Han Dao world

Chapter 21 The Power of a Role Model
Happiness came so suddenly, Zhong Yao sighed for a moment, thanking himself for his hard work in the past few days.

After more than [-] years in his official career, his bole finally appeared.

Liu Xie poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhong Yao.

Zhong Yao took it with both hands, bowed again, and said in a strong nasal voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Shangdang looks at Jizhou from the left, controls Hedong from the right, and watches Hanoi from the eagle. It can be attacked when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. The terrain is so important that I don't need to say more." Liu Xie said unhurriedly: "I only have one thing to explain. you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Get in touch with the Black Mountain Army."

"Black Mountain... Army?" Zhong Yao was stunned, looking at Liu Xie blankly.

Liu Xie has long been mentally prepared. "The people are the foundation of the state, and the state is stable. The household registration of the Shangdang Party is thin, and after years of chaos, it is afraid that there are even fewer. The Black Mountain Army claims to have millions. If it can be recruited and surrendered, it may be used by the imperial court and become the foundation of ZTE."

Liu Xie sighed lightly. "The so-called yellow scarves were originally the people of the imperial court. For one reason or another, they fell into bandits and gathered in the mountains and forests. I am very embarrassed. If we can guide them to do good and live and work in peace, maybe peace can be expected."

Zhong Yao felt emotional.He lost his father in his early years and was brought up by his uncle Zhong Yu. Later, he served as the Yangling Order. He knew that the survival of the people was not easy, and many people were forced to take the road of rebellion.How many people are willing to rebel if they can live and work in peace and contentment?

"Your Majesty has great benevolence in his heart, and I must remember it in my heart, and dare not forget it for a moment."

Liu Xie nodded slightly. "If you get the right way, you will get more help, but if you lose the way, you will get little help. Although I am not sensitive, I would like to be a king of the right way, and I hope Yuan will always help me."

"Chen Yao, I would like to be a walking horse, to drive for Your Majesty."

-

Zhong Yao returned to his big tent, unable to calm down for a long time.

Ding Chong pushed the tent and entered, glanced at Zhong Yao, and couldn't help smiling. "Yuan Chang, Your Majesty has summoned you for so long, what important matters have you discussed?"

Zhong Yao took out the ribbon of Shangdang prefect from his pocket, and held it in front of Ding Chong.

The smile on Ding Chong's face froze.He looked at Zhong Yao, then at the ribbon, he still couldn't believe it, he stretched out his hand to take it again, looked at it carefully, confirmed that he was speechless, and couldn't help breathing heavily.

"Yuan Chang, you are..." Ding Chong licked his lips, not knowing what to say.

Being an official to two thousand stones is the dream of many people, and it is also a gap that many people cannot reach in their lifetime.

Even though he was born in the Ding family of Peiguo, he dare not say that he will be able to reach two thousand shi in this life.

Not to mention the Zhong family of Yingchuan Changshe.

Zhong Yao took back the ribbon and carefully put it in his arms.Two thousand stones are rare, but His Majesty's trust is even more valuable.

"Youyang, Your Majesty has already agreed, to pay homage to General Cao Mengde Zhendong, and lead Yanzhou Shepherd. The edict will be issued soon and will be taken to Yanzhou by Zhongji."

Ding Chong withdrew his nostalgic gaze, and said happily, "In this way, we will live up to Meng De's entrustment. Yuan Chang, you are a meritorious minister, and Meng De will definitely repay you generously in the future."

Zhong Yao smiled and remained silent.

The Son of Heaven's promise to make Cao Cao the Yanzhou Shepherd actually had nothing to do with him, but Ding Chong didn't object when he thought so.

"Your Majesty originally had high hopes for Cao Yanzhou, but considering that Zhang Yang was in Hanoi, he might not let Cao Yanzhou pass, so he had to settle for the next best thing and order me to go to the party. If Zhang Yang is loyal to the imperial court and will hold a stalemate with Cao Yanzhou, naturally Best. If Zhang Yang has different ambitions, he must join forces with Cao Yanzhou to pinch Zhang Yang. I hope you can tell Cao Yanzhou about the deep meaning of this."

Ding Chong raised his eyebrows lightly, looked at Zhong Yao for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"Dare to obey."

-

Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and his son sat opposite each other.

Holding the wine glass, Yang Biao looked at Yang Xiu flickeringly.

