The yellow dust quickly dissipated, covering the blood.

Zhang Daozong led people to catch up with the work of cleaning up the battlefield, and the horse thieves of Rongmi Kingdom contributed fifty-six scales and armor, thirty-four war horses, and the distribution rights were handed over to Jiang Anyi. There is a difference between the scale armor of the Western Regions craft and the fine scale armor of Da Zheng, Jiang Anyi selected ten pairs of intact ones, sent five pairs to Park Tianhao, and gave the war horse and the rest of the equipment to Jingmen Pass.

When entering the well gate, the horn sounded, the drum shook the sky, and Feng Pingzhong led the crowd to greet him. Feng Pingzhong is a stereotypical soldier, the soldier likes to see victory the most, the most trusted comrade-in-arms who can be trusted, with 20 cavalry to defeat 200 Rong Mi light cavalry, as a border general, Feng Pingzhong knows how great this is, he pays tribute to Jiang Anyi and his personal guards who returned from victory.

The official welcome banquet turned into a celebration banquet, and the caravan guards such as Park Tianhao joined, and the atmosphere was much more lively. After Jiang Anyi briefly asked about Park Tianhao's situation, he directly expressed his intention to solicit, and Park Tianhao was overjoyed, learned literary and martial arts, and sold the goods to the emperor's family. There is never a shortage of talented people in the world, but there are very few opportunities for these people.

The brothers toasted and congratulated the grinning Park Tianhao, and this group of brothers of Park Tianhao showed an inseparable life-and-death friendship on the battlefield, Jiang Anyi liked it very much, and simply smiled: "Brother Park, you brothers have a deep friendship, if they are willing, you might as well take them to Huiye Mansion to find me." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a thunderous cheer, and everyone toasted Jiang Anyi one after another. Feng Pingzhong secretly said that it was a pity, he could see clearly on the city wall, this group of men fought bravely, and with a little training, they could become good players in the army.

Once again, the merchants presented carefully selected gifts, including large boxes of precious stones, vessels inlaid with precious treasures, and fine spices and wines. Jiang Anyi took two jars of Wuli domestic dragon paste wine from the gift, and said: "Jiang, as the assassin of Huazhou, has the responsibility of Qingsu Banggi, even if Jiang receives the kindness of these two jars of wine, you can take the other things back." ”

The wealth is moving, these gifts are worth more than 5,000 taels, and Hu Shang was a little surprised to meet an official who does not love money, and he was at a loss for holding things in a daze. Fan Siben said with a smile: "This is Lord Shijiang of Huazhou, if you really thank him, you will follow the official documents of the state government and send the goods to the border market for trading." ”

This time, the Jingmen Pass labor army has gained a lot, after eating, Jiang Anyi took people back to Hecheng County, tomorrow he will leave for Yiding County, several Juntun counties have to go to see, by the way, the history of the assassination of the inspection of the county, visit the responsibility of the people's suffering.

Sending Jiang Anyi away, Feng Pingzhong truthfully wrote an official letter to Yang Xiangliang, the governor of Anxi, and Yang Xiangliang forwarded Feng Pingzhong's report to the military department three days later.

Among the six departments, the Yamen of the Ministry of War is the most strict, the square in front of the Yamen is planted with the red flag pole, the two bluestone lions are about far apart, the stone steps are densely packed with tethered horse piles on both sides, sixteen warriors stand in front of the gate in front of the left and right straddle the sword, the vermilion gate between the three bays is open, and the generals who come in and out are mostly bright in armor, the sound of riding boots is loud, and the loud voice often sounds. The people who led the soldiers were rude, asked for soldiers, food, and equipment, and slapped the table and threw the bench if they didn't agree with each other, and the yamen of the military department was very lively.

There is a small cross door on the left side of the yamen, there are samurai guards in front of the door, and the idlers are not allowed to enter, here is the public office of the military department and the two squires, enter the door, Cangsong, Xiuzhu, Lao Mei, three friends gather in a courtyard, the sound of birdsong is more and more quiet in the courtyard.

He Zhiquan entered the courtyard, first stood in front of the steps and listened to the birdsong, calmed down the noisy brain, and sighed in his heart, how long would he have to stay up before he could work in this courtyard. In the middle of the small courtyard is the official office of Shangshu Ding Dawei, at this moment Ding Shangshu is still discussing in the Zichen Palace, He Langzhong walked to the left, and the left waiter Lang Pu Liangzuo's official office.

