Yang Xuan was stunned, then smiled and said calmly: "It's bitterly cold in Northern Xinjiang, and foreign enemies are rampant. I never write poetry when I have nothing to do in Northern Xinjiang. It's not that I can't, but I don't have the interest."
Wei Ling'er asked: "Dongqing, why did Zitai hear this wrong?"
Zhang Dongqing said: "What Zitai means is that we have enough to eat and a group of people gather here to compose poems when they have nothing to do."
Liang Yue heard it and said angrily: "Oh! In this prosperous age, we enjoy peace and wealth, why shouldn't we?"
"Of course I shouldn't say anything, and I don't want to say it at all." Yang Xuan said: "But Madam is very aggressive, so if Yang has a few more words, I will give them to Madam."
Liang Yue sneered, "Haha!"
Yang Xuan spoke.
"The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and the bones are frozen to death on the road!"
Yang Xuan turned and left.
Chen Yu'er's eyes sparkled with light, and her mouth opened, "Oh my god! He speaks famous lines when he opens his mouth!"
Zhang Dongqing said in shock: "These two sentences... Ling'er, today's poetry meeting is going to be famous."
"I know." Wei Ling'er looked at Yang Xuan absentmindedly as he left, "The wine and meat in Zhumen stinks, and there are freezing bones on the road. These two poems come from the heart. Let's eat, drink and have fun, but Zitai thinks about the livelihood of the people.
Immediate judgment! No wonder Aye thinks so highly of him."
Yang Xuan went out all the way.
"I'm selling caramel! The caramel is so sweet!"
The girl was hawking again carrying a bamboo basket.
With sweat all over her forehead, she knocked off a piece of candy, collected the money, and when she saw her feet in front of her, she subconsciously said, "Do you want some candy, Sir? The candy is so sweet."
"You are so fast!"
I just sold one bamboo basket, and then another one arrived.
The girl looked up and said in surprise: "It's the husband! This is how my family makes money."
"Home is nearby?"
"It's two miles away!"
"Then why are you so fast?" Yang Xuan calculated the distance, added a bamboo basket of heavy caramels, and found it difficult.
The girl's cheeks were red. She wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her thick black hand and smiled brightly. "If you don't make money, you won't have food to eat. I want to eat at home, so I run fast!"
"Life will force people to run wildly." Yang Xuan nodded, "Where are your parents at home?"
"Aniang is starving to death. Aye is lying down and can't get up." The girl felt sad for a moment, then smiled again.
Very brilliant.
Han Ji asked: "How come you can still smile so brightly under such circumstances?"
The girl glanced at him and said, "If you don't smile, what else can you do?"
Han Ji was startled, and Yang Xuan said: "The purpose of her life is to support her family by selling candy. This is all she has. She works hard for this and has a clear conscience."
Han Ji understood, "How many people in this world can live with a clear conscience?"
Yang Xuan asked: "There are many people giving porridge in Chang'an, why are they starving to death?"
The girl was confused for a moment, "We are refugees."
"I understand." Yang Xuan saw the waiter frowning impatiently in front and asked, "What is your name? Where do you live?"
"My name is Zhang Wuniang, and I live here..."
…
In the palace, the monarchs and ministers gathered to discuss some personnel matters.
"Yang Xuan, the governor of Chenzhou, was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
The emperor looked at everyone.
When Yang Xuan came to the Ministry of Personnel, one of the reasons was to weaken Huang Chunhui, and the other was to mix in the sand... The abbot of the Ministry of Personnel had manpower, and Yang Xuan and the abbot were not compatible. In this way, if Yang Xuan took office, he would be able to effectively contain the abbot.
The emperor's methods are so shocking that people are speechless.
During the discussion that day, Luo Cai spoke for Yang Xuan, but today he is gone.
Everyone glanced at Zhou Zun.
Although you should avoid suspicion.
But everyone could see the emperor's intentions. Once Yang Xuan came to Chang'an, he would fall into endless battles.
It won't be long before the so-called famous generals of the Tang Dynasty will be drowned in the muddy waters of Chang'an.
Zhou Zun stood up.
A flash of understanding flashed in the emperor's eyes.
According to reports from the Mirror, Zhou Zun and his son were very caring towards Zhou Ning. They loved the whole family, so they naturally paid more attention to Yang Xuan, their son-in-law. In addition, Yang Xuan's rapid rise surprised the Zhou family.
Unexpected gains should naturally be cherished.
But this matter is impeccable, what can Zhou Zun say?
"Your Majesty, when my son-in-law Yang Xuan mentioned this matter, he shed tears of gratitude for your Majesty's attention."
I don’t believe it!
"But my son-in-law was quite hesitant. I was puzzled and asked him questions one by one.
My son-in-law said that Chenzhou had three major tribes in front of him. After destroying the Jibo tribe this time, there were still two major tribes that were causing trouble.
In addition, Tanzhou Helianrong was eyeing him and wanted to defeat Chen Ligong.
It doesn't matter if he leaves, it will be a disaster if the person who takes over is unfamiliar or not good at fighting.
His future is small, but the overall situation of Chenzhou is more important."
