No matter how difficult it is in the court, even if he is the only warrior, he must persist in fighting to the end, the Great Song Dynasty cannot die, and the blood of his grandfather and father cannot be shed in vain!

Yang Congyi said very clearly, although the matter of Nanjian Prefecture was indeed the fault of the Divine Cavalry, if it was not for the state government to shirk each other and not allocate food and salary, how could thousands of people fend for themselves, and then it developed into an uncontrollable situation. Instead of investigating the root cause of the arrears and deducting the food and salaries of the forbidden army, these civil officials accused the forbidden army of making a living for themselves, making profits from business, and competing with the people for profit.

Although he can see it clearly, he can't argue, the emperor has spoken, what can he do? But the gossip about the front division of the palace kept going, but it made him irritable.

Although the northwest border army is still controlled by the warriors, they are far away from Lin'an, and they are free from the court, only the forbidden army under the command of the palace guards Lin'an, circling in the court, and must not be separated, becoming the target of the public, everyone wants to kick, step on a foot, scold, and seize the opportunity from time to time to create an incident, suppress the martial arts, and suppress the army.

This time the matter of Nanjian Prefecture involves the Divine Cavalry Army and the front division of the palace, they naturally will not let go of this opportunity, the ban on the army to do business seems to be a foregone conclusion, and it cannot be changed, if you still want to take this opportunity to separate the relationship between the front division of the palace and the local garrisons, and suppress the strength of the front division of the splitting hall, it is not so easy. More than 20 years ago, when the imperial court hurriedly crossed to the south, the front division of the palace existed in name only, and now it has just recovered some strength, how can it be allowed to wantonly suppress and seize power?

But it is not so simple to dispel rumors and stabilize the morale of the army, and if you can use this selection of generals and colonels, you may be able to quickly gather the morale of the army.

Yang Cunzhong held the document book in his hand, but he was full of thoughts, thinking about how to stabilize the good situation that the front division of the palace had fought for so hard, and reproduce the glory of the front division of the palace that once commanded millions of forbidden troops in the world.

"My lord, there is a Lord Huang in the palace who asks to see you?"

Just as he was thinking about it, a personal soldier and guard came in to communicate.

"From the palace? Come in, please. As soon as he heard that someone was coming, Yang Cunzhong hurriedly ordered.

The guard replied and withdrew.

When he was young, he saw Huang Qi come in alone, and when he saw Yang Cunzhong, he smiled and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Guogong." ”

"Lord Huang doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!" Yang Cunzhong put down the Chinese book in his hand and hurriedly walked out from behind the bookcase.

Huang Qi raised his hand and said, "The prince of the country forgives his sins, and there is a lot of disturbance." ”

The two of them gave in humbly, Yang Cunzhong sat down first, and Huang Qi then sat down on the side.

"Lord Huang came to the front of the palace in his busy schedule, I don't know what happened?" After a little greeting and serving tea, Yang Cunzhong asked.

Lord Huang rarely comes to the front of the palace, and this time he suddenly came here in person, there must be something important.

Huang Qi said with a smile: "The lower officials have nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace, and there is indeed something to do when I came to see Guogong today." ”

"Lord Huang might as well say bluntly, if you can help, the front secretary of the palace will never refuse!" Yang Cunzhong said with a smile.

"Okay, then the lower official will speak bluntly." Huang Qi paused for a moment, and then said: "Xiaguan was ordered by the official family to form a fleet of Huiyi three years ago, and carried out the ocean-going return to Yi, among which there was a time when Yi joined the army surnamed Yang Congyi, from supervising the return to Yi until he returned to the Great Song Dynasty last year, he has been assisting Xiaguan for two and a half years, and not long ago he found that there were some problems with the goods purchased by the fleet in the Western Ocean, and he needed to be verified. I heard that he is now serving in the front division of the palace, and the lower officials are not presumptuous to go directly to him and come to see the prince of the country. ”

"Yang Congyi?" Yang Cunzhong paused slightly, and asked, "I don't know how much Lord Huang knows about this person?" ”

Huang Qi said: "It's not a secret, the lower officials know him quite deeply, when the martial arts were restored, when he first entered the martial arts, the lower officials sent someone to secretly observe, he came from a slightly cold background, was recommended by the local officials at the time, so he was able to come to Lin'an, after passing the entrance test, he entered the martial arts, in the martial arts for a year and a half, he studied very hard, passed the public examination in advance, and was able to confer the official, and then he assisted the lower officials to build back to the Yi, Tiannan and Haibei ran everywhere, shipbuilding, army building, recruiting all kinds of manpower, everything can stand alone, It's really a rare young talent.

After the fleet left the Great Song Dynasty and went to sea, he was appointed to return to Yi to join the army and supervise the Xuanwei Army, first escorted Zuo Shilang Zhong Dai Cong to Li Yue as an envoy, Li Yue Prince made a rebellion, wanted to be unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty envoys, he took more than 1,000 Xuanwei troops to fight a few battles over there, captured the culprit Li Yue Prince, and later after the convergence of the Nanyang Three Buddhas, the sea route to the west of the fleet was blocked by the local power of the big family, at his insistence, the Xuanwei Army and the royal guards, a war to destroy the big family, the sea route to the west was opened. Later, the fleet encountered a storm on the way to Tianzhu, he unfortunately fell into the sea, fortunately he did not die in the catastrophe, and fell on a desert island, and more than four months later caught up with the fleet in Tianzhu, in the Tianzhu fleet one for two, Dai Cong led a single one in Tianzhu to return to Yi, and the lower official took Yang Congyi and others to the Seljuk country farther away.

