This endless controversy between the two kings in the imperial study, with the clapping of Emperor Liyang, finally became a foregone conclusion.

Qi He, the general of Liguo and Zhengdong, was appointed as the envoy of the frontier pacification, Yan Kui, the general of Pingbei, and Cao Yuanjiang, the general of Pingxi, served as the deputy envoys, and four deputy generals, several subordinate officers, and 10,000 soldiers were sent to form the yamen of the pacification envoy.

As for the location of the Yamen of the pacification envoy, Emperor Liyang did not choose to set it up in Hongyang, Beiling, and Nanling, but chose to be in the general pass, the base camp of the Jin army.

Emperor Liyang's apparent meaning is that the general is close to the two mansions of Nanling and Beiling, located in a dangerous position, and the pacification envoy in the rear during the war commands the commander and commands the border army to fight.

However, everyone present understood that the reason why the pacification envoy Yamen was chosen at the Jiangjun Pass was convenient for command, and it was one thing to sit in the rear, and more importantly, the Jiangjun Pass was close to the capital.

The frontier pacification envoy is in charge of the border army, and the imperial court cannot but take precautions, and the pacification envoy office is set up in the general pass, which can be isolated from the three border prefectures to a certain extent.

At that time, the pacification envoy will have the command authority of the border army, but it will not be convenient to have direct contact with the military power, which will relatively weaken the control of the pacification envoy over the border army, so as to prevent the other party from turning against him.

Moreover, the general pass is close to the capital, and the imperial court can monitor it, in case something is wrong, it can react immediately from here, and then command the troops of the Yongzhou government to surround and suppress it.

The General Pass is the Xiongguan of the Northern Jin Dynasty, but it is not the inside of the Imperial Palace, and it is difficult to attack the General Pass from the border of the North and South Erling, but if it is counterattacked from the direction of the capital, the difficulty of attacking will be greatly reduced.

In this way, setting up the pacification embassy at the General Pass, not to talk about other aspects, is very worry-free for the court itself.

As soon as Emperor Liyang's words came out, the ministers all agreed, and Emperor Liyang struck while the iron was hot and settled down the rest of the pacification envoys.

Then he summoned the Hanlin Scholars, drew up the decree, and prepared it to be issued tomorrow.

…………

Emperor Liyang was arbitrary, this matter was a foregone conclusion, and the ministers had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, and they didn't dare to anger Long Yan, so they had to disperse in all directions.

In fact, for this result, the vast majority of the neutrals are still absolutely good, and the dissatisfied Duanwang and Jingwang parties.

Duanwang felt that there was only one deputy envoy of Yan Kui, and he had actual military power in his hands, under one person in the border army, above ten thousand people, and the power was monstrous.

But now there is another deputy envoy, although he has no military power, he has also divided a lot of Yan Kui's power, and more importantly, this deputy envoy has a lot of background, which has added a lot of constraints to their plan to win over the border army.

King Jing and the others were also very upset, they spent so much effort that they did not hesitate to risk using the dark line in the palace, but in the end, Yan Kui became the deputy envoy as he wished.

Although there is another deputy envoy, who doesn't know that the Cao family is loyal to the royal family and never stands in line with the succession.

Even if Yan Kui's real power has checks and balances, he is still the second-in-command of the border army, and with his help, Duanwang's strength will inevitably increase greatly.

The two princes, together with the ministers of the two parties, put on a dead face, and left the palace with a snort.

However, there are those who are unhappy, and soon after, the holy decree was issued, and the Liguo Mansion and the British Mansion learned that their own Guogong (Shizi) had been promoted to important positions, and the whole palace was full of joy.

Among them, it is good to be away from the Guogong Mansion, after all, Qi He is the general of Zhengdong, and he is deeply trusted by Emperor Liyang, and he has experienced a lot of holy graces in recent years. Although I am happy now, I can still win more or less, but the British government is different.

Since the old country has been in the past, the British government has been low-key, and it has not been a big event for a long time, and the last time there was a promotion decree, it was Cao Yuanjiang who was promoted to general Pingxi.

It's a pity that after Cao Yuanjiang was promoted, he never received a heavy responsibility, but only hung up an idle post in the military department, and the other Cao family brothers, although they occasionally made inches, have never been ranked in the third rank, and they have never really held any important positions.

Until today, Cao Yuanjiang has been appointed as the third-in-command of the border army, and compared with before, it can be said that he has soared to the sky, and the British public is naturally overjoyed.

…………

The British Mansion, the main hall in the backyard

This year, he is seventy-eight years old and has a white beard, but his spirit is very strong, he looked at the eldest grandson Cao Yuanjiang in front of him with a smile, and his voice was embarrassed.

"The old man thought that today, my Cao family will stop here, I don't want the emperor's grace to be vast, Your Majesty is merciful, after all, I still haven't forgotten my Cao family.

Jiang'er, when you arrive at the frontier, you must do a good job and be on duty wholeheartedly, so as to live up to Your Majesty's grace. ”

Cao Yuanjiang hurriedly responded: "Grandpa rest assured, grandson can be saved." ”

The old man nodded, he was still very relieved about this eldest grandson, Cao Yuanjiang had a square temperament, was calm, and meticulous in his work.

Because of this, the old prince will value this eldest grandson, and ask him to be named the son, so that after a hundred years, Cao Yuanjiang can take the British Duke Cao's family to live a stable life, and it will be extended for a hundred generations.