"As I said last time, the damage to three major departments is nothing to worry about." Zheng Qi felt that Zhou Zun was struggling to death.
Once you get into the civil service department, it won't be up to you!
The Zhou family has become alienated from everyone in the past few years, and some of them want to imitate the Wang family. The emperor has long wanted to deal with the Zhou family, how can he let this opportunity pass?
Moreover, Zhou Zun was not familiar with the war in Northern Xinjiang, so he talked dryly for a long time.
It's not convincing at all.
Zhou Zun said: "Your Majesty, my son-in-law wants to meet the Holy Spirit."
We can't explain it, so let the person involved speak.
This was also what Yang Xuan meant. He asked his father-in-law to take action, just asking for a chance to make a difference in the court.
"Can!"
So, the chamberlain left the palace and went to Qujiang Pool to bring Yang Xuan in.
…
On the official road leading to Chang'an.
More than ten riders are on their way.
"drive!"
The war horses galloped hard, and the big men on the horses wore bamboo hats and had their faces covered with gauze, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
There was nothing I could do, it was too hot, plus the dust all the way. If it hadn't been like this, with the crazy speed of traveling from Northern Xinjiang to Chang'an, something would have happened.
Just behind, more than a hundred riders were chasing.
"We have been chasing them all the way, and finally we caught up." The leading man pointed to the path on the right, "This is a shortcut, let's go! Go to the front and intercept them!"
"drive!"
More than a hundred riders turned right.
Smoke and dust billowed.
After galloping all the way, when they reached the official road again, the man in the lead raised his hand, "pretending to be in a hurry."
More than a hundred riders slowly slowed down.
The dozen or so riders appeared in front.
"They're coming."
"Get ready to do it!"
The two sides are constantly getting closer.
When they were more than a hundred steps away, the leading man shouted, "Draw your sword."
Choking!
Amidst the sound of swords being drawn, the dozen or so big men on the opposite side raised their heads.
"They didn't bring knives."
Someone here is ecstatic!
"You son of a bitch, you didn't bring a knife. Do you think you have a safe journey?"
"Good opportunity, kill them!"
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and more than a hundred horsemen swarmed away.
"Kill!"
More than a hundred people with knives were killed, and more than ten people without knives were killed. No matter how you look at it, it was a massacre.
Perhaps, a face-to-face meeting can solve the problem.
Immediately, he was able to find things calmly and escape far away.
If you want, you can drag the corpse away.
Let Yang Gou want to cry without tears, and be incompetent and furious!
More than ten big men casually took out an iron rod.
The leader, Zheng Suo, raised his iron stick and said, "Damn it! What is going on? Are you going to intercept and kill us?"
"yes!"
"Are there fewer people?"
"Looking at over a hundred people, they don't look impressive."
"Could it be that you've lost your mind and gone crazy?"
Someone on the opposite side suddenly turned pale and screamed: "They are holding sticks! Iron sticks!"
In an instant, most of the people's expressions changed drastically.
"It's those big guys around Yang Gou!"
"not good!"
"retreat!"
"We made a mistake!"
The men screamed and tried to retreat.
But the speed increased and the distance was very close.
The people in front could only scream and chop with all their might.
The iron rod was swung with a powerful whistling sound.
Mixed with crisp or dull sounds.
Boom boom boom!
The head was smashed and the muscles and bones were broken.
The miserable howl stopped the travelers behind.
But the people of the Tang Dynasty were very courageous and did not even try to avoid it. They all gathered together to watch the fun.
"Oh! This stick actually broke my head."
"Look, that arm can be thrown behind you, it's amazing!"
After a fierce and short fight, the remaining dozens of horsemen turned around and fled.
"Should we pursue him or not?" More than ten people looked at Zheng Suo.
"Isn't it almost to Chang'an? Follow the way!"
After chasing him for a few miles, dozens of riders appeared in front.
"It's Ouda!"
Zheng Suo smiled and said, "Hurry up."
Uda shouted: "Kill!"
There was a pincer attack from both sides, and only a few of the dozens of riders escaped, while the others all became ghosts.
"No one left alive?" Uda asked.
"Stop it, leave the corpses here, and let their master collect them." Zheng Suo kept riding, "Where is Mr. Lang?"
"Mr. Lang has entered the palace. I want you to rush to the palace gate."
"Countless!"
Zheng Suo hurriedly entered Chang'an City and hurried outside the palace gate.
"What's the matter?"
The sergeant guarding the gate shouted.
Zheng Suo said: "There is an urgent military situation in Chenzhou in northern Xinjiang. The entire southern part of the town is dispatched to besiege Lin'an City! It is urgent. Please send it to the palace."
…
Enter the palace and salute.
"Your Majesty." Yang Xuan raised his head and said, "Chenzhou is not rich in products. Chang'an has not received much money and food in recent years, so farming is particularly important."
These words involved the household head of the country, and he just smiled.
"Every spring plowing, the alien tribesmen on the grassland will definitely send troops to trample, burn, kill and loot. I must make sure that I, Chenzhou, have no harvest. When the harvest comes, I can only starve."
