Chapter 456 Do you have to force me to tell the truth?
Yunchu was awarded the title of Lord - the Marquis of Lantian for his first place in military merit!
This was almost the best reward the emperor could give Yun Chu, and it was completely beyond the expectations of everyone except Li Ji.
In the emperor's heart, Yunchu was the real number one hero among the generals in the Eastern Expedition.
Except for Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Qibi Heli, Gao Kan, and Pang Tongshan, the reward given to Yun Chu was the heaviest.
Five thousand taels of gold, one thousand bolts of silk, two thousand bolts of cloth, two thousand acres of farmland in Bashang, five hundred households in real estate, and a marquis mansion.
After learning about such a generous reward, Yu Xiurong almost ended up like Niu Gao.
The Yun family immediately ennobled the prince's uncle to his son, which can be regarded as a model for the people of the Tang Dynasty to immediately ennoble the prince.
Among the generals of this Eastern Expedition, Yunchu ranked first among the generals in the Eastern Campaign, with the Marquis of Lantian in Guan being the first.
In terms of military honors, Yun Chugong was granted the title of Zhuguo.
However, in terms of position, Yunchu's signature was still simple - Lantianhou, Shangzhuguo, Wannian County Magistrate Yun.
At first, Yunchu wanted to be reserved, saying that it was just like that if he became a prince after success. However, when he saw that he was so gentle that he had the title of a Qixian County man, his old consort father set up the running water mat at home for three days and three nights.
.
Since he was granted the title of Marquis in one fell swoop, he really deserved to have a good time, so the Yun family also opened a flowing water mat.
It's a pity that only two or three kittens came. Di Renjie's wife came with her big belly and her eldest son, Wen Wen brought the whole family, Lao Huang brought the whole family, and Lao He brought everyone from the Imperial Medical Office.
Colleagues came, including Liu Rengui's three sons, and then Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, and Pei Xingjian brought his wild woman Gongsun, who was very rude.
None of the veterans such as Li Ji, Su Dingfang, and Cheng Yaojin came, and they didn't even give gifts. Even Liang Jianfang, who had always been on good terms with Yun Chu, didn't come and didn't give any gifts.
The queen sent a female official to give Yu Xiurong a set of real head and face jewelry, and the prince sent someone to send ten carts of cabbage that he had grown himself.
Sun Shenxian gave the Yun family a complete set of "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions", and Master Xuanzang gave the Yun family a copy of the "Boya Parami Heart Sutra" that he personally copied.
Many people who had interacted with Yun Chu felt somewhat regretful after learning that the Queen, the Prince, the old immortal, and Master Xuanzang all sent congratulatory gifts to Yun.
It's a pity that since the passing of the flowing water mat, the door of the Yun family has been closed tightly, and guests are thanked behind closed doors.
"Master Marquis, please have some tea."
"Master Marquis, please have a meal."
"Master Hou, it's time to get up."
Yu Xiurong has been in a daze these days. Whenever he sees Yun Chu, he will always call him Lord Hou.
"You should say Lord Marquis, please Dun Lun!" Yun Chu, who was extremely annoyed, finally broke out.
Yu Xiurong smacked Yun Chu on the shoulder and said, "Just let me be proud for two days. I want to be content. Wait until night..."
"Is there any difference between being raped by a marquis and being raped by your husband?"
"Ah, you dead man..."
Even so, Yu Xiurong still hung his body on Yun Chu's shoulders and refused to leave easily.
With Yu Xiurong hanging on his body, Naha hidden in his arms, and two children holding one leg each, Yun Chu, the Marquis, was extremely proud of himself.
Ms. Cui now has a problem. No matter who she meets, the first thing she says is: "I already knew that my husband could be made a marquis."
As for Liu Yi, Yun Chu had already punished him, thinking that his problem of having his nostrils higher than his eyes had been cured. Who knew that after receiving the decree from the feudal lord, Liu Yi became even more arrogant than before.
Walking in Jinchangfang, others can only see Liu Yi's big nostrils covered with nose hair.
However, this time no one reacted to Liu Yi's overestimation. Everyone seemed to think that Liu Yi like this was the real powerful steward of the Hou Mansion.
The chief registrar of Wannian County was transferred to Hu County as the county magistrate last year. Zhong Kui was promoted to the chief registrar of Wannian County. Zhang Jia continued to serve as his county captain. Although some of the six ministers under his command were promoted to other places, they were promoted to other places.
It was still the old subordinates who came up.
Yunchu refused to go to work in Wannian County Government, and no one urged him to do so. No matter whether it was the superior officials or the people below him, they ignored him.
There were actually quite a few county magistrates among the marquises of the Tang Dynasty. For example, Changsun Wuji's third son, Changsun Yan, was the magistrate of Changshui County, and his title was Duke of Ancheng County.
Everyone thought that Changsun Wuji was behind Yun Chu's continued stay in Wannian County and was not promoted.
But no one knew that this matter itself was explained to the emperor by Yun Chu. He was not interested in promotion and wanted to stay in Chang'an and continue to be his county magistrate until Chang'an became what he hoped.
give up.
For this reason, Su Dingfang lost a team of Baekje beauties with excellent colors and skills to Li Ji.
