Chapter 120: Yanmen is too guarded
At about 8 o'clock in the morning on July 31, 187 A.D., the sun was a little hot.
Outside the gate of the West Garden of Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, the heads of the top player forces in China were all waiting quietly at this time.
Because they were worried that the imperial court would require them to queue up in advance, ask questions, pay money, etc., or wait in advance to a place where ordinary people could not enter, as in the early court, they all waited outside the door early, after all, no one wanted to miss it.
Ye Teng was no exception, the time was just over eight o'clock, and he came to wait outside the gate of the West Garden early, only to find that the other leaders of the nine major forces were earlier than him.
Under the noses of the guards in the West Garden, they silently greeted the first comers. Everyone else also returned the salute silently, after all, no one dared to talk outside the West Garden Gate, in case it was disqualified as disrespectful and disrespectful, it would be a tragedy.
Crowd attention is inevitable, and almost everyone feels that this is a historic moment. Ye Teng, the city lord of the world's first city, who has been incognito for more than five years, finally wants to take off the veil of mystery today and walk in front of the public. At this time, there were not only the leaders of the nine major forces around him, but also the subordinates of the nine leaders waiting not far away, as well as a large number of onlookers.
At this time, Ye Teng was already fully capable of self-preservation, even if his whereabouts were found in reality, Ye Teng was not worried. It's just that if it's not necessary, it's naturally best not to be disturbed and play the game quietly, and of course, if necessary, Ye Teng doesn't mind warning those with bad intentions with iron and blood.
Dozens of minutes passed in everyone's attention and waiting.
As soon as nine o'clock arrived, Ye Teng and the other ten people were introduced by the guards to a yamen in the West Garden on time, and then taken by the little eunuch to a hall.
At this time, the hall was facing the door, and on a Taishi chair, an obese old eunuch was seated. The little eunuch looked at a few people looking around, and hurriedly scolded loudly: "Don't you want to see Marquis Zhang?!" ”
It turned out to be Zhang Rang, the dead eunuch!
"Meet Marquis Zhang!" Despite the confusion in their hearts, on the surface, everyone still respectfully met Zhang Rang with Han Li.
"Well, by the will of the Holy Lord, our family will issue you with the seal and official robe of the imperial court. Before the imperial court, there was a word in advance, and the official position was actually awarded, and the county order needed to pay 1 million gold to the imperial court, and the Taishou 3 million gold. Today, we will tell you another rule, if you are willing to double the payment, you can be given the right to open the government, that is, all the subordinate officials in your jurisdiction will be appointed by you, and all the seals and official robes will be given to you today. If you don't need to open the house, please step forward. ”
Naturally, no one stepped forward.
"Which one is Ye Teng?"
"The last general, Ye Teng, meet Marquis Zhang!" Ye Teng took a step forward and said goodbye.
Zhang Rang got up from his seat, solemnly took out an edict, and read: "... At the time of the foreign invasion of the south, Ye Teng, the general of Pingyu, stepped forward and led the soldiers of Tianma City to kill the enemy bravely, and the merit was in Sheji, and Ye Teng was specially named the Taishou ... of Yanmen County"
"Thanksgiving!" After listening to Zhang Rang's will, Ye Teng respectfully took a storage ring handed over by the little eunuch, which contained the seals and official robes of the Yanmen Taishou and all the subordinate officials in his jurisdiction. At the same time, Ye Teng also handed over the 6 million gold very simply, fortunately, he robbed it before, oh no, he made a lot of money, otherwise if he didn't have money today, he would be embarrassed.
"I hope that Ye Taishou will make persistent efforts, be diligent in political affairs, and make new contributions! In this way, our family can ask Your Majesty and the court for more credit for you, right? Zhang Rang looked at Ye Teng and encouraged with a smile.
It seems that he has some thoughts about Ye Teng, do you want to take it easy and make the next move? The possibilities are high!