The grandfather and grandson were talking, and the housekeeper came to report, and the general Peng Kuohai came, and the old prince was overjoyed when he heard it.

"Hurry up, please."

After a while, Peng Kuohai, who was much thinner and older than the general officer, entered the door with a smile on his face and a big red brocade robe, and said with a big smile.

"Brother, brother is here to say good news to you."

"Haha, the old man also said, why did you come to the door this year, it turned out that you came to my house to be happy." The old man pointed at Peng Kuohai and scolded with a smile.

Peng Kuohai was not angry when he heard this, he found a seat and sat down, and picked up the teacup casually.

Previously, when Peng Laoshuai was in the General Pass against the Zhou army, he was plotted by the Western Zhou Prosecutor's Office, and Luo Yan was highly poisoned in his body, and later after being saved by the imperial doctor, although his life was saved, his body was also damaged a lot, and he is still recuperating in Beijing.

But Peng Kuohai is a person who can't sit still, he can't stand staying at home to recuperate, and from time to time he finds opportunities to come out to hang out and breathe, resulting in his body not getting better.

Today, when he heard that there was a happy event in the British government, Peng Kuohai forcibly broke through the "blockade line" of the Tai Hospital and slipped out on the pretext of saying good news to his old friend.

…………

Peng Shuai drank a cup of tea, then glanced up and down at Cao Yuanjiang, for the sake of his old friend's descendants, he had the heart to mention a few words.

"That guy Qi He doesn't need to say much, you two are also old acquaintances, you know the roots, and you will be the same official in the future, he will be the main and you as the deputy, just be more respectful.

As for Yan Kui, who was also your deputy envoy, he was also under the command of the old man before, but I don't know much about him, I only know that although this person has a low background, he acts quite magnificently, and he is a fierce general who can fight tough battles.

If it is not necessary, try not to confront this person as much as possible, it's not that the old man underestimates you, you have been fighting in front of your grandfather for more than these years, and in terms of scheming, you are not comparable to this kind of ruthless person who kills from the pile of dead people.

What's more, Yan Kui is Di Yi's cronies, Di Fuzheng is now a general, and the military will respect him, if he is biased towards Yan Kui, the county officials are not as good as the current management, even if your grandfather makes a move, you can't please him.

Leave these two out, the rest don't be too nervous, they are your subordinates, you are the son of a British princess, your grandfather is still here, and there will be no trouble for you. ”

The old man has been smiling and listening to the side, and when Peng Kuohai finished speaking, he said to the eldest grandson: "Thank you Grandpa Peng, what he said is from the bottom of his heart, it is for your own good, not that our own people will not speak at all."

In the future, when you arrive at the General Pass, when you deal with your colleagues, you should also think more about your Grandpa Peng's words. ”

Of course, Cao Yuanjiang knew what was wrong, so he leaned over and hurriedly thanked Peng Kuohai, and the old man waved his hand.

"Don't be so polite, if you really want to thank me, just fight for some anger and work hard at the border, don't lose the face of the British government, my old brother is wise and wise, coercing the Three Kingdoms, and the name cannot be ruined in the hands of you juniors."

Cao Yuanjiang's expression was serious: "Grandpa Peng, rest assured, Yuanjiang will die, and he will not dare to damage the prestige of the Cao family." ”

"If you have this ambition, that's great."

Peng Kuohai nodded with satisfaction, he and Lao Guogong have been friends for many years, and they have a deep relationship, so they know what Cao Wei thinks.

If it weren't for the worries about the future of his children and grandchildren, I am afraid that he would have left to return to the West.

The good thing is that there are successors of the Cao family, but what I am afraid of is that the children and grandchildren will not be good and cause disasters, which can prevent the pressure in the hearts of the children and grandchildren, and the old man is not good to persuade him directly.

Peng Kuohai, as Cao Wei's old friend, is convenient to help with one or two points from the side.

…………

After gossiping again, Cao Yuanjiang retreated, leaving Peng Kuohai and his brothers alone to catch up.

The old man looked at the back of his eldest grandson leaving, and glanced at Peng Kuohai gratefully: "Today, the old man is considered to have accepted your love, alas, the children and grandchildren are all debts, and I have to worry about them every day at this age." ”

"It's all the same."

Peng Kuohai smiled and said with relief: "I also know that this kid Yuanjiang is not a troublemaker, and besides, the border army has a lot to do, and ordinary people don't dare to interfere indiscriminately, and nothing will happen."

If you really don't worry, there are still a few of my old subordinates in the border army, and Yan Kui will also sell me two copies of face, and wait for me to go back to repair a few letters, so that they can take care of them more. ”

The old man's face was shocked, and he sighed to Peng Kuohai for a long time: "Thank you." ”

In fact, more than 20 years ago, the previous friendship between Peng Kuohai and the old prince Cao Wei was not as deep as it is now, at most they were officials in the same dynasty, and the old prince was high, but Peng Kuohai was depressed, and the two sides had little intersection.

Until the past ten years, there were fewer and fewer generals of the older generation, and only a few Peng Kuohai and Lao Guogong remained.

A group of twilight veterans unconsciously slowly came together, everyone recalled the past, showed off their bravery, and their feelings slowly became deeper.

After that, there were fewer and fewer veterans who gathered in one place at the beginning, and now, only Peng Kuohai and Lao Guogong can still move as usual.

The old age intersects and is a companion to each other, this relationship is not worse than that of life and death, it is because Peng Kuohai will take such care of Cao Wei's descendants, almost as his own............
