Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 42 The World Is Like Chess (2)

When Xiao Yan returned, there was no momentum of honor, nor did he show off his might. It was surrounded by hundreds of armor soldiers, sounding the horn and golden drum. In this way, he entered Bianliang City as usual.

Hundreds of people in Bianliang were hiding in their houses and saw these hundreds of armor soldiers passing by on the street.

Xiao Yan descended, all of them were dressed in gloomy clothes, dusty, and tired. Where is it like just razing the chaos in the capital, cutting off thousands of heads, capturing how many civil and military generals who participated in the chaos, and sweeping away the strong towns on the two roads of Yongning Xihe, and has already reached the peak of the power of the people?

Even if Xiao Yan is not yet in a position of power at the moment, he has a deep-rooted and unshakable trend, and he has internal and external troubles, and he doesn't know how many. However, after the chaos of the two times, it has not fallen, and it can be taken to the next level. Even the whole world can't regard him as a person who has suddenly been lucky, and by means of treachery and violence, he has stolen the authority that does not belong to him, and only attracts the hostility of the world, and will rise up and fall at any time.

In the world chess game, Xiao Yan has been officially listed as a very heavy player at this moment, even if there are still all kinds of enemies in the middle and outside of the court, he can no longer be regarded as a person who can be defeated lightly. I'm afraid that it will infiltrate for a while, and then slowly see how the situation develops and then decide how to deal with this Yan King, who has never been seen in the Great Song Dynasty.

In the minds of the people in Bianliang, Xiao Yan's current status is enough to put on a great pomp and declare his victory to deter both inside and outside. But what no one expected was that Xiao Yan returned to the capital with such a simple and tired attitude.

But even if Xiao Yan returns to Zhenbianliang with a tired and old attitude, who can really despise it? From the moment he stepped back to the capital gate, King Yan was figure. It was shrouded in the sky above the Bianliang. Everyone was waiting with bated breath for Xiao Yan's next move after the chaos!

Xiao Yan and his line. Straight to the imperial city forbidden. This is to be expected. Now that it is forbidden, there are still two generations of kings living in it. It is estimated that Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai are both temporarily living in the forbidden, even if they are separated twice, knowing that the other party is not far away, they can't wait to pounce on each other and strangle each other to death first. I have to tear up the broken things of the Zhao family first, what should be abolished, what should be abolished, what should be changed to the suburban sacrifice, what should be raised. At least this signboard Xiao Yan has to polish quickly.

A group of hundreds of soldiers turned into the royal street. I saw that in front of the Xuande Gate, which had experienced two chaos, it had been cleaned up. Although the Xuande Building burned down, there were no embers of the fire, but bamboo and wood supports had been erected, and hundreds of craftsmen were busy preparing materials to rebuild.

Xiao Yan sat on the horse with two big dark circles under his eyes, and he couldn't help nodding when he was tired. Fang Teng's action was still fast, and the almost immediate rebuilding of Xuande Tower also showed that Xiao Yan's power group was not only destroying, but was bent on supporting this Bianliang. and even supported the entire Great Song Dynasty. No wonder I returned to Bianliang, and I saw that it was quite quiet all the way. There is no disturbance in the hearts of the people of Bianliang, the character of Fang Teng, there is no history book, once he stands out, although he is not a scheming person like Guo Jia in the ofan, he can really be called Xiao He Xunyu, the resourcefulness is eighty-five, and the internal affairs value is ninety-five.

In the middle of sighing, saying that Cao Cao Cao fell, and in the sound of horses' hooves, he saw dozens of knights hugging Fang Teng. Fang Teng still looked that chic, but just like Xiao Yan, he had two big dark circles under his eyes. When he saw Xiao Yan, he looked at each other and smiled.

The armor guards of the Xuande Gate, seeing the arrival of Xiao Yan and others, opened the gate early, and the craftsmen who worked on the city wall also avoided the road outside the palace and bowed on both sides. According to the etiquette, it is just a matter of avoiding the road and being deep, but Xiao Yan is now famous in Bianliang, and he can stop the children's night crying. Now in front of King Yan, a group of craftsmen trembled and bowed, but they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

Xiao Yan didn't bother to care about these little things, turned over and dismounted, and walked side by side with Fang Teng.

