In April of the third year of Daxing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (320 AD), Xie Ai, the commander of the Qin expedition to the south, defeated Chen An, severely damaged Chengguo, attacked and recovered the land of the five counties of Liangzhou, and reported the victory. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause of its extremely efficient and successful completion of the established military tasks, so that the territory of Qin greatly expanded the territory, Russia, Qin Duke Gao Yue issued an edict, officially promoted Xie Ai as the assassin of Liangzhou, promoted to the general of Pingnan, the position of the former military division unchanged, and awarded him the title of son of Nanzheng, so that he supervised the military of the southwest. In addition to gold and silver property, Gao Yue also personally wrote a four-character plaque of 'Bowen Strong Martial Arts' to Xie Ai, as a great affirmation and special praise, so Xie Ai was in the limelight for a while, and the name began to spread throughout the north and south.

In addition, Wan Hong was unsurprisingly promoted to the governor of Liang, and Yang Jiantou was called back, and at the same time, at the request of Xie Ai, Gao Yue pardoned Zhao Zhao and appointed him as the chief secretary of Liangzhou, officially accepting and approving his surrender.

Among them, He Cheng and Yao Xiang are special: according to convention, He Cheng should be appointed as the protector of Liangzhou and promoted to former general or general Zuo. However, Gao Yue learned that He Cheng had a grudge and disobeyed Xie Ai's military orders in public, causing a relatively bad impact. So Gao Yue was angry, and he was supposed to be severely punished, but considering that he later changed his past wrongs, and there was no bad behavior, he also moved forward bravely in the battle, without slackness, and remembered that he had been in the old department for many years after all, and had accumulated merits, so he thought about it again and again, Gao Yue sent a special letter, severely reprimanded He Cheng, and only awarded him a fake Liangzhou capital protection, still the rank of General Ning Yuan, and left it for later meritorious promotion, thinking that it was a light punishment. He Cheng was frightened after receiving the letter, and accepted it respectfully, not daring to think nonsense again.

And Yao Xiang, Gao Yue originally had the idea of appointing him as the deputy protector of Liangzhou. But then I heard that he had almost clashed with He Cheng in public, and he vetoed it in his heart. After all, He Cheng is a general, at least in front of Yao Xiang, he is a senior, and Yao Xiang dares to be rude, put aside the issue of private festival first, at least he doesn't know how to maintain the overall situation at a critical moment, or mediate in the middle, obviously his mentality is not mature enough, and he still needs to be tempered. So Gao Yue ordered Yao Xiang to return to Xiangwu with Yang Jiantou, and later reprimanded him in person for a long time, Yao Xiang was naturally speechless.

It is said that Yang Jiantou was called back. After entering Xiangwu City, he went straight to the Qin Mansion, and after seeing Gao Yue in person, Gao Yue asked a few words lightly, no longer spoke, and just looked at him meaningfully. Behind Gao Yue, Zhou Panlong, who was not far from his attendants, looked over in silence like a mountain, and his face was a little strange. Although Yang Jian's head was rude, he was not stupid, even if he noticed that the atmosphere was different, but he didn't know what was wrong with him, and he didn't dare to ask, he froze on the spot for a while, and his heart was uneasy.

Gao Yue's face was as pale as water, and he couldn't see his expression of joy and anger, and suddenly said: "Yang Jiantou, is Chen An's mother healthy?" ”

Yang Jiantou was originally complicated, and he didn't have time to report it, but when he heard Gao Yue asking, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly explained the cause and effect clearly, and said that he didn't dare to abolish the public for personal reasons, but Chen An is dead now, thinking of his filial piety, and hoping that the lord will forgive his mother.

Gao Yue was noncommittal, bowed his head slightly, and smiled for a while: "Filial piety comes first." Do you think that the widow is the cold-blooded and ruthless person who will repay him? Although Chen An has been my enemy for many years, and we must put each other to death, but as you said, when Chen An is dead, everything will also dissipate, and the widow is the victor, so why harm his old mother for no reason? The widow had already given an order to give her a certain proportion of the monthly supply to Fufeng, and hired someone to take care of her. You can relax, the widow will not force you to be a dishonest person and make you embarrassed. ”

Yang Jiantou was relieved, and even the Daoist Lord was wise and generous, and his subordinates were grateful. When he was breathing a sigh of relief, Gao Yue asked Zhou Panlong to hand over a piece of paper and let him look at it for himself with a smile.

