Chapter 923: Ten Thousand Sorrows


Later, Sang Yu didn't know how he got home.

Sang Yu came out of the palace city and was constantly afraid and afraid, thinking that he must have thought about something, but he couldn't remember it at all when he returned to God.

The old Chang'an was also demolished, and the new Chang'an stood tall with a new look.

For example, Miyagi is the most noble area, and then there are high-ranking officials, eunuchs, rich people, commoners, and poor people.

The huge Chang'an City also needs to be specially designated as a bazaar, which is generally divided into the west and south of the city according to tradition.

The western part of a city is generally a large trading area, which is a concentration of wholesalers in modern terms, and in the current era, there is no livestock trading, and the environment is really not much better.

The south of the city is home to a concentration of daily necessities stores, also known as retail markets.

Chang'an has a population of more than one million, and every day the food of each household is bought and sold in large quantities, not to mention other goods.

The east of the city is generally a residential area for dignitaries and nobles, and it will also be the area with the best environment, the most common is the wall of a certain mansion, the length is generally not less than a kilometer, and even the length of the wall is more than three or four kilometers.

"The Head of the House Returns Home" When the elder of the family saw Sang Yu's carriage, he shouted, and the servants standing on both sides of the courtyard in front of the door immediately saluted, and some of the clansmen who were notified to come to greet him also saluted.

Sang Yu walked out of the carriage expressionlessly and walked into the door without saying a word.

"Be careful" The elders must learn to observe words and colors, how can they not see that Sang Yu is in a bad mood, and warn the servants: "Don't make noise" Many of the servants still maintained the posture of saluting, but the position facing the family elders became the elders.

Liu Yan rarely interferes in civil affairs, but he has rigid requirements for officials, including the need to bring immediate relatives within five suits to Chang'an.

The so-called "within the five suits" is counting from the grandfather's generation to the great-great-grandson, and the very large number of soldiers is not impossible if it is enough to spread out the branches, and the members of a family's "within the five suits", the descendants and concubines are counted together, and it is not impossible to count as many as thousands.

Sang Yu's grandfather has passed away a long time ago, and there is no one in his grandfather's generation, there are many elders whose father is still alive, and there are even more people of the same generation, and if you count the children and nephews, there are fifty-seven direct members of the entire Sang clan.

"Zishen, you are" Sang Lu didn't go out to greet him just now, that is the etiquette that juniors and some unimportant family members should have, he is an uncle who has made great contributions to the family and does not need: "Why is it so soulless" The rules of the big family are a lot, after Sang Yu entered the door, the servant got the news and went home to report, unless the little characters of the Sang family at home really can't leave, otherwise they all come to the main gate to greet them, and the elders need to weigh themselves whether they welcome or not.

Sang Yu is one of the three princes, or a townsman, the area of the mansion is naturally not small, and the specifications are also suitable for the treatment.

"Fourth uncle."

Sang Yu is the contemporary head of the Sang family, although Sang Lu is an elder but not an elder of the family, even if Sang Yu respects Sang Lu, there is no reason to be polite.

It's a matter of family order.

"Is the fourth uncle going out" Sang Yu didn't keep his expressionless face anymore, and his smile was a little far-fetched: "If the fourth uncle is passing by the south of Nanshi, can you help Yu purchase some items?"

Sang Lu had to be stunned, what did the head of the family want to use, even if there was no one at home, he would not let the elders help, he really planned to go out, but he dispelled the idea: "The fourth uncle is just an activity."

Sang Yu smiled and nodded, bowed his hand and continued to walk forward.

Zishen should have come back from the palace Sang Lu looked at Sang Yu's back with a solemn expression: Something big happened In front of the Sang Mansion, because Sang Yu is not a martial marquis, naturally he can't put on a guard of honor with a blade, but there are still qualifications for a male and a female stone lion in front of the door.

The so-called guard of honor with blades is about the weapons of swords, guns, swords, and halberds, which generally use halberds as poles and carry flags and animal furs, tails, and feathers, and the style is slightly different from the scepter of the Son of Heaven.

The marquis, including Sang Yu, and the officials at the level of the Three Dukes and Nine Emperors, if they did not go out on business, there would definitely be honor guards on the left and right sides of the gate of their mansion to show that the master was at home.

Not just anyone can put a guard of honor in front of the door, and you can know what level it is by looking at what type of guard of honor it is, and you can also distinguish your resume.

