Chastity Layman

Qian Jiulong was reading the newspaper while holding the newspaper in his left hand, while tapping on the table with two fingers in his right hand.

This slave-born Duke Xun had just returned from his post as Inspector of Meizhou. He had been back to Chang'an for a while, but he had never been summoned by the emperor, and the court had never arranged for him a new post. He heard that the emperor still treated him A little dissatisfied, even Yu Shitai is investigating him.

Since the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Qian Jiulong, Duke of the State of Xun, who was originally an envoy of Youyuan Army and General Youwuwei, was transferred to the post of governor of Meizhou by the emperor's decree, and was driven to the remote Sichuan for more than two years.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were only three people who could go from being a slave to being a prince. Apart from Fan Shixing and Ma Sanbao, the other one was Qian Jiulong.

From a slave to a prince, this is not normal.

Nowadays, people say that Qin Qiong's son, Qin Lang, was appointed Duke of the State and Zhu State at the age of sixteen, and eighteen of them have already worshiped the prime minister twice to participate in politics. But in comparison, Qin Lang has the Duke of the State and Lao Tzu, and it is a coincidence that he has the Xuanwu Sect. The power of the dragon. But he, Qian Jiulong, was the result of his hard work back then.

Qian Jiulong shook the newspaper and sneered twice.

In today's world, it is true that the little traitor is in the temple, but the real hero and general are in the rivers and lakes.

This Qin Lang, who was only eighteen years old, actually paid homage to the prime minister twice, and became the number one meritorious official with Qin Qiong. Thinking about his life and death, he was also a meritorious official in Taiyuan Yuancong in the Wude Dynasty, but after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was also named a meritorious official. Only 400 households were sealed off.

And he was one of the twelve army envoys in Guanzhong at that time, commanding one-twelfth of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. After Li Shimin's mutiny, as a veteran of Wude, he still cooperated with the new prince's orders.

But what did this get?

Four hundred households were sealed off, and in a blink of an eye he was kicked out to serve as governor of Meizhou in central Shu.

It took more than two years to recall it, and it has been cold until now.

This Qin Sanlang has already sealed off 1,600 households, and now he has become the first world-appointed governor, with a fief of hundreds of miles in Jiaozhou.

The more I look at it, the more angry I am, the newspaper is full of boasting.

With a shake of his hand, he threw the newspaper out violently.

The newspaper drew an arc and hit the distant pillar like a flying knife.

The door opened, and the bastard Qian Dexing walked in.

"Grandpa?"

Qian Jiulong looked at the son born to this servant girl, and glared, "I don't stay at home all day, where did you go to fool around? I have been away from Beijing for the past two years, let's see what kind of ghost you have become."

For this bastard, Qian Jiulong actually liked it quite a bit. He always felt that this child was very similar to him, in appearance and temper.

This guy was very handsome when he was young, who would not call him a good boy, but when he grew up, he became a gangster, and was actually called a little rogue in Taiyuan.

When Qian Dexing was young, he wanted to be a ranger, to be a hero.

In the past, Qian Jiulong was just a domestic slave of Tang Guogong Li Yuan's family, so he naturally wouldn't discipline this son who was also a slave too much. Being a ranger is also good, anyway, his family doesn't have any titles to inherit.

It's just that no one expected that the Qian family would turn around again one day.

In fact, although Qian Jiulong used to be a slave of Tang Guogong's mansion, he was not just a slave when he was a child, he was also a son of an official family.

The Qian family is a noble family in Jiangdong, and it is also a family with a long history. His father, Qian Wenqiang, named Zhichang, was originally a general of Nanchen, and the hereditary title of Marquis of Yong'an was passed down in his family. Later, Qian Wenqiang followed Wu Mingche and fought the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Pengcheng.

During the Sui Dynasty, Qian Wenqiang died, and Qian Jiulong succeeded his father as Marquis of Yong'an. Yang Guangshi, who was not a slave for his crime, was sent to Tang Guogong Li Yuan as a slave.

After becoming a general, although Qian Jiulong was born in Huzhou, Jiangdong, he grew up in Jiankang when he was a child, and later entered Chang'an, so he is also good at riding and shooting, and also good at boat and water warfare. Therefore, after he was dispatched to Li Yuan as a slave, Li Yuan treated him well, letting him lead the household trilogy, and together with Fan Shixing, who was also demoted to slavery due to crimes, became Li Yuan's trusted leader of the household.

After the rise of troops in Jinyang, Qian Jiulong also worked very hard. He shed blood on the battlefield and served as a security guard in the barracks. Therefore, Li Yuan later awarded him the doctor Jinzi Guanglu regardless of his slave background. He was awarded the title of General of the Twelve Guards for his military exploits, and he also conquered Luoyang from Li Shimin, and conquered Liu Heita with his conquest.