Ye Teng also wanted to find him to buy timber in the future, so he naturally beat the snake with a stick, and looked at Zhang Rang deeply with a sincere, friendly, and somewhat expectant gaze, as if begging him to help him more, and then bowed down and said: "Thank you Lord Hou for cultivating, the minister will definitely do his best to make new contributions to His Majesty and the court!" ”
"Okay, good, it's really a talent of the country." Then he turned around and sat back in his seat: "Which one is Emperor Xuanyuan?" ”
Ye Teng retreated into the ranks, and Emperor Xuanyuan stepped forward and bowed: "Emperor Xuanyuan, the last general, meet Marquis Zhang!" ”
"Previously, the imperial court had a clear decree that the county orders of the nine counties would be selected in order according to the ranking of the merit points you have obtained, which county do you choose?" Fortunately, there is no text prison in the game, otherwise just with the three words "Emperor Xuanyuan", Zhang Rang will definitely be pulled out, and let those little eunuchs play little JJ, a hundred times, a hundred times!
"The minister chooses Pingding County in Xihe County!" Xihe County is separated by five plains in the north, and the grassland is directly connected in the clouds, and it is adjacent to Sili in the south, overlooking the imperial capital, which is indeed a rare and good place for those who have strength. And the Xuanyuan League, on behalf of the military, is precisely a strong person, and Pingding County is indeed a good starting point.
Next, Long Xiaotian chose Feiru, and it seems that he has included Liaoxi, even Liaodong, Lelang, and even the entire Youzhou and the Korean Peninsula into his sphere of influence. As for the money needed for reconstruction, there will be fewer people after the war, and the Shenzhou League is not short of money and people at all!
The Badao Alliance chose Shuofang Guangmu. Guangmu did not experience the war this time, if the Badao Alliance can use this as a base and take Shuofang County in the future, then it will be bordered by the grassland in the north, the Western Regions in the west, and the Qinchuan River in the south, which has a lot of room for imagination.
Xue Weiyang chose Heyin in Wuyuan County, which is the only remaining county town that has not experienced the war, and can herd horses and grasslands, and is in a power vacuum that will soon appear in the annexation state, if he can take all Wuyuan County in the future, he can also compete with Ye Teng and others for Yunzhong, Dingxiang, etc., and if he manages well, he is a strong prince.
The Kunlun Gang chose Yuyang County's Qianping, and it seems that they may have expectations for the relatively weak Liu Yu. Is it to have a good relationship and carry Gongsun Chan together, or...
The Jade Emperor Palace chose Shuofang's Linhe, did it want to break hands with the Overlord Sword Alliance, or did it want to join forces to conspire with the world?
The Yan family chose the Gao wolf in Xihe County, as long as they didn't want to go to Liangzhou to fight Ma Teng and Han Sui, they could only choose the Gao wolf in Xihe County. As for facing the strength of the Xuanyuan League, can the Yan family really participate in the battle for world domination in the future? Yan Qingju smiled bitterly and shook his head, he always had to choose a strong side to be attached to, if the conditions of the Xuanyuan Alliance were good, it might not be impossible to rely on.
In the end, the Tianshan faction chose Anyi, and the Li dynasty chose Poqiang. Although it is not too ideal, is there still a reason for the county order to be pushed out?
Just when Ye Teng and the others were receiving official robes and ribbons in the West Garden, all forces in reality had various reactions around Ye Teng's appearance.
"It's finally there, and we have to determine his real-life identity as soon as possible." In Xuanyuan City, an elderly general instructed a young general beside him.
"Yes, when the boss comes back, we will definitely find Ye Teng according to the information provided by the boss." The young general saluted and replied loudly.
In the territory of the Shenzhou Alliance, a kind old man smiled and said to a shrewd and capable middle-aged man beside him: "I'm still not at ease, you rush to Luoyang immediately, let Xiaotian make good friends, don't offend easily, at least treat each other politely first, if you don't have absolute certainty, don't be hostile to it!" It is not easy for this person to have the current achievements! ”
"Don't worry, chief, you explained to Xiaotian last night, he won't be so ignorant."
"Hehe, it's really confusing, so be it, now I can only believe in Xiaotian. It's just that I'm worried that those people in the military are used to being domineering, and if the two tigers fight, the loss will be Huaxia's national strength! ”
At the same time, the heads and brains of other top-notch, first-class, and even second-rate forces, as well as think tanks, as long as they consciously can talk to Ye Teng, are all analyzing various possibilities and discussing the positions they should uphold in the face of Yanmen County and Tianma City in the future. Whether it is co-optation, suppression, open contention, covert fighting, intimacy, ignorance, conspiracy, and humanitarian destruction, we must form a unified opinion within ourselves.
