Chastity Layman

  Chapter 1289 Old students

  There is a lot of traffic in front of the Qin Mansion on Cherry Island.

  All kinds of expensive and luxurious carriages lined up in long lines, from the street to the end of the alley. Countless people wanted to visit this Duke Qin who resigned after hanging the crown and was still crowned as the King of Luzon.

  But the Qin family doesn't even accept name stickers, and they can't send in gifts, let alone meet.

  Qin Lang had already gone to the bamboo garden in Ludaofang.

Before parting, Qin Lang met some old friends for tea, Xu Jingzong from the neighbor, Ma Zai Ma Xun, son of Ma Zhou next door, Lai Ji Lai Heng brothers, Pei Xingjian, Luo Tong and Li Yifu, Wang Dejian and Xin Mao generals. , Ren Ya equal.

  Cui Dunli, Cheng Yaojin, Jia Runfu also came.

   This can be regarded as Qin Lang's strong ally in Beijing. Before leaving, he naturally wants to have a chat.

   "Master, the student is late!"

  Shangguanyi, dressed in a scarlet robe, came in, and greeted Qin Lang very politely as a teacher and a student.

  Qin Lang smiled and beckoned him to sit down. Shangguanyi and Laiji Brothers Laiheng were both Jinshi when Qin Lang was the chief examiner of Zhenguan's first imperial examination, and they tied for the top three with Laiji Brothers. Different from the imperial examination system that started in the later period of Zhenguan, the first class was changed to six people. The number one scholar was the second in the list, two were third, and three were third. At the beginning, there were only three people in the first class.

After Zhenguan, the imperial examination system has become very mature, and more and more imperial examination candidates have been selected. Even the imperial examination Jinshi has been paid more and more attention in the officialdom. Qin Lang's disciple.

They all respect Qin Lang as their teacher. When they first entered the official career, they certainly valued Qin Lang, the emperor's son-in-law and court celebrity. This teacher-student friendship was the most important help for them to enter the official career. Lang also attached great importance to those Jinshi students who were as old as him or even older than him, and naturally spared no effort to help these students.

  Qin Lang's disciples spread all over the government and the public. Up to now, many of Jinshi's disciples have now entered the middle and high-level positions.

   Tathagata Jigang was conferred as Minister of Zhongshu, Lai Heng was also conferred as Ren of Zhongshu, and Pei Xingjian was also appointed as Ren of Zhongshu.

  Shangguanyi has just been awarded the title of Secretary and Young Supervisor. From the fourth rank, he is one of the two deputy chiefs of the Secretary Province. His boss is Sun Chong, the eldest son of Changsun Wuji.

   "Today is a small tea party with a group of friends. We are about to leave Beijing. Let's chat and say goodbye. I don't know when we will see you again!"

  The Ma Zai brothers served tea and water there.

  At the beginning, Ma Zhou sent a special letter to Qin Lang before his death, hoping that Qin Lang could take care of his son. One of his two sons was Ma Zai, who was born to his wife, and Ma Xun, who was born to Du Shi. Of course, Qin Lang couldn't live up to his entrustment.

Now Ma Zai has just been arranged by him to be a member of the Zhongshu Province. In order to be an official of the sixth grade, Qin Lang arranged to be a member of the Zhongshu Province together with Ma Zai and his righteous brother, Ma Zhou. Adopted son and student Li Jingxuan. Li Jingxuan belonged to the southern ancestral branch of the Li family in Zhaojun. His father Shi Li Xiaoqing, governor of Gu, had a good relationship with Ma Zhou.

  Because Qin Lang's bamboo garden in Luoyang is next to Ma Zhou's house, Qin Lang and Li Jingxuan Ma Zai are relatively familiar, and they even worship under Qin Lang's sect, and often ask him for advice, and they are also regarded as disciples.

Because the two are well educated, and they both passed the imperial examinations to obtain Jinshi. Although it is customary to be selected as a candidate in the Ministry of Officials, and start as a county lieutenant in the local area, after all, there is a backer in the court, so their official careers are very smooth. This time, Qin Lang Arranging them to enter the Zhongshu Province as general staff, although it is only from the sixth rank, it is much better than the general sixth rank state to join the military.

