Tang's dining table

In any era, the rate of decline of an abandoned class is astonishing.

The Liaodong battle in which Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Qi Bi Heli, and Gao Kan participated was almost the last highlight moment of Zhenguan veterans.

After the war, these people all received the highest honor and the most generous rewards, but this was also the final summary of their military careers.

The emperor hopes that they can adapt to the new era. If they cannot adapt, then they will gradually die out in the next few decades and eventually disappear from the public.

After Yunchu left the Yinggong Mansion, he went to the Yanmen County Mansion to visit Liang Jianfang.

Although he knew that Liang Jianfang was at the Duke Ying's Mansion, he still insisted on going to the Yanmen County Mansion to visit Liang Jianfang's wife, Mrs. Zhou.

Liang Jianfang was a tough guy who could stand up for his brothers, so he looked extremely stupid in the officialdom.

Liang Jianfang also had two sons, who were exactly the same as Liang Jianfang. The eldest was serving as a lieutenant in Qianzhou on the faraway Jiangnan Road, and the second one was serving as a general in Zuowuwei Yamen in the capital.

They are all honest people, even if they are like Lao Liang, he has a bad temper and cannot be an official. The eldest brother took in a criminal friend out of loyalty and has already been dismissed from his post. The second brother, in order to save his brother, returned to the censor. The censor of Taiwan gave a gift, but the gift was withheld, and he was also held responsible for bribing the censor.

Yun Chu has always been very grateful to Lao Liang. After all, it was the existence of this old man that allowed him to make the first soft sound of a young phoenix in Chang'an.

There was no point in talking to Liang Jianfang. As long as his family's affairs came up, he would definitely ask Yun Chu to help his brother deal with some extremely difficult things first, and he would talk about his own affairs later.

Liang Jianfang had a good friend named Gao Zengsheng. He collaborated with Tang Fengyi, the chief minister of the Guangzhou Governor's Office, to frame Li Jing for rebellion. When he was finally investigated, it was found that the accusation was fabricated. Therefore, Gao Zengsheng was deprived of his official position and sent to the frontier for ever.

Originally, others would hide as far as possible from this kind of stinky guy who framed people. Unfortunately, Liang Jianfang did not do this. Instead, he kept interceding for this person. As long as he made a little contribution in the Western Region and Liaodong , So he complained to the emperor, hoping to use his own merits to offset Zeng Sheng's sins.

Emperor Taizong pitied him for being a fool and did not care about him. The current emperor felt that he was unreasonable and did not care about him. Therefore, until now, Gao Zengsheng's family is still staying in a remote place.

After Mrs. Zhou saw Yun Chu, she started to cry, and only asked Yun Chu to take her grandson Liang Ying away and raise her properly when he went to the Western Regions.

This was also the purpose of Yun Chu coming to the Liang family.

When he left the Yanmen County Duke's mansion with the well-equipped Liang Ying, Liang Jianfang came back, groaning in pain, and met Yun Chu and his grandson Liang Ying at the door who looked like they were traveling for a long trip.

"Where are you taking my grandson?"

"Go to the Western Regions and serve as a slave to the big animals."

"Can you bring Gao Cheng with you, Gao Liang? In this way, you will have two more big animals at your disposal."

Yun Chu looked at Liang Jianfang, who was standing on the ground enduring the pain, and said, "Back then, you treated me like a big beast. Now, I treat your grandson like a big beast. This is retaliation. Others have nothing to do with me." .”

Liang Jianfang's eyes dimmed, he turned to look at his tall grandson, his mouth trembled a few times and then said: "Don't cherish your life, people who cherish their lives will never survive."

After speaking, he did not look at his grandson Liang Ying who was kneeling at his feet. He then looked at Yun Chu and said in a pleading tone: "Don't push him to death."

Yun Chu's eyes were so sore. He clearly remembered that the same man drank from a large bowl with the King of Huihe on a high platform and ate meat. In front of him was the tall capital made of Turkic heads. At that time, The huge Jingguan was burning. With an order, two to three hundred Uighur deserters who had escaped from the battle were thrown into the Jingguan alive, their screams mixed with the sound of music.

It was at that time that Yun Chu saw a powerful Tang from Liang Jianfang for the first time.

However, ten years have passed. The violent, mighty and invincible commander in the past, the man who could pull out the enemy chief's spine and use it as a whip, has become the man in front of him begging him, begging him not to send his grandson to death. elder.

Yun Chu always believed that a person like him would be tough all his life and would never say a soft word until his death. Even after death, his bones would make the sound of gold and iron when struck.

Ten years have finally worn away the iron in a tough guy's body.

"Liang Ying is seventeen years old and has good martial arts skills. He can be my retinue."

Hearing what Yun Chu said, Liang Jianfang showed a smile on his face, took Yun Chu's arm and said, "I don't know how to entertain people. Come on, let's go have a drink."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "We are going to the military camp, so we can't drink anymore. I have already asked the old lady to arrange your taboo diet and take good care of your health. When I come back, I will arrange leg sawing surgery for you."

Liang Jianfang laughed loudly and said: "I kicked you many times with my left foot back then. You hold a grudge and won't give up until you cut off my left foot, right? Well, you are about to go on a long journey, so I won't hold you back." You, when you come back, I will give you this foot and have a good drink."