The door was open, and Park Shilang was commenting on an official document, when he saw He Langzhong come in and salute, he smiled and said, "Lao He, something?" ”

"Lord Park, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate sent a copy of the merit, I can't handle it for sure, please take a look." He Zhiquan handed over the fold with both hands and sat down next to Park Liangzuo's gaze.

Pu Liangzuo opened the recital, quickly scanned it, frowned, and reprimanded: "Ridiculous, going out of the customs without permission, going against the will of the first emperor, not only is it useless but also guilty." Yang Dudu is an old soldier, and it is impossible not to even know the ban during the reign of Emperor Jing, so he should be severely reprimanded. ”

He Zhiquan persuaded: "Lord Pu, the ban during the reign of Emperor Jing was that the border army was not allowed to go out of the customs for no reason, Jiang Tingshi was not a border army, he led a personal guard, not to mention that Jiang Tingshi won more than 200 horse thieves in Rong Miguo with 20 horses, and also captured 56 light cavalry, including one silver guard and one bronze guard, this is a great achievement, and it is related to Huazhou, my lord should think more before making a conclusion." ”

Pu Liangzuo was silent, when Huangsha Guan rewarded Liao Jianhui, he dealt with Jiang Anyi, this Jiang Zhuangyuan was born right and wrong, a good thing was stirred up by him into a disaster, he was reprimanded by the Son of Heaven in the Zichen Palace, the "two stunned" had a good life, and he refuted the king but entered the emperor's heart, and in just a few years, he became a thorn in the history of the town, which is really jealous.

He Zhiquan has a close relationship with him, and the meaning of the words is that Pu Liangzuo understands that the four words related to Huazhou refer to the impeachment of Jiang Anyi for blocking the trade route in Huazhou a month ago, and the ministers made it difficult to force the Son of Heaven to punish Jiang Anyi, and as a result, Lu Jialin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was scolded by the Son of Heaven for being immoral, vomited blood on the spot, and is still sick in bed. If you take the liberty of reprimanding the following, you may go against the will of the Son of Heaven, and the next unlucky person may be yourself.

Thinking of this, Pu Liangzuo smiled and said: "What He Langzhong said is that this matter is related to Emperor Jing's edict, and it is related to the history of the Huazhou Assassin, and it is not easy for this official to make up his mind, so I will go to Zichen Hall to ask the Son of Heaven to show it." ”

Zichen Palace, Shi Fang is really in a good mood. On September 15, the dynasty will attack Lu Jialin, and the arrogance of the family will be stagnant, and the elbow control in the court will be invisibly reduced a lot, which makes Shi Fang really wonder if he should have an attack from time to time.

Ding Dawei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is investigating the situation in the Northern Desert by the Ministry of Justice, "...... Batu Ushi has been drowning for a breath, and he can't survive this winter. His two sons, Kunbo and Liman, each led their men and stationed them on the east and west sides of the Northern Desert royal court, and only waited for Batu Wushi to announce who would succeed him before he could breathe his last breath before he went to war. ”

Shi Fangzhen shook his head and smiled: "Batu Wushi is also a male lord, but it's a pity that his son wants to learn from the Great Qi of the Warring States Period, 'Ignoring the mortuary and attacking each other'?" Who did Batu Wushi's Golden Wolf Army hand it over? ”

"At present, I don't know, it is estimated that the control of the Golden Wolf Army will not be handed over until Batu Wushi announces the successor, otherwise the two brothers will fight first before he breathes." Ding Dawei continued: "The staff secretary reported that Prince Liman begged Da Zheng for assistance through Princess Lihua, hoping to support him with ordnance and rations, and promised to pay tribute to Da Zheng with his nephew after obtaining the throne of Khan. ”

"Okay", Shi Fangzhen stood up excitedly and said, "Let the people of the staff department might as well promise him first, wait for their brothers to fight, and then see the situation to decide, try to intensify the internal fighting in the Northern Desert, and when they are both defeated, it will be the time of my northern expedition." ”

The little eunuch came in and reported: "Lord Pu Liang Zuopu, the squire of the military department, asks to see him." ”

The important ministers of Zichen Hall are discussing matters, and they will not ask to see him if there is no major matter, Shi Fangzhen said: "Let him come in." ”

