What shocked Yang Qi the most was that these dismissed soldiers, among their fellow villagers and neighboring villagers, organized and disciplined small gangs actually began to appear.

For this kind of thing.

Yang Qi couldn't tolerate it.

Yang Qi glared at Zhao Di and Luo Ye, and scolded: "Lao Tzu hasn't had a free life yet, you want to live a free life first, but there is no door." You have brought back a lot of men from Liao this time.

Now Lao Tzu wants you to draw 10,000 men from the middle, and each person will receive 5,000, one from north to south, and one from south to north, and give me a careful inventory of this kind of thing.

Anyone who discovers such a black sheep must not be spared.

Whoever carries the lives of innocent people on his back shall be immediately executed.

Those who did not carry the lives of innocent people on their bodies were all gathered together.

A large amount of land was about to be obtained from the Liao State, and there were not many people within a hundred miles there.

When the time comes, they will be sent together and let them go to open up the wasteland. ”

"But ......"

Fallen leaves hesitated.

Yang Qi immediately glared and scolded: "Are you discussing with you when you are Lao Tzu?" That's an order. Either obey, or Lao Tzu hacks your whole family to death. The choice is yours. ”

Fallen Leaves froze in place.

He didn't understand why Yang Qi, who was obviously very good at talking, had become so unreasonable.

Zhao Di smiled bitterly and pulled the fallen leaves.

"Obey your orders!"

"Get out!"

Zhao Di pulled the fallen leaves out of the imperial study.

Yang Qi pursed his lips and scolded in a low voice: "They are all cheap skins, talk to them one by one, and be a bully when I am a bully." When I beat and scolded them, I was very well-behaved.

It's cheap! ”

After scolding, Yang Qi didn't forget about business.

Since he has appointed Zhao Di and Luoye to new errands, he has to give them a new identity.

An identity that allows them to stand in front of people above board, and an identity that gives them the right to execute ruffians everywhere.

After a few thoughts.

Yang Qi finally decided to let them go to various places as a superintendent.

Nominally, it is a guardian of the sky.

Secretly, the real mission is to investigate and deal with ruffians everywhere.

The official title is not high, but the power is great.

The appearance of two strange ministers really shocked the officials of Yan State.

Falling Leaves and Zhao Di were both the first spies to follow Yang Qi.

The two had already left Yang Qi's side before Yang Qi founded the Northwest Four Mansions.

Therefore, many officials in Yan Kingdom did not know about the existence of the two of them.

Suddenly, two unidentified people appeared to serve as messengers, patrolling the world, and there was no clear place to do so.

This faintly caused a lot of speculation among officials.

Many people couldn't guess Yang Qi's intention of sending a messenger to inspect the world this time.

Someone secretly asked Yang Qi, but Yang Qi did not give any response.

Luo Ye and Zhao Di were born as secret agents, and now they have changed from dark to light, and they still maintain their vigorous and resolute spy style.

Yang Qi had made it clear that he would never let the two of them leave, and the two of them put out the idea of unloading their armor and returning to the field, and continued to help Yang Qi with their errands.

By the time the official seals, court clothes, official certificates and other items given to them by Yang Qi arrived, they had already counted 10,000 people.

The two of them each received 5,000, and when others were not paying attention, they quietly left Yanjing City.

No one knew that a purge operation that was enough to shake the entire Yan Kingdom was launched so quietly.

Yang Qi did not continue to dwell on this issue.

The matter was handed over to Zhao Di and Luoye, and he was relieved.

The New Year is just around the corner, and the enthronement ceremony is just around the corner.

Yang Qi has a lot more important things to do.

Important civil and military personnel from all over the country also arrived in Yanjing City at this time, and Yang Qi had to meet some of them every day.

Furthermore.

Yang Qi's founding of the Yan Kingdom can be regarded as a shabby innovation, and many of the agendas on the enthronement ceremony can no longer be used in the previous dynasty, and must be rectified.

Many of these things require the dictatorship of Yang Qi's sacred heart.

There are also a series of things such as rewarding meritorious deeds, rewarding the ceremony, and posthumously sealing the ceremony, all of which require Yang Qi's dictatorship.

Inside the Imperial Study.

Yang Qi and Su Yijian, for these things, are busy with their feet not touching the ground.

Just as the two of them were thinking twice about a marquis, Lu Meng hurriedly entered the imperial study.

Lu Mengzheng's face was ugly, as if he had done the errand that Yang Qi had explained, and after entering the imperial study, he bowed down and said, "Minister Lu Mengzheng, see Your Majesty." ”

Yang Qi didn't raise his head, and asked casually, "Didn't you let you pass the decree?" Done with an errand? ”

Lu Mengzheng smiled bitterly: "No ......"

