  Chapter 1377 Bad news

  Qin Lang will not enfeoff in Luzon, which will cause Luzon to split and weaken, leading to civil strife and so on. Although Qin Lang gave territories and fiefdoms to the princes and retainers, these were not completely autonomous lands, and Luzon was still a whole as a whole.

  Luzon also implemented the system of prefectures, counties and townships, and the fiefdoms of the Qin family's children and vassals were just manor farms.

   As soon as the two of them returned to Cherry Square, they saw the Cui brothers and sisters coming to welcome them.

   "Sanlang."

  Ms. Cui came forward to meet Qin Lang as soon as she saw Qin Lang, and then wiped away tears.

  Qin Lang had a headache.

   Mrs. Cui.

   After talking for a long time, in fact, he came here for his son. When Qin Jun initiated Qin Wang, he called Qin Li and other five uncles, but Qin Xun was not called.

  After the event was completed, both Qin Li and Qin Gui were granted the title of Duke of the State, added a third rank of martial arts, and worshiped as a general. Even the other three brothers also won the Duke of the County, won the fourth-rank rank, worshiped the general of Zhonglang, and held real power in their hands.

   "Do you think Da Lang doesn't regard his fifth uncle as his own family? He always says he fights father and son soldiers, and fights as a brother. Why does he leave his uncle aside at this critical moment?"

  Qin Jun smiled, but ignored him. He didn't like Qin Xun, an uncle, and he was a complete waste.

  Besides being arty and spending money, the only specialty left is being able to have children.

  Since the early years of Kaiyuan, he has been a third-rank Guangluqing, and then he has not made any achievements in the court for more than ten years.

   To be capable but not capable, to take responsibility but not to take responsibility, such a person does not accomplish enough, and more than fails, Qin Jun's head is broken, so he put his head on his waistband and called him during the mutiny.

  Ms. Cui dragged Qin Lang to talk for a long time, and she also talked about Qin Qiong who had passed away for more than 20 years. Anyway, it means that the two of them have no one to take care of them now.

  Qin Lang looked at Qin Xun who shrank to the side and didn't dare to come forward. He was almost fifty years old, so he was ashamed to say what you said about orphans and widows.

"Sanlang, you see that your Dalang has ascended to the sky in one step. With his determinate strategy and support, he is now the king of Wu'an County, and he is also a servant in the court and holds several important positions. He has power in the court and the public. It’s Shiro and his brothers, now they are either the Duke of the State or the Duke of the County, the General or the General of Zhonglang, look at your fifth younger brother, you can’t treat one more favorably than another, after all, they are all brothers of the same father.”

   "After all, your fifth younger brother is a direct descendant, he is the heir to the clan."

  Qin Lang heard that the Cui family wanted to give back to his son the title of Duke of Qi and the title of Songzhou Mansion.

When the Supreme Emperor was still the emperor, he wanted to mess with Qin Lang, so he started with the sisters of the Qin family, abolished the second concubine as a commoner, and abolished Li Xian and other princes from the throne. Madam Gaoming is all **** up.

However, when Li Yin saw that Qin Lang was too tough, he couldn't handle it for a while, so he temporarily compromised and restored the Qin family's official titles, etc., but Qin Xun only restored a county duke, and did not give him the duke of Qi and Songzhou prefecture. But it was given to Qin Jun.

  Before being suppressed, Cui did not dare to speak out.

Now that the dynasties have changed, Mrs. Cui watched the Qin family rise up, their daughters became empress dowagers, and their granddaughters also became empresses. Cui Dunli also returned to the imperial court and became a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

  Cui Shi himself was ordered by Mrs. Guo again.

  Now he is thinking of taking back the dukedom and fiefdom of Qi for his son.

The reason is, of course, the Duke of Qi was earned by Qin Qiong. The emperor gave it to Qin Jun earlier. Qin Jun is the grandson of Qin Lang, and Qin Lang has made great achievements. She, Cui, dare not object, but now Qin Jun is not the king of the county. Well, then the dukedom of Qi can no longer be transferred to Qin Jun's son.

  Qin Lang hated Cui, and also hated Qin Xun.

However, what they said was not entirely unreasonable. The title Qin Qiong earned so hard should naturally be passed on to the eldest son, and there is no reason to pass it on to the grandson. Li Yin also intentionally disgusted the Qin family before, but now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, this It's also really not good-looking.

  In the eyes of outsiders, it was thought that the Qin family was fighting among themselves, and that Qin Lang was deliberately bullying his first-born brother, taking his brother's title and giving it to his **** son.

"Don't worry, big lady. Da Lang also mentioned this matter to me. He said that he was not the one who fought for the title of the family. It was bestowed by the emperor and he couldn't refuse it. Now it should be returned to the original owner. I will write a letter to the saint and ask for it The fifth younger brother restores the title of Duke of Qi and the world fiefdom of Songzhou Prefecture."