Yang Jian looked down at it, but it was a secret letter. In the letter, he bluntly told Gao Yue that Yang Jian indulged and sat back and watched Chen An commit suicide, and privately promised to be willing to take care of Chen's mother. And the lessons of Li Bao's previous car must be guarded against.

Yang Jian's head was frightened, and then he was furious, his face was red with anger, his whole body trembled, and his brain was hot, and he actually tore the secret letter to pieces on the spot.

"Which dog thief is it, spewing blood like this?"

Yang Jian's head stomped his feet, his eyes turned red with anger, and he beat his chest hard, almost falling into a gaffe, "I, Yang Jiantou, was originally a Xiaodi from Longnan, and I followed the lord by coincidence, and I was always taken care of by the lord, and I was very grateful in my heart." Although I am a rough man, I also know that men value love and righteousness, and they must not be unprovoked, so they are always loyal to the lord. Who would have thought that someone would put this unfaithful basin on my head? Which dog thief is this squirting feces all over his mouth, let him get out, and Lao Tzu hacked him to death with a knife! ”

Speaking of later, because of his excitement and indignation, it was difficult to control himself, Yang Jiantou had forgotten to be a minister, and later he even lost his respect for his words and deeds. He felt that he was a pure martial artist, but now he had no keen awareness of politics, and he was no longer interested, and he felt that it was too tiring and dangerous to fight for power and profit in the court, and it was better to fight the enemy face to face.

If you want to stay away from the tree, someone will have to stir you in. Yang Jiantou was not only angry, but also aggrieved, he couldn't imagine that he, who had never wanted anything in politics, would be secretly shot with a cold arrow.

Gao Yue reprimanded lightly: "Don't be disrespectful!" You don't need to be so excited, your nature, few people still understand, and Li Bao and the like, there is really a difference. You are not wrong in this matter, but you should report it to me in time after the fact, and it will not be true. Don't worry! The reason why the widow handed you this letter is not to suspect you at all, but to remind you in person, pay more attention to your words and deeds in the future, and not to be taken advantage of by others again. ”

Gao Yue admonished and reassured him for a moment, allowing Yang Jiantou to retreat. Yang Jian walked on the road blankly, still angry in his heart. Gao Yue's trust in him naturally reassured him, but the slander of being used by others for no reason could not help but make him feel emotional. Yang Jian thought to himself that he was indeed too rude on weekdays, and sometimes he didn't pay much attention to etiquette when getting along with his colleagues, and he might inadvertently offend anyone. But this time, who is behind it? According to his understanding and feeling, Xie Ai is definitely not this kind of person, He Cheng is also a rectum who can only attack in front of him and will not hurt people with secret arrows, and the rest of the people in Liangzhou have no reason to slander him. After thinking about it, my head hurts, and I really can't think of who I have offended.

On this side, Gao Yue looked at the direction where Yang Jian's head had already gone, thoughtfully. After a while, he took the secret letter back in his hand, glanced at it silently, and suddenly sneered, his face was already as cold as ice.

Within a few days, Gao Yue's order arrived, and Yang Jiantou was appointed as the Taishou of Zitong and promoted to the general of rebellion. After receiving the order, Yang Jiantou was stunned and speechless for a long time. Since he joined Gao Yue, for several years, Yang Jiantou has been serving by Gao Yue's side, and he is a forward general; entered, as a guard, almost similar to Zhou Panlong, once belonged to Gao Yue's close generals, and never left. Now that he was suddenly released, although he got the opportunity to be alone that many people wanted, Yang Jiantou didn't mention much interest, and he even wondered if Gao Yue had lost trust in him from then on.

