Chapter 55: Bad News from Southern Xinjiang

Mu Lingfen's face fell, and she pulled Mu An and said solemnly: "If I let you go, you can go, I am still a concubine."

Mu An's hand pulled the chair stiffly, but he didn't go, and Mu Lingxiang on the side hurriedly said: "Little sister, don't be embarrassed by your father if you don't go."

Mu Lingfen let go of Mu An's hand, and then sat directly beside Mu Lingxiang and asked, "Mother, what about them?"

Mu An hurriedly repeated what she had just said to Mu Lingxiang, Mu Lingfen looked at Mu An with some unhappiness after listening to it, and asked: "This is what you can do with your father, Xiaowen and Xiaowu know, I really don't know about the eldest brother."

"Why did the eldest brother offend you, and you kicked him out?"

Mu An said slowly: "I just want him to live in Yunjing, and it is convenient for him to go to the court, besides, he is now an official of the imperial court, how can he still live here, it is inevitable that he will be gossiped about"

Mu Lingfen no longer entangled with Mu An about this issue, and began to talk about lengthening, Ouyang Ling occasionally interjected a few words, Yang Yan and Poria couldn't talk at all.

Several people chatted for a long time, and Mrs. Mu finally came back from burning incense, hugging Yang Yan and crying, but the joy on her face couldn't be stopped, and she kept saying "The Bodhisattva has appeared, the Bodhisattva has appeared"

Yang Yan took Mu Mansion for a whole day, and didn't go back until the evening, along the way, Mu Lingxiang and Mu Lingfen chatted happily, Ouyang Ling and Poria talked and laughed, only Yang Yan sat there quietly.

Finally returned to the Yang family's courtyard, Poria went to rest early, Yang Yan went to sit quietly in the courtyard and looked at the emptiness of the heart, I don't know what to think, recently I always think of the words that appeared in my mind in the Medicine King Valley.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the news from southern Xinjiang shook Yunjing again. In the early days of the palace hall, there were many unfamiliar faces, all of them with white hair, but the spirit was still the same.

"I beg Your Majesty to let the old minister take the army to southern Xinjiang" Yang Tian's face was heavy and shouted loudly, and dozens of old men behind him also said, "We are willing to go together."

Ouyang Jin looked at Yang Tian and the old men behind him, exhaled a long breath and said, "Old General Yang, several old generals, I know your feelings, and I am also very anxious, but this matter can't let you take risks."

"Your Majesty, I have already lost two sons, this time I don't want to lose my only son, ask Your Majesty for permission" Yang Tian knelt on the ground, and the old generals behind him also followed the request to "Hope for Your Majesty's permission"

Ouyang Jin looked embarrassed, and on the side stood a man of about fifty, wearing a purple court robe and a purple and gold crown, and persuaded him, "Old generals, Southern Xinjiang has been a great disaster for the Yun Kingdom for many years, and it is also a pain in Your Majesty's heart."

"Your Majesty also knows the feelings of the old generals, but this matter has to be considered in the long run, and this matter is not trivial."

Yang Tian looked at the official and said: "Prime Minister Ye, that's my son, I'm sorry for them all my life as a father, and now that Chen'er is back, I can't be sorry for my grandson anymore."

"A few old generals got up first, and I received a few pieces from General Bai Qing in the middle of the night last night, so I summoned you to discuss countermeasures, but I didn't let you embarrass me" Ouyang Jin stepped down from the throne and helped Yang Tian to say.

Yang Tian also stood up slowly, and the generals behind him also got up, Yang Tian said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this can't wait, the war in southern Xinjiang is urgent."

An old man behind Yang Tian also said: "Your Majesty, only the idle Qilin Army can support Southern Xinjiang now, but those boys have not experienced war for many years, and now there are no available generals."

"Although we are old, we can go into battle to kill the enemy, the war in southern Xinjiang is urgent, and if we take those boys from the Qilin Army, we will definitely be able to rescue General Yang. We are willing to swear to serve the country with Boss Yang and protect the stability of the cloud country."

The old men behind Yang Tian also said: "We are willing to follow Boss Yang to swear to serve the country and protect the stability of the cloud country."

Ouyang Jin looked at these ancient old men, with mixed tastes in his heart, turned around and slowly walked towards the dragon chair and thought: "Yang family, what my father said is really right, the Yang family is indeed the patron saint of the Yun Kingdom, and one day with the Yang family here, no matter how big the crisis of the Yun Kingdom is, it can be resolved."

"However, one day with the Yang family here, the prestige of the Ouyang family really can't rise in the cloud country. Alas, perhaps Ling'er and Luo Chen's marriage is the best way to solve the problems of the two families. But Yang Luochen is too good, and I am afraid of the excellent I, I am afraid that this Yunguo will change its surname to Yang."

On the top of the dragon chair, Ouyang Jin looked at the civil and military officials below, and then looked at Yang Tian and the firm eyes of those behind him, Ouyang Jing said: "Brother Yang and I are like brothers, and I am also very anxious, but this matter, I can't let you go, Yunguo can be today is all the old generals desperately exchanged."