Yang Qi raised his head in amazement and put down the pen in his hand.

Su Yijian also raised his head in the gang.

Yang Qi frowned and said, "What happened?" ”

Lu Mengzheng bowed again and said, "On the orders of His Majesty, I went to convey the will of the Emperor and the Queen Mother to be sealed. The Emperor Taishang did not receive the holy decree and drove the ministers out. ”

As usual.

Yang Qi is now an emperor and ranks in the ninety-five, and his father's identity naturally cannot be lower than him.

So, according to the results of the discussion among the officials, it was finally decided to crown Lao Yang as Yan Gaozu and send Lu Mengzheng to convey the will.

Then, looking at the current situation, Lao Yang is obviously unwilling to be sealed.

Yang Qi groaned again and again, and did not embarrass Lu Mengzheng again, "You go down first." I'll take care of that. ”

Lu Meng immediately bowed and withdrew from the imperial study.

As soon as Lu Meng was leaving, Yang Qi turned his head sideways and asked Su Yijian, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Su Yijian smiled faintly: "It must be sealed, otherwise Your Majesty will inevitably be criticized in the history books a hundred years later." The Emperor Taishang is afraid that there is some knot in his heart, so this matter still needs to be said by His Majesty himself. ”

Yang Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I just don't know how to say it myself, so I took a trick and sent Lu Mengzheng over." Now it seems that this is inevitable. ”

With a long sigh, Yang Qi continued to deal with Su Yijian's canonization matters.

By the time most of the processing was over, it was getting late.

Su Yijian got up and said goodbye.

Yang Qi got up and stretched his muscles, and then summoned Zamahe Aoki, who was outside the hall after that.

"Where's my dad?"

Zamahe Aoki bowed and said, "The Emperor is in the Imperial Garden......"

Yang Qi nodded slowly, "You go down and help me prepare a jar of good wine, so that people don't have to follow." I went to the Imperial Garden alone. ”

"No!"

Yang Qi picked up the liquor prepared by Zama and Aoki, and quietly rushed to the Imperial Garden alone.

It is said to be an imperial garden, but in fact it is just a bare open space.

This winter is bitterly cold, and the flowers have already turned into bare dead branches under the cold frost, and only a few plums are blooming proudly.

Yang Qi was not an emperor who liked to enjoy, he didn't like to spend financial resources to build something flashy in the palace.

Cao Lin's four daughters seemed to have seen through Yang Qi's thoughts, so they didn't arrange the imperial garden at the expense of the people and money.

The few flowers in the garden were planted by their own hands.

There is a gazebo in the garden.

Bamboo curtains hung around the pavilion to block out the harsh cold wind.

Through the gap in the bamboo curtain, someone can be seen lighting a small red clay stove in the gazebo, pretending to sleep.

Yang Qi paced to the edge of the pavilion and lifted the bamboo curtain.

The cold wind woke up Lao Yang, who was sleeping in the pavilion.

Lao Yang glanced at Yang Qi and said quietly: "Is it about the monarch and the minister tonight, or about the father and son?" ”

Yang Qi put the wine jar in his hand on the table in the pavilion and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is about father and son." ”

Lao Yang nodded slowly and didn't say anything more.

Yang Qi didn't say much.

He bent down and sat opposite Lao Yang, and picked the silver charcoal in the small red clay stove with fire tongs, so that the flames burned more vigorously.

The jar was drained, poured into the small jug on the table, and placed in the kettle.

Wait until the water in the kettle boils.

Yang Qicai took down the wine jug and poured a glass for him and Lao Yang.

Lao Yang was not polite, and took a sip of the wine glass.

Yang Qi poured another cup for Lao Yang, and then slowly spoke, "Dad, why are you unwilling to accept the seal?" ”

Lao Yang picked up the wine on the table and drank it all again.

After a while, he put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Yang Qi.

He asked Yang Qi with some embarrassment, "What do you think of being a father in this life?" ”

Yang Qi was stunned when he heard this, thought for a long time, and said: "I have a loyal heart, but I have never met the right person." ”

Lao Yang was stunned for a moment, carefully tasted Yang Qi's words, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You're right, look back carefully on your Father's life, but it's as you say. There is a loyal heart, but he has never met the right person. My father used to have ambitions, and he wanted to use a big gun in his hand to make his neighbors surrender and win an invincible reputation.

It's a pity that in my father's life, I haven't met a right lord.

Even once, he shouted at you and shouted at you to kill.