Fang Teng asked with a smile: "King Yan came here, but he forgot that the students were still working hard, and he didn't come to inquire." Thanks to the fact that the students are now leading the Kaifeng Mansion, the news of the four doors came quickly, and they greeted the king in front of the palace gate. ”

Xiao Yan shook his head: "Brother Fang stays in the town, I still have something to worry about." It's just that the affairs of the family have to be taken care of first. Everyone in the world is watching! I am the captain of the Taishang Horse, and it is important to welcome the old man out first. The province of their father and son fought first. ”

Xiao Yan's tone towards the Zhao family was not polite. Fang Teng had also heard it. Now they are barely a military meritorious aristocratic group that follows Xiao Yan's banner, and the Guanlong military meritorious aristocratic group at the turn of the Sui and Tang dynasties, as well as the Huaisi military meritorious aristocratic group that followed King Wu to open Jinling in later generations, but it is just a rudimentary form. Such an emerging political group, with Xiao Yan, both prosperity and loss, victory is from the dragon, defeat is the extinction of the clan, there is nothing to say. Even if Xiao Yan scolded his father-in-law and brother-in-law, Fang Teng didn't hear it.

How to cook the auspicious three treasures of the Zhao family has been decided before. However, it is the central personnel that must be cared for. This is no better than the end of the Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian back to Xudu, when the world was already divided, and the authority of the Han family was left. Cao Cao could set aside the center of the imperial court and use his shogunate to control a qiē. But now Xiao Yan still has to do his best to maintain the central authority, so that Bianliang, the ruling body, can be used by him.

The political problem is basically a personnel issue, and it is necessary to come up with a charter to deal with it. And it can't be discussed too carefully before. Who knows how many people are willing to change their doors after a big mess, how many people are too involved in the chaos to be denounced, and how many people still have a hostile attitude after the chaos?

In the past few days, Fang Teng has not only pacified the place, but also put a lot of effort into this personnel. Every day, he sat in the yazhong to receive people who asked to see him, or took the initiative to go to pay respects, and he was very busy. Maybe he slept less than Xiao Yan, who chased after the wind and dust.

At this moment, I finally have a little clue, who has broken the courage, let what to do is how to do. Who are keen and want to change the door to a wealthy one. Which people want to take refuge in order to avoid sin and save Xiao Yan from degrading officials and robbing their homes. Who else continues to be stubborn, they all have to hurry up and discuss with Xiao Yan how to deal with it.

"The central authority is focused on the east and west. Three divisions, six departments and many yasmos, can still be a little slow. How is this arranged? ”

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically: "You don't have to say that you want to enter the East Mansion as the Great Counselor and lead the Kaifeng Mansion Yin." Personnel to the East House. What do you think? ”

Since now, military power has been important. Needless to say, Xiao Yan arranged the affairs of Xifu himself. Fang Teng's kung fu is on the government affairs system of the East Government. For the Great Counselor and the Kaifeng Mansion Yin. Fang Teng also jumped to the center, and the green umbrella was firmly in his hand. For his age, the Great Song Dynasty has also been an outlier since the founding of the country. However, Fang Teng was unyielding, and there was no surprise at all.

As he walked slowly, he said cautiously: "Bai Mengheng is the right servant of Shangshu and leads the three provinces of Dongfu. Xu Zezhi, Tang Qinsuo, Zhang Zineng. Ouyang Quanmei and others shot left and right servants of the three provinces, and called Zhang Jizhong and other prestigious people to enter the capital and prepare for the station. Then the east mansion can be rough and safe, and the court is full of righteous people. ”

Xiao Yan thought about it, Bai Shizhong, Xu Churen, Tang Ke and others turned out to be all in Dongfu. This turmoil was also affected, and it seems that in order to get rid of the crime, these people reached a tacit understanding with Fang Teng without discipline. I still want to be in the center safely. The thickness of the skin and the lower limit of discipline seem to be extraordinary. Bai Shizhong is even more prestigious. Cai Jing disobeyed everything in Japan and never said a word. Let him lead the East Mansion for the signboard. It seems like the best choice.

And Zhang Bangchang is a bit greasy, and his reputation in history is bad, I am afraid that he is the first in the Huizong Dynasty. It turned out to be in Dongfu, but it was the last of the trains. In this rebellion, Zhang Bangchang didn't know how to be smart, and he was rarely involved. If he was still in this position, Xiao Yan was really afraid that such a character would sell himself again.

