Chapter 406: The Ambition of the Noble Bastard

  Chapter 406 The Ambition of the Noble and Bastard

  Qian Jiulong was reading the newspaper while holding the newspaper in his left hand, while tapping on the table with **** 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 succession of the new emperor, Qian Jiulong, Duke of the State of Xun, who was originally the military envoy of Youyuan and General Youwuwei, was transferred to the governor of Meizhou by the emperor's decree, and was driven to remote Shuzhong for more than two years.

   Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, only three people have been able to go from being a slave to being a prince. Apart from Fan Shixing and Ma Sanbao, the other one is Qian Jiulong.

  Slave to Duke, 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 traitors are in the temple, but the real heroes and generals are in the arena.

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 in exchange?

  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 get, the newspaper is full of boasting.

  He shook his hand and threw the newspaper out violently.

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

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

   "Grandfather?"

  Qian Jiulong looked at the son born to this servant girl, and glared, "I don't stay at home all day, where do 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."

   As for this bastard, Qian Jiulong actually quite likes him. He always feels that this child is very similar to him, with similar appearance and temperament.

  This guy was very handsome when he was young, who wouldn't call him a good boy, but when he grew up, he became a gangster, and was actually called a little rascal in Taiyuan.

  Qian Dexing wanted to be a ranger and a hero when he was young.

  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. It's not bad to be a ranger, 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.

  Actually, although Qian Jiulong used to be a slave of Tang Guogong's mansion, he didn't just become 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 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 young, and later entered Chang'an, so he is also good at riding and archery, 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.

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

  No one expected that King Qin's subsequent mutiny would succeed, so Qian Jiulong's position would inevitably be embarrassing. Although he actively offered his allegiance to the new crown prince, he still did not escape the fate of being kicked out of the center.

   In the past two years, I have been a man with my tail between my legs, which is also very melancholy.

  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 had all become officials before, and they were often demoted or transferred outside because of his involvement in the past. Only Qian Dexing and other youngest 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 for crimes and was sent to Li Yuan. 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 entitlements."

  Qian Jiulong narrowed his eyes.

   "What do you mean by tweeting again?"

   Qian Dexing, who has always wanted to be a hero, 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.

  The Liu Shuyi brothers had a good relationship with Qin Lang.

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

   "Recruit nobles and concubines to go to Wu'an Prefecture, Tweet and distribute the titles of knights and warriors, and confer fiefs on knights and warriors?" After hearing this, Qian Jiulong couldn't help being a little surprised, 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-sealing is really good, and it can effectively solve the problem of lack of people and horses in Wu'an Prefecture.

  The minds of young people are good.

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

   "I think this condition is good. Recently, the Qin family is in Chang'an to attract people. I heard that the nobles and concubines are very moved."

   "What about you, 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 look?"

"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 is still relatively smart, knowing how to think about the future.

   "Is it only considered in 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.

  Qian Jiulong was thinking, while looking up at 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, and now my son Dexing, maybe he can also find his own future from the **** son Ranger?

  The only one who is not at ease is Qin Sanlang. Qin Lang is too young. Although he is favored now, Qian Jiulong always feels that this young man climbs 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 an accident, then normally, Qin Lang is unlikely to have an accident.

  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.

  Perhaps it is a good thing that my son wants to go to Lingnan for a while, it is 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. He didn’t 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 is the son of a maidservant, he has been dishonest since he was a child, but such a child has a smart mind, and Qian Jiulong, who has been in the capital Chang'an for a long time, is really worried that he will be easily involved in right and wrong.

   "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."

   "This is actually an opportunity for you. Qin Lang has a good reputation, and now it's going smoothly. Without accidents, 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."

  Old Qian has high hopes for his son, and now that he is in an embarrassing situation, he can't help pinning his hopes on this son, maybe he can 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 suits of armor, ten horses, ten soldiers, ten slaves, plus three thousand coins.

  As a maidservant and concubine son, even if the family is really separated, in fact he may not be able to divide so much, after all, Lao Qian still has a lot of sons.

   "Son, thank you grandpa!"

  Xiaoqian was so excited that his lips trembled.

"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 our Qian family will have another branch of Jiaozhou Qian family in the future." Old Qian encouraged his son, patting him.

   "Thank you, Grandpa, I will work hard."

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

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

   "Prepare the horse!"

   "Where is Ah Lang going?"

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