On the third day of Li Yan's ascension to the throne in Daming Palace, Yang Hao ascended to the throne in Liquan Daying, accepted the gold medal golden sword, and officially assumed the position of the swords of the Thorn Horse Battalion. Li Yan fulfilled his promise, and on the day he ascended the throne, he granted Yang Hao the position of the chief manager of the Divine Sword and Baoli Society.

The emperor and the chief steward took office on the same day, and the swords and high-ranking swordsmen who were busy as officials in the court and the central government had just finished attending the emperor's enthronement ceremony, and they immediately ran to the Liquan camp to participate in the ascension ceremony of the new chief governor, which lasted until dawn on the second day.

After the ceremony, many people hurried back to Chang'an City, each showed their magic to open the city gate, and rushed to Daming Palace to participate in the court meeting, especially those who served as high-level horizontal swords and swords in the stabbing horse camp The important ministers of the court are even more miserable.

Some people can't help but secretly rejoice when they see this scene, thinking that they have a glimpse of the opportunity to dance with long sleeves.

As a rule, when the chief manager is promoted, in addition to the high-level horizontal swords and swords of the main society, the high-level horizontal swords and swords of other societies in Beijing must also participate. After all, the chief manager is the chief manager of the Baoli Society, but the divine sword is the big sword of the Thorn Horse Battalion, and his respect, who dares to underestimate it.

The speed and quality of Concubine Yang's rise in status in the Thorn Horse Camp were not below Yang Hao, and she jumped all the way from the ninth rank to the second rank saber in less than two years after she entered the camp. She also arrived on the day of Yang Hao's ascension ceremony, and a saber visited Yang Hao on the etiquette, and the new saber must be received in person, but it was too busy that day, and Yang Hao didn't even take care of her, until dawn on the second day, the ascension ceremony ended, and the swords and horizontal swords left one after another, and Yang Hao sent someone to intercept Concubine Yang back in a chaos.

Concubine Yang was wearing a delicate silver mask, and Yang Hao had already put on a gold mask, but after the two met, Yang Hao took off the mask first, and there was no one around, and Concubine Yang also took off the mask.

Dongfang Lan served tea, and Concubine Yang laughed and said, "What a handsome guy, what's your name." ”

Dongfang Lan said her name and stepped aside. Yang Hao said: "If you like it, you will give it to your mother." ”

Concubine Yang was drinking tea, and when she heard this, she put down the tea bowl and said with burning eyes: "Are you willing?" ”

Yang Hao immediately said to Dongfang Lan: "Clean up, clean up, and go back to the palace with Niangniang." ”

Dongfang Lan responded, turned around and left.

Concubine Yang hurriedly stopped, covered her lips with her slender jade hand and giggled, after laughing, she stared at Yang Hao and said, "What do you mean by sending a man to me, do you think that the palace ban of Daming Palace is useless?" That's going to be a head loss. ”

Yang Hao said: "I'm worried that something will happen to my mother, so I sent someone to protect me." ”

Concubine Yang said: "Even so, you shouldn't send an unpurified man into the palace, how do you want me to get along with him." Besides......" Concubine Yang's face suddenly turned cold: "Do you want your Baoli Society to send someone to protect the sword I opened the Cheng Society?" Mr. Yang, your hand is too long. ”

After she finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave, Dongfang Qing, who was guarding the door, led four iron-clad guards to block her way, Concubine Yang turned her head and glared at Concubine Yang, and scolded: "What do you mean by this?" Are you going to kidnap me? The emperor is gone, and I am still the imperial concubine. ”

"The Imperial Princess." Yang Hao corrected, and then felt that this might be a little inappropriate, Li Yan and Li Ang are brothers, Concubine Yang is Li Yan's imperial sister-in-law, whether he should be crowned the imperial concubine He was a little uncontrollable, he wanted to ask the Dongfang brothers, think about it or forget it, these two people may not know more than themselves, or don't let them be naughty.

"The new emperor ascends the throne, the world is decided, and the good days of Kaicheng Society and Yamato Society are coming to an end, this ...... Yang also left his mother out of good intentions, ah, this, he didn't want his mother to be hurt. ”

"Thanks to the kindness of the Chief, I can take care of myself."

Concubine Yang puffed up her chest and wanted to break through a gap, but it seemed that Dongfang Qing and his armor soldiers had the slightest pity for the jade. Concubine Yang retreated very hatefully, and reprimanded Yang Hao: "Don't think that you can cover the sky with one hand as the chief manager, you forced the former imperial concubine to stay in the camp, what kind of crime is this, have you thought about it?" If I don't return for a day, the news will surely come out, and then ......"

