In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was discussing with Yang Chenghua, Wu Jingyi and others about the recent battle between the Guangdong navy and the Japanese pirates. At this moment, Xiao Yeyang's note was sent over.
The emperor read the book in front of the courtiers. When he learned that Xiao Yeyang had taken back Danhe, he stood up happily and said "good" three times.
Yang Chenghua, Wu Jingyi and others saw it and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, why are you so happy?"
The emperor looked at Yang Chenghua and others and sat back on the dragon throne: "Yeyang has taken back Danhe from the hands of the Xiliao people."
Hearing this, Wu Jingyi immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, sent a talented general like Xiao Shizi to lead troops to fight in Xiliang. In less than a year, he took back the Danhe River that the Xiliao people had conquered. , it¡¯s really gratifying.¡±
Yang Chenghua and others also quickly echoed, saying that the emperor is a saint and that the emperor has a wise eye and knows pearls.
Although the emperor knew that these old foxes in the court were flattering him, he was indeed very happy.
Yeyang took the blame for him and was demoted to Xiliang. He has always felt a little guilty in his heart. Now that he is fine, he has made a great contribution by taking back Danhe, and he can justifiably compensate him.
"Ye Yang said in the book that in the coming year he will build the largest military horse farm in Daxia in Ganzhou to provide horses for the imperial court."
Yang Chenghua immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is a great kindness of Prince Xiao. Every year, the court spends huge sums of money to buy good horses from the barbarians in the north. If Prince Xiao can really build our own military horse farm in Daxia, then we will spend this money It can save money, which is a good thing that benefits the country and the people."
The emperor nodded: "I think so too. You all tell me, this time Yeyang has taken back Danhe and built an army horse farm. How should I reward him?"
Wu Jingyi glanced at Yang Chenghua, stepped forward with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Xiao was a commander of the third-grade Jinling Guard before. Now that he has made meritorious service, he deserves to be promoted and rewarded. It just so happens that the post of Commander of the Ganzhou Guard has been vacant. , it is better to promote Prince Xiao to the rank of commander."
The emperor said ¡®hmm¡¯, and then said: ¡°The Yeyang Excerpt also mentioned that the Xiliang border troops passively defended, so that the Xiliao people were so bold that they dared to cross the border and massacre the city. What do you think of this?¡±
Hearing this, the faces of Yang Chenghua and others became solemn.
They knew that life in Xiliang was difficult, but they did not expect that it would be so serious that they massacred the city.
The emperor asked Eunuch An to bring a map, pointed at Ganzhou Guard and said: "Ye Yang went to Ganzhou Guard and built three important military towns on the defense line bordering Ganzhou Guard and Xiliang."
Wu Jingyi looked at the map and nodded: "This is a good method. With three important military towns, it reduces the patrol pressure of the border troops. It can also effectively snipe the Xiliao people crossing the border and support each other."
"Your Majesty, in accordance with my opinion, other guard posts bordering Xiliang can act in this way."
Yang Chenghua agreed, but said: "It is good to build a military town, but it must be very expensive. Also, when a military town is established, the number of garrisoned soldiers may increase, and the military salary will definitely be It will increase the burden on the court.¡±
The emperor pondered for a moment: "Yeyang's wife brought a kind of grain called corn from the south. I heard that it is suitable for planting in Xiliang. The yield is not bad. As long as it is promoted, the border army can be self-sufficient. "
Hearing this, Yang Chenghua and others¡¯ expressions changed.
Concubine Xiao Shizi is really very prosperous!
If the food and clothing problem of the people in Xiliang is really solved, Xiao Yeyang will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Xiliang.
I thought that when Xiao Yeyang went to Xiliang, not only was it difficult to move forward, but he was struggling to move forward. Unexpectedly, he made great achievements in less than a year.
The emperor continued: "Border defense must not be neglected. I think the idea of ??establishing a military stronghold is feasible."
Yang Chenghua and others knew that the emperor had an idea in mind, so they said no more objections: "The emperor is wise."
