Chapter 749 King
In Pingyang at the end of the first year, the atmosphere is serious but also joyful.
When the two brothers Guo Yang and Guo Shi arrived, they were even stopped by a group of sergeants with Yecheng accents, because the size of their team was so shocking: there were more than 2,000 men, women, old and young, including both Hu and Han people.
The building owner who led the team looked at his paperwork carefully.
Unfortunately, he was illiterate. He only recognized the seal stamped by the military commander and it seemed to be genuine, so he called for a clerk to check.
"Where are they from?" The owner of the building looked at Er Guo and asked.
"Taiyuan people." Guo Yang said.
"What's your name?"
"Guo Yang."
The owner of the building didn't think anything after hearing it, but after thinking about it again, he was shocked and asked: "Guo Yang, the general of Wang Teng of Xincai?"
Guo Yang was a little embarrassed and said: "Exactly."
The owner of the building took a closer look at Guo Yang and said happily, "You have caused great harm to Da Hu."
Guo Yang was helpless, but did not explain.
How to explain? Explain that I was actually pretty good to Da Hu back then and didn’t beat him? Isn’t this looking for death?
I think back then, Da Hu had a good relationship with Guo Jing of Taiyuan. Later, Da Hu was captured by Sima Teng's people and wanted to sell him into slavery in Hebei. He was escorted by generals Guo Yang and Zhang Long.
When Guo Jing heard about it, he immediately sent his nephew Guo Shi to look for Guo Yang and ask him to take care of him on the way.
So, on the way to Hebei, Zhang Long beat and scolded Dahu a lot, but Guo Yang took care of him more.
A lot of people know about this, but it won't spread everywhere. Considering that the owner of the building who asked him is from Yecheng, this makes sense.
Today, Guo Jing is still running the family business in Wu County, Taiyuan County, while Guo Yang is running Wubao in his old house in Jiexiu - Wu County is northeast of Jiexiu, and the two are neighboring counties.
The most developed Guo family in Taiyuan at present is the branch living in Yangqu. Guo Rong, the governor of Leping, is the one. Guo Huai during the Cao Wei Dynasty was also born in Yangqu.
However, Guo Rong has moved to Leping, and from now on, the Leping Guo family may be the leader.
This time Guo Yang came to the west under the military order of the General's Office. He led more than 2,000 households from his Wubao family to Pingyang, received grain, grass, equipment, livestock and a small amount of rewards, and then went north to settle in Puzi (today's Xi County).
In the western half of Pingyang County, Beiqu, Huzhen (niè), and Puzi are deep in the Luliang Mountains. Puzi was the capital of Liu Yuan and was one of the core areas of Xiongnu influence.
Starting seven years ago, the Xiongnu implemented the national policy of "crossing Yongnu" and moved most of the five herdsmen who grazed in the mountains. Now the household registration has dropped sharply, and almost all of them are Huns. After various considerations, Shao Xun felt that it should be
Consolidate the flanks of Pingyang and decide to move the wealthy families who can be trusted to move here to guard it.
Wang Yan recommended Guo Yang and Shao Xun agreed.
Guo Yang also served as Pu Ziling, and relied on his more than 2,000 Hu and Han tribes to slowly consolidate the Yellow River defense line. Once developed, he could cross the river on a small scale to harass the Xiongnu Feng Yi and go to the county.
The Guo family in Taiyuan had lived among the Hu people for a hundred or two hundred years and was familiar with the affairs of the Hu people. This was also an important reason for Shao Xun's agreement.
In addition, Guo Yang was once a general under Sima Teng. Many of his subordinates were veterans and had good fighting qualities. This candidate was indeed a very suitable one.
After the clerk over there finished the inspection, he nodded to the owner of the building.
The owner of the building did not dare to be negligent and immediately sent someone to the city to inform him. Today is the ceremony for the canonization of King Liang, so nothing can happen.
The person who passed the news had been away for a long time and had not returned until noon.
Guo Yang and Guo Shi had no choice but to greet Bu Qu and his family members to sit on the ground, take out dry food and eat it.
