Listening to Yuan Xiu's declaration, Mu Shanyue felt deafened and moved to tears.
He looked at Yuan Xiu in front of him, dancing his fists under the dark clouds. Behind him was the violent storm, lightning and thunder, which made him think of the late emperor for an instant.
"The Yuan family has no soft bones." Mu Shanyue served three generations of emperors. This was his summary of the Yuan family and the reason why he swore allegiance to them.
Mu Shanyue saluted and said: "I support your majesty's decision. As long as I can be useful, I will fight to the death to serve the country!"
The aura that Yuan Xiu erupted at this time shocked everyone, and Wen Tai did not dare to sing the opposite tune anymore.
Yuan Xiu helped Mu Shanyue up, held his old hand and said, "Mr. Mu, there is no need to perform this great ceremony."
After saying that, Yuan Xiu looked at the others and said: "I will give an order to the emperor's uncle to station troops at Muqiaokou to put pressure on the Southern Zhou Dynasty. But the emperor's uncle is a person who has the overall situation in mind and can mobilize troops from the Zhennan border army.
Our troops are limited. Therefore, I will send an army south to Yunshui City to put pressure on Southern Zhou."
"I have stationed troops at Yunjing and Yunshui. I want to see if the Southern Zhou Dynasty is panicking or not!"
Wen Tai said: "Send another army... Your Majesty, are you going to mobilize troops from General Wang?"
"It's inappropriate for Wang Ren to be far away in the three counties of New Taipei." Yuan Xiu looked at Tie Ge and asked, "Master Tie, where do we have any available troops?"
Without thinking, Tie Ge immediately said: "Jingbei County has 50,000 troops stationed there. There has been no war there in the past few years, so it can be used."
Yuan Xiu thought for a moment and said: "That's not right either. The garrison of Jingbei County is in the northeast of the empire. It is transferred from the northeast to the southeast. Not to mention the long distance, the money and food consumed is huge, which is not cost-effective."
Tie Ge frowned and said: "In this case, other counties will only have scattered troops."
"Just use scattered troops." Yuan Xiu ordered: "Master Tie, please make a plan and use the garrison troops from Shangyang County and Jiangyang County. They are closest to Yunjing. Who are the commanders of these two counties?"
While Tie Ge was still thinking, Chen Changyun immediately said: "Your Majesty, the lieutenant of Shangyang County is called Li Lu, who was once the prefect of Shuotong City in Shangyang County. The lieutenant of Jiangyang County is called Chai Xin, who was once the inspector of Yanchuan City. This
Both of them were promoted this year."
Yuan Xiu nodded and said: "The one who has just been promoted is better and has the drive to make meritorious deeds. Let them each lead 10,000 garrison troops to Yunshui City."
Tie Ge took the order and said: "Yes!"
Yuan Xiu raised the letter again and said: "Sister Huang also said that if my final choice is to send troops, I hope that the right prime minister can command the troops. In private, the court arranged for me to save my son, and your right prime minister will be grateful to me. In Gong
, the right prime minister and the champion king simultaneously led their troops south to suppress the border, which could give the Southern Zhou Dynasty a greater deterrent."
"What do you think?"
Mu Shanyue said: "I think it is feasible."
Chen Changyun echoed: "I second the proposal."
Tie Ge also nodded and said: "It would be great if the right prime minister can go south in person."
Yuan Xiu did not express his position, but looked at Wen Tai.
Wen Tai understood what Yuan Xiu meant and said: "Your Majesty, I also think it is feasible, but... the team temporarily assembled from Shangyang County and Jiangyang County is in a hurry to go south, and the right minister will have some difficulty. I suggest,
The imperial court will send another supervisor to assist the right prime minister in commanding the troops."
"The Prime Minister Zuo's proposal is wonderful, who should he send?" Yuan Xiu glanced at the crowd.
Chen Changyun lowered his head and clasped his fists, silently recommending himself.
