The Golden Age Chapter 856: Tianshi disciple

The saint said indifferently: "In this way, the prime minister has full confidence in defeating Yuangai Wushuang?"

"The old minister is well-informed." The state minister was quite self-confident: "Yuan Gai Wushuang is limited to three days, in fact, he has worries in his heart. The people of Bohai know that my Datang is rich in land, with outstanding people, and I am on the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty. , Naturally there are many young masters who have never been born."

The sage nodded slightly and said: "Naturally, I also know that the folks must hide many strange people and strangers. Yuangai Wushuang is limited to three days. Even if the news of setting the ring is spread today, it will be spread within a few days. Not far away. Even if there are young masters who want to win glory for the country, but after getting the news, they will rush to Kyoto, it is too late." A smile of disdain appeared on the corners of his lips: "Bohai people are very cunning, and on the bright side, they want to put down the ring. Facing the young masters of the world, only people near Gyeonggi can participate in time."

Guo Xiangdao: "The saint is extremely true, but even in the Gyeonggi area, there must be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

"Since the establishment of the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty, the area around Gyeonggi has put an end to fights between the rivers and lakes, and the use of force to ban them will naturally not occur in the area of ​​Gyeonggi." The saint thoughtfully said: "Although Gyeonggi has a large population, it is a true boy. But there are not too many masters.” Sitting on the chair, he motioned the country minister to sit down and speak, and said softly: “Among the children of the nobles and princes of Kyoto, there are really few young masters who can do well, otherwise I will not bury them. "Speaking of this, the nameless fire broke out, and sneered: "Kyoto officials, children of Kyoto, all in fine clothes and jade, food and cockfighting lackeys, few become talented. The prime minister, what is the martial arts of Yuan Gai Wushuang? I see that he is full of confidence, what is he Come confident?"

Guo Xiangdao: "Yuan Gaijian has five sons and three daughters. Yuan Gai Wushuang is his youngest son, not a concubine, but a concubine. Among his sons, the most famous are the eldest son and the third son. Son, the eldest son followed Yuan Gaijian to fight everywhere. He was good at marching and fighting, and he was considered a member of the Bohai Sea. The third son had always admired my Datang. Since childhood, he hired a master from Datang to study the sub-collection of scriptures. It is said that this person It's only in the Bohai Sea. As for Yuangai Wushuang...!" At this point, the voice suddenly stopped.

"How?"

"This time Yuangai Wushuang came with the Bohai delegation, very suddenly, we didn't get any news beforehand. After learning that this person came, the old minister also let someone inquire about his information, but the information about this person, Very rare.” Guoxiang said: “The Yuangai family is well-known in Bohai, but this family is actually very mysterious in the eyes of many people. Even most people in Bohai don’t know how many children he has. It was also known to the world before. There are only three fathers and sons, Yuan Gai Wushuang's name, almost no one knows even in Bohai."

The sage frowned and said: "Bohai is my largest neighbor in the northeast of Datang. The Yuangai family is more powerful in the Bohai than the Bohai royal family. We haven't even figured out the information about the Yuangai family?"

"The saint calms down." The state minister immediately said: "In addition to Yuan Gaijian, three of the five sons of the Yuan Gai family are officials in the court. We have detailed information on the situation of these four people. They We all have a clear understanding of his appearance and preferences. However, the second son of Yuan Gaijian has cerebral palsy since he was a child, so he has not paid much attention to him. As for Yuan Gai Wushuang, he was not an official in the court, and before that He rarely appears in front of the public, so we do lack information about him."

"In this way, Yuan Gai Wushuang's martial arts is deep and shallow, and the state minister is not clear?" The saint glanced at him, "Who does he come from, does the state minister also know?"

The state minister respectfully said: "The old minister does not know."

"The prime minister of the country, the so-called knowing oneself and the enemy, can only survive a hundred battles." The saint sighed: "Now that you don't even know the details of Yuan Gai Wushuang, how can you be sure of winning? You are so old to hold the country, and I have always been relieved. Leave the affairs of the state to you. I still feel that you did not think deeply about today’s affairs. It’s just that I have to take care of your face. It’s not good to brush your face in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty."

"The saint's kindness, the old minister is grateful." The state minister said solemnly: "However, the advice of the old official today is definitely not a whim. The old official thought that even if Yuan Gai Wushuang is not bad in martial arts, he is only sixteen years old after all. After all, the martial arts cultivation is limited. Three days in the arena, we can watch from the sidelines in the first two days to see if there is a young master who can beat him on the stage. If we really do, it will not only boost the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, but also inspire. People’s hearts make people all over the world happy."

"What if no one can beat him for two days?"

"Does the saint forget that the real master is in the palace." The Guoxiang stared at the saint and said softly: "The lover of the Great Master, did the saint forget?"

The saint frowned and said: "You mean Chen Xun?"

"Exactly." The state minister whispered: "Chen Xun is the only disciple of the Great Celestial Master. He has been under the Great Celestial Master for 16 years. The old minister still remembers that the Great Celestial Master saw Chen Xun in the snow. , He asserted that Chen Xun was talented and he must have achievements in martial arts that ordinary people can't match. Datian teacher never praised people easily, let alone children who were only five or six years old at the time."

"If I remember correctly, Chen Xun is already over twenty years old." The saint said: "Going up the agreement will only let young people under twenty years old enter the ring. Chen Xun's age has passed."

