Hegemony

Chapter 47: Conspiracy

When he saw Huang Shan, Xiao Yan's face never looked good. The whole hall was frightened to listen to Huang Shan reading the imperial edict, for fear that Xiao Yan would beat Huang Shan if he didn't listen to a word, and then pat his buttocks and leave. I'm afraid these people will bear the charge of beating the imperial envoy.

When he knew that Huang Shan was going to be an imperial envoy again, and it seemed that he would stay in Jiankang Prefecture as a left-behind department. These officials of Jiankang have already greeted the 18 generations of women of the Huang family in their hearts, and most of them are very eager to have a relationship beyond friendship. Seeing Huang Shan standing in the middle of the hall and taking out the imperial edict to read, he gritted his teeth and scolded in his heart, "Where are you going? You have to go to Jiankang to join the fun. Wasn't the situation messy enough last time? If you come back this time, you have to play me to death to be willing! Come on. Get out of here after reading it. If you don't leave, you can watch it in the future.

Xiao Yan saw everyone kneeling down, and he was still standing there, meditating. When Huang Shan saw Xiao Yan standing upright and with a bad face, he couldn't help shaking his heart and said, "Huang came to the former official to specially make a grace. Xiao Yan has contributed to the country and is exempted from kneeling." After saying that, Xiao Yan didn't know Shane, but looked at him, and the situation was suddenly a little embarrassing.

Lu Chen was kneeling next to Xiao Yan, pulled Xiao Yan's hem and whispered, "General Xiao, just thank you for your kindness."

Xiao Yan looked at the kind Lu Chen and nodded his head and said thank you to Huang Shan.

Lu Chen quickly said, "General Xiao has never entered the court. He doesn't understand the etiquette, but he is still loyal and patriotic in his heart. Guarding Jiankang this time is the best proof."

Since someone played the round and had a step, Huang Shan didn't hurry down and said, "When the imperial edict arrives, everyone will accept the order."

In the three-year-old, Huang Shan said, "According to heaven, the emperor's edict..."

“..... Xiao Yanzhongjun is the people and specially awarded the light car captain, the commander of the Jiankang garrison army, and the commander-in-chief of the Jianghuai Road Rebel Army. 30,000 infantry and 15,000 sailors were allowed. After the large and small officers in the army were recruited, they reported to the court for another appointment. Lu Chen of Jiankang Mansion was not afraid of forced captight and led large and small officials to fight against the enemy. Dr. Yin Qingguanglu, Quan Jiankang Mansion... Huang Shan was the pillar of the imperial court, not afraid of gold, loyal to state affairs, and the special committee Jiankang left behind... I hope that the large and small officials of Jiankang will work together to complete the restoration of the country as soon as possible. , don't live up to my kindness..."

"After three times of gratitude, the large and small officials had their own rewards, all of which were full of joy, but after getting up, they all came to Xiao Yan first to say joy. Xiao Yan casually dealt with a few words and was ready to go out...

"General Xiao, please go slowly. Here is another decree for Mrs. Yang. Is he here?" Huang Shan hurriedly asked when he saw that Xiao Yan was about to leave.

"High War". Xiao Yan shouted with a blank face. After Gao Zhan came over, Xiao Yan pointed to Huang Shan and said, "Take this adult to see Brother Yang." After saying that, he left by himself.

"Lord Huang, please!" Gao Zhan doesn't care if you are Lord Huang and Lord Lv. He only listens to Xiao Yan's words and sees that Xiao Yan doesn't like him, so he doesn't have to be too polite to him.

Huang Shan's nose was crooked, and he ignored the officials in the hall and followed Gao Zhan to find Yang Tai. A group of officials stared at each other and finally looked at Lu Chen. Lu Chen also smiled bitterly and spread his hands. Let's all break up. Go whatever you have to do." After saying that, he shook his hand and left.

After Xiao Yan came out, he really didn't know where to go. He was hesitating. Yang Zaixing broke up and called him behind him. Xiao Yan turned around and saw Yang Zaixing smiling and didn't say anything.

Yang Zaixing is a straight man who thinks that Xiao Yan doesn't like to see Huang Shan and comforts him, "Brother Xiao, he is a second-grade left-behind, but he is an empty shell here. You are now the commander of the garrison. The officials and you recruit troops by themselves. Although it's a little less, it's better to do it first. That yellow eel loach can also be recruited. Don't let him take the lead.

Xiao Yan was originally annoyed because of Mrs. Yang's matter. When he heard Yang Zaixing, it was really like that, so he said to Yang Zaixing, "Yes, it's better to do it first. Let's go to the barracks.

When he came to the barracks, Xiao Yan called all the fat fish and Xiaoqi fat dragon Hou Ying and others, and ordered them to gather except for normal patrols. Suddenly, there was a "woo-woo" sound in the barracks. After this period of training and the training of guard Jiankang, these people have only been less than a month. It has begun to take the shape of a well-trained team. In less than half an hour, the team has gathered. After the report of the secretary of the barracks, the existing personnel are a little more than 53,000, and the actual number of 46,000 people went out to patrol.