  Because Ma Xun is still young, now he is studying in Chongxian Hall, so naturally he will not worry about his future in the future.

   "When I first came here, I passed by Cherry Island in Shanglinfang, and it was completely blocked."

  Qin Lang chuckled, "Just ignore it."

Although Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, and even Li Jingxuan and others had a bad reputation in history, among the people in Qin Lang's room today, there are quite a few people who have paid homage to the prime minister in history. Jiang and Ren Yaxiang also served as prime ministers.

   Both Pei Xingjian and Li Jingxuan are all-rounders with both civil and military skills.

Jia Runfu looked at the talented people in this room, and couldn't help but sigh Qin Lang secretly. Except for him, Cheng Yaojin, and Cui Dunli, there are a group of young people here, all of them are young. Occupy an important or high position.

   "The black otters wanted to come, but they were afraid of being abrupt." Lao Cheng was not used to tea, but he didn't drink alcohol today.

  Hei Otter is the nickname of Zuo Jinwu's great general Wu Guang. His name is Hei Kai, and his nickname is Hei Otter. He has a very close relationship with Qin Lang.

  Qin Qiong and Qin Lang have always been the leaders of the military upstart faction. Even now, Qin Lang has faded out of the military, but this prestige and connections cannot be replaced by anyone, not even Li Ji.

  But before Qin Lang left Beijing, he only invited Cheng Yaojin, and he didn't want to make too much noise.

  Besides, these old relationships with the military, even if they don't meet each other, the relationship will not fade away.

   Today's tea party, Qin Lang actually mainly gave them more opportunities to communicate, so that everyone can support each other in the court.

  Qin Lang has also been in the court for more than 20 years. It is not clear what is going on. Whenever he wants to do something, he must first establish a good relationship.

  Even in the Zhenguan Dynasty, known as the Zhongzhengying Dynasty, there are factions everywhere.

  Now the situation has changed drastically, and for the sake of their own interests, they have to stick together.

  Although Qin Lang is also opposed to the same party and dissidents, he doesn't like factional struggles, but in it, you can't stand if you don't.

  He is leaving, but the interests of the Qin family are still closely related to the imperial court. The future status and rights of the Qin family and even Lu Song will have to rely on the support of the court, which cannot be separated from these people in front of them.

  Qin Lang paved the way for them and supported them, not just for this day, after he left, they could also help him, ensuring that his interests would not be lost after he left.

   "Teacher, the angel in the palace has arrived!"

  Qin Lang frowned, the emperor actually sent an envoy? Although he also knew that it was impossible to hide this low-key tea party from anyone, but what is the meaning of the emperor sending an envoy?

   Show that everything is under his control?

   "The family knows that today is the birthday of the county king, so they specially send a congratulatory gift."

Today is indeed Qin Lang's birthday, thirty-seventh birthday, after today it will be thirty-eighth, but it's not the sixtieth birthday, nor the tenth, so under normal circumstances, Qin Lang doesn't know how to deal with it, usually at home The reunion is lively.

   This year he was leaving Beijing, so Qin Lang used his birthday as an excuse to invite Xu Jingzong, Cheng Yaojin and some old disciples to drink tea together. In fact, he was inviting everyone to sit down and get closer.

   Unexpectedly, the emperor sent someone to celebrate his birthday.

  The emperor bestowed many things.

   Pulled several cars.

   What else is there? There are twelve famous horses of various colors in the imperial stables, all of which are of pure blood, and all of them are worth more than a thousand horses.

   There are also gold and silver artifacts, splendid silk and satin, etc., and even Liaodong Haidongqing, Linyi five-color parrot, Fushi poodle and other things.

   There is actually a box of specially minted birthday coins, made of gold, silver, copper, and even jade. The coins are the same as ordinary Kaiyuan coins, but the words on them are the words of congratulating Qin Lang on his birthday.

   It can be said that he has a heart.

   It takes time to customize such a batch of money. It seems that Xinhuang has indeed prepared for it long ago.