What my father didn't expect was that the dream that my father couldn't complete in his life was finally fulfilled by you.

Not only did you do what you dared to think of for your father, but you also did what you didn't dare to think of for your father. ”

Lao Yang paused and said with emotion: "You are better than your father...... When you were fighting the country, your father didn't exert much effort, and he repeatedly obstructed it. Now that it's time to share the credit, how can a father be cheeky and share a piece of profit from it? ”

Hearing Lao Yang's words, Yang Qi was obviously a little confused.

When he came, Yang Qi always felt that Lao Yang's reluctance to accept the canonization was because of the relationship between fools and loyalties.

But after hearing Lao Yang's words, Yang Qi knew that Lao Yang had already understood.

Yang Qi was happy in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Dad, what you said is not right. Sealing you has nothing to do with whether you have credit or not. Yan Country is the Yan Country of children, and it is naturally your Yan Kingdom. The child is now the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, and you are the father of the child, the father is more expensive than the son, and you should be crowned. ”

When Lao Yang heard this, his face was a little unsightly, and he snorted in a low voice: "Father is more expensive than son? Are you giving alms to the Father? ”

Yang Qi hurriedly shook his head and argued: "The child has no such intention. ”

Lao Yang pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "I don't dare to forgive you." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Yang said again: "The reason why my father did not accept your canonization is that what I just said is only one of them. There is an even more important reason, and that is that the Father does not want you to have an extra hat on your head that binds you.

You're a smart guy and you're capable.

Once you have an extra hat on your head, you will inevitably be constrained in doing things.

There are even times when it can disrupt your plans and make all your plans go down the drain. ”

Lao Yang pointed to himself and continued: "My father is now deaf and clear-sighted, and it's okay. But when you become a father and become old and mediocre, if you are bewitched by someone and then oppress you with your identity, what will you do? ”

Yang Qi slowly frowned and said in a low voice, "Can't you?" Dad, you can accept the seal or not, you can also ...... with your identity"

Before Yang Qi's words were finished, Lao Yang stubbornly shook his head.

Lao Yang said firmly: "There are some things that you don't understand. But the Father sees it clearly. It's two different things to have an identity and not to have an identity. If you insist on being crowned as a father, if you become a father in the future, if you are bewitched by others and interfere in government affairs, you will be a famous teacher.

But if you don't crown yourself as a father, if you are deceived by someone in the future, no matter what you do, it will be a family matter.

My father has handed over the position of head of the Yang family to you.

So you have the right to deal with all the family affairs of the Yang family.

Even if your father is bewitched in the future and does something unfavorable to Yan Guo, you can stop it as the head of the family.

In this way, others will not be able to find fault.

Your reputation will not be damaged in any way. ”

Yang Qi was savoring Lao Yang's words, and Lao Yang continued to say faintly on the side: "For my father, I just want to enjoy a few days of happiness, fame and fortune, for my father, it is already a passing cloud." The Father doesn't care.

If you really want to be crowned as a father, you can wait until your father dies before posthumously sealing it.

At that time, whatever identity you posthumously crown as your father, your father will not refuse. ”

Lao Yang's language is peaceful, but his attitude is extremely tough.

Yang Qi nodded thoughtfully, and said to Old Yang: "Dad, this matter is very important, and there is no precedent to follow. The child should also be cautious. ”

Lao Yang said lightly: "You can watch it." ”

After talking about the posthumous seal, the father and son stopped talking about other topics, and the two got together, drinking and chatting until late at night.

Lao Yang was drunk, and Yang Qi ordered someone to carry Lao Yang down to rest.

With a layer of frost on his face, he hurried back to the imperial study.

After returning to the imperial study, Yang Qi immediately recruited Peng Pai.

"Subordinate Peng Pai, see Your Majesty."

Peng Pai has been a little elusive and has a heavy responsibility in recent days, so he didn't follow Yang Qi.

Now that Yang Qi was summoned, he also came in a hurry, wearing a casual clothes and did not change it.

Yang Qi sat cross-legged on the kang with a gloomy face and waved his hand, and said in a low voice, "Get up and speak." ”

"No!"

After Peng Pai got up, he bowed and stood aside.

Yang Qi frowned and asked Peng Pai, "Recently, has anyone seen the Emperor Taishang?" ”

Peng Pai was stunned, lowered his head and thought about it, and slowly shook his head.

Yang Qi's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character for a moment.

Drink with Lao Yang today.

Old Yang's words revealed a precautionary attitude, even if Yang Qi was stupid, he could hear a little taste.

If no one had seen Lao Yang and said something, how could Lao Yang say this.
