"Wei Si Weizhou, the ancient Qianzhong, the Tian family leader, and the Yonglong of the Tang Dynasty."

This is a saying that praised the Tian family of Qianzhou during the Tang Dynasty. Tian Zongxian was the governor of Qianzhou during the Sui Dynasty. His son Tian Weikang built the ancient Qianzhong Road to open Qianzhong Road.

Later, as time passed, its territory gradually expanded and reached Sizhou, and the Tian family in Qianzhou became Sizhou An family.

Let me put it this way, if you want to reach southwestern Guizhou from Langzhou to Chenzhou, you must pass through the territory of Tian, ​​which is the closest border to Xiangxi Prefecture and also has a construction channel.

The head of the Tian family is the 11th generation Tian Chengwen. In the Later Tang Dynasty, he was named the rebel army envoy and the commander of the military commander of the rebel army. Because he controlled the ancient road between Guizhou and Zhongzhong, the Tian family became increasingly developed and became the leader of Guizhou.

Tian Chengwen inherited the position of governor from all generations in the first year of Shenwu. Now he is young and promising. As a local emperor, he has always been relaxed and comfortable.

From the Sui Dynasty, Tian came to Qianzhong Road and changed his clothes and was as thick as ordinary barbarians and dark in skin. He had no tattoos or hair breaks, maintaining the last trace of Han characteristics.

In Qianzhou, the heat is severe, the miasma is everywhere, and it is really uncomfortable to have long hair, but he is worried about the rules and cannot act arbitrarily.

"Head of the family, someone has come to the court!"

With long hair loose and white fox fur coat, Tian Chengwen cursed while baking the fire. He felt that the weather had been really abnormal over the years. Sizhou, which is as cold as spring all year round, is now so cold.

It seems that some people will be frozen to death this year.

It would be fine if you die, but you will go to the forest to capture some barbarians next year to supplement it. This is the most annoying thing.

"Court?" Tian Chengwen suddenly stood up, frowned, and said in confusion: "What did the court send people here to do?"

Among the four major families, due to distance and smooth business, the Tian family had the closest relationship with the imperial court, but they only paid a visit on weekdays. This year, he also sent his younger brother to Changsha. Is there anything wrong?

"Let them come here!" Tian Chengwen quickly changed into the military governor's outfit. His usual clothes were different from those of the court. He was a serious official position.

By the way, the entire south, from Hunan to the Southern Han Dynasty, and then to the Southern Tang Dynasty, began to abolish the vassal states, and there was no military governor at all. The ruler was a civil servant, saving Li Jia a lot of trouble.

The miserable Zhao Kuangyin accepted that the Later Zhou, Guanzhong and Hebei were all vassal states, while Hedong (Shanxi) was the Northern Han Dynasty. Only Henan and Huainan were directly under the jurisdiction of the court, and about half of the territory was not under the jurisdiction of the court.

Therefore, in the south where the Jiedushi is scarce, Tian Chengwen, the Jiedushi of Sizhou, was surrounded by the front and back, and had a great show of popularity, which seemed particularly strange to Song Ming.

Of course, due to the lack of iron and cloth in Sizhou, only a few dozen people had military robes, while the rest were short-dressed and brown clothes, with broken hair and tattoos, and the posture of Manliao was undoubtedly revealed.

It looks quite like a monkey-like appearance.

As an angel and a descendant of the Secretariat, Song Ming naturally had some cultivation. He forced himself to not laugh, and greeted him with mercy, and then entered the mansion.

Unlike the barbarians, Tian’s house has a brick and tile structure and a high-walled courtyard, like a small city, which is even stronger and taller than Sizhou City.

"I don't know what the angels came to Sizhou?"

After the two sat down, they put on tea and Tian Chengwen asked directly.

"Since the first year of Shenwu, Tian has always been in a state of stability, and has been at peace with the people and the chaos, and has worked hard and made great contributions. Your Majesty has given you some kindness!"

Song Ming said lightly, Tian Chengwen looked happy and thanked him: "The Tian family is in Sizhou. This is our responsibility. Now the court is magnanimous and your majesty is kind. We cannot repay you, but we can only serve you loyally."

“No need for so much politeness!”

Immediately, Song Ming presented a gift list, and Tian Chengwen took it to see it, and it turned out to be extremely generous.

Shu brocade fifty satin.

Twenty pieces of Wu embroidery.

One hundred pieces of porcelain.

Hundred pieces of agate.

Ten coral plants.

Ten pieces of armor, ten swords, and hundreds of books.

The imperial court was given three pieces of velvet jacket, dress and regular clothes.

The rest are some palace supplies, which are of great value and have extraordinary meanings.

"I will never repay the holy kindness after death!" Tian Chengwen roughly estimated that there were still thousands of chunks of these together, which was almost the income of his family for one month, which was quite good.

Seeing him bowing again, Song Ming smiled and said, "Please get up quickly. In order to praise Tian's loyalty, Your Majesty specially rewarded twenty words. As a member of the Tian family!"

As he said that, Tian Chengwen looked at it and saw two lines of words written on the yellow satin:

Ming Liangshao loyal

Guiyuan all the Qinghan

Wan Zhi is guarding the heart of the family

Shize extends

His Han culture is not good, but he knows these simple words, and the meaning is self-evident.

"I thank God!" Tian Chengwen quickly knelt down, shouting non-stop, with a look of emotion and crying.

Seeing his performance, Song Ming knew that his task had been completed, so he immediately helped him up and said earnestly:

"The Tian family is in Sizhou. This was promised by the imperial court in the previous Tang Dynasty. In view of the loyalty of Tian, ​​His Majesty did not want to break it. He gave the name Jiamian. I hope the envoy should not let down his expectations!"

"We should know what's wrong!" Tian Chengwen, because he had a lot of contact with the court, knew the strength of the court. His eyes rolled and bowed respectfully to Song Ming:

"I am a lonely person, and the court is kind to you, but Tian is remote and here, and I don't know how to repay the court. I am powerless, so I hope the angels will give you some advice!"

As he said that, he clapped his hands and a small box of silver coins was carried out. When he opened it, he saw that even if it was roughly estimated, there were three or four hundred pieces, which was no less than the rewards from the court.

Song Ming smiled slightly, understood it, and said with satisfaction:

"Your families are far away and far away, and the imperial court is beyond reach. Although the Guizhou Middle School is difficult to control and has given up for a moment, the imperial court does not want the chaos. All families must strive to show their performance before the emperor can feel at ease!"

"I don't know how to show it?" Tian Chengwen asked.

"It's not difficult!" Song Ming shook his head and said lightly:

"One, send your children to the Imperial College to enroll. The envoy is the governor of Sizhou and naturally has some power, preferably the eldest son!"

"Secondly, your family can also send some branches to the army to lead troops to fight. For example, the Eight Banners soldiers are very good. They are not yet full, so they just arranged one or two!"

"In this way, your government is increasingly close to the court, so why are there any suspicion?"

After hearing these two conditions, Tian Chengwen knew that this was the main purpose of the angel and he wanted to oppose it, but the court was powerful and the Eight Banners soldiers swept across the power of the states, such as Xun, Zhu, Chen, etc., made him quite helpless and could only obey.
