Chapter 109 Undercurrent

After the soldiers arrived, with the help of local craftsmen, they began to build walls and work sheds. Some of the things inside were not needed for mining and other things. They were already there, and Yang Gan was cheaper.

Although they are old and weak soldiers, depending on who they are compared with, some of them are disabled and cannot form military formations. Compared with ordinary people, to be honest, a veteran with one hand missing can cut down several young men. Most of them can't. It's just that a few fingers are missing, which doesn't affect its combat effectiveness at all.

In Chaoxian, during a simple court meeting, everyone was in a quarrel. Officials headed by the prime minister impeached Yang Qian one after another.

In the borderland, information is not smooth, but after so many months, even the deaf have heard the ridiculous deeds about Yang Gan.

A well-dressed old man with a serious face stood up, raised his hands to King Xia Wen on the throne and said, "Your Majesty, I think that although Yang Qianzhuzi has repeatedly made military exploits, he is arrogant and domineering. It is said that he uses soldiers to help him guard his home and courtyard. , This is treason and immorality, these thieves should be punished with death."

King Xia Wen looked at his nose, nose, and heart without saying a word. He had an old look on his face. Those who didn't know it thought he was dead.

Qu Xiuwen thought for a while and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think that what the Prime Minister said is wrong. General Yang attacked the Xiongnu from the north and repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. He not only snatched back our people in Daxia, but also captured a large number of Huns to serve our Daxia." He let out a fierce anger."

Xue Kang'an also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Huns now call General Yang the Masked Demon. As long as General Yang is at Baiyun Pass, the Huns will never have the threat of invasion, and I, the hinterland of Daxia, can live in peace."

As soon as the two people spoke, there was an uproar on the scene. Both the Prime Minister and the other middle-aged man showed an undetectable murderous intention in their eyes.

Everyone was in an uproar, not because of what they said, but because Weiwei and Zhili Neishi actually dared to openly say that the prime minister was wrong. What did they want to do? The following is the fault, but it is a court meeting now and there is no way to say it clearly.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and we all felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing and the air had become colder.

"Father, Jie thinks that General Yang has made outstanding achievements many times and has worked hard, so it is okay to command some soldiers. However, considering that he is still young, I am afraid that if he is not disciplined for a long time, he will go astray. It is better to let him serve as a court official." It’s good to observe his nature.”

Ji Jie raised his hands to King Xia Wen, neither humble nor arrogant, thinking clearly and speaking with reason.

After a long time, King Xia Wen said faintly, "Everyone, if you have any thoughts, please feel free to express them."

Everyone is looking at their own toes. How can they dare to talk nonsense at this time? Establishing a legitimate son is a very sensitive issue. It is okay to win over retainers, but it is a bit overstepping to win over the three ministers and nine ministers.

Besides, no matter which side he said, he was always against the other side, especially Zhili Neishi and Weiwei. These two people must have drank fake wine, otherwise how could they be against the prime minister and the eldest son.

At this time, a military general with a round-looking appearance came out and said with cupped hands, "Your Majesty, although General Yang's behavior is a bit excessive, he is strict in running the army. He also encourages everyone in the army to protect their homes and country and be loyal to your Majesty. Such actions are in accordance with the law." I think there is no need to return to Chaoxian."

"Autumn will begin in a few months. Every time the foreigners harvest grass and grain, they are afraid that when General Yang is not around, the Xiongnu will go south, which will be self-defeating."

"Pfft~~~!"

Everyone looked at the eldest son who laughed out loud, and he waved his hand, "Is it possible that without him, the Huns can still turn the world upside down."

King Xia Wen winked at the waiter beside him, and the poet immediately took out a letter from his sleeve and read it aloud.

"Your Majesty, I will pay you a hundred bows. I will bow to the last general Yang Gan. I need fifty thousand more troops at the border. Do you want to give me a word..."

"Wow~~~~~"

The place was filled with excitement. A gray-haired old man walked out tremblingly and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, this man is arrogant. He dares to ask for troops like this. He must be planning to rebel."

"That's right, Your Majesty, this son must not be kept."

Some officials, including the prime minister and the eldest son, were all making a fuss.

"Your Majesty, Yang Qian's son wants to eat beef in public. This is shaking the foundation of our country."

"Your Majesty, Yang Qian is still recruiting a female guest of unknown origin in his mansion. This is against etiquette and law. Please punish her."

The Prime Minister and Young Master Jie couldn't help but sneer. Such people really can't be called enemies. If it's just such a plan, it's better to be comforted. It's easier to control a fool.

Qu Xiuwen covered his head and closed his eyes. What did the young master think? Can he write documents? If he can't, let Tian Zong write for him.

I wrote so politely at the beginning, but later it felt like I owed him hundreds of thousands of gold. Those who didn't know better thought I was here to demand a debt.

"You don't need to say any more. Although I don't know what General Yang intends to do, the border affairs have been fully entrusted to him." King Xia Wen was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and had no intention of discussing with the following.

The Prime Minister shouted, "Your Majesty, please do not do this. Young man Yang Qian is so arrogant and contemptuous of your Majesty's authority. He should be immediately escorted to court and sentenced to five punishments as a warning to others."

