Chapter 428: Final Decision
The night passed, and it was dawn.
Yang Congyi didn't come back, and the three of them who had been sitting all night couldn't hold on anymore after the sky was bright, and they almost sat down and fell asleep.
But Qingchen, as the head of the family, how can she feel at ease?
Calling Shang Lian'er and Bai Erniang together, the three of them were cautious, and went out of the courtyard gate to look around, and there was no trace of thieves around.
Where the black shadow climbed over the wall last night, only a few drops of blood stains that had already turned black and dried were left, and they were found more than a foot away along the bloodstains, and there was no trace of them anymore, either the injuries were not serious and the bleeding stopped in time, or the thieves wiped the blood stains off at night.
The three of them returned to the courtyard, checked each room, and found that nothing was missing, Qingchen was a little relieved, it seems that the thief should have sneaked into the courtyard, and was just discovered by Lian'er, who turned back, and was driven out before he had time to make any action.
Qingchen was afraid for a while, if Lian'er hadn't found the thief, the thief didn't know how many things he would steal.
After sitting all night, tired and hungry, Bai Erniang simply cooked some meals, and the three of them ate one after another, and then took turns to go into the house to rest.
In Lin'an City, from dusk to early morning, from early morning to noon, no matter the wind and rain, or the scorching sun, there is no moment that is not noisy, there is no moment that is not lively, they seem to be tireless, from early morning to dusk, from dusk to dawn, blooming in their own world all day long.
The street was peaceful and lively, but the front of the palace commanded the envoy in the yamen, but it was a different scene, and the silence was very unusual.
For almost everyone knows that they have commanded the anger of the adults.
After the execution of military law, the beaten general dragged his aching body into the official office of the commander again.
"My lord, the last general has finished military law!" The general colonel stood firm in front of Yang Cunzhong, and clenched his fists to report.
Yang Cunzhong's face was expressionless, and he threw the copywriting in his hand on the bookcase, without saying a word, staring at the general.
After a while, he said, "Did you tell you not to be brutal?" ”
"Yes, my lord said that." The colonel gritted his teeth and replied.
"Why didn't you listen to what you said?" Yang Cunzhong was still angry.
"The last general sent someone to keep an eye on her for several days, but she never went out, and she really couldn't find out her information, so she made this decision to take a closer look." The beaten general replied.
Yang Cunzhong was silent, time was pressing, he had to figure out the details of Yang Congyi's family in a short time, if there was no problem, there would be a heavy task to entrust, he was in a hurry, and his subordinates couldn't help but be in a hurry, and it was really no wonder that they were there, so the expression on his face eased slightly.
"Can you find any news?"
"The spy was too anxious, he was found as soon as he entered the yard, and he had to retreat, but he also brought back some news, the spy said that the woman's martial arts are strong, and her swordsmanship is very exquisite, and she definitely has actual combat experience, not everyone's beautiful show, and I heard that the woman has practiced martial arts for more than ten years, and she has killed people with her own hands." The school replied with pain.
"If you practice martial arts and kill people, then you are not from a big family." Yang Cunzhong then asked, "According to your observations, where did that woman come from?" ”
According to the news reported by the spies, just a few days ago they set up a tablet at home, and after investigation, they made the tablet not to worship the parents of the father, but to worship the teacher, and the tablet was set up for the woman's teacher. Judging from the women's swordsmanship, martial arts, and killing experience, most of them are from the Jianghu sect or the hermit in the mountains. Combined with the timing of his marriage, it is speculated that the time when the two met or got married, should be before he entered the martial arts, before he entered the martial arts, he was just a small person in the mountains and wilderness, and he also worked as a servant in Taihu Lake and Huaining Yamen. After some analysis, the general analyzed and said that Qingchen's identity was not far from ten.
Yang Cunzhong obviously agrees with the speculation of his subordinates, since his wife is from an average background, then he will not be co-opted by his wife's family, and the people he knows in the officialdom are extremely limited, and there are only a few people who have friendships, and the officials he may take the initiative to make friends with are useless to others, and have no friendship value, looking at the officials in Beijing who have crossed paths with him, I am afraid that only Lord Huang will take the initiative to find him, and several other officials, such as Dai Cong, the right attendant of the household department, what is the decree of the Privy Council, and Chen Chengzhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Even if he comes to the door to ask for a meeting, they may not necessarily see him, let alone make friends.
From this point of view, Yang Congyi's actions in Nanjian Prefecture should be as he said that day, all out of his own heart, no one instructed in advance, let alone participate in the planning, the cause of everything is that the Divine Cavalry is too bold and presumptuous, and he was deceived by the local governor's clever words at the beginning, and was used by the state government, so he found more than 30 murderers in the Divine Cavalry Army, but fortunately, he later used the strategy of desertion to cut off the state government's intention to pursue the responsibility of the Divine Cavalry. Judging from the final results, what was done during the period was still remarkable.
