The day after Yang Zhi entered the palace to submit his resignation, the emperor really issued several holy decrees one after another.

The general Zeng Yingming was promoted to the second rank of the duke, and one of his sons was made a marquis. The Shuofang border army was still under its control. Xiao Gang and Guo Rui, the generals of the cavalry, waited for the seal, commanded 10,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 infantry troops, and chose a site in Wuhai to build a city and garrison. Ling Kaiyang, a partial general in Jingzhou, was promoted to the general of the cavalry, gave the title of three waiting, commanded 10,000 elite cavalry and 10,000 infantry troops, and built a city at a location in Jingzhou.

Geng Chao posthumously awarded the title of second-class duke of Jinjue, Li Wei posthumously awarded the title of third-class duke of Jinjue, and Yang Yao posthumously conferred the title of second-class duke of Jinjue, all of whom were posthumously crowned marquis. Set up a golden statue for three people, enshrine it in the Martyrs' Shrine, and enjoy the incense sacrifice forever.

The emperor's treatment of more than 3,000 Turkic captives was said to be a complete "dictatorship of the Sacred Heart" and a slight perversion: all women under the age of forty were sent to the army as slaves. All men under the age of 50 were "castrated" and released to the Turks along with the rest of the captives.

It's not hard to understand. The so-called people who are not of my race will have different hearts. The war between the two countries resulted in more than 200,000 casualties, and although the vitality of Great Xia was greatly damaged, the Turks suffered heavy losses. As soon as you put down your sword and gun, you have to abandon hatred and shake hands and make peace, which is absolutely impossible. Wanting to make the Turkic captives heartily ambush is even more of a fool's dream. When the Shuofang border army returned to Beijing to offer prisoners, in addition to showing off their might and showing off their achievements, they also had to give an explanation to the government and the opposition to vent their anger and resolve their hatred. Most of the people captured in this battle were Turkic princes and nobles, and they all had a certain influence in the Turks. As soon as Suoli dies, the desert will inevitably fall into a situation where all the tribes are competing for power. It's also a burden to keep it, so it's better to put it back and let them toss it around!

Zhao Qiyuan said that Yang Zhi's three strategies for raising money, resigning and returning to his hometown, and Chen Wenyuan and Wang Yunong jointly advised Yang Zhi to use the three bombshells were thrown one after another, but they were slightly adjusted. The pace of disposal has been significantly accelerated.

On the same day, on the grounds that "the matter is important and difficult to decide," the transcription of the three canons was distributed to the Cabinet Office. The ministers who are listed in the cabinet will have a copy for everyone to "discuss" in advance. However, the time left for them to "deliberate" was not long, and it was clearly stated that they would discuss in court the next morning. Yang Zhi only needs to stay in the house as a target with peace of mind, and in order to "avoid suspicion", there is no need to go to court.

Several ministers have their own mountains, and what kind of fame can they "discuss" in a hurry? Zhao Qi did this, making it clear that he was just letting them go. It's like before the show happens. Warm up with some spoilers.

When Chen Wenyuan and Wang Yunong joined forces to admonish Yang Zhi, Zhao Qi only used one meal to rub the two old ministers of the town into disgrace. As a result, he gained a lot of confidence in himself. Tongue war ministers? It's fun to think about!

In the afternoon of this day, Jin Zishan came to the Hou Mansion on order, and after conveying to Yang Zhi the emperor's dictation that he did not need to participate in the court meeting, he took the initiative to roughly explain the emperor's calculations.

Loose tone has always been a taboo for eunuchs. Jin Zishan is very intelligent. I don't understand this truth. Yang Zhi hesitated: "What does Brother Jin mean, do you still want me to help the emperor?" ”

Jin Zishan shook his head and said, "Definitely." The Sprinkle family just wanted to remind Yang Hou not to misunderstand the emperor. ”

Yang Zhisun smiled: "Misunderstanding? Not really, right? What do you mean by that? I also hope that Brother Jin will give advice. ”

Jin Zishan replied to the question: "The emperor will become a generation of heroes, and his achievements may not be inferior to the previous emperor." I don't know if Yang Hou thinks so? ”

This sentence can be scored 100 points on any occasion and in front of anyone, but Jin Zishan is neither a person who likes to talk nonsense, nor is there any need for that.