  Such a batch of rewards amounted to more than 400,000 guan. Not long ago, the emperor came to Qin Lang's house and bestowed 100,000 guan of treasure. Today, he is even more generous.

  Although the treasury has been full since Zhenguan, even the emperor’s internal funds are also very rich, the emperor did not hesitate to reward the ministers, and even formed a tradition of treating ministers favorably, and the prime ministers were treated even better.

For example, Li Jing, as a veteran, is also an old mascot of the military. He was a prime minister in his eighties, so the imperial court sends envoys to celebrate Li Jing's birthday every year. On festivals, envoys will also come to offer condolences and rewards. The generous treatment makes people envious and jealous.

  However, for Qin Lang, money and things cannot impress him. To put it bluntly, in terms of money, his net worth is no less than the emperor's internal money.

  Even many luxury treasures bestowed by the emperor are still from the Qin family, such as high-end tea and sugar, such as silver mirrors and glass.

  In Qin Lang's mind, the emperor sent a congratulatory gift of 400,000 guan. Perhaps he wanted to tell Qin Lang that even if the emperor dismissed the Zhenfu Division, Dianqian Division, and Baiqi Division, he would still be able to control everything.

  Qin Lang smiled, this young emperor has a lot of energy, which is very interesting, but Qin Lang has no intention of fighting against this emperor.

Anyway, the emperor passed the list that he and Changsun Wuji drew up, which means that although the emperor does not act normally, the emperor is still very smart. Even if he drove Qin Lang away, he did not mess around. Every step is also carefully calculated.

Just like he also knew that Qin Lang had no intention of staying in the court for a long time, so he used Qin Lang to enhance his emperor's authority. Didn't the emperor take action against Changsun Wuji or Li Ji, because he also knew that these two were not at all There is no intention of retreating, if the emperor wants to drive them away, something will happen.

  Qin Lang was about to leave, and the emperor used Qin Lang to establish his prestige. Qin Lang knew it well, but was willing to cooperate. The teacher and the student still had a tacit understanding.

   It is precisely because he is aware of this, so what should be arranged should be arranged. Qin Lang did not shrink back. Even if Li Yin is an emperor with personality, it is impossible for him to be an enemy of the entire court.

  Qin Lang also had no intention of ostracizing the emperor, but what should be arranged still needs to be arranged.

  Give gifts to the envoys and write a thank you form to the emperor.

   Tea will continue.

  Qin Lang even invited the angel not to leave in a hurry, and stayed to drink tea and chat together, and did not send him and the guests away until the tea party was over.

   It was originally just a tea party, and there was no secret, just for everyone to be familiar with. Since the emperor is very curious, let his people participate, so that he can feel at ease.

the next day.

  Qin Lang didn't inform others, so he set off from Luo to Chang'an, and the coffin of the holy ancestor will also leave in the next few days.

No one saw him off, although Lao Cheng and others also knew that Qin Lang was leaving Luo today, but Qin Lang had already confessed not to see him off. After all, he was kicked out of the court by the emperor after all. He was too high-profile when he left, which would undoubtedly make the new emperor Displeased.

  The wives, concubines, and children stay in Luoyang for the time being. Princess Taiping Lizhi will go to Chang'an later, and the others will leave for the south after the year.

  Qin Langtian rode his horse out of Beijing slightly brighter, accompanied by servants and guards.

  Just after leaving Luoyang City, a group of people behind arrived, but it was the **** who announced the decree yesterday. Qin Lang already knew that this person was Guo Yuanzhen, who was newly appointed by the emperor as an envoy of the Imperial Academy, the emperor's confidant and middle official.

  He came with an order and sent a decree.

  The emperor added an official title to Qin Lang who left Beijing.

  Correction of the Shangshu Order.

   Taishi, Pingzhang Military and State Important Affairs, Shanling Etiquette Envoy, Shangzhu Kingdom, Lusong County King, Wei Guogong, Xie En accepted this decree, and then on the side of the road, he wrote a letter of refusal to the emperor.

   "It's hard work for the hospital."

  Qin Lang turned around and rode his horse towards Chang'an.