When people have thoughts, they inevitably think crankily. However, once the sovereign has given an order, he will not be allowed to prolong his stay without any subordinate. Gao Yue asked Zhou Panlong to pass the word, asking Yang Jiantou to go directly to Nanzheng to report to Xie Ai, and then go to Zitong to take office. So Yang Jian was ignorant and lonely, and he didn't bother to greet his colleagues, so he was about to leave Xiangwu abruptly.

didn't want to go halfway, but was invited back to the Changshi Mansion by Yang Ke. Yang Jian was at a loss, but Yang Ke has never liked to socialize, but today he took the initiative to call each other, there must be something not to be neglected, and to listen to him in person.

When I met, I didn't have any special complexion when I saw Yang Ke, he was still so calm, with some smiles, let Yang Jian sit with his head down, chat a few words about business first, and then ask if he was healthy and eating well, all of which were counted as greetings.

"Jiantou, your brother, has sent someone to inquire about your well-being, and has asked me several times in private, that I will definitely look after you no matter what. Hehe, in fact, the eldest prince still has a deep brotherly affection for you, but he may not know how to express it in person. ”

Yang Nandi has a very personal relationship with Yang Ke, and it is true that he secretly asked Yang Ke to take care of Yang Jiantou several times. Although the two brothers once quarreled for the crown prince to the point of almost breaking openly, as the dust of the crown prince settled and the two brothers were separated, the passage of time diluted the interests and subsided the resentment, and the emotions of blood thicker than water still came back to the heart.

Yang Jian was stunned, and he knew that Yang Ke's words were true, and he himself no longer hated his brother as much as he did back then. There was some emotion in his heart, but he didn't want to be softened immediately, Yang Jian half-turned his head and said, "My eldest brother...... Will he keep me in his heart too, it's rare. But no matter what, to be able to get your care from Changshi, Jiantou is also grateful. ”

Yang Ke smiled and said: "Brothers work together, their profits are gold, you won't understand this meaning." If you want to say that I take care of you, in fact, I haven't done anything, and now you have made a lot of merits and made a name and status by virtue of your true ability, and you are a proud minister before the lord, and you don't need any special care from me. ”

Yang Jiantou was silent. Ban Yan hung his head slightly and said, "Alas." I don't know how to say it. Someone maliciously slandered me behind my back, and the lord seemed to believe it, and now he has ...... I shouldn't have complained in front of Changshi, but it was, alas. ”

Yang Ke waved his hand, and the subordinates who served all bowed down and retreated. There were only two of them left in the hall. Yang Ke looked at Yang Jiantou with deep eyes, and said slowly: "I know, I know." Not only do I know your feelings and worries, but my lord also knows them. Let me tell you straight, do you think the Lord will really believe that secret letter? ”

Yang Jian's head raised suddenly, and his voice unconsciously raised a few degrees: "But, it's serious!" ”

Yang Ke didn't know when, but he had already put away his smile and said with a slight bow: "Of course." You're wrong to blame the lord. By letting you out, the Lord is temporarily disconnecting you from the center of right and wrong, and is deliberately protecting you. Your hard work, your loyalty to him, and your bravery have never been forgotten by the Lord. He mentioned to me that if you say that in the future, which courtier is absolutely reliable and can even trust Gu, you Yang Jiantou will definitely be one. ”

These words were not loud, but they almost made Yang Jiantou cry on the spot. He had always been worried about loss in his heart, and at this moment, there was nothing more than Gao Yue's incomparable trust, and he was immediately relieved. He couldn't help but repeat in his heart the four-character proverb of 'no distractions' passed down by Gao Yue's envoy Zhou Panlong, and he was extremely emotional.

"It's just that now there are rumors that the lord is waiting to be dealt with, but he can't deal with it immediately. He is waiting for the opportunity to stop this crooked wind, so he will wait and see what happens for the time being. There are some things you don't understand, but just go to Zitong with peace of mind, don't have any ideological baggage, after a while, when the limelight passes, the lord will naturally have his arrangements. ”

Yang Jiantou left happily. Looking at his back, Yang Ke's white face suddenly dimmed, and he thought thoughtfully for a moment, and finally only sighed.