As for Ouyang Xun, this person is a bachelor of Hanlin, who has both a literary name and a clear hope. And when Xiao Yan planned to go to Hedong, he was a rare courtier who said a few fair words, so that the court would be less constrained, so that Xiao Yan rushed to Hedong to defeat the Jurchens and then everyone turned their faces and did it. Dongfu pulled him in, and it seemed that he was counting on this bit of goodwill between him and Xiao Yan Group to be maintained. And the prestige and fame are indeed enough.

Moreover, Zhang Shuye and other well-known and appealing ministers in the local area were summoned to Bianliang, whether they entered the Eastern Mansion or prepared for the Tai Advice. All of them are moves to weaken the local strengthening center. If you can make it, of course, it's a good thing.

Xiao Yan generally agreed to such an arrangement, and believed that Fang Teng had also colluded with it, and these people would be safe and sound under Xiao Yan's authority for the time being. Xiao Yan nodded and said a person's name: "............ Zhang Zi can ............ him"

Fang Teng smiled: "Zhang Zi can be a keen person, after the rebellion, he was the first to come to worship Fang as an important minister, and his enthusiasm to serve King Yan is beyond words." At this moment, it must not be reused, and I am afraid of the thoughts of the righteous people in the cold court. ”

Xiao Yan snorted in his heart.

He is no longer a young reporter who reads history and shoots, but a person who is really at the peak of power. The meaning of Fang Teng's words is obvious, Zhang Bangchang is a rare person who takes the initiative to serve, and this is the time to expand the foundation of this power group. How many more can't you choose? That's what he is.

In this way, it can only be used by pinching the nose. And now that he is, how can he give him another chance to betray the country? Leave it to the future, and send him as far as you can.

Seeing Xiao Yan's acquiescence, Fang Teng couldn't help but ask again: "What are the king's arrangements for Xifu?" ”

Xiao Yan said lightly: "I will recommend Xiao Chong as the deputy privy envoy, and Wu Yuanzhong as the same as the Privy Council." Han Liangchen added the army to stay after the festival, and Yue Pengju stayed after the army festival. Defeat the Jurchens, I let them carry this military merit into Xifu. ”

Fang Teng couldn't help but be a little speechless, recommending the Privy Deputy Envoy among the Seed Masters was the proper meaning of the question. It is good for a small species to enter the court, even if you don't enter the court for the time being. Xiao Yan's intention of goodwill has been fully revealed.

Wu Min is sitting in Hedong, even if he learns that he has a secret communication with Bianliang in the past few days. But it's better to do it than to overdo it. He was sent by the Privy Council to sit in Hedong and transport logistics was still effective. Grab his handle, dare not work hard?

But Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's official promotions were really frenzied, and they just added a temperance to return it. If they can defeat the Jurchens, Xiao Yan also plans to let them enter the Western Mansion!

This is Xiao Yan's iron heart to build his own community of interests in the political force, and it is also for the world to see, follow me Xiao someone's people, and see what his name and wealth are?

This is naturally a good thing for people like Fang Teng who have long been in Xiao Yan's interest group. And the soldiers under his command are even more excited. For them, as long as they follow Xiao Yan and fight to the death, the upward channel is naturally unlimited!

And the hostile forces in the DPRK and China naturally know the weight of this hand. The Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army was originally happy when it heard the war, and finally formed a solid interest group. Even if you want to take on a challenge. I'll have to weigh it again. If you can't say it, you'll have to wait and see. Wait for Xiao Yan's strong army and the Jurchens to weaken each other.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's command has truly become a solid interest group. Although Xiao Yan had to be the king of Yan before, the road ahead was still uncertain. After the chaos again, the center had no way to resist, and it had proved that Xiao Yan was at least not so easy to suppress. Following such Xiao Yan, Shenwu often wins the army, and naturally does not worry about being able to take advantage of military merits and soar! And Shenwu often wins the generals. It is the future Xungui Group!

For people in this era, even if they have a simple sense of family and country, they cannot surpass the times. Both the DPRK and China are enemies, without the support of powerful figures, and after a bloody battle with a foreign enemy, how can they expect this army to continue fighting to the death?

Although Xiao Yan only said a few words about the personnel arrangements of Xifu, it was actually a thunderous sound for this Great Song Dynasty!

