In the chaos of the world, the divided countries have been fighting for many years and have no time to take care of anything else, and the management of trade and sea 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 meticulous, 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. 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.

After a little thought, he took out the pen and ink on the blank general order on the paper, and took out a stack of blank general orders, solemnly signed the name one by one at the signing place, handed it over to Yang Zhi, and said resolutely: "Lord Hou, with the gold medal given by the emperor and the emperor, plus 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 and horses 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: "The elephant is invisible, and the sound is loud. 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 for the praise. The old man just wants to be worthy of his heart. And ask Master Hou for advice. Old man, will this order still agree? ”

Yang Zhi took a closer look, Zhou Tingwen wrote an order on the spot without adding a point. It can be called a drop of water: the general was ordered to lie in the middle of the illness and lay down in the military affairs. With the first-class Flying Tiger Marquis and the five products of the forbidden army, Yang Zhi joined the army. A number of elite clerks are selected and enlisted, and the assistant counsellors are attached. This order!

According to the official system of Great Xia. Enjoying a knighthood and being appointed to a substantive position are two different things. There is no shortage of precedents in officialdom and the military. Yang Zhi's first-class marquis title and the dual identity of the forbidden army's five-rank military service are not contradictory at all. Since Geng led the remnants of the raid corps to return to Beijing from Shuofang. At that time, everyone, including the emperor, thought that Yang Zhi had died of martyrdom. After miraculously surviving, he caught up with An Guihou's business. At the beginning, he was appointed by the emperor to join the army. So far, there has been no clear intention to exempt the land. Zhou Ting took advantage of this loophole very neatly. This will make it unassailable in front of anyone. Even Wei Su had nothing to say.

Even better. Zhou Ting also gave Yang Zhi more than ten blank orders signed with seals. Other words. It's up to him to fill in as much as he wants. "Elite clerks" do not need to be selected and transferred separately in the army. He said whoever it was, that 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 that's it. In fact, isn't the general of the Forbidden Army Yang Zhi?

I'm thinking about it. I faintly heard the sound of firecrackers outside the window from time to time. The air was filled with the smell of incense and candles. At this moment, it is almost hourly in the dark. Yang Zhi suddenly remembered. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, December 23, the 25th year of Xia Li Wucheng. Thousands of households are sending the stove king. He has been stepping into Chang'an City since yesterday evening. There was not a moment of cessation except for two or three hours of indiscriminate sleep. A suffocating dark battle is no easier than charging into a position and fighting for your life. Yang Zhizhi felt indescribably tired and tired in his bones.

It's not in vain to jump up and down and rush to the ground. Although it is far from being guaranteed at this time, the last will come. But at least a full-scale battle against the enemy was formed. I have a little bottom in my heart. It's time to go home and have a meal with your family. Put a stack of shut-ins to the body. Smiled at Zhou Ting tacitly and said goodbye. When I went out, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh: "It's coming again every year." Let the heavens say good deeds, and the lower realms will keep the land in peace. It's not just the Lord of the Stove! ”

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, 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 on to 6qidianm, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
