Chapter 982: Zheng Shanguo

"Is the phone call a very interesting thing..."

"It's not just interesting. If you can really talk in real time from a long distance, it will have a great impact on your strategic direction."

"That's right, during this period, we often use walkie-talkies to communicate in Shuofang. To be honest, it's not an exaggeration to call it a magical tool."

"The phone Erlang took out now can be said to be a derivative of the walkie-talkie, no, it should be an advanced product."

"Zhijie, you must stand on the same line with us. The phone has a lot to do with it. If it is feasible, it is best to use it within a small range. With such a big publicity as Erlang, I am worried that the artifact will be used by the enemy country."

The last person to speak was Qu Tutong, who is the oldest among the generals of the Tang Dynasty today. He is already seventy-one years old this year.

After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin sent him to Luoyang to guard the town. The reason why he appeared here was mainly because the imperial village was burned. He happened to learn about the telephone and joined in the fun.

Qu Tutong is a veteran general with a straightforward personality and dares to fight. Although he is 71 and is still injured, he has never given up his martial arts research and always thinks about how to improve the military bargaining chips of the Tang Dynasty.

The appearance of the telephone was undoubtedly the heart-to-heart, especially the burning incident of the imperial village a few days ago. If there was a telephone in the imperial village at that time, so many people might not have died or lost so many horses.

In the view of the veteran General Qu Tu, Cui Yan's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain directly burned more than 1,000 Li Shimin's war horses and killed more than 300 soldiers and servants. All of this could have been avoided.

(Qu Tutong, the double surname Qu Tu, the single name is Tong, the name is Tandouba, who is the person in Changli (now Jinzhou City, Liaoning), Xi clan.)

Faced with the reminder of the old general, everyone present looked at each other indifferently. Cheng Yaojin glanced at Xi Yunfei at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Old brother, do you really think that a few of us... can influence his thoughts?" Cheng Yaojin asked back.

Qu Tutong was stunned when he heard this, and the crow's feet in his eyes became more dense. He actually didn't know much about Xi Yunfei. From his perspective, everything is for the good of the Tang Dynasty, and it is his own people.

Whether Xi Yunfei's actions in Shuofang or his contributions in Chang'an over the past six months, he undoubtedly shows that he is an aspiring young man who serves the country and the people.

Of course, Qu Tutong's most appreciation for Xi Yunfei was Xi Yunfei's idea of ​​the conference of all races and Xi Yunfei's attitude towards some foreigners and Gentiles. Qu Tutong, who was also from ethnic minorities, could not even be as good as Xi Yunfei.

"Cui Xin, don't be idle, just say something!"

Qu Tutong was speechless and could only ask Cui Xin for help. I believe that everyone here knows the importance of the telephone to the strategic deployment of the Tang Dynasty. No matter what, he should not be the bad guy. Cui Xin might be Xi Yunfei's future grandfather, and he is somewhat useful to speak...

Cui Xin's eyes were withdrawn from the gate of the courtyard because Xi Yunfei had already walked back and his face was not very good-looking.

Several people in the yard looked back at the same time, Xi Yunfei looked at Cui Xin and smiled and said, "Mr. Cui, someone is causing trouble outside the door... Maybe you need to come forward."

Cui Xin and others were stunned at first, and Cheng Yaojin shouted carelessly: "Who is not very eye-catching who dares to make trouble with you? You still have to come forward to deal with it. Could it be that he is from the Cui family in Qinghe?"

Xi Yunfei shook his head and said bluntly: "It's from Zheng's family in Xingyang."

“…”

Cui Xin frowned slightly, nodded, and stood up and said, "I am rude in this matter. Thank you Erlang."

"No need to thank you, it's just a trivial matter."

Xi Yunfei accepted Cui Xin's apology with peace of mind.

After all, he could have arrested Mr. Zheng, who was causing trouble without telling Cui Xin.

When everyone arrived at the door.

The onlookers had been separated by the yamen runners, and an empty area appeared on the street.

On the ground, several middle-aged men dressed in noble clothes were beaten to the point of bleeding, and a few men dressed in hospitals stood beside them.

And behind those men, two carriages just jumped out of the man.

The first person is not old, and his rebellious expression and dress are undoubtedly telling everyone: I am not easy to mess with.

The carriage behind him was a middle-aged man over fifty years old. This person was not Zheng Yuan, who appeared in Shuofang, but Zheng Shanguo, the most prestigious Zheng in the court of Xingyang, who served as the Minister of Civil Affairs, Rites, and Justice. This year, he just served as the governor of Qizhou.

Zheng Shanguo's mother was born in the Cui family in Qinghe and happened to be Cui Xin's aunt. The two were cousins. They grew up together and had a close relationship.

At the beginning, Zheng Shanguo mentioned to Cui Xin that Cheng Yuqi would marry his eldest grandson Zheng Yu. When he was in Shuofang, several young men mentioned it and teased Zheng Yu. After Zheng learned that Cheng Yuqi was in love with Xi Yunfei, the marriage was left unresolved.

There is another interesting story about Zheng Shanguo. It is rumored that when Tang Xuanzang and Chen Shi were still novice monks, on the day when the imperial examination was held, Chen Shi, the young novice monk who had just entered the Pure Land Temple stood outside the government office early.

When the examiner Zheng Shanguo, the minister of Dali Temple, saw him, he asked him why he wanted to become a monk?

A long-lasting sentence blurted out from Chen Qi's mouth: "I want to introduce Tathagata far away and inherit the law of the near light."

Seeing that he was beautiful and surprised by his ambition, Zheng Shanguo made an exception and asked him to take the exam, and was eventually admitted to the extreme.

Later, Zheng Shanguo told his colleagues: "I think he has the character of becoming a Buddha and will definitely become a great talent in Buddhism in the future."

In this way, Chen Shi became a monk at the Pure Land Temple, and since then he has the Dharma name "Xuanzang".

Let’s talk about this.

The arbitrary young man standing behind those men was Zheng Yu who was "green".

At this time, when Zheng Yu saw Xi Yunfei and others appear, his face changed and he hurriedly looked at his grandfather Zheng Shanguo behind him.

Zheng Shanguo had a warm smile on her face. She first nodded to Cui Xinyaoyao, and then bowed to Cheng Yaojin and others.

Finally, when I walked closer, I said loudly: "When something happened just now, someone here will come out to preside over justice for my grandson."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Yunfei was stunned. Could it be that there was a reversal?

Cui Xin walked behind Xi Yunfei and said with his ears: "The Zheng family is as famous as his name, and he is righteous and obeys the law, and has achieved great achievements."

Xi Yunfei nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, and looked up at Zhen Youcai beside him.

Zhen Youcai was interested and hurried to ask the guy who had just witnessed everything.

However, the middle-aged people on the ground stood up tremblingly and bowed to Zheng Shanguo together.

The leader said, "I don't know that Mr. Zheng has just spoken wildly, but it is not worthy of it. I also asked Mr. Zheng to let the young master's words go for the sake of the young master's ignorance."

Zheng Shanguo still had a spring breeze-like smile on his face. He looked at his grandson and asked, "They just said a few arrogant words to you. Now you have also beaten someone seriously. It can be said that he has been directly accused of grievances. Is the anger in his heart clear?"

Zheng Yu lowered his head and bowed, "My grandson knew he was wrong."

"That's good."

Zheng Shanguo turned around and ordered to the entourage: "It's always wrong to take some money to beat people. The medicine fee and the fine of Wuhouting, you take Yu'er to pay it in person."

The follower respectfully called him yes, and took Zheng Yu and started chatting with the yamen runners who came to maintain order.