Sending Jin Zishan away, Yang Zhi thought for a moment, and said with a sigh: "I hope so!" ”

It is true that the emperor was deeply jealous and uneasy about him. It is also true that the emperor is ambitious, bold and careful, and dares to gamble and fight. The authority of the first emperor cannot be challenged, and it is enough to suppress Yang Zhi when he uses him as a thug. The new emperor is the opposite. is eager to establish authority, even if Yang Zhi is used as an accomplice, it is also suspected of emboldening, lest he worry about taking the lead. What Jin Zishan really wanted to tell Yang Zhi was that the emperor openly fought against the ministers like this, and he was already determined to use him to lead the army to destroy Chu!

However, only limited trust could be maintained in the emperor's prudence. Since Zhao Qi intended to discuss the recital of Yang's return to his hometown, there was no need to deliberately hide it from his family. At dinnertime, Yang Zhi calmly announced the matter to the whole family.

The old man has been tirelessly committed to eating and waiting for death to fool around over the years, firstly, because of nature, and secondly, under the habitual indulgence of his son, he is somewhat helpless to escape from reality. As early as a few years ago, he proposed to his son to go back to his hometown to "worship his ancestors", but he was actually frightened. Now that my son can finally get out, when I hear about it, I am naturally overjoyed.

Women in this era believe in marrying their husbands, Chang'an is just a place for the Yang family to live, Xinyang is the ancestral home of Xiangzi, and Yue is the hometown of Ming, and there is nothing to say.

Yang Zhi said frankly: "I don't know when I will start my journey, so I don't have to wait too long." So Yu'er, Yan'er, and Ling'er, you have to help Dad take care of the family affairs as soon as possible, and pack up on the whole. ”

"It's important to keep your outfit as simple as possible, and don't bring all the odds and ends. My Yang family is not short of money, and there are few rare items that I can't get, just go back to Xinyang and buy them. I will be of great use in taking stock of everything in the treasury, sealing it, and handing it over to me. ”

"There are many servants and maidservants in the house, and those who are willing to return to Xinyang with us will take them with them. Those who do not want to go with them will be given 500 taels of silver per head and let them fend for themselves. In accordance with the principle of voluntariness, thirty or fifty people were selected to stay behind and engage in the daily maintenance and cleaning of the mansion. Lest if you go back to Chang'an one day, you won't even have a place to stay. ”

The three wives and concubines all looked down on money, and the old man was once greedy, but he had already been smashed by the huge amount of family wealth brought by his son, so he had no idea about the amount of silver, so he didn't object.

Zhao Yan said with a lonely expression: "Husband, let's go, I don't know when we will be able to return to Chang'an." Before leaving, I wanted to go to my father's mausoleum and take Xiao'er into the palace to say goodbye to my mother. ”

Yang Zhi agreed: "Naturally. After the inventory is counted, you can take the inventory and enter the palace again! ”

Speaking of this, he turned around and instructed Shen Yudao: "Yu'er, you also take Meng'er to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law." We are not in Chang'an, and their use will not be so generous, remember to bring tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets back. Tell your father-in-law, tell him not to bother me, lest I show him a face. Also, I suggest that he should also move back to his hometown in Luzhou! ”

There is really nothing to count in the treasury of the Hou Mansion, and the old man, out of hobbies and professional habits, has already done his best to register and make a record in great detail on weekdays, and the whole time is clear. Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he turned around and brought the warehouse account book. The things that can enter the treasury of the Hou Mansion are, of course, good things. Yang Yan flipped through a few pages casually, and Wu Zi felt a little painful, but nothing was as important as moving back to his hometown, so he still handed it over to his son.

Yang Zhi didn't even look at it, and handed it directly to Ah Fu, and instructed: "Early tomorrow morning, you will bring the account books to the Qin Mansion to ask to see the eldest young master of the Qin family, and say that I will ask him to summarize the price according to the existing market, and then bring it back to the second lady." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other: You claim to have "great use", could it be that you want to sell it for cash? …… But it's not like it? Why did you let Zhao Yan bring the account books into the palace? (To be continued.) )
