Chapter 569, the general trend
Yang Peng smiled: "Do you think that I will be like Cao Cao in the future, in order to be afraid of being robbed and digging graves, I will spend countless times to set up a big bright and suspicious grave?" Zhang Xiang didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Yang Peng said: "It's normal for you to have this thought. Cao Cao is amazing, he is a real hero! But he doesn't look like a hero in this matter! I couldn't help but raise my chin and said proudly: "The eldest husband is alive, but if you want to be vigorous, why care about things behind you!" As far as I'm concerned, burying bones in the green mountains is the best place to go, so why do you have to have a burial place! Or turn into ashes in the flames, scatter them over thousands of rivers and mountains, and become one with this mountain and river forever! ”
Everyone stared at Yang Peng with wide eyes, the generals were excited, and the civil officials were amazed, only thinking that King Yan was really a great hero! Throughout the ages, the only one who could regard death as an idle one was King Yan!
Yang Peng looked at Zhang Xiang and asked with a smile: "So, Zhang Xiang, are you still worried that one day, you will return to the underground after obtaining everything from the underground today?" Zhang Xiang hugged his fists with great admiration and said: "King Yan is arrogant, and his subordinates have nothing to say except admiration!" ”
Yang Peng thought for a while and said to Zhang Xiang: "From now on, you have to publicize the evil nature of the kings of all dynasties to loot the people's fat and ointment and lavish burials!" Isn't it disgusting that the king, though he has innumerable treasures of gold and silver, does not use them to help the people, but buries them all in the ground, and when he dies, he clung to the fat and ointment of the people that he has scavenged? ”
Zhang Xiang nodded, clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates understand." Huang Qiaoyun came out of the queue and presented a report, saying: "King Yan, the supervision officials stationed in Sichuan have sent the first report. Yang Peng glanced at Jiang Li standing next to him, who understood, immediately went down to take the report, and came back to present it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng picked up the report, opened it, and looked at it carefully. With a look of surprise on his face, he looked at Huang Qiaoyun and asked, "Seven prefects, five prefects were arrested for corruption and bribery?" ”
Huang Qiaoyun said: "Exactly! This is the evidence that has been conclusive and arrested, in addition, there is a prefect and six prefects are being secretly investigated, and nine times out of ten they will not be able to escape! Yang Peng continued to read the report, frowned, and said: "Judging from the above situation, the officials in Sichuan are basically corrupt!" Huang Qiaoyun sneered: "What good officials can there be under the rule of Zhao Song, this is called the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked!" ”
Yang Peng smiled. After thinking about it, he looked at Tang Shidian, the person in charge of the Ministry of Education, and said: "Your education department must select a large number of talented students as soon as possible. Tang Shidian bowed and promised.
Yang Peng glanced at the report in his hand, couldn't help but think of that Han Tong, looked at Huang Guang, and asked, "Is Han Tong still scolding me now?" Huang Guang hugged his fists and said: "I don't scold anymore, but I don't make a sound all day long." When his subordinates spoke to him, it was as if he didn't hear him. ”
Han Tong, that is, Han Tong, the prefect of Yazhou, who rebelled against Yang Peng when the entire Sichuan had been taken by Yang Peng before. This guy is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, after being arrested, he either scolded Yang Peng for being a traitor, or bowed to the east, Yang Peng took him all the way from Chengdu to Bianliang, and this guy scolded all the way. The people around Yang Peng were very indignant and asked to kill Han Tong, but Yang Peng didn't take this matter to heart and rejected everyone's requests. After arriving in Tianjing New Town, Yang Peng put Han Tong under house arrest in the wing of the Governor's Palace, and in the past few days, Huang Guang has dealt with Han Tong a lot. Although Huang Guang is as deep as the sea, he has no way to deal with this stinky and hard guy, and finally he thought of a way, which is to take Han Tong to the street to have a look. After seeing the prosperity of Tianjing New Town, Han Tong was very surprised, and then he didn't curse Yang Peng anymore, but frowned tightly, as if he was in deep thought.
Yang Peng said: "Let it go for the time being, it's not easy for this kind of person to change his concept!" Huang Guang clenched his fists and promised. Yang Peng glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you have anything else?" Han Bing came out and hugged his fists and said: "I just received a letter from Yang Guihua from Chengdu, and the accompanying report said that the content of the letter was about the meeting with the Tibetan envoy. Then he took out a letter and presented it. Yang Peng made some changes to the management system of the military and political system, and the members of the military committee and the political committee formed the cabinet, and the cabinet members in Tianjing New Town jointly handled the official documents and reports sent from various places. Therefore, Yang Peng's burden has been much lighter recently.
