His Majesty said it was to hit thirty big boards. The guards in front of the palace did escort Cheng Yaojin to hit thirty big boards. As for how to hit this board, it is another matter.
A general can be ignorant, but a bodyguard cannot be ignorant.
If he really goes on to fight and offends someone, there is no telling how Cheng Yaojin, the devil in the world, will fight back.
Zhang Yang followed, "The general has been fined another ten years of salary. Now he has no complaints. He is an example for lower officials."
Cheng Yaojin stopped, as if he couldn't bear the nagging, and frowned: "It's a pity that you are talented."
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was about to walk into the house, Zhang Yang asked again: "General, you haven't said yet, how come the general is also involved in our Lishan cotton trade."
"I exchanged 30% of the braised pork business with Li Xiaogong. I see Lishan Fuyu couldn't stand it."
After hearing this reply, Zhang Yang watched Cheng Yaojin walk into his mansion. The door of the old Cheng's house was very spacious, and it was wider than other houses on Zhuque Street.
He would take action at the slightest disagreement, and he was merciless to civil servants. He just had the word "tough" carved on his forehead.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Chumo happened to walk out of the house.
"Something happened in the court, I will send the general home."
Cheng Chumo looked at the door of his house in surprise and said, "We are going to go hunting. Do you want to come with us?"
Zhang Yang put his hands in his hands and said, "I have something to arrange at noon, so I won't go."
"Unfortunately, I heard that the cow in my farm broke its leg again."
"I have something big to do, and I really can't go."
Cheng Chumo sighed in disappointment, "Forget it, I'll ask someone to bring you beef later. The sauced beef before was very delicious, but it wasn't enough."
"I'll do more this time."
"Very good."
Outside Chang'an City, Niu Chuang had just left with the people in his village. After finishing his work last night, he hid until dawn before coming out.
"Brother Niu, we have sprayed so many houses, could we spray the wrong one?"
Niu Chuang scratched the back of his head, "Are you literate? Do you know who those people are?"
Several people still shook their heads.
Niu Chuang still held a picture of Chang'an City in his hand, "The county prince often said that you should use wisdom when doing things. Before coming, I asked people to find out where these civil servants lived. Rather than being afraid of making mistakes, it is better to tell them all."
"Brother Niu is still smart."
A group of villagers followed, looking back guiltily from time to time to make sure no officers or soldiers were following.
Niu Chuang said again: "Besides, it was so dark last night, did you see the words on the door plaque clearly?"
"Don't tell me that we don't even know the words after seeing it clearly, Brother Niu was still smart enough to prepare the map early."
Niu Chuang nodded seriously, "The county magistrate often tells us to read more books. We usually have to follow the children and read more books."
"That's what Brother Niu said."
Recently, Niu Chuang has been following Shangguan Yi to learn how to do things. He has never read a book before, and as a village official, he has no experience in dealing with the government, let alone some regulatory matters, and he doesn't know anything about it.
After having Shangguan Yi, Niu Chuang felt that his burden was reduced. In terms of status, Shangguan Yi came to the village and quickly gained the trust of the villagers.
Niu Chuang also gradually realized that his appeal in the village was not as good as before.
Seeing that Shangguan Yizheng and Samurai Yun were discussing the expansion of the factory, he hurriedly walked up to listen and learn more about how others did things.
Today is an important day for the prince, and it is also a day to take an important step.
In the waterside pavilion in the center of Qujiang Pool, a bowl of meat and bone porridge was cooking on the stove. Li Yue had a good appetite and ate two bowls in a row.
Zhang Yang said: "The taste is a little dull. You have been a little angry recently. Try to control your food."
Li Yue wiped the porridge from the corner of her mouth and took Xiao Wu to the side to do the questions.
Aunt Yang led an old man into Qujiang Pond and led him until he was close.
Zhang Yang asked: "The prince and Su Dan's family will come over later. Please ask aunt to go and look after you outside the door."
Aunt Yang nodded and walked outside Qujiang Pond.
When Ouyang Xun came over with a cane, Zhang Yang filled a bowl of porridge and said, "The weather is gloomy and muggy today. It looks like it's going to rain again."
Ouyang Xun was already very old. He walked to the waterside pavilion and smelled it carefully, "The porridge smells so fragrant."
"Do you always try it?"
Ouyang Xun put down the crutch in his hand and sat aside. He took a small bite first and said, "I really didn't have any food when I came here. I'm old and have bad teeth. It's good to eat this kind of porridge."