Commanding 20,000 troops to perform a wave of performances will be a great achievement when you come back. From then on, you will have a resume of commanding troops. Even if there is a fight, there will be the right minister and the champion in front of you.
No matter how you look at it, this is a business that only makes money but never loses money!
Tie Ge also straightened his back and looked forward to it.
Yuan Xiu's eyes passed between the two of them and landed on He Yin's face.
"He Yin!"
"I'm here."
"You will be the supervisor!"
"I accept your order!" He Yin looked calm on the surface, but was shocked inside. He never expected that the emperor would order his general.
Tie Ge sighed regretfully, but Chen Changyun said unconvinced: "Your Majesty, if you want to go, Master Tie should go too, right? Master He is the Minister of Justice..."
Yuan Xiu ignored Chen Changyun and said to He Yin: "When Zhao Cheng was eliminating spies in Yanchuan City, Mr. He went to investigate and got to know Zhao Cheng better. After welcoming Zhao Cheng back this time, you should get closer to him.
, Sir He, can you understand what I mean?"
"I understand."
Chen Changyun pursed his lips, thinking that when he went to Yanchuan City to investigate Zhao Cheng, I went too!
Although I was dissatisfied, I didn't dare to say any more.
Yuan Xiu said again: "The old minister of the Ministry of Punishment has asked me to resign several times, and I can't keep dragging him around. He Yin, if you can come back smoothly, you can replace the old minister!"
"My lord, thank you for your kindness!!" He Yin quickly knelt down, extremely excited.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect the emperor to speak so directly.
This makes it clear what the tone is!
Is he afraid that because he is young and has insufficient qualifications, some people will criticize him for taking the position of minister, so he will be given a big credit?
Guaranteed delivery!!
What did the emperor like about He Yin?
Chen Changyun couldn't understand.
Mu Shanyue stroked his beard and was very satisfied with the emperor's arrangement.
He knew what the emperor liked about He Yin.
Fair and selfless!
Full of righteousness!
"It seems that the emperor is gradually realizing that there are more and more sycophants around him, and this trend needs to be changed." Mu Shanyue glanced at Chen Changyun and Wei You, with a proud look on his face.
Wen Tai lowered his head, but his face didn't look good.
He had already recommended the candidate to the emperor to fill the vacancy of Minister of Punishment. The emperor did not use it and did not greet him. Instead, he promised He Yin in public.
You are not joking, as long as He Yin's trip goes smoothly, there will be no changes.
Looking at this increasingly mature and assertive emperor, Wen Tai felt something bad in his heart.
…
When the news of Zhao Cheng's capture reached Changsui and Yanchuan, Yang Qingzhi was happily stroking his cat, happily waiting for the next performance.
In order to avoid disturbing the order of the army, Yang Qingzhi brought Zhao Cheng to the manor.
In the open space outside the manor, soldiers from the Southern Zhou Dynasty formed a large circle, and Zhao Cheng was tied to a tree with his backhand.
Yang Qingzhi was sitting far away from Zhao Cheng, a hundred meters away, eating fruit comfortably.
Looking at the posture in front of him, Zhao Cheng was confused and shouted: "Little Governor, you can turn your face faster than you can flip a book! Are you going to execute me?!"
"No hurry, no hurry!" Yang Qingzhi waved his hand to Zhao Cheng cheerfully and said, "You will know in a moment, no hurry!"
"Your grandma!" Zhao Cheng cursed secretly, and at the same time looked around, except for the Nanzhou soldiers, he didn't see anything unusual.
But immediately, his eyes were attracted by a figure walking out of the manor.
This figure was dressed in night clothes, holding a bow and arrow in hand, followed by six Southern Zhou soldiers.
She walked into the circle surrounded by Southern Zhou soldiers and stopped two hundred meters away from Zhao Cheng.
Even though she was far away, Zhao Cheng could still recognize her.
Just like when he was surrounded by people that night, even though he could only hear the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the wind, he could still be sure who was coming.