Prince Jie smiled and said, "Prime Minister, wouldn't it be a pity to kill such a man? Besides, he has great merits."

He paused, looked at King Xia Wen on the throne, and suggested, "Father, let Yang Qian come to court the virtuous man, so that he can learn how to write documents. It is said that he is only a teenager, and he is good at educating students. He may be a good person in the future." I am the pillar of Daxia."

King Xia Wen gradually opened his eyes, and suddenly a kingly aura filled the air, and the expressions of all the ministers and ministers present changed.

He said with a calm tone and no emotion at all, "I am not discussing with you, but the king has ordered us to select one hundred thousand soldiers from the Chaoxian Army Camp to go to Baiyunguan, bring all the luggage, copper and iron, and equip with more food and grass."

"this......"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, a little dumbfounded. Who would have thought that the usually steady King Xia Wen would be so childish.

The prime minister glanced at Young Master Jie without revealing his expression, and the latter nodded, and everyone present shouted in unison, "I will obey the king's edict. Your Majesty will live forever, and the Great Xia will live forever."

King Xia Wen fled without saying anything.

Several ministers hurried over and asked, "Prime Minister, what is going on?"

"Yeah, we didn't receive any news."

"Who is this Yang Gan?"

"This guy doesn't take your Majesty seriously. If he keeps going like this, he will end up raising a tiger sooner or later."

The gray-haired old man trembled and said, "Shuzi, Shuzi, I want to challenge him..."

.......

"Hahahaha, just forget it. Being beaten to death doesn't look good."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Gu, you are almost eighty, and you can almost take care of yourself in old age."

"Hahaha, I bet Master Gu will be killed within three moves."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Although I am a Zhuzi, I heard that I am born with supernatural powers. Mr. Gu, I'd better forget it and just curse."

When everyone was making a fuss, Master Jie hurriedly grabbed Taiwei Zhou Qi, who was about to escape, and whispered, "Sir, Taiwei, can you take a step to speak."

Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment, but still followed him out of the hall, walking along a path step by step.

"Sir Taiwei, have you chosen the generals for the expedition?"

Zhou Qi glanced at him, his heart brightened, and he smiled and said, "Master Jie, do you have any advice?"

"I dare not give you advice, what do you think of General Sang Qirui?" Master Jie, Jie Jie Jie Jie smiled, seemingly casual, but actually testing.

"inappropriate."

"Why?"

"The king's intention is to have the army support General Yang. General Yang is the general who Zhenbei, and Sang Qirui is the general who conquers the north. Who will be in charge at that time?"

Young Master Jie nodded, but in his heart he cursed Zhou Zhou half to death, "Old guy, your heart is open."

"How is General Xin Zhao?"

Zhou Qi thought for a long time but still looked at him with a smile on his face, without any expression. Young Master Jie was furious. This old guy was out of luck, so he had to use his trump card.

"Perhaps Lieutenant Zhou doesn't know yet, but there has been no news about my younger brother Gongzi Zhao for nearly half a year. I heard that when the Huns came in, he used his natural power to rush to the enemy camp. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he is really a warrior...

..”

Zhou Qi stopped, his look of horror turned away, and he said with deep meaning, "Young master, the Xiongnu and other foreign races are a serious concern to Daxia. If General Yang can get rid of them all, both for Daxia and you

, are extremely beneficial.”

"Of course, so what do you think about sending General Xin Zhao?"

"Later, I will hand over the draft list of personnel to the king. Everything will be subject to the king's orders."

Looking at Zhou Qi's old face like a chrysanthemum, Master Jie also laughed, looking like everyone was happy.

Later in the evening, Zhou Qi showed the list and arrangements to King Xia Wen. King Xia Wen glanced at it casually and said with a smile, "Is that what Jie'er meant?"

Zhou Qi's heart trembled. He didn't expect that it would be a good idea to sell Young Master Jie, but King Xia Wen saw it, but there was nothing he could do. If Young Master Zhao fell, the throne of the king would definitely belong to Young Master Jie.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare."

"Hmph, just follow this list and send out one hundred thousand soldiers as quickly as possible."

"Nuo~~~!" Zhou Qi walked out depressedly. He understood that this time he had already broken up with the king, and he did not want to help after thinking about it. He had indeed violated the taboo of royal power. There is no such thing in this world.

An argument that pleases both sides.

But he had no choice. The whereabouts of Ji Zhao, who had the best relationship with him, was unknown. He had been secretly investigating for a long time but there was no news about Ji Zhao. In the past six months, he had not even paid attention to the disappearance of his daughter.

Qu Xiuwen happened to come in, looked at Zhou Qi's lonely back, and asked King Xia Wen without knowing why, "Your Majesty, this is..."

"Humph, I want to please both sides. Here is the list. Take a look at it yourself." King Xia Wen threw the list to Qu Xiuwen.

Qu Xiuwen immediately checked it out. Don't think that the governor of Li Neishi does not care about military affairs. He didn't understand. When he saw it, he was shocked and said, "Isn't it true that Zhou Taiwei always doesn't help each other? Zhao Xin is a son of Gongzi Jie. Now that he's gone,

Will it cause trouble to the young master?"
