After Zhang Hong withdrew, Xiao Cheng's cheap father-in-law Yang Xuanyan stepped forward without saying a word, cupped his hands and said:
"His Majesty……"
"Marquis An Ningting also has something to report?"
Yang Xuanyan took out a tiger charm from his sleeve and said helplessly:
"I am a scholar and have no knowledge of military strategy. During this period, I commanded the imperial army. Although I did not make a mess, I was exhausted both mentally and physically and could only barely maintain it. Therefore, I ask your Majesty to take back my right to command the troops in the capital."
Previously, Xiao Cheng had not many people he could trust. Therefore, he had no choice but to push Yang Xuanyan away and hand over the military power in Beijing to him.
In fact, the daily drills and patrols of the soldiers and horses in the capital have long been stipulated. The patrol camp, the city defense camp, the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and the forbidden army all have their own responsibilities and restrain each other.
Unless all the generals from the three parties collude to plot rebellion, there will be no big chaos in the capital that cannot be quelled. All Yang Xuanyan has to do is to sit in the army just in case. As for whether he understands military strategy, it actually has no influence.
Not big.
The reason why Yang Xuanyan is rushing to hand over his military power now is because his Yang family's status is really special.
Although he was just a pavilion prince and not very powerful, during the period when he was in command of the army, all the powerful generals in the army respected him very much.
The main reason for this is that several of his sons-in-law are the children of ministers in the court and the military, and their in-laws are all civil servants and generals. He also has a little daughter who is very favored in the palace.
Under such circumstances, if he were to take over the military power in Beijing again, he would have no objection after a long time, but His Majesty may not necessarily think so.
His in-law, Ma Minwen, had mentioned this matter to him a long time ago. For the sake of his family's wealth and lives, he decided to hand over his military power today.
When Xiao Cheng saw this, he didn't show any surprised expression.
With Ma Minwen's intelligence and prudence, Xiao Cheng had long expected that Yang Xuanyan would hand over military power. And even if Yang Xuanyan was not so conscious, Xiao Cheng himself would find a way to remind him.
Xiao Cheng nodded and said warmly:
"This is something I didn't consider before. After all, Marquis Anning Ting is a scholar and has no knowledge of military strategy. I had no one at hand before, so I had no choice but to let you command and control the soldiers and horses of the army. It is really my fault to let Marquis Ting work for so long.
Neglected!"
When Yang Xuanyan heard this, he saluted quickly and said he did not dare.
Xiao Cheng stretched out his hand to signal him to excuse himself, and then said:
"Marquis An Ning Ting maintained order in the capital, and for his hard work and meritorious service, he was promoted to Marquis of An Ning Township, and his settlement was increased to 2,000 households! In addition, he was given ten golden flowers, ten pearls, and five thousand taels of silver as reward for his efforts."
When Yang Xuanyan heard this, he quickly leaned over and declined, saying:
"My merits are meager, but I am worthy of receiving such a reward. Please take it back, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice:
"This is the reward the country prince deserves!"
In fact, this reward is too heavy based on Yang Xuanyan's merits. Even if it is used as compensation for taking back military power, it is too much.
But Ma Minwen, Qu Cheng, and even Zhang Hong, who had just advised Xiao Cheng not to spend money lavishly, showed no reaction.
Xiao Cheng only promoted his title, but did not arrange other duties in the court. The deep meaning of this was that he wanted him to be a wealthy and idle person at home from now on, and not to go out.
The Yang family's daughter connected several families through in-laws and made great contributions to Xiao Cheng's stabilization of the court. Xiao Cheng remembered this.
But it is precisely because he remembers their contributions that Xiao Cheng needs to start restricting these companies and gradually weakening their influence. This is good for both Xiao Cheng and them.
Anyone present who was interested understood Xiao Cheng's meaning after thinking about it for a moment, and naturally no one spoke out against it.
When Yang Xuanyan saw Xiao Cheng's insistence, his in-law Ma Minwen, who had always told him to keep a low profile, did not dissuade him, so he had no choice but to kneel down and thank him.
Feng Bao took the tiger talisman from Yang Xuanyan, held it in both hands and handed it to Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng took the tiger talisman, fumbled with it for a while, then placed it on the royal table, turned to look at Di Qing, and said in a deep voice:
"Di Qing, you have made outstanding achievements in the past. I will promote you to General Wu Xiang and command the camp on the outskirts of Beijing!"
In fact, if Di Qing was not too young and had insufficient qualifications and credit, he would even have the idea of handing over all the troops in the capital to his control.
Di Qing, who had lowered his head and said nothing, suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiao Cheng, with a look of astonishment on his face, and said:
"The general's qualifications are shallow and he may not be able to take on important responsibilities. Please, Your Majesty..."
"I have always been eclectic in employing people, and I was able to annihilate Ganye Temple before. You should be the first to do it. If you are judged on your merits, being promoted to a general with a minor title is nothing!" Xiao Cheng interrupted Di Qing's words and replied.
Previously, Xiao Cheng didn't make much use of him and only used the position of captain. That was because Di Qing had no merit and could not be directly promoted.
But now when he was annihilating Ganye Temple, he used hundreds of soldiers and horses to surround the entire Ganye Temple in an orderly manner, with tight defenses, showing his ability to control. Later, with his ninth-level cultivation, he blocked the entire Ganye Temple with all his strength.
Experts from Ganye Temple raided.
Such means and ability are enough to shut up some people!
