The music in my mind dissipates and the dance moves disappear.
The emperor looked at Luo Cai indifferently, "Why is it inappropriate?"
Luo Cai knew that he could not say that Chenzhou was the place where the Four Battles were fought. Officials like Wei Yao would not be able to suppress the position, otherwise they would slap the emperor in the face.
"Your Majesty, when Wei Yao first led the troops in Southern Xinjiang, he was quite arrogant towards his subordinates. Northern Xinjiang is a place of hundreds of battles, and the people recruited over the years are all warriors. The people of Northern Xinjiang are fierce, and if the superior officials do not know how to be considerate, it will not be possible.
It will cause big trouble. Your Majesty, I will die!"
Luo Cai slowly stood up and stood with his hands tied.
He knew that he had embarrassed the emperor.
If he were in another place, he would never say a word and let the emperor arrange his personnel.
But that's Northern Xinjiang, and opposite is the fierce Northern Liao...
Can't neglect it!
The emperor looked at him and said, "I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently? If you fall ill, people will definitely say that I don't know how to show sympathy to my old minister."
Luo Cai looked pale and bowed, "I obey."
Luo Cai walked out of the hall.
He looked at the bright spring light and felt a little dizzy, his whole body felt light and his chest felt a little nauseous.
That feeling of wanting to vomit but not being able to spit it out.
"Luo Shangshu."
The people in the palace were the most clever. They could tell at a glance that Luo Cai had fallen out of favor, so even the chamberlain who led the way dared to urge Luo Cai.
"I know."
Luo Cai shook his head, "A little dizzy."
Yang Xuan said that Chenzhou is the most unique place in Northern Xinjiang. The opposite side is not Beiliao, but the three vicious dogs kept in captivity in Beiliao. He Lianchun in Tanzhou can drive the three major troops to constantly harass or attack Chenzhou.
This is a try.
If there is a problem in Chenzhou, Tanzhou's Northern Liao army will be dispatched in full force, and Chenzhou will break through the defense line that Northern Xinjiang has worked hard to maintain for many years.
The terrible thing is that the three major ministries can launch this kind of probing attack at any time, and if Chenzhou makes a big mistake, he will be doomed.
Chenzhou was penetrated, and the Bei Liao army launched an offensive from the front in Taoxian. At the same time, after Chenzhou broke through the Bei Liao army, it made a detour to the right, and the main force of Bei Xinjiang was in danger of being flanked from both sides.
At that time, what's the use of Chang'an's anger?
Politicians should know how to prepare for a rainy day.
Just like a wise doctor, he always treats the disease before it becomes ill, rather than waiting until the disease occurs before rescuing it.
Your Majesty!
Luo Cai smiled bitterly.
The emperor has been playing power games all his life. In his eyes, checks and balances are probably more important than the country... If he loses power, he would rather abandon the country.
Why did the Tang Dynasty have such an emperor...
…
"Luo Cai was ill."
The old thief found out the news.
Yang Xuan is catching a big fish.
Wang Laoer was playing with the fish bladder.
Yang Xuan was scraping the scales of the big fish and asked, "Why?"
He was about to meet Luo Cai, who was in very good health!
"I said I was going to the palace, and then I came home."
Yang Xuan was a little puzzled, "Is it possible that His Majesty was driven away after admonishing him?"
The emperor spent the whole day hanging out with his concubine in the opera garden. According to folklore, the emperor felt that being an emperor was not as comfortable as being a man.
But you can feel comfortable all day long and you are not afraid of waist mutation?
Luo Cai remonstrated, and then the emperor became angry and told him to go home and eat himself.
Poor Lao Luo!
Yang Xuan sighed, Wang Laoer threw the fish bladder away, and Yang Xuan cursed: "This is a good thing."
Wang Laoer was puzzled, "When I was at home, I would always burst the fish bladders under my feet."
As he was about to stretch his legs, Yang Xuan shouted: "Get out!"
The old thief squatted beside him and asked: "Lang Jun, can this thing be eaten?"
