Zhang Chao only worked for two days before going home. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
According to the system, officials are entitled to nine days of leave for marriage, and relatives are also given one to five days of leave for marriage, depending on the distance. When my father got married, Zhang Chao happened to be on vacation.
Now that Zhang Chao's own wedding date has arrived, of course, he unceremoniously officially asked for marriage leave to go home. Nine days off, or paid leave, the treatment of being an official is still good.
As for the errand for the construction of the workshop, he asked the recorder of the overseer to dig the foundation first. As for the rest, I'll talk about it when he comes back after he gets married.
The Zhang family attaches great importance to Zhang Chao's marriage, and he married a woman with five surnames.
Daddy has been red every day these days, refreshed, and rejuvenated the second spring.
"It must be done in a big way, it must be lively, and there must be no less pomp and circumstance, otherwise it will make people see jokes."
Zhang Chao sat on the spring and autumn chair next to the coffee table, and found a very comfortable position to lie down, and the floor heating in the house is good, so he doesn't have to stay on the kang all day. The spring and autumn chairs made by the carpenters according to his requirements are very good, what a good solid wood, put it in the back, how can it be tens of thousands of sets.
"It's a pity that your stepfather, they haven't come back yet." Daddy has some regrets. If Qin Qiong and the other Zhang Chao's father-in-law and uncles are in Beijing, they will definitely be able to make the Zhang family not lose to the woman's family in terms of momentum.
"Dad, stepfather, they are already on their way back, and they will definitely be able to catch the wedding." Zhang Chaodao.
Li Shimin took the elite of Guanzhong, swept Hebei as soon as he made a move, captured Liu Heimin, and also surrendered the soldiers of the Hebei rebels. Gao Kaidao in Beiping saw that the situation was not right, and immediately withdrew from Yuguan, that is, outside Shanhaiguan, and hugged his Turkic father's thigh.
Li Shimin was about to go north, but Li Yuan gave Li Shimin a decree.
Li Yuan asked Li Shimin to return to the dynasty, and then sent the Qi king Yuanji to command the army to conquer the rebel Liu Heimin in Shandong, as for the high opening of Hebei, Li Yuan sent his nephew Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, to serve as the governor of Youzhou, and ordered Li Yi, the king of Yan, and the general Peng Guogong Wang Junkuo to assist in guarding Beiping in Youzhou.
This will came out, in fact, Zhang Chao also felt very strange. But when you think about it, it's normal. After this year's Central Plains War, Li Shimin was already difficult to seal, and finally had to get a Tiance general to come out, and he also added various seals, and Li Shimin reached the peak.
It is precisely because Li Shimin's meritorious service is too high that Li Yuan chose Li Shentong and Li Xiaochang when Liu Heimin began to rebel this year. Later, because they were all defeated, they really had no choice but to choose Li Shimin to come forward.
Li Shimin really lived up to his expectations, and he won as soon as he made a move, and he won cleanly and beautifully. But Li Yuan is also worried, the prince is not Li Shimin but Li Jiancheng. If King Qin continues to make meritorious contributions like this, there will be trouble in the future.
In addition, the crown prince also felt the threat of Li Shimin early, and as soon as he saw that the battle had been won in front of him, he immediately spoke in front of Li Yuan. Then there was this will, let Yuanji go to crusade against Shandong, and let Li Ying guard Youzhou.
Li Ying is guarding Youzhou, not crusading against Gao Kaidao outside the Guan. The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks was rather peculiar, with both cooperation and defense. At the beginning, the Li family borrowed troops from the Turks and formed an alliance with the Turks to stabilize their base camp in Hedong. And now that the Li family is finally going to unify the world, the Turks are not very satisfied with the status quo of the Li family's dominance. They also began to make small moves often, crossing the lower realm from time to time to loot at the border.
Even these forces that have fought with the Li family in the north in recent years, such as Liu Wuzhou, Liu Heimin, Gao Kaidao, etc., are actually supported by the Turks.
The Li family was very dissatisfied with this, but it was limited to strength, and they didn't dare to start a war with the Turks openly, so Gao Kaidao withdrew from the pass, and Li Yuan sent Li Yuan to guard Youzhou and didn't let him chase him out.
In fact, Li Shimin was transferred back to Beijing, and in fact, he also had concerns in this regard, in case Li Shimin led his troops to kill outside the Guan, it would not be good to attract direct interference from the Turks, or even turn the other cheek in the conflict.
When Li Shimin returned to Beijing, a large number of generals also returned to the court, and even most of the government soldiers who went out to Guanzhong had to return.
In some ways, Li Shimin was suppressed, and Li Yuanji also came to pick peaches. After all, with Li Shimin's current favorable situation, there is no need to make any effort to go north to recover Beiping, Liaoxi and other places.
But now the situation is just right, and the imperial court has made a decree, and Li Yuanji has come to pick peaches, so Li Shimin only gets half of the credit for quelling the rebellion. Even only one-third of the credit, he gnawed the hard bones, but the meat was eaten by Li Yuanji.
"They're all back?"
"Uncle Li, Duke of Cao Guo, will not come back, and the imperial court will crown him as the governor of Henan and follow the king of Qi to crusade against Xu Yuanlang."
Li Shiji is quite interesting, although he is very close to the King of Qin now, and he also went with Li Shimin to conquer Liu Heimin last time, but Zhang Chao observed when he was in Hebei, and he saw that Li Shiji was quite shrewd, and he has always maintained a neutral attitude in the dispute between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince that has now shown signs.