After all, how much does a ninth-level master cost in the world? What's more, Di Qing is a general who is proficient in military strategy and can lead troops in battle. It is the right thing to make an exceptional promotion!
Di Qing opened his mouth, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
It was nothing to be promoted to a general with a mixed title. What made him embarrassed was to command the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
If Di Qing joins the army, it will only last for two months. In the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, there are all arrogant and powerful generals, and I am afraid they will be dissatisfied with him.
Xiao Cheng could naturally see why Di Qing was worried, but he knew Di Qing's methods. In history, when he conquered Nong Zhigao, the army under his command was also full of mountains, provoking troubles. In the end, he did not use harsh methods.
The army has been integrated.
When Di Qing saw this, he finally fell silent, cupped his hands and saluted:
"General, thank you for your trust, I will live up to your majesty's great trust!"
Xiao Cheng nodded and turned his attention to Yang Dayan again.
Yang Dayan's contribution this time is not small. He led hundreds of Miao soldiers and caused the Li Dynasty army to lose more than ten thousand soldiers and horses. It also caused an earth-shaking commotion in the Li Dynasty country.
If given the choice, Xiao Cheng would really like to keep him in the capital to command the city defense camp or the imperial army.
But unfortunately, he is from the Yang family.
I just took the military power from Yang Xuanyan, and then gave it to Yang Dayan. Isn’t this just taking off his pants and farting? It’s unnecessary!
But it would be a waste for such a character to just stay with him as a bodyguard.
Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment and then said immediately:
"Yang Big Eyes!"
When Yang Dayan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"The end is here!"
"I will promote you to the rank of Pingman General. You will be commanded by 10,000 Miao soldiers and 20,000 border troops. A total of 30,000 troops will be stationed in Xiushan County to guard the southeastern border to prevent the Li Dynasty from attacking again!"
The behavior of the Li Dynasty is a little strange, and it is necessary to arrange for trusted generals to lead the troops and go to garrison them.
Although Yang Dayan's command is not high, it is still passable. Judging from Li Chao's poor military ethics, he probably won't be able to make any tricks, so it should be enough.
When Yang Dayan heard this, the scene of ambushing the Li army in the mountains suddenly resounded in his mind. He couldn't help but show excitement on his face, and he immediately raised his hands and said:
"I accept your order, thank you Your Majesty!"
After the explanation was completed, all the ministers retired and left, except Ma Minwen who stayed until the end.
"Is there anything else?" As soon as Xiao Cheng saw that Ma Minwen had stayed behind, he knew that he had something to say to him.
Ma Minwen took out a Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman from his pocket and asked Feng Bao to bring it to Xiao Cheng, saying:
"Your Majesty, please take a look!"
[Yin Yang Fish Jade Talisman, One Star Treasure
Introduction: Carved from beautiful jade, engraved with Yin and Yang pairs of fishes, it is a token of the Yin and Yang family among hundreds of scholars.
Wearing effect: none]
Yin Yang family token?
Xiao Cheng frowned and looked at Ma Minwen.
Ma Minwen thought that Xiao Cheng didn't know what it was, so he explained:
"Your Majesty, this is a keepsake of the Yin Yang family."
Xiao Cheng touched the jade talisman in his hand and said:
"Stop being so pretentious! Why is this thing in your hands?"
"Sang Pan, a member of the Yin Yang family, sent this token to me, hoping that I would introduce him to His Majesty for them!"
Sang Pan is the middle-aged man who is the leader of the students of the Yin Yang family.
Xiao Cheng frowned and asked with interest:
"The Yin and Yang family are here because of Wang Xiao's matter?"
Wang Xiao is also from the Yin Yang family.
These various factions have never entered the land of Tiannan. Now that the Yin Yang family members suddenly came, Xiao Cheng could not think of any other possibility except for Wang Xiao's matter.
When Ma Minwen heard this, he immediately explained:
"Your Majesty, Sang Pan told me that I am not here for Wang Xiao's affairs. I just heard about your majesty's reputation and wanted to..."
He paused and then continued:
"There were rumors that Wang Xiao was not close to his fellow disciples at that time, so there were not many people from the disciples around him to help him."
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he pondered for a moment, then waved his hands and said:
"It's just for Wang Xiao's business, it doesn't matter... Okay, you can bring someone to see me tomorrow!"
Xiao Cheng's Jixia Academy was built for these people from various schools of thought. Even if they didn't come, Xiao Cheng would send someone to invite them.
Moreover, Xiao Cheng is now wearing the Furious Dragon Sword, and his cultivation level is rare in the world. Even if the Yin and Yang family has different intentions, how can they still defeat him in the palace, under the protection of the masters of the Forbidden Army?
When Ma Minwen heard this, he immediately raised his hands and said:
"Yes, I will arrange it now!"
Xiao Cheng nodded, but said again:
"In addition, the leader of the Za family, Jin Shengyuan, and the leader of the family, Mr. You, are also called."
You Lao is You Xingguang's old man, and he is now the talker of the family.
Ma Minwen immediately handed over his hands and stepped back slowly.
Seeing Ma Minwen retreat, Feng Bao asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, do you need your servant to check on the people coming from the Yin Yang family and their whereabouts?"
Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"This Sang Pan is a person sent by the Yin Yang family. If such a person wants to conceal his whereabouts, your Dongchang will not be able to trace him for the time being! Don't worry about it for now. Their purpose will be known when we see him tomorrow."
Feng Bao immediately bowed and nodded in agreement.
Xiao stood up from the throne, stretched, and swayed out of the Yangxin Hall.