"It's good for women. Cut it in half, give half to Yi Niang, and half to Madam."
What a good stuff for nourishing yin!
What is it called in the scroll...Isinglass.
Yang Xuan made a fish pot, and the whole family was full of praise for it.
But then the bad news came.
"The DPRK decided to appoint Wei Yao as the governor of Chenzhou."
Damn it!
Where is my governor?
besides.
Who is Wei Yao?
…
Luo just returned home.
The children and grandchildren were surprised, and Luo Cai said: "I will become an official in a while."
The old man's expression was calm, but his children and grandchildren could see the anger and unwillingness beneath the twilight and calmness.
No one dares to beep.
At dinner, his son handed him a bottle of wine, and Luo drank it.
On the second day, Luo Cai got up and had breakfast as usual. Then he put on his official uniform and said casually: "I'm going to the court."
The family hid in their room and stopped listening to the footsteps outside, followed by Luo Cai's sigh.
In the afternoon, Yan Lan, the husband invited by the family, came to ask for his resignation.
"But the children in the family are disobedient? Sir, just tell me, I will personally take action." The education of children and grandchildren has always been Luo Cai's focus. For this purpose, he specially invited Yan Lan, who had passed the imperial examination, but was sidelined in his official career due to illness.
Later, great talents came to teach them.
Yan Lan has been with the Luo family for two years, and her talent has been unanimously recognized.
Luo Cai remembered that at the end of last year, Yan Lan said that he would work in the Luo family for another year, but what happened today?
Yan Lan held up her hand and said, "Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo has little talent and little knowledge. He plans to go home and study hard. If we are destined, we will meet again in the future."
This is a scene!
Luo Cai frowned, "But there is something wrong at home? Sir, just tell me, I will take care of it!"
Yan Lan sighed, "Yesterday I had a friend treat me, and there were officials at the table."
Luo then understood and said, "Come here, prepare some gifts for Mr. Yan."
"No need!"
"It's been a hard work these two years."
Luo Cai returned to the study.
The eldest son came, "Aye, why did Mr. Yan resign?"
Luo Cai put down the book in his hand and said, "My father has hated Your Majesty, and he knows it."
The eldest son said: "What does this matter have to do with him?"
Luo Cai sighed: "He wanted to get back together. Originally, I promised him that after a year, I would naturally make some plans for him. Now that the emperor has abandoned me and is moving to higher places, he will naturally want to find someone who can help him.
Boss."
The eldest son leaned forward and said, "In this case, I will go and ask for a gentleman."
Luo Cai smiled and said: "Why is that? I happen to have nothing to do at home, so let them come and let me teach them."
…
People were sent to northern Xinjiang, but they were middle- and lower-level officials, not high-ranking officials like the governor.
Therefore, the position of governor is a carrot and a trap. Nowadays, the governor of Northern Xinjiang is not in need of people. Yang Xuan wants to go back. Unless Huang Chunhui can create a new position and recruit him decisively, he can only change his position as an official.
My father-in-law was obviously very happy and said that staying in Chang'an as an official was not a bad thing.
Yang Xuan went to the front yard.
The original small family got together.
"Old thief, have you found any information about Wei Yao?"
"We found out. Wei Yao is from a noble family, and his grandfather and father are both the emperor's confidants."
"Sure enough." Yi Niang sneered: "Even after becoming an emperor, you still can't forget about the foxes and dogs, you bitch!"
Bitch +1.
"Wei Yao's official career went smoothly after he became an official, and he was quite arrogant. He became an official in Chang'an and immediately went to southern Xinjiang."
Yang Xuan touched his chin and said, "This is gold plating."
"Yes. Wei Yao went to southern Xinjiang as the county magistrate. He once led an army to attack the rebel tribes and lost 30% of his soldiers. However, he was known as a great victory and gained a reputation as a good soldier. He called himself a famous general of the Tang Dynasty."
Northern Xinjiang is too dangerous, so those rich and powerful children who are interested in gold plating love to go to southern Xinjiang.