Knowing that Zhong Yao was entrusted with an important task by the emperor and that he was about to take up the post of Shangdang prefect, Yang Xiu felt a little depressed.

The scene of meeting Zhong Yao for the first time keeps appearing in front of his eyes, which makes him feel more and more uncomfortable the more he thinks about it.

"Boy, don't be discouraged." Yang Biao said slowly: "You are still young, a few falls may not be a bad thing."

"Father taught it well, son will remember it." Yang Xiu lowered his head.

"Zhong Yao's appointment to the Shangdang is an opportunity for you. Your Majesty wants to face Li Jue and Guo Si in Huayin, and it will not be easy to revive morale. You should work hard to share your worries with Your Majesty. But you have merit , Your Majesty will change your opinion on you."

"Here." Yang Xiuqiang smiled twice, raised his glass, and thanked Yang Biao.

With his father leading the way, he doesn't need to worry too much about his future, as long as he works hard enough, he will surely get what he wants.

The father and son chatted for a while, Yang Biao asked softly, "Dezu, what do you think Your Majesty will say when he sees Jia Xu?"

Yang Xiu tilted his head and pondered for a long time. "My son is stupid, I really can't figure it out. Jia Xu may have a little wisdom, but he is a party in Xiliang after all, and he is the one who caused the disaster in Chang'an. Why does His Majesty value him so much? Even if such a person enters the court, what can he do? Does he dare to hope for the position of public minister?"

Yang Biao's eyes flickered and he nodded. "Yes, Jia Xu has always been cautious. At the beginning, Li Jue wanted to make him a Marquis, but he rejected him. He wanted to worship him as a minister, but he also declined. This time, as soon as His Majesty left Chang'an, he immediately resigned and took his wife to stay. Duan Yan. Even if His Majesty is willing to entrust his heart, I am afraid that he will not dare to accept it. After thinking about it, maybe His Majesty knows it well, but just wants to show his sincerity and comfort Duan Yan and Yang Dingzhi."

Yang Xiu pouted. "The generals in Xiliang are aggressive, aggressive, rude, and difficult to achieve great things. Although this Jia Xu is a scholar and has read some books, he can't get rid of the cunning of the Qiang and barbarians. After all, he can't be a minister. But this Zhong Yao, deeply His Majesty has to rely heavily on it, and it is likely to be a late bloomer."

Yang Biao looked at Yang Xiu. "It's not a matter of these few days that Zhong Yao can be trusted by His Majesty, it's just that his opportunity has arrived. Be patient and do your own thing well, and you will naturally have your own opportunity."

Yang Xiu nodded again and again, and added another glass of wine to Yang Biao.

"Father, tell me about your majesty's Bingzhou policy. After much deliberation, I still find it difficult. Although Bingzhou is not as powerful as Guandong Prefecture, it has been occupied by barbarians for a long time, and its registered permanent residence is more than that of Han people. Your Majesty wants to gain a foothold in Bingzhou, We must face these barbarians. When Huan Ling was here, the Three Ming Dynasty came one after another, and there were more defeats than victories. Now that the court is as precarious as duckweed, how can we drive out the barbarians and restore our Chinese clothes?"

Yang Biao took a sip of his wine, a trace of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"Boy, this is also what I don't understand. I really can't think of any clever plan for His Majesty to pacify Bingzhou, and then use Bingzhou to fight for the world. It's just that in the current situation, it's rare for him to have aspirations. As a captain, I have to support it. As for the future, we can only wait until Bingzhou."

He looked at Yang Xiu. "If you can think of these things, it's considered hard work. You might as well think about it more. If His Majesty asks you in the future, you are also prepared."

"Here."

Yang Biao added: "There are Hu captives in all counties of Bingzhou, but Taiyuan and Shangdang are slightly less. His Majesty appointed Zhong Yao as the prefect of Shangdang. Perhaps it is for the future. Geographically, Shangdang is not as good as Taiyuan. I don't know in His Majesty's heart , who is the candidate for Taiyuan prefect, I am really curious."

As he spoke, he gave Yang Xiu a meaningful look.

Yang Xiu suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and quickly shook his hand. "Father, I... just entered the official position, so I dare not think about it."

Yang Biao hesitated to speak, and after a while, he quietly said: "You have self-knowledge. Kid, you have finally made some progress."

　Congratulations to the conscientious and lonely brother, a book friend, who became the first leader of this book, adding a new chapter first.

　　Lao Zhuang slowly returned the rest.
