Pan Shuo’s delicate face turned purple.””Actually, I think…I think General Yang is really not bad. Can the emperor consider my suggestion again? 1’11… I told General Yang.”
Emperor Yu Heng was amused when he heard that.
“What? Who do you think you are? Do I have to do as you suggest? You even privately agreed with Yang Shao that you were secretly buying and selling officials?!”
“No, no, no, no. 1 don’t dare.”Pan Shuo was getting more and more anxious as he scratched his ears and cheeks.
“I don’t have any other thoughts. I just see that General Yang is a talent…”
“You can still tell that he’s a talent. You’re quite a talent too.”
“.. Thank you for your praise, emperor.” Why did it not sound like a good word?
Pan Shuo didn’t take it to heart. Instead, he was focused on explaining the private exchange, which made Wei Desheng laugh so hard that his intestines were almost cramped and a few inches shorter.
“Well, 1 just feel that General Yang’s martial arts are strong and that he is loyal. Didn’t the Emperor also see that General Yang was a talent, so he kept him by his side and made him a close combat general?”
“Recently, the matter in the Xiao manor has been quite big. He feels quite irritated and at a loss. This official thinks that it is not a good thing for him to be able to share the emperor’s worries and hide out of Jiankang City for peace.” Why did the more he explained, the darker the Emperor’s face became?
Pan Shuo thought about it later.
“He still knows how to be frustrated. He handled a good thing like this. The Xiao family is about to be turned upside down by him, yet he still complains to you.”Emperor Yu Heng recalled Pan Shuo saying that Yang Shao was a talent and felt disgusted. Did tigers never have a time to nap?
Moreover, Yang Shao’s martial arts were indeed amazing. One against three, but it was obvious that his intelligence could not keep up with his physical strength. A good marriage was messed up by him. Marriage was comparable to making enemies. How could he, the emperor, trust him and give him a chance? “Alright, zhen doesn’t care what wish you made to Yang Shao, what Yang Shao promised you, or if you are just standing up for your friend. Anyway, this matter can’t be handed over to him. Call Minister Xie over. 1 have something to instruct him.”
Emperor Yu Heng waved his hand impatiently and pushed the wooden club to his side. The Empress Dowager wanted him to be a whetstone to sharpen his temperament as an emperor.
The Emperor’s face twitched in disgust. No matter how thick-skinned Pan Shuo was, he didn’t have the face to continue grinding. The Emperor was not his aunt. As long as he was thick-skinned, he would definitely eat it. If you didn’t eat it, it would be stuffed into your mouth. With the Emperor, one had to know when to advance or retreat.
This was the conclusion he had reached in the past year after being cousins with the Emperor for more than twenty years.
He recommended Yang Shao because Yang Shao was his friend, but Xie Xian, who the Emperor had chosen, was also his friend. Moreover, he was his omnipotent, noble, and upright good friend. After Pan Shuo thought it through, he excitedly ran over to tell Xie Xian the good news.
Actually, when Emperor Yu Heng had been hesitating for half a day without deciding on a candidate, Xie Xian had already thought that the best candidate in the Emperor’s heart was likely to be him. The Emperor was only worried about how to make this frail and sickly official, who would ask for sick leave at any time, make this trip.
The Yu Clan was a local clan. Before Taizu established Daliang, they had already taken root in Yuyao County of Kuaiji Prefecture.
Taizu established the Daliang, the beginning of the world, the reliance on the number of people, the North, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas, the overseas, the overseas Chinese, the south, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese, the overseas Chinese
If it was at the beginning of the founding of the country, the overseas Chinese would have restrained themselves. Later on, after they really took root, in order to consolidate their own interests, the large overseas Chinese families expanded their territory and their hands became longer and longer. There were more and more conflicts and disputes with the Wu family.
Daliang’s political group had always been dominated by the overseas Chinese, and they had always been rejecting and suppressing the Wu family. In the decades since Daliang’s establishment, the Wu family had been excluded from the center of power, and their influence had become smaller and smaller. However, even if their power was getting smaller and smaller, the Emperor still hoped that the aristocratic families would take action. The reason was simple and crude. It was still very easy to suppress and suppress them with force. Even the generals of the lesser families could do it. After all, the Central Taiwan Army was very powerful and had been through hundreds of battles. However, the key was to rectify the situation after the suppression. It was likely that the Wu family thought too highly of themselves and looked down on the poor commoners. If they were not convinced, they would cause trouble everywhere, which would be more time-consuming and energy-consuming than fighting a war.
At this time, Xie Xian was also very concerned about the official matters. Since the Emperor had finally made up his mind, he had no intention of refusing and immediately received the edict to thank him.
The emperor personally granted Xie Xian the title of Commander-in-Chief of Xu, Yu, Yan, Qing and Yang. He set out on the same day.
Xie Xian personally appointed a few generals to assist him, including Yang Shao and Xue Jing ‘er, who was also a General of the Cabinet and the nephew of the Great General of Cheji.
Emperor Yu Heng frowned when he heard Yang Shao’s name.”Yang Shao won’t do.”
“General Yang’s martial arts are extraordinary and he is a fierce general.”Xie Xian recommended Yang Shao without any selfishness, and Yang Shao was very open-minded and understanding. His eyes were filled with ambition, and he was ostracized in Jiankang City. He would definitely be eager to win and get twice the result with half the effort.
” No.” Emperor Yu Heng insisted that Green Mountain would not relax. “Dear minister, Sikong Xiao has just returned to the court after winning. This Yang Shao…It was better to suppress him. If he was really a good person, it would not be too late to put him in an important position in the future.”
Pan Shuo silently bit his handkerchief in his heart. Why did his recommendation of Yang Shao end up as a private deal, with a look that said that he couldn’t recognize him, while Xie Xian’s recommendation of Yang Shao ended up as a suppression, hoping to put him in an important position in the future?
Was there a need to slap people’s faces like this? There was a difference in treatment. They were all recommending talents for the imperial court. It was not good to always look at people with colored eyes, right?
Since the problem was with Sikong Xiao, Xie Xian couldn’t insist anymore, so he selected another substitute.
Xie Xian accepted the order and walked out of Taiji Palace, facing Yang Shao, who had just changed his position. He had already heard about the Emperor’s appointment, so it would be a lie to say that he was not affected.
But Xie Xian, regardless of family background, talent, or even the Emperor’s favor, he was inferior to Xie Xian.
This made his fragile little heart, which had been ravaged by Xiao Jing ‘ai, suffer another blow.
However, he did not blame Xie Xian. He was indeed not as outstanding as Xie Xian. What he blamed was Xiao Jing ‘ai.
Ever since he heard Xiao Jing’s words about the change of dynasty, he had always thought that this was his opportunity and that he had to seize it. He felt that all the opportunities should belong to him. He was the future ruler of a country and needed opportunities.
He said that there must be an opportunity, so there was one. Unfortunately, it was not his.
“Congratulations…” Yang Shao forced a smile.
Xie Xian nodded slightly, and the two of them passed by each other.
” Maybe next time.” Pan Shuo patted Yang Shao’s shoulder.” Gold will shine. If it doesn’t shine, it’s because it’s hidden too deeply!””
Yang Shao was speechless. Were these words meant to comfort him?
Why did it sound so strange?
Did Xiao Jing ‘ai bury him too deeply? He couldn’t even understand human language!
