In April, summer has entered Chang'an.
With a creak, the east side door of Luo Mansion opened.
Cheng Dabeard, who was drunk, walked out accompanied by the steward of the Luo Mansion, and two servants followed him out of the mansion pulling their horses.
Cheng Dabeard waved his hand and told the steward to go back. He got on the horse, swayed on it twice, and then sat firmly on it.
After slapping the horse's neck, the man cursed, "You beast, be more honest. Why do you want to throw your grandpa down?"
The steward who had just walked in stiffened up after hearing this, with a wry smile on his face. This General Cheng was a frequent visitor to the house, and he could only pretend that he couldn't hear anyone who was criticizing him or Huai Huai.
Who wants this guy to come to the door and be beaten by his master? Now in Luofu, the only ones who get this kind of treatment are the man outside the door and the prince-in-law.
If Lieutenant General Yu Lin visits General Yuchi, it probably won't be any better. Fortunately, General Yuchi is more knowledgeable than General Cheng and has never visited him personally.
…………
Cheng Zhijie cursed twice to vent his anger, and then urged his horse to leave.
Sitting on the horse, Cheng Dashu rubbed his belly. Today, Luo Shixin took the opportunity to kick him in a soft spot. The pain almost caused him to faint. It took him a long time to recover, and Luo Shixin burst into laughter.
Cheng Dabeard didn't dare to prick Luo Shixin in front of him, so he just opened his mouth after leaving the house. He felt extremely aggrieved.
The main reason why he came to have a drink with Luo Shixin this time was because the imperial reward had finally come, and it was indeed far different from what he had expected.
He knew what was going on. Last year, the guy named Ma Sanbao came looking for him. He had expected such a day, and Ma Sanbao never came to see him again after that.
I just sent a few people to make contact.
So Cheng Dabeard also knew the whole story. Someone was secretly making trouble in Chang'an, and it was difficult to trace it openly, so Ma Sanbao and others traced the other party's traces.
Everyone has been chasing this guy for two or three years. The scar on Ma Sanbao's face is because of this. He had already caught the opponent's tail, but on the night of the Yuan Dynasty, he was silenced in the street. Even Ma Sanbao also
Almost fully explained there.
This is not a good job. There are countless high-ranking families in Chang'an, and no one is easy to mess with. If this investigation continues, there will definitely be bloodshed. And if anyone knows that Cheng Dabeard is involved, someday he will come.
Up next...
It can be said that Cheng Dabeard misses his days in Luoyang very much. Although he was worried about his own safety at that time, at least he still had his brothers available.
There are not many people around Cheng Dabeard now. If he is surrounded by people, he will probably lose his life.
Moreover, Cheng Dabeard really had no experience in dealing with these sneaky and hidden guys. Every time he saw someone coming, he felt a little chill in his back.
But he was unable to resist. He was rubbed back and forth too much by that person, and now he could only helplessly greet the other person's ancestors in his heart.
When I came back from Tubo this time, I originally thought that I would be able to pass the test if I could say some nice words and become an official honestly in the future.
Unfortunately, things went against expectations. We had a good conversation when we entered the palace to meet him. The man talked a lot and didn't seem to treat him as an outsider, but then turned around and used him as a dead soldier. What the hell do you think?
Are you still called a person?
He had never been so shameless when Old Cheng Hu sent someone to die...
…………
Fortunately, he, Old Cheng, is smart and knows that he must live his life as he should. We, Old Cheng, are a manly man and cannot do those secret things.
If you come looking for me, I'll just listen. Anyway, it's not just Lao Cheng, so why bother? We are our officials and make friends with the people we should make friends with. What can you do to me?
This is the countermeasure that Lao Cheng has thought about for many days. Give him a hard time, and maybe people won't get the news they want from him, and over time they will forget about Lao Cheng.
The rewards were awarded a few days ago, and everyone who went on an envoy to Tibet had merit, especially Hou Junji who went on an envoy to Tibet with him. He was directly promoted to the general of Weifu, the Duke of Sanshui County, and was granted a city of 100 households.
When it was his turn, Cheng Dabeard, as the official official of the envoy to Tibet, was granted the title of Duke of Qi County and appointed as the head of the Ministry of War and Treasury.
Look what's going on here? Duke of Qi County, there aren't many people in the court who have a higher title than him, but who the hell is the head of the Ministry of War and Treasury?
From a sixth-grade petty official, he echoed the title of Duke of Qi County. It looked like a joke. After receiving the reward, Tuoba Shou came to visit him. When drinking with Cheng Big Beard, he leaned forward and back in joy.
"The First Clan"
He was said to be a monkey wearing a big hat. Although Lao Cheng had not read many books, he still knew the story of being crowned a monkey and became a crown prince. He was furious and almost didn't want to get involved with Tuoba Shou.
But he had a big heart, so after thinking about it for a moment, he couldn't help laughing, and took Tuoba Shou to drink again.
Tuoba Shou was confused by him and asked him why he was laughing.
Cheng Dabeard put his arms around his shoulders and said: "With this title, no matter what rank I am, you must salute me first when you see me. Why don't I smile?"
