"Marquis" Zhang Shiyi saw Yun Xiao coming, and quickly retreated to the side of the road and bowed.

The gatekeeper looked unnatural, and the military men dared to say anything in private. But if they were heard by real people, it would be a serious crime to offend the nobles. Especially when facing such a powerful marquis, the prison guard only looked unnatural, but he had no intention of apologizing.

"The hair has not grown all over. Who taught you to evaluate a marquis of the country in this way?"

Yun Xiao asked in a exploratory tone with expressionless face.

"Mr. Marquis, my subordinates... I have no restraint for a while, so I would like to forgive me."

The captain just gave a bow and said nothing more. It seemed that he didn't care much about Yun Xiao, and it was probably the guy's backstage was very tough.

"You haven't answered me yet, who taught you to say that."

"The General, his subordinate is General Cheng's younger brother. Please give him some face for General Cheng's sake."

Oh, it turns out that he is from the Cheng family. No wonder he is so arrogant. I just don’t know whether it is Cheng from Chang’an or Cheng Ying who died in Baoying. Whether he is living or dead, he has to give him some face. But if he is let go like this, he may not have to be a human being in the future.

He was thinking about whether to beat the board or slap a few mouths, but he found that this guy was looking at Zhang Shiyi with a proud look on his face. Zhang Shiyi looked sad and his head lowered deeply. The soldiers under his command were all sad. Once upon a time, they were also arrogant Han soldiers. Now they have become rebels who are bullied. The difference in their identities makes them feel indignant.

This is not possible. You must never let those who have just been loyal to you suffer such humiliation.

"Come on, drag it down and kill it."

The captain was immediately stunned. He never expected that his eyes turned his spanking into a beheading. Dai Yu waved his hand and two iron guards flew off the horse. They were both former Wu army captains. They were the most annoyed by the people who humiliated the soldiers of the Wu army. They dragged them aside and pulled out their swords and took off their heads.

"The head is hung on the city gate, so that everyone can see it. Zhang Shiyi. Let your brothers go home. This marquis has requested an imperial edict, hoping that Your Majesty has pardoned your sins. But I don't know how to approve this marquis, and that's all I can do."

The soldiers of the Wu army all knelt on the ground and used the most noble etiquette to send Yun Xiao and his party to the city.

Yun Xiao's memorial was taken from the military newspaper, and he rushed to the Taiwei Mansion in a hurry. Zhou Yafu did not dare to neglect the military newspaper and immediately went to the palace to meet Liu Qi.

"The Marquis of Lintong is indeed not an ordinary person. Liujiabao killed more than a thousand heads. He just killed more than 11,000 rebels under Jiangdu City. Dou Yuan, the Prime Minister of Jiangdu, also drew a note to prove that the heads are correct. I know that Lintong Hou has always had the habit of rewarding the heads with the heads, and he probably won't falsely report it."

Liu Qi was walking, lowering his head and pondering as if he was listening or not.

"I don't doubt that he will seek rewards. Lintong Hou is a man who doesn't like being an official. He can't do such a thing. What I care about is this memorial. What do you think, tell me what you mean."

"I am a military rank and a grand lieutenant. I always think about the military ranks when speaking and doing things. Don't blame me."

"No wonder, you said. I listen."

"The real guns and swords between the two armies are actually not scary. What's scary is that they don't know where the enemy is..."

Zhou Yafu looked up at Liu Qi and observed Liu Qi's expression.

"Say. Let's continue."

Seeing Liu Qi's encouraging eyes, Zhou Yafu said: "When war, the most fear of such a situation of frequent soldiers and civilians, you will be the people who go to fight and suppress them. You can't kill them indiscriminately. As a result, you shoot cold arrows and touch the checkpoints when you are unprepared. Such bad officials are troublesome to think about it. The 300,000 troops of the Former Qin Dynasty went to Lingnan as a lesson. Tu Jia was also a general who commanded the troops. As a result, he was killed by such tactics.

I think that from a military perspective, Lintong Hou’s suggestion is correct. Recruiting the soldiers of the former Wu army with a little training will be elite soldiers. It is very useful in stabilizing the situation in Jiangnan.”

"I am not worried about their combat power, but their loyal ministers. After all, they are against the court. If they are re-armed, the consequences of the King of Wu will be unpredictable when he shouts in Dong'ou."

"I am a member of the army and do not understand political affairs. The prime minister seems to be more clear about political affairs."

Zhou Yafu was very respectful and had no interest in interfering with his unexpected power.

Liu Qi's hands knocked on the table one after another, and the hall was terrifyingly shocked.

"Has the matter between King Jiangdu was confirmed?"

"The joint memorial between the Marquis of Lintong and Prime Minister Dou Yuan has arrived, confirming that King Jiangdu was indeed captured by Xiang Sanqiu. The Marquis of Lintong once tried to rescue him, but only beheaded more than a thousand times but failed."

"Okay, go ahead and prepare for tomorrow's court discussions. The matter of King Jiangdu is still to be suppressed. After all, Jiangnan has just settled down, and a vassal king was looted by the rebels. It is reported that it will be unfavorable to the court."

