Today, there was a dusty guest outside the door of the General's Mansion, as soon as this guest came to the General's Mansion, after informing the sergeant guarding the door, Yue Yang quickly walked out and welcomed the people in.

Yue Yang welcomed the people into the study room of the inner courtyard, and chuckled at the visitors: "Gonggong Cao is not staying well in the capital, why did he come to this official?" ”

It turned out that the person who came was the current chief eunuch Cao Huachun. Looking at Yue Yang, who was calm and relaxed in front of him, Cao Huachun smiled bitterly: "Lord Yue, your courage is too big, you have caused such a catastrophe, do you really want to rebel against the court and the emperor?" ”

"Rebelling against the court?" Yue Yang sneered: "Gonggong Cao, it's not that the official wants to rebel against the imperial court, but the imperial court can't tolerate the official, just ask what the official did wrong, the emperor actually sent Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian to come together, and he insisted on killing the official?" In fact, you don't say that the official also understands that the court is nothing more than taking a fancy to the good land and silver of the official, as well as the soldiers in the hands of the official, but the official can clearly tell you that these things are all saved by the official little by little, not to mention the imperial court, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, he will not want to take it! ”

"You ......"

Although Cao Huachun is a person with a relatively gentle personality, he can't help but be angry by Yue Yang's tough tone, he has been in the palace to serve the emperor for so many years, and there are countless ministers he has come into contact with on weekdays, and it is the first time he has seen someone as arrogant and unreasonable as Yue Yang.

Taking a deep breath and forcibly swallowing a breath, Cao Huachun said slowly: "Lord Yue, the emperor also knows that this time he has indeed wronged you, this matter is what Gao Qiqian and Chen Xinjia said in private, and the emperor does not know, but since the matter has happened, it is useless to say more." Our family came to ask you about it on the orders of the emperor this time! ”

After speaking, Cao Huachun stood calmly on the spot and looked at Yue Yang. And Yue Yang just sat like that. Time passed little by little, but Cao Huachun's face darkened little by little.

Yue Yang was a little inexplicable, and couldn't help but say: "Gonggong Cao, if you want to ask, just ask, why are you looking at this official like this?" ”

Cao Huachun couldn't help but say loudly anymore: "Lord Yue, our family is asking questions on behalf of the emperor, shouldn't you kneel down and reply?" ”

"Kneel down and talk?" Yue Yang's face also turned cold, if Emperor Chongzhen appeared in front of him in person, it would be fine, and now a eunuch came to make him kneel just by asking a few words, this is too child's play.

"Father-in-law Cao. The official will not reply on his knees, if you really don't want to talk to the official, please reply. Yue Yang said indifferently, since the last time he received the holy decree from the imperial court, his last hope for Chongzhen was gone, and now he naturally refused to kneel to a person who was thousands of miles away.

"You...... You ......" Cao Huachun finally saw the other side of Yueyang, he had never seen such an arrogant and unreasonable person, and he didn't kneel down when he met the eunuch who asked the emperor on behalf of him, this was putting himself in an equal position with the emperor.

Cao Huachun's face was blue and red for a while, to be honest, he really wanted to brush his sleeves and leave. But in the end, he endured it, and he remembered what Chongzhen said to him before leaving and the look in his eyes at that time.

"Okay, if you don't kneel, don't kneel, it's a big deal." Cao Huachun kept comforting himself.

"Lord Yue. The emperor asked you, why did you stop paying grain taxes to the imperial court? ”

"Because the official wants to pay the grain tax to the fallen soldiers, and also reward the meritorious soldiers, so the money and silver will naturally be gone."

I can't bear ......

The emperor asked again...... Why do you humiliate Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian, two court officials, so much? ”

Hear here. Yue Yang's face showed a hint of mockery: "Because they want my life, I didn't kill them for the sake of the court's face." ”

Cao Huachun took a deep breath: "The last thing, how can you pay the imperial court again?" ”

Yue Yang smiled faintly: "Then it depends on what kind of compensation the imperial court will give to this official?" ”

Hear here. Cao Huachun's spirit was shocked, and he immediately replied: "This is easy to do, before our family came, the emperor specially allowed the promotion of the lord to the hussar general and the chief soldier of Shanxi, so the general is satisfied, right?" ”

"Shanxi General Soldier?" Yue Yang asked in surprise: "This official is the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, what should I do with Lord Hu Dawei?" Remove him from office? ”

Cao Huachun said a little embarrassed: "That's not it, the tiger commander has another appointment, so you don't have to worry about this." ”

Hearing this, Yue Yang slowly shook his head. Cao Huachun looked a little anxious, "Lord Yue, the emperor has already given you great grace, what else do you want?" ”

"It's not enough!" Yue Yang said firmly: "A mere chief military officer and a dragon and tiger general is like asking this official to pay taxes again, this is impossible!" ”

"And what do you want?" Cao Huachun was also anxious, glared at him and asked, "I can't let you be the first assistant, right?" ”

"Shousuke?" Yue Yang smiled, "It's not uncommon for this broken official to let this official be an official. ”

"Lord Yue, we don't say secret words, just say it, how do you want to continue to pay taxes to the imperial court?" Cao Huachun was also anxious, Chongzhen had privately looked for him before leaving Beijing this time, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he also hinted that as long as he could stabilize Yueyang and pay taxes to the imperial court again, his request could be agreed to as long as it was not too excessive. Because now the suppression of bandits in Henan and Hubei provinces has reached a critical period, and a large amount of food and salary is urgently needed, and these food and salary cannot be deducted from Liaojiao, otherwise Liaodong will inevitably be unstable, and only Yueyang's Shanxi North Road has that strength, which is why Chongzhen is so anxious to send Cao Huachun to find Yueyang to reconcile.

Seeing Cao Huachun's anxious appearance, Yue Yang shook his head secretly in his heart, this Cao Huachun didn't negotiate from time to time at all, and he didn't say a few words to reveal his hole cards and plates, and he didn't know people so far, the reason why Daming would die in another time and space is of course due to the general trend of the world, and Chongzhen's own employment problem is also an important reason.

At this point, Yue Yang no longer circled with him, he stretched out a finger and said indifferently: "First, this official needs a title, and it is not too big, the marquis." ”

Hearing this, Cao Huachun's face immediately turned green, but he still forcibly endured it and continued to listen to Yue Yang.

"Second, the general soldiers of Shanxi Town are exempted, and the imperial court only needs to seal the official and a general soldier of the North Road. Third, the official needs the right to open the government and build teeth! ”

"Yueyang...... You're so presumptuous! As soon as Yue Yang's words came out, Cao Huachun immediately jumped up and shouted angrily: "What are you kidding...... This must not be! (To be continued......)