Jiang Li went down to take the letter and forwarded it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng opened the letter, took out the letter, unfolded it, and read it. After thinking for a moment, he picked up his pen and wrote a reply, handed it to Han Bing, and instructed: "Send it to Yang Guihua as quickly as possible!" Jiang Li immediately handed over the letter to Han Bing, Han Bing held the letter in both hands, promised, and said: "Another thing, the chief manager of Ye Yu reported that Cao Wei's main force has arrived in Xiangyang!" Grand Steward Ya has already arranged the defense according to King Yan's instructions! ”
Yang Peng nodded, pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the specific situation in the south today?" Han Bing said: "Now Zhao Heng only occupies Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan East Road, several states and Henan, and the rest of the land has been controlled by the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince's side now has an army of nearly one million, and his power is far above Zhao Heng! Zhao Heng is trapped in a corner, with less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, it can be said that he is struggling to survive! ”
Everyone laughed, and Yelu Hanyu said: "But this Zhao Heng is very useful to us now!" Yang Peng nodded and said, "You can use the name of this Zhao Heng to enter Jiangnan." He glanced at everyone and said, "After we take Sichuan, the situation is already very favorable to us!" There is no need to delay any longer, I will go south to attack Jiangnan in the spring! It's time for the Great Song Dynasty to be unified! ”
Everyone couldn't help the excitement in their hearts, and they clasped their fists together and said, "Long live!" Yang Peng said to Huang Qiaoyun and Tang Shidian: "After taking Jiangnan, you still need a large number of personnel to manage Jiangnan, and you two must be prepared for this matter from now on!" ”
The two hugged their fists and agreed, Huang Qiaoyun frowned and said: "I am afraid it is difficult to prepare so many talents in such a short period of time!" Yelu Hanyu said: "In extraordinary times, it is better to take some extraordinary measures." First, we can expand the scale of enrollment at the university, and second, we can select a group of low-level officials from the business community and various places for training, these people have management experience, and after the training, they should be able to take on great responsibilities! ”
Everyone thought it was a good way to drink, and they all agreed, and looked at Yang Peng together. Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully: "That's it." "After glancing at everyone, you will issue an order in the name of the cabinet to all places except Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Sichuan as soon as possible, and order the local governors to select a group of young and handsome people from among their subordinates, and then send them to Tianjing New Town. Everyone agreed in unison. Yang Peng looked at Tang Shidian and said, "You are responsible for the training, work and life after these people come, and you can go to Huang Guang if you need anything." Tang Shidian clenched his fists in promise, and then hugged his fists at Huang Guang and said, "Lord Huang, I'm going to trouble you!" Huang Guang smiled and replied: "You and I are both for the great cause of King Yan, but there is a place where I can help, even if Lord Tang speaks, I will definitely do my best to help!" "Thank you!"
Yang Peng said to Chai Yongqi: "Great official, you have to be prepared for this matter of weapons and armor. Chai Yongqi clenched his fists and promised. Yang Peng looked at Zhang Xiang again and said: "The Great War of the Southern Expedition requires a large amount of money and grain, and the money and grain that is still in Sichuan should not be moved, and it is necessary to mobilize two million taels of silver and one million quintals of grain and grass to Nanyang in case of the war." "The so-called Nanyang is now Nanyang City, Henan Province. Nanyang is adjacent to Dengzhou, and Dengzhou is next to Xiangyang, which is the barrier and outpost position in the north of Xiangyang, if Yanyun's army wants to go south from Henan to Jiangnan, it must march from Nanyang, take Xiangyang, and attack Hunan and Jiangxi.
Zhang Xiang hugged his fists and promised. Yang Peng imagined and said to everyone: "The specific strategy of this southern expedition is formulated by your cabinet. I hope to see the policy of the southern expedition that you have formulated by the time of the annual meeting. Everyone clasped their fists and promised. ……
Yang Peng, dressed in civilian clothes, rode out of the city under the escort of a dozen secret guards who were also dressed in civilian clothes, and ran straight towards a picturesque mountain villa by the river. Along the way, although the cold wind was blowing, there was a lively atmosphere everywhere, making the cold wind seem not to be too cold.
When Yang Peng and his party came to the front of the villa, the sky became very gloomy, and the clouds seemed to be pressed to the top of the roof. The group turned over and dismounted, and the Feifeng female guard guarding the door immediately greeted him: "Subordinates meet the master!" Yang Peng glanced up at the plaque of 'Songzhu Garden', and instructed Wang Kai: "You just stay in the front yard." Wang Kai and the others hugged their fists and promised.
Immediately, a group of people walked into the gate, and the entrance was a delicate hall built of bamboo and wood, with pine and bamboo on both sides, and the greenery was rising, which was pleasing to the eye. Wang Kai and the others stayed in the hall, while Yang Peng, led by a flying phoenix female guard, passed through the arch under the shade of green bamboo and entered the backyard. What catches your eye is a pool formed by natural springs, with green bamboos and pines on both sides, as well as craggy mountains and rocks, and several pavilions and pavilions in between; A pavilion by the waterhole is particularly eye-catching, built near the water, next to the waterhole waterfall, three stories high, hung all around with pink light yarn, under the caress of the mountain wind, swaying and dancing lightly, like a graceful dancing girl, fluttering like a fairy!
