Chapter 965 Thirteen Taibao
As usual, the whole family gathers for dinner.
"It's seafood again."
Yuxiao was very happy to see the steamed Dongxingban, while Yu Xuanji preferred the boiled prawns, which were tender and delicious, and the Furong Vermicelli Scallop was Yang's favorite.
Several barbarian concubines also like seafood, such as abalone, sea cucumber and cuttlefish, making a pot of Buddha jumping over the wall is delicious and nourishing.
Qin Lang was wearing a light and comfortable long gown. He felt very satisfied when he saw the whole family gathered together. It was a rare warm scene. He traveled around all these years, but he was not in the capital for many years. He had more and more children, but he had no time. accompany them.
The little guys are very polite and polite, but it can be seen that they all like seafood.
"Sanlang has been in Lingnan for several years, but the cooking level of this seafood is even better than that of Chang'an Da Seafood Restaurant."
"Grandpa is really amazing."
Qin Lang now has six sons and five daughters. Except for Fan You, the eldest son of Queen Linyi's surnamed Fan, the other ten children have all been sent to Lingnan. In addition, he has nine adopted sons. After graduating from Yulin Palace, he entered the Xuanwumen Garrison as an officer of Qianqi, and this time he also took the initiative to ask to go south with Qin Lang.
The second child, Cunyi, was studying in the Imperial College, and he also asked to go south, and the other adopted sons also came to the south. In addition to Cun En, who was studying in Huangpu Academy in Guangzhou, all the nine adopted sons came.
Anong's son Cunzhong and Acha's son Cunxian also came. These two also recognize Qin Lang as their father, but because of their mother's relationship, these two sons are different from the other nine sons.
Although in the big family, there are differences between the concubine and the concubine, and the parental leave is even different, but in Lingnan, Qin Lang is still very good to all the children, even the adopted son is regarded as already born. At dinner, the family gathers to eat together , There is no distinction between the concubine's concubine's and the pro's and fake's.
The boss, Cunxiao, is just in his early twenties, just in his youth. He has a bit of blood inheritance from his unknown Turkic father, which makes him tall and burly, and he does look a bit barbaric. He is good at riding and shooting, but he can win a spear empty-handed on a horse, and he can also pass through a Yang with a hundred steps. When he was in the Habayashi Palace, he was even a star player of the Emperor Saluzi polo team.
The golden mace handed down by Qin Lang is even more invincible in close combat.
When he was in Yulin Palace, he was awarded the title of Enemy by Li Shimin. In Chang'an, the Son of Heaven followed him personally, and his future was good, but he insisted on coming to Lingnan. Now he is the Commander of the Economic and Strategic Envoy Yamen, commanding the Yamen Guards.
"Are you still used to Cunxiao coming to Guangzhou? Is it cleared up by Yabing?" Qin Lang asked Cunxiao who was sitting silently at the dining table. He came here for dinner every day, but he seldom spoke, and answered whenever he had questions. Don't ask, don't tell, and keep a long distance from the concubines of the adoptive fathers.
"Returning to my adoptive father, Guangzhou is very good, the weather is beautiful and pleasant, and the Ya Nei Army is still in the process of training, and the progress is good."
The Economic Strategy Envoy's Yamen Army is a mobile army that Qin Lang plans to build. It can deal with emergencies and is as sharp as a sharp sword.
He mobilized elite soldiers from various towns and formed a 3,000-man Jinglue Envoy Yanei Army, including 1,200 cavalry and 1,800 infantry. Among the cavalry, there are 200 armored cavalry, 500 spear light cavalry, and 500 archer cavalry. Among the 1,800 infantry, there are also 300 Mo Dao soldiers, 500 iron armored longbowmen, 500 step spearmen, and another 500 crossbowmen. Dragoons.
This yamen army, composed of elites from the Lingnan armies, was handed over to Cunxiao to command. He could imagine that some people would be unconvinced. After all, Qin Cunxiao was still so young, and most people would think that he was just the Duke of Wei. Only the adopted son is in the yamen.
They don't know Cunxiao's hard work and hard work these years, they don't know his hard work, they take it for granted. Qin Lang didn't try to explain anything for Cun Xiao, he believed that this shouldn't be a big obstacle for Cun Xiao, and it was also a test for him.