"At that time, public opinion was boiling, and everyone in the world drowned me with a mouthful of foam, didn't it? Alas, Concubine Yang, Concubine Yang, my sister of the Yang family, do you know why you were defeated? Childish, naïve, you know? Playing adult games, but growing a child's head, this is childishness. What public opinion, what boiling, what people in the world...... Those are all false. ”

Yang Hao made a gesture of blowing soap bubbles, held up his right hand, as if holding up a string of soap bubbles, and blew it with a puff, as if the soap bubbles flew up, he raised his head and looked at the soap bubbles flying towards the sky.

"Smack!" He grinned, "False things look great, but they're actually very useless. ”

He turned his back to Concubine Yang and continued: "Kaicheng and Yamato have already failed, Li Yu, an authentic villain, has just changed his court and is ready to serve the new master, and your prime minister's nephew is also looking for a way to prepare to recognize the new master." But let me tell you, none of these people can live, today they can betray Yamato and Kaicheng, tomorrow he can betray Baoli and Yuanhe, as long as they are not fools, they will not be accepted into the door, anyway, I disdain to be in the company of such villains. ”

Yang Haozhi walked up to Concubine Yang proudly, bent down and stared at her eyes, and said, "And no matter whether others accept it or not, they can still change the court." What about you, my sister of the Yang family, which one are you going to turn around? Say it and I'll introduce it to you. ”

"The villain has a will!" Concubine Yang squeezed out these four words from between her teeth.

"This is called heaven rewarding hard work." Yang Hao corrected, "Not everyone can succeed casually. There may not be no heroes among the losers, but you have to remember that the winners must be heroes. ”

Concubine Yang snorted softly and asked, "Then what are you, the big hero, going to do with me, a loser." ”

"Well, you'll have to let me think about it." Yang Hao leaned on the Hu chair, tilted his head to look at Concubine Yang, and kept drawing circles on his temples with his right index finger, making a gesture of thinking hard.

"If you have a good idea, you can say it." He looked very generous.

"Enough, the soldier can be killed, not humiliated." Concubine Yang trembled angrily, "Kill and survive, listen to it." ”

She tried to break through Dongfang Qing's defense again, but failed once.

"Yang Hao, what do you want?" Concubine Yang finally couldn't help but roar, and it seemed that her angry appearance was more lively than the way she was holding it.

"Shi can be killed, but not humiliated, let the girl go." Yang Hao spoke, Dongfang Qing immediately withdrew, and the road outside the tent was opened, and the tent door was also beaten, and a cold morning breeze poured in, and it was dawn outside, and the sun was very good.

Concubine Yang's heart was cloudy, Yang Hao called out her ru, this ru's name has been rarely used since entering the palace, Li Ang's new name for her is Yang Lu, saying that she is like a crystal clear dew when she is quiet, and when she runs on the grass, she looks like a cute deer. Lu and Lu have the same sound, Concubine Yang said that this name is very good, but she rarely uses it, except for Li Ang Palace, few people call her by her name, and in the past four years, this name has been forgotten at all.

Yang Meier, Yang Meier, he calls me with his own mother, and calls me a girl, what does he want to do?

A crystal teardrop flowed out of Concubine Yang's eyes, slid down her cheeks, and fell. She suddenly understood something, and then she turned around, walked in front of Yang Hao, bowed to him Yingying, and said, "Yang Mei'er bowed to the handsome." ”

When she raised her head again, the whole person seemed to be a different person, her face was free of disguise, and her posture became lighter. The favored Yang Lu in Daming Palace is gone, and there is only one Yang Meier in the new world. Like a beautiful butterfly, she flew out of the cold tent, greeted the sun, flew in the cold morning breeze, and flew to a vast and bright new world.

Yang Hao also walked to the door of the tent, he took a deep breath, the air is so good, the weather is so bright, how beautiful the sky of Datang is.

Hey, what's the mess over there?

"Dongfang Lan, go see what's going on over there."

"Order."

"Report to the commander." Dongfang Lan ran back, "with an embarrassed look on her face." ”

"Say, what's going on?"

"Mother, oh no, Miss Mei'er, she ......"

"What's wrong with her? Say! ”

"Miss Mei'er, she ...... She fell into a puddle. ”

"Fuck you! Who pushed her in. ”

"No one pushed, she stumbled and slipped down."