Because of the construction of Libao, he was granted the title of Duke of Xun and served as the military envoy of Youyuan. He became one of the generals who held actual military power in the last years of Wude.

But prosperity is also due to construction, and disaster is also due to construction.

No one expected that King Qin's mutiny succeeded in seizing the throne, and now Qian Jiulong's position is inevitably embarrassing. Although he actively pledged his allegiance to the new prince, he still did not escape the fate of being kicked out of the center.

It is also very melancholy to be a man with my tail between my legs in the past two years.

He went to Meizhou, and his son and family members stayed in Chang'an.

The other sons in the family grew up at an early age, and they all became officials before, and they were often demoted or transferred outside because of his involvement in the past, only Qian Dexing and other young sons are still in Beijing.

Seeing his son acting like a fool, Qian Jiulong was very dissatisfied.

Fan Shixing used to be the same as him. He was also a slave because of his crimes, and he was sent to Li Yuan, and later he also made meritorious service. After the Xuanwu Gate, he was also demoted. But Fan Shixing's sons are very smart, they knew that they took the initiative to hook up with Liu Wenjing's son, and then got in touch with Qin Lang through him, and they are doing well now.

Fan Shixing also returned to Chang'an a year earlier than him, and was even reused.

"Grandpa, have you heard that Qin Sanlang is recruiting knights and warriors in Chang'an, and he wants to extend his entitlement to the enfeoffment."

Qian Jiulong narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean by re-enforcing Tweet?"

Qian Dexing, who wanted to be a hero with all his heart, has become as free as a wild horse because of his father's release in the past two years.

This kid used to be close to Chang'an heroes Shi Wanbao and Liu Jiu, and now he is getting close to the new generation of Chang'an heroes Liu Shuyi and others.

And the Liu Shuyi brothers have a good relationship with Qin Lang.

These days, Brother Liu Shuyi is helping Qin Lang recruit Rangers to go to Wu'an Prefecture.

"Recruit nobles and bastards to go to Wu'an Prefecture, Tweet and grant titles of knights and warriors, and confer fiefs on knights and warriors?" Qian Jiulong couldn't help being a little surprised after hearing this, he stroked his beard, this Qin Sanlang is really capable of tossing around.

As soon as he got a piece of fiefdom, the emperor turned around and asked him to tour the south of the sky on his behalf. Now he has not set off yet, and he has started recruiting troops in Chang'an again.

After careful analysis, Qian Jiulong also had to admit that this method of tweeting and re-blocking is really good, and it can effectively solve the problem of lack of people and horses in Wu'an Prefecture.

Young minds are fine.

"What do you think?" Qian Jiulong asked his son.

"I think the conditions are pretty good. Recently, the Qin family is recruiting people from all over Chang'an. I heard that the nobles and bastards are tempted."

"And you, do you have any ideas?"

Qian Dexing approached with a smile, and helped his father rub his shoulders, "Grandfather, the brothers Lu Guogong and the two plan to take some brothers to go south with Wei Gong in a few days. They say they want to see the scenery of Jiangnan and Lingnan. To see if I can find some way to make a fortune, I also want to follow along to see."

Old Qian knew his son's character very well, "Just to see?"

"To tell you the truth, I think Weigong's re-enclosure is good. I have no future as a maidservant. I have learned some riding and shooting skills before. If Wu'an Prefecture is a good place, then My son will also join the Qin family's fief, and he will also get a knight fief, so maybe he can make a difference."

Old Qian nodded, and his son was quite smart, knowing how to think about his future.

"Just thinking about it this way?"

"My son is actually optimistic about Wei Gong. He will not be so peaceful when he is sealed in the barbarian land of Jiaozhou. The Duke can also make some contributions. Didn’t the father always teach his son that the most important thing is to be optimistic about the situation and talents? Wei Gong is the prince’s teacher and has skills, so following Wei Gong is actually aboard the prince’s boat. "

Qian Jiulong snorted.

Mortal wisdom.

I chose the wrong person and the wrong team at the beginning. He was originally the confidant of the Supreme Emperor. Later, he also fought Xue Shiju, Liu Wuzhou, and Wang Shichong with the King of Qin, and Dou Jiande, but he was still recruited by the prince. boat.

In fact, thinking about it now, even if he did it all over again, maybe he would still choose to follow Jiancheng. After all, who would have thought that Jiancheng, which was superior in all aspects, would fail in the end.

Thinking about it, Qian Jiulong raised his head and looked outside the door.

The sky is clear.

The temperature has gradually picked up, slowly feeling like summer.

At this time, Lingnan is already extremely hot.

Jiaozhou is not a good place, but it may be a place where you can make great achievements.