A smile appeared on Yun Chu's face, and he said to Liang Jianfang: "Brother's bullets have been removed. He just can't become the captain of Zhechong. He was demoted one level and became the captain of Guoyi. If he makes some achievements in the future, , it is not difficult to turn back and rush to the captain.

The bribery of the second brother was also discussed with the censors, but it was just a misunderstanding and the matter was revealed. "

When Liang Jianfang heard that the troubles involving his two sons had also been dealt with by Yun Chu, his eyes lit up and he grabbed Yun Chu before he could speak. He was sent out by Yun Chu, and Mrs. Zhou who was guarding the side blocked his mouth. Hastily dragged back to the mansion.

Yun Chu turned to Liang Ying, who was standing aside and said indignantly: "If you have the chance in the future, I will kill that guy named Gao."

Liang Ying nodded and said, "I've had this intention for a long time."

At the beginning of Yunchu, Liang Ying left Chang'an City and came to the military village on the edge of Qujiang River. At this time, there were bonfires everywhere in the military village, and there were rough men drinking, singing, and wrestling everywhere.

Among the people selected this time, 40% were the soldiers who had followed Yunchu in the Liaodong war in the past, 30% were retired thieves, snitches, and gangsters specially selected by Yunchu, and the other 30% were delinquents from Chang'an and Chang'an counties. people.

Seventy percent of the people here are dedicated to doing business in the Western Regions, and the main force of killing horse thieves, bandits, mountain bandits, and sand bandits along the way. The role of those snitches, ruthless bandits, and big thieves is to be occupied by the Big Food Country. of Sassanid, the main force that brought back the treasure of the Sassanid Kingdom.

Yunchu had no intention of helping the Sassanid country recover. There was no need for resurrection of a country that was destined to be swept into the garbage dump of history.

It would be more serious to use that money to let the people of Chang'an live a better life.

This is the first time Liang Ying has entered a military camp since he grew up. Ever since his grandfather stepped down from the position of General Youwei, the army has seemed very far away to him.

Following Yun Chu into the brightly lit Chinese military tent, Liang Ying dropped her luggage and took the initiative to grab Ma Shan and stand at the entrance of the military tent, assuming the responsibility of a soldier.

Wen Wenwen had been busy in the military tent for a long time. When she saw Yun Chu come in, she stood up and put a thick stack of documents in Yun Chu's hand and said: "There are many difficulties. Even if His Majesty agreed, they still found a lot of procedures for us. The trouble is that there are documents from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Works, etc. We have to go through each department. Oh, by the way, we just received the documents from the Shaofu Supervisor.

Every document has only one purpose - to ask for money, and every department wants to enrich their profits after we come back.

My suggestion is to find someone they can't refuse to help us run these procedures, and once the procedures are completed, travel immediately.

Also, let’s discuss whether it is feasible for us to ignore any stakeholder’s behavior of eating alone this time.

Otherwise, even if we come back safely, we will be the target of public criticism. "

Yun Chu thought for a while. Ever since the fall of the Changsun clan, all the officials in the court had become a complete mob. There had never been a minister as powerful as Changsun Wuji.

After this period of chaos, there will be a cruel era of cruel officials, where everyone has no time to care about others.

So, he decided to ignore these people.

"Now that the prince oversees the country, he will handle this matter well."

"I'm afraid it's not a good thing to approach the prince in such a big way at this time, right?"

"When have we ever concealed the fact that we are close to the prince?"

"It's better to be known than to be seen. Don't you understand the secret of being an official?"

"With His Majesty's suspicious character, if he approaches the Crown Prince openly, he may not have any unnecessary thoughts. After all, the Crown Prince is also a king, and sooner or later he will have his own team. This is allowed by the imperial power.

The emperor would not tolerate sneaking close to the prince, because doing so could easily remind the emperor of conspiracy.

To be honest, I think His Majesty has seen and felt so many conspiracies that he is disgusted with conspiracies from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, it is only right for me to openly ask the prince for help tomorrow to help with these things that we simply cannot do. "

She smiled softly and said, "Well, I hope nothing bad will happen if you do this. By the way, there were a few snitches in our team who misbehaved and I beheaded them."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "How dare they not be safe here?"

Wen Wenwen said bitterly: "I don't know if it's because I'm used to being a thief, but I stole something from my own head."

"What did they steal?" Yunchu asked curiously?

"The soldiers brought dry food from home."

"Stealing dry food? Don't they have anything to eat?"

"Yes, the problem is that the spicy food brought by the soldiers was unforgettable after eating it, so they stole it."

After hearing about this incident and contacting Chili Pepper, Yun Chu immediately became interested and asked: "Tell me, the Youpo Chili Pepper will be sold in small quantities in the cafeteria in half a month. Where did those Fu soldiers get it?"

He looked at Yun Chu with a gentle smile but not a smile and said, "Donggong!"

Yun Chu took a deep breath and said, "Does this little guy also know how to add sand to our team?"

Wen Wenhe chuckled and said: "Instead of saying that, it would be better to say that His Majesty is adding sand to our team. His Royal Highness is afraid that we will not find it, so he uses pepper to remind us.

Ah, at such an early age, he has started to play tricks on his father. It seems that our life will not be as easy as you think in the future. "