Li Shimin tried very hard to win over Li Shiji, but he did not fall into Li Shimin's side. Such an attitude really made Li Shimin very unhappy, but from Li Shiji's point of view, he was not from the Qin Palace, and he had always been stationed in Hebei.
He was not willing to get too involved between the prince and the king of Qin, and even Zhang Chao felt that Li Shiji actually maintained a good relationship with Li Shimin in the open, but secretly preferred to stand on Li Jiancheng's side, after all, Li Jiancheng was the prince.
Regarding Li Shiji's attitude, Zhang Chao didn't say anything, and it wasn't his turn to say anything. Since ancient times, standing in line is the most important thing, and standing in the wrong team will end up quite miserable. Li Shiji didn't want to take sides, and there was nothing wrong with that.
Li Shiji is different from Qin Qiong, these generals, he is equivalent to Li Yi, King of Yan, Li Fuwei, King of Wu, Li Daen, King of Dingxiang, and Gao Kaidao, the former King of Beiping.
Li Shiji was added the title of Henan Governor by the imperial court to assist Li Yuanji in his conquest of Xu Yuanlang, and it can also be seen that in fact, the imperial court did not put Li Shiji on Li Shimin's side. From the governor of Lizhou to the governor of Henan, Li Shiji can be regarded as being promoted because of his meritorious service to quelling the rebellion in Hebei.
"Father-in-law, they are estimated to be in Beijing tomorrow."
Li Shiji didn't come back, but Qin Qiong, the generals under Li Shimin, was all recalled. Fortunately, Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion was originally set up in Luoyang, and he still had the post of Shangshu Ling, the Daxing of Eastern Shaanxi Province, so Li Shimin still controlled the base camp of Luoyang, and when he returned to Beijing, he was still guarded by Qu Tutong, the secretary of the Tai Military Department of Daxing Tai in Eastern Shaanxi, and Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, who had a good relationship with him, was the governor of Luozhou.
Marriage is a big deal, and the marriage of Zhang Chao and Cui's daughter is of course a big event.
Zhang Chao himself actually thinks that it doesn't matter if the wedding is pompous or not, but he has to think about it for Thirteen Niang. Originally, the five surnamed concubines married into an ordinary poor family, which is already a very special situation, even if Cui Shanfu is only a side branch of the down-and-out Cui family, but there are three big characters of Qinghe Cui on the top of his head.
If the wedding is simple, it is not himself who is cold, but Thirteen Niang.
Therefore, my father said that he wanted to do a big job, and Zhang Chao also said that he would do a big job.
is not afraid to spend money, in order to give the new daughter-in-law face, the father feels that it is worth spending more money.
And with Qin Qiongbao and others coming to attend the wedding, Dad felt that the Zhang family would have face by then.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, on the day of eating eight-treasure porridge, the people of the Cui family came to shop the house.
The Cui family was very perfunctory about Cui Sanniang's marriage, and the woman invited was actually Cui Cong's wife.
The Cui family really didn't buy a dowry for Thirteen Niang, and they didn't even give anyone. It was Thirteen Niang herself who came forward and asked Cui Cong to call a group of people from all over the Zhuangzi shops to send her dowry to the Zhang family.
Thirteen Niang took the dowry left by her mother, and the dowry was still very rich. There are five granges, seven or eight shops, and three hundred taels of gold that have been placed in Zhang Chaona early, as well as many gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, etc.
Of course, it is impossible for all these things to come to the Zhang family.
The gifts of the shop house are separately purchased, from silk cloth to porcelain, gold and silver, to eating chariots and horses, etc., each of which is prepared with eight picks, and copper coins are pulled by eight carts.
The long procession on the streets of Chang'an City has attracted many people's amazement.
"Who's marrying a daughter, such a pomp!"
"Qinghe Cui's daughter is married."
"Oh, isn't that Cui Shanfu who sold his marriage?"
Some people immediately said that Cui Shanfu sold his marriage and grew up early, and even became the laughing stock of many noble and wealthy families. It is not uncommon for many branches of wealthy families in Shandong to live as well as before, and to maintain their status and economy by selling marriages. But Cui Shanfu can be regarded as the main branch of Qinghe Cui, not to mention the marriage, he was actually sold to a cold family.
I really don't even want a little face.
Of course, there are also some down-and-out Shandong scholars who can't eat grapes in secret and say that grapes are sour, damn it, Cui Shanfu sold a good marriage, 1,000 taels of gold, 8 million. This is the first person to sell marriage, who sold it for so much money?
What's more, he sold his marriage to the Zhang family, and he also had a relationship with a vote of Shandong military upstarts, and his son-in-law was still Uncle Qin's righteous son.
"Didn't I hear that the Cui family didn't buy a dowry for this daughter, why did you see such a big show today?"
"Yes, I also heard a few days ago that Cui Shanfu and his wife still want to take the dowry of their ex-wife Zheng and not give it to these thirteen mothers."
"I heard that the Zheng family came forward, so the Cui family gave the dowry of Zheng Niangzi to these thirteen niangs. But the others refuse to publish another article, what you see now is the original Zheng Niangzi's dowry. ”
"Phew, this Cui Shanfu is really shameless, he sold his marriage for eight million, and he still refused to buy a dowry for his daughter."
"Who says it's not, it's just scum, my Shandong Shi clan has such a character, it's simply ruining the reputation of the Shandong Shi clan!" (To be continued.) )