I followed the Supreme Emperor back then, from a slave to the founding father of the country, now my son Dexing, maybe he can also find his own future from the bastard son of a knight-errant?

The only one who was not at ease was Qin Sanlang, Qin Lang was too young, although he was favored now, Qian Jiulong always felt that this young man was climbing too fast and too high.

The higher you climb, the worse you may fall in the future.

But Qin Lang is the prince's teacher, this is the emperor's special arrangement, if the prince Chengqian does not have any accidents, then normally, Qin Lang is unlikely to have any accidents.

Will something happen to Chengqian?

Qian Jiulong, who has followed Jian Jian and then capsized, is a little uncertain. Cheng Qian is still too young, but Cheng Qian is already very famous, and the possibility of him capsized is too low.

Maybe it's a good thing for my son to want to go to Lingnan, it's better than wandering around Chang'an city all day now.

Although Chang'an City is at the foot of the emperor, it is bustling and bustling, but it is also a dangerous place with undercurrents and undercurrents, and it may be involved in some bad things someday.

In fact, why was he demoted to a palace slave for his crime?

From marquis to slave, this is precisely why Qian Jiulong's father was on the wrong team. In the battle for the prince in the Sui Dynasty, Qian Jiulong's father, the old Marquis, supported the prince Yang Yong, but Yang Yong was later defeated by Yang Yong. Guang gave the reserve position.

The old Marquis took a step earlier and did not wait for Yang Guang to ascend the throne. As a result, he was the one who attacked the noble. Immediately after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was punished by Qiuhou and demoted to slavery.

Although Qian Dexing was a concubine born to a maidservant, he was dishonest since he was a child, but such a child has a clever mind, and Qian Jiulong was really worried that he would be easily involved in right and wrong after he had been in Chang'an, the capital for a long time.

"If you really think about it, then I support you to go to Lingnan. Young people, you should go out and make a living. Even if you find out that Wu'an Prefecture is not a good place in the future, you can still come back."

Old money tapped on the table.

"Have you considered?"

Qian Dexing nodded excitedly, "I didn't expect Grandpa to support me so much, and I was worried that you would disagree."

"In fact, this is indeed an opportunity for you. Qin Lang has a good reputation. Now it's going smoothly. If there is no accident, he will be popular for at least 20 years. What do you need, I will prepare it for you?"

It was rare for Xiaoqian to see his father support him so much, and he was almost moved to tears.

"One horse and one sword are enough."

"Bastard, what can one horse and one sword do? You are going to be an entrusted knight, and you will have your own fief. Look at how Qin Sanlang prepared. Before he went, he had already started recruiting knights and warriors." , recruit people, etc., and make all preparations for the past.”

"Do you think that a manor can be developed with one horse and one sword? Even a farm needs a lot of things."

He thought for a while, "You can take my armor and that set of armor, and I will also give you my black lacquered iron horse lance given by the emperor. You can choose ten horses from our stable. Put it on."

"You can also choose some servants from the mansion and manor."

Lao Qian had high hopes for his son, and now that he was in an embarrassing situation, he could not help pinning his hopes on this son, maybe he could also leave a glimmer of hope for the Qian family.

"The family in the mansion will pick ten of them for you and you will bring them, and the slaves will pick ten for you, and I will give you 3,000 guan for the money. It will be regarded as an early separation, and you will not have a share in this family from now on. It’s all your brothers’, would you like it?”

Two sets of armour, ten horses, ten family soldiers, ten slaves, plus three thousand coins.

As a maidservant and concubine, even if the family was separated, he might not be able to divide so much, after all, Lao Qian still gave birth to quite a few sons.

"Thank you grandpa, son!"

Xiaoqian's lips trembled with excitement.

"The path you choose, you have to walk on it. Even if there are many thorns ahead, don't be afraid. Perseverance is the most important thing in doing things, and loyalty is the most important thing in being a person. Since you want to be Qin Lang's retainer, you must be loyal to the master. Understand?"

"Work hard and make a lot of progress. Maybe in the future, our Qian family will have another branch of the Jiaozhou Qian family." Lao Qian patted his son to encourage him.

"Thank you, Grandpa, I will try my best."

After his son left, Qian Jiulong sat in the study and thought about it for a long time.

Looking up and seeing that it was still early outside, Qian Jiulong got up and called the steward.

"Prepare the horse!"

"Where is Aaron going?"

Qian Jiulong looked up at the sky, "Go to Duke Wei's mansion in Pingkangfang, I'm going to visit Duke Wei."

"Go to Madam to pick out some gifts, get some precious things, don't just bring out some gold and silverware, understand, I am going to meet a distinguished guest, and there must be noble gifts to match, otherwise it will considered disrespectful."
