There are usually no guests in the idle Beilianghou Mansion in the capital, because it is a taboo in the officialdom to hang around too much with generals stationed abroad. Therefore, even if those officials in the capital intend to make friends with Chenyue, they don't dare to visit him. But today, the Beilianghou

However, the mansion welcomed a guest, Xue Chengyi, the Minister of Punishment.

"Uncle Xue, why are you here? Please come quickly!" Chenyue looked at Xue Chengyi who entered the house in surprise and said.

"What, you're not welcome, then I'm leaving?" Xue Chengyi pretended to go out. Every time he saw Chen Yue, the Minister of Punishment, he seemed to be a different person, with a much better temper.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, Uncle Xue? You can come as you please with me. I'll see who dares to stop you." Chenyue grabbed Xue Chengyi's hand and came to the living room.

Xue Chengyi, who was sitting on a mahogany chair, looked left and right, then said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, although this Marquis Mansion is unoccupied all year round, it is quite impressive."

This house was originally a reward from the royal family when Chenyue suppressed the rebellion in Southern Xinjiang and was granted the title of Marquis. It is naturally of extraordinary quality.

Chenyue chuckled: "Uncle, please don't talk about these things. You are busy with official duties and have no chance to go out. You definitely didn't come here because of my house today, right? If you really like it, you can wait until I leave.

move in."

"Haha, you kid, you are so straightforward." Xue Chengyi laughed and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Chenyue rubbed his hands and said, "Let's talk about it then? It seems that uncle has good news to tell me today."

Xue Chengyi looked outside the house, and when he saw no one there, he whispered: "I received the news that you will soon take over the post of governor of Beiliang and Liaodong. How about it? Are you happy?"

"Are you sure!" Chen Yue's eyes suddenly burst into light.

"We are inseparable from each other. Shangguan and Yuwen have no objections. There will be one deputy envoy and one deputy envoy for the Northern Liang and Liaodong roads. Mr. Tong Chengxiang will be appointed as the Liaodong route envoy. Xue Leihan will be appointed as the envoy.

Deputy Economic Envoy of Liaodong. As for other officials of Liaodong Province, you will appoint them after the imperial decree is officially promulgated. Just like Beiliang, you decide on the appointment, dismissal and promotion of officials." Xue Chengyi said with a smile: "This news is from Shangguan Taiqing.

He told me personally, so I came here to announce the good news."

"Haha." Chenyue suddenly felt extremely comfortable and laughed: "The decision has been made, not bad, not bad!"

What Chenyue valued most when he came to Beijing was not the illusory king with a different surname, but the real land of the four states in Liaodong.

Xue Chengyi also stroked a small beard on his chin and said: "It seems that the officials who went to Liao were killed, and the Yan Rong army may have invaded the border, which made them change their minds and realize that only you can guarantee the security of the northern border.

Yan Rong’s horses’ hooves cannot go south.”

"Haha." Chenyue sneered twice: "It's just that the two families are busy fighting among themselves and don't want to waste their power at the border. Otherwise, the troops from the Southern Border Road and the Longxi Road can completely be mobilized to go north.

"

Xue Chengyi nodded silently, what Chen Yue said was exactly what he was thinking.

"But it doesn't matter. I'm here to guard the border. We have nothing to do with them fighting them." Chen Yue waved his hand indifferently.

Xue Chengyi suddenly sneaked closer to Chenyue and asked in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, were you the ones responsible for the murder of Liaodong officials?"

In fact, Xue Chengyi felt that Beiliang was responsible for this matter since the night when the palace was discussing it. After all, when Tong Chengxiang went to Liaodong, Chenyue looked unconcerned and clearly had a back-up plan.

Chenyue looked at Xue Chengyi's curious face and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm afraid I have to ask your son! It's hard for me to say, haha!"

Xue Chengyi was stunned for a moment, Chen Yue's expression was obviously acquiescence.

"Damn it!" Xue Chengyi couldn't help but cursed: "This kid is getting more and more courageous, and he dares to attack the imperial official!"

Xue Chengyi is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and his son plans to intercept and kill the imperial official. What should he do, do he want to kill his relatives with a single act of justice?

"Hey, uncle, what you said is wrong. You know the virtues of the officials who went to Liao Dynasty. Are the people you didn't see dead all the children of the aristocratic families? Xue Leihan still knows how to act appropriately." Chenyue raised the corner of his mouth sinisterly.

.

"That's true." Xue Chengyi smiled bitterly: "But after all, it was sent by the imperial court. Killing so many people will have too much impact."

Chen Yue's eyes suddenly turned cold and cold: "Some people are parents and officials, and they really want to contribute to Liaodong. I welcome such people, and I will take as much as the imperial court sends, but some people don't think so.

Yes. Does uncle know that before they even arrive in Liaodong, they are already planning to rob women and exploit the people?"

This was written in the urgent report sent by Wentian Si. Chenyue was very angry when he saw it.

"What, this is happening?" Xue Chengyi, who had been sighing just now, suddenly became angry: "Then you Beiliang killed well! You really deserve to be killed!"

Xue Chengyi's face changed so quickly that he wished he could do it himself.

"Forget it, stop talking about this rubbish, it creates a bad atmosphere." Chen Yue waved his hand helplessly.

"Oh, by the way, is it true or false that Yan Rong invaded Bian?" Xue Chengyi raised another very concerned question.

Chenyue shook his head: "It's fake."

Xue Chengyi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. After all, the war had just ended, and he really didn't want to see another war start.

"But it will be a matter of time before Yan Rong raises his troops and marches south." Chen Yue lowered his head and said, "Yan Rong's ambition is by no means satisfied with conquering a single Beijin. We must make preparations for the border crossing in advance."

"It'll be up to you then." Xue Chengyi sighed earnestly.

"Don't worry, uncle." Chen Yue smiled calmly.

…

On the night after chatting with Xue Chengyi, Chen Yue was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother. The two talked for a long time in the palace. Shangguan Wanrong finally explained to Chen Yue the decision to seal Liaodong. It was a showdown.

Naturally, Chenyue bowed down to accept the order and stated that he would resolutely obey the imperial court's will. Any invading enemy from Beiliang would be given a head-on attack.

When Chenyue came out of the palace, he had completely put the Liaodong he had longed for into his pocket.

Shangguan Wanrong looked in the direction Chenyue was leaving, and remained silent for a long time. A figure quietly walked out from behind the screen, it was Shangguan Taiqing, the uncle of the state.

"Did you hear everything he said?" Shangguan Wanrong asked softly.

Shangguan Taiqing nodded: "Since Chenyue can make such a guarantee, then Liaodong will give it to him."

"Alas." Shangguan Wanrong sighed, and lamented: "If Chenyue is truly loyal to the royal family, he can definitely keep our border safe for fifty years!"

…

At the end of the conversation between the two, the Empress Dowager Qian warned Wan that the Northern Territory must not be lost.

Chenyue only replied to the Queen Mother:
Chapter completed!