Huddle around in southern Xinjiang for a year or two, destroy a few small tribes, and brag about it at home.
Yo ho!
A famous general was just released.
Then he returned to Chang'an, and his reputation as a civilized and military man was rampant.
This is the promotion path for the children of powerful people. Ordinary people do not have such resources. If they are forced to follow suit, they will probably live in southern Xinjiang for the rest of their lives.
As for merit... When the merit comes out, the Shangguan will take most of it first, and others will grab the rest. When you accumulate enough merit, you will find that without a backing, you can't even find a good place for promotion.
OK, you want to be promoted.
But there are people in good places. How about...you go to Xijiang?
How about going to that place where there is no shit and becoming a governor?
It's almost a lifetime to go to that place.
You want to make a contribution, but I'm sorry, there is no such opportunity.
You want political achievements, but sorry, we are poor here and the people are cunning.
Therefore, you can only squat in Western Xinjiang and regret that you followed the rich and powerful children to play gold plating.
Therefore, not everyone can play gold plating, and no one can help you if you lose it.
Smart people will take the initiative to seek a backer under such circumstances, but why should a backer help you?
What are the benefits?
If you are talented, that's it. Your backers think it's good to train a talented person to be their party member. But talent is not cabbage.
"It's very difficult to get rid of an official from the emperor's close family." The old thief smiled bitterly, "Mr. Lang, how about...stay in Chang'an for a few years!"
"Time waits for no one!" Yang Xuan said: "If you want to succeed, Northern Xinjiang is a necessary foundation. But now I only have Taiping County in my hands, and Chenzhou will have a firm foothold, which is not even a foundation. If I stay away from Northern Xinjiang now, Taiping will
It's good to have Cao Ying here, but if I don't return to Chenzhou, all my early efforts will be in vain."
Yi Niang sighed, "Lao Gou's confidant went to Chenzhou, and I estimate that it will not last more than two years."
The old thief shook his head, "Yiniang, even I know that once the emperor and his ministers go to Chenzhou, Wei Yao will definitely reorganize his team. After he leaves, Lang Jun will go, and he probably won't know any of them."
Already."
"That……"
Yi Niang's eyes became more stern, "Lang Jun."
"What's the matter?" Yang Xuan was thinking of a solution.
"It seems that Tu Shang has never submitted a certificate of surrender."
Well!
Yang Xuan asked: "Who can let him submit his name certificate?"
Yi Niang: "..."
The old thief whispered: "Yiniang, that is someone you can't mess with. If you are angry, even a spear and our joint efforts will be useless."
"Amazing!" Yi Niang said dissatisfied: "No matter how powerful he is, he still has to eat."
You don’t want me to ask Aning for some poison and feed it to Tu Shang directly in the food, right?
Yang Xuan felt that something was wrong with the family tradition and needed to be corrected.
"Yiniang, we are all one family!"
"But what should we do about this matter?" Yi Niang was worried.
"Wei Yao is the emperor's confidant. Huang Chunhui has been asking for reinforcements for many years but there has been no news. Wei Yao is preparing to go to northern Xinjiang. Needless to say, he transferred 500 cavalry from Zuowuwei to him. It is said that it is Wei Yao's Aye who is looking for him.
The relationship is really great!" The old thief felt that this matter was useless.
"How is this person?" Yang Xuan asked.
The old thief sighed: "Wei Yao's command was quite harsh. When he was in southern Xinjiang, he beat many people when he led the army for the first time."
"This is a show of force, hey!" Yang Xuan was startled, "This is a show of force... it's great!"
"What's great?"
Yang Xuan stood up and said, "I'll go out and tell Aning that I won't have lunch at home."
…
After returning from Western Xinjiang, Luo Bing became Zuo Wuwei's favorite, always telling the story of defeating Luo Luo Imperial Guard a dozen times every day.
"Captain Luo, someone wants to see you."
Luo Bing, who was bragging, said to his colleagues: "Wait a minute."
When they arrived outside, it was one of Yang Xuan's guards.