Zhang Yang handed over a wooden spoon, "My wife at home is pregnant. She suffered from severe morning sickness before and now the taste of the food is relatively strong, which has caused her to suffer from internal heat. Now she cannot drink medicine randomly, so I cooked bland millet porridge.
"
A gust of cool wind blew by, Ouyang Xun peeled off the beard around his mouth, and drank the porridge in the bowl one mouthful after another. "After drinking your porridge, I feel warm in my internal organs. I haven't eaten so happily in a long time."
Already."
"I'm sorry, the student invited the old gentleman in such a way. It's not easy to come and check on the old gentleman's health. This is a bad idea."
"I heard that many people in the DPRK are impeaching you today."
"I am young and energetic, and it is inevitable that I will make some mistakes in my conduct. In fact, I can still accept the opinions of many civil servants in the court, and I can change them when I have time."
"Change?" Ouyang Xun said with a smile: "You don't seem like someone who can change."
"Really?" Zhang Yang nodded and took a sip of tea.
"You didn't give in when faced with the accusations from thousands of people. I thought you were a person who would never change your goals once you set them. You won't change."
Ouyang Xun sighed as he spoke. He looked at the vast lake surface of Qujiang Pool, "I haven't been here for a long time. I heard that Your Majesty has sealed this place. How did you get in?"
"To be honest, sir, your Majesty and I have actually reached a condition, and now Qujiang Pool is my backyard."
"That's it." Ouyang Xun nodded while stroking his beard.
This old man is not surprised at all?
At this age, even if the emperor abdicates, it would not be a big deal to him.
"What plans does the old gentleman have in the future?"
"Retire into seclusion in the mountains and forests, and slowly die of old age."
Zhang Yang shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand, "The old gentleman said it so calmly."
"Everyone is mortal, and my coffin is ready and can be buried at any time."
Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "These are unlucky words."
Ouyang Xun said with a smile: "Now that I have drunk such delicious porridge, I can die without regrets."
"It's too disgraceful to always say that you live and die like my teacher."
"Zhang Gongjin is still alive?"
Ouyang Xun's tone finally showed surprise, and Zhang Yang nodded helplessly, "Alive, alive and well. A good place for retirement like our Lishan Mountain is the most suitable for a long-lived person like you."
"I remember that when I came back from the northern expedition to the Turks, some people said that Zhang Gongjin would not live for more than two years. At that time, I still lamented that he was going to die young in his prime. With Du Ruhui in front of him, I didn't want to lose another adviser."
Zhang Yang washed the bamboo cup with pool water and poured a glass of boiled water for Ouyang Xun, "Actually, Lishan has many health-preserving methods. Prolonging life is also a big project that our Lishan Medical Center team is studying. The Emperor and the others are all in Lishan.
You can also go for a walk."
"There's no need to stay here. I want to go to Lishan Mountain to see Zhang Gongjin."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
Ouyang Xun nodded, and took out a roll of paper from his arms, "I will give you the copybook that I have studied recently. I have devoted my life to calligraphy, and there are not many things that I can leave to future generations. Every piece counts."
"
"Thank you, old sir."
Seeing that the prince had arrived, Ouyang Xun stood up and said, "I will take my leave now. Next time we meet, I will bring Chu Suiliang with me. His calligraphy skills are not bad either."
"Old sir, go slowly. When I finish arranging things, I'll ask you to go for a walk in Lishan Mountain. The mountains are nice, the water is good, the people are nice, and I guarantee that the old gentleman will be satisfied."
"Um."
Ouyang Xun nodded and walked away step by step with a cane.
When Li Chengqian saw Ouyang Xun, he quickly saluted.
The old people of the Tang Dynasty left one after another, which was a loss to the Tang Dynasty. This loss was irreparable. Looking at the back of the first person in regular script in ancient times, Zhang Yang bowed.
】
The older the old man gets, the more eccentric his personality becomes, making him difficult to fathom. The old man lives a free and easy life, which is worthy of admiration.
After waiting for Ouyang Xun to walk out of Qujiang Pond, Li Chengqian quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mr., are you here to see you?"
Zhang Yang folded his hands and said: "I came to Qujiang Pool to relax and happened to bump into the old gentleman. We had a unpleasant conversation, so he left."
"Didn't we have a pleasant conversation? Just look at the old gentleman's face. Isn't it nice?"
"Yeah?"
Li Chengqian came to his senses again, "Let's not talk about the old gentleman. Let's talk about the Su Dan family first. How to do what you said."
Zhang Yang sat down again and said, "In your father's eyes, the prince is asking Su Yu about political affairs and his daughter cannot be involved. It is easy for your majesty to dispel his doubts. All he needs to do is have a quarrel with Su Yu or argue over political differences.