Xiao Yan looked at the people in front of him who survived the war. According to the regulations of the court, some of them would be abolished. But Xiao Yan looked at the brothers who died together in front of him and hesitated. At this time, a doorman led a group of people at the camp gate in the distance. He approached and saw that it was Lu Chen and several officials of Jiankang Mansion. When he came closer, he saw Xiao Yan's look. Then he looked at these people on the training ground. He walked closer and smiled and said, "After we came out, he thought that General Xiao may have come here, and he kept looking for this Hurry up, it's really caught up."

Xiao Yan looked at Lu Chen and the two officials who came in a hurry. Although they didn't know what was going on, they were moved. They shook their hands and left. On a hot day, the master came again with sweat. Holding his fists with both hands, Xiao Yan said, "Lord Lu, it's hard work, you are..."

Lu Chen and the two people who came together looked at each other and said, "General Xiao, can you take a step to talk?" Xiao Yan nodded and talked to Yang Zaixing, and the four came to the middle army tent of the barracks and sat down.

"General Xiao, are you unhappy about Mr. Yang today?" Lu Chen's eunuch sea has been ups and down for many years. When he announced the decree, he saw at a glance that Xiao Yan was not aimed at Huang Shan, but had something else. So when he saw Xiao Yan, he didn't beat around the bush and said it directly.

Xiao Yan was stunned, then lost his smile, nodded and said nothing.

Lu Chen saw Xiao Yan's nod and immediately said, "Mr. Yang, although I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, his knowledge and opinions are indeed unique. I don't know how General Xiao and Mr. Yang met Mr. Yang, but Mr. Yang and General are definitely not the same kind of people." After saying that, Lu Chen looked at Xiao Yan and said nothing more.

After a long time, Xiao Yan sighed, "Lord Lu is frank. Xiao Yan is grateful, but he is used to getting along with each other. First, it's a little sad to separate."

In fact, Xiao Yan doesn't know what it feels like in his heart. He just feels that Mrs. Yang can leave without any warning and can't accept it emotionally. Xiao Yan came to this world and has always lived a life of fear. Later, although he controlled his fate and had several good brothers, they all depended on themselves everywhere.

Since I met Mrs. Yang, he is older than himself and has done things successfully. Second, they feel that they get along well and trust each other. Therefore, although Xiao Yan is the owner of the village, Yang Tai is Xiao Yan's spiritual support from time to time. It's just that Xiao Yan doesn't know either.

Thinking of this, he said, "Thank you, Lord Lu, for your concern. I will take care of this matter."

"I came to General Xiao now for another thing." Seeing that Xiao Yan turned things apart with Mrs. Yang, Lu Chen said again.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Xiao Yan asked strangely.

Lu Chen pointed outside and said, "Are you worried about the number of recruits on the imperial edict?"

Xiao Yan looked at Lu Chen more strangely.

Lu Chen saw Xiao Yan's puzzled look and smiled and said, "General Xiao is embarrassed because he doesn't understand my Song's recruitment system. In the past, it was to have more empty seats, but the number of soldiers was not enough. Then the topic turned into a strange smile and asked, "I don't know if General Xiao didn't listen carefully to the content of the imperial edict today?"

"The imperial edict, I heard it and heard it." Xiao Yan looked at the smile on Lu Chen's faces and said doubtfully, "Is there anything fishy?"

"Of course." Xiao Yan knew Ma Guangzu, the general judge of Jiankang. When he saw him, he said with a smile, "On the imperial edict, he said that he was allowed to recruit soldiers, but he did not say where the soldiers' pay armor and ordnance came from." Speaking of this, Ma Guangzu sighed, "This is the official who is still thinking about Jiankang's family background!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan finally understood. As soon as I entered the officialdom, I almost fell into a trap, and it is still the trap of today's emperor. What should I do? Xiao Yan looked at them and said, "Since Lord Lu came today, there must be a countermeasure. Please give me some advice."

"I dare not teach, but although Lu is Jiankang's parents, this is given by General Xiao." Lu Chen said and looked at the two, saw that both of them nodded and said yes, and then said, "According to the official position of the Song Dynasty, this major affairs of Jiankang's military and political affairs were controlled by the left-behind department in wartime. I, the governor, am responsible for civil affairs. You, as the commander of the garrison army, are usually responsible for the training and management of soldiers. Once there is a war, you must be left-behind.

When Xiao Yan heard this, he somewhat understood the official position of the Song Dynasty. He couldn't help laughing and said, "At worst, go back to Dongting and be free."

"I'm afraid that General Xiao will think so before the three of us come here." Lu Chen said, "The soldiers recruited by General Xiao belong to the local army. The soldiers of the left-behind department belong to the imperial court, but now there are no soldiers to send. I'm afraid our Huang left-behind will recruit troops by himself.

Speaking of this, Lu Chen and the three of them all smiled meaningfully.

Xiao Yan understood as soon as he thought about it. The recruitment of troops should have military salaries, military grain, armor and weapons, but these are all in Xiao Yan's hands. What did Huang Shan use to recruit soldiers with empty hands? He couldn't help smiling and said, "Then we will give him one..."

Such Xiao Yan stopped looking at the three people. For a moment, all four of them laughed...
