Yan Rongling was in the study, walking back and forth, looking at Ye Shisan.

"Thirteen, do you have a different candidate? Just be bold and say, Lone forgives you no sin. ”

This is because Yan Rongling saw that Ye Shisan was a little eager to speak, so he encouraged him to say what he thought. After all, three stinkers are better than one Zhuge Liang.

Ye 13 arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you know that I have just entered the court, and I don't know much about the situation of the soldiers in the court. It's just because Yumen Pass was besieged that I thought of the original Shanhaiguan. ”

Yan Rongling seemed to have an understanding.

Wang Lang also hesitated: "Yes, the situation in Shanhaiguan was really critical at the beginning. But it's impossible, let Mingzhu go to Yumen Pass again. ”

Ye Shisan no longer sold Guanzi, but said seriously: "At the beginning, I went to Shanhaiguan before the old prince and His Royal Highness the Prince. Although Shanhaiguan has reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, all the people are still in high spirits. ”

Yan Rongling thought calmly, and said in a deep voice: "When Marquis Weiyuan died on the battlefield, everyone avenged him, so they naturally worked hard. This is the victory of the mourning soldiers, if it is changed to Yumen Pass, can it still be the same? ”

Wang Lang will also come to his senses, at the beginning of the bloody battle at Shanhaiguan, there was another person who made great achievements, Ye Shisan was talking about Xiao Yao.

Ye Shisan lowered his head and said softly: "Among the generals that Weichen knows, only Xiao Yao is both civil and military. He is also the son of the Marquis of Weiyuan, born in a family of generals, and has also experienced the Great War, so I can't think of other candidates. ”

Wang Lang also knows that Xiao Yao is capable.

agreed: "That's right, now Xiao Yao has thought about it at home, just so that he can make meritorious contributions." ”

Yan Rongling was still a little hesitant for a while, Ye Shisan saw it in his eyes, stopped talking, and only proposed others indiscriminately, naturally no one could compare to Xiao Yao.

Wang Lang said in a low voice: "Prince, haven't you been hesitating, not knowing what to do with Xiao Yao?" I think it's good to let him go to Yumen Pass. This time, after the First World War, there will be a follow-up, at least two or three years. ”

Yan Rongling understood what Wang Lang meant, this was to drive Xiao Yao out of the capital.

In the future, let him stay at the border pass, eat sand and drink the wind for a long time, others will not be able to return to the capital, and naturally have nothing to do with Mingzhu.

However, Yan Rongling still wants to think about it again, if Xiao Yao goes to Yumen Pass this time and makes a great contribution, then won't he be knighted again in the future?

Uncle lost his beloved son this time, and his second cousin was not in good health, so the Yang family was afraid that he would not be able to stay in Yumen Pass for a long time in the future. Could it be that in the future, the Yumen Pass will be Xiao Yao's?

After thinking about it repeatedly all night, the next day after the morning court, Yan Rongling still came to the imperial study.

"Father, my son thought about it all night last night, and there is another candidate."

Emperor Hong Zheng also has a candidate in his heart, and he has the heart to look at Yan Rongling to see how he sees the overall situation and people.

"Really? Let's hear it. ”

Yan Rongling took a deep breath and said, "Erchen thinks that Xiao Yao can take on this important responsibility. ”

On Emperor Hong Zhengdi's face, he couldn't see the change in expression, so he only said lightly: "Why, do you think Xiao Yao is suitable." Could he be too young? ”

"Back to my father, my son has two considerations. First, Xiao Yao had participated in the Battle of Shanhaiguan and had actual combat experience, and he was able to fight the Mongol and Jurchen armies for ten days with a small number of men and horses. Naturally, there is absolutely no problem in guarding the Jade Gate Pass.

Second, Xiao Yao is precisely because he is young, so he can arrange him however his father wants in the future. Besides, now the Yang family has no children who are enough to support it. It is better for the father to let his uncle return to the capital to raise him, which also shows that the father treats the heroes well. ”

After Yan Rongling finished speaking, he didn't wait for his father's instructions for a while, and when he looked up, he saw the appreciation in his father's eyes.

Emperor Hong Zheng was very happy, what Yan Rongling said was at least eight points similar to what he thought. The prince is shrewd and capable, and the country will have successors.

"Rong Ling, you think very well, you have to think more about things when you encounter them. I also prepared to let Yu Yuyuan go with Xiao Yao and be responsible for arranging grain and grass scheduling. ”

Yan Rongling immediately thought that Yu Yuyuan was his father Chang Wenbo, who was good at Yu Wu, and his father wanted to arrange for someone to spy on Xiao Yao openly.

Before the imperial court has arranged someone to take over Yumen Pass, he cannot be allowed to dominate Yumen Pass.

Yan Rongling Xinyue surrendered: "Father is wise, and there is nothing missing. ”

Xiao Yao had already received the news from Ye Shisan, and when Emperor Hong Zheng summoned him, he was grateful to the emperor for giving him the opportunity to make contributions.

Emperor Hongzheng was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Xiao Yao, you will take 50,000 horses and horses to Yumen Pass tomorrow." If this battle is a great success, I will return your marquis to you. If you can recapture the four sand cities and drive the Liao people out of the Helan Mountains, I can also let you go further. ”

"If you thank the emperor, you must do your best to repay the emperor's appreciation."

Emperor Hong Zheng saw that Xiao Yao was so knowledgeable, nodded and said: "Then you go back and prepare first, I hope that when you return triumphantly, Mingzhu will be able to greet you." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it meant that Emperor Hong Zheng had the intention of marrying Princess Mingzhu to Xiao Yao. It made Xiao Yao even more excited and swore allegiance.

After Xiao Yao left, Yan Rongling hesitated a little and said, "Father really plans to marry Mingzhu to him when Xiao Yao returns triumphantly?" ”

Emperor Hong Zheng bowed his head and said with a smile: "When the time comes, if the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, it will not be impossible." Besides, if you are a horse, you can't lead the troops to the battle, so why not take back the military power so easily? ”

Yan Rongling lowered his head: "Father is wise!" ”

At nightfall, Ye Shisan quietly came to Xiao's mansion, and Xiao Yao was still in the study, silently wiping his Hancui knife.

"Xiao Yao, tomorrow Chang Wenbo Yu Yuyuan will walk with you."

"I know."

"The emperor has not yet secured the Yumen Pass, and he is already preparing to weaken your power, send people to supervise you, and share your credit. And how do you think about it? ”

Xiao Yao put the polished Hancui knife into the scabbard.

said indifferently: "As Da Zhou Erlang, I first think about protecting the family and defending the country, and as for other things, I will talk about it later." ”

Ye Shisan couldn't help but speak: "Why don't I ask for a decree and go to Yumen Pass to help you?" ”

"No, thank you. You still stay in the capital, in case Mingzhu returns to Beijing, I haven't come back yet, you have to take good care of him. ”

Xiao Yao picked up the teacup, and Yao respected Ye 13 and said: "The prince values you more and more, and you can only help Mingzhu if you stay in the capital." ”

Ye Shisan was silent, then took a sip of tea before saying, "You yourself are in Yumen Pass, so you have to take care of yourself." ”

"I will, I'll talk about it later, it's every boy's dream to be able to go to the battlefield and make contributions. I have this opportunity, and I would like to thank you for your recommendation. ”

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, Ye Shisan smiled bitterly: "Even if I don't say it, the emperor will send you." ”

"The emperor sent me, which is different from your recommendation. Thirteen, I see that the prince has a deep obsession with Mingzhu, if there is any news, you must tell Mingzhu in time. ”
