Due to the great chaos in the world, the divided countries have been fighting for years and have no time to take care of anything else, and the standardized management of overseas trade has been neglected for a long time. The emperor probably didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he vaguely ordered Yang Zhi to go to Shandong to prepare for the establishment of the customs in the name of inspection, but he did not entrust him with specific official positions or make a clear announcement. Strictly speaking, Yang Zhi's order to go out to Beijing to inspect can only be regarded as unofficial gossip. People who don't know why just guessed that the emperor must have given him some power, and only a few important ministers who accompanied the emperor on the wedding day witnessed the emperor's gold medal.

Zhou Tingwei has become humble for many years, and the words "such as I come in person" have a lot of weight, but he was not intimidated by the royal gold medal. After staring at it attentively for a moment, he bowed solemnly: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Although Zhou Ting's words were very polite after bowing to the courtesy, Yang Zhi was full of taste: "The old man has followed the emperor for more than 30 years, and today is the first time to see this royal gold medal, how fortunate it is!" Master Hou, I believe you! ”

Yang Zhi usually seems to be lazy and casual, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair, and every major event is extremely detailed. Thinking to himself, there was no lack of overtones in Zhou Ting's words: I have never seen anything in your hand, it's hard to say whether it's true or not, but I'm willing to believe that it's true. It's okay for Thaksin to believe, but if not, what will happen? Zhou Ting is still suspicious of the emperor's die-hard loyalty, but what about the people who are jealous of the gold medal? It is absolutely necessary to keep a low profile in the actual power of the forbidden army, and it is absolutely necessary to use the power of public opinion of the government and the opposition to declare the supreme authority of the gold medal in a high-profile manner, reasonable and legitimate!

Zhou Ting's caution is understandable, Yang Zhi is here to seek his full cooperation, not to find fault and be mad. inadvertently smiled faintly: "Those who don't know are not guilty, the general is serious." It is difficult to say whether the people who have this gold medal and who have seen this gold medal are lucky or not. ”

Although he said it was relaxed and casual, it sounded very light and heavy to Zhou Ting. It is implicitly determined that Zhou Ting is guilty if he has the slightest doubt about the authenticity of the gold medal. Zhou Ting knew that Yang Zhi was a euphemism to remind him that he must take a firm stance and not stand on the wrong line, so he couldn't help but scold himself for talking too much, he wasn't stupid enough to say anything more along this topic, so he just nodded his head and said yes.

Think for a moment. I took the pen and ink on the blank order on the paper, and took out a stack of blank orders, solemnly signed the name one by one at the sign-off place, and handed it over to Yang Zhi. Said decisively: "Master Hou, with the gold medal given by the emperor and the emperor, coupled with your prestige in the army, I believe that when it comes to a critical time, even if there is no general seal and military talisman." At least tens of thousands of soldiers can be mobilized! The old man's honor and disgrace are small, and the survival of the society and the common people are big. In the future, Hou Ye and Xu Xiangfan will have a place to get the old man, even if they are told! ”

More than ten blank general orders have been stamped with bright red and dazzling forbidden army generals in advance without exception, and Zhou Ting's doing so is equivalent to giving up life and death and honor and disgrace, which shows that he has thought it out and prepared early.

There is nothing right or wrong in the struggle for the throne, history is always written by the winners, and the fate of the losers is usually extremely tragic. Zhou Ting is a loyal minister, but also a pure minister, and his loyal and pure quality is obviously hundreds of times more solid than Yang Zhi, which is awe-inspiring.

Yang Zhi praised from the bottom of his heart: "Elephants are invisible. Loud voice. In the next day, we know that the demeanor of the general is not inferior to any famous general in the world, and he really deserves a big word! ”

Zhou Tingqian said: "Thanks to the praise, the old man just wants to be worthy of his heart." And please ask the Hou Ye to advise, will the old man still agree? ”

Yang Zhi took a closer look at Zhou Tingwen's general order written without adding points, which can be called a drop of water: the general was ordered to lie down in the military affairs of the sick committee, and Yang Zhi joined the army with the first-class Flying Tiger Marquis and the five grades of the forbidden army, and selected a number of elite clerks and assistants to serve as counselors, this order!

According to the official system of Great Xia, enjoying a knighthood and appointing a substantive position are completely different things. There is no lack of precedent in officialdom and the army, and the title of Yang Zhiyi Marquis and the dual identity of the Forbidden Army Wupin joining the army are not contradictory at all. Since Geng Chao led the remnants of the raid army to return to Beijing from Shuofang, at that time, everyone, including the emperor, thought that Yang Zhi had died of martyrdom, and after miraculously surviving, he caught up with An Guihou's incident. At the beginning, his five-rank army was hand-picked by the emperor, and there is no clear will to exempt him so far. Zhou Ting took advantage of this loophole very neatly, this will make it justifiable and impeccable in front of anyone, even Wei Su has nothing to say.

What's even better is that Zhou Ting also gave Yang Zhi more than ten blank orders signed with seals. In other words, he can fill in as much as he wants. The "elite scribe" does not have to be selected and called in the army, and whoever he says is who he is. Zhou Ting can be described as a painstaking worker, although the procedures are a little cumbersome and the transfer of troops is still restricted, but in this way, the de facto general of the forbidden army is not Yang Zhi?

While thinking about it, I faintly heard the sound of firecrackers outside the window from time to time, and the air was filled with the smell of incense and candles. At this moment, when the sky was dark and almost unitary, Yang Zhi suddenly remembered that today was the Chinese New Year's Eve on December 23, the twenty-fifth year of Xia Li Wucheng, and thousands of households were sending the stove monarch. Since he stepped into Chang'an City at dusk yesterday, he has not stopped for a moment except for sleeping indiscriminately for two or three hours. The suffocating secret battle was no easier than the desperate battle that charged into battle, and Yang Zhizhi felt indescribable boredom and fatigue in his bones.

Although it is far from being able to guarantee that the last strike will come first, at least the formation of an all-round battle against the enemy has been set up, and I have a little bottom in my heart, and it is time to go back to the house to have a meal with my family. Put away a stack of generals, smiled at Zhou Ting tacitly, and said goodbye, and when he went out, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "It's coming every year, and it's not just the Lord of the Stove who wants to go to heaven to say good things and keep the lower world safe!" ”

Like many ordinary people, the Yang Mansion is also filled with a strong festive atmosphere. The old man Yang Yan was the absolute authority of the family when he was in Xinyang's hometown, and after moving to Chang'an, with the strong rise of his son, he was worth a hundred times, and his temper rose, and he was a little carried away from time to time. At this time in previous years, it was the time for him to shout and show off his parental prestige. Today, it was unusual, sitting in the front hall in a daze, and letting Shen Yu lead a group of servants and maids to toss.

Although his son is in a position and the saint of the people, Yang Yan also has a deep understanding of the companion like the tiger. Yang Zhixue suddenly returned to the capital at night, and the father and son still haven't had time to say a few words. Yang Yan has been a businessman for many years, and he is not ignorant, and he instinctively feels that his son is by no means bent on rushing home for the New Year, and a big-bellied princess and daughter-in-law with golden branches and jade leaves suddenly appeared, not necessarily a good thing. Will it be a blessing or a curse?

Don't talk about Yang Yan, even Yang Zhi himself can't tell. What will tomorrow bring? Who knows? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