Pu Liangzuo entered the hall to give a salute and said loudly: "The Anxi Protectorate sent a letter of invitation, saying that Jiang Anyi, the assassin of Huazhou, led the guards to attack at Jingmen Pass and repelled 200 Rong Mi light cavalry, because Jiang Anyi is a civil official, and Emperor Jing has a will to guard the customs soldiers not to go out easily, and it is difficult for the ministers to decide, please long live." ”

Jiang Anyi again, Shi Fangzhen had a headache, patted his forehead lightly and said, "Pu Qing will read the song to everyone." ”

Pu Liangzuo read it aloud, and before the ministers could speak, Shi Fangzhen was overjoyed and said with a smile: "This Jiang Anyi, really not a peaceful master, ran to Jingmen Pass Labor Army and also made some military exploits by the way, he is a civil official, and he has made military exploits, don't you really imagine that he wrote in his own poem 'If a scholar is a marquis of ten thousand households', hehe, with twenty personal guards to repel two hundred Rong Mi light cavalry, kill fifty-six people, including silver and bronze guards, which makes my generals embarrassed." Hahahaha. ”

Hearing the Son of Heaven laughing loudly, Park Liangzuo secretly rejoiced that he didn't reprimand hastily, otherwise he would be unlucky in the end.

Ding Dawei said respectfully: "Long live, the minister thinks that Jiang Anyi is bold and reckless, disobeying the will of the first emperor, although there is a small merit but a big mistake, please long live the decree and punishment." ”

Shi Fangzhen said disapprerovingly: "When the ancestor Emperor Jingdi was in the Western Regions for many years, there were continuous natural disasters in the territory, and the court was short of soldiers and food, so the ancestor would issue an order not to allow the border army to go out of the customs, and it was based on sticking to it. Now that the situation has changed, it is the time for Xue Shame to take revenge, how can he still restrain the border army from holding on. Listen, the Jingmen Pass, where 3,000 people were stationed, actually watched 200 Rong Mi thieves slaughter my people for several miles outside the pass, and there was no blood at all, can such a soldier rest assured that he will lead them north to conquer the desert? ”

Thinking that for more than 80 years since Emperor Jing, Da Zheng has been suffering from the Northern Desert and the Western Regions, Shi Fangzhen's words gradually became severe, and he said sharply: "Spread the decree, abolish the ban of the ancestor Emperor Jing not allowing the border army to take the initiative to go out to kill the enemy. ”

"Jiang Anyi has merit in killing the enemy, and I want to reward him." Shi Fangzhen pondered for a moment and said, "Jiang Anyi temporarily rationalized the history of the state with the fifth grade, and was promoted to the fourth grade. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhijie immediately said: "Long live, no." Jiang Anyi acted recklessly, although he made a small contribution, but as Ding Shangshu said, he disobeyed the will of Emperor Jing, long live before this will was abolished, Jiang Anyi had been there, if he added a reward, I am afraid that others would not take the will of the Son of Heaven to heart. The minister thought that not only could not be rewarded, but should also be severely reprimanded. ”

Chen Xiang, Kong Xiang and others have spoken out to persuade the Son of Heaven to withdraw the reward.

Shi Fangzhen said with a smile: "People who don't know still think that Yu Aiqing and Jiang Anyi have a holiday, just according to what you said." Passing on the decree, Jiang Anyi was unruly in his duties, meddling in affairs, disobeying Emperor Jing's will, reciting micro merits, and being punished lightly and fined for three years. ”

The ministers smiled bitterly, what is this a severe reprimand, the words are full of love, and the fine is three years, what is it to Jiang Anyi, forget it, the Son of Heaven is happy.

Shi Fangzhen thought for a while and said: "Jiang Anyi should be punished, but the soldiers who go out with him can be meritorious, and they can't be rewarded, let Jiang Anyi report the meritorious ones who went out to the battle, and promote two people to be Renyong Captain (Zheng Jiupin), and five people are Captain Rong (from Jiupin)." In addition, let Jiang Anyi pay 2,000 taels of silver to reward these meritorious soldiers for me. ”

The previous time I just rewarded Jiang Anyi's personal guards with ten positions of deputy lieutenants (from Jiupin), and now they have been given seven official positions, and it won't be long before Jiang Anyi's personal guards will become captains, Ding Dawei hurriedly wanted to stop it, Shi Fangzhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Disperse, I'm a little hungry." This Jiang Anyi really makes me feel uneasy, hahahaha. ”

The Son of Heaven left, leaving behind a string of happy laughter, making the sunshine of the entire Yongchang City a little brighter.