At this point, whether he is loyal or traitorous, Yang Cunzhong has found the answer.
"Don't go to his house again, remember?" Yang Cunzhong commanded.
"Yes, sir!" The school hugged his fist as expected, and then dragged his injured body out.
Yang Cunzhong picked up the copywriting on the bookcase again and looked at it carefully, this copywriting was nothing else, it was one of the several charters reported by the military case.
Two of them were presented to the emperor, and the remaining few copies, the content is also a lot, and he can also see some things from it, although the whole charter looks very complete, but there are still many details to be supplemented and improved, and there is a lot of room for return and free play, if you think about it carefully, you can find that those things are not written in the charter, but they seem to contain those things, the whole charter echoes before and after, it is a very complete thing, and there are some invisible and unpredictable things hidden in it, But judging from his knowledge and understanding of many years in the army, what is not seen in the charter is very useful for fighting a war.
It seems that this Yang Congyi is really a person who can be cultivated, he has not learned martial arts in vain for more than a year, and the victories he fought overseas and in Guangnan before are not necessarily because the opponent is too weak, and he still has his own set of marching and fighting.
Yang Cunzhong put down the charter, it was time to make a decision.
The regulations for the election of generals presented to the emperor have been approved, and although they have been greatly discounted in the end, it is also expected, not unacceptable.
But he is not very satisfied with the commander-in-chief candidates given by the imperial court, what he wants is to have a well-known and qualified commander in the army, so as to boost morale, but the imperial court designated the young king of Pu'an County without any military experience, although he served as the envoy of the Chang German army, but it is just a name, where the Chang German army is estimated he does not know, arranging such a commander, it can be seen that the imperial court simply regards this selection and training as a child's play, a prince who has lived in the Lin'an Palace and the palace for a long time, can understand what military affairs, but is sent to disrupt the situation, Or mix in some qualifications.
But in this regard, Yang Cunzhong can't say anything, although he is in charge of the forbidden army in front of the palace, but his authority to transfer troops is extremely limited, almost all of them are in the hands of the imperial court, and he can't say anything about arranging the commander, only obedient.
This election is extremely important to the front division of the palace and to all the forbidden troops, since the commander is not good, the person in charge sent by the front division of the palace must be effective, otherwise this big move will be in vain.
There are a lot of people who have the qualifications to lead the troops in the front of the palace, but they are really willing to leave Lin'an for a few months to lead the troops to elect generals, and they really can't find a few, they have long been used to a stable life in the past ten years, and few people are willing to go out to eat and sleep, but the remaining few people he is not at ease, for them Lin'an is like a cage, once they leave Lin'an, they are afraid that they will spend all day drinking, eating, drinking and having fun, and directly throw the matter of selecting the generals out of the clouds, and in the end it is inevitable to deceive, fool the front division of the palace, and fool the court.
Yang Congyi, he has been thinking about it for a long time, this general charter must have been written by him, he has formed a new army, has been a supervisor of the army, has fought and made meritorious contributions, he is a very suitable candidate, but he is too young.
If Yang Congyi is entrusted with such a major matter as the front secretary of the palace, will he be under pressure to say for the time being, I'm afraid no one can rest assured. The commander is in his twenties, the person in charge is in his twenties, and all the generals and soldiers who participated in the selection and training are also under the age of 30.
But at the moment, whether it is the front division of the palace or the entire forbidden army, there are really no available people, so it is necessary to select generals and select young generals to be trained, and judging from the available information, Yang Congyi is undoubtedly the best among the young generals in the army, otherwise he would not be transferred from the army to serve in the front division of the palace.
In fact, Yang Cunzhong doesn't have many choices, he won't choose the other two people in the military case at all, Zhang Bing's case is sleek and loves money, he pretends to be sick when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't even want to go to the office, let alone let him leave Lin'an for a long time, and the other director, Sun Miao, has never been to the army, and his official position is derived from Enyin, and he has almost never left Lin'an.
Not to mention the other divisions and yamen, if they are not promoted, they will not be given money, who is willing to take charge of the military case, but there is no shortage of official positions in the front of the palace, and there is no shortage of official positions in the front of the palace, and there is no shortage of official positions waiting in line, how can they promise to be promoted if they do a good job in selecting generals, and then as soon as they are instructed to do things, the various departments and yamen will ask for promotions, how can he have so many official positions for them to arrange, not to mention that arranging official positions is not something he just said.
Therefore, no matter how you think about it, no matter how you look at it, for now, Yang Congyi is the only candidate to be in charge.
Yang Cunzhong thought about it and finally made this decision.
"Come on, go to the military case and call Zhang Bing and Secretary Yang."
As soon as he gave the order, the first lieutenant immediately responded and left in a hurry.
This determination is certain, and the chaotic thoughts gradually settle down, hoping that he can do this.