, and this matter must be known to His Majesty."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled in relief and said, "You've been taught by me, you are still the most insidious among the young talents in Chang'an City."
"Just take it as your highness to praise me."
Seeing Zhang Yang's shameless and somewhat proud look, Li Chengqian wanted to say something else, so he had no choice but to smile.
A bowl of porridge was served to the prince, and Su Dan came with his daughter.
Zhang Yang waved to them from a distance and said to Li Chengqian: "The next thing depends on the prince. Su Dan and I still have something to say."
Li Chengqian rarely blushed. He looked at the approaching father and daughter and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Zhang Yang sat in the water pavilion and watched from a distance, "Youdao is a happy marriage. It is a good thing that Su Shaojian's daughter can marry His Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Tan was also wearing a black official uniform. The official uniform looked very old and faded. It seems that the Su family was not wealthy.
It is actually good to arrange a wealthy in-laws for the prince. The emperor does not want the prince to be controlled by the woman's family background.
I chose the most inconspicuous Su Dan.
Su Dan looks like he is in his forties, not tall, and he looks lackluster.
"I heard the origin of the matter from my daughter. Zhang Shangshu thought that since the Queen and His Majesty intended to marry my daughter to the prince, there was no need to add so many twists and turns."
Zhang Yang had a sad look on his face, "Young Master Su, the prince and I are not only the prince and ministers, but also friends. As friends, I will definitely help you."
Su Dan bowed his hands and bowed to Taiji Hall, "Since it is your Majesty who makes the decision, what is the use of my ministers' opinions?"
Zhang Yang looked into the distance. The prince and Mrs. Su were talking. There was still half a meter between them, both of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other.
Ah, this damn youthfulness.
It is said that it is not easy for the prince to fall in love, and this is the first time for the prince to feel this way.
Zhang Yang withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Dan again, "Young Master Su thinks that this matter is entirely up to His Majesty's plan. Do you still have hesitations about tying the knot? Or is it that you have never thought about your daughter's future?"
"Marriage is the order of the parents, and so is the prince, and so is the little girl in the family."
Although he was obviously older than Zhang Yang, he showed no less pressure than others in the court.
Su Dan lowered his head and did not dare to look up at Zhang Yang, but he was just a secretary and supervisor who compiled classics for the emperor, so where did he get his authority?
Zhang Yang obtained such a holy scroll at a young age and ranked among the six ministers. This was an achievement that he could never achieve in his lifetime.
From the time when this man became successful, Zhang Yang was only nineteen years old. Now he is over twenty-three years old. His career as an official in the court has been bumpy. He was stripped of his official status and was re-appointed by His Majesty. He was even able to open a foreign affairs academy.
So far, he has made many meritorious deeds and was even granted the title of County Marquis.
Su Dan whispered: "I think the prince wants to marry the prince or it is His Majesty's arrangement regarding the marriage. I have no control over it."
"Su Shaojian, in your eyes, perhaps etiquette will always come first. Since the prince and Su Shaojian's daughter are in love, I think we should try our best to promote this matter so that none of us have any regrets."
Su Dan nodded, "If the prince has feelings for the little girl, and they can get married, the lower official will naturally be happy."
After receiving the affirmation from the prince's future father-in-law, the stone in Zhang Yang's heart finally fell.
Zhang Yang poured him a cup of tea, "Well, we are on the same boat. I will make it clear. As a father, you hope that your daughter can have a good home. Instead of marrying a stranger, why don't we just stay here?"
Just push the boat along."
Su Tan stood up and saluted, "My daughter is indeed interested in the prince. If we can get married, I will definitely keep this great favor in mind. In the future, whenever I can be useful to my subordinate, Zhang Shangshu will arrange it."
"It's not easy for you for your daughter." Zhang Yang supported him, "After all, you are an elder. Don't be so respectful to me. I am not used to it."
Su Dan added: "Xiaguan has always had no opinion and cannot make decisions when encountering problems. Please ask Zhang Shangshu to make arrangements."
Zhang Yang nodded, "Please listen carefully to what I am going to say next."
"I will definitely remember this, my subordinate."
A plan came out of Zhang Yang's mouth. During this period, Li Chengqian and Su became closer, and soon they were able to walk side by side.
The prince was willing to take risks for the sake of love, and Su Dan was able to put aside his elder status for the sake of his daughter.
No matter what, this marriage is going to happen.
It was not until evening, after he and Su Dan had arranged the next steps, that he took his daughter and left.