The Feifeng female guard stopped, pointed to the water pavilion, and said, "Lady Hanhai lives there!" Yang Peng nodded and said, "You go down." The Feifeng female guard promised and went down. Yang Peng raised his feet and walked towards the water pavilion.
Yang Peng walked into the water pavilion, under the cover of the flying light yarn, he saw a woman in white palace dress standing on the inside of the water pavilion with her back to this side, looking at the prosperous Tianjing New City not far away, her clothes fluttering, green silk flying, really not like an earthly woman, like a jade girl in Qionglou. Maybe it was Yang Peng's footsteps that alarmed her, she turned around slightly, and the flying light veil covered her face, hazy, like a fantasy, and then the light veil fell, and a bright face appeared in front of her, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel amazing.
After a few snowfalls, the entire Central Plains is like covered with thick cotton, white and boundless; The mountains, stones, bamboos and trees are all wrapped in silver, the north wind blows, and thousands of jade flowers fly all over the sky. The weather is very cold, but the atmosphere of Tianjing New Town is extremely lively, with pedestrians on the streets rubbing shoulders and vendors selling New Year's goods on both sides. The red lanterns are hung all over the streets and alleys, and the city walls are full of fire, and people are in it, only the feeling of fiery fire, and they can't feel the cold of the harsh winter at all; Children chased and played, and laughter sounded through the streets, through the alleys, all over the city; Various programs are being performed on the stages everywhere, the audience's applause comes and goes, and the Sima family's recruitment ring is even more lively, which can really be said to be a sea of people!
At this time, in the study of Yanwang Mansion, Yang Peng was talking to a few brothers who had just arrived, everyone had not seen each other for a long time, and they were all very excited, as if they had countless words to say. Duan Zhixian said loudly: "Big brother, then pacify the battle in the south, I can be a pioneer!" Several others shouted. Duan Zhixianniu's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "What are they called?" Your army is not in the south, so why should you rob me! Everyone was depressed and looked at Yang Peng, Yang Jingyang begged: "Big brother, you can transfer me to the south, there is nothing to do in the north now, and I have lice all over my body!" ”
Yang Peng said angrily: "The transfer of the army is not child's play, you can't say that the transfer will be transferred!" Yang Jing was depressed, and suddenly pointed at Duan Zhixian and said: "Big brother, you can transfer me Yang Jing and Duan Zhixian one by one, what Duan Zhixian can do, I Yang Jing is also capable!" Duan Zhixian's eyes widened, "Fart!" What my family can do is not what you Yang Jing can do! Besides, why should I transfer with you? Yang Jing pursed his lips and said angrily: "Duan Zhixian, you are too not enough brothers!" You have to fight with me for such a trivial matter! Duan Zhixian blushed and shouted, "It's easy to talk about other things, this matter is not negotiable!" Yang Jing muttered in a low voice: "If you don't exchange with me, I will come by myself when the time comes!" ”
Yang Peng said angrily: "Yang Jing, don't do anything wrong!" My Yanyun military law is ruthless, and it is a felony to leave your post without permission, don't defy the law! If you really dare to do that, you won't be merciful as a brother! ”
Yang Jing grinned and said, "Big brother, what are you doing?" I'm just talking, and I don't really want to do that! I Yang Jing doesn't want to squat in the black prison, wouldn't I want to suffocate people to death if I don't have wine to drink or meat! ”
Everyone smiled, and Yang Peng said, "It's good that you know!" Then he glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "You guys finally come back, go home to accompany your wife!" Presumably all the younger siblings are already looking forward to it! Everyone laughed, and their eyes couldn't help but show tenderness. Yang Jing said depressedly: "I don't have a wife, I'm the most pitiful!" The crowd laughed. Yang Jing shouted: "I'll go to the Tianjing Hotel for a drink!" Duan Zhixian, are you going? ”
Duan Zhixian was very moved, and he was about to agree, but Yang Peng stopped him first: "Duan Zhixian and I still have something to say, you go to the bar by yourself!" Remember, drinking is drinking, don't go crazy, or I won't spare you! Yang Jing grinned, "Don't worry, big brother, I, Yang Jing is the most honest!" Yang Peng rolled his eyes.