The owner of the building brought them some vegetable soup, and Guo Yang stood up and bowed to express his thanks.
"I heard that the Wang Manor in Pishi County was attacked, why don't you go there?" the owner asked, leaning on a willow tree.
"You said I don't want to go?" Guo Yang said with a bitter smile: "That Zhuangzi was designated by Liu Cong for the Wang family in Taiyuan. It has more than 1,600 hectares, all of which are well cultivated land. There is a ferry at the foot of Longmen Mountain to the west of Zhuangzi, which has many benefits.
.However, it was taken away by the imperial court and I heard that it will be renamed Lutian."
Wang's manor was changed to Lutian, and the villagers were dispersed to Pishi, Linfen, Jiangyi and other counties and settled as citizens.
The more than 1,600 hectares of land belonging to the manor were given to the captives for farming, and the proceeds were used to pay official salaries. Since the Han Dynasty, more than 80% of the salaries were in kind, that is, grain, cloth, fruits and vegetables, etc., all produced in the fields, so these
Each dynasty retained a huge system of official slaves.
"That's a pity." The owner of the building said, "It's a pity for those Huns soldiers."
As Shi Le surrendered his troops, he had some sympathy for the Huns' surrender.
Liu Han's army was commonly known as "Hongnu soldiers" by people at the time, but were those people really Huns? That's not necessarily true.
In fact, the majority of the Han people are miscellaneous people, while the people from the five Xiongnu tribes are in the minority.
After these people surrendered, some were lucky enough to disperse and go home.
Some are unlucky enough to go to Bianliang to build the palace city, but they will be let go after a year or two - the burden of last year's war was too great, and when the second war started in September, the palace city construction was stopped again, and it will be resumed in March this year.
There are also some people who have the worst luck and directly become official slaves.
There is no fairness in this matter.
Fairness is inherently a luxury. Good luck means good luck, bad luck means bad luck. There is nothing to say.
Guo Yang was eating, drinking, and chatting. He waited for more than an hour before he saw several people coming out of the Yangmen. The leader was Wen Qiao, the military counselor of the General's Mansion.
"Are you Guo Yang and Guo Qingcheng in front? I am Wen Qiao of Taiyuan, and I have been ordered to deliver the funds to you." Wen Qiao shouted from a distance, and at the end, he added: "Wait a moment."
At this time, the few officials who followed him came to the willow tree where the owner of the building was leaning, took out a piece of hard yellow paper, and posted it on it.
The owner of the building hurriedly avoided it, but did not go far. Instead, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the words on the paper. After a long time, he shook his head, his eyes were blurred and he did not recognize it.
However, after the officials finished posting, they turned to the crowd and read the article on the notice loudly——
"There are many troubles in the world, and the king's government is becoming more and more chaotic. In the past, there was chaos in the women's temple, and in the later days, the barbarians raised their troops outside. The kings were bold enough to attack each other, and the ministers were at a loss for what to do."
"Shao Xun, Duke of Liang, has done great things with his unparalleled talents."
"In the outskirts of Luojing, defeat the Hulu troops."
"In the important place of Yecheng, get rid of the smell of Jie Nu."
"The famous district of Qilu, the evil atmosphere of Jing demon thieves."
"Go up to Dang Mountain and kill the wise king of the Huns."
"It has been sixteen years since Li Shi was in chaos, and disasters have plagued the sea. Heaven has favored China and the DPRK, and it is because of this that it has prospered. It has built the first place, and it must be the first. I favor the four seas, harmonize all nations, how can I not be punished?
Award certificate?
"Today, I sent Da Honglu and Yang Mao to prepare a ceremony and book of orders, draw the land and divide the land, and appoint the minister as the King of Liang. The five counties of Taiyuan, Leping, Xinxing, Pingyang and Ruyin will be the territory. I will remain as before."
"I hope that you will not be afraid of fatigue and hardships, and will lead the three armies to support Yong and Qin, and gather the troops to pacify the Yan Dynasty. You will be granted the title of screen vassal and will protect the emperor and Jin forever. With this order, I will announce it to China and foreign countries, and the Xian envoy will know it."