This is the first time that Cun Xiao left Chang'an Emperor's Forbidden Army and came down to serve as a military commander. This is still a new army, otherwise there will be more problems.
If Cun Xiao can't even stand such a small test, it means that he is not mature enough.
So he threw Cunxiao to the Yanei army, and stopped asking, and let himself face the three thousand elites.
Cun Xiao's seemingly calm words made Qin Lang understand that the process might not be going very smoothly, but since this young man didn't complain to Qin Lang for help, it shows that he can still control the situation.
"Okay, I will leave it to you for the Yanei Army. To speed up the progress, the treatment of the Yanei Army is very good. They are also elites drawn from various armies, so I hope they can be a sharp sword, not a group of people." A pampered veteran soldier. He came to Guangzhou not to enjoy the blessings, but to serve as the tip of the sword."
"If you have any difficulties and needs in material equipment, just tell me directly, and I will solve it for you. As for the rest, it is up to you."
"My son has no difficulties for the time being, and everything is fine."
"Do those soldiers obey you?"
"Some people were dissatisfied at first, but my son set up a ring in the school grounds, and accepted the challenge for three days as the ring leader himself. Let them challenge with swords, guns, cavalry, and shooting!"
"You all won?"
"Fluke!"
Qin Lang nodded, "This is a solution, but it can only prove that you can be brave, but as the commander of the yamen, the leader of an army, it is not enough to fight alone."
"So my son asked those who were still dissatisfied to choose their own men and horses. I divided the 3,000 Yamen into two teams, and I united with each of them to conduct actual combat exercises. After fighting for seven days and seven nights, my son also defeated them. Seven times, so since then, the voice of dissatisfaction has become quieter, and those prickly heads have also been convinced a lot."
Qin Lang laughed out loud. He could have imagined that the process would not be easy, but Qin Cunxiao was able to defend the ring for three days without defeat, and he was able to practice for seven days, winning seven battles and seven victories, which was beyond him. Unexpectedly, this kid doesn't seem to have stayed in the Habayashi Palace and the Forbidden Army in vain, and there is indeed something real.
"sharp!"
When Cunxiao applied for the South Transfer, he also encouraged some students from the Yulin Palace in the camp. He said that going to Lingnan would have a better chance of making contributions, and he could hone his skills better than Chang'an, so he really encouraged a group of students to apply for South China Tune.
There were more than a dozen students in this group, including righteous brothers such as Cunyi, Pei Xingjian, Luo Tong and others who grew up together, but they were their uncle’s companions in name, and when they arrived in Guangzhou, they all joined the Yamen Army together. It was because of this small group that Cunxiao was able to gain a foothold in the Yanei army so quickly, and he established his prestige.
His method of actual combat drills and fighting in the arena was also from Pei Xingjian. Everyone worked together and won many battles. Those elite soldiers from the Lingnan Twelve Army Town were convinced.
Those people were drawn from various towns after all, and they improvised a team, but in terms of tacit understanding, how could they be better than Cunxiao and the others.
Besides, when they were in Yulin Palace, actual combat drills were commonplace, and they were all taught by the emperor, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Qin Lang, Chai Shao, Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, Liu Hongji, etc. .
The ability to talk about troops on paper, to deploy troops, and to perform in the sand table is absolutely extremely strong.
"I'm relieved to see that you are going well, but don't be proud. Although those people are not your opponents in the drill, they all came through the rain of swords, guns and arrows, and they all crawled out of the dead. Gentlemen, although you have learned a lot of military tactics, sand table deduction, and map homework, when it comes to real combat, you may still be far behind. You need to learn more from them. Don't just focus on your own small group, but take the initiative to integrate into everyone. When the Ya Nei Army is established, they are all brothers in the same robe, instead of being divided into Chang'an faction, Lingnan faction, etc., understand?"
"Thank you foster father for teaching."
Acha laughed, "If Sanlang doesn't let Cunxian also join the Yamen Army for training, Cunxian's riding and shooting skills are not bad."
Qin Cunxian sat there quietly. He was always a little unnatural in the big family gatherings. Apart from his mother, he was also relatively close to Cun En, who was also from a barbarian family.
Qin Lang glanced at the Cuan family boy.
"I heard that Cunxian likes Huangpu Academy very much, and he also likes to read. He even wrote a few short poems recently, which are very good. Since the child likes literature, let him concentrate on studying literature. Why force him?"