"I want to follow Emperor Taizu's wishes, I promised the first emperor that I want you to enjoy your old age in peace, if I promise you, how can I face Emperor Taizu, how can I face the first emperor, how can I face the people of Yunguo, I ...... Not allowed"

"Your Majesty" Yang Tian and the old generals behind him shouted in unison, their faces even more anxious.

"Needless to say, I came to you because I wanted you to recommend a general to me and take the Qilin Army to save General Yang," Ouyang Jin said solemnly.

The hall became quiet for a while, and the civil and military officials all looked at each other, Yang Tian and they were indeed at a loss.

Ouyang Jin saw that the atmosphere was a little strange, and asked, "What's the matter, is it possible that my Yun Kingdom has no generals available except for you who are the leaders of the pot?"

After Ouyang Jin finished speaking, one of the ministers below hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, recommend one person"

"Hurry up"

"Prime Minister Ye's son, Ye Xuan. The eldest son of the Ye family is both civil and military, and the ordinary people of the people know that Ye Xuan of the Ye family is very famous as the King of Yingchuan and the Princess Palace, and is known as the three heroes of the Cloud Kingdom, and his ability will not be much worse than that of the King of Yingchuan, and now the King of Yingchuan has lost his memory, Her Royal Highness the Princess is a daughter, and Ye Xuan is the best candidate"

"The minister seconded the proposal, Ye Xuan is humble, cautious, and studied medicine and military affairs in his early years, and later has been obsessed with martial arts, and now it is the place to use"

"The minister also seconded the proposal"

"The minister also seconded the proposal"

“......”

Many people also stood up and supported Ye Xuan as General Qilin. Ouyang Jin looked at Prime Minister Ye and asked, "What does Prime Minister Ye think?"

"Back to Your Majesty, my son has long been ready to serve the country, as a person of Dayun, he must fight bravely for Dayun, rescue General Yang, and return stability to Southern Xinjiang" Prime Minister Ye Cheng said with great righteousness.

But after Prime Minister Ye Cheng finished speaking, other opinions were also raised, "The minister disagrees, although Ye Xuan is strong in martial arts, he has never been on the battlefield, has Prime Minister Ye forgotten the King of Qi back then?"

The minister also disagreed, and the minister recommended one person, Long Yu, the former general of the Qilin Army. Long Yu has followed the king of Yingchuan for many years, has experienced a hundred battles, and has made many military exploits in southern Xinjiang, and is already the general of the Qilin Army, this time it is better for him to go"

"The minister also seconded the proposal"

"The minister also seconded the proposal"

“......”

Many people also stood up, and Prime Minister Ye Cheng also said: "Your Majesty, the minister is opposed, Long Yu is a guilty body, and the relationship with those who have absconded from the Blood Shadow Guard is unclear, if he is allowed to take charge of the Qilin Army again this time, I am afraid it will damage the majesty of His Majesty."

"The minister is also opposed"

"The minister is also opposed"

“......”

The hall became lively, the quarrel was indispensable, and Yang Tian and the generals behind him did not speak one by one. Ouyang Jin then asked, "Old generals, do you have anyone to recommend?"

Yang Tian was stunned for a moment, and then discussed with those generals in a low voice, and after discussing for a while, Yang Tian returned: "We have no available people, if the King of Qi is still there, we are willing to recommend the King of Qi."

Ouyang Jin sighed and shook his head, at this time, a middle-aged man was exhibited in the group of ministers, with a resolute face, bent down and shouted loudly: "Minister, recommend one person"

The voice was loud and firm, Ouyang Jin's eyes lit up, he looked at this person and asked, "Mu Aiqing, it's difficult for you to express your opinion, say it quickly, who do you recommend?"

This person is really Yang Luochen's uncle, Mu Lingxiang's eldest brother, the current squire of the military department, and Mu Tongguang, who is also the uncle of the dynasty, usually speaks little, but every time he says something is very pertinent, and it also hits the point, Ouyang Jin has a feeling of empowerment for his words.

The hundred officials saw that it was Mu Tongguang who spoke, and they all looked at each other, because they all knew that once Mu Tongguang spoke, Ouyang Jin would definitely think about it, and even adopt his opinion, and they were all curious about who Mu Tongguang would recommend.

"The minister recommended one person, the son of General Bai Qing, Bai Zijing. This person's martial arts are mediocre, but his courage is outstanding, and he has been influenced by General Bai Qing since he was a child, and he is obsessed with military affairs. He is humble and studious, knows the general situation, knows right from wrong, is resolute and decisive, and is a general."

"A few years ago, I worked as a pioneer officer in the Qilin Army, and later returned to Yunjing to guard filial piety for his grandfather. The minister recommended Bai Zijing as the general of the Qilin Army"

Every word Mu Tongguang said was sonorous and powerful, and everyone present could hear it clearly, but Ouyang Jin asked suspiciously: "Bai Zijin, General Bai Qing has such an outstanding son, can General Yang know?"

Yang Tian shook his head and asked a general behind him, "Long Zhan, do you know?"

Long Zhan replied loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, Bai Qing does have a son who has studied military affairs since he was a child and is very talented. Later, I followed the kid from my family to train in the Qilin Army, because the Qilin Army had no more war after King Yingchuan left, so it has been idle, and Long Yu has never told me about him, and the old minister doesn't know the details."