"promise"

Zhou Yafu stepped backwards out of the hall. Liu Qi looked at Zhou Yafu who was retreating backwards and muttered "slip" as if nothing had happened.

Liu Qi felt that the court officials were too obedient and no longer had any ministers like Chao Cuo who dared to speak out and was extremely loyal. Even soldiers like Zhou Yafu began to become smooth, it was not a good thing for the court. It was of course important for the emperor to be arbitrary, but it was also impossible to miss the ministers who advised him to falsely abide by their gains and losses.

"Let's go to Changle Palace to take a look. I haven't been to the old lady for a long time."

Qiandu led the imperial carriage to the gate of Changle Palace and saw Cheng Ji's back from afar.

As October approaches, Chang'an is already a little cool, and the sun seems to have vented the roar of a summer. Now it is a bit of insufficient momentum, so the Queen Mother put a blanket in the garden and put a row of grasshopper cages on the table.

"The emperor is here, you can go and welcome the emperor quickly."

The empress dowager put down a cucumber cage in her hand and said to the palace servant beside her with a serious face.

"Mom, sometimes I really don't know if you are really blind or fake. The palace people have not found their son. How did you know?"

Liu Qi admired his mother's ability to predict the future.

"The insect told me, don't look at these little creatures, they can only tell me many things."

“For example…”

"For example, the emperor's heart is full of confusion and irritability now."

"Mother Cheng Ji is here to bother you."

"My son was taken away by someone, and my brother died in battle. If she weren't in a good mood, she wouldn't be in a good mood. I didn't dare to go to you and say it to me, the old woman. Judging from your tone today, the matter of King Jiangdu is probably true. When you were out of the vassal king, you felt it was inappropriate. Fei'er, a child, was impatient and not a stable person. It might be better to send a knowledgeable person like Dou Yuan to help him, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

The vassal king of the vassal was actually plundered by a rebel. It is the first time I am a big man. What are you going to do with it?"

"My son is also worried about this matter. The army of Jiangdu was defeated by the rebels. Fortunately, the Marquis of Lintong arrived in time. Nearly 20,000 rebels besieged Jiangdu, and he killed more than 11,000. Two or three thousand people were captured. I really can't imagine how corrupt the situation would be if Jiangdu fell into Jiangnan.

Now the King of Changsha, Jiujiang, Kings were struggling to support him, and they wrote letters to the court to send troops to support him. The Huns in the north still repeatedly invaded the border. The Marquis of Lintong came to memorial and said that they would use the pacification and use it. I am considering it now and have asked Zhou Yafu what he agreed. But..."

"But are you worried about the loyalty of these surrendered soldiers of the Wu army?"

The Empress Dowager leaned forward and said to Liu Qi.

"My son is worried about this matter. If these people have repeated it, the situation in Jiangnan will be completely corrupt, and then the court will have to launch troops to attack. The Jiangnan water network is scattered and is not suitable for the Northern Army to fight..."

"Young men are always reckless and unscrupulous. Do you know why? Because they have no home, and people without a home will naturally have no scruples. If all the families of the surrendered army are moved to Guanzhong, do you think they will still rebel?"

"My mother's proposal is good, but it may cost tens of thousands of people. Where can the land in Guanzhong stand such a division? It may be lost in a few years. What kind of reward will I give to the heroes in the future?"

"Yun Xiao has solved these things. His workshop is always not enough for people. Besides, those soldiers and generals were all surrendered by him, so he naturally gave them his land to share them. Don't think that he is poor and rich. Your inner mansion may not be as rich as him. You don't know, when he was in Huainan, he embezzled a large number of seizures. Lao Shi received tens of thousands of coins, so we have to spend this money on his behalf."

"Damn it, it was actually seized in private. This is a serious crime, I want it..."

"What are you going to do? Catch him or kill him. What should I do without him in Jiangnan? Find another general who can defeat nearly 20,000 people with more than 500 people and kill more than 10,000 people. This person is useful and has no ambitions. If he is not even greedy for money, then you must be careful.

No one is perfect, but everyone has shortcomings and has small thoughts. The royal family uses loyalty and easy to use. As for being greedy, as long as it is not too much, he will let him do it. Besides, this is also the handle of the royal family. Once he has any wrong thoughts, a crime of corruption can take his life. At that time, the people in the world would only say that the emperor was wise, and no one would say that the royal family killed meritorious officials indiscriminately.

If you ask him to do things in Jiangnan, you will give him power. But if he is too powerful, he is afraid that he will have other thoughts. If he is too powerful, it will be bad. So he will move all the families of these generals to Guanzhong. In this way, even if he has different thoughts in Jiangnan, no one will rebel with him."

Jiang is still old, and Liu Qi is not the first mother's opponent after the Lu family's rebellion. A reasonable explanation made Liu Qi feel enlightened. His mother was right. As long as he grasped Yun Xiao's greedy braid, he had to submit even if he had great contributions. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