It's purely for self-comfort, but it makes sense.
Qijun is not like any other place. It was the hometown of Qi State and the most core county in Shandong. Whoever wins Qijun can control Shandong.
Moreover, there have been outstanding people and heroes since ancient times. At that time, the Shandong and Hebei Military Groups, not to mention Hebei, the Shandong people established a group of military tycoons with the Qijun Shilord as the core.
The Duke of Qi County is special here. His fiefdom is in Qi County. There are really not many other Dukes who can compare with him.
After this title was issued, both the Bohai Gao family, Langya Wang family, Zhuge family, Yan family, etc. all expressed their opposition.
Fang Xuanling, the Minister of Personnel, whose ancestral home is in Qijun, is definitely not happy to let a big bandit from Shandong occupy the title of Duke of Qijun, especially since he feels that the title should be his own due to his hard work.
.
It's just that the court didn't care about this. Although Cheng Dabeard became a bandit in the late Sui Dynasty, his ancestor was indeed a member of the Shandong military group.
Cheng Dabeard has a background and has made great achievements. Why is he granted the title of Duke of Qi County?
Anyway, with this title, Cheng Dabeard will have no worries about food and drink in the future. As for the minor official named later, it is just for those who are interested.
In fact, what satisfied Cheng Dabeard the most was that the imperial court finally assigned him a house with four entrances in the south of the city, leaning against a garden and a small river flowing in front of the door. If it were postponed later, the house price would definitely be fixed.
Got to go to heaven.
After getting the house deed, Cheng Zhijie asked his family to move. The emperor didn't want the few treasures he got back from Tubo, so he gave them all to Tuoba Shou and asked him to find a business to do it.
Officials of the imperial court are definitely not allowed to engage in business, but there are many loopholes. How can you get a salary just for seeing the officials?
And if you look at Samurai Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, he does a lot of business, isn't he still in the position of Minister of Household Affairs?
As long as you don't harm the public and enrich your private life like those two losers Gao Shen and Dugu Xiude, even if the court knows about some things, it will turn a blind eye.
The main reason is that if you want to participate in business affairs as an official, then you have to say something. This is what the censor does. For this reason, officials have been dismissed from their posts in all dynasties, and some are still prime ministers.
Officials who amass money have the most unpleasant reputation and are also the easiest to lose their official positions.
This will be different from what happened later. The nobles still have shame. Once the reputation of being greedy for money spreads, the first person to find your head will not be the court, but the family...
Of course, this is just a kind of atmosphere. When the atmosphere changes, the things that officials care about will also change, and the world will naturally change as well.
…………
After receiving the reward and the joy of moving to a new house, in any case, the relationship between him and Luo Shixin had eased since the last time he visited the palace. At least the fists falling on him, Cheng Dabeard, were much lighter than before.
Luo Shixin also sent several people to help when we moved.
Mrs. Sun muttered to her husband at night, saying that the eldest son of the Luo family was turning 12 or 3 this year, and he was also old enough to get engaged, so he might as well ask...
Cheng Dabeard listened and thought about it for a while, and became quite excited.
When the Luo Shixin family's children were all born right, Dalang and Erlang both entered the palace to accompany the prince. They studied and practiced martial arts together since they were young, and their future prospects were limitless.
Moreover, he had met Luo Dalang several times. He was very stable. He was not as fierce as his father, but he also had a good figure. His mother was the daughter of the Wang family in Jinyang, so he seemed to be blessed after he was born.
It would be a good thing if the daughter could get married, but the Cheng family's aunt is a few years older than others, so it's a bit difficult to talk to her.
So today I went to the gate of Luo Mansion. I wanted to inquire with Luo Shixin and see if Luo Shixin knew what the emperor meant. Isn't it interesting to play tricks on him several times?
Secondly, I wanted to talk about the marriage and test out Lao Luo's tone.
But in the end, nothing was accomplished. Luo Shixin had no idea what the emperor's arrangements were for him, and he probably didn't care about it, as long as Cheng Dabeard was still alive.
The second thing happened, Cheng Dabeard didn't dare to open his mouth at all, fearing that Luo Shixin would stab him in a hurry. After drinking, he thought that he was timid and it would be better to ask his mother-in-law to come here and talk about this matter.
Some.
…………
Back at home in the backyard, Cheng Dashu washed his face, while Mrs. Sun and her daughter prepared some soup for him to sober up.
Cheng Dabeard was sitting on the couch, drinking hot mutton soup. He felt very comfortable. He looked around and felt better. He felt that a big house was better. It was spacious to live in and pleasing to the eye.
That's right, it's still much smaller than his house in Luoyang, and there are fewer servants. Once he gets over this hurdle, he still has to work hard, not to mention finding a wife and a wife, but he has to have a gorgeous house and a beautiful house, right?
Moreover, it was time to take a concubine. When King Wu returned to Beijing some time ago, Cui Xin from Qi County came to Chang'an with him. Hearing that he had made Qi County Duke, he came to pay a visit.
When he mentioned that his eldest daughter was a widow at home, she sighed, and you knew what it meant as soon as you heard it...
