Although the golden knife Yang Ye is dead, the golden knife is still there?

What do you mean?

The ministers didn't understand what Zhao Gu meant, and Zhao Guangyi did the same, but he didn't want to ask, after all, since Zhao Gu temporarily emerged, he felt that his IQ couldn't keep up, and as the emperor, he felt that it was better not to expose his ignorance too much. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Fortunately, one of the ministers spoke.

"Zhuozhou Guhou, I don't know what you mean? Could it be that we let General Yang Ye's golden knife be the commander? ”

Zhao Gu smiled: "I mean, there is a successor to General Yang Ye, and this person can be ordered to hold a golden knife and break the Liao soldiers." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and then they all turned their heads to look at an official in his thirties in the corner.

This official is tall, with broad shoulders, powerful arms, and a heroic air all over his body, but he is a little nondescript in his official uniform, as if he was born to wear armor to be worthy of him.

His appearance is also very outstanding, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which makes people impressed by just one glance.

This person is the son of Yang Ye, the golden knife, Yang Yanzhao.

After Yang Ye died in battle, Yang Yanzhao inherited his father's will, and led the army to block the Liao soldiers many times.

Zhao Guangyi also looked at Yang Yanzhao, looking at his face that was quite similar to Yang Ye, Zhao Guangyi's face rarely appeared a touch of softness, and said: "The golden sword general Yang Ye was known as the invincible general back then, and his face did not change in the face of thousands of troops and horses, and he still led the army seven in and seven out, I still remember General Yang's majestic posture, but because of this, Yang Yanzhao is more and more unable to go on the expedition, General Yang Ye is such a lone seedling, I have exhausted General Yang Ye, and I don't want to see his lone seedling ...... again, alas." ”

Hearing him say this, Zhao Gu immediately realized that Zhao Guangyi was moved by his suggestion, but as he said, Yang Yanzhao is the only seedling of the Yang family, and he must not have an accident, otherwise Zhao Guangyi will be criticized.

Yang Yanzhao's face did not change, even though he knew that Zhao Guangyi felt guilty about his father, he was not pampered and arrogant, hearing everyone mention his father, Yang Yanzhao walked quickly to the center of the hall, first respectfully hugged Zhao Guangyi with a fist, and then said: "There is the emperor who is worried about the bloodline of the Yang family, and the minister is grateful to the emperor instead of the deceased father." ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled: "General Yang died for my Great Song Dynasty, I should care about you, it just so happens that you are also here now, what do you think of Zhao Changyan and Zhao Gu's suggestions?" ”

Yang Yanzhao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhao Gu rolled his eyes when he watched from the side, he thought that Zhao Guangyi cared about Yang Ye's face and didn't want Yang Yanzhao to go on the expedition, but he didn't expect him to still have this thought.

Don't you see that Cao Bin and other ministers want to lead the army to the battle, but no one dares to ask for their lives?

The practice of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, the ministers who lead the troops to fight can only be appointed by the emperor and the Privy Council, and no one is allowed to ask for orders without authorization, otherwise they will definitely be suspected of plotting against them. What are you so trying to do with the army? Do you want to rebel?

This is the norm of the Great Song Dynasty, so when Zhao Guangyi asked Yang Yanzhao what he thought, it actually meant that he wanted Yang Yanzhao to go on the expedition in his heart, otherwise what would you ask him to do? Didn't you see that the appointments of Cao Bin and Pan Mei were all suggested by others? Why didn't Zhao Guangyi ask their opinions?

So in fact, Zhao Guangyi asked this question to tell Yang Yanzhao, I want you to lead the army to the battle, but you are the only seedling in your family, I am embarrassed to speak, so you can ask for your own life.

The emperor's mind is really unpredictable!

Zhao Gu secretly glanced at the other ministers again, and found that everyone didn't seem to have a trace of discoloration, I don't know if they didn't see this, or if they had already seen it.

And the reason why Yang Yanzhao didn't answer immediately was that he had already understood what Zhao Guangyi meant, and he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's wishes, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask for his life, so as not to arouse suspicion, which was really a dilemma.

But Yang Yanzhao is not a stupid person, who is stupid who can leave a name in the history books?

I only heard Yang Yanzhao then replied: "Back to the emperor's words, the minister thinks that the two Zhao lords are reasonable, if the deceased father is still alive, he will definitely be the commander of the road." As for Zhuozhou Guhou's statement that the minister went out on behalf of his father, it was a matter of filial piety and the reputation of his deceased father, and the minister ...... The minister wants to ask the emperor for his permission. ”

What did he mean by that? Probably that is to say, if Yang Ye is still alive, the coach of this road can be arranged for him, but Yang Ye is dead now, and Zhao Gu said that he wants Yang Yanzhao to go on the expedition on behalf of his father, Yang Yanzhao is filial piety, and in order to prove that Yang Ye's descendants are not wrecked, so he implored Zhao Guangyi to agree to this matter and give Yang Yanzhao a chance to fulfill his filial piety.

Listen, what a reasonable answer, it has nothing to do with the government at all, but what is decided is the major affairs of the court, and even Zhao Guangyi can't find a reason to refuse.

The most important thing is that because he mentioned filial piety, it is equivalent to affirming that he did not go out to rebel, but to fulfill filial piety, which completely dispelled the suspicions of the emperor and ministers.

Moreover, he used such a reason, which was actually in response to Zhao Guangyi's gesture, but this reason had nothing to do with Zhao Guangyi at all, which was equivalent to giving Zhao Guangyi a step down.

Sure enough, Zhao Guangyi laughed after hearing this: "Okay, sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, then you will be the commander of the third road army, but Yang Yanzhao, you have to remember that if the situation changes, you need to protect the whole body, and you can't break the Yang family's incense." ”

Yang Yanzhao looked grateful, and choked up: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, and the ministers swear to overcome obstacles for the emperor and recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun." ”

"Okay, I'm very relieved to have your words." Zhao Guangyi nodded, and then said: "I think that the three-way army seems to be less, so it is better to add one more road, where is Yi Dechao?" ”

"The minister is here." An official in his forties responded.

"Yi Dechao, you have also guarded the frontier for many years, and you will be the commander of the Fourth Route Army." Zhao Guangyi said.

"Yes." Yi Dechao responded.

Zhao Guangyi said again: "Since there is a large army going out, it is naturally indispensable to supervise the army, Wang Jien, you can go for a trip." ”

The great eunuch Wang Jien hurriedly responded: "The old slave obeys the order. ”

At this time, Zhao Pu, who had not spoken much, said: "Your Majesty, this expedition to Liao is all Zhao Gu's strategy, it is better to let him join the army in this four-way army, and it is better to give advice." ”

"Well, yes, then Zhao Gu will be with ...... The other three ways to join the army are appointed by the Privy Council. ”
