At the same time, Qinzhou, Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the study, Liu Yuzhi was sorting out official documents, unfolding and reading the rolls of bamboo slips, and then tying them up and classifying them, looking very busy.

He was working at the desk, and after a while, Shaofu Ling Jiangyi walked in, bowed down and said, "Xiangguo called me?" ”

"Ah, Lord Jiang is here." Liu Yuzhi put down the bamboo slip in his hand, picked up a letter and handed it to him: "This is from the king, take a look." ”

"Yes." Jiang Yi respectfully took it, and after taking a closer look, he hurriedly said: "Xiangguo don't worry, the next official will do it immediately." ”

Liu Yuzhi nodded, looked at him and said, "After entering the palace, pay attention to your attitude." ”

"Xiaguan understands, Xiangguo can rest assured." Jiang Yi bowed and retreated.

In this letter, Xiao Yuan confessed two things, the first was to get the holy decree of the Son of Heaven and commend Yan Zheng and others, and the second was to order the officials to immediately recommend officials to take up their posts in Anyang.

In the afternoon of the same day, the palace of the king of Qin.

"Minister, Shaofu Ling Jiangyi, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Jiang Yi knelt on the ground to salute, Shang Rui was on top, and forced himself to squeeze and laugh: "Lord Jiang is exempt, I don't know what is the matter with asking to see you today." ”

Of course, he didn't want to meet with the officials of the Qin State, but there was no way.

After Jiang Xiang finished the etiquette and got up, he got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, this time the ghost clan invaded, the Central Plains was shaken, although the allies were in the end, the war was peaceful, but during the fierce battle, many outstanding generals were spilled blood, especially Yan Zheng, in order to resist the ghost army and protect the people behind him, the five thousand soldiers of the whole army, including the main general, all died at the South Pass, and the heroism of his sacrifice must not be ignored." ”

"Yan Zheng?" Shang Rui's face showed a confused look: "Who is he?" ”

"An infantry cadet." Jiang Yi said.

"Then Lord Jiang wants to say ......"

"Please give an edict to the world, posthumously crown Yan Zheng as a martyr, and commend all the soldiers of his department."

Shang Rui didn't react a little, he still thought that what kind of general he was, so he couldn't help but say: "It's just a small step military captain, and you want to be a marquis, Lord Jiang, is this ......?"

"As the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from, although Yan Zheng has a low military rank, but his heroic sacrifice has been exchanged for the lives of millions of people, in the war to expel foreign enemies, his merits are beyond doubt, please Your Majesty."

"This ......" Shang Rui was still a little hesitant, the feudal marquis was not sealed indiscriminately, and he couldn't make an order at will just because of Jiang Yi's words.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi said expressionlessly: "This is my king's will, and I ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

"Huh? Yes, is it the meaning of King Qin? Shang Rui subconsciously asked.

"Yes." Jiang Yi was concise and respectful on the surface, but in fact, where he regarded him as the Son of Heaven, and the master in his heart, there was only Xiao Yuan.

When Shang Rui heard this, he smiled again and said, "Since it is the request of the King of Qin, there must be a reason, and I am the one who made the decree." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Yi bowed down solemnly again.

Of course, there will be no twists and turns in things here, and on the other side, the official office.

Li Zhengfang has also received the news and is considering the matter of the official's appointment.

This place in Anyang is somewhat special, first, it does not belong to Huanguo, but it is equivalent to the territory of Huanguo, and second, it is a border county.

Therefore, in the eyes of Qin officials, it is not a good thing to take office there.

Moreover, Xiao Yuan did not clearly indicate in the letter which official was appointed as the county guard, but only asked the officials to recommend it.

Judging from the political situation of the Qin State, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial History Mansion, the Four Ministries and Three Divisions are all central institutions, and Li Zhengfang's power is not small, and his recommendation will also play a certain role.

But even if he recommends a certain county and is promoted to the county guard of Anyang, it is estimated that the county will not be grateful to him, but will think that he is wearing small shoes.

Because of Anyang's location, this is also the reason for his hesitation.

Li Zhengfang is a man and likes to weigh the pros and cons, but at this time, Yang Qing'an, who is engaged in his subordinate officials, arched his hand and said: "My lord, Anyang County is a guard, not the same as other counties, if it is not handled well, not only the king will blame, but I am afraid it will also cause some people to be suspicious." ”

Knowing what he meant, Li Zhengfang had many political enemies, glanced at him and said, "What about your opinion?" ”

"The lower officials are brave, if you have the opportunity, dare to ask the adults to recommend." Yang Qing'an said directly, his current official position is from the fourth grade, and the magistrate of a county is the third grade, if he really goes to the post, this seems to be promoted, but in fact it is not, because the Ministry of Officials is a central agency, Yang Qingan is also a real Beijing official, and the prospects are very good.

But now, he took the initiative to ask to go to Anyang, a border county, Li Zhengfang heard this, and thought that there was something wrong with his ears, so he widened his eyes and said, "What did you say?" ”

"I don't know if the lower officials have the opportunity to serve as the county guard of Anyang, if they can, I hope that the adults will recommend one or two in front of the king." Yang Qingan repeated.

"This!" Li Zhengfang heard it clearly this time, but he was in a hurry, not so much that Yang Qingan was his subordinate, in fact, there was some kind of teacher-student friendship between the two of them.

In his opinion, Yang Qing'an's future is good, and there is no need to go to Anyang at all, so he said seriously: "Qing'an, you have good political achievements, and you are from the scholar family, and the king has named you before, indicating that you attach more importance to it, you are an official in the capital, and the prospects are better than those in the place, and in that place in Anyang, do you know the problem?" ”

Yang Qing'an said: "The lower officials understand that Anyang is located in the Huan realm, and it is the gateway to the invasion of the ghost clan, and the military and politics are complicated, but this is the case, the king still has to choose the county guard, and he must take this place, which shows that in the heart of the king, Anyang is very important." ”

Li Zhengfang shook his head: "Qing'an, you have the courage to do anything, I know this, but this matter is not trivial, once you go to Anyang, the future is uncertain, maybe, there are many crises." ”

"What the adults said, the lower officials have considered it, but in my opinion, these are not as important as governing Anyang." Yang Qingan insisted that the reason why this is the case is also because he has his own vision and opinions.

"This." Li Zhengfang still had worries on his face, and then shook his head: "It's not proper, it's inappropriate." ”

"Please do it, sir." Yang Qingan continued to request.

He did this again and again, and Li Zhengfang looked at him strangely: "Do you really want to take the initiative to go to Anyang?" ”

"Yes." Yang Qing'an replied simply.

Seeing that he was so insistent, Li Zhengfang thought about it, and said helplessly: "Okay, but this official here can only play a recommending role, and he has no right to appoint the county guard, and this matter depends on the king." ”

"Thank you, sir." Yang Qingan bowed down and bowed deeply.

Li Zhengfang looked at him and shook his head again and smiled bitterly.
