As Chu Yang finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell into a fierce discussion, and the personnel were divided into two factions, one faction was headed by Chu Yang, with Yue Shan, Zhao Fan, and Zhou Bei unconditionally supporting Chu Yang, advocating that Lu Ping should be called hereditary to take over Lu Hang's official title according to the world's etiquette. On the other side, Cheng Yuan and Zhu Kang strongly opposed Lu Ping's succession.

Qiu Lu, the oldest among them, was silent for a while, then he stood up and motioned to everyone: "Generals, the order of the young and the old is a ritual law since ancient times, and we naturally dare not break it easily, and it is also a fact that the eldest prince is weak and weak, if Qiaozhou is easily handed over to him, it is really difficult to ensure the safety of Qiaozhou." If the position is placed in the second son's An, I am afraid that the world will talk about us holding troops and horses and gaining power. What is at stake here is very great, and it is necessary to consider it in the long run, and we must not be in a hurry. ”

With Qiulu talking, the hall was indeed quiet, and they all figured out the pros and cons of the two in their hearts.

"General Shangyu, I waited for the general's order to go to the mass grave outside the city to find the body of the military advisor and returned, and I have come to return to the general. At this moment, someone outside shouted inside, interrupting everyone's contemplation.

Chu Yang hurriedly looked up and looked out, and saw two guards at the gate with long halberds blocking the little colonel sent earlier, Chu Yang hurriedly shouted at the guard, "Quickly call him in." ”

After entering the hall, without waiting for the school to speak, Chu Yang and the others rushed up and asked, "How is it?" "Did you find it?" and "Is the body intact......?"

"Enlighten the generals, I and 100 people have searched carefully in the mass grave many times, but we have not found the remains of any suspected military advisors. The colonel knelt down and said.

Everyone who was still looking forward to it just now was like a frosty eggplant, and everyone's face was full of disappointment and sadness.

As if he didn't give up, Qiu Lu asked again: "One of them may be eaten by wild dogs, and he can't recognize him......"

"There were a few abandoned corpses in the post, but after inspection, the subordinates learned that no matter the degree of decay or the characteristics of clothing and posture, they did not match the military division, and only a few pieces of broken clothes were found at the scene, which were slightly luxurious. Before Qiu Lu could finish speaking, the little colonel interrupted him, and took out a small package from his bosom and put it on the ground.

The moment the package was opened, it also extinguished the last glimmer of hope for several of them, and there were a few pieces of broken silk like rags, looking at the color and feel, it was indeed something in the last few days, and more importantly, there were still a lot of blood stains that had dried up on it.

waved his hand to the little colonel to signal that he could step back, and the generals looked at the two pieces of broken clothes lying quietly on the ground, and sat back in place listlessly, everyone sighed, Cheng Yuan said sadly: "Maybe it's ...... It has been eaten by wild dogs......"

Chu Yang let out a long sigh and called into the left and right attendants, endured the grief in his heart and said: "Go to the military division's mansion, take the things he used before his death and put them in a tomb, and bury him and his family outside the city, and all the officials in the state will go to the city for funeral." ”

The attendant carefully picked up the broken clothes from the ground and held them in his hands, and retreated with a low body as he bowed down to Chuyang.

The evening dinner was spent in celebration of the loss and recovery of the state and the grief of the death of the military advisor.

Because he had just gone through Ke Tong's rebellion, and he was afraid of causing public resentment if he was extravagant, Chu Yang ordered Gao Cun's funeral to be simple, just simply bought a coffin and bought some ingots and candles, and then led the civil and military generals in the state to send Gao Cun a funeral.

The biggest in Qiaozhou is Chu Yang now, and as the highest official, he handed over a detailed personal letter to the imperial court about Ke Tong's rebellion and suppression.

After two days of intense discussions, Chuyang still chose Lu Ping to take over Lu Hang's position as the assassin of Qiaozhou.

In fact, after a few days of observation, Chu Yang can see with certainty that Lu Ping is indeed weak and incompetent, and he also agrees with Cheng Yuan's analysis. Especially when he announced to him that he would take over as Qiaozhou's assassin history, Lupin's reaction was almost able to make people laugh off his big teeth, and he was trembling with excitement and fear, as if he had epilepsy. Even though there was a little joy in the depths of his eyes, it was more full of fear of self-awareness and fear of ruining his father's inheritance.

If you were to tell the truth, Chu Yang didn't want to choose him as Qiao Zhou's pastor, but he still took too much care of Lu Hang's relationship, so Chu Yang had to do this. He really didn't want to make Lu Hang, who had great kindness to him, die for any reason, and let outsiders end up with a laughing stock of heirs fighting for power.

After Lu Ping ascended the throne, Cheng Yuan and Zhu Kang kowtowed to him in extreme dissatisfaction, while Lu Ping looked at their unhappy eyes with a look of fear, if it weren't for Chu Yang standing next to him as a spiritual pillar, he could even run out of the hall directly because of fear.

In the end, under the recommendation of Chu Yang, he issued his first policy after taking office: because of the many wars in half a year, the people were miserable, and the state's taxes were exempted for one year.

It is precisely because of this policy that the people have affirmed Lu Ping's management ability, and it also makes Cheng Yuan and Zhu Kang have some satisfaction and recognition.

After two months like this, under the guidance of Chu Yang, Lu Ping gradually picked up the dignity and self-confidence that he should have as a state pastor, and his behavior began to be vigorous and resolute, slowly skimming off his previous weakness, and he was usually more frugal and frugal, without the slightest extravagance.

Lu Ping's growth had to convince Zhu Kang and others, who began to oppose him, and people's mood really changed with the change of environment.

And his two brothers also get along in harmony and take care of Qiaozhou together.

Within two months, the whole state also trained soldiers and horses to recruit warriors, and now there are nearly 100,000 troops in the entire Qiaozhou!

Zidan and Zhao Fan also successfully jumped into the peak of the first order under the personal supervision of Chu Yang, and Zhou Bei, who grew the fastest among them, is now at the realm of the second order primary!

When he broke through the day, he really startled Chuyang and Yueshan, both of them had gone through more than ten years of hard work to finally break through to the second order, and Zhou Bei only took less than half a year to achieve it, and the most important thing was that he still started from scratch!

And Yueshan, who had long been at the peak of the second order, after Chu Yang's recent observation, his breakthrough to the third order was just around the corner, and he had tested the vitality in his body, and it was already extremely thick, and now he was only one chance away from breaking through!

As the weather gradually warmed up, Chuyang also began to calculate that the war was coming, while accumulating money and food to step up the training of the military horses in the camp, while constantly sending scouts to reconnoiter the recent situation on the border, and at the same time picking out the shrewd and meticulous work to infiltrate the territory of Wei to find out the enemy's situation.

However, because Qiaozhou belongs to the southernmost part of the Han Kingdom, it is necessary to pass through Youling, Bozhou, and Lengzhou to go up to the Wei State, and even if it takes more than ten days to ride a fast horse back and forth, if there is really a war and then send troops from Qiaozhou, it will definitely take a lot of time. And the favorable fighters on the battlefield are fleeting, and the slow march is likely to cause immeasurable consequences!

Finally, after repeated thinking and discussion with the generals, Chuyang decided to ask Lu Ping to write to the imperial court and invite the soldiers and horses to go out of Qiaozhou to the border of the Han Kingdom, so as to prevent the enemy horses from suddenly pressing the border.
