Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Gradually, the powerlessness stretched to the end...

Guo Ye came from a grassroots background and climbed up from the bottom step by step. He was born with a fighting spirit different from ordinary people.

Seeing the ups and downs on the river, a surge of pride suddenly arose in my heart, and I shouted: "The front waves of the Yangtze River pushed the back waves, and the front waves died on the beach. Damn it, others fight their father, I fight myself. Fight my father." There will always be a day when your father dies, and when your father dies, it will be the day when I rise."

No way, after shouting, Guo Ye felt a lot more at ease again, and thought calmly, it is an innate advantage for others to fight for father, since we don't have this innate advantage, we have to rely on the day after tomorrow.

Immediately, he clenched his fists to cheer himself up secretly, and shouted: "Guo Ye, work hard and work hard, work hard, work hard, try to give your son a chance to fight for his father, and create a platform for your children and grandchildren to fight for their father. "

……

"Aw... let's get to the shore, lower the sails, slow down..."

On the river boat, the boatman's unique chant sounded again, slowly pulling Guo Ye's sight back to the shore of Longxi.

It was getting dark, but it was home.

Chapter 349 Changes in Three Years

After returning from Yizhou, Guo Ye no longer escaped, no longer flew, and lived a boring life of filial piety.

Time, one year old knows autumn;

Behavior, in-depth and concise.

As time went by, Guo Ye, the focal figure, gradually faded out of the public eye in Longxi County.

Just after a year, Cheng Erniu took his lovely wife Guo Xiaoman to say goodbye to his old lady and Mrs. Guo, and under Guo Ye's order, he led [-] white-robed cavalry back to Xichuan.

Two years,

three years,

Time flies, like a white horse passing through the gap, no one can grasp the traces of time, and everything related to Guo Ye has already changed.

Under the auspices of Guo Ye's brother-in-law Kang Bao, Xichuan Small Protectorate's Mansion frequently received good news.The [-] Xichuan Army that Guo Ye was concerned about, the big markets of the two countries, and the Guo's Racecourse were flourishing and on track.

Under the helm of Sun Mingyan, the Cao Gang has developed rapidly. Not only has it completely controlled the [-]-mile Minjiang River Basin, but its gang members and forces have spread all over the rivers and rivers in central Sichuan.

The name of the Cao Gang is well-known.

The old father-in-law, Kang Yueshan, had reached the age of becoming an official, so he submitted a letter to the Ministry of War to resign from the post of Yizhou Zhechong Captain, and told him to bring his wife and family to Longxi to take care of himself.

As for the post of Captain Zhechong of Yizhou, Qiu Heng, the old subordinate of Kang Yueshan, took over the post of Captain Guoyi.

Apparently, even though Kang Yueshan, a local snake, resigned from his post and returned to his hometown, he still indirectly controls the military power of Yizhou Prefecture, but it has only turned from the bright side to the dark side.

The unspoken rules in the officialdom and the army, let alone talk about it.

As for Guo Ye's rival, Lu Chengqing, the governor of Yizhou, who stayed in Yizhou for three years and made a lot of money from the checkpoint tax and silver sent by the Cao Gang. Which camp of the three departments actually received an official document from the Ministry of Officials last month, and was transferred back to Chang'an to take the post of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials.

Back then, he was expelled to Chang'an from the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, and was transferred back to Chang'an three years later to take the post of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials.

For Lu Chengqing's fortune, Guo Ye had never expected it.

But what he didn't expect was Lu Chengqing's son-in-law, Wu Kui, the old enemy of Yizhou County who had been ravaged by Guo Ye many times.

Ever since he was trampled by Guo Ye at the gate of the governor's mansion that time, and since Lu Chengqing concentrated on making money and no longer valued him, he has been depressed and frustrated.

Half a year ago, the old dog Wu Kui had a whim, thinking of going to the Bashu county government under the jurisdiction of Yizhou Prefecture to fish for some oil and water to beat the autumn wind, so he mobilized people and led people to take a boat to Bashu county.

Unexpectedly, due to bad luck, when returning by boat, there was a hurricane on the Minjiang River. The wind and waves swept the river, and even Wu Kuilian and his boat overturned and sank to the bottom of the river.

He died with him, and dozens of accompanying government servants.

The water of the Minjiang River is dangerous and rapid. It is not uncommon for river boats to collide with reefs and hurricanes to overturn the boat all the year round.So far, the governor's office in Yizhou has not found Wu Kui's body.

Lu Chengqing had already given up on Wu Kui, what's more, Wu Kui was dead and useless.Therefore, he gave up the idea of ​​sending manpower and material resources to search for the bones, and the matter was left alone.

I just wrote a note at random, mentioning that Wu Kui, the prime minister of Yizhou County, went out on business, was killed and martyred, and submitted it to the Ministry of Officials, which was done hastily.

How could things on the Minjiang River be hidden from the Cao Gang and Guo Ye's eyes? Whether Wu Kui's death was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

Perhaps, only Sun Mingyan and Guo Ye, the helmsmen of the Cao Gang, knew it in their hearts.

As for Leng Tianlin, the magistrate of Longxi County, because of Guo Ye's help and Cao Gang's assistance, he is like a fish in water in Longxi County, with good political achievements and a good reputation as an official.

The Ministry of Officials conducts performance appraisals for officials every year, and Leng Tianlin has received an excellent evaluation from the Ministry of Officials for three consecutive years.

Guo Ye secretly speculated that as long as Leng Tianlin got another excellent evaluation from the official department, he would probably be recalled to Chang'an next year and be reused by the official department.

Maybe it will stay in Chang'an, or maybe it will be sent to the state capital.

……

Today's Fushun Lane is truly the most prosperous place in Longxi County.

In Fushun Lane, besides the mansion of Guo Ye Guo Xiaoge, a celebrity in Longxi, the mansion of Wu Maocai, the richest man in Longxi, and the mansion of Kang Yueshan, the former captain of Zhechong in Yizhou.

These three families were singled out, and they were all big families with hard-to-remember surnames in Longxi County.

What's more, these three families are all connected by in-laws, and they all act as a group.In Longxi County, and even in the whole of Yizhou, it is a remarkable force.

Because of these three families, Fushun Lane became the number one geomantic treasure in Longxi County, and many prominent families in Longxi moved to Fushun Lane or around Fushun Lane.

For a while, in the area centered on Fushun Lane, the price of land and housing prices rose sharply. Over time, the slogan "Luoyang paper is expensive, but it is hardly more expensive than Longxi Fushun Lane" was spread in the city.

……

……

On this day, there are still three days before Ding You's three years of filial piety.

Guo Ye is strolling in the small courtyard where his study is located. Now he is nearly twenty years old, and he has reached the age of weak crown.

Although the heroic spirit is still there, the original immature cheeks have long since disappeared, replaced by maturity and stability, and in recent years, some old scholars have often been invited to teach him at home, which makes him a little more bookish.

He walked to a stone pier, sat down slowly, and murmured thoughtfully: "There are three days left, and it will be three years. Hey, time flies so fast!"

After all, there was a hint of sadness on the originally calm cheeks.

Because as long as the three-year period expires, he will leave Longxi and go to Chang'an to report to the Imperial College.

This feeling of nostalgia is exactly the nostalgia of being away from home.

After sighing, I sat alone on the stone pier, looking at the old shameful tree with withered stems and cracked bark everywhere, and a few withered yellow leaves falling down from time to time, and I became dazed.

After a while, the squad leader who had stayed in Longxi for three years came in with Zhao Jiuchou holding a letter, and shouted at him, "My lord, a letter from Chang'an!"