"Mr. Lang asked Colonel Luo if he wanted to eat Yuanzhou Ramen."
…
Wonju Ramen has Yang Xuan’s room.
Luo Bing came in quietly.
Yang Xuan is in the room.
"Have you been promoted?"
"It will take a while." Luo Bing sat down, "I have to thank Yang Zhongyun."
Immediately someone served food and wine.
One bowl of ramen per person.
After eating in a hurry, Luo Bing raised his glass to drink, put down his glass and said, "But something happens? Just say it!"
This person still has some loyalty... Yang Xuan said: "I heard that Zuo Wuwei's five hundred riders will follow him to Chenzhou?"
"Yes." Luo Bing said: "At first, they wanted me to lead the team, but I refused."
As the current leader of Zuo Wuwei, Luo Bing would naturally not make wedding dresses for others.
"Who's going?"
"Colonel Zhang Kun."
Yang Xuan then stopped talking about it.
The two drank a few glasses of wine and broke up because Luo Bing had to go back.
When going out, Yang Xuan said casually: "I heard that that one likes to beat his subordinates, I think it will be very lively."
Luo Bing smiled and said, "Really? Then I have to talk to Zhang Kun and ask him to be careful. But Zhang Kun has a bad temper, so I'm afraid he won't be able to persuade him."
Damn it!
It would be a pity for this man not to become a civil servant.
…
Zhou Zun returned home.
Zhou Qin was drinking, but it was very indifferent, the kind you would drink for children and women during festivals.
"It's boring to drink!" Zhou Qin was very dissatisfied.
"Aye, I found someone today. It won't be a big problem for Zitai to stay in Liubu."
"It's good to be a doctor, at least you can familiarize yourself with the six books."
"Zitai wants to go to Northern Xinjiang, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't."
"Yeah! Where's the wine?"
"Aye, didn't you drink yesterday?"
"I forgot."
"You can drink it the day after tomorrow."
"By the way, Aning asked me to drink a cup of medicinal wine every day and go get it."
In order to show his old father that he was only controlling him out of concern for his health, Zhou Zun went to get the drink himself.
Zhou Zungang opened the stopper of the wine jar and was about to put the wine grapes in.
A triangular snake head suddenly sprang up.
"ah!"
The Minister of the Tang Dynasty, the calm and steady head of the Zhou family, actually screamed.
A certain guy who was disrespectful to his elders laughed very hatefully, "Back then, he was scared by me when he was a child, but he was embarrassed when he got older. Today, he got what he wanted, hahahaha!"
…
Wei Yao is getting ready to leave.
This expert has secured five hundred cavalry for him to rely on, and he wants to go take a look.
Zuo Wuwei's school grounds.
"I've seen the envoy!"
Five hundred soldiers shouted, but the salute seemed a bit messy.
Wei Yao said dissatisfied: "Who is responsible for the training?"
Zhang Kun stepped forward, his face covered with beard, and he looked quite ferocious.
"Weak training!" Wei Yao had to hit Zhang Kun first to prevent these arrogant generals from disobeying the command.
He also encountered such generals when he was in southern Xinjiang. He immediately took out the generals and beat them severely, and everyone became behaving.
This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
The look he looked at Zhang Kun was a little subtle, but after thinking about it, he thought it would be better to have someone else do the beating.
But Zhang Kun refused to accept it and said, "All of my subordinates are elite Zuowuwei!"
Um!
Wei Yao, who wanted to find someone else to scare the monkeys, sneered: "I scolded you, but you retorted with a few words, you are so domineering!"
Damn it!
Zhang Kun was stunned, "Brothers in the army regard honor as their life. If you open your mouth, it is because you have not practiced well and your subordinates will not accept it!"
This is a blatant contradiction!
Wei Yao's face turned livid, "Here comes someone!"
None of the soldiers below moved.
These soldiers were not willing to go to Northern Xinjiang and were full of anger. Seeing that Wei Yao wanted to use Zhang Kun to do something for them, they immediately became angry.