The guard of honor placed in the Sang Mansion, among which there are several battle flags in which Sang Yu has personally participated, and the flag surface is a painting of the mountains and rivers in the place where the war broke out.

Those flags are Sang Yu's resume.

Wu Houte refers to the incumbent military generals, and Sang Yu's inqualification to pose as a guard of honor with a blade is only related to his current official position, not that he has not made military merits.

Sang Lu does not have an official position now, he once served as the governor of Ji in Shiqi Zhao State, and he also has the military position of General Zuo.

However, his military position as General Zuo is actually good-looking, and many people have the name of General Zuo, and it is really just a name, and there is not a single soldier at all.

When Jizhou was recovered by the Han army, the Sang clan made great efforts, among which Sang Lu played some roles in it, but because he didn't do anything angry and resentful when he was an official for Shi Hu, but his reputation was really not good, so he should be dormant for a while.

Sang Yu, who had walked a distance, stopped and calmed down.

He knew that he was really out of shape today, so much so that his thoughts were casually seen from his face.

What happened in Miyagi, or what he said when he came into contact with Liu Yan, only some guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead will be regarded as a show-off talking point, and those who know how to be measured know what it means to be silent.

What happened to Sang Yu today can be said to be the most dumb moment since following Liu Yan, not to mention that his uncle opened his mouth to ask, even his biological father should not reveal a word.

Because he was really depressed, Sang Yu could only reluctantly smile and remind Sang Lu not to go out if he didn't go out.

Sang Lu immediately understood.

After all, he is a person who has experienced officialdom, and he knows very well that if he asks some things without an answer, he can't ask again, that is, there is something important to do, and it will not involve the life and death of the Sang family, so today he decided to stay in the mansion.

Sang Yu, who stopped, stood in the vestibule and looked at the mansion, which was full of houses and pavilions, and gardens everywhere, without looking at the obvious golden brilliance, and some only showed the low-key restraint of the important ministers of the country.

The word low-key and introverted is very suitable for the Sang Mansion, the door panel of the main entrance is made of black walnut, and if you steal those two door panels to sell them, you can have the wealth of the middle family.

Looking at the rest of the building timber, those who know how to identify the wood species can see the figure of precious wood everywhere.

In the traditional Zhuxia style, the identification of how much money was spent on the construction of a mansion is not based on the area or the number of buildings, but on the wood used, and then by looking at what is planted in the garden.

For example, Ah San likes to use gold to show his wealth, but Ah San will not know that some high-ranking officials in the Han Kingdom just draw a few beams at random, and dare not say that it is easily worth the total value of gold placed by Ah San, but it is enough to say that the wood value of a building is far more than enough.

"Father" Sang Cheng was not on duty today, he went out to hunt in the suburbs with his friends.

As soon as he got home, he saw his father Sang Yu standing in the vestibule, walking over to salute and call out.

"Cheng'er" Sang Cheng is twenty-one years old this year, and he shows his heroic side in a samurai uniform.

He is now a member of the Praetorian Guard.

Most of the high-ranking officials of the Han State, regardless of military and civilian, they have the same requirements for their sons and nephews, that is, if they can enter the military, they will never take the path of pure civilian officials, and they will only be trained in the path of pure civilian officials if they can't cope with military positions in their bodies.

Then there is a phenomenon, everyone has children and nephews in the army, or the kind of arrangement that enters the army and starts from a pawn, but it is not relying on his own authority that he will not return the foolish thing to fight for an official position.

With Liu Yan's importance to the army, they did not dare to show their authority in the military, but dared to operate in the civilian system, but it was limited to the choice of counties and counties where they were arranged.

Sang Cheng's position as a military marquis cannot be said to have relied on Sang Yu's light, and his family background must have some role, but he must also have actual merits.

He didn't catch up with the country that destroyed Zhao, and the later battles of the grassland and the Northeast did not fall, that is, he was promoted to a military marquis during the battle of exterminating Yan, and he was still a military marquis after two or three years.

"With whom did you winter hunt?"

Sang Cheng said a few names, most of them were the nephews of the three princes and the nine kings and the famous generals.

When he mentioned Ran Zhi, he was somewhat worried that Sang Yu would be unhappy, and it was almost a well-known thing that Sang Yu and Ran Min had a stiff quarrel.

"No Gain" It's a little embarrassing to mention the harvest of Sang Cheng.

The rest of them were busy for hours, and they didn't even find a single deer, let alone a beast.

