Bishui is a natural moat outside the south city gate, there is a stone bridge on the river leading directly to the outside of the city gate, under the bare willow tree at the head of the bridge, Li Deliang with a few entourage, driving a carriage is waiting there, seeing Zhang Yue arrived, Lao Yuan stood on the wheel and shouted.

At this time, it was not easy to see each other, Zhang Yue waved his hand, indicating that they would go back and wait first, and suddenly saw the carriage curtain lifted, revealing Cheng Yachan's bright and moving face, full of earnest smiles, and suddenly his heart was suddenly burst, a little empty. But thinking that she and Yang Junping have similar backgrounds, there should be something to say, so it's better to let them know each other first.

"Zhang Da! Go say hello to Li Deliang, drive the four carriages behind to the Miyang Restaurant, and ask him to help Ping Niangzi settle down! ”

"Okay!" Zhang Zhixing agreed, beat the horse and left the team to arrange.

Zhang Yue took Han Sheng, accompanied by Chen Jia with several horses, and Chang Deben and Dong Chengli went all the way to the state office, and when they arrived at the door, Dong Chengli sent someone to take Chen Jia and other entourages to rest, and the war horse was taken to the stable to take care of.

After the gate, the Yimen entered the state office, and went directly to the back hall, which is usually the place where the state assassin office office, it seems that the entourage of Prime Minister Li Gu is not much, otherwise the state government will not be able to live. There was no fanfare all over the sentry posts in the state office, and everything seemed very low-key.

There were two soldiers guarding the door of the back hall, Chang Deben went over to say hello first, went in to make a report, and after a while, ran out again, stood by the door and waved. Zhang Yue stepped forward quickly, stopped at the door, and tidied up his slightly messy and simple robes.

When I entered the door, I saw an old man in a purple robe sitting behind a table under a row of bookshelves, and two middle-aged officials in crimson official uniforms, probably Honshu Thorn Shi and Beijia, sat on one side to accompany each other, and the three of them were talking about something.

"Zhang Yue, the deputy envoy of the former division of the last general's palace, meet Li Xianggong!" Zhang Yue entered the door and saluted.

"Although he is young, he is indeed a talent! No wonder Your Majesty is willing to give you a watchword! Informal summons, you're welcome, sit aside! Li Gu wears a stiff-footed sara head, about fifty years old, medium build, a square and ruddy face, a chin and five long hairs on his lips, and looks extraordinary, calm and generous.

"Then the officials will retire temporarily, if Li Xiang has any instructions, he can send someone to spread the word at any time!" The two state officials looked at Zhang Yue and saw that Li Gu might have something to say, so they got up and retired.

Li Gu nodded, and said with a smile: "Wang Qiwu made a statement to His Majesty to take Yuezhou, and now you have indeed succeeded, and you have also made great contributions, and you will have your own reward when you return to Beijing." It's just the situation in Tanzhou, if you want to say it's simple and simple, if you want to say it's complicated, it's really a thousand things, you personally captured Yuezhou, you must know a lot, let's hear it! ”

"That's true! Then let's talk about the complicated things simply. Zhang Yue thought about it, secretly sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "Generally speaking, there are two aspects to the affairs of Tanzhou, one is internal contradiction and external contradiction, and this is another internal military and political confusion, and in the short term, there is no possibility of solving it, so it is the best way to try to check and balance." ”

"Tell me more about these two points!" Li Gu looked quite interested.

"Originally, the territory of Ma Chu was divided into four square towns, namely Wu'an, Langzhou Wuping, Guizhou Jingjiang, and Wuxi Man, which were governed by Tanzhou, among which Liu Yan had the Langzhou Wuping Army, and Wuximan in Lizhou had always been friendly with it, so Wang Jinkui really had Wu'an and Jingjiang, and still pressed Liu Yan, but his prestige was insufficient, and he still had Liu Yan as the main one, but the contradictions between them would break out sooner or later, and then we would be able to deal with it calmly based on Yuezhou.

