"Of course not, tomorrow the court only needs to tell the truth about this matter, and His Majesty will naturally understand the relationship between China and China, and he will definitely not blame Bolai." He Jin was not afraid that there would be a problem with the holy decree, but he was afraid that Zhao Yi would openly violate the holy decree. If Zhao Yi doesn't even take the current emperor in his eyes, and in the future, after the death of Emperor Ling of Han, the new emperor will ascend the throne, how can Zhao Yi look at the young emperor in his eyes.

Now that he learned what happened, He Jin's hanging heart finally let go. The fear of Zhao Yi disappeared with this incident.

If Zhao Yi blatantly violated the holy decree, for this kind of talent who is not afraid of the face of heaven, even if he has the ability to calm the world, He Jin will not dare to reuse it, and will even take this opportunity to step on Zhao Yi so that Zhao Yi will never turn over.

"Your Majesty will not only not blame Bolai, but will even reward Bolai." He Jin smiled, "As long as the official is promoted, there should be no problem in getting a marquis by virtue of Bolai's great military exploits." ”

Zhao Yi didn't care about the false name of the marquis at all, he focused on real power, such as the control of Youzhou. This is the real power, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and millions of people in Youzhou in his hands, walking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhao Yi dared to speak loudly.

"Thank you, General." Zhao Yi thanked him.

He Jin took a sip of wine and warned Zhao Yi to be careful of the ten permanent servants and others, "During the siege of Guangning County by Bolai, they once made a statement to Your Majesty that they wanted Yang Xiu to lead the soldiers and horses of Youzhou instead of Bolai. He Jin told the truth about the matter, because Zhao Yun was also in the court that day, and it was useless for He Jin to add oil and vinegar.

He Jin told Zhao Yi about this matter, just because he wanted Zhao Yi to resent Zhang Rang and others, and even broke off friendship with Zhang Rang and others, and completely fell into his camp.

Zhao Yi already knew about this matter from Zhao Yun's letter that day. He Jin mentioned this matter here today, and Zhao Yi naturally understood what He Jin meant. nodded at the moment: "Thank you for the reminder, the general has a plan in his heart." ”

He Jin saw the gloomy look on Zhao Yi's face, his face was full of smiles, and he drank all the wine in the bronze jue. For Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who want to plan their official positions, Zhao Yi must be very hateful in his heart, even if he will not be attached to He Jin in a short time, he will definitely not fall into Zhang Rang's camp.

An hour later, Zhao Yi returned to Zhao's house with two boxes of gold. Looking at Zhao Yi who left his house with the gold, He Jin's face was full of joy, Zhao Yi was willing to accept his gold, and he had gradually made his position clear.

However, if He Jin knew that Zhao Yi had also taken a lot of gold from Zhang Rang, but he didn't let Zhang do things, I don't know what He Jin would think at this time.

He Jin is now satisfied, and he has only been drinking with Zhao Yi for a short time, but he has figured out two things, which determine He Jin's attitude towards Zhao Yi.

If you want to make tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Youzhou follow him, he doesn't need to follow the soldiers on the battlefield like the rest of the generals, and promote the relationship between the two sides, he just needs to encircle Zhao Yi, the Youzhou pastor, in his own hands.

However, this kind of relationship of interest binding is far less solid and reliable than that of family relationships.

If you want to tie Zhao Yi to your chariot, you not only need benefits, but also family affection, which makes He Jin a pity that he does not have an adult daughter under his knees, and the eldest daughter is only eight years old now, which is too incompatible with Zhao Yi. "It seems that I still have to discuss the princess's affairs with my little sister." He Jin fumbled his beard and walked towards the palace with a pause.

Back at home, Zhao Yi told Zhao Yun about He Jin's attitude, and Zhao Yun groped his chin: "Now the situation in the court is becoming more and more tense, He Jin and Zhang Rang, the two parties are fighting increasingly fiercely in the court, and both of them are now favoring me. They are trying to draw one of us father and son into their camp, and the other will definitely join them. Intentions are not evil. ”

Zhao Yun's opinion is to respond to all changes with the same, which is consistent with Zhao Yi's thoughts, neither side can be offended, but both sides do not join.

But if Zhao Yi is asked to choose one of the two people, Zhao Yi will choose He Jin, because He Jin is different from Zhang Rang and others, He Jin will look ahead and backward when thinking about things, but Zhang Rang is different, Zhang Rang, who entered the palace with a clean body, has no descendants, so he acts according to his own preferences, and he doesn't need to think about the impact of this matter on their descendants. People who don't have any worries are the scariest people.

He Jin had just invited himself over at noon, and in the evening, Huangmen Zuofeng also came to Zhao's house, saying that Zhang Rang invited Zhao Yi into the palace to drink.

Zhao Yi is now fledgling, and he doesn't dare to offend the powerful, so he can only follow Zuo Feng into the palace. This is the second time Zhao Yi has entered Zhang Rang's palace.

