Ye Chen nodded, and then asked the doubts in his heart: "Uncle Yang, why did you suddenly come here from the magistrate of Linzhou, and this place is not something that anyone can come here if they want to, right?" ”

"My family has some power in the court, and a large part of the reason why I was transferred here this time is because of you." Yang Bin replied.

"Because of me?" Ye Chen was shocked by this answer, and was a little confused by Yang Bin.

Yang Bin explained: "Although you are both civil and military, but after all, you have not entered the court as an official, and the current Qi State is no longer the Qi State of the year, this time I can come here, on the one hand, it is the choice of my family, on the other hand, you and I are old acquaintances, so General Wang chose you, and our family chose me." ”

"Are you saying that the Yang family is the general's person, and the general transferred you here half a year ago for now?" Ye Chen now admires Wang Zhitian more and more in his heart, and he can even think of such a distant thing.

"It can be said that our old master used to be the governor of Liuzhou, and although he was an enemy of the general at the beginning, now we have a common enemy, so there is the current matter, but you can rest assured, I will only be beneficial to you in the future." Yang Bin began to tell Ye Chen the original story in detail.

The head of the Yang family was originally the governor of Liuzhou, but Liuzhou used to be the place of the Wang family, and more than 30 years ago, the Wang family's army was defeated from Liuzhou, and then was sent to Linzhou to die.

No one thought that Wang Zhitian could survive such a disadvantaged situation and master Linzhou, but after Wang Zhitian stabilized his foundation, Liuzhou had been divided between the Fang and Liu families.

At that time, the head of the Yang family didn't care about this matter, after all, the state capitals where Fang, Liu, and Wang were all located were all to check and balance them, and even the surrounding state capitals would arrange troops around, saying that they would take care of each other, but in fact, it was for accidents.

Although this cannot completely resist the supremacy of these three families in the local area, it can effectively drag out the situation of the battle and allow reinforcements to respond.

Anyway, everyone is on the opposite side, and the late Emperor Qi also acquiesced to the actions of the two families, so the Yang family did not block this matter, and even opened the door to let them develop there.

However, after more than ten years of calm, the Liu family has been developing their strength in Liuzhou after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, and the old head of the Yang family once persuaded the Qi Emperor, who had just succeeded to the throne, when he was in power, that they could not let them develop like this, otherwise something would happen sooner or later.

It's a pity that Emperor Qi was young at that time, and he was ruled by the prime minister, and finally passed down the holy decree, not to let the Yang family stop it, but to fully support it, and said that it was to prepare for the invasion of the orcs.

"Uncle Yang, is there anything wrong with this?" Ye Chen was a little puzzled when he heard this, since the former Qi Emperor had agreed to garrison the two families in Liuzhou, why did the old head of the Yang family stop it.

"Wrong? This is nothing short of a rebellion. Yang Bin sighed and explained: "Not to mention that there were fewer and fewer wars at that time, and the armies of the three major families were not allowed to exceed one million, this is the rule in the history of the Qi State, even if they occupy five states, as long as there is no army, they will not do anything." However, after so many years of development, none of them is estimated to be less than Emperor Qi's army. ”

"Not only that, the garrison of the border fortress has been baptized by war all year round, how can it be compared to those troops who have been enjoying happiness around the capital, not to mention that there is no war at all now, they do this with the intention of treason."

Yang Bin talked a lot with Ye Chen, and only now did he know how little he knew about this place, he always thought that all official appointments required the imperial examination, and then the officials and Emperor Qi could personally approve it.

As a result, Yang Bin told him that those officials who were only in the capital and the six ministries had to go through this procedure, and the governors of the fifty states were all big families, and they were passed down from generation to generation.

Unless someone commits a serious crime, or like Linzhou, the state city is breached, it is generally impossible to be evacuated, and the ancestors of these people are the founding generals who opened up the territory hundreds of years ago, and it is the promise that their ancestors obtained.

Zheng Gan was able to go to Linzhou to be the governor, and it was also the Fang family who spent a lot of effort, if it weren't for the fear of Emperor Qi's suspicion, they would have let Fang Zhi go a long time ago.

Now, the Liu family is going to attack the position of governor of the Yang family, so that the Yang family has no choice but to unite with Wang Zhitian.

In the end, Yang Bin and Ye Chen talked about Xia Ningdie, Ye Chen's face was solemn after listening to it, others didn't know what it meant, but he was very clear.

This matter is definitely not Wang Zhitian's initiative, but Xia Ningdie's own request, not that Wang Zhitian is reluctant to position, not to mention Xia Ningdie's greed for power, all this is to make him safer and have more time to prepare for Xiazhou's affairs.

However, these Ye Chen just thought about it in his heart, and did not tell Yang Bin that it was late at night after the two chatted, and the two little girls had gone to bed early, and Ye Chen did not bother the two, and began to silently think about how to go in the future.

Before going to Zhenyuan Mansion, Ye Chen's idea was very simple, that is, he wanted to rely on his wisdom and extraordinary skills beyond the ancients to enter the court as an official through the imperial examination, hoping that he could have enough strength to protect the little girl in the end.

Although he is also going to participate in the imperial examination now, he is also going to be an official and slowly develop his strength, but all this is the road arranged for him by Wang Zhitian, everything has already been planned, although he is unwilling to do this in his heart, but there is no better shortcut for him to choose.

The longer I live in this strange place, the more things I know, I don't know how other countries are, but in the country of Qi, if there is no Wang Zhitian's current hand, even if Ye Chentian is down to earth, it is still impossible to do anything.

The three most powerful generals of Qi are all hereditary, and the governorship of the fifty states is also hereditary.

As for the governors, they are all confidants and cronies of various families, prime ministers, deputy ministers, and officials of the six ministries, all of whom are selected from among these people.

There is no such thing as you can be reused if you are talented, whether it is a civilian official or a military attaché, if you want to get ahead, someone must value your ability, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Although it is said that being arranged by others now makes Ye Chen feel very awkward, he is still relatively lucky, at least Wang Zhitian has already made the stakes clear, and there is naturally no need to say more about the danger, but as long as he succeeds, he will be fearless of everything.

What's more, with his current relationship with Xia Ningdie, even if Wang Zhitian didn't choose him at the beginning, in order to protect Xia Ningdie, he would take the initiative to fight for this opportunity.

I don't want to be glorious and rich, I just want to be able to stay with the people I love for a lifetime. (To be continued.) )
