Chapter 417: The Exclusion of the Court

The sixth is sent!

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Luo Cheng sealed the lock and returned to his hometown for the New Year in advance.

At this time, there were more than 20,000 people in the original Left Fifth Army, and there were only a few hundred people left who came from Zhangqiu with Luo Cheng. At the beginning, Luo Cheng led 600 people to leave Zhangqiu and go north to conquer Liao, and it has been two years, and there are still more than 300 of the 600 people left at this time.

In two years, almost half of the old brothers were killed.

Fortunately, because of their high positions, these iron brothers such as Heiye, Cunxiao, Zhao Gui, Du Fuwei, Shixin, and Fugongyi basically did not fold.

When I heard that I was finally going home, everyone was very excited.

The fourth child bought a lot of children's toys in Donglai during this time, what kind of drums, little puppets, and even bought short swords and ponies for his son who had not met.

Even Luo Cheng was busy buying a lot of things for his parents, his younger sister and his wife, buying some good medicinal materials for his father, mink skins for his mother, gold hairpins for his wife, and pearl necklaces for his little sister.

Hundreds of people set off in a mighty way, and each Zhangqiu veteran had a lot of things. Fortunately, they were also given a large number of slaves, each of whom carried a lot of things on his shoulders, and each of them had several horses.

Although Donglai is still far from Zhangqiu's hometown, the fourth child of Sao Bao and Du Fuwei have changed into brocade robes early. The brocade robe is made of the finest brocade and silk, and there is embroidery on it.

In Du Fuwei's words, since he went home, he had to return to his hometown in fine clothes, and he had to be dignified.

Du Fuwei, who was only a little more than sixteen years old, is now the same as Shixin, and has been promoted to the rank of general of the five-grade Yingyanglang, although he has no title, he is far from being able to compare with Luo Cheng, the twenty-year-old Duke of Qi, but the sixteen-year-old five-grade Yingyang, that is also amazing. His Du Fuwei's father used to be just an ordinary government soldier, and later disappeared and was used as a deserter, when he was a child, Du Fuwei's brothers and sisters followed their mother to suffer a lot, and now they are officials, of course, they have to go back to be majestic.

Only Heiye is more silent, for some reason, after returning from Liaodong, Siye is often silent, although now he has been promoted to the position of general from the fourth grade Huya, but he doesn't seem to be very happy, not like the fourth at all, knowing that after he was promoted to Huya, he almost jumped up with excitement, and he got drunk that night.

Even Zhao Gui was happy all day long.

"The third brother just misses a woman, go back and tell him a daughter-in-law and it'll be fine, don't worry, the fourth brother, I'm from here, and I know it very well." The fourth smiled at Luo Chengdao.

"Well, I want to help the third brother say goodbye, with the third brother's current official position and ability, how can I find a general's or a famous daughter of the scholar family."

The group rode on the way home, and felt that their steps were extremely relaxed.

There is no need to worry about enemies on all sides, there may be enemies to kill at any time, and there is no need to worry about food and grass, and there is no need to think about setting up camp. Walk leisurely and leisurely, and every time you pass through the city, you will enter the city early to rest.

Although Luo Cheng wanted to keep a low profile and return to his hometown for the New Year first, how could he be low-key with his current identity.

He came all the way, and there were already officials along the way waiting, and some officials even sent many riders to Donglai to follow Luo Cheng and them all the way, reporting as they went, reporting Luo Cheng's location every day, for fear that the new Shangguan would pass by quietly.

After all, Luo Cheng is not only a war hero, the emperor's upstart, this one still has the privilege of inheriting the system and worshipping the title, and has the power to promote and degrade the local civil and military officials in Henan.

Many people only know that Luo Cheng is young and can fight, but they don't know what the temper of this upstart is.

Every time he went to a city, there were local officials who prepared a resting house, prepared a reception banquet, and sent each other when he came, and Luo Cheng was also a little annoyed.

But although he repeatedly reiterated that he should not do this, he still did the same when he went to the next place.

Even Zhang Xutuo persuaded Luo Cheng, everyone is like this, if you are too exceptional, you will make everyone at a loss, and think that you have done something wrong, and then you will be panicked, and it is not good.

So, in the end, Luo Cheng had no choice but to give up.

Eating and eating can be dealt with, but what makes Luo Cheng most unhappy is that everywhere he goes, in addition to the officials greeting and sending him off, there are also many local nobles and powerful people who also have to come to flatter him. The most annoying thing is that many guys are very shameless, seeing that Luo Cheng and these upstarts are very young, so they have to find a way to get married.

Some people only euphemistically propose marriage, such as knowing that the third child did not marry a wife, so many people pushed out their school-age daughters and wanted to give them to the third child. But some people are more direct, for example, some people will secretly send their daughter into their collapsed room to get raw rice to cook.

There are some who are even more shameless, and even directly take out the beautiful concubines in the family to entertain Luo Cheng and them, and some want to give the concubines directly to Luo Cheng and them.

Luo Cheng basically rejected these people, not that he was not close to women, but that these people were too direct, and the power and sex transactions they engaged in were just as unappetizing.

Besides, Luo Ben himself still has something to do, and he still doesn't know how to explain the affairs of Yan Niangzi and Li Sanniang to Shan Binbin, how dare he mess around again on this road.

The fourth child likes this very much, but with Luo Cheng in front, he is not too messy, the daughter of the noble family of the scholar family does not dare to accept it, but he will secretly enjoy the concubines sent by some people, but he does not dare to take it away.

There are also many people who want to curry favor with Zhang Xutuo and send him concubines and prostitutes or something, but unfortunately Zhang Xutuo is really not close to women.

"I see you old brothers, I am very in awe of you." On the way, Zhang Xutuo smiled and said to Luo Chengdao.

"Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and I can't stop them all, I can only take care of myself, as for their fear of me, in fact, they still have some prestige."

"Actually, I heard some news, the emperor originally wanted to summon you to the Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County, and he also planned to make you Zuo Yiwei's pro-mansion general, and even more reused. However, there are many people around the Emperor who do not want you to go to the Emperor's side, and they are doing everything they can to stop you. ”

Zhang Xutuo seemed to say to Luo Cheng casually, "Do you know why? ”

"It's not surprising that I'm too different, so I wasn't accepted by them, and they even thought I was climbing too fast and was already threatening them, so they squeezed me out together and suppressed me. It doesn't matter, after all, I'm not from the family of the twelve generals of their Eight Pillars Country, even those old Guanlong nobles are not the same as each other all day long? ”

"You are so young, but you can see through this, you are indeed mature. Let me tell you another piece of news, Yuwen Shu is about to make a comeback, and Lai Hu'er will soon resume his official position, but Yu Zhongwen may have to be a scapegoat and bear the main responsibility for the defeat of Liaodong. ”

This greatly surprised Luo Cheng.

"Yu Zhongwen should have merit, why in the end, Yuwen Shu came to protect his children and came back without guilt, but he had to be convicted of Zhongwen's crime?"

"Because Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er are both the emperor's henchmen, but Yu Zhongwen is not, after Yu Zhongwen is still the Eight Pillars State, the emperor has always been very wary of these gate valves, and now he has the opportunity to suppress the Yu family, why not the emperor?"

Luo Cheng was very unhappy when he heard it, this time he was in Liao, Yuwen Shu came to protect his son very dereliction of duty, Yu Zhongwen should only have merit and no fault, but in the end, the board only fell on Yu Zhongwen's head. The emperor's behavior like this is really chilling.