In the morning of the next day, the emperor told Xiao Yeyang about taking back Danhe and pre-building the Daxia Army Horse Farm, and then announced that Xiao Yeyang was promoted to the commander of the Ganzhou Guard.
The eunuch who delivered the edict rode out of the capital on the same day. At the same time, in addition to the imperial edict, there was also a military order for Xiao Yeyang to prepare for the establishment of a major military town.
After going to court, all the officials congratulated Prince Ping one after another. Even Yan Zhigao was surrounded by many officials to congratulate him.
?¡
Fangfu.
???????? After finding a job in Guanglu Temple and returning home from Fangshuo, he went directly to Yan Yile¡¯s yard instead of visiting his pregnant concubine.
Seeing Fang Shuo coming over, Yan Yile was surprised for a moment before getting up.?Greeting: "Why did my husband come to my place?"
There was a trace of uneasiness on Fang Shuo's face, but he quickly walked over calmly, took Yan Yile's hand, sat down together, and said with a smile: "I was really busy the past few days, so I didn't come to see you. You, why are you angry?"
Yan Yile snorted: "Yes, you are too busy, busy with your Jie Yuhua every day."
Hearing this, Fang Shuo felt a little annoyed.
"If a wife from another family sees her husband taking the initiative to ease the relationship, she will definitely use the ladder to go down immediately. Yan Yile is good, but she doesn't have the right to lift which pot. She really has no sense at all.
Fang Shuo took a deep breath, thinking that Xiao Yeyang, who was demoted to Xiliang but was promoted to the rank of third-level commander in just one year, considered that he might rely on the Yan family in the future, so he could only smile and cheer up Yan Yile.
Fang Shuo was also able to keep a low profile. After a while, he coaxed Yan Yile into smiling.
In the next few days, Fang Shuo stayed with Yan Yile to rest.
The day before Xiu Mu arrived, Fang Shuo mentioned the matter about Xiao Yeyang: "My eldest brother-in-law has been promoted, so we should go to the Yan family to congratulate our uncle and aunt."
"Besides, we haven't gotten together with my second brother and sister-in-law for a long time. I'll take a break tomorrow. If I have time, I'll accompany you back to Yan's house."
The smile on Yan Yile's face suddenly stopped, and she raised her eyes to look at Fang Shuo, who was looking at her with a smile.
She hasn¡¯t seen such a gentle smile for a long time.
Just looking at such a smile, she felt a little cold.
?¡
After retaking Danhe, Xiao Yeyang waited until the city wall was initially built before returning to Ganzhou City.
At this time, it has entered December.
It just so happened that the day after Xiao Yeyang returned to the city, the eunuch who delivered the order arrived.
?????????????????????????????????????????
Under the watchful eyes of all the officials of the guard station, Xiao Yeyang accepted the imperial edict to be promoted to commander.
On the day he received the order, Xiao Yeyang sent someone to send a message to all officials in the Qianhu Station and Baihu Station under the jurisdiction of the Wei Station, asking them to report to Ganzhou City in three days.
Xia Jianren curled his lips: "These are the three things a new official needs to do when he takes office!"
Fan Tong retorted: "Why is there a new official? Didn't Master Xiao take over the Ganzhou Guard as soon as he arrived?"
Xia Jianren snorted: "Before, everyone was concerned about his identity as the prince's son and did not care about him. Now it is justifiable."
Fan Tong shook his head: "Okay, I think Mr. Xiao is good. He has brought us high-yield grain seeds and taken back the Danhe River. I am convinced that he is the commander. Don't make such sarcastic remarks." .¡±
Watching Fan Tong leave, Xia Jianren frowned, wondering if Mr. Wei knew about this? Forget it, it's better to write a letter to Mr. Wei to explain.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the largest meeting hall of the health center, Xiao Yeyang was sitting in the main seat, looking at the officials sitting below, and without saying anything, he had Xia Jianren tied up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