   "Then thank you Sanlang, I knew that Sanlang would not ignore it." When Cui heard that Qin Lang agreed so happily, she was extremely happy.

   "Mistress, I still have a small condition."

  Qin Lang said.

  Cui was stunned.

   "Sanlang let's talk."

"The post of governor of Songzhou is a title earned by my grandfather who worked hard for half his life. At that time, my grandfather guarded and managed Songzhou for many years and spent a lot of hard work. Goro was still young when he took the title, but now it has passed two years. It’s been more than ten years, Songzhou Mansion can’t just leave it alone.”

   "I don't think the fifth younger brother has any intention of being an official, so after this time, he should go to Songzhou. Don't waste all the hard work that Grandpa did at the beginning."

  Cui was stunned, she didn't expect Qin Lang to raise this condition.

   "Songzhou can send someone to take care of it. Goro is very old, just now the new king is on the throne, and Goro is also the uncle of the country. He should be a saint to assist the government..."

  Qin Lang interrupted her, "Don't tell me what Wulang has been like in Beijing all these years? Don't tell me that Mrs. Wulang is still going to Songzhou. If Mrs. Wu doesn't want to go to Songzhou, she can stay in Luoyang and take care of your nephews."

   "Can't you not go?"

   "Of course it's okay if you don't want to go, just don't want this world title and title."

  Cui Shi was angry, but she didn't dare to offend Qin Lang. This **** is now an existence she dare not look up to, let alone offend.

  So I had to look at my brother Cui Dunli.

  Cui Dunli returned to the court this time, and was changed to a scholar of the Imperial Academy and Zhizhi.

But when facing Qin Lang, he just said politely, "Sanlang, Wulang is also your brother, and he has never left the capital to do business outside. I'm afraid it will be difficult to adapt to the frontiers of Songzhou. Besides, this Songzhou The governor of the state has no real power now, and it is just a display after it has passed, so why bother to pass."

   "Mr. Cui, this is a family matter of our Qin family." Qin Lang said a little bluntly.

Cui Dunli shut up knowingly, although he is also Qin Lang's uncle, even if he is not close, but after all, his sister is the wife of the Qin family, but after all, it is not the ninth year of Wu De, when he dared to scold Qin in front of Qin Qiong Lang is a piece of mud that can't support the wall, a piece of dog meat that can't stand on the stage.

   But now he dare not.

  Qin Lang was not the humble son of a concubine back then, he was the elder of the four dynasties, and the emperor would respectfully call him Shangfu.

  The Cui family also had to rely on the Qin family.

  Qin Xun stood there, pouting, "If you don't want a title, you don't want it, who cares."

"Shut up!"

   Cui shouted angrily.

  The Cui family, who is nearly seventy years old, has been in charge of the family for many years, and the power of the headed wife immediately overwhelmed Qin Xun.

   "You pack up your things tomorrow and go to Songzhou. Take those concubines who gave birth to maids and concubines with you, and leave the grandchildren to me."

"Mother!"

   "Shut up." Cui scolded angrily, the title of Duke of Qi and the title of governor of Songzhou can be discarded if they are said to be discarded? This is the family property left by her husband's hard work, which is far more valuable than those gold and silver coins, yet my son doesn't even know what is good and what is wrong.

  The son is abolished, but in the future, the title can still be given to the grandson or great-grandson.

   With the title of Duke of the State and World Governor, wouldn’t it be hundreds or thousands of times better to be an official in the future than others?

  Nowadays, if there is no special meritorious service, how can there be a chance to easily seal the title of duke of the country, or such a world title?

  The governor of Songzhou that Qin Qiong earned back then is only qualified for the prince of the clan.

  Qin Xun was scolded and bowed his head. He is nearly fifty years old and extremely cowardly.

   "The matter is settled in this way, and Lao Sanlang has to worry about it." Cui said to Qin Lang.

"Okay, but I have something to say first, Goro don't give up halfway when the time comes, this matter will not be repeated, if Goro can't bear hardships and refuses to stay in Songzhou, then since I can ask him to be knighted today, I can also do it in the future Ask the saint to take back this title."

   "Although Grandpa only has Wulang as his legitimate son, he doesn't have only one son." Qin Lang said very bluntly.

  Cui Shi was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to refute. She left unhappy and called Qin Xun away.

  Cui Dunli did not leave.

  This time, to be able to return to the court and re-enter the center, Cui Dunli knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold, he had to build a good relationship with Qin Lang and his son.

   "Goro has indeed been a bit too slutty these years, hey."

  Qin Lang is not interested in talking more about Qin Xun. He was born with a golden key in his mouth and has great innate advantages, but in the end he just played a good hand of cards and got rotten.

  Besides being a prodigal, I know nothing.

  If Qin Qiong hadn't left behind a rich enough family business, and Qin Lang's constant patronage over the years, Duke Qi's mansion would have been bankrupted by him long ago.