Xue Rengui was not granted the title of marquis after all, but he still got his wish and became the general of Zuo Qianniuwei.
Pei Xingjian was not granted a title of marquis, but he was contented to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to work as a doctor in his examination department.
Cheng Mingzhen was granted the title of Marquis of Baishui. Although the location was a little remote, he was still a Marquis.
Even more surprising than Yunchu was Guo Daifeng. Because he fought to the death in Liaodong, the emperor restored the title of Duke of Yangdi to his family, but because he was succeeded by Guo Daifeng, he was demoted one level to Marquis of Yangdi.
According to Wen Wen, after receiving this decree, Guo Daifeng cried and knelt all the way to the palace gate to thank the emperor for his kindness.
After returning home, they held a banquet for three days and Guo Daifeng was also drunk for three days.
Everything is the result of the balance of the emperor's mind. Those who want a title should not get an official position, and those who want an official position should not get a title. It is fair.
After three days of silence, Chang'an City set off a frenzy of celebration because the emperor wanted to take the Liaodong kings captured by the Eastern Expedition army to sacrifice in the ancestral temple.
Yunchu thought they were going to chop off those people's heads and put them together with the pig's heads for sacrifice. Later, he heard that they were just dragging these people to the ancestral temple for the Li family ancestors to take a look, and he lost interest in participating.
In the past few days after returning, Yun Chu, who had not been close to a woman for almost two years, met Yu Xiurong, who had not been with a man for almost two years. As long as the two of them had some skills, they could not help but act wildly.
Therefore, whether it was Yun Chu or Yu Xiurong, after being scolded by the old god for excessive indulgence, the two of them still lived a shameless life without repentance.
The persimmons that Naha had been looking forward to for a long time could finally be eaten, but she didn't like eating them, so she gave all the persimmons at home to the monks who were practicing meditation.
Destroying the practice of these monks is what Naha feels most proud of. However, those hard-drinking monks are not good at Buddhism. Naha has made several monks break the rule of silence and need to shut up again.
Practice, and this time will be doubled.
Naha heard that eating too many persimmons is not good for defecation, and the fire crystal persimmons are too delicious, and those monks are greedy. She wanted to see if those monks would scream when they had difficulty defecating.
Once they shout out, they must stay in Qiyun Temple to continue practicing and continue to protect the old monk Xuanzang.
As for the monks' Samana armor, to be honest, she was not interested at all. If she wanted good armor, just go to the Palace Gate Bureau to find Lao Huang. Lao Huang, who had experienced the battlefield again, had a higher status in the palace.
, I heard that the official position of the director of the Palace Gate Bureau is still there, but his title has been changed to a count.
The current Lao Huang is no longer something that ordinary people can afford. Naha heard her brother say privately that the current Lao Huang is equivalent to Chang He during the Xuanwu Sect coup, and he can be said to be the emperor's confidant.
Therefore, it is not a big deal to get a few pieces of armor through him, and there is no need to get the monks.
Naha thinks she is very smart!
Yun Chu also felt that his sister had grown up and become smarter.
However, he still doubted whether a group of monks with poor bowel movements could really protect the old monk Xuanzang.
This question made Naha fall into confusion again.
The old monkey, whose leg was broken again by the old fairy, had been living in seclusion for a while and could hardly see anyone.
When Yunchu saw him, he could already walk with a cane.
The old guy's energy is very strong, and it seems that there will be no problem at all if he lives for another ten years.
Old Monkey did not talk to Yun Chu about the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in Fengyu Valley. No matter whether there was gold or not, even if there was only a pile of dog shit in that place, Buddhism must not give in.
As for the death of some monks, Old Monkey has never cared about it. When he cleared the Western Region for the Buddhas in these years, the number of monks killed in battle was not much less than five thousand. The battle of faith has always been cruel.
"Master Xuanzang doesn't pay much attention to the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but he is very concerned about the sudden disappearance of the people of Loulan twenty-eight years ago. He ordered me to investigate until the truth is revealed."
Yun Chu thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, it seems that the migration was triggered by the loss of water sources in Loulan after the river changed its course. You also know that the people of the Western Regions rely on oases for their lives. When the oases disappear, it is time for them to leave.
Already."
The old monkey said: "It's not like that. Those people were in a hurry when they left. Moreover, I have lived in the Western Regions for so long and I have never seen people migrating without even eating food. This is unreasonable."
Yun Chu looked at the old monkey and said, "What did Master Xuanzang say?"
The old monkey said: "Master Xuanzang said that Buddhism has three thousand worlds, and the people of Loulan went to other worlds."
Yun Chu's heart was beating loudly, but he still insisted: "That's a way of saying that no one has ever seen other worlds other than our world."
The old monkey shook his head and said: "Master Xuanzang has seen it. He also said that he saw a huge iron bird flying in the sky, a huge iron dragon running on the ground, and a spectacular city like a mirage...
And you know that Master Xuanzang never lies."
Yunchu lowered his head and said, "How are you going to search?"
The old monkey took out a map of the Western Region, and Yunchu suddenly discovered that the old monkey had drawn a huge triangle area on the map.
Just within this triangle area, almost all the living areas of Yunchu from his birth to his upbringing were included.
The old monkey said: "This triangle area was drawn by Master Xuanzang."