Fang Teng was relieved, but it was a pity that the manpower of Xifu was still thin, if only there was another minister who was well-known and could take charge. In an instant. The name Li Gang appeared in Fang Teng's heart.

Originally, he was called to Beijing to enter Xifu. Later events developed. Li Gang finally lost his position, but planned with Cai Jing to deal with Xiao Yan. Although he parted ways with Cai Jing at the last moment, Li Gang sat in the house these days, dismissed the servants, and the door was open, just waiting for Xiao Yanjia to ride to catch him, and it didn't look like he could enter the West Mansion as Xiao Yan's wings.

How can everything be as expected, after this palace change, there have been many Wenchen who have voted for various reasons, and it has been a great step forward in King Yan's career.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In an instant, the two of them had already walked through the Xuande Gate and entered the imperial city. Fang Teng's personnel arrangements had already been approved by Xiao Yan, so he left. He was anxious to get the result, and that was just such important news. There are so many other things, and I don't know how many there are. After talking, he said goodbye, and dozens of armor soldiers caught him and galloped back.

Fang Guigongzi, who has always been chic, is now entangled in mundane affairs, and now and from now on, as long as Xiao Yan is undefeated, I am afraid that he will no longer be idle.

And Xiao Yan went straight to the vertical arch hall, and the eunuchs and class straight armor soldiers who were on duty in the imperial city saw Xiao Yan passing by, and they all saluted like a ceremony. The atmosphere didn't dare to make a sound, and in the entire imperial city, only Xiao Yan's footsteps could be heard. It seems that no matter how loud the footsteps are, the palace walls of the imperial city will not be able to withstand it and will collapse with a bang!

After learning the news of Xiao Yan's arrival, Zhao Kai, who had been anxious in the imperial city for the past few days, immediately set up a vertical arch hall, only waiting anxiously in the side compartment where the emperors of the past dynasties met with their courtiers in the palace.

For Cai Jing, he postponed the matter of leaving Hedong with a word, and if he made a mistake, he would make a mistake. Who knew that Xiao Yan would cause a rebellion, and then it would be leveled in one fell swoop. will also welcome the Taishang into the ban for a few days. In those few days, Zhao Kai was just worried that suddenly overnight, Xiao Yanjia would come and tell him that Taishang had been reinstated, and he would end up like a waste prince!

When Xiao Yan came back today, this torture finally came to an end. Just wait for the results.

Hearing the sound of the trembling voice of the eunuch, Zhao Kai bounced up from his seat at once, and with the respect of a king, he actually arched his hands and bent down slightly, just waiting for Xiao Yan to arrive!

The auspicious three treasures of the Zhao family were repeatedly tossed by Xiao Yan, and they really had no heart at all.

When the footsteps sounded, I saw that Xiao Yan had already untied his sword outside the hall and handed it to the attendant Ban Zhi, who was actually Xiao Yan's henchman, and entered with his head held high.

During this period of time, Xiao Yan has lost a little weight, he is not wide, and now he is thinner and his cheekbones are a little prominent. The lines on the face are even more distinct. It turned out to be just a hero, but now it has added a little inexplicable dragon and tiger view. used to have a compelling look, but now it is more powerful and thicker. But who did his eyes fall on, it turned out to be as straight as a sword, but now he only feels like a mountain pressing on his body!

As soon as Zhao Kai's legs were weak, he actually wanted to bow to the ground. Xiao Yan didn't give him this opportunity, and solemnly made a big salute: "Meet the saint." ”

Zhao Kai sighed, finally stopped and didn't kneel with Xiao Yan, and subconsciously muttered: "Why bother, why bother." Hurry up, please. Otherwise, I'll have to bow down............"

Xiao Yan got up. Zhengse said: "The ministers are ordered by the king to quell the chaos, and all matters are closed, and when I return to Beijing at this moment, there are all kinds of matters that are about to return to the king." ”

Zhao Kai's mind still hasn't come to his senses, and under Xiao Yan's inexplicable coercion, he only knows how to say one word: "Good, good, good ............"

