"Your Majesty, Marquis Changyang is here!" Eunuch Mo quickly stepped forward after hearing the report.
The Marquis of Changyang came to see him in the middle of the night. Xiao Jingheng was not surprised at all. He put down the memorial and nodded: "Let him come in."
After a while, Marquis Changyang came in and knelt on the ground: "Long live my emperor!"
Xiao Jingheng glanced sideways at the person kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Why did the Marquis come to the palace so late?"
Marquis Changyang took out a military talisman from his arms and held it high.
Eunuch Mo was stunned. How could the Marquis surrender his military power so quickly?
"I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for his kindness, and I am willing to swear allegiance to the Emperor to the death!"
Hearing this, Xiao Jingheng raised his hand in the air: "
Get up first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Marquis Changyang stood up, not daring to have any contempt for Xiao Jingheng. In terms of means, this leader was capable of both literary and military skills, and Xiao Jingheng used it to the extreme in terms of winning people's hearts.
"Let's leave this military power to you first." Xiao Jingheng did not take away the military power, which surprised Marquis Changyang.
Isn't it just for the 50,000 soldiers in his hands to go through all the trouble and sell him such a huge favor?
Jamel Xiao lightly pressed the table with one hand to make a sound, waiting for the other party to make a movement.
Changyang Marquis immediately said: "Since the emperor has already ruled the West Sea, this military power belongs to the emperor..."
"I am indeed short of troops, but it is not the 50,000 troops you have."
Xiao Jingheng stood up with a smile and walked to Marquis Changyang: "The power in Xihai is divided into pieces. What I want is to gather them together!"
Marquis Changyang lowered his eyes in shame.
"In the past, when the Yao family army commanded 200,000 troops, they opened the city gates and let people enter the city without even leaving a single soldier." The thorn in Xiao Jingheng's heart now is to find someone to replace the two wimps Yao Yuan and Yao Qingzhou!
Marquis Changyang was a little excited, and he couldn't stand these two people.
"What is the Emperor's plan?"
Xiao Jingheng has given the Yao family enough face, and it has been four days since the negotiation with Mrs. Xihaihou.
Still no news.
Therefore, Jamel Xiao does not plan to wait any longer.
"I want you to take over the military power from the Yao family army!"
Marquis Changyang was suddenly stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Jingheng's first mission to be this, and he was a little flattered.
"The western gate must be guarded by someone trustworthy, otherwise I won't trust you."
If someone comes to invade again, the Yao family will let people in, which will cause indelible harm to countless people.
"Your Majesty, the two generals of the Yao family may not listen to the ministers, and the ministers only have 50,000 troops, while the Yao family has a full 300,000."
The Marquis of Changyang had never been to the west and did not understand the situation there, so he did not dare to agree rashly.
Xiao Jingheng handed him a map: "
This is the defense map of the west. In addition, I will give you 15 million silver, and I want you to capture the two generals of the Yao family without spending a single soldier."
Changyang Marquis held the map in his hand and his eyelids twitched. How could it be so easy without spending a single soldier?
"Wei Chen..." Changyang Marquis hesitated for a long time and did not dare to respond. If he failed to do so, wouldn't his family be harmed?
Jamel Xiao saw through his mind: "Whether you succeed or not, I will not implicate innocent people."
He turned around and sat on the dragon chair again, and reminded again: "The two generals of the Yao family are afraid of catkins."
"Catkins?" Marquis Changyang was confused.
Eunuch Mo lowered his voice and reminded in the ears of Marquis Changyang: "The two generals of the Yao family have been poisoned. They cannot smell the catkins. Once they get involved, they will definitely die!"
The Marquis of Changyang suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "We will not disappoint the emperor if we accept the decree."
"Master Marquis, I am waiting for the good news of your triumphant return."
After watching the Marquis of Changyang leave, Xiao Jingheng sighed. Yu'er beside him yawned and suddenly said: "The ink of the letter written by Mrs. Xihai Marquis is extremely poisonous. As long as you open the envelope, you will definitely be infected."
This idea came to Chu Yunning. Either he persuaded the two generals of the Yao family to hand over 150,000 troops, and the Yao family and the sixteen princes were all in peace.
Or, let the gang fight against the gang, kill the Yao family father and son, and take back the 300,000 soldiers.
It's a pity that the Yao family didn't understand the situation and refused to hand over military power.
Yu'er rubbed his eyes sleepily: "
Fortunately, Sister Ning believed that Mrs. Xihaihou had prepared this move in advance, otherwise, this matter would be really difficult."
Xiao Jingheng had just finished fighting and needed to recuperate physically and mentally, and he did not want to think about internal strife and facing off against the Yao family army.
Therefore, it’s not to blame Sister Ning for playing tricks, Yu’er thought to herself.
Yao Jiajun is so cowardly that Yu'er gets angry just looking at him. He fails to accomplish anything but fails more often than not.
Listening to Yu'er praising Chu Yunning, the corners of Xiao Jingheng's mouth raised, and his mood improved inexplicably.
next day
Chu Yunning heard Bixiu mention that Marquis Changyang came to visit at midnight last night.
She was not surprised at all, and then she heard that Mrs. Xihaihou had sent a maid to wait outside the palace before dawn.
Today is the fifth day since the negotiation, and there is still no news.
Chu Yunning waved her hand: "Let the palace maid go back, I won't see you for the time being."
She believed that Xiao Jingheng must have a way to deal with Yao Jiajun and planned to give him a try.
Bixiu went to deliver a message and came back soon: "Miss, I didn't leave and said that Mrs. Hou must see you today, otherwise she will be beaten to death."
