It seems that it is an ironclad matter for Huangfu Song to take command of the expedition, but there is one person in the court who is not very happy, and that is Zhao Zhong, the tenth permanent servant.

I think that Huangfu Song confiscated one of his own mansions in Yecheng, Jizhou, the house is small, and the face is big! Zhao Zhong has always hated and hated him, and Huangfu Song was slapping himself. Since that incident, there have been far fewer officials who even honor themselves. If Huangfu Song is allowed to go out smoothly this time, his old face will be lost, and he will not want to straighten his waist again in the future.

Zhao Zhong's eyes rolled, and he bowed to Emperor Ling with a sneer on his face and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave also thinks that the old general of Huangfu can be in this position!" ”

"Oh?" Emperor Ling turned his head, looked at Zhao Zhong next to him and asked, "Mother, let's talk about it!" ”

As soon as they heard Emperor Ling call Zhao Zhong "Mother" in the dynasty, His Royal Highness couldn't help frowning and looked at Zhao Zhong, Zhao Zhong smiled even more happily: "Emperor Qi, when the old general of Huangfu was appointed as the pastor of Jizhou, the people once said: The world is in chaos, the city is in ruins, the mother does not protect her sons, her wife loses her husband, and the emperor is restored to live in peace!" General Huangfu's achievements are high, if he can go out to Huangzhong again, he will be able to ensure the stability and peace of the northwest, and the people's hearts will be attached! ”

Zhao Zhong's plan can not be described as poisonous, he does not say that Huangfu Song is bad, but infinitely praises Huangfu Song is good, every emperor hopes that his ministers are all civil and military all-rounders, what do you want, but there must be no people's hearts!

Where the people's hearts belong is the world's belongings, and the most taboo for ancient and modern emperors is the ministers to whom the people's hearts belong.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the Spirit Emperor frowned and thought about it. His Royal Highness's ministers sank in their hearts, and they couldn't help but secretly scold Zhao Zhonglai.

After a while, Emperor Ling spoke: "Although the general of the chariot cavalry is the humerus of the imperial court, he is very old, and I really can't bear to let the old general enter the bitter cold land in the northwest again, and the Qing family can recommend others." ”

After saying a word, Zhao Zhong bowed down again and said: "There is one old slave, this person has both civil and military skills, and he can take on this responsibility!" ”

"Who?" The Spirit Emperor raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhao Zhong glanced at the people and replied: "Cao Peng, a soldier of the General's Mansion: Guan Yan! ”

In Zhao Zhong's opinion, although he has exploded the hatred of Huangfu Song, since he has accepted He Jin's gift, of course he has to help He Jin say something, and praise He Jin's people can be regarded as giving He Jin face.

After He Jin listened, he thought quickly in his mind: Guan Yan, as a soldier of the General's Mansion Cao Peng, is already my He Jin's person, and now the emperor is wary of Huangfu Song, why not take this opportunity to support Guan Yan on the throne, I can also have a strong reinforcement outside.

Thinking of this, He Jin bowed down and said, "The minister has no objection!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Kui stepped forward and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not, send a soldier Cao Peng to be the commander, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by the barbarians!" ”

Yuan Kui and other party members are to make the contradictions between He Jin's faction and the surrounding factions aggravate, but they don't want He Jin to grow stronger, if Huang Fu Song's apprentice Guan Yan is used as the commander, not only He Jin's strength will grow, but He Jin and Huang Fu Song's Guan Yan will also be reconciled as before. This is what Yuan Kui never wants to see.

The question raised by Yuan Kui was a matter of face, and all the emperors regarded face as a big problem, and when Emperor Han Ling heard this, his brows that had just stretched became tangled again.

Zhang Rang, who had not spoken, laughed, took a step forward, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has always heard that there is a grand event every month among the scholars, called 'Yuedan Commentary'!" ”

Emperor Ling nodded: "I have also heard that Xu Shaozhi's evaluation is still very accurate. ”

"It is said that last time, Xu Zijiang commented on Guan Yan as a person who 'regained Han', and vomited three liters of blood after the evaluation, and he is still in a coma."

Emperor Ling Qi said: "Xu Zijiang actually rated Guan Yan as the person who 'regained the Han Dynasty'? Emperor Han Ling thought for a while and said: "Although Xu Zijiang is a person outside the court, he is very famous, and his words have never been false, summoned: Order Guan Yan to go to the palace quickly!" ”

Emperor Ling said, and a little yellow gate hurriedly received the order to go out of the palace and summon him.

Looking at the background of Xiao Huangmen's hurried departure, Zhang Rang retreated to the side of Emperor Ling, looked at He Jin with deep meaning and smiled, meaning to say: General, what you gave me was not in vain.

He Jin understood, gave a look in return, and then stood still.

It is said that in the General's Mansion, Guan Yan was sitting alone in the room studying the "Taiping Technique", when he suddenly heard a sharp voice outside: "The General's Mansion soldier Cao Peng Guan Yan took the order!" ”

When Guan Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly put away the "Taiping Technique" and ran towards the hall.

Xiao Huangmen stood in the hall with his head held high, Guan Yan stepped in, knelt down and said, "Cao Peng, a soldier of the General's Mansion of the Xiaguan Lord." ”

Xiao Huangmen glanced at Guan Yan, who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "The emperor's edict: order Guan Yan to go to the palace quickly." Chin this! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Guan Yan stood up, took a step forward and cautiously asked Xiao Huangmen, "Does the little father-in-law know what the emperor recruited me?" ”

Xiao Huangmen's serious application instantly turned into a spring breeze, and after being a servant for so many years, Xiao Huangmen still has this eyesight: Zhang Gong, Zhao Gong, and the general recommended this person, this person's future is limitless, and it is better not to offend.

Xiao Huangmen replied with a smile: "Master Guan, the slave didn't hear it just now, it seems to be about the commander of the Western Expedition." ”

Expedition to the West? What does this matter to me? Guan Yan was puzzled in his heart, and after a while, he arched his hand at the little yellow door and said, "Dare to ask the little father-in-law's surname?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the palace envoy calls the family as Xiaoyezi."

"It turned out to be Gonggong Ye, disrespectful and disrespectful!" As he spoke, Guan Yan took out two gold ingots from his sleeve and stuffed them into Xiao Yezi's hands.

"Oh, you're welcome!" Xiao Yezi took the gold ingot, slid it into his big sleeve, and smiled even more happily: "Master Guan quickly follow me, the emperor is afraid to wait in a hurry!" ”

"Yes, yes, father-in-law, please!" Guan Yan turned to one side, and the two got into the car with a smile and a smile.

Xiao Yezi collected his things, and carefully explained the etiquette of entering the palace for Guan Yan along the way. Guan Yan listened carefully, and he was really useful, if he was guilty of being rude in front of the palace, it would be worth the loss.

Unconsciously, they had come to the front of the palace, except for the heroes authorized by the emperor, everyone in the palace had to walk on foot, so the two got out of the car and walked into the main gate of the majestic Han Palace.

After about a stick of incense, the two came to the main hall of the South Palace-Deyang Palace.

Xiao Yezi said softly, "Master Guan later." With that, he walked carefully through the side door into the Deyang Palace.

After a while, a loud and shrill voice came from the hall: "General Xuanda's Mansion soldier Cao Peng Guan Yan has come to see you!" ”

After hearing this, Guan Yan bowed down and stepped into the Deyang Palace, walked to the middle of the main hall, and bowed to Emperor Han Ling, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said: "Minister, Cao Peng, a soldier of the General's Mansion, knocks on my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
