Although Yang Qingyuan did not specify clearly in his words, Cao Xueyang already roughly knew what was hidden in this brocade box?
What could be more important than two million taels of silver?!
"Brother Yang, don't worry. Since Your Majesty and Mr. Yu have handed over this matter, I will deliver this item intact to the Governor."
--------------------------
The next day, the north gate of the divine capital.
Yang Qingyuan was absent from work and came to see him off.
"Brother Yang, it's thanks to your care that I came to the capital. Otherwise, I would have been afraid that I would not be able to escape from this place of right and wrong."
Cao Xueyang was now dressed in Ling Jue, carrying Tong Hong on his back, and resumed his female general attire.
He has a heroic appearance and does not show off his eyebrows.
"The road ahead is difficult and dangerous. Xueyang needs to be more careful!"
Cao Xueyang knew the meaning of Yang Qingyuan's words and smiled calmly, "Brother Yang, don't worry, although Xueyang is not a famous general, he has fought on the battlefield for many years. With the escort of these five thousand imperial guards, Xueyang will safely deliver his salary."
"Before I leave, I have something to give you."
Yang Qingyuan took out a volume of books from his arms.
Cao Xueyang took the book and opened it. It recorded various Qinggong movements.
Kunlun's pursuit of wind and lightning, Shaolin's eight steps to catch cicadas, crossing the river with a reed, and the golden geese flying across the sky in Huashan... All the unique light skills of the great schools that people in the world are flocking to are recorded in the book. The last seven pages also record Yang Qingyuan
Some of the Qinggong body techniques that I have deduced.
"I have seen Xueyang's martial arts, which are fierce and fierce, but there are some deficiencies in light skills, and I happen to be good at this. I took the time to sort out some light skills last night. They are not expensive martial arts. If Xueyang is interested, you can learn them.
Ichiban.”
"It's not a precious martial arts", Yang Qingyuan finally pretended to be a good person. If ordinary people in the world or disciples of these sects heard these words, they would probably yell out loud.
After saying that, he got on his horse, looked back at Yang Qingyuan, waved his hand, and the troops set off.
After watching Cao Xueyang leave, Yang Qingyuan received the instructions from Emperor Zhou and entered the palace to see him.
In the imperial study room, only Yang Qingyuan and Yu Yanyi were left at this time.
Cao Zhengchun, the director of the East Factory, was on guard at the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping inside.
"General Xuanwei is gone!?"
As soon as Yang Qingyuan sat down, Emperor Zhou joked, even Yu Yanyi, who was always serious next to him, kept smiling.
Yang Qingyuan felt that these two people were talking about him, but he had no evidence. After all, they were both big shots in the DPRK, so he had to answer honestly.
"General Cao has just set off!"
Emperor Zhou had an expression on his face that I had already seen through.
"That day, I said I would marry you, but you didn't want to. Now she's gone! You must regret it!"
"..."
Yang Qingyuan was a little speechless. Are you waiting for him here?
"I feel that although General Cao is different from the gentleness of ordinary women, he is resolute and decisive, and has great military exploits. He would be a good match for you, Qingyuan." Yu Yanyi also rarely opened his mouth to finish the attack.
As soon as he heard Yu Yanyi's support, Emperor Zhou became excited, "Look, it's not just me who thinks it's suitable, but everyone thinks it's suitable! You're twenty-five this year!"
"I am only twenty-four this year."
Yang Qingyuan always felt that this scene was very familiar. Could it be that he couldn't escape even if he pushed for marriage?
"Already twenty-four! Not married yet?! When I was your age, the prince had already started to go to school!"
Emperor Zhou had an expression on his face that hated iron for not becoming steel.
Yu Yanyi put down his tea cup and said, "Ascension, I impeach Yang Qingyuan, the young minister of Dali Temple. He is in charge of criminal law and knows the law and breaks it."
Yang Qingyuan looked in disbelief, "I..."
"According to our laws of the Zhou Dynasty, those who do not marry after the age of twenty-two shall be fined five coins of silver every year. Yang Shaoqing, am I right?"
Yang Qingyuan was familiar with the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, and of course he knew about this provision, but he didn't expect that Yu Yanyi would use it directly.
"Then it will be deducted from his salary!"
When Emperor Zhou saw it, he saw that there was a legal basis, which was even more incredible.
"If one day I feel unhappy, I will grant you a marriage directly. I won't believe it. How dare you resist and disobey?"
Having said this, what else could Yang Qingyuan say, with a look of despair on his face.
After the small talk, Emperor Zhou looked at Yang Qingyuan and said.
"Qingyuan, have you seen the things I asked Cao Xueyang to bring back?! Tell the truth!"
"I haven't seen it, so I don't dare to guess what it is!"
Frankly speaking, Yang Qingyuan didn't dare to say that he didn't know about such a thing.
"Little slippery man, I know, but don't dare to say it! I forgive you! Just say it!"
"I think that your Majesty's move is a little deliberate. I have many ways to distribute military pay in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since two million taels of it have been deposited in Tiandi Bank, it seems deliberate to escort these two million from the treasury."
Emperor Zhou and Yu Yanyi looked at each other and saw clearly.
"Did you infer from this that I want to transport someone else?!"
Yang Qingyuan hesitated for a moment and continued, "Actually, people have been suspicious since the time when General Zhao Tiance came to the capital. It was just a reward for the army and he could just send an angel to declare the decree. Why bother? After chatting with General Xuanwei, I
, further confirming this.”
"good!"
Emperor Zhou and Yu Yanyi were very satisfied, of course, not just with Yang Qingyuan's answer.
"You can infer from this that King Zhao's group of counselors must be similar."
When Yang Qingyuan heard this, his expression became solemn, and he thought about the whole thing again. Only then did he suddenly realize that Cao Xueyang's entry to Beijing seemed to be a bit deliberate.
"Is this..."
Yang Qingyuan said and looked at Yu Yanyi.
"Yes, this is a plan that the superiors and I made to let King Zhao know that Cao Xueyang is on the road with the military talisman. Two million taels will not be in the eyes of King Zhao, but the military talisman, King Zhao will definitely not miss it.
.”
Yang Qingyuan substituted what Yu Yanyi said into the entire incident, and the formula was established.
Only in this way can the court's behavior be considered reasonable.
"Aren't the superiors and Mr. Yu afraid that King Zhao will see through this plan?!"
Emperor Zhou smiled slightly and signaled Yu Yanyi to tell Yang Qingyuan.
"Qingyuan, the information you have is insufficient, so you made this judgment. If you knew the current situation of King Zhao, you would know that King Zhao would definitely take risks for the sake of the military talisman."
Yu Yanyi put down the tea cup, twisted his beard and said.
"The current King of Zhao, the east coast of King Zhao's fiefdom is blocked by Beihai Navy. Li Chengen's 30,000 Tiance Army has moved to the west. To the north is Jianzhou's Heishui Mohe, and to the south is the main force of Longwu Army.
Army."
Yang Qingyuan understood that the current King Zhao had no room for development. If the encirclement was formed, he would have no choice but to compete with Heishui Mohe for territorial resources, and the military talisman in Cao Xueyang's hand was the hope of breaking the situation.
With the military talisman in hand, he took the opportunity to attack again, captured the 30,000 troops of Tiance's army, disrupted and reorganized them, united with Mohe in the north, and advanced to Qingzhou in the south, thus completing his army.
This is a conspiracy. As long as King Zhao desires the military talisman, he will not be able to help but take action even if he knows there may be a scam.