When Yang Xuangang arrived in northern Xinjiang, the soldiers and civilians had food rations, and the pot-bellied man could not survive there.
"Just send out troops."
Zheng Qi said.
Didn't the emperor give orders not to attack?
"Yes! Just send out troops." Boss Yang said with a smile: "What Zheng Shangshu said is true. But, how should we send out troops? The scouts reported that the enemy's army was harassing by 500 troops. How many should Chenzhou send out?
If there are thousands of enemy troops hiding behind them, they will be ambushed if they send out fewer troops.
If the enemy's army is only five hundred, then, not to mention the waste of money and food by sending out a large army, the enemy may take advantage of the emptiness of Chenzhou to make a surprise attack.
If the enemy gathers a large army and waits for Chenzhou to send out troops for a decisive battle, and then launch a surprise attack on Lin'an, does Zheng Shangshu know how to deal with it?"
Zheng Qi was already stunned.
"All of this depends on the judgment of officials and generals, and such judgment requires experience. And experience comes from countless fights, countless losses, and countless hardships..."
"You can sharpen your skills, why can't others?" Zheng Qi retorted.
"Yes!" Yang Xuan looked very humble, but his father-in-law knew that this boy was not a humble person, but he was a little curious about how he would refute Zheng Qi.
"In the past, the three major departments were all here. Although the war with Chenzhou continued, there was at least a balance.
After the Jibo tribe was wiped out, the two remaining tribes were very sad and worried that Chen Zhou would deal with them next.
Tanzhou Helianrong also kept driving them to attack.
In desperation, what will they do?
Either they can turn back and attack Tanzhou, but they don't dare. The second option is to bite and fight with Chenzhou, their old enemy."
Yang Xuan said: "The enemy is already extremely vicious, and his counterattack in desperation is particularly fierce.
This is not the time to practice.
Just like the original Southern Expedition, if one general is incompetent, the overall situation will become irreversible in an instant.
Furthermore, if Chenzhou loses, Beiliao will attack with a large army.
After defeating Chenzhou, they detoured to the right and outflanked Xuanzhou's retreat.
At that time, the entire situation in Northern Xinjiang will be in dire straits!"
Zhou Zun's eyelids twitched.
The son-in-law's words sounded peaceful, but he could hear the flavor inside.
When has it been?
What kind of experience do you still have in mind?
When Chenzhou is defeated and the situation in Northern Xinjiang is in great disarray, every word spoken at this moment will become evidence of mistakes.
The king and his ministers would naturally laugh at such trivial matters.
Chenzhou was defeated and Northern Xinjiang was on the verge of collapse. Who should bear the responsibility?
This is a bit too much!
Zheng Qi smiled and said: "Is it just your word that determines the overall situation of Northern Xinjiang?"
This statement implies that Yang Xuan and Huang Chunhui have the same personality.
Your Majesty, this person will definitely be Huang Chunhui's second in the future, so don't be lenient!
The emperor coughed dryly, "This matter..."
Zheng Qi smiled slightly.
He glanced at Yang Xuan.
Officials, you go and decide.
There will be good things waiting for you in that place.
Let’s play slowly!
No rush!
"His Majesty!"
A chamberlain arrived outside the palace.
"Discourteous!" Han Shitou said with a cold face, walked over and asked, "What's all the fuss about?"
The chamberlain said: "Urgent report from Chenzhou in Northern Xinjiang."
Han Shitou was thinking about how Xiao Langjun would deal with the gangsters of the abbot and his gang after he came to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He was startled when he heard this and said, "What urgent report?"
"Chenzhou urgently reports that the southern part of the town is moving southward to besiege Lin'an."
Everyone in the hall looked at Boss Yang.
What the hell!
Some people are muttering, "He actually said it and it came true?"
"Yes! Unless the southern part of the town is under his command!"
"Mostly cajoling!"
This is the reaction of most people.
Zheng Qi asked: "Why should we not be defeated?"
Yang Xuan glanced at him, silently.
The father-in-law coughed dryly.
Chen Shen, the left prime minister who has been silent all this time, said: "At the beginning, the DPRK issued strict orders not to leave northern Xinjiang."
What Yang Xuan was embarrassed to say, Chen Shen said.
"This matter needs to be confirmed." Zheng Qi quickly made up for his mistake and said secretly: "As soon as Yang Shijun said that Chenzhou could not live without him, the two ministries would counterattack madly, and they launched a large-scale attack in the southern part of the town.
Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense, but isn’t it too coincidental?”
Lying about military information on the border is a common thing!
The emperor said calmly: "The mirror should have news about this matter."
The messaging system of the mirror is also not slow.
"His Majesty."
The people at the mirror are here.
Zheng Qi smiled and sat down.
Take a look at Yang Xuan by the way.
This son has ruined the father-in-law's affairs several times, and it's time to deal with it.
The people at the mirror came in.
"But there is an urgent report from Northern Xinjiang?" Chen Shen asked.
"Exactly." The people in the mirror looked at Chen Shen with more shock in their eyes.
The left prime minister was so unpredictable that he was truly a man of God.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Taipei. The southern part of the town is marching southward and is besieging Lin'an."