Qin Cunxian gave Qin Lang a grateful look. This young man left his hometown with his mother and came to Guangzhou, where he accepted a stranger as his father. Being in a completely unfamiliar environment was indeed not easy for him at a young age.
He has even begun to loathe his mother A-cha now. He would rather stay in Huangpu Academy every day. Only homework can let him temporarily relieve his inner loneliness.
Compared with Qin Lang's biological sons and daughters who are still young and innocent and romantic, these adopted sons are now sensible and mature, and they also know that they are not the real sons of the Duke of Wei, so they are working hard fight hard.
They all have a sense of crisis and urgency. Qin Lang treats them very well and creates good conditions for them, but they also know that they are not the real Qin family after all. They have no right not to work hard and must work harder. To be worthy of Duke Wei's kindness to them, they must be promising in the future, so that they can repay Duke Wei and protect Duke Wei's mansion.
The adopted sons have grown up one by one, especially the long-term not living together in the past few years, which even made them a little strange.
Qin Lang now brings them to Lingnan, no matter how busy everyone is usually, he asks them to come back to live in the next night, have a dinner together, and at least be able to chat a few words about homework, or ask about work, etc.
He tried to use this to strengthen some of the relationships with these growing adopted sons, to give them a little more of a family feeling.
He doesn't want his adopted sons to end up like those rich and powerful families.
Compared to the foster sons, his own biological children, he doesn't have to worry about these things now. These children are still young, and the oldest Qin Jun is only ten years old. They live with their mothers, even if they often don't see their father. , can't get company, but there is no problem.
The seafood is very good, and Qin Lang's cooking skills are really good.
The whole family was very happy to eat, and even Cunxiao and his brothers praised the foster father's cooking skills.
Yu Xiao couldn't help saying that he must learn how to cook seafood with Qin Lang when he has time.
Watching the dinner was over, the whole family said goodbye to each other while talking and laughing, and then they left. Qin Lang sat there but didn't leave, looking at the remaining cups, dishes, and dishes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It's not easy to maintain the harmony of this family, but I don't know if the warm atmosphere of this family will be broken after Changle, the princess, comes over?
Thinking of Changle, he couldn't help but think of Chengqian. Recently, the prince was struggling **** his way to death. He was ordained as a monk, rebuilt Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, carved and printed Buddhist scriptures, and even sent Xuanzang who came back from Dongying The master met him personally, and then agreed to the master's request to go to Western India to learn Buddhist scriptures.
Not only did he personally write the prince's order to let them pass through the prefectural and county checkpoints along the way, he also asked them to entertain and take care of them along the way, donated three thousand taels of money as money, sent soldiers to accompany him, and even directly ordered the construction of a grand temple in Chang'an City. Recruited eminent monks and scholars who were proficient in Sanskrit scriptures from all over the world to come to the capital to start translating Buddhist scriptures and make preparations for Xuanzang to come back to translate scriptures in the future.
Chengqian also held a grand event to welcome the Buddha bone relics in Chang'an, went to the Buddhist temple to marry the relics in person, and then took the lead in donating and enshrining...
Now there is a wave of worshiping Buddha in Chang'an. After a few years of silence, the monks are all proud again. There have been no Buddhist monks in Chang'an city for several years. Now a Buddhist temple has risen again, and the monks have begun to appear in groups. Chang'an.
Ordered to be ordained again and again, the number of monks ordained has reached tens of thousands, and most of them are monks and priests who were originally ordered by the imperial court to return to secular life. Yes, many people even got married and had children with nun female crowns, but now Chengqian asked them to re-shave, and directly awarded them a certiorari, restored temples for them, and gave them fields and so on.
This bustling behavior is called praying for the queen.
But what Qin Lang sees is black smoke, especially when he is going against the national policy promoted by the emperor. This kind of behavior is getting more and more noisy, and there is no way to stop it.
Qin Lang didn't know how long Li Shimin could tolerate it.
Today, he also received a Prince's order from Chang'an, Chengqian asked Qin Lang to save people in the south of Lingnan, requesting at least 3,000 people to be ordained, and also asked him to restore at least one hundred temples, and asked him to find a temple in the south of Lingnan. Hundreds of eminent monks and great masters were sent to Chang'an.
After reading it, Qin Lang threw it directly into the trash can.
Could it be that none of the princes in Chang'an city tried to persuade the crown prince?