A top dandy who squanders at least 100,000 pennies every year, Qin Lang sometimes admires his squandering ability. For ordinary people, it is really not easy for him to spend 273,000 copper coins every day. After all, it is only about weight Just over 1,600 catties.

  It is not difficult to spend two hundred and seventy-three pens a day, but it is not easy to spend at least this amount every day.

   And Qin Xun is like this every day, every month, and every year. Qin Qiong has been dead for more than 20 years, and the family defeated by Qin Xun has no less than three million crowns.

   Spend money like water, spend a lot of money.

Raising kabuki and dancers, raising polo teams, raising sumo wrestling teams, raising music classes, anyway, what kind of stuff costs money, what does he play, hunting with eagles and dogs are all ordinary, dozens of concubines, beautiful maidservants There are countless servants, including those raised in various manors and villas, which add up to more than a thousand.

   Even raised many handsome book boys.

  Building manors, villas, and gardens everywhere, buying them if they like it, and wanting it if they like it, and holding garden parties and banquets at every turn.

   Such a person, the capital of course has a good name, who doesn't like it.

  Qin Lang didn't want to blame too much for this kind of thing, who made the family rich, the Cui family was an expert at pickpocketing money, so Qin Xun was rich and prodigal.

  In these years, the manor villas Qin Xun bought, the gardens and villas he built, and even the music clubs and teams he raised are actually quite valuable, and some of them have even increased in value.

Qin Lang wanted to kick him to Songzhou, not because he thought he was spending too much money, but because he felt that this person had no brains, was too easy to coax, and was too easy to deceive. Qin Lang was worried that Qin Xun would stay in Luoyang, especially under the current situation. Qin Xun could easily become a breakthrough point for the Qin family.

  In case someone with a heart uses him to make trouble, it is a hidden danger.

  The Qin family is in the right place now, who knows if Qin Xun will mess up things, Qin Lang doesn't want to wipe his **** all the time.

  Cui Dunli wanted to get close to Qin Lang, his nephew, but couldn't find anything to say, so he was a little awkward sitting there.

   Fortunately, footsteps were heard outside, and Qin Lang's attendants came in to break the awkward atmosphere.

   "Sanlang, the envoy from the palace, Xuan Sanlang enters the palace."

  Qin Lang looked at the sky outside. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there will be a Lantern Festival in Luoyang City that lasts for half a month. Jin Wu couldn't help it.

  But after all, it was too late when the palace banquet came back.

  At a time like this, how come the palace still calls.

  Qin Lang saw the emissary from the palace, it was Gao Fu, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he directly explained the situation when he met.

"The Western Regions just came back with urgent military news. The Western Regions are in complete chaos. The Western Turks, the Big Cannibals, the Tocharians, and the Zhaowu Sogdians all rebelled. Marshal Guo Xiaoke died in battle. The Anxi Army was defeated and lost troops. Serious, the situation in the Western Regions is critical, the sage turned around in a hurry after hearing this, and specially ordered the slaves to invite the grand master and the county king to enter the palace to make a show."

  Guo Xiaoke died.

   This news is indeed surprising enough.

Since the time of Zhenguan, Guo Xiaoke has been stationed in the Western Regions. Historically, Guo Xiaoke died in the battle against Qiuci, but in this time and space, both Yanqi and Qiuci were easily defeated by the Tang Dynasty. Changzhen Western Regions.

   Not long ago, Li Yin also decided to let the Western Regions send troops to attack the Xindu River Basin, and then let Guo Xiaoke sit in the Dawan Army Town to coordinate the overall situation.

  Who knew, this bad news actually came now.

Qin Lang asked a few words, Gao Fu didn't know much about the situation, he only knew that the Great Food Army suddenly marched eastward and attacked Mulu. On the way, he was ambushed by the Tuqishi people, and finally repelled the Tuqishi people. As a result, the Sogdians behind Guo Xiaoke rebelled and blocked the retreat.

The Turkic Yehu of Tocharian led the Tucharian people to lead the big cannibals to kill them. Guo Xiaoke was forced to fight in the wilderness, with no danger to rely on, and the food and grass were not enough. Ge Luolu cavalry ambushed and intercepted.

When Guo Xiaoke sent troops from Dawan Army Town, there were originally only 3,000 Tang troops, and the rest were 5,000 Zhaowu Sogdians. All the cavalry of the Tang Army in Qiandawan Army Town were killed in battle to the west of Congling.

  Guo Xiaoke refused to escape alone, held the army flag in his hand, and died in a fierce battle. His eldest son died in the battle.

The people of Geluolu cut off the heads of Guo Xiaoke and his eldest son Guo Daizhao, held their long spears, and surrounded the Dawan army with Tuqishi, Zhaowu Sogdians, the advance army of Dashi, and the Tocharian army. Town, showing off the heads of Guo's father and son, and threatening thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty in the city to persuade them to surrender!