Chang'an has been under construction for two or three years, and the surrounding area has long been ploughed over and over again for the sake of construction safety, and the ferocious animals have either been killed or arrested or driven away, and some harmless herbivores have basically disappeared.

After all, it is winter, and those who can hibernate under the lack of food choose to hibernate, and even animals that do not have the habit of hibernation will instinctively migrate to the deep mountains and old forests.

At present, there are still some projects in Chang'an that have not been completed, and many building resources are placed in the suburbs, and their winter hunting behavior is more like staring at the prey, rather than a group of young people.

Sang Yu asked Sang Cheng to follow, and asked a lot of things along the way.

Sang Cheng is not a son-in-law, he has the experience of fighting again and again, and he quickly sensed some key points from his father's questioning, focusing on Ran Zhi.

Ran Zhi returned to China with Huan Wen.

His father was a hussar general in the dynasty, but he didn't make a name for himself, or he wouldn't have gone to Huan Wen to be a halberd.

Returning to China this time, Ran Zhi added another stroke to his resume, it is impossible to become a high-ranking official directly, but there is no problem waiting to return to the Asan Continent to be a tun chief.

But he didn't feel anything to be proud of, or even a little ashamed.

"My son has joined the Praetorian Guard since the eleventh year of Yuan Shuo," Sang Cheng recalled: "I didn't dare to apply for an external transfer after listening to my father's teachings, but I was really unwilling to be left behind when I saw my peers working hard." ” Father and son had already walked to the back garden and stopped in a pavilion next to a large pond that had been dug by hand.

Sang Yu's eyes looked at the frozen pond, and when he moved his gaze a little further, he saw some towering buildings in Miyagi in the distance.

"It's time to go out and make a career."

Sang Yu withdrew his gaze, looked at Sang Cheng with a smile and said, "I plan to go to the Asan Continent" Sang Cheng asked again and again before, and he was reprimanded by his own Lao Tzu again and again.

He also understands why, isn't it that Lao Tzu feels that staying in the center can reassure the Son of Heaven What he has never understood is that most families don't have this at all, and their sons and nephews can go wherever they want, and they don't see who the Son of Heaven is not worried about, is his own Lao Tzu too cautious.

"My son wants to go to the Western Regions."

Sang Chengcai was reluctant to go to the continent that was about to be divided, and he was also bullying those soft-footed shrimp when he went, it was not a question of whether he had a sense of accomplishment, it was that the Taiwei Department had its own demarcation of the credit, and the credit on the Asan Continent was counted as inferior: "I heard that there are remnants of the Northern Huns over there, and my son wants to compete with them." ” "The Father can help you."

Sang Yu looked at Sang Cheng with a thoughtful look: "You have to help your father" "Thank you, father."

Sang Cheng said: "My son can apply normally." ” said that he did not use his authority, which meant that he did not interfere in the evaluation of meritorious merits, could it be that Sang Yu and Xu Zheng mentioned that their eldest son wanted to go to the Western Regions, and Xu Zheng could not help with this What Xu Zheng can do is to pass Sang Cheng's application, but he will definitely not interfere in which establishment a military marquis should be arranged, which will make it seem that he is very disadvantaged as a lieutenant.

The goal was achieved, Sang Cheng seemed very happy and excited, he didn't want to stay in Chang'an, where war would never break out, and felt that he was wasting a lot of time.

As soon as this person was excited, and in the face of his father, some things that should not be mentioned couldn't help but stop talking, mentioning the end of the three princes and nine secretaries system, and the matter of changing to three provinces and six ministries, and asked if there would be any changes in the military.

"Cheng'er knows that his father is going to take charge of Shangshu Province" Sang Yu couldn't control it at all, and his eyes became extremely sharp: "Don't hide it from your father." ” Sang Cheng was directly stupid, he didn't know about Lao Tzu's official transfer, he just knew that the system had to be changed.

"Cheng'er will go by herself."

Sang Yu didn't want to scare his successor into a fool, so he restrained his momentum and said flatly: "I want to go to the Western Regions, and I have to deal with my children before I leave." ” Feeling the great pressure, Sang Cheng respectfully saluted and left.

Sang Cheng got married at the age of fourteen, and at the age of twenty-one, he already had four boys and two girls.

Liu Yan's eldest son, Liu Shen, is only eight years old this year, and it is difficult for the sons of many bigwigs to have any friendship with them, and it depends on whether the grandchildren have that luck.

Sang Yu looked at Sang Cheng's departing back, and then looked at the huge mansion, and sighed suddenly