Although Xia Guan has not communicated with him a lot in the past two years, he knows that he is thoughtful, resolute, and well-informed, and can calm down to do things, Xia Guan said that he is the deputy envoy of Hui Yi, responsible for Hui Yi, from beginning to end, Xia Guan almost didn't worry about anything, it was all their young people who took their own ideas and did things by themselves, and Xia Guan just coordinated some things that could not be done with their official positions and qualifications. In short, in the eyes of the following officials, this young man is unusual, and he can be trained well and entrusted with important tasks. ”

Yang Cunzhong said with a smile: "It seems that Lord Huang is very satisfied with this Yang Congyi of the front division of the palace, but I don't know how much your lord knows about what happened before he came to Lin'an?" ”

Huang Qi said with a smile: "This is natural, if there are other people who can also shoulder the matter of returning to the ocean with a hundred big ships, the lower officials will also be satisfied with him." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Since you want to hand over millions of Hui Yi Duzao to this young man, the lower officials naturally want to find out his origin. Before coming to Lin'an, he first appeared in Anqing Army Taihu County, because of the road murder, to save people, but was captured as a murderer, after redressing grievances, the then magistrate left him in the county to do a period of time to catch fast, and later Taihu County was promoted to Anqing Army Commander, he also followed, and then participated in a search for a large case of escaped fugitives, it took a few months, Yamen to catch quickly and finally captured most of the fugitives from the mountains, because of outstanding performance, and the heart of learning, the local magistrate wrote a letter of recommendation, recommending him to enter the martial arts, Huaixi Shuaisi also left a seal on the letter of recommendation, and he walked all the way from Anqing to Lin'an. As for the experience before the appearance in Taihu County, it is impossible to find out the details, but still found some information, his hometown is in Huangmei County, Qizhou, and he used to hunt in the mountains all the year round for a living, except for an uncle in his family, there are no other relatives and friends, and the place where his family lives, there is no one within a radius of dozens of miles, and there is no way to check if he wants to check more information. The information that the lower officials said was all sent to investigate on the spot, and it was completely true. ”

Yang Cunzhong said with a smile: "It's still Lord Huang who is thoughtful, such a martial arts student in his early twenties has sent someone to check it clearly, and he can still remember it so clearly after many years, it's rare!" ”

Huang Qi said with a smile: "The Guogong has won the award, and the lower officials are not literate, and many things cannot be written down with pen and ink, so they can only be remembered in their hearts. This person is going to be entrusted with a heavy task, and the subordinate has to find out all about him! ”

"Yang admires!" Yang Cunzhong said with a smile: "I don't know what the specific reason Lord Huang came to him this time?" Is it convenient to talk about it? ”

Huang Qi said: "There is nothing inconvenient for the prince to ask each other. When the fleet was purchasing goods in the Seljuk Kingdom of the Western Ocean, they purchased a batch of goods, but because they were worthless, no one cared about them so far, and the officials asked the officials to find out who purchased them. It's been almost a year since the return of the Yi fleet, and now only Yang Congyi is in Lin'an, and the other person is responsible for procurement, but he is far away in Qiongzhou, because the two of them are both from martial arts and have a very good relationship, so they plan to ask him first. ”

"I see, Yang thought that he was involved in corruption or harming the public and private interests, since this is the case, Lord Huang went to the military case to inquire." Yang Cunzhong said with a smile.

Huang Qi said: "Guogong doesn't know, Yang Congyi has a very close relationship with the other person in charge of Huiyi, and many things during the Huiyi supervision period were decided by the two of them, although the other person is responsible for the procurement of materials, but Yang Congyi is well-informed, and he will often participate in assistance, so this matter cannot exclude him." ”

When Yang Cunzhong heard this, he felt a little surprised, and immediately asked: "If this procurement decision is related to him, how will it be handled?" ”

Huang Qi shook his head and said: "The lower officials don't know for the time being, it involves two large ships of cargo, and the losses caused are huge, and the culpability will not be light." ”

Yang Cunzhong said: "Returning to the ocean and purchasing foreign goods, it is natural to choose things that are not available or rare in the Great Song Dynasty, which are valuable things in foreign countries, but they may not be useful in the Great Song Dynasty, isn't this also a common feeling?" Don't talk about Western foreign things, let's just say Jin Guo mink Qiu, in the north is a necessary thing to keep out the cold, but in the Great Song Dynasty it becomes dispensable, in Lin'an every winter can still wear a few days, and then go to the south, it is basically useless, and naturally no one will buy it. What does Lord Huang think? ”

Huang Qi said with a smile: "What Guogong said is not unreasonable, but since they are in charge of procurement, they should predict how valuable the purchased goods will be when they return to the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise it is also a dereliction of duty, isn't it?" ”

Yang Cunzhong laughed and said, "What Lord Huang said is reasonable. Yang Congyi has just been in Lin'an, and he is in the military case today, so Lord Huang should hurry up and take a look. ”

"Thank you, Lord Kokuto." Huang Qi said with a smile.

"Come on, accompany Lord Huang to a trip to the front of the palace."

As soon as Yang Cunzhong gave an order, a lieutenant approached.

"Lord Huang, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." Yang Cunzhong said with a smile.
