851 Good things come and go
An Lushan and An Sishun are still a small person, for Zheng Peng, they are a good seed, but they still lack the soil for growth, let them experience it first, let them hone it first.
An Lushan and An Sishun were very satisfied with Cui Er's arrangement, they were originally people who did not eat three meals, that is, they worked for others and made people dislike being Turkic, and now they have changed, one can take care of the restaurant, the other can take care of the ranch, it is simply great news, where there is an opinion, while expressing loyalty, he promised again and again, and then took office under Cui Er's arrangement.
In fact, it was to help Huang San get started.
After sending the An Lushan brothers to Huang San, Zheng Peng also became idle, taking advantage of the rare vacation, except for occasionally going to inspect the business, that is, to accompany Lu Shu and Yilin Xun'er to walk around and enjoy life.
The war in Tubo seems to be very smooth, but in fact there are many dangers, you must know that the lone army is deep, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there are a few times when he almost died, but fortunately his subordinates desperately rescued each other, especially when he was buried in the ground, Zheng Peng really thought that he was going to die, but fortunately escaped death at the last moment, which made Zheng Peng cherish the life in front of him even more.
Don't care about anything, how happy you are, live in a comfortable house, and be with the people you like, this is Zheng Peng's happiest New Year.
The atmosphere of the New Year is good, and the good news continues, first of all, the imperial court decided to set up the four major Zhichong Mansions of Dabolu, Luoqicheng, Doma and Motuo in Tubo, as an important contributor to the destruction of Tubo, Guo Ziyi and Cui Xiyi respectively served as the Zhichong Governor of Luoqicheng Zhichong Mansion and Doma Zhichong Mansion, and they were barely considered to be one of the candidates, for the two, this adventure was worth it.
As the pawns of the battle, the Qarluq clan fought the most hard battles and suffered the greatest casualties, and in the end they were punished for their crimes, not only did they not take any action for the past, but they were also sent back on the spot, and in addition to capturing a large number of cattle and goods, they were also exempted from ten years of forced labor, so to speak, and they got the result he wanted.
The happiest is Zheng Pengyuan's parents in Yuancheng, because Zheng Peng's performance in the battle of Tubo was extremely good, as parents, Zheng Yuan's family and Zheng Wang's family were also promoted: Zheng Yuan's family was named the male of the founding county, with 300 households and 28 households; I heard that the two were so excited that they hugged each other and slept in love, and wore the official uniform rewarded by the imperial court every day during the New Year, and took the trouble to walk back and forth in the most prosperous street market in Yuancheng, accepting the congratulations of the villagers.
Happy times always pass very quickly, and before you know it, in mid-February, Li Longji summoned Zheng Peng in the imperial study.
After some etiquette, Zheng Peng said with some curiosity: "I don't know what the emperor has to summon Weichen?" ”
Hearing that Li Longji summoned him, Zheng Peng's heart was a little resistant, and he felt like he was being caught.
Li Longji shook his head when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Zheng Aiqing, how are you doing these days?" ”
Enlightenment is a good thing, but unfortunately Zheng Peng didn't, other people's officials completed their tasks and returned to Beijing, waiting and looking forward to taking office in a new post every day, for fear that Li Longji would forget him, and he would find a way to play and take the initiative to ask for a job, and Zheng Peng was good, as soon as he returned to Chang'an, he was like a horse that had taken off the reins, and he didn't know where to go.
After taking a vacation for two months, I didn't see him take the initiative to ask for help, as if he had forgotten that he was a court official.
Zheng Peng felt a stirring in his heart, heard the dissatisfaction in Li Longji's tone, pretended not to understand, and said with a grateful face: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, I finally lived a few days in peace, and I have been recuperating at home recently, and I can't go to the palace to listen to the emperor's teachings, and ask the emperor to forgive me." ”
An old problem again? Li Longji looked at Zheng Peng, who was strong and red-faced, with a defeated expression.
To be honest, if it weren't for Zheng Peng being the lucky general of the Tang Dynasty and making so many contributions, Li Longji really wanted to make people smoke that ruddy face for half an hour before relieving his anger.
Zheng Peng is good, a young man in his twenties, either because he is not mentally good or has old problems, and he wants to retire at a young age, and Li Longji doesn't know what to say about this unmotivated guy.
There were only three people in the imperial study: Li Longji, Gao Lishi and Zheng Peng, Gao Lishi saw Li Longji's expression, coughed dryly, and said: "General Zheng, you have been back to Chang'an to rest for so long, and you all said that it is time to do something serious about the food king's worries." ”
"Father-in-law Gao, the emperor promised to let me rest for two months, this holiday has not been taken yet, and when the holiday is over, I must try to think about what I can do for the emperor."
Gao Lishi said with a straight face: "Calculating the time, it is now the middle of February, and the two-month vacation has ended." ”
"Won't it?" Zheng Peng was a little surprised and said: "Father-in-law Gao, isn't it, the seven-day holiday of the winter solstice, the seven-day holiday of Yuanzheng, and the three-day holiday of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, even if you don't count the ten-month holiday, there is also more than half a month's vacation, these holidays can't be counted in the two-month vacation, right?" ”
The welfare of officials in the Tang Dynasty was very good, in addition to doing nine days off and one ten-month holiday, the holidays of various festivals added up to seventy-seven holidays, not including provincial family leave, "Tang Liudian" also stipulated that given family leave and sweeping leave, the length of the holiday is mainly determined by the distance from home, for example, parents are three thousand miles away, and the provincial holiday is thirty-five days in three years; Five hundred miles, fifteen days off for five years, and so on.
"Holidays can't be overlapped." Gao Lishi said lightly.
This can be regarded as a strong argument, Zheng Peng opened his mouth, and in the end he couldn't say anything.
Obviously, Gao Lishi's words are Li Longji's meaning, Li Longji is the son of the Tang Dynasty, his words are the code of the Tang Dynasty, his thoughts are the will of the Tang Dynasty, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he likes to be reasonable, if he doesn't like to be reasonable, no one can do anything about him.
It's useless to argue, if you provoke Li Longji and let yourself be assigned to a remote place in a fit of anger, it will not be good.
Seeing that Zheng Peng didn't argue, a hint of triumph flashed in Li Longji's eyes, and he turned to ask: "Zheng Aiqing, you are a hero of the Tang Dynasty, and you have not arranged a specific position since returning to Chang'an from Tubo, which department or position do you think is suitable for you?" ”
Zheng Peng was a general of Zhenxi when he was training in Xiaobolu, and after the success of the training, he was changed to the general of Zhengxi, and was fully responsible for the affairs of attacking Tubo, and now Tubo has been conquered, and the task of the general of Zhengxi is over.
Gao Lishi looked at Zheng Peng with a hint of envy and appreciation, Li Longji hinted that he couldn't understand anymore, almost let Zheng Peng pick an official to do it, as long as Zheng Peng's request was not excessive, he could go anywhere, the emperor's grace was mighty.