Xiao Yan didn't care whether Zhao Kai was confused or sober. meticulously recounted the chaos one by one, who the sinners were, and who were captured. The two armies of Yongning and Xihe were not allowed to rush to Bianliang, and they had already been swept away. The father and son of the Yao family and the troops of Xihe were captured, and Wang Yu and Ma Kuo had already gone to Bianliang to surrender. All kinds of piles and piles were meticulously reported to Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai listened in a daze, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then he reacted. Xiao Yan's actions are so formal, isn't he still regarded him as a king? So he still kept his position?

Thinking of this. Zhao Kai almost danced!

Xiao Yanzheng said: "............ Cai Xiang was involved in rebellion, although the culprit Geng Nanzhong had already been punished. But Cai Xiang has already gone to the prison department. At the moment, Dongfu. For the time being, it is led by white phase. At that time, the princes of Dongfu asked to see the saint and agreed on a plan to deal with the aftermath. Please also ask the saints to bow down one by one............"

Zhao Kai waved his hand busily: "All accurate!" Accurate! ”

He is very interested in this, at this time, even if he has an opinion, what use can it be? With such crisp and neat words, Xiao Yan didn't know what to say for a while. I can only secretly sigh that the auspicious three treasures of the Zhao family are worthy of knowledge, otherwise how could they still live so nourishingly in the Five Kingdoms City?

Zhao Kai saw that Xiao was silent, and asked cautiously: "The suburban festival of Ze Zhen is ............ to change the Yuan ceremony?"

Xiao Yan glanced at him, and could only write a word in his heart about the thickness of the Zhao family's face.

"Just recently."

Zhao Kai actually let out a long breath in front of Xiao Yan, in his opinion, this suburban sacrifice to change the Yuan ceremony is the most important. Since then, he has been rightfully the new king! As for the future, we will talk about it in the future. As long as my father and that brother can't come back, it's better than anything else!

Suddenly, Zhao Kai thought of something again, and asked worriedly: "............ about the imperial driver's personal expedition to Hedong?"

Xiao Yan said coldly: "National events are in Rong. At this moment, the country is in turmoil, and it is in need of His Majesty to spread the spirit to calm the Quartet. If the royal driver can't do it, the warriors will be cold, and the soldiers will not be attached. This is a very important matter, and please ask the saint to learn clearly! ”

As soon as Xiao Yan's cold words came out, Zhao Kai suddenly shrank his eggs, and just said with a smile: "King Yan is right, I should do it myself, I will do it myself." ”

The Jurchen war is of paramount importance, and Xiao Yan must preside over it in person. At this time, how can the two generations of the Zhao family be placed in the capital? This signboard can only be moved with you, and it has a name, summoning the world's Qinwang military horses. Bianliang is just a left-behind transfer center. It's okay to give you the rightful kingship, but you have to follow me on the battlefield!

Speaking of which, Xiao Yan no longer had to be perfunctory with Zhao Kai, and gave a deep salute: "In this case, please retire." ”

Zhao Kai was in front of Xiao Yan, but he was trembling, and he didn't dare to sweat. Hearing that Xiao Yan had retired, he was happier than anything else. In the end, he also said earnestly: "In the past few days, I have been in trouble with the imperial sister and the forbidden CCP, and we have gotten along very well. On the other day, I also invited the royal sister to come and walk around in the forbidden area. lest there be a division between brothers and sisters, and ask King Yan to fulfill more. ”

Xiao Yan still responded respectfully, and then sent it out for the trembling eunuch Gong. Seeing Xiao Yan's back go away, Zhao Kai sat down, sweating like rain, and touched his neck: "My life was saved this time!" ”

In a blink of an eye, I thought of my family's harsh words in front of Emperor Maude that night, and I couldn't help but worry again, this girl was so beautiful and charming, and she couldn't help but salivate for her brother. Xiao Yan looks so that she is so thin, how can this girl of her own not be Xiao Yan's pet? If the pillow wind blows, how can this be done?

At that moment, Zhao Kai made up his mind, and hurried back to the forbidden place to collect treasures, and sent them to his sister!

And after Xiao Yan stepped out of the vertical arch hall, he went straight out of the imperial city. Yan Wang Zhijia had already caught it, and asked Xiao Yan to get on the horse. The armor soldier asked, "King Yan, where are you going?" ”

Xiao Yan finally showed a relaxed smile on his face, and said loudly: "Go home!" (To be continued......)

PS: There is still only one change, just to improve the follow-up plot development.

But I still willfully ask for a monthly pass!!!