Ouyang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Mu Aiqing, why do you want to recommend Bai Zijing?"

Mu Tongguang replied: "This Bai Zijing is my son's friend, he visited my house a few days ago, the minister has seen this person, he talks extraordinary, his views are quite unique, and he also has a deep understanding of the Qilin Army, and his analysis of the situation in southern Xinjiang is also to the point, and the minister thinks that this person must be a general."

Ouyang Jin nodded after hearing this, and asked, "But there are still people who recommend you?"

The hundred officials below all shook their heads, and Ouyang Jin said: "Immediately Xuan Ye Xuan, Long Yu, and Bai Zijing will enter the court, I really want to meet them."

"Yes," the old eunuch beside him hurried down.

Ouyang Jin continued: "The superstition sent by General Bai Qing also mentions that Daliang wants to exchange King Yingchuan for General Yang, what do you think about this matter?"

Ouyang Jin said this, and smashed the pot in the court, especially Yang Tian's side directly disagreed, Ouyang Jin frowned, and said loudly: "Quiet, say it one by one"

Yang Tian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if you exchange my grandson for my son, I don't agree to this matter, and I don't think my son will agree, the old minister proposes to directly kill Daliang and rescue my son."

"The minister opposed" Prime Minister Ye Cheng stood up, "Da Liang's arrest of General Yang this time is fake, and it is true that he wants to get the king of Yingchuan." When the king of Yingchuan went to Daliang alone, there was no trace, but then he brought back the armistice agreement, and the minister always suspected that there was something strange in it."

"Now that Da Liang wants King Yingchuan to go by name, presumably King Yingchuan and Da Liang had some kind of promise back then, and King Yingchuan has been missing for eight years, this time when he comes back, Da Liang must know that the capture of General Yang is to let Yingchuan Wan go back to fulfill his promise,"

"The minister thinks that no matter what conditions the King of Yingchuan promised to Daliang back then, since the King of Yingchuan is back, whether it is amnesia or physical discomfort, the bell must be tied to the bell, and Yingchuan Wan must go in person to solve this matter."

"Ye Wenhua, you fart" After listening to Prime Minister Ye's words, Yang Tian jumped up and scolded: "My grandson is sitting upright, and when he went to Daliang alone, he also wanted to end this war, no matter what my grandson did, he would never do anything treasonous."

Prime Minister Ye Cheng was not angry, but said slowly: "Old general, when did I say that King Yingchuan was treasonous? Could it be that King Yingchuan promised something unspeakable?"

"Ye thief, do you say it again?" Yang Tian shouted as he lifted Ye Chengxiang's collar.

"Okay" Ouyang Jin shouted loudly, Yang Tian released Prime Minister Ye Cheng, Ouyang Jin continued: "Old General Yang, I don't believe that King Yingchuan will do anything about being photographed in the Cloud Kingdom, but this matter was caused by King Yingchuan's trip to Daliang back then, and I am afraid that it can only be ended by King Yingchuan himself."

"Your Majesty," Yang Tian shouted eagerly.

Ouyang Jin waved his hand, and then said, "I know that this time is about the safety of your Yang family's children and grandchildren, whether it is the King of Yingchuan or General Yang, I don't want to see them have an accident. This time, if the king of Yingchuan does not go, the southern frontier of Yunguo may be in danger, and Yunguo may face war."

"I hereby implore Old General Yang to think about the tens of millions of people in my Yun Kingdom, I beg you," Ouyang Jin said and got up and bowed to Yang Tian.

Yang Tian was startled, knelt on the ground, wept in tears, prostrate down, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, old minister...... Lao Chen...... I can't stand it, my grandson has been missing for eight years before he comes back, and the old minister doesn't want to lose my grandson again, Your Majesty."

Ouyang Jin was a little embarrassed, and the civil and military officials in the hall did not dare to make a sound, and even Prime Minister Ye Cheng was moved.

Looking at Yang Tian who was prostrate on the ground, Ouyang Jin came to him and wanted to pull him up, but he couldn't pull him up, Ouyang Jin said: "Old General Yang, your Yang family has assisted the Yun Kingdom for three generations, for more than sixty years, and you are a well-deserved patron saint of the Yun Kingdom. ”

"I don't shy away from saying that half of this cloud country belongs to your Yang family. Now that the southern Xinjiang of Yunguo is in crisis, the children and grandchildren of your Yang family are all caught in it, and I am also very sad, and I will not force you"

"When the Yang family fell in battle and the mountain was killed in southern Xinjiang, you privately gathered troops to go to southern Xinjiang to avenge them, the first emperor did not stop you, but ordered the whole country to unconditionally reinforce you, the first emperor seemed to be flesh and blood to people like your family"

"I am also like the people of your Yang family like flesh and blood, General Yang and I are friends of life and death, as close as brothers, this time I promise that I will never let them have an accident, if you can't believe it, I will personally lead the troops to go and live and die with them"

"Your Majesty can't" After Ouyang Jin's words were finished, the hundred officials quickly knelt on the ground to stop it.