The outside is the Southern Tang in the east, and the Southern Han in the south, if the court and the central government do not intervene, maybe Jiangling will also participate, and these people will become a pot of porridge. Zhang Yue explained it succinctly.

"It's about the same as what Young Eunuch Liu reported, but you seem to be more incisive! Liu Yan, Wang Jinkui and others will not talk about the towns they led, but is it possible that the appointments of officials at the state and county levels, as well as the payment of money, grain, and taxes, will all be recovered? "As the central Zaisuke, Li Gu is more concerned about these practical things. As long as these two items are negotiated, the center will have the opportunity to tighten its grip on them in the future.

"I don't know how Young Eunuch Liu talked about it, Dr. Bian rushed to it later, and the money and grain should be handed over, but I'm afraid the appointment of officials is still a little hanging!" Zhang Yue said uncertainly.

"Anyway, it's a good thing that the taxes can be collected, and we will send people south to announce the edict on a certain day to settle this matter as soon as possible. Yuezhou has been promoted to the regimental training state, that is, Zhongzhou, with the addition of Si Gong, Si Bing, Si Shi Sancao, without other drivers and Sima, the first assassin and regimental training envoy is Liu Tao, deputy envoy Yao Chongyu, these two candidates are hand-picked by His Majesty. Can the original record still be used to join the army? If it doesn't work, swap it. ”

"The original record of joining the army in Wang Xinzhong is barely okay, as long as there is a shortage of personnel, Yuezhou can still resume operation quickly." Zhang Yue was nominated by the way, and this Wang Xinzhong was also promoted by half a level, and he was on the eighth grade.

It's just that Liu Tao, the young eunuch of the Shaofu, was appointed as the assassin of Yuezhou, which is equivalent to being demoted again, but the medicine is a rocket-like promotion speed, first promoted to the commander of the capital on a business trip, and then promoted to the deputy envoy of the regimental training.

"That's good! The rest is your will, grant the guerrilla general from the five grades, and the commander of the palace in front of Sisandu! I instruct you to take it back and see it, other things are not your responsibility, you are tired all the way back to the north, go down to rest first, and then you can go back to Tokyo, Your Majesty should have another appointment for you. ”

"It's not going to be a business trip again, it's so tiring to run around!" Zhang Yue smiled bitterly and said tentatively.

This time he was finally promoted to the rank of general, otherwise he would have been a captain, and the officers under his command were not easy to call, some were called generals, some were called fruits, and more were called envoys. From the deputy lieutenant of the accompaniment under the ninth rank to the captain of Zhaowu on the sixth grade, the rank of the sixteenth-rank loose official in the middle is very pitiful.

"How can you say that, you are still young, you have enough merits and qualifications, you will be of great use in the future, you have to do a good job!" Li Gu smiled and counted, asked about some states and counties, and finally ended the conversation.

Walking out of the state office, Chen Jia happily stepped forward and said, "General! Look who's coming! ”

Zhang Yue turned his head to look, and saw a familiar short and thin figure holding a donkey, standing at the corner of the state office, it was Feng Qianhou, and he was opposite Han Sheng, the two reunited after farewell, and they were talking about something.

Zhang Yue stepped forward with great joy and said with a smile: "Mr. Feng! Long time no see! Is the marriage done? I'll have to make up for it later. ”

"Huh...... Just call me Brother Xiaode, why call me Mr., I heard the strange cold. The trivial matters at home are taken care of, and this time I am uninvited, and I plan to go to Tokyo with you to see it for a long time. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and they are full of red light and smile happily.

"That's a good idea! It's just that you went to Tokyo, and your wife misses it every day at home, don't you take them with you? Hearing what he meant, it seemed that he was leaving home alone, so Zhang Yue asked.

"I have relatives in Tokyo, and they left first yesterday, so I didn't wait here for you to arrive!" Feng Qianhou said with a smile.

"That's good! There's a small wine shop here, let's go have a drink first and then talk about ......" Zhang Yue was moved in his heart and happily invited.