"Oh, it's dead."

"No, sitting there and swearing."

"Hehe......" Yang Hao laughed happily.

"Mei'er girl, she ......"

"What's wrong with her?"

"She scolds people like a shrew......"

"Vixen? …… The term is misappropriate. Yang Hao shook his head and said, "It's really not appropriate at all, if Concubine Yang can be like a shrew, at least she won't be defeated so quickly." Oh, I forgot, her name is Yang Meier now. ”

Yang Hao didn't ask Yang Mei'er about falling into the puddle again, he turned around and went back to the tent, changed out of the robe of the general manager, put on the purple and gold robe of the generalissimo of the Northwest Fifth Army specially set up for him, and rushed to the Chinese army tent: Li Yan had already preliminarily fulfilled his promise, and Yang Hao must also fulfill his promise - immediately pull out the camp and withdraw to Hexi.

On the way back to Hexi, Yang Hao successively obtained two additional officers: from the general of the second rank town and from the third rank of the commander to protect the army. Li Yan is a very interesting person.

On the one hand, he tried his best to overcome public opinion, and tailor-made for himself the official position of generalissimo of the Northwest Fifth Army with the three dukes, so that he could ascend to the sky in one step and sit on an equal footing with the prince and the three fairs, which not only saved his face, but also avoided his own rise too fast, which caused the courtiers to criticize. On the other hand, he gave himself the rank of general of the town and the protector army, which invisibly lowered his identity.

This guy is really interesting.

But for Yang Hao, it doesn't matter, he can't find a feeling for being an official of the Tang Dynasty, he is already the absolute overlord of the Northwest Land, which of the officials appointed by himself is not respectful to him, and no matter how big the official is, he can't show his prestige, as for the army, the five armies in the northwest are all their own soldiers, and a generalissimo's hat is enough.

Now the only thing that can mention his interest is the position of the head of the Baoli Society, although he has been officially promoted, but it is obvious that he is still an empty commander. The former Grand Governor and the current Son of Heaven always found all kinds of excuses to refuse to hand over power. It is an ancient adage to say that "the sword will not leave Beijing", and with occasional exceptions, it is also out of necessity.

As a god sword, it is even more forbidden to leave Beijing, this is not a question of whether the ancestral training can be changed, but it cannot be changed at all, the chief manager sits in the world and commands the Quartet, this is the right way. There are so many swords and high-level horizontal swords in the court, do you want them to go to Xiaochang'an or Fairy Mountain every day to ask you for instructions, this ......

Yang Hao didn't want to listen to it anymore, what the former chief manager and the current emperor said couldn't be said to be completely unreasonable, Xiao Chang'an is only the center of gravity in the northwest, and Chang'an is the foundation of the world. If he is nested in the northwest, he can only grab the job of the northwest saber with the title of chief manager.

Leaving this stall in the northwest to go to Chang'an City, I am awkward, Li Yan is afraid that it will be even more awkward, and Qiu Shiliang is afraid that he will be even more on pins and needles. Forget it, the northwest is its own base, and it can't be lost for the time being, not only can't it be lost, but I also have to work hard to manage it, and I can keep my feet steady and my waist straight.

As for the Baoli Society's stall, the chief manager's hat will definitely not be granted, and if the sword and high-level horizontal knife don't come to the audience, don't come, the hand book or something, or hand it over to the northwest, in short, the real power can be temporarily faked to others, but the name can't be lost, as long as the name is kept. When the northwest is stable and enterprising Chang'an, it is logical to take over the power of the Baoli Society.

Of course, it would take a lot of effort to get the veterans and cadres in the society to buy the accounts of the chief manager in the northwest corner. Every organization has a natural exclusivity, the more stable the organization, the more exclusive it is, the Thorn Horse Camp is a very stable organization, and the Baoli Society has already become an independent kingdom that cannot be penetrated by a needle under Li Chen's training.

If you want to control this organization, you will never be able to do it without a little effort.

Yang Hao originally wanted to get Li Chen to Xiaochang'an, supervise the army as the emperor's uncle, but actually put him under house arrest, and he learned from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and use Li Chen's prestige to control the Baoli Society.

Li Yan disagreed, and insisted on taking his imperial uncle back to Chang'an and secluded in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion and placing it under his supervision, so he did not hesitate to take out Concubine Yang and other sixteen heads that Yang Hao was interested in in exchange.