Zhang Rang sat with Zhao Zhong and Zhao Yi, first praising Zhao Yi's great achievements, and then his voice changed to cut to the topic: "During the siege of Guangning County by Bolai, I made a wrong decision. Speaking of this, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked remorseful, "Presumably Bolai has heard that during Bolai's attack on Guangning County, the two of us once made a proposal to His Majesty to let Yang Xiu command the soldiers and horses of Youzhou. ”

"All this was instigated by Yang Xiu, he said that he had mastered the key to leading the troops, and wanted us to give him a chance." Zhao Zhong sighed, his disgust for his brother-in-law but did not pretend, "The two of us also regretted it very much afterwards, fortunately Your Majesty did not agree, otherwise we would have missed the major affairs of the imperial court, and we would be sinners through the ages." ”

Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang looked repentant: "I hope Bolai can understand." ”

Of course, Zhao Yi understood the psychology of the two of them, they just wanted to catch the elite soldiers of Youzhou. As for themselves, the ones who command the soldiers and horses, they will take care of it anymore.

Without the army, Zhao Yi is like a tiger who has lost his teeth, and he can only be a strategist at best. Zhao Yi was disgusted by the behavior of the two in his heart, but he still smiled and waved his hand: "The two adults also want to train Yang Xiu, this is understandable to the lower officials." The lower officials did not mean to blame the two adults, so please don't be too careful. ”

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong showed joy on their faces: "Bo Lai can think like this, we are relieved." ”

Next, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong changed their voices, and also asked Zhao Yi whether he had received the imperial court's order when he attacked Guangning County.

These two people have exactly the same idea as He Jin, and Zhao Yi will say what He Jin said to Zhang Rang and the others. Only then did the two of them show relieved expressions on their faces, and assured Zhao Yi that the position of Youzhou Mu must be Zhao Yi's, and they would not do anything again.

and promised to help Zhao Yichen talk about the holy decree in the court.

Zhao Yi stayed in the palace for about an hour before returning to Zhao's house. With the help of He Jin and Zhang Rang, the two major parties in the DPRK and China, although tomorrow's court meeting has not yet taken place, Zhao Yi has already thought of his results.

The news of Zhao Yi's return to the court had spread to the court and outside the court last night, and the ministers also had different opinions on this matter, some thought that Zhao Yi should be killed, and some thought that Zhao Yi should be rewarded.

With Zhang Rang's greeting: "Go to court!" The hundred officials of the imperial court walked into the court hall in a hurry.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty announced that Zhao Yi had entered the court, and did not say anything to Zhao Yi about celebratory achievements, but directly asked Zhao Yi if he had received the will of the imperial court when he attacked Guangning County.

Zhao Yi has answered this question three times, and this time he is even more familiar with answering it, explaining what happened that day again.

And behind the explanation, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Youzhou to testify, if Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send the court minister to the Youzhou military camp to investigate.

Zhao Yi has said everything to this point, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have already Zhao Yi did not lie. "As the so-called ignorant is not to blame, although Lord Zhao's move is a little disrespectful, I don't know if the letter is fake." He Jin helped Zhao Yi explain. It is excusable to explain that Zhao Yi burned the holy decree, and asked the emperor not to blame Zhao Yi.

Zhang Rang also spoke: "Although I proposed the peace talks, but now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, there is nothing wrong with Lord Zhao in the matter of the holy decree alone, please Your Majesty to check it out." ”

The heads of the two parties had already made their decisions, and the remaining officials immediately said that Zhao Yi was not only innocent, but also deserved to be commended by the imperial court. Many people even promoted Zhao Yi as a marquis.

Now that all the officials of the court have said that Zhao Yi is not guilty, the frightened Zhao Yun finally exhaled, Zhao Yi's life was saved, but for the officials' proposal to let Zhao Yi be promoted to marquis, Zhao Yun stood up: "Zhao Yi is still young, I'm afraid it is difficult to take such a big responsibility, please Your Majesty decide." ”

In the past two years, Zhao Yi's promotion to an official position has been too fast, and it is really not simple to go from a small county magistrate to a state pastor in charge of a state's soldiers and horses. However, because Zhao Yi's official position was promoted too quickly, many people in the court were jealous. Zhao Yi is too sharp and not condensed and precipitated enough. In Zhao Yun's opinion, Zhao Yi needs to be stable for a while. Consolidate your prestige and power.

Zhang Rang and He Jin also wrote to the emperor to make Zhao Yi a marquis.

Zhao Yi and Zhao Yun have similar views, if it weren't for the Qiangqu Department to invade Youzhou. Zhao Yi will take advantage of the past few years to develop people's livelihood and economy. In the battle with Qiangqu, Zhao Yi did not want to prove how powerful he was, but just wanted to use the victory in this battle to inspire the hearts of the people of Youzhou.

Being a marquis is not what Zhao Yi wants. What he wants is control of Youzhou.

Seeing that Zhao Yi had spoken, He Jin and Zhang Rang did not remind the emperor again, and also bowed down and said, "Please make a decision." ”

Emperor Ling of Han finally agreed to Zhao Yi's proposal and let Zhao Yi continue to be the pastor of Youzhou, as for the marquis, it will be discussed later. However, he rewarded Zhao Yi with a lot of money.

After the emperor finished talking about the matter, He Jin glanced at Zhao Yi with a smile and proposed: "Your Majesty, now the Xiliang rebels are extremely rampant, and the official army has sent several armies to return in vain. There is a candidate in the minister's heart, please ask the emperor to decide. ”