Guoxiang smiled and said: "No one knows Chen Xun’s birthday, and he sat down in the Great Master to practice Taoism Kungfu, and he has good health maintenance skills. He met it once a few years ago, and he was much younger than his true age. , Although he is over twenty now, he looks only sixteen or seventeen years old at most."

The sage pondered a little, and then said: "He has never been against the world, and naturally he will not let his disciples fight with others. I only worry that he will not agree to let Chen Xun take the shot."

"Sage, this ring seems to be just an ordinary contest, but it is more important than a decisive battle on the battlefield." The state minister said with a serious face: "Bohai people and Yuangai Wushuang are confident and arrogant. Li, as long as they are defeated by the Tang people in the arena, the Bohai people’s arrogance will be immediately smashed, and after the neighboring countries know this, they will know that I have plenty of martial arts in the Tang Dynasty, and no one dares to provoke easily. And once I am big Tang wins and gives two titled princesses, and this matter can be resolved smoothly." Gazing at the saint said: “If the great celestial master disagrees, of course others cannot persuade him, but if the saint finds him personally, he will never be able to persuade him. Will refuse, and this is also for Datang."

The saint was thoughtful and did not speak.

When the saint and the state minister were in the palace discussing how to deal with the arena, Qin Xiao had already left the palace and rode the black king back to Dali Temple.

He originally wanted to go straight back to catch up, but when he was out of the palace, Dali Temple Qing Su Yu and Shao Qing Yunlu were also with him, so he was naturally embarrassed to leave the two of them and go straight home.

Qin Xiao was not too excited to be given the title of Viscount today, but after leaving the Taiji Hall, other officials congratulated Qin Xiao one after another.

Qin Xiao was knighted at a young age. Many people are naturally not convinced, but they also understand that the saint really loves Qin Xiao, this young viscount

In the future, it is bound to be peaceful, no matter what you think in your heart, congratulations on this side are indispensable.

Qin Xiao naturally dealt with it face to face.

The three of them returned to Dali Temple together. Su Yu was very old and went to the morning court early in the morning. She was very tired and not verbose. He went directly to sleep. Yun Lu was the news that Qin Xiao was awarded the title of Viscount. It is said to everyone that another group of officials must come over to say congratulations. After Qin Xiao sent the people away, he thought that he would also return to Zuo Qing's office to make up for it. This energy must be taken care of, otherwise he would not be able to deal with Qiuniang at night. .

Although Yun Lu is at the same level as Qin Xiao, but now he has his head down to Qin Xiao. It seems that it is an honor to stand beside Qin Xiao. He actually sent Qin Xiao back to Zuoqing’s office and was about to leave, Qin Xiao Thinking of something, I asked: "Master Yun, I almost forgot one thing, and I was about to ask you for advice."

"If you give me any instructions, your lord, I don't dare to ask for advice." Yun Lu laughed with him.

"The saint gave me the title and other things. I rejected the golden silk and satin. I remember the will said, "I will reward me with 500 acres of land?" Qin Xiao asked humbly.

Yun Lu smiled and said: "My lord, the appreciation of the town does not mean the town, but the food town."

"Food town?"

"In other words, it is to increase salaries for adults." Yunlu said: "The land does not belong to the adults, but the grain produced every year on 500 acres of land belongs to the adults. As far as I know, one acre of fertile land has a good climate. Under the circumstances, it can produce more than one stone of rice, 500 acres of fertile land, and 700 or 800 stone of rice in a year." He said in a low voice, "In addition to the salary of the first grade, there were only 600 stone of grain and rice. , The adults are awarded five hundred mu of food towns, and they can get seven to eight hundred shi grains and rice every year, which is more than that of the first-grade seniors."

Qin Xiao realized it at this time. It’s no wonder that after he was granted the title, many courtiers looked at him wrongly. The five hundred lumies he received from the imperial court every year were not enough for officials in the imperial court. Than.

Qin Xiao was born and raised in the bitter cold land of the northwest. He knew the preciousness of rice, and the food he received was equivalent to the one-year ration of hundreds of families in Xiling.

However, he also knew in his heart that the saint rewarded himself. In addition to his meritorious service in Jiangnan this time, he actually helped himself to handle errands more steadily. After all, Neiku has to wait for the money sent from Jiangnan every year, compared to The millions of taels of silver that Neiku obtained from Jiangnan is not worth mentioning.

After Yun Lu left, Qin Xiao fell asleep in the lounge of the Zuoqing Department. Regarding the arena, I will not consider it for the time being. I will think about it when I have enough energy.

This night I slept until the afternoon. If it weren’t for someone knocking on the door, Qin Xiao would continue to regenerate. Waking up by the knock on the door, Qin Xiao sat up, stretched his waist, and after a nap, he could not recover. Shao, I sighed that when I was in love with Sheyue at that time, I didn't know how to control it. Unknowingly, I was almost consumed by the plump body. If I have a chance in the future, I really need to be more restrained and never indulge.

"Who?"

"My lord, someone wants to see the lord." Someone outside cautiously said: "The person seems to have something important to see the lord. He has been waiting for more than an hour. The villain dare not disturb the lord. Come and see if the lord is awake."

"Who?"

"His name is Lin Hong, and he said that he has something to report to an adult." The man outside said: "Always waiting in the side hall!"