Everyone said goodbye to Yang Peng and left, leaving only Yang Peng and Duan Zhixian in the study. Yang Peng glanced at Duan Zhixian and asked, "Does Duan Zhixian still remember the Cuilian girl back then?" Duan Zhixian was stunned for a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed and said, "That's all in the past!" I forgot about it a long time ago! ”
Yang Peng patted Duan Zhixian's shoulder and sighed: "It's so easy to forget where it is!" Even if it's not unforgettable, it must be haunting! Whenever you dream back at midnight, haven't you dreamed of that Cuilian girl? The elder brother is a person who has come over, and I know that you can't let go of that Cuilian girl in your heart! The reason why you ended up going to the north probably has something to do with it! ”
Duan Zhixian was heroic by nature, and when he heard his brother say what he thought in his heart, he didn't hide it, sighed, and said, "I'm not worthy of her!" I just hope that she can live happily for the rest of her life and be satisfied! Suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, and said angrily: "I'm a wreck!" I liked her at the time, but I didn't dare to say it! I regret it now, but it's too late! ”
smiled and said, "It's not too late, why don't you go to her?" Duan Zhixian sighed, "It's not like I haven't thought about it." However, she is already Zhao Yuanwai's wife, and it is impossible for the Sprinkle family to be with him! Fuck, at the end of the day, it's just that the family is not blessed! ”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "If Zhao Yuanwai is alive, it is naturally impossible. But if Zhao Yuanwai is dead, are you willing to accept Miss Cuilian? Duan Zhixian said without thinking about it: "Of course I do!" Miss Cuilian is willing to follow me, that is a great blessing for me, what is there to be unwilling! Then he said depressedly: "But this is simply impossible!" ”
Yang Peng smiled: "That's not necessarily. Monk, Miss Cuilian is now in the palace. Duan Zhixian glared at Yang Peng in surprise, looking incredulous, "She, she, her, what's ......?" Yang Peng said: "It's also Yang Tong's heart." Now Miss Cuilian is at Yang Tong's, you should go and see her. ”
Duan Zhixian looked at a loss, "This, this, I, I'm still not there!" I'm going to drink! And he was leaving. Yang Peng grabbed him and said angrily: "Manly man, why are you afraid to see the woman you like?" Follow me! As he spoke, he dragged Duan Zhixian towards the backyard without saying anything. Duan Zhixian's heart was pounding with nervousness.
The two came to the outside of the wooden building where Yang Tong lived. I only heard a gentle and gentle female voice from inside: "Niangniang, Brother Duan, is he really willing to accept me?" I, I'm already a broken flower and a willow, but Brother Duan, he is one of Yan Yun's most famous generals! I, I'm not worthy of him! ”
As soon as Duan Zhixian heard this voice, his face turned white, and then he showed an extremely excited expression. Yang Peng dragged Duan Zhixian into the small hall, and saw Yang Tong sitting on the edge of the coffee table with a beautiful woman in a cloth skirt. The two girls heard the voice and looked at the door in unison. Yang Tong saw Yang Peng and hurriedly got up to salute, but the woman in the cloth skirt was stunned on the spot with wide eyes, staring straight at Duan Zhixian who was following Yang Peng. Duan Zhixian was so panicked that he didn't dare to look at Jin Cuilian sideways.
Yang Peng glanced at Jin Cuilian and asked with a smile, "You are Miss Cuilian?" Jin Cuilian came back to her senses, quickly stood up, and bowed: "The folk girl is Jin Cuilian, who is Your Excellency?" Jin Cuilian hadn't seen Yang Peng, so she couldn't recognize it. But this Jin Cuilian is really stupid, a man can go straight to the residence of Yang Tong, who is the princess, Yang Tong saluted him just now, who else is such a man besides King Yan?
Yang Tong whispered: "Sister, hurry up and salute!" This is His Royal Highness King Yan today! Jin Cuilian was taken aback, hurriedly knelt down, and bowed: "The folk girl didn't know that King Yan had arrived, she was rude, and she asked King Yan to forgive her sins!" ”
Yang Peng smiled: "No need to be polite! No need to be polite! Then he dragged Duan Zhixian, who was hiding behind him, pushed forward, and said angrily: "Go and help Miss Cuilian up!" Duan Zhixian sighed, looking at Jin Cuilian kneeling in front of him, he was very excited, and the scenes of the past couldn't help but come to mind. hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up with Jin Cuilian's hands. Jin Cuilian raised her head, and her eyes met, and her heart was shocked.
"You, how are you doing?" Duan Zhixian couldn't help but ask. Jin Cuilian sighed faintly and shed tears. Seeing this, Lu Zhishen thought that someone was bullying Jin Cuilian, and said angrily: "Is someone bullying my sister?" Tell the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will go to him to settle the account! ”
Jin Cuilian hurriedly shook her head, and then showed a look of memory, and said stupidly: "At the beginning, Brother Duan heard that his little sister was bullied by others, and he was so angry! Jiao Yan blushed, lowered her head, and showed guilt, and said, "It's the little sister who hurt the big brother!" If the eldest brother wasn't for the little sister, how could there be those disasters behind! It's the little sister who hurt the big brother! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