Many people gathered around the willow tree. After hearing this, they were stunned at first, and then started talking about it.
After listening to it, Guo Yang felt mixed emotions.
The world is about to have a new master!
Fortunately, the Guo family in Taiyuan fell to Liang Gong at the critical moment - no, Liang Wang, because of his small merits, did not end up like the Wang family.
However, the ones who came to the forefront were the Guo clan from Yangqu, not Jiexiu, Wu County, and Jinyang.
Although they are all from the same ancestor, and they often go to Jiexiu when offering sacrifices, they are not a family after all. In a few decades, they may have to separate to offer sacrifices, and then they will become strangers and no longer relatives.
You have to rely on yourself for everything!
Guo Rong may not help him Guo Yang, he will earn his own future, that's all.
"Qingcheng, talk here." After Wen Qiao looked at everyone's reactions, he felt quite satisfied, so he pulled Guo Yang far away and whispered: "I'm going to Puzi this time. Do your best, don't let the captain down."
see."
Guo Yang's heart moved and he responded with a respectful voice.
"You can't write two characters of Guo in one stroke. The Jiexiu Guo family, the Wu people Guo family, the Jinyang Guo family, and the Yangqu Guo family are all Taiyuan Guo families. The old lady has been talking about you, the descendants of the Guo family,
There will be opportunities for promotion in the future, don't worry." Wen Qiao said again.
Guo Yang's mind gradually became more active, and he said: "Don't worry about offering wine, I only have the Taiwei to follow his lead."
"Train your troops well." Wen Qiao nodded and said: "Puzi is the old capital of Liu Yuanhai, and the situation is complicated. But if you manage it well, it may be a fortune. If you conquer the Xiongnu tribe, you can get tens of thousands of fine cavalry.
When the troops enter Hexi, they can perform extraordinary feats, and the Taiwei can help you speak in front of King Liang."
"I - what should I do?" Guo Yang got excited and asked subconsciously.
At this time, Wen Qiao's words became a bit unserious, and he said with a low smile: "Do you have many children?"
Guo Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "I have more than twenty legitimate children."
"That's good. Marry more nobles from the Huns. Don't be afraid of what others will say. Prestige is more important than face." Wen Qiao laughed, turned and left.
Guo Yang stood dumbly for a long time and finally smiled.
In the Pingyang Palace, not long after the canonization ceremony, the newly promoted Liang Wang Shaoxun issued an order: his wife Yu Wenjun will be the "Princess", and the four concubines, Lelan Ji, Lu Xun, Liu Xiaohe, Pei Lingyan, Wang Jingfeng, Wang
Hui Feng, Cui Qing'e and Liu Ye are called "Madam".
The country has a dynasty system, and the concubines of princes are all called wives.
The official wife of a high official should be called madam, and concubines should not be called madam in vain.
No wife or concubine below the rank of senior official can be called madam.
Liang Wang Shaoxun had one principal concubine, twelve wives, and a total of thirteen people in the harem, which was not even as many as the women of the local rich.
There was a sensational one who suggested that Dona enrich the harem with dignified and elegant noble ladies, so as not to "shake the country's foundation". Shao Xun pretended to be stupid and did not accept this.
A dozen or so women are enough, but you don't have to pay too much for your essence.
No matter how many there are, he is afraid that he will not be able to live well in his old age, because his family really has a successor to the throne.
Among the twelve ladies, there are actually high and low levels.
Some women's natal families are very supportive.
Some women are very favored.
Some women are valued for being young, beautiful and having a long flowering period.
Some women can bring a different kind of excitement.
And so on and so forth.
Considering Princess Yu's weak temperament, Shao Xun did not want to put too much pressure on her.
Although he may not believe it, he cherishes the friendship he has known with Yu Wenjun since childhood. Yu Wenjun decided to marry him, which he will remember for a long time.
His harem, just like the world, is a mess.