Yang Hao decided to promise to make concessions, the sixteen heads were all what he wanted, some wanted to kill, and some wanted to protect.

On the day Li Chen was sent back to the city, the weather was very good, sunny and cloudless. But since Li Chen walked out of the tent, suddenly the wind and clouds changed color, the black clouds rolled over, and a huge dragon was faintly swimming in the clouds. Yang Hao was shocked, and Liu Pan was even more frightened, he quietly came to Yang Hao's side and said nervously: "This is a sign of the true dragon emperor." Dashuai, you are going to return to the sea. ”

Yang Hao snorted aggressively and said, "What is the true dragon emperor?" It's going to rain, so let's go back and collect your clothes. ”

Yang Hongyang and Wu Chenglong were also amazed by this strange celestial phenomenon, the two of them stood in the small courtyard and looked up at the sky, Wu Chenglong's face was happy, but Yang Hongyang's face was melancholy. Wu Chenglong said: "This is a sign that the dragon has entered the sea, why is my brother sad?" Could it be ......"

Yang Hongyang hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't, there is no Mo Fei, I also want the real dragon to return to the sea as soon as possible." But you say...... Would that too? ”

Wu Chenglong snorted and said: "If he knows each other, he shouldn't act rashly, even if he doesn't know the image, it doesn't matter, the destiny of heaven is what he can stop as a mortal?" ”

Yang Hongyang nodded when he heard this, and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense." Wu's shopkeeper is a master. ”

Before leaving, Li Chen asked Yang Hao to let Wu Chenglong go back to Luoyang and send the sheep to Jiannan.

Yang Hao thought for a while and said: "The two brothers are not guests in Yang's camp, I don't care where they go, I don't know Jiannan, the second brother wants to go, go by yourself, if you lack entanglement, my brother has a thousand gold." ”

Yang Hongyang glanced at him and said viciously: "Who is your brother, who wants your daughter." ”

Li Chen laughed and said, "Since you are not his brother, it doesn't hurt to marry his daughter." ”

Wu Chenglong laughed, and Yang Hongyang blushed and said, "Your Highness, you can really help him play tricks on the lowly." ”

Li Chen smiled and reassured: "That's it, that's it, you don't want his daughter, take my jade pendant to sell it, and you can also be your entanglement." Li Chen took off his portable jade pendant and handed it to Yang Hongyang, Yang Hongyang was just about to refuse, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood: Li Chen wanted him to go to Jiannan to contact the old department in his own name.

He asked Yang Hao to send someone to escort him just to test Yang Hao's attitude towards this matter, Yang Hao was unwilling to mix, but he didn't stop it, and even had the intention of helping.

Understanding this, Yang Hongyang kowtowed to Li Chen, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, take care, Yang Hongyang has gone." So he shed tears and went away.

Yang Hao watched Li Chen board the car sent by Li Yan to pick him up and take him back to the city and gradually left, and the rolling sky suddenly cleared.

Under the spring sun, Chang'an is like a young woman who has just woken up, yawning lazily and welcoming her husband home with a pair of hazy sleepy eyes.

……

"Pinch it! Pinch it! Let his uncle and nephew pinch it hard! It is better to strangle one and seriously injure one; It's best if both of them are dead, neither of them are dead, and it's not bad to be seriously injured. The worst also made the two people fall out. Yang Hao prayed silently in his heart, "After the uncle and nephew are pinched, by the way, Qiu Shiliang and Yu Hongzhi will also be strangled, and I will do it again, Amen." ”

Yang Hao bowed and bowed in the direction of Chang'an Daming Palace, and just got up.

Suddenly, I saw a team of yellow-shirted envoys riding white horses and holding an edict from the direction of Chang'an:

Said: Zhaode Yijue, the former king Lingfan; Meritorious service is rewarded, and there is a national legacy. The generalissimo of the Northwest Fifth Army, the deputy ambassador of the Daojiedu, Xia Sui, Zhenwu, Tiande and other Daojiedu, the general of the town army and the upper protection army Yang Hao, realized the right early, and dreamed of the Chengjie Festival. At the beginning of the revolutionary movement, he made meritorious contributions to the northwest, guarded the frontier, and controlled the famine. Loyalty is declared, and it is advisable to add favors. It can be given to the prince of Xining County and eat 500 households.

After listening to the edict, Yang Hao suddenly felt a little unhappy: Alas, didn't you say that you would be crowned the king of the county, why is it shorter? The emperor is also short of two?
