used to be no worse than a seventh-rank official in Chang'an City, he was a grassroots man after all. When he saw an official, he would kneel down and worship him, but now it is different.

Immediately he said: "The grassroots accept the order!" It's just a county magistrate, but he is directly appointed by the Ministry of officials and reported to the three provinces for approval.But today, Xu Qing helped the court a lot by discussing it in his door, leaving hundreds of thousands of silver, and the officials of course wanted to repay the favor.Coincidentally, there was a vacancy for the county magistrate in the report on the Chuanshu Road, so everyone filled in Xun Fang.

It's just that when Xiao Yu came to see her off, it meant to win over Xu Qing.

"Oh, by the way, Master Xiao, the foreign official entrusted my brother-in-law to bring a charcoal gift, shall I let someone take it back with you?" Xun Fangqi said, among the pile of gifts, it was for Xiao Yu There are more, and after delivering this pile, the next step will be much easier.

Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, and drank a few more cups of tea.Seeing that he liked green tea so much, Xun Fang gave him a few boxes and told him not to drink too much at night.

Zhao Gong led Xu Qing to the Xuanwu Gate, but unfortunately, Xu Qing still didn't remember how he got there, he just remembered to turn left and right, go through the gates, and walk through the corridors.After walking for a long time, Zhao Gong pointed forward, this is the Xuanwu Gate.

Xu Qing looked forward and saw a huge iron gate locking the gap in the city wall. Inside the gate was the big red gate with 88 nails. Behind this gate was a deep arched passage.Above the arched corridor, there is a house built with yellow tiles and red walls, which looks like a county government.Xu Qing sighed, this is not a gate, this is simply a city.

The door is closed, on the city wall there is a whistle every three steps, and a post every five steps.

This Xuanwu Gate is divided into inner and outer gates, what Xu Qing saw was only the inner gate, while the outer gate was even more powerful.It is said to be a gate, but it is a majestic gate. There is a school field between the inner and outer gates, which can accommodate a battalion of warriors and gallop horses. Above the inner gate is the official residence of the guard of Xuanwu Gate, as well as the left and right gate supervisors.The soldiers chasing after the battalion outside the gate are regarded as the subordinate soldiers of the general guarding the Xuanwu Gate.A battalion of six teams, a team of six groups, a group of 60 people, plus auxiliary soldiers, a battalion of 3000 people.The six teams took turns guarding the Xuanwu Gate. Due to the goalkeeper, there was no battalion.Under Xu Qing, there are six team leaders.

Approaching Xuanwu Gate, the soldiers on the city wall shouted: "Who are you? If you want to pass through the gate, please show your warrant."

Zhao Gong replied: "Bold, it is General Yunhui, who is personally appointed by the Holy Majesty, the guardian of the Xuanwu Gate. Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome the Shangguan to take office!" When Xu Qing heard this voice, this Zhao Gong was shouting. Genius, if you keep this person by your side, wouldn't it be easier to swear in the future?

The soldiers on the city were startled, but they didn't open the city gate immediately, but went to ask their superiors.Soon, a person came out, saw him mighty and majestic, with a knife and armor on his shoulders, walked to the wall and clasped his fists and said: "My subordinate Zhuge Yan, please refer to the superior officer, please show me the seal and tiger talisman, otherwise, the inferior officer will not be able to follow orders. "

Zhao Gong stopped yelling, turned around and showed Xu Qing a embarrassed expression, which meant that this procedure was really inevitable.Xu Qing didn't care either, and took out the tiger talisman from his bosom to signal: "Here is the tiger talisman, first open the city gate, and show you the Guan seal and the official seal."

Xu Qing's official seal is "General Yunhui", and Guan Yin is "General Xuanwu".

As soon as the tiger talisman came out, all the soldiers on the city wall bowed down and shouted: "Hello, general!"

Crashing, there was a mechanical sound, and the gate went up, and then, with a creak, the Zhumen opened.But I saw that there were two rows of sergeants inside, Zhuge Yan was in the middle and came out to meet them.When he walked to the door, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty pays homage to the general, please show the seal."

Xu Qing smiled, it seems that the Guan seal and the tiger talisman are indispensable, and she was not upset, she took out the Guan seal and handed it to Zhuge Yan, Xu Qing smiled and said: "General Zhuge, do you still want to see my official seal?" ?”

Zhuge Yan looked at Guan Yin, and hurriedly said: "The last general dare not,"

Xu Qing laughed, Zhuge Yan stood up, raised his hand behind him and said: "Please, General Xu, come in!"

"General Xu, please suppress the Xiongguan Pass!"

"General Xu, please suppress the Xiongguan Pass!"

"General Xu, please suppress the Xiongguan Pass!"
